The two of us focused on the email, which was much more complete than what we had read online yesterday, covering almost all of the victims' identities. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "the first victim." Song Fei swiped her phone.

"Let's find out the only little girl in their family who hasn't been killed." I suggested.

"It was not written, it should be based on the victim's family protection agreement, so there is no access to the information." Song Fei said with some regret, "But don't worry, our side still communicates information about her family, if they can be regarded as his family." Side to understand the situation. After all, the family of the first victim is the source of the stimulus, and I will definitely collect as much information as I can. Song Fei downloaded the email attachment.

The two of us huddled in front of the screen and looked at the information: the first thing that caught our eyes was the testimony of the victim's neighbor when he was interviewed and investigated. The family's life is quite low-key, and the neighbors' evaluation of the family is not particularly attractive, but it is the children of the familiar old residents, the house belongs to the mother of the hostess, and the old lady is a daughter, after the old lady dies, the house naturally belongs to the later hostess. The little girl adopted by the family was adopted by the old lady from a distant relative, and the specific background is unknown, and the old lady let her daughter adopt her. The hostess already has a son, so in the eyes of outsiders, it happens to be an extra daughter. The outside world evaluates them as ordinary families with both children and daughters. The family kept a low profile and had a good background, with all four members of the family having jobs, the hostess working in a nearby garment factory, the son working in a food processing factory, the man working in a savings bank in another city, and the little girl working in the same city as the man and even in the same place.

I pressed Song Fei's hand that wanted to slide the mouse: "Wait a minute." ”

Song Fei didn't move again, but he didn't understand why I stopped her now, and she looked at me with some confusion. "Sister Song Fei, don't you think the name of this savings bank looks familiar?"

Song Fei glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "This is not? Isn't that in that case? She stared at me with wide eyes,

I nodded: "That's right, because it is a scattered testimony, and it is a cross-city collection, so many of the descriptions are not particularly appropriate, at that time, most people were not used to handing over the bank as a savings bank?" This kind of verbal description is directly recorded in the confession because it does not affect the investigation of the case. So if you ignore it, you won't notice this detail. But it is precisely this detail that connects everything that follows. The world is really small, and sure enough, everything has a certain connection with each other. ”

"Nothing is independent." Song Fei echoed my words, "So, the source of stimulation happened as early as the moment he decided to rob the bank. I think he must have seen something that disgusted him very much, and then when he killed his girlfriend's family, he entered a state of madness after doing it, and at this time, he may have recalled his own experience, and after losing his girlfriend, that is, after going to the target, he felt that he was given a sense of mission again, and he felt that he wanted to save the girl who was in the same situation as his girlfriend. ”

"He's using the wrong method, but the easiest thing is to take them away." Speculating at this point, I'm already a little embarrassed.

"Nope." Song Fei is now calm as usual, "On the contrary, he fell into the quagmire at the beginning, and he could only sink deeper and deeper later." Don't forget, his first case was to rob a bank, although he didn't hurt anyone, but do you think he was right to rob the bank? Whatever the reason, whether it was to make money to go to his wife, or for some other reason, it was a crime for him to stop the gang from robbing the bank. After that, he will not change, and the explanation of this sense of mission is just to make excuses for doing wrong things. If you look at the series of cases in the back, in addition to killing people, he also robbed other people's homes. Do you know why you're not tough Ah Hong? Because after they committed the crime, most of the banks learned their lesson and equipped the bank's security personnel with real guns. It became more difficult for them to rob the bank, and they knew that there was a risk, so they changed their strategy and looked for people who were easy to get started with. Song Fei stared at the information on the screen to search back and forth, looking at the testimonies of the victims' neighbors who had been collected, "He chose the families of victims who were sexually assaulted by foster families, and only he knew what proportion of the ingredients he wanted to rescue these girls." But in my eyes, the so-called sister is just a miniature bra as a natural interface, in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart, and if he makes an excuse for killing, isn't it called murder? "Song Fei's question left me speechless, I only saw the surface of the matter, but I didn't see the sinister intentions hidden under the surface of the so-called righteousness. Yes, Xuan Feng still robbed those victims, but left those girls who had been deeply hurt to show the so-called 'heroism', but this still couldn't hide the fact that he was doing evil everywhere.

"Now there's another problem." I looked at her and said, "Why did he suddenly stop killing?" I remember the last case he did, and there must have been something stopping him from continuing to kill. ”

"Maybe it's just that it's been revealed, and he's found himself in danger, or maybe his gang is in infighting." Song Fei speculated this, and the number of people in the study room gradually increased, and the two of us exchanged glances and decided to go out of the study room.

"No, it won't." Walking on campus, I said to Song Fei, "I don't think I stopped just because of danger, don't forget, although he committed a robbery under the guise of avenging a girl who had the same experience as his girlfriend, but there is more or less protection in it, that is, he is still abnormal." And it is very difficult for you to confront a hateful person, let alone ask him to stop, no matter what the reason, you can't stop a person who has lost his mind. But he stopped, and he has been fleeing until now, as if he had an epiphany, and I don't believe that he was an outlaw because he was afraid. "I don't know what to say, but I always felt that if we questioned him, something else would happen." I have a bad premonition. ”

I raised my head and looked at Song Fei: "My hunch is very accurate." ”

When Song Fei heard me say this, he just smiled lightly: "Let's call the police first, or tell Li Jing, maybe he can see farther than the two of us, after all, he is an expert in this area." ”

I didn't speak again, and Song Fei knew that I was still thinking about this matter, so she proposed: "Otherwise, we will take a closer look at the last case after a while, and we may find out?" ”

I shook my head and rejected the offer; "No, it has nothing to do with the last case, I always feel that he still has a case that has not been completed, and we want to investigate the case that he has not been able to complete at noon. Or maybe it was done later, but it didn't count the cases in the serial murders. ”

The café finally quieted down, the two of us sat in the corner, and I took Song Fei's notebook and searched for similar cases on the Internet with keywords, but there was no breakthrough. Song Fei looked at me with some concern: "Zizhi, I think you have gone crazy." ”

"Maybe." I said perfunctorily, "But I just feel that something is wrong, if there is really such a case that slipped through the net, we find it and unravel it is also a respect for the deceased, no matter what they did in their lifetime, they paid the price after all." I have heard the old man say that after people die, if they are reluctant to leave because of regrets or grievances, and stay in this world for too long, resentment will cover them, making them become lonely ghosts, and finally become resentful spirits. It's been 17 years since the scene of 'new ghosts annoying and old ghosts crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy', and it's time to end, isn't it? I set my eyes on Song Fei, "If he still hasn't done a case, if we rush to arrest him without caring about anything, will his accomplices go to last night's case, and will there be a new deceased." The purpose of the investigation is to stop the killing, not to add new deceased. ”

Song Fei looked at me stunned, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "Finally know why Li Jing wants to cooperate with you?" ”

"Huh?" I didn't answer, and a message caught my attention; "Song Fei, what do you feel sympathy for?"

Song Fei looked at me a little embarrassed: "Me." ”

I didn't wait for him to answer, but I said, "It's like when you see me, you think of your cousin, and you feel empathy and want to help me." You want to help someone because you want to make up for some kind of regret, and the same goes for the murderer. I pushed the notebook in front of Song Fei, "I know this girl." ”

Song Fei glanced at the photo on the screen and looked at me suspiciously: "Do you know her?" ”

"I've had a few faces, and now I'm with the suspect." I thought about it, but I told the truth, "The suspect is someone I know, and there is some kind of inconvenient connection between us. Is this girl his lover? I can't say anything about the relationship between them. What I want you to see is not a photo, but the message behind this photo. ”

"Closed?" Song Fei muttered to herself, "It should have been missing for more than ten years, and the household registration will be automatically eliminated." The family first reported the incident 17 years ago, on June 29, a week after that. Song Fei seemed to be nailed to her seat, and after a while, she turned her head to look at me and asked, "Do you think that's why he stopped?" ”

"Precisely, the reason why he can't be stimulated." I looked at Song Fei and corrected, "Can you help me check this girl's family, I mean the people in the foster family are still alive?" ”

Song Fei tapped on the keyboard, as if entering a webpage about population information, and checked it for a while before saying, "There are not many left, but the trend is to die of natural causes." ”

"Are those who survived still living there, or have they moved somewhere else?" I continued to stare at Song Fei and asked, "Also, I want to ask who among the people directly related has died?" ”

"Is it directly related?" Song Fei picked up the information sheet and said, "If you are talking about adoptive father and adoptive mother, adoptive mother died of illness, and adoptive father and his younger brother are still alive." But this younger brother, this younger brother has just come of age this year and is studying at a local university. ”

I was stunned for a moment: "The most innocent person, if we catch him and let his accomplice be stimulated, I don't know if his accomplice will hurt this child." After all, I don't think a one-year-old kid would do anything that is intolerable at that time, but if he buys shares or wants to kill people, I believe that his accomplices will do more ruthless than him, and you know what I mean by my last name. ”

"I know my brother was only slightly older than this kid when he left." Song Fei looked at the boy with a hint of pity in his eyes, "So the strategy still needs to be notified to the police to decide." ”

"The police cannot be notified." I said anxiously.

"Why?" Song Fei's eyes were full of incomprehension.

"No why." I will force Song Fei's eyes, "Just don't notify the police first, wait until Li comes in, if she wants to notify, let him notify it." By the way, can you help me look up this girl's information? Although I think she should have the same experience as other girls whose families were not harmed. ”

Song Fei didn't answer me, but looked at the screen a little angrily, and after more than ten minutes, she finally gave up and said to me: "No, because the account has been closed, I can't find any information here." By the way, since you know these people, how did they escape from the police for so many years? ”

"It's a fake identity." I pondered for a moment and said, "So in fact, it doesn't matter to that girl at all whether the account is closed or not, he is no longer the same as her." ”

But in fact, no matter how much she changes, she still can't escape her past. Song Fei took a sip of coffee.

"Why run away from the past?" I think this conversation with the 'Ghost Slayer' at the convenience store last night. The girl never seemed to deny her past, and she could even say it, so that the organization could return Xuanfeng's innocence, "There is no past, there is no present, no matter how we escape, we can't deny the impact of the past on us." Changing identities doesn't mean you're hungry and forget the injuries you've suffered, especially when you think about the two people we're talking about, they've been deeply affected. People can forget their wounds, but they will always remember the sins they have committed, and they live in fear every day. ”

"You don't just know them, do you?" Song Fei looked at me meaningfully.

Instead of answering the question, I turned my face away; "I said, I don't want to answer that question."

The two of them were relatively silent, there was no longer the lively atmosphere when they got up in the morning, I knew that Song Fei must have been a little sad by me, and I didn't bother to explain the reason, but thought about my own plan, I just saw the girl's previous address, since there are some things I can't find on the Internet, but if I go to investigate there privately, I should be able to find out, right? I estimated the distance, it wouldn't take too long to get there, and if it was a bus, I wouldn't even have to show my ID. Having made up my mind, I casually put my hands in my pockets. The two of them worked silently in the café for a while, probably because they were really bored, so Song Fei proposed to return to the residence.

"Shall I go to the bathroom? Do you want to be together? I rubbed my belly, "It's some distance from where I'm staying." ”

Song Fei shook his head: "I'll wait for you downstairs." ”

"Oh." I answered and went to the bathroom. The bathroom is a dark room, I entered the innermost compartment, closed the door, observed the changes outside, and dialed the phone that Wei Kai gave me yesterday, and after a few rings, there was a business that had not been opened, and he didn't even say much to him, so he asked; "Zizhi, what do you need me to do?"

"Wait for me at the long-distance bus station, and ask someone to help you leave two bus tickets to H City, and buy two cars on the side. I'll rush over as soon as I can. ”

I hung up the phone for Kaixian, and I left the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

Go downstairs and meet Song Fei. When Song Fei saw me, her expression was a little strange, and she asked her what was wrong, but he didn't answer, I think he should also have a hunch that I would leave, right? Neither of us spoke, and walked silently all the way to where we lived. When I saw the convenience store I passed yesterday, I suggested that I buy another ginger cola.

"After drinking it yesterday, I think it's quite delicious." I scratched my head and explained that, actually, this was the only place I could escape. When I pushed the door in, the power supply was no longer yesterday's uncle. But the clerk seemed to recognize me, and when he saw me come in, there was an art button, and his pupils dilated.

Putting the money on the table, he poured two ginger drinks for us: "Help me heat it up, it's not interesting to warm it together." I said this, and I was also observing the reaction of the clerk, I knew that the clerk had something to say to me, the clerk touched the paper cup, confirmed that the temperature was indeed a certain amount, and then asked us to sit down and wait for a while: "This residence has been hot for a while, our store's thermos barrel has some problems recently, you wait a while, I'll heat it up for you." With that, he picked up two paper cups and turned sideways and walked out of the counter. The moment he looked down, I saw him wink at me, I was hungry, and in the split second that the two of us turned sideways, I took two steps back, opened the door of the storeroom not far from me, rushed in, and locked the door. Song Fei didn't seem to expect me to leave here in this way, so quickly, and I was a little anxious for a while, I heard the sound of the door being shaken violently, and Song Fei's request to let the clerk open the door. "She's going to shield criminals." I know that Song Fei is so anxious that he is a little unscrupulous. I found the little door to the outside of the storeroom, left from there, ran out into the street, heard a horn, I searched around, and finally fixed my eyes on a white ordinary car. The driver was a middle-aged man with a beard and sunglasses.

I got into the car; "Coach station." I said to him.

He didn't say much, and when the car drove onto the main road, I hid myself in the back seat to avoid being noticed, and secretly observed the situation outside the car window, and I found that Song Fei was trying to stop a taxi outside. "Give this to her." I crumpled a paper ball and handed it to the driver, "This car isn't ours today, is it?" ”

"That's right. That's my greatest skill. "Shiki's voice was low, but it still had a distinctly personal character, and the arrogance and disdain in his tone were really hot," she jotted down the license plate number, and could only find an unrelated person. After braking suddenly, he threw the paper ball I handed him out of the car window, hitting Song Fei right on the arm.

The sound of the brakes had already attracted Song Fei's attention, and she called my name, then picked up the paper ball and ran in my direction. But we didn't give him a chance to get close to us, and immediately drove away. It wasn't until the car was far away that I sat back in the back seat and breathed a sigh of relief. "Did she open the note?" I asked the person who was driving.

"I didn't read it, but since he built it, he understands that he can't catch up with us, so he will naturally open the note and see what information you left her, right?"

"If you're so nervous, wouldn't it be nice not to provoke her in the first place." I didn't even lift my eyelids, so I knew that I must have a gloating expression on my face when I was driving now.

"I don't think you're fit to have a beard." I sneered and looked up at him in the rearview mirror, "Yuppie style doesn't suit you, it's weird." ”

The driver snorted disdainfully, and said a little stubbornly: "It's not a strange person to take you away every time." ”

"You helped Jin Hao put on makeup?" Ignoring his little temper, I asked, "The makeup is really good, if it weren't for the eyes, I really wouldn't have recognized the little clerk in the convenience store just now, who is the eldest son in our organization." Uncle 'Ghost' asked you to come and pick me up, right? ”

The driver nodded, and resumed his original voice: "No, didn't you ask Uncle Ghost to bring us a message yesterday?" We still couldn't rest assured at the time, we can't just allow you to be willful, right? So the two of us put it together, and we thought it would be more fun to mess around with you. ”

"Is this fun?" If he wasn't driving, I'd like to slap him in the head right now.

"You know it's not a joke, right?" Wei Kai's unique sarcastic voice filled the small space in the car, "Then you didn't go back and didn't care about it?" Did you know that when you fell out of the car the day before yesterday, I felt like my heart was beating out? The moment I saw you fall to the ground, I felt like I was suffocating. ”

I dodged the obviously ambiguous message in his paintings: "I'm sorry. I think those two words are enough to explain to him what I am thinking. I'm sorry for the trouble I didn't get into being willful, and I'm sorry I can't respond to the feelings he has been investing in.

"Can you be honest with yourself?" He questioned me.

"It's because I'm honest that I'm sorry to you." It's not that I don't understand her feelings all along, but I can't give him any response, rather than dragging the feelings of both parties with love, it's better to cut through the mess quickly, although it will be embarrassing, but it is indeed a responsible approach for both of us.

"What did you write in that mess of paper?" Knowing that I didn't want to talk about this topic again, Wei Kai moved to the ball of paper I asked him to throw to Song Fei.

"Let her inform the little detective to keep an eye on the suspect, and entrust her to tell the little detective that I will act when I go back." Actually, I only talked about the contents of one class in the paper ball. In fact, the note is much more than that: Song Fei, when you received this note, I already needed to fall behind for a while in order to find the answer in my heart, because I didn't know what I would face, so I didn't want you to go with me. If we go to a distant place together, I'm afraid that Li Jing won't even have anyone to tell him the truth, so I can only arrange for you to answer without permission. However, I am confident that I can find a way to stop the murderer's twisted sense of responsibility from harming anyone again. So please trust me and please pass on this message to Li Jing as well. The time limit is three days, and if I still don't show up 72 hours after you get this paper ball, I'll go directly to the suspect with Li Jing. You and Li Jing each hold a key to unlock the truth. Hope I can do well.

The note was written on the washstand in the bathroom so that it could delay Li Jing from notifying the police. Because of the sudden abnormality within the organization, I know that the first to be hurt may be a few juniors who usually have a high-profile style, if even the deep-rooted relationship of Banque is afraid of this change, and even has a strong sense of unease, I believe that the impact of this change is by no means ordinary. If he wants to cooperate with me to seek temporary stability, the implication is that the gang he belongs to is already like a dam of ants, crumbling, and he will not be able to give him any help when danger comes. I can't help but worry about the boss's safety. It would be too selfish to think only of myself at this time, so because of Banque's cooperation, I not only added more sense of crisis. In exchange for this, I hope to find more conclusive evidence and interrogation conditions for Li Jing to help the boss become a protected witness and start a new life in another city under a new identity, rather than the fear of retribution one day. It's an opportunity for them to live the normal life they want, just as I always believe that turnaround always comes in the most critical moments.

So I had to take advantage of this opportunity to get them the right to be protected witnesses.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Kai asked me, maybe he saw me smiling happily in the rearview mirror, "I know you must not have told me all the things, you always say that I don't care about other people's feelings." But in fact, the most disregarding other people's feelings has always been yourself, always without consulting anyone, forcing others to accept everything you have arranged on your own initiative, just like this time, and it is a wayward one to run away, thinking that this is the best thing for us. Sometimes, I've been feeling sorry for your other self in your body, and in order to endure your arrogance, I should live harder than we do! Wei Kai let out such an exclamation, so that I didn't know what to say for a while, I spied his helpless expression in the rearview mirror, and knew that he was really sorry for what I did.

But when I heard him mention Xiaozhi and describe it as hard, my anger suddenly came up, and the most annoying thing so far is that the two of us are compared, even if they belong to the same body, the souls of the two of us are completely different. It's like two unrelated, diametrically opposed people, each with their own way of life, and there is no need to compare them at all. It's like if you see two different leaves, you can only say that you like the texture of one leaf, but you can't say that this leaf is more beautiful than the other. Xiaozhi and I are the same, we both exist in this world in the most comfortable way for ourselves, and we never have the idea of comparing ourselves with each other. But Wei Kai's words angered my bottom line: "I never forced her to do anything, even if I knew that Banque was dangerous, I just reminded her, but I never stopped the two of them from falling in love or doing anything together, but tried every way to protect her." I arranged everything and just wanted us both to be comfortable. ”

"Is it just the two of you, or just you?" The future asked non-yin and yang, "You can't be like this for a lifetime, if it's time to choose to stay, will you still help her arrange everything righteously, instead of trying to replace her?" Have you thought about it? All you do is nothing more than the future to go straight into the life you want after replacing her. You're transforming her, and you've been changing her mind of your own volition ever since you made her work with Banque, even turning her from an ignorant person into someone as shrewd and tough as you. But in fact, aren't you really paving the way for your own future? "I don't know if it's because he was a little annoyed and angry because of his clear rejection of Wei Kai's intention this time, but I'm surprised that my image in his heart has always been so unbearable.

I smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not a kind person, have I ever been kind since the first time you met me?" How? I was angry and thought of the bright moonlight before getting up, and I couldn't get used to seeing the cinnabar mole on my heart? Although it is a joke, there is indeed a bit of resentment mixed in it. Sure enough, you're still jealous of 'everyone loves Zhu Xiaozhi', right?

Wei Kai seemed to have just reacted to what he had just said, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I was just a little angry that you didn't tell me anything, I never regarded her as a bright moonlight, nor did I treat you as a cinnabar mole." I've only ever liked red roses, no, no, no, I mean no roses. No matter what kind of rose you are, I will like only one of you like like the little prince. Probably frightened by my self-defeating tone, Wei Kai's words sounded incoherent, "You have always been the only rose on the B-612 star, just like the little prince's feelings for that rose, my feelings for you are the same, no matter what you do, you are the rose that will never wither." And I'm just worried that your self-assertion is out of everyone's control, so I won't be able to see you again. I don't want to face someone who looks exactly like you, and the outstanding is another soul, so I said that you are reforming her, but my intention is not to criticize you, but when I find that Xiaozhi is becoming more and more like you, I will become more and more worried that you will eventually support a part of her personality and disappear, so that I will never see you again. I'd rather she had been silly

, so that the polarized personality may allow me to find an opportunity to deliberately cause trouble, just to hope that you will show up and can have a few words with you. I don't raise foxes, I don't travel to other planets, I just want to watch my roses every day and watch dusk and dawn, so every time you take matters into your own hands and don't even care for your own life anymore, I become anxious, worried, and want to question why you are doing such a dangerous thing. But every time I see your soul smiling, I forget everything, including the question of how you don't value life. I don't want to act like a fool every time, just waiting stupidly for you to get news and not being able to help you at all. Whether you like me or not, I wish I could do something for you instead of looking forward and worrying all the time. My roses will act, which is really bad. ”

When Wei Kai said this, I couldn't help but blush a little. I was about to say something to alleviate the current embarrassing situation, but I found that we had arrived at the long-distance bus station. Bought a ticket, two departure times, two different cars. Wei Kai looked at the ticket and looked at me with some doubts: "Why?" He asked me, "Why two different cars?" ”

"Alternatives. If I'm going to be in danger, you can go back home and take the eldest and the rest of the kids out as soon as possible. There are changes in the organization, and there is a lot of momentum to come and go, go find the little detective, he promised to protect me, since I am not protected, but you can still be protected. ”

I glanced at him again: "You say that I am light, whether you accept the result, or you think I am overbearing and unreasonable, I don't care about these, I just hope that you can take care of the boss thoroughly." After all, the boss has a great favor to me. I patted Wei Kai on the shoulder, and got on the bus that was about to leave, leaving Wei Kai standing alone in place. I'm waiting for you in H City. I shouted at him as I opened the window, and he put on my familiar smile, though it looked a little reluctant. (To be continued.) )
