W City.

Tianduyuan Garden Villa Community.

Shen Yi stood in an unnoticed corner not far from the entrance of the community.

He had a Chinese cigarette in his mouth, his eyes half-squinting at the community, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't move.

After smoking a cigarette, Shen Yi threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it a few times.

Touching his pocket, he took out the leftover half pack of China, as well as a few hundred-yuan bills, he casually grabbed a passerby by and stuffed the cigarette and money into his hand: "I've given it to you, buddy." ”

The pedestrian looked at Shen Yi dumbfounded, and Shen Yi walked towards the community with his bag on his back.

When he came to the gate of the community, several community security guards stopped Shen Yi.

"I sent the courier. Shen Yi pointed to the courier overalls on his body, as well as the bag on his back.

"Why don't you have a car to deliver the courier?"

Shen Yi pointed to the other end: "Stop over there, something is wrong, I'm repairing." ”

"Then let's log in, do you bring your ID card?"

Shen Yi handed over his ID card to the security guard: "You guys have been in charge of it very tightly recently, and now you have to register your ID card when you enter and exit?"

"Haven't you heard that there has been a murderer recently? ”

"I heard that in the past few days, I started very black, and I also crippled a few. Haven't caught it yet?"

"No, I don't know what the police are eating. The security guard hurriedly completed the registration and returned the ID card to Shen Yi.

After whistling, Shen Yi hummed a little song and walked towards the depths of the community.

Coming to the gate of Villa 16, Shen Yi rang the doorbell. A voice came from inside the door: "Who?"

"I sent the courier. Is it Zhou Ze's family?"

There was a moment of silence behind the door.

The door opens.

Half of a middle-aged woman's face was revealed behind the big iron door, and she looked at Shen Yi with vigilant eyes: "Where did the courier come from?"

"Beijing's, to Mr. Zhou Ze. ”

The woman looked at the parcel in Shen Yi's hand, hesitated to open the big iron door, took the parcel, and muttered: "We don't have any relatives in Beijing, what did you send?"

"Notice of Death. Shen Yi said coldly.

The gun in her hand was pressed against the woman's head.

―――――――――――――――――――

Criminal Investigation Section, Public Security Bureau, Room W.

A special session is being held in the Grand Conference Hall.

Responsible for presiding over the meeting is Li Qiang, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, who is also a well-known expert in solving cases in the bureau. Today, however, his brow furrowed and he looked in a very bad mood. He squinted at the cigarette for a long time, then shoved the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, "Now the meeting begins." Vice Captain Wang, please give me a brief introduction to the case first. ”

Wang Hansheng, the deputy captain next to him, nodded, picked up the file and said: "Most of the comrades are already very clear about the 312 extraordinarily large series of murders, and a few comrades may not understand it when they are just transferred, so I will repeat it briefly." On March 12 this year, Yang Bingquan, a well-known psychiatrist in the city, was killed at home, shot in the head, and the murderer used a 54-type 7.62 mm pistol. The original owner of the pistol, Han Shi, is a police officer in our city, who was killed in last year's 816 attack on the police, and the case has not been solved so far. After seven months, the murderer finally made a move, and as soon as he did, he went on a killing spree. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hansheng took a sip of tea and turned to the next page to continue: "On March 12, Yang Bingquan died at home. On March 13, Mr. Liao Zhensheng, the former warden of the city, was killed. On March 14, Judge Zheng Min was shot dead. After examination, it was found that the three people were killed by the same gun, so it was basically determined that the same person committed it, so the above-mentioned cases were investigated together. ”

Li Qiang, the captain of the criminal investigation team, immediately said: "Let me add that all the deceased have shown signs of being tied up before they die, which means that the murderer had communicated with the killed person before killing." Judging from the layout of the scene, there were cigarette ashes left at the scene, but no cigarette butts were left, which shows that the murderer was very leisurely when he killed people, not nervous, and had excellent psychological quality. In addition, no extra fingerprints and footprints were found at the scene, leaving no valuable clues, indicating that the murderer was a very experienced veteran. In addition, all the victims had one thing in common, that is, they were all killed in their homes, and no one in the family died at the time of death. This shows that the murderer was prepared, and he came for a specific target. ”

"That's the problem. Deputy Captain Wang said: "We have investigated the information of these three people, and we have not found any intersections between the victims. ”

"In addition......" Li Qiang answered again: "In addition to the dead victims, there are ten other victims." But instead of dying, they were brutally tortured by the murderers, some of them crippled, some of them in a vegetative state. These people were attacked in almost exactly the same way as the deceased, when they were alone at home, the only difference was that the murderer did not kill them. None of the living victims saw the murderer's face, because the murderer was masked when he attacked them, and it was only known that he was a young man, about 1.75 meters tall, and from the way he spoke, he was highly educated. Of the more than 30 targeted suspects provided to us by all the victims, none of them met the characteristics of the target after investigation. ”

"All of these victims also have no contact with each other, some of them know each other, but they are also general friends, and they have no common enemies. "So finding a common connection between all the victims has now become our top priority," said Vice Captain Wang. ”

This is clearly a long-planned series of murders. All the victims turned out to be different people from various industries, from government officials to ordinary citizens. In addition, the murderer even left as many as ten living victims, but strangely enough, none of these living victims could provide useful clues.

This is a bit unbelievable.

More than 20 police officers buried their heads in the meeting one by one, and no one could think of what the reason was.

One policeman said to himself, "That doesn't make sense." The murderer was able to find more than ten targets in such a short period of time, and all of them were accurate, which means that he had prepared in advance. Since it was a deliberate killing, there must be a motive, so it is impossible for these more than ten people to have no contact with each other. ”

"Then why is it that there are so many living victims, and none of them can say anything about the connection with other victims?" said another police officer.

"Maybe there's a connection, but they don't know about it themselves?"

"How is that possible?"

"There's also the possibility that they know, but they don't want to say it. ”

"That's even more unlikely, it's all like this, don't you say?

"Maybe it's something that doesn't seem to be seen, maybe it's just more unfortunate to say it, because they're not sure about it, so they don't dare to say it?"

"Pure. This idea was ridiculed by many police officers.

On the contrary, Li Qiang was thoughtful.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the door of the conference room was suddenly slammed open.

"Found it!" With this excited shout, a young and pretty policewoman rushed in and almost crashed into Li Qiang.

Li Qiang slapped the table and stood up: "What are you doing? Reckless, what do you look like? Which department are you? Rushed in without saying hello, didn't you see that there was a meeting?"

The little policewoman stuck out her tongue and was too frightened to speak.

The deputy captain next to him, Lala Li Qiang's police uniform, whispered: "She is a newcomer, her name is Li Xiaoyue, and she is the niece of Deputy Director Zhao." ”

Li Qiang glared at the little policewoman fiercely, but his tone was a little tactful: "Pay attention next time, don't be so frizzy." Say, "What's the matter?"

The little policewoman snapped and saluted: "Report to the captain, I found an important clue to the 312 series of murders." I know that you are holding a meeting on this case, and I believe that my findings will lead to a major breakthrough in solving the case. ”

"Oh? Li Qiang was happy: "Just listen to everyone." ”

"Yes!" the little policewoman spread the file in her hand: "On March 12 this year, there was a major homicide case in our city......"

Li Qiang waved his hand: "Talk about the point, talk about the point, what did you find." ”

"Yes!" the little policewoman's face turned red: "I have found a connection between all the victims!"

"What did you say?" everyone hula and all stood up.

Li Qiang was also excited: "You found a common connection with all the victims?"

"Yes. The little policewoman spread the file on the case: "I found out that all the victims were related to a case from seven years ago. This is a case report from seven years ago. ”

Li Qiang picked up the file and flipped through it, and a photo of a girl on it made Li Qiang slightly stunned.

Quickly flipped through the file, Li Qiang's face became gloomy.

The information on it took him by surprise.

He looked at the little policewoman: "How did you find this clue? Why didn't I see this file before?"

The little policewoman replied loudly: "Report to the captain, three years ago there was a bizarre fire in the archives, and many files disappeared. This file was also not available at that time, but I suddenly found it in a corner this morning when I was cleaning the archives. ”

"This morning, I suddenly discovered that there was a fire three years ago?" Li Qiang listened to it. He pointed to the little policewoman: "Are you saying that the sudden fire three years ago didn't burn this file, but it suddenly appeared this morning, and then let you find out, and it happened to be related to the 312 series of murders?"

The little policewoman shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue: "Believe it or not, that's what it's like anyway." ”

Li Qiang glanced at the little policewoman coldly, and he turned to the last page of the file, where there were photos of three young men on it, which made him frown slightly.

Then he threw the file on the table: "Let's take a look, this is a rape and murder case that happened seven years ago. In the 312 series of murders, all the deceased were directly related to this case, including Han Shi, a police officer who died last August, and this case was handled by him. In addition, there are some victims who are not dead, and they are also directly or indirectly related to this case. The victim of this case is called Liu Qing, and you should immediately check the person who was close to this Liu Qing now. “

The little policewoman Li Xiaoyue shouted: "Report, I have checked, there is a person named Shen Yi, who is the neighbor of the deceased, and also a classmate, and the deceased once maintained a very good relationship, graduated from Peking University, and is currently working as a senior engineer in a German-funded lean company, mainly responsible for the design and manufacture of precision instruments, a month before the murder on March 12, he went to Germany. But the people in his company found out that he had only stayed in Germany for one day, then returned from Germany, and did not tell anyone in the company, and disappeared mysteriously. After the 312 mega murder case, someone saw Shen Yi appear near the deceased's home. ”

Li Qiang glanced at the little policewoman: "Sample, you can do it!"

The little policewoman smirked her neck.

Li Qiang immediately shouted: "Check this Shen Yi immediately." Also, there are three people directly responsible for this case seven years ago, and there is no information at present. They are called Sun Shuang, He Hao and Zhou Ze. Check out where they live now, and then send a police officer to guard the neighborhood. Shen Yi will definitely appear!"

At this moment, a policeman rushed in from outside, shouting: "Team Li, there are two more murders!"

"What?" Li Qiang turned around sharply and glared at him: "Who is it?"

The policeman replied loudly: "Report, there are two deceased, one is named Sun Shuang, and the other is called He Hao." There are also four other seriously injured parents. ”

"Damn!" Li Qiang slapped the table: "Find Zhou Ze's house immediately and inform the community where his family is located." Shen Yi's next target is there. Gotta hurry, that's his last goal!"

All the police officers were busy at the same time.

They quickly found out Zhou Ze's current address.

After sending a fax to the Tianduyuan community, a policeman shouted to Li Qiang: "Captain, the community security guard said that a person named Shen Yi entered the community just now and said that he was delivering a courier. A servant rushed out to report the crime, saying......"

"Everyone come with me!" Li Qiang shouted.

The gate of the police station opened, and the police car captains honked their police lights and whistled out.

The little policewoman Li Xiaoyue looked out the window a little distractedly, how much she wanted to be one of them, but this time she made such a big contribution, she should be able to consider not letting her do those boring logistics work in the future, right? Thinking of this, the little policewoman smiled proudly.

She took out her phone casually and sent a text message: "Hey, thank you for your help, I have made a great contribution this time." ”

The text message quickly replied: "You're welcome, so they already know who the killer is?"

"Of course, I've already gone to catch that guy. ”

"Thank you. ”

"It's time for me to thank you, by the way, you said that when the murderer is caught, you will tell me who you are. You can almost tell me now, right?"

"Of course, my name is Shen Yi. ”

With a click, Li Xiaoyue's mobile phone fell to the ground and shattered.
