"Miss, what you have provided has helped us a lot. Thank you for these leads. Xu Wenxin smiled and nodded, "We will summarize these clues, and I believe that the case will be solved soon and you will be given the truth." ”

"Okay, thank you," Li Xiaolan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Then what if I find out about that man's whereabouts again?" ”

"We have recorded your address, then you only need to call, and a comrade will arrive at the scene as soon as possible," Xu Wenxin said patiently, "Moreover, if you still feel uneasy, you can also apply for protection, and we will decide whether to send police to protect you according to the situation, of course, some of your freedoms may be restricted." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it, thank you." Li Xiaolan nodded in agreement and left the desk.

"Huh~~ It's another meaningless clue," Xu Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss screamed, it's really awkward!" Why do I have to come and receive these whistleblowers? ”

"Bear with me, there are even more strange things," Liu Wenyu took over the conversation, "The superior gave a death order, and the case must be solved on the National Day, otherwise it can't be a holiday, it's really miserable." ”

"And what you can't say is that you can't take any whistleblower lightly, that's why there are so many people who come to make trouble." Xu Wenxin pouted dissatisfiedly. "However, there are a few bruises on that person's calf, do you think it is a mental disorder caused by domestic violence?"

"Who knows? Psychologically, you have to ask Brother Wen. Liu Wenyu shrugged.

Li Xiaolan didn't hear the conversation between the two, but touched her hand to her side, only to realize that she didn't have a satchel.

"It's a bit troublesome, it seems that I forgot to take it when I went out," Li Xiaolan muttered, then looked at the time, 4:27 p.m., "I have to go home and get it quickly, I still have to eat the heart pill on time." ”

She walked out of the police station step by step, not noticing that there was an equally emaciated man opposite her, who had also come to provide clues.

Wang Hongjie!

………………

Thirty minutes ago......

He's coming for himself!

Wang Hongjie thought desperately.

As soon as he got out of bed, he was caught off guard by a new police murder on television — an alley near the neighborhood where he lived.

Wang Hongjie, who learned the news, almost fainted, he hurriedly fled out of the door, and in a panic, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, just put on a coat and hurried out.

But he soon regretted why he didn't stay home.

Now he was cowering in the corner of a restaurant, staring at every passerby who walked past his table, as if each of them had become hooded men in black, and could take their lives at any moment.

At this moment, Wang Hongjie regretted it very much, if he had gone home honestly and walked towards that alley without ghosts, wouldn't there have been so many things?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and Wang Hongjie can only reluctantly accept this reality - he was targeted by the murderer, and the murderer even used another case to tell himself that he was coming, and he, this stupid, actually chose to flee in a panic after seeing all this, instead of tightening the door to call the police, waiting for the rescue of the police at home.

But it's useless to regret it, he has nowhere to go, Wang Hongjie thought with annoyance, the home is no longer safe, think about it carefully, when he goes out, did he lock the door? Did you close all the doors?

Obviously, in that case, the most likely scenario is that there is none.

So in this case, the home is no longer an absolutely safe haven, if you are going home, and the murderer is hiding in the house, what should you do?

Therefore, Wang Hongjie is now just walking on the street, wandering alone, he tries his best to walk towards crowded places, hoping that this method can give him a little courage.

It's a pity that he now finds that this kind of behavior is not helpful at all, and shuttling through the crowd cannot solve a fundamental problem at all - what to do at night?

At that time, there will be nowhere to go at all, the streets will be empty and quiet at night, you can't go back even if you have a home, the streets will provide the perfect crime scene for the killer, and worse, you won't even be able to go to the hotel - because you are in such a hurry to go out, your credit card and ID card are all left at home, and if you go there, even if you sleep in the lobby, you will still be kicked out as a homeless.

He tried to calm himself down, only to find that he couldn't.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Wang Hongjie's eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in Wang Hongjie's eyes, he immediately looked there, but he didn't see any suspicious figures.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he found the figure in a casual glance.

Tall body...... Dressed in black...... Black Hooded ......

This figure is all too familiar......

"Ahh

Alarm! Be sure to call the police!

Wang Hongjie fled frantically, quickly recalled the nearest police station in his mind, and immediately turned around and ran towards there.

"What a person!" Some of the staff of the restaurant hurriedly chased them out, and when they saw this, a waiter muttered quietly.

"What do I say? When he's sitting here, I'm going to say he's a little out of sorts! How can a normal person dress like this! Another waiter said the same.

………………

"Come, here, leave your personal information," Xu Wenxin gave Wang Hongjie a personal information form and a pen, "Don't be nervous, tell everything you know." ”

"Okay," Wang Hongjie licked his chapped lips and told everything that had happened these days.

"So, you're an eyewitness?" After Xu Wenxin heard Wang Hongjie's description of the situation at that time, she immediately raised her spirits. "Tell me about the situation at the scene carefully, and don't leave any details!"

"At that time, I only saw that the man was wearing a black dress and a hood, and he couldn't see his face clearly," Wang Hongjie said with annoyance, "I only knew that he was very burly and tall." ”

"You're too broad, I said you're very tall and tall!" Xu Wenxin pouted dissatisfiedly, "And then?" ”

"I rushed home and hid, because he seemed to see me," Wang Hongjie's body trembled, "I was really scared, afraid that he would follow me into the house and kill me with that axe!" ”

"Then why did you come here to report the crime? Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you? After all, it's possible that he doesn't know about you as an eyewitness. ”

"No, he knows! He must already know! Wang Hongjie grabbed Xu Wenxin's hand in horror, the corners of the latter's mouth twitched, holding back a little discomfort, but still didn't pull out his hands, "I saw the report today and saw the location of the second case, which is clearly next to my house!" It's right across the street from my house! ”

"Please calm down, this is the police station, no one will hurt you." Xu Wenxin caressed Wang Hongjie's trembling hands and comforted, "And then? ”

And then ...... And then I ran away, out of my own house, as anyone who saw me should be able to attest," Wang Hongjie tried to calm himself down, "and then I ran to a crowded place — I thought it would make me less scared, I would be safer, but I was wrong, it didn't make me feel a little safer at all, it only made me feel more afraid." I felt like everyone was like a hooded killer who was coming to take my life. ”

And then ...... I saw him......"

"He just stood there, quietly looking at me through the glass of the tour, as if he were looking at his prey," Wang Hongjie gasped deeply, "His appearance is familiar to me, and he will never be mistaken, and after seeing that I noticed him, he disappeared into the crowd." ”

"I was still running out in a panic, and it was only after I realized that it was useless to go anywhere, so I decided to come here and report the crime."

After saying this, Wang Hongjie gasped for breath, as if relieved.

"Interesting statement." Xu Wenxin picked up the pen and crossed out the "9.24" on the paper and changed it to "9.25".

"What?" Wang Hongjie seemed to be in disbelief, "You don't believe it? ”

"I really want to believe you, but there are too many loopholes in what you said," Xu Wenxin replied, "First of all, today is September 25th, not September 24th, and secondly, ......"

Raising her head again, Xu Wenxin looked directly at the sweaty man: "The second case didn't happen at all in the opposite block of your address. ”

"What? No...... No way! Wang Hongjie shouted loudly, attracting the unanimous attention of the police next to him, "Obviously it happened in the opposite block!" ”

"You see, the second case is far from the first, almost 12 kilometers in a straight line," Xu Wenxin patiently drew a line on the map, connecting the two murder locations, "but if we connect the location of the second case with your residential address......

A black line segment appeared, and Xu Wenxin said with a smile: "It's more than 20 kilometers apart!" At this distance, how can it be said that it is the opposite block? ”

"However, thank you for providing ......" Xu Wenxin continued to speak, but Wang Hongjie felt dizzy, and he couldn't hear clearly and didn't have time to care about what Xu Wenxin said next.

"More than 20 kilometers apart ......"

"Today is not September 24......"

The words echoed in his mind, and all he remembered was that he got up mechanically and walked mechanically to the outside of the police station......

Mechanical General ......
