There is also a copycat in Chapter 61.
In Tao Di's eyes when he looked at the daytime, it was not only the respect that the courtiers had for His Majesty.
More full of admiration.
Even the minister of Dali Temple in the current dynasty, Shangguan who was known as the iron-handed detective when he was young, only vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this case at first.But what's wrong with it, he still hasn't figured it out yet.
Your Majesty, at such a young age, has always acted so...willfully...
King Yuanning saw Tao Di staring blankly at the daytime with almost pilgrimage eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, let's clear up Master Tao's confusion."
On the contrary, during the day, he took a meaningful look at King Yuanning, and said: "I... I have read an interesting book in which this kind of killer is called a serial killer. The first crime of this kind of murderer may be due to some Stimulation by a specific environment, person or event is an impulsive behavior. But once you start, you will be addicted. However, I checked the records in the file and found that there was no special record of the environment and events at the time of the crime, except that the victims were all young women. "
This concept left Tody dumbfounded.
King Yuanning smiled without saying a word, full of admiration.
Bai Zhou continued: "Serial killers with impulsive behaviors, apart from being stimulated by incidents to commit crimes, also have the possibility that their own behaviors are pathological. And the law of this disease can be expressed through special arithmetic formulas, which is almost the same as The course of epilepsy is consistent."
At this point in the conversation, Tao Di felt that he could understand every single word the emperor said, but together...
Is it a bible?
However, it seems that the emperor didn't expect him to understand. He kept looking at King Yuanning, and picked up a pen to write a series of symbols and numbers like ghostly symbols on the paper.
Tody took a look: Come on, what is epilepsy?What is this written about?
There are a bunch of symbols in front of him, none of which can be understood.
However, King Yuanning could see clearly that this was a set of functional calculation formulas, and the result was exactly the famous "Devil's Stairway" (※).
Sure enough, I only heard the emperor explain: "This is the spool of the murder time calculated according to the law."
Tao Di finally understood a little bit. The peaks of the curves drawn by the emperor on the paper all corresponded extremely accurately to the day when the first column of victims in his hand was killed.
The emperor put down his pen, paced around the room, and said thoughtfully: "Zhen... At first, I wondered why the second murder happened nearly ten days after the first murder, but every time after that The time interval between cases becomes tight and regular."
Having said that, he looked at King Yuanning.
Tao Di couldn't hear what he said, but the lord knew that Bai Tian was proving his identity to him in this way.
Epilepsy, functional computing, criminal psychology...all of them are knowledge theories that modern talents are well aware of.
The prince knew that he was eagerly looking forward to his response during the day, and since the night when he took the new medicine, his doubts about his identity have not been eliminated.
Because of the living environment, Bai Tian's thinking is more or less biased towards conspiracy theories. Thinking about it this way, King Yuanning immediately understood his intentions. He was afraid that there were people around him that he could not trust, so he could not reveal his identity in front of him. .
This is... a password to myself.
But after all, caring is chaotic. The smarter people sometimes think about things, the more complicated it is. The reason why Jian Lanyuan can't reveal her identity is simple and pure, and it's all due to the consideration of Baitian's physical recovery.
Finally, seeing the prince just looking at him with a smile on his face, without saying a word, he felt bitter during the day.
He said in a rather broken tone, "The one in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is a criminal with abnormal brains. The next time he will get sick will be within half a day. The motive of killing is probably to get some kind of compensation. Or to overcome certain shadows, when the time is up, with a little stimulation, whoever is emotionally unstable is the real culprit," he said, turning to Tao Di again, "Master Tao, compared to the one who has already been caught, The copycats, who are still at large today, are even more problematic."
In the hall, besides King Yuanning and Tao Di, the two assistants who helped just now were also there, and they were dumbfounded and had a hard-to-find class, although they might only understand [-]% of it.
Finally, one of the younger ones stepped forward to salute, and said: "The humble staff have little talent and learning, and I ask the lord to enlighten the humble staff on their omissions in work."
This is to ask the prince, how can he be sure that the murderer is not the same person.
The prince smiled slightly, went to the yard, looked around, found a wooden stake as thick as an adult man's arm among the sundries piled up by the wall, and came back, and said to a guard beside him: "Borrow a knife. "
The guard drew out his waist knife and handed it over respectfully.
The knife was snarling, and when the knife was raised and lowered, a section of the stump was chopped off. Then, the prince handed over the knife to his left hand, and cut off the other section of the stump with the same movement.Then hand over the stake to Zuo Zuo.
Wu Zuo was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood that it was the same cutting from top to bottom, and with different handedness, the cutting plane of the cut object would be different.
I just heard the prince continue: "Actually, that imitator is very smart. He knows that his dominant hand is different from most people, so when he cut the knife, he deliberately changed the direction of his left hand, so that most of the wounds can be seen. No clue."
Wuzuo thought deeply, and nodded desperately: "Yes, I have also specially inspected the fatal wounds of each deceased. It should be done by a person who is accustomed to using his right hand."
The prince smiled, and said: "There is only one obvious difference, and that is the right hands of the deceased. But... it's no fault of you."
Most of the post-mortem examinations were performed at the first moment when the corpse was discovered, and the murderer threw the corpse in a frenzy without any intention of hiding the corpse.
When those girls were discovered, according to the time of their death, the shortest time was no more than a few hours, and the longest time was less than a day.
At that time, the flesh of the wound was still elastic, and the bone section was unintentionally covered.
It wasn't until the prince retested again that the flesh began to sag and rot, and the section of the skeleton was revealed.
Even for a person who knows martial arts, if he wants to break a bone with a single blow, he still needs strength and skill.
Therefore, the subtle difference in the bone section at the wrist of the deceased has become the key evidence that a murderer is still at large.
Having said this, the prince turned to Tao Di and said, "Break a bone, apart from understanding the basic structure of the human body, the murderer must have some skill in his hands. Now one of the pharmacy shopkeepers who has seriously injured his right hand in the prison should be able to do so." To rule out the suspicion. But, to be safe, I will trouble Mr. Wuzuo to check again to see if he has any cocoons on his hands."
Wu Zuo took the order and went immediately.
Bai Tian smiled and turned to Tao Di, "Tao Aiqing, how is it now, do you have any new clues?"
Damn, is there an on-site test?
Tao Di Baimaohan had a layer of sweat on his back, but he couldn't destroy himself at the moment of his official career, so he forced himself to calm down and said, "The fugitive murderer... is left-handed, fair in martial arts, and meticulous in thinking."
Bai Zhou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's right, but it didn't hit the point."
Tao Di asked the emperor for advice.
Bai Zhou said: "If you want to imitate, you must have a model first. This model...how did he get it?"
Not only has it come, but it is also a finely finished book.
The emperor usually speaks slowly, and it is the same now.
But it was this gentle sentence that shocked Tao Di from ear to ear, his chin was about to droop on his chest, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. According to the emperor's intention, among the few people who were the first to contact the case from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Someone directly or indirectly disclosed the details of the murder to the imitator.
Unexpectedly, this is not the end, the emperor continued: "One more thing, if he imitates killing people, and at the same time can temporarily stop killing because of the arrest of 'Tan Ben', it means that he is not a complete lunatic. Cover up, or revenge... The second group of victims must have something in common, but we haven't found it yet, so we have to find it out as soon as possible."
After saying this, Bai Tian felt a little tight in his chest, walked to the door, took a deep breath of the slightly cool night air, then pulled out the small white jade bottle that had been hanging on his chest, stuck it to his nose and smelled it.
King Yuanning came up to him immediately, and said softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Tian raised his eyebrows to look at him, didn't pick up on his faults, but turned to Tao Di with a smile and said, "Master Tao, speaking of which, what are you going to do with those people who are being suppressed in the prison?"
Toddy asked the sheep again.
It's not because of Tao Di's incompetence. As the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, although he is not as good as those famous criminals who have gone down in history, he has a good reputation among Dayao people. , Amending the criminal law.
Today, it is completely in the hands of the day, it is really because of cognitive limitations.
Tao Di secretly made up his mind that he must read more books.
However, now is not the time to set goals for himself, so he could only knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Look at him during the day, and look at Bugo.
Then bent the corners of his mouth.
The emperor smiled very beautifully, his eyes were like the gentle spring breeze floating in the clear lake water, shining brightly.But Bugo is most afraid that he will look at him and laugh, and he will know that nothing is good at a glance.
Sure enough, the emperor waved his hand, and said in a pleasant manner: "Tao Aiqing, let's go to peace, this matter, we must let Mr. Buge help."
When Tao Di heard this, he immediately got up, bowed to Bugo to the ground, bowed his body full of respect, and said: "Please help Brother Yu."
Bu Ge didn't dare on the face, but usually rolled his eyes to the emperor, he said in his heart, you really are, you can just give orders directly, and you insist on doing this, how dare the slaves resist and disobey.
Hastily took half a step aside, passed Tao Di's big gift, went to help him up, and said, "What are you talking about?"
The two had to be polite for a few more rounds, and finally King Yuanning couldn't wait anymore.
He walked to the front of the day and whispered: "It's time to go back and rest, you are too tired today."
After all, it was the emperor and the prince who had a new move, and the polite two immediately stopped being polite.
It's just that the voices of those two people were extremely low, and they couldn't hear clearly.
I just saw that the emperor was still looking at the prince with a provocative smile at the first moment, but at the next moment, he didn't know what King Yuanning said in his ear with a smile on his face. His eyes turned white to the prince, and he said to Bugo, "I'm back."
The prince became more and more satisfied, followed the emperor's side, and followed him back to the palace.
