On a winter morning, the sky is dark and soft. Vast expanses of dark green forests stand in the morning light, and the mountains seem more and more silent and cold.

There is still no one on the first floor of the villa. Jian Yao walked up the stairs and saw the hidden iron door.

The first time she stepped into Bo Jinyan's "territory", she subconsciously put her steps very lightly.

"Bo Jinyan? Bo Jinyan? ”

No one answered.

Jian Yao walked to the door of the first room and stopped.

The door was open, and the light inside was not very good, and it was dark. On the table by the window, there were stacks of papers and a few books, which was very messy. There was a large sofa next to it, and a blanket was placed on it. There was a celadon teacup on the coffee table, and the tea in it had not yet been drunk.

On the wall opposite the sofa, there is a large whiteboard. It was plastered with photographs and a lot of words written in black oil.

Jian Yao walked to the whiteboard and watched quietly.

There are nine photos in total, and they are the missing teenagers. They are all rural children, and their simple and spiritual faces are still full of childishness. There are three photos with the names of the places under them, which are "Seongnam Market, Railway Station, and Building Materials City".

Jian Yao had heard Li Xunran say that this was the clear location of the three children's disappearance—because they had mentioned it to family or friends before they disappeared. But the other children don't know the exact point of disappearance.

Further down, a similar line of place names was written, including the Chengdong Market, the bus station, and the farmers' market...... Wait a minute. Jian Yao thought about it for a moment and understood: these places have the same characteristics - a large flow of people, many game halls, video halls, and Internet cafes, and children love to go. So it could also be a place where criminals haunt.

But these places are scattered all over the city, and if you want to find criminals, you are afraid that you will be looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jian Yao looked down again, and the handwriting was very confusing, mixed with Chinese and English, and some words were only half written, and they couldn't read it. There is even a small turtle drawn in the corner, although it is a stick figure, but it is lifelike and cute.

When Bo Dashen analyzes the case, he likes to draw turtles to help the fun? The corners of Jian Yao's mouth curved upward.

But in these handwritings, there are a few words that are very clear and powerful, and appear several times.

"There are no witnesses."

No eyewitnesses?

This is now a well-known disadvantage, why should he emphasize?

Jian Yao couldn't figure it out, but she still took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Li Xunran: "Kp: There are no witnesses." ”

——

Jian Yao made a decision last night, and of course she was the first to inform Li Xunran.

Li Xunran immediately arrived at her house, and said to her: "I want to steal the teacher." ”

Jian Yao was actually not too surprised: "How to steal?" ”

"What he said, his analysis, his views, his theories...... You can write down the essence of his thoughts and tell me. Li Xunran said, "This is not an infringement, you can know it, I can know it." ”

Jian Yao replied: "I don't understand criminal psychology, I can only try my best." ”

So now, Jian Yao texted him the first keypoint she found.

Li Xunran quickly replied: "????? ”

Jian Yao smiled slightly, and as soon as she put down her phone, she heard footsteps outside the door. Bo Jinyan was wearing a white nightgown and walked in unhurriedly.

This is a little different from the meeting situation that Jian Yao expected.

Yesterday he was indeed arrogant, conceited, and vicious, and once again showed his low emotional intelligence with no regard for the feelings of others. But in the end, the suit and leather shoes, the temperament is outstanding, and the nobility is different from ordinary people. But at this moment, it is still the same face, with a fair complexion, clear eyebrows and eyes, a high nose and thin lips, delicate and handsome. But his face was not very good, and his eyes were indifferent - as if he was very unhappy.

And he was barefoot, and he didn't wear shoes and socks.

He walked straight in front of Jian Yao and turned his head to look at her. Jian Yao thought he was going to say something, but he didn't seem to see anything, and continued to walk forward with an indifferent expression. When he got to the table, he picked up his teacup and turned to look out.

Jian Yao wasn't in a hurry—why did she take the initiative to talk to him?

The two went downstairs one after the other.

When he got to the kitchen, he bent down to take a carton of milk from the fridge and put it in the microwave; a few slices of toast, put in the toaster; Throw another bottle of jam onto the table. Then he sat down at the table, staring straight at the table.

Jian Yao stood at the door of the kitchen and waited, thinking that he should talk about work. He suddenly put his arms on the table, buried his head, and lay down.

Jian Yao understood.

When the microwave "ding" sounded, he looked up and stood up, brought all the food to the table, and ate it with a blank face.

Jian Yao asked, "I slept late yesterday?" ”

"Hmm." He let out a low grunt in his throat, a little hoarse.

After a while, he suddenly looked up at her, his eyes were sharp under his dark brows: "You have changed your dressing style." ”

Jian Yao looked at the small black skirt on her body and nodded. This is still to match his dressing style, she specially changed the formal clothes used in the job interview.

He stared at her, his gaze intent.

Jian Yao had been stared at for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he shook his head: "It's not as pleasing as it used to be, it's better to change it back." ”

Jian Yao looked at him with a little surprise, but he continued to eat unhurriedly and didn't look at her again.

Women love to hear words that praise their appearance. Especially from his mouth, such a sentence suddenly came out.

Jian Yao also smiled at him rarely: "Okay." ”

Bo Jinyan stood up after eating, although he was still wearing a nightgown and barefoot, his expression returned to arrogance.

"Rookie assistant, please sort out the case materials upstairs, and then take them to the car outside and wait for me."

——

On the side of the road closest to the villa, a police car was parked, and the driver had been here for a while.

Jian Yao sat in the back seat and looked at the information for a while, and saw Bo Jinyan walking out of the path.

He was still wearing a strict suit, and he was wearing a black coat on the outside, which made his complexion more and more pale. However, he wore a coffee-colored scarf around his neck and a large mask on his face, revealing only a pair of slender black eyes.

He sat down next to Jian Yao, and then took off his scarf and mask and threw it aside. The handsome face looked faint: "It's time to go." ”

Jian Yao: "Why do you wear a mask?" ”

He gave her a strange look: "Don't you feel cold?" ”

Jian Yao: "...... I don't think so. ”

But she also understood. Many northerners go to the south and can't adapt to the low temperatures of winter. Bo Jinyan almost grew up abroad, and he may not have adapted to the soil and water, so he wore a mask. It's just that he goes his own way, but southerners don't have the habit of wearing masks, so it's no wonder that people are considered "weirdos".

The car walked for a while, and actually left the city and got on the national highway.

Jian Yao asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Bo Jin Yan sat stretched, his tall body almost occupied most of the space in the back seat, and Jian Yao only had a small corner left. But he didn't care, one hand was still on his knee and tapped lightly, and he lazily replied, "Go get his address." ”

"He? Who are you talking about? ”

A smile appeared on Bo Jinyan's lips: "Of course it's our criminal." ”

——

Police cars are speeding along the national highway, and the trees on both sides are desolate, all of which are the scenery of withering in winter.

Jian Yao looked at his indifferent side face and continued to ask, "What do you mean...... There is only one criminal? And a native? "Li Xunran had always suspected that it was a human trafficking gang that committed the crime; Or is it a river dragon in a foreign place and a continuous crime. But Bo Jinyan's statement negates both of these situations.

Bo Jinyan glanced at her: "It's not too stupid." In the ten cases, the victims were similar, the time interval was orderly, the modus operandi was similar, the level was extremely stable and never missed, and there were distinct personal characteristics - it could only be one person. ”

Jian Yao frowned slightly, deep in thought. After a while, take out your phone and send a text message.

Bo Jinyan didn't even look at her, and asked coldly, "Report to your little boyfriend again?" ”

Jian Yao stiffened slightly, and looked up at him: "He's not my boyfriend." ”

Bo Jinyan ignored her, closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat and began to sleep. Jian Yao asked, "Do you mind if I report?" ”

"Why should I mind this frivolous thing?"

——

The police car eventually stopped in a township.

Along the national highway, houses are built on both sides. There are small white buildings with four or five floors, and there are also low, old wooden houses.

Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao came to one of the more dilapidated wooden houses. This is the home of the first person to go missing, Fu Mingyi, and the location of the disappearance is unknown.

Bo Jinyan only told Jian Yao that he came this time to find out the exact location of the child's disappearance, but did not say why. Jian Yao pressed the doubts in her heart and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The house is still barren and gloomy, with only three rooms and simple and old furniture. The faces of Fu Mingyi's parents were also gloomy and haggard.

——

According to the previous record, Fu Mingyi left home early that morning and arrived in Tong City at about 8 o'clock. He had just turned 15 years old, was a junior high school student, and went to Tongshi to live at his aunt's house for half a month and attend cram school. But after a few hours, my aunt didn't see him, and when I called his house again, I learned that he was missing.

However, after Bo Jinyan carefully questioned the parents, he did not get any new clues - the child did not tell anyone where he would go.

——

Soon it was noon.

Jian Yao comforted the parents in the outhouse, and when she walked into Fu Mingyi's former bedroom, she saw Bo Jinyan standing tall in the middle of the room, staring at the sundries on the bed, with an extremely focused expression.

Jian Yao walked over and saw that the bed was full of children's toys: masks, spinning tops, many game cards, and a simple handheld game console. There are also some empty cans under the bed, which should have been picked up by the child for money. Now that the people are gone, even these have become a memorial for their parents.

She asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Bo Jinyan didn't seem to hear it, and continued to ponder. After a few seconds, he slowly turned his head and looked at her with extremely indifferent eyes: "Go out." ”

Jian Yao turned around and left. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard his faint voice come again: "You also go to find it, your brain is not an ornament." Any information related to Fu Mingyi, I want. The clue to where he will go must be hidden in this room. ”

——

Jian Yao is now accustomed to his way of speaking, and she is not angry, and she is even more lazy to pay attention to him. She walked around the yard and was stunned when she saw the poultry shed behind her.

When I walked over, I saw that there were dozens of chickens in it, which should be one of the main sources of income for this family. There is also a pot of eggs on the cabinet next to the chicken shed.

Jian Yao was slightly stunned, turned around and went to the front room to find Fu Mingyi's mother.

——

After a while, Jian Yao returned to the door of the child's house again.

"I've found something, but it probably won't work." She said.

Bo Jinyan didn't look at her, still expressionless: "Say." ”

Jian Yao looked at his handsome and quiet side face, thinking that there was a world-renowned expert in front of him (although it didn't look like it at all), and felt that he would definitely be ridiculed if his words came out.

She spoke: "Fu Mingyi's grades are average, and he occasionally fails; He has a good relationship with his classmates and loves to play game consoles. But I don't have much money at home, so I hang out in Internet cafes and game halls a lot of the time......"

When she spoke, Bo Jinyan kept thinking to herself, and she didn't know whether she heard it or not.

Jian Yao continued to say quickly: "On the day Fu Mingyi disappeared, I took a basket of eggs and brought them to my aunt ......"

"Stop!" Bo Jinyan suddenly interrupted her, staring at her with clear and sharp eyes, "How do you know?" ”

Jian Yao replied: "I saw that there was a chicken shed in the back, and I thought that since they wanted their children to board at my aunt's house for a while, they would definitely bring some greeting gifts, such as native eggs." I asked his mom, and he did bring it that day. And I used to often deliver eggs to my aunt's house. But these shouldn't be of much use, and nothing else is to be discovered......"

Jian Yao's voice stopped abruptly because Bo Jin Yan suddenly took a step forward and bent down to take her into his arms.

The afternoon sun is warm and the house is quiet. Jian Yao's body stiffened, and Bo Jin Yan had already let go of her, but those clear eyes were still staring at her, and there was a very ...... in them A gentle smile.

"How did you come up with that? Bring eggs to my aunt! You're a genius! ”

Jian Yao: "This is the basic human ...... sophistication"

Bo Jinyan smiled: "Fu Ziyu said that you are knowledgeable and reasonable, and you will complement me." Oh, and he's got right, too. ”

Jian Yao: "......"

Bo Jinyan had already turned on his phone and pointed to a place on the map of the city: "He disappeared here." ”

At first glance, Jian Yao saw that it was a farmers' market. Ask: "Why?" ”

Bo Jinyan's attitude at the moment was very gentle and good, and he replied with a smile: "Comeon! He was carrying a basket of eggs, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere, so why didn't he go to his aunt's house in the first place? Will you carry a basket of eggs to the game hall and play? Have you ever seen a boy like this?

He likes to play games and doesn't have enough money. So the biggest possibility is that he probably secretly sold the eggs that day. And he often delivers eggs to his aunt's house, once or twice without being detected. Near the farmer's market, there is a game hall and not far from his aunt's house. ”

After hearing this, Jian Yao nodded: "But what's the use of knowing where he disappeared?" ”

Bo Jinyan's smile deepened suddenly.

——

The two returned to the car and returned to Tongshi along the national highway in the twilight.

Bo Jinyan held a notebook and lowered his head to write quickly. Jian Yao looked at him with her chin in her hand, and at the same time sent the third message to Li Xunran.

After a while, Bo Jinyan threw the notebook into her arms: "Call them." ”

Jian Yao picked up the notebook and read a few lines, her heart trembling slightly. I saw that it read:

"Male, 25-30 years old, local. Thin body and ordinary appearance;

Living alone within three kilometers of the farmer's market and working nearby;

There are no cars;

Strong communication skills, good at words, often in and out of game halls, video halls and other places. ”

Jian Yao looked at him: "These ...... Why? Why did the criminal live near where the first missing person disappeared? Why is he 25 to 30 years old? ”

Bo Jinyan put his hands behind his head and replied, "Didn't you look at the whiteboard today?" The reasons are all above. ”

So Jian Yao began to try to remember, but he opened the map on his mobile phone, pointed and said, "Tell them to search this forest east of the farmers' market immediately." Call us as soon as you find out. ”

Jian Yao's heart trembled and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Bo Jinyan glanced at her: "You have already thought of it, why are you still asking me?" ”

Jian Yao's face changed slightly, Bo Jin Yan smiled, that smile was extraordinarily bright, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his deep voice was extremely beautiful: "Dear assistant miss, I told you - only the most vicious criminals will be arrested." Traffickers? What an unpopular thing! Serial killers are my thing. ”
