Chasing the Mist

After confirming that the ice sculpture case was a serial murder case, the police invested twice as much police force in the case. Police guarded every intersection and public places, which virtually made it more difficult for the murderer to commit another crime.

The police rushed to the playground. The blizzard had just fallen for more than an hour, which was a good time to release the corpse. When Tianming found the ice sculpture of a human head, the footprints had already been covered by heavy snow. He had to run away immediately. With the murderer's IQ, he would definitely not run away desperately. There are many facilities in the playground, and some places are very suitable for hiding. Even if the police search the playground, it is inevitable that some small places will be exposed.

On a snowy night in the early morning, the amusement park was quiet and silent. The police were concentrating on investigating the case against the severe cold, and the radio suddenly blared music. In this case, according to the police's thinking, they must go to the studio to find out. After a while, hide again or leave the scene.

"The murderer may be hiding in the playground. Light up all the lights in the playground, and immediately start a search with the ice sculpture of a human head as the center point." After Gu Xun finished speaking, the police officers at the scene scattered with a "boom" and searched around.

In an instant, the lights of the playground were all lit up, like fireworks blooming in the night, and the bright gray daylight in the early morning was completely lit up. The heavy snow was thrown down, and there were creaking and squeaking snow everywhere inside and outside the playground. It will soon become a 3D three-dimensional version of the snowman.

The police searched all places where people could hide, such as adventure houses and labyrinths. Outside the playground, figures in uniforms could be seen everywhere in the vast snow.

Zheng Tiancheng ran over panting, shaking his head, "Boss, I didn't find anything outside the playground. I searched all the facilities in the playground that could hide people, but there was nothing."

Gu Xun looked at his frozen red nose, and at the time, "Take it."

On the way back to the city, the inside of the police car was unusually quiet. The last time he was the closest to the murderer, he actually let him slip away. Gu Xun closed his eyes and leaned his head against the car window, his face colder than winter.

Meng Jia poked him cautiously, "I went to the monitoring room to check. After Zheng Yi in the studio got off work at [-]:[-] p.m., no one came in again, and no abnormalities were found in other monitoring."

There is no one in the studio, but the music can be played at the right time. Is it true that the victim came back to claim his life, as the janitor said?He should seek the murderer instead of the police. I don’t know why these absurd thoughts came up. Gu Xun smiled slightly, opened his eyes, sat up straight, "This Zheng Yi should investigate carefully."

Meng Jia nodded, and said: "There are no paths near the playground, and there are no footprints in the snow. There is no suspicious person in the surveillance area. How did he come in? Could it be Feifei?"

Zheng Tiancheng: "Not only that, this time the head of the ice sculpture was not made up, and what was left at the scene was not clothes... It was the chest of the deceased... What a fucking pervert."

Gu Xun opened a gap in the car window, held a cigarette between his fingers, and wanted to light it. Seeing the pouting Meng Jia, he took back the cigarette and closed the car window.

Meng Jia immediately beamed with joy, "Boss, smoking is harmful to your health, quit it."

Zheng Tiancheng snickered: "Boss quits eating, and he can't quit smoking. It's his spiritual food. He can't think without smoking."

Gu Xun kicked the front seat, "Jiajia hates men who talk too much, please be quiet."

Meng Jia:? ? ?

Zheng Tiancheng peeked at Meng Jia, and shut up resentfully.

The atmosphere in the car became a little more active, and Gu Xun said: "After the playground closed, he might not come out until the music started, so he escaped in a panic. There are few tourists coming to the playground this season. Check the list one by one."

Zheng Tiancheng frowned, "The police force outside the venue has just been withdrawn, even if he escaped from the venue last night, he couldn't escape from the outside, but we searched the playground and found nothing, could it be that he grew wings and flew? It’s a doubt, why did the relics left at the second scene change?”

Lin Yiran, who didn't speak all the way, suddenly said: "Casting has turned into enjoyment, and clothes can no longer satisfy him. The panic caused by leaving the dead's organs is far more exciting than clothes."

Zheng Tiancheng: "Based on what you're saying, isn't it crazier every time? This case is different from the previous two. Will someone imitate the crime?"

"Only our insiders know about the socks left in the Gu Jingjing case. If we imitate the crime, it means that we have an inner ghost." When Gu Xun said this, everyone in the car looked at each other, no one dared to answer, paused, and then said : "It's not like committing a crime by imitation, but rather like being ill-prepared and hasty."

Meng Jia was typing with a laptop on her lap. After a while, she looked up, "The victim's information has been sent...it's a little different from the previous two times."

All of a sudden, everyone in the car pricked up their ears and listened.

"Victim Feng Meng, a native of this city, female, 29 years old, married, childless, professional nurse. Her father runs a restaurant with good financial conditions. Her husband is a civil aviation pilot and is often away from home. She suddenly disappeared a week ago and was found at home. If there is something wrong, report to the police immediately, and the current information is only this, and the specific situation will be known after the visit."

Zheng Tiancheng slapped his knee with a wide palm, and turned his head, "Boss, this case is definitely not the same murderer as the previous two cases. Feng Meng disappeared a week ago, and the ice sculpture of a human head only appeared now, which obviously does not match the previous two cases. If the relics at the scene can be explained, then how to explain the sudden change of the target of the victim into a rich young woman? The previous reasoning about the murderer’s target is completely inconsistent with this case.”

The car fell into silence again. Judging from the previous two cases, the purpose of the murderer's crimes was to reveal the true face of those women's duplicity. Using money as bait to lure the female students into the bait was just a means to achieve the goal.

There are tens of thousands of means for one goal. Zheng Tiancheng's conclusion is premature. Lin Yiran opened his mouth first: "His target is a woman who is not what he looks like. Occupation and age are not that important to him. Can the previous reasoning continue?" Established, Feng Meng will naturally know after the investigation, so don't be impatient."

Zheng Tiancheng was dumbfounded for a while, and he was unwilling to be taken over by the newcomer in front of the girl he liked. He was silent for two seconds, and said, "Murderous crimes come out one after another... Who can be impatient? Boss is about to smoke instead of eating recently."

Hearing this, Lin Yeran glanced at the seat next to him, Gu Xun lowered his head slightly, pinching a pack of cigarettes with his thumb and forefinger, rolling back and forth, wondering what he was thinking, his face was thin, his jaw was tight without any trace of fat, his pupils were pitch black, and the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned The naughty smile is not a smile, in fact, he doesn't like to laugh, every time he smiles, the corners of his mouth only draw a little curve, but that smirk is the most charming.

Lin Yiran's Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Xun any more. He turned his head and looked out the window. The heavy snow fell, but it couldn't cool down his hot heart.

Among the three victims, the Wu family had the best financial conditions, but the Wu family's parents caused the police the most headaches.

"What's the matter with only the head? Feng Meng like this can't enter the ancestral grave, he's a lonely ghost outside, and he's the first to come to you..." Wu's mother was carrying a small bag, wearing fur, and opened her mouth wide to cry, without shedding a tear for a long time , Crying and crying, he suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed to the nose of the policeman on duty.

Gu Xun stepped forward, grabbed Wu's mother's wrist, pressed it down, and slammed it violently, "Lonely ghost? Tell her to come to me tonight and tell me about the murder process."

This man didn't wear a police uniform, his tone was bad, and there was a stern look in his eyes, completely different from the policeman who received Wu's mother, "You... who are you?"

The policeman explained: "This is Captain Gu, the person in charge of your daughter's case."

Mother Feng curled her lips and said in disbelief, "He's a policeman? He's still a leader?" After a pause, she shouted again: "A leader can kill anyone at will? I'm going to sue you, what a shitty policeman."

"Call 12389, I'll listen to your complaint."

Mother Feng's face was extremely ugly, she pursed her mouth at Father Wu, and sniffed aggrievedly: "How can there be such a policeman, it's unlucky to die without a whole body, I'm also doing it for Xiaomeng."

Gu Xun sneered: "My friendliness is only for normal people. If you want to be respected, please be normal first. Don't act here and interfere with official duties." After saying that, he walked out with long legs.

Meng Jia caught up with a stack of documents, "Boss, Feng Mengsheng's mother died early. That woman, Feng Meng's stepmother, was originally a dishwashing worker in Feng's restaurant. Later, she took down Feng's father with a clever mouth. She has a The daughter, who is 21 years old, also lives with them."

Gu Xun clicked his tongue, "The acting is too bad."

"I think Feng Meng's father is very fond of her style... a bit superstitious."

Gu Xun nodded, "Come on, let's go to Feng Meng's house."

The Haoyue community where Feng Mengjia lives is located in the center of the city, a well-known high-end community in Baicheng. This snowstorm has dyed the garden and lawn of the community white, and high-rise buildings stand among the white.

Meng Jia knocked on the door. After a while, Feng Meng's husband Jin Zi came out to answer the door. He was wearing pajamas and his hair was wet. He asked, "Police?"

Meng Jia showed her ID, "Come to know something about Feng Meng."

Jin Zi opened the door, "Come in, please. I just got off work, and I'm going home, changing clothes, and going to the police station...You guys are very fast."

When passing by his side, Lin Yiran smelled the strong aroma of body wash, and turned his head to look at him. The last button of the pajamas was misplaced, the slippers under his feet were of different styles, and the fine sweat on his forehead was mixed with drops of hair. Going further inside, the sofa in the living room A pretty girl is sitting.

The girl was wearing a long skirt, her hair was dripping wet, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Seeing Gu Xun and the others gradually approaching the living room, she got up and walked into the bathroom to make room for the sofa.

Lin Yiran looked at the girl's dripping long hair, and at Jin Zi's hair. It seemed that the arrival of the police shattered a dream.

Jin Zi met Shanglin Yiran's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and raised his chin towards the girl, "My sister-in-law Wang Yiting is now an intern in our unit, and she is a little girl far away from her unit. My mother-in-law is afraid that it will be unsafe, so let her stay temporarily for a while. my home."

The wet hair of the two caught everyone's attention, and Zheng Tiancheng smiled meaningfully: "Your sister just took a bath?"

Jin Zi's expression was uglier than eating bitter gourd, and the smile on her mouth gradually stiffened, "She only washed her hair... There are two bathrooms in the house, and I take a shower in the bathroom of the master bedroom."

There is no pale explanation of 300 taels of silver here, Zheng Tiancheng smiled and did not speak again.

Gu Xun looked around, the room was about 160 square meters, decorated in a Nordic style, with various styles of bags and high-heeled shoes in the cloakroom, and various group photos of Feng Meng and Jin Zi on the photo wall from childhood to marriage, it seemed that every year Zhang, forming love footprints.

There were not many things in Wang Yiting's room, but it was neat and orderly, and no suspicious items were found.

Gu Xun's gaze finally fell on Jin Zi, "Has Feng Meng behaved abnormally lately?"

Jin Zi thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Has she had plastic surgery?"

"In September last year, she had her double eyelids cut. The first few days were swollen and ugly."

"Which hospital?"

"I don't know about it. I'll call and ask her best friend."

"No, tell us her girlfriend's phone address."

For the next question, Jin Zi didn't know anything about it, and his understanding of his wife's life was almost zero. It was hard to believe that they had been together for more than ten years.

Jin Zi never asked about Feng Meng's murder, nor did he show pain, as if Feng Meng had nothing to do with him.

After leaving Feng's house, Zheng Tiancheng immediately said: "This Jin Zi is abnormally calm, it seems that someone else's wife died, and Wang Yiting, who obviously had an affair with her brother-in-law... This family is too chaotic."

Meng Jia: "Could it be that her husband, sister, and stepmother jointly killed Feng Meng and then pretended to be an ice sculpture case?"

Gu Xun stopped in his tracks, instead of reasoning wildly with them, he said calmly: "Now the soldiers are divided into two groups, leaving two people to go to the property to check Feng Meng's whereabouts the day before he disappeared, and the other two to see Feng Meng's best friend."

Zheng Tiancheng pretended to be weak, "Boss, I have hypoglycemia, and I can't do without Jiajia."

Gu Xun: "Meng Jia is medicine? Can it cure hypoglycemia?"

"She is my source of sugar. Without Jia Jia, my world would no longer be sweet."

Meng Jia blushed, pushed Zheng Tiancheng, and drew the end of the voice: "If you talk nonsense, I will ignore you."

Gu Xun smiled lightly, patted Lin Yiran on the shoulder naturally, "Let's go."

Lin Yiran froze for a moment, turned his head and looked down at his shoulders, Gu Xun's palm temperature melted a small piece of thin snow on his shoulders, leaving light palm prints, he followed Gu Xun's footsteps and walked to the parking lot, getting more and more annoyed as he walked, his face sank car.

Emotions are easy to affect each other. Gu Xun saw that he was gloomy, and he was also inexplicably irritable. He turned left suddenly and turned into a small alley, turned off the engine, locked the car door, and lit a cigarette. "What did I provoke you? Let's make it clear today. "

Lin Yiran took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and restrained his emotions.

Gu Xun put his hands on the steering wheel, looked ahead indifferently, and while breathing out smoke, he said: "I have a clear conscience all these years, and it was the year when the old man passed away. I was too busy and neglected you for a while, brother, this matter As for holding grudges for so long?"

The snow in Lin Yiran's heart was so deep that spring couldn't melt it, so he closed his eyes and didn't speak.

"Back then, Dr. Yang said that you might have a big change in temperament, or you might have deviations in certain cognitions. I understand this, but it has been 12 years, and life must always look forward."

Lin Yiran couldn't push the door, so he said coldly, "Open the door."

Every time he didn't speak, got out of the car and walked on his own, without any innovation, with that unflattering look, Gu Xun wanted to punch him, but he didn't punch him, and suddenly his anger disappeared, he ignored him, and drove directly to the main road .

Feng Meng's best friend is also a nurse. She works in a maternal and child health care hospital. When she was approaching her destination, Gu Xun accidentally caught a glimpse of a McDonald's shop on the side of the road. Zhuo Xue bought back two cones and handed them to Lin Yiran without saying a word.

Lin Yiran looked at the heavy snow outside the window and at the cone in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Captain Gu, do you want to freeze me to death?"

Gu Xun said angrily, "I don't like it, so I opened the window and threw it away."

Lin Yiran: "..."

He bowed his head and ate, a little sweet.
