In the real world, at one o'clock in the afternoon of February 8, in the gorgeous and solemn Western-style restaurant of the Jinghu Resort on Dusk Island in Linyang City, hundreds of police officers and soldiers who were busy investigating the crashed plane in the morning were eating around a dozen tables. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"This case feels very unsettling to me, a lot like a case I was familiar with before." Luo Xuan, the city's police chief, said vaguely while eating grilled fish that was a specialty of Dusk Island.

"Today, the Director, you have made a rather disturbing impression on me, I almost thought ...... Thought it was ......," Xiao Yunye, a subordinate sitting across from him, hesitated and said.

"Think what's wrong? I'm just improvising. Luo Xuan wiped the corners of his mouth full of oils with a napkin, and said with a gentle smile.

I don't look back after my head, it's just a god stick who dances the gods.

"Hehe, this is my style of handling cases, I always do what comes to my mind, so it will cause you some misunderstandings. But it was on that beach that I did think of my daughter. Luo Xuan didn't care about the evil in Xiao Yunye's mouth, but said lightly: "Because that pair of footprints is indeed very similar to my daughter's, no, not similar, but completely consistent." ”

"What do you think of those footprints, Director? Why do such a pair of footprints appear out of thin air on the beach? "Xiao Yunye is a supernatural event that he witnessed today, a few days ago, it was rumored in the police station that dozens of corpses were missing in the hospital, and there was no movement in the middle of the night, and it was scary enough to go back by himself, but in Xiao Yunye's ears, it was just a strange story, but seeing a pair of footprints with his own eyes is another matter, if he didn't find an exact explanation, I'm afraid it was really enough to impact the worldview formed by Xiao Yunye in the past fifty years.

"How do I know, I didn't find anything unusual in the sand collected there today, I can only be sure that the pair of feet belong to women, and they are quite close to my daughter." Luo Xuan said tepidly, he had been following the pair of footprints that appeared out of thin air, and finally found that this pair of footprints actually walked directly into the sea, and it seemed that there was really an invisible person standing in front of them, walking into the sea step by step.

"By the way, how did you know for sure it was your daughter's footprints?" Xiao Yunye glanced at Luo Xuan, whose face remained unchanged, with a more subtle and perverted look, and recognized that this was his daughter's just when he saw a pair of footprints, which made people wonder if someone had ever "studied" his daughter's little feet with a serious expression on a dark and windy night.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something rude, so old, don't be so disrespectful to the old!" Luo Xuan's dead fish eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he cleared his throat and signaled Xiao Yunye not to think crookedly: "Do you know what is the easiest and most straightforward way to identify a person?" ”

"This ...... There seems to be a lot of sayings, right? Some people have said to read minds, some people have looked at eyes, some people have said to look at clothes......" Xiao Yunye said uncertainly, he had also read a lot of books related to criminal investigation, and he had personally practiced interrogating many prisoners, but he still didn't dare to pack tickets.

"However, based on my years of experience, I think it's the feet. The first is the shoes on his feet, which is a cliché, many people wear people who look like dogs, in fact, they are slapping their swollen faces and becoming fat, and we sweep his shoes, we know where he often walks, what is the real income level, everyone in this world wears masks, but few people can put masks on their feet; The second is the foot itself, through the size of the foot we can see the approximate body shape and height of the person, which is not far from ten; The degree of markings and erosions on the feet can be partially judged by the degree of a person's health, and the living habits of people with nail fungus will definitely not be hygienic; And through the person's walking posture and stride, we can judge a lot of things, some specific professions are like military security guards, walking posture is different from others, and a person's stride distance can tell us more......" Luo Xuanyang was about to start a large discussion on "the wonderful use of feet in the criminal investigation process", but was still interrupted by Xiao Yunye, who couldn't hold back his laughter:

"As a result, Director, you just want to divert the conversation from your daughter's feet, right? Chief, you can admit it! Xiao Yunye didn't expect to find the two attributes of "daughter control" and "foot control" from his top boss at the same time today, and the image of Luo Xuan, who had always been a little cold and unfathomable, suddenly collapsed a little in his heart, and he who had always spoken to Luo Xuan was a little trembling, and it was rare for him to make a joke.

"Don't joke with me about this." However, Luo Xuan didn't know what the pain was, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy, he suddenly stood up and slammed the table with his hand, and the food and drinks on the table trembled with his punch.

The restaurant that was still noisy just now suddenly quieted down because of Luo Xuan's punch, and everyone looked at Luo Xuan, who suddenly stood up with a twisted and hideous expression, and Xiao Yunye, who was sitting opposite him, didn't expect Luo Xuan to have such a big reaction, his hand shook, and the teapot he had just picked up splashed a piece of water on his police uniform.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm a little out of shape, let's go on." Luo Xuan sat down and took a deep breath, rubbed his wrinkled forehead, and took another sip of tea before returning to his usual calm without waves, but the gaze he swept away from Xiao Yunye still sent chills down Xiao Yunye's back, Xiao Yunye felt that this look was almost the same as the eyes of the murderer he had seen in prison before, could it be that he had just moved his murderous intent?

The restaurant was buzzing again, but it didn't have the same cheerful atmosphere as before.

Luo Xuan supported his head with his head, his face sank in the gloom for almost two minutes, and only after another two minutes did he raise his head and say in a dull and hoarse voice: "We have worked together for so many years, have you seen my wife?" ”

"Never." Xiao Yunye shook his head, he and Luo Xuan have been working together for almost seven years, and they used to be partners in the traffic accident team, but they have never seen Luo Xuan's wife, he has always guessed that it is about divorce, after all, it is not strange that the master has a mid-life crisis. It's that three years ago, I occasionally saw his beautiful daughter who was quite understanding, it seems that she is called Luo Ruyan, right? , it's a pity that Xiao Yunye hasn't seen this beautiful girl since she was sent to school abroad three years ago.

"Do you know why I sent my daughter abroad? even agreed to sponsor her heartless boyfriend to go abroad together? Luo Xuan asked coldly again.

"This ...... I really don't know. Xiao Yunye knew that Luo Xuan's family was generous, and his daughter Luo Ruyan was one of the smartest people, but three years ago, I don't know why, Luo Xuan didn't hesitate to send her daughter to school in the UK despite her daughter's resistance, and when Luo Ruyan proposed to send her boyfriend out of the country together, she also agreed, I heard that they went to the internationally famous Sacred Heart University, and they had to support the studies of two people, which was also a very heavy burden for Luo Xuan, but Luo Xuan still agreed without blinking an eye, It's a bit unbelievable.

"Eight years ago, when my daughter was 18 years old, she received a pretty beautiful box of birthday presents at the door of her room, and she opened the gift box in front of me and many of my friends and relatives, and the contents completely ruined her adult birthday, and it became a nightmare that many of us will never forget." Luo Xuan expounded a fact that had already happened in an indifferent tone, his train of thought was a little out of the box, and Xiao Yunye didn't understand what he wanted to say.

"Inside is a man's severed foot." Luo Xuan's words made Xiao Yunye feel a chill on his back.

"At the time, no one could recognize whose feet it was, and I didn't know until a month later that it was the feet of my wife, who was in a cold war with me at the time, who had not even visited her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, and who was said to be visiting her family'. From that day on, I swear that I will never forget anyone's feet again, every detail about the feet of my loved ones, I will never forget. Luo Xuan said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, I don't know......" Xiao Yunye apologized in fear.

"I'll never forget the shape of the severed foot, 37 yards, calluses on the soles of the feet, red nail polish on the nails, a red rope with a bell wrapped around the ankle, from the ankle was sawn off with a jagged murder weapon, and half of the leg bone was hidden in the flesh." Luo Xuan just stated what he saw back then in a voice without waves.

"My daughter was on her knees holding on to that foot, and I knew she recognized it at the time, but she just clung to that foot and didn't say anything." Luo Xuan remembered the petite and inexplicably strong back in his memory, and he felt distressed, but his voice was still so hoarse and ugly.

"At that time, the box containing the 'gift' was painted with a lighthouse symbol, and no one knew it, it was just the beginning of a series of nightmares. And my wife was the first victim of the 'lighthouse serial murder case', the biggest evil case in Linyang City eight years ago. Luo Xuan took out a small notebook from the pocket on his chest, and spread it out to Xiao Yunye, the notebook was densely filled with various records and testimonies, which seemed to be the records left by Luo Xuan when he was investigating the case, and Luo Xuan turned to the last page, showing that Xiao Yunye is quite familiar with the symbol, which is not unfamiliar to everyone in Linyang City, and the symbol is scribbled with watercolor pen, which may be a nightmare that the city can never dissolve and a certain symbolic existence.

A bright red lighthouse stands above a dark sea, illuminating the dark night sky, above which a blood-colored moon hangs.

"But Director, isn't Ran Hongyi, the culprit of this murder, already ambushed? What are you still so obsessed with in the past? Xiao Yunye tried to comfort Luo Xuan, who had a persistent vision shining with no reason, this seemingly unfathomable director had always had an insoluble knot in his heart because of a case that had been solved, Xiao Yunye had both sympathy and some unprovoked fear in his heart.

"If you don't catch it, this case is far from being solved! Ran Hongyi is just a scapegoat, my intuition has never been wrong, not to mention, I still have evidence! Luo Xuan said anxiously, his voice suddenly raised, and the subordinates around him looked sideways.

Xiao Yunye felt that Luo Xuan at this time no longer had the feeling of walking like a mountain in the courtyard before, he was now like a child who suddenly woke up from a nightmare, trying all means to seek recognition and approval from others, and recognize the gloom in his dream......
