The hallway of the apartment was empty, the girl typed in the code, and the door lock opened.

This is a small single apartment, more than 30 square meters, one bedroom and one bathroom.

Because there was no time to clean up, the room was messy, more than a dozen or twenty pairs of shoes were piled up at the door because they couldn't be put in, and the sofa in the living room was also full of clothes that had not yet had time to fold and store.

The girl kicked off her high heels, threw her bag casually, didn't even bother to take off her stockings, and snuggled up the TV series with a tablet as she nestled on the only remaining sofa.

"Huh? I bought honey-flavored potato chips, why are there only tomatoes left? ”

Rummaging through the snack bucket under the coffee table, the girl looked puzzled. This is not the first time, and the favorite flavors of snacks bought during this time are always missing.

Then the next day, in the trash, there will be empty bags.

"It's over, lose weight and lose hallucinations."

The girl hurriedly shared this incident on her mobile phone in the group, and sure enough, she attracted the ridicule of several girlfriends.

"Where are the side effects of diet pills, it must be that you sleepwalk when you are hungry at night, don't believe you install a camera at home to see." One of the girlfriends analyzed.

The girl thought about it for a while, but decided to buy a camera online and try it back. At this time, the company's Lian Lian happened to send a text message, to the effect that the supervisor thought her template was too earthy, and asked her to change the design template tomorrow.

"Alas, don't look at it, don't look at it, go to bed early."

The girl picked up a towel and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but found that the pajamas she had worn last night were missing. She was so tired that she didn't want to waste time looking for another nightdress, so she went straight to the closet and got a new nightdress.

"Hey, why is it so cold?"

When I turned on the faucet, I found that I forgot to turn on the hot water, so the girl had to wrap a towel in a towel, and ran to the kitchen to turn on the hot water and come back to continue washing.

Unexpectedly, the unfortunate thing is not over. There were only a few drops left in the bottle of shower gel, so the girl had to mix it with water, secretly thinking that she must remember to buy a new bottle for a while.

Lying on the bed after freshening up, the girl was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a soft sound from nowhere.

"Who?"

It's hard to describe the sound, like the snapping of joints that haven't been loosened for a long time, but it could also be water droplets in the bathroom.

There was silence in the dark bedroom, and the sound of cars speeding by could be heard outside the window from time to time.

The girl hesitated, thinking that maybe she was overthinking. She changed her position and closed her eyes again—

I'll have to stop the diet pills tomorrow.

Municipal Public Security Bureau, Special Investigation Group, mortuary.

"The deceased's face was bruised and swollen, there were large bleeding spots in the conjunctiva of the eye, and there was foamy fluid in the mouth and nose, which was consistent with signs of asphyxia."

"The groove marks are shallow, horizontally wrapping around the neck, without interruption or lifting. Judging from the light abrasions on the skin and the light brown leather-like appearance, the rope used by the murderer should be a very soft material. ”

"There were defensive wounds on his hands, and all ten fingernails were broken and broken, and the deceased had struggled before his death." Zhu Jiangjiang looked at it carefully and said one by one.

Yang Bolin nodded with satisfaction, lifted the handle of the knife and began to dissect.

This is the body of a young woman, because she has not been at work for several days, and today a colleague from the company called the police. When the police broke down the door, they found the woman tragically dead in her bed.

And this is the third burglary and homicide case that has occurred in Jinghai City this month, and it is also the first case that the special investigation team has taken over since its establishment.

"Was the cause of death also mechanical asphyxiation?" Shi Chong walked in at some point.

Yang Bolin nodded, and motioned to Zhu Jiangjiang to hand him the autopsy report, "The time of death is about two to three days, and the depth and direction of the rope are similar to those of the previous two deceased. ”

"We'll go to Jinghai City tonight, Zhu Jiangjiang, you follow." Shi Chong immediately made a decision.

Jinghai City is far away from Qinglong and is the most marginal city in the three southern provinces, but fortunately, the transportation is developed, and the special investigation team is equipped with a special small passenger plane, which can only take three hours from departure and arrival.

"The three deceased were all young women between the ages of 25 and 32 who lived alone and lived a very regular life. These girls are very defensive and can't put strangers into their homes for no reason. ”

"But there is no trace of violent entry at the three crime scenes, and the surveillance of the building on the day of the crime has not found anything, how did the murderer come and go freely?" The queen bee flipped through the information, puzzled.

It was impossible to climb in through the window, and the two victims had burglar-proof windows installed in their homes, and the only one who did not have them lived on the 33rd floor.

In this way, the crime scene is in fact a perfect secret room.

"Judging from the modus operandi, the murderer should be a strong man, about twenty-five to thirty-five years old, with a relatively cowardly personality, and should be an introvert in life who is not good at communicating with the opposite sex. He chose to wait for the deceased to fall asleep and then secretly attacked, which was a static strangulation in a disguised sense. ”

"Judging from the choice of the victim, the murderer should have spent a lot of time observing before committing the murder, which means that the murderer should have an unobtrusive and very relaxed career, and he can look for couriers and repairmen."

Speaking was Dr. Yip, a new member of the Special Investigations Unit and an expert majoring in psychology and philosophy.

"The first victim had made an appointment with a psychiatrist before the crime because of mental illness, but did not go in the end. Her friends said she was under too much pressure at work and was always suspicious. At the time of the incident, she had been on vacation at home for a week, and I thought I could talk to her friends again. Uncle Da said.

"The first case was two months ago, after a month and a half of silence, the murderer committed the second case, and ten days later he committed the third, and the frequency of this murderer's crimes is increasing, and the cooling-off period is getting shorter and shorter."

Shi Chong knocked on the file and pondered.

"After arriving for a while, they act in three groups. The Jinghai police have already deployed control in the city, hoping to see more people chasing and the murderer can be restrained. ”

It's impossible, Zhu Jiangjiang thought of the information he got in his dream last night - "Wenting Advertising Design Company." ”

Since the day before yesterday, Zhu Jiangjiang found that the life path tree on the software had grown taller again, and after growing taller this time, the leaves became round and thick.

As the leaves grew, the change in using the merit leaves again was very noticeable, and she could finally choose the images she wanted to keep in her dreams.

The third deceased had died two days earlier, and she could only see what was going to come, and it was clear that the fourth deceased was about to appear.

The next thing she has to do is how to connect the employees of "Wenting Advertising Company" with the victim before the fourth murder occurs.
