"Meaning, when you first passed by there, you didn't notice the corpse in the first place because of the blocking of light from the line 7 tracks......? Wait, wait, don't cry yet......" The black and thin policeman hurriedly threw the ballpoint pen in his hand on the table, and cast a plea at Zhai Yiwen on the side.

"Alright, alright." Zhai Yiwen held his hands against the wall with his back, kept changing his posture slightly, and the whole person seemed to be a little anxious, "It's just a routine question, you keep crying, how can people solve the case?" ”

Ye Shuangshuang wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, and was about to speak, but the diagonal door was opened.

"Brother Qiu, you're back." The black and thin policeman's face had just turned cloudy, and when he saw the other person who followed Qiu Pingning in, his smile froze again, "...... And the afternoon one. ”

Ling Shucheng didn't seem to feel the unpleasantness of the other party's exposure at all, and even nodded politely at the policeman who had punched and kicked each other not long ago.

"Look at your relieved look, this matter may not be in my hands." Qiu Pingning pulled out a chair and sat down, his fingers tapped on the table, "Say, I haven't seen you for an hour, what's going on?" ”

"We ...... No, it would be more accurate to say that Miss Ye found a corpse on the way home. "The location is on the north-south side of the east side of the park, next to the ditch. The deceased was a young woman, dressed fashionably, and was roughly judged to be a resident of a nearby villa area. We've already sent people around to investigate. ”

"Can't directly recognize faces?"

“…… I'm afraid not. The thin black policeman cautiously glanced at Yeshuangshuang, who had been shaking with his head hanging down, and lowered his voice, "That woman...... There were at least twenty cuts of different shades all over his body, and his face was scratched. ”

"Torture?" Qiu Pingning's face sank.

"No, it's not." The black thin policeman unconsciously licked his dry lips, "The first knife was cut on the major artery of the neck, and he should have died on the spot......

"What did those knives in the back of the murderer do? Spite? Qiu Pingning lowered his head and groaned, "According to the usual situation, it may be a love kill or a vendetta killing." After confirming the identity of the deceased, be sure to check her network closely......"

"I don't think so." From the moment he entered the door, Ling Shucheng's eyes had been focused on the men's jacket on the shoulders of Yeshuang.

It's Zhai Yiwen's. There's nothing to worry about or surprise about. The only problem is that Ling Shucheng knows that he has always been very resistant to showing his intimate side in front of others.

"Why?" Qiu Pingning pressed the dissatisfied colleague below and asked seriously.

Ling Shucheng tilted his head and thought about it, but decided to ask the person directly: "Miss Ye, I'm sorry for repeatedly forcing you to recall those uncomfortable details when you haven't calmed down yet. But since the brutal prisoner is still on the run, we must hurry. ”

"I know, I know, but ......" both sobbed quietly, unable to organize a complete sentence for a long time.

Ling Shucheng looked at her trembling fingers, and suddenly asked calmly, "You bumped into the murderer who was fleeing the scene, right?" ”

Qiu Pingning was stunned for a moment, looked at the colleague next to him with wide eyes, and got an affirmative look.

"Then we're—" He couldn't help but raise his voice.

"But Miss Ye didn't see his face clearly......" Ling Shucheng interrupted him with a sigh.

"Huh? What's going on? The hope that surged in his heart was instantly extinguished, and Qiu Pingning unconsciously spoke sternly.

"Tsk, I'll do it for her." Zhai Yiwen took a few steps forward, stood still beside Ye Shuangshuang, and deliberately pushed her with a little force, "If there is anything wrong with my paraphrase, remember to remind me." ”

Ye Shuangshuang almost hit the corner of the table directly, and it took a while to turn his bewildered face to him.

"She was talking to me on the phone when she was talking to the murderer." Zhai Yiwen obviously said to Ling Shucheng, "Miss Ye herself is not a vigilant person, most of the time she is very slow, you should know." ”

"Isn't that a good light?" Ling Shucheng asked.

"Yes and no. Anyway, if it were you and me, I would definitely be aware of someone who wore a lot of clothes in this kind of weather, and almost deliberately covered his entire face. Zhai Yiwen glared at Ye Shuangshuang again by the way, "But if it's Miss Ye, she may only think that the other party is afraid of the cold, and she loves performance art." By the way, this guy suddenly touched the blood on his clothes after walking far away, and finally realized what kind of character he had just hit shoulder-to-shoulder. Hey, she's also fateful. ”

"The other party didn't ...... Notice her? Ling Shucheng euphemistically expressed his suspicions, "The amount of bleeding from the carotid artery cut far exceeds that of ordinary scratches or penetrating wounds, and there should be more or less blood splatters on the murderer's body." Even if Miss Ye doesn't pay too much attention to the other party, in general, the other party will ...... because of the fear of exposure."

"First strike?" Zhai Yiwen raised his eyebrows with a cold face, "I guess that murderer must have pondered this matter, but I heard that I was going to come to her soon, and the matter didn't seem to be revealed in the eyes of this stupid girl, so I retreated halfway." ”

“…… I'm sorry. Ling Shucheng pressed one hand on his frowning brow, "I should have sent her home." ”

"It's okay, isn't she still dead?" Zhai Yiwen never accumulates virtue on her lips, "There will be times when a person is alone, she can neither be taken care of for a lifetime, nor can she have the shit luck of turning evil into good fortune every time she encounters danger." If you don't have a few more eyes, you really die, no one can blame you. ”

Yeshuang had buried his head in his knees, his hair squeezing loosely around his shoulders.

“…… Anyway, it's always good to be okay now," Ling Shucheng couldn't stand it a little, "There may be a lot of things that Miss Ye needs to continue to participate in in the future, please take more time to spend with her." ”

Zhai Yiwen glanced at him coldly, but he didn't talk back.

In addition to the intermittent cries of the shuangshuang, there was a strange silence in the room. Qiu Pingning stared at the case file that had just been sorted out, as if he wanted to try to see the flowers from those few horrific photos. The black and thin police officer Lao Shen turned the ballpoint pen between a few fingers on the ground, occasionally wondering whether Zhai Yiwen and Ye Shuangshuang were a couple with a subtle expression. Ling Shucheng looked worried about the country and the people, and he didn't know if he saw something again. Zhai Yiwen walked back to the wall, constantly adjusting his standing posture, as if he felt uncomfortable, and at the same time stopped looking at karma. The only girl in the room almost shrunk herself into a small ball, and her breathing was so rapid that Ling Shucheng worried several times that she would suddenly lose her breath.

"If there's nothing else to do for the time being, I'll go back first." Zhai Yiwen turned his head, and the footsteps were particularly heavy, "Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, and we are just waiting for the news of your follow-up search." At night, can you let a flat-headed person like me go back to sleep? ”

"Wait a minute, Ling Shucheng, you haven't answered the question yet." Qiu Pingning raised his head from the case file, "Why do you think it's not a vendetta or a love killing?" ”

"It's just a gut feeling." Seeing that the other party was still staring at him, Ling Shucheng further explained, "This murderer gives me a very bad feeling. Although his killing methods are very cruel, he is very calm from beginning to end. Whether it was the choice of the location of the crime, the angle and strength of the knife, or the choice to let Miss Ye go, it was obviously considered. From what is known, his primary goal has always been to 'kill and get out there safely', not 'to find a way out after killing in passion'. As for what you said before, 'venting anger', I don't think it's quite like that. ”

"Why?"

"If it's for revenge...... In general, shouldn't it be the other way around? Ling Shucheng took the photos of the scene handed by Qiu Pingning, "The deceased was spared the living crime, but he ...... many times after the victim's death." It's weird. ”

The thin black policeman had been whispering to Qiu Pingning not to involve the suspicious person who had committed an accident in the afternoon too much in the case, but the latter did not listen at all.

"And what do you think?" Qiu Pingning put on an attitude of studying with an open mind.

"You may be able to try to analyze the direction of each wound on the victim's body and the overall distribution characteristics in more detail. Generally speaking, if the murderer is 'conscious' at the time of the murder, then all the choices he makes when he hurts someone may be related to the motive of his actions......" Ling Shucheng paused for a moment and suddenly changed his words, "However, my previous expertise was not in the investigation of criminal cases, so my speculations may not be correct." All in all, in order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to imitate the crime, it is recommended that you do not release too many details related to the case for the time being, and strengthen the investigation of this kind of road section with less traffic according to the physical information provided by Miss Ye before......"

"Needless to say, this kind of cliché." Qiu Pingning didn't seem to be satisfied with his answer, and waved his hand after getting the photo back, "Okay, I really don't need you for the time being, let's go back and rest first." If there are any questions in the follow-up, I will go directly to Miss Ye. ”

Ling Shucheng nodded, and coughed twice at Zhai Yiwen.

"Okay, Miss Ye, you heard it too, please follow me to move." Zhai Yiwen noticed that Ling Shucheng's eyes were a little wrong, and then he used some force to directly and forcefully pull Ye Shuangshuang up.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" Ye Shuangshuang was still crying, "If I had been a little more vigilant and saw what that person looked like, you wouldn't have to bother now......"

"You can only think on the bright side now, for example, if you were 'a little' smarter, you might just die." Zhai Yiwen's face pulled long, "It's okay, compared to being just a little smart, maybe the stupid ones can get good luck." ”

“…… You know, I walked straight over the big puddle of blood that man was shedding, but I didn't notice anything. Yeshuang covered his face, still thinking to himself, "If I could have seen her earlier, maybe she would have saved ......"

"It seems that you are not only naïve in your thinking, but also very unserious in listening to lectures." Zhai Yiwen slightly restrained his temper under Ling Shucheng's reminding attention, "It's all said, she died thoroughly with the first knife, do you still want to come back to life?" ”

"But—"

"Alright, Miss." Zhai Yiwen was annoyed by her, "Are your feet better?" If the swelling hasn't subsided, for the sake of me having to carry you downstairs in a while, you can spare my ears, it's really noisy. ”

Walking out of the gate of the police station side by side, the distant sound of bells echoing over the dimmed city.

"Damn, it's twelve o'clock." Zhai Yiwen couldn't help but scold again, "Why didn't you call you at home?" At this time, the track is also out of service, do you really want me to carry you back? ”

"Mom and Dad are out of town talking about business...... The housekeeper is old, and he is a little uncomfortable these days, I don't want to scare him, tell him that I have been with you all the time......" Ye Shuangshuang tightly grabbed a small piece of fabric on Zhai Yiwen's shoulder.

"Then he is indeed old, and he actually let one of your eldest ladies stay up all night?" Zhai Yiwen originally wanted to scold a few more words, but was attracted by Ling Shucheng with a melancholy face, "Young Master Ling, what's wrong with you?" Don't tell me this little battle scares you, it's not like you haven't seen the world. ”

"No, I'm thinking about ......" Ling Shucheng hesitated for a moment, and then changed the topic, "You and Miss Ye will stay with me first tonight." Miss Ye sleeps in the bed, and the two of us deal with it casually. ”

Zhai Yiwen was distracted at this time, carefully looked at his demeanor at the moment, and then was slightly taken aback.

"Do you know that your expression is really scary right now?" He pointed to Ye Shuangshuang who was lying behind him, "I want to tell me that you actually have a skill called 'Yin Yang Eye', the one I carry has long been attacked and won't breathe, and now it's just a crying female ghost." ”

"I'm not ......!" Although he immediately denied it, Ling Shucheng's overly infectious low air pressure still made Ye Shuangshuang shudder, "Mr. Ling, what's wrong with you?" Ever since I was in the police station, I seem to have something to say all along......"

"Have you ever wondered what the worst consequences of this will be?" Ling Shucheng reluctantly furrowed his brows, and no longer sold it, "It's not about the safety of a certain person or a few people's lives, but it's closely related to us." ”

Zhai Yiwen's action of pressing the corners of his skirt for Ye Shuangshuang was obviously sluggish, which provoked the fool behind him to mumble a few words.

“…… It won't be what I thought it would be, would it? Zhai Yiwen cautiously lowered his voice.

"I've seen the wounds on the deceased's body...... It's very irregular, and it does seem like it's done randomly. It's more like a 'proclamation' than a 'revenge'. Ling Shucheng's wording was euphemistic, but the hints in it were very rich, "Think about it, if such an eye-catching murder happened in this joint, who would be the first person to be suspected?" ”

The bell struck twenty-four times, and only a metallic echo remained. Yeshuangshuang's lower lip was already imprinted with her own tooth marks.

"It's us, the 'Gifted'." She replied softly.
