Although the police have not yet compared Wang Ruxue's DNA with the deceased in this case, my gut tells me that Wang Ruxue is no longer alive.

After a brief conversation with Wang Ruxue's best friend and roommate, Li Meng suddenly asked, has Wang Ruxue ever bought wooden handicrafts? Because the murderer in this case is a craftsman who makes wooden handicrafts.

Xiaomei nodded without hesitation, and replied with a smile: "She has bought a lot of game peripherals, and because we have a good relationship, she will show me every time she buys something." What impressed me more was a wood carving, probably the size of a thermos cup, it was said to be handmade, she liked it very much, it was a character in a game, but I didn't like it. ”

"Why don't you like that?" Li Meng was a little puzzled.

Xiaomei pursed her lips and said quietly: "Because it looks so scary, the image of that wood carving is a game character holding a knife, and the corpse of a monster is stepping on his feet, and the red dye draws every wound and every blood mark very realistically, the character image is lifelike, and the expression is particularly hideous." I was very curious at the time how such a thing could be sold on the Internet, and wouldn't such bloody violence be banned? ”

"Do you know on which shopping platform this wood carving was bought? How long have you been buying? Li Meng then asked.

Xiaomei thought for a while and replied, "It's been more than half a year since I bought it, and we were still juniors at that time." She said she bought it from a player she knew in the game, who was a wood carver. I also deliberately reminded her to be careful of meeting scammers in the game, but she said that they had known each other for a long time and knew each other very well, so they would not be scammers. ”

Hearing this, I already have the answer in my heart, because what happened to Wang Ruxue basically coincides with the development of this case.

I immediately sent a message to Jiang Tingbai, who was investigating the situation with Wang Ruxue's counselor.

I asked him to take Wang Ruxue's identity information and go to the school's express park to investigate the express delivery situation, and maybe he would find out the delivery address of the express. If nothing else, the shipping address must be Beihuai Town.

However, judging from the school's express traffic, there will be thousands of express delivery operations every day, and the purchase record is half a year ago, so it is difficult to check, so you can only try your luck.

Subsequently, we briefly checked the personal belongings of Wang Ruxue's bedroom, and there was nothing special. Since Wang Ruxue has been playing games with her laptop, we decided to take the notebook she left in the dormitory back to the Public Security Bureau for investigation, maybe through her game account, we can find some clues.

Since this wood carving was purchased through a player in the game, there must be a contact record, and this player is likely to be the murderer.

Wang Ruxue's home is in Lanjing City, and after saying goodbye to Xiaomei, we followed the local police and came to Wang Ruxue's home.

The door was opened by a woman who looked at us with a very haggard look and red eyes: "Who are you?" ”

"Hello, we are from the Public Security Bureau, let's find out about Wang Ruxue's situation." I said with a smile as I showed her my police ID.

"It's a comrade policeman, please come in." Her voice was a little hoarse, and after beckoning us to the door, she turned around and shouted into the house: "Dad, the police are here to investigate!" ”

After entering the door, I habitually looked inside the house, it was a standard three-bedroom apartment, the decoration and furniture were relatively ordinary, nothing special. At first glance, this is a very ordinary family.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the back room, he was not tall, his face was full of sadness, and when he saw us, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from my Xiaoxue?!" ”

"There is no news yet, we are here to ask the two of you about Wang Ruxue's situation." My answer is very official, because it is not 100% certain that Wang Ruxue is the victim of this case.

The two are Wang Ruxue's parents, and they came to the Lanjing City Public Security Bureau at noon yesterday to report the case, and the two always thought that Wang Ruxue lived in the dormitory. As soon as the two inquired, they found out that Wang Ruxue had been missing for several days, but they didn't know exactly when she disappeared.

"Has Wang Ruxue behaved abnormally lately?" I asked them.

"Xiaoxue hasn't been home recently, saying that the school is busy with her graduation thesis. Anyway, the school and home are in the same city, and she can go home at any time, so we don't care anymore, so in order not to disturb her writing her graduation thesis, we haven't talked to her on the phone for nearly a week. It wasn't until a few days ago that we couldn't get in touch on the phone, so we contacted her classmates, and the result was ...... "The two of them looked very sad, and their red eyes didn't know how many times they had cried, and they must be very self-blaming now."

"Don't worry, the police have opened a case for investigation, and now there is surveillance everywhere, and if she goes out, she can also find out through her ID card, and I need to get your blood taken later." I said lightly.

"Okay, okay, we trust the police!"

The Lanjing City criminal police who accompanied us walked in front of Wang Ruxue's father, took out a blood collection needle, lightly touched Wang Ruxue's father's finger, squeezed out two drops of blood, and smeared it on the blood collection card and sealed it.

After a brief investigation of the situation, I asked them, "Can we go to Wang Ruxue's bedroom and have a look?" ”

After getting the consent of Wang Ruxue's parents, we got up and went to Wang Ruxue's bedroom.

Wang Ruxue's bedroom is not big, it is very tidy, and there are a lot of game posters on the wall, which is completely an image of an Internet addicted girl.

There are only a few simple books on the desk, and more are all kinds of figures. We don't know the characters of the figures, so they should all be characters in the game. In the innermost part of the desk, in the corner against the wall, there is a wooden figure.

This figure is extremely exquisitely made, it is obviously a pure handmade product, the raw material is a piece of wood that has been treated with antiseptic treatment, and after the image is carved with a carving knife, it is then hand-colored with watercolor dye, and you can see the obvious watercolor trend and pen marks.

As Xiaomei said, this figure is extremely realistic, it looks very violent and bloody, and if it is in a regular online trading platform, it is estimated that it will not pass the review.

Figures like this can only be purchased through private communication, or "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep" on an online platform.

Li Meng took a few photos of this figure from different angles, and when he went back, he could use this wooden figure as a direction of investigation.

At this moment, I can't help but wonder what kind of author could have conceived such a dark, bloody and violent style.

The author's heart must be just as dark, just as bloody and violent.

So far, there are all indications that this wooden figure comes from the murderer of the Beihuai Town murder case, and Wang Ruxue is the deceased in this case......
