Ten years ago, although the mountain city was not as prosperous as it is now, with high-rise buildings, most families were still dominated by landlines, and the two largest mobile phone brands were Nokia and Motorola.

But water dispensers have become very popular.

Naturally, it has stimulated the vigorous development of an industry, bottled water distribution companies.

For a time, the profession of water delivery worker has become the first choice of many migrant workers, as long as they have the strength to do it, the threshold is low, and the salary is okay.

From a certain point of view, the water delivery worker and the current takeaway brother are actually of the same nature.

It's just one for water and the other for food.

Of course, the water delivery workers worked harder, after all, many houses at that time did not have elevators, and it was enough to carry a bucket of water up to six or seven floors.

Whether it was Mo Xiaochuan, Section Chief Wang, or even the old captain Xiong Qian ten years ago, they never thought that the murderer of the Shancheng corpse annihilation case would be a water delivery worker.

Because this does not conform to Mo Xiaochuan's judgment of the murderer.

Don't forget, that guy is not an ordinary person, but a strange beast Gu carving in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!

Although Mo Xiaochuan hasn't tried the ability of Gu Carving, he thinks that it should be similar to Qin Weiyang, with this ability, doing anything casually is the rhythm of making a fortune, Gu Carving will be a water delivery worker?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

On the other hand, in the eyes of the police, the murderer of the Shancheng corpse annihilation case actually has a certain anti-reconnaissance ability, and there is hardly any trace of the crime at the crime scene except for the DNA residue left in the victim's body.

There were no murder weapons, no footprints, no fingerprints, not even suspected hair!

In addition, the knife wounds on the bodies of each victim were very neat.

This shows that the murderer must be a person with a higher education, excellent psychological quality, and a profession related to the use of knives!

How can it be a water delivery worker?

It is true that ten years ago, all cases occurred in the victim's home, and the water delivery worker has a great chance of gaining the trust of strangers and being allowed to enter the victim's home.

But......

Mo Xiaochuan clearly knew that even if the murderer didn't borrow the identity of a water delivery worker, with his bewitching power alone, he should be able to easily let the victim welcome him to the door!

Why did the Gu Eagle make such an extra move?

Is it purely to hide your identity?

Mo Xiaochuan was a little puzzled, and then asked weakly, "How can you be sure that it is the murderer?"

Zhou Meizhen's emotions still couldn't be calmed down, but the crying had gradually subsided, and an inexplicable fear flashed in her eyes, and she sobbed: "Because later I found out that the bucket on the water dispenser in the house was full of ......."

Xiong Qian took a deep breath and tried to make his voice as smooth as possible: "Then why didn't you tell us such an important clue back then?"

"I don't know...... I don't know......" Zhou Meizhen curled up in the chair, constantly shaking her head, breathing quickly and flustered.

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "She was afraid that if she saw the murderer's face, the murderer would retaliate against her." ”

Hearing this, Xiong Qian's heart sank, and he finally understood that the reason why Zhou Meizhen kept moving and hiding in the past ten years was not to avoid herself, but to worry about being found by that perverted murderer!

But he couldn't accept this fact, and there was already a faint anger burning in his eyes.

"But that's your daughter! Are you just scared that you let the murderer go unpunished! If you were willing to tell the truth, we ...... it."

Section Chief Wang sighed secretly, pulled Xiong Gan and said: "Comrade Xiong Qian, don't be too excited, the matter has passed, and it is useless to say this now, our top priority is to quickly follow this clue to investigate, hoping to let the real murderer be punished as soon as possible!"

Xiong Qian stabilized his mood for a while, and the anger on his face gradually turned to sadness, because he knew that what Section Chief Wang said was right.

There is no resurrection from the dead.

Now he just wants to be able to catch the murderer.

The clue provided by Zhou Meizhen is very valuable, and if it had been placed ten years ago, it would have been possible to narrow down the scope of the case if it had only been carefully investigated by the nearby bottled water distribution company.

But now, ten years have passed.

During this decade, many bottled water companies have closed, relocated, and reorganized, and it was impossible to expect these companies to keep the personnel files of water delivery workers in the era when computers were not widely available ten years ago.

So this clue seems to be the key, but it is actually very difficult to find.

And Mo Xiaochuan also realized a problem.

"Ten years ago, the victims were not all concentrated in one area, but scattered all over the mountain city, and I suspect that the murderers may not always borrow the identity of the water delivery worker. ”

Section Chief Wang also frowned: "But why is it a water delivery worker?"

In this regard, Xiong Qian gave his own answer: "I suspect that it is to make it more convenient for the murderer to step on the point in advance!"

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan finally came to his senses.

I see.

After the Liu Siyu case, he suspected that the murderer had stepped on the spot in advance, which is why Liu Siyu's death was different from the eleven victims ten years ago.

Liu Siyu did not die at home, but on the way home from work.

Because the community where Liu Siyu lives has one more thing than the house ten years ago.

Monitor!

So now the question is, ten years ago, even in that era when surveillance cameras were rare, the murderer was burglary and murderous every time, how did he know that the person he killed happened to be home alone that day?

What if there were other men in the room at the time of his murder?

At this time, the tentative role of the water delivery worker is reflected!

If the victim woman is alone at home that day, it will be difficult to carry the bucket to the water dispenser, and at this time, the water delivery worker will often be invited into the house to help change the bucket!

This is how the murderer of ten years ago used this method to select the victims!

The murderer really stepped on it in advance!

So, maybe ten years ago, the killer changed many different water delivery companies?

This makes it even more difficult to check.

It was only at this time that Section Chief Wang asked Zhou Meizhen in hindsight: "Do you remember what the water delivery worker looked like ten years ago?"

Zhou Meizhen did not answer.

And Mo Xiaochuan secretly shook his head at Section Chief Wang.

He felt that the reason why Zhou Meizhen hid this secret for ten years without telling it was probably not simply because of fear, but more importantly, because Gu Diao had probably planted a seed in her heart that made her unable to speak.

If she hadn't been here today and used the power of the nine-tailed fox's demagogy, maybe Zhou Meizhen wouldn't have revealed the truth anyway.

It was a power that was beyond Zhou Meizhen's personal wishes.

So, will the Gu Eagle make her remember her face?

For a while, Mo Xiaochuan looked at Zhou Meizhen's gaze, full of infinite compassion.
