On Christmas Day 2016, I received a special Christmas gift, which was sent by Qu Mo. It was a beautiful gift box wrapped in colorful gift paper with a big purple bow on it.

The gift box was delivered by a young man with a peaked cap, and it was clear that this young man was not a delivery person for a courier company. Because this gift box did not use the special packaging bag of the courier company, the young man did not ask me to sign for it, but just said: "Sir, your Christmas gift." ”

When I took the box, I felt it was heavy and seemed to have a bit of a quivering sensation. I carried the gift box into the room and placed it on my workbench, staring at the colorful wrapping paper pattern and the huge purple bow on the box, thinking two questions in my mind: "Who sent this Christmas present?" What's in this box? ”

Tang Zhenguo and I stood side by side, he supported his chin with one hand, and said solemnly: "Isn't it often played on TV?" This kind of unclear gift box is all contained*, and when it is opened, it explodes with a bang. ”

I stared at Tang Zhenguo's serious face with wide eyes, and I knew that his imagination was so rich, but I didn't object to his words, because my imagination was not low.

"Do you want to call a bomb disposal expert to take a look, if it's really *, then it's terrible, you are a lonely person who is blown up and killed, forget it, I still have a little sugar candy! No, I still have to call Lao Lu quickly and ask him to send a bomb disposal expert. Tang Zhenguo said to me very seriously, without the slightest joke, and he was already calling Lao Lu.

I frowned and wondered, if I had offended someone, and he wanted to retaliate against me, I really couldn't guess who this person was. Because there are so many criminals planted in my hands, some of them are full of evil, some of them are extremely vicious, and it is not surprising that they gave me a * or something.

Still, my curiosity made me eager to open the box as soon as possible.

In fact, I have thought of nine ways to open this gift box, but because of curiosity, I still chose the most direct method, violent demolition.

Don't ask me why? Because I never believed in TV movies.

When I began to open the gift box roughly, Tang Zhenguo shouted 'stop' and ran to the inner balcony like a monkey, as if he was ready to jump off the building at any time. It seems to be the same on TV, after the big explosion, the main characters all jump from the window to escape.

The moment the gift box was opened by me, I stood up and called out loudly, I was really startled when I called like this.

Of course, there was no big explosion in the gift box, and Tang Zhenguo and I were not blown up to the ground.

I was scared because I fell for one of the oldest pranks, the Scare Box.

As soon as the gift box was opened, a strange face popped out, and I was already highly nervous, and I was suddenly startled by this monster that almost touched my face, and I couldn't help but howl.

Tang Zhenguo's rude laughter could be heard in the distance, and I didn't seem to have heard him laugh so gloatingly.

It seems that this Christmas is going well, at least you can hear the laughter.

But as Tang Zhenguo's laughter ended, my mind gradually stabilized, and I found that the frightened monster in front of me that was still swaying up and down and left and right were two lifelike faces, a man's face and a woman's face.

The expressions of these two faces are also very different styles, the man's face is fierce and hideous, and he looks like he wants to eat people, and the woman's face is full of charm, and it also looks like he wants to eat people.

I took a closer look at both faces, and they were made of fine silicone, which was as elastic as human skin.

I've noticed that this human skin mask is made of the same material as the one used by the previous 'Demon Slayer'.

I was stunned, could it be that this gift was sent by Qu Mo?

Take out the scare box in the gift box, and at the bottom of the gift box, press a greeting card with gold powder.

I don't think these powders are some kind of poison, right? Probably not, if Qu Mo really wants to kill me, he has 10,000 ways to let me die, why bother to make so many useless flowers?

I pulled out the greeting card. It is a folded greeting card printed on a white background with a Christmas tree, Santa Claus riding a reindeer, and 'Merry Christmas' written in gilded round English font.

Open the greeting card. A three-dimensional Santa Claus appears in the greeting card, smiling, kind and kind.

If this is a Christmas card from one of my friends, I would be very happy at this time, and if I were ten years younger, I would definitely take a picture and send it to Moments.

But this greeting card is from the Great Demon King Qu Mo, and I really can't be happy.

In addition to the big head tag of Santa Claus, there is also a sentence on the inside page of the greeting card, which is written in black carbon ink through a fountain pen: "Surprise? Don't worry, the real surprises will follow. Qu Mo. ”

I stared at the words on the greeting card, and it was difficult to calm my restless heart, because I knew that this Qu Mo was going to do something.

This man was strange, he seemed to be fighting me, both he and his men, they were proud and happy to commit crimes right under my nose, as if they had deceived me and could fool the whole world.

Deceive oneself as well as others.

Of course, I also admire Qu Mo very much, his supreme criminal talent, and his ability to perceive the heavens, really makes me always sweat in my palms when facing him.

Tang Zhenguo looked sideways at what was written on the greeting card, glanced at me, and said coldly: "My knife hasn't been sharpened for a long time." ”

Even Tang Zhenguo could guess that danger was coming through such a short sentence.

At this time, the siren sounded outside the door, and it was not long before a heavily armed man with a large tin case and a giant protective hat appeared at my door. I only heard him say in a dull voice: "Where is *?" ”

And Lao Lu and Liu Sanxun are standing behind this bomb disposal expert.

I can't help but sigh that the police are really reacting faster and faster. I'm really embarrassed to let the bomb disposal expert run for nothing.

I handed the Christmas card to Lao Lu, and Lao Lu frowned and remained silent after reading it.

What unknown dangers could have occurred?

In the three days after Christmas, everything seemed to be fine, the whole city was quiet and peaceful, and there were no major incidents.

But my heart is not at peace for a moment, these days I always get up before 7 o'clock in the morning, and then call Lao Lu's phone to ask if anyone has reported the crime and whether there has been a homicide. I was really conflicted at this time, I seemed to be longing for the murder to happen sooner, but I also hoped that there would be no more bloodshed that would bring pain and disaster to the victim's family.

Still, what should have happened happened.

On the fourth day after Christmas, at 1 a.m., Lao Lu called and said that there had been a vicious robbery and murder on Baiyan Road.

After receiving the call, I hurriedly woke up Tang Zhenguo, who was sleeping soundly, and Tang Zhenguo heard that there was a real murder case, so he took his own flying knife and rushed to the scene of the crime with me.

The crime occurred on a branch road of the main road, where a lot of cars were parked. The driver's door of an Audi sedan was open, and a male deceased was lying across the gap between the driver's and passenger seats. The car was covered in blood.

I first asked Lao Lu: "Was the door of this car already open before, or did it open after the police came?" ”

Lao Lu said: "This door was already open when I came. ”

I asked, "Who found the deceased and called the police?" ”

Lao Lu pointed to a man in a brown leather jacket and said, "It's this Mr. Wang who called the police." ”

This Mr. Wang's face was flushed, and he still had a strong smell of alcohol.

I asked, "You opened the door of this Audi?" ”

Mr. Wang said, "Yes. ”

"Why are you opening the door of this car?"

"For I saw two young men in a hurry come out of this car, and one of them had a knife in his hand. I was worried that someone in the car had an accident, so I opened the door and looked, but I didn't expect to find that this person had been killed. ”

"Do you see these two people clearly?"

"No, I had just finished drinking, and I was a little dazed, and it was dark, and those two people were still wearing peaked caps, so I couldn't see them clearly."

I nodded, turned on my phone flashlight, and got into the car.

The deceased died after being stabbed three times in the neck with a sharp object, severing an artery in the neck. It's just that this death posture of his is very strange, why does he have his head back in the gap between the seats in front of him?

I stepped out of the car, checked the engine of the car, and found that it was very cold, indicating that the car had been parked here for a long time. Then the deceased must have been killed just after getting into the car, before he was about to start the engine of the car.

Could it be that the murderer has been lurking in the car for a long time?

I checked the doors and found them intact. It shows that the murderer did not break the car door and lurked in the car.

Is that the killer owning the key to this car? This speculation is obviously ridiculous.

So what was the situation that allowed the killer to get into the car?

I think there is only one possibility, that is, the moment the owner of the car just entered the car, the two murderers lurking in the vicinity opened the rear door from the left and right sides respectively, and mutilated the deceased in the car.

So what was the motive for this homicide? Choosing a high-end car to commit murder in the middle of the night, will it be a robbery and murder?

No handbag was found in the car, no wallet or mobile phone was found on the deceased's body, and I found a deep ring mark on the deceased's left ring finger, indicating that the deceased was wearing a ring before. Could the ring have been taken by the murderer?

Based on these indications, I am sure that this was a robbery and murder.

The police later verified the identity of the deceased.

The deceased's name is Kang Shengjun, male, 39 years old, vice president of Qigu Investment Company.

It was learned from the wife of the deceased that the deceased was supposed to have a Louis Vuitton men's tote bag, which was dark blue in color. There is also an Apple 7 phone, and the color of the phone is black. The ring is a Kimberlite men's diamond ring.

After learning about these situations, I was thinking, does this robbery and murder case have anything to do with Qu Mo?

Personally, I don't think it has much to do with it, because Qu Mo's modus operandi is always bizarre, and this robbery is too ordinary to look like it came from him.

While solving this case, I am still closely monitoring whether there are any new cases that are being discovered.

The police used the surveillance video around the case to find the video of the crime scene, although the video is a little blurry, but the process of the two murderers can be seen.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as I speculated, the moment Kang Shengjun opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot, the two murderers quickly opened the back door, got into the car and closed the door. After 2 minutes and 21 seconds, two gangsters rushed out of the car quickly, one of the gangsters was carrying a bag in his hand, and the other gangster took out a knife in his hand, which reflected a dim light to the monitoring probe under the illumination of the street lamp.

According to the traces of the escape of the two murderers, they came out of the branch road, entered the main road, crossed the road again, and ran in the direction of the little swan (place name).

Unfortunately, because the sky was too dark and the two murderers were wearing peaked caps, their facial features could not be seen clearly.

I asked the technician to push the surveillance footage forward, to an hour before the crime. At this time, the two suspects had already appeared in the surveillance.

However, the strange thing is that it stands to reason that these two murderers appeared here before the time of the crime, just to guard Kang Shengjun. If it's a squat, it should be very low-key.

However, the behavior of the two was very abnormal, and one of them actually took out a knife and cut down the street trees on the side of the road, which frightened several pedestrians who were rushing in the dark to dodge. The other man rushed up to slap the tree cutter, snatched the knife, and thrust it into the dirt pit under the street tree.

After that, the two actually scuffled, and knocked a car next to them into the flashing headlights, and I guess the car should have been honking for a long time at this time.

After the lights flashed, the two stopped fighting and hugged each other. I thought the two were hugging each other to show friendship and release their previous suspicions. Unexpectedly, these two men actually kissed passionately on the street.

Everyone, including me, was stunned when they saw this picture. I can't use any words to describe my mood at this time, and I feel that my three views are ruined.

Tang Zhenguo's eyes widened and he said, "Gay! ”

Lao Lu crossed his waist and said in a dull tone: "The behavior of these two people is too abnormal, they should be addicts." ”

Liu added: "Homosexual robbers and murderers who take drugs? ”

I did not object to Liu Sanxun's summary, nor did I agree with it. Because drug abuse and homosexuality are both speculated based on the abnormal behavior of the two in the video, what is the reason for their behavior is so strange, and we must catch them before we can find out.

Lao Lu decided to start with the gay community and addicts in the city to investigate the whereabouts of the two murderers, but the result was nothing.

These two people seem to have evaporated from the world. The case entered a stalemate.

Christmas is not too big a buzz in our second-tier city, and it is also a bit of a party among young people and entertainment venues.

But New Year's Day is different, I think the streets today must be crowded, and the malls must be overcrowded. On days like these, I certainly want to stay at home and think about the robbery and murder cases that I haven't solved yet.

The text tone of the mobile phone suddenly rang. Since the popularity of WeChat, I have hardly received any text messages, and even if there is, it should be a text message from a communication operator. When I picked up my phone, I guessed it was a New Year's Day message from China Mobile.

Not really.

I was a little annoyed by my supposed failure, but I was a little overwhelmed when I saw the text message.

The text message was sent by Liu Lili, just four words and an exclamation mark: Happy New Year's Day!

I'm struggling, do I reply or not? Because I learned from Lao Lu that Liu Lili and Lu Lao's son Lu Jianfei are getting better, although one of the two is now in Chongqing and the other is in Wanzhou, Lu Jianfei is already applying to work back in Wanzhou. This application can obviously show that he is sincere to Liu Lili.

I know that Liu Lili has a special affection for me, so if this text message is replied, will it have any impact on her? Will it make her think I'm hinting at something? Will it affect her relationship with Lu Jianfei?

But if I don't, doesn't it seem like I'm being rude? Will it be embarrassing to go to the forensic center to participate in the autopsy in the future?

Bastard! What's going on in my head? That's why I think my children's personal affairs will affect my thinking about solving cases. Look, it's not a child's affair now, it's just a question involving women, and I've started to design a whole bunch of questions for myself.

These questions seem to me to be garbage, and it will seriously clog my detective thinking path and must be removed.

Whoever loves to text is who goes! In a fit of rage, I deleted this greeting text message from Liu Lili. But then I felt like I was sick, what was I angry about?

Be all abroad.

My thoughts were first broken by this text message, and the next thing was Tang Zhenguo's harassment. He insisted on bringing me with him, saying that he was going with him to accompany Tangtang to buy new clothes.

Tang Zhenguo was holding the mobile phone tightly in his hand when he said this, the mobile phone was still sending out WeChat messages, his eyes were a little ruddy, although it was not the kind of crying, but obviously he had heavy emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Except for Chi Xue, who else can stir the heart of this tough guy?

I know that he made an appointment with Chi Xue today, this Tang Zhenguo, I should be emboldened for him.

The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass!

After Tang Zhenguo dressed up carefully, he went out with me. We went to his father-in-law's house to pick up Xiao Tangtang, then took the bus and went straight to Gao Suntang.

In the car, Tang Zhenguo contacted Chi Xue by phone, and then told me that Chi Xue was waiting for us in the center of Parkson Plaza.

When Tang Zhenguo said this, his voice trembled a little, obviously his heart was very excited.

Although I don't know what happened to Tang Zhenguo after meeting Chi Xue's parents that time, which led to a long period of inactivity. But at this moment, I know how much Tang Zhenguo's heart longs to see Chi Xue.

I got off the bus at Parkson, only to find that there are really a lot of people here, and I don't want to use those idioms that are full of people anymore, in short, there are a lot of people.

Walking through the crowd, I saw Chi Xue. Because she is so dazzling, it is easy to see.

She was wearing a white fleece short down jacket, white pants and a pair of delicate white leather boots, except for the short black and bright hair, she was almost completely white.

I took Xiao Tangtang and watched Tang Zhenguo stride towards Chi Xue, Chi Xue also saw Tang Zhenguo, and her face was smiling like a flower.

They strode closer to each other, Chi Xue threw herself into Tang Zhenguo's arms, and the rugged and strong Tang Zhenguo held the petite Chi Xue and spun around in mid-air. is like a romantic picture in a Korean drama, the two hug each other tightly, regardless of the people around them, and their eyes are different.

This is the picture that a normal lover should have, my three views have been corrected back by their actions.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

I looked down and saw that Little Sugar Candy was covering her mouth and laughing.

After the two of them lingered, they walked hand in hand to us. To be honest, these lovers made me feel like a father and daughter. Chi Xue is the eldest daughter, and Xiao Tangtang is the youngest daughter.

The first purpose of this trip was achieved, and the two lovers who had been separated for a long time finally met in Queqiao. The second purpose is to buy new clothes for Little Candy.

At this time, Tang Zhenguo let Xiao Tangtang ride on his head again, Chi Xue happily held Tang Zhenguo's arm, and I walked beside him, which seemed a little redundant.

Our destination is in the Trade City, where children's clothes are sold in a wide variety of styles and at reasonable prices. Don't ask me why I know, I'm a detective and I have to know a lot of things.

There are also a lot of people in the trade city. However, when I was about to enter the trade city, I found a man wearing a peaked cap and carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag, which was dark blue, very close to the handbag described by Kang Shengjun's wife.

The man wearing a peaked cap, from clothing to shoes and hats, is a cheap commodity, but the bag in his hand is an expensive luxury.

My first reaction was: Could this person be one of the masterminds of Kang Shengjun's murder?

I looked at it again, and found that the bag was bulging, and it was a little weird. Like this kind of bag, it is generally to put some documents and daily necessities, in fact, it is mainly to show that you are arrogant, and few people will stuff this kind of bag with things.

After confirming that this person was seriously suspicious, I patted Tang Zhenguo's arm and motioned for him to look at the man.

Tang Zhenguo's eyes were very sharp, and I knew that he could recognize this person as the murderer in the surveillance screen at a glance, so he slowly put Xiao Tangtang down.

He whispered to Chi Xue: "Take care of Xiao Tangtang." ”

After speaking, Tang Zhenguo and I slowly approached the man in the cap, left and right.

I gestured to Tang Zhenguo with my eyes, Tang Zhenguo nodded slightly, and quickly invaded the man's back, and with a grappling technique, he immediately caught the man in the cap.

Just at this moment, the man's cap fell to the ground, he turned his head to look at Tang Zhenguo, his hair began to emit smoke, his face began to fester, and he let out a terrifying cry that was almost evil.
