Chapter 21 Why Chop Hands?

Zhao Yu was determined to fight to the end with Qu Ping's group. So he has been staying at his desk since then, earnestly eavesdropping on every move of Group B, not even delaying the time to go to the bathroom.

As expected, Qu Ping paid great attention to the latest clues Zhang Jingfeng and Liang Huan found, and immediately invested in the investigation of the source of the single light film.

There are very few purchase channels for that kind of single-light film, and within a few hours, they found all the recent buyers. Immediately afterwards, they conducted non-stop investigations on these buyers, and team leader Qu Ping sent out almost all the people in the team.

However, after the investigation results came out one after another at night, the depressing news came one after another.

It turned out that this kind of single-light film, without exception, was purchased by performing troupes, some were used for magic tricks, and some were used to make stage props.

Although there are only a few theater troupes to buy, the purchase volume of each theater troupe is very large.

According to the person in charge, although this kind of single-light film is not cheap, it is useless to ordinary people, so there is no special person in the troupe to take care of it, and it is usually left in the warehouse behind the stage. Whether it is an employee of the unit, an actor who is on stage, or even an audience who accidentally passes by, it is possible to steal a few dollars.

Such a chaotic situation, if it is really investigated, the workload can be imagined. From this point of view, this clue still cannot continue, and the clue is interrupted again.

Upon receiving this news, no matter Qu Ping and her team members, even Zhao Yu, the eavesdropper, felt very depressed.

It seemed that they still underestimated the ability of this murderer. This guy is so thoughtful and impeccable, he is simply a criminal genius!

Although the clues of the single-light film failed, Qu Ping did not give up completely, but left two detectives to continue the investigation, and the others all returned to the team to wait for orders.

This time, Qu Ping undoubtedly felt a lot of pressure. If the chopping case is still not resolved, she is likely to follow in the footsteps of the former team leader and be forced to transfer.

However, Qu Ping had already tried her best and screened almost all the clues carefully, but until now, let alone catching the murderer, she couldn't even describe the basic characteristics of the murderer. This was unique among the cases she had investigated before.

Gradually, the clock moved towards the early morning. Although Qu Ping and the others were still doing tireless analysis, there were fewer and fewer people talking.

In the office of Group A where Zhao Yu worked, he was the only one left alone. He lay on his desk and waited for a long time, but he couldn't hear much movement from the bug. It seems that Qu Ping and the others are almost at the end of their rope.

Grandma is a bear!

Zhao Yu turned around and stared at his whiteboard seriously.

But I saw a clear "4.26" written in the center of the whiteboard. This number represents April 26th. The first case of chopping hands last year occurred on April 22, and five days later, on April 26, the second case of chopping hands occurred.

Coincidentally, this year's latest hand chopping case also happened on April 22. Therefore, the detectives are worried, will this year be the same as last year, and on the 26th, there will be a fourth case?

If there is a fourth case of chopping hands, the consequences will be quite serious. There will inevitably be an uproar in the public opinion circle, and these front-line police detectives will also be criticized. Now the whole situation is shrouded in a heavy mist.

It was already past midnight, and it was now April 25th. If the murderer was really planning to commit another crime, then the time left for them was really running out.

This murderer... who is it?

Zhao Yu scratched his head, still thinking about the case all the time.

In fact, regarding this case, apart from copying the ideas of Qu Ping and others, Zhao Yu also

They also have their own different views.

He always had an unformed thought that the reason why the case had not been solved for so long might not be because the murderer was too cunning, but because some subjective understanding of Qu Ping and the others had gone awry.

For example, although Qu Ping and the others didn't say it clearly, they had already assumed that the murderer was a man by default!

Because in the first case, the murderer directly dragged the victim into the power distribution cabin in the underground passage in public. There is also the use of a sharp weapon to chop off people's hands. If the murderer is a woman, it may be very difficult to do.

But... what if they were wrong?

What if the murderer is not a man?

Take today's single-light film for BMW cars as an example. The murderer used such an advanced film that even the outline was not captured by the surveillance camera.

So...why doesn't the murderer even want to be photographed?

Could it be... His outline would reveal something?

For example...it will be revealed that she is a——woman! ?

In addition, there is another point, Zhao Yu also thinks that Qu Ping and the others are biased, and that is the murderer's purpose!

So far, the murderer cut off the right hands of three women, but...why did he cut off their hands?

Qu Ping and others have always believed that the victims of the hand chopping case were randomly selected by the murderer. There is no direct grievance between the murderer and the victim!

The reason is simple and sufficient, that is, the three victims did not know each other, not only were they not classmates, they were not even in the same school.

Worried that she might make a mistake in her judgment, Qu Ping went out of her way to check whether the three of them knew anything in common, but after investigation, although there were one or two, they were all very distant and worthless.

Since there was no grievance, Qu Ping took it for granted that the hand chopping case was categorized as a psychological deformity wounding case, thinking that the murderer had some kind of psychological shadow, for example, the wife spent money to prodigal, and the husband became sick, so he committed the murder.

However, Zhao Yu didn't think so.

Although he has never been a policeman, but from the perspective of certain issues, he is not inferior to the police at all.

For example, although the three victims did not know each other, they were all different in stature, appearance, body shape, clothes worn at the time of the crime, hair length, and each other's occupations, etc.

These three people are only similar in gender, age and family conditions, and have nothing else in common.

Zhao Yu felt that if the murderer really had a tendency to pervert, he should at least choose a victim with a similar appearance. For example, if you want to chop off your wife because she spends money to prodigal, then you must at least find someone who is similar to his wife, right?

What's more, according to the data, although the three victims' families were wealthy, they did not have the habit of spending money lavishly.

Because of this, Zhao Yu doubted Qu Ping's judgment.

What if the murderer wasn't mentally deformed?

Due to Zhao Yu's special work before crossing, he had seen many vendettas and bloody revenge.

For some reason, he always felt that the chopping case in front of him was very similar to those bloody revenge. The murderer chopped off their hands, not because of some personal preference or mental deformity, but for revenge!

The reason why Zhao Yu thinks so is not a random guess, but a very rewarding reason—reason!
