Chapter 380 Mystery on the Beach (1)
This is the first time that everyone sits down in the conference room, waiting for Jiejie to arrive. Usually she is the one who organizes and copies the information and carefully divides it into folders. , and then everyone is called together.
Soon, the sound of hurried high-heeled shoes came from far away. Jiejie walked into the conference room quickly. She first showed an embarrassed stiff smile to everyone, and then glared viciously at the person who made her so embarrassed. someone.
After sending the copied information to everyone, turning on the projector, several photos of the crime scene appeared on the screen, and Jiejie began to introduce the case.
“At 11 o’clock last night, a group of young people gathered for a party on a beach in South Bay that has not yet been officially opened. One of the young couples discovered three bodies in a newly built lifeguard tower.< br>
The deceased were aged between 25 and 40 years old. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. The time of death ranged from two months to two weeks. It is worth noting that two of the bodies were wrapped in plastic film. ”
“Is it for practical purposes or does it have some symbolic meaning? Prevent blood from bleeding everywhere? "Emily asked.
Reed answered, "Or out of remorse, wrapping the body usually symbolizes the murderer's guilt. "
"So why wasn't the third body wrapped? "Jack turned the pen in his hand awkwardly. He had always been puzzled. He could clearly spin the kitchen knife in his hand, but why he couldn't do anything with a light water pen.
"Maybe the deceased was interested in the murderer. There was some special meaning, so he deliberately didn't wrap the body, or maybe some accident happened and he didn't have time to do so. "Rosie said slowly.
Hotchner turned over the information in his hand and frowned, "Have the identities of the three deceased persons not been identified yet?"
Garcia, who rarely appeared in the conference room, participated in the discussion of the case with everyone. He quickly raised his hand and said, "The police station in Praiaderi Town is limited in size, and what they usually deal with the most are petty thefts and drunken tourists.
These three corpses scared them a lot. We are currently checking vacant or abandoned watchtowers and lifeguard towers near the beach overnight.”
“I have just urged the local forensic office to send the collected fingerprints as a priority, and my computer is already executing the facial recognition program. , I hope there will be results when you get there."
"Jiejie, contact the state police and ask them to arrange police support from other areas. If the murderer is really a serial killer, then it is estimated. They are busy." Hotchner ordered.
"Well, there is another problem. According to the preliminary examination report of the forensic doctor, the three deceased people have lost their vital organs." Reid reminded.
Rosie took the report in his hand and muttered, "This may be the murderer trying to hide evidence of the crime or keep it for collection."
"Uh" Jack's mind was racing. He went through countless case materials that he had read, and then asked tentatively, "You mean, a homosexual killer like Jeffrey Dahmer?"
Jeffrey Dahmer's nickname " "The Ghoul of Milwaukee", Milwaukee is where he was born. According to the files, he murdered at least 17 young men, including boys, from 1978 to 1991.
He is the most notorious homosexual killer in the history of the Confederacy, whose crimes include killing corpses, cannibalizing corpses and punching holes in the top of his victims' heads while they are still alive, then
His confession material ranks at least in the top five disgusting levels among all the serial killer materials Jack has seen, and collecting body parts of victims is probably the least important of them.
"Perhaps, the report said that the murderer only castrated the victim after his death, which shows that his purpose was not to torture the victim." As the report was circulated among the people, ideas gradually opened up.
After flipping through the thin report, Emily continued to explain her thoughts, "And the cause of death was all shot to the head, which is very efficient."
"It can kill quickly. It’s not emotional, and there’s no excitement, right?” Jiejie said. Rhett nodded, "But castration has a strong emotional overtone. Maybe he is incompetent. He lacks ability, so he destroys the corpse to vent his anger."
"Or maybe there are other reasons. This case reminds me of the 'Butcher of the Bay' that appeared in Miami last year. I have always been somewhat doubtful about the motive of the murderer judged by the bureau." Rossi handed the information he had read to Huo China.
Jack's eyelids twitched. Miami and "Butcher of the Bay", didn't these two words point to the "bloodthirsty forensic doctor" Dexter Morgan?
He still remembered that when he first joined the LAPD, he looked up the name Dexter Morgan. He was indeed a bloodstain analyst for the Miami Police Department, but he didn’t pay much attention to this guy after that. Hasn't it already been exposed?
Jack was thinking of finding a chance to get to know this guy, a serial killer who lives in Miami and specializes in killing serial killers.
Although this man has killed a lot of people and his methods are a bit cruel, it seems that he really doesn’t have many innocent souls on his hands, they are all damned scum.
Jack had also thought that if one day there was a bad guy who was inconvenient to deal with but he really couldn't stand, he could pass it on to this person and treat it as a business introduction.
For example, Marla Grayson, who lives by sucking the flesh and blood of the elderly.
He secretly made a note in his mind that he would look into the "Butcher of the Bay" case when he had time. At this time, everyone ended the discussion for the time being, packed up and prepared to go.
Due to road conditions, it took two Saber buses nearly 2 hours to get there from Los Angeles to South Bay.
Walking into the small local police station, it was indeed a scene of people tumbling on their backs. Everyone was in a hurry. There were only a few police officers sitting in front of computers, and their phones kept ringing.
"Sorry, we just prepared a conference room for you, we are really busy." A young-looking police chief greeted everyone.
"Uh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Quinn Parker, in charge of this case. We just found another body in the lifeguard tower in Manhattan Beach."
Everyone in BAU was shocked. I shook hands with him, briefly introduced myself, and followed him into a neatly tidied conference room.
The LCD screen on the wall has been turned on, showing the latest progress of the case, with photos of the four corpses appearing on it.
Sheriff Quinn Parker stood in front of the screen and introduced to everyone.
"We just finished checking all the lifeguard towers on the South Bay beach overnight. This body appeared later. The forensic doctor judged from the liver temperature that the time of death was less than ten hours."
Hochner nodded, " The murderer knew that the previous place where the body was dumped was exposed and moved to another place. I suggest you increase the patrol time to once an hour and fine-tune the route.
The murderer is most likely a local and familiar with the situation around the beach. Maybe they are observing the progress of our investigation in the dark and adjusting the way they commit crimes."
The young police chief looked embarrassed. Jiejie had already guessed what he wanted to say, "We have coordinated with the state police to dispatch units for reinforcements. It should be in place soon.”
