Aotu City International Airport Time 13:17

"Flight GB9317 from London to this station has arrived at this station. To welcome passengers, please go to Exit 98 to welcome them. Thank you."

"Mr. Jack Boll, Mr. Jack Boll, your flight will take off soon, please go to gate 31 to board the plane quickly, thank you."

"Dear passengers, we regret to inform you that the flight CN1239 you took is from Aotu International Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Due to the impact of air traffic control, the departure time is to be determined. Thank you."

Inside the airport, the sounds of the bustling people and the notification announcement mixed together, making it a bit extraordinarily noisy.Palos was sitting on a chair outside Starbucks in the airport, holding a cup of extra-strong latte, looking at his phone and scrolling through Weibo.An hour ago, he had nothing to do this month so that he and his team members were fighting Rainbow Six's underworld crime team and was pulled out by Thunder Lion.Then before he could react, he was told to pick up Camille's task and handed it over to him, and then Leishi went back to his serious crime team to hold the next case analysis meeting.

Boss Leishi, I didn't even take a few heads and you dragged me out to do coolies, it's so uninteresting.

Palos thought sullenly, and then took a deep sip of coffee.

Speaking of it, I haven't seen Camille for a long time, maybe ten years...

Palos recalled that he, Paley, Lei Shi and Camille, in fact, the four of them had known each other since they were young. I have contacted, because of family reasons, I dropped out of junior and senior high schools and was admitted to the police academy by self-study, while Paley went to other cities in junior high school, and did not get admitted to the bump city until university. police academy.Then after arriving at the police academy, the three who hit it off immediately became bad friends, and the relationship has been good until now.

When he was a child, Camille was a child who always followed behind his brother.Unlike other children, he neither cried nor fussed. In comparison, his calmness was comparable to that of an adult at that time.And I have never seen him since I graduated from primary school, Palos thought, when I was in the police academy, I would see Leishi call Camille from time to time to ask him about his situation in the United States. At that time, he was sent to Boston by the Thunder Lion boss.

As for the reason...

Rich people have a lot of right and wrong. Anyway, listening to the boss of Leishi is also because of family problems, but ah... asking this kind of question is to make trouble for yourself.

It should be here soon, right?

I remember that flight from Boston landed 15 minutes ago, supposed to claim luggage or something?

Palos stared at the baggage claim exit, scanning the crowd carefully, and soon he saw a bright red scarf and a green baseball cap.

No change, him.

Camille's appearance is more mature than what he remembers. Although he is not as tall as Leishi, he is not short.Blue jeans, a black jacket and white underwear, a big red scarf, a green baseball cap, a reddish-brown backpack on his back and a green trolley case in his hand make people feel that this is not a Boston flyer just now. The professor of criminal psychology who came here is more like a college student who came to travel.

Palos would not stand at the door with a sign with a huge name on it like those people who greeted the passengers. He drank the last piece of coffee, and then went straight to Camille.

Camille felt that the plane was too bumpy and the trip was too rushed.

From when I applied to the principal for my three-month vacation at [-] o'clock last night, to arranging the next courseware and handouts to other teachers, and finally writing the teaching summary, it took him more than a week. Hours, and it seems that the nearest flight to Outong City is at two o'clock in the morning, and the second closest flight will be at four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.It is estimated that if I choose the second trip, my brother would have been cold, and the heat can't be warmed up.

In desperation, Camille could only go back to pack her luggage and book a hotel by the way, then took her clothes and laptop and rushed to the airport.

But one thing was lucky, because Camille happened to be a member of this airline, so they helped him upgrade to the first class for free, and there were not many people on that flight, so he was the only passenger in the first class.

He drank the orange juice brought by the stewardess, and used the computer to check the case through the in-flight WIFI.

According to the current information from the media, they only know about the case in the park.The detailed description of the case and the details of the scene made Camille guess that they should have interviewed the first discoverer.

Split in half, disfigured, naked...

Just like Elizabeth Ann Short's death, someone really imitated the Black Dahlia case in Bump City.

Camille mused, then took a sip of the cheesecake from the plane meal.Because of the long distance and the continuous turbulence of the plane due to the influence of airflow, Camille did not choose to continue to check, but asked the flight attendant for a pillow, an eye mask and a blanket and slept until the plane was about to land and the flight attendant woke him up. just woke up.

At the airport, he looked at the crowd and thought about a question.

Why did you choose this place as your hunting ground...

He hadn't been back to Bump City for more than ten years, and it was his former home, but he didn't miss it at all.When I was 13 years old, my eldest brother used his trust funds to send me abroad, and then hired an old lady there to take care of my daily life.In this way, except for the holidays when he would talk to his eldest brother on the phone, he stayed in Boston at other times. "They"... were the last thing Camille wanted to see.

"Camille."

A cry brought him back to reality, and he watched a man with white hair like a mop head waved at him.It quickly occurred to his mind that he was one of his elder brother's bad friends when he was in the police academy, and he seemed to be an alumnus of his elementary school.The name is... Palos.

"Palos, long time no see."

"Wow, you still remember me, it's been almost ten years since elementary school."

The two hugged each other.

"Actually, I don't remember clearly what happened in elementary school. But when my eldest brother went to the police academy, my eldest brother sent me a group photo of you, so I still have an impression."

"Boss Leishi even sent you a photo. If I had known earlier, I should have posted the picture at that time."

"Are you also working at the Bump City Police Station now?"

"Well, I'm the leader of the underworld crime team. Well, what did the car say that the boss of Leishi is still waiting for you at the police station."

Speaking of which, Palos led Camille through the crowded crowd and came to the underground parking lot.Palos opened the trunk of his Chevrolet and asked Camille to put his luggage and backpack in.

"We will drive to the hotel first. I have reserved a room and need to check-in."

"Ah, you didn't live with Boss Leishi?"

Then watch my elder brother and brother An release flash bombs?Forget it, I have to protect my eyes.

Seeing Camille's darkened face, Palos laughed.

"So you know about An Mixiu's existence?"

"How could I not know, my elder brother would send me photos of him and Brother An from time to time, and I even talked to Brother An on the phone a few times."

"Have you met?"

"No, we haven't met formally."

"That might be a good opportunity."

Palos smiled and sat in the driver's seat, and Camille opened the rear door and sat in the back seat.

"By the way, the documents on the back seat are the preliminary materials of the three 'Red Dahlia' cases. Take a look."

"How much do you know, Palos?"

"Basically, everyone in the police station knows the general situation, but the detailed details should only be understood by Boss Leishi and An Mixiu, as well as Director Daniel and the forensic doctors."

"Forensic doctors? How many forensic doctors?"

"Two, Amy and Abby, they are the forensics in charge."

How much are girls working as forensic doctors now?There are still two female forensic doctors in the Bump City Police Department?After Camille heard the name, she thought about it.

"Anyway, why don't you read the preliminary report first? Which hotel did you book?"

"Four Seasons Hotel in Bump City."

"It's a bit far, but it should have missed the peak period."

Saying that, Palos started the car, while Camille read the report in the back seat.

In the case of dumping corpses in the park, the body was found by the masses in the Huxin Pavilion in the Aotu City Center Park at 6:31 yesterday. The deceased was about 20 years old. He was naked when he died. His body was divided into two and that was the main cause of death. The murder weapon is suspected to be a chainsaw, and it is a large jigsaw.The two eyeballs are still missing, the fingerprints have been corroded by sulfuric acid and no valid fingerprints can be taken, and all the teeth have been pulled out, so the dental records cannot be found.And these are all post-mortem traumas.Because the scene of the crime was a scenic spot, people from the trace department could not collect valid DNA, fingerprints, and traces. The only thing they could find was the red dahlia. The details could only be obtained after a second dissection. The forensic office and the traces The investigation department is also trying to restore the face of the deceased to find out the identity of the deceased.

In the case of the fire scene, at 6:29 yesterday, the thirteenth building of the Yunwu Community called the fire alarm. After the fire was extinguished, Zitang Huan, the head of the arson crime team of the police station, found the bathroom where the corpse was hidden, and then began to investigate.There is no monitoring equipment in the community except the gate, and the clues on the scene were all destroyed by the fire.Unable to collect any valuable clues.The deceased was in the bathtub when he was found. He was about 30 years old. The cause of death was poisoning. He was injected with a special mixture of white phosphorus and lime. herself.The time of death was more than three days. Due to the decomposition of the body, the facial restoration work is still in progress.Likewise, a red dahlia was found in the bathroom.

In the case of the department store, at 8:20 yesterday, the anti-narcotics team in the police station discovered the body when it was seizing drugs.The time of death did not exceed 12 hours, and the cause of death was drowning after pulmonary hemorrhage caused by the ax on the back.The murder weapon was determined to be the safety ax lost in the underground parking lot. The only person whose identity is known to the deceased is Sarah Besson, a professional photographer who was invited by the Bump City Art Museum. The investigation came to nothing.The on-site investigation is also very difficult. At the same time, the monitoring equipment of the department store was hacked at eleven o'clock the night before yesterday, and the system was not logged out until three o'clock, which gave enough blank windows for anyone to sneak into the department store. .In her hand, holds a red dahlia.The forensic report was written in great detail, and the font was beautiful. It was true that this kind of scene was a bit difficult for girls... Looking at Emy's signature, he had a good impression of this "female forensic doctor" whom he had never seen before. .

After looking at the three reports, Camille opened the fourth folder in the back seat.

A copy of the provocative letter.

The provocative tone, followed by happy text expressions, and hacking techniques that can't be detected by the department-level network information security system.

This guy is interesting...

...Strange...

After reading the dossier, Camille felt strange at first.

These cases... don't fit the characteristics of a person killing someone at all, or... it wasn't a person killing at all?

The criminal signatures and criminal methods expressed at the crime scene are unique to each person, and there are people who constantly change their criminal methods by constantly exploring the criminal methods that suit them.But...

What is presented here is exactly three different people killing people?

The first case was brutal and cold-blooded, and he completely imitated Elizabeth Ann Short's death method and dealt with the scene cleanly, leaving no fingerprints or dental records to the police.This is what an experienced murderer did. After finishing all the work that should be done in a hurry, he threw the body into the most lively environment for everyone to watch and admire. He perfectly imitated the black The Dahlia case and he has the confidence and ability to ensure that the police will not catch him.

The second case was the same as what the elder brother said, showing a kind of ambivalence. After killing a person twice, he removed the door of the bathroom and covered it with bricks, and then set a torch to attract people. ?This is neither common sense nor logical.Either the murderer was a patient with a dual personality, or that is to say, there were three people who murdered, hid the corpse, and set fire?Or it can be reduced to two people, but the same combination will also cause great contradictions.Moreover, the murderer should have some medical knowledge and architectural knowledge, but what kind of person can be involved in both fields...

The third case was a complete novice homicide, and more like a female homicide.When a man kills a man, on the premise that the victim is a woman, he will not rashly choose such an item as an axe, because they will feel that they have lost the dignity of a man, so they will choose a dagger or a hammer that is held in one hand. weapons, but women are different. In most cases, they choose powerful weapons such as guns or large weapons when killing people.And here, here is more like a sneak attack than a frontal kill.After the death of the deceased, the murderer chose to put the deceased in the closet in a panic. If there is no anti-drug operation, people who look at the furniture will find the body sooner or later.And for such a long time, the murderer did not choose to erase the identity information of the deceased or something like that.It's more like she killed someone, hid the body, and left quickly after putting dahlias.

The first one shows the murderer's character is proud and sophisticated, the second one shows the murderer's character is contradictory, and the third one shows more fear and novice.

It is impossible for a person to show such a situation even in the path of exploring his own criminal methods.

But... if so...

Those same red dahlias also became a point of contradiction.

Three murders, three killers?Three identical dahlias?

This doesn't fit any basic Criminal Minds test, nor does it fit basic circumstances.And this provocative letter...

It can be seen from the letter that this person is a cynical and confident existence.Hackers are highly skilled, inhuman but do things flawlessly.He is very similar to the crime profile of the first case, but he does not match the profile of the second and third crimes.

He's playing a big game and wants to get everyone into his game.Camille thinks...

Evil Eight

Evil Eight?

The name should have other meanings.And he said there were three corpses, so it should be true.Now the workload of Big Brother and Brother An is much greater. I have to tell them that this case is likely to be a multi-person crime when I arrive at the police station.Of course, you can also tell them that this case may be committed by a murderer with seven personalities.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped steadily in front of the hotel.

"We've arrived, you go to Check-in and leave your luggage at the hotel, and then we're going straight to the police station."

"Thanks Palos."

"You're welcome, I'll find a place to park first."

After sending Camille off, Palos went to find a place to park under the guidance of the doorman, while Camille went to the front desk to check in.

"Hi, I'm Camille. A room on the executive floor."

"Okay, please show your identity information, and I will help you check in."

---

Camille didn't notice that there was a person sitting on the sofa in the distance.

The man held the newspaper to block most of his upper body, and he watched Camille's back through the hole in the newspaper.And the screen of his mobile phone on his lap displayed Camille's information.

Another new chess piece has joined the chess game.

That's how interesting the game is.

Let's see

Which side will be general first?
