The room was suffocating like a vacuum, dead silence.

's words were shocking, and the shock silenced. Everyone's expressions were frozen in an instant like a photograph.

"What did you say?" Finally, Pi Shenglao broke the silence, and his voice became poignant and strange, "Xiaoqian, what were you talking about just now?" He screamed frantically as he shook his daughter's shoulders vigorously with both hands.

"Mr. Pi, please calm down." Hua Cub was about to step forward to stop her, but Pixi suddenly rolled her eyes and fell unconscious.

"What's wrong with you? Akane! Pissinger's voice was almost hoarse.

For the first time, Deng Haoran grabbed Pi Xi's arm to probe her pulse, and at the same time, Long Xirui's fingers were already on her neck artery.

"It should be overly frightened." Long Xirui looked at Deng Haoran and said, the latter nodded.

"Mr. Pi, you and Ling Ai both need to take a good rest." Deng Haoran said, and Long Xirui gently put Pi Qian down on the bed and covered the quilt.

Pi Shenglao, supported by Hua Xiao'er, slumped on the sofa next to the bed like mud.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, although the door was open. Then walked in a middle-aged man with glasses and a suitcase in his hand. Seeing the situation in front of him, he was obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said, "I am Doctor Gao, who is in charge of treating Pixi's wounds. ”

Deng Haoran replied: "We are policemen, you came at the right time, everyone needs you." ”

Dr. Gao immediately opened the suitcase, changed into white clothes, and examined the father and daughter respectively. He gave Pishenglao a little sedative and told him to take a nap. He said that Pissi had a nervous breakdown and was fine, and then began to change the dressing for her wounds.

Hua Cub and the others felt a little shocked, so they hid outside the room, and only Deng and Long stayed.

"Maybe we police need to know about the victim's injuries." Deng Haoran said.

"At the moment, it seems that the wound is healing very well." "If she had had had had a serious disease in her leg, such as a malignant tumor, it would have been a perfect amputation." ”

"You're saying the killer could be an orthopedic surgeon?" Long Xirui asked.

"That's another question. However, I have been a doctor for almost 30 years, and it is not that I am modest, if I were to give my surgical level a score of 60, then that person should get more than 90 points. Without decades of professional clinical practice, it is really difficult to have such superb surgical skills. ”

Deng Haoran and Long Xirui glanced at each other, and then asked, "So, Doctor Gao, how many orthopedic surgeons do you think can reach this level in this city?" ”

"No more than ten."

"Thank you, Dr. Gao, for providing us police with important leads."

"It should. Officer, please come and help me. ”

Deng Haoran responded and began to help Dr. Gao bandage Pixi's wound with gauze. Long Xirui looked thoughtfully around the room as a large photo on the wall caught her attention, which looked like a group photo of the class. The schoolchildren were divided into three rows, and in the middle of the first row, she found Pissi sitting there, her smile as bright as the sun shining on her fair face, almost like two people in the bed.

"The response from the school was similar to that of Mr. Pi." Unconsciously Deng Haoran came to Long Xirui's side after helping, saw the photo on the wall and said, "According to our investigation, Pi Xi is popular with students, recognized by colleagues, trusted by leaders, and has indeed just been rated as an excellent teacher." ”

"The illogical place may be the key entry point of the case." Long Xirui's eyes were still focused on the photo.

Dr. Gao packed up his things, changed into casual clothes, and said, "I come twice a week to treat her wounds, this is my business card, you can contact me at any time if you need anything." ”

Deng Haoran took the business card, only to see that it was printed: Gao Shilin, deputy chief physician...... "Doctor Gao, as you said, the recovery of the wound is not a problem, I think the more important problem for the victim now is the recovery of the psychological trauma, which is also the key to whether the case can be solved as soon as possible, and our police are even more anxious." ”

Gao Shilin gently lifted his glasses and said, "I can ask a colleague of mine who is a psychologist to come over, maybe I can help you." ”

"There's Dr. Raugau."

Everyone sent Gao Shilin away, and Deng Haoran immediately began to arrange the next move. "God, I want the information of the orthopedic surgeons above the deputy chief physician of all hospitals in the city and the behavior records before and after the crime, Anping, Dalong, and Xiaomini are with you."

"Alright, Chief, let's get moving."

As soon as the four of them went out, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

"What's the situation, Han Xing?"

"Good news, sir. The manager of the property finally showed up, and he agreed to let us look at the surveillance footage from the day of the incident. Although it was not close, Long Xirui could vaguely distinguish that the other party was the male policeman she had just met downstairs talking to the old woman, because he always spoke in a loud voice.

"Very well, I'll go down right away." After Deng Haoran finished speaking, he turned back to look at the bedroom.

"I'll take care of them, don't worry." The clever Hua cub saw his concerns.

Deng and Long entered the elevator. Deng Haoran leaned his back against the side wall of the elevator and stared silently at Long Xirui's side. She turned her head and smiled, but she didn't speak, but a question mark was already drawn in her eyes.

"Your smile is angelic, your figure is devilish. You could have been a star. He said, still staring intently at the angels and demons in his eyes. Is it fun to be a private investigator? ”

"Your compliment is wonderful, I have to say thank you." She was laughing, indeed like an angel. "You might be able to be a writer or a poet, so why did you choose to be a police officer?"

"You don't know, this thing is like a tight spell, you don't want to take it off if you put it on." As he spoke, he flipped through his papers, revealing the * on them—a stack of feathers holding up the five-star national emblem. "When I retire at the end of my life, maybe I will consider opening a private detective agency, but before I retire, I have to solve this case first."

With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and it was lowered from the 17th floor to the 1st floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he felt a little like he had entered the eighteenth floor of hell from the heaven of the two-person world, although the "angel" was still smiling and walking side by side with him as a "devil".

"I hope to find any clues from the surveillance video of the community. You know, the legal process is more cumbersome to enforce than the legislative process, and it can take days to apply for a warrant for evidence. "He knew he had to let his reason out of heaven and hell and back to reality.

Han Xing was waiting outside. "Boss, Mingzhu is waiting for us in the property office. This is ......"

"Our helpers."

The three of them walked along the road where Long Xirui came to the entrance of the community. Han Xing was a little excited, and from time to time he wanted to peek at Long Xirui a few times.

As he passed the dumpster, Long Xirui suddenly squatted down to inspect the ground.

"Our forensic personnel have examined it in detail and have not been able to provide any valuable clues so far." Deng Haoran turned around and said, "This orthopedic surgeon's methods are as superb as his surgical skills, leaving no clues. ”

Han Xing was puzzled to hear it. "What orthopedic surgeon?"

"You'll understand when you catch him."

"Ever heard of Rocca's Law?" Long Xirui stood up and followed.

"It can't have anything to do with Robert Carlos, right?" Han Xing said.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's forensic stuff." Deng Haoran said.

Long Xirui nodded: "Let's go watch the surveillance video." ”

The property office is at the entrance of the complex. The manager, who is good at showing people with a smile, greeted him. "This is Captain Deng. I'm really sorry, we also have regulations on the management of our property, and if you don't follow it, we are really inconvenient to provide surveillance video. We also hope that you will solve the case as soon as possible, and now the residents of the community are very distrustful of our security guards, so ......"

"Alright, manager, let's stop gossiping, let's adjust the monitoring." Deng Haoran interrupted him.

"Yes, yes, your Officer Shi is watching, Da Huo, help the officers."

Da Huo, who was sitting in front of the monitor, answered and operated the surveillance video with the mouse, sometimes fast-forwarding and sometimes playing back.

"Boss, this is the video of the day we found, that is, after 0:00 on October 23rd, I have seen the previous ones in detail, and I didn't find any problems." Shi Mingzhu said. She was the policewoman Long Xirui saw when she came, with short hair and looking quite energetic.

At this time, the time shown on the video is 3 o'clock in the morning, and the four black and white images from different cameras are still as clear as day, because the street lights in the community are bright.

"Is this the only way in and out of the community?" Deng Haoran asked.

"Yes, we have only one entrance and exit in the British community, and for the sake of environmental protection, the parking lot is set up underground, and cars are prohibited in the community." Da Huo replied, "From the door to the garbage bin, these four cameras can monitor the entire road. As he spoke, he intermittently fast-forwarded the video, but the four video frames were like close-ups of the scene, and not even half of the figure was missing.

Suddenly, all four images disappear at the same time, replaced by a full screen of snowflakes.

"Backwards." Deng Haoran said.

Da Huo clicked the mouse to rewind the video, and soon the four pictures appeared at the same time. The video plays forward at a constant speed second by second, and when the time is displayed as 3:15:25, it becomes a snowflake dot again at the same time.

"Fast forward." Deng Haoran said, Da Huo did so.

Fast forward about a few minutes, and all four videos reappear at the same time, but on the last picture, next to the garbage can, a leather case appears.

"Rewind!" More than one person shouted in unison.

Da Huo also came to his senses all of a sudden, quickly retreated the video to a state full of snowflakes, and then played it at a normal speed.

3:20:15 ...... 16 sec...... 17 sec...... 18 sec...... 19 sec...... In 20 seconds, the screen is repeated! The suitcase appears!
