Chapter 430: Chapter 252: Autopsy, Clues, Another Hint from the Murderer (6000 Words Spliced Together, Extra Chapters 3 & 4 for Monthly Pass)_4
"The materials that could be used were few!
The murderer must have also used a strap to fix things onto the body of the deceased.
Let me think...
I seem to have seen this type of material before!"
The elder autopsy officer, a black man, fell into contemplation.
The advantage of being older is having seen more and knowing wider.
..
Hearing this, Brian agreed with the elder autopsy officer’s deduction in his heart.
The other’s judgment was consistent with his own guess.
It also matched with the symptoms of prickly heat.
The strap was tied at the position of the female victim’s chest, causing her bra to cling tightly to her skin together with the secretion of sweat and always being covered; the skin of the female victim might have been particularly sensitive, which would explain the occurrence of prickly heat.
This was the most suitable explanation.
The only uncertainty for Brian was the traces of tape used by the murderer; he wasn’t very familiar with that aspect.
Crime scene investigation requires not only observation but also experience.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t know how to start even with the clues right in front of you.
In this aspect, Brian fell short.
He still needed experience from handling cases.
...
The elder autopsy officer was getting old, and his memory wasn’t very good.
While he went back to look through the files, Brian continued to inspect those pieces of fabric stuffed in the victim’s mouth.
The material of these fabrics was very common, just the usual kitchen rags that could be bought in bulk at any supermarket.
These rags were soaked with the secretion of saliva from the deceased and emitted an unpleasant odor.
Looking further.
Brian didn’t find any special clues on these rags.
But he wasn’t impatient.
Solving a case was inherently a tedious process of discovery and verification, requiring patience.
He was almost at the end.
Suddenly.
Brian’s hand paused.
He saw faint blue lines appearing on the rag he was holding.
This piece of rag was stuffed in the mouth of one of the three bodies he had marked.
Green, standing nearby, widened his eyes.
He hurriedly started examining the rest of the fabric.
Next.
Green also discovered rags with blue lines stuffed in the mouths of the other two children.
The pieces of fabric taken from the mouths of other people didn’t have these marks.
"What do these lines mean?"
Green felt his intelligence was insufficient.
This case was more special than any he had encountered or heard of before.
Brian shrugged, "Clues, you can also understand them as the murderer’s declaration of crime. If I’m not mistaken, this is probably his way of telling us his next target."
Hearing this, Green was taken aback, "Is the murderer so arrogant?"
"The murderer is just that arrogant."
Brian examined the three rags together and said with a smile:
"From the fact that he deliberately arranged the bodies and used the phenomenon of light to form a crime declaration, it’s clear that the murderer is intelligent and confident.
The murderer is proud.
His growing environment must have included praise and admiration, having shown excellent learning ability from a young age.
Such a person, once faced with obstacles or setbacks, becomes extreme.
Like now.
He has moved from confidence to arrogance, believing that even if he places the clues in front of us, we won’t be able to decrypt them before he commits another crime.
He must be enjoying this process.
Imagine.
By the time he commits another crime, and we see the new crime scene and these lines, only then understanding their meaning, wouldn’t that be frustrating?"
Green nodded, "A cat played by a mouse would definitely feel frustrated."
"Yes, that’s exactly what he wants to do."
Brian’s tone was definite, "He must have suffered some kind of misfortune recently and is attempting to regain his former confidence through us."
Playing psychological games, huh?
Sorry.
Despite only briefly reading a few books on psychology, Brian, who had faced multiple crimes, could easily immerse himself into the perpetrator’s criminal psyche.
Looking at the rag with blue lines, a faint smile appeared on Brian’s lips.
He already knew what those lines meant!
The murderer was too arrogant!
