On the fifth day of Ye Lei's death.
It was Friday.
After Chu Xiao woke up, he washed up and came back from his exercise. He looked at the message from Shen Yifei on his phone. After replying, he prepared breakfast.
He chatted with Shen Yifei while making breakfast. After breakfast, he said goodbye and drove off.
Shen Yifei had taken the initiative a lot since she announced the competition.
It was not an awkward chat, but he would selectively share some of his daily life with Chu Xiao.
As for Chu Xiao, he would reply as well and did not avoid reading it.
"Scum!"
Chu Xiao was driving a Passat today. Just as the car left the underground parking lot, his phone rang. It was Lu Ziming.
"Hey, Captain Lu, you found something?" Chu Xiao quickly answered the call and asked.
"We found another victim."
" What?!" Chu Xiao's expression changed.
Last night, he had circled around the area with alleys in Xuhui District several times and only returned home around midnight. It had been peaceful all along?
How did they find the victim now?
"This time, it's not in our district, but in Lixi Road. We found it when the garbage truck was dumping the trash can. The deceased was thrown into the trash can with two cuts on his face. We're rushing over now.”
"Dead?" Chu Xiao's face darkened.
"Yes, he's dead. According to the people from Changning Branch, he cut his throat with a knife.”Lu Ziming's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
"Okay, I got it. Captain Lu, I just went out and came over to take a look. Where is Lixi Road?”
"Lane 125, Lixi Road."
"Roger that."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao set up the GPS and quickly rushed to his destination.
If the case where Ye Lei was injured was really the same as the case at Lane 125 Lixi Road, it would be troublesome.
This meant that mere molestation and slashing of the face could no longer satisfy the perverted needs of the suspect. He was looking for greater stimulation.
Killing the victim afterwards was likely to be his new trigger.
As such, the suspect in this case could very well become a serial killer.
This was a very terrifying thing.
When the car arrived at Lane 125 of Lixi Road, a uniformed traffic policeman blocked the way at the entrance.
He lowered the window and took out his identification before the traffic police let him through.
After driving for about a hundred meters, Chu Xiao helplessly stopped the car. The alley in front of him was already filled with police cars, leaving only a single passage for one car.
After parking the car behind a police car, Chu Xiao got out of the car and quickly walked forward.
After showing his ID, Chu Xiao was allowed to enter.
He turned another corner and saw Lu Ziming and the others.
"Captain Lu." Lu Ziming looked up and saw Chu Xiao.
"How is it?" Chu Xiao asked directly as he walked over. Are you alone?"
"Probably." Lu Ziming answered with an ugly expression. Then, he said,"By the way, this is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Changning Branch, Qi Hai.”
"Hello, Captain Qi."
"Hello, Advisor Chu. I've heard a lot about you.”Qi Hai shook hands with Chu Xiao and said.
However, his face was full of seriousness and there was not a trace of a smile.
"Can I see the corpse?" Chu Xiao asked.
"Sure, let's go to Advisor Chu's side." Qi Hai nodded and led Chu Xiao forward.
Beside the body, the forensic doctor was conducting a preliminary examination.
The moment he saw the corpse, Chu Xiao felt uncomfortable.
However, he had been through several gunfights, so he suppressed this discomfort.
"The smell of disinfectant." Suddenly, Chu Xiao smelled something and said.
"Hmm? What did Advisor Chu say?" Qi Hai and the forensic doctor looked at Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao's voice was a little low, so they did not hear him clearly.
"I smell disinfectant.”Chu Xiao did not hide anything and replied after hearing the question.
After saying that, he looked at the right hand of the deceased.
" The victim's hands did come into contact with corrosive liquid," the forensic doctor said." However, we can't be sure if it's disinfectant."”
The passage of time, coupled with the open space, made the smell disappear a lot.
If not for Chu Xiao's five senses and the evolution of the small radar, he would not have been able to smell it.
However, the smell that he could still smell earlier and now allowed Chu Xiao to know that it was indeed disinfectant.
"Captain Qi, give me a pair of gloves."
"Alright." Qi Hai nodded and beckoned for his subordinate to bring over a pair of rubber gloves.
After putting on the gloves and obtaining the forensic doctor's permission, Chu Xiao gently picked up the victim's right hand. With his abnormal eyesight, Chu Xiao discovered that the other four fingers of the victim's right hand, other than the thumb, had traces of being washed.
"How old is the victim?" After reading it, Chu Xiao asked another question that he was very concerned about.
"In the trash can, we found the victim's ID card. He's 24 years old. We've checked. He's a university student from Danfu, and he's doing his internship at Huashan Hospital.”Qi Hai replied.
"Is there any sexual assault?" Chu Xiao asked again.
"She was naked and her clothes were gone. However, there were no signs of rape on her lower body.”the forensic doctor replied.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Chu Xiao stood up and walked out.
Seeing Chu Xiao leave, Qi Hai greeted the forensic doctor and quickly followed him.
"Advisor Chu, did you find anything?" Qi Hai stopped Chu Xiao and asked.
"Is this case merged with the case that Lu Ziming and the others are investigating?”Chu Xiao asked.
"For now, it should be. The forensic doctor did a preliminary comparison. The wound on his face was very similar to the wound in the previous case.”Qi Hai replied.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go and have a chat with Captain Lu.”
"Alright."
The two of them found Lu Ziming and the three of them walked to the side.
"I'm just saying what I think." " I can smell disinfectant on the corpse's hands." Chu Xiao said after he stood to the side." Combined with the corpse's right hand, the other four fingers, other than the thumb, have traces of being carefully cleaned.”
"My guess is that the murderer did not change his modus operandi, nor did he intend to kill anyone. However, the victim injured the suspect in the process of struggling.”
"In his anger, the suspect killed the victim.”
"However, after this incident, it is very likely that the suspect will change his modus operandi because the needs in his heart have become greater. Only killing can satisfy his perverted desires.”
"So, if you don't catch the suspect as soon as possible, the next victim will appear soon.”
"Right, Captain Lu, have you asked Ye Lei? What about the suspect's facial features?" Chu Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked.
"We contacted Dr. Wenren, but he said that Ye Lei's current situation is not suitable for asking about the details of the case, so we didn't go over.”Lu Ziming replied.
"Okay, I'll talk to Wen Ren and ask him to try it out. But don't get your hopes up. Based on the surveillance footage and the dim environment, the information that Ye Lei can provide is limited.”
"That's what I thought too. After all, it's not difficult to see from the surveillance footage that the suspect was wearing a mask.”Lu Ziming nodded.
"Alright, that's all. I'll go and ask around first. You guys continue with your work.”With that, Chu Xiao turned around and left.
"Advisor Chu, contact me immediately if you have any news.”Lu Ziming shouted.
"Don't worry!"
Chu Xiao waved his hand and did not turn back.
