It was already dusk, and the sea and sky met outside the window, and it was dark. 〔 !! Only the waves kept crashing, and "whoa-whoa-" fell on people's ears in layers.

Inside the house, the lights were as bright as day, and everyone's faces were solemn.

A burst of coldness climbed onto Jian Yao's back. It is as if a snake swimming lightly brings a sense of presence to that person. She breathed quietly for a few seconds and said, "Jenny, that's my English name." ”

Everyone was surprised, and even An Yan suddenly raised his head.

Bo Jinyan also looked at her, and on her handsome face, her long eyes were as cold as ice.

"What are you nervous about?" Extremely flat sound.

Everyone was quiet, and they heard him say to Jian Yao unhurriedly: "'He' just said hello to you—this is the only thing he can do to you." ”

——

Ten minutes later.

Bo Jin Yan put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood under the white porch of the villa. A few steps ahead, Jian Yao was sitting in a technology car, and a technician was installing a bugging device and tracker for her. Two lean and tall armed policemen stood beside the car and guarded them.

Bo Jinyan looked at her smiling face at others, and his face was indifferent and calm.

He was familiar with that person's simple and mysterious way of passwording, so while An Yan's computer calculated the result, he had already read the answer in his heart.

At that time, I only felt a cold anger rushing into my chest.

Hmph, isn't the provocation that he thinks he is clever trying to disturb his thinking?

So after only a few seconds, he completely calmed down.

say hellojenny.

He already knew what "he" was going to do next.

Say hello to Jian Yao? Every time "he" says hello, it comes at the cost of his life.

So the next thing he wants to hurt is the closest person around Jian Yao.

However, before he tries his best to save it, there is no need for her to know and worry in vain for the time being.

At this moment, a criminal policeman hurriedly ran over: "Professor, we have contacted Tong City as soon as possible. Jian Yao's mother and sister have been contacted. The local police will immediately send police to protect it, and there will be no incident. ”

Bo Jinyan nodded, and asked again: "What about that guy named Li Xunran?" ”

The criminal policeman replied: "Oh, he is a criminal policeman, and he has been on a mission in the field for the past few days, and he has not been contacted for the time being." In addition, we have just confirmed that in the early hours of this morning, an explosion occurred in the workshop of a firecracker factory in the suburbs of Tong City. Because there were no casualties, the local authorities did not report it. The latest news is that the appraisers have just found some very fine skin and flesh residues at the scene, and it is not yet possible to determine whether they belong to humans or animals, and they are being sent for examination......"

Bo Jin Yan raised his eyes and looked at him.

——

After debugging the monitoring protection equipment on her body, Jian Yao sat back in a police car, picked up a pen and paper, and pondered to herself.

By this time, it was already dark, and the faces of everyone outside the car had become blurred. The two tall and tall armed policemen were still standing outside the car loyally.

This is also what Bo Jinyan asked just now. From now on, they will protect her 24 hours a day.

She turned her head again and looked at Bo Jin Yan, who was standing under the door of the villa not far away, who was talking to the criminal police next to him with a cold face.

Seeing that creepy sentence just now, only he behaved arrogantly and calmly, and didn't take the other party's provocation in his eyes at all. And his attitude obviously infected other people as well, and everyone's expressions became less tense.

However, others may not be able to see it, but she knows every temper and expression of him. His gaze was obviously a little more indifferent than usual, and the corners of his mouth slipped from time to time with an extremely indifferent sneer.

He got angry, just kept quiet and controlled well.

With such a him, what else is there to be afraid of her?

At this time, I saw him turn his head and look in this direction. Through the twilight, Jian Yao also looked at him.

He walked over with his long legs.

Jian Yao was in the back seat, he opened the car door and sat in. His short hair was a little messy by the sea breeze, but it made his fair face as cold as jade.

"Have you adjusted your mentality?" He asked.

Jian Yao smiled at him, under the light of the headlights, her clear eyes were shining, and her porcelain-white face was also reflecting a soft luster.

"It's been adjusted a long time ago." She replied, "You're right, I can't stop people from saying hello to me." ”

A faint smile flashed in Bo Jin Yan's eyes, and his gaze stopped on the notebook in her hand: "How is the portrait done?" ”

He was talking about a portrait of "him". Just now, Bo Jinyan arranged for her to accept protective measures, and at the same time gave her this task, asking her to try it first.

Jian Yao replied: "I have some preliminary ideas. ”

Bo Jinyan raised his eyes to look at her, his hands on his knees casually, and there was a smile as shallow as a streamer in his eyes, feeling like a ...... The peerless master was extremely leisurely and interested in watching the rookie's performance on stage.

Jian Yao decided to ignore his expression and spoke directly:

"So far, Lin Yiyang is still the most suspicious, but we can't draw conclusions about it.

I just asked An Yan to collect all his information. The 'murder machine case' that appeared for the first time in blood, Lin Yiyang people were abroad in those days, and there was alibi evidence. But he has no definite evidence of time for the latter two times. I don't think that's a basis for judging whether he's that person or not. Because even if they are not present, they can be instructed to assist. ”

Bo Jinyan nodded lightly.

Jian Yao said: "Judging from his family background, although he is rich, he is not necessarily happy. An Yan found some secret information - his father had several regular lovers abroad, he was sent to boarding school in high school, and he also had a record of traffic driving violations. But many rich people are like this, so it is difficult to form a deeper judgment on his background and personality for the time being. ”

A slight smile appeared on Bo Jinyan's lips: "This Anyan is quite easy to use." "The romantic history of the suspect's family can be excavated.

Jian Yao gently pushed his arm: "So you have to encourage him occasionally." Wouldn't it be better if you pulled him into your group in the future and helped you solve the case? ”

Bo Jinyan looked at her noncommittally and didn't speak.

Jian Yao asked again: "What do you think about Lin Yiyang?" ”

Bo Jinyan put his hands behind his head, leaned back casually, and replied, "I agree with you." He could be a criminal, but he could also be another victim.

Please note that all the clues in this arson case so far have been deliberately left by 'him'. Whether Lin Yiyang's line will also be in his plan, we don't know. In addition, he had already used Jiang Hao's stand-in, and it was a near-perfect stand-in. So Lin Yiyang, will it be the second perfect stand-in? ”

Jian Yao listened silently. If so, the case becomes confusing again, and "he" is too unfathomable.

She looked up at the dim night outside the window, and her thoughts became a little distant.

Now she can understand why the old criminal policemen who came to the door a few days ago always have a sense of depression that their ambitions have not been rewarded. They are in the light, and the criminals are in the dark. Even if Bo Jinyan is as smart and powerful as he is, it is impossible to predict crimes in advance and protect everyone. And as long as criminals pick a random person from the vast sea of people, they can't prevent it.

But because of this, they have to go on more firmly.

This "he" is the "he" who regards human life as a game, whether he is a famous flower ogre, or a rich man with a split personality......

"He must be arrested." She turned to Bo Jinyan and said.

Bo Jin Yan also looked at her with dark eyes.

"Nonsense."

Of course, Jian Yao was not angry, but smiled.

At this time, Bo Jinyan asked again: "Let's get to the point, what conclusion do you have about 'him'?" ”

Jian Yao thought about it, in fact, her intuitive impression of "him" has always been very vague. Because although he is very scary every time he appears, if he thinks about it carefully, he doesn't leave many clues - the first two cases only leave two sentences; This one left a little more clues, but as Bo Jinyan said, he took the initiative to leave them, and he also understands criminal psychology, so he should be more cautious in his analysis.

Jian Yao replied: "Leave Lin Yiyang alone, first analyze 'him' as a criminal with an unknown identity:

First of all, it was a young man who kissed Yin Ziqi that day, so the age should be between 25 and 35 years old; Tall and medium-sized;

High IQ and strong ability to plan and commit crimes. So he must have had a rich criminal history before, but whether it was recorded or not, it's hard to say;

It must have been a good financial resource to support these crimes of his;

In terms of character, extreme conceit. Even if the arson was planned by him, it did not show obvious marking behavior and his personal perverted emotional catharsis. And the only emotion he showed during the whole process was to see all this as a game - a game with you.

But what is his purpose? He hasn't attacked you, so is his purpose to defeat you? Because he is a fellow party or follower of Flower Ogre 1? ”

"Nope." Bo Jin Yan raised his eyes and looked at the turbulent and gloomy sea in front of him, his eyes were as light as fog under the lamp, "I can already confirm his relationship with Tommy." ”

As soon as Jian Yao mentioned it, she heard him say, "He is Tommy's spiritual mentor." ”

Jian Yao: "...... You mean, Tommy actually listens to him? ”

Bo Jinyan nodded: "Once, my FBI colleagues and I judged that Tokyo had no accomplices for several reasons:

One is that he is a serial killer of his type, who has almost no accomplices in history, which does not fit their psychological state;

The second is that in that half a year, there was never a trace of another person;

The third is Tommy himself, who is an extremely cunning and murderous criminal. Including his attempt to use mind control techniques to communicate with me, with his IQ and emotional intelligence, it is completely possible. So we didn't do anything else with too much skepticism. ”

Jian Yao's heart sank, and she heard him say again: "But there are exceptions to everything. Now it seems that 'he' is extremely conceited, and it is impossible for such a person to be an equal to others or to be a follower of others. And his mental control skills are also better than Tommy's three-legged cat kung fu.

So his status can only be higher than Tommy's, most likely, similar to the role of a spiritual guide - he doesn't commit crimes directly, but Tommy surrenders to him, and he influences Tommy's crimes.

He is the flower ogre No. 1, and Tommy can only be relegated to No. 2. And the purpose of his coming to me now seems to be very clear—as you say, the one who 'conquers'* is obviously greater than the one who takes revenge. Because I personally sent his disciples to prison. ”

Jian Yao felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

Bo Jin Yan was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at her directly, his gaze dark and clear.

"Now that his motives are clear, he can take the initiative. I'll go back to the U.S. as soon as possible and talk to Tommy. That's probably the root of the line. He paused, "But for now, we're going to go to Tong City first." ”

Jian Yao was stunned for a moment.

——

Several police cars are speeding down the highway at night.

There was no direct plane back to Tong City, and it was more convenient to take the road, so the task force drove to the past overnight.

Jian Yao was sitting in the back seat of the police car, with two armed policemen in the front row and Bo Jinyan beside her, who was calling her mother and sister and softly comforting her.

After hanging up the phone, she sighed in her heart and looked sideways at Bo Jinyan: "What about Li Xunran?" Did he join the local task force to work with us? ”

The light in the car was very dim, and Bo Jinyan's handsome face seemed darker and darker. He looked at her and only calmly repeated the message he had received earlier: "He is on a mission in the field, and he has not been contacted yet." ”

Jian Yao was stunned.

She held the phone in her hand, slowly oozing a hint of sweat. The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and then she picked up the phone again and dialed out, but sure enough, it was turned off.

She lowered her head and sent a text message to Li Xunran: "The situation is urgent, reply as soon as you turn it on." ”

After doing all this, she looked up at the ghostly night outside the window, leaned back in her chair, and made no sound. And Bo Jinyan was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and took her into his arms and let her lean on his chest.

Jian Yao stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around him, and put her face in his arms: "Li Xunran often couldn't get in touch like this before, so it should be fine." ”

"Hmm." Bo Jinyan's deep voice sounded above her head.

The two of them did not make a sound for a moment, except for the police car running across the road, making repetitive and monotonous engine sounds and grinding sounds.

Suddenly, Bo Jinyan spoke: "When I was investigating the flower cannibalism case that year, I was threatened. ”

Jian Yao slowly raised her head and looked at his well-defined side face.

He continued: "By chance, I received misinformation from another colleague, and I caught up with Tommy alone. It was on the street near an elementary school. Tommy first detonated a school bus in front of me, and more than a dozen children were blown up into the sky. Then he told me to drop my gun and get into his car or he would blow up the second bus. ”

Jian Yao looked at him in a daze. He never mentioned how he was imprisoned, but it turned out to be like this.

"All FBI personnel, especially behavioral analysis specialists, have been admonished not to negotiate compromise with terrorists." His voice was as thick as water in the night, "But at that time, I compromised and got into the car. ”

Jian Yao hugged his thin waist tighter: "Why do you suddenly want to tell me this today?" ”

Bo Jinyan looked down at her, his long eyes were clear and moving.

"Because you need me now."

——

It was already five o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Tong City.

Bo Jinyan and others went directly to the scene of the explosion, and Jian Yao, under the protection of the armed police, went home first.

Seeing that her mother and sister were safe and sound, Jian Yao's tense mood was finally eased a little. But it's inevitable that they'll be worried. Jian Xuan was nervous, pulling her to ask long and short questions. The mother's eyes were red, but when she saw her, she behaved unusually calmly, and did not ask anything more, only told her to be careful in everything. Jian Yao felt uncomfortable, hugged them tightly for a while, turned around and walked away in the morning.

Jian Xuan stood in front of the window, watched her sister get into the police car, and looked back at her mother: "Mom, don't blame her." We'll try to persuade her not to do this in the future. ”

The mother was stunned for a while, her eyes turned red again, and she replied: "Your sister's character is determined that even if you have eight horses, you can't pull them back." Look at the way she just looked...... I only hope that nothing will happen to her in the future, otherwise how can I be worthy of your father......"

——

The light in the early morning was gray, Jian Yao got out of the police car, and saw that outside the firecracker workshop where the incident occurred, there were employees standing far and near, and a cordon was raised. Looking through the open door of the workshop, I saw a gray and black mess, with several policemen shuttling back and forth.

When she walked to the door, she saw an old criminal policeman she knew, and hurriedly walked out with her head down.

"Uncle Zhou, how's the situation?"

The old criminal policeman Huo Ran looked up at her: "Jian Yao...... You're back too. ”

Jian Yao was stunned for a moment. The old criminal policeman is an iron-blooded tough guy, his father's colleague, but at this moment there are tears in his eyes.

Jian Yao's heart sank fiercely. Li Xunran...... Li Xunran!

She rushed in quickly, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of several detectives standing in the corner, reaching out to wipe tears. And Bo Jinyan stood in front of her a few steps away, in a suit and leather shoes, with a handsome face and a quiet face, without any expression.

He heard the sound and turned to look at her. There seemed to be a surge in the dark eyes, but it calmed down immediately.

"Jian Yao." Slowly but clearly, he said, "Be mentally prepared. ”

Jian Yao's mind went blank in an instant, and a sluggish and unbearable breath poured into her chest. She looked at Bo Jinyan in a daze, and listened to him continue: "The DNA test results are out, and the musculature residue left at the scene belongs to Li Xunran. ”

Jian Yao only felt as if her heart had been knocked down with a heavy hammer, once, and again. The stuffy breath in his chest seemed to ferment in an instant, becoming dull and painful. She hung her hands at her side and began to tremble slightly.

Bo Jinyan stepped forward and hugged her into his arms.

Jian Yao's eyes tingled, and tears had fallen unstoppably.

Li Xunran...... Li Xunran?

The cold and heroic Li Xunran, Li Xunran, who has taken her to run all over the mountains since she was a child, smiled lightly and said that she wanted to help match her with Bo Jinyan's gentle Li Xunran, and Li Xunran, who sacrificed his life for the police career?

She choked up and could barely speak, dazed as if she were in a dream.

Only Bo Jinyan's familiar, low and even slightly gentle voice sounded in his ears:

"I didn't find Li Xunran's suicide note, I think, 'he' didn't control Li Xunran......

Now we can only judge him as missing, and we still have hope. ”

……

People came and went around, and the faces of the criminal policemen were as cold as iron. And the two of them hugged each other tightly, and neither of them spoke.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Bo Jinyan's trouser pocket made a soft sound of "Didi", which was a text message.

He put his arm around Jian Yao with one hand, took it out and looked at it, his eyes narrowed: "An Yan!" ”

An Yan was sitting in the corner with a notebook typing, when he heard the sound, he raised his head, his eyes swept Bo Jinyan's gestures, and he immediately took out a hand-held instrument from the big travel bag next to him and walked towards him.

On the bright white phone screen, there is only a simple sentence in English from an unknown number:

“nowbegins.”

An Yan quickly took the mobile phone, inserted it into the instrument, and asked without raising his head while tracking the positioning signal: "What does he mean?" ”

Jian Yao also raised her head when she heard the voice, her face was pale, her red eyes were full of tears, and she looked at the mobile phone screen with determination and stubbornness.

Bo Jin Yan was silent for a moment and replied: "He has never committed a crime directly. Even in this case, we know that he is connected to the arsonist, and there is no direct evidence pointing to him. ”

After a pause, he said, "Now, he's going to start the crime himself." ”
