[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

Under the leadership of Sergeant Kurt, Hodge and Lena came to the scene of the incident in the forest vacation cabin where Mrs. and Mrs. Smith were killed.

The air in the forest is very fresh, surrounded by dense trees.

The solitary cabin, as well as the remaining ashes on the open space in front of the house, and the high yellow cordon showed that a murder case had occurred here.

"This seems to be a very open space, but it is far away from the main road and its remote location makes this place very airtight. If criminals want to commit crimes, then this is a very suitable choice." Lena held a thick report, and Hodge walked towards the cabin side by side.

"Except for the rangers who occasionally pass by, and some tourists who occasionally come to the forest hut for vacation, there are few human beings here. It is precisely this environment that criminals choose to attack so recklessly."

When they came to the marching tent where the incident happened, the corpse had already been moved out. In the lonely tent, there were dark blood stains everywhere. The messy blood splashed on the canvas of the tent wall showed strange patterns, and the mattress on the ground Almost soaked in black blood, one can imagine the tragic scene at the beginning.

Hodge looked at the forensic report in his hand: "According to the autopsy report, the Smiths have ether in their bodies, and there are burn marks deep in their nasal cavity."

Reina: "This shows that they were killed by the murderer without any resistance after inhaling ether gas and passing out."

Lena looked at the scenes and objects in front of her. The colored pictures were washed away, showing a piece of black and white, just like an old projector. With Lena's scene simulation, scenes of black and white pictures were displayed in the crowd. manifested in the mind.

In the middle of the night, there was darkness in the jungle, and a black figure was lurking in the deep bushes. He was lying there motionless, and he was carefully looking at the open space not far ahead.

In the clearing, a solitary marching tent was placed next to a strong bonfire. In front of the background of the forest cabin, the Smith family happily carried out their bonfire party.The three talked and laughed, cheering and celebrating from time to time.From Heiying's side, their laughter could even be clearly heard.

Mrs. Smith flipped the food on the grill from time to time, and the aroma of the food came, but the black shadow did not move at all.He was still looking there intently.

Soon, the girl hugged the gift she received, stepped forward and kissed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and then walked into the cabin with the gift.

At this time, it was almost midnight, but the black shadow was very patient. He was still waiting, waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Smith to enter the tent, until the lights in the tent went out, and the figure of the girl on the window of the cabin bent down under the light to turn off the lights , the surroundings are very quiet, and there are regular snoring sounds from the tent.

Finally, the shadow moved.

He approached the tent quietly first, and gently unzipped the zipper of the tent door a little. He didn't unzip it a lot, just enough for him to put the front end of the pipe in.

Soon, he blew in the ether gas he had prepared in advance through the tube.

"Why did he lurk for so long before he acted?" Reina asked a timely question, and quickly explained: "Although the forest is empty and there are few people, but he is facing a family of three at the same time. In , Mr. Smith is very strong. He cannot subdue all three people at the same time, because he may face the resistance of the other two, so he cannot guarantee his own safety. At the same time, women will quickly encounter this situation. Screaming, he would be in danger if he came across a patrolling ranger. So, he chose the safest way. It shows that this criminal is very patient and well-planned."

"When the Smiths lost their ability to resist, the murderer quickly committed the crime." Lena continued to simulate the scene:

Beside the dark tent in the dark night, under the bright moonlight, the black shadow threw away the thin tube in his hand, and unzipped the zipper of the tent door without hesitation. Inside the tent, Mrs. and Mrs. Smith, who had fallen into a coma, lay there motionless, The black shadow took out a sharp dagger, quickly got into the tent, raised his arm frantically, lowered it fiercely, raised it again, over and over again, the warm blood sprayed out and sprayed on the gray tent cloth, the blood was very Almost soaked the thick quilt under the feet.

"Puff~puff~puff~" The sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh continued to be heard.

Mrs. and Mrs. Smith's bodies were sobbing constantly, their limbs were convulsed, their lungs were filled with blood and they made a sound like a bellows, and it was like an old clogged toilet. This sound of dying was heard in the silent night It made people feel chills down their backs, and soon, they could no longer shudder, and finally the surroundings fell into deathly silence again.

"The Smiths died of internal organ failure caused by hemorrhagic shock." Lena flipped through the bloody photos in her hands.

"The murderer put a quilt on the deceased after committing the crime. This is a sign of remorse. It shows that the criminal quickly regained his senses after committing the crime. It shows that he knew what he was doing. This is a typical serial killing. The criminal's pattern of committing crimes, he will not stop killing, he will continue to commit crimes."

The corpses of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith lay there stiffly. The murderer's feverish mind slowly calmed down. He wiped the blood-soaked dagger with a corner of the dry quilt, and then carefully covered the quilt over the still warm body. On the corpse, he took a breath, but what he smelled was the pungent smell of blood, but he felt very happy.

Reina's gaze followed the tent to the overturned barbecue grill on the ground, and then looked at the flashlight lying in the grass in front of the tent, and the traces on the grass that were kicked out by the shoes due to struggle...

After killing Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the murderer's ultimate goal has not been achieved, so he didn't give himself any time to hesitate. He quickly got out of the tent full of blood, and kicked over the barbecue with his feet heavily. With a "bang", the heavy hob hit the ground and made a loud noise. This was the effect he wanted.

At the same time, he would cover his mouth with his hand and make a sound similar to struggling, which was enough to wake up a person in a deep sleep.Soon, the sleeping girl in the cabin was awakened, and the light in the cabin came on.

He hid in the dark, looking at the girl who was trembling in the night wind because of fright, the corner of his mouth showed a trace of comfort, he watched the girl cautiously approaching the tent, when the girl was overly tortured because of seeing the dead body of her parents The moment he was so frightened that his whole body froze, the murderer came out.

He seized the opportunity, and when the girl let down her vigilance due to fright, he covered the girl's mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in ether. The girl struggled vigorously, and the bottom of the shoe left traces on the grass under her feet. But soon, the girl fell into a coma.

The full moon was in the sky, and two cold and stiff corpses were lying alone in the tent. Under the moonlight, the girl with limp hands and feet was taken away by the murderer.

"At zero o'clock in the morning that night, the rangers who happened to pass by noticed something unusual, so they found the murder scene and called the police in time." Lena ended the scene simulation, and she asked the police officer beside her: "Excuse me Where was the ranger who called the police at that time, I want to understand the situation at the time and see if there is anything I missed.”

However, the police officer beside him showed a confused look: "Well, we didn't find the forest ranger who called the police at that time."

Huo Qi turned his head vigilantly, and Lena said, "It's too coincidental that the murder was discovered by the rangers less than an hour after the murder happened in such a wide forest."

Hodge: "Unless it was Fred himself who called the police."

Reina: "Why would he do this? It's not worth the candle to him."

Hodge: "Unless he has some purpose and needs to alert or use the police."

Lena and Huoqi looked at each other vigilantly, and Lena said, "We have to hurry up."

Hodge flipped through the autopsy report in his hand: "The Smiths were all stabbed to death with random knives, and each of them was stabbed more than ten times. They were stunned by drugs and had no ability to resist. Killed, but he chose such a cruel way that was close to venting."

Reina: "This is an obvious overkill, which shows that the murderer has irrepressible anger and impulse."

Hodge: "But according to Blake's profile, the children who were sent out were refracted by Fred to become their young self. He hoped that they would grow up healthily in a peaceful and warm family. Although the Smiths had a modest income, they were kind and enthusiastic. , Honest and compassionate, deeply loved by people, and devoted to Bertha.

Bertha is cheerful and optimistic, has excellent grades, and has entered Northwestern University through a football scholarship. All these meet his expectations. Why should he do this again? "
