Although Feng Dali is not one of those literati who are full of nonsense, he also knows that the more knowledgeable a person is, the more serious he is about words. There should not be too many literati who suddenly start fighting while discussing academic matters!
He had even followed a case in which a scholar accidentally killed someone after an argument at a poetry gathering!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he couldn't help but look at Su Liuyue with anticipation.
Su Liuyue couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your idea is good, but... if the murderer just wanted to find someone to discuss the contents of a book, why would he go to so much trouble to help the deceased put on a wedding dress? Moreover, why did he specifically look for such a young woman with a miserable life?
Besides, Miss Zhong could read and write because she came from a wealthy family and received a good education since childhood. But in ordinary families, not to mention girls, even boys might not have the opportunity to learn to read.
Madam Mei who died in the previous case probably didn’t know many words…”
As soon as Su Liuyue finished speaking, Lu Lu hurriedly said, "It is true! When I went to check Madam Mei's room, I found several account books written by Madam Mei. There were many typos in them, and the words were even written crookedly. It really doesn't look like someone who has received a good education."
The prerequisite for making friends through reading books is that the other person must also be a knowledgeable person!
Feng Dali was confused again. "Then... what did the murderer do to the two victims before killing them? He couldn't have talked to them about his ideal life, right?"
"Who said it's impossible?"
Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows again and suddenly asked, "Why do you think the murderer wanted to dress the two dead people in wedding gowns?"
The bright red wedding dress on the deceased was the most striking feature of this case. People in Jingzhao Prefecture had already discussed it several times, and now they all said in unison: "Is this a ghost marriage?"
"It's also possible that the murderer was attracted by the beauty of the deceased and wanted the deceased to marry him! After all, the two deceased were both very good-looking, not to mention Miss Zhong."
"Are you crazy? Of the two deceased women, one was already married and had two children, and the other... had a complicated background and was closely monitored by Li Erlang. Even if they were willing to marry him, they couldn't do it!"
"Even if the murderer really... is in desperate need of love, and the other person doesn't want to be loved, any normal person would give up, but he just killed the person directly!"
Su Liuyue listened to their discussion to this point, smiled faintly, raised her voice slightly and said: "Okay, I understand everyone's thoughts. Everyone has their own ideas, but the common point is that everyone thinks that the murderer's behavior is related to marriage.
After all, wedding dress is an all too typical feature.
In addition, the way the murderer killed the victim is also thought-provoking. "
As Su Liuyue spoke, she slowly walked to Miss Zhong who was lying on the bed, circled the knife stuck in her body, and said, "Just like Feng Dali said, the murderer would rather suppress his emotions and insist on killing by stabbing the knife into the victim's chest.
And the place where the knife was inserted was the dead man’s heart.”
The knife pierced the victim's heart directly, and he died almost instantly.
This way of killing is quick and clean, and the deceased won't even suffer too much pain.
This further shows that the murderer did not intend to torture the deceased.
He insisted on killing people in this way because he had another purpose.
Su Liuyue pursed her lips and said, "The heart can refer to a person's emotions or consciousness. The murderer did this to accuse the deceased of having no heart.
The deceased, or the person on whom the murderer placed his hopes, may have once caused him harm, abandoned him, or trampled on his feelings.
I think this case is a murder of passion.”
Everyone was startled.
But because of the bright red wedding dress on the deceased, many people had thought so before, but they didn't dare to make a judgment. Sun Zhaoan couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "If it's according to what Miss Su San said, the murderer might have really communicated with them before killing the two deceased. He regarded them as the woman who had hurt him before, and vented his anger and questioning towards that woman on them.
But... for the two dead, they must have been very confused and couldn't even understand the pain of the murderer."
This also explains why the murderer lost control and strangled them, almost strangling them to death.
Su Liuyue nodded and suddenly said, "In summary, the murderer committed this series of crimes because of the emotional trauma he had suffered. Judging from the type of victims he was looking for, he would not be very old, probably between 25 and 30 years old, and his family opened a clothing store or was engaged in a job related to sewing clothes.
Judging from Miss Zhong's situation, she took the initiative to let the murderer into her room. Regardless of her feelings towards the murderer, it shows that the murderer is a person who can easily gain the trust of others. Therefore, he may look handsome, gentle and careful, and very deceptive.
Although I only had a general understanding of Madam Mei's situation, Madam Mei, who went to the bun shop to help out almost every day, suddenly said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go home. There happened to be no one else at home except a one-year-old child. I think this is probably not a coincidence."
"what do you mean……"
Lu Lu asked, "Did Madam Mei know in advance that the murderer would come to their house?"
"Based on Miss Zhong's situation, this is indeed possible. Judging from the fact that the murderer was able to make a wedding dress that would fit Miss Mei, they must have had contact before."
Su Liuyue said calmly: "Now, the biggest question is - where did the murderer get in touch with these two victims? In other words, how does the murderer usually find victims that meet his requirements?"
Such typical serial killers usually have their own way of finding victims.
If we can find that method, we will be close to finding the murderer!
"Miss Zhong must have met the murderer when she sneaked out more than half a month ago, but no one knows where she went during the half hour she was missing."
Lu Lu said quickly, "But there are many people who know Madam Mei's whereabouts. I think we can start with Madam Mei! Although Miss Zhong was wearing Mi Li that day, this kind of dress itself is very eye-catching. I think we can also send people to the places that Miss Zhong went to more than half a month ago to see if anyone has seen her during the half hour she disappeared!"
Su Liuyue nodded approvingly and said, "By the way, we also need to find someone to check the book that the murderer took away. Miss Chunxia has seen that book, so she can help us look for it."
"Correct!"
The originally messy case seemed to have a direction for investigation all of a sudden. Lu Route's eyes lit up and he felt all the energy in his body rise up. He quickly ran out and arranged people to do the work.
Chunxia, who was standing aside, stared in amazement at Su Liuyue, who was commanding the troops like a general on the battlefield. It was the first time she realized that there was such an intelligent woman in the world!
She originally thought that their girl was smart enough... No, this Miss Su San was just as smart as their girl, but in different ways.
If...if their girl had not experienced that disaster, if there was a place for her to display her talents, her girl would definitely not be too bad.
When Chunxia thought of this, her eyes and nose couldn't help but feel sore again.
Su Liuyue glanced at Chunxia secretly and sighed.
She also felt sorry for what happened to Miss Zhong, but this was no longer a simple life dilemma, but involved a political struggle.
If she were in Miss Zhong's position, she might not be able to be as strong as Miss Zhong.
With this faint sadness and helplessness, Su Liuyue walked out of this slightly depressing courtyard.
Before she even walked out of the door, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and her steps could not help but pause slightly. (End of this chapter)
