Chapter 158 Another Little Boy

Random killings are the most annoying cases for criminal police.

The time is random, the place is random, and the dead are also random.

There is no logic that can link the dead to the murderer, which means that according to the normal investigation mode, it is difficult to directly lock the scope of the murderer.

This leads to the case often reaching a dead end after a period of investigation.

This is how Cen Lian felt when he read the file of the case ten years ago on the road the next day.

All the relatives and friends of the parents of the deceased and even the owner of the convenience store who had quarreled with him were investigated in detail, but in the end they were all proved to have no time and motive for committing the crime.

After the case reached a dead end, the Tashan Municipal Bureau even tried to invite experts from the provincial department. Although some new clues were found under the guidance of the experts, the murderer was still not identified.

The professor of criminal psychology profiled the murderer and obtained a feature that many criminals have.

For example, the original family was unfortunate, such as thin stature, and the marriage life was not smooth.

Especially the first one, almost every serial murder case and perverted killer can have similar problems.

However, there was one line in the psychological profile that interested Cen Lian very much.

"The murderer may have genital worship?" Cen Lian looked at this sentence in the psychological profile, "When he first dissected the body, he dissected the other parts of the victim's body very roughly, but from the remaining bones, only the part of the bones where the male genitals were located was very carefully and completely separated."

"Is there such a worship?" Although Tang Hua was driving, his ears were not idle. When he heard Cen Lian say this, he didn't even bother to check the speedometer and drove the car directly.

"Drive carefully," Wang Yuanteng was sitting behind Tang Hua, "What's so strange about this? Most people like this are not normal in their brains. It's normal for him to worship cockroaches."

Tang Hua said, but it was obvious that he wanted to continue gossiping.

"That's all the autopsy and profile. I have one thing I can't figure out now. Why did he dump the bodies in a truck carrying sheep and dogs, and put clothes on the animals?" Cen Lian looked through the psychological profile to see if the criminal psychology expert could give any guesses. Who would have thought that the expert recorded the murderer's behavior very realistically and said that he didn't understand what kind of psychology it was.

Yuan Chenxi and Lin, the forensic doctor, were sitting in the back row. When Cen Lian talked about clothes, they finally spoke.

"The platform said that after work in the morning, the customer information of the clothes purchased in Tashan City will be sent over. It will probably be available in a while," she leaned on the back seat drowsy, but her brain did not stop thinking, "The murderer might have done it on purpose, deliberately putting clothes on the animals and then putting part of the corpse in the car, so that our attention would be attracted and he could deal with the corpses with his own traces."

Cen Lian actually thought about this possibility.

But ten years later, the Tashan Municipal Bureau has never been able to find the rest of the body.

It was lunch time when we drove from Kang'an City to Tashan City. We had lunch at a small restaurant and then went to the Tashan City Bureau to find Yan Zhan.

This nearly 40-year-old captain seemed to be under a lot of pressure recently, and he exuded the aura of "don't mess with me".

"Hello, Yan Da, I'm Cen Lian." Cen Lian introduced himself as usual.

He noticed that Yan Zhan looked at him with undisguised admiration.

"Captain Cen, I've heard of your name a long time ago," Yan Zhan lost his previous aura of being ready to curse when he spoke to Cen Lian, and even smiled a little, "Your support squadron has a 100% case-solving rate so far, and you can also solve major cases. You are indeed young and promising."

Cen Lian was a little embarrassed by his praise.

"Yan Da is too polite," he quickly said a few humble words, "We are just lucky."

Tang Hua laughed at the side, and silently added in his heart: In fact, we are strong enough.

Wu Qiushan also greeted Yan Zhan, and then began to talk about the case.

"Let's talk in our team." Yan Zhan took them to the small meeting room of the first team.

Cen Lian received many curious looks on the way.

"I heard that you have new clues?" Yan Zhan also seemed a little impatient.

This case is among the top five unsolved homicide cases in the city bureau. Both the severity and the murder method are extremely brutal.

The support squadron is famous for its 100% case-solving rate. This time may be the best time for this case to be solved.

"Based on the clothes, we have basically determined the victim this time." Cen Lian motioned Yuan Chenxi to come forward to explain.

After Yuan Chenxi went to work on the platform in the morning, he got a list of all users who had purchased this dress in Tashan City. After contacting and communicating one by one, only a six-year-old boy named Yang Linxuan was missing.

"Yang Linxuan, male, from Changyi County, Tashan City, was just six years old when he went missing." Yuan Chenxi posted Yang Linxuan's photo on the whiteboard, "We have contacted his parents to come to the Municipal Bureau as soon as possible for DNA testing."

The little boy in the photo smiled very brightly and was dressed quite fashionably, and it can be seen that his family is relatively wealthy.

"According to his parents, Yang Linxuan went missing after carrying a lantern on the Lantern Festival. After calling the police, they searched within his possible range of activities, but did not find him."

After Yuan Chenxi finished speaking, the current situation of the case became clear.

"It has been more than a month since the child disappeared. It is obvious that the body is not naturally ossified," Lin, a forensic doctor, said very naturally, "There are no signs of dismemberment on the bones we found, so we speculate that this murderer may not be committing a crime for the first time in ten years."

This is the result of their discussion in the car.

"It is indeed too clean," Yan Zhan's expression became serious after reading the autopsy report given by Lin, "In the case ten years ago, the decomposition of the remaining bones was very rough, so we easily found the identity of the victim based on some characteristics. If it weren't for the special characteristics of the victim's clothes this time, I guess the identity of the victim would be difficult to confirm."

Cen Lian thought of the files of the murder case he had read ten years ago.

"The deceased also disappeared at a lantern festival ten years ago," he said, looking at the victim's parents' statements. "The big market in the countryside is just as lively as the Lantern Festival."

"Yes, this is the biggest similarity between the two cases." Yan Zhan nodded after hearing this. "The murderer may be a vendor who often attends the gathering."

In this way, there are new clues to the cases ten years ago and ten years later.
