Chapter 21: The Eighth Man
As soon as he returned to the police station, Xie Yuzhe asked people to bring over the compiled materials, and then everyone discussed the connection between these cases.
"These seven people live in different cities, have different jobs, have different life circles, and have no other connection except for looking exactly the same." That's all the information that the case can provide so far, and it's hard to figure out how to tie the cases together.
"Exactly the same is the biggest problem, people in the world look like normal, but like this, there is no blood relationship!"
"Could this be some kind of monster again?" As soon as he thought of these, Zhang He was extremely excited. Song Xin grabbed a book and knocked it on his head, "You know this, don't go out and talk nonsense, I've read it, they are all ordinary people." ”
"Since there are not so many people who look the same, and there should be a reason for this murderer to kill people, just because they look the same, he said that they are very similar, so which one is it like?"
Everyone is speechless, this is the biggest question, what is the purpose of the murderer, love killing or vendetta, and how does the murderer know about the existence of these people? If this was a simple serial murder case, no one would believe it.
"Is it possible to find out who traveled to and from these cities during the time of the crime?"
"There are too many points, the time gap is too big, and it is difficult to find out."
"What about monitoring?"
"It's been checked, but not every community has surveillance, and it's still so late, so there's no result."
"Is there anything special about the location of the crime?"
"This one has one thing in common, they are all the homes of several of them, and the time of death is about ten o'clock in the evening."
"This is also a clue, let's check it out." It seems that even the slightest clue is progress now.
After some discussion, no useful clues were obtained, Xie Yuzhe asked everyone to disperse, and then brought a few surveillance videos from the deceased's community.
Xie Yuzhe sat on a chair, bread in his mouth, staring intently at the screen, he was ready to stay up late.
The seven of them have a very regular life, and according to the survey, they don't have any bad habits, and even if they have a holiday with anyone at work, they don't get to the point of killing people.
Because there is not much surveillance that can be checked, Xie Yuzhe is about to come to the surveillance video from a nearby block or even two or three blocks away, thinking that he may be able to gain something. It is precisely because of this greatly increased workload that it is impossible not to stay up late.
Although Song Xin admired him very much, she didn't plan to watch the video with him, she was tired from running around with Xie Yuzhe in the past few days, and she had to go back to rest now.
As soon as he got home, Jiang Yang asked several questions in a row, and he was also very interested in this case. It's just that Song Xin is really in no mood to say, just close the door and sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but my phone rang, and after looking at the number, she turned off her mobile phone directly. Xie Yuzhe must not be good at looking for herself at this time, she just wants to sleep at this time.
When she woke up the next day, the first thing Song Xin did was to turn on the phone and call Xie Yuzhe.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I've found the eighth man!" Xie Yuzhe's voice was very excited.
"Oh!"
"That's the reaction, don't you think I'm amazing, and I want to know how I found it?"
"I don't want to."
Even if there is still a little bit of wonder in my heart, Song Xin will not say it.
Song Xin's reaction made Xie Yuzhe a little disappointed, like a child who had done a good deed and wanted candy to eat, but he didn't get anything, "Okay, I'll come and pick you up." ”
It didn't take long for Xie Yuzhe to come over, and after Song Xin got in the car, he explained the situation of the eighth person. The eighth person's name was Su Ye, a doctor, and he happened to be in the city where they lived.
"Isn't there not much video to compare, how did you find out?"
Xie Yuzhe waited for Song Xin to ask him, and he said: "Compare them one by one, in order to do this, I have turned people into hundreds, and then I found a person who appeared in multiple surveillance videos at the same time, although it is just a figure, but you have compared with someone, it should be the same person, so this person is the most suspicious." ”
"Then how did you determine that Su Ye was the eighth person he was going to kill?"
"It's a coincidence, I searched with Lin Huai's photos, and there was an accident related to Su Ye unexpectedly, and then I found that these two people also looked exactly the same. Then, I asked someone to call up the surveillance near Su Ye's house and found someone with the same figure. ”
Xie Yuzhe's series of investigations is really not easy, but fortunately, he finally has an eyebrow.
Song Xin closed his eyes and said, "Just catch someone and compare it, I'm tired for this case, you should increase my salary." ”
"You better tell the director about this yourself!"
Song Xin stopped talking, and it was a waste of time to tell the old fox. Speaking of which, it seems that she has been working with the police for three years, and she doesn't know how much money she has lost money for this. It is estimated that he could have become a rich man, but he was delayed by Xie Yuzhe and the old fox.
While Song Xin was in reverie, the car quickly drove into Su Ye's community, and Song Xin and Xie Yuzhe found Su Ye's home according to the address.
"Who?" Hearing a knock on the door, the person inside asked.
"We are from the city police department, and we want to find out about the situation."
The woman opened the door outside and looked at the two of them, and she was indeed exactly the same as Lin Huai.
"Are you really the police?" Su Ye really couldn't think of anything related to himself that needed to bother the police.
Xie Yuzhe took out his documents, and Su Ye opened the door.
Entering the house, Song Xin said directly: "Your name is Su Ye, right?" ”
Su Ye nodded.
"We're here to protect you, you'll probably be here these days, you don't have to worry about anything, just live your life normally."
Su Ye's face was inexplicable. She still doesn't know what's going on.
"Officer, can I ask what the hell is going on?"
"Don't worry, we're here, you just have to do your thing."
The more he said this, the more worried Su Ye became, and suddenly two policemen came to the door and said that they wanted to live in their own house, saying that there were very important things, and it was not okay not to worry about it.
Su Ye also wanted to ask, at this time, Xie Yuzhe's mobile phone rang, it was Yan Dan.
"What's the matter?"
"After comparing the time when the murderer committed the crime, it should be certain that the time when the murderer will commit the next crime will be today."
"Okay, I see."
Hanging up the phone, Xie Yuzhe told Song Xin about the situation. Song Xin recalled the time of other crimes she had seen, and this most recent one was really today. I didn't expect them to come by coincidence, if it was too late, they would only see a corpse when they came.
In this case, Song Xin took out a playing card, bounced it into the air, and tapped the center of the card with his finger, and a bell-like thing appeared around Su Ye, and in a short time, the bell disappeared. In fact, it's not gone, it's just that ordinary people can't see it.
Song Xin said gently: "If someone knocks on the door later, you will open the door, and treat you as the only one in the house, understand?" ”
Song Xin's actions made Su Ye feel a little frightened, but she still nodded instinctively.
Seeing that Su Ye seemed to be scared, Song Xin suddenly showed his standard smile, "Don't be afraid, we are here to protect you, I don't look like a bad person, right, as for the one next to you, you can treat him as if he doesn't exist!" ”
Xie Yuzhe didn't forget to bring himself when he saw Song Xin hurting people, and stretched out his fist to make a movement, Song Xin saw it, but he didn't see it.
Su Ye looked at the state of the two of them so relaxed, and he didn't seem to be as scared as before.
Song Xinnunu's mouth, Xie Yuzhe looked over, it was already nine fifty.
Time passed little by little, and compared to Su Ye, Song Xin and Xie Yuzhe were more nervous. In fact, they couldn't be sure if the murderer would appear on this day, and they couldn't be sure if he really set Su Ye as the next target, and what they didn't dare to think about was whether there would be a ninth and tenth target, this was a big gamble, gambling on human life.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and the hearts of all three people "clicked".
Su Ye instinctively looked at Song Xin.
Song Xin nodded at Su Ye, and Su Ye got up and walked to the door.
"Who?" Although she tried to keep her voice normal, she still trembled a little when she spoke.
However, the person outside the door didn't seem to notice, "I'm here to deliver something for a friend of mine." ”
"I don't know what I want."
"It was Duggard who asked me to send it."
Su Ye looked at Song Xin again, she did know Du Jia, but she wasn't sure if she could open the door.
Song Xin motioned for Su Ye to open the door, so Su Ye opened the door.
The moment she opened the door, a small knife stabbed towards her heart, she instinctively stepped back, the person stepped forward, the knife seemed to be about to stab Su Ye, but it stopped halfway, Xie Yuzhe naturally rushed over and grabbed his hand.
At this time, Song Xin rushed out from behind, pushed Su Ye away, and knocked down the knife in the man's hand. Xie Yuzhe immediately closed the door, stepped forward and held the person down with Song Xin, handcuffing his two hands.
Looking at the series of movements of the two, Su Ye felt that everything was like a dream, just a moment ago she thought that person would stab herself, but she didn't expect it to be not. She looked at Song Xin and felt that Song Xin was like a magician.
Subdued the comer, Song Xin walked up to Su Ye, kept changing postures in his hands, and then snapped his fingers, and Su Ye fell.
"Have a good dream!"
With that, the two of them left with the people they caught.
"Can you teach me the one you just made, it looks pretty simple." It was rare for Xie Yuzhe to be so interested in Song Xin's skills.
"Okay, 10,000 yuan, and I don't guarantee you'll learn."
Xie Yuzhe shook his head and stopped talking, this woman really never forgets money.
"A thousand is fine, I'll explain it once, will it all depend on comprehension."
Xie Yuzhe still shook his head, saying that it was good to say anything to Song Xin, but he couldn't talk about money.
