Li Jing let go of me and began to sit on the small stool and talk to himself, I couldn't hear what he said, I took the soaked cup noodles and rice balls to him, and when I adjusted it, my eyes suddenly looked in the direction where I was standing for a long time and didn't take it away.

I thought he was looking, but I followed his gaze and realized that he was actually looking at the door of a convenience store.

"How many surveillance cameras do you have in your store?" Li Jing had enough of the door before turning to the position of the cash register and asked the cashier on duty who was sitting there looking at his mobile phone.

The cashier reacted for a while before tapping his finger in the air a few times: "It should be 3, our convenience store is relatively small, and only 3 cameras are installed in the opposite two corners and behind me." The two on the opposite side are to monitor the situation in the store, and the one behind me is installed in the store to prevent the cashier from embezzling the money. ”

"How long do you keep surveillance?" Li Jing put down the cup noodles in his hand.

"After about a month, the new surveillance footage will automatically erase the previous footage and leave a new image. But sir, what are you asking about these? "Maybe it's the first time that the cashier sister has met a customer who asked about the monitoring in the store, I see her vigilant look, maybe I mistakenly think that we are going to eat the overlord meal and make a mess of the store, right?

"Nothing, just curiosity." Li Jing lowered his head and continued to eat noodles, and after a while, he looked up again and asked, "What if you have something to do and leave the store temporarily?" ”

Hey, don't ask these weird questions anymore! Didn't you see that the cashier sister was about to be asked by you to cry? He's already taking you for a bad guy!

Maybe Li Jing also noticed that something was wrong with the cashier, and quickly stood up and explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious to ask." We have cases where the suspect also works at a convenience store, and there is a point that I haven't figured out yet, ahem. Maybe he was too anxious to explain, Li Jing choked a little, and when he took out the handkerchief he was carrying and was about to wipe it, the photo of the victim's tattoo also fell out.

The cashier's sister glanced at the photo I picked up, and suddenly asked us in surprise, "Do you want to tattoo this pattern too?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, does she know this pattern? I looked at Li Jing, and he was also surprised.

"Do you recognize this pattern?" I asked the cashier.

"It turned out that the boy I was working with also had this pattern on his arm. He said that this is the ancient dragon, the original totem of the dragon, and tattooing this can bring good luck to himself. The cashier looked at the photo in my hand a few more times and nodded his head in confirmation.

"Does that lad still go to work with you?" I asked her.

"I didn't come early, and I suddenly resigned a year ago, saying that I had made a fortune. I think he's just paranoid, just whimsical. Sister Cashier sneered after speaking.

"A year ago?" Li Jing thought for a while and then asked, "Has he always been working here?" ”

"Well, I didn't know before, but he worked here before I came here to work."

"When did you come?" Li Jing asked.

"About a year and a half, right?" The cashier's sister pinched her chin and recalled.

"Thank you."

Li Jing hurriedly pulled me away after two or three finished the rice balls, and when I went out, I heard the cashier's sister say in a very small voice: "Strange person." ”

"Did you think of something?" On the way back to the police station, I asked Li Jing.

"I'll have to prove it first." Li Jing's eyes flashed with excitement as he spoke.

"Are you still suspicious of the victim's ex-boyfriend?" Looking at his reaction at the convenience store, I guessed a ** score.

"I doubt anyone." Li Jing took my hand and put it in his coat pocket, "I don't wear gloves." ”

I grimaced: "Got it, next time I'll buy one that can be worn around my neck and never be taken off." ”

"It's going to be a joke."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Li."

In the office, Shi Hao was still working overtime: "I checked according to Team Xiao's instructions." There is no correlation between the consumption records of these six people, but you remember that there is a sentence in the Gospel of Matthew, 'Whoever seeks, he will find,' so I still found a few traces of them that have not been erased. Shi Hao ostentatiously put a stack of materials in each of Li Jing's hands.

As we flipped through the information and listened, Brother Shi Hao continued to chatter: "There are things you need here." Although looking at their spending records found no overlap. But the registration of several people revealed their information. At the same time period, a group of people went to different places in different ways. ”

"It's not strange, it can be explained as a coincidence." There was nothing strange about Li Jing's tone.

Shi Hao looked at Li Jing with a smile: "It can indeed be explained in this way, but if there are too many coincidences, it has to be suspicious." ”

"yes." Li Jing looked at the information and echoed, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Several people took out 10,000 yuan in cash on the cabinet machine before going out, and then spent nothing for a few days after they arrived in different cities, which is indeed quite abnormal. ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons, you see the last focus of the extension line of the city where a few of them go." Shi Hao showed us the map he had just drawn, and the intersection of the seven reticles in the map pointed directly to Z City.

"What are they doing here?"

"It has something to do with their tattoos." Li Jing stared at the information and spoke.

"Tattoos?" In my impression, Z City is a very developed industrial city.

Li Jing continued to flip through the materials in his hand, but he was still explaining to me: "It's understandable that you don't know." A county in Z City used to be the place where the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou, although we now call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, but Yandi and Huangdi are two different clans, when Emperor Yan entered the middle reaches of the Yellow River from the Wei River Basin, he had a conflict with the Jiuli tribe and asked for help from the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor went to war with Chiyou, which is what we now know as the Battle of Zhuolu. Legend has it that in this battle, Chi You invited Feng Boxing to make the wind and rain, and used the fog to disorient the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor; The Yellow Emperor asked the Drought Goddess to clear the weather, and built a 'guide car' to help the soldiers identify the direction, and finally Chi You was defeated, and the Yellow Emperor cut off his head. But according to legend, Chiyou who was beheaded did not die and was still fighting, which is why later generations revered Chiyou as the god of war. The place where they fought was in a county in Z City, where there were many relics of the Jiuli tribe. ”

Shi Hao pointed to the information in my hand: "Turning to the last page, the news of Z City during that period, there was a particularly big news because of the theft of the mausoleum, in addition to the stolen treasures in the mausoleum, they also found a corpse, it is speculated that it should be an accomplice of this group of tomb robbers, only because of the collapse of the mausoleum, they did not escape from the tomb." Do you know who it is? ”

"You didn't write it in the information." I saw the last page.

"The complete information is not finished, and the tomb robber who died in the tomb is Mr. Zhang's classmate who lived on the sixth floor of the scene of the incident." Shi Hao looked at the two of us.

I was a little shocked: "Brother Shi Hao, what you mean is that before the victim died, Mr. Zhang's friend had already died in a tomb robbery accident, so there was no reason for him to visit his friend again." It should not be a coincidence that he appeared not far from the scene of the crime on the day of the victim's death. ”

"That's right." Shi Hao snapped his fingers, "And I found out some other things, you should also be interested." ”

Hearing Shi Hao say this, Li Jing finally turned his gaze away from the information in his hand: "What's the matter?" ”

"More people with dragon tattoos." Shi Hao successfully caught our full attention.

"You didn't find a tattoo artist today who would admit to having carved this pattern, did you?"

I shook my head.

"That's right." Shi Hao sat back in front of his notebook, "Because it involves tombs, I checked a little more." Guess what I found? ”

"Just say it." Li Jing grimaced.

Shi Hao muttered "It's really boring" and knocked on a document. "Although we all know that Chiyou was killed in the Battle of Zhuolu, and we also verify from historical records that after Chiyou was killed, his subordinates secretly buried his head and body in two places, the head was buried in Shouzhang, and the body was buried in Juye. But there is still a branch of the Jiuli tribe, the Chili tribe, their descendants believe that Chiyou immortality, their legend, Chiyou did not die after the defeat because he injected his soul into the weapon he used at that time, the evil sword, and this weapon is said to be buried in the defeated place, waiting for the day when his descendants will restore their bodies, his soul will return, with the evil sword to dominate China again. ”

"Stop." Li Jing was attracted by a photo in the document and asked Shi Hao not to slide the cursor down first.

"It's a tattoo of their clan. The motif is the image of the original dragon, who believed to be the oldest people. Originally, this tribe lived in the gathering place of Sanmiao, but because they did not want to accept the rule of Yao Shunyu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, they moved around. Knowing that in the late Warring States period, they moved back to Zhuolu and settled there permanently. The Eastern Han Dynasty was able to grow stronger, because the tribe was good at metallurgy, so many weapons were made for the Eastern Han Dynasty. Chiyou was revered as the 'god of war' by later generations, so in the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this tribe received high courtesy. However, with the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chili tribe disappeared overnight. No one knows where they went, and most people later dismissed it as a legend. It wasn't until 5 years ago that someone wrote this legend on the Internet, and the Chili people once again came into people's sight. However, the response was minimal. ”

"Do you think Mr. Zhang, how many of them are descendants of this Chili tribe?" Li Jing and Shi Hao confirmed.

"That's not for sure. The tattoos of this tribe are tattooed by the patriarch, so the technique is relatively rough. They are now looking for the evil sword left behind by Chiyou, but after that accident, the Chili related posts were deleted, leaving only a few reposts. A large part of the information you see now is something that I have recovered in the background of the website. Shi Hao's tone was a bit of a show-off.

"Can you find the current patriarch of the Chili clan?"

Shi Hao was silent for a moment: "The patriarch who can be found passed away last year. ”
