At two o'clock in the morning that night, Jian Shutong stood alone on the empty 21st floor, nested in the sofa, waiting for Team Li to come and take away the "brothers" locked in the room.

He had previously asked Wang Mo to check the monitoring at the door, as well as the information related to Lu Ziyuan, and it happened that Wang Mo sent back the sorted out information at this time. The information about Lu Ziyuan is so comprehensive and comprehensive, and even the video of him and Lu Ziyuan meeting at the door of the coffee shop in the morning was edited and put up.

Jian Shutong opened the video, the first half of the video only had crowds of people coming and going and street scenes, and the edge of the second half of the video showed a back of Wang Mo, and Lu Ziyuan's face was not photographed from beginning to end. Wang Mo met Lu Ziyuan later, before Wang Mo appeared, Lu Ziyuan must have been recorded by the camera, but there is no in this video, he is always a little distance away from the surveillance.

Jian Shutong dragged the progress bar repeatedly, trying to find clues from this single angle of the video. He stared at it for an unknown number of times, and suddenly noticed a black line in the middle of the screen. He immediately turned back and wanted to re-watch it, but the phone suddenly froze, and a translucent small circle turned on the originally stable interface, and then Team Li's call came in.

Jian Shutong picked it up, thinking that Team Li had made some new discoveries from the surveillance, and wanted him to go and see it first, so he asked, "Team Li, the results are out?" ”

"Leave that one alone." Officer Li said to Jian Shutong in a solemn tone, "There is another headless corpse, you go directly to the scene, and we will meet there." ”

The crime occurred in an artificial river in the newly built community of the development zone, fortunately, the artificial river is being newly repaired guardrails, making it dusty, snow mixed with ash into mud, and the occupancy rate in the community is not high. The position of the corpse in the middle of the riverbed is strangely that there are not even a single superfluous footprints left on such ground. A question arose in everyone's minds as to how the body had ended up there. With the strength of a human arm, it is impossible to stand on the shore and throw the corpse directly into that position.

Team Li took people down to inspect the scene, Jian Shutong greeted Team Li from afar, and then took out the small compass he carried with him, planning to walk around the scene of the crime now, just in case to see if there would be any clues around. There are two green pointers on his compass, and where the green pointers stop and merge into one, it means that there are traces of using special abilities.

Of course, this thing is also the crystallization of the wisdom of the technical team.

He had just walked along the river to the first intersection, only to see the green pointer that had just turned in a circle, and stopped tremblingly and merged together and pointed straight ahead, Jian Shutong immediately raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance.

Lu Ziyuan was walking briskly to this side, just passing by the dim street lamp, a camel-colored windbreaker on his body was blown backwards by the evening breeze, wearing a thin shirt and thin pants, and the cashmere scarf around his neck looked warmer all over his body, which could slightly block the cold wind of early spring in the north. The beauty of a well-dressed outfit was ruined by him carrying a black backpack in one hand.

Lu Ziyuan is not very capable, this Jian Shutong has already tried this, and the pointing of the compass will not be wrong, so the big problem is the black backpack he is carrying.

This is the scene of the murder, Lu Ziyuan appeared here again, and Jian Shutong's suspicions suddenly rose.

"What a coincidence, we met again. Professor Lu is so interested in coming out in the middle of the night to relax? Jian Shutong casually put away the compass in his hand, took the initiative to greet him in a friendly manner, and naturally stood in front of Lu Ziyuan to block his way.

"It's a fate to meet here, but I'm going to deliver something."

"The bag looks quite heavy, I'll help you carry it and send you all the way, it's not safe to watch three watches in the middle of the night." Jian Tong said that his hand naturally stretched out to Lu Ziyuan's handbag, and asked with a smile, "Which direction is Professor Lu going?" ”

Before Jian Shutong's hand could touch the package, he was blocked by a cold hand. For a moment, he thought that he had pushed a robotic hand, and the force was so great that even if he tried harder, it would be difficult to advance by half a point.

He couldn't help but stare at Lu Ziyuan, but he didn't expect Lu Ziyuan to look elegant, but his strength was not small. But what exactly is in the bag, it is so taboo for him to move.

"No, what's in this bag that can't be seen?" Jian Shutong took a step back, didn't grab with Lu Ziyuan, and said with a clear look, "Or is Professor Lu ready to be a behind-the-scenes hero and escort others?" ”

When Jian Shutong met with Team Li, he was told about Lu Ziyuan's movements. The information given by Team Li was much clearer than Wang Mo's. In the past month, Lu Ziyuan has been very regular, going to the café opposite the office building every Saturday morning, and sitting in the middle of the window every time. The commercial street is not very wide, and you can clearly see the movement of the office building at that location.

"Things aren't what you think."

"Twice," Jian Shutong stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Lu Ziyuan, "The murder scene is inseparable from your figure, do you want to give an explanation?" ”

It can be seen that there is no explanation, and Jian Shutong is bound to do it. Although Lu Ziyuan was not afraid, he didn't want to.

"You don't have to doubt me, I met Team Li when I came back, and I just wanted to send some lighting tools over." Lu Ziyuan's hand carrying the bag tightened subconsciously, and then he remembered something, and asked suspiciously, "But you said twice, when was the last time?" ”

Jian Shutong looked at the confusion on his face and didn't look like a fake, but there was nothing about the lighting tools that didn't make people move. He crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly, "It's okay, I just wanted to ask why you came here yesterday morning." ”

"It's not deliberate, it's just that I just met Assistant Wang." Lu Ziyuan explained with a smile, "I go to the coffee shop every Saturday for a while, and the coffee in this shop really suits my taste. ”

The information of the coffee shop corresponds to what Team Li said, and Jian Shutong has nothing to say even if he is suspicious.

Lu Ziyuan naturally stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go to the scene first." ”

Jian Shutong crossed his arms and turned to go first, not mentioning anything to help him carry his things.

This artificial river was not yet open to water at this time, and the sides of the river were half marble bricks and half colored gravel blocks embedded for beauty and anti-fixation. The slope of the revetment on both sides is very high, and there are no stairs, and from the shore to the bottom of the river, there is a long ladder that is still unstable and stuck in the soil with the slope for people to pass up and down.

Jian Shutong held on to the railing with both hands and stretched out his feet to test the ladder, although it was a little slippery, but he could accept that after all, the ladder was very close to the dirt slope, and he planned to slide down like this.

In the next second, a beam of light shone under his feet. The sudden brightness stimulated him to squint slowly.

"I'll help you shine the light, go down and be careful." Lu Ziyuan stood in front of him, holding a flashlight in one hand and shining it under his feet, and holding the first step of the ladder tightly with the other.

"Thank you."

Jian Shutong was fast, but the round spot of light could always be hit just right in advance, on the next two sections where he was about to land. After he landed smoothly, he found that Lu Ziyuan had put away his flashlight and was squirming on the shore not knowing what to do.

"It's just so time you're back, let's take a look." Team Li beckoned Jian Shutong over from a distance, waving them to wait for a while before carrying the corpse.

If Jian Shutong could see the evidence related to the scene from the memory of the deceased, they would have extracted it at the scene as soon as possible, so as not to conduct a second search, which would not only delay the time, but also be more likely to be wrong and missed.

Jian Shutong answered, and just walked to Team Li's side, a headlight suddenly lit up behind him, and the central brightness completely covered nearly half of the river, extending 20 meters left and right, illuminating a large fan-shaped area like daytime. The appearance of words of instant thanks, the appearance of tongues and tongues, originally could only rely on the light source of the headlights and flashlights to check little by little, with such brightness, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.

As I walked back and forth, the smell of blood mixed with the mud that had been trampled on repeatedly was on my face. Jian Shutong squatted down and took a closer look at the headless corpse, which was lying on the ground in a large shape, as if it had been taken by someone in his sleep without resistance.

The deceased male, the fracture was smooth and without excessive adhesion, and was cut off with a knife. Looking at such a wound, it is almost conceivable that the murderer was extremely calm when he attacked, and he was ruthless and ruthless, leaving no torture or any hope. Moreover, the corpse of the deceased will not die for too long, there are still not too many traces around, there is no bloodstain and no footprints, everything seems to happen out of thin air.

Officer Li squatted next to Jian Shutong and pointed to the wound, "It may be the same murderer." ”

It is difficult for ordinary people to cut off their necks with one knife, unless they are people with amazing strength or people who are familiar with the gap in the cervical spine. Of course, the latter is more likely.

"Like the previous one, it has been treated with antioxidants by the murderer." Jian Shutong also had this idea. He also minded the wound, the scarlet had no signs of oxidation at all.

But they also discovered it early, otherwise it would definitely not be the current color.

It's just that it's hard to make a conclusion now, after all, the wound of the last deceased was covered by a plastic bag, but now the wound is completely exposed. The body is also different from the previous one's neat and decent clothes, this time the deceased is wearing washed and faded jeans and shirts, the sides of his fingers are mostly barbs, and his nails are covered with dirt, and it seems that his life was not very good. The deceased lay on the ground in large characters, as if he had been robbed of his life in his sleep without resistance.

If the two cases were committed by the same murderer, and judging from the place where he threw the body, there was no fear of the body being exposed, then the antioxidant treatment and the severed head must hide the secrets that would expose the murderer.

"I'll see if I can find some different clues in him."

Jian Shutong squatted down, put his fingers on the skin of the deceased, closed his eyes, and began to review the life of the person under him.

What he didn't notice was that the shadow of the corpse illuminated by the bright light was silently split in two, and the extra shadow was slowly moving towards him.

The shadow crept along the light to the shadow of the scholar Jian, and then divided into small wisps and climbed up along the back of the scholar Jian.

Lu Ziyuan stood on the shore and watched this incredible thing happen, and suddenly shouted, "Jian Shutong, be careful behind you." ”
