Mystery Tracker 2

Because it was too late for an on-site autopsy, Jiang Ruiheng and Wang Zijie only carried out some necessary preliminary examination and records on the corpse, then put the corpse in a bag and carried it to the car.However, they can leave, and the four in serious cases and forensics cannot leave, because they still have another important task-to track down the murderer.Although the murderer has been running away for more than two hours, and there is little hope of catching anyone today, the murderer must have left some traces that can be traced when he escaped. If we follow these traces, even if we cannot catch him immediately, At least some useful clues can be obtained.

"Judging from the scene, when the suspect fought with the deceased, he should have stepped on the blood of the deceased," Cheng Jinsong said, holding a watering can and spraying some luminol solution on the road, and then both he and Li Jiayu put on glasses, and soon Quickly, some faint blue fluorescence appeared in sight.

"That's where the murderer is going." Cheng Jinsong raised his finger to the north.

Shen Yan raised his eyes - the north of this road is the direction leading to the woods.It seemed that the two eyewitnesses were right, the man they saw was the murderer.

Several people followed the bloodstains for more than 20 steps, and there was no trace of bloodstains on the ground anymore.But at this moment, several people were already standing on the edge of the grove, and the murderer must have run into it.Cheng Jinsong and Li Jiayu took off their glasses and walked into the woods with Shen Yan and Jiang Li.

Entering the small woods, the touch under the feet immediately becomes different-this is actually more beneficial for tracking, because compared with the hard concrete ground, the road surface of the woods is easier to leave footprints.Each of the four held a flashlight and carefully observed the ground.There should not be many people walking around in this small forest on weekdays, and the soil has not been trampled very tightly, so the few people quickly found a few incomplete shoe prints. Following these intermittent shoe prints, four The people walked all the way to a small road outside the northwest side of the woods, but here, they lost the trace of the murderer again.The four separately inquired about many people in the vicinity, but no one saw anyone who matched the characteristics of the murderer's clothes coming out of the woods.

"It's strange, no one has seen it before, how could this person disappear out of thin air?!" Li Jiayu said in disbelief.

"This road is too quiet, and it's normal that there are few witnesses." Cheng Jinsong said, "This road is too narrow for cars to pass. Except for some people who want to take a shortcut and cross the railway tracks, most people don't know how to go here."

"Besides, the murderer may have changed his outfit during his escape." Jiang Li also said, "Take off your shirt and hat, and you may change into a different look."

"Twice killed, no one noticed when he escaped, is this guy so lucky?!"

"Once may be luck, but twice is definitely not." Shen Yan said, with a rare seriousness between his brows, "The suspect this time is definitely an extremely cunning murderer."

8 month 2 day.

The initial examination of the corpse quickly yielded results. According to forensic identification, the murderer's gun hit the deceased's liver, causing acute internal bleeding.Then the deceased fell into the water again, and the gun injury affected his mobility, and finally the deceased drowned due to exhaustion.The mud between the nails of the deceased was obviously less than that of a normal drowning person, and the edema of his lungs was also weaker than normal. These are enough to show that the previous gun did indeed cause serious injuries to him, affecting his ability to survive in the water. Activities and self-help.In addition, the comparison results of the Zi bombs came out very quickly. As everyone expected, this steel ball is exactly the same as the steel ball that killed Berland in terms of diameter and composition.So far, the serious crime team has been able to determine that the murderer in the two cases is the same person.

At the same time, the identity of the second deceased was quickly investigated. The name of the deceased was Samuel Gerard. Samuel Gerard, male, 27 years old, French, was a French foreign teacher in an international school.According to the principal of the international school, Gerrard joined the school to teach in September last year and was mainly responsible for the work of foreign teachers in two French classes.He is single and rents a house near the school by himself.According to a colleague who is more familiar with Gerald, the place where Gerald lives is on the south side of the crime scene, and not far south of the crime scene is a commercial center, where Gerald often goes to eat, Shopping and fitness.The serious crime team went to the commercial center to investigate, and finally confirmed that Gerald had indeed exercised in a fitness club there that night.

"It's a Frenchman again, and he was killed after working out—is the murderer having a grudge against the French or the person who worked out?!" Cheng Haiyang looked at the information and couldn't help frowning.

"There are indeed too many similarities between the deceased in these two cases," Shen Yan said, with a serious face as usual in his work, "If we can find out what prompted the murderer to commit the crime, we are close to catching this person." Not far away."

When the serious crime team and the forensic team were trying to solve the case, there was another person who was trying to solve a mystery, and that was Li Jiayu's mother.Last night, Mother Li saw her son eating with Jiang Ruiheng at the roadside stall downstairs of her house. While talking, she accidentally noticed that the bracelet Jiang Ruiheng was wearing was exactly the same as her son's!Mother Li clearly remembered that her son said he bought the bracelet with his girlfriend, and Mother Li once saw a photo of the two wearing the bracelet and holding hands in her son's mobile phone.Why does Jiang Ruiheng have one in his hand?Could it be that Xiao Jiang was there when they bought that thing?But even here, if a young couple buys something, Xiao Jiang, a big guy, won't be annoying and buy it too, right? ...Moreover, Mother Li later saw her son Jiayu tugging on the piece on his wrist. Could it be that the piece belonged to the girl?That girl changed her mind, so she gave that thing to Xiao Jiang?But it's not like that either!If that's the case, Jiayu won't have to fight Xiao Jiang?But the two watched talking and laughing! ...

Mother Li made many kinds of assumptions in her mind, but each of them had something unreasonable.She wanted to ask Jiayu what happened, but she didn't want another case to come from the police station before she even asked, and then Jiayu ran out like burning her butt.Mother Li kept her words in her stomach all night, and she didn't sleep well.So much so that when she went to work the next morning, her colleagues in the same room noticed something wrong at a glance.

"Hey, Sister Xu, what's the matter with you? You have such heavy dark circles, didn't you sleep well last night?" A female colleague of a similar age in the same room asked with concern.

"Oh, wait for my son." Mother Li replied pretending to be indifferent, "They had another case last night, and they went out all night and didn't come back."

"Yes?" Colleagues knew that Li's mother's son was a police officer of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Hearing what Li's mother said, he felt gossipy, "What big case happened again?"

"I don't know, they have rules, they can't tell, and I never ask." Li's mother replied.

"Sister Xu, your son is really outstanding. He has solved so many big cases at a young age." The man continued to say admiringly, "Look at my bastard, he hasn't found a job since he graduated from college!"

"Aunt Xu's son is not only good at his job, he's also very handsome!" Another younger girl said, "Last time I read a photo of Aunt Xu's son in the newspaper, he looks so handsome!"

Li Jiayu has always been the pride of Li's mother. In the past, Li's mother was so happy when she heard others praise her son like this.But today, Mother Li had something on her mind, so she just smiled cooperatively and didn't answer much.Seeing that these two people were still talking, Mother Li felt annoyed, said "I'll go to the cafeteria to see", got up and went out.

S City Conservatory of Music is located in the center of Chengbei District. Although it occupies a small area, it is well-known in S City.It is the only music university in S city—or even in the Northeast region—with more than ten departments of vocal music, orchestra, and piano.Today, the S City Conservatory of Music has established three new campuses in other cities in the province. However, the old campus located in the North District of S City is still the core of the school. This is also the place where Li's mother, Xu Yunying, has worked for more than 3 years.Xu Yunying was born in a small county with low education and never went to college. However, relying on her solid master's degree and excellent ability, she worked from a cleaning worker to the deputy director of the logistics department, focusing on canteen management.The one large, two small and three canteens in Chengbei Campus of the Conservatory of Music are all managed by her.

It was 09:30 in the morning when Xu Yunying walked into No. [-] cafeteria (the largest cafeteria). Breakfast was over at [-]:[-] in the morning, and all the follow-up cleaning and tidying work had been completed at this moment.The chefs in the back kitchen are cleaning vegetables and processing meat and eggs, preparing dishes for lunch later.Xu Yunying looked at the dishes in the back kitchen, told the workers to pay attention to food hygiene, and then turned to the restaurant lobby in front.

The lobby has also been cleaned up, and all the tables, chairs, and dining tables have been wiped out.Because the dishes have not started yet, there is no work here for the time being.As soon as Xu Yunying came in, she saw a few older food handlers sitting together and chatting, while the two youngest girls were looking at their mobile phones together, pointing at the screen while watching , with a look of excitement.

Because the main object of the cafeteria service is students, over the years, Xu Yunying has developed the habit of dealing with young people.Seeing these two little girls who were about the same age as the students were watching so enthusiastically, Xu Yunying couldn't help but walked over: "What are you two looking at here, Le Cheng looks like this?"

"Ah, Aunt Xu!" The two little girls came to their senses and put down their phones quickly.Xu Yunying glanced subconsciously, but saw a group of familiar colors - on the screen of the mobile phone, a group of foreigners seemed to be having a carnival, and many of them were waving flags in colors like rainbows.The color was so familiar that Xu Yunying immediately thought of her son's colorful bracelet.

"This..." Xu Yunying couldn't help but wanted to take a closer look at the little girl's mobile phone, but the little girl withdrew her hand nervously, "Ah, Aunt Xu..."

"What's wrong?" Xu Yunying raised her eyes and said with a smile, "What secrets can't you let me see?"

"No." The two little girls looked at each other, as if a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid you won't like this thing, Aunt Xu..."

"Huh? I don't like what? Aunt Xu, I'm not that feudal, right?" Xu Yunying said, "Besides, it looks familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere..."

Hearing what Xu Yunying said, the two little girls looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter at the same time.The little girl holding the phone said, "Aunt Xu, I'm afraid you haven't seen this before. This is a photo of a foreign gay parade."

"Homosexuality?!" Xu Yunying never expected the girl to say this word, and was shocked for a moment.

"Yes." Now that she opened her mouth, the little girl decided to make it clear.She handed the phone to Xu Yunying and explained: "This is a photo of the European Gay Parade. Look at the flag they waved. It's called the rainbow flag. It's their symbol. Those European countries hold this event every August." , people all over the country will go to see it, but it's so lively!..."

"Ah? How dare they do this?!" An older waiter next to him couldn't help frowning, "These foreigners are really not afraid of shame..."

"Hey, Aunt Deng, this is your old brain!" Another little girl said, "Love is gender-neutral, and gays can get married in many places abroad, including Britain and the United States! A minister in Germany is married to his boyfriend!"

"What? Can the two men still get married? Oh my god, this world..."

Xu Yunying didn't hear what these people were talking about afterwards.Her mind has been stunned by the little girl's words just now - gay?The rainbow flag is a sign of "gay"? ! ...

Well, then my son's bracelet...

Xu Yunying couldn't remember how she walked back to the office. The colorful flag and her son's colorful bracelet repeatedly appeared in her mind.She has seen the bracelet of her son, and she remembers the colorful colors very clearly.But how did it become... the symbol of what?Could it be that my son...

no, I can not!I must have read it wrong!Rainbows are not rare things, they are just similar, and besides, I didn't see clearly just now...

Xu Yunying eagerly wanted to find out the difference between the two to dispel her worries, but she just glanced at the photo just now, and she didn't see exactly what the flag looked like.The more Xu Yunying thought about it, the more she couldn't remember it. Seeing that there was no one else in the office at the moment, she gritted her teeth, quickly turned on the computer, and with trembling fingers, entered the word "homosexuality" in the search bar.

Because the parade is popular recently, Baidu automatically gave relevant entries. Xu Yunying clicked on it, and immediately, many related photos popped up. Xu Yunying clicked on a few randomly, and each photo had a rainbow flag on it. figure.Xu Yunying identified it carefully, red orange yellow green blue purple, colorful.The only difference is that its colors are arranged horizontally, while on the son's bracelet, several colors are arranged diagonally and parallel.Such a significant difference made her feel a little more at ease, but at this moment she saw the explanation entry for "Rainbow Flag"——

"A rainbow flag is a multicolored flag using the primary hues of the rainbow. There are many varieties of rainbow flags in use today, the most famous of which is probably the flag representing 'gay pride.' This rainbow flag consists of 'red orange yellow Green, blue and purple' consists of six colors, which are significantly different from the general seven-color rainbow of 'red, orange, yellow, green, indigo and purple'.

Six colors? !

What color is my son's bracelet? ...

Xu Yunying tried hard to recall, but found in a panic that she had no memory at all.She was anxious, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles, and finally decided to go home to see what happened.

Xu Yunying got up and was about to go out, when a colleague walked in from outside the house, "Eh? Sister Xu, you want to go out?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry at home. I'll be back after a while." Xu Yunying explained hastily, without slowing down at all. Sitting in the taxi, Xu Yunying was distraught all the way.She kept telling herself that she must be fine, that she must be thinking too much, but there was always a voice floating faintly from some corner—what if that was the case...

No!Certainly not! ! ...

The car finally drove downstairs, Xu Yunying paid the money, and ran upstairs quickly.Opening the door and entering the house, my wife was taken aback by her agitated appearance: "What's wrong? Why did you come back suddenly?"

"I have something to do." Mother Li didn't bother to explain, and rushed into Li Jiayu's room, opened the drawer and began to search.

"What did you search in your son's room? Don't mess with your son's things!..." Father Li couldn't help but ask.Mother Li didn't answer, but quickly took out the bracelet that her son had hidden deep in the drawer.

found it!

Mother Li grabbed the bracelet and put it in front of her eyes to observe carefully——

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple...

Six! ...

Li's mother counted again unwillingly, but the colors on the bracelet were clear, and there were only six.As if all the strength in her body had been sucked away, Mother Li sat down on the chair, feeling a coldness in her heart...
