"Lan Xi?" Xu Sa raised his eyebrows: "What does it have to do with her?"

Su Tong was stunned, how did she answer? Do you want her to ask clearly, "How are you going to deal with your relationship with Lan Xi?" ”

Thinking of the relationship between Lan Xi and Xu Sa, Su Tong's heart sank again, although Xu Sa did not explicitly forgive herself and planned to relive the old dream, but now no one can deny the chemistry between her and Xu Sa, she doesn't want to be the most despised and despicable junior.

"Lan Xi is just my friend, and we have nothing to do with anything else."

Xu Sa's words rushed out of his mouth, and he didn't know why, seeing Su Tong's tangled and lonely appearance, his chest also became dull.

I'm just telling the truth, I'm not explaining it to her.

Xu Sa can only make excuses for his behavior in this way.

Su Tong raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shining, and the joyful light was so hot that it could almost burn him, but her face turned red instantly, her free hand shook desperately, and she stammered when she spoke: "I didn't, no, I mean Lan Xi is also the person next to you, you, oops!" I didn't mean that. ”

Xu Sa suddenly smiled, this smile was like the rising sun piercing the clouds, the spring flowers reflecting the sun, and the originally cold and cold lines were incredibly soft, just like when he was originally on campus, every time he saw Su Tong.

Su Tong's long eyelashes blinked, and a string of tears rolled down without warning.

How long has it been since she had seen this smile, how long had she not seen these eyes overflowing with tender regret.

Xu Sa's smile froze on his face, and he was shocked by Su Tong's sudden tears, each tear hammered his chest, clutching his heart tightly and rubbing it repeatedly, the sour pain even made his back slightly stiff.

"You ......"

Before Xu Sa's words were finished, Su Tong suddenly broke free from his palm, wiped the tears from his face, and said while walking briskly with his head down: "It's a meeting, and they are all waiting for us." ”

Xu Sa chased after him in a few steps and said in a low voice, "After a while, we need to have a good talk." ”

……

In the conference room, everyone looked solemn, and since they knew that the last two massacres were the re-offences of the murderer thirteen years ago, no one could feel relaxed.

The vicious murderer thirteen years ago has always been the heaviest stone in the heart of the serious crime team, especially the case in which Lin Xiao was retaliated against, as long as there is no veteran member of the team who does not know.

Even though they are not afraid to face the murderer, how can the old and young relatives in the family prevent it, just hide and see the light of day?

"Team, this case ......"

It was Wang Dalu who broke the silence first, although he had also encouraged everyone's emotions before, but he himself had been beating the drum in his heart.

"Now it's a race against time for us, no one knows how many lives will be taken by the murderer reappearing this time, we hesitate for a second, and the people will get closer to the invisible death."

"I can also understand everyone's concerns, so we have to be more rigorous and precise, and we must not be surprised until then."

Xu Sa also knew that his words sounded hollow, but he had to say that the brave one who met on a narrow road wins, and if he loses in momentum, he will only lose even more in the future.

"As soon as the second case came to light, the wrestling between the murderer and us officially began. That man was arrogant and extremely confident, which can be seen from the fact that he wantonly left evidence at the crime scene that he was full of disdain and provocation against our police. ”

"Since the opponent can use false evidence to confuse us more than once, in today's highly developed communications, we can also mislead the murderer through the media network."

Su Tong's comparison materials are well prepared, from slides to tables, as well as the relationship between the characters in each case.

Xu Sa took the data and analyzed it carefully, starting from every subtle doubt, and constantly inspired the team members to put forward new insights.

"The first seven cases of thirteen years ago were analyzed in detail by Lin Xiao, the former head of the serious crime team, that is, the reverse deduction method was boldly adopted, and the eighth case after that was a typical targeted revenge killing, needless to say, who the victim was."

"Only in this case did the murderer leave no clues, which shows that the murderer has a clear understanding of himself, and he is not sure whether he will leave real clues under the conditions of anger and horror."

Xu Sa took out the case related to Lin Xiao and drew the key points, he always felt that there were still neglected places in this case, and it would definitely become a key breakthrough.

"Team Sa, I would like to add two points."

Su Tong said:

"First of all, Case No. 8 is not completely without clues, in the previous and subsequent cases, the victims were forced to tie up each other, only the victim in Case No. 8 was tied by a professional knot method, which shows that the murderer was personally operated, at this time he was no longer simply a provocation for fun, but showed deep fear and empathy."

In other words, the murderer transferred his fear of almost being arrested to the innocent victim, which is a big flaw in his character. Many of us have empathic effects, but to varying degrees, and it is clear that the murderer cannot control himself in this situation. ”

"Another point I would like to draw your attention to is that in the first case that happened recently, the victim's binding method has become a professional knot method, which means that the murderer is out of control again, what will happen to make the murderer who has been silent for thirteen years commit the crime again, and the social relationship of the victim in the first case must be thoroughly investigated, and there can be no dead ends."

After this point was raised, there was a buzz in the conference room, and everyone was discussing the case one after another, but Xu Sa just looked at Su Tong, and the gloomy look in his eyes made it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

After the meeting ended, Xu Sa took half a day off for the team members, and the situation was very serious after the merger of the new and old cases, and he had to let his team members go home to make corresponding arrangements, while he himself drove in the direction of his home.

"Lan Xi, let's meet."

After receiving Xu Sa's call, Lan Xi was not surprised, from the day she saw Su Tong appear next to Xu Sa again, she was mentally prepared, but she was unwilling.

For so many years, she Lan Xi has been by Xu Sa's side, although he has always been unpretentious to herself, she always firmly believes that she will have the last laugh, but when she saw the two people who forgot to kiss that day, Lan Xi really collapsed.

No matter what Xu Sa's purpose for looking for her today is, she will never give up.

Xu Sa's home was originally in the old city, but after the demolition of that area, because of the land price, he took a lot of compensation alone, and the originally poor family situation suddenly improved.

At that time, Xu Sa was planning to propose to Su Tong, but his mother passed away unexpectedly, Su Tong broke up with him, and a series of things caught him off guard and was anxious.

It wasn't until his father died of depression that his sister refused to forgive him for going overseas, Xu Sa reluctantly bought a one-bedroom apartment as a place to stay, who knew that Lan Xi, who was originally an old neighbor with him, soon chased after him and bought a house not far from him.

This time, when he went home, in addition to getting a change of clothes and preparing to live in the dormitory of the serious crime team, he also had to explain to Lan Xi.

The afternoon sun was very strong, and Xu Sa deliberately chose a position in the middle to sit down.

Although the façade of this coffee shop is small, it is very warmly furnished, and at the moment, except for him, there is only one clerk leaning against the bar and dozing lazily.

"Jingle" rang a bell, and Lan Xi, who was full of spring breeze, pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in, walking towards Xu Sa with light steps.

"A glass of lemonade, thank you."

She ordered from the clerk first, reached out and stroked her hair, and then looked herself up and down, and then said with a smile to Xu Sa and said, "I'm here, haven't you waited for a long time." ”

"No, I've just arrived."

Xu Sa shook his head.

"It's so rare to take the initiative to find me, is it suddenly found out that I am good, so ...... Hey, you're holding the luggage, this is? ”

Lan Xi was half-truthfully joking, and suddenly saw the suitcase at Xu Sa's feet, and his heart suddenly pinched.

"I'm going to live in the dormitory for a while, but I really don't have time to run back and forth, and I have something to tell you when I look for you today."

Xu Sa leaned forward, put his arms on the table, looked at Lan Xi seriously and said, "Lan Xi, go and live with your parents for a while, they haven't seen you for a long time, right?" ”

Lan Xi's parents immigrated to Canada a few years ago, and they had hoped that their daughter could go over together countless times, but in order to stay by Xu Sa's side, Lan Xi always refused without hesitation.

Hearing Xu Sa's words, the smile on Lan Xi's face fell, and she shouted excitedly: "Why did you suddenly let me go?" Am I in your way? You're afraid I'll get in the way of you and Su Tong, aren't you? Haven't you given up on her yet? ”

Lan Xi's voice caused the clerk to look at this side frequently, but she didn't care at all, even if there were many people watching her, she could only see Xu Sa in her eyes.

"Lan Xi, calm down, it's not what you think, but it's related to the case I'm handling now."

Xu Sa was very helpless.

He is not wood, and he knows Lan Xi's intentions, but not all the waiting will be answered, whether it is openly or secretly refused, I don't know how many times over the years, Lan Xi just doesn't know how to write the word give up, is he not decisive enough?

"Then are you afraid that I will quarrel with you? Xu Sa, I know that it was wrong to run to you recklessly last time, and I also know how important the case you are handling now is, I promise that I will never bother you casually again, don't drive me away, okay? ”

Lan Xi begged bitterly, how dare she leave at this time.

Back then, Xu Sa loved Su Tong so much, but she saw it in her eyes, and finally the two broke up, she thought that her opportunity had come, but no matter how hard she tried, Xu Sa never had a trace of closeness to her, and now Su Tong appeared again, she will definitely regret it for life when she leaves at this time!

Xu Sa rubbed his temples, the long-term stay up late and high-intensity work had already exhausted him, and Lan Xi's entanglement at this time gave him a headache.

"Lan Xi, don't make trouble, I'm thinking about your safety, I can't reveal too much to you before I solve the case, but there is one thing, that murderer is extremely vicious, if he is forced to be urgent, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack the people around us."

"You also know that I'm no different from a lonely person now, but you've been my friend for many years, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to your parents?"

Xu Sa's words made Lan Xi's eyes light up, she grabbed his hand tightly, and said excitedly:

"Xu Sa, do you care about me, do you have me in your heart?"

I was really impatient to continue pestering, Xu Sa just wanted to hurry back to the dormitory and squint for a while, he pulled his hand out of Lan Xi's hand, stood up and said:

"Lan Xi, listen to me, go and stay with your parents for a while, I really don't have time to distract you."

Looking at Xu Sa, who was resolutely gone, Lan Xi raised his hands to cover his face.

She is also a princess with many suitors and is held in the palm of her hand, but every time she is in front of Xu Sa, her pride always loses her armor and fails.

The first person to be tempted loses first, she is his eternal defeat, and she is destined to meet him for the first time more than ten years ago.
