Chapter 1352 - 1278: Catching Insects
Jiang Yuan walked around the rubber plantation.
The interior of the rubber plantation is very comfortable; the tall rubber trees provide shade and repel mosquitoes. The ground has been repeatedly cleared by workers using tools like chainsaws, making a stroll in the plantation similar to a walk in the park on dry days.
Especially when the wind blows, even the scant heat is dispersed, allowing one to almost empathize with the feelings of the Dutch back in the day.
One body was discovered within the plantation itself, while the remaining two were concealed within the tree clusters at the edge of the plantation.
If the second body was relatively concealed, the first was essentially in the open—not only was it discovered in an exposed state, but it can be assumed that the murder also occurred in an exposed manner.
By serial killer standards, this killer’s level is not considered high, probably just below average. Their methods were too weak; although they hid the second body among the trees at the edge of the plantation, it was not long after the first murder had occurred, and all victims were plantation workers. In the tense atmosphere at the time, half a day of the victim being out of contact led to a search and eventual police notification.
Accordingly, the police intervened quickly, leading to the swift discovery of the second body.
Needless to say, resorting to body concealment at such a stage was evidently a bit outdated, making its quick discovery unsurprising.
Regarding the third body, only the location of concealment changed, appearing more clever, yet the essential nature remained unchanged—a plantation worker was missing again, prompting alarm, police reports, and police station reactions.
Regarding the choice of targets and methods of concealment, it’s clear this figure is still some distance from being a serial killer.
A true serial killer would not be so adaptive to the environment.
They would act more according to conscience rather than gain—the choice to target plantation employees seems too pragmatic, lacking the freedom of a serial killer and losing the elusive nature that makes investigations difficult.
