"I'm thinking …" Wei Muran was so nervous that even his lips were dry.
She pursed her lips. "If it's really as the book says, the murderer of the third case has probably also seen a psychiatrist. These three murderers were all influenced by the psychiatrist and were manipulated by the psychiatrist to commit the murders. I don't know if the psychiatrist was inspired by this book, or — "
"He's definitely the author of this book." A familiar clear male voice came from the door.
Wei Muran looked back and saw Qi Youxuan standing at the door of Jiang Yuecheng's office. It was still hot, but he was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Obviously, he came directly from Qi Lin.
Qi Youxuan had been helping them with cases in the police station before, so he naturally dressed casually. Wei Muran rarely saw him dressed formally.
When he stood at the door, Wei Muran was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yuecheng's office was sunny. The sunlight shone through the window onto the wall, floor, table, and doorway.
The golden sunlight shone diagonally on Qi Youxuan's body, making half of his tall body fall into the sunlight and the other half hide in the shadows.
The part of his body that was in the sunlight seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. His face had a halo effect, making the dark half appear even more mysterious.
Seeing Qi Youxuan's somewhat proud smile, Wei Muran came back to her senses and realized that she was actually staring at him in a daze.
She coughed and stood up with a slightly red face. "Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"
"I received your call, so I took care of the things at hand and came over," Qi Youxuan said.
Wei Muran naturally didn't hide her discovery from Qi Youxuan. On the way back from buying the book, she called him and roughly explained the situation.
At the same time, she also asked for his opinion. She didn't know if her guess was right, even though it sounded too unbelievable.
Unexpectedly, Qi Youxuan said her guess was very reliable. This gave Wei Muran confidence, so when she told Jiang Yuecheng about her guess, she became more daring.
"You already know about this book?" Jiang Yuecheng asked.
Qi Youxuan sat down familiarly and nodded. "I also bought a copy and roughly browsed it on the way here."
Jiang Yuecheng nodded and said, "I need to read this book."
His reaction showed that he accepted Wei Muran's guess, which made Wei Muran feel refreshed.
The two of them went out first. Jiang Yuecheng quickly read through the first three cases and their final outcomes alone in the office. He did not look at the specific process of the case. He only read the descriptions of the cases in detail, including the manner of death of the deceased, the autopsy report, and the final confession of the murderer.
After more than an hour, Jiang Yuecheng finally came out. "Everyone, gather around. I have something to say."
Everyone gathered around and formed a half circle, as if they were having a small meeting.
"Mu Ran, you've read this book in detail. Please repeat your previous analysis," Jiang Yuecheng said.
Wei Muran nodded and repeated what he said to Jiang Yuecheng earlier.
"So, this is a serial case, and it's completely based on this book." Zhao Yiyang said in surprise, "I really want to see the author of this book. What kind of brain does he have to be so awesome?"
"I'm more curious about that psychiatrist. If there's really such a person and he's the murderer, he's really amazing to be able to move a case from a fictional novel into reality without us being able to catch any clues." Yang Shaozhan sighed. He felt that this matter was too unreal.
"This … is quite unbelievable," Xing Jiadong blinked and said subconsciously.
"You can read it." Jiang Yuecheng passed the book to Xing Jiadong. "After reading this book, I really have to believe it. There's not even an excuse like coincidence. Coincidences can't be exactly the same. "
Xing Jiadong obediently opened the book and started reading. His expression when he was reading was really wonderful. He would change every now and then.
"Muran, is there still no result for the case being investigated in T City?" Jiang Yuecheng asked.
"Yes." Wei Muran nodded. "A female corpse was found this morning. As for the specific situation of the second corpse, I haven't asked in detail."
"I'll go and ask the chief to see if we can combine the third case with the previous two. We'll go to T City to assist with the case," Jiang Yuecheng said and stood up, preparing to leave.
Wei Muran suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped him. "Captain Jiang, wait a moment."
Jiang Yuecheng turned around and Wei Muran hurriedly said, "I remember. Didn't the murderer of the first case, Dong Zhengfeng, commit suicide in the mental hospital?"
Jiang Yuecheng nodded. Wei Muran's expression was solemn. "The murderer of the first case also committed suicide in the mental hospital. As for the murderer of the second case, he died in prison. I remember in the book, the second murderer was judged to have died accidentally due to a dispute with his cellmate. However, the police suspected that there was something fishy about his death, but they could only suspect it because there was no evidence. It was only after the last psychiatrist was caught that it was proven that the accidental death was only man-made. It was actually a homicide to destroy the evidence held by the second murderer. "
"If that's really the case, then Li Niancheng is in danger," Zhao Yiyang responded quickly.
Wei Muran nodded.
"Yiyang, go find Li Niancheng with Jia Dong immediately. First, ensure his safety, and ask who the psychiatrist is. I'll go and ask the chief now, "Jiang Yuecheng hurriedly said. He didn't dare to delay and rushed out of the door.
If he applied early, he would have a legitimate reason to contact T City and officially participate in the case there.
Wei Muran and Yang Shaozhan were left in the office. Yang Shaozhan didn't stay idle either. Without Jiang Yuecheng's special instructions, he had already started to investigate the registered psychiatrist in B City. The national scope was a bit too big, but thinking of the previous two cases, Dong Zhengfeng and Li Niancheng were both born and raised in B City. They didn't have long-term experience living in other cities, and they didn't go to other cities on a regular basis, so the psychiatrist probably worked in B City.
Moreover, those two people probably wouldn't find an unlicensed psychiatrist, right?
Wei Muran didn't have anything to do, so he was very anxious. At this moment, he might as well give her some work to divert her energy.
Seeing this, Qi Youxuan said, "I'll give Yang Shaoqun a call. He wants me to help. If I ask him, he'll definitely tell me in detail."
Hearing this, Wei Muran became energetic and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes.
Qi Youxuan found it funny and rubbed her hair. Wei Muran only blushed, but didn't rebuke him. She obediently took out her phone, found Yang Shaoqun's number, and dialed it.
It seemed to be quite busy on the other side. The phone rang for a long time before Yang Shaoqun picked it up. Qi Youxuan heard him call very familiarly, "Muran!"
"It's me, Qi Youxuan," Qi Youxuan said faintly.
Yang Shaoqun was very excited!
Wei Muran was too reliable. He called her in the morning and got a reply from Qi Youxuan in the afternoon.
"Mr. Qi!" Yang Shaoqun shouted excitedly. It was as if he had finally found his savior but didn't want to leave his name. It made Qi Youxuan sweat a little.
"Muran said that you found another female corpse this morning. Can you tell me the details?" Qi Youxuan asked.
Even though Qi Youxuan couldn't see it, Yang Shaoqun still nodded vigorously on the other end of the phone. He couldn't wait to spill out everything he knew.
"Yes, yes, of course," Yang Shaoqun said. In fact, the whole team was outside investigating and they were really busy. When Yang Shaoqun picked up the phone, he was asking the deceased's mother. Now, only Zhang Shanfei was there to ask.
"The deceased's name is Cao Keya. She's a nurse in the internal medicine department of T City's Cihui Hospital. She died of suffocation. This morning, her corpse was found in the bathtub at her home. According to the forensic examination, there were traces of tape on her mouth. There were many needle holes on her body. They were all new wounds, similar to the thickness of knitting needles and barbecue skewers. According to the bleeding of the wounds, the forensic examination determined that she was stabbed before she died. The deceased was conscious at that time. Then, her nose and mouth were taped and she was submerged in the bathtub. Therefore, she didn't drown but suffocated because her mouth was taped.
"When she was found, the deceased wasn't wearing any clothes. Her upper body was submerged in the bathtub. The bathtub was full and the water from the faucet was very thin. According to the forensic examination report, the time of death was between 12: 30 to 1: 30 in the morning. The water in the bathtub was flowing all night. Because the water was thin, the bathtub didn't fill up quickly. In the morning, the neighbor downstairs had a leak. When she came up and rang the bell, there was no response. She called the property management and then the police.
"Other than the needle holes, there were no signs of invasion on the deceased's body. There was no murderer's DNA either. The autopsy report just came out. We're now investigating the relationship between the deceased and all parties. " Yang Shaoqun said, "We still don't have any leads. We're now at the deceased's mother's house."
