Chapter 17 first quarter

On October 30, 1966, the day before All Souls' Day, Kiri Joo Bates spent the Sunday morning with her father Chushef Bates in Livesay, 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles .The father and daughter first went to St. Catherine's Church for Mass, and then went to Zendi Restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and then split into two groups, Chushev went to the beach, and Kiri Cho went home to study. Qi Rui Qiao Bates is a first-year student at Riverside City University. She is 163 meters tall and weighs 53 kilograms. She has flaxen hair and blue eyes. Regular outdoor exercise makes her skin a healthy tan.Qirui Qiao has been a member of the school's football cheerleading team from middle school to university.Not only is she a good student with excellent grades, but she also has an after-school job at a bank.Her ideal is to be a stewardess after graduation.Kiri Choo's older brother is in the U.S. Navy, stationed in Florida on the east coast.Since her mother passed away a year ago, Qirui Qiao and her father depended on each other for life.Chushev Bates is a mechanic at the Corona Naval Ordnance Laboratory.

Around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Rui Qiao decided to go to the school library.She wanted to call a friend to go with her, but that friend had other business.Qi Rui Qiao wrote a note to her father, and saw Chushev come back just as she left the house.Later, when Chushev went out again, he left a note for his daughter. It was nearly midnight when Chushef Bates got home, and the note he had left before he left was still there.But Chushev is not very worried. After all, her daughter is an 18-year-old girl who can take care of herself.Besides, tomorrow is All Souls' Day, and she might be with some girlfriend to discuss childish tricks.

When Chushev woke up the next morning, he found that his daughter had not returned.He called Qi Rui Qiao's friends around, but no one knew she was there.Chushev Bates immediately called the police. Within an hour, Kiri Choo Bates, who was on the police report, was no longer a missing person—a park ranger at Riverside City University found her along a secluded path near the library parking lot. corpse.The scene at the scene was shocking, and it can really be described as "horrible".Qi Rui Qiao fell face down in a pool of blood.She suffered three stab wounds to her chest, one to her back and seven to her neck.Judging from the condition of the wound, the murder weapon should be a small knife with a blade 3.5 inches long and 0.5 inches wide.The wound on Qi Rui Qiao's neck was so deep that the jugular vein, carotid artery and throat were severed, and the neck was almost cut off. It seemed that the murderer not only wanted to kill her, but also tried to cut off her head.Qirui Qiao still had marks of being pinched on her neck, several cuts on her face, and bruised and purple spots all over her body.

In the next few days, the police interviewed many witnesses in an attempt to clarify the whereabouts of Kiri Choo Bates before her death.At around 5:30 that afternoon, Kiri Choo had called her colleagues at the Riverside National Bank to ask if they had seen the bibliography for her term paper.That was the last time anyone spoke to her. A few minutes after 6 o'clock, a friend saw Qi Rui Qiao driving her light green Volkswagen to the library.Another passerby noticed a bronze Oldsmobile closely following the green car of a woman with flaxen hair. About 200 feet, or 60 meters, away from the body of Qi Rui Qiao at the scene of the crime, her light green Volkswagen sedan was still parked in the parking lot of the library, with a few books she had just checked out from the library on the front seat.The investigators found that someone cut off the center line of the power distribution coil used to start the engine in the car, and there were several greasy palm prints and fingerprints of unknown origin inside and outside the car.Based on this, the police concluded that the murderer followed Qi Rui Qiao to the library, destroyed the ignition device on the car, and then hid nearby and waited.It is very likely that he watched Qi Rui Qiao come out of the library start the engine, and when she failed after repeated attempts, he offered to help, or offered to send Qi Rui Qiao home.Regardless of whether Qi Rui Qiao knew him or not, she eventually followed him into the dark.Between two empty office buildings, the murderer murdered her.

By American standards, Qi Rui Qiao is short in stature, but she has the physique of an athlete.According to the evidence collected at the scene, Qirui Qiao fought desperately with the murderer before dying.There were several self-defense wounds on her hands, wrists, and two arms, and blood scabs, fine hair, and skin tissue were embedded between the nails.The ground beneath her, in the words of one reporter, "looks like it has just been plowed by a plow".On the lawn 10 feet away from the body, the police found a men's Tianba watch with paint splashes. The end of the 7-inch strap connected to the watch was severed, and the hands on the watch stopped at 12:23. point.According to the police's subsequent investigation, the watch is a military watch specially made for the United Kingdom, and the paint is ordinary family outdoor paint.Men's shoe prints, approximately a size 10, were also found around the scene.

According to the testimonies provided to the police by two students who passed by the scene that night, they heard a "very shrill scream" at around 10:30, followed by a "dumb and hoarse low horn". A few minutes later, There was a loud noise of starting a car, the sound of a dilapidated old car.This hour is consistent with the forensic inferred time of death.What is puzzling is that the library closes at 9 o'clock on Sunday night. According to Qi Rui Qiao's book borrowing records, she should be in the library before 9 o'clock.So, the murderer talked with the victim for more than an hour before committing the crime?Or pretended to dawdle for a long time to repair the car, to buy time and wait until everyone around the library left?

What made the police even more puzzling was that the motive for the murder was neither rape nor robbery.Qirui Qiao was still fully dressed, her underwear had not been torn or opened, and the forensic autopsy did not reveal any traces of sexual activity.In the handbag next to the corpse, Qi Rui Qiao's various documents were intact, and there was less than one dollar in cash.And the police also believe that the average robber would not go to such great lengths to damage the car first and then sit and wait for hours.Besides, a student working hard in the library is not an ideal target for robbery.

A few days later, at the funeral of Kiri Choo Bates, the police closely watched the behavior of everyone present, trying to see some flaws or find some clues, but in the end they still had a relationship with the distraught old father. Similarly, I don't understand why Miss Bates died unexpectedly. Almost a full month later, on November 29, 1966, the Leviside Police Department and a local newspaper, The Leviside Entrepreneur, each received an anonymous letter with the same content and several pages in length.The person who wrote the letter seemed to be very smart. He probably stacked no less than ten pages of carbon paper, typed the letter on a typewriter, and took out two sheets from the middle to send it. Therefore, the police can only guess that he used a portable Crown brand typewriter, but the specific model cannot be deduced.Its lead type is either Pica type or Elite type.White paper, rough textured, 8 inches wide, with the upper and lower parts torn off to make it roughly square.The letter was mailed from a remote country post box, and the envelope had no stamp or return address.The entire letter was written in capital letters from beginning to end, and its content not only stated the details in sufficient detail to prove its credibility, but also avoided leaving any clues that would make it possible for the police to track down the author of the letter.The full text of the letter follows:

 my confession She had been so young and beautiful, but now she was ravaged to death.She's not the first, and she won't be the last. Countless sleepless nights, I lay in the dark imagining my next victim.Or the little nanny next to a certain shop, with her beautiful blond hair, who walks down a dark alley around 7 o'clock every night.Or the shapely, dark-skinned, blue-eyed girl who turned down my invitation to date in middle school.Or some other girl.But whoever it is, I will cut off her female organs and show them to the whole city.So I tell you, don't let me get you so easily, keep your wives, daughters, and sisters safe from the streets.Miss Bates was a fool who went to the butcher like a lamb without even a fight.I cut the neutral wire to the power distribution coil on her car first, then sat in the library and waited for her.About two minutes after she left the library, I followed suit.By then, the battery in that Volkswagen sedan must have died.I offered to help and she was more than happy to accept.I told her my car was parked down the street and why not let me drive her home.When we were away from the library, I said, it's about time, and she asked, "When is it?" I said, it's about your fucking time.I strangled her neck from behind, covered her mouth tightly with one hand, and held a short knife in the other hand to cut her throat.She remained motionless, submissively at my mercy.Her breasts are warm and firm in my palm.But there was only one thought on my mind at the time: that she had to pay for her indifference and rejection of me over the years.She died in excruciating pain.When I strangled her neck and suffocated her, her whole body convulsed and twitched, and her lips twisted out of shape.She let out a howl and I kicked her on the head to shut her up.I stabbed the knife into her body and it broke.The last thing I did was chop her neck.I'm not sick, I'm just in a trance.But this does not prevent the game from continuing.You should publish this letter for all to read.This might save the women in the streets.But this is your business, your decision, not mine.Yes, I did call you guys back then.That's just a warning.Watch out - I'm stalking you girls right now.

Delivery: Commissioner of Police entrepreneur The letter was written with falsehoods, such as the words in the letter that Qi Rui Qiao Bates "had no struggle and resistance" and "obediently let me manipulate", etc., which obviously did not match the situation at the scene and Qi Rui's・The self-defense injuries on Buckwheat do not match.But "cutting the center line of the power distribution coil on her car" is internal information that the police have not made public.As for whether the dagger was broken in Qi Rui Qiao's body, the autopsy report did not provide any evidence in this regard.The consensus among several detectives from the Liveside Police Department in recent speeches is that the knife did not break.The last phone call mentioned in the letter could not be verified.The police deduced from this that the so-called Qirui Qiao's "indifference and rejection of me for many years" and the "blue-eyed girl" who "rejected my invitation to date her in middle school" may also be just letter writers The rambunctious words may not necessarily be true.But one thing is certain, it is difficult for this person to please girls.Frequent misses in front of women caused him to develop abnormal psychology.

The only handwriting left by the sender was on two envelopes, where he had written the recipient's address in hand with a dip pen.Both addresses are written very irregularly: Entrepreneur Daily Homicide Branch Liveside, California Please turn in: Crime Team A fingerprint was found on the envelope received by the police, which did not match the fingerprints of all the suspects in this case, and it was difficult to determine whether it was left by the postman or someone else.The envelope is postmarked the same day as it was received. On November 30, the police station and the newspaper office respectively handed over the anonymous letter to the postal inspection department of the Leviside area, and the department forwarded it to the FBI.Homicides shouldn't be the FBI's business, but mailing threatening letters is.But because the letter did not target specific intimidation targets, the FBI ended up filing a symbolic case without conducting any substantive investigations. This anonymous letter really made the Riverside Police Department nervous for several months.Fortunately, the second murder, which everyone had been dreading for a long time, did not happen. Unfortunately, the investigation and detection of the case made little progress until the spring of the following year, about five months after the murder, when Riverside City University A library cleaner read a little poem on a folding desk while cleaning tables and chairs in a storage room.These tables and chairs were put into the storage room before the winter vacation in December of the first year.The author writes the poems on the wooden table with a blue pen.The full poem is translated as follows: tired of life don't want to die plug in, pull out Wipe the blade if that red can be wiped off blood is spraying dripping flowing splashed all over her brand new dress Oh my God finally red no matter what Life is drained bit by bit into the nameless death she won't die this time someone will find her then wait until Maybe next time I don't know whether it is a coincidence or the author's ingenuity, but the abbreviation of the first two names of the president of Riverside City University at that time happened to be rh——RH Brasil.No one knows exactly when the poem was inscribed, and authorities are not entirely sure that its handwriting matches that of the anonymous envelope and the perpetrator's handwriting that police later obtained.Some amateur poets believe that this is just the venting of a suicide attempt.But police eventually took photos of the desk as physical evidence and included it in the Bates murder file. On April 30, 1967, the six-month anniversary of the murder of Kiri Choo Bates, the police, the newspaper, and Kiri Choo's father, Chushef Bates, received three anonymous letters with almost identical content at the same time. Short message.As in the previous letter, the author uses all capital letters, only this time in pencil on lined paper.The letter sent to the police station and the "Liveside Entrepreneur" reads: bates must die more will follow in his footsteps The signature is a "Z" or "2" letter or number.The letter Chushev received had "she" replaced by "Bates" and was unsigned. The three text messages did not provide the police with any clues to solve the case.Since then, the perpetrator has disappeared, and the murder of Kiri Choo Bates has been buried in the file room of the Riverside Police Department for four years. In the late 1960s, Vileo and Benicia, 20 miles due north of San Francisco, were just two growing towns.Climb up the small hill to the south of Villeo to have a bird's-eye view of San Pablo Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.Among the several roads connecting Vileo and Benicia, there is a road along Heman Lake from the east of Vileo Town to the north of Benicia Town. It is beautiful and sparsely populated. It is a date for boys and girls. The perfect location, known as "Love Road". Friday, December 20, 1968, five days before Christmas.Dai Wei Arthur Faraday and his girlfriend Pete Lou Jessin met for a tryst that night. 17-year-old Dai Wei is tall and strong. He is an athlete and a top student at Vileo Middle School.Petty, who was a year younger than him, was sweet and sweet, and had good grades, because she lived on the other side of town and went to Hogan Secondary School.They had agreed in advance to lie to their respective families that it was going to the school's Christmas concert.The parents of the two families did not inquire too much about their whereabouts, because these two good children have almost never caused any trouble. After dinner, Dai Wei drove his mother's 1961 brown Rambler minivan to pick up Peidi.They left Peidi's house at 8:30, went to see a friend first, bought a bottle of Coke at the entrance of Mr. Ed's drive-in theater around 9 o'clock, and then drove to "Lovers Road".They came to the pumping station on the east side of Lake Herman and parked on a gravel field not far from the road. That night, Stella Borg's son was in the Christmas play at school.The Burgers lived about two miles from the pumping station on Lake Herman Road.
