"How?" I asked Zheng Min.

Zheng Min opened the information and called up the photos of the deceased before his death: "I haven't completely found out whether the newly discovered victim had such a photo before his death, but the related victims who have been confirmed before, everyone has a photo of long black hair before his death, regardless of gender." "On the screen, including the male victim, everyone had long black hair before their death.

Looking at the long hair of several male victims, it looks like stills, Zheng Min and I asked for verification, Zheng Min nodded and agreed with my opinion: "That's right, it is indeed a still, the ten victims also have a common feature that they have all participated in theatrical performances, some are extras, some have participated in stage plays, and have played female roles, the client's son used to be a professional drama actor, and he once performed the second female lead in the modern drama "Cocoon", and her appearance is very amazing, and she dyed her hair before she was killed because she was in "Cocoon" before The excellent watch in it caught the attention of a producer, who helped him arrange a cameo in a TV series, which worked well, and the reason for dyeing his hair back again was also the need for the next TV series. ”

I focused on the face of the male victim, no wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity at first glance, it should have been a little villain in the costume drama that was broadcast two years ago, with a beautiful face and just the right amount of white hair, which really left an impression on me at the time. He must have dyed his hair white. Hair, drama, these two words kept turning in my sea.

"Check to see if there is any overlap in the places where they perform." I urged anxiously.

But I got a negative answer.

"Keep looking." I put down this sentence and began to walk out of the information on the coffee table.

When he pushed the door open, he asked me behind him, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go see Cui Xiuhua. You two. I looked at Jin Hao and Zheng Min, "You two, help me look at the bank card consumption records of all the doctors in the hospital where Han Zhifang once visited, see which doctor has spent on drama, and after checking it, see if there are any family members or lovers who are engaged in art among all the people who are connected with this doctor." ”

I thought about it for a while, and then said one more sentence: "If you can find out, see if his family or lover left him four or five years ago, and my only departure is permanent." ”

After getting a nod from both of them, I took the key to the door and left.

I took the information in my hand, looked at Cui Xiuhua's current address and place of work, calculated the time, and decided to go to her usual place of work first. She now works in a new community where a developer is about to open and puts the finishing touches on cleaning the common areas.

Cui Xiuhua has already gotten off work, or the cleaning of the entire community has already gotten off work, except for the report at the door, it looks very empty from the outside. Because the sales office has also been off work, I can only ask the security guard if I want to know the situation. Fortunately, the security guard on duty today is a person who loves to chat.

Formulaically asked about the situation of some communities, and I talked about the topic to Han Xiuhua, the cleaning aunt who aroused Zheng Min's suspicions: "Who usually does the cleaning here, are we directly hired the cleaners here?" I'm quite concerned about safety, it's not that there are rumors that unknown people have come into the community before to steal some residents' things, and it turns out that it is a gardener hired by the community. Don't mind, it's not for you, I'm just worried about the security here, and I want to know if the property here is my own or not. ”

The security guard didn't care too much, maybe there were more people who inquired about this matter with him, but he introduced it to me easily: "Now there is any company that recruits security guards and cleaners by itself, and they are all hired by third-party companies." We are also a third-party company, but I told you that there is still a big difference between third-party companies. Some people cheat money to get around, and after a few months take the money and run away, you can't find it, not only the owner is pitted, but those of us who work for others are also pitted, taking a little money is equivalent to working for others for several months, which is unbalanced, and some people will do those foolish things as soon as their brains are hot, and they will embarrass everyone. It's not like I've never caught up with such a company. But I assure you, I have never done anything for nothing, we used to be soldiers, and we can't do that kind of immoral thing. ”

Showing Zheng Min himself, the security guard straightened his waist and patted it, and **** continued: "But the company I work for now is a good third party, and you can rest assured in terms of security." The third-party company I am bringing with me should have been established for more than 20 years, the whole process is very mature, and the parent company is still a listed company, so there is no need to worry about reputation problems, and the salary is also very punctual, and the hired people will also have interviews and assessments. ”

But that aunt, didn't Zheng Min say that she behaved very strangely and always made a lot of noise in the air, how could she get an interview if she worked here. I thought about it for a while and continued to ask the uncle: "Seeing that you are like this, uncle, you know that the people here are very easy to get along with." I'll come early in two days to see the house, maybe I'll really choose to live in this community. By the way, uncle, what is the name of your third-party company? If it's so secure, I can ask an aunt I know to go to that company for an interview, and she's been looking for a job lately. ”

The uncle pointed to the advertisement behind him for the promotion of real estate, and underneath it was written that Hanlang Property, a third-party company that provides property services. After reading Zheng Min's information, I already have a rough understanding of this property, but in order to inquire more deeply about Han Xiuhua, I immediately pretended to see it for the first time, and then looked at the security guard with a surprised expression; "This property company. I've heard of it, it seems that the aunt went there for an interview, it must have been three months ago, but she left again. What she said is completely different from what you said. ”

"What's the difference?" As soon as he heard my words, the security guard brother was anxious.

When a person is excited, the brain will have insufficient blood supply, which will hinder normal thinking and give the other party an opportunity. The uncle was a little anxious and said, "How is it possible, I have come into contact with so many people, and everyone gets along very well." Suddenly he froze, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly turned his head away from me to defend himself.

I continued in a timely manner: "My aunt applied for the cleaning job at that time, but she said that she met a particularly unfriendly colleague, who always scolded her, and no one helped her, so she felt that it was particularly unfriendly here, not like a serious company, so she resigned, and now she has a psychological shadow." ”

The uncle's face turned red all of a sudden: "How can that aunt of yours say that, the person she said." Speaking of this, the uncle was suddenly stunned, and looked at me with a strange look, after all, he had been a soldier before, and immediately saw that the purpose of my trip was not as simple as I said, he thought for a long time and finally asked me: "Little girl, you don't like to inquire about the living environment here, you are here to inquire about our company, right?" ”

I immediately nodded: "Yes, I just wanted to come over and see who bullies my aunt every day." But I didn't see her today, I'll come early tomorrow, and I'm going to ask her why she thinks my aunt has robbed her. ”

"Ugh." The security guard sighed, moved two chairs and motioned for me to sit down and listen to him talk about this matter: "Your aunt doesn't understand the situation, and there are a lot of cleaning people here one after another, just because of the strange temper of the aunt who usually scolds and scolds." ”

I listened with wide eyes to the security guard's narration: "That auntie. The security guard pointed to his head; She has a problem here. It seems that I have been stimulated by something and is crazy. She scolds everyone. After thinking about it, the security guard denied his statement again, "It's not that everyone scolds, in fact, she doesn't scold anyone, she is competing with herself." I don't know the jargon in medicine, but I looked like I was paranoid, fantasizing that someone was going to hurt her. ”

I pretended to get a terrible news, patted my chest, and said with palpitations: "Then it's lucky that I didn't meet her today, I don't know the situation, and if I go to her by myself, the consequences are really unimaginable." But then again, people in this state of mind can't be hired, right? Didn't you just say that there should be an interview review? How can you still let him come to work? Aren't you afraid that he will hurt others when he is stimulated? ”

The security uncle still smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, you don't know, that aunt came in by virtue of a relationship, and the person who introduced her to work should have some relationship with the big leader here, and she was sent to us without an interview." should know her situation, so she won't be sent to a crowded place at all, this community has not yet opened, the corridor is all dust after construction, someone has to clean it, this kind of dirty and tiring work is generally no one wants to do, so there are not many people, he will not be stimulated, it is estimated that the people above think that as long as everyone does not recruit her, nothing will happen. But I didn't expect her to be so sick, she was really always scolding, so we reported this problem to the above, but the people above saw the face of his relation, and it was not easy to deal with it, and the other big sisters who did cleaning with him were scared away one by one, leaving her and a few more courageous cleaners to clean up. Anyway, it's already coming to an end, and it will be replaced when the house is handed over in the future. That aunt, in addition to having a bad temper and casually swearing, has very quick hands and feet, and works very neatly, but she is actually still a very good person, just. The security brother didn't say any more when he said this, and finally looked at me and comforted: "Little girl, you still have to show some affection when you deal with things, you see that she will leave in a few days, you still don't embarrass her tomorrow, okay?" It's not easy for her to be sick alone. ”

I smiled and agreed to the request of the security guard, talked about some more things, and found an opportunity to leave the community. It seems that there is still someone behind Cui Xiuhua to support her. The possibility of Han Zhifang, Cui Xiuhua and the mysterious third person jointly cooperating has been determined. I took a taxi to Han Xiuhua's residence.

After being more sure that the mysterious third person exists, I sent the news I heard today to Zheng Min, and then continued to improve the profile of the third person, that is, the most important suspect in the crime: a psychiatrist, who can contact and control the first two suspects, has a high level of education, has a certain medical knowledge, is addicted to astrology, and usually likes to watch theater performances, this preference is likely to be related to someone who was once close to him, maybe this person has a common hobby with her, or is a theater actor, The person close to him had a common trait with the people he murdered, long black hair, more than half of whom could be a woman, that is, the mysterious third suspect had befriended a woman with long black hair and related to the performing arts, but this woman eventually chose to leave him, or had to leave him, most likely death. This ending may have been devastating to him, and he began to look for people who were similar to the person he had been intimate with, and wanted to associate with them, according to the zodiac sign to which he killed the first person, and the woman he had met before should have been from Aries. After that, he befriended everyone he thought resembled the women he had had intimate relationships with, hoping to redeem the lost relationship, but he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he was obsessed with astrology, and he chose the resurgence of his relationship strictly according to the arrangement of the horoscopes, and he regarded each of his chosen goals as a replica of the previous relationship that could not be let go.

When he first started to get along with the target victim, he was able to maintain a normal mode of interaction, but later his behavior became more and more bizarre, especially when he found that the target victim he chose had broken away from his control and turned into a completely new person, such as after dyeing his hair, he woke up from his fantasy, and after forcing the victim to dye his hair color back, he began to enter a strange obsessive-compulsive pattern, asking the victim to be the person he couldn't let go of before, which angered the victim, In the process of leaving and escaping, the victim stimulates the nerves of the mysterious mastermind and decides to charge the first two suspects with killing the victim. But he himself has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so the order in which he kills must be in the order of these people's horoscope attributes. Therefore, he does not necessarily kill the victim as soon as the victim escapes his control, but waits for the opportunity to act in the order of the constellation attributes, and his flash order is not necessarily his breakup order, which also explains why those victims will flee in horror after seeing his entanglement again, instead of resisting, just afraid of being entangled again, but feel that they may not necessarily encounter a threat to their lives and relax their vigilance.

This behind-the-scenes supporter may also enjoy a certain amount of social prestige, so he can arrange for the first two suspects to work near the victims, and it is easy to transfer Han Zhifang and Cui Xiuhua out of the police's investigation after the victims appear.

After I sent the inference to Zheng Min, I sat in the back seat of the taxi and began to flip through the information in my hand. The man behind him seemed to be getting clearer. (To be continued.) )
