After the police arrived at the scene, they found that these homicides had several common features.

First, most of the drivers were killed in the car, there was no sign of a struggle in the car, and the deceased was killed unsuspectingly.

Second, the fatal injuries of the deceased were all in the throat area, and the throat was cut with a knife, resulting in the deceased's respiratory organs being cut, hypoxic asphyxia plus excessive blood loss, and shock suffocation.

Third, none of the victims' belongings were lost, and the victims' ID cards, bank cards, driver's books, and so on were not lost.

Fourth, all the places where the victims were found were in the remote suburbs or countryside of S City, and there were no surveillance probes in these places, and no witnesses were found at the scene except for the informant.

Fifth, all the victims were killed at the time of their murder on a night when it was raining heavily.

On July 10th, there was a light rain in the sky, Ning Yanran and they came to work at the Public Security Bureau early, in the office, everyone's faces were very solemn, because, in the early hours of this morning, they received another report, at the junction of Caihua Road and Chaoyang Road, and found the body of a taxi driver, members of the first criminal investigation team immediately rushed to the scene after receiving the police call, for investigation.

The results of the investigation are still the same as before, the taxi driver was killed, the body was lying on the steering wheel, there was no trace of a fight in the car, and the property was not lost, however, this time it was different from the past, in the past, the taxi driver was killed the day after the death, their bodies and vehicles were found by people who got up early, this time it was about 30 minutes after the deceased was killed and someone called the police.

The policeman is located at the junction of Caihua Road and Chaoyang Road The owner of a commissary called the police, the boss's surname is Liu, Boss Liu is over 50 years old this year, he has been running his own commissary in this place, in fact, Boss Liu's family is not short of money, is a second generation of demolition, after the previous house was demolished, he got a very generous compensation, bought three suites in the urban area, in addition to the family lives in a house, the remaining two houses, he has rented out, every year rent alone is a considerable income, And Boss Liu used to open a commissary here, and after the house in his hometown was demolished, everyone else took the compensation money to do business, but Boss Liu still opened a commissary here.

Boss Liu is usually alone in the commissary, his wife works in a factory, and his two children, one in high school and the other in college, are usually in school, and the children are already sensible, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

When people reach middle age, the quality of sleep is relatively poor, although Boss Liu's commissary is not comparable with supermarkets and shops in the city, however, the location he chose is better, just located at the junction of the city and the suburbs, on weekdays, there are many people who come to him to buy things, plus the rent here is cheap, a year, Boss Liu can also earn a lot of money.

At three o'clock in the morning on July 10th, Boss Liu, who had been sleeping in the commissary, was woken up by a piercing whistle, there was no business on a rainy day, Boss Liu closed the door early, watched TV for a while, and rested early, when Boss Liu was woken up by the sound of the car horn in his sleep, Boss Liu immediately got out of bed in his clothes, opened the door of the store, picked up a flashlight and stood at the door to look outside.

At first, Boss Liu thought that there was a driver who ran the truck at night, came here to buy something to eat, buy cigarettes and smoke, usually, the truck driver who often runs on this road often comes here to buy some instant noodles and other snacks to eat, Boss Liu is also used to it, but when he opened the door, he stood at the door, took a flashlight, looked outside, looked for a long time, did not see a figure, only saw a lonely car parked on the side of the road, the car's lights were not turned on, but the interior lights in the car were turned on.

Boss Liu borrowed the light of the flashlight and the faint light in the car to see a figure lying on the steering wheel, Boss Liu saw that the other party did not get out of the car, thinking that the other party might be tired of driving at night and sleeping in the car, he was going to go back to sleep, but, after thinking about it, the horn of the car kept calling, and he could hear it from so far away, how could the people in the car not hear it? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he opened an umbrella and took a flashlight to the car.

Boss Liu took a closer look and found that this was not a private car, but a taxi, and there was a person sitting in the driver's seat, this person was lying on the steering wheel with the back of his head facing him, and the car did not turn off, no wonder the car kept calling.

"Knock Knock"

Boss Liu stretched out a hand and knocked on the glass, but the other party still didn't react at all.

"Knock Knock"

Boss Liu knocked again, and found that the other party still didn't respond at all, Boss Liu was a little impatient, he knocked on the car window with more strength, and then shouted loudly: "Hey, I said this big brother, don't press the horn, it's very noisy." ”

Boss Liu's voice was already loud, and when he shouted like this, the voice was even louder, but the people in the car still didn't react, and Boss Liu also noticed something was wrong at this time, so he tried to pull the driver's door, but what he didn't expect was that the driver's door opened as soon as he pulled it, and when the driver's door was opened, Boss Liu first smelled a stimulating smell of blood, and then, he put the flashlight on the car, and the scene he saw almost didn't scare him to death.

The blood stained on the driver's seat, a large pool of blood has accumulated under the seat, and there is blood on the steering wheel like water droplets, dripping down drop by drop, blood dripping on the deceased's legs, and then dripping down the pants that have been soaked with blood under the car seat, Boss Liu was frightened by this scene, he took a long time before he recovered from the shock, he stretched out his trembling hand, to touch the pulse of the deceased, and found that the deceased's body had already become cold, so frightened that Boss Liu quickly retracted his hand, Then, he closed the car door, ran back to his store, grabbed the landline and dialed the police, and after explaining the address, he sat on the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes from the shelf, hurriedly opened the cigarette, took one out of it, and began to smoke in large gulps.

Boss Liu is already in his fifties, he has lived for most of his life, dead people, he has not seen it once or twice, in the past, someone in the nearby village died, they would come to them to come to something, and he often went to the funeral, he has seen a lot of dead people who died naturally, but the murder scene of being killed, he still saw it for the first time, the pungent and bloody smell of blood, until now, Boss Liu can't forget, especially when he saw that the blood was like a raindrop falling from the sky outside, drop by drop dripping down the steering wheel, No matter how you think about it, it feels terrifying.

When Ning Yanran received the attendance call, she had just fallen asleep not long before she was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and after listening to the situation, she immediately called to arrange for someone to leave for the scene of the crime.

When the police came to Boss Liu's commissary, they found that there were cigarette butts scattered on the ground in front of Boss Liu, Boss Liu sat on a chair in despair, his upper body was naked, a coat was draped over his shoulders, his lower body was wearing a pair of big pants, and a pair of slippers were on his feet. It's scary."

According to the stiffness of the body, the time of death of the deceased is definitely not more than half an hour from the time of reporting, that is to say, the time of death of the deceased is about half past two in the morning, no traces of a fight were found in the car, property documents, etc. were not lost, and the fatal wound of the deceased was still in the throat of the neck, which was exactly the same as the previous seven homicides.

After the scene investigation was completed, Ning Yanran asked people to take the body back to the second criminal investigation team along with the taxi, and the informant Boss Liu was also taken back to the public security bureau for questioning and investigation.

————

On the morning of July 10, all the members of the first criminal investigation team gathered in the conference room to conduct a case analysis and discussion meeting to analyze and discuss the newly discovered homicide case.

The sound of discussions, coughing, and the sound of water cups hitting the table rose one after another in the entire conference room, Ning Yanran sat in the first place, frowning and looking at the people below, her face was very ugly, in addition to the fact that she was called to the office by Lu Ye in the morning to give a stern lecture, but also because of the rampant degree of the murderer, this is a naked slap in the face, a slap in the face of the police, a slap in the face of the second criminal investigation team, and also a slap in her face Ning Yanran.

After Lu Ye reprimanded Ning Yanran, he directly gave Ning Yanran a death order, within fifteen days, if Ning Yanran could not lead the criminal investigation team to crack the case, then Ning Yanran would take off this police uniform and go home to sell sweet potatoes, and Ning Yanran had no resentment about Lu Ye's reprimand, she made a military order in Lu Ye's office at that time, if the case could not be solved within fifteen days, she would resign and quit.

"Knock Knock"

Ning Yanran looked around and tapped her hand on the table a few times.

"Knock Knock"

The scene, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to Ning Yanran, waiting for the following.

Ning Yanran looked at everyone and said slowly: "Let's talk about the latest situation, who will say it first?" ”

"I'll start with that." Zhao Hua, an investigator who has been in charge of the external investigation, said.

Ning Yanran nodded at Zhao Hua and motioned for him to continue.

"Last night, the murder case found at the junction of Caihua Road and Chaoyang Road, the victim is called Mao Anmin, eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, is a taxi driver of a taxi company in S City, divorced, has a son, raised by his ex-wife, Mao Anmin has been engaged in the taxi industry for five years, is an old driver."

After listening to Zhao Hua's report, Ning Yanran waited for a while, then looked at Zhao Hua and asked, "Gone?" ”

"It's gone."

"That's all?" Ning Yanran looked at Zhao Hua with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Zhao Hua scratched his head and said, "The time is too short, and the time we found the body was in the early hours of the morning, and the taxi company where Mao Anmin worked hadn't started work yet, I"

"Okay, what's the use of talking so much, who else has to report the situation." Ning Yanran directly interrupted Zhao Hua's explanation and looked at the others.

Ning Yanran's rare anger made everyone feel a sense of oppression, and they began to miss Xu Lang a little bit in those days, although Xu Lang was usually very stressed, and he scolded people at every turn, but whenever Xu Lang took over the case, he could quickly find a breakthrough point, so that everyone had something to do, and many cases would be solved in just a few days, when Xu Lang was still the captain of the second criminal investigation team, the first criminal investigation team was the department with the highest solving rate in the entire S City, this, Whether it is the criminal investigation team that has always been at odds with Xu Lang, or the various detachments under the criminal investigation team, they all have to admit this.

Since Xu Lang left the second criminal investigation team, the honor of the highest crime solving rate has been taken by Wu Yong's criminal investigation team, saying that Zhao Hua is not aggrieved in their hearts, it is self-deception, but what is the use of being aggrieved?

Ye Xuefei, who also participated in this relationship analysis meeting, saw that everyone else stopped talking, so she had to stand up and say: "In this way, I'll talk about the autopsy results first." ”

"Hurry up, you say."

Ning Yanran was going to get angry, but when she turned her head and found that it was Ye Xuefei, Ning Yanran's tone suddenly softened, Ye Xuefei is the chief forensic doctor of the Public Security Bureau, she only belongs to the forensic department, not under the jurisdiction of the first criminal investigation team and the second criminal investigation team, she is only responsible for cooperating with the investigation work of the two teams, even if something goes wrong with her, it is not something that Ning Yanran can order.

Ye Xuefei didn't care about the change in Ning Yanran's tone, she just picked up an autopsy report on the table and said, "This is Mao Anmin's autopsy report, the time of death of the deceased is"

"The time of death of the deceased was around half past two to three o'clock in the morning, the fatal wound of the deceased was in the throat, the murder weapon was a sharp dagger or a tool such as a watermelon knife, the cause of death was suffocation death caused by excessive blood loss, the deceased had no signs of fighting with the gangsters before his death, however, there were obvious strangulation marks and restraint wounds on the neck of the deceased, because no rope or anything like that was found on the neck, it was preliminarily inferred that the restraint of the deceased should be the murderer's arm, am I right? Ye Forensics. ”

Just when Ye Xuefei was about to say his autopsy report, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a pair of five-point pants on the lower half of his body, and an umbrella that was still dripping in his hand walked in. ”

"Brother Lang."

"Brother Lang"

"Xu Lang."

“”

After the door of the conference room was pushed open, everyone's eyes were on the door, and when they saw the faces of the people who came clearly, everyone who was still depressed suddenly had a hopeful look in their eyes, and they all stood up one by one and shouted in unison.

Ning Yanran also turned her head and looked at Xu Lang at the door, Xu Lang put away the umbrella while shaking the water stains on the umbrella, and Xu Lang still had two fritters under his armpits, to be honest, Xu Lang looked like a street unlearned, idle gangster, ruffian, but Xu Lang's arrival not only made Ning Yanran breathe a sigh of relief, but the conference room, which was originally tense and dignified, also became a little more relaxed, Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang, and then looked at everyone's reactions, and had mixed feelings in her heart, It has been more than a year since she came to S City to serve as the captain of the second criminal investigation team, although everyone is very cooperative with her usual work, but no matter how hard she works and how hard she works, she still can't do what Xu Lang was like when she was there, which makes Ning Yanran sometimes start to doubt herself whether she is not suitable to be a criminal policeman.

Ning Yanran retracted her thoughts, looked at Xu Lang, who had put the umbrella at the door, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Lang saw that there was an empty seat next to Ye Xuefei, so he walked over and sat down with two fritters, as soon as he sat down, he picked up the fritters and began to eat, looking at Ning Yanran while eating and said, "What? Aren't I welcome to come? ”

Ning Yanran was a little choked by Xu Lang's words, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Lang didn't embarrass Ning Yanran, and directly gave an answer and said, "Old man Lu asked me to come." ”
