Chapter 18 second quarter

At 11:15, Stella drove to school to pick up her son.When she passed the place where Dai Wei and Pei Di were parked, she found the door of the brown Rambler passenger seat was open in the light of the headlights, and after a closer look, Dai Wei was lying on his back on the ground close to the door , Peddy fell about 30 feet away from the rear of the car.Police later speculated that this was about as far as she could get while trying to escape the killer's bullet.Scared to death, Stella intercepted a Benicia police car on patrol as she sought help. Constable Daniel Bidder and Constable Wayne Warner rushed to the scene.At that time, the engine of Ran Pole's car had not been turned off, and the motor was still hot. It is estimated that the two young people were trying to keep the car warm.Although the passenger door was open, the other three doors were locked.Judging from this and the position where the two fell, the murderer deliberately let them go out through the same door, so as to prevent them from escaping in different directions.Bits of blood stretched from the car door to Peti's body, more blood gushed from her nose and mouth, and there was a large pool of blood beside her.Peidi Lu Jiexin had stopped breathing, and Dai Wei was still alive. At 12:05, when the ambulance carrying Dai Wei Arthur Faraday arrived at Villeo General Hospital, the doctor declared him dead.

Because the location of the incident was not within the jurisdiction of the Benicia Police Station, Officer Bida immediately notified the Sorano Regional Police Station to which Vileo and Benicia belonged after receiving the report.About midnight, Detective Sergeant Les Lumberard of the District Police arrived.Daniel and Wei Lian handed over the case to Rice to take over.Such cross-jurisdictional operations usually bring unnecessary troubles, thus increasing the difficulty and complexity of the detection work. Several witnesses saw Dai Wei's car at the scene of the crime, including a couple who drove by twice between 10:15 and 10:30.Two other hunters by the lake saw the brown Rambler just after 11 o'clock.Perhaps to be more stealthy, Dai Wei turned the car around after parking on the side of the road, so that the passenger seat faced the road.

There was also a strange incident that may be connected with the case that night in this section of Herman Lake Road. Around 9:00, a light-colored or white four-door sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Impala, was seen parked near the gate of the pumping station. Around 10 o'clock, several people saw the same car at the same location. Between 9:00 and 10:00, around 9:30, two young men on a date parked their car on the side of the road not far from the water pumping station.At this time, a car heading west towards Vileo drove past them, slowed down, stopped, and then slowly reversed towards them.The two young men felt something was wrong, so they quickly started the car and drove towards Benicia.The car made an emergency U-turn and chased after them until they took the first exit they encountered and watched as the car continued east on Lake Herman Road.Several witnesses who saw Dai Wei's car also noticed a white Chevrolet near the pumping station.

No fingerprints, ruts or signs of struggle were found at the murder scene.The police found a total of 10 bullets and casings of the copper-plated Super X bullets launched by Winchester in October 1967 on the ground inside and outside the car, and in the victim's body. From this, the police judged that the murder weapon should be .22 High Standard Model 101 semi-automatic pistol, or .22 J.C. Huggens Model 80 automatic rifle. According to the slight shoe prints left on the gravel ground and the ballistic evidence, it is very likely that the gunman approached the Rampoller from behind, first shot the rear window on the right, then the rear wheel on the left, and then came to the front left, that is, Driver's window.This forced the two young men to open the front door of the passenger seat and flee in a panic.Peidi was already injured at this time, and she began to run forward desperately.She was shot five times, all on the right side of the back, between the fifth and sixth ribs and down to the pelvis.If she was shot while running wild, it means the killer was a good shot.Later, the police found two bullets on the ground that were fired in the direction of Peidi's escape, indicating that the murderer missed two shots.It is also possible that after Peti fell down due to being shot, or from previous injuries, or other reasons such as falling, the murderer rushed forward and aimed at her several times until all the bullets were exhausted.According to the medical examiner's autopsy report, all bullets ranged within 10 feet.Of course, even so, it does not rule out that the perpetrator has good marksmanship.That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the target was moving fast, so it was inevitable that it would sometimes fly.Dai Wei was shot only once in the head, passing through the brain above the left ear.The ammunition powder and burn marks around the wound indicated that the muzzle of the gun was very close, and it might have hit Dai Wei's head.The bullet did not pass through, but exploded in Dai Wei's head, causing a large lump on his right cheek, shattering his skull, and his hair was clotted with blood.Later, the forensic doctor found the fatal bullet on the right side of Dai Wei's skull.After Dai Wei fell down, his feet were next to the rear wheels, but his head deviated from the front of the car, and his entire body was at an angle of about 45° to the side of the car.Mike Al, an expert from New Jersey, believes that Dai Wei also got out of the car alive. He just took a step or two when the murderer was behind him.Perhaps the murderer put a gun to the back of his head, or ordered him to stand still. In short, he was shot dead standing at the back door on the right, as if executed.Then the murderer caught up with Peidi and fired all the bullets, otherwise he might have turned around and fired two more shots at Dai Wei.

The whole process took only a few minutes, which can be corroborated by the testimonies of those passers-by.Stella Borg might even have a brush with the killer.She said she saw a light-colored Chevrolet heading towards Benicia before she found the bodies of the two young men. With no clues at the murder scene leading the police to a conclusion of robbery or rape, what was the motive for the shooting?Jieshen's family told the investigators that Peidi once rejected a boy, and that boy kept harassing and threatening Dai Wei.However, the police investigation found that the boy had a very credible alibi on the night of the crime.He went to his sister's birthday party and watched Global Events until 11 with an Isle of Mel police officer.Besides, if it was really this boy, how would he explain the fact that another couple was being stalked?

Despite the best efforts and assistance of Solano Regional Police Detective Les Lumberard, who is in charge of the case, and despite the joint bounty placed on the case by students from Villeo Middle School and Hogan Middle School, But still no clues about the murderer.As author Robert Gremisch puts it in his bestselling book Zodiak: "There were no witnesses, no motives, no suspects." 22-year-old Dailin Elizabeth Fallon is charming and sociable.She lives east of Villeo with her husband, Dean Furlan, and their youngest daughter, Dana.Shortly after the Lake Herman Road murders, Dylan told a co-worker at Terry's that she knew one of the victims, Petty Jessin, from Hogan High School.And said the murder had terrified her, and she never dared to go to that end of town again.

Six and a half months after the Faraday-Jeson murders, on the afternoon of July 4, 1969, on Independence Day, Dylan first called her friend Michael Renault Macchio, age 19, and asked if he could Unable to come to her house for the Independence Day party that night, she left her daughter, Dana, and the two baby sisters at home, and went to the Italian restaurant where Dean worked to tell her husband that she and her sister, Christine Na made an appointment to go to Mel Island to watch the navy's water fleet performance.Dean told Dailin that he invited several colleagues to have a party at home after get off work, and reminded Dailin not to forget to buy firecrackers when he came back.Dailin picks up Christina from her parents' house, and the two sisters go to Taylor's Restaurant to invite Dailin's friends to a party.There, Dylan called Michael again before leaving for Mel Island.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when the sisters returned to Vileo from Mel Island.Dean wasn't off work yet.Dylan made a phone call home from an Italian restaurant while stopping by to see her husband.The nannies said someone had called from Terry's, so the sisters went to Terry again, and Dylan took Christina home. Dailin planned to send the two babysitters away first when she got home, and then come back to clean up the house and prepare for the party.But she changed her mind after answering a phone call.She asked the little sisters who were looking after Dana if they could stay a little longer while she went out to buy firecrackers.

Dylin picked him up at his home around 11:30, according to Michael Renault Macchio later told police.Michael had obviously been waiting impatiently. When he ran out of the house, the lights were still on and the TV was on. He got in the car and left with Dailin without even closing the door.Soon they found a light-colored car following them.In order to shake off her tail, Dailin drove the car through many turns and turns, and unknowingly detoured out of Villeo along Columbus Avenue heading northeast, and finally came to the Bluestone Springs Golf Course about two miles outside the town.Although it is not as secluded as Heman Lake Road, it is also a place for lovers to meet.When Dailin parked her Xuewei Koval car in the parking lot, a car from the direction of Villeo also drove into the parking lot.The driver turned off the lights and stopped about 6 feet to 8 feet to the left of Dylin, but did not turn off the ignition.It was a 1958 or 1959 brown Falcon sedan.In the darkness, they couldn't tell if this was the car that had followed them just now.When Michael asked Dylan if she knew the driver, she replied, "Oh, it's fine." Michael later recalled that he couldn't figure out whether Dylan meant she did or didn't.After a while, the brown falcon left the parking lot and headed towards Vileo at a fast speed.

Less than five minutes later, the car was back.This time, it came to a stop about 10 feet behind and to the right of Dylan and Michael with its lights on, and the light fell right on Sherwi Kowal.The driver got out of the car, holding a very bright light, more likely a flashlight.He straightened his arms so that the flashlight was at shoulder height, keeping his face and body in shadow.The bright light from the torch shone directly into Dylin's and Michael's eyes.The man walked towards the passenger seat in silence, which Michael thought was very police-like.He was reaching for his ID when the visitor suddenly shot at them, and bullets rained down on Michael's face and body through the open window of the passenger's seat.The shooting range was so close that several bullets grazed Michael's flesh and hit Dylin.In the panic, Michael scrambled and rolled into the back seat, during which he was shot again in the left knee.The gunman turned to Darlyn, shooting her in both arms as they hung over the steering wheel, and then shooting her in the back several times as she turned to try to avoid bullets.Michael thought the gunshot sounded quiet, possibly with a suppressor on the barrel, but nearby residents reported hearing the gunshot louder than the Independence Day fireworks.

The killer returned to the brown falcon and was about to get into the car when Michael let out a groan.The moment the murderer turned around, Michael saw the appearance of this person.Aged twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a big face, brown curly hair cut short, like the uniform hairstyle of the army, about 177 meters to 179 meters tall, with a very stout body, estimated to weigh 95 kg to 100 Kilo, wearing a navy windbreaker and slacks, revealing a slightly protruding belly.The killer returned to Sherwick Kowal's car and fired two more shots each at Dylin and Michael. Despite the excruciating pain, Michael did not lose consciousness.He struggled to climb back to the front seat, turned on the emergency flashing lights, pushed open the door of the passenger seat and rolled to the ground.From there, he watched as the shooter pulled the car out of the parking lot, turned around and sped toward Viglio.A bullet hit Michael in the jaw and tongue, choking him to death.Fortunately, three young men came out to find their friends and found Michael bloodied in the parking lot. At 12:10 in the middle of the night, the police received a call to the police.It's Saturday, July 5th.Four police officers on duty and detectives arrived within 10 minutes.The scene was bloody.Michael was bleeding from his face, neck, right arm and left leg.The dying Dailin was lying on the steering wheel. She was shot nine times in the body, two in each arm and five in the back.The Xuewei Koval car was still in low gear, the radio and the windows on both sides were open, the engine had not been turned off, and the parking brake had not been pulled.As Detective John Lynch helped Dylan out of the car and laid her flat on the ground to wait for the ambulance, Dylin's lips were pursed and a murmur came from her throat.Dylan had met and dated several cops at Terry's, and her and Dean Furlan's house was next door to the police station.At this time she obviously wanted to say something to them, but no one could distinguish her words.Dailyn Elizabeth Fallon stopped breathing on the way to the hospital and was with Michael and a police officer in the ambulance.Michael Macchio was sent straight to the operating table. In fact, before the three young people, John Lynch and the others had received another call to the police.The son of a Bluestone Springs golf course administrator said he heard several shots and vehicles speeding away.But Independence Day is a day when Americans set off firecrackers and fireworks, so the police didn't pay much attention at the time.Later, in an interview with reporters, John Lynch expressed deep regret for this mistake.If they acted in time, they might be able to obtain the testimony of Dailin Furlan, and even save her life, and maybe they would meet the car where the murderer was fleeing on the way to the scene, and the whole case would be completely different up. In the blood-stained car of Xuewei Kowal, the police found Dylin's handbag and Michael's wallet, as well as 9mm bullet casings.According to Michael Macchio's account of the case, the gunman fired at least nine consecutive shots without reloading, so the murder weapon should be a Browning high-powered semi-automatic pistol with 13 rounds. The bluestone springs golf course was just a mile from the Herman Lake pumping station where the Faraday-Jacson murders occurred, and police inevitably drew comparisons between the two cases.They were all in remote and secluded locations, the victims were all lovers and men in cars, the days were all chosen during festivals, and the murder weapons were all pistols.The difference is that this time the murderer chased all the way, almost driving the two victims to the scene of the crime. When doing background checks on Dailyn Fallon, her friends and acquaintances reported that Dailyn often went out with other men.Although people around were talking about it, Dailin's husband, Dean Felleng, didn't take it seriously, and sometimes defended his wife, saying that she was still young and innocent, and she just wanted to have fun and wouldn't make trouble.More importantly, Dean Furlan had an alibi and was with his colleagues at the time of the crime.Another suspect is Dylin's ex-husband, Jaime, who not only is rumored to have been feared by Dylan, but who also has a gun.But he doesn't match Michael's picture of a murderer at all.There is also a man named George Watt. According to reports, George had been following her for several months before Dailin was killed because he was upset about Dailin's repeated rejections.But he also had an alibi, having been with his wife and children that night. At 0:40 on July 5, half an hour after the second call to the police, Nancy Silova, an operator at the Vileo Police Headquarters, received another call related to this case.A man's voice said, "I want to report a double homicide." He explained the location of the scene in such detail that Nancy felt that he might have memorized his lines or read from a script he had written.Nancy tried to interrupt him several times to ask him questions, but the man ignored him and just continued talking on his own.The man finally said: "They were shot with a 9mm Luger. I killed those two kids from last year too. Goodbye." The 9mm Luger pistol only holds 8 bullets, which is not consistent with Michael's claim that the gunner fired 9 rounds in a row. Seven minutes later, the police found out that the call had come from a public telephone booth, which was located next to the police station and Dailin Furlan's home.A passer-by who was there at the time reported to police that the caller was a stocky caller who matched Michael's description of the killer. About an hour later, at 1:30, there were three calls to Dylan's husband, Dean Felleng, and to Dean's parents' and brother's homes. No one spoke at the other end of the line, only the sound of breathing came from the microphone.To this day, some people still believe that the perpetrator and Dailin knew each other, because the Fallen family had just moved here, and their original number was still listed in the telephone yellow pages. In less than a month, on July 31, 1969, three local newspapers, the "San Francisco Chronicle", "San Francisco Overseer" and "Vileo Contemporary Herald", received three anonymous open letters with similar contents claiming to be the killer.The letter to the San Francisco Chronicle reads: Dear Editor: I was the shooter who killed the two young men at Lake Herman last Christmas, and the girl at the Villeo golf course on Independence Day.To prove it, I present to you some facts known only to me and the police. Christmas 1. The brand of the bullet is Super X 2. A total of 10 bullets were fired 3. The boy approached the car with his feet face up 4. The girl's right body and feet face west Independence Day 1. The girl wears slacks with patterns 2. The boy was also shot in the knee 3. The brand of the bullet is Western Enclosed is a part of the cipher, and the other two parts have been distributed to the San Francisco Overseer and the Villeo Contemporary Herald.Please publish this cipher on the front page of your newspaper, with my identity implied. If you don't publish my password by Friday afternoon, August 1, 1969, I'll be killing people from Friday night onwards.I'll be wandering around all weekend looking for targets, especially single nightcrawlers.I'll keep killing until I have a dozen victims this weekend. At the end of the letter was an overlapping circle and cross, resembling some ancient hieroglyph or astronomical symbol, more like the crosshairs in a gunsight or telescope.This was the mark of Zodiak as it came to be known. After contacting the police and obtaining permission, the newspaper published codes and excerpts from the anonymous letter.The meaning of the police is that some content is not yet suitable for disclosure, and the second is to stimulate the murderer to continue to expose himself.Vileo Police Chief Jack Steels told the media that he doubted the authenticity of the anonymous letter.Yes, Jack Steels said that the letter did reveal some facts that the police have not made public, but this does not mean that the author and the shooter are the same person.In fact, any passerby who saw the scene at the time could have written such a letter.Jack Steeles is hoping for another letter, which does contain details that only the killer and the police know. On August 4th, "Vileo Contemporary Herald" received a three-page anonymous letter.The murderer titled himself "Zodiak" for the first time in the letter.According to the "New English-Chinese Dictionary", Zodiac - zodiac, noun, [day] zodiac.The belt consists of three banded clusters of stars: Orion, Taurus and the Pleiades.Because there are 12 constellations in the belt, Western countries represent the 12 months of the year.The Chinese zodiac is also translated into zodiac in English.The word itself, associated with astronomy, sounds somewhat mystical, imaginative or superstitious.The full text of the anonymous letter follows: Dear Editor: This is Zodiak. At your request, I am more than happy to provide you with more details about my wonderful time in Viglio.By the way, did those codes also give the police countless wonderful moments?If not, please tell them to be happy.When they decipher the code, it will be the day when they are captured. July 4th: I didn't open the door, the windows were already rolled down.The guy sat in the front seat first when I started killing.I took aim at his head with the first shot, but he dodged the bullet by deflecting his head.Then he crawled into the back seat, rolled on the floor, and kept kicking his feet, so I shot him in the knee again.I didn't run away from the killing scene in a hurry after finishing the incident, as those Vileo newspapers exaggerated.I actually drove very slowly so as not to draw attention.The guy who told the police I drove a brown car was a nigger, 40-45 years old, ragged.I was in the phone booth having some fun with the police in Viglio when he passed there.No sooner had I hung up the phone than the blah blah blah, so that nigger noticed me and my car. The Christmas police have been speculating how I hit the living target that night of darkness.Although they didn't say it explicitly, they implied that it wasn't particularly dark that night, and I could still see the light in the sky.nonsense!It was surrounded by mountains and woods.Let me tell you my trick.I wrapped a small pen torch around the barrel with duct tape.If you shine a flashlight on a wall or ceiling, you'll see a black spot 2 to 3 feet in diameter in the center of the aperture.When a flashlight is attached to the barrel, the bullet hits the black spot in the center of the light.I don't need lighting or aiming at all, just dangling the torch like a water hose.The only thing that dissatisfied me was that my feat did not make the front page of the newspaper. No return address. It was mentioned in the letter that the ringing of the phone booth was due to the fact that the Police Headquarters was equipped with an automatic telephone callback system. Meanwhile, the San Francisco police, along with Naval Intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Economic Intelligence, the CIA, and the FBI, were trying to decipher the code.The cipher is divided into three equal parts of 8 lines each of 17 neatly written symbols, including Morse code, Navy military codes, certain theological, meteorological and astronomical symbols, the Greek alphabet, etc. There is some self-encoding.Finishing the job that left experts scratching their heads were two regular readers in North Salinas, 100 miles south of San Francisco, Donald Gene Hatton, a 41-year-old middle school history and economics teacher, and his wife.The couple spent two days, and the results of the deciphering were unanimously confirmed by the experts and published in the newspapers one after another.By Tuesday, August 9th, all three parts of the password were logged out: I like to kill because it's so much more fun than hunting wild animals in the forest because humans are the most dangerous of all animals Killing gives me a huge pleasure It's more pleasurable and thorough and most importantly than taking out sex on a girl The thing is that when I die I will be reborn in heaven and those who were slain will be my slaves I will not reveal my name to you or you will try to hinder or even prevent me from accumulating slaves after life EBEORIETEMETHHPITI The author did not disclose his identity, as promised, which is of course expected.
