At this moment, Xiao Yang who had just finished eating half his lunch box was kneeling at a crime scene next to a corpse, closely examining the victim's body, which had traces of scars and bruising. The murder happened in the victim's house, the victim's name was Zhong Zheng, a fifty-two-year-old, mid-level judge in the province. Due to the special identity of the victim, the police withheld information about this case from the press at this time.
Yan Cong, the man standing next to Xiao Yang also knelt down and swept his eyes over Zhong Zheng's bloody corpse, "He was probably cut thirty-six times. The cut at the throat was the fatal injury. The culprit obviously had an interest in torturing the victim, so the possibility of this murder being based on revenge is high."
Xiao Yang still observing the wounds added, "the weapon used was also a switch-blade."
"Are you thinking this case is related to the previous three cases?" Yan Cong asked, knitting his brows, he did not agree with his theory, "The technique used in the crimes are not the same. Even though the weapon used is the same, the previous three were killed in one move with a fatal cut at the throat. Besides, other than their occupation they do not have anything in common, they also did not know each other. It's more likely that this chain murderer randomly chooses their targets." After surveying the surroundings again, which held little clue, he rested his elbows on his knees as he said, "This one is different, the murderer chose to commit the crime when Zhong Zheng's wife and son were not home, almost as if he knew the movements of the family. Plus, the crime scene did not leave any evidence, and the body revealed signs of torture, this murder must have been planned."
"The victims in the previous three cases were a journalist, a newspaper editor, and a policeman. All the victims' jobs dealt with criminal cases. Zhong Zheng's court mostly oversees criminal cases as well, which also falls in the category of targets that the criminal has been targeting." Xiao Yang said as he continued to examine the cut of the wounds on the body, his face was void of any emotions as he calmly continued, "Even though the opponent was a fifty-something-year-old man, the culprit did not dare to be careless. The first cut at the throat was to kill, then followed by many cuts after to mutilate the corpse. Afterwards, they did not forget to clean up the crime scene. If this was their first time killing, they would not have been able to clean up the crime scene so perfectly."
The cut at Zhong Zheng's throat revealed the tissues, it was so cleanly cut just like as if it were ordinary skin, it was not hard for him to tell the culprit was fast and precise, "Besides, in these two months, all four murder weapons were a switchblade. If you say it's just a coincidence, not many will believe it."
"So what you're saying is, the first three murders were just the criminal practicing killing?" Yan Cong responded, and then after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded, "It's definitely reasonable, the first two victims were females. Their corpse showed signs of self-defense - which would be due to the culprit's imperfect planning or his hesitation, The third victim was a male and before he could even react he was killed - the culprit's moves were very decisive, they had matured."
Xiao Yang nodded and continued, "The first three murders ended with just one fatal wound on the throat, other than their occupations involving similar aspects, the criminal did not reveal any personal hatred." He finished as he emotionlessly pulled open the collar of the corpse and his eyes swept passed the cut near the collarbone, "On Zhong Zheng's body, there is an obvious venting of hatred."
"Zhong Zheng was the real target!" Yan Cong said, understanding the meaning behind his words. He quickly stood up and removed his gloves and said, "I will tell Xiao Lu and the others to go to Chen HaoXiang's place to check, his father Cheng Wen suddenly had a heart attack and died in prison a month ago. Which happened not long before the first murder." He quickly took out his phone as he dialed a number and he looked towards Xiao Yang, "Last time in the newspaper, it stated that it was Zhong Zheng who judged Chen Wen's case that year. At the time Chen Wen was wrongly accused and now he died in prison, Chen HaoXiang definitely hates Zhong Zheng to death."
Seeing the other person did not say anything, Yan Cong proceeded to walk out the door on his phone.
After thinking for a bit, Xiao Yang also stood up and removed the gloves and took out his phone. In his contacts, he found the number he had never called before and hit dial and put the phone to his ear. Not long after, it got picked up and without waiting for the other side to speak, he opened his mouth, " Qiao Yin."
