At six o 'clock in Shangjiang City, the sky was already bright.
All kinds of breakfast stalls along the street were already set up. Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and the aroma of all kinds of food filled the long street.
There were also young people jogging and old people taking a stroll by the roadside. There was not much traffic on the street. Under the golden rays of the morning sun, the city was so calm and peaceful.
Xu Xu could almost smell the fragrance of the buns through the car window. She really wanted to get out of the car to eat some breakfast. However, the thought of going to the murder scene made her stomach feel uncomfortable after eating.
Zheng Zi, who was driving, had a good eye, so she slowed down the car and said, "Captain Xu, let's go down and eat something first …"
"No need, let's go to the scene first, we'll eat when we come back." Xu Xu refused.
Zheng Zi complained, "It's only been two days and they're already rushing to call you back from out of town. What urgent matter could there be! "
Xu Xu shook her head. "I heard that it's very serious."
"These leaders always think of you when there's a problem. They can't even think of a promotion and a raise. "
Zheng Zi had a lot of resentment towards the higher-ups. She followed Xu Xu in Serious Crime Division One and took on all the major cases. After solving so many cases, Xu Xu was only given the title of a godly detective. She did not see any other benefits, but she was extremely tired.
Most importantly, there were always cases that could not be solved, so the pressure fell on them. Not only did Xu Xu have to charge forward, but she also had to be responsible for filling the holes. It was really too much!
Xu Xu was very calm about this. She liked her job and the sense of accomplishment that came from upholding justice and upholding the law after solving a case. As for the other treatment, it was actually not bad.
Although she was only a year older than Zheng Zi, she was much calmer than her. She rarely cared about the various entanglements in administrative affairs, so she would not be bothered by it.
After the Dongfeng off-road vehicle turned a corner, Xu Xu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw a large row of police cars with their lights on from afar, occupying most of the street.
After a rough count, there were more than twenty police cars.
Zheng Zi's car was stopped by two heavily armed police officers as soon as it entered the street.
After looking at Zheng Zi and Xu Xu's police badges, they removed the road sign and let Zheng Zi and Xu Xu in.
After driving for a short distance, Zheng Zi had to find a place to park the car and walk in with Xu Xu.
When they arrived at the scene, Chief Liu Qingyuan came out to welcome them before they even entered the door. When he saw Xu Xu, his gloomy old face became a little happier.
"Xu Xu, you're finally here …"
Xu Xu and Zheng Zi saluted together.
Liu Qingyuan waved his hand. "Let's look at the scene first." Then, he personally led Xu Xu to the first floor.
A new junior police officer saw Liu Qingyuan accompanying a capable short-haired beauty. He curiously asked the old man next to him, "Who is that woman? Is the chief accompanying her personally?"
"You don't even know her …"
The old policeman with a mouthful of stubble was very disdainful. "This is Xu Xu, the number one sister of the police force in Shangjiang. He was only twenty-seven this year, but he had already solved several major cases. He was very famous in Jinling Prefecture. Tsk tsk, impressive! "
"Damn, she looks like a movie star in real life. She's much prettier than her photos!"
The young policeman was amazed. "If I had a wife like her, I would be willing to shorten my lifespan by 20 years."
"Hehe, marry her? Dream on …" The old policeman was even more disdainful. This was a police detective. Not only was she good-looking, but she was also talented and had a frighteningly strong family background.
This kind of person was not someone they could hook up with at their level!
In fact, apart from the new rookie, everyone present knew Xu Xu. When Xu Xu entered the room, someone handed her a pair of light plastic gloves.
Liu Qingyuan introduced, "We've already done a preliminary investigation. Ten people died, and they were all adult males."
Zheng Zi gasped and gave Xu Xu a look. She then mouthed, "This is a big deal. We can only have lunch now …"
With so many people dead, it would take a few hours to investigate the scene. After that, there would be a meeting. They were already very lucky to be able to have lunch.
Xu Xu did not respond. Although she was also very shocked, she would not show it. As a detective, no matter what, she had to pretend to be full of confidence.
Sun Yang and the bald man's corpses were placed there, and the wide open shutter door made the room bright. Every detail could be clearly seen.
The bald man's larynx was broken and caved in, and there was an abnormal purplish-black color on the gray corpse. The neck was abnormally twisted, and it was obvious that it had been forcibly twisted by an external force.
Xu Xu squatted next to the bald man's corpse, and her heart tightened. The murderer's methods were ruthless, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. She asked casually, "The larynx was broken, and the spine was also broken, right?"
"Yes."
A middle-aged man came over with a folder and answered on Liu Qingyuan's behalf. "The deceased's name is Baldy, and his larynx was broken by a blunt object. Our initial guess is that he was hit by a fist. The spine that was connected to the neck was forcibly twisted by an external force. We also found some traces on the deceased's chin, and the murderer broke it by twisting his neck. "
The middle-aged man said, "The whole process was very straightforward, and it was probably over in one or two seconds."
Xu Xu nodded, and she believed in Marlin's judgment. He was an expert in trace detection, and he was also a top forensic doctor. Ordinary cases would not be able to hire him.
Xu Xu then examined Sun Yang's corpse, and specifically looked at the wound below his ear.
Marlin introduced, "The deceased, Sun Yang, died of the same cause of death as the bald man, which was a broken cervical vertebra. Before he died, the joint of his lower jaw was twisted and fractured by a heavy blow, which caused a strong concussion. This position seems to be … "
"Kicked with a whip leg." Xu Xu made a decisive judgment.
Marlin hesitated for a while before he said, "I think so too, but the force is a little too strong …"
Xu Mei stood up and took a few steps back to examine the body before saying, "I'm guessing that the murderer came in with Sun Yang. The room is very dark, so Baldy probably doesn't know the murderer. He might have interrogated him, or realized that something was wrong, so the murderer made a move … "
At this point, Xu Xu took two steps forward and punched the air. She paused for a while before she said, "The murderer's speed should be very fast, and his fist technique should be very fierce. After breaking Baldy's larynx with one punch, he took the opportunity to grab Baldy's neck and twist it. "
Xu Xu made a twisting gesture again, then thought for a while before she said, "Sun Yang must've been scared out of his wits. He might've wanted to run or scream, so the murderer kicked Sun Yang until he fainted, then twisted his neck again."
Marlin nodded. "That should be the case, because the whole process must have been very short. The people upstairs didn't react at all. "
Xu Xu said, "Let's go upstairs."
When they went up to the second floor, Xu Mei saw five corpses in the living room. Compared to the first floor, the corpses in the living room were much more bloody.
The blood that flowed out left a few large puddles of purplish-red blood on the tiles. It was a horrifying sight.
Xu Xu had been to many crime scenes, but it was her first time seeing so much blood.
Zheng Zi, who was following behind, turned pale. Although she knew that ten people had died, the scene of a few corpses and a lot of blood was still particularly shocking.
Marlin took the plastic bag with the leg cover and passed it to Xu Mei. "The scene is quite bloody, but fortunately, most of it was preserved. We've already taken photos and videos, and we're just waiting for you to come so we can do a further examination. "
Liu Yuanqing consciously stood at the entrance of the corridor and did not go in. It was all technical work, so he would not be able to help even if he went in.
Normally, this kind of scene did not require his attention. However, ten people had died at once, and this was a shocking case in the entire Federation. How could he dare to be negligent? He only hoped that Xu Xu could find clues as soon as possible and solve the case.
Otherwise, the state government would definitely send people down to form a joint investigation team to solve the case as soon as possible. If he waited for the people from the state government to come down, he would be derelict in his duty as the bureau chief.
However, solving a case was not something that could be done with brute force. There were a few million residents in Shangjiang, and there were also one or two million mobile people. They must have reliable clues in order to further narrow down the scope and screen the target.
Xu Xu and the others were all technical experts, so they were used to Liu Yuanqing watching from the side. However, no one was particularly concerned about it.
After carefully walking around the scene in the living room, Xu Xu checked the wounds of a few corpses. After pondering for a while, she retreated to the entrance of the corridor again.
"They're all knife wounds, clean, precise, and ruthless."
Xu Xu frowned deeply. She had solved so many cases, and she had seen all kinds of cruel, perverted, and cunning murderers. However, the murderer in this case was far more powerful than ordinary people!
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that such a master existed in the world.
"Let's go in and take a look …" Xu Xu said.
Marlin led the way and entered the master bedroom at the side. "There are two people who were asleep here, and they were killed in their sleep."
Xu Xu went in and walked around. Both of them were killed with a single stab, and there were no signs of struggle. Marlin's judgment was very accurate.
They went around to the room with the anti-theft iron door, and Xu Xu signaled with her eyes.
Marlin sighed. "This family is a loan shark. They try to seduce girls to borrow money, and if they can't afford it, they use their bodies to repay. There are three girls locked up here, and they're all prepared to sell them … "
"Scum …" Zheng Zi was indignant.
"There's actually a survivor?"
Xu Xu's eyes lit up. It was such an important matter, but he did not mention it earlier.
"There's a survivor, and one of the girls saw the murderer with her own eyes."
Marlin shook his head. "However, this girl was ravaged and humiliated by these people. She wanted to take revenge on them, but she was frightened. Her testimony can't be trusted yet, and it's very easy to mislead us."
Xu Xu nodded. Marlin was right. Witnesses who held a strong grudge against the deceased would give unreliable testimony. Before that, it was better to investigate on their own to avoid being misled.
When they entered the last bedroom, Xu Xu noticed that the safe had been opened the moment she entered.
Xu Xu looked around, and then checked her third older brother's body. He had also died from a sharp blade piercing through his heart. Judging from the bleeding, the blade had stayed on her third older brother's body for a while.
She simulated it in her mind and tried to recreate the scene. The other party's goal was clear, their actions were meticulous, and they were ruthless. They were truly terrifying killers.
"Has the money in the safe been taken away?" Xu Xu asked.
Marlin replied, "It's all taken away. According to the traces left in the safe, there should be more than a million yuan. There might even be jewels and diamonds. "
Xu Xu asked, "What do you think the other party's purpose is?"
Marlin shook his head in embarrassment. "From the traces, it seems like it was done by one person. Especially the wounds on the victim's body, there are two types of knife marks. However, if the other party was alone, then their skill is too terrifying! "
Zheng Zi asked unwillingly, "Are there any other traces, such as footprints, fingerprints, or scratches on clothes, hair, etc?"
"So far, there's nothing," Marlin said.
"We've also asked the people around us, and a few of them saw Sun Yang bring someone over at one o 'clock last night, but no one noticed what the other person looked like. However, no one noticed what the other person looked like. They only vaguely remembered that it was a man, taller than Sun Yang. "
At this time, Liu Qingyuan also entered the room. He looked at Xu Xu expectantly and asked, "How is it, what's the result?"
Xu Xu said seriously, "My preliminary judgment is that the murderer is alone. He's good at using two knives and is proficient in martial arts. Moreover, he has rich experience in anti-reconnaissance. His psychological quality is abnormally strong. It can be seen that he was very calm and rational when he killed, and he didn't say anything unnecessary. However, he probably spoke a little more to Third Brother, and judging by his wounds, he was probably interrogating him … "
Liu Qingyuan was stunned. "Only one person?" This was beyond his understanding. Using a knife to kill ten strong men without leaving any traces, this was too surreal.
Xu Xu led Liu Qingyuan back to the entrance of the second floor and demonstrated to him.
"When the murderer came up, the few people who were playing cards probably didn't see it, but the one who was watching TV saw it. Then, everyone stood up. "
Xu Xu raised her hands and made a throwing gesture. "The murderer threw out two knives, and the two people at the front were stabbed in the heart, and they died on the spot."
Liu Qingyuan, Zheng Zi, and Ma Lin looked at Xu Xu, speechless. Xu Xu's performance was like a movie, it was exaggerated no matter how they looked at it.
Xu Xu continued to walk forward until she was in front of the two corpses, then gestured with her hands. "The murderer quickly rushed forward and pulled out the knives that were thrown out. Therefore, the blood from the two people's hearts spurted out very far. "
After a pause, Xu Xu sighed and gestured again. "The two people at the back obviously made a move, you can tell from their posture, but their knives were blocked by the murderer. Then, the knives cut open their trachea and arteries. This time, the blood spurted out was even more exaggerated. "
Xu Xu raised her hand. "The remaining one was also killed by the throwing knives. At this point, the five thugs in the living room were all killed. It took no more than five seconds. "
In the end, Xu Xu concluded, "The murderer's murder process was as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times, there were no delays or accidents.
Obviously, this is impossible. Therefore, this can only mean one thing, the murderer is too powerful, he can calmly deal with all the changes. This is an unusually experienced and terrifying killer. I estimate that he must be at least thirty-five years old and have a lot of experience in killing, only then could he have such a standard … "
After listening to Xu Xu's deduction of the entire crime process, Liu Qingyuan felt a chill run down his spine. Zheng Zi and Ma Lin were also shocked.
Ma Lin hesitated and wanted to refute, but Xu Xu's deduction was very strict, and there were wounds on the corpses as proof, so he could not refute her.
"The murderer has seriously damaged public order and threatened the safety of the people's lives and property, we must arrest him as soon as possible."
Liu Qingyuan waved his hand. "I will order all the police officers in the city to cooperate with you, no matter what, we must find the murderer …"
