On the way back to the city bureau, I called Jinzi, and he said that he had just returned to the team, and the two of us had met and quickly told him about what had happened in the Shen family.

The technical department found the surveillance footage of the intersection at 3:30 in the morning, and I went with Kaneko to inspect it.

In the twilight, a man in black pants wearing a cap and a mask appears in the corner of the surveillance footage.

He was in a hurry, holding an object in his right hand, which I thought was what the witnesses were talking about.

The black shadow disappeared from a screen, and the police officer of the technical team called up the surveillance on the other side of the road, and soon saw the murderer appear in the picture, he walked towards a silver-gray car, opened the door and sat down, and then the car drove out of the surveillance range again.

The police officer of the technical team said that he was contacting the traffic police department to retrieve information about the car from more intersection monitoring.

My eyes were glued to the computer screen and I always felt that something was not right.

"Kaneko, you put the two videos again."

Teddy Kim operated the mouse to reopen the screen.

"Wait a minute." I reached out and pressed directly on his hand, which was still holding the mouse, and slowly dragged the progress bar.

"It's six seconds off, and if you look closely, the thing in his hand is gone." I tugged at the gold as if I had discovered a new world, and that really caught his attention.

"I'll see." Jin Zi withdrew his hand and held the frame on the bridge of his nose, followed the hint I gave, nodded, and said, "Something is thrown in the blind spot of the surveillance, hurry up and notify the land team, maybe you can find it." ”

While Jin Zi was calling Lu Lingyun, I sat in front of the computer and looked at the surveillance screen over and over.

Hunter···

The height is not short, how can it be about 1.8 meters, two years ago it was twenty-five or six, and now it is twenty-seven or eight. It's a pity that he always wears a hat and mask, and there is no way to compare it with the portrait provided by Shen Mengchao.

The most infuriating thing is the guy's dress, hats and masks are not uncommon in the north, and no one will feel strange even if he walks on the road.

Kaneko hung up the phone and sat next to me with a long sigh.

I opened my mouth and asked, "Has Brother Lu gone?" ”

"Well, go, I'm afraid the Marines will be in trouble this time."

"How?"

"The police are responsible for the deaths of Shen Dongqiang and Shen Mengying, we were negligent and did not expect the murderer to retaliate in such a short time."

I stared at Jin Teddy with a frown, and asked him puzzledly: "Then it can't all be blamed on Brother Lu, after all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen." ”

"It's hard to say, it depends on the meaning of the above. By the way, Xiaoyan, you said that the murderer deliberately created a secret room, and I have thought of several possibilities for this matter. ”

I listened intently, wondering how the gold was analyzed.

"Murder in a closed room is nothing more than creating an alibi, excluding the time of the crime, pretending to commit suicide, I think the murderer is not trying to pretend to commit suicide, as for the alibi, first of all, we have to lock the suspect before we can do it. Did he already know that the police would be able to name him as a suspect soon? ”

I shook the portrait in my hand and said, "We all have his appearance, what other suspect do we need?" If I ever meet this face, I'll take it in minutes. ”

"If it was really the hunter who did it, it would be really difficult for me to analyze his thinking pattern." Kim Teddy took off her glasses, looking a little tired.

When the police station took over in the evening, Lu Lingyun came back and called all the colleagues of the task force for an emergency meeting, and I sat in the corner and listened quietly.

The look on his face made me feel panicked.

Obviously he was already working hard, but the murderer didn't leave him a chance to breathe.

I am upset for Lu Lingyun and want to help him from the bottom of my heart, but what else can I do? I didn't understand anything other than the messages sent to me by the victim in the nightmare.

Lu Lingyun opened the whiteboard in the conference room and played several scenes, all of which were the monitoring content that Jin Zi and I saw in the afternoon.

"Let's take a look, this person is the suspect who killed Shen Dongqiang and Shen Mengying this morning. He fled in a silver-grey Camry sedan without a license plate and fled south on Lingdong Road and lost his whereabouts. After Lu Lingyun finished speaking, the colleagues of the task force began to record.

"This is the autopsy report I just got from the medical examiner."

The whiteboard on the wall projects two materials by Shen Dongqiang and Shen Mengying.

Both of them had strangulation marks on their elbows, corpse spots of varying degrees on their cheeks, they had been forcibly fed before their deaths, stomach tissues were dissected, and residual tranquilizers were found, as well as an undissolved paper ball.

The yellow folded paper was printed out in Songti characters: More people will die next time.

The paper found in Shen Dongqiang's and Shen Mengying's stomachs was exactly the same.

I saw Jin Zi sitting at the conference table wanting to speak, but Lu Lingyun nodded.

"Lu, the murderer is provoking the police, and he is probably hinting to us that if we continue to investigate the next time, we will directly detonate the murder scene and cause greater casualties."

The officers of the task force in the audience began to talk to each other, and most of them agreed with Kim Teddy's analysis.

Lu Lingyun lowered his head and seemed to have been thinking about the problem, raised his head sharply and glanced at everyone, and said: "Even if this is the murderer's intimidation, the police will not give up the pursuit of him, no one can go beyond the law, not to mention that he is still a murderer with several lives on his back." Now, I want you to understand what kind of opponent we are facing. ”

As he spoke, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and four people walked in.

The first two were field colleagues, carrying a white plastic bag containing a cylindrical object, about 30 centimeters in size.

My eyes lit up, and it looked like they had found something the killer had left behind.

The two people who came in behind were very unusual.

They wore regular police uniforms, with flowers and bars on their shoulders, straight waists, and extraordinary appearances.

As soon as these two people walked in, the police officers of the task force got up one after another, and I quickly got up from the corner.

Lu Lingyun's eyes stayed on them, he didn't seem to feel nervous, and even with a hint of helplessness, he threw the remote control in his hand on the conference table.

"Lu team, Director Xing was sent by the provincial department to assist in the investigation of this case." The police officer who walked at the end spoke.

The man standing in front of Lu Lingyun had a slight smile on his face and said, "Lingyun, long time no see." ”

"Is there anything you can wait until the meeting is over?" Lu Lingyun took the evidence from his colleagues in the field and ignored the provincial commissioner.

"Okay, then I'll sit down and listen to you first." The man known as Director Xing waved his hand at the task force and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he walked to the chair at the farthest end of the conference table, getting closer and closer to me.

He looked at me, and I looked at him, looking at each other, and I saw suspicion and confusion in his eyes.
