Chapter 91. Induced case analysis meeting
There are a series of common points in all nightly vicious murders.
In the Elliot Bay corpse floating case, the deceased passed the bend at night and was a white-collar worker who often worked overtime.
In the murder case of Union Lake Park, the deceased was a museum security guard who frequently had night shifts and would drink at least two cans of Nestlé coffee every night, and the brand was confirmed.
The woman with a broken head on the forest trail and the repairman who was found in the sewer, one returned from a night shift, and the other also often worked. Including the albino repairman who was temporarily designated as the murderer of the broken head case, they were all night shifters and were extremely dependent on refreshing drinks such as coffee or Red Bull.
The corpses found in the alley in the middle of the night, college students and Amazon employees, one is a simple and enthusiastic coffee lover, and the other is a professional need. The common point between the two is that they both like the Chosen Coffee. The Walker Beef House case discovered at dawn in the middle of the night, first of all, he must have committed the crime late at night. At the same time, the on-site investigation proved that the kitchen of the beef house and the home store a large amount of Chosen Coffee.
Then now, Microsoft's product operations director was killed, and the time was also at night, which has been verified by the forensic doctor in the Redmond morgue. People who work often have night shifts and are also professional coffee dependents.
Solan naturally knew some of the truth, but in the end there was a mystery, let alone colleagues who knew nothing about them. People always had to have work in society. Although the real problems must be extrajudicial, he had to take some practical information in the end, otherwise he would have to remove the police badge and return home.
The real police officers are not as thrilling as the performances in film and television dramas. Most of the time, everyone is just sitting in the room and making crazy reasoning about existing clues. The so-called wonderful police and gangster drama is just to bring out the climax points.
"So, although Cloud's previous jokes are nonsense, they do make some sense."
In the office, at a case analysis meeting held quickly, Solan told all members: "The murderer of the night operation, the night shift crowd killed at night, considering O'Leyle Walker's bowdown, we have reason to suspect that this is an organized operation, that is, the existence of the serial killer alliance."
"Their purpose is not impossible to guess. We can use Walker's beef shop as a stronghold and easily conclude that this is a group of Hannibals in action. So the problem now is the real identity of these group of Hannibals, and the way they choose the victims."
Some things can be revealed. Although ogre cases are rare, they also exist. Moreover, there are countless perverts in the world that ordinary people cannot imagine, and they commit countless crimes that seem to exist only in thrillers. Civilians know nothing, but the police naturally have information and are well-informed.
"The following list is the exact social identity of the deceased found in the beef shop based on the relics in the storage room."
Shirley was responsible for distributing the information, while Solan directly preached: "They are obviously all acquaintances of Walker, including neighbors and clerks, and even parents and parents-in-law who come to visit. Mrs. Walker's interrogation continues, right, although there is no direct evidence yet, we all know that she cannot be an innocent person."
At this point, a cold snorted sound in the room. The Walker case was taken over by the headquarters of the Homicide Group, but the police station was only so big. Who among the task force could not understand the process of Mrs. Walker being interrogated? The "bitcher" who had always claimed that she was innocent, really thought that her little crappy and untrained quibbling could be hidden from the interrogator?
"Everyone is committing crimes. Walker is a stronghold type, and the other one is obviously a hunting type. So it's still the same question. How should we reverse the identity of the victim?"
Solving cases is his job, but Solan knew very well that at least two of them could not be revealed. He threw the floating corpse in Elliot Bay, and the Walker case directly involved the zombie world, so what he needed to do was mislead his colleagues and point the clues to a most appropriate scapegoat.
“So you think coffee is a key point?”
The question is Sato.
The whole audience was silent.
The task force meeting welcomed the visit of the police chief, which is extremely rare, but today's meeting is natural.
In two weeks, so many victims; one night, call the police once in the first half and the second half; just after noon, the body of the company was finally found last night, and Microsoft executives were brutally killed on their own territory. It is now on the eve of normal get off work. Before the meeting, everyone was dealing with the joint responsibilities of the governor and mayor, and now they have finally made room.
As the director who was directly trained and hated the most, how could Sato not join this meeting?
"We can review the homicide in the alleyway, which is a footprint model made by CSI."
This time, Solan was operating the computer and projecting the presentation onto the screen: "We initially suspected that a third party killed them, but the way of death was different, but this very different style was unreasonable unless there were two murderers."
"So please take a closer look at the way the footprints move. There are indeed two murderers, one of them is the deceased, which is also the conclusion drawn from the identification department." Looking at the audience's concentration, Solan revealed some facts and continued to guide them: "The person who cuts the head of a college student Jack Smith is obviously a pure third party. Let's talk about the relationship between the two dead."
"My girlfriend Nina and Jack Smith are classmates. Thanks to her help during the day today, I got first-hand information. Jack is an absolute coffee drinker. He often stays up late in the biology laboratory and drinks one liter of the Chosen Coffee every day. And this is the case..."
Solan presented a scanned manuscript to the big screen: "This is Nina's interview record. She is a part-time reporter. I'll explain it. According to Jack's classmates, he was originally interested in coffee, and his daily drinks were only one-third of the current one, and his brand was not limited. But after drinking the God-Selected One, he seemed completely addicted, and then the data we get now."
A very clear comparison table was unfolded, including the amount of drinking and brand identity. The conclusion was indeed clear at a glance. After trying the Chosen Coffee, Jack Smith suddenly became its enthusiast.
"Because of drinking too much coffee and overly excited, I chased another victim at night and caused a tear wound. This is a reasonable explanation. Of course, this is not enough to explain the problem of his head being cut, so please recall what did Shirley Haber and I find when we entered the sewer pipe in the city that day?"
Solan raised a question. Of course, he knew everything, but his colleagues who changed their thinking came to a consistent conclusion as they changed their words.
"Oh my god...this is so outrageous..."
"It's really hard to think of, but it makes sense. Don't you think it's really developing very fast?"
"Why did I think of that poisoning incident in Gotham..."
"So this is experience! You and I can't imagine it, but Adams..."
Finally, Sato raised his hand to calm the scene. After everyone was quiet, he looked at Solan deeply and asked word by word: "Is that crazy sewer repairman also addicted to drinking the God-Selected One?"
For a moment, the whole room was aimed at Solan.
He neither said yes nor denied it.
"I think it is necessary for us to investigate this company. Even if it is just a check on abnormal stimulants, it will be beneficial to divert public attention. Director Sato, the burden on the police is now unprecedented in the past five years. We should at least let everyone relax. What do you think?"
It is really hard to understand Sato's psychological activities at this moment. He does not have a gloomy face or a lot of relief. He just sits there without any expression of joy and anger, which really makes people's heart beat faster.
Chapter completed!
