Day 5.

Midnight.

Xu House.

A light snow drifted outside the window, making the deep winter night a little brighter and no longer lonely.

At this moment, Xu Zhen was standing in front of a huge map, thinking seriously about something.

This map was specially drawn by asking his second cousin to ask his heart, combined with the existing map information of the Yamen, and his various needs of the case.

The map is naturally drawn in Yanping County, among which, many places have been marked by Xu Zhen and circled.

Different circles use different colors.

Among them, the most conspicuous red, a total of 12 circles, is the place where the victim of the ghost face killer case disappeared, and the last place where the body was dumped.

Yanping County is indeed not very large, these twelve red dots, covering almost the entire county area, seem to have no rules.

However, after Xu Zhen's repeated scrutiny, some problems were still found.

The straight-line distance between the kidnapping point and the dumping point where the murderer committed each crime does not seem to be long, generally not more than one mile, that is, 500 meters.

Xu Zhen suspected that the murderer probably did not use a means of transportation, and should have committed the crime on foot.

In this case, the murderer committed the crime in three important locations, one is the place of kidnapping, one is the place of murder, and the other is the place where the body is dumped.

Undoubtedly, the place of murder in the middle is the most important, and as long as the location of the murder is known, it is possible to obtain the identity of the murderer.

Combined with the map's calculations, Xu Zhen thought that this killing site would not be too far away, and it should be within the range of the 500-meter diameter circle.

However, when he drew all the areas, he found that the area was still too large to cover the entire county.

Oh......

Xu Zhen finally understood that the murderer should have more than one place of murder, he committed six murders and changed at least four places of killing!

You must know that the ghost-faced killer's methods of crime are extremely cruel, defiling the deceased, and disfiguring the appearance, there will inevitably be a lot of blood and traces at the murder scene.

If it was in a randomly selected public place, then when the catchers searched for it, they should have discovered it a long time ago.

Therefore, Xu Zhen suspects that the murderer's murder location may be his own private house.

Oh......

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he seemed to have found the key point of this case.

The real Ghost Face Killer is likely to be a rich man! He has a number of private residences in Yanping County, so he can choose the right place to kill every time without being known to outsiders.

Thus, after each crime, he has ample time to clean up the scene of the murder.

Young, martial, rich, housed, and extreme, may have been hurt by women......

Combining these conditions, it seems that ...... Who is the real Ghost Face Killer, and is about to be able to surface, right?

"Huh? What does that mean? How can there still be Ziyang Palace? ”

Who knows, just when Xu Zhen was very excited, a question next to his ear suddenly flashed his head, and he was so frightened that he almost took out a dagger.

turned his head to look, only to find that it was the tiger girl Shen Yu who entered the study at some point and stood behind him.

I......

Xu Zhen's head was suddenly covered with black lines.

For the first four days, he stayed in the yamen to deal with the case and never went home for the night.

The reason is because the little daughter-in-law has a dream of going to her cousin's house, if she goes home for the night, then Shen Yu, as a bodyguard, will inevitably be with her.

However, the little daughter-in-law is not there, and they have truly become lonely men and widows.

Shen Yu's age, his own age, is afraid that lonely men and widows will become dry firewood, so in order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Zhen has been staying in the yamen.

However, today is different, after the second cousin's map is drawn, Xu Zhen can't show it in front of people, and has to go home and study it on his own.

The things marked on this map not only include the facts of the case, but also many of Xu Zhen's own ideas, which must not be seen by outsiders.

"What do you mean by enclosing the Ziyang Palace?" Shen Yu was very curious, "Could it be that the Daoist of Ziyang Palace also has a problem?" ”

"...... you," Xu Zhenda frowned, "Xiaoyu, it's so late, you still haven't slept yet?" You come to me, aren't you ......?"

Xu Zhen means that the two of us are lonely men and widows, and it is not suitable for us to be in the same room in the middle of the night.

However, Shen Yu didn't care about it at all, and said naturally: "What else do you say, it's so late, you don't sleep, how can I sleep?" My dad has asked me to take care of you, I have to watch you! ”

Okay, Xu Zhen is talking in his heart, if you really want to look at me, just go to my bed and watch it!

"You ......" Shen Yu stared at the map with good eyes, very strange, "What are you drawing here?" How can there be a Wansheng gambling house? What do these little knives mean? ”

"No, it's not ......" Xu Zhen had no choice but to use his three-inch tongue to turn on the nonsense mode, "Can't you see it?" This map is a long time ago, and the Ziyang Palace circle is because Wei Yulang's wife went to the Ziyang Palace to offer incense before, and I have to ask the Taoist in the palace.

"Wansheng Gambling House was also circled because of several cases involved before...... As for those small knives, it's because they found the wrong one, and it doesn't count if they cross out. ”

"Oh......"

Shen Yu was really coaxed, and immediately believed it.

"Xiaoyu, I have to warn you," Xu Zhen hurriedly instructed, "This map is my unique skill, even Cheng Cheng doesn't know about it, don't tell it, this is a little secret between the two of us!" ”

"Hmm!" Shen Yu nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu, the little secret, a little secret that only the two of us know!" ”

After nodding, she still had no intention of leaving, as if she felt that the map was very fresh, and actually squatted in front of the map to look at it seriously.

"Xiaoyu!" Xu Zhen naturally didn't want her to know too much, so he quickly yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, I have to go to sleep, do you want to ......"

In the latter words, Xu Zhen almost said: "Do you want to be together?" ”

Fortunately, he was quick talked, so he temporarily changed it to: "Do you want to go back to your house and sleep?" ”

"I'm not sleepy, I'm in good spirits!" Who knows, Shen Yu's emotional intelligence is worried, and he immediately stared at the map and said, "You go to sleep first, senior brother, I'll watch it for a while!" This thing you drew is really interesting, I didn't even know that our Yanping County was like this......"

Xu Zhen covered his face, and after thinking hard, he had to pull the curtain, block the map, and said, "Xiaoyu, don't look at it, this map hasn't been drawn yet!" After the drawing is finished, I will give you a good introduction. ”

"This ......" Shen Yu pouted, as if he had noticed something, but seeing Xu Zhen's sleepy appearance, he still said with concern, "Okay, I haven't seen how you rest these days, then go to sleep, senior brother, with me guarding you, you can rest assured and boldly sleep......"

……

Late at night, lying in bed, Xu Zhen still felt a little awkward.

Because the room where Shen Yu slept was opposite him, there was only a living room in the middle.

I don't know, what is this tiger girl thinking in her heart?

Do you need to tell her a bedtime story yourself?

She said to guard herself, she won't guard and come in, right?

The angry little body, the handsome little face, the sexy little freckles......

Of course, cranky thoughts are cranky thoughts, Xu Zhen still realized more rationally that at the critical moment of the case, he couldn't let Shen Yu get too close to him.

Although the little girl is chivalrous and kind-hearted, she is too casual in doing things, and if she leaks her mouth on any occasion, I am afraid it will affect her plan to solve the case!

The truth of the case is about to be revealed, and there must be no mistakes in me......
