At present, Tang Hong's case has solved most of the problems, as long as Ling Yu's assumption is true, the only blind spot in this case is the real murderer's murder purpose and murder weapon, as long as these two points are determined, the murderer's face will be revealed little by little.

It's just that at this time, something worse happened.

[July 14]

At nine o'clock in the morning, the phone in the office rang. After Ling Yu connected, he originally thought that there were any clues about Tang Hong's case. But what I didn't expect was that the phone call I received was another police call.

The call-in information was that at about half past eight this morning, in a hotel in Chengguang City, it was found that Gao Bin, the general manager of Gao's Group, a well-known enterprise in the city, had died in room 3305. The cause of death was asphyxiation.

In desperation, the investigation team could only temporarily stop the investigation of Tang Hong's case and go to the scene of the deceased to search for the situation.

When I came to the scene, no idlers were allowed to enter the room, and there were only four members of the detective team inside. The deceased was lying flat on the bed, unclothed, only a white towel wrapped in his private place.

Chu Ming turned on the computer and began to search for the deceased's personal information.

The deceased's name is Gao Bin, male, age 40 years old, general manager of Gao's Group, the cause of death is suffocation caused by inhalation of toxic substances.

After Chu Ming finished speaking, Ling Yu gave Shu Xiaoran a look, Shu Xiaoran immediately understood what it meant, she walked to the deceased's side, extracted some substances from the deceased's lips, and put the cotton swab used for extraction into the bag. Seeing that Shu Xiaoran had already extracted the substance he wanted, Ling Yu turned around and asked Chu Ming again: "Is there anything else, some personal habits and personalities about Gao Bin or something." ”

Glancing at the computer, Chu Ming's expression was a little stiff, and then he said to Ling Yu: "Gao Bin started a business when he was in college, and then won a huge amount of financial assistance with his original project, and then there was the current Gao Group, but. Chu Ming seemed to just need to say something.

"Go on!" Ling Yu said.

"Although this person is very capable, but his personal reputation is not very good, everyone who knows him knows that this person's private life is very unhealthy, he will come to this hotel every once in a while for recreation, he also has a wife and children, but basically he leaves the money directly, and the days at home are basically very few, let alone spending the night at home, not so much that it is his home, it is better to say that it is only one of his hotels."

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the current era, many aspiring young people at the beginning have made some achievements in their own hands, and some people do not forget their original intentions, continue to struggle, strive towards their life goals, and further realize their life values. But some people are different, like Gao Bin. After making some achievements from nothing to successful entrepreneurship, I began to enter a state of self-forgetfulness, completely forgetting why I wanted to start a business in the first place, because my quality of life has improved, but human nature has declined, and I can no longer find my own direction in the vast fog, and then only greedy for pleasure.

In fact, many people around Gao Bin know about his behavior, but they can only pretend not to see it out of business interests, as long as it does not affect their own interests, nothing else has anything to do with them.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Gao Bin is here, and it is not difficult to understand why Gao Bin is only wrapped in a towel.

Shu Xiaoran rolled the eyes of the deceased, and then examined the deceased's body. learned that the deceased died at about one o'clock in the morning last night, and there were some bruises on the back of the neck of the corpse, but looking at the bruises in front of him, Shu Xiaoran only felt a little familiar, but he didn't say anything.

According to the clues provided by Shu Xiaoran, coupled with his own bold conjectures, Qin Jian began to try to reconstruct the entire incident in his mind.

Assuming that the murderer pretended to be the person Gao Bin asked from the beginning, Gao Bin couldn't see the murderer's face clearly when he was lying on the bed, and he didn't know if it was the person he really dated. The murderer first symbolically massaged Gao Bin a few times, but Gao Bin may have realized that something was wrong and wanted to resist, but the murderer grabbed Gao Bin's neck from behind, and in the process of struggling, it led to the appearance of bruises on the back of Gao Bin's neck. The murderer then took out a handkerchief, which should have some deadly chemicals on it, and used it to cover Gao Bin's mouth and nose, causing Gao Bin to be poisoned and suffocated to death.

Ling Yu asked the owner of the hotel to call up last night's surveillance, but the boss said that the hotel did not have surveillance. I learned from the boss that this hotel was secretly invested and built by Gao Bin himself, just for his own selfish desires, and he also asked not to install a camera, for fear that someone would get his own handle to threaten him and cause property losses to himself. It's just that Gao Bin never thought that his idea was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and he lost the clue to track down the murderer.

At the same time, Ling Yu was also thinking about whether the murderer would know from the beginning that this hotel had not set up surveillance at all, since he could know that Gao Bin was dating at this time, it would not be strange to know that this hotel was invested and built by Gao Bin. Of course, these are only conjectures at the moment, and further clues are needed to determine this.

The clues in the hotel have been searched almost completely, and the detective team is ready to close the team. Tang Hong's case has not been completely resolved, and now there is another case of Gao Bin, although Gao Bin's character is not very good, but at least he has not done anything to break the law, and the police will also be responsible for this case. The test of the detective team has been added to the test.

It's just that when leaving, everyone didn't notice Chu Ming's expression, and there was a look of horror in his eyes. It's like he's thought of something terrible, but he didn't say it, he hopes that this assumption is wrong, if it's true, there may be a few more turmoil in Chengguang City.

【Chengguang City Public Security Bureau】

Back at the police station, on the one hand, he had to deal with Tang Hong's case, and on the other hand, he had to solve Gao Bin's matter. Shu Xiaoran went directly to the laboratory after she came back, and after a while, she came out and brought the test results.

After laboratory tests, it was learned that a small amount of substance on Gao Bin's lips was blue and white nails, and the human body could suffocate within a short time after inhaling blue and white nails. And it won't take too long for this toxin in the deceased's body to be detected, drowning out the real cause of death. So if Gao Bin is found a little later, it will cause a lot of difficulties to solve the case. After learning this clue, the process of committing the crime was basically the same as Qin Jian's guess. However, Ling Yu also noticed one more thing.

"Chu Ming, when you left the hotel, you thought of something." When Ling Yu left the hotel, he noticed that Chu Ming's face was a little wrong, and the look on his face was obviously thinking of something that made him afraid.

Chu Ming was still stunned, as if he hadn't heard what Ling Yu said.

"Chu Ming!"

Qin Jian called Chu Ming again, and Chu Ming reacted at this time.

"Huh?"

"When I left the hotel before, I saw that there was something wrong with your expression, did you think of something?" Ling Yu repeated again.

As a master of computer networking, Chu Ming can know real-time news from various regions at any time through the network. So there is a lot of news that I don't know or something, maybe as soon as you ask Chu Ming, he will immediately tell you the answer as soon as he taps the keyboard.

"Have you ever seen a movie called 'The Entrance to Heaven'?"

"Heaven's Entrance?" Ling Yu muttered to herself.

"Tell me about the plot of the movie." Shu Xiaoran said to Chu Ming, as if he wanted to know the answer urgently, because he also had something to say.

"'Heaven's Entrance' tells the story of a serial murder case, and coincidentally, in the movie, the first person to be killed was a clothing store owner, and the cause of death was a throat cut."

Chu Ming said this, Qin Jian suddenly realized: "Isn't this exactly the same as Tang Hong's case?" ”

"That's right." , Chu Ming continued: "The first deceased can be said to be the cause of death, the identity of the deceased is basically exactly the same as Tang Hong's case, and the second deceased in the movie I think everyone should guess that the identity of the deceased is the owner of a certain company, and the cause of death is suffocation, which is exactly the same as today's Gao Bin case." ”

"In other words, the murderer who killed Tang Hong and Gao Bin is likely to be a person, and the basis for his crime is the movie "The Entrance to Heaven". Qin Jian said.

Shu Xiaoran also said at this time: "I also found that when I checked Gao Bin's body, I found that something was wrong, the bruises on his body were extremely similar to those on Tang Hong's body. ”

Ling Yu replied: "Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the murderer committed the crime based on this movie." ”

"So I suggest that Tang Hong's case and Gao Bin's case be combined." Chu Ming said to Ling Yu.

"Okay, I'll apply to the top immediately for your proposal."

At this time, Shu Xiaoran asked: "But what is the purpose of the murderer?" Why did he kill based on this movie. ”

"At present, this problem has not been solved, but according to the plot in the movie, combined with the case of Tang Hong and Gao Bin, the murderer who killed the two of them committed the crime according to this movie." Chu Ming replied.

"How many people died in the movie?" Ling Yu asked Chu Ming, if it was really a murder according to the movie, then the murderer would definitely take action.

Chu Ming continued: "In the movie, the murderer killed a total of three people, the first two were a clothing store owner and an entrepreneur, and the third was a novelist. ”

"Immediately search all the novelists in the city." Ling Yu said to Chu Ming.

"It's easy, give me a minute."

When Chu Ming was investigating, Ling Yu asked Chu Ming by the way: "By the way, what is the motive of the murderer in the movie?" Ling Yu believes that since the murderer committed the crime according to the plot in the movie, the motive for the crime will be related to the movie.

Chu Ming replied to Ling Yu while searching: "The murderer's motive in the movie is very simple revenge, but judging from the integrity of Tang Hong's wounds, I don't think this possibility is very likely. ”

After speaking, Chu Ming then said: "I found out, there are many writers of all sizes in Chengguang City, but most of them are not very famous, and only one writer with the pen name 'Tingfeng' has risen to the first place in popularity recently. ”

"What is the origin of this 'listening to the wind'?" Ling Yu asked.

Chu Ming continued: "This 'Listening to the Wind' was originally named Liu Xuan, and he was not so famous, but recently he quickly entered the first place on the writers' list with his own novel "Blood Rose", and coincidentally, the novelist in the movie also rushed to the first place on the list later, and this Liu Xuan is very similar. ”

"Therefore, this Liu Xuan is likely to be the murderer's next target." Shu Xiaoran said.

"Chu Ming, you and Qin Jian went to Liu Xuan's house to learn some information, and secretly sent people near Liu Xuan's house, on the one hand to protect Liu Xuan, and on the other hand, to see if we could find some clues related to the murderer." Ling Yu said to Chu Ming.

The case of Tang Hong and Gao Bin has not been completely resolved, and Liu Xuan must be paid attention to while the cases are being handled, according to the plot in the movie, if the murderer really uses this movie, then the next victim is likely to be Liu Xuan. Not entirely certain, but not ruled out.

The arrival of the night, accompanied by the sparse rain, added another layer of coldness to the already fearful Chengguang City. At night, it should be the beginning of the hustle and bustle of Chengguang City, and even on rainy days, there is laughter wafting through the hazy drizzle. But now, the street at night presents a sinister smell of the wind.

In the Geya community, when all the lights are extinguished, there is still a bright light looming in a certain room.

"Boom! Boom! ”

A knock on the door broke the silence. Liu Xuan stopped what he was doing, put on a coat and walked to the door.

"Who?"

"Chu Ming, Chengguang City Public Security Bureau."

The voice outside the door fell, Liu Xuan opened the door of his house and saw two men standing in front of his house, one with glasses and the other with a burly figure. They were none other than Chu Ming and Qin Jian. Chu Ming showed his ID.

"Is there anything going on with the two officers coming to my house so late?" Liu Xuan was a little puzzled.

"There have been some murders in Chengguang City recently, and there are some things I want you to know." Qin Jian said.

"Two, I think you're mistaken, I've been writing new books lately, how can it have anything to do with me?" Liu Xuan was a little confused, it was true that the police came to his house so late, so he was a little nervous.

Chu Ming saw that Liu Xuan was a little nervous, afraid that Liu Xuan would think too much, Chu Ming hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, you are not a suspect, we are looking for you just to worry about your safety." ”

"My safety? I don't understand. ”

"It's complicated, can we go in and talk about it?" Chu Ming continued.

"Oh, you two, please come in." Liu Xuan realized that he hadn't invited them in after chatting for a long time.

After sitting down and saying a simple kind word, Chu Ming went straight to the point.

"You should also know that in the past few days, there have been two homicides in Chengguang City."

"I know this, but does it have anything to do with me?" Liu Xuan didn't understand.

"There's a good chance you're the next victim."

"What!" , Liu Xuan didn't know why Chu Ming said this: "I've been writing books all this time, and I don't have any enemies, why do you think the next victim will be me." ”

Chu Ming: "I don't know if you have watched the movie "The Entrance to Heaven". ”

Liu Xuan: "I've seen it, this movie tells the story of three deceased, the first is a clothing store owner, the second is an entrepreneur, and the third is a ......" Speaking of this, Liu Xuan seemed to understand something.

"Could it be that the murderer committed the crime on the basis of this movie?" Liu Xuan continued.

"According to the current situation, the identity and cause of death of the first two deceased are consistent with the plot in the movie, and the third target of the murderer is likely to kill a novelist according to the movie, and you happen to be at the top of the list with your work recently, and you are very famous, so we are worried about what danger you will have."

"So, even if I don't have any grudges with the murderer, it's very likely that he will complete the ritual killing according to the plot of the movie?" Liu Xuan asked.

"That's it." Chu Ming replied.

After learning about the situation, Liu Xuan agreed that the police would install surveillance cameras in his home without affecting his normal life, and send some police forces to guard him near his home. While protecting yourself, you can find out some clues about the murderer.

Liu Xuan has written countless novels, and this kind of thing usually appears in his novels, but what he didn't expect was that now it happened in reality, and it happened to him. I don't know if I will be the next victim, I can only hope that this incident will become an ethereal illusion like everything in my novel.

Under the night sky, a light rain was still falling, and a cigarette was quietly lit under the flickering street lamp. Smoke drifted upwards in the light rain under the lights. A shadow dressed in black quietly looked at the bright light from the window of Liu Xuan's house under the lamp, and whispered to himself:

"It's not over yet......"

The partially wet novel under his armpit presents a dazzling title in the dim light - "Blood Rose"!
