At 2:45 a.m., the television screen suddenly lit up on its own.
The cold light reflected in the dark living room, and a few faces could be seen faintly in the constantly flashing black and white snow.
Han Fei breathed a little sigh of relief, his palms and back were soaked with sweat, just now when the hair appeared at the crack of the quilt, he was truly scared to death.
"There are only twenty minutes left."
This hellish time is finally about to pass, Han Fei does not know how he has endured, he saw a little hope in the long dark night.
On the living room sofa, five figures had their backs to the bedroom, all of them staring at the old square box TV as if there was something very fascinating in that flickering Snow Screen.
Tick, tick ...
The sound of the electronic clock's hand movement and Han Fei's own heartbeat mixed together, and he tried his best to keep himself calm, now it was the last moment, there must not be any mistakes.
The eyes swept over the figures on the sofa, and Han Fei's eyes finally stopped at the TV screen.
The rustling sound of electricity is joined by a man's voice, which is not very clear, as if a madman is muttering.
Han Fei paid attention, as the man vaguely seemed to say words like dismantling, transformation into a pupa, freeing, and beauty.
"1044 is the murder house, which holds the victims of the human jigsaw puzzle case, I have seen Wei Youfu and Ah Mei here with my own eyes. But the tone of voice of the man on the TV does not feel like a victim, but rather more like a murderer."
The victims in the human jigsaw puzzle case are ordinary people, their deathbed photos were all seen by Han Fei, each photo is full of despair and pain, they can't say these meaningless words in the moment of life and death.
In order to solve the case, Han Fei memorized everything that the man on the TV said.
"The killer was in a bit of a strange state when he killed as if he was performing some kind of ritual." Han Fei recalled the information about the human jigsaw puzzle case in his mind.
The police attach great importance to this case, even though ten years have passed, the New Shanghai police are still pursuing it, all the pieces of evidence are kept, and they also offer an open-ended reward to the community for clues.
Han Fei also learned some insider information through some of the information made public by the police.
Generally speaking, serial killers can be roughly divided into four categories: delusional, committed, pleasure-oriented, and control-oriented, and the New Shanghai police have positioned the human jigsaw puzzle murderer as mission-oriented and extremely violent control-oriented.
Most of the victims of human jigsaw puzzle cases are women and children, so most people feel that the killer is likely not to be tall, and his strength determines that he will strike at people who are weaker than him.
He wanted something from those weaker than him to satisfy his own twisted heart.
Of course, the police could not disclose all the information before solving the case, but some of the information Han Fei found out was also summarized by himself on the Internet, it was not necessarily accurate, but only say that it gave him a direction.
He was thinking in this direction at first, but after hearing the words of the man on the TV, he realized that the killer's purpose for the killing was not simple, but perhaps there was a deeper reason.
" Transformation into a pupa? A butterfly?"
Han Fei had obtained a piece of information in the game that the police didn't know, and that was that Meng Chang'an, the suspect in the freezer corpse hiding case, had predicted the human jigsaw puzzle case.
And Meng Changan himself was not a normal person, he had told his family the first time he killed someone, he was somehow lured into doing something so crazy in order to see the butterfly in his head.
""The freezer corpse hiding case and the human jigsaw puzzle case are all related to the butterfly, what exactly does this butterfly symbolize?""
Meng Changan was once seduced by the butterfly, listening to the man's voice on TV, the murderer of the human jigsaw puzzle case seems to have been seduced by the butterfly as well.
" Merely looking only at the murder scene would feel that the human jigsaw puzzle case murderer is inclined to mission-type homicidal madness, but hearing his creepy and cruel voice, this madman seems to be caught in some kind of delusion, and his motive for the killing is very complex."
Han Fei is not a professional detective, just a few days ago he was struggling to figure out how to make the audience laugh, reasoning and analysis is a course he has only recently begun to learn.
His eyes moved to the figures on the sofa, Han Fei looked at the five blurred figures, and the information about the human jigsaw puzzle victims emerged in his mind.
"According to the order of being killed, there seems to be nothing to see, but if we look at the order of the age of the victims ..."
Fourteen minutes past zero, the first appearance of the child in the house is very similar in appearance to the youngest victim in the human jigsaw puzzle case.
"Cui Tianchi, 12 years old, had been a model of children's clothing, the time of death was between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m."
Immediately after Han Fei looked at the second ghost that appeared on the sofa, the long-haired woman who passed by Han Fei's bedroom door at 00:44.
"Cui Caiyi, Cui Tianchi's sister, 18 years old, has a pair of very pure and beautiful eyes, is a contact lenses model, and has shot photos for many contact lens stores."
The eyes slowly moved to the short-haired woman with the fruit knife, Han Fei recalled the photos of the victims in his mind: "Xiao Qing, 20 years old, a female student who worked part-time as a tutor while attending college, with excellent character, excellent personality, and in private a foot model, who earned money for her own schooling but also sent some of it back home for her relatives to cure their illnesses. "
Sitting next to the short-haired woman is a short woman, she is wearing high heels and her skin is ghastly white.
"Zhang Lingfan, 23 years old, an anchorwoman of little fame, with good-looking white hands, who often takes nail ads, is a hand model. Her time of death was around 1 a.m., which coincided with the time she just appeared."
"According to the age, the next deceased is 25-year-old Ah Mei, who had left many lipstick tryout photos on business shopping platforms and many lip photos on social media platforms, and many people wanted to invite her to be a lip model."
" The smallest age difference with Ah Mei is Wei Youfu, 26 years old, who died at around 3:00 a.m. He is also the only one of all the deceased who had little merit in terms of physical appearance. The police judged that Wei Youfu was killed solely because he mistakenly entered the murder scene, plus that was the murderer's first time, and all the reasons overlapped, leading to his murder."
"In addition to Wei Youfu, there is a male victim, the age of this male is also the oldest of all the victims, his name is Gu Ye, 29 years old, once worked as a graphic designer, the time of death was between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning."
There are eight victims of the human jigsaw puzzle case, in addition to the eighth victim who still has no information, the time of death of the remaining seven victims is associated with age.
The older they were, the later the time of death.
From zero to four in the morning, from the deepest night to the approaching dawn.
From the age of twelve when the human body officially enters puberty, to the age of thirty when physical ability begins to decline slightly.
Each victim in the human jigsaw puzzle case seems to have been carefully selected; this is not a random killing at all, but a long premeditated crime.
