Winter is coming.

This city is rarely peaceful.

A month after the funeral, Xiao Ning has not appeared in the field of vision of others.

Yin Zetai wrapped in a down jacket and Xu Xingteng dangled to the entrance of the cemetery, his eyebrows flickering, "Are you sure you can find him here?" ”

"yes, I'm sure." Xu Xingteng nodded, did not linger in place, and walked towards the entrance of the cemetery.

According to the uncle who guarded the tomb, there was a man who stayed here all the time, coming in the morning and leaving in the evening.

Xu Xingteng had already determined that this person was Xiao Ning.

After the case was closed, the three met for the first time. Xiao Ning was emaciated, his beard and hair were messy, and he was dragging a bottle of liquor in his hand.

"That's how you spoil yourself?" Yin Zetai couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to take the liquor bottle from his hand.

"Give me back the wine." Xiao Ning's face was expressionless, and his voice had no temperature.

Yin Zetai threw the wine bottle aside, "Your sister doesn't want to see you like this." "It's always been ...... Such a comforting one.

Xiao Ning was short of breath, "You fucking shut up." After speaking, he was about to start hitting someone, waving his arms high and clenching his fists.

Xu Xingteng naturally acted as an intermediary and grabbed Xiao Ning, "Haven't you heard?" Something big has happened lately. ”

The purpose of the two of them to find Xiao Ning was also this, Zhou Qing originally planned to come to find Xiao Ning in person, but he was entangled in official business, so he sent Xu Xingteng and Yin Zetai to come.

Xiao Ning closed himself in his own world for a long time, ignoring the changes in the outside world at all, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care.

He sat down next to the tombstone and reached out to stroke the picture, "Whatever happens, it's none of my business, you guys go." ”

"Haven't you been having any weird dreams lately?" Yin Zetai gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it.

When Xiao Ning heard the word dream, he bounced up from the ground and slammed his fist at the door in front of Yin Zetai.

Nosebleeds splattered out and sprinkled on the gray-white tombstone, and Yin Zetai's head turned to the side heavily, and his neck seemed to be half dislocated.

Only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the wind was sluggish. The back of Xiao Ning's hand was numb, he dreamed, and he had nightmares every night.

It's all to blame for this dream, dreaming once, dying once, as if he was the real murderer.

If there's nothing you can do to stop this from happening, why let yourself know the truth?

Xiao Ning strode towards the outside of the cemetery, without worry.

The two of them are still messy in the wind, how can this be good?

……

The conference room of the Criminal Police Brigade.

Zhou Qing sat on the side, listening to the report of the people on the stage.

"The deceased is male, 24 years old, and a graduate student." Zhang Yu, dressed in civilian clothes, stretched out his hand and pointed to the picture on the electronic screen, "Like the previous six cases, a sharp weapon pierced the throat and killed with one blow." ”

In just one month, there were seven cases in the city, all of which were homicides.

Xiao Ning disappeared, and these cases could only be temporarily transferred to Qian Hao, Zhang Yu and the original team as a collaborator.

Seven cases, from Monday to Sunday, without a break in between, seemed to be a provocation to the police.

However, the scene was treated fairly cleanly, and nothing was left except the victim and the victim's blood.

Even the simplest fingerprints, hairs, and footprints were not extracted.

It was a rather violent killing, and there was not even a sign of resistance.

"Analyze what these dead people have in common." Zhou Qing was under pressure from above, and he had nothing to do now, so he could only send someone to find Xiao Ning.

Zhang Yu turned out all the previous photos of the scene and compared them one by one, "The dead were all fatal with one blow, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene." The deceased themselves have nothing to do with it, and if we have to say it, we can only say that they are graduate students. ”

Zhou Qing flipped through the information at hand, and there were seven people, all of whom were graduate students of University A.

But these graduate students have nothing to do with each other and come from various colleges and majors.

"Indiscriminate killing, anyone can be the target of the murderer, and these dead people have another common characteristic." Li Ke stood up and pointed to the electronic screen, "Gender: male." ”

Gender: Male?

The police officers below are discussing, what does this have to do with the case?

Li Ke just said the phenomenon he had discovered, and he didn't mean anything else, he sat back in place with the corners of his mouth curled.

Xiao Ning was not there, they were like headless flies, scurrying around.

"When a murderer kills, there must be a direction, there must be a goal. From Monday to Sunday, seven people had died, and we didn't even see the fox's tail. Zhou Qing slammed his fist on the table and made a muffled sound, "I limit you to find clues within 3 days." ”

This is also the last notice sent to him from above, and the clues must be found within 3 days.

Zhou Qing left the conference room and collided with Yin Zetai, who was walking towards him.

The expressions of the two people were not very good, Zhou Qing stared at his face, "What about people?" ”

Xu Xingteng came up, "Found it." ”

"That's great. What about people? Zhou Qing poked his head out and looked around.

Xu Xingteng felt a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "The person has indeed been found, but he is unwilling to follow us back." ”

These words happened to be heard by Qian Hao, he was holding a notebook in his hand, his expression was anxious, and his steps were a little hurried, "Who doesn't want to come back?" ”

But soon thinking of the answer, Qian Hao's lips trembled violently, "If you don't want to come back, you don't want to come back, can't we solve the case without him from one of our criminal police brigades?" ”

He left angrily, and Yin Zetai waved his fist fiercely in the direction he left, "It's not that I said, you really can't solve the case." ”

Zhou Qing was a little surprised, but this was also a reasonable thing, "You help Qian Hao, try to let him come back by the way." ”

The case seems simple, and if you can find the slightest clue, you can catch the killer almost immediately.

But the complication of this case is that the murderer left no trace.

went down, Qian Hao led some people to the scene.

Seven of the dead, without exception, died at school.

Xu Xingteng looked around, "There are surveillance videos in most parts of this school, have you seen the surveillance videos?" ”

Qian Hao looked like an idiot, "Do you still need to say this?" The school's surveillance footage has been checked, and nothing has been found. ”

"So this murderer managed to avoid all the surveillance footage? It's impossible......" Xu Xingteng thought thoughtfully, reaching out and kneading his temples.

"Since you don't believe it, I'll leave it to you to retrieve and view the surveillance footage." Qian Hao did not refute and walked towards the location of the crime.

The huge campus can only be described as bleak now.

The girl in the sweater hurried past with a few books in her arms, as if something was chasing her.

"It's a good university......" Xu Xingteng's voice didn't fall, and Yin Zetai continued, "It's a good university, and these murder cases have become hell on earth." From the time I entered the school gate to now, this is the fifth time. ”
