"You don't need to know. "The same answer, the same ruthless determination. The intruders are clearly reluctant to do any effective communication.

Tao Yaping stopped talking, but confronted him. After a few seconds, her panicked mood gradually calmed down and she began to actively think of countermeasures.

We can't keep this stalemate, we must find an opportunity to escape. She took a few steps back in the direction of the stairs, trying to go down to the first floor before escaping.

But every time she took a step back, the mysterious woman took a step forward, never falling behind, always pressing. The intruder was not wearing slippers and was stepping on the floor with his socks on, without making a sound.

The sharp points of the knives in this quiet atmosphere made both sides very calm and cautious, and neither dared to act rashly.

Tao Yaping kept retreating, and she was still a few steps away from retreating to the first floor. Although they didn't speak to each other during the period, she could still feel the other party's powerful aura brought about by an almost suffocating sense of oppression.

"Why did you kill me?" she asked, daringly. The mysterious woman calmly descended a step, and this time did not answer

"You don't have to know", but said, "You die before I live." The voice is still crisp and clean, without any emotion.

What is called

"I can only live if you die?" Tao Yaping never thought that she would get such an unbelievable answer. She couldn't understand the logic at all.

I have been being kind to others all my life, and I have never had a grudge with anyone, how can someone want to fight to the death with me?

"What does that mean?" said the other man. This person replied with words like gold, and it is estimated that he will not say anything more.

It's important to save your life first. Tao Yaping walked down the last step, her left foot had already stepped on the floor of the first floor, and she felt that her heart had fallen halfway to the ground at this time.

But I don't know if it was because she was too excited or for some other reason, when she turned around and wanted to run in the direction of the gate, she accidentally slipped on the sole of her foot and fell.

The whole person was lying on his side on the ground. The mysterious woman seized this perfect opportunity and rushed forward in three steps and two steps.

Perhaps taking into account the folding knife in Tao Yaping's hand, he didn't rush in front of her, but stopped at her feet.

Then he raised his hand and without hesitation, he plunged the fruit knife into the opponent's thigh!

This may be what the murderer is thinking at the moment. Tao Yaping

"Ahh But in an instant of life and death, I can't care so much.

She forced herself to roll over, lifted her right leg, and kicked it with all her might. The mysterious woman is squatting, and her center of gravity is not very stable.

After receiving this sudden kick, he was kicked over directly and lay down on the stairs. It was evident that she was in pain, because her whole back had hit one step at a time, and it was far more painful than hitting the flat ground.

She struggled hard to get back up again. The potential that people can unleash in times of crisis is truly endless.

Tao Yaping took advantage of this small gap and immediately quickly got up, dragging her injured left leg and limping to the door.

At the same time, he shouted

"Help". At the moment when her hands touched the doorknob, her left arm was suddenly grabbed from behind and pulled back desperately - the woman stood up, and caught up with her, grabbing her.

In a panic, Tao Yaping could only turn around, subconsciously raised the folding knife in her right hand, and waved it at the murderer.

Once, twice, she felt as if she had scratched something and stopped. Sure enough, the woman let go of her arm and took a step back, immediately covering her left arm with her right hand - blood was pouring out of it.

Tao Yaping quickly opened the door and shouted for help in a hoarse voice. At this time, there happened to be a male passer-by outside the door, and he was startled when he heard the scream, and he couldn't help but look this way.

Tao Yaping stretched out her hand desperately to him as if she had seen a savior. The mysterious assailant also saw the man outside the house.

It's already late. He was wounded, and he had no weapon in his hand, so he could only watch his prey run out of the door.

After hesitating for two seconds, she reluctantly turned around, forced to choose to abandon the assassination, and quickly fled through the back door.

The next thing is some step-by-step procedures. Call the police, report the property, and seek medical treatment. Of course, it is also very important to inform Haohao's homeroom teacher that he has to entrust someone else to pick up the child from school today.

Tao Yaping was lucky that the injury was not serious. The bones, tendons, and femoral arteries were not injured, but only the flesh was punctured.

I had six stitches, bandaged the wound, and the doctor told me to go home every day and take anti-inflammatory drugs on time. Officer Tan brought someone from the Trace Examination Unit to his home for sampling.

They took away the fingerprints, bloodstains, and two knives they had collected, indicating that the results would be available tomorrow. After briefly completing the interrogation record, the victim was asked to rest well at night and wait for the results of the test to be obtained before discussing the case in detail.

But Tao Yaping couldn't sleep at all. In just a few days, her life was turned upside down by an inexplicable person.

Someone would want to kill her? And she didn't even know who that person was or why she did it! She was in a trance, was everything she had experienced these days really happening?

Now the only thing she is glad about is that this Wednesday, Haohao has an art class, which is later than usual. Otherwise, the child is at home at that point in time.

What would happen if her son was injured? finally survived until the next day, Tao Yaping came to the Public Security Bureau, but found that everyone's faces were very solemn.

Officer Tan opened his mouth and asked her: "Ms. Tao, in the previous theft case of the research institute, witnesses said that the suspect was extremely similar to you. Since you saw her with your own eyes yesterday, do you feel the same way?" Tao Yaping was stunned for a moment and began to slowly recall.

"She was wearing a mask, she couldn't see her face, and her hair didn't grow. I was too nervous and scared to pay much attention to my eyebrows, eyes, demeanor or something. As for the ...... that he wears, It's the ginger coat that was stolen from my house the other day. Now it's certain that she stole it. So in terms of figure, it should really be much different from me. Oh, and the shoes, which she stole and wore back, should be my size feet. Age...... It's not like it's very young anyway. ”

"Where's the voice? How does she speak? Does she have an accent?"

"The voice ......" Tao Yaping shook her head: "I didn't say a word in total." She cherishes words like gold, and she doesn't speak much at all. So I wasn't particularly impressed by the sound. ”

"She didn't say who she was, why did she steal, why did she kill people?" Tao Yaping shook her head again: "She won't say anything." Officer Tan frowned, his expression was serious, and he said while thinking seriously: "I have a bold hypothesis: she went to the research institute to steal dangerous reagents just to kill you! That's the method she chose in the first place - poisoning, saving time and effort. Unfortunately, her plan failed and the theft failed. So you can only be forced to implement the second plan, which is to hide in your home and assassinate violently. Obviously, this way is much more strenuous and difficult. So, she failed again. According to this inference, "a not-so-good expression appeared on his face,

"The suspect's plan never worked out, so it's likely that she'll come back a third time. This conclusion really scared Tao Yaping, she really couldn't think of having such a big grudge with anyone, and she must kill herself.

"To be honest, we've checked your social connections, and it's really very simple. Except for colleagues in the unit, there are only a few people I know in total. No one had a motive to commit the crime. So if you want to determine the identity of the suspect, you may have to rely on yourself to recall more. ”

"By my side...... I really can't find anyone like that. Tao Yaping was very frustrated. Then he remembered that he had come to see the results, so he asked with concern: "Did yesterday's inspection report come out, and did you have any new clues?" Officer Tan took a folder, opened it, looked at the pages inside, and replied with a little frustration: "I'm sorry, there are not too many valid clues for the time being." ”

"No?" Tao Yaping was surprised.

"Yesterday she came into my house, footprints, fingerprints, bloodstains, aren't they all clues? There is also the door lock, I just changed the iris lock. She...... How could she still come in?"

"Ms. Tao, you listen to me explain to you little by little. Officer Tan hurriedly raised his hand to reassure her.

"Let's start with footprints. As you just said, she wears your shoes. Therefore, the collected footprints have no reference at all. Then there are fingerprints. Your fingerprints have already been copied by her, so it's no surprise that the handle of the fruit knife she's holding is full of your own fingerprints. As for the lock of your home, we have checked it by the trace inspection department, and there is no trace of violent or technical unlocking. The windows in each room are also intact. So she matched the correct iris information and unlocked the house normally. This is the only possibility. ”

"But ......"

"I know which point you want to refute. Officer Tan looked at her sympathetically: "We actually have the same doubts. After all, it is much more difficult to copy the biometric information of a person's eyeball than it is to copy a fingerprint or something. The technical requirements are too high, and ordinary people are simply not qualified to do such things. But no matter how difficult it is, it's technically achievable, not fanciful. So...... We can only reason this way for the time being. Tao Yaping lowered her head, her heart was in a mess.

"Ms. Tao, now I have a more important question, and I would like to ask you to answer it. Is there only one wound on your leg?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Then you recall the memories carefully, are you sure you scratched the suspect?" Tao Yaping thought about it seriously, and then nodded slightly: "Sure." I scratched her left arm, and I could see blood. And she herself immediately covered her arm. If she hadn't been hurt, she wouldn't have had to react. Is ......there any problem? It's just self-defense. ”

"Just in self-defense, of course. But ......" Officer Tan handed her the folder in his hand, "The samples we collected are somewhat contradictory to the testimony you have stated. The DNA test report came out: blood stains on the floor all over the room and blood stains on the folding knife you were holding," he glanced at the victim helplessly,

—it's all yours. ”

"Mine?!" Tao Yaping took the folder in disbelief and quickly browsed it.

"This ...... What does that mean?"

"Two meanings. "Officer Tan compared one

The gesture of "Two": "Either your knife accidentally got the blood on your leg: or, it's a fantastical explanation - you even copied your DNA by her!"
