  The two left the institute, and it was almost evening. Although Mr. Chen was scrupulous, he could see that he was very interested in the case. He personally sent it out before leaving, and promised to help them find clues related to the skull helmet.

    Bu Chonghua still had stitches on his left back shoulder, and he could only drive by the disabled Wu Yu. The parking at the entrance of the university was quite messy, and the big car was not easy to fall. Wu Yu's superb technology was used to dump the SUV out. He was about to turn around and received a call from Liao Gang.

    Technical team Wang Tu...Papa Wang loved them again. Not only did he send the victim's body for the third inspection, but he also dug three trucks of rocky grass from the river bank, and wanted to dig out the three trucks of soil. The murderer's DNA invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the attack on Liu Dongcai led by the Song Bureau and Xu Bureau has come to an end. The "Lao Rongzi" defeated the stubbornly and collapsed in a short time. Not only did they confess the thieves gangs that had been rampant in the three provinces, but they also took over the many years of old and large cases. Shaking his arms cleanly.

    However, none of these cases has anything to do with the 502 Skeleton Murder case.

    "I see." The SUV turned around in a beautiful triangle in the sunset. Wu Yu heard Bu Chonghua say from the co-pilot: "There is something new in this case. You may have to find a way to check the city’s religious fanatics. ."

    Liao Gang thought he had heard it wrong: "What, religion?!"

    "Yes." Bu Chonghua told him briefly about his visit to Old Chen: "If this is true, then the murderer may be a solitary person who behaves strangely, but he will confuse the concept of death, reincarnation, classics, etc. The males on the edge usually find it difficult to find likes in real life, and are likely to seek empathy online."

    Liao Gang was a little embarrassed: "This portrait is not easy to find, boss. There are only 13 cities in the country with a population of over 10 million. Jinhai is fortunate to be among them. There are so many otakus on the Internet these days. Nine out of ten out there are like murderers..."

    Bu Chonghua pondered for a moment, and the setting sun passed through the front window of the car, casting a cold shadow on his cheeks.

    "If I'm right," he said slowly, "this man may still have an extraordinary passion for relationships between men and women. If you look up those escorts in the shampoo room, there may be clues."

    Liao Gang led the way, and Wu Yu glanced at it as he drove.

    Bu Chonghua immediately asked: "What?"

    "……It's nothing."

    The SUV was driving forward in the evening rush traffic. Bu Chonghua narrowed his eyes, looked up and down the silent profile around him, and said, "Wu Yu."

    "Yes, step team."

    "You are not a prisoner, and I am not a prison guard. There is no one around now. You don't have to pretend that you seem to fear me. Just ask what you want."

    Wu Yu didn't say a word at first, not knowing what he was weighing, but Bu Chonghua waited for him calmly. Until the police car turned left and merged with the green light, he asked, "Why did you ask Deputy Liao to check the escort girl in the shampoo room?"

    "Experience." Bu Chonghua said, "Cults these days are usually under the guise of legally existing orthodox religions. For example, the doctrines of Catholicism, Taoism, and Tibetan Buddhism are twisted and demonized to engage MLM-style brainwashing worship. Although the methods are refurbished, the criminal purposes are all unified, nothing more than money, female sex, and the desire to dominate. It is for this reason that cult leaders reported in foreign countries cannot do without sex crimes."

    Wu Yu was thoughtful and asked after a while: "So this case is really related to the sacrifice of a cult?"

    The two met briefly, but Bu Chonghua didn't answer, "Stop the car in front."

    The police SUV slowly stopped on the side of the road. Wu Yu was unsure. He followed Bu Chonghua and turned into a restaurant in the alley after a while. The sign was brightly: Chaoshan casserole porridge.

    "Fried liver, fried bean sprouts, braised chicken nuggets, two pots of porridge." Bu Chonghua handed the menu to Wu Yu: "What do you want?"

    Wu Yu lowered his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said vaguely: "I am casual, and there is nothing particularly good about it..."

    "I'll pay."

    "...Just the fish in the tank seems to be fine."

    The two faced each other, Wu Yu's eyes were erratic.

    Bu Chonghua was expressionless, staring at his transparent and bleeding face, and handed the menu to the waiter: "Here is some steamed fish."

    The waiter immediately said "Hey!" and went to the kitchen to place an order.

    It's the point of eating, the shop is very lively, but the serving speed is very fast, the casserole porridge is salty and fragrant, the bean sprouts are fresh and refreshing, and even the fried liver is rich in meaty soup, fat but not greasy. Wu Yu casually took the chopsticks and picked the chopped green onions on the steamed fish to the side of the plate. Out of the corner of his eyes, he observed that the leader had no reaction. Unconsciously, he dug out half of the fish belly and buried it in his own bowl; a few moments saw Bu Chonghua not moving the fish , And quickly dug out the other half of the fish belly.

    Bu Chonghua just didn't see it, tapped the fried liver with his chopsticks, and said, "Let's eat, I'll give you some for blood."

    Wu Yu made a "hmm" on the surface, but Bu Chonghua watched him as he ate and saw that besides the fish, he only picked up the few bean sprouts and did not touch any other dishes.

    "You don't eat offal?"

    "...Not very tasty."

    "What about chicken?"

    Wu Yu lowered his head and said perfunctorily: "It's okay!"

    Bu Chonghua looked at him and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it. He only heard Wu Yu vaguely asking with fish bones in it: "So how to investigate now, is it really related to cult sacrifices?"

    "What do you think?"

    "..." Wu Yu hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, I just feel this... it sounds too mysterious."

    "I also think it's too mysterious." Bu Chonghua paused and said: "Sacrifice is a ritual, and the ritual must include many indispensable elements: objects, sacrifices, seasons, and means. If the 502 murder case If it was a sacrifice, the murderer wore a religious symbol with a high degree of reproduction and a very small popularity-a human head mask; a fifteen-year-old Nian Xiaoping was selected as the sacrifice-a girl; the crime was very extreme in a weather, so it is possible A date with a special meaning-a rainy night. It seems to satisfy all our imaginations about cult sacrifices, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually a crucial element missing."

    "means?"

    "Yes, the means. The killing process was too clean and decisive. Killed with a single stab and left immediately. The killer never showed any emotional connection to the sacrifice ceremony, not even symbolic piety-you remember what Old Chen said. Huh?"

    Old Chen explained to them very clearly just now: "...In primitive worship, the virgin symbolizes purity and detachment from the world. Her human skin, uterus, and leg bones are all materials for making magical artifacts..."

    Wu Yu thoughtfully.

    "The murder process did not reveal the slightest need for the girl’s human skin, reproductive organs, or skull and leg bones, but just stabbed the heart with a stab, and immediately abandoned the corpse; this kind of crude sacrificial method requires wearing a skull helmet. Compared with the strong sense of ritual, it is very contradictory, and there is a more important point."

    Bu Chonghua paused, Wu Yu stopped the chopsticks subconsciously and looked at him, only listening to him softly asking:

    "——How can the murderer be sure that Nian Xiaoping is a virgin?"

    The restaurant was full of people and the dishes came and went. No one noticed that in a corner of this lively lobby, the two of them were facing each other in silence, and a bloody murder case lay before them.

    After a long time, Wu Yu lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks, and gave a short smile: "...I feel that this is a random murder case after you analyze it like this."

    Bu Chonghua said solemnly: "I hope it is not random killing, but the facts of the case have indeed shown the characteristics of random killing."

    Of all types of cases, random killings are the most difficult to solve. Although the reasoning in detective novels is superb and modern criminal investigation technology is changing day by day, in reality, front-line criminal investigations are still boring visits, and the human sea tactics are the biggest magic weapon to solve many cases. If there is no motivation and no reason, there will be a lack of screening criteria and investigation directions, and it will become very difficult to screen clues from the mass of boring information.

    The murderer in the 502nd case has absconded, and now the golden search period has passed. If it is dragged on, will he escape from Jinhai and disappear into the ends of the world?

    Or, after discovering that the police are at a loss, will his confidence swell to commit another crime?

    Wu Yu stared at Bu Chonghua suddenly, and stopped talking.

    "How?" Bu Chonghua asked sensitively, raising his head.

    Probably because of Bu Chonghua’s patience along the way, Wu Yu hesitated for a while, but still put forward his own views on the murderer: "You said he might kill randomly... If Nian Xiaoping is a sacrifice he chose randomly , Is it possible that this is not his first crime?"

    "I think so too." Bu Chonghua said: "But I have investigated similar cases against young girls in the city this year, and more than 30 police cases have been ruled out, and..."

    "You are investigating deliberate injury and attempted robbery, right?"

    "What do you mean?"

    Wu Yu slowly said: "The teenage girl may have a different idea from the police. The murderer had been at a distance from Nian Xiaoping before committing the crime. If he followed the victim in the same way before committing the crime, the little girl might not have thought. He wanted to hurt people. Even if he hit 110, he would not say that someone intended to rob, but would say—"

    Bu Chonghua's expression suddenly lifted.

    Robbery!

    If the murderer did not wear a scary skull mask during the tracking phase, but followed the target with a knife, when a teenage girl found an adult male following her, it would be difficult to think of the other party's sacrifice and murder. Their first reaction was that there was a rogue intention! 999 novel first published www.999xs.com m.999xs.com

    Bu Chonghua took out his cell phone, flipped through the address book, and dialed a call: "Hey, Lao Zhang? Did your command center collect the last month's police record two days ago?"

    Zhang zhi is the person in charge of the alarm center. In the past two days, he has been stepped through the threshold by the small pieces sent by the Nancheng Detachment. Even the office floor has been bald by three inches. Bu Chonghua did not hesitate to greet him, and asked straightforwardly: "How many police records have been made by young women being followed, spied on, or attempted indecent assaults by young women in the city this quarter? Give me a summary and send it to me. The case of Silihe will be used. !"

    "Bu Chonghua, you bastard, I spend all day in this ragged retrieval system! Your big room Liao Gang only patted me yesterday to promise that the case has nothing to do with harassment and indecency!..."

    Wu Yu was drinking porridge, when he heard the word "Dafang" at first, he almost choked on the rice grains.

    "He manages the four deputy directors of their center to call Dafang to Sifang respectively. Don't bother with such low-level jokes. I have to eat quickly, and I have to go back to the city bureau to work overtime." Bu Chonghua hung up the phone and took a chopstick to steam it. Yu drank the last sip of porridge, got up and said, "I'm going to check out."

    Behind him, Wu Yu was about to pick up the fish when his chopsticks froze in midair.

    When Bu Chonghua paid the bill, he was forcibly presented with two packs of mint candy by the proprietress. Before he had time to politely refuse, the phone suddenly rang again. It was the frustrated Director Zhang: "The person named Bu, I tell you, your idea of ​​solving the case is problematic. This year The number of related alarms in the first half of the year......"

    Bu Chonghua's eyebrows were wringing stormy, and he answered the phone in one hand and carried two packs of mints in the other. Just walking towards the dining table, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Yu from a distance, and he paused.

    ——Wu Yu used his chopsticks to pick out the steamed fish he had just clamped, put it in a napkin, wrapped it in a bag and threw it at hand. Then he frowned and caught a piece of fish, but didn't put it in his mouth, only stared at it, and there was a trace of undisguised disgust on his face.

     But he said nothing.

     He pushed the remaining half of the fish, got up and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue.

     At that moment Bu Chonghua suddenly realized where the error he had just noticed came from--

     On this table, he frequently used the braised chicken and fried liver with chopsticks. Wu Yu hadn't moved a chopstick; Wu Yu would change the side of the plate of bean sprouts he had caught, deliberately avoiding the area touched by his chopsticks. .

     Loves and hates are clear and distinct.

     Lao Zhang’s complaint on the phone continues: "...pranks, false alarms, invalid information, virtual numbers, all together, the number of women who were followed by police in the first half of the year..."

     Wu Yu came here, and Bu Chonghua settled his mind: "How much?"

     "Four thousand three hundred and twenty-nine!" Old Zhang was angry: "Find the needle in the haystack, go to you!"
