Liang Gang looked around with a serious expression.
Liang Gang looked around.”” The 415 Livestream Murder Case and the Rented House Murder Case last night, the murderer’s modus operand! is shockingly similar.”
“After consulting the higher-ups, the two cases are now officially handled together.”
” Now, report your situation.”
Wang Jian glanced at Ren Hongfeng and leaned forward. “My team is in charge of investigating Tan Xiaowen’s residence. Let’s talk about the situation here first.”
” The deceased, Tan Xiaowen, has a simple family background. Her parents were farmers in the town. She was honest and had no grudges with the villagers.”
” Therefore, the possibility of a vendetta caused by the parents is basically ruled out.”
” Tan Xiaowen used to be a WeChat merchant. She sold some cosmetics or beauty injections similar to those made with sulfuric acid. She started being a streamer a year ago.”
Chen Yan already knew about this, but he had a doubt.” I’ve seen the live broadcast of Tan Xiaowen’s death.”
” At that time, she shouted for help. Her neighbors should have heard her. Why didn’t they respond?”
Wang Jian looked at Chen Yan and said,”” We’ve already interviewed Tan Xiaowen’s neighbors. According to them, Tan Xiaowen’s family has heard similar cries for help before.”
“They called the police at that time. We also checked the police records. The result was that Tan Xiaowen was performing with the top brother of the list. She was fined 2000 yuan…”
Chen Yan nodded helplessly.
Next was naturally the story of the wolf.
When he really called for help, no one came to save him.
As for why the deceased did not make a sound when the facial tissue was removed, Chen Yan knew.
The murderer seemed to be familiar with the structure of the human body.
Tan Xiaowen’s and Gao Meimei’s corpses had knife wounds on their necks and vocal cords.
When the murderer committed the crime, he cut off the victims ‘vocal cords, causing them to be unable to speak and could only endure the pain.
The neck was the first, which was also the cause of death due to excessive blood loss.
” The second victim, Gao Meimei,” Ren Hongfeng reported.” She was a receptionist at a beauty salon.”
” We’ve contacted her roommate. She’s on a business trip and will return to Pan City tomorrow…”
Each team completed the progress report of the case.
“Next, Deputy Team Leader Chen Yan, please plan the next step of the case.”
Chen Yan stood up and walked to the case analysis board. “”First of all, according to the murderer’s method of committing the crime, combined with the fact that no property was lost at the two crime scenes, and the preliminary investigation, we can conclude that this is a revenge murder case.”
Liang Gang and the others nodded.
This was basically confirmed.
The belongings of the two victims at the scene were not lost. The murderer’s methods were cruel and it was obviously a revenge murder.
When the deceased was conscious, he used a scalpel to remove the skin on the lower face.
During the process, he even used alcohol to stimulate the victim to prevent him from fainting.
In addition, the victim’s face was destroyed by concentrated sulfuric acid. The intense pain caused the victim to scratch the floor tiles, exposing his finger bones.
It could be seen that he was extremely vengeful.
” First, identify the traces of the weapon as soon as possible.”
Ren Hongfeng nodded. If the murderer left traces on the weapon, the speed of the case would be greatly accelerated.
” Second, check all the surveillance footage in front of Tan Xiaowen’s house, especially the courier and delivery boy. Try to find the person who tampered with the video.”
If they could find this person, the possibility of him being the murderer was very high.
Even if he wasn’t the murderer, he could still find some clues.
” Third, check Tan Xiaowen’s cell phone immediately. Also, check Gao Meimei’s WeChat records. Check all the people who had sex with Tan Xiaowen and Gao Meimei in the past six months.”
Chen Yan paused and looked at the case analysis panel.”The murderer is extremely cautious.”
” This person knows Tan Xiaowen and Gao Meimei’s schedule like the back of his hand. If he wants to do this, he might not be able to do it just by observing and following them.”
” So, it’s very likely that the murderer had direct contact with the two victims.”
” Lastly, investigate if the two victims had any life or work interactions…”
There must be some kind of internal connection hidden under the surface of the serial murders.
And this connection was very likely to reveal the murderer’s motive and even predict the murderer’s next move.
Because Chen Yan had a hunch that the other party was likely to commit another crime!
The second serial case had just happened. Although it was already eight o’clock in the evening, this was the best time to advance the case.
The task force was like a machine at full capacity. They began their work according to Chen Yan’s deployment.
The first feedback was the result of the identification of the traces on the weapon.
It was a pity.
The two weapons were ordinary scalpels. There was nothing special about them, and there were no fingerprints or other traces left on them.
Only a small amount of blood that belonged to the victim was left behind, proving that the murderer had used these two scalpels to cut off the skin on the victim’s face.
The clue to the murder weapon was broken.
However, Chen Yan did not care too much. It was expected that he did not find any clues.
“Team Leader Chen, we’ve checked the footage from Tan Xiaowen’s house,” Wang Xuan reported at nine o’clock.
Chen Yan looked at Wang Xuan’s slightly disappointed eyes. “”You didn’t find anything?”
Wang Xuan shook his head.” The surveillance video of the neighborhood can only be kept for three days. The surveillance video is covered in a loop.” “Although we copied the video recording at that time, we didn’t find any useful clues.”
Chen Yan frowned slightly.
Chen Yan, who had obtained the computer programming specialization skill from the system, knew that it was not easy to delete the video. It was very difficult to recover it.
Especially after so many days, to recover…
Difficult!
However, from this point of view, the murderer should be very familiar with the video surveillance in this neighborhood.
That was why he dared to paste photos on the surveillance cameras.
Wait a minute!
Since the other party was so familiar with the surveillance cameras here, could it be possible that he had worked as a security guard here before?
Chen Yan’s pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly looked at Wang Xuan.” Have the surveillance cameras in Tan Xiaowen’s rental area been repaired recently? Or have the staff resigned? ”
It was not impossible for the murderer to hire a security guard before the crime.
However, Wang Xuan shook his head after listening.” I’ve seen the security guards in the district’s surveillance room. There are a total of three people working in shifts. They are all old employees who have worked for more than three years.”
” Video maintenance is once a year. This year’s maintenance has not started yet…”
Chen Yan’s eyes focused.
The video trail was basically cut off again.
As for Gao Meimei’s rented apartment in Jiaheyuan Estate on Haifeng Road, there were no surveillance cameras in the estate at all.
However, Chen Yan had already asked people to investigate. Some residents had installed surveillance cameras in their homes, so they might be able to find something.
The other work was progressing one after another, and the night passed quietly.
Chen Yan stayed up all night.
Standing in front of the case analysis board, he frowned and pondered.
The clues about the murder weapon had been cut off, and the video at Tan Xiaowen’s door did not provide any valuable clues.
” Team Leader Chen,” Ren Hongfeng said excitedly at nine in the morning..” There’s a major discovery in Gao Meimei’s rented apartment!”
