Before Mr. Zhang was hypnotized, the Xiao team had already prevented people from starting to re-examine the case, and when examining the photos of the body, Xiao team found that a tattoo on the victim's ankle was very familiar, and he asked the technical department to enlarge the tattoo, which was a semi-circle tattoo.

"The earliest dragon totem." Teacher Lu looked at the enlarged picture and recognized it for a long time and said.

"The earliest dragon totem? Just make a circle? "I looked at the picture in my hand.

Li Jing put down the photo and explained to Mr. Lu, "Hmm." The image of the dragon we see today has been changed dozens of times to form what it is today, but in the beginning, the image of the dragon was not so ornate, and most of the literature records the appearance of a semicircle that looks like a horn. But I'm more curious about why this girl has such a pattern. ”

"Huh?" Isn't this pattern normal?

Looking at my doubts, this time it was the explanation made by Team Xiao: "In the cases I contacted, the tattoos of girls are generally related to people's names, and the patterns will be delicate." But this is the first time I've seen a rough pattern like this girl's ankle. Lao Lu also said just now, the particularity of this pattern, there should be few people who know what this pattern represents, right? After speaking, Team Xiao looked at Mr. Lu again to confirm the answer.

"Unless you're interested in history, few people know at a glance that this is the oldest dragon totem." Teacher Lu flipped through the information in his hand, "Xiao Xiao, this girl is not a minority child, right?" ”

"It's not." Team Xiao confirmed.

"What clues did you have about the tattoo two years ago?" Li Jing then asked.

Team Xiao shook his head: "No useful clues were provided back then. I asked several tattoo artists in the neighborhood at that time, and they all said that no one had asked them to tattoo such a pattern. She also consulted her parents, but her parents were surprised that the victim had tattoos, and in their eyes, the girl was not the kind of child who would get tattoos. Because the victim had the ball carved into her ankle and was always wearing long pants and socks, her parents never knew about the tattoo on the girl's ankle. Not to mention knowing the meaning of this pattern. Shi Hao looked at the archive of investigation records from two years ago.

"Shi Hao, have you checked the victim's medical insurance records and consumption records?"

"Checked." Shi Hao's eyes widened and he made a helpless expression, "But there is no particularly noteworthy information." She has been working for 3 years, she does not have a credit card, and the bank card she hangs up when she consumes online is a salary card, and the online transaction records are some common items such as clothes, jewelry, daily necessities and food. Every month, she will withdraw 5,000 cash from this card as daily expenses and deposits, and her savings are not much, only 50,000 yuan in 3 years. The usual expenses are very large, and they are basically used in supermarkets, shops, and restaurants. She goes back to a new restaurant every week, spends two lattes a week at a coffee shop, goes to the cinema once a month, and occasionally goes to an exhibition on weekends. There is no record of spending in nightclubs. Overall, she is a woman who is very good at life. Shi Hao read the results of his investigation to us.

There was really nothing suspicious, but I always vaguely felt that something was wrong: "That's right, Shi Hao." Does she have men's items in her spending history? "If I'm not mistaken, at least she had a boyfriend half a year ago.

Shi Hao looked at the record again: "No." He slid the reel several times.

"Haven't you been in 3 years?" I don't give up.

"I can't read the consumption records of the supermarket, but the consumption records in the mall are indeed only women's clothes and packing." Shi Hao replied to me after confirming again.

"That would be weird. Li Jing, I remember you told me that the victim used to have a boyfriend. I looked at Li Jing.

"Hmm." Li Jing nodded, "But he later called the police because of her boyfriend's violence against her, and the two broke up in the end." ”

"But there must have been a honeymoon before they argued, right? It is impossible that both men and women did not give gifts during that time. Brother Shi Hao, is the victim alone every time he goes to the movies or participates in exhibitions? I turned my gaze to Shi Hao, and there were many questions in my mind that needed to be answered.

"When it comes to movies, she only buys one ticket per trip." Shi Hao also called up the victim's consumption records in several different movie theaters, two of which were close to the company where she worked, and one was near where she lived.

"Can you check if any of the other visitors had direct contact with the victim on the same day she went to the museum?" Some things became clear in my mind as they opened.

"This is a relatively large project, and after a while, I have to call out all the visitors who used their ID cards to get tickets that day and compare their identities with her." Shi Hao tapped on the keyboard.

Fifteen minutes later, Shi Haoluo made a list of 6 people who could be related to the victim, including 3 college classmates, 1 ex-boyfriend, and 2 to our surprise Mr. Zhang and his classmate who lived on the 6th floor of the incident.

Sure enough, as I thought, it seems that the victim was deliberately covering up some information before his death. But I don't understand why he did it.

"What kind of exhibition are they looking at?" Seeing the connection, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes.

"History exhibitions are the majority, and two weeks before her accident, she went to see the 'Ancient Totem Exhibition' with the brother who lived upstairs and Mr. Zhang." Shi Hao excitedly pointed to one of the messages.

"Don't be too happy just yet." Seeing that Shi Hao and I were as excited as if they had found key evidence, Team Xiao poured cold water on the two of us at the right time, "These materials can only prove the connection between these people, but they cannot be used as evidence that they are involved in the case." Let's not startle the snake first, the bureau's Wen Jiàn estimates that he will be able to come down at noon tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I will try to arrange for Mr. Zhang to do hypnosis at our place first. If the hypnosis is successful, we may be able to know more clues about the case, but if the hypnosis fails, we should prepare ourselves with enough back roads. ”

"Understood. Xiaozhi and I will follow the clues of the tattoo for days. Li Jing nodded and replied, "The relationship between the remaining six people and the victim is up to Shi Hao." Perhaps what we tried to find out was the key to helping Mr. Zhang recover his memory. ”

Team Xiao may have felt that his tone just now was a little strict, and he slowed down before speaking: "Then it's hard for you guys." I will send someone to visit the neighbors of these 6 people to get more clues. ”

"With so many tattoo parlors, taking a picture like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Li Jing and I came to a street with a lot of tattoo parlors, and even such a dense street with tattoo shops is only the tip of the iceberg in the city where this business is practiced, so you can imagine how much work we do.

Li Jing knew that I was tired all day and had no motivation at all, so he had to coax me and say: "Since the tattoo parlors around the victim have been photographed, we will first lock the conditions into the remaining 4 tattoo parlors near the relatives who live in different places with the victim." This is at least more likely than asking a random one. I ask Luxi's, you ask Ludong, and at the end of the confluence. ”

Forget it, I'll have to do the job anyway, and now I have some help and I can save some effort, and after taking a deep breath, I turned around and walked into the nearest tattoo parlor near me.

I was greeted by a very handsome uncle, and I politely explained my intentions first, but he replied to me with a smile: "I thought such a cute little girl was looking for me to tattoo a mouthless cat." As he spoke, he took the photo in my hand and looked at it carefully, shaking his head, "I have never seen a guest give me such a pattern, and the craftsmanship of my tattoo artist here is not so rough." ”

I nodded and thanked my uncle, and was about to leave, when my uncle stopped me: "Little girl, I advise you not to ask about the shops on this street, such rough craftsmanship will not come from this street." ”

"Uncle is really confident." I didn't look back.

Hearing me say this, he smiled helplessly at the door of the store, turned around and pushed the door back to the store.

In fact, I still agree with my uncle's words in my heart, not because the style is simple, but it is true that the carving is careless, the proportion of the pattern, and the smoothness of the half-circle arc are all obvious problems. I compared the original pictures on the Internet, and the victim's tattoo restoration degree was only 50%, that is, the shape is just similar. So as expected, when Li Jing and I met at the end, we both had a nose to ashes. The rest of the streets, we got the same answer.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when I came out of the last place, and after running for so long, in addition to my legs and stomach, my stomach was also rumbling with hunger, because it was not summer, so there were almost no restaurants that opened so late. In the end, the two of us finally ate a cup of noodles at the 24-hour convenience store. The cashier's sister brought us two small stools.

"Could it be that the victim tattooed it himself?" I took two more rice balls and heated them in the microwave.

"Probably not. However, the police have checked the house where the girl was involved and have not found the tools or paints needed for the tattoo in the scene records. Li Jing took chocolate milk from the hot drink cabinet and gave it to me.

"Thank you. However, everyone reported that the tattoos on the victim's body were very poor. Is the next step for us to visit our most popular tattoo parlor here, and then it will be easier to find? "I imagined it wildly.

"Do you think anyone would admit that they are the worst at their craft?" Li Jingjing didn't bother to roll his eyes at me.

"So what do you say? All the roads are blocked by you. "I ran all night without results. I can't help but be a little anxious.

"What did you say?" Li Jing suddenly turned around and asked me.

"Nothing." I thought he was going to say I was discouraged too soon.

"No, what did you just say?" Li Jing turned me to him.

I looked at Li Jing looking at me with expectant eyes, and I wanted to ask him if he was tired and hallucinating, but I still repeated what he had just said to him as he asked: "I said, you blocked all the roads." ”
