The 8th was originally a weekend, but because of the adjustment of the Qingming holiday, everyone in China had to go to work on this day.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Tao Yaping hurried over after receiving a call from the Public Security Bureau.

"Here," Officer Tan greeted her, "We have found some new clues, just so you can come over to identify this person and see if this person is her?"

Tao Yaping walked to the computer and looked at the screen. The footage shows a surveillance video in the community, which is the road in front of her house, and a single woman is walking on the road.

"It's supposed to be her, or the dress she's wearing. ”

The woman walked up to her door, turned around, and was blocked by a row of landscape trees.

"It's an awkward angle for this camera. Officer Tan pursed his lips to show helplessness. "This time is 10:20 a.m. on the 4th, and although the camera doesn't directly capture her entering your house, it is entirely reasonable to assume that she went in at this time and took the card. Then the next day, the theft was attempted, so I found an ATM to withdraw money. ”

Tao Yaping didn't speak, and her heart began to panic.

Officer Tan said again: "Look at the following paragraph again, is it also her?"

The assistant played the second video. The picture was densely crowded, and Officer Tan took a ballpoint pen and clicked on the small person on the screen, asking the assistant to enlarge the image.

Tao Yaping squinted, looked at it carefully, and replied, "It seems to be too." How did she ...... Wearing a mask at all times?"

"Switch angles to play the image from another camera. Officer Tan commanded.

The assistant did as requested, and the third video was shown.

"This is ......" Tao Yaping was so shocked that she was speechless for a while. This is a video of the second children's primary school in Dongshan District when school is out - Hao Hao goes to school in this school.

The mysterious woman is standing on the street corner, facing the school gate, watching the children come out of the school gate one by one and be picked up by their respective parents.

"She's ...... Do you know where my son goes to school?" Tao Yaping's voice trembled.

"Ms. Tao, I have to remind you, watch the time. We found a total of three similar surveillance videos: at about 5:30 p.m. on April 2, 3 and 4, that is, the time when the elementary school ends every day. And your research was stolen, on the 5th. ”

Tao Yaping understood the hint.

Officer Tan continued: "The suspect was squatting at the entrance of the primary school during school hours for three consecutive days before committing the theft. And by such a coincidence, this happens to be the school your son attends. Although we have no knowledge of the suspect's intentions for the time being, we cannot rule out the possibility that she had other plans. She may ...... I really wanted to do something to my child, but I never waited for the opportunity. Ms. Tao, don't you really think who this could be?"

Tao Yaping clasped her hands tightly in front of her abdomen, her face was solemn, and she shook her head helplessly: "I really don't know." ”

"Alright then," Officer Tan sighed, "that's all we've found so far. If you have any new clues, please contact us in time. Don't delay your work time, let's get here today. ”

"Thank you for bothering me. ”

"Where, what's the matter. Officer Tan replied with a smile. He is young, but he is quite enthusiastic about his work. In the end, he imitated the tone of the old criminal policeman and instructed again: "After you go back, you must be vigilant and pay attention to protecting yourself and your family." The suspect's motive is now unknown, and anything could happen. ”

Tao Yaping nodded, said goodbye to them, and withdrew from the public security bureau. Her mind was so chaotic that she had no intention of working, so she asked Director Ma for leave and went home directly.

She lay on the soft bed in her bedroom, thinking about it. Things have gone far beyond expectations and are becoming more and more dangerous. After all, stealing the unit's medicines and one's own bank card is only a loss of property, but now, it may involve personal safety issues. And the most intolerable thing for her is that it involves the safety of her children.

Tao Yaping was very scared and worried. Hao Hao is her life, and there must be no room for mistakes.

Because parking is difficult at the school gate and it is too crowded, she often throws the child down at the intersection and lets the little man walk the last 50 meters by himself. She decided to take her son to school every day from today when she picks up and drops off her children from school.

She stood up to pour herself a glass of water, but was surprised to find that the door to the cloakroom was not closed. No, I have a good habit of closing the door every time I change my clothes. She walked in and took a look, and there was a closet door that wasn't closed, and the sleeve of a dress was tucked out.

She twitched a little in her heart. If you change it in normal times, you may just restore these things casually, and you won't think about it much. But so many strange things have happened lately, and she has to be forced to pay attention everywhere.

She opened the cabinet door and counted the clothes inside. Sure enough, a ginger spring and autumn coat was missing.

Tao Yaping's back suddenly felt cold, and her heart trembled. What does that mean? It could mean that the woman could really come in!

She quickly counted the jewelry, cash, bank cards, all clothes, shoes and even bags at home. Fortunately, there was no shortage of money, just a coat, a pajama and a pair of red flat leather shoes.

Venture in and steal only a few clothes?

Although the loss was not large, Tao Yaping became more and more frightened, and she felt shuddering.

The two clothes that were taken away were both things she didn't like and she rarely wore them. And those shoes, because she was ugly and difficult to match clothes, she didn't wear them once, and they were still brand new.

This is definitely no coincidence!

Just like the CCB card that was stolen, it was the only bank card that did not have the SMS reminder function, so she couldn't find out that someone had withdrawn money in time. The same goes for the clothes taken this time. Because I don't like it, I rarely have the opportunity to wear it. If you don't remember to count it at this time, you won't be able to find it in a short time.

This woman knows her too well, and even knows the many habits and details of her life, as well as her personal preferences, to the point of being outrageous. Liu Cong didn't know himself so well.

Who the hell could it be?!

Tao Yaping couldn't wait any longer, she had to change the door lock for her home. Immediately, immediately. Fingerprints cannot be used because they have already been copied. She had to change to a more advanced and hard-to-crack door lock - the iris lock.

She has never entered the biometric information of her eyeballs anywhere. There is no record, so how can we copy it? This time it should be safe.

On April 9, she replaced the front and back doors of her home with iris locks.

But Tao Yaping was wrong.

On the second day of changing the lock, she found that even a relatively more secure iris lock still couldn't stop the mysterious woman's intrusion.

As soon as she entered the house after work on the 10th, she noticed something strange in her home.

When she opened the door of the shoe cabinet and was about to put the changed shoes inside, she accidentally glanced at a pair of shoes in the corner of the shoe cabinet - it was the red flat shoes that were stolen the day before yesterday.

Suddenly, countless mixed thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

Did she come in, and now hide in a certain room of this house? This is the strongest thought in Tao Yaping's heart at this moment. With a high-tech iris lock, she can come in too?!

Tao Yaping raised her head and looked at the whole room, upstairs and downstairs were quiet. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual other than this shoe. But she was still unsure, so she decided to take a weapon to defend herself first.

She changed into slippers and went into the kitchen, trying to grab a knife in her hand. But when she walked to the stove, she was startled, and she found that the fruit knife inserted in the knife holder was missing!

Did the woman take it? She had already taken the knife before her?

The more Tao Yaping thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to tremble unconsciously. Just use a kitchen knife. No way. The kitchen knife is too big and too heavy. She thought about it for a while, and finally opened the cabinet drawer with trembling hands, and chose a folding knife inside.

She stretched the folding knife open, clenched it tightly in her right hand, and began to inspect every room in the room.

The house was bought by Liu Cong ten years ago: a two-story townhouse. It is not big, and the total area is only 200 square meters. Because it is a pre-marital property, she does not know if she can continue to live in it once she divorces.

The first floor is mainly the living room and dining room, which is relatively open. The doors of the kitchen, bathroom, and guest room were all open, so it was clear whether there were Tibetans at a glance. The basement was so dark that she wanted to save it for the end. So he shifted his gaze to the second floor.

She held the knife and stepped up the stairs step by step, each step slow and cautious. On the second floor, there are four rooms and a bathroom, of which the doors to the master bedroom, children's room and study are also open, only the doors to the cloakroom and bathroom are closed.

Tao Yaping planned to inspect the cloakroom first, and the shuttle door was installed here. She calmed her breath, raised her left hand, and tried a few times, but still didn't have the courage to open the door. So he lifted another leg, leaned back, and gently opened a half-foot-wide crack in the door with his toes.

There is no reaction inside. It should be safe.

She was a little bolder, and reached out to open the whole door with a "bang".

No one.

Tao Yaping walked slowly into the cloakroom, her eyes scanning left and right. I thought to myself, there should be no one hiding in this closet. But what she didn't know was that at this moment, the door of the bathroom behind her was secretly opened!

That's right, in the bathroom—where the intruders were hiding—a pair of cold eyes peeked through the crack in the door.

Tao Yaping was still stunned in the cloakroom, but the intruder was already carrying a knife, lightly, and approached her step by step.

Suddenly, Tao Yaping turned around as if she had some kind of premonition. So the two of them appeared in front of each other without warning, suddenly, and at close range.

It's that woman! Still wearing a mask, and the fruit knife in her hand is indeed the fruit knife that disappeared from the knife holder.

Obviously, Tao Yaping's sudden turn also surprised her. She probably didn't think that her sneak attack would be interrupted for no reason. So I was stunned for about three seconds.

But she quickly regained her senses, raised her knife, and rushed straight at her prey.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is estimated to be only 2 meters. Tao Yaping subconsciously hurriedly held the folding knife with both hands at the same time, and raised a pair of arms and stretched them straight out to her chest as a defensive gesture. The knife in her hand became all she relied on at this time.

"Don't come here!" she cried out, her whole body trembling.

The mysterious woman stopped, stood still, and glanced at the small folding knife, as if hesitating. Not only did she not expect her sneak attack to be interrupted, but she also did not expect that her prey had a defensive weapon in her hand. Perhaps because she remembered that her fruit knife was not much bigger than the folding knife and did not have an overwhelming advantage, she did not plan to blindly attack.

"Who are you?" asked Tao Yaping, plucking up her courage.

The mysterious woman pondered for a moment. Her eyes were neither fierce nor vicious, but cold, the kind of coldness that defied everything. It was as if everything in this world was nothingness to her, dust, and nothing to mention.

"You don't have to know. She replied.

Her voice is also extremely cold, decisive and crisp, without a trace of emotion.

Tao Yaping tried to control her body and not tremble too much, and asked, "That...... How did you get in?"

But she got the exact same answer - "You don't need to know." ”
