Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 772 - 523 Extra Psychological Profiling (3)
Bai Ye had no chance to interject, so he simply remained silent.
Qiao Xiaoyan added, "Based on the marks on Chen Hui’s body, the technique was indeed very professional. A doctor, a forensic doctor, or a butcher could all be possible suspects. I tend to think it’s a highly-educated butcher, because of the rose flower. If it’s a butcher who only knows about slaughtering animals and has no cultural knowledge, why would he place a budding rose in the secret parts of a woman?"
Su Tianqing immediately retorted, "What if there is more than one killer! One responsible for disemboweling and the other for placing the rose..."
Bai Ye frowned and pondered, "If that’s the case, the case becomes even more elusive! It feels like we can’t grasp a central point."
Gan Zi noted in his notebook, "Here we retain two opinions and will further analyze other evidence to see which one it points to. Officer Bai, you go first and check on all doctors and butchers in the town, their whereabouts on the night of the 3rd, and also send a colleague to City A where Chen Hui worked, to check among her acquaintances if there are doctors, forensic doctors, or butchers."
Bai Ye immediately took action: "In City A, it might be a bit troublesome since she was involved in unsavory activities. If among her clients there are these professionals, they won’t leave their real identity information."
"I know, but whatever we find will help," Gan Zi nodded.
Qiao Xiaoyan stopped Bai Ye who wanted to leave, adding, "The killer used a condom during the crime, which makes me think that he’s probably not a rural butcher, as condoms are not widespread in rural areas."
Bai Ye and Qiao Xiaoyan, being unmarried and unattached young people, found this discussion somewhat embarrassing.
Gan Zi was listening intently, showing his professionalism.
"However, at the forensic site, I saw that no condoms were left behind! This means the killer took it with him when he left," Gan Zi said, "The killer was calm and composed during the crime, even took care of disposing of the body, his psychological resilience is incredibly strong!"
"Wait a minute..." Su Tianqing caught a detail, "The missing golden necklace cannot rule out another person entering the crime scene before us. That means, if it wasn’t one of the killers who took the necklace, then perhaps someone else had come to the crime scene and took both the necklace and the condom!"
"However, why would he steal the condom along with the necklace?" Song Ziyu immediately raised a doubt, "Moreover, as the crime scene was devastatingly horrifying and unbearable to witness, who would dare to tear off the necklace from Chen Hui’s neck? That would be an extremely deranged person!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Qiao Xiaoyan also nodded, "This detail needs to be thoroughly analyzed. Professor Gan, you haven’t spoken yet!"
Gan Zi glanced at Song Ziyu, his eyes momentarily gentle even though he was fully focused on the case.
Gan Zi said, "Unless driven to desperation, no one would dare snatch a necklace from such a corpse. Of course, a purely money-driven person wouldn’t take a used condom! It’s very likely that the killer took the condom, indicating he has counter-investigative awareness, knowing that it would leave direct evidence for us."
"Now let’s combine everything into a criminal psychological profile: male, aged between 30 to 50, with a higher education level, having certain counter-investigative awareness, or someone who loves mystery TV shows and novels, possibly currently or previously employed as a doctor, forensic doctor, or involved in slaughtering professions."
"In real life, he is a very disciplined and organized person, rigid and methodical, also very approachable," Gan Zi continued, "He has suffered serious emotional or psychological trauma earlier, but never received proper treatment, and at some point, his old wounds were triggered, leading him to completely snap and commit murder, even to the extent of disemboweling."
"Additionally, he gives roses to women as his trademark of committing the crime; actually, roses are common gifts among lovers, indicating that after killing and disemboweling a woman, he harbors affection towards women, hence the flowers as a gesture of sentiment. This suggests his polite demeanor towards women in real life!"
Bai Ye noted everything down: "I’ll get right on it!"
Qiao Xiaoyan followed, "I’ll come with you!"
"You should rest well!" Bai Ye looked at her, "Investigating cases is hard work!"
"I’ve got nothing else to do! If I get tired, I can sleep in the car," Qiao Xiaoyan said.
"Okay then!" Bai Ye nodded.
After Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye left, three people remained at the table.
Song Ziyu looked at Gan Zi, "Professor Gan, you can’t go back for a while, what will you do?"
"It’s okay!" Gan Zi said, "I won’t be at ease until this matter is settled."
"It’s not like you’re the only one who can do it!" Su Tianqing retorted provocatively.
Song Ziyu glanced at him, "Then go catch the murderer! What are you doing here?"
Su Tianqing was already feeling nauseous, of course he had to be here, otherwise, once he left, these two would start dating!
However, he couldn’t always scare this woman away, so he said, "I heard from Zhou Sheng that there has been some trouble with the handicrafts. As the Mayor, shouldn’t you go check it out? They are currently investigating and collecting evidence, there’s nothing for you to do here, why not go check on the handicrafts!"
Song Ziyu had indeed received a message from David in the morning, and just then, David also called her: "Ziyu, are you done with your things?"
"Is it serious? I’m coming over now!" Song Ziyu said.
David said, "It’s mainly about the style of the handicrafts, we’ve created several new styles, come take a look!"
"Didn’t I say that the first batch should all be carvings with Chinese elements and style?" Song Ziyu frowned, this side’s murder case was already giving her a headache, and David’s carvings were not giving her any peace of mind either.
Song Ziyu hung up the phone, then turned to Gan Zi: "Professor Gan, I’ll go check out the carving workshop first, thank you for your hard work here!"
"Okay!" Gan Zi saw her off.
Su Tianqing started the car, "Let’s go, I’ll take you there!"
Song Ziyu got into his car and as Su Tianqing drove away, he saw Gan Zi still standing at the original place through the rearview mirror.
Su Tianqing had his own plans; by keeping Gan Zi busy with this murder case, he would take Song Ziyu away from the scene.
Even when they got to the workshop, with David there, Su Tianqing felt he could outshine David in minutes.
Su Tianqing was not used to driving in the mountains, he was driving quite slowly.
Song Ziyu looked out of the window, and he handed her a bottle of water, "Here!"
Song Ziyu glanced at him, "Just focus on driving, this mountain road is steep, with abrupt turns and narrow paths."
"Don’t worry, with you in my car, I wouldn’t let you suffer even a bit of harm," Su Tianqing joked.
Song Ziyu took the water and then ignored him.
Su Tianqing played music in the car, the fluid music flowed, dissolving the awkward atmosphere in the car.
They arrived at the carving workshop.
Song Ziyu went straight to David, who was still eagerly showing off his masterpieces.
"David, I like all your artworks," she used the term ’artworks’ to summarize David’s pieces, "But I’ve said before, funding is a major issue! The initial investment must have immediate effects to attract a large number of investors to invest sincerely. If our first phase project doesn’t go well, not only will it fail to attract investors, but what if people withdraw their funding?"
David was happily inviting Song Ziyu to appreciate his work, but Song Ziyu, after all, had to consider from the business interest perspective and the perspective of the town’s residents, she wanted to grant them a happy life.
