Chapter 449

Old Liu said, "He's just like that; when he meets someone talented, he uses them to the fullest."

The Director said, "Solving cases is our duty as police officers; is there any problem with that?"

No problem, absolutely no problem, but if we really have to say it, there is a problem; we are human too, we need rest, we aren't iron men, okay?

Chen Fan, with a dark face, said, "Don't you go home to accompany your wife?"

The Director said, "I'm going back; I need little sleep, three hours is enough, and that's enough time to be with my wife too."

????

Awesome.

This is talent; you can't compare.

The Director took out the Juan Sect file and handed it to Chen Fan; Chen Fan opened it and began to read.

Then he lit a cigarette.

The case is actually a common copycat case, imitating the case of Jack the Ripper.

The reason the Ripper case is so baffling is simply because it was the first to utilize counter-investigation tactics and the method of killing at crossroads.

And to this day, no one has solved this case.

As a result, countless criminal madmen are all pondering how to imitate it.

It's just that in this case, there are relatively many victims.

Yes, broadly speaking, many: women.

These are two characters; read separately, they represent two types.

Children and mothers.

Chen Fan widened his eyes; the more he looked, the more outrageous it became.

"Are you serious? This case hasn't been solved yet?"

"No, it's an old case; we have the DNA preserved here. This guy was simple: rape, then murder. He killed the mother, then killed the child, very decisively, didn't even clean the scene, just left directly."

"What about fingerprints?"

"No fingerprints, not a single one; presumably the fingerprints were damaged, so after analysis by many experts, this person was planning the crime."

Chen Fan said, "Scouting, planning; even if it's a passerby, you could screen them."

"Yes, we screened them, but it was useless."

Chen Fan, with a dark face, said, "Do you think he's gone?"

The Director said, "I don't know; Li Tian infers he hasn't left, just hidden himself; as for why, it's uncertain."

Chen Fan calculated seriously, then said, "I don't do deduction; how about this, later let your forensic students let me pick one as an apprentice, how about that?"

"You're not allowed to pick the good ones."

"Whatever; if I really take an apprentice, I'll go by mood, follow fate. Does this case have bodies?"

"Yes, preserved; some families needed cremation, they have no choice, we couldn't argue them out of it, but we still kept six..."

Chen Fan nodded, lowered his head, and began to eat frantically.

Then he took a big gulp of white liquor, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Tonight, no one sleeps.

The live-stream audience needs rest, but forensic experts don't need rest.

In the autopsy room, Chen Fan held a knife, carefully examining the child's body.

Old Liu was responsible for the woman's body.

"They are all mother and daughter pairs; are you sure they are biological?"

Chen Fan raised a very strange concept; here, the Director said, "They are mother and daughter, all confirmed."

Chen Fan began examining the wounds.

Most of the child's wounds were of one type; simply put, the neck was directly snapped.

You have to know, when a person wants to snap someone else's neck, the courage required is very great.

This isn't just moral condemnation; it also requires inner conflict and such.

After examining, Chen Fan said, "On fingerprints and grip strength, everything corresponds; there's no difference."

"The woman's body DNA is also identical."

"No fingerprints, but the method is exactly the same."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he suddenly paused and said, "Something's wrong."

Something's wrong?

Here, the Director said, "How is it wrong?"

"The wrong part is that it's exactly the same."

Exactly the same?

Everyone looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan went straight to the autopsy table, put on gloves, and said, "The movements are fixed: hand here, then here, then here, finally start taking off his own pants."

"Come on, a woman would definitely resist, but there was no resistance."

"Not even scratch marks; this absolutely doesn't fit logic."

Li Tian instantly became terrified and said, "What do you mean?"

"I ask you, Li Tian, when you go home and bother your wife, is it a fixed pattern?"

"How could it be fixed or anything? You're talking nonsense; people have emotions, have desires; because of desires, when doing anything, it's all uncertain, all random."

"Yes, but I checked the cell compression status; obviously, this person used a fixed pattern, like completing homework."

Like completing homework.

Li Tian understood instantly and said, "You mean, someone is threatening others, committing crimes."

"The classic rape theory—one person alone can rarely pull it off."

The Director said, "If that's the case, then actually, it's understandable that there have been no crimes during this period."

Li Tian said, "Two outcomes. First, this person killed the perpetrator and went off to live in peace."

"Second, the perpetrator got bored, slaughtered the offender, and then went off to play with someone else."

Chen Fan said, "As long as he isn't committing the crimes himself, there's no pattern. If it's the second case, then I'm sorry—everyone's going to be busy. We'll need to dig through the old cases to find the answer."

"Impossible. Every crime has a pattern."

Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Li Tian, the way you talk, you sound more like a forensic examiner."

Li Tian said, "I don't believe it. That guy was killed, but he'll absolutely keep committing crimes. Absolutely, absolutely, he'll commit crimes."

Chen Fan said, "Anyway, my examination results are just this. You go investigate first—when something new comes up, come find us."

After Chen Fan left.

Li Tian and the Director exchanged a glance.

The Director said, "Chen Fan was thinking from the criminal's angle just now, wasn't he?"

Li Tian said, "Yes."

"Mm, add one more person around Zhang Tianxiong later. Four people on one person—I worry three won't be enough."

Li Tian said, "If I could, I'd want ten people tailing Chen Fan. But I don't think it'd do any good. That guy Chen Fan will absolutely still commit crimes."

Late at night.

The door to Li Tian's room was kicked open.

Chen Fan stared with bloodshot eyes and said, "Dammit…"

Li Tian said, "Are you out of your mind?"

Chen Fan handed Li Tian a piece of paper and said, "See for yourself. Someone delivered this… damn, inside my own room."
