Profiler: Crime Scene

Seeing Joseph staring at him in a daze, Lu Yuanli said casually, "What's the matter, did you think of anything?"

"Oh..." In order to ease the embarrassment, Joseph could only say: "Gift... I was just thinking about what this word means, and who is the gift for..."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yuanli suddenly raised his hand and interrupted: "Very good Joseph! Your thinking may be right. If you can figure out what the murderer said about the gift and who it was given to, it may be the key to solving the case. !"

Joseph scratched his head and said, "But with just such a word, I really can't think of anything."

Lu Yuanli paused, and said: "Since you have found clues from Professor Gerald's past, then maybe you can think of a way to look up Professor Catherine's life to see if there are any hidden secrets or the like. .Also, check again, there are so many teachers and students present that day, I don't believe it, no one has seen the murderer at all."

"it is good!"

Joseph became serious and said: "I came here with my colleagues today. Our main investigation direction now is the organization and service personnel of the dance that day. The detailed examination results of the forensic doctor have not yet come out, but if there is no accident, it is the A glass of drink poisoned Lady Catherine.

It is easier for these people to get close to the food, and walking around in the venue will not arouse suspicion.With the clue of the patient's family members, the police will re-check all the performers yesterday. "

"very good."

Lu Yuanli nodded and said, "But if the murderer really got in, the identity may not be true. You can check the information of that Paul Bieber, and take the photo so that the students around the professor yesterday can identify it."

"By the way, professor!"

Joseph took a look, and the office buildings of several high-level schools were empty, and no one seemed to pass by.But out of professional sensitivity, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you think Dean Iverson is suspected?"

"I don't think so." Lu Yuanli said: "Because I can't think of any reason for the time being. This person is a vested interest. Although the school's leaders are elected every four years, and this year will start voting again, but, and I haven't heard that Gerrard is going to run for the election. According to the principal, that incident has greatly affected Professor Gerrard's reputation, and he has no further ideas. At present, there is no conflict of interest between the two.

Moreover, the knife on the victim's back was powerful and clean, requiring certain physical strength and technique.Dean Iverson is a few years older than Professor Gerald, which doesn't seem to be easy to do.Also, although he also participated in the event yesterday, he was not in this ballroom most of the time.Even if you can sneak in and kill people when the lights are off, I still noticed something yesterday. "

Joseph wondered, "What?"

"He's not dressed up."

Lu Yuanli said: "No matter how professional a murderer is, he can't be like the martial arts masters in Chinese legends. Even if he kills him with a single blow, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any blood splattered and rubbed on his body. And yesterday's dance party was simply A group of demons danced wildly, and many people made relevant costumes, and painted various dyes, tomato juice, and caviar on their bodies to pretend to be blood.

In this case, the bloodstains on the murderer's body were inconspicuous, and it was not easy to be spotted for a while.But ordinary people's attire, the risk of exposure is much higher.I think the murderer chose this occasion to kill, and he made full consideration.The various costumes at the ball, the setting of the lights-out link, and the chaotic screams of the crowd are all suitable for killing people. They can not only cover up the traces of the killing, the sound of the victim struggling for help, but also facilitate the escape in the chaos. It is impossible not to consider at this point.Therefore, it should not be Mr. Dean. "

Jiao Yang had class in the morning, and when he came back in the evening, Lu Yuanli told him what happened today.

After Jiao Yang listened, he subconsciously bit his nails, looked at Lu Yuanli and said, "Professor, why do you want to kill people at the masquerade party?"

"Is that even a question?"

Lu Yuanli continued his analysis.

"But..." Jiao Yang pondered: "Professor, you see, most of the murders and arson are usually in the dark and windy night, just to ensure privacy. The various situations you analyzed are of course good. But, how to ensure so many People, no one will see him, and if he succeeds smoothly, he will not be stopped by others, and he will escape easily? Also, how can he know in advance that the professor will not be able to make up that night, and he will be recognized at any time? come out?"

Lu Yuanli shrugged and said, "A lot of older professors came here wearing their own clothes yesterday. I heard that Professor Gerald is a serious person, so it's not hard to imagine, right? Besides, it's ten o'clock off." After the light session, everyone will take off their masks, it's just a matter of time."

"But if this is the case, even if the murderer succeeds, he won't have the best time to escape!" Jiao Yang said: "Such a large-scale event is prone to emergencies, and even the organizers of the dance party can't guarantee it. Can you control the overall situation? How can the murderer be sure that there will be no accidents, such as Professor Gerrard and other school leaders sitting alone in a private room in the banquet hall?"

"You mean..." Lu Yuanli frowned and said, "There are his accomplices in the school as internal agents? For example, the murderer in another case?"

"This is also possible." Jiao Yang said: "I think the murderer chooses to kill himself in front of thousands of people, because he has an obvious performance personality. He just wants people to pay attention, so that people can see that he is deliberately promoting something. , and even...not hesitating to be caught after killing someone."

Lu Yuanli pondered: "He thinks that Professor Gerald murdered his father, wants revenge, and wants to reveal the truth publicly? It also makes sense. After this incident happened, after media reports, Professor Gerald not only paid The price of his life, and maybe he will be ruined... Wait a minute, if this is the case, the target of his revenge may not only be Gerald?! And..."

Lu Yuanli immediately called Joseph and asked him to find out where Mr. Bieber's eldest son Luke was and whether he was safe.

Joseph was taken aback, originally he was going to tell Lu Yuanli the good news.

Because Professor Gerald didn't make up a costume, everyone who attended the ball could recognize him. Their colleagues in the school asked the students who stood around him that night one by one, and learned that a man dressed as Erinyes People, showed up around the professor.

Erinyes is the collective name for the three Furies in Greek mythology.Their mission is to hunt down and punish those who commit serious crimes.Wherever the sinner is, they follow him in condemnation, and his conscience is tormented with contrition.Therefore, as long as there is evil in the world, they must exist.

Legend has it that she was conceived after the god Uranus was castrated, and Gaia, the mother of the earth, was conceived by the blood of Uranus splashed on her stomach.So it is an ugly old woman with a tall figure, blood red eyes, snake hair and bat wings, wearing a black robe, blood splattered all over her body, and holding a torch or whip.These settings are all in line with Lu Yuanli's guess.

"Also," Joseph said: "Some of our colleagues browsed some of his social software and found that Paul has a tendency to transvestite. Therefore, among many similar characters, he chose to dress up as the Nemesis, which is very likely!"

Then, the police found out that the identity information of a saxophone actor was false. They obtained Paul Bieber’s identity information for comparison, and asked the students who participated in the activity organization to identify him and confirmed that the performer was Paul Bieber.Police have decided to issue a search warrant for Paul Bieber.

Then, there was some progress on the side of the other deceased. Forensic tests showed that it was arsenic oxide poisoning.

The toxicity of arsenic oxide is very strong. After entering the human body, it destroys certain cellular respiratory enzymes, so that tissue cells cannot obtain oxygen and die.The onset time varies with the dose and the filling degree of the victim's stomach. The fastest time is 15-30 minutes, the slowest time is 4-5 hours, and generally about 1 hour.It only takes 01-02g to be poisoned to death. The dose detected in that cup of drink far exceeds this concentration, which will cause the victim to lose consciousness quickly, followed by respiratory paralysis, and die within an hour.

In other words, Professor Catherine should have been poisoned at the ball, and the murderer was the attendee that night.The focus of the investigation is still service personnel and student organizers, but due to the large number of people, no suspicious persons have been found so far.

However, what is a little embarrassing is that compared to Luke's hard work and progress, Paul has always been like a dude, playing art, he is currently 30 years old, and has no fixed occupation. He is called... a performer.He had already moved out of Mr. Bieber's mansion early in the morning, and the phone number reserved at the hospital was already empty.Moreover, there is no fixed partner, that is to say, no one knows his whereabouts, nor can he be found...

When Joseph heard from Lu Yuanli that Paul might attack his elder brother, he hurriedly sent someone to contact Mr. Bieber's eldest son, Luke.

Unexpectedly, the information feedback was that the police could not get through to Luke's cell phone.After the police found his secretary, they learned that in order to celebrate their wedding anniversary, Luke's family of four went to the Aloha Islands for vacation. The mobile phone was in flight status and could not be contacted for the time being.

Huadu to Aloha is a direct flight, and it takes more than ten hours, and the waiting and disembarkation time is even longer.Now no one can confirm whether Luke's condition is already on the plane, or... he can only wait anxiously for the time when the plane lands.

Joseph has also contacted the control center of the airport, and a special person will connect him. As long as it is confirmed that the plane has landed, the police will contact Luke immediately.

Lu Yuanli patted Jiao Yang's shoulder and said, "Let's go to sleep first, there's nothing to do now except wait. It's the duty of the police to investigate the case and arrest the murderer. It's useless for us to be afraid here. "

"Professor..." Jiao Yang looked at Lu Yuanli and said, "I will misunderstand you if you say that."
