High-IQ crime is a race of intelligence, a race against time, and a race against life and death.

When Xu Lang drove to Xuri Road, the two public toilets near Xuri Road had already been cordoned off by police from the local police station.

After Xu Lang got out of the car, after some inquiry, he learned that in the women's toilet of the first public toilet, a female corpse was found, and the deceased was Qi Lan.

After Xu Lang entered the scene, he saw Qi Lan's body in the innermost compartment of the women's toilet, the deceased's body was half-sitting and half-hanging in the toilet, and a belt was put around the deceased's neck, and the fastening of the belt was hung on a coat hook on the toilet partition, and the style of the belt was a lady's belt, as for whether the belt was the deceased's own or left by the murderer, it still needs to be investigated.

The deceased's hands hung weakly at his sides, his mouth was wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his eyeballs were protruding outward, and he was obviously suffocated to death.

Through the wide open mouth of the deceased, it can be seen that the deceased's tongue was also cut off, and the deceased's mouth was full of blood, but the amount was very small, and it should have been cut off after death.

On the tiled wall opposite the deceased's body, the English character written in blood appeared again.

The belongings of the deceased were left at the scene, a black handbag, a pack of toilet paper, a mobile phone, and beyond that, nothing more was found.

Xu Lang took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and took a cursory look at the deceased's handbag, and saw a lot of women's products, cosmetics, small mirrors, small combs, sanitary napkins, wallets, etc.

Xu Lang opened his wallet, and there was a small pile of cash bills in the wallet, it seemed that there should be about one or two thousand, and there was a bank card of a certain bank in the wallet, as well as a few membership cards, two supermarket shopping cards, and an ID card, and took out the ID card to see, it was Qi Lan's ID card, and the photo on the ID card was very similar to the deceased.

After Xu Lang finished reading these things, he walked out of the toilet cubicle, and Wu Yong had already arrived at the scene at this time.

Wu Yong's first words when he saw Xu Lang were: "Dead? Is the deceased Qi Lan? ”

Xu Lang took off his gloves, took out a cigarette and lit it, then nodded and said calmly, "Go see for yourself." ”

Wu Yong first glanced at Xu Lang, then walked quickly to the toilet cubicle, stood at the door of the cubicle and looked inside, then paused for a moment, walked out, came to Xu Lang's side, took the cigarette case that Xu Lang held in his hand, took out a cigarette from it, and returned the cigarette case to Xu Lang, Wu Yong said while smoking: "It seems that you are right." ”

Xu Lang was noncommittal, he suddenly remembered something, threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, walked quickly to the door of the toilet, and asked the police at the police station: "Is there anyone going to the Star Internet Cafe?" ”

One of the policemen looked at Xu Lang and said, "Someone has already gone." ”

"Find someone to take me there."

Xu Lang slapped the policeman on the shoulder, grinning at him, but the policeman did not get angry, but immediately found a young policeman and took Xu Lang to the Star Internet Café.

When Xu Lang came to the Star Internet Café according to the instructions of this young policeman, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning.

After Xu Lang got out of the car, he raised his head and took a look, this is a two-story building, the first floor is a cigarette hotel, the store has long been closed, there is a neon sign in the middle of the two floors, and it is the star Internet café on it, but one of the star words and the third bar word are no longer lit, and it looks more like a star network.

Xu Lang retracted his gaze and walked along the stairs to the second floor, as soon as Xu Lang walked into the stairwell, he smelled a bad smell, Xu Lang wrinkled his nose, Xu Lang did not make any stops, and continued to walk up.

There is no light in the stairwell, it is pitch black, Xu Lang just entered the corridor when he saw a monitoring probe, but the line of the monitoring probe has long been aged, the monitoring probe has been unable to work normally, at the corner of the first and second floors, I found that I also saw a lot of vomit, Xu Lang covered his nose and came to the second floor.

There is only one glass two-way door on the second floor, the glass door is open, and Xu Lang can hear the sound of the electric fan whirring and turning from inside the Internet café, as well as the crackling sound of tapping the keyboard, and the sound of cursing one after another.

Xu Lang walked into the Internet café and found that two policemen were standing at the front desk arguing with a young man with red hair about something, Xu Lang walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

When the three of them heard Xu Lang's voice, they stopped arguing at the same time and looked at Xu Lang, one of the policemen looked at Xu Lang and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Lang did not answer this question, but asked, "What about the surveillance video?" ”

The policeman wanted to say something, but he saw the young policeman who brought Xu Lang walk in, and after the young policeman came in, he stood obediently behind Xu Lang, and then looked at the two policemen wildly.

The policeman looked at the young policeman, then at Xu Lang, and continued to ask, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Lang frowned and said, "My name is Xu Lang, let me ask you what about the surveillance video?" ”

"Xu Lang? I've never heard of it. The policeman frowned and muttered to himself.

Immediately, he remembered who Xu Lang was, and immediately put away the arrogant look on his face, stood upright, and said, "I haven't got the video yet." ”

"Why didn't you get it?"

The policeman looked at Xu Lang's very ugly face, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, turned his head, glanced at the red hair, and said, "They don't give it." ”

Xu Lang's originally frowning brows furrowed even tighter, Xu Lang didn't pay attention to the policeman, but came to Hongmao, looked at him, and asked, "Where is the monitoring of the Internet café?" ”

The red-haired man glanced at Xu Lang, whistled, twisted his head to the side, and showed a disdainful expression on his face.

"Smack"

With a sound, the red-haired head, which was originally shaking his head, was slapped by Xu Lang on the counter, making a dull sound, and Xu Lang asked word by word: "Where is the monitoring?" ”

Although the red-haired head was pressed against the bar, his tone was very arrogant, his head turned sideways, he glared at Xu Lang viciously, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Ahh

As soon as Hongmao's words fell, Xu Lang grabbed the big earrings on Hongmao's ears and asked, "Do you know now?" ”

"It hurts, it hurts... You let go, you TMD let go... Labor and management are dying of pain... Holy..."

The red hair screamed and begged for mercy, but his mouth kept cursing and scolding.

"Bang"

Xu Lang's patience had been exhausted, he pulled the head of the red hair, came to the back of the bar, and saw two computers, one of which was the surveillance video of the Internet café, Xu Lang grabbed the head of the red hair and hit it on the bar hard, then let go of his hand, walked to the front of the computer, and began to check the monitoring.

The policeman who first asked Xu Lang who he was, after seeing Xu Lang come in, he was stunned, Xu Lang's name, who hasn't heard of it in S City, in the public security system, Xu Lang is the youngest police star, a police model, at least three months ago; In the eyes of ordinary people, especially those victims who have been handled by Xu Lang, Xu Lang is the current Bao Qingtian, an excellent policeman; In the eyes of those gangsters who are idle and don't do their jobs, Xu Lang is a policeman who is more like a gangster than them.

I heard before that when Xu Lang was handling the case, his methods were very simple and rude, but when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation.

Xu Lang ignored this, rewind the surveillance video two hours ago, and then sat on the chair where Hongmao was originally sitting and watched the surveillance video.

The Internet café, which was originally noisy, suddenly quieted down after Xu Lang came in, and many of the sounds of tapping on the keyboard stopped, and they all turned their heads and looked at the bar, there were a few shirtless young men with over-the-shoulder dragons tattooed on their bodies, downhill tigers, and kaleidoscopes, all of whom stood up in unison after seeing the red hair fall to the ground, but when they saw Xu Lang inadvertently raise his head and look at them with the stern eyes, they all sat back in place.

There are four monitoring probes on the computer, one at the door of the Internet café, one at the bar, and two in the lobby of the Internet café, but only two are still working on the surveillance video, one is the bar, and the other is the hall, but the monitoring probe in the hall that is still working can only shoot a small half of the current situation of the hall, as for the Internet café box, that is, in the small room separated by a small partition, there is no monitoring probe.

What Xu Lang is watching now is the surveillance video of the bar, Xu Lang puts his fingers on the greasy mouse, and keeps fast-forwarding.

When the time on the surveillance video came to 1:35, a person wearing sunglasses, a black mask, and a hooded sweatshirt came to the front desk, took out a hundred yuan, and didn't know what to say to the red hair, and then the red hair took out an ID card, swiped it on the machine, and then wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to the person, who took the note, left the bar, and went to a box that the surveillance could not photograph.

Xu Lang pressed the pause button, turned his head to look at the red hair lying on the ground pretending to be dead, kicked him, and said, "Okay, don't pretend, get up, look at this." ”

After the red hair was kicked, he was still lying motionless on the ground, without any reaction at all, Xu Lang glanced at the red hair, stood up from the chair, and asked the two policemen who were standing: "Did you bring an electric baton?" ”

The three policemen glanced at each other and looked at each other, and the young policeman who brought Xu Lang to the Internet café said, "Bring it." ”

"Give it to me."

When the policeman heard this, he was about to get the electric baton on his body, and at this moment, the red hair, who had been lying on the ground and standing up, immediately got up from the ground at a lightning speed, came to Xu Lang, and said with a flattering face: "This police officer, what do you want to ask, as long as I know, I will definitely say." ”

Xu Lang glanced at the red hair, then pointed to the person on the computer screen and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

The red fur only glanced at it, and then said, "He..."

Xu Lang looked at the red hair expectantly and waited for the following.

"I don't know."

Xu Lang frowned when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to the young policeman, who immediately handed the electric baton in his hand to Xu Lang, Xu Lang took the electric baton, opened the door, and suddenly there was a crackling sound, and the people who watched it were only covered in cold sweat.

"Big brother, no, brother policeman, no, uncle policeman, let me think about it..."

Hongmao looked at Xu Lang holding the electric baton with a gloomy face, and the crackling sound of the electric baton, Hongmao swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly laughed at Xu Lang flatteringly.

Xu Lang looked at the red hair expressionlessly.

Redfur closed his eyes and thought about it, and said, "I remember." ”

Xu Lang raised his chin at Hongmao and motioned for him to continue, and Hongmao immediately said what he knew.

About half past one in the morning, Hongmao was playing a game in front of the computer at the bar, and suddenly a person walked in, this person first looked around the Internet café, and then came to the bar, saying that he wanted to open a machine.

Hongmao was playing a game at the time, and the head also said: "Members are three dollars an hour, not three dollars an hour for members, and six yuan for night." ”

The man didn't say anything, took out a hundred yuan, put it in front of Hongmao, and said, "Drive me a machine, and the rest is yours." ”

The red hair knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, the person meant to let him take his ID card to open a machine for that person, the Internet café where the red hair was originally a black Internet café, and it usually provided Internet access opportunities for some underage student parties, and there was a stack of ID cards in the bar drawer.

After taking the money, Hongmao took out an ID card from the drawer, rushed six yuan, just enough money for the night, and then wrote down the ID number and computer password for the person, and continued to play the game.

After listening to this, Xu Lang asked, "Is that person a man or a woman?" What does it look like? ”

Hongmao frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It should be a man, or it may be a woman." ”

"You can't tell the difference between a man and a woman?" One of the three policemen slapped the table and shouted.

The red hair glanced at the policeman lightly, and said disdainfully: "That guy is wearing sunglasses and a mask, and a sweatshirt and hat on his head, how do I know if it's a man or a woman?" ”

"Then you should know when you hear the voice, right?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

"Voice...," the red fur thought for a moment, and said, "That person's voice is very central, and it sounds like a man. ”

"Male?"

Xu Lang frowned when he heard this.

"Oh, by the way, when I handed him the note, I noticed that this man's hands were very slender and looked like women's hands."

Just as Xu Lang was deep in thought, the red hair suddenly added to the side.

"Where was he sitting?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

"Well, just sit there."

After the red hair finished speaking, he stretched out a hand and pointed to the location of a box.

Xu Lang stood up, walked out of the bar, and walked over there.
