The next afternoon.

Joss's fiancée, Gaia, the twenty-second hour of her disappearance.

"We're in some trouble!"

Louise frowned and found Dean.

Dean was watching the movie that the old medical examiner had found.

Hearing this, he paused the video: "Why, among those logistics drivers, no one knows the person in the surveillance?" ”

It was basically determined that the person who took Ruosi's fiancée was the driver of the refrigerated truck who traveled to and from the airport logistics, so Louise took advantage of her position to go to the drivers for identification with the surveillance video.

Louise shook her head: "I'm sure someone recognized the man, but no one came forward. ”

"No one has stepped up?"

Dean was a little confused.

Under normal circumstances, civilians in most countries will cooperate with the police on the premise that their interests are not involved.

What's going on?

Suddenly, Dean remembered a piece of information he got from the female shopkeeper on the side of the road before: those airport logistics drivers, although they are not employees of a company, are basically the family members and friends of the gangsters behind those logistics companies.

This kind of group with the nature of the underworld is very taboo to leak secrets, and even more taboo to leak secrets to the police.

It's still possible privately.

But in front of a group of people...

Louise is the detective of Las Vegas, and she doesn't look young, so she shouldn't know this!

Dean guessed that there was something hidden in this.

So he spoke: "Is there some trouble with the identity of that person?" ”

Louise nodded:

"I considered that they would not be willing to help the police in front of other people, so I asked some of the more active drivers separately.

As a result, when they saw the people in the video, they all chose to keep their mouths shut and no longer cooperate with our work.

This situation generally only appears in the important people of the gang! ”

After listening to Louise's words, Dean thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be an important person, help me check it, the high-level family members of the gang behind the airport refrigeration logistics company." ”

"Do you suspect that the murderer is a family member of the top gang?"

Dean nodded: "It should be the kind of identity that is not taken seriously, but no one wants to take the initiative to provoke, male, age... It should be born in the fifties, between forty and fifty, obsessed with film and television, among the elders, maybe someone has been an actor, and has a deep influence on the murderer. ”

Louise nodded thoughtfully.

She was just about to do something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the movie video that Dean was playing, so she smiled and said, "Agent Dean, how is the movie?" ”

"The heroine feels good to me, it's the plot of the whole movie, and it discriminates against my IQ, especially the male protagonist's lines, which look very literary, but actually a scumbag, of course, modern women call that romantic..

However, it can be determined that those female victims, dressed before death, are indeed deliberately impersonating the heroine of the movie.

Maybe the days they went missing.

The murderer is forcing those girls to act out the plot of the movie, and when they get bored, they will change the heroine and start the next audition. ”

Dean replied casually.

Louise was stunned.

She seems to understand the reasoning logic of Dean's profile of the murderer.

"That's right!"

Dean added: "When we see the back of the murderer, he can also see our tentacles through our movements, so the time we really have left may not be the same as before!" ”

The previous five victims were all killed on the fourth day after their disappearance.

In between, there is a three-day safety period.

When the killer knew that the police were already going to arrest him.

To be on the safe side.

The other party may directly kill Gaia and destroy all evidence that can be used to prove himself.

Louise heard this and knew that Dean was telling the truth.

She left the office with a solemn face, ready to use some special means!

...

Inside a remote building.

Jos's missing fiancée, standing in front of a large mirror, admiring the long dress on her body, turned around, with the breeze rippling in the skirt, walked to a projector, looked towards the open space, and smiled: "How is it?" ”

Behind her, is a projector.

On the screen, an old movie is projected, with a mixture of light and shadow, and at the same time almost the same setting as the room, which makes people feel very immersed.

"It was perfect!"

A slightly old male voice came out of the speaker overhead: "This dress, worn on your body, is as perfect as those lines coming out of your mouth, you should be my heroine by nature!" ”

This is said with sincerity.

None of the five women brought over before had a temperament that matched this dress like Gaia, as if this girl was a young lady from a noble family, and had a graceful and elegant temperament that is difficult to see in modern women.

This is also the reason why he suddenly changed his target, risked being exposed, and took Gaia with him.

Now it seems that it is all worth it!

Gaia listened to the man's praise and pretended to be distressed: "But I still lack a pair of shoes, a pair of high heels that the hero put on for the heroine." ”

These words seem to make the hidden murderer a little embarrassed.

The room fell silent again.

Gaia clenched the porcelain piece hidden between her fingers, a little unwilling.

Although she didn't know about the serial dismemberment of female corpses on the highway where Las Vegas officials did their best to block the news, she also knew that the longer she was imprisoned, the worse her physical strength would become if she did not have enough food to replenish her, and the chances of being able to escape would become smaller and smaller.

So she wanted to trick the murderer in, take advantage of his unpreparedness, subdue and even kill the other party!

After adjusting her mentality, Gaia, who has received some special education from her family, performs much better than ordinary urban women.

I saw that there was no movement above my head.

Gaia lost his bearings a little, and said with a little urgency:

"You made me wear the same makeup as the heroine, memorize the same lines, and wear the same evening dress.

But they won't come out to see me!

There is no food, no water!

I don't even know where I am or what time it is, and I'm so alone!

This is the heroine you want? ”

Now Gaia, the effect of the drug on her body has disappeared, and most of her physical strength is still retained, which is the best chance to save herself!

Unfortunately, the murderer was cautious.

There was silence for a long time.

No matter how much Gaia tempted and stimulated, he stopped speaking.

Just when Gaia thought she was going to be finished this time.

Crunch~

The harsh grinding sound of old and dilapidated disrepair came from the heavy wooden door behind Gaia.

Gaia's body shuddered, and she pretended to be calm, and looked there.

I saw a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, but a handsome appearance, wearing a tuxedo, hanging a delicate hooked beard, surrounded by countless dark lights and shadows, standing tall outside the door, attracting all the eyes of Gaia.

The man looked at Gaia affectionately, the beautiful beard at the corner of his mouth jumped as his lips squirmed: "Hull..."

Hull, is the name of the heroine of the movie on the projector.

After Gaia was stunned for a moment, a restrained and elegant smile resurfaced on her face, stood on tiptoe, walked up to the man, stretched out her white palm, covered her mouth and said, "Laien, are you here to pick me up for the ball?" ”

The middle-aged man saw that Gaia was able to enter the play for the first time, and his heart trembled.

What a perfect heroine!

He subconsciously bent down, wanting to perform the kiss that he had practiced countless times.

The next moment.

Gaia, who was originally smiling, had a fierce look in her eyes, grabbed the ceramic shard with her other hand, raised it high, and slashed towards the side of the middle-aged man's throat!

That's where the carotid artery is located.

No matter how strong a man is, just get a cut there.

Then within a few tenths of a second, the blood rushing in the veins will shoot out like tap water from a faucet under the pressure of pressure, and at the same time drain all the strength of the man's body!

The man bent over and couldn't see Gaia's movements at all.

Perhaps at this moment, he was completely immersed in the world he had constructed, or perhaps he was paralyzed by the previous five successes, and was completely unaware of the danger.

】

Gaia felt the dullness and tingling sensation in his hand come to his mind.

The next moment.

A stream of warm liquid splashed on her delicate face.

Gaia froze in the ground as she pinched the ceramic piece that had scratched her finger due to the reaction force and froze in place, watching the man bent over, also dazedly holding the location of his broken neck artery, and kneeling on the ground.

"Mom~"

The man struggled, calling out to his mother, as if trying to exit the scenography-like room.

His cry woke Gaia.

Gaia looked at the man who was still struggling, and realized that the ceramic piece was not sharp enough, and it did not kill the man as expected.

But the cruel blow just now was already her strong desire to survive.

Gaia didn't care to mend the knife, and in a panic, she dropped the porcelain piece that had been pierced into her palm, stepped over the man's body, dragged her cumbersome evening dress, and ran towards the door that the man had opened.

Escape!

Be sure to get out!

Outside the room of the set, there is a long passageway.

At the end of the passage, there is a room that glows orange.

There must be a door to the exit!

With an adrenaline rush, Gaia dragged her long evening gown and rushed to that small room at an unprecedented speed...

The next moment.

The picture that came into view made Gaia, who had just hurt someone, open her mouth wide in fright, and let out a desperate roar, and the sound echoed for a long time in the narrow passage, like the last wail of a wild beast...

The end of the passage.

The figure that had fallen to the ground, holding his neck, stood up again...

It turns out.

It's really hard for a woman who hasn't killed anyone to use a piece of ceramic to kill an adult cleanly...

Gaia's next ending is probably not good.

...

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

At Louise's urging, seven or eight police cars, honking sirens, rushed towards the small town on the outskirts.

Dean sat in one of the police cars, carefully studying the map in his hand.

On his reminder.

Louise discovers that the former boss of the gang behind the airport refrigeration logistics company once had a movie star wife.

That wife, who was active in the fifties, at that time, was almost close to Marilyn Monroe's fame, and originally had the opportunity to stay famous in the history of American film and television.

But it's in the upswing of his career.

This female star was forced to retire because she was pregnant.

By the time she wanted to make a comeback, there was no place for her in the film and television industry.

This has also become the regret of the other party for a lifetime.

Worse still.

She was also abandoned by her husband, who liked the new and hated the old, and then disappeared from the world's sight.

The suspect they're looking for.

It is the female movie star and the black boss, the son who was born at the beginning.

This guy, when he was still young, was taken away by the movie star's mother and raised alone, and only reappeared in Las Vegas a few years ago, with a good skin, but he lived a very depressed life, and finally found a job as a frozen truck driver through the relationship left by his father before his death.

After looking up this information.

Louise immediately found the old gangster, coerced and lured, and asked for the other party's residential address.

It's a run-down town in Gada, a corner of Las Vegas.

A long time ago, because of the filming of movies, there was a period of glory, and there was a small film and television city built in the town.

However, as the main city of Las Vegas has shifted, desertification has become more severe.

It was desolate and lonely, and it became a place for some poor old people to retire.

...

Las Vegas is not big.

More than 40 minutes later, many police cars surrounded an old house.

Outside the house, there is still a refrigerated truck covered with sand and dust.

Louise was about to lead someone into the house to find someone.

Dean grabbed her and set his eyes on the humble film and television city farther away.

Louise hurriedly reminded: "Agent Dean, because the building is old and has not been maintained for a long time, it has been listed as a dangerous building, and people are not allowed to approach it at ordinary times, even if it is a homeless person, he will not risk being stoned to death and settle there." ”

"You go to the house to search, I'll go over there!"

After Dean finished speaking, he took out the gun from his arms and ran towards the small film and television city.

Over there, it says 'city'!

In fact, it is a number of buildings with different styles.

One of the most striking is a collapsed opera house.

Dark broken wood, overgrown environment.

As long as you are a sane person, you will not think that someone will be in it.

Dean had thought the same thing.

But a trace left on the ground caught his eye!

"It's!"

...

Dean crouched down and looked at the soil beneath his feet.

Las Vegas has a dry environment, and most of the area is dusty, where people can live, often green space, the soil is dry and sandy, and it is difficult to retain moisture on the surface.

But the soil under your feet is different.

It seems to have been processed with cement or something.

Dean pulled it twice with his hand, and sure enough, underneath the shallow soil bag was a cement pothole about two fingers wide, and in the ravine there was a hidden power line leading to the collapsed opera house in front of it.

Follow the wires.

Dean made his way through the weeds and trees, and finally found a dark passage under a large plank!

"Hopefully, it's still too late!"

Dean shook his head and jumped off.

Ruosi, this guy is not in a good state now.
