I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 51 Serial Murders

Su Xiaoxiao came to the office early in the morning and found Qi Lei was already there. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, he probably didn't sleep well because he was thinking about the case.

"Captain, you're here so early!" Su Xiaoxiao said as she handed over the bun in her hand. "You haven't had breakfast yet? Give me a bun, homemade."

Qi Lei didn't bother to be polite with her and just reached out and took one.

He didn't actually come early, but he didn't go home last night. There was no progress in the case, and he felt uneasy.

Such a dangerous murderer is on the loose and new victims may appear at any time.

While staring at the computer screen, he took a bite of the bun. It tasted really good, even better than the ones in their cafeteria.

The team members arrived one after another. Qi Lei saw that everyone was there, so he finished the bun in his hand in a few bites and called the team members to a meeting.

The result of not going home the whole night was that he thought of a few points. After a night of verification, he now has new ideas.

The first thing that came to his mind was to copy the crime.

Copycat crimes are usually committed by imitating a case in which the suspect has not been caught, so that the police mistakenly believe that the murderer of the previous case did it.

If the suspect has already been caught, there is no point in imitating the crime.

Of course, there is another possibility. If the imitator admires the murderer very much, he may also imitate the crime to pay tribute to him. This possibility exists, but it is rare. After all, there are not so many perverts in this world.

So, the first thing he wanted to investigate was the unsolved cases.

I didn't expect there were similar unsolved cases, and not just one.

There is one case each in Zhongyang City and Wanping City of this province, and one in Lin City of other provinces.

The two incidents in this province occurred in January and June last year, and the one in another province happened in November last year.

The deceased were all women, of similar age, around 25 or 26 years old, but had different occupations.

The deceased in Zhongyang City was named Qiu Moyan. He was 25 years old at the time of the incident, a college graduate, and currently a primary school teacher teaching history.

She was married at the time, and her husband was an executive at a technology company. On the day of the incident, her husband was on a business trip and found his wife strangled to death on the bed when he returned home. The victim was wearing a nightgown that was rolled up above her chest. There were signs of sexual assault on her lower body, but no male body fluids were extracted. Only lubricant was detected inside. The murderer may have brought a condom.

The deceased in Wanping City was named Lin Hanshuang. She was also 25 years old at the time of the incident. She graduated from university and is currently a bank clerk.

She was unmarried at the time, but she had a boyfriend who lived with her. Her boyfriend was not at home on the day of the accident, and when he came back, the body was already smelly. The cause of death was also strangulation, and the clothes were rolled up. There were also signs of sexual assault on the lower body, and only lubricant was detected inside.

The situation in another province was a little different.

The victim in Lin City was named Lu Xue. She was 26 years old at the time of the crime, a college graduate, and worked in a foreign company. She was also unmarried and was also strangled to death. Her shirt was rolled up and her pants were pulled down to her knees. The only difference was that there were no signs of being violated on her body.

Of course, it is also possible that the murderer did not have time to complete the entire procedure for some reason.

These three cases have not been solved yet. The cases in Zhongyang City and Wanping City were even handled together because the two deceased were junior high school classmates. However, the scene was too clean and the murderer was never found.

"Including the case we have, there are four similar cases. Is it a serial killer or a copycat? Does anyone have any ideas? Su Xiaoxiao, you go first."

In fact, after listening to Xiangnan's words last night, Su Xiaoxiao also had the idea of ​​imitating the crime in her mind, but now that several similar cases have been uncovered and the victims are all women in their twenties, she has a new idea.

"I'm more inclined to believe that this is a serial killer."

"reason?"

"Captain, you see, when we investigate a case, some details will not be made public, such as the murderer always washes in the bathroom and cleans the scene. Outsiders will not know these details.

Our case is exactly the same as the previous two cases, and the details of the scene handling are exactly the same. If it is a copycat crime, I think the third case is more like a copycat crime.

Another thing is that these victims are all women of similar age. Although they have different life experiences, they all have high education, good careers, and good looks. This does not seem like a random target, but more like the result of careful selection.

So, I think the murderer may hate this type of women, who are both beautiful and rich, and this makes the murderer dislike them. Of course, this is just a possibility.

There is another possibility. Their current experiences seem to have no intersection, but that does not mean they have never come into contact. What if it is an old grudge? "

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the three possibilities Xiangnan gave and felt that old grudges were more likely to be involved.

The criminal investigation team members also expressed their views. Some agreed with Su Xiaoxiao's opinion, while others put forward their own opinions.

Qi Lei finally summarized everyone's opinions. Currently, the majority of people believe that the murderer is a serial killer, but there is no consensus as to the motive for the murder. Now they can only act separately.

Su Xiaoxiao tends to think that there is some kind of intersection between them, but this intersection is not made public, so she has to start from the beginning.

Several women were highly educated and had decent jobs, with Wang Quanzhen being the only exception. Su Xiaoxiao checked and found out that Wang Quanzhen had also been to college, and the university she was admitted to was actually the best among them, but she failed to graduate successfully.

According to her former class teacher, she was expelled from school because something happened to her during her time at the school.

As for why she was fired, she refused to say at first.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "This involves a murder case. If you don't want to talk about it on the phone, we can ask you to come over and talk."

When the head teacher heard that they had to go to the police station, she immediately got scared and said it was okay, but they had to keep it a secret for her.

Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

The head teacher said that Wang Quanzhen was admitted with high scores and the school had high hopes for her. However, she became unpredictable after entering university and did not focus on studying but was busy with love affairs.

It is normal for college students to fall in love, but she dated several men at a time, which made them jealous. It is said that she received so many gifts that she was overwhelmed.

Naturally, the results plummeted.

By her junior year, she had already failed several subjects. Instead of studying hard to make up for the exams, she used some tricks to get the teachers to help her change her grades.

"What means did you use?"

"It's just seduction."

And there was more than one teacher, and in the end she got pregnant, but she didn't know whose child it was.

This incident caused a big stir in the school that year. The wives of several teachers came to the school and the situation was out of control for a while. In the end, the school had no choice but to expel her.

Since this concerns the school's reputation, the school strictly ordered them not to spread the matter in any occasion. The school also asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement and gave them some hush money.

Is it so exciting? It seems that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
