7. All night

When the sky was white, Situ Qian and a group of old criminal investigators stayed up all night, and they were sipping coffee to refresh themselves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The group was silent, and no one mentioned the murder found in Bonanshan yesterday. After drinking the coffee, Situ Qian raised his wrist to look at the time, "Uncle Zhou, notify me when you leave." ”

Uncle Zhou turned his head sideways to look at the young man in his early twenties, and waved his hand to tell him to go to sleep quickly.

Situ Qian's heart was mixed, how could he not understand that a few of them stayed up all night last night, but they didn't gain anything. Xu Xiaonan asked him to write an argument, and he checked it all night but didn't find any clues.

According to Xu Xiaonan's briefing, the murderer may have had a short-term filing investigation for injuring people. Therefore, several of them called up the files of the city in the past year, there were no clues in the small cases, and the large cases recorded in the records had only occurred in a certain bar in the city in half a year, and several people counted the number of people who made trouble in the city to more than 50 people......

And the surveillance video of Bo Nanshan is emptied once a month. Judging from the time of death of the two bodies that have been found, they are a month ago and a week ago. In the past month, Bonan Mountain has engaged in the construction of scenic spots, attracting a large number of mountaineering enthusiasts, as well as car owners who come to have a picnic, watch the sunrise, and man-made meteor showers. Situ Qian basically didn't hold out any hope, so he could only focus on the car model, but what he didn't expect was that after a whole month of surveillance video, there were more than 40 cars in and out of this large car series.

The CCTV footage was too short, and there were too many vehicles that could carry the victim's body, so even if they saw through the surveillance video, they could not accurately identify the vehicle carrying the victim.

After this clue was broken, the three arguments that Situ Qian wrote earlier were still two, and he was more inclined to the common ground of the victims than people and disputes. However, before starting the investigation, he wanted to rest well so that he could have the energy to deal with the tedious investigation that was about to come.

Before falling asleep, Situ Qian couldn't help but call Xu Xiaonan, "Professor." ”

Xu Xiaonan over there was frying eggs at the moment, and after turning on the amplification, he quietly waited for him to speak first. At six o'clock in the morning, regarding the fact that Xu Xiaonan, who has always admired sleep time, got up early to fry eggs, Situ Qian only believed that Xu Xiaonan and himself also stayed up all night.

Situ Qianjiu didn't speak, and when Xu Xiaonan fried the two poached eggs and sat down to taste them, he saw that the mobile phone still showed that he was on the call, and he raised his eyebrows and felt amazing. He copied the phone and put it back to his ear, only to hear Situ Qian's even breathing from a deep sleep. Shaking his head helplessly, looking at the name of the person on the phone screen, he couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, the child of the Situ family." ”

Xu Xiaonan put down his mobile phone, elegantly divided the delicious breakfast on the plate with a knife and fork in his hand, he frowned and savored it carefully, and did not copy the mobile phone again until the meal was over. Clean and slender fingers tapped and clicked, and when the screen interface showed that the information was successfully sent, Xu Xiaonan put down the phone again, turned around and put the dishes in the dishwasher, and then went upstairs into the study.

Facing the white paper all over the room and the whiteboard full of black fonts, Xu Xiaonan paused in a rare footstep.

I saw that he was a little disgusted, pinched his phone again, and pressed a string of numbers familiarly.

"I need to go out and see you downstairs in half an hour."

The case of Bo Nanshan was officially established as a homicide case, and the special investigation team carried out an investigation according to the portrait given by Xu Xiaonan, Situ Qian went out with the criminal investigation team, and Feng Yifan's school suddenly had a temporary incident, so he specially asked Xu Xiaonan for a day off and returned to work tomorrow.

Uncle Zhou and Situ Qian walked separately from the large army in a car, and the two of them were silent with each other along the way.

The first to break the deadlock was Situ Qian, who stared intently at the screen of his mobile phone, and opened his mouth with distrust in his tone: "Uncle Zhou, what do you think of Professor Xu's text message?" ”

Earlier, Situ Qian, who woke up from a nap, found that there was an extra unread message on his mobile phone, and when he saw that the sender was Xu Xiaonan, Situ Qian's whole person was sleepy. After clicking on it, the whole person was stunned in place, belonging to the man's broad back, and in the next second, he leaned firmly on the back of the chair, Situ Qianliang felt a chill just by looking at those words. It wasn't until Uncle Zhou came in to find him on a mission that he came back to his senses.

Slightly stunned: "Xu Xiaonan said, 'There was some rain in the city last night, and it was no accident that the murderer added another corpse. ’”

Perhaps Situ Qian's words were too shocking, Uncle Zhou was anxious for a while, but he didn't notice that the young man beside him actually called Xu Xiaonan by his name.

"Let me see." Uncle Zhou had a serious face, snatched his mobile phone directly with his big hand, and looked at the words on it carefully, feeling cold from his heart. Uncle Zhou looked back at him: "Situ, the two of us will go now." ”

didn't have time to think about it, Situ Qian had already grabbed his coat and followed behind Uncle Zhou.

At this time, hearing his question, Uncle Zhou answered him in a serious tone while driving the car seriously: "Situ, there are two sets of methods in front of you now, either follow the procedure, lock up the suspect, and bring everyone to the police station to record a confession; Either we'll take a risk and take a shortcut, preferably before the killer leaves. ”

Situ Qian rubbed the hard shell on his mobile phone, "Uncle Zhou, why can you conclude that Professor Xu must be right?" ”

He sighed, "Situ, you are still tender in this industry, don't look at Xu Xiaoyan, he looks unpopular, arrogant and withdrawn, and sometimes he speaks mercilessly." But you just need to know that his ability to solve cases should not be underestimated. ”

Situ Qian asked rhetorically: "The ability to solve the case?" Uncle Zhou, are you referring to the case he solved five years ago? ”

When the words fell, Uncle Zhou held the steering wheel for a moment, turned his head sideways and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Uncle Zhou's tone was anxious and rushed, and he still had to take care of driving in his hands, so naturally he didn't see the expectation of a flash in Situ Qian's eyes.

"Uncle Zhou ...... five years ago"

"From now on, don't mention this in front of me, otherwise you won't blame me for turning his face." Uncle Zhou's tone was not very good, even though Situ Qian was already mentally prepared, he was silent for a long time and did not speak.

It wasn't until the two of them arrived at their destination that Situ Qian spoke again: "Uncle Zhou, it's an honor for me to follow Professor Xu to handle the case." ”

At eight o'clock in the morning, there were still a few traces of mist floating in Bonan Mountain. Uncle Zhou parked the car at the foot of the mountain, unfastened the seat belt with a big hand, and said to Situ Qian on the side: "Let's go, Situ, let you see Xu Xiaonan's ability." ”

Both of them were people who came to the scene yesterday, and at this time, they were familiar with the road up the mountain, Uncle Zhou's pace was steady and urgent, and Situ Qian silently followed and stopped talking.

In fact, as early as after reading Xu Xiaonan's text message, Situ Qian had his own calculation in his heart. He did not think that the killer would so blatantly challenge the authority of the police by dumping the body of the third victim at the scene they found yesterday. There are eight roads to the top of Bonan Mountain, and Situ Qian knows that the one he walks under his feet is not a shortcut, but compared to others, this one is the most hidden.

According to the criminal portrait given by Xu Xiaonan yesterday, I learned that the murderer was careful and rigorous, sober-minded, and carefully planned. He will not choose his unfamiliar environment, nor will he choose a place away from people, plus there was only local rain in the city last night, so the new address chosen by the murderer will still be Bo Nanshan, but it is definitely not the original location.

Situ Qian thought back to the comparison between his survey of the road on the way yesterday and the discovery before going up the mountain this time, and suddenly had a new idea.

He didn't want to turn around and go down the mountain.

It wasn't until I stood at the foot of Mt. Bonan again and looked at the eight trails up the mountain that I realized that I was right.

Situ Qian walked up the weeds and water stains on the side of the road, and unexpectedly saw several pairs of footprints printed on the mud floor, although it was a little messy but clear and distinct, Situ Qian thought, this is a rare discovery. He excitedly took out his mobile phone to record these footprints, and seemed to hear Xu Xiaonan's voice in a trance.
