I'm not a super cop

Chapter 150 The Common Ground
When the murderer abandoned the victim's head and other parts in Changqiao Park, he wrapped it in a sheet and threw it deep into the woods in the park, and then covered it with fallen leaves.

If a group of students hadn't been playing in the forest and found the bed sheet out of curiosity, the police would not have found all the places to dump the corpses so quickly.

But this time, the murderer threw the body in Changqiao Park, using a travel bag, or throwing it outside the woods.

If the murderer in the two cases is the same person, this person used a bed sheet 15 years ago to dispose of the body, and 15 years later, when he was older, he used the travel bag very fastidiously?It doesn't make sense.

Most importantly, judging from the fact that the body parts were all discovered the next morning, in both cases, the murderer should have thrown the body at night.

In the middle of the night, alone, in the rain, ordinary people are a little scared walking on the street, let alone going deep into the dense forest in the middle of the night?
But the murderer back then probably got into the depths of the dense forest in the middle of the night and left the body behind.

Therefore, there may be only one murderer who threw the body outside the woods this time: he was afraid and did not dare to drill into the woods.

This is a very normal phenomenon, no matter how vicious a person is, there will always be something that scares him deep in his heart.

Human beings' fear of the dark jungle comes from ancient genes.

The strange thing is, if the two cases are the same person, why did he dare to go deep into the jungle 15 years ago, but not 15 years later?

From this, it can be seen that Team Lei's judgment is correct.

The murderer of this dismemberment case was basically imitating the previous case!

Moreover, a case of dumping corpses that resembles in appearance but not in spirit cannot be a perfect crime committed by the murderer in commemoration of that year.

Assuming that this case is an imitation, then the perpetrator obviously doesn't know the details of the case back then, otherwise he wouldn't be so blunt about trying to make a fool of the old case back then.

So the murderer should have only one purpose in doing this: he wants to mislead the police and link this case with the case of the year, so as to remove the suspicion.

However, it was self-defeating. He didn't know the details of the case back then, and he only relied on the route to rote, which actually allowed the police to rule out the possibility of the same person committing the crime faster.

Compared with the old cases of that year, the murderer of the 'Double 11 Case' should have an IQ and sufficient professional knowledge.

But judging from his lack of knowledge of the details of the old case, it can be inferred that when the old case happened, the murderer this time should be young, and he only vaguely or roughly remembered the characteristics of the old case, so he had this specious imitation .

From this, Xiao Ran deduced that the murderer should be several years older than him, about 25 years old, which also fits the murderer's height characteristics.

After closing the file in his hand, Xiao Ran lay on the bunk, quietly looking at the ceiling.

For the old case back then, the task force first searched for the source of the corpse from the missing report. After a few days of no results, they intensified the search. Two days later, a group of teachers and students from a certain business school came to identify the corpse.
After confirmation by those teachers and students, the police finally found out the identity of the deceased. The deceased was named Xi Ruxiang. He was only 22 years old when he was killed. He was a third-year student at a business school in the neighboring district.

Because it was a junior college, she had to go out for an internship in the last year. Back then, Xi Ruxiang found a job as an accountant in a private company in the urban area, and went back to school from time to time to find friends for dinner or something.

Two weeks before confirming her identity, Xi Ruxiang made an appointment for a dinner with her roommates, but when the appointed time came, Xi Ruxiang did not attend the appointment.

In that era, mobile phones were still a luxury, and communication between people basically depended on public phones. Xi Ruxiang didn't show up for the appointment that day, and her roommates at the time thought she was busy, so they didn't care at first.

Xi Ruxiang's roommates didn't realize something was wrong until around the time of the incident. Xi Ruxiang hadn't returned to school for more than half a month. This was simply too abnormal for Xi Ruxiang who had no friends outside.

So Xi Ruxiang's friends and roommates went to the place where Xi Ruxiang worked, but the leader inside also said that Xi Ruxiang hadn't come to work for a long time. The leader thought that Xi Ruxiang had just graduated and couldn't stand the working environment, so she went back to school silently.

At this time, Xi Ruxiang's roommates really panicked. They thought that something unexpected happened to Xi Ruxiang, and they didn't have time to tell them.

But they never expected that when they saw this roommate again, he had already passed away tragically.

After the Xi Ruxiang case happened, the police carried out a carpet-like investigation within a three-kilometer radius of the body dumping site, Xi Ruxiang's work place, and her school, and investigated thousands of residential buildings and nearly a thousand suspects.

It took nearly three months to investigate the business school alone, but all the efforts did not bring the truth to the case.

In the end, the task force was disbanded and the case was shelved. It is only known that the last place Xi Ruxiang appeared was her staff dormitory. After she cleaned up her clothes and luggage, she never appeared alive in front of the world.

Over the years, although sporadic clues have appeared occasionally, they have not stood up to scrutiny, and the case has not been reopened.

So, with the occurrence of the corpse dismemberment case now, can the case of that year be brought up again?

Personally, Xiao Ran feels that the chances of using the current case to deduce the facts of that year's case are slim.

However, since the current case is imitating the case of the past, from this point of view, could the victim of this case also be a student at school?
After all, judging from the murderer's series of ideas, he just wanted the police to believe that the two cases were related. If so, the identities of the two victims had something in common, so it was very likely.

……

Early the next morning, all members of the special case team took action immediately. The first team and the second team went to the two corpse disposal sites on Dayu Road and Changqiao Road, and continued to visit and investigate the surrounding residents.

The remaining members of the third team contacted each sub-bureau to count whether there were any missing persons in the last three days.

"I think we should contact the college campuses again."

Xiao Ran explained his thoughts to He Xiaoli, "The daily life of college students is extremely irregular. The first two days were weekends, and it is normal not to see anyone in the dormitory for a few days. If you don't remind me, the friends around the victim will often be very irregular. It’s hard to detect abnormalities in the first place.”

"You're right."

He Xiaoli nodded, and then asked the sub-bureaus of each district to pay attention to whether there were any abnormal disappearances or lost contact in the campuses of each university.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a message came from the Chengdong District Bureau that a student of a graduate school affiliated with a certain Finance and Economics College within its jurisdiction had not shown up in the college today.

His classmate and tutor kept calling to shut down the phone, but they couldn't get in touch. After learning that someone had been killed in the city, the student tutor reported the news to the nearby police station.

When they saw the photos of the students from the Chengdong Sub-bureau, the hearts of the three teams jumped wildly.

Although the face of the victim had changed drastically after his death, everyone could still conclude that this graduate student was the victim they discovered.

Seeing the girl smiling shyly in the photo, Xiao Ran gritted his teeth, and it was as he expected.

However, the place where the body was dumped was nearly 20 kilometers away from the School of Finance and Economics.

Such a long distance, how did the murderer bring this girl here?
