Chapter 242: Purpose of the murderer

When Gu Fan and Ma Xiaoling returned to the police station, they happened to see Captain Zhang holding a plastic bag to observe carefully.
Seeing Gu Fan coming, Captain Zhang said immediately.
"Nuo, this is what was found in the mud. It should have been left by the murderer accidentally."
Gu Fan took it and observed it.
What I saw in the plastic bag seemed to be a broken piece of cloth.
Inside the cloth piece, there is also a net-like structure such as sportswear.
It can be seen from the old and new degree of the cloth that it has indeed only recently entered the soil, and it is probably left by the murderer.
"It seems that the murderer's clothes were damaged. Did you find out what kind of clothes it was?"
This doesn't need to be prompted by Gu Fan, Captain Zhang and the others already have someone in charge of this matter, and it has been effective.
"From the perspective of its material, structure, and color, it is probably the school uniform of our No. 3 Middle School in Nanshun."
Gu Fan glanced at Captain Zhang, quite puzzled.
"Oh? Why can you be so sure?"
Captain Zhang's expression suddenly felt a little proud.
"Because this is the Jing'an District of Nanshun City, the rich area people say."
"The mesh structure material inside this cloth sheet is normally only used by some very expensive sports brands. In the market, most of them use inferior materials to shoddy."
"The No. 3 Middle School of Nanshun City in Jing'an District is quite rich. They don't need to use inferior materials, and only they don't use inferior materials."
Hearing this, Gu Fan nodded.
Anyway, there is a clue now.
"Since you have confirmed that it is the school uniform of the third middle school, I must have started to check it."
However, Captain Zhang was a little ashamed at this time.
"Not yet, because it is difficult."
Then, Captain Zhang looked at Gu Fan's puzzled expression and explained.
"Namshun No. 3 Middle School, there are more than 5,000 students in it. We can't rule out other people wearing school uniforms to commit crimes. Therefore, the number of people we need to investigate is likely to exceed 6000.
"In addition, the most important thing is that we want to investigate the students in the third middle school, which is somewhat difficult."
Hearing this sentence, Gu Fan was even more puzzled: "Why?"
Captain Zhang sighed helplessly.
"Because, most of the students in the third middle school have complicated family backgrounds."
"If we want to follow the normal process to investigate them, they will be hindered by their teachers, including their parents."
"Only after all the formalities are completed, they will cooperate unwillingly."
Gu Fan blinked and thought about it.
"Well, in fact, we don't need to investigate them one by one."
"First of all, the situation of others in school uniforms committing crimes can be ignored for the time being."
"Secondly, there is no need to check those students who live on campus."
Hearing what Gu Fan said, Captain Zhang scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Why? You have to know that the third middle school is not under semi-militarized management, and students who live on campus can usually leave the school."
Gu Fan lowered his head and touched his chin with his fingers.
"When we first looked at the information of the missing persons, it was wrong to say that their disappearances had nothing in common."
"Their disappearance has one very important thing in common, and that is time."
"The time they disappeared, including morning, noon, and night. Whether they found it, it was all students' rest time."
"In this way, we can determine with a high probability that the murderer is the student, and at the same time we can rule out the case of others wearing school uniforms."
"In addition, students who live on campus can indeed leave the school, but note that the time when the six missing persons disappeared is around midnight."
"I don't believe that a student who lives on campus will risk being discovered and will go out at midnight to commit crimes. If this is the case, it can only show that he is too reckless and does not fit the identity of a high IQ person. "
Hearing this, Captain Zhang nodded.
"If that's the case, it would be too simple."
"There are more than 5,000 students in the third middle school, but less than 1,000 people do not live in the school. Most of them are excluded at once."
At this time, Gu Fan continued.
"Those who come to study in Jing'an District No. 3 Middle School from other places are also excluded."
"We only need to investigate, a native of Jing'an District."
Hearing this, Captain Zhang was puzzled again.
But when he just wanted to ask a question, Ma Xiaoling on the side had already explained it for him.
"Only the natives of Jing'an District are so familiar with surveillance cameras, various roads, and various hidden places."
"Especially he has to walk underground, and he has to have a good understanding of the overall structure of Jing'an District."
Captain Zhang nodded without understanding.
"In this case, the number of investigations can be reduced by more than half."
Gu Fan blinked, his expression gradually serious.
"Then check it like this first, get rid of the situations we said, and send the rest of the information to me as soon as possible."
Captain Zhang nodded and went busy immediately.
But after Captain Zhang left, Gu Fan's brows became more frowning.
Seeing this situation, Ma Xiaoling on the side asked: "What's wrong?"
Gu Fan shook his head and said helplessly.
"I always feel a little strange, but I can't tell."
Ma Xiaoling looked at Gu Fan and said seriously.
"Strange? Very strange indeed."
"Generally speaking, when a murderer commits a crime, especially this kind of multi-person disappearance, the murderer will not easily stop. But when the number of missing people reaches 15, no one has been missing for a long time until now."
"Then what is his purpose? Does he only need 15 people?"
Gu Fan looked at Ma Xiaoling and nodded.
"Indeed, his purpose is really strange. But what I worry about is that since the 15 people disappeared, there hasn't been any news."
"There are no corpses, no strange things happen, as if he had captured 15 people and just hid them first."
"If I were a murderer, I would need 15 people to help me do things on the 10th. To be on the safe side, I will catch everyone on the 7th, 8th, and 9th within three days, and there won't be so long in between. Because the longer the time, the easier it is to be discovered by others."
Ma Xiaoling also frowned, thinking seriously.
"Then what do you mean?"
Gu Fan shook his head ~EbookFREE.me~ as if to throw some bad things out of his head.
"Maybe I'm too worried. I'm worried that the murderer is waiting for us."
"If he wants to accomplish his purpose, he probably needs a supernatural person like us. Therefore, he caught so many ordinary people in advance just to lead us over."
"Of course, this is just my guessing. But you still have to be careful."
Ma Xiaoling nodded when he heard the words.
"Don't worry, I know."
After a while, Captain Zhang came back excitedly.
"Gu Fan, according to what you said, we eliminated the students in the third middle school, leaving only 186 students."
"Their information is here, you can take a look."
