Chapter 15: The Cat and Mouse Game

The lights flashed and the alarm bells sounded in unison.

The criminal investigation team was divided into two routes, Chen Nian led the serious crime team to Yi'an Apartment, and the second captain Li Zhaohua led the team to Forestry High School.

Towards the end of the semester, the school authorities, fearing unnecessary onlookers and confusion, agreed that the criminal investigators would enter the school in civilian clothes and search for Yao Xinwu's whereabouts. However, the second team finally returned in vain, Yao Xinwu did not come to school that day, nor did he ask for leave, and no one knew where he went.

But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. The second captain, Li Zhaohua, still overheard the whispers of teachers and students-

"I heard that Yao Xinwu is a murderer...... Incredible......"

"Mistaken...... He still dares to kill people like that......"

"I don't believe him when he kills; But that kind of thing, it's not good......"

"Impossible, impossible...... He's still a good student......"

In the afternoon, the apartment was as peaceful as ever.

Chen Nian and Zhou Kejian were ambushed on both sides, and Fang Jinyu knocked on the door of Yao Yingchun's house.

"Jinyu, why are you, didn't you go to work today?" Yao Yingchun was still smiling, but when she saw people in police uniforms standing on the left and right, she immediately became nervous.

Fang Jinyu hurriedly reassured: "Sister Yao, don't be afraid, we came today to find Xin Wu to find out about the situation......" Almost at the same time as Fang Jinyu finished saying this, Chen Nian and Da Zhou rushed into the house in an arrow step.

Yao Yingchun said in a trembling voice: "Xin Wu is not at home, he went to school......

"He didn't go to school." Chen Nian said that, and quickly moved in the direction of the bedroom.

Fang Jinyu took Yao Yingchun's hand and said, "Sister Yao, don't worry, listen to me...... Our colleague has already been to forestry high school, Xin Wu really didn't go to school today, do you know where he went? ”

"I don't know, he woke up fine in the morning, and told me to go to school after breakfast."

"Is there anything unusual about him?"

"Nope!" Yao Yingchun's tears swirled in her eyes, "Jinyu, what's wrong?" Did Xin Wu make some mistakes? ”

"It's hard to say right now......"

Hearing this, Chen Nian came over and interjected: "We didn't say anything, why did you come up and ask if your son made a mistake?" …… Do you know he could make mistakes? ”

Chen Nian's eagle eyes stared at Yao Yingchun fiercely.

Yao Yingchun wiped away her tears and said, "A few days ago, you asked me to ask, and I and Shi Lei were concerned, but later I let Xin Wu know...... He found a knife in the kitchen and said that he was going to find Shi Lei. I told him, don't go, it's mom's wrong. He said I didn't want his life, so I scared and scared him. I said it's not okay to scare, Shi Lei has a heart ......"

"And then?"

"Later, he put the knife down, and he promised me that I would not go...... But within two days, Shi Lei really died...... At first, I was worried that Xin Wu did it, but then I heard that Shi Lei was hacked to death by a gang of thugs, so I was relieved......"

"On the night of December 20th, are you and Yao Xinwu at home?" Aged asked.

Yao Yingchun's eyes rolled: "Oh, I played mahjong in the community chess and card room for a night that day, Xin Wu should be at home, and when I came back in the middle of the night, I found that he was still playing on the computer, and said a few words to him." ”

"That can only prove that he was at home in the second half of the night, can you prove it in the first half of the night?"

Yao Yingchun was speechless.

At this time, under the gesture of Chen Nian, Fang Jinyu presented a transparent bag containing a Dior999 lipstick to Yao Yingchun: "Have you seen this lipstick?" ”

Yao Yingchun took the bag and looked up and down, left and right for a while: "I've seen it, it's mine." ”

Sunset.

A long alarm bell crossed the Jiangbei Bridge.

Forty minutes ago, the Serious Crime Team learned at Yao Yingchun's house that the Dior lipstick at the scene of the Lin Yang crime was lost a month ago. Now it seems that Yao Xinwu should have stolen his mother's belongings.

In addition, Chen Nian also asked questions such as "where Yao Xinwu might go" and "what hobbies does he usually have", and Yao Yingchun shook his head. It was only at this moment that the full-time accompanying mother realized that she knew very little about her adolescent son.

Under the circumstances, Chen Nian walked into Yao Xinwu's bedroom again and saw a photo on the bedside table at a glance. One-word eyebrows, eight-character mustaches. Chen Nian recognized Yao Xinwu as the boy he saw at Wohongqiaotou that night.

He also found that Yao Xinwu's bed was very clean, and the bookshelves, wardrobes, and computer desks were also well organized, and the only discordant place was under the bed.

Chen Nian felt a little strange when he first smelled a musty smell in the neat and orderly bedroom, and after careful searching, he found that the source was under the bed. Chen Nian leaned over and saw that there were all kinds of strange old clothes, leather shoes, magazines, and CDs printed on a woman's body on the two or three square meters of the ground......

Seeing this, Yao Yingchun said: "Xin Wu never let me touch his things, his clothes are washed by himself, and the door is locked when he is not at home." ”

"He seems to be a bit of a homebody?" Fang Jinyu asked tentatively.

"Yes, he usually doesn't go out."

"He doesn't have any friends?"

"Well, maybe I just transferred to another school, and I don't know many people......

"Do you know what he usually does at home?"

"That's it...... Let's read a book and play a game...... Xin Wu's grades are quite good, so I don't care much about him playing games......"

"Typical dual personality." Fang Jinyu and Yao Yingchun said, as if they were saying to everyone, "Positive, excellent grades, high self-discipline, three good students in the eyes of everyone; On the contrary, introverted and closed, dark in heart, addicted to erotic violence...... By the way, do you know what game he plays? ”

"That's it...... Online games, I don't understand either. ”

When Fang Jinyu and Yao Yingchun were talking, Chen Nian motioned for Gao Fang to turn on Yao Xinwu's computer.

“OK…… This guy did set up a boot password, but it didn't bother me. Gao Fang said proudly, "...... I'll go, this guy has a lot of resources......"

Looking at the explicit video icons on the screen, Yao Yingchun lowered her head in shame.

After a while, Gao Fang found the path of the game again, and whispered: "Violent city, erotic tycoon...... This guy really has a tendency to be violent...... What is this, I don't think I've ever seen it...... Master of Crime, looks like a wild ...... The last login was at 3:...... a.m. today"

Yao Yingchun couldn't bear it anymore, and squatted beside the bed and cried bitterly.

Chen Nian put his hand on Gao Fang's shoulder: "Give you twenty minutes to figure out the ins and outs of this game." ”

"Twenty minutes?"

"Questions?"

Gao Fang snapped his fingers: "No problem, wrap it on me." ”

When Gao Fang analyzed the game, Fang Jinyu helped Yao Yingchun to go to the living room to rest. The old man leaned on the head of the bed and waited. Xu was a little bored, Chen Nian saw a box of Hongmei brand cigarettes on the bookshelf above the computer desk, so he took one and lit it.

"This smoke is spicy, and ordinary people can't smoke it." Gao Fang said while working, "Hey, Team Chen, don't you smoke?" ”

“……”

Eight hours ago.

A man in a khaki cotton suit and a peaked cap stands by a public telephone on the side of the road and makes a call. The man pressed the brim of his hat so low that only two moustaches could be seen.

"It was originally according to your settings...... Be...... The last one was a man, but it was an accident...... I didn't deliberately change the rules of the game, I said it was an accident...... I tried to move on to the next level, maybe I was in a hurry and failed...... Okay, enter the ultimate self-help mode......"

The man hung up the phone, wrapped his coat tightly, and walked out into the snow with his head down.
