crime profiler in the dark

Then the former director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of City C died of a heart attack at a party seven months later. According to eyewitnesses present, he suddenly rolled down the stairs, covered his heart with his hands, and writhed in pain. Those present immediately notified the doctor, but it was too late.

Then half a year later, the director of the most influential TV station in City C was stabbed by a box jellyfish while diving in Weiyang Island.The box jellyfish is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world. There are millions of poisonous spines on its tentacles. Once it is stabbed by it, it can die within a few minutes, and the death process is extremely painful and slow. At that time There was no one around him, and the sea area where he went diving was an active place for box jellyfish. Generally, box jellyfish would not attack humans unless they felt threatened. It can only be said that he was too unlucky.

Almost half a year later, the master professor who taught Chinese studies in City C went to Weiyang Island with her husband and two children to spend the winter. One day, she, who had never been interested in cars and never entered the garage, came to the garage on a whim for some reason. Looking for something, the shelf fell down on her, causing postural suffocation [Note] At that time, her husband and two children were playing somatosensory games in the living room on the second floor. Found out, it was too late.

([Note]: Postural asphyxia: When a person inhales, the diaphragm will drop, and the ribs and intercostal muscles will expand to make room for the lungs to inflate. However, if the chest cavity is compressed by external force, the lungs will not be able to suck in air. Unable to expand and unable to breathe, resulting in suffocation death, and no injuries on the body)

The most recent death was a former judge in City C. His wife and children settled in Switzerland, where he lived alone until robbers tried to break into his home, but found him dead in the jacuzzi in the garden. In the water, the corpses had already swollen and rotted, and the pool was also stained dark yellow, with a layer of decomposed human fat floating on it. The scene and smell were enough to make everyone present have nightmares for several years!

Since these six people were not idle people, Police Officer Liu also reported the case to the Qinglong Police Station to which he was affiliated. The Qinglong Police Station also sent police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department and forensic doctors to the scene to check, and found no clues, so the cases were closed. .

Indeed, judging from the data, these six cases have nothing in common except that the victims are all from City C, and there are almost no traces of man-made. Is it really a coincidence?

After reading the materials, Bai Haolin was a little puzzled why Yi Yunzhao defined these six seemingly unrelated cases as serial murders. The banquet prepared by Ming only hoped that this matter would be over soon, so he said:

"Yun Zhao, I'm sorry, I didn't see that this was a serial murder case."

"Indeed, I didn't find anything unusual just by looking at the autopsy report." Qin Siye said after reading the six autopsy reports.

"It seems far-fetched to define homicide just because the six deceased were all from City C." Bai Haolin said, "From the perspective of criminal psychology, there are three elements to determine a serial murder case: the type of victim, the modus operandi and The characteristics of the crime, unfortunately, I did not see any commonality from these six cases."

"Of course the dead don't have anything in common!" Yi Yunzhao said seriously, "but..."

Before he could give an answer, Qin Siye said first, "If you say it's a mysterious event like a curse, I'll go back right away."

Yi Yunzhao suddenly opened his mouth as if his throat was stuck by an invisible hand, his throat wanted to make a sound but couldn't, his face flushed red, like a helpless child who was caught stealing candy .

"Doctor Qin, let him finish." Bai Haolin knew that Yi Yunzhao must have a very good reason, otherwise He Guangzhong would not have sent them.

"At first I really thought it was a curse, until I saw these." Yi Yunzhao picked out a few photos from the documents and placed them side by side in front of Bai Haolin and Qin Siye.

The two saw that these were photos of the scene of the six cases. They had seen them before and found nothing unusual.

"Yun Zhao, I know you are a master at 'Find Your Sister', but can you tell us what we need to see?" Qin Siye asked.

Yi Yunzhao circled an object in several photos with a pen.I saw a flower in each photo. They were not far from the scene of the crime, but they were of different colors, including white, rose red, and pink. From the petals, it could be seen that they were of the same species.

"Is this camellia?" Qin Siye didn't know much about flowers, so he made a random guess.

"This is Hibiscus, and it is also the city flower of City C."

"They are all from City C. It's not surprising that there are flowers from their hometown at home, right?" Bai Haolin didn't think this could be used as a criterion for judging a serial murder case.

"But look at these two photos." Yi Yunzhao said as he found two more photos.

One of these two pictures is the living room of the former congressman’s house, and the other is the garage of the professor’s house. These two pictures were taken by myself shortly before their death and then posted on the social network, but the same place where the hibiscus was placed was empty, and there was no no flowers
