Chapter 6 6. Small beginnings
After all, people still need to rest. After tossing and tossing for so long, Lin Fan and the others are indeed tired.They lay on the couch in the police station, ready to rest for a few hours before starting a new day's work.
But this tired yet excited state made people uncomfortable. Lin Fan knew that even if he now knew what those numbers and patterns represented, even if he knew what the key implied, he still couldn't stop the murderer from committing another murder.
Lin Fan knew that the murderer must have planned the crime for a long time. In the three cases that occurred, the murderer was able to commit the crime with ease and had enough time to deal with the different victims, different locations, and different backgrounds. There is also enough time to set up the scene of the crime, what a terrible person, what a terrible plan...
Although there were still many questions that he hadn't figured out, he was so tired that Lin Fan fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he seemed to see those blood-red numbers and those strange patterns again...
When Lin Fan woke up, he saw the soft sunlight coming in from the window.Ren Fei and Chief Liu are gone, they should be out busy.He didn't know when there was an extra blanket on his body. Lin Fan looked at his watch, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Everyone in the police station is busy.Lin Fan looked at their busy appearance and felt that they were so cute. This was the first time he felt this way. He could feel an inexplicable warmth here.Just as he was thinking, a beautiful policewoman came across, her smile was like a flower blooming in the spring breeze.
Her name is Zhou Qing, and she is a policewoman here, and she has been working here for less than a year.Zhou Qing came over and said to Lin Fan with a smile: "How is it, my great detective, are you awake?"
Under the morning sun, Zhou Qing stood there gracefully, her eyes were so beautiful, so beautiful that Lin Fan felt that she shouldn't be a policeman.The scene in front of me is like a painting, so real and natural.Perhaps it was because of the inexplicable clarity in her eyes that made Lin Fan feel that today should have a good start.Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, where did Ren Fei go?"
Facing Lin Fan, Zhou Qing always had an indescribable feeling.Even Zhou Qing himself couldn't explain this feeling clearly.Although Lin Fan and Ren Fei were good friends and had helped Ren Fei a lot, Lin Fan didn't come to the police station much.There are some people in this world that you don't often see or miss, but when you meet them, you have an indescribable feeling.For Zhou Qing, Lin Fan was such a person.
The sunlight outside the window was shining on Lin Fan's face, his eyes were shining brightly in the sunlight, Zhou Qing couldn't help but flicker, Zhou Qing quickly adjusted his expression and said: "Ren Fei went to check the surveillance video His colleague is there. He said that when you wake up, he will go to the first two crime scenes with you. "
Lin Fan said, "Why, did you find anything new?"
Zhou Qing said: "I don't know, he didn't say, he just let me tell you this. You haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'll help you buy it."
Lin Fan said, "No need, I'm going to find Ren Fei now."
Zhou Qing was so anxious that his face turned red: "That can't be done. You are a guest. When Captain Ren left, he told me that he wanted me to take good care of you, a great detective."
To be honest, Lin Fan really has no appetite.But Zhou Qing had to buy him breakfast, but he couldn't help it.She insisted on dragging him along, saying that walking around could clear her mind.
Indeed, the air outside was much better than that inside the house. Coupled with the fact that there was some wind this morning, Lin Fan felt a lot more relaxed.Sunshine, breeze, what a beautiful day, although now the city has resumed the hustle and bustle of the day.
After going downstairs, Lin Fan was not in a hurry to have breakfast, he asked Zhou Qing to accompany him for a walk.In such fine weather, taking a walk with such a beautiful policewoman might really clear Lin Fan's mind.Zhou Qing chatted and laughed with Lin Fan along the way, but didn't say a word about the proposal.Lin Fan knew that this was Ren Fei's arrangement, and wanted him to have a short rest. He is a rough man with a delicate heart.
In this kind of weather, in this situation, I should have thought of some beautiful things in my heart, but even though Lin Fan was smiling, his heart was still in a mess.
The two of them walked to the door of a supermarket. Since it was still early and it was working time, the supermarket looked deserted.Zhou Qing suggested to go shopping inside and buy some food by the way.As soon as you enter the door, there is a row of lockers next to it.
Lin Fan was thinking about things while walking in with Zhou Qing, when suddenly there was a sound of closing the cabinet door behind him.Lin Fan woke up from his contemplation. He looked back, and it turned out that a mother was leading a four or five-year-old boy to store things in front of the locker.
The little boy grabbed his mother's hand: "Mom, I want it, give it to me, give it to me!"
But my mother didn't follow him, "No, you lost it when I gave it to you last time, and it made my mother have a hard time looking for it."
"I won't lose it this time, I promise!"
"Okay, let's pull the hook!" As the mother and child pulled the hook, they gave the child the key to the locker, and the child was very happy.
Standing there, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up... He turned around and walked quickly to the locker.The lockers are automatically accessed and can be used as long as you use a one-yuan coin.There are still keys inserted in the cabinets that have not been used, and each key has a tag, and the number on it corresponds to the number of the cabinet.
Zhou Qing was walking forward when he suddenly realized that Lin Fan beside him was gone.She looked back but saw Lin Fan standing in front of the locker in a daze, she hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Fan didn't answer Zhou Qing, he just stared blankly at these cabinets.After a long time, Lin Fan turned his head and said to Zhou Qing with a smile, "Today is really a beautiful day, isn't it?"
Zhou Qing was confused by this sentence, she looked at Lin Fan, wondering what kind of nerves he was having.
"You did a great job today, let's go, let's go back quickly." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Qing and ran outside, but Zhou Qing was still confused.
When they arrived at the police station, they met Chen Xiaodong head-on.He is Ren Fei's subordinate, and he has only been in the police force for two years.When Chen Xiaodong saw Lin Fan, he stopped him, "Brother Fan, do you know what I found?"
Lin Fan was usually quite optimistic about this young man, "What's wrong? Did you find a girl from some family?"
"No!" Chen Xiaodong glanced at Zhou Qing who was behind Lin Fan, "I found a clue to this case, and I told Director Liu just now, and he even praised me!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan became energetic, "Tell me quickly, what is the clue?"
Chen Xiaodong leaned close to Lin Fan's ear and said softly, "Do you still remember the four numbers '1112' left at the third crime scene?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"What do you think is the birthday of the third deceased?"
Lin Fan understood it as soon as he heard it!He really wanted to slap himself, why didn't he think of such a simple question!And it's not just that I didn't think of it, Chen Xiaodong was the only one who thought of it among so many people.Although nothing can be confirmed yet, once this statement is explained, it seems so obvious and so meaningless.
"Okay! You're amazing. I'm going to find Chief Liu now, and I'll talk to you later. If you find any clues, you must tell me." Lin Fan ran upstairs after speaking.
Chen Xiaodong looked at Zhou Qing proudly, as if saying, look!I'm the only one who found out!
Usually in the police station, Chen Xiaodong and Zhou Qing are enemies.Just like the relationship between Lin Fan, Ren Fei and Liu Bin.But what Zhou Qing didn't know was what was in Chen Xiaodong's eyes when he was arguing with her.Zhou Qing glanced at Chen Xiaodong, "What's the big deal, do you think it will be useful to the case?"
"Of course it's useful, most people can't find it!" Chen Xiaodong said.
"Come on, you, you only have this little ability. If you compare with our Ren team and Brother Fan, you should give up!"
"Am I worse than them? Why don't I know where I am?"
"You dare to say this in front of me. If you dare to say it in front of them, then I will really convince you!"
"You think I dare not?"
"You don't dare!"
