Chapter 747 The Tragic Crime Scene
During lunch, Lin Huang quickly flipped through the information.
Judging from this more detailed information, there is really no connection between the sixteen deceased people. They basically come from different strongholds, and family members can't see any intersection. There is no clue from the itinerary and call records of the deceased one month before his death.
"How is it, is there any useful information?" Xiahou asked vaguely while chewing a piece of medium-rare barbecue in his mouth full of oil.
"No." Lin Huang shook his head, but this information made him even more clueless.
"Then what should I do next?" Xiahou swallowed the roast meat in his mouth and asked again.
"Let's go to the crime scene and see later." Lin Huang had no other way for the time being.
After lunch, the two rushed to the scene of the crime immediately.
The order of viewing selected by Lin Huang is the chronological order of the incident. The first person to go to is the first crime scene sixteen days ago, which is located in a small alley with dense low-rise houses.
The two quickly found the specific location according to the coordinates provided by the alliance government.
That small alley has been completely quarantined by the alliance government with super-quality treasures, and there are only two guards. After Xiahou and Lin Huang presented their investigation certificates and assistant certificates, they were released into the alley.
The floor of this alley is paved with bluestone blocks, and it looks a few years old. The entire hutong is about 30 meters long and less than 1.5 meters wide. Although the houses on both sides are not high, they are at least 78 meters long. The light in the hutong is inevitably a little dark.
"Such a small alley, what did the victim want to do when he got in in the middle of the night? Looking for a place to pee?" Xiahou couldn't help muttering.
"You haven't read the information much, have you?" Lin Huang turned his head and glanced at Xiahou behind him, and continued without waiting for him to answer, "There is a black market less than 300 meters ahead. The victim was killed in this place, it should be early in the morning. Just came out of the black market when it closed."
"You came out of the black market, didn't you just use the portal to leave?" Xiahou asked immediately.
"You really haven't read the information... He lives in a nearby hotel. It's a few minutes' walk from the black market. There's no need to use a portal."
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the victim's place of death. The outline of the deceased's body was outlined with white lines by the staff of the Union Government.
Under the shield of the Noble Phantasm, the lines were not washed away by the rain, and they were still as clear as they were half a month ago.
Judging from the sketched lines, the corpse fell directly to the ground when it died, and the severed head rolled down one meter away.
The blood stains on the walls on both sides, as well as on the nearby ground, were quite amazing. As soon as Lin Huang saw this scene, he almost outlined in his mind the tragic state of the victim's death - being beheaded with a knife, and then the headless corpse spurted blood frantically from the carotid artery.
"Beheading with one knife, this method of death is really tragic." Xiahou muttered.
"In such a narrow location, if a stranger came across in the middle of the night, I would definitely be vigilant. But from the previous corpse and autopsy reports, the victim has no signs of fighting, and was killed without any resistance. The person beheaded from the front. This shows that the murderer is either very familiar with the victim, leaving him unprepared, or the movement and shooting speed are extremely fast, so fast that the victim can't be prepared..." Lin Huang said, Filmed on the spot.
After completing the observation and recording of the first scene, the two did not stay any longer, and immediately rushed to the second scene after leaving the alley.
The second murder scene was in an upscale hotel room.
Because of this case, the entire hotel is closed, and no one can enter or leave except the investigators and assistants of the case.
After Lin Huang and Xiahou passed the review of the guards, they took the floating ladder to the 91st floor and found room 091021 where the case occurred.
Apart from the fact that the body was not in place, the room remained the same as it was at the time of the crime, and even the sheets and pillows had not been moved.
"It's so clean, has anyone cleaned this place?" Xiahou shouted as soon as he entered the room.
In the living room, everything is as clean as new, and it is completely impossible to see that this is the scene of the murder. However, Lin Huang just read the information not long ago, and there was indeed no trace of fighting at the scene of the crime.
Seeing that Xiahou began to read the case information on his own, Lin Huang didn't say anything and walked straight to the master bedroom on the right.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the bedroom, Lin Huang saw the bed where the case happened. The blood stains on the sheets had turned into jet-black spots, covering almost three-quarters of the bed.
At the moment of seeing this scene, Lin Huang's mind almost formed a picture of the victim's death - his head and limbs were cut off in his sleep, and he didn't have time to react at all.
"This guy is even worse than the previous one. He was actually dismembered while sleeping." Xiahou also walked slowly into the bedroom. "If he slept a little later, he might not have died."
"It doesn't matter whether he sleeps or not, he will still die, but the final location where the body is found will be different." Lin Huang gave a different view. "Every time the murderer completes the killing at twelve o'clock in the evening, it means that the victim must have been selected in advance. So no matter where the victim is or what he is doing, as long as the time is up, the murderer will definitely shoot."
"Listening to what you said, the murderer should have chosen the victim in advance." Xiahou nodded in agreement after hearing this, his voice paused for a while, and then continued, "But there is one question that I don't quite understand, Madeleine. In a B-level stronghold like the city, there are very few strong people in the immortal realm. It is estimated that there are less than 100 people who have settled down. Even if you count the people who come and go, it will definitely not exceed 300 people, but the total population here is 6. More than 10 million. That is to say, under normal circumstances, the probability of a murderer encountering a strong immortal living realm in Mad City is less than 1 in 200,000, and the probability of encountering a one- to three-step immortal living realm is even smaller. Under such a low probability, how did the murderer find these victims? It's impossible to meet them on the street."
"I have also considered this issue." After reading the information, Bloody had already raised this point, and Lin Huang had secretly discussed with it, "There are two possibilities. The first is that the murderer's hands There is a teleportation registration list of Mad City. The second is that the murderer has been squatting near the portal of Mad City."
"I think the second possibility is unlikely. There are two portals, old and new, in Mad City, separated by thousands of kilometers. Can the murderer guard both portals at the same time? Even if he has the ability to clone, it is impossible for him to be thousands of kilometers away. It can still maintain the normal operation of the clone, this is something that even the strong in the imperial palace cannot do." Xiahou raised his objection again.
"Who told you that he was guarding by himself? Couldn't he have accomplices? Couldn't he pay some money to hire others to guard?" Lin Huang asked back with a smile.
"Uh, okay." Xiahou was speechless, and immediately changed the subject, "The first possibility you just mentioned means that the murderer is someone from the alliance government?"
"Not necessarily. There are three possibilities for the murderer to obtain the transmission list. First, the murderer has accomplices within the alliance government. Second, the murderer hacked into the relevant departments of the alliance government through network technology and obtained the list. Of course, there are also The last possibility - the murderer is someone inside the coalition government."
"Are we going to see the next crime scene?" Xiahou asked again.
"Of course we should. What if there are more direct clues at other sites? Wouldn't we have missed it if we didn't watch it?" Lin Huang also became excited after finding a new direction for the development of the case. Now he no longer cares whether the murderer is the life-fire monster he is looking for. This step-by-step approach to the truth makes him find pleasure, and it also makes him temporarily forget the urgency of combat power promotion.
