Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Help

The next day, Juanzi's body was found floating on the Xima River.After the body was salvaged, it was temporarily placed on a plastic sheet.The crowd of onlookers surrounded the scene tightly, looking curiously at it, like a tortoise that only sees food.Lin Xiangming rushed over with friends from the task force, and managed to squeeze in.On Juanzi's lower abdomen, the incisions looked like grinning mouths. The blood stains were much shallower due to soaking in the river all night, but because the internal organs were cut out of the body, there was still a shocking cruel atmosphere.There was some calm in her expression, as if death was a kind of relief, but there was a pain and sadness between her brows that even a night of river water could not dilute.Seeing Juanzi's body, Guo Xiaofen turned her head aside.Lin Xiangming, Liu Simiao and Ma Xiaozhong were all in a daze for a while.Hu Yanyun came up at last, and after only one glance, he slowly slumped down beside Juanzi. "Report, we found a handkerchief in the deceased's hand. She held it tightly, and we took a lot of effort to take it out." A criminal policeman who arrived at the scene first reported to Lin Xiangming, "There is a faint name on it. , it seems to be something... Huyanyun." Everyone was surprised.Lin Xiangming bent down and softly asked Hu Yanyun who was sitting on the ground: "Did you give that handkerchief to Juanzi?" Hu Yanyun didn't speak, his expression was as numb as a dead tree. "Team Lin, there are not many people with the surname Huyan in this city. We can use the bureau's database to search for the specific identity of this suspect..." Before the criminal policeman finished speaking, Lin Xiangming straightened up abruptly and said angrily. Said: "No need!" Everyone was taken aback, Xiangming's elegance was well-known in the Municipal Bureau, and now he suddenly became angry, obviously because of the incident involving Huyan.Liu Simiao was very calm: "Xiangming, I'll go to the place where Juanzi lives first. The most important thing now is to find the first scene of the crime." "What's the use of finding the scene? Even a fool knows it's Xu Cheng You bastard, let someone do it!" Ma said with a gritted teeth in a smile.Liu Simiao still left alone.

Lin Xiangming saw several criminal policemen coming with body bags, and slowly squatted down, putting his arms around Hu Yanyun's shoulders: "Huyan... people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad, let's find a way to find evidence, It's more important to arrest the murderer." Hu Yanyun still didn't move, his thick lips were opened sluggishly.Xiang Ming let out a long sigh, stood up, and walked out of the crowd with Guo Xiaofen and Ma Xiaozhong, within three steps, a wail stunned the three of them.It was Huyanyun! He suddenly raised his head to the sky, and burst into tears, crying like a wounded wolf under the moonlight, tears flowing down his thin cheeks like a flood.While weeping, he stroked Juanzi's hand, inch by inch, as if a father was caressing a child who had died young.His body trembled uncontrollably until he was almost convulsed.Guo Xiaofen shuddered as she listened, she had never seen a man cry so unabashedly, this crying was too crazy, too desperate, more like a kind of suicide, a kind of heart-piercing self-made out of inextricable pain Cracking the lungs—unending death! Guo Xiaofen stepped forward to hug Hu Yanyun, and couldn't help but shed tears. She clearly felt his body was stiff and cold, shaking slightly all the time.In the end, Huyanyun's tears were all dried up, and a hoarse whimper sounded from his throat, more like the panting of a dying person.The crowd of onlookers let out a chuckle. "I'm laughing at you!" Ma's eyes widened in a smile, and he cursed! The crowd shrank their heads like turtles hit by hail, and they didn't dare to make a sound anymore. "You... are here to persuade him!" Guo Xiaofen choked up and said to Lin Xiangming who was standing next to him, "I can't let him cry like this anymore." Lifted, helped him up, and almost dragged him into the car.Guo Xiaofen and Ma Xiaozhong also waited to get in the car, but Xiangming stopped them: "You two go back in another car, I want to have a good talk with Hu Yan..." The car drove west.In the car, both of them were silent.Lin Xiangming, who was driving, looked ahead.Hu Yanyun's red and swollen eyes stared blankly out of the car window: the farther west he went, the fewer people were there, and the continuous skyscrapers in the east of the city were replaced by red bricks and green tiles under the shade of trees.Looking north along the street, eyes are full of greenery.Hu Yanyun suddenly tapped the car window several times with the tip of his index finger, and Lin Xiangming stopped the car suddenly.

The two got out of the car, and there was a hill in front of them, which was covered with lush pines and cypresses, and also covered with green grass, which was a bit mottled green.Looking up, there is a blue-gray antique building that looks like a temple lying on the top of the mountain.Xiang Ming couldn't figure out what this was for a moment, and asked, "Where is this?" "Mingshan Columbarium." Hu Yanyun replied in a low voice.Why is he here?Xiang Ming was taken aback.But seeing Hu Yanyun's expression, he knew it was useless to ask, so he simply followed him up the stairs without saying a word.Perhaps because the green pines and cypresses on the left and right are too dignified, Xiangming's heart sinks a little more with each step.When we reached the top of the mountain, the columbarium was right in front of us. The building bathed in sunlight looked very serene, not as gloomy and terrifying as imagined.But Xiang Tea's eyes still avoided it.Hu Yanyun looked directly at the columbarium, and after a long time, he murmured: "There are more and more dead people." "What did you say?" Xiang Ming didn't hear clearly.Hu Yanyun said: "As soon as you graduated from university, you went abroad to study. After you came back, we didn't have much time to see each other. I never told you that many of our high school classmates died..." Suddenly, there was a burst of wind on the flat ground. The strong wind pulled a cloud above the head, covering the sun, and everything in front of him suddenly became extremely dark as if it had been smeared with lead dust.Lin Xiangming couldn't help shivering: "You...are you kidding?" Hu Yanyun shook his head: "It's not just my high school classmates, my classmates from elementary school, junior high school, and university. In the past few years, there have been frequent reports of deaths." He pointed his hand at the columbarium: "Many of them rest here." "How did they... die?" Lin Xiangming's professional instinct made him blurt out: "Could it be that they were all murdered?" Hu Yanyun said: "Some of them went bankrupt and committed suicide after being deceived by their relatives in business; some jumped off the building after being excluded because of their integrity while working in an agency; some took sleeping pills because of too much work pressure; Some of them, in reality, bumped into walls and drowned themselves in the lake-it is probably not wrong to say that they were murdered..." After a pause, Hu Yanyun continued: "Most of them contacted me before they died. Every time, I feel that I can save them, because I am a reasoner. So I tell them who the murderer is, how I plan to kill their lives, and remind them to be careful. I never say I missed it. But I still can’t save them, I can't save anyone—not even one person! I can't save them, just like I can't save Juanzi..."

Having said this, Hu Yanyun's eyes became moist again.Xiang Tea didn't want him to be immersed in painful memories, so she dragged him around to the west wall of the columbarium. The two friends leaned against the gable wall and looked down. Climbing and stretching, they spread out into a patch of uneven and dense green. When a gust of wind blows by, the air is suddenly filled with a bitter aroma. "When I went abroad, it was not for escape..." Xiang Ming said, "That night, we went to the 'Wright Town' together to investigate the scene where Chen Dan was imprisoned, and I suddenly thought of 'Winsrock', 'Wins Locke' is a series of novels in the series of midnight ringers, located in a long-abandoned and forgotten town outside of Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. Before going abroad, I had a strong feeling: Me and you, and others don't want to Those who live have been exiled by the times, and they are exiled to a place like 'Winsrock'. In the novel, 'Winsrock' buries the mystery of human immortality, and we also think that we hide such a mystery, Being able to save others and save the world is actually some self-illusion, and the result can only be wasted and forgotten..." "Self-illusion?" In an instant, Hu Yanyun's eyes burst into flames, "So... what about them? !" "Who?" Lin Xiangming asked in surprise. "They—the people who were murdered!" Hu Yanyun said angrily, "Countless people have said that I have a mental illness over the years, and that the deaths I have seen are nothing but hallucinations, but I know that I am not mentally ill, even if I drink Even when I was drunk, I was more sober than most people! I know clearly: the death of the people sleeping in this columbarium at this moment is not an illusion! Absolutely not! There is nothing more honest than death in this world! And the murderer But they are at large, running rampant, planning even more horrific next murders—even massacres!" "But, you admit it yourself, you can't save anyone!" Xiangming said, "Even if I am a policeman, Aren't you helpless in the face of this series of murders that are happening right now?" Hu Yanyun's expression became depressed: "You are right, I can't save any of them, I can only save them during the holidays, even their families I forgot the time, came here alone, looked at them, talked to them..." Xiangming looked at Huyanyun's eyes full of despair, and said sadly: "Huyan, after I returned to China, I always wanted to have a good chat with you. I very much understand and sympathize with the deception and hurt you have encountered. Like you, I also have emotional cleanliness. In the dark, there is only such a ray of bright moonlight left, and I am trampled... But I don't want you to sink like this, Become a monster full of hatred for the world, thinking about taking revenge on those who hurt you all day long, using other people's blood to heal your own wounds, and finally you will find that it is destined to be a backlash against yourself, pouring your heart, blood, The flesh is torn and crushed inch by inch, it is too painful, too painful! Be open-minded, my friend... After all, there are still more people who survive than die."

"Some people die as if they were alive, while others live as if they were dead..." Hu Yanyun said slowly, "Physical death and spiritual death are both out of the body, there is no essential difference... No matter what, I can't save Anyone, since everyone would rather muddle along, be willing to be killed and slaughtered, and not care about the truth and the truth, then, with my reasoning, I will be forever abandoned and forgotten in that place called 'Winsrock'... "Mumbling, he moved heavy steps, staggered all the way, and went down the mountain.Lin Xiangming looked at his back, and looked back at the columbarium, feeling desolate in his heart.Xiang Ming returned to the police station, Guo Xiaofen and Ma Xiaozhong had already returned, and Liu Simiao, who had been investigating around Juanzi's residence, also came back and reported to him: "We have confirmed that the first scene of Juanzi's murder was located in her residence. We found her handbag near the entrance of the alley. There were wallets and bank cards in it, as well as several letters from her sister. Under the streetlight not far from where she was killed, we found A lipstick-shaped small multi-functional tear gas stun device, which was confirmed by the ladies who lived with Juanzi to be Juanzi's. Almost all the young ladies had one of this small multi-functional tear gas stun device for self-defense. That is to say, Juanzi was not without vigilance before she was killed, but the murderer attacked too suddenly..." "The young lady almost has one..." Guo Xiaofen lowered her head and repeated Liu Simiao's words .Liu Simiao glanced at her, and then said: "One of the more fortunate things is that the ladies who live in the alley usually spit water at the door when they brush their teeth and rinse their mouths, so a small mud pond gradually formed near the entrance of the alley. , the murderer once stepped into it, so he left a clear footprint on the scene. I carefully compared it with the footprints extracted from the scene of the Fanny dismemberment case on the north bank of the Tonghui River. The length, width and height of the shoe prints are consistent. The most important thing is that the stride characteristics and gait characteristics are completely consistent! This shows that Fanny and Juanzi were killed by the same person!" "Suspect No. 1." Lin Xiangming said. "Yes." Liu Simiao said, "I still think it's Jia Kui, he is probably also a butcher Xu Cheng raised!" "Fuck Jia Kui!" Ma laughed and couldn't help cursing, " I will peel his skin sooner or later!" Guo Xiaofen shook her head lightly.She was about to speak when the phone rang, and Xiang Ming picked it up. It was Zhou Jinchen, secretary to the chief, who called: "Captain Lin, the chief wants you to come here."

Entering Director Xu's office, Secretary Gao walked out arrogantly, met Xiang Ming face to face, and went out with a sneer.Xiang Ming saw Xu Ruilong's expression was ugly, so she asked: "Director, what happened?" Xu Ruilong looked at him: "Yesterday, you led people to search Xu Cheng's home, and asked Liu Simiao to give the Paradise Nightclub to him. Copied?" Xiang Ming told the whole story in detail. "For such a big event, why didn't you say hello to me beforehand?" Xu Ruilong said angrily, "What kind of status is Xu Cheng? Paradise Nightclub is a place for the rich and powerful to entertain. These two super hornet's nests are your little ones." Did the police officer stab it casually?!" "It was completely my fault that I acted without consulting the superiors." Xiang Ming puffed her chest out, "Please punish the director!" In an instant, Xu Ruilong understood that the reason why Xiang Ming He didn't report to him before the action, just in case something went wrong, so that he wouldn't be involved.Xu Ruilong touched him and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Lin...the order was issued from above to revoke your position as the leader of the special case team and send another comrade to take over. You sort out the relevant information and prepare to hand over the work." Lin Xiangming opened his eyes Eyes rounded: "Why?!" "This is an order." Xu Ruilong said. "Director, it's not that I'm greedy for the position of the head of the task force. Now it's only one step away from the detection of the case. Temporary replacement of a lot of work is likely to have to start all over again. This is equivalent to giving the criminal a sufficient breathing time. He will If you continue to kill people, and even become more mature and cunning in the process of committing crimes, it will become more and more difficult for us to catch him!" Lin Xiangming said excitedly, "Director, give me another three days ! As long as three days, I will be able to arrest the criminal!" Xu Ruilong shook his head helplessly. "Can you do it in two days?" Xiang Ming's tone was almost pleading, "Two days!" Xu Ruilong sighed: "I can't do it in one day, tomorrow morning, someone sent from above will take over your position...Xiang Ming, I'm sorry." The director's speech like this was obviously due to the great pressure from above, and he couldn't bear it no matter what.So Xiangming stood at attention and saluted, and left the director's office.Back at the office of the Behavioral Science Group, just as Lin Xiangming finished conveying Director Xu's instructions, Ma laughed and shouted: "Isn't this fucking breaking things down!"

Guo Xiaofen also said angrily: "I'll immediately write a manuscript about your dismissal and publish it in the newspaper. Let's see if those people can bear it!" With the news of dismissal, it's time to kill people even more brazenly!" Guo Xiaofen bit her lip, hesitating to speak.For a whole afternoon, Lin Xiangming has been silently sorting out the materials of the case and preparing to hand them over to the successor tomorrow.His eyebrows were always tangled into a "Chuan" character, and there was no sign of loosening for a moment.Liu Simiao knew that he was extremely worried and angry, but it was hard to persuade him to say anything.Sometimes he would suddenly stop what he was doing and look out of the window at the fading street scene.After going on and on like this, it was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the files, photos, autopsy reports, video materials, etc. were all sorted out, and my stomach was grumbling.So Xiangming brought her friends to the KFC opposite the city bureau, paid for dinner, and chatted a few things that had nothing to do with work.Ma laughed stupidly and made a joke-"This is not our break-up meal", after which everyone fell silent in unison.Before I knew it, it was half past nine, and everyone left KFC.Looking at the street that is grilled by the scorching sun like a pan in the daytime, under the illumination of the street lamps at this moment, there is still a grayish-yellow mist rising, Xiang Tea suddenly felt a sense of dissipating boredom.He said to his friends: "This is the end of the matter, everyone should go back to their respective posts. Xiao Guo, after you report back to the agency, please say sorry to Mr. Li on my behalf. I promised him an exclusive report, and I am afraid it will not be fulfilled." Guo Xiaofen has not yet Before he had time to speak, Ma Xiaozhong stomped his feet angrily: "That's fine, let's break up, I'll catch that damned Jia Kui myself!" Miao sighed. "Yes, today is July 9th. The college entrance examination is over, and many high school graduates will relax..." Lin Xiangming said worriedly, "The last crime committed by suspect No. 2 was on the night of July 6th. He will come out in two or three days to kill people, maybe he is hiding in a dark corner at this moment, looking for new prey." Guo Xiaofen looked at Lin Xiangming in surprise, and suddenly smiled. "What's wrong?" Lin Xiangming felt that she was smiling very strangely. "The college entrance examination ended on June 9th. I was wondering why you said it was a full month late." Guo Xiaofen smiled, "It was only later that I remembered: we all took the college entrance examination before 2003. At that time The time for the college entrance examination is still July, August, and September in July. Since 2003, in order to avoid the scorching heat, the Ministry of Education has changed the time for the college entrance examination to July, August, and September in June..."

Guo Xiaofen's words stopped abruptly.According to her later recollection, she saw Lin Xiangming's expression at that time - "like being struck by lightning"! Xiangming stood there blankly, motionless, as if she had turned into a stone statue in an instant.Guo Xiaofen was a little scared: "You... are you okay?" Suddenly, Xiang Ming rushed towards the city bureau like a runaway horse, and everyone followed him for no reason.But Xiang Tea ran too fast, leaving everyone far behind.When everyone came to the door of the office of the Behavioral Science Group out of breath, they found him sitting on the floor, and the case materials that had been compiled all afternoon were scattered all over the floor by him. .He was flipping through the transcripts of the interrogation of the first discoverer, witnesses, and suspected suspects at the crime scene. "Not this one!" He slammed a record on the ground angrily. "Xiangming, what are you looking for?" Si Miao stepped forward and asked.Xiang Tea acted as if he hadn’t heard it, and didn’t lift his head. He rummaged through the materials on the floor like scrubbing mahjong tiles. Finally, he picked up a book, opened it, and read it for a long, long time, with a focused expression like panning for gold.Time passed minute by minute.The room was very quiet.About three minutes later, Xiangming raised her head.With piercing eyes, he stood up from the ground, opened the drawer, took out a pistol and stuck it in his waist, and walked out the door, suddenly remembered something, and ordered: "Si Miao, call Director Du right away. , let him and Section Chief Lin meet me near the Chinese University." "You...what are you going to do?" Liu Simiao asked in confusion. "Catch the murderer!" Xiang Tea said clearly and decisively.The wind is flying fast.It only took half an hour for Lin Xiangming's "cruiser" to arrive at the gate of a community near Huawen University.After getting out of the car, I contacted Du Jianping and Lin Fengchong on the phone, and they quickly came to meet up, but some monks who were two feet long were confused.Without saying a word, Xiang Ming led everyone up to the third floor of a slab building, knocking on the door of a family.The door opened.A face with too much makeup and powder was exposed, which looked like a face mask.It's Bai Tianyu. "You...what are you going to do?" Bai Baiyu said in a panic.Xiang Tea waved her hand, and the police quickly rushed into the house, except for a woman in her early forties with a swollen face, there was no one else.

Xiang Tea asked Bai Baiyu sharply: "Why are you here? Isn't this your cousin's house? Where has he gone?!" Yes, when my cousin went out, he didn’t say where he was going.” “Why are you looking for my son?” The woman in her early forties said viciously, “Is that wimp doing something nasty outside again?” Xiang Ming gave her a cold look, and asked Liu Simiao to take a few policemen to search the room carefully, and arranged guards in the corridor, and then boarded the "cruiser" with the rest of the people.Du Jianping couldn't help asking: "Xiangming, what's going on?" He looked mentally disturbed, and he couldn't help shouting, "What's going on?!" Lin Xiangming realized that he had lost his composure, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Chief Lin, do you still remember what the suspect No. 2 did?" Is it the first case? In the Ruins Park of the Old Capital, the victim is called Liushan." Lin Fengchong nodded. "I checked the file, and it was you who made the transcript of the on-site interrogation, and I also listened to the recording at the same time, in which you asked Bai Baiyu what he was doing at the Ancient Capital Ruins Park so late, do you remember his answer? " Lin Fengchong thought for a long time, and said a little embarrassedly: "My memory is not very good." Lin Xiangming said: "Tianyu's answer is: 'My cousin is a senior high school student, and I bought him an English book for the college entrance examination. I made an appointment to give it to him here tonight.’ And he does have a book for the English college entrance examination in his hand, right?” Lin Fengchong said: “That’s right, he said that his cousin was in a hurry and didn’t come over , I called to verify that the water pipe in his cousin’s house suddenly burst and he asked workers to rush to repair it, so he couldn’t make it through.” “This is a lie!” Lin Xiangming said, “The workers were temporarily hired by his cousin to do it Proved!" "How do you know?" Lin Fengchong asked. "The answer is in your on-site interview transcript!" Lin Xiangming said.Lin Fengchong thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head: "I didn't find anything wrong?" Lin Xiangming stopped the car on the side of the road, and said slowly: "Bai Tianyu's cousin is a senior high school student, and the murder happened in June. On the 21st, it has been 12 days since the end of the college entrance examination, why did Bai Baiyu buy him an English book for the college entrance examination?!"

The people in the car were stunned! "Maybe... maybe he didn't pass the exam, and he is going to repeat the exam and take the exam next year." Lin Fengchong said. "This is unlikely." Lin Xiangming said, "The college entrance examination is a heavy pressure. Once the pressure disappears, due to the psychological rebound effect, everyone will have a long period of relaxation, which is manifested as staying away from the source of stress. Will take the initiative to approach it." Guo Xiaofen said: "Then, his cousin graduated from high school and is about to go to high school, and Yukou mistakenly said that he was a high school student during the day?" "On June 21, all high school students in the city The final exam has not even started yet. Imagine if you are a sophomore in high school, before the end of the final exam, relatives and friends may introduce you in front of outsiders as "you are about to go to high school", but they will say in a positive tone that you are a high school student '?" Xiangming said. "But...but Bai Tianyu is indeed holding an English college entrance examination book, and that book is quite new." Lin Fengchong frowned. "Bai Tianyu is a third-year student and doesn't need this book for the college entrance examination; his cousin's college entrance examination has ended and he doesn't need this book. But Bai Tianyu has one in his hand at night—this book is Whose?" Lin Xiangming asked and answered, "Of course it belonged to the murdered high school sophomore Liu Shan—only she needed this book, bought a preview, and prepared for the college entrance examination next year. I deduce that the murderer killed After Liushan, he took this book away, just like cutting off his breasts, because he wanted to keep it as a souvenir of a crime. When he met Bai Tianyu on the road, he felt that the book was useless, so he gave it to him. But Bai Baiyu felt baffled , did not throw away the book." Guo Xiaofen nodded: "But why do you think the murderer is Bai Baiyu's cousin, not himself." "It's very simple, because Bai Baiyu was among the onlookers at the scene." "Many After the murder, the murderer will return to the scene and mix with the crowd of onlookers." Guo Xiaofen said.Lin Xiangming said: "The cause of Liu Shan's death was excessive bleeding from the aorta celiac, and there were fighting wounds on the corpse. Under such circumstances, the murderer must have been very embarrassed after committing the crime. There was blood on his clothes, and there was even blood on his body when Liu Shan resisted." The scars left behind, how dare he return to the scene? And the most important point, Si Miao told me that at that time, Tian Yu's face was covered with a thick layer of rouge. If he was the murderer, such fierce fighting, sex Behavior, he must have sweated profusely, how could the rouge on his face not 'fading'?"

Ma smiled: "After he killed someone, he found a place to touch up his makeup." "Impossible, makeup needs mirrors and lighting." Lin Xiangming said, "There are no mirrors near the Ancient Capital Ruins Park, and apart from the crowds The small square where we gather, and other places are so dark that you can’t even stretch your fingers.” Ma laughed, but he still insisted: “It’s not impossible, he can find a place deep in the dense forest, hold a cosmetic mirror in one hand, and a flashlight in the other. Myself..." At this point, he himself laughed: "Oh, it doesn't work - he doesn't have a third hand to apply makeup." It proves that he did not participate in the crime, at most he was a cover-up criminal.” Lin Xiangming patted the steering wheel angrily, “I’m so stupid! I even suspected that the murderer was a high school student through the profile analysis, but I still couldn’t identify it earlier This scoundrel. There are such obvious contradictions in the record of interrogating Bai Tianyu. Because of my habitual thinking, I think the college entrance examination is on July, August, and September. I didn’t find this important clue in time!” His brows were furrowed. A conclusion: "This guy must not be allowed to commit another murder! But... where is he now?" At this moment, his cell phone rang, and it was Liu Simiao who called: "He is the murderer! We are in his In a locked cabinet in the room, several rotting breasts were found!" "Any other discoveries?" "His room was very messy and dirty, the drawers were full of pornographic novels and magazines, and under the bed There is one... an inflatable doll for men, and it has been ravaged beyond recognition." "Are there any clues about his criminal activities?" Xiang Ming said anxiously, "For example, he specifically outlined the days when he committed crimes on the calendar. Out: June 21st, June 23rd, June 25th..." "Yes! Every day he commits a crime, he has marked a check mark with a red pen—he has also marked a check mark today!" Xiang Ming's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Is there something written on it?" "No." Si Miao said. "Look carefully!" Xiang Ming's voice trembled, "Si Miao, that guy will definitely kill someone tonight, but we don't know where he is... You must find clues, and only you can find them now!" There was a long silence in the microphone, and Si Miao's deep voice came out: "Xiangming, I'm sorry..." Xiang Tea felt like her whole body had sunk into a glacier, and she froze in an instant. "I still can't save them, I can't save anyone - even just one person! I can't save them..." Hu Yanyun's desperate voice echoed so clearly in his ears.Outside the car window, the night is as heavy as death.No! Huyan, we can't give up, we have to save one—even if only one! He gritted his teeth and straightened up suddenly. "Crash!" He knew that he had auditory hallucinations. Where did the sound of the iceberg breaking come from?He raised the phone to his ear again: "Si Miao, don't be discouraged. You carefully observe the dates that have been ticked to see if there is anything special about it, and don't miss any of it." His voice was like that Gentle and calm, Liu Simiao on the other side of the microphone felt a strong sense of courage and strength pouring into her heart: "There is only one thing that is strange: after today's date, there is a colon and two vertical lines, The last vertical is thicker." A colon, plus two verticals, and the last vertical is thicker—what does this mean?Lin Xiangming took out a pen and drew it out on the notebook, it seemed familiar, and it was chaotic again.After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out that the car was so quiet that he could hear the beating sound of the second hand of the watch. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he picked up the phone again: "Si Miao, I think this symbol is very familiar, it is I can't think of its name or meaning...but it must be related to something familiar to the murderer. Tell me the things in his room that you can see at a glance, the more the better." "Okay." Thinking Miao said, "By the window there is a table with lamps, computers, CDs, and scattered pills; there is a bed with a broken guitar beside the bed; there is a bookcase, in which besides books and magazines there are Transformers, monster toys, a harmonica, a photo frame—by the way: all the photos of this family only show him and his mother, not his father..." "Wait a minute." Lin Xiangming Suddenly stopped.Guitar, harmonica, in the most conspicuous place of this guy's room, there are actually two instruments.That symbol is... "Thank you, Si Miao!" Lin Xiangming shouted into the phone, and then stepped on the gas pedal, the car rushed forward like a cheetah! "What does that symbol mean?" Guo Xiaofen asked. "The repetition mark in the stave!" Xiangming said excitedly, "that guy is a music lover, and he uses music notation to mark his actions. The repetition mark means to repeat the performance from the beginning. He put today's crime location, choose At his first crime scene - the Ancient Capital Ruins Park!" Du Jianping asked: "The park is so big, where can we find him?" Yes, he just wanted to hide somewhere and wait for rabbits, and he couldn’t bear the bites of mosquitoes. I remember that after the Liushan case happened, when he took notes for the suspected suspect, Bai Tianyu said that he liked to go to the small square and watch the girls gathered there If I were a murderer, I would hide in a corner of the square to find a suitable prey, and then follow them up, waiting for an opportunity to strike." "Okay!" Lin Xiangming gave Guo Xiaofen an appreciative glance.The cruiser stopped outside the small square.Lin Xiangming and others rushed in.It was almost half past ten, and the crowd had dispersed long ago, except for a few old ladies waving big cattail fans scattered here and there.Guo Xiaofen asked one by one: "Have you seen a young man with a bag on his back or carrying it?" "Why do you say he is carrying a bag?" Ma asked curiously with a smile.Guo Xiaofen gave him a blank look: "You stupid brain! Didn't Xiangming just say that after the murderer committed the crime, there must be blood on his body, and he was wearing a bloody coat, swaggering home on the street under strict surveillance by the police? Put the clean coat in the bag, put it on after committing the crime, and put the bloody clothes in the bag to take away." Sure enough.An old lady stretched out her withered fingers and pointed to a small road going north: "There is such a person who just went to that road." Bundle of hills. "Go!" Xiang Ming ordered, and all the police officers took out their pistols and followed him up the path to the hills.At night, it was as thick as ink, and it was impossible to distinguish the scene ahead, only to see countless blood vessel-like things rushing towards the face, and it was not until the back of the hand and the burning pain on the face that I realized that I had rushed too hard, deviated from the path, and was caught. Branches scratched.After turning over several hills, there is a road ahead.Lin Xiangming stopped in her tracks: "No, I overdid it." "Ah?" Du Jianping was anxious.Lin Xiangming said: "If a girl comes here, she probably wants to take a shortcut to go home, but now we have found neither the murderer nor the victim... Wait a minute, what's the sound?" The rumble of the car.Damn the car noise! ​​It drowns out everything else and I can't hear anything.Xiangming listened hard, but her eardrums ached.Quiet, I need to be quiet... extremely short, only about 1/10 of a second, he caught it! That painful moan was sifted through the dense layers of branches and leaves like a spider web, as thin as a gossamer-but he still caught it! Lin Xiangming ran towards the dense forest behind him, his vigorous figure was like lightning, splitting the iron-like darkness.Quick! Quick! Quick, quick, quick! There, down there, down the hills! In a clearing among the pine forests wriggling white flesh.Xiang Tea rushed down like crazy.A bright sharp knife suddenly rushed up from below and stabbed at him fiercely. It was too late to dodge! Xiang Tea leaped into the air and slammed her knees into the murderer's chest fiercely. This is the fiercest "knee punching" in Muay Thai Hit", the murderer's sternum made a cracking sound, and flew several meters away on his back, hitting a tree, howling in despair, spewing out streams of blood foam from the corner of his mouth! The side stab just cut his belt.Xiang Tea took off her police uniform and wrapped herself around that white body.A pair of painful and beautiful eyes stared at him: "Help..." "Girl, hold on, hold on!" He gently searched for wounds on her warm and soft body, as if stroking a piece of satin . "Ah, here...it hurts." The incision was small and shallow, and it wasn't a serious problem. "Girl, it's okay, the ambulance will be here soon!" Du Jianping and others had already arrived, handcuffed the murderer, and took him away like a plague chicken.香茗紧紧抱住这个姑娘，像在冰雪中拥抱快要冻僵的爱人，用自己的体温为她驱除严寒。泪水，从他的眼角无声地流淌下来。呼延，你看，我们不是还能拯救吗——哪怕只救一个人，只救一个…… 7月10日早晨，香茗醒来，发现自己躺在办公室的沙发上，身上盖着一件发出淡淡香味的警服。“你醒啦？”随着话音，刘思缈走到他身边，手里还端着一杯热气腾腾的咖啡。真难得，她的声音中竟少了一丝冰冷，多了一丝温暖。香茗从沙发上坐起，把盖在身上的警服还给思缈，接过咖啡，一小口一小口地慢慢啜着。苦涩的香甜，味道真好:“你们忙了一夜吧？辛苦啦。”“倒也没费什么力气，那个家伙在先前几起案件的犯罪现场留下了大量指纹，所以认罪非常痛快。”思缈说。“白天羽是怎么交代的？”“白天羽说，6月21日晚上他确实约了表弟，但等了很久才来，他表弟身上有血，神情恍惚，自称是遇到抢劫的了，但不想报警，怕找麻烦。因此当警察问询时，他才按照和表弟事先说好的，对警察撒了谎。对于表弟杀人，他表示毫不知情。那本英语高考用书是表弟给他的，他感到莫名其妙，所以事后就扔掉了。”香茗点点头:“凶手为什么要杀人？”思缈摇摇头:“凶手对涉及作案动机的问题一律不回答，他才18岁，身上却有一股惊人的狠劲……”香茗站了起来:“我去和他谈谈。”拘禁室里，凶手靠墙坐着。灯光打在他瘦削的脸上，像切了一刀似的半明半暗。香茗发现，他和自己做的个性剖绘惊人一致:个头瘦小，脸上长满了粉刺。手铐和脚镣戴在他身上，显得有点大题小做。因为无论是谁，也断断想不到制造出举世震惊的系列割乳命案的凶嫌，竟然是这么个羸弱的小孩子。只在香茗进门的一瞬间，他的眼中射出一道尖刀般锐利的光芒，才暴露出他的凶残和狠毒。香茗坐在他对面的椅子上，看着他，目光沉静。两道目光对视着。终于，凶狠的一道，渐渐输给了沉静的一道。凶徒低下头去，神情颓唐，犹如褪了毛的鸡。“妈妈总是打你，对么？”香茗突然问。 凶手猛地抬起头，像平白无故地被人抽了一耳光，满面的惊恐。香茗慢慢地说:“爸爸很早就离开了你们，妈妈把气撒在你的身上，你长大了，但她还是打你，你不敢反抗，你愤怒极了。你长得不好看，家境不好，学习也一直不好，所以虽然你有音乐天赋，但是同学们都看不起你、嘲笑你——尤其是女同学。”香茗的口吻是那样平静，仿佛在陈述一个简单的事实，然而凶手的双手却不停地摩挲起来，弄得手铐当啷作响。他像是一只久在地下的鼹鼠，居住的洞穴突然被掘开，于是拼命遮挡、躲藏着头顶那一缕光芒。香茗接着说:“你恨他们，尤其恨女人。高考一结束，你就明白，你是考不上大学的，你绝望极了，就像床边那把废弃了的、断了弦的吉它……”凶手的嘴角抽搐着，终于呜呜地哭出声来:“我的吉它坏了，我没有钱修，我绝望极了，我恨她们……”香茗盯着他问:“所以你就杀人？”“我，我……”凶手抽泣得喘不上气来，“她们看不起我，她们欺负我……”“谁教给你，杀了她们之后，再割去她们的乳房的？”香茗问。“报纸上说，有个叫陈丹的女大学生，被人把乳房割掉了。我就想，太好了，让那些婊子当不成女人了，活受罪。”香茗悲愤地看着对面的凶手，他满脸的粉刺让人恶心:“你知道不知道，刀子刺进她们的身体，她们会疼，很疼很疼——她们是人!”“她们不是人……”凶手哭得更加伤心了，“她们倒在地上了，全身都是血，打滚，叫唤，这些母狗还是不停地咒骂我，她们还是不停地咒骂我。我就用刀戳她们，拿尿滋她们，朝她们身上射精，渐渐地，她们就不动了，不动了……”“哗啦!”林香茗猛地站了起来，撞倒了椅子，两只拳头死死地抵在桌面上，牙齿咬得咯吱作响，脸色铁青。凶手害怕了，把身体畏缩成小小的一团。“香茗!”思缈轻轻地叫了他一声。 香茗转身，走出了审讯室。楼道里，所有的警员都向他敬礼，可是他像没有看到一样，匆匆走过，并不还礼，这在人们的记忆中，还是第一次。思缈匆匆追上去，回到行为科学小组办公室，她看见，他坐在窗前，面容苍白。“他不把她们当人。”香茗喃喃地说，“呼延说得对，死的人越来越多了……”思缈听不懂他话里的意思。这时，杜建平喜气洋洋地走了进来:“组长，最新消息，公安部要给咱们专案组记集体一等功，明天晚上局里开庆功会!”这一声“组长”叫得格外真诚，全无从前的揶揄之意。刘思缈刹那间明白了:昨天晚上，香茗特地让自己电话联系杜建平和林凤冲，让他们赶到华文大学附近会合，原来用意就在于让他们一同参加抓捕行动，这样在记功时才不至于分出三六九等。想想杜建平一直和香茗过不去，而香茗在关键时刻却顾及他的利益，不惜把功劳分给他，思缈非常感动。“庆功会？”香茗摇摇头，“不开也罢。”“为什么？”杜建平惊讶地说，“这可是许局长特意为你安排的啊。”“因为，杀死芬妮、娟子并残害陈丹的那个凶手，还没有抓到。”林香茗冷冷地说，“他才是真正可怕的对手。别忘了，他留给我们的火柴盒里，五根火柴中，还剩三根没有燃烧……”
