On The Day Of My 100th Blind Date, I Arrested My Date

Chapter 14

A new murder had happened in the same teaching building in Lianhai University, but in a classroom on a different floor.

Zhang Yunhu, Chen Yan, Liu Qingshan, and the other members of the task force arrived at the scene.

“The murderer… is he provoking us?!” Liu Qingshan’s eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling.

“How is that possible?”

“This murderer must be a madman!”

…

Lividity was not enough to describe Zhang Yunhu’s expression.

He had been a police officer for eighteen years, but he had never encountered such a situation.

At this moment, Chen Yan’s face was also extremely cold.

Looking at the scene in front of him that was exactly the same as the murder scene yesterday, smelling the scent that was almost the same as the crime scene yesterday, Chen Yan knew that the rubber gloves were clues that the murderer had left behind on purpose.

“Is it because traces of the drug will definitely be detected, so it doesn’t matter even if the gloves that came into contact with the drug were thrown away?”

“Team one, investigate the scene. The rest of the teams, carry out your respective duties according to yesterday’s arrangements. The two cases will be handled together! Team two, while investigating Lin Chao’s background, pay attention to whether there is any connection between Lin Chao and the victim today. The other teams, gather in the meeting room in three hours to report your findings.”

As the leader of the task force, Chen Yan was now the person who issued the highest order.

“Captain Zhang, please report the situation here first. Master and I will go and look for the rubber gloves that the murderer threw away yesterday.”

Zhang Yunhu nodded. “Chen Yan, don’t put yourself under too much pressure. We believe in you!”

Chen Yan nodded and led Liu Qingshan out of the classroom.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the rubber gloves were easily found.

This time, because the time between the murder and the discovery of the gloves was short, the scent of the drug was much stronger. Chen Yan found the rubber gloves used to commit the crime in a trash can 300 meters outside the classroom.

Two identical crime scenes.

Both had human skin crosses… kneeling bodies… and the wild rose bloodstain pattern!

What exactly did this mean?

What was the connection between the victim from yesterday, Lin Chao, and the victim today?

Chen Yan had already reexamined the scene in his mind for an entire night. He believed he hadn’t missed any details.

The minute he laid eyes on today’s crime scene, he had activated his olfactory and visual genes, but his findings were the same as yesterday — Under the smell of blood, there was only the smell of alcohol and Succinylcholine.

Eleven o’clock, in the team meeting room.

It had been three hours since the second case had been reported to the police.

“The higher-ups are taking this case very seriously!” As the team captain, Zhang Yunhu was in charge of the case analysis meeting.

“To help us solve the case as soon as possible, the captain of the city search and arrest team and the relevant leaders will participate in our analysis meeting via video.”

In the video, a big shot who Lian City police all knew said, “We will be participating in the case analysis meeting this time, but we’re only here to watch and listen. You don’t have to mind.”

Zhang Yunhu saluted, “Next, we will ask the leader of the task force, Comrade Chen Yan, to make the arrangements.”

Chen Yan and the other police of the search and arrest team did not know that the higher-ups would be participating in the case analysis meeting.

It made sense, though. After all, two lives had been lost, and the murders had happened on a university campus. The scenes had been extremely tragic, and it was a serial murder, so the higher-ups would definitely take it seriously.

However, Chen Yan couldn’t care less who was participating in the analysis. He just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible!

“Each team will report the results of your investigations separately. Team one will go first,” Chen Yan did not waste any time and immediately arranged for the reports to be made.

“The scenes of both murders are almost identical. Human skin crosses, kneeling bodies, and messy bloodstains.”

Team one’s team members did not have Chen Yan’s Freeze-Frame, nor had their visual gene been activated, so they did not know that the bloodstains were in the form of a wild rose.

“Leader, you have found the two pairs of rubber gloves that had been used to commit the crimes. The technical analysis on the gloves has been completed, and now, the source of Succinylcholine is being investigated…”

“Team two, report.”

“The identity investigation of the deceased. The first victim, Lin Chao, male, 20 years old. A third-year student majoring in clinical medicine at Lianhai University… Has basketball as a hobby, is quite eloquent… Family background…”

“The second victim, Wang Xuefeng, male, 23 years old. A second-year master’s majoring in computer science at Lianhai University… Has chess as a hobby, is quite eloquent… Family background…”

“Both have simple family backgrounds, basically excluding the possibility that they were killed for family reasons.”

“After interviews, it is preliminarily determined that the two did not have interactions on studies, and the other students have reported that the two did not know each other…”

“Team three, report.”

“The cause of the failure of the school’s surveillance video has been found. The surveillance system at Lianhai University is of the same circuit and is centrally controlled. Due to the main wire in the surveillance room having been gnawed through by a rat, the surveillance system has been rendered ineffective. Moreover, because the wire is imported, it can only be replaced after three days…”

…

The six teams reported while Chen Yan analyzed.

Lin Chao… Wang Xuefeng…

Human skin cross… kneeling body… wild rose!

And the surveillance system failure…

All of this must not be a coincidence.

Why were the murders such?

The murderer had committed crimes for two consecutive days in the same teaching building.

Was it really to provoke the police?

No, no, no!

Judging from the crime scene, the murderer had a high IQ and meticulous thoughts.

If the murderer wanted to provoke the police, it would probably be better to kill two police instead of two students.

Then why did the other party do as they did?

There must be a reason for it.

At this moment, Chen Yan’s brain was working rapidly. As he absorbed the information from the reporting teams, he began to simulate the crime.

Yes, simulate the crime.

In his previous life, the reason why Chen Yan had been able to solve so many important cases was not only because he had the Freeze-Frame ability, but also because he was very good at simulating the crime.

Through simulating the crime, he could think through and discover details that outsiders could not think of.

If he was the murderer, what should he do?

“I” have to kill Lin Chao and Wang Xuefeng.

Not only must “I” kill them, but “I” also have to peel off their skin and nail them in the shape of a cross, make their bodies kneel in repentance, and smear their blood in the form of a wild rose…

Boom!

A bright light flashed through Chen Yan’s mind.

Kneel on the ground and repent?

Jesus was nailed to the cross. Why?

It was for redemption.

Why would people kneel?

It was for repentance.

The wild rose’s flower language was… repentance!

“I” have irreconcilable funds with Lin Chao and Wang Xuefeng, and “I” want them to repent forever!

Why did those two university students have a feud with “me”?

There was definitely a motive for killing.

Those who casually chopped people were lunatics.

But why did these two unrelated students have a feud with “me”?

The motives for murder were nothing more than a few types, namely conflicts of interest, emotional disputes, and revenge killings.

For two university students whose monthly expenses were only a few thousand yuan, there should be no conflict of interest to speak of.

The other two were emotional disputes and revenge killings.

If it were due to emotional disputes, the two could be “my” ex-boyfriends who played with “my” feelings, thus “I” killed them!

But, was there a need to skin the victims and make them repent?

Moreover, killing two ex-boyfriends consecutively?

If “I” did it out of a motive of revenge killings…

Hmm? Wait a minute!

Two images suddenly flashed in Chen Yan’s mind.

The two human skin crosses and the directions of their eyes. The two bodies were not kneeling in random directions, but in the same direction!

…

“The two victims’ cell phones have not been found. The parents have been notified. Now, please make a summary and issue the work arrangements, Leader Chen Yan.”

As soon as Zhang Yunhu finished speaking, Chen Yan had also finished running his crime simulation.
