It was nearly ten o'clock in the morning when I was done with all this work. The two of them sat back in the car, and Xia Shi said to Gu Song: "Let's go, go back to the city bureau, send these things to the people in the technical department, and see if you can find any valuable clues from this." ”

"I've seen enough." Gu Song yawned, held back his sleepiness and said, "It's still difficult to find fingerprints from the RMB." Moreover, this package box has been touched by countless people, and the information on it should have been destroyed a long time ago. I think this box is the most ordinary carton, it's easy to get your hands on, there is no text logo on it, and it doesn't make much sense to check its source. ”

"Then you can't go without checking." Xia Shi said seriously and seriously, "Isn't this the work of our police, we can't let go of any hope of solving the case, even if in the end we find out that what we do is useless, but if we don't try, how can we know that this is useless." ”

"Then go yourself." Gu Song yawned again as he spoke, he was really sleepy. "You send me home first, I need to go back and take a shower and rest. If this continues, I may really die suddenly. ”

Xia Shi thought he had misheard, and glanced at Gu Song in surprise, "You're not mistaken, right?" Let me take you home, you will be your chauffeur for me? ”

"By the way, it's the same direction anyway." Gu Song adjusted the angle of the seat, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and planned to close his eyes and squint. Who knew that Xia Shi suddenly leaned over, grabbed him by the collar and said, "You get out of here." If you want to go home, take a taxi yourself. ”

"Hey, what's your attitude?" Gu Song grabbed Xia Shi's wrist, pulled it away from his collar with force, and warned the other party, "The surname Xia, let me tell you, I'm still a wounded person." You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will sue the leader? ”

"Hmph, still sue." Xia Shi sneered disdainfully and said, "You think you're a primary school student." Besides, I didn't let you stay in the office all night to watch the surveillance, are you willing to toss yourself, do you blame me? ”

"You ......" Gu Song felt very angry, and said that he didn't stay up late to work to solve the case early. You're fine, go first, who knows what you did last night. Thinking of this, Gu Song couldn't help but look at Xia Shi curiously. When he found that Xia Shi's face was also full of tiredness that could not be concealed, his beard was not shaved, and his clothes were not changed, he suddenly smiled evilly and said: "Eh, no, look at you like this, didn't you go home last night?" ”

"Huh? What did you say? Xia Shi frowned, although he didn't want to admit it, but his uncomfortable expression revealed his weakness.

"Haha, you can't fool me." Gu Song smiled even more proudly, "I found that you are not kind, you left me sick and worked so hard, and ran out to live happily by yourself." Are you going a little too far? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I really have something at home." Xia Shi sat in the driver's seat again, fastened his seat belt, and didn't want to talk to Gu Song anymore. "If you want to go home, you can go down and take a taxi by yourself, and if you don't get off, follow me back to the city bureau."

Gu Song sat in the co-pilot and didn't move. After being silent for a few seconds, he slowly asked, "Xia Shi, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

"So what?" Xia Shi asked rhetorically, "We're not friends, isn't it normal for me to hide something from you?" ”

"This ......" Gu Song felt that what Xia Shi said was very reasonable, and he was speechless for a while. However, thinking of what had happened recently, he continued to ask, "Is the thing you gave to Ruonan this morning related to the case we are going to investigate?" Did you go somewhere to do research without me? ”

Xia Shi just lit the engine, thought about it and put out the fire again. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one himself, and handed the cigarette case to Gu Song. Gu Song didn't answer, and Xia Shi didn't care about him, he took two puffs of cigarette and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to hide this from you all the time." I just wanted to investigate myself first to see if this matter was related to the human trafficking ring we were looking for. If it's okay, it's all about me. If it has anything to do with it, I want to make it clear to everyone when Director Xia and Detachment Qiao are there. ”

"In other words, you want to take the credit for yourself?" Gu Song said half-jokingly.

"Whatever you want." Xia Shi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "This is originally a private matter that others have asked me for, I just don't want to waste everyone's time in uncertain situations." If I tell you, with your character, you will definitely accompany me to investigate. I know you're not in very good shape right now, and I don't want to add more burden to you......"

"I understand." Gu Song smiled, it was rare to hear Xia Shi say two heart-to-heart words to him, but he felt a little unacceptable. He sat up straight and asked solemnly, "What the hell is going on?" Can you tell me now? ”

So, Xia Shi recounted to Gu Song the things that happened around Mu Zi, including Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance, the appearance of the anonymous letter out of thin air, and Mu Zi's situation at school. He now only suspects that Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance is related to human trafficking, but because he did not intervene in the investigation of the disappearance case and does not have relevant information about the case, he cannot now determine whether this is an individual case or an organized crime.

In addition, the anonymous letter also made him feel very unsure. Although he hoped that things would be as Mu Zi said, and that the anonymous letter was just a frivolous prank made by some classmate to tease her, he was still worried that the person who hid the anonymous letter would be bad for Mu Zi.

Gu Song asked Xia Shi if he would take the time to investigate Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance case next. Xia Shi replied that he should confirm this matter by himself first, once he found out that Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance involved a girl abduction case, he would notify Gu Song as soon as possible, and there would be absolutely no concealment.

Gu Song believed Xia Shi's words. After chatting about this matter, Xia Shi sent Gu Song back to his home, and went to the city bureau to send inspection materials to Ruo Qinan by himself.

Back at home, Gu took a hot bath and fell asleep groggily on the bed without eating anything. He was indeed tired, and the injuries on his body were painful. The reason why he gritted his teeth and pretended to be casual in front of Xia Shi was just because he didn't want his rival to see his weakness.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, a damn scam call woke Gu Song up from his sleep. He hung up the phone and scolded him fiercely, saying in his heart that if Lao Tzu wasn't too tired to take care of you, he would have to play you to death as a liar today.

He put on the quilt and tried to sleep a little longer, but found that he was completely sleepless. He sat up, leaned back on the pillow at the head of the bed, and flipped through the news on his phone. At first glance, he was surprised to find that the social impact of the "4.7 Homicide" had already exceeded his expectations.

As long as he typed words related to the case into the search engine, the overwhelming information was instantly presented in front of his eyes. People are discussing this matter on Weibo, forums, and post bars, guessing the identity of the murderer, and predicting whether the murderer will continue to kill and how he will kill people, as if this is a thrilling game.

What Gu Song didn't expect was that most netizens were on the murderer's side. They seem to regard the murderer as a hero, and instead of them, they have done what they want to do but dare not do. People took this opportunity to vent their hatred of human traffickers, and even once again appealed to the whole society: human traffickers should be sentenced to death.

Indeed, there are too many families in this society who have been hurt by human traffickers, and there are too many children because they have experienced a hellish life. Thinking of Tian Jiaxuan's tragic experience, Gu Song's heart also felt very sad. Although he is not sympathetic to the traffickers who are brutally killed by the murderer from a personal point of view, how can he, as a police officer, watch people see a murderer as a hero to punish evil? This is nothing short of contempt for the police, for the law.

Gu Song saw many people expressing their opinions on this case on the Internet, and he found that the most common words people said were:

"It's unconscionable to kill well, and to use disabled children to beg, and such people are innocent."

"Have the consciences of the traffickers been eaten by dogs? Don't they have children of their own? If their families were treated in the same way, it is not known what they would think in their hearts. ”

"Kill a few more, so that they will never dare to come out to commit crimes in the future. The law can't cure them, someone can clean them up. Killer, good one, I'll always have your back! ”

There are many, many similar words, but in summary, people feel that the murderer's actions are right and a symbol of justice. People even gave the murderer of the "4.7 Murder" a name, called "Killer of the Night".

Gu Song found such a post in a well-known forum, and the content of the post was first a photo, in which a ragged woman was holding a baby in her arms and begging on the side of the road, which made people feel very pitiful to look at. At the bottom of the photo is the time and place of shooting, and at the end of the sentence is written: Mr. Killer, I found a suspected abducted child near the North Railway Station, please come and find out the truth. If it's a human trafficker, you will kill it!

The post was followed by hundreds of replies, all of which were praising the landlord. At the same time, some people followed the example of the landlord and posted photos taken by themselves, explaining the detailed shooting location, and asked Mr. Killer to come and clean up.

Seeing such a post, Gu Song's heart felt very depressed. On the one hand, he was worried that after this murderer had the support of the people, he would become more and more arrogant and rampant; On the other hand, he didn't know where to look for the murderer. If the killer cannot be caught before the next move, the police will be even more passive. At that point, things will definitely get even more difficult to manage.

Gu Song tried to imagine what kind of expression the murderer would have on his face when he saw these news, and what kind of feelings he would have in his heart. He must be very excited and satisfied to be recognized, accepted, needed and expected by this society, right?

Is he a person who has ever been hurt by human traffickers? Is it a person with a strong sense of justice? Why doesn't he trust the police, he doesn't trust the law, because he's already so disappointed in that?

Night Killer, is it your wish to be a hero in people's minds? Are you going to fight evil with evil, stand on the opposite side of the law, and punish crime in your own way? Are you enjoying what you're accomplishing so far? Or do you not want to be a hero at all? You killed those two traffickers just to make the police notice that there are such a group of sinners in the shadows of the city through extreme means.

In fact, you know, it's not that the police have never noticed these dirty trafficking transactions, but they haven't paid enough attention to them, and they haven't cracked down hard enough. You have sounded the alarm for this society in your way and accelerated the police cleanup of this group of people. So, what are you really good? Or is it evil?
