Hearing the name Ding Ruiyan, Deng Haoran's pupils dilated instantly, he looked at Qiu Zheng in surprise, and then looked at Long Xirui, and said, "So she also got into the murderer's car?" ”

"I'm afraid there is a possibility of worse." Long Xirui said with a solemn face.

As soon as the words fell, Li Dalong ran into the office from outside in a panic, panting and said, "There is a situation!" Boss, someone called to report the crime, and the third victim has been found. ”

The scene of the crime was actually opposite the café called Pompeii outside the British community. When everyone rushed there, they saw that in the center of the police blockade was the blue snowman that once reflected blue light at night and became famous all over the city overnight, but its poop belly was cut out of a big hole. Although the area is isolated by a police cordon, it is already surrounded by reporters, all of whom are taking pictures and videos with "long guns and short guns" despite the cold. One of the women with long hair and slightly curly hair in the microphone suddenly attracted Deng Haoran's attention, it was none other than Shi Zhen, the anchor of "Seeing and Speaking New Language".

"It's her again! This haunting fellow! Deng Haoran muttered.

The police officer guarding the scene handed Deng Haoran a few photos and said: "Team Deng, a few elementary school students had a snowball fight here at noon, and the snowball inadvertently broke the snowman's belly, revealing the suitcase buried inside, and inside the suitcase was the female victim in the photo." ”

Deng Haoran looked at the photo, but he could hardly believe his eyes, because what he saw was a naked Ding Ruiyan curled up in a suitcase, just like Pi Qian and He Like, the part of her legs below the knee was missing. Even though he has been working in the Serious Crime Team of the Criminal Police Team for many years, he has long been familiar with all kinds of major homicide cases, but when he sees the people around him becoming innocent victims, Deng Haoran is still as pale as earth, unable to accept this cruel fact, and it is even more difficult to contain the shock and sadness in his heart.

Seeing that he was looking at the photo without saying a word, the police officer said: "The victim has been transferred to the ambulance, and we have just contacted her family." According to the doctor's examination, there is no life-threatening situation for the time being. However, I found that several children at the scene were not very good, and they were all scared to a little insane. ”

Deng Haoran didn't care about Long Xirui standing beside him at this moment, took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it a few puffs to calm his panicked mood, and then stepped forward to open the door of the ambulance, and saw Ding Ruiyan lying unconscious on a stretcher.

At this time, there was a woman's crying voice behind him, and everyone looked back and saw Deng Waner walking slowly with an old woman in his arms. The old man's silver hair was messy, and he was in tears, and Deng Waner was also in tears, sobbing and choking on the side.

Seeing the sad and mournful appearance of the two, Long Xirui couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes.

Deng Haoran whispered in her ear: "That's Ding Ruiyan's mother." ”

As soon as he saw Deng Haoran, Deng Waner cried bitterly: "Brother! Why is this happening?! ”

Deng Haoran took a deep puff of cigarette again, then threw away the still long cigarette butt, stepped forward and said, "Auntie, the doctor said that Ruiyan is not in danger of her life at present. Wan'er, first accompany my aunt to my car to rest, and I'll take care of Ruiyan's affairs. ”

Deng Wan'er nodded tearfully, Ding's mother trembled and grabbed Deng Haoran's hand tightly, and wailed heartbrokenly: "Oh my God! How can there be such a crazy bad guy in the world! Haoran, you must catch that murderer! ”

Deng Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, I will definitely do it!" ”

After settling Deng Waner and Ding's mother, and the ambulance also sent Ding Ruiyan away, Deng Haoran lit another cigarette and asked the police: "What are the clues at present?" ”

"Most of the clues at the moment are about the snowman, which was piled up by Yang Weixue, the owner of the coffee house in the ancient city of Pompeii opposite, before it got dark yesterday. ”

After listening to the words of the policeman, Long Xirui turned her eyes to the coffee house and saw that Yang Weixue had just pushed open the door and stood at the door, as if waiting for them.

At this time, there were no guests in the coffee house, it was very quiet, a row of simple glass windows completely isolated the terrifying crime scene from the outside, and a steaming cup of coffee made everyone quickly enter the role and start the investigation of the case.

"You built the snowman on the other side?" Deng Haoran asked Yang Weixue.

"Yes."

"You guys all by yourself?"

"At that time, several of my employees were off work, and I did it myself from start to finish."

"Why build this snowman?"

"The first snow of this winter in this city, I also improvised it on a whim."

Deng Haoran took a sip of coffee and asked, "Then how do you explain the suitcase hidden in the snowman's belly?" ”

Yang Weixue was silent for a while, the expression on her face did not change slightly, and she said slowly: "When it was just dark, the snowman was piled up, and then I came back here and looked at it through the glass from time to time. Because the snowman turned blue under the neon lights on my roof, there were many passers-by who stopped nearby to take pictures. After about ten o'clock, I went back to my room and went to sleep. ”

"You want to say you don't know anything about that suitcase."

Yang Weixue nodded slightly.

At this time, as soon as the door opened, Han Xing walked in from the outside, picked up the half cup of coffee that Shi Mingzhu had drunk and drank it all, and said, "Boss, there is no 'disappearing image' this time, because there are no cameras installed in this vicinity at all." ”

Deng Haoran turned his face and asked Yang Weixue again: "Ms. Yang, do you live here alone at night?" ”

Yang Weixue had a look of hesitation on her face, thought for a while and said, "Yes." With that, Yang Weixue asked the waiter to give Han Xing a cup of coffee.

Deng Haoran also paused slightly, and asked again: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Actually, I have to face insomnia every day, and when I can't sleep, I often drink a glass of warm milk, which is said to help me sleep. Last night was no exception, and I used to sit here and drink a glass of milk. ”

Long Xirui was sitting opposite Yang Weixue, she turned her head to look, and she could just look directly at the snowman through the glass window.

"What did you see at the time?" Deng Haoran asked.

"I remember it was still snowing, and when I turned on the lights, it felt like a figure flashed past the snowman, and then I heard the sound of a car starting."

Long Xirui noticed that there was a small table lamp on each table in the coffee house, and she reached out to light the one in front of her, the reddish light was as romantic and warm as candlelight.

"Is this the light you on?" Deng Haoran asked again.

"That's right."

"And what kind of figure did you see at the time?"

Yang Weixue said: "I can't be sure, not even sure if it's a figure or not. ”

Deng Haoran sighed and said, "Then have you seen the appearance of the car?" ”

"No, but I did hear the engine starting, I can assure you."

"Remember what time it was?"

"When I was mixing milk, I saw that the clock at the front desk was 2:15 a.m."

As he was saying this, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking from inside. Deng Haoran and the others immediately got up and walked in the direction where the voice came from. Bypassing the front desk, there was a wooden door in front of me, and everyone unanimously judged that the sound was coming from the door.

"That's my room." Yang Weixue trotted over and said.

"Can we go in and have a look?" Deng Haoran asked.

"This ......"

Seeing Yang Weixue looking embarrassed, Han Xing knew that it was inconvenient for Deng Haoran to force his way in, so he pretended to be reckless and turned the doorknob into the room.

"Han Xing!" Deng Haoran snorted, but a pair of eyes had already begun to fully scan the furnishings in the room, only to see the water flowing under the coffee table, and some broken glass scattered nearby. Apparently, a glass filled with water had just been broken.

In front of me was a living room, and there was a door closed inside.

Deng Haoran pointed to the door and said to Yang Weixue, "Is there anyone else in your room?" ”

"Nope!" Yang Weixue usually doesn't speak loudly, but at this time, she suddenly amplified her volume.

Everyone saw her nervousness, and Han Xing simply reached out to open the door again.

As soon as the door opened, a cold air greeted me, and the bedroom window was wide open, swaying back and forth in the cold wind.

There really was no one in the bedroom.

"Ms. Yang, burglary cases are not uncommon now, even if you are at home, you should pay attention to closing the doors and windows!" Deng Haoran said as he walked quickly to the window, only to see a series of footprints on the snow under the window.

Yang Weixue also followed, looking at the footprints and exclaiming, "Oops! It turns out that there are really thieves! ”

Long Xirui looked around at the bedroom, which was neatly furnished, and there was no trace of being turned over. But a stack of papers on the floor caught her attention, especially with several large bold letters printed in the lower right corner of one of them: D&B. Long Xirui pulled out the piece of paper and saw the color print on it and a line of English annotation below: The-morphology-of-skin-keratinocytes-at-day-7-after-useage-of-Admiration. Next to the stack of papers, a bath towel was dropped on the floor. The two things of paper and bath towel reminded Long Xirui of a person - a little red.

Seeing Long Xirui thinking there alone, Deng Haoran walked over, looked at the letters of D&B on the paper, and said strangely: "Huh! Isn't that the cosmetics company I was involved in my investigation of cold storage? Yeah! The name of the company is Double-Beauty. ”

At this time, Yang Weixue came to the two of them and was also looking at the paper.

"Ms. Yang, is this your thing?" Deng Haoran picked up the piece of paper and asked.

"Oh! A friend sent me some information that I don't really understand. ”

"Ms. Yang, then you can see if there is anything missing, we can file a case for investigation."

Yang Weixue briefly checked the room, and Long Xirui saw that she had put the stack of paper into the drawer of the bedside table, and quietly stuffed the bath towel under the pillow.

"Captain Deng, I didn't find anything important missing, it seems that it was you who came in in time and scared away the thief who was about to commit the crime." Yang Weixue said, "I know that you are very busy handling cases, and you haven't lost anything anyway, so I think it's better to forget about the case!" ”

Deng Haoran took people out of Yang Weixue's room and whispered to Long Xirui: "I think there is something suspicious about what Yang Weixue said. ”

"Hmm!" Long Xirui nodded, "There are some things she seems to be deliberately hiding, I think we should go and look at those footprints outside the window." ”
