The quality of a thing does not care about the quality of the thing itself, but about the person who uses it.

Zhang Lei's joke did not expect it to become a major clue to solve the case.

Human skin and mask are a kind of props that often appear in Hollywood movies, this kind of mask generally only appears in film and television works, and few people will use it in reality.

Everyone looked at the mask on the computer that was extremely similar to a certain star, and they couldn't help but gasp.

When Lu Xing saw the surveillance video before, he found that the three suspects of different ages and appearances all had many similarities, for example, they were all very strong, their strength was very great, and their clothes were also very similar, second, their methods of attacking the victim were exactly the same, they all attacked the back of the victim's head from behind, and used fists or stones to hit the victim's head, so that the victim fell into a coma or semi-coma, so that the victim lost the ability to resist, and was committing a crime. After they assault the victim, they will rob the property, which is different from many rapists, the average rapist commits the crime, all for the sake of robbing the sex, the robbery of the property is just a convenient thing, and these eleven cases are all robbery first and then robbery.

At first, after Xu Lang and the others received this case, they thought it was an individual crime, but after investigation, they thought that it might be a gang, and when they saw this mask, they suddenly discovered that these eleven cases were very likely to be committed by one person.

As for why the victims say that they look like a certain star, in fact, it can also be explained, first, after the victim is attacked, there will be a short or long coma, and the human brain will have a short-term hallucination after being attacked, and it is easy to confuse the murderer's appearance, second, when the victim was killed, it was at night, in an unknown place, they could only see a general outline, and the specific details must not be clear, and third, it was because the murderer committed the crime with a mask, According to the information found by Lu Xing, these masks are very similar, they look very similar, but if you look closely, you will still find some differences, after all, everyone's facial features are different, and if you wear a mask, there will definitely be some changes, so the victim will say that the gangster looks like whomever and who.

After some analysis, everyone felt that this bold guess was very likely to be the truth, but whether it was the truth or not, it was not enough to rely on speculation alone, evidence was needed, and tests were needed, so Ning Yanran asked Lu Xing to buy a mask online, and the cost would be reimbursed by the team when the time came, and Lu Xing immediately did so.

Although there is a guess of a mask, but other aspects of the investigation still need to continue, although during this time, everyone is very tired and hard, especially Zhao Hua and Zhang Lei, as well as the police who cooperate with them to investigate the construction site, everyone is very hard, but if they don't catch the murderer for a day, they don't dare to slack off easily.

Ning Yanran looked at the tired people and said, "Today, everyone will go back early to rest, take a bath, sleep well, and come to work early every day." ”

When everyone heard this, they all stood up, packed up and prepared to go back.

After everyone left, Ning Yanran, who was left last, saw that Xu Lang was still sitting in place and didn't move, so she asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Xu Lang glanced at Ning Yanran and said, "Are you sleepy?" ”

Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang and didn't understand what he meant by asking, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, compared to them, I'm not very sleepy." ”

As soon as Ning Yanran's words fell, Xu Lang stood up and said to Ning Yanran: "Since you are not sleepy, go out with me at night." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang walked outside.

Ning Yanran hurriedly followed, shouting behind, "Where are we going?" ”

"Construction site."

So, the two of them drove to the construction site, this time Xu Lang was driving, and Ning Yanran was sitting in the co-pilot.

When the two of them came to the construction site, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, at this time, the construction site had already stopped, the construction site was pitch black, the lights were still on in the temporary dormitory where the workers lived, and occasionally the sound of people talking could be heard, and from time to time people came out to go to the toilet.

Xu Lang parked the car in a place not far from the entrance of the construction site, where the street lights just couldn't shine, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find the car at all, so Xu Lang sat in the driver's seat, looking at the door of the construction site, as if waiting for something.

Ning Yanran also followed Xu Lang to watch at first, but the two of them sat in the car and waited for more than two hours, but they still didn't see anyone coming out of the construction site, Ning Yanran was a little sleepy, these days, although she didn't go out to investigate and visit, she just stayed in the second criminal investigation team, but every time she got a clue, she would only arrange the next move after Ning Yanran thought about it, and naturally she was tired enough, so Ning Yanran lowered the co-pilot's seat a little, curled up on the seat, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

During this period, Xu Lang kept his eyes on the door of the construction site.

Time passed little by little, and unconsciously, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, just when Xu Lang's eyes were sour and a little sleepy, suddenly, a person came out of the construction site, wearing black clothes, holding several cement bags that could be seen everywhere on the construction site, and he didn't know what was inside.

The man walked very fast, but without making a sound, the man kept his head down, looking at his feet, and looking around from time to time.

After the man walked out of the door of the construction site, he first looked left and right, and then walked in one direction.

When Xu Lang saw this back, he recognized it at a glance, this person was the person Xu Lang was chasing that night, seeing that person was about to go away, Xu Lang slapped Ning Yanran on the thigh, Ning Yanran was awakened suddenly, sat up suddenly, first looked around, and then looked at Xu Lang and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Lang stretched out his hand, pointed at the person who had gradually walked away, and said, "Someone has appeared, you quickly call for support." ”

"Who's there?"

Ning Yanran hadn't woken up yet, and the whole person was still in a daze.

At this time, Xu Lang had already unbuckled his seat belt, jumped out of the car, and said to Ning Yanran: "Suspect." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang stomped his feet on the spot and chased after the man.

Seeing Xu Lang running away, Ning Yanran, who was in a daze, instantly sobered up, immediately took out her mobile phone, dialed the phone number of the criminal police team, called for support, and after doing all this, Xu Lang and they had disappeared, Ning Yanran moved from the co-pilot to the driver's seat, started the car, and chased after her, and by the way, she turned on the communication equipment and began to report the location to the criminal police team.

After Xu Lang got out of the car, he chased after the person, at first, the person didn't care about anything, but when Xu Lang slowly approached him, the person realized that something was wrong, and began to run wildly.

After Xu Lang saw that person found out, he ran away like a rabbit, scolded his mother in his mouth, and also opened his legs and began to chase after him.

At the beginning, the two people still maintained a certain distance, and gradually, the distance between the two people slowly began to shorten, but every time Xu Lang wanted to catch up with that person, that person would accelerate and run wildly, and Xu Lang finally narrowed the distance and opened it again, and after repeating it several times, Xu Lang did not deliberately close the distance, and always followed not far away.

The man in black did not run along the road, but often ran on some fork roads, and then turned onto the road, and after encountering the next fork in the road, he ran into the fork in the road, which made the unfamiliar Xu Lang miserable, and he almost lost it several times.

In this way, one fled in front, the other chased behind, and unconsciously, the two of them had been running for more than twenty minutes, and the speed of the man in black was obviously much slower than before, but he continued to run, and Xu Lang's situation was similar.

Xu Lang chased while scolding his mother in his heart, "Your sister, you can run so well, why don't you become a sports athlete, you have to do robbery and rape crimes." ”

In summer, the dawn time is generally relatively early, and the sky is slightly bright at five o'clock.

At this moment, the sky has gradually brightened, although it is not yet bright, but it can already see the surrounding things clearly, and when Xu Lang found the man in black, it was more than four o'clock in the morning, and now it is five o'clock, you can imagine how long the two of them have been running.

At this time, Xu Lang also saw clearly the person's dress, dark skin, strong body, black T-shirt, loose sweatpants, black canvas shoes, and the cement bag he was carrying in his hand had long been thrown away by him I don't know where it was.

After another ten minutes of running, neither of them could run, but neither of them stopped.

Xu Lang used to be the champion of the five-kilometer cross-country among their group of police officers, Xu Lang set a record in the police force four years ago, that is, the long-distance running record of eight kilometers and sixty pounds of cross-country running, although it cannot be compared with the soldiers of the army, but it is not too much worse.

Now Xu Lang feels the hot pain in his lungs, every breath, he feels the pain in his heart, although Xu Lang has graduated from the police academy for four years and is not in high-intensity training, but Xu Lang usually goes to run with weights when he has nothing to do, and now Xu Lang can't run anymore, you can imagine how far they have run.

After running for another five minutes, the sky was bright, and Xu Lang realized that the surrounding area was desolate, there were no residents nearby, and he could occasionally hear a dog barking or two.

Suddenly, the man in black stopped, did not run again, but turned around, took out a dagger from his arms, propped one hand on his knee, and held the dagger at Xu Lang with the other, panting heavily.

Xu Lang also stopped, stopped a hundred meters away from the man in black, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped for breath, Xu Lang raised his head, and finally saw this guy's face clearly, it really looks like a popular traffic star, but what makes Xu Lang feel strange is that after running for so long, Xu Lang is already sweating profusely, and his clothes are soaked, this guy has no sweat on his face at all, not only is there no sweat, but there is no flushing on his face after high-intensity exercise, if he hadn't seen that this guy's T-shirt had begun to drip, and the violently undulating chest, Xu Lang really doubted that this guy was a freak who didn't know tiredness.

Just when Xu Lang was about to get up and approach the man in black, the man in black also stood up, took a dagger, and waved it at Xu Lang twice, without saying anything in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at Xu Lang, the meaning was obvious, that is, to tell Xu Lang not to come.

Xu Lang had no choice but to stop and stand in place.

Just when Xu Lang stopped, the man in black suddenly turned around and ran, how could you come over just now, I will fight desperately with you.

", you're playing with me."

The man in black fled suddenly, Xu Lang also froze, the man in black had a knife in his hand, Xu Lang didn't dare to approach rashly, just look around to see if he could find anything like a branch.

After Xu Lang looked around, he didn't see the branches, and when he saw a palm-sized stone, Xu Lang bent down to pick it up, put a pad on his hand, stood up straight, and looked at the man in black who had run out dozens of meters, and Xu Lang also ran.

Seeing that the man in black was about to flee, Xu Lang suddenly rushed forward, picked up his arm, and smashed the stone in his hand towards the man in black.

Maybe Xu Lang was too lucky, maybe God couldn't get used to this guy, and didn't want to let him continue to get away with it, scourge women, the stone drew a graceful arc in the air, and then hit the back of the head of the man in black impartially.

"Uh-huh"

After the stone hit the man in black, the man in black snorted and fell to the ground, and the dagger in his hand fell to the side.

Seeing this, Xu Lang hurriedly sped up his pace and rushed over, when he was ten meters away from the man in black, he slowed down his pace and approached slowly, seeing that the man in black did not react, Xu Lang still didn't dare to take it lightly, continued to approach, and finally came to the side of the man in black, first kicked the dagger that fell aside, and then stretched out his hand to get the handcuffs, only then did he remember that he was no longer a policeman, where did the handcuffs come from.

Xu Lang squatted down and touched the neck of the man in black, and there was a pulse, indicating that he was not stoned to death by Xu Lang, but was temporarily knocked unconscious, Xu Lang withdrew his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, looked at the unconscious man in black, and was worried that he would suddenly wake up and continue to escape, if this was the case, Xu Lang, who was already exhausted, really couldn't chase, so Xu Lang sat on the body of the man in black and rode on his waist.

After Xu Lang gasped for breath for a long time, he gradually calmed down, his beating heart beat violently, took out his mobile phone, and found that there were countless missed calls on his mobile phone, among which Ning Yanran was long, Xu Lang opened the mobile phone and called Ning Yanran back.

The phone was connected, and Ning Yanran's anxious voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Xu Lang, where are you? Why don't you answer my phone...."

Finally, Ning Yanran asked, "Have you caught the suspect?" ”

Xu Lang waited until Ning Yanran finished talking about the cannon-like question before he said, "Got it, sit under my ass." ”

"Caught? Are you sure? ”

Hearing Xu Lang say that the suspect had been caught, Ning Yanran was extremely excited on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Lang, where are you? We'll pick you up. ”

At this time, Li Lei's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Hearing Li Lei ask where he was, Xu Lang was also stunned for a moment, first looked around, and found that he had never been to this place, so he said, "I don't know where I am." ”

"Huh?"

There were a few surprised voices on the other end of the phone, not only Li Lei's, but also Ning Yanran, Zhang Lei and others.

Xu Lang was also very helpless about this, he patronized and chased the man in black last night, where they ran away, Xu Lang didn't know.

Xu Lang looked around, and suddenly saw an old man in his seventies, bent over his waist, carrying a basket full of grass, Xu Lang hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, uncle, where is this?" ”

The old man seemed to have some ears behind his ears, and vaguely heard someone talking, so he raised his head and saw Xu Lang, and then saw the man in black lying on his stomach in Xu Lang, the old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Lang and asked loudly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xu Lang was a little speechless, so he continued to ask, "Uncle, where is this?" ”

"Huh? I haven't had breakfast yet. ”

"No, uncle, I'm asking you, where is this?"

"Huh? My surname is Joe. ”

“......”

Xu Lang was completely speechless, looked at Uncle Qiao with black lines on his face, and said in his heart, "Your uncle is really still your uncle, if you don't accept it, you can't accept it." ”

Uncle Qiao saw that Xu Lang didn't speak, so he slowly walked over, looked at the two people sitting on their stomachs and asked, "Young man, what did you just say?" ”

Xu Lang had no choice but to raise his head and said loudly: "Uncle, let me ask you, where is this?" ”

Uncle Qiao looked at Xu Lang, glanced at Xu Lang, and said, "Why are you talking so loudly?" I'm not deaf. ”

"Haha"

Zhang Lei's laughter came from the mobile phone, the conversation between Xu Lang and the old man just now, they all heard it through the mobile phone, and they were speechless and felt like laughing at the same time.

Uncle Qiao looked at Xu Lang and did not answer Xu Lang immediately, but asked, "Young man, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm a policeman, where is this, uncle?"

Xu Lang learned to be smart this time, and he didn't shout loudly anymore, but said in a loud voice.

"Police? I don't look like it. ”

Uncle Qiao looked at Xu Lang with a suspicious look and said to himself, but he finally told Xu Lang where this was.

It turns out that this is no longer S City, but Qiaojia Village, Fengshui County, a neighbor of S City, Y City, which is 16 kilometers away from the construction site, that is, more than 16,000 meters.

After Xu Lang sent the address to Ning Yanran and them, there was silence on the phone for a long time before Zhang Lei's voice came.

"Brother Lang, you are really an animal, you can run like this, you belong to a horse."

"Get out of your uncle, hurry up and come over to pick up the labor, remember to bring some food, the labor-management is starving."

Xu Lang roared at the phone, then hung up the phone, and after putting down the phone, he saw that Uncle Qiao was still standing in place and did not leave, obviously he didn't believe that Xu Lang was a policeman, and the general police were wearing police uniforms and carrying handcuffs and documents like that, but Xu Lang was wearing a T-shirt, big pants, and a pair of sneakers on his feet, no matter how he looked like a policeman, and there was a person lying under Xu Lang's buttocks, if he hadn't seen that person's chest was still slightly undulating, Uncle Qiao would have thought that this person was dead.

Xu Lang didn't know how to explain to Uncle Qiao, so he took out the crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, took out two cigarettes from it, and handed one to Uncle Qiao.

Uncle Qiao didn't say anything polite to Xu Lang, took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, Xu Lang hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it for Uncle Qiao, and then lit one himself.

With the cigarette handed out by Xu Lang, one big and one small, one old and one young, the two of them sat there, chatting with each other.

Xu Lang knew that Uncle Qiao was seventy-three years old this year, living alone in Qiaojia Village in front, he had two sons, three daughters, and a wife who was five years younger than him, sixty-eight years old this year, and his health was not very good.

Don't look at Uncle Qiao's body, which is already a little rickety, but there are two pigs at home, and the reason why he came out so early is to come out to hunt pigweed.

And Uncle Qiao also knew why Xu Lang was here, Xu Lang didn't tell that the person sitting under the ass was a rapist and robber, but said that he chased the thief here, and the reason why he didn't tell Uncle Qiao the truth was because Xu Lang was afraid that after Uncle Qiao knew the truth, he would beat the suspect under the ass to death, because in the eyes of people in their time, rapists were to be beaten to death by dipping in a pig cage.

In the past, when Xu Lang was still in the second criminal investigation team, he went to a village in S City to handle a case, and he was also a rapist, went to that village, raped a yellow flower girl, and after being discovered, he was chased and intercepted by the whole village, and finally caught, and then he was beaten and locked in a cage after the beating.

Xu Lang and Uncle Qiao waited for more than 40 minutes, several police cars with sirens finally arrived at the scene, before they came, the suspect woke up, and then Xu Lang knocked out again, when Uncle Qiao looked at Xu Lang's eyes, it became more and more strange, and he felt more and more that Xu Lang did not look like a policeman.

After the police car arrived, Ning Yanran and Li Lei all came, and in addition to them, several policemen from the local police station in Fengshui County also came.

When they saw Xu Lang, especially after seeing the suspect under Xu Lang's buttocks, they were all stunned for a long time.

Xu Lang saw that Ning Yanran and they were coming, so he stood up from the suspect, and as soon as Xu Lang stood up, the suspect wanted to take the opportunity to get up and escape, and then Xu Lang turned around and stepped on the suspect's lower back, and stepped on the guy to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust.

After Zhang Lei and the others saw it, they hurriedly walked over, took out handcuffs, handcuffed this guy, and pressed him into the police car.

Seeing the police car and the uniformed policeman, Uncle Qiao really believed that Xu Lang was really a policeman.

After Xu Lang and Uncle Qiao exchanged pleasantries, they got into the car, and the police from the local police station in Fengshui County naturally knew Uncle Qiao, and they also followed him to greet Uncle Qiao, and arranged a police officer to help carry the basket with pigweed on his back and send Uncle Qiao back to Qiaojia Village.

After Xu Lang got in the car, Zhao Hua hurriedly handed over the breakfast that was already cold, as well as a bottle of mineral water, after Xu Lang took it, he was not polite, he ate it in two bites, and then drank a large bottle of mineral water, which was a full burp.

After the police who sent Uncle Qiao back from Fengshui County came back, Xu Lang and they drove away, Li Lei drove, Ning Yanran sat in the co-pilot, Xu Lang and Zhao Hua sat in the back row, and Zhang Lei and several policemen from S City sat in the car escorting the suspect.

After Xu Lang ate and drank enough, he found that everyone was looking at him, and Xu Lang asked puzzledly, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

After speaking, Xu Lang touched his face in confusion again, and found that there was nothing, seeing that Zhao Hua and Ning Yanran were looking at him, and Li Lei, who was driving, also looked at Xu Lang through the rearview mirror in the car, Xu Lang asked suspiciously: "What are you looking at me for?" Do I have flowers on my face, or do I have money? ”

The three of them shook their heads at the same time, and finally, Zhao Hua couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lang, can you tell us how you ran from S City to Y City?" ”

"Smack"

Xu Lang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "I don't know, if he runs, I will chase, and then I will run here." ”

The three of them were speechless and fell silent.

They sighed at Xu Lang and admired Xu Lang's endurance, but also became more curious about the suspect, if it wasn't for Xu Lang asking Ning Yanran to go to the construction site with him to see, maybe the suspect would not have been found, if it wasn't for Xu Lang's perseverance this time to chase down all the way, maybe the suspect would have fled, if this is the case, it will be a matter of time before the suspect is caught, but it will definitely not be so fast.

On the way back, Xu Lang didn't sleep, but let Li Lei drive back along the road he came, at first everyone didn't understand what was going on, and then when they found the cement bag in the grass of a road, after opening the cement bag, they found that there were several mobile phones inside, and there were many gold and silver jewelry, and there were bags and other things, so they understood why Xu Lang did this.

The contents of the cement bag are all important physical evidence, and without these key evidence, it is difficult to pry open the suspect's mouth.

Xu Lang and the others did not go back to S City directly, but first went to Feng Shui County in Y City, where to go through the relevant procedures, and then returned to S City with the suspect.

After all, Xu Lang and the others are arresting people in another city this time, and the process and rules still have to be followed.

After completing the formalities, Xu Lang lay down in the back seat to sleep, and Zhao Hua went to Zhang Lei's car.

After Ning Yanran got into the car, she looked at Xu Lang, who was already asleep, her eyes moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
