Chapter 8: Black Goat (3)

When dying, it is the most difficult to rest.

I don't know when it started, the temperature suddenly dropped rapidly, just like the heavy snow outside the window at this moment, obviously Wen Xuan hadn't seen the slightest movement before going to bed last night, but when he walked out of the door and saw the heavy layer of snow on the street, his heart was inexplicably a little flustered.

What made him feel anxious and flustered this morning was not the sudden snowfall, but the case that had plagued him for a long time.

He thought so, and at this time, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and he tightened his clothes and continued to walk in the crowd.

And the crowd and the noisy and noisy sound in the streets at this moment did not calm him down, on the contrary, it only made him more annoyed.

It's Wednesday, and according to their previous speculation, today is the time for the killer to mail the package again.

But until now, there has been no substantial progress in the case.

The lack of physical evidence, the lack of clues, and the murderer did not even leave a shadow in the surveillance.

No fingerprints were left, and the only clues left at the scene were one footprint, and the other footprints were erased by the murderer when he dragged the body.

Just as he was thinking about all the clues in his mind, he suddenly felt a light flash in his mind, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

"Wait. Monitor? Wen Xuan began to tremble at this moment as if he had been suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning.

"Monitor, monitor." He muttered to himself as if he was in a demon, and when he thought of something, he hurried towards the police station.

When he arrived at the police station, Xu Lai also happened to come to the elevator entrance, and when Wen Xuan saw his swollen eyes, he knew that he definitely didn't sleep well yesterday.

At this time, Wen Xuan didn't have time to be polite to Xu Lai, and asked straight to the point: "Xu Lai, have you checked the monitoring of the crime scene yesterday?" ”

Xu Lai was stunned for a moment and said: "Haven't we seen the surveillance cameras there, and there are no suspicious people." ”

"No, no, it must be something that we overlooked, since he is going to move the body from the first crime scene to the scene where we found the body, then he must go through the surveillance area. And carrying such a large corpse, even if he wrapped the corpse, it would look suspicious. But what is it that makes you consciously ignore this suspicion? It must be something we overlooked, quick, take me to see the surveillance footage. ”

"Huh? Good. ”

The two of them walked into the monitoring room and called up the surveillance footage of East Street.

At this time, Wen Xuan pointed to the date in the picture and said, "Adjust the time forward to three weeks ago." Play at eight times faster playback. ”

Xu Lai adjusted the monitoring step by step according to what Wen Xuan said, and the two of them stared at the monitoring intently, refusing to let go of any detail. After about half an hour, Wen Xuan said, "Sixteen times." Xu Lai also adjusted the magnification to sixteen times according to his words.

By the time the footage in the surveillance finally reached twenty-three o'clock last weekend night, the two of them had been watching it for a full fourteen hours.

After viewing the monitoring for such a long time, normal people have long felt bored and don't want to watch it anymore. Even Xu Lai was a little sleepy at the moment.

At this moment, Wen Xuan suddenly said, "Go back for ten minutes." Hurry up and bring the playback rate back to normal. ”

At this time, the two people held their breath and stared closely at the empty monitoring screen, and the only sound that could be heard in the entire monitoring room was the extremely low breathing sound of two people.

Suddenly, they noticed that the surveillance footage had become pitch black, as if something had blocked it from above.

Xu Lai subconsciously slapped the table, and was just about to speak, but was stopped by Wen Xuan and said, "Don't worry, the weather in the past few weeks has been very windy because of the cold air. Keep waiting. ”

For five minutes, the two of them stared at the pitch-black screen, and except for the occasional flash of a brief glimpse of a shade blown by the night wind, they saw no other useful clues.

Just when Xu Lai was about to lose patience because he was too anxious, suddenly most of the picture was revealed, and the objects that blocked the surveillance were swayed by the wind. The next moment, a figure appeared around the corner of the corridor.

And after a few seconds, I don't know if the thing blocking the surveillance was taken down or blown away by the wind.

Just as Xu Lai was excitedly about to rewind the picture back to the time when the figure appeared, Wen Xuan pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching for half an hour." If no one else appears in the next frame, then we can lock on to the suspect. ”

Xu Lai, who was dissuaded, pressed his excited mind and continued to watch the monitoring with peace of mind, and after another half an hour, Wen Xuan rubbed his eyes, and the long eye work made his eyes start to sour again.

He patted Xu Lai on the shoulder and said, "It's your turn." I'm going to wash my face. With that, he walked out of the monitoring room.

After arriving at the bathroom, he had just turned on the faucet when he heard a sarcastic voice in his ears: "You're such an idiot." ”

After hearing the voice, he raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and slowly raised his head and showed him a weird smile, as if mocking him for doing so much useless work, but he didn't know that the answer was actually by his side all along, or he was laughing at his cowardice, knowing the answer but not daring to reveal it: "Do you know why that ghost found you?"

Because you smell of a murderer. ”

Wen Xuan didn't speak, but lowered his head and buried his head in the water, letting the cold water constantly stimulate his skin, stimulate his senses and brain, and he needed to start to become conscious.

When he raised his head again and looked at the mirror, he found that he was still there, Wen Xuan looked at him indifferently: "Say it." What exactly are you trying to say? ”

In the mirror, he showed a strange expression, and he sneered: "From ancient times to the present, only women remember the taste of women. You say, what do I want to say? What do you think? ”

As soon as Wen Xuan wanted to speak, he heard the person in the mirror laugh and said, "Now you are like William back then, and your fixed thinking causes your thinking to become one-sided and rigid once you identify something. However, you haven't thought that there is anyone in this world who stipulates that a perverted murderer who likes to abuse and kill women must be men?

And, look at the clues you've collected over the years. Proficient in medical knowledge, accurate dissection techniques, and chemical supplies that ordinary people can't get, and some anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Don't you think that when you put these conditions together, there are fewer and fewer people who can be questionable?

Think about that corpse again, the marks of her leg being cut, the precise use of a saw to perfectly separate the leg bone from the hip bone, do you feel familiar? How many other people can do this kind of thing, except for those of you who deal with corpses a lot? Actually, you already knew it, but you're a coward who doesn't dare to put your friend in a cage in front of yourself. People like you...... Heh......"

Wen Xuan stared blankly at him in the mirror, every word he said hit his chest like a hammer, and the water on his hair slowly slid down into the sink.

Tick.

This voice reached Wen Xuan's ears, like the sound of blood dripping to the ground.

He ran to the monitoring room as if he had suddenly come back to his senses and went crazy, and the moment he pushed the door open, he heard Xu Lai look at him excitedly and say, "It's closed, everything fits." Come, Wenxuan, you see, this is a shoe print left at the scene, although its size is forty-three yards, but you can see that there is a clear difference between the focus point of the tip of its front end and the focus point of the center of the foot and the heel. It looks too shallow, and a person has to force himself when dragging a corpse, so this kind of shoe print is impossible.

At the time, we were wondering if something was wrong, but you see, this person in the surveillance, even though she's wearing a mask, you see she's definitely a woman.

And the strange shoe prints at the scene are also because she wants to mislead our thinking, so she deliberately wears plus-size shoes. This can finally be determined, and the girl in the video is the suspect. I'm going to investigate the surveillance at all the locations involved right away! You can rest for a while. ”

After listening to Xu Lai's words again, Wen Xuan's whole body stayed in place completely, only feeling that his head was a little dizzy.

Then his eyes went black, and he fainted completely.

Before he fainted, he suddenly saw the black goat in the joke.
