Because the victim of the 2004 case was Long Simiao's mother, Uncle Long seemed reluctant to recall those sad pasts.

Gu Song could understand Uncle Long's mood, and seeing that Uncle Long couldn't provide him with more valuable information, he said a few polite words, let Uncle Long have a good rest, got up and walked out of the ward.

Qiye has been guarding the outside of the ward, as if he is very worried about what is happening in the ward. At this time, there was a fashionably dressed young man standing beside him, and both of them showed a sad look.

"Officer Gu......" Before Gu Song could speak, the young man asked tentatively, "My father's surgery ......?"

Gu Song knew what the other party wanted to say. One day, Uncle Long is going to receive a transplant in this hospital, and they finally waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course, they don't want anyone to come out halfway to "stir up the situation".

Gu Song was very sympathetic to the plight of Uncle Long's family, and also admired Xiaolong and Qiye's filial piety. However, acquiescing to their actions is tantamount to harming the health of another person. As a police officer, does he really have to turn a blind eye to this? No, those black intermediaries and organ traffickers must be investigated, otherwise who will give an explanation to the dead Yu Jianan? Who will give Jia Nan's sister an explanation?

Considering the huge chain of interests hidden behind the illegal organ trade, and considering the donors who are at the bottom of the chain because of their poverty, ignorance or forced to sell their organs at low prices to seek benefits for others, Gu Song still silently made what he thought was the right choice in his heart.

Faced with Long Simiao's question, Gu Song couldn't give a positive answer. Even if he didn't meddle in this matter, the people in the F sub-bureau would not leave this clue alone. No matter what kind of case it is, as long as it involves human life, the police will definitely seize all the clues to pursue it to the end. He will ask Liu Yang to pay attention to the situation in the hospital, as for whether Uncle Long's operation can go smoothly, everything can only be left to fate.

"Don't think too much about it, go in and accompany Uncle Long." Gu Song patted Qi Ye's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible, "I see that the uncle is a little nervous, probably because he is afraid of surgery, you have to comfort him." ”

Gu Song didn't go far after he walked out, and Qi Ye suddenly stopped him behind him, "Officer Gu, the case of the Normal University, are you still suspicious of me?" ”

Gu Song smiled and didn't answer, but saw Long Simiao, who was standing on the side, thinking about something......

After surviving a difficult and long week, Li Xia finally mustered up the courage to go back to school. Although her kind and kind father is gone, her life with her mother has to go on. As long as she takes the first step strongly, let her mother see her efforts, I believe that it will not be long before her mother no longer has to wash her face with tears and can return to her circle of life.

Perhaps because of the recent series of murders, security on campus has been strengthened much more than before. When Li Xia entered the school gate, the security guard at the gate asked her to show her student ID. Li Xia took the opportunity to chat with the security guard for a few words, and learned that the school is now strictly controlling the flow of outsiders, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the school for no special reason.

Thinking about the fences around the campus that even she could climb over, Li Xia couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. If the murderer is someone from outside the school, he doesn't have to go through the school gate if he wants to enter the campus to kill people. If the killer is a student in the school, it doesn't make much sense to control outsiders. If you want to prevent the recurrence of serial murders, in addition to relying on these security efforts, the most important thing is to strengthen your own vigilance.

The road leading to the dormitory was littered with vigilant-looking patrolmen, and at this time of the evening, the otherwise bustling campus was much quieter than usual.

Because the third victim was a sophomore schoolgirl, the real panic spread through the crowd when peers living on campus realized that the danger was so close to them.

No one knows whether the murderer's next target is a man or a woman, old or young, and it seems that the term "perverted killing" has been accepted and tacitly accepted by the people here.

Thinking of Qi Ye's pale and melancholy face, as well as that weak body, it was difficult for Li Xia to associate him with the image of a serial killer, and when the latter two cases occurred, Qi Ye had a conclusive alibi, could he really be innocent? Did you really make a mistake this time?

Just as she was looking down and thinking about her thoughts, Li Xia suddenly heard someone call her name. She came back to her senses and saw Gu Song holding a beautiful Labrador on the other side of the path and waving at her. Before she could respond, the other party had already walked towards her.

"Why are you here?" Li Xia was surprised and delighted, feeling that the appearance of this man brought her a rare sense of security. "Thank you so much last time in Bar Street, if you hadn't driven those two hooligans away, I don't know what would have happened later......" Li Xia said and touched the silk scarf tied around her neck, although the weather was hot, such an outfit looked very out of place, Li Xia didn't want acquaintances to see the scab scar on her neck.

"I'm a little worried, go home to see my mother, and come to the school to find ideas to solve the case." After speaking, he saw the bag that Li Xia had in his hand, which contained a change of clothes and a few books, and guessed that Li Xia had just returned to school from home. "By the way, did you have dinner?"

"Not yet, I want to go back to the dormitory and go to the cafeteria to eat something."

"I just didn't eat either, right?" Gu Song stretched out a hand, smiled at Li Xia and said, "Give me the things, and I'll help you hold them." ”

"No, it's not sinking anyway."

"Give it to me." Gu Song insisted. Li Xia didn't give in anymore, obediently handed over the things, looked at Jack who was sitting on the side with great interest, and asked, "This is your dog?" What's your name? ”

"His name is Jack, and he's a dog with a story."

Gu Song told Li Xia about the origin of the dog as he walked. It can be seen that Li Xia's mental state has improved a lot compared to a few days ago, Gu Song felt a little more relieved, and at the same time, he spurred himself in his heart that he had to quickly find the murderer of Li Tianhua and give an explanation to this girl and her family.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and when they were about to reach the door of the cafeteria, a girl on a bicycle passed by them, and suddenly a sudden brake stopped in front, and then stepped on the ground with both feet to back the car.

Seeing Li Xia, the girl immediately showed an excited expression. "Xia Xia, you're finally back, I miss you to death. You've been away from the dormitory for a few days, and I'm so scared to sleep alone at night. By the way, how are you? Are you okay? Are things done at home? If there's anything you need help with, just tell me......" The girl said to herself like a chatter, and it took a long time to realize that there was still a big living person standing next to Li Xia. She glanced at Gu Song, opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Xia Xia, is this your boyfriend?" So handsome! ”

"Oh, no." Li Xia's face flushed, and he quickly explained, "This is Officer Gu who is in charge of the serial murder case, and we are just friends." ”

The girl pursed her lips in disbelief, but she didn't continue to joke about Lixia. "Okay, I'll go back to the dormitory to do the laundry, see you later!" With that, the girl rode away like a gust of wind.

Looking at the girl's back, Gu Song couldn't help but smile and said, "Your roommate has a very cheerful personality, talking to her more will help improve your mood." ”

"Hmm." Li Xia nodded, and a warmth suddenly rose in her heart. Although unfortunate things inevitably happened to her, she still has many friends around her who care about her and take care of her, which should be considered a blessing in misfortune for her.

Because pets are not allowed in the cafeteria, when the two of them go in to eat, Gu Song handed Jack over to a colleague who was patrolling near the cafeteria to help take care of it.

They chose a relatively quiet place to sit down. Rixia's appetite is not very good, so she just casually ordered a bowl of light-tasting ramen. Gu Song's purpose for asking Li Xia to come out was not actually to eat, so he also ordered the same thing as Li Xia. The two of them sat facing each other, looking like a couple everywhere on campus.

Gu Song first talked to Li Xia Dong Laxi for a few inconsequential words, and then changed the conversation and asked a little seriously: "Li Xia, have you ever been to Longjing Village?" ”

"I've been." Li Xia replied in surprise, not knowing why Gu Song suddenly asked her this. "When I was 12 years old, my father and I went back to our hometown in Guangxi to visit the grave of my aunt whom I had never met. That was my first and last trip to that place. ”

"12 years old...... That was March 24, 2004? ”

"yes." Li Xia looked even more surprised, "How do you know?" After a pause, she patted herself on the head and said, "By the way, you're a cop." ”

"You remember what happened in the village that day, right?"

"What do you mean......" Li Xia asked in a tentative tone, not sure, "that murder in the rape field?" ”

"Yes. Can you tell me a little bit about the situation? ”

"This ......," Li Xia looked embarrassed, "It's been twelve years, and I definitely can't remember the details......"

"It's okay, just tell me the truth about what you remember."

"Well...... "that afternoon, around four or five o'clock, a villager found a female corpse in the rape field at the entrance of the village. The woman was strangled to death by her hands, and the murderer did not rob money or sex. After the incident, the police immediately summoned all the people in the village and believed that the murderer was the person who was in the village at the time. However, after screening all the adult men who were capable of committing crimes, it was found that all of them were ruled out of suspicion, so the police moved the direction of the investigation to a nearby village. Because of that case, my father and I stayed in the village for an extra day. I haven't been back since, but my dad still goes back every year to visit my aunt's grave. ”

"The woman was killed between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, and where were you and your father at that time?"

"I think about it, the weather was fine that day, and after lunch, we went up the hillside to catch butterflies, and we didn't return to the village until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Then it didn't take long for the woman's body to be found by the villagers. ”

"Were there any eyewitnesses to that case at the time? Didn't the police find any clues? ”

"Speaking of witnesses...... "Li Xia suddenly frowned, as if remembering something unpleasant. The police investigated, and the only person who could be a witness was Qiye, who often ran to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village to play. But he said that at the time of the crime, he fell asleep leaning against a tree and saw nothing. So the police clue was broken, and it is said that the real culprit has not been found until now. ”
