Chapter 5: A Blank Night

After Chief Luo and the other police officers looked around, they came back mysteriously and said to Sharana, "Well, I have figured it out, and this case is indeed under your control. I went back and prepared the official paperwork and handed over the case. โ€

Sharana smirked for a moment: "It should have been like this." After Director Luo and the others got in the car and walked away, she woke up, "Isn't that right?" This person lost the case, why did he smile? She asked the old horse to look around for Aztec script.

Soon, the old horse and the others found strange drawings under the base of the wall not far from the corpse, all of them were boxy little people, and there were some strange symbols on the left hand side of the little figures.

These villains are exquisitely patterned, very decorative and artistic, each villain is composed of lines, it is estimated that it takes about ten minutes for college students in the art department to draw a villain, but there are a total of twenty-two villains on the wall, each is different.

The tools used for painting should be sharp objects such as knives, and the lines are carved directly into the wall - much like a work of carved art.

Xiao Ye slapped at the statues - this is also the evidence left over from the crime scene.

Sharana tilted her head to look at the little figures, and suddenly noticed that Xiao Ye's expression was strange: his two brows were lowered, and his lips were tightly pursedโ€”which made his mouth look smaller.

"Do you know who the killer is?" Sharana asked.

Xiao Ye raised his head and sighed, and said, "The murderer's name is Bai Xinruo, and he is the most dangerous female criminal in China. In the world of criminal psychology, she is as enigmatic as she is known as the Man Who Can't Profile. The people she killed included old men in their seventies, teenagers in fifteen or sixteen, and young girls in the flower season. The tools used in the crime include axes, daggers, wooden sticks, ropes, and fire. The only thing that is the same appears two years ago, when she suddenly left Aztec text near the crime scene, believed to be announcing the crime of the person she killed, because there are no Aztec experts in China, and these words are only speculation at the moment. โ€

Shalana said: "Since her criminal methods are so diverse, why is Ren Qiuling so sure that there will be Aztec characters nearby when she sees the scene?" โ€

Xiao Ye said: "At present, there are more than a dozen criminal psychologists in China who study Bai Xinruo, and one of them is Ren Qiuling -- this criminal is very dangerous, and my teacher was killed by her in the process of tracking her, and he died a very tragic death. I won't take over this case, I advise you not to investigate it, if Bai Xin has supernatural abilities, it is indeed not something we can deal with. โ€

Shalana suddenly realized that Director Luo handed over the case to himself so happily because it was too dangerous. She remembered Ren Qiuling's words: "If you meet her, hurry up and show that you love your wife very much, and maybe you can escape." โ€

Sharana also wanted to know more about Bai Xinruo, but Xiao Ye seemed to be frightened, refused to say anything, and resolutely wanted to leave.

Sharana knew that with her father's power, she only needed to solve a big case to be promoted. You don't have to work as hard as Ren Qiuling, you can't even keep your job after solving countless cases.

Now that the big case has hit the door, how could she miss such an opportunity?

If you want to solve the case, you have to find Ren Qiuling.

But thinking of Ren Qiuling, Shalana felt that this person had to die, she was too capable, and it would be a scourge to stay. Of course, Ren Qiuling is still useful at present, and she has to be allowed to play a role before she can die.

In the evening, Shalana called her father's secretary Jane and asked him to find a way to kill Ren Qiuling. That person was very loyal to his father and could be trusted.

"Do you know Ren Qiuling's teacher?" Secretary Jane said, "It's called Lan Jin." โ€

Sharana said, "You know? โ€

Secretary Jian said on the phone: "Lan Jin's initial goal was to use profiling in front-line detection. But what is she doing now? I am teaching, I am doing theoretical research. More than ten years ago, Lan Jin's lover was working in the special affairs department and received something with a curse. According to the hint, he must solve a case within nine days or he will die. The incident alarmed the high-level, gathered a lot of experts, and used high-tech means such as DNA identification, and the case is still unsolved. Lan Jin's lover died. Lan Jin didn't cry at that time, but her hair turned half white overnight. Since then, the direction of Lanjin's efforts has changed, and it has become theoretical research and teaching. โ€

Sharana couldn't imagine what it would be like for a criminal psychologist to be unable to solve a crime and watch her lover die tragically. But what a pain it was to lose half of your hair overnight.

Secretary Jian didn't seem to have any sympathy for Lan Jin's plight, he still said flatly: "That thing, for now, is kept in the Provincial Yi Academy, and I can bring it to you with some means." Remember, you don't unpack it yourself, or you'll be the one who dies. โ€

Sharana couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the name of that thing?" โ€

Secretary Jane told her, "Nine sons ghost mother lamp." โ€

The name alone gave Sharana goosebumps.

Early the next morning, according to Ren Qiuling's profile, Lao Ma and the others quickly found out the identity of the victim, who was Li Moumou, a girl from the high school of Binjiang No. 1 Middle School. This girl's family conditions are average, so she studies very hard. She has good grades and good appearance, but she can't get along with her classmates, and she is indeed more introverted. And Ren Qiuling speculated that this girl was pursued by two boys at the same time, and it could not be verified, because no one knew the news of her love.

While Lao Ma and the others went to investigate the victim, Shalana herself came to the door and asked Ren Qiuling for Bai Xinruo's detailed information - at this time, Xiao Ye had already left Binjiang, so she had to go out alone.

When Shalana is employing people, she can say nice things. She apologized to Ren Qiuling, and then asked for advice.

Ren Qiuling sat behind the chairman's desk and didn't speak for a while. Finally, she took out a scrapbook about five centimeters thick and said, "This is all Bai Xinruo's information, she is indeed a very fascinating crime, and she is very valuable for research." โ€

Shalana thanked her and took the scrapbook and flipped through it. After only a few pages, she felt that her eyelids were heavy and she wanted to sleep. It turned out that she had no fate with books since she was a child, and she was sleepy when she read so many words. Closing the scrapbook, she asked, "Bai Xinruo was originally a simple girl, why did she become a cruel criminal later?" โ€

Ren Qiuling thought for a while and said, "Bai Xinruo's parents run a small shop for her to go to school. When she was in her third year of high school, one day she made dinner for her parents, and was dragged into the woods by three thugs on the way and lost. She didn't tell anyone about it, but she dressed up beautifully, and dangled down that road every dayโ€”she carried a sharp knife in her arms. By chance, she met three thugs again and stabbed one of them to death. โ€

Shalana fell asleep and exclaimed, "Good stab! โ€

Ren Qiuling sighed: "The court judgment believes that the other party's crime against her has stopped from the moment she put on her pants, and the circumstances of her violation cannot be verified because of the passage of time, so she is not excessive self-defense, but intentional homicide." Nian had a good attitude in admitting her guilt, so she was sentenced to 15 years. โ€

As a fellow girl, Sharana could feel the deep malice contained in this verdict. Isn't this telling girls not to resist and not to retaliate when they encounter similar incidents? She has always believed that the law protects the weak, but what point of such a judgment reflects the original intent of the legislation? It only reflects the judge's will - it is definitely the judgment of a male judge.

Bai Xinruo was imprisoned for about ten years before being released. She has no survival skills and can only do hard work. However, she began to show her talent for crime, and smashed the heads of several strong men with wooden sticks. However, the judge did not believe that the woman could do such a thing, and although she was caught, she was acquitted. This cultivated her anti-detection ability, and later her criminal methods gradually diversified, and the tools she used were also varied. โ€

But about two years ago, she had an accident. The accident ruined half of her face, it was burned. After severe burns, she gained the ability to set fire to her mind. But she only burns the girls in love with fire, and for the boys, she still likes to use sticks, axes, and ropes. โ€

Shalana listened to Bai Xinruo's story and felt that she had gained a lot. After leaving Difan Restaurant, she woke up: Ren Qiuling said a lot, but these did not help her solve the case.

When she went to Binjiang Railway Station to pick up Secretary Jane, she saw a couple who looked like junior high school students in the waiting room.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, "It's jealousy!" If Bai Xin kills a girl, it is out of jealousy! Because half of her face was burned, she couldn't fall in love, and she was jealous of the girls in love, so she burned them to death. โ€

At this time, a middle-aged man in a trench coat and sunglasses walked up to Sharana with a heavy wooden box. This person is obese, and he doesn't look like Secretary Jane at all.

Sharana was still looking at the platform, and the man said, "Nine Sons Ghost Mother Lamp!" Placing the wooden box at Sharana's feet, he turned and walked into the bathroom.

Sharana understood at once, she looked left and right, no one noticed her, and then she picked up the wooden box and walked out of the waiting room.

After laboriously moving the wooden box to the car, Sharana couldn't help but feel proud, and called Ren Qiuling and said, "Now, I already know how to solve the case, you can die." โ€

Ren Qiuling, who received such a call, just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart. She just took over Difan Restaurant, and some friends in the business said that they wanted to give her a small celebration, which would be very important for her future development, and she had no intention of thinking about anything else.

At first, she simply thought that the celebration would be for everyone to meet, chat, and eat something to communicate. Unexpectedly, the celebration turned out to be a battlefield without gunsmoke, all kinds of open and secret battles, you come and go. She really has a long experience, it turns out that the most complicated psychological case in the world is the celebration, thanks to her good psychology foundation, this is the trick.

After the celebration, she received a large number of gifts, including flower baskets, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and so on. One of the more special things is an old-fashioned wooden box sent by a real estate developer. The box was particularly heavy, and the outside was nailed with iron sheets and strips. There were some unrecognizable characters on the surface of the boxโ€”indeed Chinese characters, but Ren Qiuling couldn't recognize a single word, as if it were Taoist characters. The characters were branded onto the wooden box with a red-hot iron, which shows that a lot of effort was taken.

This was an obviously problematic item, and Ren Qiuling originally wanted to open it to check what it was. But it was too late to help Lee Myung-bak take care of the flowers and plants, so she hurriedly got off work and went to Tofu Alley to water the flowers and water them, except for the insects. By this time it was already dusk.

Coming out of Tofu Alley, Ren Qiuling hurriedly walked on the streets of Haifeng Road. The street lights have been turned on, and the lights of ordinary people's homes have also been turned on one after another, and now it is the time for the family to reunite after a busy day, and the warm lights shine on Ren Qiuling's loneliness.

She wrapped her coat tightly, her high heels "clicked", dragged the shadow stretched by the street lamp, and walked along the road to the scene of the murder - back street.

The tall buildings on Haifeng Road blocked the sunlight, and the lighting on the back street was not good in broad daylight, and now it is even more gloomy. Used book stalls, antique stalls, and food stalls are the three mainstream businesses on the back street, and now there is no shadow in sight.

What Ren Qiuling was thinking about was why the lover came to this street to announce her love? Psychologically, she has not yet gotten rid of the identity of the detective.

The victim, Li Moumou, should usually go to the back street to buy some cheap old books and eat something - she is quite familiar with her surroundings, which makes her feel safe.

Ren Qiuling guessed that she should come later, for such a girl, every night walk is an adventure, very exciting. She was nervously carrying the glue, holding a small advertisement under her other arm, and possibly wearing a mask on her face. Every twenty meters or so, she posted a small advertisement on the wall, announcing her love to the world in this special way.

Now, there's a girl doing something similar.

Under the protection of Lao Ma, Heipi and others, Sharana was holding a tweeter and shouting loudly as she walked: "I'm in love!" La-la-la! I'm in love! La-la-la! Maybe because she had been screaming for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse, and she couldn't hear any emotion, only a sense of exhaustion.

Ren Qiuling smiled, it turned out that this was the trick Sharana came up with to solve the case.
