Upon hearing this, all the experts in the conference room fell silent in thought.

To be honest, this was the first time they had encountered such a case. Apart from three thousand pieces of flesh and packed bags and sheets, there were no other clues.

This has caused some difficulty for even experienced experts.

"Director Zhao, please mark all the locations where bodies were dumped. I also have a few questions I need the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau to clarify. In murder and body disposal cases, there's generally a principle of dumping far away and burying close by. If the location of the body is far from the murder scene, it's considered dumping. If it's close, it's more likely that the body was dumped and buried. Let's look at the distance between the dumping sites."

"Secondly, the principle of dismembering the head as far away as possible and disposing of the body as close as possible is crucial. Generally speaking, murderers dismember bodies to conceal their identities, so they dispose of the head as far away as possible. We should pay attention to the distance between the head and the flesh."

"Third, the principle of smaller, closer, and larger, farther. Generally speaking, the fewer body parts there are, the farther away they are from the crime scene, while the more fragmented the body parts are, the closer they are to the crime scene."

"Fourth, the bodies were dumped at multiple locations. Generally speaking, bodies are dumped multiple times at multiple locations. This is also the psychological reason why the murderer wanted to be safe and create difficulties for the police."

Wang Qi, the elder, was the first to speak and question Zhao Jie.

"Mr. Wang, according to our investigation, there are three locations where the bodies were dumped, divided into three groups. The first location is Huaqiao Road, which is also where our sanitation workers found the body parts. The second area is within the Nanquan campus of Handong University. There are four locations in total. Each body bag weighs 8 kilograms."

"The third area, the Shuigang area, is near a park. All three areas are downtown areas, so this news spread so quickly!"

Zhao Jie smiled bitterly. Normally, this kind of case should be kept absolutely confidential. Firstly, they were afraid that it would get out and cause panic, and secondly, they were afraid that some mentally ill people would imitate the crime.

For example, in the Jiangjunshan dismemberment case, the Pingkang County Public Security Bureau kept it strictly confidential, and the outside world had no information about the condition of the body. Unlike their case, the outside world has gone crazy with it!

"Mr. Wang is right. Let me add one more point. Criminologist David Kanter proposed the concentric circle principle: if multiple body dumping sites are connected to form a circle, the center of the circle may be the primary crime scene. This is based on criminal psychology. The Jingzhou Municipal Bureau can try this as an example."

Li Minbai, Mr. Li, spoke.

Everyone was now truly immersed in the case and began to brainstorm.

"Let me also make two points! First, why would this criminal choose Ai Qing, an ordinary country girl? She's just an ordinary girl who just entered Handong University not long ago. She was born ordinary, lives ordinary, and looks ordinary. Although we should be confident even if we are ordinary, I don't think such an inconspicuous girl in the crowd would suddenly have any connection with the murderer. Let's focus on investigating what kind of friends Ai Qing made in Jingzhou City this year and what kind of circles she integrated into."

"Secondly, the murderer was incredibly calm! He might even have obsessive-compulsive disorder! You can see the cuts on the approximately 3,000 pieces of meat and other organs are neatly arranged, with even spacing. The same pattern applies to the limbs as well! This suggests he has a deep understanding of the human body and a special profession, most likely one of the more prestigious, like a doctor in a major hospital or the owner of a medical institution!"

"Well, it doesn't rule out forensic doctors, retired special forces soldiers, and so on."

Captain Zhang She of Changzhou City had a very bold hypothesis! Moreover, he was quite daring to speak out and even to doubt.

Jiang Yuan gave him an admiring look.

The complexity of this case suggests that it may have been committed by someone within the system or a retired soldier who has served in the battlefield. The murderer's psychological quality and knowledge of human anatomy are rare in this era!

It's not like we have Baidu anymore. If you don't understand something, you can just look it up online. Besides, there won't be clear answers online.

Therefore, the murderer must have mastered this knowledge himself and has strong psychological qualities.

"Let me say a few words. You can see the route the murderer took to dispose of the bodies. The areas were quite far apart. If the murderer had so many bags and such conspicuous sheets, he would have been very conspicuous. Therefore, the murderer most likely had a means of transportation!"

"This is somewhat related to Captain Zhang's judgment. The murderer is very likely engaged in a high-end profession and earns a lot of money."

"Secondly, why did the murderer dump the body at Handong University? Handong University has tens of thousands of students, and there are security guards at the entrance. Dumping the body at school would be a huge risk! Why would he take such a risk? Why dump the body in a busy downtown area?"

Xiao Yan looked at everyone with some doubts. This was a question that he couldn't figure out, and he hoped to get answers from everyone.

Several others also frowned.

Yes!

Normally, after killing someone and dismembering their body, they would dispose of it in a less-visited area to avoid detection. However, this murderer did something completely different, disposing of the body on a university campus and in a busy downtown area.

This is totally against common sense!

"There are two possibilities. First, the murderer is a psychopath who wants to provoke the police. Second, he doesn't have the conditions to transport the body out of the city for disposal, so he has to make a big deal out of it so he can fish in troubled waters."

Mr. Cui, who was sitting in the main seat nearby, spoke.

He is the pinnacle of traceology, but he is also not weak in other aspects having handled so many cases. His judgment of the case is better than anyone else at the scene!

"My main research area is traceology, so I can't compare with you in other areas. However, I'll share my views for your reference."

Mr. Cui said with a smile.

"No, no, Mr. Cui, your case-handling thinking and experience are far beyond our reach. I hope you can give us some guidance."

Several experts waved their hands, they couldn't bear such words.

"The meat was cut into 3,000 pieces, along with various other organs. This is a massive undertaking! The killer must have a very secret place to cut the meat, and also had the tools to commit the crime. Therefore, he must have a house, or at least two houses, one of which is definitely more secluded."

"Secondly, a person's blood weighs a lot! Plus, its color is conspicuous, so processing it requires a lot of water! Find out which households in the designated area of ​​the city have seen a significant increase in water usage. But be prepared for no results."

"Thirdly, whether it's the controlled killing of an adult woman or the cutting of thousands of pieces of meat, these aren't things an ordinary person could do. Most people's arms would get sore after cutting anything for a while, yet the murderer completed the entire task within ten days! He's definitely in excellent health! He might not be tall, but he's probably around 170cm tall, not overweight, but quite strong."

"Fourth, the bag the murderer used to dump the body. I saw three different types of bags: a garbage bag, a handbag. Oh, and one had the word 'Gui Ling' written on it. Another was the kind people used in the 1970s and 1980s, and another was the kind young people use today. Third, the bed sheet. Why would the murderer use a bed sheet to wrap the body? He had plenty of garbage bags and handbags. This was superfluous!"

As expected of a big shot among big shots, he directly mentioned more than four points!
