Like all constellations, there are various myths and legends about Virgo.Among them is such a sad version:

Zeus, the god of the sky, and Demeter, the goddess of harvest, had a daughter named Persephone.During a trip, the beautiful girl Persephone ran into Hades, the king of the underworld, who was a tyrant. He fell in love with Persephone, and took her abducted to the underworld to become his queen. , and tricked her into eating the food of the underworld, so that Persephone could no longer stay on the earth for a long time.From then on, whenever Persephone was forced to return to the underworld, the goddess of harvest would be heartbroken, and since then there has been a severe winter in which not a single blade of grass can grow.

"So, the paranoid mother who piled up a room full of astrology books and props probably regarded her Virgo daughter as Persephone herself. Regarding the fact that her daughter has a boyfriend, Especially when this man is very inconsistent with her requirements, she is even more desperate to stop her daughter from falling in love?"

Ji Lian has gone through all the photos Quan Yifeng brought back twice, and he is zooming in on one of the photos on the screen.The photo was taken of the second bedroom, which is Sun Sifan's bedroom.There was a meter-high oil paint hanging on a wall there, depicting a beautiful young girl.If nothing else, the girl's prototype is likely to be Sun Sifan herself.The girl holds ears of wheat in one hand and a harvesting sickle in the other, and the whole picture is filled with the joy of a good harvest.And the most eye-catching thing, apart from the girl's appearance and figure, are the thirteen shining stars dotted on the girl's body, the arrangement and position are exactly the same as the Virgo astrology!

A line of small characters in the lower right corner of the face cloth, enlarged to the maximum level, can be seen vaguely: For the dearest Sifan——Mom

No wonder Quan Yifeng was so excited on the phone just now, Ji Lian hastily made a [-]D model of the villa in his mind, and when he connected all the clues and evidence they had so far, the cat ears in his heart Both the tail and tail are erected high, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Do we still know nothing about Sun Sifan's ex-boyfriend?" Ji Lian asked Quan Yifeng who was sitting beside him.

"I don't know anything." Quan Yifeng said in a drawn out voice.He looked around, and besides the two of them in the office, only Li Yunbin, who was bitter, was still helpless with the codes on the screen, and he was still pointing his butt at them.So he moved his head closer and leaned on Ji Lian's shoulder.It seems that the over-excitement just now consumed too much of his energy, and now he has to go to Professor Ji to recharge his batteries.

Ji Lian nodded, only to realize that a huge dog was lying on his back at some point.He patted Quan Yifeng's hairy hair lightly with his hand, and said: "Well, unblessed love can only grow in the dark. In Sun Sifan's room, at least there is no trace of love in the photos." .But I think this person is very important."

"You think so too?" Quan Yifeng sat up straight, "I also think this should be the focus of our current investigation. According to the records of the Third Hospital, Sun Li has been discharged after two years of admission, and her whereabouts are still unknown. , but I think the possibility of a delirious middle-aged woman completing such a large-scale murder in such a long period of time is still too low."

"Agreed. Besides, I think this matter may be urgent."

"Urgent? Why?" Quan Yifeng sat up straight and looked at Ji Lian's side face, "Suppose that the starry sky map composed of the 'sacrifices' of astrologers in Linzhou City is from Sun Sifan A gift from her mysterious boyfriend, and at the same time a hate and mockery of an astrology obsessive like Sun Li, isn't it already finished?"

"It's hard to say the specifics. As far as we know, in general, these thirteen murders have three obvious things in common. First, the deceased are all related to astrology; second, the social status and influence of the deceased , coincides with the brightness of the stars in the corresponding position of the constellation; third, before the 'suicide', the deceased had just experienced unsatisfactory things, such as marriage breakdown, exam failure, relatives' death, and even being forced to come out, etc. These All kinds of things make me think that the murderer has a strong tendency of perfectionism. But only Lu Guodong's "suicide" does not meet the first two."

Quan Yifeng nodded.After fighting criminals for so many years, although ordinary people's crimes of passion are more common, deliberate murders by psychopaths, which are more serious crimes to society, are by no means an exception.But what they met this time, no matter how you look at it, it should be the latter.He said: "So Lu Guodong, as the first suicide victim, seemed very abrupt in the whole incident."

"That's right, I don't think the murderer we speculated can tolerate such flaws." Ji Lian said.

"You mean, he is very likely to commit crimes again? In order to make his gift perfect?" Quan Yifeng felt that the possibility seemed quite high.

"I'm not sure, and it may just be my unfounded worries. Because for a perfectionist, if he wants to make up for his flaws in the first crime, even if he has an ideal substitute, because the position of the constellation chart is Certainly, he must also arrange the murder at the same place. But it is more difficult to meet the latter condition now."

"Okay, then we will focus on screening this mysterious man tomorrow. But I have something more important to do now." Quan Yifeng stood up and stretched himself.

"What's the matter?" Ji Lian looked up at him, but there was a crisp sound from his neck.

Quan Yifeng rubbed him quickly, squeezed the overworked shoulder and neck muscles distressedly, and said: "My first priority now is to bring you home, serve you with delicious food and drink, and see if I can help you in the future." Before Mian Sheng put on two catties of weight."

"Miansheng? What kind of saint?" Ji Lian took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and was still immersed in the discussion of the case just now.

"I've gone home with you to meet the parents, don't you plan to go back with me to meet my queen mother?" Quan Yifeng worked hard to massage Ji Lian's shoulders and necks, with a flattering "Little Quanzi".

Ji Lian's hand wiping his glasses trembled slightly. Seeing this, Quan Yifeng grabbed his hand and said quickly: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I haven't said anything to my mother yet."

"Claw loose, I, I'm hungry." It seems that Professor Ji is so hungry that he can't speak well.

"Okay, let's go for supper right now." Quan Yifeng picked up Ji Lian's briefcase, put his arm around Ji Lian's shoulders as if no one else was there, and swaggered towards the door.

In the office of the joint project team, which looks like a computer recycling bin, only Li Yunbin, a marathon runner who was sidelined by Fang Fang because the birthday present he gave last week was too ugly, was left chewing dog food.

Fang Fang didn't have time to talk to him now, because she was going to Sun Li's hometown with Xiao Xu tomorrow morning.

Sun Li was taken out after two years in the Third Hospital. There must be something strange about this matter.According to Ma Xin, Sun Li was already a loner, and the wives of the Lu family had no time to take care of her. Then who took her out of the Third Hospital?The discharge records that Fang Fang and the others saw in the Third Hospital were ambiguous, and the family member of the registered patient was Sun Li's aunt, Sun Lijuan.They have to find out what purpose this Sun Lijuan took Sun Li away from, and where is Sun Li now?

This afternoon, everyone in the special team gathered the information they had found in the past two days and held a case discussion meeting.

It turned out that Sun Sifan not only didn't go to college, he didn't even graduate from high school.The reason was that in the second semester of her third year of high school, she applied for a suspension of school due to severe depression.This stayed at home for three years until his death.

She should not have traveled far in those three years, at least there was no record of her in the records of the transportation department.Moreover, from the transaction records of their mother and daughter's bank card accounts at that time, there was no trace of her participating in any group activities during that time.As for her neighbors, those who live in that villa community are either rich or noble, and there are no poor boys.

"So, judging from her narrow communication range after dropping out of school, her boyfriend is likely to be her old classmate?" Ji Lian didn't know when he became a member of the special team.Anyway, wherever Quan Yifeng is now, everyone will default to where he is.

"We thought so too. But after checking all her classmates from elementary school to high school, they met the appearance requirements. During that time, she was in China and had no known other girlfriends. There was only one." Wang Fu clicked on his notebook. He nodded and said, "But it's a pity that that person went abroad to sit in immigration prison two years ago, and his entry records for the two years don't correspond to the last four suicide cases. That means he doesn't meet the conditions for committing serial crimes."

Everyone was silent for a while, Quan Yifeng asked: "Fang Fang, what did you find?"

Fang Fang, who was still in Sun Li's hometown, said on the other end of the video call: "Oh, boss, those relatives and neighbors of Sun Li are really wonderful people. The village cadres have greeted them 180 times. Those seven The aunts and eight aunts seemed to have evaporated in the world, and they all disappeared. Xiao Xu and I went door to door looking for people, and some even ran to the next village! This hot day is so frustrating. She is very irritable. Later, the village cadre explained to us that people here saw that her father died early, and heard that her daughter lost her and went crazy. They all despised her family for being too unlucky, and no one wanted to have anything to do with her family. .”

I haven't seen this big girl for two days. The moment her voice rang out, everyone felt that the team was much more lively.She went on to say: "Sun Li has two aunts, one is Sun Zhuying and the other is Sun Zhufang, but guess what? There is no one named Sun Lijuan in their entire village!"

The two clues encountered resistance at the same time, and everyone couldn't help frowning.

Fang Fang asked: "Hey, tell me, is it possible that Sun Lijuan is Sun Sifan's boyfriend who disguised himself as a woman?"

"If Sun Sifan's boyfriend is the one we met in Zhang Youyou's apartment, the possibility is relatively small." It was Wang Fu who answered her.

"why?"

"Think about it, how attractive it is for such a tall man to pretend to be a woman."

"That's right. Passers-by in reality are not NCPs in the game. It is impossible to open their eyes and be blind to such a degree. There will never be anyone with such good acting skills, not even the actor." Fang Fang clicked on the video. nod.
