The backyard of the café in Pompeii is a flower garden, and now all that is left in front of you is the silver flowers after the snow falls. On the flat, pure white snow below the windowsill, a series of footprints stretch to the path outside the park.

Deng Haoran visually measured the length of a footprint with a square heel, and at the same time stretched out his leg to step on a footprint of his own as a contrast, and said: "Based on the size, it should be a woman's footprint." ”

"Hmmm! It is estimated that her height should be less than 1.65 meters. Long Xirui said, "But the weight is definitely above you." ”

Deng Haoran sighed, and sure enough, he found that each of the footprints was a few centimeters deeper than his own footprints.

Long Xirui measured the depth of the footprints with her slender fingers and said, "It is conservatively estimated that the weight on the footprints is at least more than 100 kilograms. ”

"Less than 1.65 meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms!" Deng Haoran exclaimed, "Then this fat woman is already miserable to an unimaginable extent!" Thinking about it, he couldn't help but get goosebumps for his imagination.

"I'd rather believe she's not alone." Long Xirui said thoughtfully.

Deng Haoran's eyes widened when he heard this: "Your speculation is a bit creepy!" Could it be that she is not a person, but a ghost? ”

Long Xirui smiled bitterly and blinked her eyes, and said slowly: "I mean, it may not be one person, but two people." ”

"But there's only one person's footprints in the snow!"

"That's right! Because the other man did not touch the ground the whole time. ”

"That's right!" Deng Haoran suddenly said, "One person can run around in the snow with another person, but only his own footprints are left. ”

"It could also be one carrying the other." While speaking, Long Xirui faintly remembered the scene of running in the snow with Tong Shuyang on his back in his mind.

"Makes sense!" Deng Haoran said that he would take advantage of the question, bowed down, and at the same time wrapped his arms behind his back, and easily picked up Long Xirui's body. The moment he touched Long Xirui's limbs, his previous gloomy mood was suddenly much more relaxed.

Caught off guard, Long Xirui had no choice but to let him run around in the snow with him on his back. Sure enough, Deng Haoran's footprints immediately deepened.

"Wait! Look at! What is it? Long Xirui suddenly shouted.

Deng Haoran immediately stopped, and when he turned his face, he just saw Long Xirui's outstretched right hand, pointing to a white strip of cloth hanging on a branch in front of him and fluttering in the wind.

He followed the footprints on the snow for a few steps, and happened to come near the low tree, Long Xirui lightly took off the strip of cloth with her right arm, feeling that the strip of cloth had been hung from her current position at that time.

Deng Haoran gently put down Long Xirui, and then poked his head over, the strip of cloth seemed to have been torn off the placket, old and dirty, and it was full of holes and tatters.

"Maybe it's just a rag." Deng Haoran said with some disappointment.

Long Xirui unfolded the strip of cloth and raised it to the sky, saying, "Maybe it's not just a rag. ”

Deng Haoran took a closer look at the sun, and indeed found that the holes on the cloth strip seemed to be scattered in addition to being messy, and it seemed that someone had poked countless small holes in the cloth strip with a sharp weapon, and these small holes were connected to form a string of numbers.

“908027607726。” He opened his mouth and read, "What do you mean? ”

Long Xirui shook his head at him and said, "But it seems to be very interesting." ”

"It seems that I have to ask this Miss Yang Weixue, who runs a coffee house, to taste the coffee from our police station." Deng Haoran said.

Long Xirui shook her head again and said, "What to sue her?" Lying in front of a police uncle? ”

Deng Haoran nodded: "You're right! It is better to investigate openly than to visit secretly, so as not to startle the snake. ”

When the serious crime team completed the investigation and evidence collection at the scene of the crime, the sky was already hazy, but many reporters were still guarding the surroundings with long guns and short cannons despite the cold, and it seemed that after the police left, it was time for them to start work.

On the way back to the police station, everyone was a little sleepy, but Shi Mingzhu kept tirelessly fiddling with the Apple phone in his hand.

Han Xing, who was driving, yawned a lot and said, "Mingzhu, since you are so energetic, why don't we change, you can drive for a while, let me take a break." ”

Shi Mingzhu pursed his mouth: "You think beautifully!" Besides, I'm getting down to business! ”

"Hey! Playing with a mobile phone is also called doing business? ”

"You know a magic horse, huh?" Shi Mingzhu glanced at Han Xing in the rearview mirror and said, "Now my relatives, friends and colleagues are asking me about the serial amputation case, and I really can't resist it." ”

Han Xing snorted lightly: "I only know that gods and horses are floating clouds!" Be careful not to violate the organization's confidentiality discipline. ”

"Alas! I told them again and again that I had no comment, but they didn't say that I was trying to cover it up. This case has been hyped up by the media, and it is about to become a news headline. Yo! Look at this! Shi Mingzhu swiped his finger and read the information on the mobile phone screen, "The third amputation case has appeared in our city, and the serial murderer has extended his claws to the police officers. For more information, please lock in to our city's news channel, tonight at 8 o'clock "Seeing and Talking from the Heart" will take you directly to the scene of the crime. ”

"What did you say?" Deng Haoran, who was sitting drowsy in the back row, straightened up all of a sudden and said, "Hit the scene of the crime?" What a big breath! Is our police cordon a virtual reality? ”

"Boss, don't worry too much, you must know that some boring media people like to have no wind and waves." Shi Mingzhu said.

Han Xing continued: "But they are also very powerful, you think, even the secret private lives of those celebrities can be peeled off by them, and in the end they are dug out naked, sometimes you really have to admire their perseverance and magical means." ”

"You don't want to open a pot!" Shi Mingzhu said angrily, "If they really have the ability, they don't have to sneak behind the police's ass all day long, like you said, they should use that kind of perseverance and amazing means to find out the real culprit!" ”

"Alright! You both say a few words. Eight o'clock tonight, right? Deng Haoran said and looked at his watch, and said, "There are still ten minutes, Han Xing, hurry up again, rush back to the police station, and let us see how they took the audience to the scene of the crime." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Long Xirui, who was looking out the window and contemplating, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Long Xirui smiled back: "The string of numbers on the strip of cloth." ”

"A string of 12-digit numbers, not like a phone number, could it be a password?" Tang Haoran said, "It's better to leave it to our police force cryptography experts to study." ”

Long Xirui nodded, and fell into deep thought again, what she was thinking about was: If Tong Shuyang deliberately hung the cloth strip on the branch, then she must have wanted to convey some kind of message, but who was these encrypted messages to convey? In addition, it is obvious that Yang Weixue is deliberately concealing the existence of a little red, so what kind of relationship is there between her and a little red?

At this time, I heard Shi Mingzhu say to Deng Haoran: "Boss, I just privately called a colleague from the Information Department to secretly check the information of Yang Weixue, it turns out that she is not a local, and her coffee house has been open for less than a year." There is also a younger brother named Yang Qingfeng in addition to her parents, who used to be a graduate student in Dr. Xie's hospital, but unfortunately died suddenly and unexpectedly when he was about to graduate. ”

"What accident?" Deng Haoran asked.

"I don't know yet." Shi Mingzhu said, "Boss, in fact, my colleagues in the information department also helped us in violation of police regulations without prosecuting the suspect, and all the information was revealed to me verbally." ”

Deng Haoran said: "Yang Weixue, this woman is indeed a little weird. Mingzhu, you continue to follow up, if you can find any clues, you can formally sue her, and at that time, any information about her can be asked for by the Information Department openly. ”

"Okay, boss!" Shi Mingzhu said.

Han Xing accosted again: "Mingzhu, I didn't expect you to really be able to do something serious with your mobile phone, in the end, you are still a good talker!" ”

"You talk a lot!" Shi Mingzhu's face flushed slightly, "To be a man, you must first do your job well, and drive your car!" ”

As soon as he returned to the office of the police station, Deng Haoran couldn't wait to turn on the TV, and as soon as he tuned to the urban news channel, the familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Watch the video, understand the things around you, and say what is in your heart." Hello everyone, I'm Shi Zhen. ”

Everyone sat around and watched, only to see a photo of the blue snowman at the scene of the crime appear on the TV screen again.

Combined with the TV picture, Shi Zhen said: "If you watched our show yesterday, I believe you will be familiar with this lively and lovely blue snowman. About its photos, there were no less than tens of thousands of retweets on Weibo yesterday, but as of now, the number of retweets has exceeded one million, but the reason why Blue Snowman has become a hot spot is not because of its cuteness, but because of its horror. ”

Before the words fell, everything appeared on the screen, and a photo of the blue snowman being hollowed out appeared, and the police cordon was still in the distance.

Shi Zhen continued: "This afternoon, several elementary school students were having a snowball fight around the blue snowman, and the snowball accidentally broke the snowman's stomach, and it turned out that there was a black suitcase inside, and after opening the suitcase, an amazing scene appeared - inside it was a girl whose legs were amputated! When the police and ambulance arrived at the scene, fortunately the victim was not in danger of life, but this was already the third amputation case in the city. According to people familiar with the matter, the victim was actually a traffic policeman. This shows that the murderer of the serial amputation case has extended his claws to the police officers. Let's take a look at today's hot video, this one provided by an unknown enthusiast. ”

At this time, the video began to play on the TV screen, and the shooting angle was actually a close-up direct shot of the blue snowman, and suddenly Deng Haoran and Long Xirui and others appeared on the screen.

"This video was filmed inside the cordon!" Deng Haoran stood up and shouted, "Someone inside our police has leaked secrets to the media!" ”
