The forensic office on the second basement floor of the Aotu City Police Station Time 13:30

"Old sister, my hair rope is broken, do you have any spare?"

"Ah, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, the quality I bought this time is too bad."

Amy and Abby spent the whole morning, from six o'clock in the morning until now, without even eating lunch, conducting the second autopsy on the three corpses.And when the two men were suturing the Y-shaped incision made during the autopsy, they only heard a "bang", and before Amy could react, they saw the broken hair rope flying aside , and his stupid hair also fell down in an instant, becoming shoulder-length hair.

At this time, Amy was a little depressed. You must know that there is a rule in the bureau that forensic doctors and other relevant personnel are not allowed to wear shawls. If Director Daniel sees his bonus this month, he will say goodbye.

"Go up and look for Kelly, Montezuma or An Lijie and borrow one."

"Kelly and An Lijie both have shawl hair, and Montezuma just cut her hair into short straight hair last week, so where do you want me to find them for headbands, dear sister!"

"Then you'll have to ask Red. He's a ponytail."

"How did I forget him...Thanks, old lady, I'll be back as soon as I go."

With that said, Amy trotted all the way to the elevator, and at this moment Abby remembered something.

Looks like Reid is still in the game because of the bank robbery last week...

Forget it, let's hope for good luck for Shanzi.

Ding!

Not long after, the sound of the elevator door opening sounded again.Borrowed a hair rope so soon?Just when Abby was wondering, three figures walked to the door of the dissection room.

One is Leishi, the other is An Mixiu, and the other is a strange face.

The person who came was a young woman with blue hair, bright eyes and white teeth, elegant demeanor and famous brands from clothes to high heels.And behind her, followed by a green-skinned robot cat, that cat was still shining brightly, which made people have to pay attention.

"Who is this?"

"Director Abby, let me introduce you. This is the curator of the art gallery and the president of the Bump City Planetary Consortium, Ms. Victoria. She is here to confirm the deceased and take a look at Sarah Besson."

"Hello, I'm sorry you lost a friend."

"She's not that close to me, but I still want to see her."

Abby pulled away the white cloth that covered Sarah Besson's body. After seeing the face of the deceased, the president nodded to Abby, and motioned for her to cover it again.

"Can I have a cigarette?"

"This is a morgue, the smell will..."

"It's okay. My women's cigarettes are cherry-flavored cigarettes from Cuba. They have almost no flavor, and I'm the only one in Bump City."

As she spoke, she took out the cigarettes from her cigarette case, and then the green doraemon quickly took out the lighter from behind and handed it to Victoria.

"What a great cat."

"It is the highest-tech product newly developed by my consortium, an artificial intelligence AI system. It is also very cute, and it can be said to be the role of a big manager."

The president took a deep breath, then looked at the corpse again.

"It's such a pity, she is an outstanding photographer, and her works can sell 400 million yuan for a single picture. This is a loss to the entire photography industry and even the entire art world."

"You just said that you and the deceased are not very close?"

"Yes, she is a loner, and she seldom talks about her own life, but I don't care, as long as she is talented, I want her even if she is blind."

"Miss President, I suggest that we talk about it in the reception room upstairs. What do you think? District Attorney Gray is also waiting for us up there."

"Okay, anyway, I have no problem talking about it here."

An Mixiu nodded to Abby to express his gratitude, and Lei Shi stepped forward to press the switch of the elevator. At this moment, Victoria turned around and asked.

"How did she die? Director Abby?"

"She was hacked to the spine with an ax and then drowned by the blood that filled her lungs."

"It's another pity for her."

"Why do you say that?"

"She once told me that if she was going to die, she hoped that she could die in an artistic way. But this way of dying was too ordinary for her."

As she spoke, the elevator door slowly closed, leaving Abby alone in a daze at what Victoria said just now. Looking at the photographer's body, a sentence flashed through her mind.

Artists are all created by lunatics.

The front desk office at the main entrance of the Aotu City Police Station Time 13:45

After putting away the luggage and checking in, Camille came to the police station in a car that was racing all the way in Palos. Fortunately, Camille had experienced the terrible speed that his colleagues had been racing from Seattle to Los Angeles.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm playing with his mobile phone in the back seat. An ordinary person should have worried about his own life.After parking the car in Palos, he led Camille to the front office first.

He laughed and introduced Camille's identity to the front desk, and soon the staff at the front desk gave Palos a card, and Palos threw it to Camille.

"this is?"

"The police station gives the guest a temporary card. With this, you can swipe the elevator over there to go to the office area upstairs."

"Thanks, Palos."

The two walked into the elevator one after the other. Palos pressed the third floor and the second floor.

"Boss Leishi and An Mixiu should be working on the second floor now. If I'm going to go back to my office on the third floor, I won't accompany you."

"You have helped enough, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Soon, the second floor arrived. Camille stepped out of the elevator and nodded to Palos who was still waving goodbye to him, and began to search for the office of the major crime team or the murder team on the second floor.After asking one or two police officers on the way, he realized that his elder brother and brother An were both in the reception room asking a related person.Forget it, go over there and wait for the eldest brother, and tell him your inference by the way.

Outside the reception room, a tall young man was standing in front of the coated glass outside the reception room, observing everything inside. Camille found a photo of his elder brother and this man from his memory, and immediately knew his identity. Identity, murder team leader An Mixiu, and An Mixiu also saw Camille.After seeing Camille's and Leishi's similar faces, he knew that Leishi's brother, a criminal psychologist, had arrived.

"You must be Camille, we haven't met formally yet, I'm An Mixiu."

"This is indeed the first official meeting, Brother An."

"Yeah, I just talked on the phone before."

The two shook hands, and Camille stood next to An Mixiu. At the same position, he saw his elder brother and a man in a neat suit with hair that looked like white aloe were asking a blue Hair, and a famous brand of women.

"Who is that gentleman?"

"District Attorney, Gray. He's here to see how this case is going."

"Where's the lady?"

"The president of the Bump City Planetary Consortium, Ms. Victoria."

"I've heard of her. Her daughter is the only daughter in their family and the most talented one. One of my colleagues is her senior at Harvard University."

"Harvard University, amazing."

"Well, after she graduated from Harvard, she defeated all the heirs in her family and monopolized the art and technology industries in many cities."

"A typical strong woman."

"Um..."

Camille squeezed her scarf, thinking.The glass he and An Mixiu are currently standing on is the kind of coated glass where the outside can see the inside, and the inside only reflects light.The people inside couldn't see him, so why... he always felt that someone was staring at him and An Mixiu from inside?

------

The camera switches to the reception room. Victoria sits on the sofa and continues to smoke the cigarette that has not been finished in the anatomy room. Lei Shi and Gray, who have been waiting in the reception room just now, are sitting opposite her, holding the The question of murder.

"Ms. Victoria, as a prosecutor I must tell you that you have the right to have your lawyer present at this time, and if you want your lawyer to be present, all you have to do is make a phone call."

"Oh, why should I call my lawyer?"

The president put the cigarette on the ashtray, let it go out automatically, and smiled contemptuously.

"You don't think I killed Sarah, do you?"

"about..."

"Why did I kill my meal ticket? If she survives, my art exhibition will start auctioning the day after tomorrow, and then maybe I can earn 8000 to [-] million back."

"But once she dies, all her photography works with you will become her last posthumous works. You know, most artists are only valuable after death. And Sarah has no relatives, no reason, and no legal first An heir, so according to the regulations, the money will flow into your pocket."

"This is true, but for me Sarah is more valuable alive. She is a good person, but it is a pity that she died early."

"What do you mean... living is more valuable?"

"Too young, Mr. Prosecutor. Photographic works are not like paintings. Each painter has his own unique signature and painting style, so no one can draw such works after their death to make them valuable, and Photography is different. The place where photographers take pictures will not change unless it is a natural situation. For photographers, time and the moment of capture are the key. Their artistic style comes from nature. Therefore, as a professional photographer, Sarah Teacher, there are so many photos, there may be more than 100 million, but there may be less than ten that can be sold as artworks. Therefore, a living photographer who can capture good photos and a dead photographer are only left The photographer of the next few photos, I still feel better alive."

Lei Shi intuitively said that he felt that Victoria was not lying.As far as the information she has revealed so far, she has no reason or need to lie, and a powerful woman like her will never kill someone with a knife herself, but hire a killer or something like that.

"Where were you from 11 o'clock yesterday evening to 4 o'clock this morning?"

"City Hall, the mayor held a charity party last night. I stayed there until five o'clock in the morning."

"Are there any witnesses?"

"Oh, dear. The first witness is the mayor, and the others are famous nobles in Bump City. Go ask them."

Sister Qiu will definitely not issue this search warrant, Gray thought silently.

"Do you think Miss Besson has any enemies?"

"As far as I know, she is a lonely person. She prefers to be alone except when she chats with me. Let me tell you, a girl like that doesn't seem like a person who will make enemies."

"Then what did she mention, girlfriends, boyfriends, girlfriends and the like?"

"Well, no, she doesn't talk about her own life, she prefers to look into the future, but unfortunately she has no future."

"Where does she stay? I think the museum should have arranged her itinerary."

"Shangri-La Hotel, her luggage should still be there."

Having finished all the questions that should be asked, Lei Shi and Gray glanced at each other, then stood up to signal.

"Thank you for your time Ms. Victoria, we will get in touch with you again."

"You're welcome, I hope you can catch the person who killed poor Sarah as soon as possible. Chief, let's go."

As he said that, the robot cat walked towards the president, and one person and one cat quickly left the floor.

"Have any idea? Thunder Lion?"

"That woman didn't lie, An Mixiu and I will go to the hotel to check the situation later."

"Then I will go back to the procuratorate later."

Lei Shi patted Ge Rui on the shoulder, and then came to the outside of the living room, wanting to hear what An Mixiu thought.When he came over, Camille and An Mixiu were still analyzing the situation. When he saw his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who had grown a lot, he stepped forward and hugged him.

"Camille, you're here!"

"Brother, long time no see."

"Long time no see, you've grown a lot taller, hey, can you chat with An Mixiu?"

"Ange is very nice."

"Hey, horseless knight, did you hear that? My brother is praising you."

"Why is your brother so polite, you are like a bandit."

"What bandits! I'm a pirate!"

Seeing his elder brother and brother An quarrel again, Camille sighed helplessly.He was thinking about all the words Victoria said just now. From what he saw outside the glass, her body language and facial expressions, what the woman said was all the truth. The dead photographer is worth money, and if she really did it, her motive cannot be money, because first, she has no shortage, and second, it is meaningless.As rich as she is, a talented person is of course worth more than banknotes.And even if her posthumous work is sold out, the money earned may only be her monthly expenses for the chairman of the planetary consortium.Although she is obviously capable of hiring killers to carry out assassinations, this condition does not hold here.

Moreover, she would not be so stupid as to use a female rookie assassin to assassinate, and she didn't have the money to hire a top assassin, so why would she go find a third-rate assassin.

In fact, Camille also considered whether it was the chairman himself who chopped the victim with an ax himself.However, he denied it the first time he saw this woman. Her wrist muscles were strong and her fists were strong. She was obviously a person who had learned combat sports.It is estimated that he is still a black belt player. When a person like this swings a safety axe, the strength is estimated to be able to knock down a 1.9-meter-strong man easily.

In this way, the existing clues are still needed, from the analysis of the corpse...

Camille, who was thinking like this, spoke to An Mixiu and Lei Shi who were still fighting.

"I want to see the bodies of the dead."

The forensic office on the second basement floor of the Aotu City Police Station Time 14:09

Following An Mixiu and Lei Shi, they took the elevator to the second basement floor, and the biting cold air blew towards Camille.

Fortunately, I brought a scarf, Camille thought.

Walking down the corridor, the three of them soon came to the dissection room, and Camille also saw two "female forensic doctors".

A female forensic doctor with huge red hair looking at a microscope and a "female forensic doctor" with a shawl and black hair writing a report

It looks... quite cute.

Among the two, Camille involuntarily looked at Amy who was writing the report.

"An Mixiu, are you back?"

"Well, Director Abby, let me introduce you. This is Professor Camille, a criminal psychologist and Leishi's younger brother. And this is the director of the Forensic Office, Miss Abby."

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Happy to meet."

Abby and Camille shook hands.

"That's the Chief Medical Examiner, Amy."

"Hi, my name is Amy."

"Camille."

warm hands...

Unlike "her" sister just now, who wore gloves when shaking hands, Amy took off the gloves before shaking hands.

"We are here to see three corpses. The second autopsy is over."

"Well, let me show you."

Speaking of which, Amy opened the three corpses one by one, and then looked up at Camille.

"Mr. Camille, do you feel unwell?"

"Don't worry about me, I have helped the Boston police solve the case, so I have seen the corpse, but thank you for your concern."

Camille smiled back at Amy's concern, and Amy nodded.

This guy... looks a little handsome when he smiles.Amy thought silently...

The three corpses sank in front of everyone's eyes. Amy picked up the report book and began to answer them one by one.

"During the second autopsy, I found a circular wound on the back of the deceased's head. The area of ​​the wound conformed to the specifications of the standard hammer mace used in the market today. I think it should be after the murderer knocked her unconscious with the hammer, and then killed her."

"One problem is that the report stated that being cut in two by the chainsaw was the cause of death, but the pain caused by the chainsaw sawing people will cause people to struggle no matter what kind of coma they are in."

"I'm also surprised about this, but I didn't find any traces of binding on the body, and judging from the bruises on the wound, it should be left by the murderer when he took the victim for the first time. There was no medicine in the body of the deceased. There is no remnant of the victim, and no second injury that can shock the deceased is found, while the other traces of the victim are all post-mortem trauma.”

"In other words, the murderer used a method to saw the victim in half without binding, using drugs, or knocking the victim unconscious?"

"Yes...By the way, the first body died five days ago. That is, July 7."

"What about the second corpse? Needless to say about the third one, you already know everything you need to know."

"The autopsy showed that the second body died four days earlier, on July 7th. Then there was the cut throat that was a box knife wound. Other than that I could find nothing more significant than the first autopsy A clue of value."

"What direction is the knife edge on the second corpse?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Which side of the knife is deeper?"

"The one on the right is deeper."

"The murderer was left-handed."

No one present could react, but Camille deduced that the murderer was left-handed.

"It is impossible for a person to cut someone's throat easily from the front, so he can only go around the back. If the murderer is right-handed, then he will definitely focus on the left and then cut to the right. But here is... If it’s deep on the right, that’s what it means.”

"He's left-handed."

"Well, but there are a lot of left-handed people, so it's hard to find."

In the dissecting room, everything that needs to be understood is understood, so Lei Shi, Camille and An Mixiu are ready to leave.Before leaving, Camille walked up to Amy.

"Thank you for your help today."

"You're welcome."

"For a girl, it's not easy to be the chief forensic doctor, is it?"

"...what?"

Amy looked at Camille in a daze, and Lei Shi, An Mixiu and Abby behind him were also in a daze.

"In terms of psychology, although there are many girls who are engaged in forensic medicine, there are also many who get married and quit when they reach the age..."

"It's not...that..."

"Ah, and in general, girls who have experienced most of the mutilated corpses are also very strong psychologically, and your psychological quality should also be good."

"Well, listen to me carefully..."

"However, from the perspective of criminal psychology, long-term pressure will also cause girls to panic, so..."

Before Camille could finish speaking, Amy picked up a report and threw it at Camille's head, and Camille staggered back a step.

What's the situation? ... Camille, whose head was hit, heard a roar from the opposite person before he could react.

"Open your eyes and see clearly!!! I'm a man!!!"

Looking at the face of the person opposite him flushed with anger and puffed up his cheeks, Camille felt his heart skip a beat.
