The light rain was still falling, Chu Ming and Qin Jian walked out of Liu Xuan's house, Liu Xuan walked to the door to see them off, and the two opened their umbrellas and prepared to leave. The wind on a summer night wasn't too strong, but there always seemed to be a suffocating breath in the air, blowing towards them.

At the door of Liu Xuan's house, under the bright light, Chu Ming told Liu Xuan some things to pay attention to in the near future when he left, Qin Jian turned his back to them, took out the Ninety-Five Supreme brand cigarette from his arms and prepared to light one. I didn't smoke at Liu Xuan's house just now, and my addiction to smoking on a rainy night inevitably came out.

The cigarette was lit, and Qin Jian took a deep breath, as if he had unloaded his exhaustion. He watched as the smoke drifted under the light rain to the street lamps not far away. Its gaze followed the smoke. Slowly approaching the dim light spot at the street lamp.

The smoke began to dissipate under the flickering light, and suddenly, Qin Jian's eyes found a long black shadow at that point of light, Qin Jian's expression immediately became serious from the initial relaxation, and he fiercely locked the black shadow.

Although it is not far away, there is still no way to see each other's faces clearly on a rainy night and when the lights are dim. The black shadow seemed to realize that he had been targeted by Qin Jian, and he looked at Qin Jian with his eyes at the same time.

Both seemed to understand what the other was going to do next, and the deep intuitive premonition, the picture of all the actions formed a smooth interpretation in the minds of the two of them. In just a few seconds, both of them were ready to act without any licenses.

"Qin Jian, what are you looking at?" After Chu Ming finished explaining to Liu Xuan, he turned around and saw that Qin Jian was looking at something, he walked to Qin Jian's side and followed Qin Jian's line of sight. It's just that Qin Jian didn't have time to answer himself, and in the next moment, Qin Jian directly threw away the unfinished cigarette in his hand and rushed towards the black shadow in the light rain. At the same time, the shadow threw down the book under his armpit and turned and ran towards the deeper black path.

"Qin Jian!" Chu Ming wanted to stop Qin Jian, but Qin Jian didn't seem to hear it, even if he heard it, he still wouldn't stop his steps. Chu Ming watched the black shadow in the distance running, and Qin Jian chasing behind. The two shadows became farther and farther away from his sight, and his back became more and more blurred, gradually disappearing completely from his sight.

After the two of them left, Chu Ming walked to the street lamp, and when he saw the black shadow under the street lamp just now, it seemed that something had fallen. What was presented under the street lamp was a wet novel, Chu Ming bent down to pick it up, just straightened up, and didn't notice that Liu Xuan had walked to his side. The two of them looked at the book that Chu Ming picked up together.

"Blood Rose"! Author: Listen to the wind.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both knew what that might mean.

On the other side, Qin Jian ignored the hair wet by the light rain and followed the unclear direction in front of him, chasing the black shadow in front of him, and the oncoming water droplets sometimes splashed into his eyes, he wanted to stop and rub his eyes, but there was no way, once he slowed down, it was possible to let go of the prey in front of him.

The black shadow was wrapped in black clothing, and only a pair of mysterious eyes were exposed between the bottom of the tight cap and the dark mask. Loose clothing also makes it impossible to kick the exact body shape.

I don't know how long the two of them ran, the black shadow seemed to have entered a dead end, Qin Jian followed closely behind, blocking the exit, this is like a temporary construction site, surrounded by cement and sand dust, a tall rusty iron door made a "squeak" sound under the light rain. Seeing that the black shadow in front of him had no way to walk, he slowly turned around and faced Qin Jian, and the two stood looking at each other. Although they have been running for so long, the two of them seem to have inexhaustible physical strength. For a fighting champion like Qin Jian, this kind of physical strength is not a problem for him, but what Qin Jian didn't expect was that the other party actually had such a physique. In the dark night and the drizzle and the other party wrapped his whole body, he couldn't see the other party's true face, and he would have been able to guess the other party's body with his own observation, but now in this situation, he can only guess a rough idea.

I don't know what the other party's intention is to come here, but this kind of weather is hovering near Liu Xuan's house, and after seeing him, he turns around and runs, even if he has no connection with the last few cases, then he must know some clues related to these things. I can't see some of the other party's physical characteristics information, and I don't know if I'm sure I can arrest him smoothly now.

The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier, as if to give the right background to what is going to happen in advance. The rain had already wet Qin Jian's whole body, as well as the mud around him, and the muddy dirt stained Qin Jian's shoes, and after Qin Jian's toes twisted slightly in place, he rushed towards the direction of the black shadow in front of him. The black shadow knew that this scene would definitely happen in a dead end, as if he knew that Qin Jian was going to do this, and at the same time that Qin Jian was coming towards him, he was also ready to fight Qin Jian.

After a while, the two were fighting in the rain, and the other party kept attacking Qin Jian with a strong attack, but it didn't seem to be some hooligan fighting moves, Qin Jian was also testing the opponent's strength at the beginning, he could see that the opponent was not like an ordinary person in terms of actual fighting skills or muscle strength.

It seemed that the other party had been attacking him in an unreasonable and disorderly manner, but in fact, the other party had achieved both offense and defense, exerting strong pressure on Qin Jian while also preventing the possibility of Qin Jian's sneak attack at any time. At the same time as the opponent punched, the other hand tightly restrained Qin Jian, as if he was putting a set of shackles on Qin Jian, so that Qin Jian had no chance to make a move, and then when Qin Jian shook his head to dodge the opponent's heavy punch attack, the opponent suddenly kicked at this time, so that the unprepared Qin Jian had no time to defend, and kicked Qin Jian's abdomen, Qin Jian couldn't withstand such a powerful impact for a while, and reluctantly took two steps back.

The black shadow looked at Qin Jian after putting down his feet, Qin Jian looked up at the black shadow, even if the other party only showed a pair of eyes, Qin Jian could still feel the pride under the other party's dark mask, "I can't imagine that the former retired armed policeman, the current fighting champion is so vulnerable." At the same time, Qin Jian didn't expect that there would be such a skilled person in Chengguang City.

However, even though Qin Jian was taken a step back by the opponent just now, what Qin Jian had done before had always been defensive observation, and now he had a general understanding of the black shadow's offensive rules.

The kick that was kicked in the abdomen by the other party just now gradually eased up, and Qin Jian straightened up, ready to start fighting with the other party again.

Soon, the two fought together again, but this time it was different from just now, although the opponent's attack was very violent, Qin Jian was able to resolve the opponent's strength one by one through various skillful forces, and then gave the opponent a powerful attack in the gap between the opponent's defense, Qin Jian took advantage of the weakness exposed by the opponent's attack on him, and kicked the opponent's ribs fiercely. The other party didn't react for a while, he didn't expect Qin Jian's real fighting ability to be so strong.

The black shadow now knew that he was not Qin Jian's opponent, and the current situation could only be a plan. In the panic, he still had a slight sense of stability, he knew that as long as he made a slight move, Qin Jian would follow, so he must fully think about it in a short period of time before he can take action.

Qin Jian has been staring at the other party, after the fight just now, he knows the strength of the other party, although his fighting skills are very strong, but compared to himself, it is still a little worse. The other party saw that Qin Jian had been looking at him, his eyes swept around, he covered the place where he was kicked by Qin Jian just now, and got up quickly. Qin Jian thought that he was going to attack him again.

However, the other party ran towards the side, Qin Jian followed closely, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly turn around and throw a handful of mud and sand at him, although it was a rainy day, but the sudden mud and sand made Qin Jian's eyes temporarily fascinated.

Qin Jian couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, one hand quickly wiped the mud off his face, and the other hand was swinging to prevent the other party's sneak attack. In the condition of impaired vision, Qin Jian seemed to hear a flurry of footsteps, and his footsteps made a splashing sound when he stepped on the stagnant water on the ground.

Taking advantage of the rain that was falling, Qin Jian removed the mud from his face, and when he could see the surroundings clearly, he found that he was the only one left around at the moment, and the black shadow had long since disappeared, Qin Jian couldn't help but be annoyed, obviously he was almost able to catch the other party, but he was slipped away by the other party at a critical time. He threw a hard punch into the air. It hit the heavy air, hit the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, but it didn't hit the black shadow.

Qin Jian returned to the place in front of Liu Xuan's house, and Chu Ming was still standing with Liu Xuan under the street lamp holding an umbrella and waiting for him. Seeing Qin Jian's face of mud and dust, Chu Ming stepped forward and asked Qin Jian what had happened.

"Go back and talk about it." Qin Jian replied.

After that, Chu Ming took out the book "Blood Rose" that the black shadow had hung on the ground just now and presented it in front of Qin Jian. From this point of view, is it really going to take action against Liu Xuan, judging from the situation tonight, it seems that the murderer has already planned everything, and he can't wait for tomorrow, Chu Ming immediately contacted Ling Yu and asked Ling Yu to send someone to the guards near Liu Xuan's home tonight. Avoid any surprises.

On the way back, Chu Ming was driving, Qin Jian was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, after the fight in the rain just now, Qin Jian's whole body was now not a little dry, which brought a breath of moisture to the entire car.

Chu Ming could see that something must have happened to Qin Jian just now:

"Let him run?"

Qin Jian kept looking out the window, the rain made the car window bloom, just like Qin Jian's current mood, Qin Jian's annoyance was not that the other party made himself so embarrassed, but regretted that he was almost able to catch the other party, and maybe even the real murderer, but he let the other party seize the opportunity to escape.

"I almost caught him, but I was blinded." Qin Jian said with annoyance.

"But I really didn't expect that there would be such a strong fighting ability in Chengguang City." Qin Jian added.

Chu Ming turned a corner and continued, "Is there a martial arts master in this place that you praise so much?" ”

"I don't know, I've just been here for a short time, you can take the time to help me investigate some information about this aspect in Chengguang City, I think it may help us solve the case." Qin Jian said.

"Okay, leave it to me, don't worry." Chu Ming replied.

【Chengguang City Public Security Bureau】

Back in the bureau, Qin Jian went to take a shower and change his clothes, and then came to the conference hall to discuss the two cases with Ling Yu and others. When Chu Ming and Qin Jian went to Liu Xuan's house, Ling Yu had already obtained the approval to merge the two cases.

Looking at the two cases of Tang Hong and Gao Bin, Tang Hong was cut by the murderer at about 12 o'clock in the evening of July 6, and the wound was smoothed. Among them, the surveillance was destroyed, and the two remaining problems were Tang Hong's bill and the murder weapon that killed Tang Hong. In Gao Bin's case, the incident occurred around the early morning of July 14, when he was covered with his mouth and nose in the hotel he invested and built, and inhaled cyanide blue and white nails, resulting in poisoning and suffocation in a short period of time. The clues that were not found were also the tools used by the murderer to commit the crime.

Both deceased had similar bruises, mostly on the back of their necks. Both cases are very similar to the plot in the movie "The Entrance to Heaven", both in terms of the deceased's occupation and the cause of death.

According to the plot in the movie, there will be a novelist who will be killed, so it is speculated that the murderer is likely to commit another crime, combined with what happened to Qin Jian at the home of the famous novelist "Listen to the Wind" Liu Xuan that night. The next victim is likely to be Liu Xuan.

The next step is to pay attention to the situation near Liu Xuan's home while solving the problems left over from the two cases, so as to prevent Liu Xuan from becoming the next deceased.

Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran began to track down the situation of the monitoring maintenance plant, and on the night of Tang Hong's death, they found the phone number of the monitoring maintenance plant from Tang Hong's mobile phone, and they were able to determine that Tang Hong had called the maintenance company for a period of time after ten o'clock that night. Therefore, Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran decided to go to the repair shop in person, try to understand some of the situation, and find some clues.

On the other side, Chu Ming continued to track down how the bill had changed.

It was already late at night, and after making plans for the next step, the detective team began to rest.

The rain was still beating on the glass outside the window, and Qin Jian was the only one tossing and turning on the bed, he thought back to what happened tonight, and always felt that the person he was fighting with was a little familiar, but in that case, he couldn't observe any information about the other party. In the endless meditation, Qin Jian unconsciously closed his eyes. Until the dawn came.

In the early morning of the next day, Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran were about to go to monitor the repair shop, and Chu Ming continued to investigate the information about the bill, but Qin Jian didn't know where he went, and he didn't say hello to Ling Yu and Director Bai.

"What about Qin Jian?" Ling Yu noticed that he hadn't seen Qin Jian since he woke up in the morning, and there was no trace of Qin Jian in the entire bureau.

"Didn't see it, didn't he say where he went?" Shu Xiaoran replied to Ling Yu.

"No, I didn't see him in the morning, and his phone couldn't get through."

"Chu Ming, check the location of Qin Jian's mobile phone." Ling Yu continued.

"Okay, wait a minute."

"He blocked his phone location." Chu Ming replied.

"Qin Jian's matter is another matter, and now according to the original plan, all the staff will start to act." Ling Yu ordered.

"Yes!" Shu Xiaoran and Chu Ming replied.

There is no time to pay attention to Qin Jian's whereabouts at the moment, but Ling Yu and the others believe that Qin Jian must have his own reasons for doing this, and now all they have to do is to do what they should do according to the plan and wait for the news of Qin Jian's return.

On this side, Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran had already come to the maintenance shop, and after identifying themselves, Ling Yu communicated with the insiders in detail about the situation at the time of the incident. After communicating with the person in charge of the night and the work records.

On the night Tang Hong was killed, the repair shop did receive a call from a woman for monitoring and repair. Soon afterward, they sent out maintenance crews. Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran found the person in charge of the repair shop.

"Can you call the staff sent out that night to find out what was going on?" Shu Xiaoran asked.

"You go and call Xiao Wang over." The person in charge said to the people around him.

After a while, a person dressed in work clothes came to Ling Yu's side, Ling Yu looked at the person called "Xiao Wang" in front of him, who was thin and thin, and his height was about one meter seven.

Ling Yu asked him, "Did you receive a phone call on the night of July 6th?" ”

Xiao Wang replied: "July 6th? I thought about it, oh, I received it, it was Tang Hong clothing store called, saying that the surveillance camera was destroyed and asked me to install a new surveillance camera, at that time I was still wondering, how could the surveillance camera be destroyed so late. ”

"And then, did anything strange happen on the way there?" Ling Yu then asked.

Seeing Ling Yu say this, Xiao Wang seemed to be frightened, and his facial expression was a little pale, but he quickly recovered: "You, how do you know?" ”

Hearing Xiao Wang say this, sure enough, something happened, Ling Yu had an intuition that what happened on Xiao Wang's way to Tang Hong's clothing store must have something to do with Tang Hong's murder.

"Go on!"
