No such person [criminal investigation]

10pm.

Qi Zang's ward seemed to be a temporary conference room, not only Bai Shuwei and Li Zhengzheng came, but also Gong Nianci and Bu Qingyun.

Gong Nianci first talked about the autopsy results. "The deceased died of cyanide|potassium. She was poisoned first, and then her head was beheaded."

Qi Zang immediately frowned. "Where did the current criminals get so many cyanides!"

Gong Nianci made a gesture of spreading his hands. "I also had a preliminary discussion with Mr. Bu. It is impossible for the deceased to cut off his own head. The murderer poisoned him in such a grand manner, so the murderer is not afraid of being known as a murder. It seems that he did it out of ritual. Everything about the design.”

"Indeed." Qi Zang said, "This case is probably related to Liu Na's case. It just so happens that... Xie Qiao is also in this hospital. I just asked him to find out about the painting."

Explaining the story about the psychiatrist Shen Yihan, Qi Zang said, "To sum up, Shen Yihan likes to let his patients draw pictures and write some words on them as a means of auxiliary treatment. The year before last, Shen Yihan left his job and went abroad. , whereabouts are currently unknown.

"The original painting in Liu Na's case is in Xie Qiao's place, but there is a photo in Shen Yihan's place, and the photo that appeared on Liu Na's desk is also a remake of the painting. The one that appeared at the scene of the murder is now It is the original painting. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that Shen Yihan may have kept the original paintings drawn by the patients, or may only keep the photos as medical records.

"In any case, the photos in Liu Na's case and the paintings at the crime scene in this case should all come from Shen Yihan's patient. This is why these paintings are not professional at all. They really can't draw drawn by people.

"As for the murderer who killed Feng Qiuling, there are two possibilities now. The first one is that the murderer is Shen Yihan. He didn't know why he killed someone, and for what reason, he arranged the murder scene as a painting by his patient. Come out the way the painting looks.

"The second possibility is that the murderer is not Shen Yihan, but he obtained the paintings of Shen Yihan's patients in some way. After Shen Yihan left the office, he did not leave the patient's information in the consultation room, but brought it back home. After that, he hurriedly left the country. , These paintings should not be taken away, but left behind.

"Afterwards, two years ago, his home suffered a theft accident. In other words, all the paintings of Shen Yihan's patient were probably stolen two years ago."

"If Shen Yihan is a murderer, he has to go back to his country to kill people. This is easy to investigate. I will check his entry and exit records tomorrow. But if he is not a murderer..."

At this point, Li Zhengzheng couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the one who killed Feng Qiuling now was the one who stole the painting? It seems that he has a deep obsession with creating a sense of ritual, so he will steal the painting. It should be like this. ?”

Now it is preliminarily inferred that the murderer has a sense of ritual in killing.

In his sense of ritual, painting is indispensable, after all, he has to arrange the scene according to the content of the painting.

So in order to achieve his goal, he would of course choose to steal paintings.

The question raised by Qi Zang is: "For some reason, the murderer was inspired by the idea of ​​'imitating paintings to kill people'. With this idea, he would carry out a series of actions such as stealing paintings and killing people. This is a more common sense. logic.

"That is to say, the interval between stealing the painting and killing the man should not be too long. But the painting is probably stolen two years ago. Why did the murderer take so long to kill?"

"Boss, I can't think of an answer to your question at the moment, other than that... I still have questions."

Bai Shuwei tilted her head and said, "Wait a minute, I'm a bit confused by connecting two cases in series. Let me take a look... In other words, if the murderer is not Shen Yihan, there is a high probability that the murderer went to Shen Yihan's house two years ago to steal stuff people, right?

"Two years later, the murderer wanted to kill someone, and it was Feng Qiuling who killed him. However, at the beginning, he might not have thought of doing it himself, but wanted to buy|murder|kill|kill someone. And he hoped that the killer would kill him. There is a sense of ritual to decorate the scene. So he entrusted the criminal organization Sicolorhua to do this. After all, there are quite a lot of killers in Sicolorhua.”

"After receiving this task, Sisehua gave Yuan Xiaobing the photo of Xie Qiao's painting, props plasma and other props that can realize the ritual sense of the murder to Yuan Xiaobing. Arrived in the trunk of the car, intending to use it to kill Feng Qiuling and set up the scene.

"It's just that before that, he received a new task. He had to deal with a dismembered corpse. Now we know that the reason Sicolorhua asked him to do this was because the dismembered corpse had AIDS. Viruses, they are afraid of infection.

"Ahem, Yuan Xiaobing received this mission and decided to sink the body into Zishui Lake in Baiyun Mountain. At the same time, he and Zhu Xiu wanted to kidnap Liu Na, so he drove a car with these props to Baiyun Mountain He disposes of the dismembered corpse, but accidentally kills Liu Na.

"Afterwards, he communicated with Sisehua and asked them what to do. In order to blame Yuan Xiaobing, they asked him to use the ready-made props in the car to arrange a very contrived murder scene in a secret room?"

"Yes. That's roughly the case." Qi Zang said, "It's just that Yuan Xiaobing is a young man. At that time, he might just be arranged to prepare those props or arrange the scene. The real killer is probably not him. Regarding this point, Tomorrow, you can go to the prison to find him a little bit, and let him explain in detail.

"So, what's your problem?"

Bai Shuwei said: "My question is, according to this statement, the murderer has a bunch of paintings of Shen Yihan's patients. He wanted to kill Feng Qiuling a few months ago, and he used Xie Qiao's paintings. Xie Qiao's paintings were accidental. It was used on Liu Na, and it was inconvenient to use it a second time, so he changed the current painting of beheading...

"What I mean is, if there were no Liu Na case, would Feng Qiuling's death be the same as Xie Qiao's painting? That is, 'kill you, eat you' or something.

"So... the murderer seems to have chosen the painting at random? That painting is no longer usable, so another painting is fine. From this perspective..."

Li Zhengzheng obviously understood what she meant immediately, and immediately took over the words: "I understand, you mean to say, from this perspective, the murderer's sense of ritual doesn't seem to be that strong!"

Of course Qi Zang understood what the two men meant.

The murderer has a sense of ritual when killing people, and there are usually the following two possibilities——

First, the person the murderer cares about has been killed, and the murderer killed the enemy in the same way for revenge.

Qi Zang once handled a case in which the husband's wife was poured sulfuric acid to death, and he later doused the enemy with sulfuric acid.

Second, the murderer was brainwashed by a cult and respected a certain ritual to kill.

For example, many years ago in the United States, there was a well-known serial murderer who claimed to be the spokesperson of Satan. After the murder, he would put the corpse as if he was being punished, and leave an inverse pentagram on the scene.

Regardless of the possibility, the murderer's method of committing the crime is a given.

For example, the husband whose wife was thrown sulfuric acid, unless the objective conditions do not allow it, he will definitely use sulfuric acid to avenge his revenge when he pays attention to the sense of ritual.

Another example is the pentagram killer, he will not randomly draw a triangle or pentagram on the scene to destroy the seriousness of the ritual.

But now?

No cult elements were found at the scene, and the murderer probably killed Feng Qiuling out of hatred.Then he is likely to punish her in a certain way, or arrange the scene in a certain way.

However, the current crime scene seems to be either the scene in Xu Ci's painting eight years ago, or the painting drawn by a mentally ill person who fantasized that he was the hero who saved Britain...

Why is that?

He arranged the scene according to the content in the painting, which means he has a sense of ritual.

But why is his sense of ritual so casual?

At this time, a very bad premonition rose in Qi Zang's mind.

But he hasn't been able to really catch it yet.

Qi Zang has always paid attention to the situation at the scene of the crime, paid attention to the actual evidence, temporarily put aside those unfounded and messy thoughts, and looked down at the case information newly handed by Bai Shuwei.

After photographing the scene from all angles, Qi Zang noticed two teacups on the wooden table.

Qi Zang immediately asked: "How did she get cyanide|potassium, did you find it?"

Bu Qingyun, who was in physics and chemistry, said at this moment: "I checked, I was also attracted by the painting, and almost forgot to mention it. Two teacups, one of which was found to have cyanide|potassium residues. The rest of the tableware in the room , Kettle, teapot, etc. have been checked, and there is no similar ingredient.

"So, the murderer may have accurately poured the poison into the cup Feng Qiuling wanted to drink. It is very likely that the two of them were drinking tea together in this room at that time."

--what happened?Was there anyone in Feng Qiuling's room that night?

Qi Zang asked Bai Shuwei: "Did the other four masters see anything?"

Bai Shuwei shook her head: "I asked, they went to bed early and got up early, and they didn't hear or see anything. Oh yes, the place where Feng Qiuling lives is separated from the other four by a yard, so there is also a certain distance."

"They don't know that Feng Qiuling will meet with guests?"

"I don't know." Bai Shuwei sighed, "That kind of place, deep in the mountains and old forests, has no surveillance. It's very difficult."

Li Zhengzheng said: "We are still waiting for the analysis results of the trace inspection. The footprints, fingerprints, etc. inside and outside the deceased's room may have results. The nearest monitoring of Baiquan Mountain is two kilometers away. However, the image inspection is also investigating. I hope I can catch some clues about the murderer."

Qi Zang asked again: "What about Feng Qiuling's social relations?"

Bai Shuwei said: "Her parents have passed away, and she found a professional manager to manage the company. Feng Qiuling has shares and can get dividends. But she didn't spend much money. She donated all the dividends she got. She doesn't It seems like someone who would fight with others for money. The rest of the relatives...she didn't have much contact.

"In short, she has been a monk for 15 years, and she has not found any enemies for the time being. It is very strange."

"Why did she become a monk? Is there any question about this?"

"I asked. Those four masters didn't know about it. They came later than Feng Qiuling. It is said that Feng Qiuling worshiped a master in the temple before. She only told her about her thoughts, and the master explained her. It's a pity that the master has passed away."

The "ward meeting" ended, and several people left one after another.

Xu Ci avoided the nurse's "inspection" all the way, and sneaked into Qi Zang's room again.

This matter was deeply involved with Shen Yihan and Sicolorhua, so Xu Ci was really curious.

Qi Zang shared the current investigation results with him, and finally emphasized the strangeness of the murderer's sense of ritual.

"You've always been good at analyzing these things. In your opinion, what's going on?" Qi Zang asked him.

However, Xu Ci's expression became extremely serious.

"What's wrong? What did you think of?"

Xu Ci was sitting right under the fluorescent lamp, and his face was paler than paper at that moment.

Looking up at Qi Zang, his eyes are particularly deep. "The murderer has many paintings of patients, so what if the people he wants to kill...are also many?"

Hearing this, Qi Zang's heart almost skipped a beat.

The terrible premonition in his heart was shattered by Xu Ci, and he and Xu Ci coincidentally thought of a very terrifying possibility——

Will people follow the painting to kill people? This matter itself is indeed a good ritual; but when it comes to each dead person, the murderer doesn't care?

That is, the killer wanted to kill many people.When killing people, just arrange them according to those paintings.The murderer doesn't care, a certain dead person must correspond to a certain painting.As long as the overall requirements are met.

So...Feng Qiuling was probably not the only one who died!

——Could this be the beginning of a serial murder case?
