Chapter 116 Ghost
After the training was over, Guan Hongji handed over another file.

"?"

"Aren't you curious about the case you encountered back then?"

Could it be?
Min Xue took it over and looked carefully. It was really the murder and mutilation case that imitated "White Night Chase" when he was a film policeman, that is, the "9" case.

At that time, due to the limited position, he could only be on duty outside, and knew little about the inside story.

Min Xue was not inquisitive about this case, but some things were really difficult to inquire about for various reasons, and I don't know why Guan Hongji suddenly thought of showing him.

Abandoning the random thoughts in his mind, Min Xue flipped through the files in his memory.

In the first case, the park dumped the body.

In the second case, the body was dumped on the lawn in front of the bar.

The third case, murder in a bar.
Wait, the third one?Min Xue remembered that the third case was investigated by the three detachments, right?Bao Zimo was still present, why did they merge together?

The first two cases are naturally related. Three people were killed and their bodies were dumped twice. Min Xue was invited to "assist in the investigation" because he was the author of the original work.

It's just that in this third case, wasn't the lead singer of the bar, Wang Ming, killed?This case is also related to the previous two?
Seeing that Guan Hongji didn't mean to let him take away the file, Min learned it, and the two secretly reached a tacit understanding, and neither of them was in a hurry.

With doubts, Min Xue continued to read.

There are hundreds of pages in the file, and the identity, background and social relationship of the deceased are all listed one by one. There are also a lot of evidence materials. Min Xue even found some ideas of Guan Hongji in it to solve the case.

Time passed slowly, and two hours later, Min Xue finished browsing at normal speed and closed the last page.

It can be seen from the archives that every clue found in these three cases has undergone a lot of analysis, research, investigation and tracking.

But without exception, all the clues drew a big cross at the end.

As for the suspect, not to mention his fingerprints and hair, he didn't even leave any obvious traces, and his anti-reconnaissance ability was extremely strong, he was like a "ghost".

Guan Hongji put down the document in his hand, "How about it, what do you think?"

"Serial killer?" Min Xue made an uncertain guess.

The serial killer Min Xue said is a serial killer in the true sense. Its biggest feature is "fixation". The motive, mode and target of killing will not change easily.

This is because the killing behavior of serial killers is to satisfy a fixed ideal goal in mind.

Ordinary people always think that a serial killer must look like a lunatic or a madman, with low moral character, but in fact this may not be the case.

Most of the serial killers have the same appearance as ordinary people, some are even charming, and have noble sentiments or strict moral sense, and there are even some highly educated.

After they are discovered, people around them are often shocked, and there is a feeling of "how can such a person kill someone".

"Oh? Why?" Guan Hongji asked curiously.

When he proposed to try the three cases together, he encountered great resistance. Unexpectedly, Min Xue and his opinions coincided with each other.

Min Xue didn't rush to answer, but quickly went through the three cases again.

Then he said slowly, "From the perspective of the victim's gender, experience, etc., there is no commonality for the time being. From this point of view, it does not fit the characteristics of a serial killer."

"Of course, we can't make a conclusion because they may have something in common, but we didn't find it."

"The reason why I think it's a serial killer is because when I was looking at the file just now, I accidentally noticed that the autopsy report mentioned that the corpse's skin had defects of varying degrees."

"In the first two cases, because the corpses were murdered and dismembered, skin defects were quite normal during the dismemberment process, but the third case"

"The corpse is relatively complete, and it was killed by poison. It is not normal for Wang Ming's arm to be bloody and bloody, which seems to be resistant to injury."

"Although it may be a bit arbitrary to say so, and there is no complete reasoning theory to support it, is it possible that it was done by a serial killer who collects skins as a hobby?"

Whether Min Xue's idea is right or wrong, no one can make a conclusion, perhaps only after the case is solved.

Although Min Xue's idea is a bit wild, with insufficient evidence, and even many of its characteristics are inconsistent with serial killers, it can still be regarded as a direction for detection.

This is the case in criminal cases. Without clues, there is only bold assumptions and careful verification.

The seemingly unreliable inference got Guan Hongji's nod of approval.

In fact, it was the slight flaws revealed in the third case, coupled with some other factors, that made Guan Hongji decide to take the case over and deal with it together.

One dumped the body outside the bar, and the other was killed inside the bar. In the same bar, there were two murders in a short period of time. Is it really such a coincidence?
Guan Hongji always felt that the third case was the breakthrough point of the whole chain of events.

"Has there been no similar cases recently?" Min Xue couldn't help asking.

The reason for asking this is because serial killers generally have a cooling-off period after they kill someone.The so-called cooling-off period refers to the period of time between two murders.

Usually after a serial killer commits a crime, his excitement will reach a peak, and it takes a period of time to calm down, recall and summarize this exciting experience, and improve the method of attack.

The length of this period varies from a few hours to a few months or even years.

The interval between the two murder cases last time was so short, why didn't they act after half a year?

However, Guan Hongji gave a negative answer.

"In the past six months, there have been no similar cases in Shanghai," Guan Hongji said, feeling a little helpless. In this way, it was even more difficult for their speculation to stand up.

"What about the whole country?" Min Xue couldn't help asking.

"It is difficult to investigate. From the third case, it can be seen that the murderer is very cunning, the time and place are random, the modus operandi is diverse, and he is good at disguising scars, leaving almost no evidence of commonality. To prove this, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed. It simply can’t be done in time.”

Min Xue nodded regretfully, not every case would be solved logically, otherwise there would not be so many old cases backlogged.

Thinking of this, Min Xue somewhat understood what Guan Hongji meant by showing him the file. Maybe he intended to provide him with ideas, but the most important thing was not to let him solve the case, but to put pressure on him.

Some time ago, Min Xue solved too many cases that went smoothly. Although there is no sign of drifting yet, it is better to prevent problems before they happen.

Guan Hongji wanted to sound the alarm for Min Xue and let him know that criminal investigation and solving a case is no easy task!

There is also training, not without this intention, it is all to make him sink.
