148. Shadows in the dark

At midnight, it was a dark night, as if a premonition that something big was about to happen, and the stars and the moon were hidden behind the canopy, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional sharp cry of wild cats, for no one dared to linger outside late at night.

A figure crept into the shadows of the street, and if you looked closely, you could see that the man was also carrying a skull-crusher hammer.

It was Jiang Bai, and he left the office in the dead of night.

He had to waste a day to sleep, he was right, he couldn't never stop live streaming to solve the case, if he did something contrary to common sense in the live broadcast, it would cause the world line to collapse.

Now some viewers suspect that this live broadcast is like a crack, and the longer it drags on, the bigger the crack will be, until it collapses.

I visited Master Wu during the day, but this greasy middle-aged uncle slipped like a ball, and no matter which direction he asked, he could be bypassed by the other party, like a fist hitting cotton.

Since the other party refuses to answer questions and always avoids obscene topics, no matter how much he asks, it will be useless. He wasn't a night watchman, and he didn't have an arrest warrant, so you had to get evidence to deal with such a person.

Jiang Bai deliberately mentioned Li Sanniang's matter to him, and sure enough, the uncle of the car repair shop revealed his flaws.

Since ancient times, there have been many mistaken love words, and it is very likely that Master Wu killed out of love.

But what he cared about the most was Master Wu's final reaction, this person was likely to have seen him somewhere.

Jiang Bai was very sure that Master Wu wanted to leave, because he had no nostalgia in his eyes when he looked at the convenience store at that time, and he was a little too arrogant in broad daylight, but in the dead of night, he couldn't tell.

Jiang Bai had to hurry up, it was almost 48 hours before the crime, and he had to end the case before dawn.

Wangzai's convenience store had been sealed by the night watchman, and Jiang Bai climbed over the fence and took out a silver needle to easily pick the door lock.

He walked straight into the store and stopped at the cash register, where there was an unplugged order machine on the white counter, and all the drawers had been pulled open, and the contents were scattered. The lacquered cabinet door at the bottom is open, which should be the place where the money is placed. Such an empty place must be able to put down one or two hundred thousand.

He moved slowly along the wall, it was so dark that it was difficult to see the details, and he had to concentrate.

The shelves are neat, while the counters are cluttered. At the end is a door, and the hut inside is where Li Sanniang usually lives. This indicates that the murderer apparently went straight to the counter, where he was crouching on the tiles, anxiously rummaging through drawers and cabinets. Maybe he didn't know where the money was, but he guessed it was probably near the cash register.

The murderer came prepared, he was wearing gloves, and there were no fingerprints left at the scene of the crime. Everything is like a well-planned theft, but the loss of the money does not guarantee that he is trying to make money. No one can be sure whether the murderer killed someone first, and then deliberately smashed the counter to confuse the public, or was bumped into by Li Sanniang when stealing property, and then killed people.

The most suspicious part of the whole incident is that the surveillance equipment in the convenience store was not working at the time of the incident, which is likely that someone deliberately turned off the camera and did not want to expose himself.

Planning to such a point is by no means a random crime, the killer had been to the store at least a few times before committing the crime, and was familiar with the location of the security cameras. And the only people who can do this should be Master Wu and ...... Li Sanniang herself.

The fixed line of the traces of the scene outlined by the white chalk was not far away, Jiang Bai suddenly sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and began to deduce the entire process of the development of events in his mind. Li Sanniang, a good old man who is kind to others, and a pretty widow who still has charm. It stands to reason that this kind of person has excellent popularity, so there are only two possibilities left: love murder and murder for money.

He withdrew all his mental power and began to profile the entire process of the case.

The wall clock reverses, and time goes back.

Two days ago, at 1:37 a.m., it was dark and lonely on the empty central axis, and stray cats occasionally flashed on the deserted streets, like ghosts.

It's very rare that there is still a shop on this street with lights on, and that is Wang Tsai convenience store.

After the last guest left, Li Sanniang stretched and yawned deeply, I don't know if it was because it was too late, she felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, as if they were filled with lead and couldn't lift them, and next time they had to close before midnight.

But this time it was an accident, because she met a strange guest.

The guest was a young man of about twenty years, and he was wearing a white coat with red blood stains on the corners. On his handsome face, his dark eyes seem to be an endless starry sky, which is unpredictable.

It's rare to see such delicate and good-looking young people in the Land of Justice, and the usual people who come to her shop are bald and greasy men, and of course she knows what the hell those old bachelors are up to. Lao Wu from the car repair shop opposite is different from these people, at least his eyes are clean.

Li Sanniang has a righteous son, and she only hopes that Huang Mao's child can study hard and be admitted to a prestigious university in the future.

So even though she knew Lao Wu's intentions, she still had no idea of remarrying.

The guests didn't buy much, but they were very talkative. Expressionless but polite, he talked to her about many things, from astronomy and geography to humanities and philosophy, from parents to national affairs, and some stories that she did not dare to imagine.

Not long after they started chatting, Li Sanniang secretly turned off the surveillance and deleted the records, if she was seen talking to a young man for so long, I was afraid that she would be ridiculed for eating tender grass.

Time passed imperceptibly, until the guest suddenly said something inexplicable.

"It's time. He said nonchalantly, and then left the shop.

Li Sanniang subconsciously ignored this sentence, thinking that the guest was leaving because it was too late. She looked at the back of the guest leaving and felt a little pleasing to the eye, but she also felt a little unreal, how could there be such a good person, who looked like a messenger of God.

Maybe in a few years, the yellow-haired child will become excellent, I heard that the child recently talked about a girlfriend, it's good to be young, she thought to herself.

She was so sleepy that she fell asleep when she closed the store, and even forgot to turn on the monitor.

As the customer walked out of the convenience store, he suddenly looked up, and the street camera captured the delicate face that was suffocatingly cold.

In fact, Li Sanniang's premonition was not wrong, the guest was indeed an extraordinary person, and the will of the world incarnated into Jiang Bai's appearance, and came to her like a god of death.

Your time is up, and you're going to die.

In the dark shadows, a dark shadow quietly infiltrated the Wangzai convenience store.
