Chapter 498

The scene was surveyed and it was almost sunset.

They arrived in the small town in the afternoon and ran for several places in a row. The night had begun to cover them.

Even if Holmes is alive, it is impossible to solve the case in a short time with such a clue, and it will take time for the test report of the police forensic personnel to come out.

They had to go home and James drove back to the city.

As night falls, players also have to face an important problem.

Where are you staying tonight?

Because the disappearance case almost made the whole city full of people, all the hotels were closed and closed at this time. In the worst case, the three players could only go to the police station for a night.

Fortunately, James patted his chest and said he could stay at his house. It doesn't matter if he didn't rent a hotel.

So they went to James' house by car.

"Come on, come on in. This is my house."

James' home is a small apartment on the second floor. It is said to be small. In fact, it has more than 100 square meters. It has two floors. The second floor is a living room, and the first floor is a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom.

"Haven't you lived here lately?"

An Yizhi noticed that although the room was clean, it lacked the breath of life, as if no one had lived for some time.

"This was originally my parents' house. Later, they moved to other cities to provide for the elderly. It happened that I graduated from the police school and returned to my hometown, so I lived here."

He helped them find the slippers and said:

"But don't worry. There are a lot of rooms and quilts. To be honest, it's too big for me to live here alone."

When the people entered the house, James showed them around the bedroom. An Yi carefully explored one side and found nothing wrong.

I've always suspected that I'm too sick. James's enthusiasm always makes him feel a little too much, but now I haven't found any doubts. Maybe James is really a hospitable guy.

"What would you like to eat? There are some fast food in the fridge, but we can order pizza."

James acted like a child taking his friends home.

Anyway, there is no open diet system, and it doesn't matter whether players eat or not. However, in order to avoid NPC doubt, the three still ate some pizza.

After dinner, the sky was completely dark. James and the brave are invincible. These two childlike goods sit in front of the TV and watch cats and mice. They are happy from time to time.

——I really doubt how old these two people are

Ann and fingers left lush grass on the plains.

Speaking of the old detective, he was busy dealing with the influx of reporters and holding a press conference, so he never showed up again. He clearly said he would help book the hotel, but it seemed that he had been forgotten.

"Alas... There is really no law."

Ann put down a stack of files and rubbed her dry eyes.

"Not on my side either."

In order to save time, they divided the information into two and read it from beginning to end.

The data are all the basic data of the missing person, such as age, gender and other physical characteristics, professional address and so on. Only a few data have some witness testimony, but obviously, those testimony are useless.

"Is the prisoner a psychopath who kidnaps and kills people indiscriminately? I feel that there are almost no rules among these victims."

Don't say lush grass on the plains, and ANN can't understand.

Don't forget, this is in the game, not reality.

Everything in the game is controlled by the system. Since the system sends the data to the players by the hand of the old detective, it means that there must be some hints or clues in the data. It is difficult to explain just a "indifference crime".

"There must be clues we haven't noticed. Let me think about it."

"All right."

Standing up from the lush grass on the plains, it seems that the kitchen is going to make some coffee to refresh itself.

An Yizhi was sitting on the sofa, staring at the stack of data, but thinking about the bodies found during the day.

One was severely beaten, his brain exploded and his body was dumped after death. One is a complete skeleton, flesh and blood disappeared and buried in the forest.

The most unforgettable thing for Ann is the bite marks on the bones.

It doesn't look like the bite marks were left by wild animals. If they were wild animals, they would break the bones. There were no damaged bones at the scene. None of them was as clean as scraping off the meat with a razor.

Those bones made Ann feel more like eating the rest of the ribs.

Cannibals?

Possible, but not sure.

An Yizhi's knowledge is not enough. He can't tell whether the bite marks on the bones belong to humans or some exotic creatures.

But none of this prevented him from detecting the doubt between the two bodies.

——The two bodies are obviously different in treatment methods!

The police have a technique called psychological profile, which can guess the prisoner's personality characteristics through the prisoner's behavior and behavior, and even restore the killer's physical characteristics according to the personality characteristics.

The accuracy is as high as magic.

An Yizhi knows a little about this, but he is not very proficient. But he also knew that generally speaking, even serial killers would not deal with bodies in such a different way.

What does that mean?

"Maybe we're not looking for a prisoner?"

As soon as I read this, it suddenly opened up.

Yes, yes, there is more than one prisoner!

An Yizhi was misled by habitual thinking at the beginning and thought that all missing cases were committed by one prisoner, but the different treatment methods of corpses made him realize that these cases could not be handled together. It is likely that several prisoners committed crimes at the same time. Whether they knew each other is unknown, but there is obviously a potential tacit understanding.

For a moment, lush grass on the plains of his coffee, he said,

"Help me see it again. This time, we don't need to find the common ground of everyone. We will classify the victims according to a common ground, such as occupation."

This kind of case solving copy is the most inspirational place. Sometimes one or two flashes of inspiration can greatly promote progress.

The two men buried themselves in the information again. This time, they quickly divided all the victims into three parts.

The first and first incident, the prisoner in the Pontiac.

There were 15 victims, all of whom were sure that witnesses saw them get on the car.

The second has something in common. These people's birthdays are on the same day, even if not in the same year.

There are 54 of them, and their occupations are diverse. The only thing they have in common is their birthdays.

In the last one, all of them lived alone and were found missing for several days.

In this way, the situation is much clearer. Assuming that there are three prisoners or three groups committing crimes, it may explain why the handling of bodies is so different.

"The first case, let's call it the Pontiac car case. This case occurred first in chronological order."

All the victims of the Pontiac car case disappeared within two to three days, and no witnesses claimed to have seen the Pontiac car in all subsequent cases.

"The second is the murder of people with the same birthday and the cases of irregular victims. These cases occurred after Pontiac's case. I guess the killers of these cases should start to take action after seeing the murderer of Pontiac's case commit a crime and feeling that they can pour dirty water on him. Moreover, the number of victims is huge, which is obviously not something one or two people can do , it's probably a gang crime. "

"Now we have changed from one goal to three goals? How do you feel that the situation has become more difficult."

The original is a lush grass on the plains. There was only one prisoner. Now they are looking for more than a perverted killer who drives the Pontiac car, and two more imitates.

"No, although there are more people to catch, the situation has become simpler for solving the case."

An Yizhi thought for a moment and then said:

"It's hard to tell whether there is a connection between the three waves of prisoners, but there must be some tacit understanding among them. Look at these dates."

Picking up several pieces of information, he said:

"The dates of these missing persons are very average. They commit crimes almost every other day or two, and they commit crimes alternately."

I looked carefully at lush grass on the plains, and I did say, as Ann pointed out.

"In other words, except for the prisoners in the first Pontiac case, the other two groups of prisoners are likely to be imitators, cooperating to make things bigger?"

"I think they have different purposes."

Knocking on the armrest of the sofa, Ann shook her head and said:

"Suppose the first prisoner is a pure psychopath, and the purpose of the other two groups of prisoners is completely different from him. From the perspective of corpse disposal, one of them will blow up people's brains and the other will eat people."

Speaking of lush grass on the plains, he was close to the grass.

There are not only players in this house, but also an NPC sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons. Some things can't be said in front of the NPC.

"This treatment reminds me of some bad things."

"What is it?"

"Heretics and ghouls."

An Yizhi has read several original novels of kesulu myth. From the perspective of background, this technique is very similar to them.

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's dangerous."

Ghouls are different from those in the multiverse. They are mythical creatures in ksuru mythology and are quite dangerous. And cultists are more dangerous than mythical creatures from a certain point of view, because they are a group of crazy people with reason of 0. You can predict the behavior of stupid people, but no matter how smart they are, they can't predict madmen!

——This is why everyone is particularly afraid of NIKU.

"Maybe we can try not to contact them. Anyway, the main task is to live until the end of the plot."

"I'm afraid not. We've been trapped since we entered the city. Do you remember the last time?"

That means you don't die, death comes to you.

"So we'd better try our best to find the killer to pass the customs. It's better to have a greater priority than to wait passively."

The whole army was wiped out. Lush grass on the plains, he knew that passive combat was even easier to fight even if the three men had more fighting power. Besides, the fighting power of the three men in this replica was just the average man level.

"Where shall we start?"

"Tomorrow we'll go to the old detective's office and see what else we have."

There is no good way for an Yizhi. At the beginning of each copy of this kind, we always look at it step by step. If the clues are not enough, that's the only way.
