Good and evil, good and evil, angels and demons, anyone who embarks on the path of sin can only live in a dark corner, like a rat in a sewer, who can only hide his head and tail, and cannot live in fear.

Xu Lang came to the box where the person had sit, Xu Lang pushed open the door and looked, and suddenly there was a smell mixed with smoke, sweat, stinky feet, and a smell of hormones.

The so-called box, the room is very small, even a little cramped, the furnishings inside are very simple, a one-piece computer desk, the computer desk is placed on the computer desk with two computer monitors and mouse and keyboard, opposite the computer desk is a one-piece two-person sofa, in the box there is also a garbage can, the trash can is full of all kinds of snack instant noodle packaging bags, and a ball of toilet paper.

Xu Lang let go of the hand covering his nose, took out two shoe covers from his pocket and put them on the feet of the flip-flops, and then took out gloves and put them on, and then walked into the box, and the other three policemen also wanted to follow in, Xu Lang stopped, turned around, lowered his head, looked at their feet in leather shoes, and frowned.

When the three of them saw Xu Lang blocking the door of the box, they immediately stopped, first looked at Xu Lang in confusion, and then followed Xu Lang's line of sight to see their feet, and immediately understood.

Xu Lang turned around and walked into the box, the lights in the box were very dim, Xu Lang first glanced at the shiny keyboard and mouse, and then gently flicked the mouse with his fingers, and the monitor immediately lit up.

Xu Lang raised his head and saw that there was nothing on the interface of the computer monitor except for the necessary software installed in the Internet café, and in the bottom row of the interface, Xu Lang saw a shrunken document, Xu Lang picked up the mouse, clicked on the document, and a paragraph appeared in the document.

"Xu Lang, the game has officially begun!!"

Xu Lang looked at this passage that filled the entire computer screen, Xu Lang narrowed his eyes, this was the murderer's naked provocation to Xu Lang, and the murderer already knew that Xu Lang was involved in this case, and was able to find it quickly, Xu Lang's face did not change much.

Xu Lang straightened his waist, habitually touched his chin, and fell into deep thought.

From this passage, the following points can be deduced.

First, the murderer was well aware of the actions of the 610 Crime Unit, which means that the murderer must have known people in the police force, or knew about the police's every move through other means.

Second, since the murderer left a paragraph for Xu Lang on the computer, it means that the murderer knows Xu Lang and may be the criminal Xu Lang has dealt with before.

Third, the murderer is a very confident, even conceited person, he killed six people in a row, just to play a game with Xu Lang, if this is the case, then this person is definitely not simple.

With these inferences, Xu Lang exited the box, took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Lei's mobile phone.

After the phone was connected, Xu Lang said directly: "Bring your tools and rush to the Star Internet Café on Rising Sun Road immediately." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang hung up the phone, then dialed Lu Xing's mobile phone again, and asked, "How is the poster checking?" ”

"The other party has been online for a very short time, and he went offline after posting, and I only tracked the location of his post this time."

After listening to Lu Xing's words, Xu Lang pondered for a moment and said: "Find a way to retrieve the surveillance video from the Xingxing Internet Cafe to the location of the crime, as long as it is the person who appears in these two places, I don't care what method you use, you must find him for me, do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

After Xu Lang hung up the phone, he dialed Zhao Hua's mobile phone again and asked where Zhao Hua was, Zhao Hua told Xu Lang that he was investigating the newlyweds who attended Qi Lan's wedding at night on Changqi Road.

After listening to this, Xu Lang said: "Be sure to ask when Qi Lan left the groom's house at night, and who she left with." ”

"Got it, Brother Lang."

After Xu Lang did this, he found Hongmao and said to Hongmao: "We have to move the two computers, do you have any opinions?" ”

The red fur immediately shook his head like a rattle, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Move away, you can move away, if you want, you can move all the computers here." ”

Xu Lang looked Hongmao up and down, suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, patted Hongmao's shoulder, and said, "Who are you messing with?" ”

Hongmao was frightened by Xu Lang's slap, and instinctively wanted to hide, but when he saw Xu Lang's smiling face, he immediately stopped his posture of wanting to hide, looked at Xu Lang, and smiled more and more flatteringly.

"Brother Lang, I'm with..."

"Brother Lang, what's wrong?"

Just when Hongmao just wanted to speak, Li Lei took the toolbox and took a few people to the Internet café and interrupted Hongmao's words.

Seeing Li Lei coming, Xu Lang turned around, pointed to the box not far away, and said to Li Lei: "You go and check the two computers over there, check them, collect fingerprints, human hair, etc." ”

Li Lei glanced in the direction pointed by Xu Lang, nodded hurriedly, and walked over directly with the toolbox.

Looking at Li Lei's back in the past, Xu Lang suddenly said: "After the investigation is over, take these two computers back and give them to Lu Xing to see." ”

"Okay, Brother Lang."

Li Lei was wearing gloves, and when he heard this, he agreed.

Xu Lang walked straight to the bar, bent down and pulled out the hard disk containing the surveillance video of the Internet café, Xu Lang put the hard drive in his hand, and then said to the three policemen: "I'll leave it to you here." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang took the hard drive and left the Internet café.

This time, Xu Lang drove himself and came to the scene of the crime again, the body had been taken down and sent to the morgue of the Public Security Bureau, and the belongings left by the deceased at the scene were also put into the evidence bag after being photographed, and were sent back to the police station with the body.

Wu Yong, who had been busy here, saw Xu Lang coming, so he came over and asked, "How are you over there?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head, did not speak, and then glanced at the unpleasant smell of the toilet again, turned around and left here, leaving Wu Yong in confusion.

Xu Lang drove back to the Public Security Bureau, the car was parked in the courtyard of the police station, Xu Lang sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and wondered what went wrong in tonight's action.

Xu Lang smoked while recalling the information of the deceased Qi Lan, Qi Lan, female, forty-eight years old, waiter in a three-star hotel, she has been working in this hotel for nearly ten years, although the working hours are quite long, but because she likes to gossip, the reason for gossiping behind her back, has not been promoted, she has a lot of guests in contact with in the hotel every day, and people who can afford to live in a three-star hotel are not ordinary people, although the three-star hotel can not be compared with a five-star hotel, but it should not be underestimated.

Generally, people who can live in hotels have status, and they will not riot and kill people because of a word or two from Qi Lan, a waiter, first, there is no need for this, and second, it is not worth it.

Qi Lan's family is on Fenghua Road, there is a husband who is a chef, Qi Lan's husband is fifty years old this year, they also have a son, who is now in his third year of college, and now that school has been closed, he should be at home now.

Qi Lan lives on Fenghua Road, yesterday was July 10th, she went to attend a friend's wedding, this friend lives in Changqi Road, at the beginning, Xu Lang deduced that the murderer's next murder location was on Fenghua Road according to the five murders of the past, and later learned that Qi Lan went to Changqi Road, Xu Lang thought that the murderer was still committing crimes on Changqi Road, or on Qi Lan's way home, committing crimes on Fenghua Road, what he never expected was that the murderer would take Qi Lan to Rising Sun Road and commit crimes there.

Sunrise Road is located on a road between Fangxi Road and Changyang Road, and if you put the place where the crime occurred on the map, it happens to be connected in a straight line with the location of the fifth homicide, Baima Road.

"Ahh

Just when Xu Lang was thinking about it, the cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, burning Xu Lang's fingers, Xu Lang was burned, and the cigarette butt also fell off, Xu Lang hurriedly looked around, and finally saw the extinguished cigarette butt on the ground outside the car window, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lang, who was still a little sleepy, sobered up in an instant after being burned by a cigarette butt, so Xu Lang pushed the car door, got out of the car, closed the car door, stood next to the car and stretched a big lazy waist, and then stepped into the police station.

It's more than five o'clock in the morning, it's the turn of day and night, when yin and yang meet, the sky outside is exceptionally dark, and the inside of the police station is brightly lit, everyone is very tired, blood-red eyes, hurried footsteps, coughing one after another, in addition to the rustle caused by flipping through the information, there is also a roar that erupts when the phone is connected, and a yawn that is difficult to hide.

Xu Lang walked past everyone and came to the office area, where he saw Ning Yanran sitting at the desk, looking down and flipping through the information.

Xu Lang walked over, sat on the desk, and glanced at the information that Ning Yanran was reading, it was the information of the deceased Qi Lan, Xu Lang only glanced at it, and did not look at it again.

Xu Lang arrived, Ning Yanran naturally saw it, put down the information in her hand, raised her head to look at Xu Lang, and asked, "I heard Li Lei say that the murderer left you a message on the computer of the Internet café?" ”

Xu Lang lit another cigarette, took a puff, and when he used his hand to pick up the cigarette, there was a tingling sensation between the index finger and the middle finger of his left hand, Xu Lang looked down and found that there was a blister burning between the two fingers, so he had to change his hand to pick the cigarette, and then nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The murderer knows you?" Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang and asked.

"I don't know."

"How did the murderer bring the deceased from Changqi Road to Rising Sun Road?"

"I don't know."

"What does it mean that the deceased left you a message? Do you want to challenge you? ”

"I don't know."

"You don't know anything, but what do you know?"

Ning Yanran finally couldn't help it, stood up, snatched the cigarette from Xu Lang's mouth, and shouted.

Ning Yanran's voice was not small, everyone looked at the two people sitting and standing, and after watching for a few seconds, they all lowered their heads and continued to work.

Xu Lang glanced at Ning Yanran and said, "I'm tired, I'll go find a place to sleep, and call me after the results of the investigation come out." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ning Yanran to say anything, Xu Lang jumped off the table, walked straight out of the office area, went to the basement, and came to the door of the morgue.

Xu Lang stood at the door of the morgue, paused for a long time before taking a deep breath, then pushed open the door of the morgue and walked into the morgue.

The temperature in the morgue is always cold, even on a hot summer day.

Ye Xuefei was wearing a white coat, standing in front of the dissecting table, looking at the corpse on the dissecting table, as if she was observing something.

The sound of Xu Lang pushing the door and closing the door interrupted Ye Xuefei's thoughts, Ye Xuefei turned her head to look at the door, and found that it was Xu Lang, so she asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Lang said with a bitter face: "There's an idiot outside, I don't want to quarrel with her, so I'll come to you to hide and be quiet." ”

"What are you looking at?"

Without Xu Lang's explanation, Ye Xuefei knew who the idiot in Xu Lang's mouth was referring to, and it was definitely not Wu Yong who could make Xu Lang bear it, and no one else dared to quarrel with Xu Lang, except for Ning Yanran, there was no one else.

In addition to Ning Yanran's experience and experience in handling cases, she is not as good as some old criminal policemen, and she is afraid of seeing corpses, Ning Yanran is still very good in other aspects, such as the last robbery case committed by Qiu Liang, Ning Yanran was able to quickly draw the appearance of the suspect according to the description of the victim, which was basically similar to what she saw with her own eyes, which is very remarkable.

"The director only gave ten days to solve the case, and now half of it has passed, no clues to any suspects have been found, and now there is another murder, everyone's hearts are under a lot of pressure, you have to understand her a little, besides, she is a woman after all." Ye Xuefei comforted on the side.

Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said: "There are so many people in the serious crime team, and she is not the only one who has pressure, everyone has pressure, if everyone is like her, and they don't think about how to solve the problem when they encounter it, but they will be angry at whoever they catch, then do you want to solve the case?" ”

"Actually..."

"Okay, don't say it, I know in my heart, if I didn't understand her, I wouldn't have come to you to take refuge, tell me, what were you looking at just now?"

Xu Lang interrupted Ye Xuefei's next words and walked to the dissecting table to look at the corpse.

When Ye Xuefei heard Xu Lang say this, she knew Xu Lang's temper, so she didn't say anything, but walked to Xu Lang's side, pointed to the ankle of the deceased Qi Lan, and said, "Look here." ”

"What?"

Xu Lang looked at the place pointed by Ye Xuefei, there were two butterfly-shaped tattoos on the ankle of the deceased, but it looked a little awkward, Xu Lang just wanted to reach out and touch it, but was slapped on the back of his hand by Ye Xuefei.

Xu Lang looked at Ye Xuefei puzzled.

Ye Xuefei glanced at Xu Lang, then took out a pair of gloves from the tool table on the side and handed them to Xu Lang, and said angrily: "I've been a policeman for so long, and I don't know how to wear gloves when touching the body of the deceased?" ”

Xu Lang habitually touched his nose, then took the gloves and began to put them on, when Xu Lang was wearing the gloves on his left hand, Ye Xuefei saw a big blister bulging between Xu Lang's left index finger and middle finger, so she asked with concern: "How did you get it?" ”

After Xu Lang put on his gloves, he said indifferently: "It's okay." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang went to touch the tattoo on the deceased's ankle, and under the mold, Xu Lang found that the tattoo was not a real tattoo, but a fake, it was pasted, and the color faded with a pinch of his fingers.

Xu Lang straightened his waist, looked at the paint on the gloves, and said, "Fake? ”

Ye Xuefei nodded and said, "That's right, it's fake." ”

Xu Lang frowned again, looked at the other refrigerated cabinets where the corpses were parked, and asked, "What about the other corpses..."

"The tattoos on the ankles of the other five bodies were real." Ye Xuefei said.

Xu Lang frowned again.

"Can you dissect the corpse now?" Xu Lang pondered for a moment and asked.

Ye Xuefei shook her head and said, "Without the signature of our relatives, we can't sign it for the time being, and the autopsy will not be done until tomorrow when the family of the deceased comes." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded.

Since it is not possible to dissect the corpse now, many clues left on the deceased are not known for the time being, and there is no need to stay in the mortuary.

Ye Xuefei looked at Xu Lang's bloodshot eyes, and said distressedly: "You go to my office to rest, and you are not in a hurry to solve the case at this time." ”

Xu Lang thought about it and thought it was this reason, so he left the morgue with Ye Xuefei and came to Ye Xuefei's office.

Ye Xuefei's office is very simple, with a desk, a computer, an office chair, and two bookshelves, all neatly filled with file bags, and a sofa in the office.

After entering the office, Ye Xuefei went to get the medicine box, ready to help Xu Lang deal with the blisters on his hands.

After Xu Lang walked in, he went directly to the sofa and closed his eyes and lay down, and after a while, he made a slight snoring sound.

When Ye Xuefei came back with the medicine box, she found that Xu Lang had fallen asleep, and the gloves on her hands had not been removed, Ye Xuefei put the medicine box on the table beside her, tiptoed to Xu Lang's side, squatted down, and gently helped Xu Lang take off the gloves on her hands, then got up and took the medicine box, helped to break the blister on Xu Lang's left hand, and after some processing, took out a band-aid to help Xu Lang stick it.

After doing all this, Ye Xuefei took off the pair of seriously damaged flip-flops on Xu Lang's feet, took a white coat and covered Xu Lang's body, and then picked up the medicine box and put it away, returned to the desk and sat down, and then began to look at the previous autopsy photos.

When Ye Xuefei was looking at the photos, she also yawned from time to time, and whenever this time, Ye Xuefei would look at Xu Lang lying on the sofa.

No matter how sloppy Xu Lang is outside, he is hanging, but when he sleeps, Xu Lang is always very quiet and can maintain a posture for a night, and when Xu Lang sleeps, he has a habitual action, that is, curled up, like a child.

Ye Xuefei looked at Xu Lang's lovely sleeping position, her eyes flashed with a maternal light, but after looking at it for a while, Ye Xuefei seemed to think about something unhappy in the past, Ye Xuefei's eyes were a little dim, and her eyes were very complicated when she looked at Xu Lang, and finally, Ye Xuefei withdrew her gaze and looked at a scalpel placed not far from the desk, her eyes gradually drifted, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

When Xu Lang woke up again, he felt sore, he sat up from the sofa suddenly, and then quickly looked around, and found that Ye Xuefei was no longer in the office, and should have gone to the morgue.

Xu Lang found the flip-flops, put them on, stood up, moved his body, twisted his neck, and suddenly there was a crackling sound like fried soybeans in his body, after doing all this, Xu Lang took out his mobile phone and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and Xu Lang had only slept for less than three hours in total.

Xu Lang left Ye Xuefei's office, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and then Xu Lang came to the office area, and found that many people in the office area were lying on the table or lying on the chair and fell asleep.

Only a few people in the office area were still insisting on working, and Xu Lang didn't say anything when he saw this scene.

Lu Xing was still sitting in front of the computer watching surveillance video, and there were two bottles of eye drops and two bottles of energy drinks on the table.

Wu Yong did not rest, but sat at the desk, with a cigarette in his mouth, flipping through the information in his hand, the ashtray in front of him was already filled with dense cigarette butts, it seems that during this time, Wu Yong smoked a lot, and Ning Yanran did not know where to go.

After Wu Yong saw Xu Lang, he picked up the cigarette case on the table and threw it to Xu Lang.

After Xu Lang took it, he opened it and saw that there was only one left inside, Xu Lang didn't take a cigarette, walked to Wu Yong with a cigarette case, gently put the cigarette box down, and then took out the cigarette in his pocket, took out one and lit it, and then put the cigarette case on the table.

At first, neither of them spoke, just smoked in silence, and after smoking a cigarette, Wu Yong stuck the cigarette butt in the mountain of ashtrays, looked at Xu Lang and asked, "I heard that the murderer has challenged you?" ”

Xu Lang also stuck the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then nodded.

"He knows you? Or do you know him? Wu Yong asked again.

Xu Lang shook his head again and said: "I don't know, in the cases I handled, it seems that no murderer has been released, and it is impossible for ordinary murderers to be released, even if they are not sentenced to death, at least they will be sentenced to death with a suspended sentence or life imprisonment." ”

Wu Yong also nodded when he heard this, looked at Xu Lang, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to check the past information?" ”

Xu Lang sat on the desk with his hands on his chest, touched his chin, and did not speak.

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't speak, Wu Yong took out the last cigarette in the cigarette case and lit it, and after taking a puff, he looked at Xu Lang and said, "Today is the fifth day, half of the time has passed, and it will be very troublesome if you don't solve the case quickly." ”

Xu Lang nodded and did not speak.

Wu Yong is right, half of the ten-day deadline for solving the case given by Lu Ye has passed, and according to the previous six homicides, the time when the murderer committed the crime is inferred, the murderer's next crime time is estimated to be eight days later, that is, on July 19th, Xu Lang does not want to pin his hopes on catching the murderer after killing him again, but to catch him before the murderer commits the next crime, that is to say, Xu Lang They still have eight days, no, it should be seven days, and the murderer must be caught within seven days, Otherwise, there would be another innocent person who was brutally killed by the murderer, thinking of this, Xu Lang sighed.

"Hey"
