The two drove to the city's criminal police station, and after showing their documents, they came to the library smoothly.

Because it was vacation time, in addition to the administrator, there were only a few bits and pieces of students in the library, who were in love while reading.

As soon as he came in, Qiao Zhe couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that after so many years, this library is still like this, you see, the cracked wallpaper has not been repaired until now." After a pause: "However, it shouldn't feel like anything to you, right?" After all, you've just graduated from here. ”

"Yes, yes." Although this place is the same as in memory, Meng Ke does not have the emotion of Qiao Zhe to revisit the old place.

Qiao Zhe looked out the window: "Do you know this forest behind the library?" It was a dating mecca for us at that time. ”

Meng Ke followed his line of sight: "You often ask all kinds of girls to go on dates there?" ”

"Where? I'm single-minded, okay? When I was in school, I only pursued one girl......" Qiao Zhe's expression was a little gloomy, Meng Ke didn't notice it and continued to ask: "Did you pursue it in the end?" ”

Qiao Zhe retracted his gaze: "I don't know the answer yet, because she is no longer there." ”

"Gone? Gone abroad? Meng Ke didn't understand for a while.

"Dead, killed." After Qiao Zhe finished speaking, he turned to say: "Let's start looking for the information you said, folklore?" Right? I'll go over there first. ”

Meng Ke looked at Qiao Zhe's slender back, and felt that it was the first time that he couldn't understand a man so much, saying that he was easy-going and cynical, but he was very kind in his bones, and he had things that he wanted to pursue. She admits that she is indeed attracted to this man, but so what? He's just a virtual character created by his brother, and even if he really falls in love, it won't end well, and in the end it's just a dream. She finally regained her sanity at this moment, which was temporarily disturbed by Qiao Zhe, and now she felt that she would not struggle anymore, as long as she could achieve the goal of finally seeing her brother, she would do anything and any task, even if it was to make her pretend to be in love with someone......

After thinking clearly, Meng Ke kept up with Qiao Zhe's footsteps, Meng Ke remembered that the book was on the last floor of the folklore bookshelf in the library, but she and Qiao Zhe read it many times, but they didn't find the book in their memory, Meng Ke felt strange and called out the system in his mind Xiao Nan asked: "Isn't this the same structure as the real world?" ”

"Yes, but don't forget that this is also the subjective world created by Meng Ran." System Xiao Nan replied calmly as always.

Only then did Meng Ke understand that if his brother hadn't read it, it would not have existed here.

"It could have been borrowed, are you really sure it's here?" Qiao Zhe turned his head and asked.

"Yes, it was probably borrowed."

"Does it matter? What exactly is a book about? Qiao Zhe asked curiously.

"It is a book that records the trickery of folk sacrifices." Meng Ke recalled the content of the book: "It talked about a method of practicing a ghost boy. ”

"Are you saying that our case may have something to do with this ghost boy?"

Meng Ke nodded: "I'm just guessing, if this case is the same person, then why treat the three pregnant women differently?" And why only Fang Ruonan's child is not with her body, I guess it is because Fang Ruonan's child is very likely to be a boy, or it is in line with the type that the murderer wants. ”

"That would explain why the methods of killing are different." Qiao Zhe followed Meng Ke's train of thought and said: "This analysis does make sense, after all, the babies around Zhu Aiyun and Zhang Jing are all baby girls. ”

Meng Ke nodded: "But I'm a little unsure, so I haven't planned to tell Team Leader He about this idea for the time being, I'm afraid he ......."

Qiao Zhe comforted and patted Meng Ke's shoulder: "Don't think too much, He Cheng is not that kind of person, if it is really related to the cult sacrifice, I believe he will only work harder to catch the murderer." ”

Meng Ke smiled: "You have a really good relationship with the team leader." ”

Qiao Zhe just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this moment, the mobile phones of both of them rang, and Qiao Zhe looked at Meng Ke: "It seems that there is another case." ”

"Let's go."

The fourth body was Tan Beibei, which was found in the garbage treatment plant in the east of the city, and the death was similar to Fang Ruonan, there was no trace of burning candles and paper money, and there was no baby around him, Qiao Zhe felt that maybe Meng Ke's guess was true.

After investigating the scene, as soon as several people arrived at the police station on the front foot, He Cheng was called to the director's office on the back foot, and then Gao Xu, the leader of the second group, walked in, and everyone saw that it was Gao Xu and returned to his position to do his own thing, only Qiao Zhe stood up and greeted him: "What kind of wind blew our tall team leader here?" You sit down first, our team leader has gone to the meeting, and he will not be there for the time being. ”

Gao Xu waved his hand: "Looking at your appearance, I don't know what happened, right?" ”

"What's going on?" Qiao Zhe leaned against the table next to him and asked, clasping his hands on his chest.

"Hmph, the background of this dead pregnant woman today is not simple, the director has been under a lot of pressure, and you are limited to solve the case within three days, otherwise~ Hmph, you have to be suspended for observation. In my experience, three days is really hard, so if you transfer the case to our second team as soon as possible, you may be able to keep your position......"

Qiao Zhe smiled: "In this way, then this case will become a hot potato, and the senior team leader is willing to do next?" ”

"What else could I do? Difficult cases, or leave them to a capable team to solve, what do you say, Qiao Zhe? ”

Su Can heard Gao Xu's words, secretly grimacing behind the computer, Luo Feng couldn't help laughing, Gao Xu seemed to hear something: "You group is also a model team in the bureau, look at them one by one, and you don't know how to say hello when you see your seniors." He looked around as if he was looking for something, and only after meeting Meng Ke's eyes did he reach out and point over: "Especially you!" You're the same intern who stared at me last time, right? Your team leader praised you to the sky when he had a meeting, but it turned out to be just an impolite little girl~"

Qiao Zhe didn't move in front of Meng Ke and replied with a smile: "Didn't you also say it, Senior Team Leader, she is still just an intern, and there are many things that she doesn't understand, so you can take care of it." ”

Gao Xu looked at Meng Ke again, Meng Ke was also looking at her, in the real world, what kind of prisoner Meng Ke hadn't been caught? What kind of people haven't confronted each other? Even if the people on the underworld see her, they have to call Sister Meng Ke, although she has changed her young skin, she is still the same Meng Ke in her bones, and she has no stage fright for Gao Xu's eyes, and even makes Gao Xu murmur in her heart, why are this little girl's eyes so weird.

"Hmph, I'll see how you end up~" After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Su Can hurriedly approached Meng Ke: "Meng Ke, don't take it to heart, just treat him as a fart." ”

Luo Feng also said: "Yes, it's just yourself who is angry. ”

Qiao Zhe didn't say anything, he felt that Meng Ke wouldn't take this little thing to heart, and sure enough, he heard Meng Ke say: "What is there to be angry about, jumping clown." ”

Luo Feng and Su Can laughed when they heard this, and were laughing happily when He Cheng walked in with a gloomy face and slammed the document in his hand on the table. Su Can hurriedly put away his smile and asked, "What's the matter, team leader?" ”

"These old guys dare to threaten me! Hum! He Cheng pulled out a stool and sat down: "What kind of mysterious person's important person, isn't it the junior of a rich man?" Her life is her life, isn't it the life of the others? ”

Everyone roughly understands what happened, today's deceased Tan Beibei must be a wealthy man's junior, and now in addition to the matter, the above is forced to ask He Cheng to find the murderer of Tan Beibei first for various reasons.

"Which rich man's junior is it?" Qiao Zhe asked suddenly.

He Cheng thought for a while: "The one who is engaged in real estate is called ...... He Yang! ”

Qiao Zhe thought for a while: "I remember that he has never had a child, and he attaches so much importance to Tan Beibei, maybe it is because Tan Beibei is pregnant with his child?" ”

He Cheng nodded: "Because Tan Beibei was 8 months pregnant when she disappeared, and the time of her death was also in the early hours of last night, the child has not yet been found, He Yang insisted that we must find the body of his child." ”

Qiao Zhe glanced back at Meng Ke and continued to ask, "Has Tan Beibei checked the gender of the child in her womb?" Is it a boy? ”

He Cheng was a little surprised: "How do you know?" Just went eavesdropping on the old guy? ”

Qiao Zhe shook his head and told Meng Ke's guess in the library, and everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was filled with an indescribable smell.

He Cheng stood up and sorted out Qiao Zhe's words just now: "In other words, the murderer is likely to be practicing ghost boys, which can explain why he put Zhang Jing and Zhu Aiyun's children by their respective sides, according to the time of death and disappearance of several pregnant women, the murderer still needs to wait until the child is born at term." He Cheng touched his chin and thought about it, looked up and asked, "Su Can Luofeng, did you find anything when you went to Newmom today?" ”

Only then did the two remember the report, Luo Feng said: "Brother Su Can and I asked the clerks of the store, their member information is summarized to the head office, if you want to inquire about member information, you must have a certain permission." ”

"We also went to Newmom's head office, and there were only three people who had permission to view all member information, one was the boss Sun Yan, and two were the company's executives, Song Lulu and Li Jia."

"The murderer can't possibly be a woman." He Cheng looked at Cheng Bai and said, "It's not something that a woman can do to make a pregnant woman faint and then transport it away." And judging from the murderer's caesarean section, it doesn't look like a woman can do it. ”

Qiao Zhe also agreed: "Anyway, these three people are the only clues we have at the moment, so it's better to bring them over and ask." ”

He Cheng nodded, looking at the photo of the last missing person, Tang Lan, and clenched his fists tightly.

Because the three of them were all women, in order to show respect, He Cheng handed over the main question to Meng Ke, and Luo Feng was in charge of recording it. Meng Ke asked the transcript quickly, straight to the point, and did not procrastinate, but in two hours, all three of them finished asking.

Out of the interrogation room, Luo Feng was a little frustrated, and the clues that he had finally found were now broken: "What to do, I don't think the three of them are suspicious." ”

He Cheng looked at Meng Ke: "What do you think?" ”
