Ye Qianqian nodded slightly. "What's in it for him to send so many at once."

"Could it be that He Fei stole the message sent by his number?"

"I don't know. I'm just guessing, I don't know what Lin Xu has become now. Maybe the list was sent by him, and it's also possible. The specifics of what is going on can only be known when you see him. Ye Qianqian said.

Xu Maogong hesitated for a moment and asked, "If Lin Xu knew that you were here, would he come out to meet you?" After that, without waiting for Ye Qianqian to react, he hurriedly added: "I don't mean to use you to lure him out." I definitely listen to your advice, and if I do something that concerns you, I must let you know first. I'm not going to do anything to hurt you. ”

Ye Qianqian glanced at him and didn't say much. Of course, she knew that Xu Maogong would not take advantage of her.

"How many are uncles on the death list?"

"The fourth." Zou Ping said that she knew very well the people and order on the list. "Now the second person on the list who has been killed."

"The second? Is there no particular order in which people are killed? ”

"Or maybe the first one has been killed, but no one knows." Xu Maogong became a little anxious, he was afraid that his father would also be threatened. "Who's the first person on the list?"

"Deputy Minister Cao Delo." Zou Ping said.

"Do we have his contact information?"

Zou Ping shook her head and said, "I do have the contact information of his secretary." ”

"Contact him immediately." Xu Maogong said.

Zou Ping did not hesitate, and immediately dialed the secretary's number, and after a brief call, the other party was connected.

"Hello, I'm Zou Ping, I want to ask, where is Vice Minister Cao now?"

The secretary on the other end of the phone sighed very sadly and said, "Vice Minister Cao, he was killed." ”

"What? When? ”

"Shortly after it was discovered, the medical examiner said that the time of death was probably three hours ago."

"Where were you killed?"

"On the way home, the parking lot of Guoshun Shopping Mall near my home."

"Do you know the cause of death?"

"It's so weird, the forensic doctor said that the cells in the body froze, and the ice crystals pierced the cells in the whole body and died."

When Zou Ping heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, and looked at Ye Qianqian, because the way of death was almost exactly the same as what she said.

"Why did you suddenly ask me this, didn't you?"

Zou Ping hurriedly calmed down and said, "We just came out of a murder scene. The victim was Judge Dong, who was second on the death list. And Vice Minister Cao is in the first place, and we are worried about his safety, so we ask. Unexpectedly, something really happened. ”

"What kind of person is it that kills people so lawlessly." The secretary on the other side cried out bitterly.

Zou Ping couldn't say anything comforting at this time, and it was even more inappropriate to say things like mourning. She can only say that the law will definitely punish the murderer.

After hanging up the phone, Zou Ping said, "Miss Ye, you're right. Vice Minister Cao, he died of freezing in his body. The time of death was probably three hours ago. ”

"Judge Dong was killed two hours ago. Killing one person in an hour, is he going to kill all the people on the list in one day? Xu Maogong's emotions were a little out of control, and he clenched his fists and shouted. After all, his father's name was on it, and he couldn't help but lose control.

"Where is Uncle now?" Ye Qianqian suddenly asked.

Xu Maogong said: "He was called by the Ministry of State Security to hold an extraordinary meeting before. I haven't contacted him since. Saying this, his expression became more nervous, and before Ye Qianqian and them could speak, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed his father's number.

After waiting for a few seconds, the other party still didn't answer, and Xu Maogong's hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Ye Qianqian and Zou Ping looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only sit quietly.

After waiting for about twenty seconds, there was finally movement on the other end of the phone, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, where are you?" Xu Maogong asked.

"Lao Xiao was killed, and I was about to go and see. Where are you? ”

Xu Maogong was taken aback and asked, "Uncle Xiao was killed?" Where and when did it happen? ”

"Just a few minutes ago. I heard that it was in front of his house, but I don't know the specifics. ”

When Xu Maogong heard this, his face suddenly changed, did he really kill one every hour. How did the murderer know their movements so accurately, and where did his information come from?

"What's the matter, do you know anything?"

"Judge Dong and Vice Minister Cao were both killed. The two of them are first and second on the death list, while Uncle Xiao is third. ”

The old man Xu on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. It seems that he did not yet know that the two men had been killed. Because he is not very close to them, he will naturally not be notified as soon as someone is killed.

is different from Xiao Li, the two of them have crawled on the battlefield together, they are friends of life and death, most of their spare time is together, Xiao Li was killed, the people around him called the police, and the first thing that came to mind should be Xu Maogong's father.

"Dad, where are you now, we'll come to you right away. I've got someone here to keep you safe. Xu Maogong spit out these words in one breath, almost without pause in between.

"Am I the fourth on the list?" Old Man Xu asked calmly enough, without the nervousness he expected.

When Xu Maogong's father learned that he was fourth on the death list, he was not frightened and screamed.

He knew he was on the list, but he just didn't pay attention to the ranking order. Now, the three people who shot in front of him have been killed, and there is no doubt that it will be him next.

He was not in a hurry, but Xu Maogong was extremely anxious, asked him where he was, and wanted to take Ye Qianqian to protect him.

"I'm going to the scene of Xiao Li's murder right now. Let's meet there. Didn't you say that the murderer killed someone in an hour, and I was less than an hour away from death. ”

Xu Maogong listened, but he couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't imagine that his father was still saying such things at this time, how calm he was, this is a matter of life.

The interval between the previous deaths was indeed about an hour, but they didn't say that they had to wait for an hour, so maybe they would have done it immediately.

I wanted to persuade my father not to go to Xiao Li's murder scene first, but my father disagreed, saying that what should come is to come back after all, and I can't hide from it, since the murderer is so arrogant, then they naturally have to face it bravely, how can they compromise with the murderer.

Xu Maogong had no choice but to ask his father to be careful, and he immediately took Ye Qianqian over.

In the car, Xu Maogong couldn't help but mutter: "Although I don't know if my father did anything hurtful when he was young. But for as long as I can remember, he has been serving the country and the people. Now he is not even spared, is it because he voted in favor of the vote? ”

Of course, there was an element of pointing the finger at Lin Xu in his words, after all, the list was sent out by Lin Xu.

Ye Qianqian heard it in her ears, but she didn't react at all. At this time, she couldn't help Lin Xu speak, but she couldn't stand on the side of the Xu family.

To be honest, they voted to execute Zixia, which made Ye Qianqian's heart no less sad than Lin Xu, but she didn't do it like Lin Xu.

Now, what she wants to do is to pull Lin Xu back, and she can't let him be ruined by hatred.

Xu Maogong saw that Ye Qianqian's face was a little wrong, so he stopped talking. Now he is also not a human being, on the one hand, he wants to help Lin Xu and Ye Qianqian, but on the other hand, his father is also in danger, if the two sides really come to the point where they must live and die, he doesn't know what to do.

Regardless of the father, this is absolutely impossible. But he couldn't look at Ye Qianqian sad anymore.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Xiao Li was killed, where the whole venue was also cordoned off, surrounded by policemen with guns, and the idlers were driven away from a long distance.

After Xu Maogong revealed his identity, he quickly entered the scene. Ye Qianqian followed him, naturally unimpeded, and no one dared to stop him.

Now, Xu Maogong's father saw them coming, and walked towards them quickly, with a very bad expression on his face.

"Dad, how's it going?" Xu Maogong asked.

"What else?" The father said, looked at Ye Qianqian, and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”

"He's here to help us. The surname is Ye, and her name is Sissi! ”

Xu Maogong didn't ask much, but took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Miss Xu, hello!" ”

This made Ye Qianqian a little unexpected, I thought that Xu Maogong's father was in a high position, and when he saw an unknown junior like her, he might not ask. Unexpectedly, people took the initiative to reach out.

"Hello uncle." Ye Qianqian also stretched out her hand. "Can I go see the victim?"

"Of course. Miss Ye, what did you do before? Xu Maogong asked.

Ye Qianqian shook her head and said, "Idle tourists, no work." ”

Xu Maogong's father wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything, just made a gesture of please. Here, he can still say something, so it doesn't hurt to let Ye Qianqian go in and have a look.

All he had to inquire about what Ye Qianqian was doing, not to track down her identity, but to be afraid that she would be afraid when she saw the corpse.

He could actually guess that this woman should be the one who came to Kyoto last time to ask Xu Maogong to save Zixia. So, I didn't ask too much.

Seeing Ye Qianqian enter, the criminal investigators present took the initiative to give way and didn't ask much. After all, this is the person brought by Xu Maogong, and he must have some outstanding ability.

Ye Qianqian didn't care what other people thought of her, she just wanted to see the corpse, to see if she died at the hands of Lin Xu or He Fei, this was the issue he was most concerned about.

"What is the cause of death?" Xu Maogong took the initiative to ask.

The medical examiner at the scene said: "The deceased was swollen all over his body, and the cells on his body were ruptured, and he felt as if he had been boiled to death. In other words, this kind of boiling death does not come from the outside, but from the inside. ”

"Is it spontaneous combustion?"

The forensic doctor shook his head and said, "It's not spontaneous combustion. It is the water in the body that suddenly boils, which is the cause of the direct death of the deceased. ”

Zou Ping, who was on the side, frowned when she heard Lian Lian, and her body involuntarily leaned towards Xu Maogong's side. This way of dying is so strange that I don't know what kind of pain the deceased suffered in the first place.

Usually the skin is scalded by boiling water, which is unbearable, if the water in your body is boiling, what kind of pain should it be.

Ye Qianqian looked at the corpse, and she also frowned. In between, almost all of the skin on the deceased's face was rotten, and it was conceivable that the body covered by the clothes should be like this, even more terrifying.
