Chapter 8: The Absent Killer

Rao Peier stood at the door of Jiang Jing's apartment, outside the cordon, and told Qu Zichong in shock: "I can't contact Xia An'an and Pei Jian since last night, so I had to contact their work units, and learned from the kindergarten that Xia An'an has a best friend Jiang Jing, who has a good relationship, and finally asked for Jiang Jing's phone and address." I rushed over early in the morning, knocked on the door and no one answered, called Jiang Jing's mobile phone, and the ringtone actually rang in the house. I tried to open the door, but it was unlocked! ”

Qu Zichong secretly thought that the murderer who killed Jiang Jing must be the killer who intended to kill Xia An'an and Pei Jian, and this killer should be the minions of the big man. It's all just to give that big guy peace of mind that he won't be held accountable for the crimes he committed. The murderer's purpose must be Xia An'an, so to speak, maybe Xia An'an and Pei Jian didn't die, they just hid, the murderer came to ask Jiang Jing where Xia An'an was, and in the end, I don't know if Jiang Jing gave the murderer an answer, because no matter whether Jiang Jing said it or not, the murderer would kill her, the murderer was originally a killer who killed people without blinking, for him, killing one is the same as killing a dozen.

Ran Sinian only stayed at the scene of the crime for only two minutes before turning around and coming out again, and said to Qu Zichong: "Team Qu, I'll go back first, and I'll call you early tomorrow morning if there is any progress." ”

As soon as Rao Pei'er heard that Ran Sinian was going home, she also had to go back with her, because she had just heard Ran Sinian and Qu Zichong say that Xia An'an's matter was related to the rumor-mongering king, and she was anxious to ask Ran Sinian for an explanation.

Because Rao Pei'er was a little frightened, so Ran Sinian was driving, he told Rao Pei'er his reasoning while driving, and finally concluded: "It seems that Xia An'an and Pei Jian are really big shots, and now Xiao Qian is nowhere to be found, it is possible that she has been killed, Xia An'an and Pei Jian have also become frightened birds and hidden, and the killer under this big man may not have the intention of stopping." If you get involved in this matter again, I'm afraid you will be the next Jiang Jing. Listen to me, I'll leave this matter to the police. ”

Rao Pei'er disagreed, "Are you afraid of this?" Even Xiaoqian dared to stand up for justice and openly oppose that big man, you are not even as good as a woman? Ran Sinian, you disappointed me too much. ”

Ran Sinian made a gloomy face and defended himself in a low voice, "I just don't want to make fearless sacrifices, otherwise I would have ...... a long time ago"

"What a long time ago?" Rao Peier may not subconsciously want to believe that Ran Sinian will be a wise person, she has always wanted Ran Sinian to give her an explanation, an explanation that she can accept, "What the hell is going on with you?" What's so hard to say? ”

Ran Sinian bit his lip, struggled for a while, and still spoke, "I used to have an assistant, her name is Jia Ruofan, and she is a little girl who has just graduated from college. ”

Rao Pei'er was ready to listen, but Ran Sinian stopped in the middle of speaking. She looked sideways, Ran Sinian's face was tense, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"What? This Jia Ruofan is the woman you like? Do you like Miao Mei or Jia Ruofan? Rao Pei'er asked with a big grin.

Ran Sinian got out of the whirlpool of memories and continued to narrate: "My feelings for Jia Ruofan are like my sister, she is my younger sister, and she has always admired me and Miao Mei, saying that we are her role models. A year ago, I was a counselor, Miao Mei was my fiancΓ©e, and Jia Ruofan was my right-hand man. But a bombing changed everything. After the explosion with ulterior motives against me, although I survived, I fell into the sequelae of face blindness, which is nothing, and then my female patient also committed suicide inexplicably, I was expelled from the industry, and Miao Mei was extremely disappointed in me and broke up with me. It's nothing! It's just Jia Ruofan, she happened to be in my office at the time...... She is equivalent to being ...... for me. In the end, she couldn't even piece together a whole corpse! ”

Rao Peier covered her mouth, shocked by the last sentence "incomplete patchwork", no wonder, no wonder Ran Sinian's eyes were so sad, no wonder he had a slightly choked tone. It turned out that there was once a young girl who became a victim for him, just like Jiang Jing in this case, Jiang Jing who was innocently involved in the incident!

"I know that the female patient must have involved me in an incident, her dream contains an ulterior secret, and the powerful and mysterious force behind it did not hesitate to blow up me, the person who tried to dig up the secret, in order to cover up this secret, and this was not enough, they also single-handedly planned the suicide of the female patient," Ran Sinian gradually regained his composure, and narrated in a calm tone, "If I had given up investigating it when I realized that the female patient's dream was wrong, Jia Ruofan would not have died tragically." In the past year, I have never dared to blatantly investigate the female patient, because I am afraid that my abnormal movements will provoke the people or organizations behind it, we are so small, and we are just killing ourselves, understand? ”

Rao Peier can be regarded as getting the reason she wants, a sufficient reason, she no longer blames Ran Sinian for being timid, but she still can't agree with this attitude of sitting idly by, "I understand, but, about this big man's case, if you are asked to withdraw now, can you be at ease, when nothing happened?" ”

"Do your best," Ran Sinian sighed, "I believe that Team Qu will find out the truth, and I have already promised him to help him one last time tonight, of course, the last time for this case." I advise you to get out as soon as possible, maybe that big man's minions, that killer has already targeted you, I don't want to be affected by you, just like I was involved with Jia Ruofan at the beginning. ”

Rao Peier reacted, thinking, maybe this should be thought about in reverse, Ran Sinian refused to help at the beginning, and was involved in the incident of offending the big man, maybe he was also worried that he would affect his current "female assistant"? Thinking of this, Rao Peier smiled bitterly and laughed at herself, she was really self-inflicted.

At night, Ran Sinian lay in bed and gave two orders to himself and his dreams, first, to return to the three places designated by the rumor-mongering king, and look for the killer who attempted to kill in the surveillance video; Second, it is necessary to return to Jiang Jing's home, the scene of the crime, and look for the clues left by the murderer.

Bus terminal, food court and waiting room, Ran Sinian continued to wander around these three locations in his dream, looking for targets in the crowd, this time, under his orders, the subconscious did ignore the protagonists Xia An'an and Pei Jian in last night's dream, and concentrated on looking for the suspicious element that appeared around the two of them, but when he turned back, Ran Sinian did not find any suspicious elements!

No, there are no sneaky people on the side of Xia An'an and Pei Jianjian, and there is not even a person with the same behavioral characteristics. Ran Sinian searched back and forth in these three places three times, but he didn't find his goal. In other words, either the killer did not appear at all, or the killer appeared three times and all performed perfectly, and the three appearances showed three different behavioral characteristics, even the slightest physical angles, all different. Ran Sinian knew that the second possibility was very unlikely. Because if it is in reality, Ran Sinian will not be able to recognize some people he has seen because of his face blindness and insufficient observation of everyone's behavioral characteristics, but in his dreams, Ran Sinian's observation ability is absolutely perceptive, as long as it is a person he has seen, the behavioral characteristics of that person will be magnified and stored in the subconscious a hundred times, and he can be extracted and recognized at will, and meet again, as if it were not the person's stone carving, he would not be motionless, otherwise it would be impossible for Ran Sinian to be unrecognizable. In the dream, Ran Sinian did not see anyone motionless in the bus station, food court and waiting room, if there is really someone motionless, in the waiting room can be said, you can pretend to be asleep, but if it is in the bus station and food court, such a person will only attract Ran Sinian's attention more.

So the result of Ran Sinian's determination was that the killer did not show up at all, and he was not at those three scenes!

In the blink of an eye, Ran Sinian had already teleported from the waiting station to Jiang Jing's home, which was the scene of the crime. It is as neat as in the daytime, except for the bed sheets where the deceased is lying are a little wrinkled, the rest of the furniture and furnishings are maintained in their original state, if the murderer helped Jiang Jing tidy up the room after the murder, in case he left any traces, then this murderer is indeed a bold and careful professional killer; But there is also a possibility, that is, the murderer hit with one blow, and there was no fight in the room at all, which also shows that the murderer is a professional killer with clean and neat movements.

After scanning the general situation of the room, Ran Sinian's attention suddenly focused on the only large window in the room, he stood in front of the window and looked out, suddenly, his eyes locked on a window one floor higher than Jiang Jing's house in the opposite building, as if the camera was rapidly zooming in, constantly zooming in on the image, and seeing the changes that occurred in the second behind the window clearly. Immediately afterwards, Ran Sinian's line of sight became slow motion again, so the figure that flashed in front of the window, the figure holding the black object in his hand, and the quickly tightened curtains were all frozen into a frame by frame picture by Ran Sinian.

It turned out that in Jiang Jing's case, they also had an eyewitness hidden in the shadows. This young man, who has a habit of peeking at the building opposite with a telescope, is very likely to have been peeping last night and saw the murderer in Jiang Jing's room. This voyeuristic witness was still curious to peep at the situation after the police arrived during the day, and found through the telescope that Ran Sinian was looking in his direction through the window, so he retracted and closed the curtains in a hurry.

Ran Sinian walked to the side of the bed and looked down at Jiang Jing's body. Jiang Jing was lying flat on the bed, with her hands staggered on her abdomen, which was obviously a peaceful posture that the murderer had posed for Jiang Jing. Why did the murderer do this? Maybe the murderer has a certain sense of guilt for Jiang Jing, right?

His eyes swept over Jiang Jing's corpse, and just as he was about to leave the bed, Ran Sinian noticed a detail, which was Jiang Jing's bed sheet. It was a pink floral sheet, with five petals for each small red flower, only one of them, and one flower in an inconspicuous position at the foot of the bed had six petals.

Could it be a drop of blood? No, Jiang Jing was strangled to death, and there should be no bleeding spots all over her body. So this drop of blood is the murderer's?

Ran Sinian searched the room again, and there was only one red dot that resembled blood droplets. Could it be that all the other blood stains have been wiped by the murderer? Only this little drop left on the sheets was ignored by the murderer?

I don't know if Qu Zichong also ignored the small red dot on the sheet that seemed to be bloodstained. Ran Sinian thought to himself, maybe this is just a small flaw in the sheets when they were printed and dyed, even if it is really bloodstains, and now there is not even a suspect, who can be compared with it?

After waking up in the morning and washing up, Ran Sinian received a call from Qu Zichong, Qu Zichong said that he was rushing to him, Ran Sinian could hear that Qu Zichong was quite excited, and he must have thought that Ran Sinian's dream would point him in the direction of the investigation, and the case would soon progress, but Ran Sinian knew that he was going to disappoint Qu Zichong.
