After Long Xirui said this, Deng Haoran gradually appeared in his mind the appearance of Edward (Edward) and Lotus (lotus). Edward once insulted the waitress in the coffee house of Pompeii, when Deng Haoran stopped him and was ridiculed by him as a hobbit, and then bumped into the gold worshippers Lotus and Edward on the road in the red convertible BMW, and the tattoo of the single person on her chest was even more impressive, and basically consistent with the description of the tattoo on the lower abdomen of the deceased Chen Si.

"It seems that Shi Zhen of the TV station has just a glimpse of this Chen Si." Shi Mingzhu said on the side, "She said that Chen Si was just an intern with a low income, but in fact he was a generous prostitute. ”

"That's right! He gives me the feeling that he is more like a broad young master! At the same time, he took out the makeup case from his bag and began to touch up his makeup.

"And what else did you see in the window later?" Deng Haoran asked.

Shedding blinked his eyelashes full of mascara, stared at the small mirror in the makeup box and said, "He seemed to have given the foreigner something, and then left, and the two people also got on the BMW and left." That's all I've seen, I've told you all, can I go now? ”

"Miss Li, don't make your work seem to be busier than our police!" Deng Haoran raised his voice and said, "What did Chen Si give to that foreigner?" ”

"I said Ah Sir, you can call me off, but please don't call me Miss, OK?" He closed the vanity box with a "snap" and said solemnly, "Besides, do you know that you are taking up my sleep time?" Even though I'm not as busy with my work as yours, you've made me very tired and tired now. ”

“OK！ Miss Totoh - Oh no, Toto! Deng Haoran waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your selfless help to the police as an enthusiastic citizen, what did the deceased Chen Si give to that foreigner?" ”

"Oops! Ah Sir, it's not that I don't want to help you, I said that it was dark and the lights were on, and it was so far away that I couldn't see it clearly. If you had to guess, I think it might have been the Photos he mentioned on the phone. ”

Deng Haoran and Long Xirui glanced at each other, and suddenly heard Han Xing grab the phone in the distance and shout in his loud voice: "Boss, another murder, in the Yuehuang Hotel on Shuiyang Street, the deceased is an American, his name is Edward. ”

"Oh-my-god! It can't be that foreigner, right? Totoh said in surprise.

Deng Haoran looked away: "It seems that I can believe what you just said." ”

Deng Haoran was about to take people to the scene, but it happened that as soon as the door of the office opened, Bi Delu and Fan Luqi walked out, followed by Pu Yu, who sent the two out.

Seeing Deng Haoran at a glance, Bi Delu deliberately slanted at him, and said to Pu Yu triumphantly: "The legal society is good!" If the judicial organs were like you, Captain Pu, and knew how to act in accordance with the law, there would not be so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases! ”

Pu Yu said with a smile: "Thank you two for your cooperation with the police." ”

Deng Haoran, who was in the door and outside the door, turned back again, and said with a blue face: "Team Pu, are you just letting them go?" ”

"What? If you don't let us go, will you be illegally detained? Bidley said with a sense of reason.

At this moment, the lens of a camera poked in from the door, and it turned out to be Shi Zhen from the "Seeing and Speaking from the Heart" column group and walked in with the cameraman.

Deng Haoran, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, stretched out his big hand to block the lens of the camera, and shouted at Shizhen: "Chen Si's aftermath hasn't been done yet, do you still have the heart to trouble the police, and you still want to mislead the public with your distorted reports?" ”

"I asked them to come." Bi Delu seemed to be deliberately targeting Deng Haoran, and immediately answered, "Do you think you really cover the sky with one hand!" You think your hands can cover up the truth! Only those who have ghosts in their hearts are afraid to face the camera. ”

As he spoke, he nodded at Shi Zhen, said hello, and then said: "Shi Zhen, I often watch your shows, and now he says that your report is distorted, and you can sue him for slander." ”

Seeing that Deng Haoran was speechless for a while, he hesitantly retracted the hand blocking the camera, and Bi Delu chased after him and said: "You blame the media for reporting the case you can't solve, in my opinion, people are tolerant enough to you, to say an exaggerated word, before the media reports the murderer as a demon or an alien, close the case as soon as possible!" ”

"Okay, you like to play the law so much, I'll play with you." Deng Haoran glared at Bi Delu and said, "The police now have reason to suspect that your client, that is, the Mr. Fan next to you, is related to a murder case." ”

"It seems like there's more than one case now!" Bi Delu, who had just heard Han Xing's loud voice, said, "If you have something to say, don't waste everyone's time." ”

Bi Delu said, while pulling a chair to Fan Luqi, and then sat down himself, and said to Shi Zhen: "As far as I know, there is still no progress in the serial amputation case of your so-called 'Boot Terminator', but you are not in vain, the case of the intern who was shot dead at your TV station does not seem to be simple, I heard that someone was killed again." ”

"You talk so much, it's better to keep it in court." Deng Haoran said hatefully.

Seeing that the two were talking to each other everywhere, Deng Waner hurriedly came over to play a round to persuade Deng Haoran, and Fan Luqi also got up to persuade Bi Delu.

Shi Mingzhu shouted at Han Xing: "Why don't you come over and make a record for them!" ”

Han Xing walked a few steps and said as he walked, "Okay! Let's get it together. ”

"I'll have to go with the boss." Shi Mingzhu said.

"Then I have to go too!" Han Xing said.

Shi Mingzhu's eyes widened, and he slapped a stack of writing paper in front of Han Xing.

"Good, good! I'll go back when I'm done. Han Xing grabbed the notebook paper and sat opposite Fan Luqi.

Seeing the chaos in the police office but powerless, Long Xirui suddenly felt that someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, and when she turned around, she was actually the "super brain" Chi Shanshan.

Chi Shanshan stuffed a note into Long Xirui's hand and said, "The string of numbers you gave me." ”

"What did you find?" Long Xirui asked.

Chi Shanshan held his glasses in his hand and said: "As numbers themselves, they don't seem to have any special meaning, they are more like a few Chinese characters." ”

Long Xirui unfolded the note, only to see that the string of numbers in 908027607726 was divided into three parts, that is, 9080, 2760, and 7726, and under each of the three parts corresponded to a Chinese character - xing, name, and residence.

"Four corner numbers!" Long Xirui blurted out.

Four-corner numbers are one of the common methods of checking characters in Chinese dictionaries, using four or five Arabic numerals to classify Chinese characters.

"Of course, other possibilities are not completely ruled out, but the familiar name of 'Xingmingju' makes me more willing to believe that it is the message that the string of numbers wants to convey."

Long Xirui nodded slightly, she knew that Xingmingju was a very high-level club in the city.

After some mediation, the office finally became quiet.

Deng Haoran took Shi Mingzhu to the scene of the murder, and Long Xirui hurriedly said thank you to Chi Shanshan and went out.

In terms of scale, the Yuehuang Hotel can be described as the leading "old shop" on Shuiyang Street, but due to the rapid rise of the Fengyue Palace in recent years, the business of the Yuehuang Hotel has become increasingly bleak.

The place of the crime was a room on the top floor of the Yuehuang Hotel, and the three of them were stunned as soon as they entered the door, and a tall body in front of them was hanging in the air, it was the "Texas White Pig" Edward, I saw that his head was slightly down, his face was cyanotic, his eyes were turned up, the conjunctiva was congested, and his tongue was slightly spit out.

Surprisingly, Edward was naked, and the most shocking thing was that the thing between his legs was so hard that it was almost perpendicular to his body.

Qiu Zheng from the Forensic Evidence Department had arrived at the scene ahead of time, and he pointed to a chair lying on the ground at Edward's feet and said, "It looks like suicide." ”

"What's going on?" Deng Haoran asked, staring at the thing between Edward's legs.

"You said that 'Optimus Prime'?" Qiu Zheng glanced at Long Xirui and Shi Mingzhu, and said, "I'm sorry for the two of you!" That must be drugs! People have been dead for at least six hours, and they can still maintain this hardness, enough strength! ”

Deng Haoran sneered: "I finally kind of understand why so many people can't stop wanting that thing." ”

Qiu Zheng sighed and said: "That thing, men can't stand it when they use it, women can't stand it when they use it, men and women can't stand it, and the bed can't stand it." ”

Long Xirui and Shi Mingzhu's faces were flushed when they said this, but they couldn't help laughing.

Deng Haoran still looked Edward's body up and down, and said, "I'm worried that he is about to make the roof and that stockings unbearable, Lao Qiu, do you think he is committing suicide?" ”

"People who are addicted to drugs are likely to engage in self-harm." Qiu Zheng said, "But he chose stockings as rope, which is the most painful way to hang himself." Because of the elasticity of the stockings, the time between suffocation and lack of oxygen and death due to organ failure will be more than tripled, and it is believed that this process is very torturous. Judging from the scene, the chair was indeed kicked over by himself, so the judgment of suicide is basically valid. ”

"Is there any evidence of anyone else being there?" Deng Haoran asked.

"Yes, there are shoe prints of high heels on the ground, and lipstick and nail polish have been found on that 'Optimus Prime'."

After listening to Qiu Zheng's analysis, Long Xirui immediately recalled the flowers carved on Lotus's red lips and nails, and when she lowered her head slightly, she saw a slender cigarette butt on the ground, which was an ESSE cigarette that women often smoked, and the red stain could be faintly recognized on the filter.

Long Xirui couldn't help but think of the scene at the time of the crime, Lotus instigated the drug addiction and the fluttering Edward kicked over the chair and hanged herself, and then she leisurely smoked a cigarette opposite, smiled and watched him slowly stick out his tongue, blood oozing from the bottom of his eyes, and finally died in the extreme pain of being betrayed by his lover.
