The time of midsummer passed in a blink of an eye day by day.

The Mochizukiyama community, where a horrific murder had occurred, resumed its bustling and noisy activity the next day. People are busy going to work, picking up and dropping off their children, doing business...... At first, there were people stopping to look at the cordon around the downstairs where the crime occurred. After that, no one cared about it at all. On the third day, the cordon was torn off because it was in the way.

Some of the residents living in this building have been afraid to come back recently. After all, it's too "fierce". From time to time, there will be reporters who run downstairs to take pictures and report. The lights in room 301 have been turned off ever since.

After the incident, the police also visited the victim's family several times. Xie Huifen, the sister of the deceased Xie Huifang, lived with her husband at a friend's house. They waited to catch the murderer, but if they couldn't catch it in a few days, they couldn't wait anymore and had to go back to work. After all, life has to go on.

Their son, Li Biran, stayed at home for a few days and then went back to school. At first, some classmates would come to comfort and ask. When Li Biran answered 1510, almost the whole class listened with their ears pricked up and exclaimed in a low voice. Li Biran was in school, and everywhere he went, people watched him. But this attention lasted only a few days, and after a few days, there was no one else around him. He went to class, ate and slept in silence. The teacher asked if he was okay, and he said that it was okay, and I was fine.

Two more days passed, five days after the incident.

All the criminal police hardly sleepless, and all the habitual thieves and people released from prison in the local area are checked one by one. At the same time, I have a deeper understanding of Xie Huifang's interpersonal relationships. And yet nothing was found.

The suspect could not be found. There is no one around her who has the motive and conditions to commit the crime. Among the potential criminals, no one meets the conditions for committing the crime.

The murderer was thoughtful, planned, quick to react, and had a certain sense of anti-criminal investigation. The means of crime are brutal and inhumane. Wearing size 39 shoes, backpack on the day of the crime (change out of bloody clothes), the murder weapon is a common watermelon knife on the market, which has not yet been found.

Because of the large flow of people and vehicles in the community where the crime occurred and the backward monitoring facilities, no other clues could be found. But the biggest headache for the police is that in most cases, the suspect and the victim have more or less some clues. In this case, so far, no connection between the murderer and the victim has been found.

……

On this day, Ding Xiongwei went to the city bureau for a meeting and was severely reprimanded by the leader. He returned to the sub-bureau and immediately trained the people in the team. But everyone also felt aggrieved in their hearts, and they were all tired like dogs. Fan Jia wilted and asked, "Team Ding, what should we do now?" The possibility of an acquaintance committing a crime was ruled out last time, and a habitual offender committed a crime, and now nothing has been found. So in what direction do you go next? ”

Ding Xiongwei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back and rest today and think about how to get it." The meeting will be held early tomorrow morning. ”

At the end of the scene, Xu Mengshan suddenly said: "Is it really a stranger who committed a crime randomly?" ”

Fan Jia's eyes widened: "Perverted killer? ”

You Mingxu sneered and said, "How can there be so many perverted killers? Do you think everyone is Gu Tiancheng? ”

That being said, You Mingxu packed up his things and looked up at the window. Twilight had fallen, and the city was lit up, looking very quiet, peaceful, and distant. The murderer may have sat in a corner of the city, successfully severing all ties to the case. You Mingxu always felt that there was still a big secret in this case, which escaped their sight, maybe right under their noses. But this vast twilight temporarily shrouded everything, making the hearts of those who seek the truth anxious and resentful.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when You Mingxu got home.

There was no light in the living room, only a figure sitting on the sofa, and the light on the TV was dim. You Mingxu turned on the light and saw Yin Feng stand up immediately. You Mingxu didn't look at him and went straight to the bedroom.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the sofa, I heard him say, "Ah Xu lost the bet." ”

You Mingxu glanced at him. Today he is wearing a yellow and tender T-shirt and big pants. It makes the skin fair and translucent. Eyes crooked with a smile. You Mingxu felt that he looked so tender that he was about to drip water.

You Mingxu: "Who said that?" ”

Yin Feng replied: "I have been following the case for the past two days, and there is no news of any progress. And the look on your face as you just walked in says it all. ”

You Mingxu glanced at him, walked to the sofa and sat down. Yin Feng also immediately sat down next to her, and the hot calves were almost attached to her jeans. You Mingxu said angrily: "Sit down." ”

He slowly moved a little to the side.

You Mingxu sighed in his heart and said, "It's true that as you said, we haven't found out anything about the line of making money. Now the case is like falling into an ice hole at night, and my eyes are black. ”

Yin Feng's brain didn't know how it worked, so he thought about it and said, "Ah Xu, have you ever fallen into an ice cave, I haven't fallen into it." Isn't it cold and exciting? ”

You Mingxu: "......"

She pulled out a cigarette, lit one, and smoked slowly.

In my memory, when Yin Feng was still in Tibet, I saw her smoking. It's been a long time since I've seen it. Is she worried again?

Under the soft light, the woman was tied in a simple ponytail, but her face still looked charming and arrogant. She held the cigarette between her fingers and slowly exhaled white smoke, making her eyes as clear as stars.

Yin Feng looked at it in a daze for a while, You Mingxu noticed it, suddenly smiled, and spit a puff of cigarette on his face. The smell of tobacco came to her nose, Yin Feng was originally a little choked, but through the smoke, looking at the smile on her face, she suddenly smiled stupidly.

So he simply pressed his hands on the bench under his buttocks, closed his eyes, raised his face, and sniffed the smoke gently, sucking as hard as she spitted out.

You Mingxu felt that this guy's appearance was too much like a puppy, poked out the cigarette butt, pressed his head, and said: "What second-hand smoke to smoke, don't learn it well!" ”

Yin Feng's eyes widened and he said, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?" ”

You Mingxu glanced at him: "Yo, you can still speak idioms." In fact, this sentence automatically came into Yin Feng's mind, which was strange to say, as soon as the words came out, he seemed to recall the meaning of this sentence, so he smiled slightly: "It seems that I am a little smarter again." ”

You Mingxu smiled, quietly looked at his clear eyes, and said, "You're right, I admit defeat." Maybe you really ...... Let's go out for a walk and talk about the case. ”

It was late in the night, and the two walked to the embankment again. At this time, there are no people, the lights are sparse, and the traffic is incessant. The surface of the river reflects a dappled light.

You Mingxu thought about things in his heart and was silent for a long time. Yin Feng played the game of stepping on the shadow by himself, and when he stepped on You Mingxu's head, he would laugh secretly. If you step on your mid-waist or chest, you will quickly look up at her and pretend that nothing has happened.

After a while, You Mingxu spoke: "The possibility of making money is basically ruled out. But the vendetta you consider can basically be ruled out. So, how likely do you think a stranger is to commit a crime? And how likely is a psychopathic killer? ”

Didn't Holmes say so? Eliminate all impossible answers, and the remaining result, even if it is incredible, is the truth of the event.

Yin Feng thought for a while and said, "In fact, from the current point of view, his various behaviors do not conform to the typicality of psychopathy. He was clearly capable of organization, but judging from the corpse, he did not torture his victims, nor did he clearly mark his behavior. It's almost a random chop. This is equivalent to saying that after careful selection and careful planning, they will be killed at will. If it is really a perverted killer who commits the crime, then this killer is too unpursued. So what exactly does he want? Through this killing process, he did not achieve an obvious sense of pleasure ~ and ritual.

Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that you have to have a sense of ritual to be a serial killer. It's just that you see, Gu Tiancheng, a psychopathic killer who is halfway out of the house and self-catalyzed and mature, will talk, fall in love, torture and bloodletting with the victims...... So I don't think there's clear behavioral evidence yet that allows us to conclude that psychopathic killers are committing the crime at random. ”

His voice was crystal clear and his eyes were sparkling. It's obviously talking about murder and corpses, but it seems to be saying that I want to eat this and not that.

These words were spoken by the old man in his body. You Mingxu thought to himself.

"But ......," she said, "since it is not for money or love, and there is no motive for vendetta killing." What else is possible other than a stranger committing a crime? ”

Yin Feng pressed his finger to his lips, looked at the sky and thought for a while, showed a smug smile, and said, "He has an act, or has he leaked something, very strongly, did Ah Xu think of it?" ”
