rose bone

So the question arises - what is useful?

First of all, Situ pointed out: "We know that there is lemon Perrier water under the rose gift box in the theater, and we associate it with Shen Lujun, but..." Situ stopped here and looked at Lin Yao calmly, "I don't know you What did you think? At that time, my first reaction was that Shen Lujun might be the murderer."

Lin Yao shrugged: "Me too. However, we were all wrong."

This time, it was Situ's turn to smile bitterly: "Yes. If the murderer deliberately left the lemon-flavored Perrier in the theater, then the purpose of 'deliberately' refers to the next victim, Shen Lujun. If you think about it this way, There should be clues left by the murderer at the scene of Song Haibin's death, alluding to Wang Lu."

Lin Yao didn't continue with Situ's analysis. He seemed to have calmed down, pacing slowly in the living room with his head down.Situ couldn't figure out what he was thinking, he could only watch him walking around like a little turtle.Suddenly, Lin Yao kicked hard on the sofa, and his dull voice broke his seemingly calm appearance.

Still angry, Situ thought to himself.

Lin Yao admitted his negligence and his shortcomings.That's great, isn't it?At least Lin Yao was very glad that he didn't fight Situ all the way because he wanted to lose face.A mistake is a mistake, but fortunately, he still has a chance to start all over again.

After making up his mind, Lin Yao called Tan Ning and asked him and Tang Shuo to carefully check if there was anything related to the theater in the drawer that had been transferred.

When they heard that Shen Lujun was killed at home, Tan Ning and Tang Shuo were very surprised.

Tan Ning regained his composure and immediately replied, "Yes!"

Tan Ning was very careful in his work. He memorized everything in the lost drawer.Tell Lin Yao that there is a movie ticket inside.

Who cares about a movie ticket?

At this moment, everyone who ignored the movie tickets was blaming themselves.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Ning looked a little gloomy, and said to Tang Shuo beside him, "Xiao Tang, take your movie tickets and go to Shen Lujun's house."

Tang Shuo's face was full of anger, which showed that he was also very angry at Shen Lujun's death.Or, he had the same thought as Tan Ning, if they found out that Shen Lujun hadn't left earlier, could a murder case have been avoided?

However, there is no such thing as a magic bullet "what if" that allows you to do it all over again.

In Shen Lujun's home, Lin Yao and Situ stayed in the living room in order to protect the scene.Both squatted on the ground, staring at each other.At this moment, Situ has completely calmed down, and the evil fire has dissipated, but he can see that Lin Yao has not let go.Just as he was about to excuse Lin Yao, he heard him say, "Now I understand why the murderer changed the drawer. He didn't take away things at all, but put movie tickets in."

Situ then said: "The purpose of changing the drawers is to confuse our sight."

Yes, indeed.However, none of us found out.but……

Lin Yao shook his head, and muttered to himself in a puzzled manner: "Why do you come close every time? There were three murders, and three times I missed the murderer. It's definitely not a coincidence."

"Indeed." Situ sat down on the ground, glanced at the courtyard outside the house, and half-closed his eyes, "One time can be said to be a coincidence, three times... The key is, how did the murderer control our actions?"

Lin Yao couldn't figure this out either.

"This question is not difficult to solve. The key lies in whether the murderer has mastered your actions or mine." Situ gradually grasped the key point, "Let's go through Wang Lu's case again—discover Rose The time of flowering the gift box was 23:40, and the time of Wang Lu’s death was 00:10, more than an hour later, the murderer killed more calmly, why did he kill Wang Lu before we arrived at Wang Lu’s house? Lu?"

Lin Yao shook his head, obviously unable to figure this out.

Situ suddenly said: "The ones who died were all the members of the band back then, and it is very likely that Yan Feng will be next. No, I have to go back and find Yan Feng."

"Let's go together." Lin Yao grabbed Situ who was about to stand up, not allowing him to refuse.

Situ patted the back of Lin Yao's hand and said, "You have to stay and explain the situation. Moreover, the murderer is likely to leave clues about who the next victim is."

Before Lin Yao could speak, there was noise outside, and Deng Jie and the forensics team entered in a file.Situ made a phone call gesture to Lin Yao and left in a hurry.

When Deng Jie saw the corpse, she was very calm, and started working after asking Lin Yao a few questions.The forensics team began to investigate at Shen Lujun's home, and Lin Yao explained the specific situation to everyone.At this time, Deng Jie said: "Shen Lujun's death is miserable enough."

Lin Yao was shocked when he heard Deng Jie's words in the living room.After explaining a few words casually, he hurried out and called Situ while running: "Situ, the murderer's modus operandi has changed."

Situ, who was driving, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked, "Why?"

"Song Haibin put human skulls in the flower room and was killed afterwards; Wang Lu put bouquets and human bones forever and was killed later. That is to say, they all did something for the murderer before they were killed. However, Shen What did Lu Jun do for the murderer?"

Situ hurriedly turned the steering wheel, parked the car on the side of the road, and said anxiously: "Damn, I'm a little dizzy, let me think about it. Song Haibin and Wang Lu, we both discovered what they did for the murderer first, and then They were found to be corpses. However, when we found Shen Lujun, he already had roses and human bones in his hands."

"We mean the same thing. It's..."

"Wait, wait until I have a smooth ride." Situ interrupted Lin Yao, "Because the roses and human bones are in the hands of Shen Lujun, so you are sure that the murderer's routine has changed."

Lin Yao immediately understood what Situ wanted to express.

Song Haibin put the roses and skulls in the greenhouse, and the place where he was killed was his office; Wang Lu put the roses and human bones in the cinema, and the place where he was killed was his own home.In other words, two spaces are involved in a murder case.But Shen Lujun's case was not the case. Roses, human bones, and the dead were all in the same space.From the decryptor's point of view, the murderer's motivation for behavior has changed, and the change itself will lead to many clues that can be investigated.

Situ, who was a little confused a few minutes ago, gradually became happier.The serious expression on his face was also replaced by a smile lock of unknown meaning.The tone he spoke to Lin Yao was mixed with embarrassment: "Look, on the third day after Song Haibin was killed, Wang Lu was killed, and less than 24 hours later, Shen Lujun was killed. You Don't you think the murderer is in a hurry? It seems like he is in a hurry."

Lin Yao said, "Not necessarily."

"Think about it harder. The first two cases involved two crime locations, but Shen Lujun only had one. Why did the murderer's modus operandi change? There's no time, and conditions don't allow it."

Is it really that simple?Regarding Situ's analysis, Lin Yao expressed a neutral attitude for the time being.But no matter what, Yan Feng is very dangerous now.And what will be found next depends on the second conversation between Situ and Yan Feng.At least, Lin Yao thought so.

"You go to Yan Feng, we'll meet there." Lin Yao stopped the taxi and decided on the next move.

When Situ rushed to the brokerage company, Yan Feng was going to have lunch. He was a little surprised to see Situ go and come back.The brokerage company has its own small restaurant, and Yan Feng found a quiet corner to talk.Hearing that Shen Lujun was killed an hour ago, his face was pale.

Situ was not in the mood to comfort him, and said bluntly: "The murderer's purpose should be revenge, so I want you to look at the photos and see if you recognize this person."

As he said that, Situ took out the 3D reconstruction map of the skull and showed it to Yan Feng.

Yan Feng looked at it carefully for a long while, and then let out a long breath, as if a hanging heart finally fell.He said: "If the murderer was out to avenge her, I would be in no danger."

"It seems that you know a lot of inside information. Let's talk about it carefully."

Yan Feng pointed to the restoration picture with his chopsticks, and told Situ that the girl was named "Yuan Xin", and she was the waiter they met at the resident bar.

Yan Feng said: "When I met her, she seemed to be only 17 years old. You may wonder how I can remember it so clearly after so many years. I will tell you that Shen Lujun, Song Haibin and Wang Lu Du once pursued Yuan Xin."

Situ grinned, "The age gap is a bit big."

Yan Feng snorted and laughed, "If you have money, it doesn't matter how big the difference is. But, Yuan Xin is very slippery, she neither agrees nor refuses, and she doesn't know anything about it with the three of them. I know Yuan Xin is She came from the countryside and her family was very poor, because she had no place to live, so the boss let her live in a bar. Later, Song Haibin lent her a house to please her."

At the beginning, Yuan Xin wanted to go to art school with all her heart, but because her family was poor and had no tuition fees, she went to work outside.Yan Feng is a very realistic person, although Yuan Xin is very cute, but love without bread, Yan Feng is dismissive.But the other three people are very interesting to Yuan Xin.

Shen Lujun is the oldest, Wang Lu is in the middle, and Song Haibin is the third.These three people seem to have reached a tacit agreement, no one will hinder the other, and each pursues Yuan Xin according to his own ability.Among them, Song Haibin worked the most. He lent his apartment to Yuan Xin, so Yuan Xin was the closest to him.For a period of time, they often met in that apartment, chatting, drinking, talking about ideals and so on.At that time, Yan Feng was in the stage of desperately looking for skills from his teachers, and he seldom played with them.Later, when the drug incident happened, he alienated those people even more.

Yan Feng said: "Later, the bar owner asked me in private whether Yuan Xin took drugs, and I said I didn't know. In fact, I really didn't know. But according to the owner, it was basically like that. I just wanted to , Maybe it was Song Haibin and the three who gave Yuan Xin drugs. I was very surprised at the time, because... three kings, one and two, it's disgusting."

Leaving aside the matter of the three kings, one and two, Situ asked, "Does Yuan Xin have any better friends or relatives?"

"I really don't know how to say this." Yan Feng shook his head, "Yuan Xin and I were not close at first, but then we deliberately distanced ourselves from her to avoid suspicion. We don't even know each other."

"Among the guests, did you treat Yuan Xin well?"

Situ's question made Yan Feng deep in thought, and after a long time, he said: "There is a man who fought with Shen Lujun for Yuan Xin, and he is in the bar."

Situ poured Yan Feng a cup of tea for him to remember.

In Yan Feng's memory, he was a very gentle and handsome man, who didn't seem very old.He really didn't remember how the fight started. The only thing that left a deep impression on him was that Shen Lujun punched the man hard in the face and warned him not to go to the bar in the future.And Yuan Xin has been hiding in the lounge.At that time, Yan Feng even went to find Yuan Xin, saying that there was a fight outside, which would not be good for our band's reputation, so go and persuade him.

Yan Feng's starting point is for the band to have a good reputation, obviously other people don't think so.That man was beaten terribly by Shen Lujun, Song Haibin, Wang Lu and three others.Yuan Xin never showed up, and the bar owner took the man out, stuffed some money, and dismissed him.At that time, Yan Feng was also full of anger, and left before the end of the performance. He didn't know what happened afterwards. When he saw Yuan Xin the next day, the girl seemed to be fine.

Situ thought about it. According to what Yan Feng said, several people who knew Yuan Xin were dead. If there is anyone else who can provide clues, it is estimated that only the old bar owner is left.Situ asked, "Can you still contact the boss?"

Yan Feng nodded, "The boss helped me find an agent back then. I am still very grateful to him, so we have always been in touch."

While Yan Feng was on the phone, Situ informed Lin Yao of the situation through WeChat.

Lin Yao arrived half an hour later. When he entered the door, he was too hasty and accidentally bumped into someone. He reached out to give him a hand. After a closer look, it turned out that it was Yan Feng's dance coach, Mr. Ke.

Lin Yao thought to himself: Are all those who engage in art so fragile?It can fall if you hit it.

"Sorry." Lin Yao apologized hastily, and hurried inside.Teacher Ke hadn't stood still yet, and stretched out his hand as if to say something to Lin Yao. Looking at Lin Yao's hurried figure, he still didn't call him after all.

Lin Yao met Situ in Yan Feng's personal lounge, and Situ said, "Have you notified your team yet?"

Lin Yao nodded, "Xiao Tang and Tan Zi went to investigate Yuan Xin. You go to see the boss, I'll stay and see the situation." He said, gesturing for a phone call.

Obviously, some situations are not suitable for speaking in front of Yan Feng.

After Situ left the brokerage company, he went straight to the boss's place.On the way, I called Lin Yao.

The question Lin Yao wanted to talk about was the situation at the scene of the Shen Lujun case. Until he left the scene, he hadn’t found any clues implying the next victim. Maybe he hadn’t found it yet, and Lin Yao planned to go and have a look again when he had time.

Later, Situ found the boss in a bar near the university.

More than ten years have passed, and the owner still opens the bar, but on a larger scale.It is next to two schools, so business is very good.

Before Yan Feng made an introduction, the boss received Situ very warmly. After mentioning Yuan Xin, the boss pursed his lips and sighed silently.

"It's a good girl, it's a pity."

In the impression of the boss, Yuan Xin is a very diligent and studious girl. Although she doesn't understand many things, she is very smart and can learn everything quickly.Seeing that she was pitiful, the boss let her live in the store.Later, Yuan Xin said that she rented a house outside, but the boss didn't think much about it, thinking that it was inconvenient for a girl to always live in the store, and it was normal to rent a house.But it was later learned that someone from the band lent her an apartment.

The boss said: "I have no position to say anything about this matter. Even if I know that Yuan Xin has an abnormal relationship with those members of the band, I can't say it. Right?"

Situ nodded.

"However, I have always felt that..." The boss paused, and continued: "There was a problem with Yuan Xin leaving my shop suddenly."

Situ asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Actually, Yuan Xin's child is very polite, but she left without saying hello, which I feel is wrong. In addition, the child has a small box, which is very well received. It contains cash, ID cards, etc. Yes. After she left, the box was always in my store, and I thought, if she went to work elsewhere, how could she take the box away?"

"Do you still keep that box?" Situ hurriedly asked.

The boss shook his head, "It's been so many years, it's gone long ago."

This is indeed very strange.It's not normal for a girl who works hard to leave her money and ID card and leave without saying goodbye.Thinking of this, Situ couldn't help but blame the boss, why didn't he call the police for such an abnormal thing?If he called the police, would Yuan Xin have another result? Would Song Haibin and the others end up being killed?

However, after thinking about it, Situ felt that there was no reason to blame the boss.He is not Yuan Xin's relatives or friends. If he had called the police back then, it was out of kindness, and it was his duty not to call the police.It is not a matter of course for anyone to be kind to others, and it is not predestined for anyone to be responsible for whom.The road can only be walked out on your own, whether it is flat or rough, you must first see the world clearly.Obviously, Yuan Xin didn't see the world clearly, and didn't finish her own journey.

Lin Yao was still with Yan Feng when he received Situ's call, because he had to meet Situ because he had found new clues.Moreover, after all, nothing happened to Yan Feng, he couldn't stay by his side all the time to protect him.Finally, I told Yan Feng not to stay alone, no matter where he went, there must be someone by his side.He even told Yan Feng's manager that he had worked hard recently, and no matter what, Yan Feng could not be left alone.Notify him or the Crime Squad immediately if anything happens.As if facing a formidable enemy, the agent immediately set about making arrangements.
