Stone Boy.

Jian Yao and the others only got this one nickname. No matter how much he asked, Xu Huqiang couldn't remember or know anything more about that "stone boy". What is his real name and where he lives, I vaguely remember that Shizi is quite tall, and he can't remember his face clearly.

Twenty years have passed, and the people who died back then are scattered. Shizi is just a little brother who has been messing around for a few days, and naturally no one in the streets and alleys knows about this period of the past.

The trail seems to be broken.

But everyone knows that they are very close to the truth.

Bo's second target in Tong was a family that had lost their son for more than a decade.

In all fairness, the family's economic conditions are not bad. They lived in a small community in the center of the city, and when the door opened, Jian Yao and the others saw two old and haggard faces. They had already gotten word that their son's body had been found. But I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Their son, the first teenager killed by the Butterfly Killer.

They had waited until they were numb, but when they knew that their son had been brutally murdered more than ten years ago, all these years of waiting were actually meaningless, and they still couldn't help but burst into tears.

"What kind of kid is Li Zhijin?" Jian Yao asked softly. Any victim in front of her can always be comforted and let go of her heart to prevent her from speaking.

"Edazhim...... What a good boy! The mother cried, "I am sensible, obedient, and I know how to be filial to my parents......"

Any child is pure and immaculate in the eyes of his parents.

Not to mention the lost children.

At the same time, Fang Qing and Bo Jinyan were looking in the child's room back then, looking for the reasons and characteristics of him becoming the first victim, and what triggered the killer to start committing the crime.

The furniture and furnishings are all from the last century, and everything has remained unchanged since the disappearance of the child. Fang Qing opened the old wardrobe and saw the clothes that belonged to the teenager inside. In addition to the school uniform, the jersey, he unexpectedly saw some ...... How to put it, very street-style sleeveless shirts, T-shirts.

The walls are full of movie posters, all of which are old and yellow. There was a simulated toy gun in the drawer, Fang Qing took one out and shot him in the thigh. , although it is a plastic bullet, it hurts, and there is a red pit.

In the end, Fang Qing actually found a rusty machete at the bottom of the storage box under the bed. It seems that Li Zhijin's parents can't be unaware of the existence of this knife. But they are all kept as relics of children. It can be seen that the depth of pampering and the depth of mourning.

——

At the end of the trip to Tong City, the special case team returned to the case command headquarters located in the Xun City Police Station next door.

Bo Jinyan talked with An Yan alone for a while.

"Have you sorted out all the photos of the scene back then?" Bo Jinyan asked.

An Yan: "Of course. ”

"Have you made a 3D simulation of the site?"

"Yes. At that time, the police took very detailed photos of every angle, and I have restored the whole view to the computer. What are you looking for? ”

Bo Jin Yan was silent for a while and said, "Look at my father-in-law, look at it from all angles. Lying in a pool of blood, does he look like a butterfly? ”

An Yan was taken aback. When he looked up, he saw the broken limbs of the man, twisted and bent. And blood is like a pattern, behind a person's back, spreading, spreading.

……

Bo Jinyan stood in front of the window, the breeze in the twilight blowing his face.

In his mind, he remembered that a long, long time ago, there was another person who investigated Jian Yi's case for him. There are even some pictures that the man found last time. The man was always kind-hearted and said with a smile, "Why do you think I'm meddling to rent a house for her?" I also feel a little sorry for her. ”

"Jin Yan, did you say that Jian Yao's mother took a fancy to me and wanted me to be her son-in-law. She always smiled at me. ”

"Oh, yes, it's illogical to have you here."

……

Encounters, going round and round, fate has brought us back to where we started.

——

Jian Yao sat alone in an office, and after a while, she heard the sound of a cane touching the ground, she raised her head and saw Bo Jinyan pushing the door and walking in.

"Jian Yao."

"I'm here."

He walked over to her and sat down, "I've got a conclusion. ”

Jian Yao's heart tightened: "You say." ”

"The butterfly killer is the stone boy, and the stone boy will become a butterfly killer when he grows up."

Although she already had this guess in her heart, hearing Bo Jinyan be so sure, Jian Yao still had an indescribable feeling in her heart: "Really? Why did he ...... Want to do that? ”

"He's here to pay it back." Bo Jinyan said, "Pay back for the sins you have committed." He must have been to the scene of the murder that year, and he also used a knife. This incident caused him great mental stimulation, and it became his nightmare from then on.

Your father, the way he lies in a pool of blood, in his heart, is imagined to be a butterfly. Butterflies kill, and that's how it began.

A very strong evidence is that the first few people he killed were all hacked to death with knives, and then painted as butterflies. That's exactly what he mentally reflects.

The first teenager he killed was almost a copy of him. He hated himself like that, so he killed Li Zhijin, for him, it was like killing himself once.

But the more people he killed, the more guilt, pain, and joy he had, and the deeper he sank. So next to the bodies of the first few victims, there will be incense burners as a memorial and guilt. Later, he found a balance, and he began to kill criminals. In this way, you can not only meet your own psychological needs, but also do not cause psychological burden. He also began to enjoy killing, from imitation and slashing at the beginning, to a more cruel and refined way of killing.

I think he chose to rent that mountainous area as one of the murderers of your father, which also means atoning for his sins. In the name of your father, atone for your sins and slay the most wicked men.

He's unlike any serial killer we've ever seen. I don't think he's been really happy in the past 20 years. He carried the mistakes he made when he was young with his whole life. And now, he finally can't bear it anymore and wants to make a break. ”

Jian Yao raised her head and looked out the window, it was already dark. Layers of black clouds, circling the moon. The halo beside the moon was faintly shining. The treetops are also quiet, and the buildings below are as silent as fields. There is something in the dark night, as if it is piercing the human heart, reaching the deepest part of the soul. She tried to bring water to drink, but found that her fingers were cold. She lowered her head and asked softly, "So...... The J who stayed at the scene of the crime, is that what Jenny meant? ”

Bo Jinyan was silent for a moment, reached out and touched the top of her head, and replied, "It's possible." ”

"He's been staring at me?"

"The only thing he can do is say hi to you." Bo Jinyan said.

Jian Yao looked at him, and her heart fluctuated in an instant. After a while, she also laughed and said word by word: "That's right, he can only say hello to me." If he dares to come, I will beat him so that he cannot find the north. She held Bo Jinyan's hand, and Bo Jinyan also smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Jin Yan." Jian Yao buried her face in his arms.

"Oh, thank you." Bo Jinyan replied, "I protect my baby, do I still need to thank him?" ”

Jian Yao smiled again: "What should I do next?" ”

"We've explored his past, we know his present, and we're going to ...... next."

"Predict his future behavior." Two voices rang out at the same time.

Jian Yao looked up at him, his fingers caressed the edge of her face, both of them were silent for a moment, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Oh, this feeling, you know what I feel in my heart, it's really good." ”

Jian Yao held his thin fingers and remained silent, not speaking.

Bo Jinyan continued to say slowly: "The people he has killed in recent years are all wanted criminals, which is already his hunting fun. Ordinary people can't satisfy him. Then the next one, will be. Since he openly provoked the police, he will soon commit another crime. And what we have to do is find the most murderous fugitive wanted person in recent times, based on his preferences – to find prey faster than him. Then, wait for the rabbit. ”

Jian Yao's heart was shocked, it was really ...... There are many doubts and the past, which seems to be quite complicated. But Bo Jin Yan broke through the key with one word, instead of chasing after the butterfly killer, it was better to rush ahead of him, predict his path, and then capture him!

I like to take shortcuts when investigating cases, you have to get used to it and keep up.

She just looked up at him.

"Will he be on guard?"

"He knew exactly what we were going to do."

"Huh?"

Bo Jinyan said lightly: "Isn't this exactly what he wants?" Compete with us to see who catches the wanted criminal first. A criminal whose inner shackles have sunk to the point that he can no longer move forward, this is his desperate fight, his moth to the fire. I fulfilled him. ”

Jian Yao's heart was shocked.

"So...... Is it tricky? ”

Bo Jinyan smiled: "Tricky? IMHO, China has finally had a decent serial killer in recent years. ”

Jian Yao was silent for a moment and smiled.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and there was a faint sound of talking. Bo Jin Yan smiled, and Jian Yao also let go of his hand and went to open the door.

The lights in the corridor were bright, Fang Qing probed in, looked at it, and smiled: "Jian Yao, look who is coming to visit our class." ”

Jian Yao looked behind him with a smile and was stunned.

Luo Lang stood in the corridor, dressed in a black suit, well-made and clean, with a white shirt. He still had a cigarette in his hand and something in the other, and he looked up at her and smiled.

Obviously, she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, but Jian Yao suddenly felt like a world away from home. The surrounding space seems to freeze at this moment. And when she stared at him, he stared. Only then did she realize that this man's eyes were as deep and black as a bottomless abyss.

Luo Lang's gaze had moved behind her: "Mr. Bo." ”

Bo Jinyan's light voice sounded above her head: "Mr. Luo." ”

Thinking about it, this was the first time they had met head-on. Jian Yao hesitated slightly, but Fang Qing was already happy: "Hey, I said, you two can make the atmosphere so lively by saying hello, it's okay." ”

Jian Yao and Luo Lang both laughed suddenly.

Bo Jinyan didn't laugh. He felt that Fang Qing's words were not wrong, he and Luo Lang were already separated.

Luo Lang's gaze returned to Jian Yao, under his gentle gaze, somewhere deep in Jian Yao's heart, he suddenly moved slightly, and still asked with a smile: "Brother Luo, why did you come suddenly?" ”

Luo Lang replied: "I just took a case from this province, and I know that you are here, so I stopped by to take a look." ”

Jian Yao nodded. He has always been like this, and he will always bother with cases related to his hometown, and he will be more enthusiastic when he takes them.

After all, he is also a native of Tongshi.

There was a sudden silence in the hallway.

Fang Qing glanced at the silent ones, climbed Luo Lang's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, we haven't eaten yet, let's go together." Then he went to rummage through the bag in Luo Lang's hand: "You brought something good, and you opened meat for us, right?" ”

Luo Lang smiled and threw the bag in his hand to him, and took another puff of cigarette. At this time, Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao had already walked out of the house, she didn't look at him, Bo Jinyan's hand was on Jian Yao's shoulder. "Come with us." Jian Yao whispered. Bo Jinyan let out a soft "um".

Luo Lang took another deep breath of cigarette, raised his eyes and looked out the window, it was already dark, and the city lights were all lit up, like eyes, looking at him. At this time, Fang Qing patted him on the shoulder again: "What do you think?" Let's go! ”

Luo Lang smiled and followed. (To be continued.) )
