Chapter 214 Lock
Yorks listened silently as Tifa analyzed, but he agreed with her judgment in his heart.

Tifa's analysis is all based on facts, which makes a lot of sense.

It also made his mind clearer.

"There are no signs of fighting at the first crime scene. I assume that the unidentified suspect is a white man with a strong body." Tifa said. After thinking deeply, she began to profile the murderer.

"He has the power to easily suppress his own people. Based on this, I believe the murderer is roughly 25 to 35 years old and over 1.8 meters tall."

Tifa glanced at York. Her man was just such a man. Not only was he physically strong, but his penis was also big, which could bring her a strong sense of satisfaction.

Hearing this, York nodded.

This age stage is considered to be the peak stage of the human body, both in terms of physical strength and other aspects.

Twenty-five years old is the time when your explosive power, thinking ability and lung function are at their peak.

Thirty is the peak of male fertility.

Before adulthood, the calcium and bone mass of the bones are constantly built, shaped and rebuilt, and bone mass reaches its peak at the age of thirty-five.

"He pays attention to the news, crime cases, and personal hygiene." Tifa's voice kept ringing.

Yorks automatically put himself in the situation and learned the thinking behind it.

He is not a fool, but he lacks this kind of thinking.

There is a saying that can illustrate this point: those who are involved are often the most confused. It is like when you see these things at the scene, but you don’t think about it from this perspective. It takes someone to remind you before you suddenly wake up and think of it.

He needs to learn this kind of thinking and make it a habit, which will definitely bring him great benefits.

Just like now, Yorks directly knew the basis of Tifa's profile.

If the murderer didn't pay attention to personal hygiene, how could he have cleaned the scene without leaving any traces?

If the murderer was not physically strong and powerful, how could he easily subdue the victim and successfully tie up the victim?
Fortunately, with Tifa there, he now had a more concrete picture of the murderer.

"When I was in the FBI, I learned something very important," Tifa said, pausing and picking up the wine glass to look at York.

York came out of his thoughts and asked, "What?"

"Murder cases of this nature are always accompanied by rape." Tifa said calmly, taking the last sip of red wine.

York naturally picked up the bottle of red wine, poured it into the red wine glass in Tifa's hand, and continued.

"So there was no penetration of sexual organs in this case. It was a form of sexual disorder, which shows that the murderer's sexual ability was insufficient and could not be treated even if he went to the hospital. Therefore, his sexual orientation began to become distorted. He knew that he could not give normal women enough satisfaction, so his sexual objects began to change to weak, underage girls.

Even his profession must be one that allows him to naturally gain the trust of the homeowner.”

Tifa smiled, as bright as a flower, and nodded.

Yorks immediately stood up and walked towards Tifa, put his hands on Tifa's face, looked at her smiling face and spoke seriously and excitedly.

"Tifa, I'm glad you're here."

He finally understood why there was such a profession as criminal psychologist, why the FBI had such a department and why its status was quite high.

After Tifa's analysis, his thoughts became clearer.

Because more information was obtained, that is, the murderer went to the hospital to check his body, and his age was narrowed down to between 25 and 35 years old. He was also strong and about 1.8 meters tall.

The profession may be related to rope tying, but the most important thing is that it must be closely related to the family and personal daily life. Only in this way can it be considered a profession that can naturally make the homeowner let down his guard.

Tifa raised her eyebrows slightly: "Isn't it for this reason that I came back?"

York felt warm in his heart, kissed her lips which were moistened by red wine, and then strode away.

"You don't have to wait for me tonight. I may be back very late."

Tifa raised her wine glass.

York got back into the pickup truck, left the garage, and drove towards the detective bureau, thinking about the murderer's occupation information in his mind.

He could only think of two major directions for a career that was closely related to family and personal daily life, and even occasionally required small tools such as tying ropes.

That is the domestic service industry, as well as the logistics and express delivery industry.

The domestic service industry involves plumbers, cleaners, porters, etc. Although tying ropes is not the main job content of these occupations, it is undoubtedly very practical when organizing some things or moving something.

In the logistics and express delivery industries, cargo packing and bundling are an important part of their daily work. Only by mastering effective rope tying techniques can the safety and stability of cargo during transportation be ensured.

When York returned to the detective bureau, the lights in the Fourth Squadron's office were still on, which made him shrug.

It seemed that he was the only one who was a little too leisurely.

But when I walked into the office, I found that this was not the case.

Old-timer Shesky and Edna are nowhere to be seen.

Only the deputy captain Chris and the captain Gregory were sitting in front of a computer, doing nothing.

I think he was watching the surveillance.

For murder cases, surveillance is a relatively important link. These two cases are most likely committed by the same murderer. Although there is no surveillance, surveillance areas have been installed on the government-related streets.

"A deputy captain and a captain are still working overtime?" York walked over and said.

Gregory and Chris looked up at him, seemingly not surprised that York had come back.

"This is our responsibility," said Gregory.

"Otherwise, don't be a police officer."

Hearing this, York just smiled, too lazy to participate in this topic, walked over and stood behind the two of them, facing the computer.

He was right.

These two people were indeed watching the surveillance.

"Where did they go?" York asked.

Gregory knew what York meant and glanced at him: "They went out to eat together and will be back later."

York raised an eyebrow, looked at the surveillance camera and asked indifferently, "Did you gain anything?"

Chris shook her head. "I looked for a long time, but basically didn't find anything suspicious. Everything seemed normal."

York said calmly, "Would you like to hear my new opinion?"

Gregory looked at York, then exchanged a glance with Chris, then looked at the watch on his wrist and said.

"Wait a little longer, Shesky and Edna will be back soon."

Yorks nodded. He knew what Gregory meant. He was afraid that Shesky or someone else might have found some new clues and they needed to have a meeting to discuss them.

The three of them continued to watch the surveillance on the computer screen tacitly. Not long after, just as Gregory said, Shesky and Edna appeared at the door with the coffee they had just packed in their hands.

Shesky even raised the package in his hand and said to him: "Congratulations on not missing out on the benefits of working overtime at night."

Edna just smiled slightly. York took the coffee from Shesky and said, "It's just coffee. It's not enough. I need some snacks."

Shesky's eyes widened: "How about donuts!"

York smiled and said, "OK."

Strangely enough, it seems that people in the detective department are more keen on these snacks than patrol officers.

But if you think about it, most of the work of a detective requires the use of the brain, and the calories in donuts can quickly make up for the energy consumption.

"Eating donuts at night won't make you fat." Shesky muttered to York who didn't care, and shared all the coffee in his hand.

Gregory picked up the pen and paper on the table, thanked Sheskey, and walked towards the conference room.

"Meeting!"

Empty meeting room.

With the assistance of Edna, the logistics staff, everyone took their seats one after another and received the same documents.

This is the latest investigation report from the Forensic Department.

But after York took a look, he could basically find no more clues, and could only improve the previous details.

But from these details, it seems that the murderer was quite careful and very familiar with the victim's house.

This undoubtedly verified that his and Tifa's ideas were generally correct.

The murderer definitely gained the trust of the homeowner because of his profession, and even entered the house at the homeowner's invitation.

While everyone was looking at the document report, Gregory in the front spoke up to break the silence.

"Shesky, tell me about your findings."

York immediately looked up at Shesky. According to the previous assignment, Shesky was responsible for investigating whether there was anything special about the victims' binding methods and knots, or which group would use this knotting method.

This was much more relaxing than the direction he and Chris were in charge of.

Even he and Chris didn't have time to act.

Shesky noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, nodded and spoke.

"Edna and I checked online and found out that the knot used by the murderer is a fisherman's knot."

York was a little surprised to hear this.

Fisherman? This seemed a bit far from what he thought this career path would be.

But York thought again, fishing is just a hobby, and there is a difference between it and a profession.

"Fisherman's Knot, also known as the Fisherman's Knot, is a knot commonly used to connect two ropes, especially in fishing and outdoor activities."

Sheskey recounted.

“Because of its simple structure, it is easy to learn and master. Due to its unique winding method, the fisherman’s knot can not only withstand greater tension, but also ensure the stability of the connection.

The fisherman's knot is also very versatile and is not only suitable for connecting ropes of the same diameter, but also for connecting ropes of different diameters. It is very practical."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, his tone was quite strange: "Could it be that the murderer has a hobby of fishing? Or does he have any occupation related to fishermen?"

Yorks wanted to express his thoughts, but Chris spoke first.

"It may not be related to his profession, but the murderer is probably someone who likes fishing."

Sheskey nodded.

For a moment, the scene fell silent again.

Because there is only this one clue, and it seems to be useless, and being useless means there is no progress.

The fishermen seemed too far away from this modern city.

Now, we are stuck again and can only start from the source of the ropes.

Gregory frowned, looked at York and said, "Didn't you say you have a new opinion?"

Everyone's attention shifted to York again.

York nodded, closed the file and reported: "It is very likely that the murderer entered the hospital."

Everyone was surprised, but Gregory said, "Every one of us has been to the hospital. Starting from the hospital is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Everyone nodded slightly.

"So we keep the identity of the murderer within a certain range?" York said.

"For example, we now know that the murderer may have a hobby of fishing."

Then, without waiting for them to raise new questions, Yorks directly told them all of his and Tifa's analysis.

Because of his lack of sexual ability, the murderer has been to the hospital and had his own defects checked. He is likely to be admitted to the men's surgery or urology department.

Being able to easily suppress and control the victim means that the murderer is definitely not physically weak, but is even in his prime, so he is between 25 and 35 years old, physically strong, and as tall as 1.8 meters.

There were no signs of a struggle or more, and the murderer was even very familiar with the house, which meant that the murderer had gained the trust of the homeowner, who was also the victim. His occupation was most likely related to the domestic service industry, or the logistics and express delivery industry.

If we go into more detail, the occupation is manual labor and the gender is male, which eliminates many options, such as nanny and other jobs that only women can do.

At the same time, because the victims basically live in middle-class communities, it can also be assumed that the murderer is white, which makes it easier for him to gain the trust of people of the same skin color than other skin colors.

One sentence after another, very reasonable and well-founded words came out of York's mouth.
Everyone's eyes gradually lit up, especially Shesky, who looked at York as if he was really looking at a magical creature.

The most difficult thing about a case like this that doesn't seem to have many clues is the direction of the initial investigation.

Although it will be gradually improved in the future and we will also think in this direction, time is money.

Now what York said very clearly created a murderer with many characteristics.

This made him very excited, as if his blocked brain suddenly became clear at that moment.

Of course, it's not just Sheskey who feels the same way. Gregory and Chris also feel the same way.

"Yorks, your analysis makes sense!"

Chris breathed a sigh of relief: "So in addition to finding out the source of the rope, we also need to check the nearby hospitals, mainly the men's department, based on the scenes of the two cases."

York nodded and agreed, "Now maybe we have to add to this the fact that the patient likes fishing. I think the murderer may live in the suburbs."

The more features there are, the easier it is to identify the murderer.

Gregory continued: “Since the profession is in the domestic service industry, or the logistics and courier industry, monitoring is particularly important.”

He said seriously: "We can screen out all the vehicles, focusing on those related to the domestic service industry, logistics and express delivery industry, and combine them with the hospital."

Everyone nodded. What they lacked was an idea and a breakthrough point for the investigation. Now that they had found it, they naturally knew how to investigate.
