149. Common ground
When the murderer abandoned the victim's head and other parts in Changqiao Park, he wrapped it in a bed sheet and threw it into the depths of the park's woods, and then covered it with fallen leaves.
If a group of students had not been to play in the forest and found the bed sheet out of curiosity, the police would not have found all the corpse throwing points so quickly.
This time, the murderer threw the body in Changqiao Park, using a travel bag or out of the woods.
If the murderer in the two cases is the same person, the person threw the body with a bed sheet 15 years ago, and when he got older 15 years later, he would use a travel bag very carefully? There is no reason.
The most important thing is that judging from the fact that the corpses were found the next morning, in these two cases, the murderers should have thrown the corpses at night.
In the middle of the night, it was raining alone, and ordinary people were a little scared when walking on the street, let alone drilling deep into the dense forest in the middle of the night?
But the murderer of that year probably crawled into the deep forest in the middle of the night and left his body.
Therefore, this time the murderer threw the corpse outside the woods, there might be only one: he was afraid and dared not get into the woods.
This is a very normal phenomenon. Even if a person is extremely vicious, there will be something deep in his heart that makes him afraid.
Humans' fear of dark forests comes from ancient genes.
What’s strange is that if these two cases were the same person, why did he dare to drill deep into the dense forest fifteen years ago, but he didn’t dare to do it fifteen years later?
It can be seen from this that Lei Team’s judgment is correct.
The murderer of this corpse dismemberment case is basically imitating the case of that year!
Moreover, a case of throwing a corpse that is similar in shape but not in spirit cannot be the perfect crime of the murderer commemorating that year.
If this case is an imitation, the perpetrator obviously does not know the details of the case that year, otherwise he would not have wanted to trap the old case of that year so bluntly.
Therefore, the murderer should have only one purpose: he wanted to mislead the police and link the case with the case of that year to clear away the suspicion.
However, he was backfiring. He did not understand the details of the case back then and only relied on the route to copy it, which allowed the police to eliminate 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.
However, from the characteristics he knew little about the details of the old case, it was inferred that when the old case happened, the murderer should have been young this time, but he just vaguely or roughly remembered the characteristics of the old case, so he had this specious imitation.
From this, Xiao Ran inferred that the murderer should be a few years older than him, about twenty-five years old, which is also in line with the murderer's height characteristics.
Close the files in his hand, Xiao Ran lay on the small shop and looked quietly at the ceiling.
In the old case that year, the task force initially searched for the source of the corpse from the missing report. After several days of success, it increased its search efforts. Two days later, a teacher and student from a certain business school came to recognize the corpse.
After confirmation by the teachers and students, the police then found out the identity of the deceased. The deceased was named Xi Ruxiang. He was only 22 years old when he was killed and was a junior student at a business college in Lin District.
Because it was a college and college, he had to go out for an internship in the last year. At that time, Xi Ruxiang found an accounting job in a private enterprise in the city and went back to school from time to time to find friends to have dinner.
Two weeks before confirming his identity, Xi Ruxiang made an appointment with a roommate to have a dinner together, but at the agreed time, Xi Ruxiang did not go to the appointment.
In that era, mobile phones were still a luxury, and the connection between people basically depends on public telephones. Xi Ruxiang did not go to the appointment that day. At that time, the roommates thought she had something to do, and didn't care at first.
It was not until the time of the incident that Xi Ruxiang's roommates realized something was wrong. Xi Ruxiang had not returned to school for more than half a month. This was simply abnormal for Xi Ruxiang, who had no friends outside.
So Xi Ruxiang's friends and roommates arrived at Xi Ruxiang's workplace. As a result, the leaders inside also said that Xi Ruxiang hadn't come to work for a long time. The leaders thought that Xi Ruxiang had just graduated and could not stand the working environment, so they returned to school without a word.
At this time, Xi Ruxiang's roommates were really panicked. They thought Xi Ruxiang had encountered something unexpected, so they didn't have time to tell them.
But unexpectedly, when they saw this roommate again, he had already passed away tragically.
After the Xi Ruxiang case, the police conducted a carpet-style investigation at the scene where Xi Ruxiang worked, and around his school, within three kilometers of each, and investigated thousands of houses and nearly a thousand suspects.
The School of Business alone has been investigated for nearly three months, but the efforts have not brought the truth to the case.
In the end, the task force was disbanded and the case was shelved. Only know that Xi Ruxiang's last appearance was in her employee dormitory. After she cleaned up her clothes and luggage, she never appeared in front of the world alive.
Over the years, although occasionally sporadic clues have appeared, many of them cannot stand scrutiny, and the case has not been restarted.
So, can the case of this dismemberment be brought up again?
Xiao Ran personally feels that the probability of scrutinizing the case from the current case is slim.
However, since the current case is imitating the case of that year, in this way, will the victim of this case also be a student in school?
After all, judging from the murderer's series of ideas, he wanted the police to think that the two cases were related. If so, it would be very likely that the identities of the two victims had similarities.
...
Early the next morning, all members of the task force took action immediately, and teams one and two went to two corpse dumping sites on Dayu Road and Changqiao Road, and continued to visit and investigate the residents around them.
The remaining personnel of the three teams contacted each branch to count whether there were any missing people in the past three days.
"I think I should contact each university campus again."
Xiao Ran explained his thoughts to He Xiaoli, "Now the daily life of college students is extremely irregular. The previous two days were weekends, and it was normal not to see anyone in the dormitory for a few days. If you don't remind me, it is often difficult for friends around the victim to notice the abnormality as soon as possible."
"You're right."
He Xiaoli nodded and immediately asked the branches of each district to pay attention to whether any persons in each university campus were abnormally missing or lost contact.
At around 4 pm, a message came from the Chengdong District Branch that a student from a graduate school under the jurisdiction of a college of finance and economics within its jurisdiction has not appeared in the college today.
His classmate and his tutor kept reminding him to turn off the phone and could not contact him. After learning that someone in the city was killed, the student tutor reported the news to the nearby police station.
When they saw the photos of students coming from Chengdong Branch, the three teams were beating wildly.
Although the victim's face had changed drastically after his death, everyone could still conclude that this graduate student was the victim they discovered.
Looking at the girl smiling shyly in the photo, Xiao Ran gritted her teeth, and it was as expected.
However, the place where the body was thrown is nearly 20 kilometers away from this college of finance and economics.
