After a day, Li Dongqing didn't come to the door until the evening of the third day.

At that time, a table of people was eating around. When Li Dongqing saw her, she stood awkwardly by the door, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.

Ji Nian brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Li Dongqing and asked him to sit at the table.

Li Dongqing was unwilling, but in the end she was forced onto the stool.

Qu Feng was also eating here, he looked at Li Dongqing with disgust, and muttered: "The bumpkin..."

Peng Manman sat next to him and was eating, when he heard it, he glanced at Qu Feng and said, "If this is Lu Xi's friend, you say that, Lu Xi will give you a meal?"

Qu Feng's face suddenly darkened, he didn't respond at first, and only accelerated the speed of grilling the rice.

But after eating, Qu Feng put down his chopsticks, stood up like a grandpa, and said, "You still want to eat? It's funny, I really think I have no place to eat? If it weren't for Lu Xi's handicrafts, I wouldn't come here! "

After speaking, Qu Feng left.

Lu Xi was calm and expressionless. He turned his head towards Peng Manman and motioned, "Close the door."

Peng Manman was closest to the double doors of the hall.

"Why?" Although Peng Manman was puzzled, he still bit his chopsticks and got up.

"Let the dog go." Ji Nian added lightly.

Lu Xi: "..."

After Peng Manman closed the door, Lu Xi revealed his real intention: "Qu Feng is leaving, it's just in time, I have something to do, don't let other people hear it."

"What's the matter?" Liu Siyi stretched his head forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Still hiding it so that no one can hear it?"

Ji Nian gave Li Dongqing a look.

Li Dongqing understood, took out a hard cover book from his canvas bag, pushed it in front of Ji Nian, and said: "I accompanied my sister to find someone. At first, the three girls were unwilling to open their mouths. They are all convinced, what they talked about, what they answered, all are recorded in this small book, and what my sister experienced...she wrote it herself. The photos of several people are clipped in the book, but try to You watch alone..."

Then, he took out a stack of coloring pages from his bag and said, "This is the tourist map distributed on our island. It has the overall picture and each area. If you want all the versions from last year to this year, I will give you all of them." coming."

Except for Ji Nian and Lu Xi, everyone else looked dazed after Li Dongqing finished speaking in one breath.

"Baby..." Cheng Jue took a coloring page map, looked at it twice, then looked at Ji Nian, puzzled, "Why do you need a map? Also, what's the matter with the girl?"

Ji Nian opened the hard-shell book, and saw that it was written in neat blue ballpoint pen, and it was full of more than 20 pages.

Ji Nian glanced roughly at the victim's photo, then moved his eyes quickly to browse the contents of the notebook, but his voice was still slow, and he replied:

"Since January last year, there have been four rape cases on this island, one in January, two in July, and the one the day before yesterday."

Liu Siyi covered her lips in astonishment, and was stunned for a while. Just about to ask something, Ji Nian spoke again, and said lightly:

"They didn't call the police, they chose to remain silent."

Liu Siyi frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why? It's already the fourth time, can't it attract the attention of the islanders?"

"Everyone has helplessness in reality." Ji Nian said.

Cheng Jue glanced at the densely written hard cover book, took a serious attitude, and asked uncertainly: "Ji Nian, you don't want to help catch the rapist, do you?"

Ji Nian continued to turn the pages, but did not answer directly, only said: "Which step counts, I will not force myself."

Cheng Jue was startled, and said, "Regardless of whether you have the ability to catch it or not, it's dangerous for you to do this alone!"

"I didn't say to do this alone." Ji Nian looked through the records with his head down, and said, "Let's go together."

Cheng Jue: "..."

"What?" Peng Manman reacted a little slower, scratched his head, and said, "Us? Is it me?"

Liu Siyi opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but in the end he couldn't help questioning, saying: "Ji Nian, this matter is not trivial, it is beyond our control... First of all, you are afraid that you will not even know how cruel the opponent you are going to face. unimaginable……"

"You may not know... what I lack most is imagination..." When Ji Nian said this, he lowered his voice thoughtfully, and just turned over the last page.

Ji Nian closed the notebook, and when he raised his head, he smiled confidently and calmly: "I may know who he is."

***

Everyone was stunned.

When Li Dongqing looked at Ji Nian, his eyes widened.

Lu Xi knocked on the table in front of Ji Nian and said, "Say it quickly."

Ji Nian grabbed Lu Xi's hand and said with a light smile, "What's the rush? I only have a general impression."

"Ji Nian, tell me about your general impression." Peng Manman said eagerly.

Ji Nian said slowly: "First..."

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited with bated breath.

"He's a man." Ji Nian said.

"Cut..." Everyone expressed disdain and contempt.

"You just said that you may know who he is." Li Dongqing was puzzled, and said, "Did one person do it all four times?"

Ji Nian let out a "hmm" and said: "That man has a relatively fixed pattern of committing crimes. He always acts on rainy nights, has a slight tendency to abuse, and has some hobbies when committing crimes. He even has similar characteristics in choosing women."

Lu Xi glanced at the hard cover book and asked, "What features?"

"Pretty, young, about 20 years old, long hair, weak temperament, three of the victims, recalled that the clothes they wore were red..." Ji Nian lowered his head, rubbed Lu Xi's hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Red arouses his libido."

"Fuck, is it real or not?" Peng Man said in disbelief, "You mean there is a beast that comes to the island every year to commit crimes of passion? How hungry and thirsty is he?"

Ji Nian shook his head and said, "That person's purpose is not purely to vent, but to commit a crime in a premeditated manner... More like, a compensatory crime."

"Compensatory?" Cheng Jue was puzzled.

"When that person commits suicide, without exception, he will turn the victim over and press him face down on the ground. This is a manifestation of his desire to control..." Ji Nian analyzed, "The targets he chooses to attack seem to be often They are all docile and weak, which exactly compensates for the powerlessness he feels in life... The feeling of power being consolidated is far better than the pleasure of venting sexual desire, which is why he has returned to this island many times , after the first successful crime, he could not resist the temptation to dominate and hurt others."

The more Li Dongqing listened, the redder her face became. Finally, she thumped the table and said, "Is the cub still on the island?"

Ji Nian firmly said: "Yes."

"Shouldn't it be, shouldn't you run away immediately if you commit a crime?" Peng Manman said, "If you want me, I will definitely buy an overnight ticket and leave here, keep it, and wait to be arrested? ...But I can't do this kind of thing , I’ll just say that casually, don’t take it seriously.”

Ji Nian explained unhurriedly: "The first time, there was only one victim, and the second time, there were two people, which means that the person became more and more courageous, because no one called the police after committing the crime, and nothing happened. flames."

"This year, he came to the island for the third time, and there will be at least one victim, no less than the previous one...He will be like a child, constantly testing the boundaries he can reach."

"If only one crime is committed this time, I think...he will return with regrets, but he will not allow such a thing to happen. After all, he has been looking forward to another half a year for this trip to the island..."

Liu Siyi rubbed his arms coldly, and said, "I didn't expect such a pervert to be hidden on the island... Then what should we do now? Ji Nian, it's the peak tourist season, there are so many people on the island, find a normal-looking pervert... It’s so difficult, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Ji Nian pulled out a map from the table, put it in front of him, slid his fingertips across a few points on the map, smiled lightly, and said, "It won't be difficult, with the work locations of the four victims, the location of the crime, plus The locations of the various hotels and B&Bs can be connected to roughly calculate the mental map of the prisoner... What we have to do is to turn the sea into a lake, and the lake into a pond, and then put in bait... Finally, wait for the fish to take the bait."

Peng Manman was a little confused when he heard it, and just wanted to make Ji Nian clearer, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Xi's blushing cheeks, staring intently at Ji Nian beside him.

Seeing Lu Xi's appearance, Peng Manman was a little surprised.

After knowing each other for so long, he has never seen Lu Xi show such... an indescribable expression.

Seeing that pair of long and narrow eyes shining with broken light at this moment, the end of the eyes is showing a thin red, when looking at the year, there is a strange sense of shyness and obsession.

Peng Manman was surprised, he arched Lu Xi beside him, and whispered: "Lu Xi? Hi! Hi! What's wrong with you?"

After Lu Xi came back to her senses, she glanced at Peng Manman, and when she realized something, she immediately lowered her head, with a bit of frustration in her expression.

"What's wrong?" Peng Manman said, "Your face is so red."

Lu Xi held back for a long time before she blushed and said in a low voice, "Da Da usually reasoning...it turns out to be like this..."

Calm and wise, kill him instantly.

It perfectly corresponds to the feeling of the protagonist in the new book "Yue Ying".

Lu Xi likes not only the protagonist of the new book, but also the protagonists in all the novels except Sui Sui.

Therefore, when Lu Xi just looked at the chronicle and analyzed the case, he had a subtle feeling of breaking the dimensional wall.

"?????" Peng Manman was confused and asked, "What? What's so big?"

Lu Xi shook her head and refused to say any more.

On the other side, Liu Siyi understood, asked Ji Nian, and said, "According to what you said, narrowing the scope can indeed be achieved, but the bait...who will be it?"

Cheng Jue also followed suit: "Yes, such a dangerous matter, which girl is willing to take the risk of luring the rapist out?"

"I thought about finding the police." Ji Nian rested his chin in one hand, thinking, "But my solution will definitely be rejected by them. After all, it is not a normal case handling process. When the police intervene in the investigation, the victim's information should not be hidden."

Li Dongqing said sullenly at the side: "Although I don't approve of my parents and my sister's actions, but in a small place like ours...it's too easy to ruin a girl with wind reviews..."

Ji Nian nodded, and said: "Most of the time, girls who are sexually assaulted are often harder to talk about than the perpetrators... Tsk... When will the public's perception improve?"

After a moment of silence at the table, Ji Nian suddenly looked at Liu Siyi and said, "Sister Siyi, why don't you give it a try? I have won the provincial taekwondo championship, so I will guarantee your safety."

"No, no, no." Liu Siyi waved his hands, and said awkwardly, "Think about it, I'm as strong as a bandit, are you sure the rapist is willing to follow me?"

Everyone: "..."

Ji Nian said: "That's right."

Liu Siyi: "...Hello."

"I don't know if other girls would be willing..." Ji Nian lowered his eyelashes, lost in thought, thinking of a suitable choice.

At this moment, Liu Siyi glanced at Lu Xi beside Ji Nian, his eyes lit up suddenly, and said, "You don't have to be a girl!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Liu Siyi.

"Think about it!" Liu Siyi expressed his opinion excitedly, "If the bait is a boy, and he looks prettier than a girl, wouldn't he be able to play tricks and keep himself safe?"

"Which boy is prettier than a girl?" Cheng Jue didn't realize it for a moment.

Liu Siyi stared at Lu Xi with burning eyes.

Gradually, Ji Nian realized something.

He glanced at Lu Xi aside, then at Liu Siyi, squinted his eyes, and said coldly, "Don't think about it."
