A miniature model that reproduces the kitchen scene in full scale.

In reality, where the model is placed, a small gift box is placed inside the model.

The note in Holz's hand at the moment was taken out of that gift box.

Dean took a look.

I saw that the note was rolled into the shape of a parchment, and there was a belt buckle on the outer skin. On the edge, there was a series of mysterious patterns, like words, and some kind of religious ceremony.

On the whole, it looks a bit like a devil's contract in a film and television drama.

The content on the note is even more confusing.

Because there is only a simple sentence above: the contract is over, happy cooperation!

"The contract is over, happy cooperation?"

Dean muttered.

What is the murderer trying to express?

Could it be that the murderer had made some kind of deal with the deceased?

With the style of this torn note, people can't help but associate it with some religious ceremonies.

While Dean was thinking.

Holz came over and said in a low voice, "Dean, I seem to have heard of such a case from my colleagues before."

"You mean, this could be a serial murder case?"

Dean narrowed his eyes slightly.

In this case, the murderer's unique way of killing makes sense.

Holz nodded:

"Before I was in a bad mood, so I didn't notice the miniatures in the kitchen.

But when I saw this miniature, it occurred to me that I had heard similar cases before.

The place where the incident happened is in New York.

At that time, seven people died in a row, which caused a lot of trouble and attracted the attention of many people. However, the New York police had no clues. Finally, under pressure, they transferred the case to the FBI.

After the FBI got involved in solving the case.

No follow-up announcement.

But there was no news of the model killer being caught in the end.

Because of the particularity of the case.

At that time, our side also participated in the discussion of the case, so I have some impressions. "

"Three years ago, New York killed seven people in a row"

Dean realized something was wrong.

This guy seems to be a repeat offender, and this time he chose to start his legendary crime in Los Angeles again!

He suddenly remembered Anbei's reminder to himself: People from the "Lucifer Game Organization" discovered a criminal with a high IQ in Los Angeles, and sent a person to prepare to absorb him!

Don't doubt it!

This miniature model serial murderer is the opponent's target!

Dean immediately picked up his cell phone and called Harry.

Daisy followed to see the last side of the idol.

Harry is alone in the office now.

Wait a moment.

On the other end of the phone, Harry's half-asleep voice came: "Boss Dean, do you need my help from Harry!"

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Detective Harry!" Dean said with a dark face.

This yin and yang tone made Harry sober in an instant.

He said with a dry smile, "Boss, you are so humorous. Is the case going well?"

"I want you to help me find out the details of the miniature model serial murder case in New York three years ago. If you can, just call the police department over there and tell me that Dean wanted it!"

"No problem!" Harry agreed first, then hesitantly said: "I can get some information through our police system, but if you want detailed information, they may not sell your face over there. ah."

What he said was a little tactful.

The New York and Los Angeles Police Departments are actually completely two systems, both of which belong to the municipal government's appropriation, and have no obligation to coordinate with each other to handle cases.

To save face, call you Inspector.

Don't give you face, if you pass by, you are nothing!

In fact, let alone Dean, a small police detective, even a captain like Old Hunter would make the other party find it funny if he asked for the detailed information file of a certain case.

So Harry felt that his boss, Dean, had been in Los Angeles for a long time and was a little swollen.

Dean rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, do as I say, as long as you report my citizen number, they will cooperate!"

joke.

After all, he is also a special detective of the New York Police Department.

Law enforcement across regions may require greetings and coordination.

But just asking for a case file from three years ago is not trivial.

hang up the phone.

Dean returned the note to Holtz: "How is the site survey going?"

Since it is a serial killer.

The suspicion of the people around the deceased Jonny Dennison suddenly became low.

Because this kind of serial murderer who can escape the double investigation of the police department and the FBI, the most taboo thing is to eat grass on the side of the nest.

This is a very simple truth.

The more exposed you are, the higher your chances of getting caught.

Since the other party was able to get away with it for three years, it meant that the police detectives and FBI in New York were unable to locate the identity information of the murderer in the seven serial murder cases, and even couldn't find the direction.

This kind of person will not be so stupid as to expose himself to the eyes of outsiders.

Holz put away the note: "We passed the reagents and found traces of blood cleaning on the cleaning table, and also found bleaching reagents. Following the traces, we finally found the murder weapon that killed Jonny Dennison."

"Rolling pin?"

"Yes, the small rolling pin for making soda biscuits was placed in the drawer. The surface of the rolling pin was cleaned with bleach, but it was not completely dry, so we found it immediately."

Holz said, with a look of wonder on his face: "The murderer really has obsessive-compulsive disorder. We found the corresponding rolling pin in the miniature model, and there were bleach residues on it, and it didn't dry either. To be honest, I'm really very nervous now." Curious about what kind of person the murderer is, Dean, you must catch him!"

"He can't escape!"

Dean smiled confidently.

There is nothing special about this murderer's method of killing, but the whole killing process will indeed arouse the strong curiosity of those who come into contact with it.

Because it turns out it might be the iconic serial killer.

Dean didn't continue to waste time on the victim Jonny Dennison, and took Carlo and Daisy directly back to the branch.

When Dean returned to the office.

Harry also stood in front of a printer, receiving a massive file transfer from New York.

Meet Dean.

Harry slipped on one knee on the tiled floor mischievously, stopped firmly in front of Dean, and hugged his thigh: "Boss Dean, I just discovered today that you are the lighthouse in the mist, guiding I, a lost lamb, is a prophet who walks on the most correct path of life!"

Daisy smiled and said, "Wow, Harry, you can't take it anymore, are you going to propose to Dean?"

Harry had a devout face: "Daisy, you don't understand the greatness of Boss Dean. Every time you think you can see his strength, Boss Dean will let you know what omnipotence is!"

Carlo couldn't help covering his mouth.

Really gross.

This thing is actually his senior partner!

What a shame!

Dean kicked Harry away in disgust: "Have you sent the message from New York?"

"The seven case reports are about to be printed, and a temporary account has been given over there. You can log in to the photo database of the NYPD to view detailed photos of the seven cases."

Harry got up from the ground with an expectant look on his face: "Boss Dean, is it possible that the miniature murderer who shocked New York has come to Los Angeles?"

Dean shook his head: "I'm still not sure if it's a copycat crime, so I want the information of the New York case for comparison. Okay, since everyone is here, I'll start to arrange tasks!"

The team is short-handed.

Dean can only make arrangements based on the abilities and specialties of the three of them.

"Harry, I want you to investigate where the plumber, the gardener, at Jonny Dennison's house was this morning!

In addition, the home of the victim, Jonny Dennison, invited the termite company to deal with it half a year ago, and there was a conflict in the middle. I want you to figure out this matter!

Let Carlo tell you the details of the case! "

Harry patted his chest: "No problem, boss!"

After Dean finished speaking, he looked at Daisy: "Daisy, I want you to find the master on the Los Angeles miniature model, invite him to the police station, and monitor the social network of Jonny Dennison's family and ex-wife. Pay attention to people who like to show superior life photos on the Internet!"

"Need to use some illegal means?"

Daisy winked at Dean.

"As long as there is something to gain!", after Dean finished speaking, he looked at Carlo: "Carlo, you are in the office during this time, cooperating with Daisy and Harry, and at the same time paying attention to the murders in Holz and other areas of Los Angeles Case, I have a hunch, this case is just the beginning!"

Carlo nodded, but said nothing.

This guy, most of the time, has a dull personality, but he does things steadily and is much more reliable than Harry.

Finish these orders.

Dean returned to the office with the documents Harry wanted to come.

Paper materials, mainly about the investigation reports and findings of the seven murders.

Based on reported information.

The Miniature Slayer first appeared in Christmas 1998.

A well-known magician walked into a large container during a Christmas performance in public, but never came out again.

When the assistant of the magician felt something was wrong, he called someone to open the container, and was shocked to find that the magician had been stabbed four times and fell to the ground, having already lost his life.

And next to the magician, there is a container model, which perfectly reproduces everything on the scene!

besides.

The police were still inside the model and found a note similar to a devil's contract, with a simple sentence written on it: The contract is over, happy cooperation!

This... is also the miniature model murderer, the first time it has appeared in the eyes of the world.

Because there were a lot of spectators at that time, and it was Christmas, as soon as this case appeared, it attracted a lot of media attention in New York. A group of bored citizens on vacation took it as a big melon to enjoy.

result.

three days later.

A second case of the same kind appeared!

This time, the deceased was a well-known female DJ.

The opponent took a halftime break, entered the waiting room, and never came out again..

It was three days later.

A third dead man appears.

After that, every three days.

There will always be a dead person!

Next to their bodies, there are miniature models of the same replica environment, and inside the models, there is also a small note with the same style and content

If this is the case.

It can also be said that the murderer woke up and prepared for a long time, and deliberately let the deceased die in the environment he prepared.

But it was the case in seven consecutive cases.

That's incredible!

Because the dead are found very quickly, and the production of miniature models needs enough time. If it is to be exactly the same as the death scene, the murderer must prepare in advance!

And the dead are all independent individuals!

Even if it is a murderer, it is impossible to manipulate the deceased, wear the same clothes according to his own wishes, arrive in the environment of the miniature model made, and die in the death method prepared in advance.

This is not scientific at all!

But other than that reason.

Other speculations can't be explained in terms of time at all!

These dead have one more thing in common!

Each deceased had a different occupation, whether they were singers, magicians, or DJs, but they all had some fame in their own industries and circles.

With each miniature model, the words on the note: The contract is over, happy cooperation!

In the report, the police detective in charge of the case even laughed at himself: "I almost thought that the murderer was a real devil. It made a deal with every dead person, allowing them to gain fame and money in their own industry. When the contract time came, , the demons regard the miniature model as an established script, and those dead, under the control of mysterious power, start their own curtain call performance according to the script!"

Seeing this, Dean paused for a long time.

Because judging from the case report alone, he also felt incredible.

This is simply a criminal art!

pat~

Dean silently lit a cigarette.

a long time.

Surrounded by smoke, he crushed out the cigarette butt!

The miniature model murderer successfully aroused his interest!

The more powerful the murderer, the more valuable it is!

Since the other party dared to commit crimes in his own jurisdiction and slap him in the face, he could just use the other party as a stepping stone to help him gain the last bit of experience points and be promoted to the peak of the current human body!

Adjust your mentality.

Dean used the temporary account permissions given to him in New York to log in to the website there, searched for the case numbers, and found photos of the death scenes in seven cases.

In these seven cases, the scene was very simple and clean.

The simplicity lies in the fact that there are many clues left in every death scene.

Cleanliness is these clues. After the investigation, it is impossible to find the slightest information about the murderer, and it is impossible to even lock the direction.

Even Dean, with the support of this information, can only determine the killing logic of the miniature model killer:

Before the unknown time, choose the target first!

After selecting all the targets, start making the 'Death Script' - the miniature model!

Then through unknown means.

For the final harvest.

This is a very, very classic three-act filming and interpretation technique!

Elicit the story-suppression, anticipation-explode anticipation, climax!

The murderer interprets every crime as a commercial movie!

A vague image, through the seven cases, took shape in Dean's mind for the first time.

But it's not all good news.

Because if Dean's deduction is not wrong.

Then the death of Jonny Dennison means that the murderer has completed the preliminary preparations and is ready to start the final climax!

A high-frequency murder case in three days!

The time left for Dean is running out!
