The alley behind Paramount has been fenced off by police officers, and several dancers are standing not far away to watch. In the corner lay the bodies of two men who had been cut in half, and a woman with a broom stood tremblingly beside the deceased.

Lu Hehuan, Ying Xi and Bao Ying came to the scene, Bao Ying put on gloves and prepared for an autopsy, and Lu Hehuan began to investigate the scene and look for clues.

Ying Xi walked over to a nearby police officer, "Who is the informant?" ”

The officer pointed to the woman with the broom, "It's the cleaner here." ”

Ying Xi strode up to the cleaner and stared at the woman in front of her, but saw that she was in her thirties, dressed plainly, and her face was beautiful.

"How did you find out?" Ying Xi asked.

"At about five o'clock in the morning, I came to clean this place, and I ......," the cleaner paused, "and I found two people lying here, I thought they were drunk, but when I looked closer, I found ......" she said and covered her chest involuntarily, "both of them are divided into two sections!" ”

Ying Xi couldn't help retching after hearing this, and waved her hand at the cleaner, signaling her not to say any more.

Lu Hehuan walked over when he heard the voice, with a look of concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Ying Xi shook his head, Lu Hehuan saw that Ying Xi was fine, and looked sideways at the policeman.

"Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"

"I asked the foreman of Paramount and said that the deceased was a guest who was drinking at Paramount yesterday and left around three o'clock in the morning."

Lu Hehuan nodded and walked towards Bao Ying, "Did you find anything?" ”

Bao Ying frowned slightly, his face solemn, "The two deceased were both men, one was about thirty years old and the other was about forty years old, and the time of death of the two was similar, both around three o'clock in the morning. Judging from the wounds, it should have been committed by the same murderer, and the murder weapon was a large knife. ”

Lu Hehuan frowned thoughtfully.

Ying Xi walked to Lu Hehuan's side, with a worried expression, "Long Zhentian did it, it's miserable now." ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi looked at each other, and there was a thick uneasy look in their eyes.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi finished investigating the scene of the crime and hurriedly came to Bao Kang's office.

Bao Kang learned that there were two murders in the back alley of Paramount last night, and angrily threw a pile of information on Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi's faces.

"Rice bucket! It was the two of you who let Long Zhentian go because of the bad things, which caused so much trouble in the future! Now I'm going to find a way to wipe your ass! Bao Kang scolded.

Lu Hehuan took away the messy information on his face, "Director Bao, the murderer may not be Long Zhentian." ”

Bao Kang glared at Lu Hehuan angrily, "Xiao Ying's autopsy report is clearly written, the murder weapon is a big knife, and Long Zhentian's iconic murder weapon is a foldable three-foot-long big knife!" ”

Ying Xi was on the side to help Lu He Huan, "Director Bao, I support He Huan this time, Long Zhentian was injured by me yesterday and has difficulty moving, how can he kill people with his injuries?" ”

"If she were normal, then she wouldn't have killed eleven, no, thirteen! She's a devil, you know? Do you know what happens when you let a demon go? Bao Kang stared at Ying Xi angrily.

Ying Xi was speechless for a moment and lowered his head.

"So you must capture Long Zhentian as soon as possible."

"Director Bao, we will definitely arrest Long Zhentian as soon as possible." Ying Xi said stiffly.

"I will definitely solve the murder case of the old gate last night as soon as possible." Lu Hehuan added.

Bao Kang's anger did not subside, and he glared at the two of them fiercely, "The chief inspector is very concerned about this case, if you two can't catch Long Zhentian within three days, you don't have to do it!" ”

Small households in the area of the old gate are accustomed to living on the water, and the streets and alleys are like swimming snakes, winding between rows of whitewashed walls and tiles. The long walls on both sides of the alley are covered with dense creeper vines, and the breeze blows and whispers.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked side by side, and the bright sunshine sprinkled on their shoulders.

"How come the top students who came back from Scotland Yard can't even catch an injured murderer, if they had caught Long Zhentian last night, there would have been today's incident?" Ying Xi complained.

Lu Hehuan stared at Ying Xi's side face and sighed, "You are really a detective who can grab credit and shirk responsibility." ”

Ying Xi was annoyed and punched Lu Hehuan, "What did you say?" Want to rebel? ”

Lu Hehuan shrugged disappreciatively, "I just sighed, if it weren't for Inspector Ying's sudden enthusiasm, I'm afraid Long Zhentian would have been arrested by Inspector Yuan and them back to the headquarters." Inspector Ying shuttles through the willow alleys all day long, but is fascinated by a murderer who disguises himself as a woman, and the hero saves the beauty is really embarrassing. ”

"A man misses, a horse misses." Ying Xi was at a loss, but he still had a hard mouth, "Hmph, haven't the top students of Scotland Yard not even practiced the ability to distinguish between male and female?" ”

"Even if I'm clumsy, I'm not stupid enough to be fascinated by a guy who dresses as a woman, and I still recognize someone else as a sister." Lu Hehuan retorted unconvinced.

"You ......" Ying Ying was overjoyed and turned his face away, "I am sympathetic." ”

"I see that you are overflowing with compassion, like Tang Seng, you can't distinguish between demons and monsters, and you are kind and kind." Lu Hehuan did not relent.

Ying Xi thought for a moment, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, but he still put on a reasonable posture, "Since you are as capable as Sun Wukong, don't pursue the previous matter, think about what to do next." ”

"You usually have the Tao, or you think." Lu Hehuan walked forward without caring about himself.

Ying Xi was immediately deflated when he heard this, and chased after Lu Hehuan pitifully, "Long Zhentian is cunning and insidious, he has not been caught in more than a dozen crimes before, and now he is only given three days to arrest him, which is really difficult." ”

"No matter how cunning the murderer is, he will show his flaws." Lu Hehuan's attitude was firm.

Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan when she heard the sound and moved the corners of her mouth.

Suddenly, Lu Hehuan stopped, pondered for a moment, and turned to look at Ying Xi, "When did you injure Long Zhentian?" ”

"It should be around half past two in the morning, and when I go to bed, I think it's three in the morning." Ying Xi rubbed his beard thoughtfully.

"If those two prostitutes were killed by Long Zhentian......" Lu Hehuan paused, fell into thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "How long does it take to walk from Ruyi Inn to Paramount?" ”

"About twenty minutes." Ying Xi blurted out.

Lu Hehuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ying Xi stared at Lu Hehuan, puzzled, "Long Zhentian was arrested yesterday and attacked by us, he should have hidden, how could he run to Paramount to kill people when he was injured?" ”

"Long Zhentian killed those two prostitutes on the spur of the moment." Lu Hehuan guessed.

Ying Xi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Hehuan as if he didn't understand, "You mean that Long Zhentian passed by Baile Gate when he fled, and happened to bump into two prostitutes and killed them?" ”

Lu Hehuan nodded.

The more Ying Xi listened, the more confused he became, "Then where will he flee after the killing?" Will it be out of town? ”

"I heard that the city was ordered to be closed at four o'clock this morning, and Long Zhentian only has one hour to leave the city." Lu Hehuan paused, his eyes lit up, "Let's first determine if Long Zhentian is still in the old gate." ”

Ying Xi glanced at Lu Hehuan, "How can you be sure?" ”

"Don't forget that Long Zhentian suffered a gunshot wound in the leg, if he didn't leave the old gate between three and four o'clock, he would definitely go to treat the wound."

Ying Xi suddenly realized, and patted his head, "Just go to the hospital and check it out." ”

Lu Hehuan shook his head, "I guess he may not dare to go to the hospital for treatment, go to the pharmacy to check first." ”

"Save time and split up." Ying Xi nodded.

"After the check, meet at the door of the café on the corner of Xinjiang Road."

"Okay."

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi left separately.

Ying Xi went to the largest "Baicaotang" pharmacy in the old gate, and the owner of the pharmacy told him that no one had come to bandage his wounds in the past month.

Lu Hehuan came to the "Renai" pharmacy, and the pharmacy guy told him that no one had bought anti-inflammatory drugs recently.

The two of them visited all the pharmacies in the old gate, large and small, but found no trace of Long Zhentian.

Ying Xi stood at the door of the café on the corner of Xinjiang Road and looked left and right, he waited for a long time before Lu Hehuan strode over.

"I don't have a clue, what about you?" Lu Hehuan's face couldn't hide the frustration.

Ying Xi drooped his head, "The same." ”

Lu Hehuan sighed and thought for a moment, "Did he go to the hospital for treatment?" ”

Ying Xi rubbed his beard thoughtfully, "The goal of going to the hospital is big, Long Zhentian was a man dressed as a woman yesterday, and after we saw through it last night, he shouldn't show people in the costume of a woman again." ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "It is easy for the doctor to see the gender during the treatment, since no one has seen his true face, then there is no need for him to disguise himself as a woman and go to the hospital to arouse suspicion." ”

"So we can narrow it down and check if there were any men who went to the hospital last night to treat their leg injuries." Ying Xi saw that the capture of Long Zhentian had an eyebrow, and immediately came to the spirit.

Lu Hehuan nodded and walked towards the hospital with Ying Xi.

After a while, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi came to Tongren Hospital near Paramount Gate, because it was Sunday, there were more patients in the hospital, and patients lined up in a long line in the corridor, and a weak female nurse stood at the door.

In the surgical room, a surgeon in a white lab coat sits at a table, in his thirties, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stood opposite the doctor with inquiring eyes.

The doctor lifted the frame of his glasses and looked at Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi, "There were no male patients who came to treat their leg injuries last night. ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi glanced at each other, with a disappointed look on their faces.

"If it's a patient dressed as a man, can you tell?" Ying Xi asked unwillingly.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ying Xi with confidence, "Of course, if we doctors can't even distinguish between men and women, what kind of disease do we see?" ”

Ying Xi was puzzled, frowning and looking at Lu Hehuan beside him, "Could it be that Long Zhentian left the city with an injury?" ”

The doctor shook his head, ignored the two in front of him, and instructed the nurse at the door, "Call the next patient in." ”

The nurse nodded and shouted outside the door, "Li Qingyue, Li Qingyue......"

In a moment, a man of five big and three thick walked in.

"Queue up for treatment, don't cut the line." The nurse reprimanded the man in dissatisfaction.

The man scratched his head, "I didn't cut in line, didn't you call me by my name?" ”

"When did I call your name? My name is Patient Li Qingyue. The nurse was slightly annoyed.

The man's chest straightened, and his tone turned hard, "It's Li Qingyue." ”

The nurse looked embarrassed, "How do you call a woman by her name?" ”

"The name was given by my father, how do I know! Besides, who stipulated that Li Qingyue is a woman's name! The man's temper came up and he said sharply.

Lu Hehuan stared at the man, turned to look at Ying Xi, and suddenly realized, "Who said that Long Zhentian must be a man's name?" ”

Ying Xi understood, and slapped his head suddenly, "I'll just say, I've been in and out of fireworks for many years, how can I not see the difference between a real woman and a fake woman?" Long Zhentian was originally a woman, and we were confused by her name! ”

The doctor and nurse looked at Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi in confusion, wondering if the two in front of them were suffering from madness.

Lu Hehuan hurriedly walked up to the doctor, "Doctor, did any woman come to see her leg injury last night?" ”

The doctor regained his composure and shook his head in dismay.

Seeing this, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi immediately fell into disappointment, and at this time, the nurse at the door came over, "Around four o'clock in the morning, there was a woman who came to deal with the leg injury, and it was Dr. Wang on duty at that time. ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying were taken aback, and looked at the nurse at the same time.

The nurse continued: "The woman suffered a gunshot wound to her leg and the bullet injured an artery in her leg, but fortunately, Dr. Wang stopped the bleeding in time and helped her perform surgery to close the wound. ”

"Hurt an artery in your leg?" Lu Hehuan didn't expect Long Zhentian's leg injury to be so serious.

The nurse nodded, feeling palpitations, "If you come a little later, your life will be in danger." ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "Thank you." ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi glanced at each other and walked out of the doctor's office.

The hallways of the hospital were filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and occasionally, the cries of patients and loved ones could be heard from the wards on either side. Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked in the corridor.

Ying stared at Lu Hehuan's side face with bewilderment, "Since Long Zhentian is a woman and her leg is so badly injured, why didn't you catch her?" ”

Lu Hehuan stopped and frowned, "I'm also very strange, as soon as I chased out, I disappeared without a trace of Long Zhentian, and even the blood on the ground disappeared out of thin air." ”

"How is this possible?" Ying Xi didn't believe it, "Could it be that Long Zhentian will fly away?" ”

Lu Hehuan was stunned, and lowered his head thoughtfully, "Flying to the sky, retreating to the ground?" He chewed these four words repeatedly, and the scene of chasing Long Zhentian last night came to his mind, and he suddenly remembered that there was a manhole cover at his feet at that time.

Lu Hehuan suddenly realized, with a look of chagrin, "Why didn't I expect her to hide there!" ”

"Where are you hiding?" Ying asked puzzled.

"The well, Long Zhentian was hiding in the well at the time, and the well was right under my feet! If I had been more careful at the time, I wouldn't have missed such important information. The more Lu Hehuan spoke, the more he blamed himself.

After Ying Xi understood the ins and outs of the matter, he proudly held his chin and looked at Lu Hehuan provocatively, "Why are the top students in Scotland Yard so careless." ”

Lu Hehuan, who was angry, glared at Ying Xi fiercely, "It's not that you're injured, I'm worried that I'm careless?" No conscience! ”

Lu Hehuan said and turned around and walked away. Ying Xi smiled and followed.

The weather was fine, and the warm sunlight shone through the window on the sleek wooden table in Bao Kang's office. Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stood opposite Bao Kang and reported on the progress of the case.

"Director Bao, we have locked Long Zhentian's gender, it turns out that Long Zhentian is a woman." Lu Hehuan thought that Bao Kang would be very shocked, but he didn't expect the other party to be quite calm.

Bao Kang shrugged casually and glanced at Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi who were standing in front of the table, "So what?" Did you catch anyone? ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi shook their heads.

Bao Kang was annoyed and slammed the table, "After working all day, I only locked Long Zhentian is a woman?" ”

Ying Xi smiled flatteringly, "Locking Long Zhentian is a woman, the scope of arrest will be narrowed, don't worry, we will definitely arrest this stinky girl as soon as possible." ”

Bao Kang's anger did not subside, and he stared straight at the two of them, with a commanding tone, "I don't care if Long Zhentian is a man or a woman, you two will arrest people for me first!" There are still two days left, no matter what method is used, Long Zhentian must be captured! ”

"Director Bao, it's a little ...... two days" Ying Xi looked embarrassed.

"Two days is a bit too long, isn't it?" Bao Kang rudely interrupted Ying Xi.

"It's not." Ying Xi hurriedly denied it.

"Then get out of here and do something!"

"Yes!" Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi replied in unison.
