Chapter 237

I saw that the wall was neatly covered with photos. Besides that group photo, there were dozens of photos that Gu Changzheng found quite familiar—the crime scene photos after Xia Fei and the other three girls were killed!

It seems that this "hoodie" is indeed not an ordinary pervert! Those cruel and terrifying details were also clearly photographed by him, and the order in which he arranged the photos was also arranged in the order of the three girls' deaths, and each photo was neatly arranged horizontally in the order of eyes, chest, abdomen, and private parts! Behind each one was a big "Kill" character!

The flashlight in Gu Changzheng's hand continued to shine down. Below the three murdered girls were Fang Shengnan, Lin Xiaoxue, and the last one was actually Old Dean Zhou Hui!

Everyone in that group photo appeared on the wall, except for the youngest Yu Jiajia!

Seeing the photos on the wall, Gu Changzheng had already thought that there would be photos of other girls below, but he didn't expect that the last one was Old Dean Zhou Hui instead of Yu Jiajia! Does this indicate that Yu Jiajia is not on his kill list or does he have other arrangements?

Gao Ye was also stunned by the photo wall in front of him. "Is the next one to be killed Fang Shengnan?" He stared at the photo with the name "Fang Shengnan" written on it.

Gu Changzheng's right eyelid suddenly jumped abruptly. His heart "thumped", and he hurriedly took out his phone and dialed the phone of criminal police Xiao Yang, who was responsible for secretly protecting Fang Shengnan. The phone rang for thirty seconds but no one answered. Gu Changzheng's heart suddenly sank! It was impossible for the other party not to answer the phone during working hours. If the phone was not answered, there was only one possibility—something happened!

But that "hoodie" was still under his and Gao Ye's noses just now. Could he be in two places at once?

Sure enough, after five minutes, Xiao Yang's phone called back. As soon as the ringtone rang, Gu Changzheng pressed the answer button, only to hear a panting voice from the phone: "Captain Gu, something, something happened..."

At 9:12 PM, Room 1106, 11th floor, Mocha Apartment, forensic doctor Old Zheng was carefully investigating beside a naked corpse. The outside and the corridor had been pulled up with warning lines, and the detectives at the scene were all full of anger!

Fang Shengnan, the program host of Zizhen City Radio and Television Station, was wearing a red dress, but at this time the dress had been lifted to her chest. Similarly, her eyes were stabbed to ruin with a sharp weapon, her stomach was sliced open and arranged into a distorted cross in her body, and her private parts were cut off. It's just that this time, on a snow-white wall of the apartment, a crooked line of blood words was left: "There are two more! You guys hurry up!"

"Provocation!" Gao Ye's eyeballs stared round, and he shouted with an angry face: "Too arrogant! Pity! Almost caught him just now!" After saying this, he suddenly felt something was wrong again. That "hoodie"?...

Gu Changzheng looked at the blood words on the wall with no expression, but his brain was thinking rapidly: It seems that the killer is not one person. He has an accomplice, but what is his purpose in deliberately appearing to lure me to his lair? Is it just to attract my attention so that his companion can kill Fang Shengnan?

No! Not right. This obviously doesn't conform to logic, and he is not a madman. What good is it for him to deliberately expose his lair? Is it his deliberate provocation? Or is it humiliating the police?

While thinking about these questions, he came to Old Zheng's side: "Same method as before? The time of death is..."

Old Zheng didn't look back, but said in a certain tone: "Yes, the method of slicing open the abdomen, the tools used are exactly the same, it must be the same person, can't be wrong! The corpse is not yet stiff, the time of death is no more than 30 minutes."

"Also violated?" Gu Changzheng pursued.

Old Zheng turned his head and looked at him, asking: "What do you want to say?"

The two have been partners for too long, and Old Zheng has heard his implication.

Gu Changzheng said: "No sexual ability, I mean, if the perpetrator is someone with a disability, is there any difference in the traces of violation caused by using auxiliary tools?"

Old Zheng, who was wearing a mask, although he couldn't see the facial expression, could see the shock in his eyes! "Are you saying that the killer is a disabled person?!"

Gu Changzheng nodded and said: "I'm just inferring, but it should be correct!" Immediately, he told Old Zheng about the situation he learned from Shang Qimin. As a well-known figure in Zizhen medical circles, Old Zheng knew his big name, so he naturally wouldn't think his words were wrong.

Could it be that the killer left traces of sexual assault on every victim to mislead the police? Such a hypothesis suddenly flashed in Old Zheng's mind.

After listening to his words, Gu Changzheng said: "Your hypothesis is reasonable. We previously thought the killer was a sexual pervert, so we made the behavior of violating the victim's corpse. Now it seems that this possibility still exists. In sexual crime cases, there are also examples of sexually impotent people using tools to violate victims to satisfy their desires. So, it still cannot be ruled out that sexual assault is one of the purposes the killer wants to achieve by committing the crime."

"I know, but have you ever thought that the killer might also be a woman? If so, her behavior can be explained as misleading the police!" Old Zheng suddenly threw out such a hypothesis.

Gu Changzheng stood in place for a while. If Old Zheng's words were correct, his previous reasoning would be completely overturned! Was the investigation into Zhang Xiaodong also doing useless work?

Just as he was lost, Gao Ye appeared beside him and whispered: "Captain Gu! Found it, Angel Orphanage has started buying insurance for orphans in the orphanage since 2000!" Gao Ye swallowed his saliva and continued: "And it's not ordinary insurance, it's all accidental insurance!"

"Oh?" His words made Gu Changzheng, who was temporarily lost, recover his state, "Have you got the insurance materials?"

Gao Ye nodded: "Got it, the electronic version has been copied by Xiao Sun and the others."

———

Since 2000, Angel Orphanage has successively bought accidental insurance for dozens of children in the orphanage. According to the insurance terms, if those children have accidents, such as accidental drowning, burns, scalds, traffic accidents, and abnormal death as a non-fault party in specific events...

The list of insured persons actually included the six girls including Xia Fei, and what surprised him was that Zhang Xiaodong's name was also in it!

Gu Changzheng looked at the insurance policy on the computer. The policyholder and beneficiary column all had the same name—Zhou Hui!

Similarly, the insurance agent was also the same person, a man named Xia Mingde.

"Gao Ye!" Following Gu Changzheng's call, Gao Ye pushed the door and entered, "Captain Gu!"

Gu Changzheng pointed to the computer and said: "Find this Xia Mingde, and also, check the relationship between this person and Zhou Hui! And the insurance company's claim record after Zhang Xiaodong was burned that year."

In the night, the autumn rain was still falling tirelessly. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Gu Changzheng laughed coldly. It seems that he has already seen the answer to this serial murder case!
