Chasing the Mist

Chapter 21 Ice Sculpture Case (20)

After a busy day, it was early in the morning when we arrived downstairs. The corridor lights in the corridor were in disrepair for a long time. Gu Xun and Lin Yiran stepped into the third floor one after another. Under the flickering lights, there was a faint figure curled up at the door .

Gu Xun stopped and waved his hand to signal Lin Yiran to lean back. He checked the flashlight of his mobile phone, and while lighting it up, he groped for it.

There is a person at the door of Guangguang Zhong's house. The person sits on the ground with his hands folded around his knees, his head buried between his legs, his loose long hair falling down, and he remains motionless.

After confirming the woman, Gu Xun put down his gun and asked, "Who?"

There was no movement by the door.

Gu Xun strode over, raised the woman's head, and tried to breathe, but unexpectedly the woman was Wu Shanshan.

She smelled of alcohol, her eye makeup was stained with tears, her lipstick rubbed onto her cheeks, her eyes narrowed slightly, and when she saw Gu Xun reaching out to touch his face, she murmured in a low voice, "You are finally willing to see me."

Gu Xun hastily turned sideways to dodge, with his eyebrows pressed together, he said helplessly, "What are you doing here? Quickly call Zhang Yanchen and ask him to come pick you up."

.

"No!" Wu Shanshan said firmly, "I don't see him, I hate him, I just miss you." She laughed nympho, "I like Gu Xun."

Lin Yiran glanced at Gu Xun coldly, twisted the lock and opened the door, and said angrily, "Help her in first, don't disturb the people."

In the middle of the night, it was really wrong to wake others up. He helplessly helped Wu Shanshan into the room, pointed to the bench, and said, "Sit down."

Wu Shanshan tugged at him and refused to let go, "I won't sit down, and you will leave after sitting down."

The woman became crazy about drinking, she couldn't get enough daily necessities, and couldn't communicate, so Gu Xun sighed, "Give me the phone?"

Wu Shanshan shook her head like a rattle, "If I don't go home, I will stay at your house."

She didn't have a backpack, so Gu Xun couldn't search her for her phone, let alone beat and scold her, so she was in a dilemma.

Lin Yiran leaned on the door frame of the bedroom and watched coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he was watching the excitement. After watching it for a while, he took his mobile phone and called Wu Qing, "Your sister is pestering my brother at my house to get drunk, hurry up and pick him up."

Hearing him say brother, Gu Xun was startled, a slight warm current surged into his heart, in a trance, he seemed to see the child who was sticking to his back.

"Bang" Lin Yiran closed the door, disappeared before Gu Xun's eyes, and at the same time closed the door of memories.

Gu Xun took a deep breath and said a few words patiently before Wu Shanshan sat on the bench obediently.

Seeing Gu Xun sitting at a distance from her, the smirk on her face turned into a storm, and she cried and complained, "Zhang Yanchen has another woman outside...he's taking revenge on me...asshole...Gu Xun, if We didn't separate at that time, you will not betray me, right?"

Gu Xun handed her a tissue, said nothing, raised his head and closed his eyes, and waited quietly for someone from the Wu family to come. He was overworked these days, and fell asleep in a daze. In his sleep, he felt someone touch his face. He stood up in a jerk and jumped onto the bench. Opposite, "What are you doing?"

Wu Shanshan felt aggrieved, "I want...to kiss you."

Lin Yiran came out to wash up, and happened to come across this scene, stepped forward and pulled Gu Xun's clothes, pulled hard towards the room, pushed hard at the door, and said impatiently: "Go in and sleep, I'll wait outside."

He took out the book, sat on the other end of the bench, and read with his head down, thinking that Wu Shanshan was nothing but air.

Wu Shanshan was very interested in seeing him, wiped away tears, kicked him with her toes, and said with a smile, "Yo! The little pervert has grown up to such a size, and he is quite handsome, what a pity."

When she said this, her words were correct, her eyes were clear, and her mouth was especially sneering, she didn't look like a drunk person at all.

"Going crazy after drinking is useless to my brother, don't waste time." Lin Yiran continued to read with his head down.

The sarcasm in Wu Shanshan's eyes turned to anger, she pulled out the book in his hand and threw it aside, "It's because of you that we broke up, pervert...disgusting."

Lin Yiran didn't care about her rude language, but instead thought that they broke up because Gu Xun was busy with work?Why is it because of him again?Just as he was wondering, and was about to ask, the doorbell rang, and it was Zhang Yanchen who came in.

Lin Yiran opened the door, pointed to the bench expressionlessly, "Hurry up and take it away."

Zhang Yanchen's trousers were straight, his leather shoes were shiny, and there was no trace of anger on his face. He said gently and politely, "I've caused you trouble. Where's Captain Gu? Apologize to him for me."

"If you have time to apologize, why don't you think about how to deal with internal conflicts and make less trouble for others."

"Shanshan is a person who always likes to look back on the past when encountering difficulties. Your brother is her first love. When she is unhappy, she will inevitably have the idea of ​​rekindling her old relationship. In fact, they are not suitable. Shanshan is stubborn and doesn't understand this. I will teach her slowly when I go back. ,I'm leaving."

Zhang Yanchen's tone of voice, speed of speech, and demeanor resembled Lu Youming's strangely. People would believe that they were brothers.

After the people left, Lin Yiran opened the door to let out the smell of alcohol in the room for a while, took a cup of hot water and put it on the coffee table, when the hot water became cold, he fell asleep unknowingly, and faintly heard a rustling sound, he narrowed his eyes slightly .

Gu Xun's bedroom door was wide open, half dressed, and hurried out.

Lin Yiran rubbed his eyes and sat up straight, only to realize that at some point there was an extra piece of Gu Xun's clothes on his body. He tore off the clothes and held them in his hands, "What's wrong?"

While putting on his shoes, Gu Xun said, "It's snowing, and there is a sudden heavy snowfall tonight."

Lin Yiran subconsciously looked out the window, the goose feather snow was falling slowly under the street lamps, and he lost all sleepiness at once, pulled off his clothes and went out with Gu Xun.

The snow came suddenly, and the amount of snowfall was heavy. In less than an hour, the road was covered with a layer of snow, and the snowplow was roaring. At a red light, Gu Xun stopped. Looking at the snowflakes flying outside the car window, he turned his head and said Say "thank you".

Lin Yiran was slightly stunned, and raised his eyes to meet his gaze. The moment their eyes collided, Gu Xun hurriedly lowered his head and looked through the smoke, but couldn't find it after searching.

The corners of Lin Yiran's eyes curled up, and he pulled his lips and smiled lightly, "Captain Gu, the cigarette is in your pocket."

Gu Xun: "..."

All the criminal investigation team members returned to the police station, patrolling the squares, parks, and scenic spots, patrolling vigorously, and checking the vehicles passing through the intersections.

Gu Xun stood in front of the map of Baicheng and stared. The Ice and Snow World is located in the eastern suburbs, and Beining Park is located in the north. The new plan has not been a few years old, and it used to be a suburb.

Excluding the east and north orientations, the south is relatively backward. There is only People’s Square in the public space, and there is an amusement park in the west. Affected by the weather, only a small number of facilities in the amusement park are open in winter.

The terrain of the square is flat, without fences and trees, and there are many surveillance cameras on the surrounding roads. In contrast, the playground is more suitable for crime scenes.

The Baicheng Playground is also built in the outskirts, and the surrounding environment is similar to that of the Ice and Snow World. Gu Xun tapped the location of the playground on the map, "Notify the Changning District Bureau immediately, the police force will focus on the vicinity of the Baicheng Playground, don't miss anyone corner."

Meng Jia stood behind Gu Xun, not daring to speak out, and waited for Gu Xun's order to be implemented before speaking: "Li Shengzhou and Zhang Xiaoqing didn't know each other. During the few days when Zhang Xiaoqing was killed, he stayed in the dormitory, and his roommates and classmates testified...His suspicion is basic. It can be ruled out." After a moment's pause, she hesitated to speak.

Gu Xun frowned, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Li Shengzhou and Jiang Chen have been ruled out, boss, we are back to the original point."

Gu Xun nodded, "Don't worry, go ahead."

Meng Jia retreated to her station, her eyes still fixed on Gu Xun. After investigating the case for so long, she returned to the original point twice in a row. Human shoulders seem to be harder than steel, and they can always carry a mountain quietly.

While she was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by Zheng Tiancheng's clear voice, "Boss, we are one step too late, he committed another crime."

As soon as these words came out, the office was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and everyone ran downstairs with Gu Xun.

On the way, Zheng Tiancheng said angrily: "Damn it, it's only one step away. The police force from the Changning Branch rushed to the playground and first surrounded the perimeter, but the playground is too big, and the snow is deep and the road is difficult to walk. It will take some time to arrange the perimeter." Time, when they enter the playground, the ice sculpture of a human head is already there."

Meng Jia: "It started to snow in the middle of the night tonight. Let's arrange for the police to come over as soon as possible. The corpse must not dare to go through the main entrance. The time it takes to climb the fence in the snow is twice as slow as going through the main entrance. The time is so tight, how could he do it?" To commit crimes before us?"

Meng Jia's words awakened Gu Xun, "The murderer may still be near the crime scene, hurry up."

The police car drove wildly on the empty road. When we arrived at the playground in the western suburbs, it was already daylight, and the snow was still falling wantonly. From the entrance to the ice sculpture, in just 5 minutes, everyone's hair was dyed white.

The amusement park is dominated by gray and white in winter, which is a bit lonely compared to the splendor in summer. The ice sculptures of human heads are located on the double seats of the carousel, facing north.

Lin Yiran looked around. Baicheng Amusement Park was divided into different areas according to different themes. The carousel was in the Love Paradise Park. If the murderer had seen his lover betray him outside the ice and snow world, what would the location of the latter two cases mean?

Ice and Snow World, Beining Park, and Amusement Park, the three places where the crimes took place are all public places, and they are also dating spots for couples. While he vents, he is also recalling, revisiting the good times in the past, but there are so many people who have been to these few places. There are countless couples dating here, and finding him among them is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Lin Yiran sighed, raised his feet and was about to leave, when music suddenly sounded on the playground radio, "I forgot the sadness of running in place, and I also forgot that I was locked forever, no matter how long I can be with you, At least it can make you fantasize about flying with me..."

Faye Wong's ethereal voice spreads infinitely in the snowy night, like a vine that penetrates the skin through the pores, climbs into the internal organs, and wraps the heart with a layer of snow.

Gu Xun felt a sudden chill on his back, and immediately reacted, turned his head and ran towards the broadcasting room.

The music sounded suddenly, and for a moment, the police officers at the scene seemed to be frozen. Hearing the sound of Gu Xun's footsteps, they came out of the surprise brought by the music and followed.

The man on duty at the amusement park was terrified, handed the key to the policeman with trembling hands, and muttered in a low voice: "Xiao Zheng in the studio left work early, why is there music playing? That girl must have come back to claim her life."

Gu Xun gave Zheng Tiancheng a look.

Zheng Tiancheng immediately arranged for someone to accompany the old man, and the others followed Gu Xun upstairs. They walked as quietly as the wind, they couldn't hear the slightest footsteps, and there was a faint light from the crack in the door of the broadcasting room.

The door opened quietly, and the [-]-square-meter hut can be seen at a glance. The computer screen is on, and the music software plays "Rotary Wood" in a loop. There is no one in the house. Gu Xun retracts his gun and walks into the house. It was neatly arranged, and it was obvious that no one had entered the studio.

Gu Xun remembered something, paused, and ran out, and the others hurriedly followed.

Zheng Tiancheng didn't know why, and asked while running: "What's wrong, boss?"

"We've got it."
