Chapter 72: First Criminal Psychological Profile (Update )
Because the cost of escaping is too high, many women who enter brothels do not dare to run away even if they are unwilling to do so.
The longer one stays in the brothel, the more numb one becomes, and the less courage one has to run away.
Sun Zhaoan couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Su is right. I remember the girl's name was Yingming. She used to be a rich lady, but her family fell into poverty and she was sold by her family to pay off the debt. She had been in Wanhua Tower for less than a year.
She escaped by disguising herself as a servant girl who was out shopping. It is said that when the gatekeeper was about to question her, a tree in Wanhua Tower suddenly caught fire, distracting the gatekeeper, and Yingming escaped successfully.
The other girls in Wanhua Tower said that she had been unhappy since she entered the tower. She still rejected it in her heart, but they were still very surprised that she would run away.
Her family members are not good people. If she dares to run back home, her family will sell her again. As a weak woman with no one to rely on, even if she can run away successfully, her life will not necessarily be better than in Wanhua Tower. "
"this means."
Su Liuyue said word by word: "She finally made up her mind to escape because she was persuaded by the murderer. The murderer must have known her before, and it is very likely that he was her frequent visitor in Wanhua Tower.
At that time, it was only because the murderer cooperated with her that she was able to escape so smoothly."
“That’s what we thought at the time!”
Sun Zhaoan nodded repeatedly and said, "It's just that Yingming had been in Wanhua Tower for almost a year, and she had received hundreds of guests, if not dozens. It's basically impossible to check them all.
Not to mention, some guests who enter such places are unwilling to reveal their names, or simply use pseudonyms. We only focused on investigating a few regular guests of Yingming at the time, but when Yingming was killed, they all had very strong alibis. "
Su Liuyue suddenly asked: "What was your definition of a regular customer at that time?"
What is the definition of a frequent visitor?
Sun Zhaoan was stunned and said, "That's right... there are customers who have visited Yingming at least three times. Yingming is beautiful, and she went to school when she was young, so she can read and write, and can also compose poems and essays. She is quite talented, so many customers come back to visit her.
If she wanted to investigate even the customers who had only visited her twice or thrice, that would mean a lot of people to check. And as I just said, it's not easy to find everyone.
Customers who visit Yingming more than three times are usually frequent brothels. They are either officials or young masters in the capital. It is easy to find such people. "
Su Liuyue nodded and said in a deep voice: "So, the murderer is most likely among those guests who have visited Yingming twice or three times, and he only used these few meetings to successfully convince Yingming to run away with him."
However, now that a year has passed, it is even more impossible to find out who Yingming had received at that time.
The other yamen runners were not in the room just now, so they did not hear the conversation between Sun Zhaoan and Su Liuyue.
They listened in a daze until they finally understood what Monkey King meant: a similar case had happened a year ago!
Feng Dali couldn't help but say, "Damn it, how come this murderer disappeared for a while for no reason? Could it be that he is the same as Chang Youde and his son? The previous murderer died a year ago, and now there is a new murderer?"
Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Feng Dali, and said, "There are many reasons why the murderer suddenly disappeared for a while. The death of the original murderer is only one of them. It is also possible that the murderer could not commit crimes again a year ago due to something, such as illness, changes in life, or was locked up and could not move freely. There was only a year between these cases. I tend to think that the murderer did not change, but something happened a year ago that made him temporarily stop committing crimes."
Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What on earth happened to pin down such a cruel murderer for a whole year?
Su Liuyue paused and continued, "As for what happened to the murderer, I can't make any inferences based on the current situation. In fact, there are very few things we can infer at the moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Feng Dali in front of her suddenly looking at her expectantly. Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and then she heard him excitedly say: "Young Master Su, are you going to start again?"
You know, now when he is investigating a case, what he looks forward to most is the part where Miss Su rattles off a bunch of characteristics of the murderer as if by magic!
Su Liuyue immediately understood what Feng Dali meant, raised her lips in amusement, sorted out her thoughts, and said: "I can only make a rough criminal psychology profile now, which may not have a significant impact on the case.
The murderer comes from a poor family. Judging from his familiarity with these marginal areas of the outer city, he probably also lives on the edge of the outer city and has the same temperament as the people here, so his walking here will not attract the attention of the people nearby.
The murderer suffers from some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder... that is, he suffers from a very serious cleanliness disorder. He cannot stand seeing himself or others with a little dirt on them. Therefore, he usually keeps himself very clean and tidy. People who know him might say that he is a polite, sensible, and very decent-looking person.
The murderer has a high IQ and is very good at sweet talk. He has a special attraction to women. Therefore, he can make a woman fall in love with him and willingly fall into his sweet trap after only meeting her a few times.
His cleanliness disorder was probably not innate, but was formed by some kind of stimulation. Before killing the victim, he used such an extreme method to clean her and made her kowtow to him for mercy. It can be seen that he was very inferior in his heart. He may have worked as a cleaner in the past, and was despised for being dirty and even humiliated because of this job, which stimulated him to become so extreme.
After killing the victim, he left her body in a humiliating position of kneeling and kowtowing, which was also intentional. These actions could satisfy him and help him regain his self-confidence.
Everyone once again experienced the wonderful feeling of the murderer's image slowly emerging in their minds.
but……
Lu Lu couldn't help but say, "There are tens of thousands of people living in this area on the edge of the outer city. Finding the murderer among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Another yamen runner couldn't help but say, "And there are too many people who have done cleaning work, including the janitors who are responsible for washing pots and pans in restaurants, the servants who are responsible for cleaning in the homes of wealthy families, and even the people hired by the Street Department to clean the streets. They all meet this requirement."
Coincidentally, most of these people live in the area on the edge of the outer city.
Feng Dali immediately glared at them. It was amazing that Miss Su could deduce so many things from such a small number of clues, and they actually had the nerve to look down on her!
Su Liuyue didn't mind, and spread his hands and said: "So I said, what we can know now is very limited, I can only make a rough inference.
There is one more thing that has been on my mind since a while ago and I have been thinking about it.”
Feng Dali asked quickly: "What is it?"
