After the EOD team arrived, Liang Xi and Bobby were expelled from the safe area. Fortunately, Baker was there to broadcast live. The EOD team was not sure whether it was a bomb, so they took the safest way and used

Sandbag to create a detonation point nearby, open the strap of the satchel to length, and remove the satchel.

After the satchel was sent to the detonation point, the robot opened the zipper of the satchel. It was a real thing, a real local product. It was a self-made bomb according to the instructions on the Internet. It was averagely powerful but unstable. There was no so-called sensor in it.

.But what surprised the EOD team was that this bomb made of rough material was very carefully laid out with various circuits and traps.

Taken together, this is a bomb that is not very powerful and difficult to dismantle. To dismantle the tube mine requires a lot of manual risks. The circuit of the tube mine is abnormal at first glance. It seems that there are other lines hidden in the insulated wire.

.In view of this, the EOD team decided to detonate the soil bomb directly.

Then it was gone. Auntie was fine, the tree was fine, and the only bomb that caused trouble was killed.

The physical evidence team entered the scene and collected the bomb fragments. Liang Xi, who was outside, was confused. What does it mean? Can you hear a noise? It felt like being woken up by a neighbor and his wife quarreling in the middle of the night. It was okay to be woken up. The key was to listen for a long time and not know.

What are they arguing about.

As he was about to leave for lunch, Baker called: "The body was found."

Liang Xixi asked: "Here?"

Baker was speechless: "There's nothing to be happy about, right?"

Liang Xi apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Near the detonation point, the evidence workers found a lipstick buried shallowly on the surface of the earth. Due to the impact of the bomb, it was exposed. The evidence workers dug with a small shovel and found a body after digging 30 centimeters. The degree of decomposition was used to determine the death.

It takes about a week.

Because of this discovery, other evidence officers searched more carefully. One evidence officer found a fruit knife inserted into the ground ten meters east of the big tree. The blade was entirely in the soil, and one-third of the handle was outside. The soil here

It was soft. After digging to 50 centimeters, a second body was found, and the estimated time of death was about a month before the first body.

When things got serious, the SWAT team and patrol police cordoned off the surrounding area. The police brought in police dogs and machinery, and began a comprehensive search of the area using the big British tree as a reference.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Baker sent the latest news. Three bodies were found, and they were judged by visual inspection to be women in their 30s and 40s. Liang Xi was drinking coffee with Bobby at a cafe near the scene. When he heard what Baker said, it seemed that

Thinking of something, I asked: "Is there a silk scarf on the wrist of the corpse?"

Baker asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Fuck! The Silk Scarf Killer, the Scarf Killer of Liverpool." Liang Xi counted with his fingers: "The murderer was released from prison. According to the sentence, he should have been released from prison four months ago."

17 years ago, a series of murders occurred in Liverpool. Six people were killed in more than three months. The victims had two identical characteristics. They were both full-time wives. They had a silk scarf tied around their wrists. The police finally found the crime

The suspect is the husband of the first victim, his name is Yasuo

Yasuo refused to admit that he committed murder. He explained the reason why his wife's blood was on his clothes. He admitted to domestic violence against his wife, but did not admit to killing her. During the two months of recovery and detention for investigation, no similar case occurred in Liverpool.

Two months later, Yasuo was charged with multiple murders. He recovered because he was a comic book author and spent most of his time at home. In addition, the six cases spanned a long time, and he could not find any evidence of his alibi when the six murders occurred.

.

The court finally ruled that Yasuo was guilty of killing his wife. Due to insufficient evidence, he was not guilty of killing other people. Although the prosecutor brought up silk scarf evidence, the court considered the possibility of copycat crimes and dismissed it. In the end, Yasuo was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

, no parole.

Liang Xi knew a detail that many people didn't know. The silk scarf on the wrist of each deceased person was very ordinary, but the knotting method was more complicated. All six cases were tied with one method. But when the first case occurred, the police

The silk scarf was not kept secret. After the second case occurred, the police believed that there was a possibility of a serial killer through the silk scarf, so they kept the silk scarf secret.

The purpose of secrecy is to prevent copycat crimes. There are always some people who are well fed and like to imitate the criminal methods of serial murderers. Serial murderers have a characteristic, they have an obvious mark. In this case, the mark of the murderer is not a silk scarf, but a silk scarf.

It was a silk scarf knot. This case was not heard in public in court, and the reason was also because of the scarf knot. In order to prevent the murderer from killing for fame, Yasuo's name was withheld when the case was announced to the public.

Not talking about the public, no one except those directly handling the case knew how the silk scarf knot was tied. Liang Xi didn't know either. John once called his acquaintances in the Liverpool Criminal Investigation Department, and the acquaintances told John that he didn't know either.

There is an order from above prohibiting discussion of silk scarves.

Having said this, Liang Xi clapped his hands: "I understand."

Bobby: "The murderer?"

Liang Xi: "No, it's the murderer's target: Dale. Assistant Director of the Frontline Police Department, Dale, the former chief of the Liverpool Police Department. When Dale took office in London, I casually learned about Dale's resume. I remember that 17 years ago he should have been

The boss of the Liverpool Criminal Investigation Department. Yasuo was released from prison four months ago. Dale came to London to take up the post more than three months ago, and Yasuo followed."

This case is highly confidential. Although John is very concerned about this case, the information is limited, and Liang Xi has only a little understanding of the case. Liang Xi asked John: Is Yasuo a serial killer? John's answer is: There is too little information to judge. But

The fact that the court can convict Yasuo of killing his wife shows that the police provided irrefutable evidence.

Yasuo has always refused to plead guilty. In addition to the principle of acquittal, the court will not convict Yasuo of murder without strong evidence.

At six o'clock in the evening, Baker contacted Liang Xi: "The Office of the Frontline Police Department is supervising the investigation process of this case. Dell asked the police to find a Liverpool man named Yasuo in London." Baker told Liang Xi that Dell went to see the three corpses in person and was very attentive.

He studied the photos of the silk scarf before ordering the search for Yasuo.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs seemed to have smelled something and dispatched police detectives to supervise and assist Dell in overseeing the case.

…

Bobby has been hanging out with Liang Xi for the past two days, and he started to learn information classification and analysis. Liang Xi doesn't use this method on a daily basis, but this case involves so many people and things that his brain can't handle so much information, so he can only use Old John's

Use the writing board to classify characters, time, place, etc. Then make multiple guesses for each piece of information.

For example, A goes to work at the company, departs at 7 a.m., and arrives at the company at 8 a.m. It is deduced that the means of transportation used by A is just right, and the time to take the subway is just right. At the same time, the possibility of taking a taxi and the impossibility of taking the bus are listed. From this information, we can

Reason out how many extra things A can do in this hour, and what kind of things.

This information may be useful, or it may not be useful, list it out and put it there. When subsequent information is related or contradictory to it, you can quickly find the contradiction and analyze it.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon on the day my aunt disappeared, the police found Yasuo.

Yasuo was a stockbroker before he was imprisoned, and his financial situation was good. After being released from prison after 17 years, the stocks he held appreciated by an average of about 10 times. Although Yasuo was not a rich man, he still had millions of pounds.

Yasuo bought an RV in Liverpool. Three and a half months ago, Yasuo drove all the way to London. The RV was parked at the campground management office in Kendall Park, which accommodates tourists from all over the country who come to London in RVs. Of course, they have to pay a certain fee.

cost.

According to the camp manager, Yasuo has never moved the RV since he arrived at the camp three and a half months ago. Yasuo bought a pickup truck at the second-hand market. Yasuo lives in the RV and often drives the pickup truck. Yasuo and the administrator said

, he was preparing to settle in London and was currently looking for a suitable house. The administrator once helped him introduce the house, and the two of them went to see the house together. Unfortunately, in the end, the owner's asking price was too high and no deal was reached.

After Yasuo was detained, Dell interrogated Yasuo himself. Baker watched the entire interrogation process at the interrogation area. Dell was a little emotional and tried to suppress his anger. Yasuo was obviously much calmer and kept saying that he was wrongly accused. He also said that Dell relied on wrongly accusing him.

He successfully became the Assistant Commissioner of the Liverpool Police Station and finally took over as the Commissioner. Now, before the age of fifty, Dale has become the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department's most important department, the Frontline Police Department. Sooner or later, Dale will become the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

Facing Yasuo's ridicule, Dell kept suppressing the anger in his heart and asked Yasuo if he killed those people in revenge for arresting him. Yasuo said that he had nothing to do with the three corpses. He said that after being released from prison, he wanted to change his life in a new environment.

London is nice, so I came to London.

Judging from Baker's experience, Yasuo was well prepared. Judging from the interrogation video sent by Baker, Liang Xi believed that Yasuo's words contained resentment towards Dell. Logically speaking, Yasuo only took responsibility for one murder case. If the other

He was responsible for the crime, so he should be lucky that he can still get out of jail.

The next interrogation was interesting. Yasuo said that he took a walk in Kendall Park the morning his aunt disappeared. Because only special passages (ambulances, fire trucks) in Kendall Park were monitored, it was impossible to prove where Yasuo was in Kendall Park that morning. Good news.

However, the investigators found a series of cosmetics such as voice changers, female wigs, perfumes and foundations from the RV. The aunt believed that the shape and color of the wigs were similar to those of the person who kidnapped her, but she was not sure whether it was Yasuo.

I have never seen Yasuo's face.

At the end of the interrogation, Dale asked Yasuo, what on earth are you going to do?

Yasuo told Dell: He only has one request, asking Dell to apologize to me in public and in front of the media and admit that you framed me.

Dale said angrily: You are the murderer.

Yasuo smiled and said nothing in reply.

Liang Xi asked: "Baker, have you found the woman named Fanny?"

Baker was the main detective in charge of this case. He did not spend time on Fanny, but he asked the intern beauty agent to check on Fanny. After asking the intern agent to find out, Baker told Liang Xi that Fanny was a woman from Liverpool.

Overall villa designer Fanny's mother was the third victim of the Liverpool Scarf Killer case 17 years ago.

Because her mother was killed and her father suffered from alcoholism and a car accident due to grief, Fanny grew up under the supervision of relatives. Fanny graduated from college at the age of 22 and married a 42-year-old rich man in Liverpool at the age of 23. Two years later, Fanny and the rich man divorced.

, because Fanny had evidence of the rich man's affair, and they signed a prenuptial agreement, Fanny took away 90% of the rich man's property. This case caused a sensation in Liverpool. Fanny overnight became a rich lady with a net worth of billions.

She is also a shareholder of two listed companies. Fannie sold all her shares in two years and opened Fannie House Decoration and Design Company.

According to customs records, Fanny often went abroad to collect materials and lived in the country for no more than three months each year. This situation lasted until Yasuo was released from prison. After Yasuo was released from prison, Fanny never went abroad again. Records show that,

Fanny checked into the resort villa of Erfan Hotel ten days ago and bought a handsome new blue luxury car in London.

The intern agent worked very hard. She learned that Fanny was not only very beautiful, well-connected, smart and motivated, she had successfully completed the long-distance triathlon challenge twice. Fanny's private life was quite chaotic, and she had scandals with celebrities and sports stars, and was involved in business affairs.

Some rich people in the world also have tidbits. She is the social queen of Liverpool's upper class. Of course, with her net worth, she is already a member of the upper class.

Liang Xi put Fanny's photo on the writing board with a magnet, looked at it for a while and said: "It makes no sense at all. For such a strong girl with a lot of money and resources, wouldn't it be easy to kill Yasuo? Unless..."

Liang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Bobby, who was video chatting with his girl, saw Liang Xi looking at him and asked, "Unless what?"

Liang Xinu: "I asked you to think, but I didn't ask you to ask. Put down the phone."

Poppy put down his phone and rolled up his sleeves: "I'm the boss, do you want to fight?...We are all gentlemen, how about a sense of identity?" Poppy gave up. In recent months, Poppy could feel Liang Xi's body appearing.

Some changes. The head bodyguard told Bobby that Liang Xi must be exercising regularly, continuously and scientifically. Although Liang Xi is still an ordinary person, Bobby, who often bathes with two girls, cannot beat Liang Xi now. As a

Although the head bodyguard did not intervene in the fight between Bobby and Liang Xi, he still hoped that his employer would not lose too miserably.

Liang Xi pointed out: "You said you were interested, so I took out the whiteboard. Now the answer is obvious."
