Hearing my quip about her, Azure wasn't angry at all. She chuckled softly and said, "Isn't this a request from your superiors?"

They attach great importance to this case, and they have directly dispatched talents from the three city bureaus to you, and they have assigned us people......" She stopped and suddenly looked at me affectionately.

“…… Shao Feng, have you been doing well all these years? ”

I was stunned, not knowing how to pick up on her words. My thoughts drifted into the distance.

Weilan and I met during a large-scale joint crime-solving event held by the Police Academy that year. At that time, the participants in this activity were divided into many groups, and then randomly selected difficult questions from the official questions of the police academy to answer, and some were even classic cases that had not been solved for many years.

I was in a group with her at the same time, and with her accurate intuition and my rigorous logical reasoning, we made it all the way to the end of the game.

And Weilan and I also formed a fate, began to know each other, and came together. We both love each other, or rather, appreciate each other.

She has always been interested in psychology, and her intuition about things is often accurate. We also enjoyed reading a series of science fiction and detective novels, especially the fascination with Japanese mystery novelists at that time. So we're always talking about it.

But because of a huge accident later...... Everything has changed. She later entered the School of Psychology to continue her studies in applied psychology and criminal psychology, and I was transferred to the police station early and began my career as a criminal police officer.

Azure seemed to see through my thoughts, and she didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't talk about that. Let's talk about the case? She asked.

"yes, okay." I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand and said solemnly.

"I had read the case file many times before I came. Just now, the director was talking to me again. One of my biggest questions so far is: what is the motive of the murderer. Judging from the modus operandi, it is not difficult to see that this is a thoughtful and calm person, who should be between 20 and 30 years old. ”

"He has a lot of strength. He should be educated, have a certain culture. IQ and EQ are above the average person. And judging by the complexity of the crime, it simply doesn't look like a crime. ”

Azure looked at me with an unusually serious expression. She looks very good when she gets serious.

"Killing people, dismembering corpses, dumpling human flesh, blaming troubles, robbing prisons, trapping the victim in a gas room, and taking off one of his little fingers...... It stands to reason that the more complicated the case, the easier it is for the murderer to be exposed, and the more flaws he will have. And he seemed to be a machine, and until now, there was no other evidence that could point directly at him except for the half fingerprint left on the rolling pin. ”

"He is probably sending a challenge to the police, or sending a message to the police, that is, no matter how I commit a crime, you will not be able to arrest me."

I put forward a little idea against it.

"Actually, I think that the murderer may not just be challenging the police, but all of this he is doing as if he is leading us down another path. He may want to tell us something, something, the truth, but he can't point it out directly, because he doesn't have the ability or the prestige. He wanted to connect these things together, wait for the police to find out the truth behind it, and spread it with our hands. ”

I looked at Azure and said the last sentence of the summary.

"In other words, he just committed the crime to get our attention, and then when we investigate the case, we will reveal other secrets that no one knows."

Teal listened to me very carefully, she was thinking about it at the moment, considering the feasibility of my idea.

"Shao Feng, although what you said is very reasonable, it is a little too imaginative......" Wei Lan said.

"I know, so further investigation is needed." I looked at my watch, and it was almost time for my meal.

"Let's go, Azure, I'll invite you to dinner."

"yes, okay." A genuine smile finally appeared on her face.

We chose a Japanese restaurant far away from the police station to eat. Although I never like to come to this kind of restaurant where the food is not full and the price is too expensive, after all, I am inviting my former girlfriend to dinner, so I still try to be generous.

Teal ordered a sushi and a cod rice. I ordered a bowl of buckwheat ramen. We chatted while eating, and found that the other party was still the same as before, always having something to talk about. Even though I was a little distracted, because the case was still weighing me down, I always told myself in my heart that I couldn't take it lightly.

Halfway through the meal, the blue phone rang. She picked it up and said, "It's the director's phone." I also put down the chopsticks in my hand and listened quietly.

"Hey, Director, yes, yes. He's with me. Okay, we'll be right back. After hanging up the phone, she looked at me with a serious face: "Someone came to report the case again, and it was two old people, and they also ate finger bones in dumplings." ”

We quickly rushed back to the police station. There was chaos in the hall of the police station. Two young men were talking loudly to the police, and two old men stood aside in fear, their faces extremely pale.

I dragged Azure straight to the forensic office.

"Has it been identified, is it the phalanx bone that Gao Wangming was taken off?" As soon as I rushed in, I asked excitedly.

"Hey, I'm sorry, Team Shao, you're not from the task force, you can't ......" Wang Ke from the forensic office wanted to stop me.

Azure stepped forward and pulled him aside and said a few nice words.

"Okay, but don't let the director know!" Wang Ke walked aside, picked up the appraisal sheet on the table, and said firmly: "That's right, it is Gao Wangming's finger bone, which can be completely matched." ”

After a series of interrogations, we learned that the two old men were natives of Cheng County, the old man's name was Zhao Guoqiang, and the old woman's name was Li Suqing.

They received a plate of dumplings from a neighbour this morning, saying that a young man had asked them to give them to two elderly people. The sons of the two old men didn't think about it so much, they were very happy, so they ate the dumplings with the two old men. Unexpectedly, human fingers were eaten from dumplings!

The vanished phalanges finally appeared. In the same way, the same two old men, and they ate human finger bones from eating dumplings......

But this time, it is not known if there is another victim. I looked at the window of the inquiry room,
