Wu Duan received a call from Xiong Sichao early the next morning.

Seeing the caller ID, he was a little surprised, because his relationship with Xiong Sichao had become so distant that there was no need to call to say hello before leaving.

Out of politeness, Wu Duan picked up the phone.

His imagination was completely different, as soon as he picked up the phone, it was Xiong Sichao's panicked voice.

"Help me, old Wu! I can only find you! Xiong Sichao was a little incoherent.

Hearing such a panicked voice, Wu Duan chuckled in his heart, and reflexively entered the working state.

"You speak slowly."

Wu Duan's voice was very cold, and the other end of the phone said, "My sister has an accident", and then fell silent.

He could hear the sound of big breathing, and Xiong Sichao was trying to calm himself down.

"What's wrong?" Wu Duan asked again.

"Just now my mother called and said that my sister had an accident, where did she ......come from?"

Wu Duan immediately extracted the key information of "Lane" and continued to ask, "What's going on?" ”

"My mom didn't tell, and I don't know."

Wu Duan frowned, I'm afraid things are not good.

Xiong Sichao asked him for help, explaining that what had happened to his sister had reached the point where police force needed to be used—probably police force had already been used.

When the police find the victim, they usually contact the deceased's immediate family as soon as they confirm their identity.

Parents or children are the most frequent contacts in this immediate family, and siblings are all in the back row.

Xiong Sichao has just sent his sister to school and has not yet left Mocheng, if his sister calls her family for help, the most important thing to contact is her brother who is still in Mocheng, not her parents who are 100 kilometers away.

Contact the parents first, and explain that it is likely that the victim's family was contacted by the police. In other words, the situation may be bad.

"Is it your home that the police contacted?" Wu Duan wanted to confirm his thoughts.

"Uh-huh." Xiong Sichao said.

Wu Duan probably had a number in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that Xiong Sichao's speech was already upside down, and it was too time-consuming to ask him, so he simply covered the microphone of his mobile phone and said to Yan Sixian: "Xiao Yan, do me a favor." ”

"Gladly." Yan Sixian smiled and raised his chin at him.

"Go to the command center to check if there has been a murder in any alley in Mocheng from last night to today, or...... The body was found, and the victim was a female student who had just been admitted to university. ”

"Gotcha!"

Five minutes later, Yan Sixian returned.

"There is really a homicide, the deceased Xiong Ruirui, a freshman female student, only went to the school yesterday morning to report, and there is a bed in the school dormitory, but she did not stay in the dormitory last night.

It is unknown what she experienced last night, except that early this morning, a cleaner found her body in a trash can in a fork in the alley of Jinhua Road.

The condition of the body and the cause of death are unknown. ”

After a pause, Yan Sixian asked, "Do you want to take this case?" ”

Wu Duan also hesitated, he didn't answer Yan Sixian, but said to the other end of the phone: "Is Xiong Ruirui your sister?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wu Duan sighed, "You can take a taxi to the Jinping Branch now, and your sister's affairs will be taken care of there." ”

"Old Wu! Lao Wu, you have to help me! ”

Sensing that Wu Duan wanted to hang up the phone, Xiong Sichao obviously raised his voice, as if he was about to grasp the last straw.

Wu Duanxu raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat the other party's shoulder to show comfort, but of course he just patted it empty.

He pondered his words and said: "The situation may not be good, you have to be mentally prepared, especially to take care of the elderly at home." ”

"Exactly...... My sister she ...... What's wrong? ”

Xiong Sichao didn't dare to ask the word "death" after all.

Wu Duan didn't want to say more, he hadn't done anything to notify the family of the deceased for several years, and the other party was his former close playmate, and when he was a child, he also took Xiong Sichao's sister to play crazy in the village, and it was too cruel for him to inform him.

In the end, Wu Duan only said: "In short, I will greet my colleagues in the Jinping Branch and ask them to take care of you, or, if necessary, the case may also be transferred to me." ”

After speaking, Wu Duan hurriedly hung up the phone on the grounds of "something at hand".

Yan Sixian looked at him with great interest, and waited for him to hang up the phone before saying, "Don't care about your friends, it's not your style." ”

"Just because I am an acquaintance, I can't face it, and the grief of those strangers always seems to be separated from me by a layer - or rather, I deliberately isolate those strong feelings so as not to affect judgment - and I can put myself in the shoes of the person who is being asked to contact them.

But Xiong Sichao is different, and he and his family are about to explode with emotions that I feel like I can't handle. ”

"Tut-tut." Yan Sixian shook his head and said, "So dodge?" ”

Wu Duan shrugged, "There's no way, the talent is average, I can only try to avoid making mistakes." ”

However, Wu Duanzhen deserved to have an open mouth, and before noon, the case was transferred to the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Bureau, and Xiong Sichao, the family of the deceased, was handed over together.

In the small conference room of the city bureau, Wu Duan and the captain of the criminal police of the sub-bureau who came to transfer the case discussed the case, Yan Sixian sat quietly and listened, glanced at Wu Duan from time to time, and found that he had no emotions outside of work, and secretly admired it in his heart.

"So, you mean, he's doing it again?" Wu Duandao.

"It's possible that we found similarities with previous serial murders, especially ......" The other party handed a photo to Wu Duan.

It was a picture of a corpse's feet, the soles of its feet, to be exact.

The scars on the center of the girl's right foot are impressively arranged in a longitudinal arrangement.

"It's a unique trace of 'Smoke Scars' after committing the crime, right?"

Smoke scars. The police gave the murderer of a certain unsolved case a nickname.

He committed five crimes in three years, killing a total of five young women, and each time he killed someone, he would leave traces of cigarette butts burning on the soles of the corpses' feet, and the number of marks varied.

In addition, his murder methods are varied, such as drowning, strangulation, stabbing, etc...... The women who were killed were subjected to varying degrees of torture, such as having their hair ripped off and their teeth removed, but showed no signs of sexual assault. It can be said that there is no pattern to follow in the modus operandi of Smoke Scars.

This is a murderer with no flaws - at least so far the police have not found his flaws.

So Wu Duan asked, "Did the victim show any signs of torture?" ”

"There are restraint injuries, and judging from the appearance of the corpse, it seems that he has not been tortured, but he still has to wait for further autopsy - I think that if the case is to be transferred to the city bureau, the autopsy will be transferred to the same place, so that you can have first-hand information."

"Okay," Wu Duan said, "I'll meet this smoke scar." ”

Yan Sixian raised his eyebrows and gently hooked the corners of his mouth.

Finally, there is an interesting case.

Since beating him into the city bureau, all the murders he has encountered seem to him to be decent.

The so-called decent means that there is a clear motive for committing the crime, and through the investigation of the victim's interpersonal relationships, the murderer will sooner or later enter the police's sight.

Because of this, in theory, homicide cases are easier to solve than theft, robbery, and robbery cases.

Yan Sixian faintly hoped in his heart that he could have an opponent to help him break this boredom.

The case of Smoke Scar seems to meet his requirements in every way.

The indiscriminate killing, the sophisticated techniques, and the fact that there are few traces left behind, this case is no small challenge.

After completing the handover of the case and sending away the criminal police from the sub-bureau, Xiong Sichao began to hold Wu Duan again.

However, contrary to Wu Duan's expectations, Xiong Sichao did not want to die or live like ordinary victims' families to wash their faces with tears.

The smell of smoke on his body was strong, and it was clear that the cigarette helped him stabilize his mood.

Wu Duan patted him on the shoulder and said "festival condolences".

Xiong Sichao smiled bitterly.

He could still laugh, albeit wryly.

"Honestly, I don't know how I'm feeling right now." He said, "It's my sister who died, but I seem to be ...... It's not so sad either. ”

"Why?" Wu Duandao.

"Maybe there have been too many conflicts in the family in the past two years, and it's too difficult for them - to everyone in the family, including the children - children, it's really terrible......

Oh, our family...... I really don't have much affection and patience for them......

I'll just tell you about it, in the past two years, no one in my family can get used to it, and every day they are in a state of wishing for the other party to die quickly. ”

After speaking, I don't know if he was afraid of being suspected, he added: "I'm just making an analogy, we won't really kill our own families." ”

Wu Duan nodded, noncommittal.

He led Xiong Sichao to the small conference room where he had just discussed the case with the criminal police of the sub-bureau, arranged for the other party to sit down, poured water again, and then said: "Tell me everything you know about your sister, just start with you sending her to college." ”

Xiong Sichao organized the language.

"I helped her with her luggage, sent her to school, went through the enrollment procedures, and I was ready to go back...... Isn't it just looking for you to eat after that, you know it, I've had a good time in the past two years...... Hey, it's really not a human life......"

Wu Duan really felt that if he continued to talk about it, there would be no valuable information tomorrow, so he finally couldn't help but interrupt him and asked: "I remember, when we finished the college entrance examination, your parents personally sent you to the imperial capital when school started, and they almost beat gongs and drums, why, your sister sent you to school?" ”

"Hey, my family is like that, and you don't know it."

Wu Duan knew that Xiong Sichao's family was patriarchal.

"And how is your relationship with your sister? Do you know her? ”

Xiong Sichao shook his head blankly, and complained: "Adolescent little girl, it's very annoying, I came to hide." ”

Wu Duan was surprised by his indifference.

His own sister died unexpectedly, and she was lying on the forensic corpse bed at this moment, but he dared to comment like this.

Even if you are a stranger to the deceased, you wouldn't say that, would you?

Wu Duan felt unprovoked disgust in his heart, as if the changes in Xiong Sichao in front of him had touched a black spot on the carefree teenage time that the two spent together. It's like inadvertently taking a heavy blow from life: look, adults are so cold and selfish.

Wu Duan secretly clenched his fist, and his face did not change.

He continued: "What did you all say yesterday when you took your sister to school? ”

"What does she know about her little brat......"

This time, Wu Duan finally couldn't help it, he took out a serious expression and said: "I'm not chatting with you, the police are looking for you to understand the situation, and you can answer whatever you ask, am I clear enough?" ”

Xiong Sichao was stunned for a moment, and finally just nodded.

"Then continue with the question, what did you all say?"

"It's all about their school, there's really nothing to say...... Oh, and she asked me what I was going to do with her sister-in-law, who was my daughter-in-law. ”

"Processing? She said 'processing'? ”

Wu Duan really didn't want to label the deceased as bad, but in fact, his impression of this little girl was really not very good.

Xiong Sichao said: "That's pretty much it, I don't remember, anyway, I just asked her about her sister-in-law, I don't want to have anything to do with her, pay her tuition, pay her living expenses, and leave." ”

"There's nothing out of the ordinary about her?"

"Nope."

"Didn't you say who you were going to see in the evening?"

"Lao Wu, don't fix it, I really don't know anything, we all came from there, don't you know what you're like? There must be something I don't want to tell my parents. ”

Wu Duan suddenly got up and said with a strong emotion: "You think about it carefully, and then tell me what you think." ”

With that, he walked quickly out of the small conference room.

Xiong Sichao opened his mouth with a snort, Yan Sixian could see that he was also a little helpless, waved his hand and signaled him not to say anything first, and quickly followed Wu Duan.

Back in the office of the serious case group, Wu Duan paced back and forth.

After pacing twice, he suddenly stopped and said to Yan Sixian, "What is it?!" Tell me, what the hell?! ”

Yan Sixian pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down.

"Xiong Sichao is a little confused, but he is an ordinary person who is not good or bad, and he has the troubles and helplessness of ordinary people, what can he do? Being an ostrich is probably the best way, and over time, emotions degenerate and distort, normal.

Therefore, it is not worth getting angry with him. ”

Wu Duan nodded, "I know, it seems that it is unlikely that you want to get clues from Xiong Sichao." ”

Yan Sixian said: "Then where are you going to start?" ”

Using the case to divert Wu Duan's attention, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Sure enough, Wu Duan began to arrange work:

"Laugh and laugh! Check the communication records to see who she contacted before she died. ”

"I'm investigating!"

"Lai Xiangheng, take people to visit, regardless of teachers and classmates or anything else, in short, find all the people who have a good relationship with Xiong Ruirui, and mainly ask the deceased Xiong Ruirui if he knows any strange people."

Lai Xiangheng responded: "Don't worry, I can find out how many little boyfriends she has." ”

Wu Duan nodded, and turned to Feng Xiaoxiang again: "Also, Xiaoxiao, adjust the monitoring, I want to know this child's every move after leaving school." ”

"Gotcha!"

After explaining this, Wu Duan picked up his mobile phone, flipped out a number in the address book, and was about to dial it, but Yan Sixian quickly snatched the mobile phone.

"What are you doing?" Wu Duandao.

Yan Sixian pressed the hang up button, "Now is not the time to contact reporters." ”

"Serial murderers are likely to continue to commit crimes, and the public should be reminded to be careful."

"What if it wasn't Smoke Scar's case this time? Have you thought about the consequences? ”
