Butterfly Wishes Series

Just by imagining, behind the closed gate of the police station, the expression on the young criminal police squadron leader's usual hippie-smiling face will be at this moment.Yes, just using imagination can make people feel happy, so even if you feel itchy in your heart, you can temporarily endure the urge to turn around and take a look, or simply run back to tease the other party even more!Zheng Mei is not a house cat, on the contrary, it is a ferocious beast, but usually, he always keeps his paws well, so be careful, taming takes time and energy.

"Brother Tang..." Hu Lichun was visibly disturbed.Tang Qing knew that his actions just now were too unlike his usual calm self.The current him, the anger and sharpness overflowing all over his body, even when he was young, was weakened under heavy pressure and rarely showed any traces. This kind of self is another strange but familiar person in his heart. Shadows are dangerous, insolent, and have always been well-groomed and disguised, but now he suddenly has the urge to release them for a walk.

However, Tang Qing is not a person who acts impulsively.No matter how unusual his mood is at the moment, he still clearly remembers the situation he is facing now. He remembers the head in the rubbish dump, the brown flag, and the past 20 years ago...Danger, in the silent Approaching without breath!

"Xiaobai, you go home first." Tang Qing said kindly to Hu Lichun who was on the side. That kind of alienated politeness is what Hu Lichun is used to. Tang Qing knew that this would calm Hu Lichun down.

Sure enough, Hu Lichun just looked at him with a little doubt, said "Brother Tang, be more careful" and obediently left alone.

Tang Qing watched his back disappear before deviating from the avenue, picked a small road, and crossed into the residential area.

At this moment, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and the downtown area might still be full of lights, but the further you went north of the city, the quieter it seemed.Different from the lingering private houses in Bar Street, the north of City S is an old city, with a more shabby appearance than Lishui Street, but it seems to be content.It is in such a dilapidated urban area that fragments of past history are left sporadically. You can often see those distant memories beckoning and smiling at you just by turning a corner or looking up.

Tang Qing likes those ancient memories, even if they are like old people who are no longer young, with wrinkled skin and faces, they have a kind of energy that young people don't have. He himself defines it as the mood that only old people have with emotion.

Not long after he left, Tang Qing realized that he was being followed.The tracker appeared from the moment he entered the northern part of the city, but he didn't approach rashly, and he didn't take any action. He just stopped and walked with him, always keeping a certain distance.Tang Qing was aware of the existence of the other party, and felt that the other party knew that he was aware of it, but under such circumstances, the other party did not take any further action, but just continued to follow him without any technical content.The only two footsteps that echoed in the alley one after the other almost made people laugh. I have never seen such a blatant and rascal stalker.

Tang Qing also suspected that it was Zheng Mei's subordinates at first, and later suspected that it was a passing robber. Now he only thinks that the other party is playing a prank, but there must be a limit to pranks!

Seeing that there was another corner of an alley ahead, Tang Qing suddenly walked a few steps quickly, turned around the corner quickly, and at the same time held his breath, prepared his fists, and waited quietly.The footsteps behind him turned quickly after him, and apparently also followed him around the corner. Tang Qing listened to the sound to calculate the distance, and when the sound of footsteps was close in front of him, he suddenly flashed out from the dark and swung a wave at the opponent at a very fast speed. fist.Without having to calculate the height of the opponent, Tang Qing chose to hit the opponent's abdomen hard, but this punch only ushered in a draft on the face.

Was dodged?

Tang Qing jumped back two steps swiftly, and looked intently, but there was not even a shadow in front of him.He became vigilant instantly, five demon sickle tips were hidden in the knuckles of his right hand, his eyes turned blood red, and he looked around.After looking at it, I couldn't help but let out a "huh" in my heart.

The alley is still the same alley. Tang Qing has come to the north of the city many times and is familiar with the way, but something has changed vaguely, but if he really wants to say what has changed, he can't tell.Tang Qing's nerves tensed quickly. Although the external performance was different, he had begun to compare the correlation between this attack and his opponent 20 years ago.Calculating in his head, he kept moving, and while he was vigilantly checking everywhere, he walked back to the corner again, but before he walked out, he had already noticed something strange.He stretched out his hand to touch the place where he turned the corner just now, but there was a cold and hard wall within reach in the transparent air.Tang Qing swiped lightly with his right hand that had turned into a demon sickle, only to feel that his hand was cold and gelled. What the extremely hard demon sickle met was a soft opponent. Although soft, it was not easy to conquer.

Tang Qing withdrew his hand and turned around.Opponents clearly want him to go a different route.

There are towering white mud courtyard walls on both sides, and there are no gates of residential houses on both sides, because this alley happens to be between the backyards of the houses on both sides. According to folklore, such an alley is another version of Yinyang Road.Tang Qing was walking alone in the alley. At this time, the surroundings seemed not quiet anymore.From behind the towering courtyard wall, the sound of the noisy program on the TV could be faintly heard, occasionally mixed with the whispers of some people, the voice was furtive, and the tone was raised strangely.

"Look, look at him..."

"Look, look at him..."

"Hee hee, look, look..."

Tang Qing frowned slightly.He stopped and looked coldly at the two courtyard walls surrounding him.There are all kinds of imprints on the white mud wall, such as ball prints, footprints, black marks left by the friction of bicycles, etc., which look like strange scrolls in the dark night, like human beings one by one. Faces, men, women, young and old, all kinds of appearances, staring, squinting, and erect eyes, are all full of joking expressions.

Tang Qing squatted down and looked at those faces carefully for a while.The face of the person he was staring at initially remained motionless, but when he chuckled lightly and a bright yellow flame jumped out of his hand, it suddenly distorted the entire face as if it had come to life.The originally squinted eyes widened in an instant, and the small cherry mouth turned into a square mouth in horror, revealing a long black tongue.

At the beginning, only the face facing Tang Qing had a subtle change, but then it was like a domino was overturned by his finger. Starting from this face, the changes spread to both sides in an instant, and the anxiety and distortion fluctuated rapidly. The stacked faces were distorted by panic, and the ink marks that should have been dead were struggling and twisting desperately at this moment, as if being driven behind their backs, trying to escape from this end to the end far away from Tang Qing. The commotion sounded like the sound wave bands being pressed in the sink, overlapping and interfering muffledly, and it was as loud as the wind in the alley.The faces were desperately trying to escape, pushing and rolling, your eyeballs ran to the bridge of my nose, and his mouth fell to her chin, only the face that Tang Qing was staring at was sweating coldly at the moment He couldn't move a bit of ink, and only showed a begging expression in his eyes.

Tang Qing stretched out a finger, a little spark jumped out of the flame in the palm, and jumped to his fingertip naughtily.

"Burn."

Tang Qing's voice is deep and thick, and his attitude towards people is often pleasant, so that his voice always has a warm sense of a loving father and elder brother. In the past, some guests joked and suggested him to be a voice actor, but at this moment, this voice, so For opponents, I'm afraid they only feel cold.

A ten-mile open fire!Half of the wall instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames, and only the continuous sharp and fragmented screams could be heard in the flames. Those voices seemed to come from the depths of hell. In a flash, it was wiped clean in an instant, and the clouds were calm and the wind was light.

Tang Qing got up, turned his head, and looked at the wall on the other side with a smile.There were only solidified and dripping ink marks left on the entire wall, as if a person had sweated all over his body in cold sweat, washing off the makeup on his face, which was extremely ugly.

Tang Qing's fingers moved slightly, and the flame in his palm obediently separated into another star.There was another commotion of panic, and flames jumped up and down on Tang Qing s fingertips.

"Still coming out?" He asked in a deep voice.

The faces looked at each other, and suddenly, as if they were being pardoned, the ink marks scattered separately, wandered around, twisted and gathered together, and entangled an old wooden door on the white wall out of thin air. The door was open, and there was no light inside. .Tang Qing walked closer, and found a child sitting on the sill under the shadow of the door leaf, with big, black eyes, deep outline, and his chin resting, looking at Tang Qing slyly and playfully.

"Uncle, you are really good, you are indeed very powerful!" He said, smiling innocently with the corners of his lips curled up. If it were a woman who saw it, he would definitely be motherly.

Tang Qing made a judgment in an instant: "Ma Wencai, the leader of the ghost way, has long admired him."

◇

Since ancient times, ghosts and ghosts have not been involved in each other.

These two lines of people lurking in S City are few in number and not in number. They usually look at each other as irrelevant, but they are not ignorant of the background of both parties.Tang Qing knew of Ma Wencai's existence, and of course Ma Wencai should also know of his existence. It is precisely because both parties know how to write the word "knowledge of interest", so there has always been a clear distinction between well water and river water.

Tang Qing also heard that Ma Wencai was a deceitful and cruel "person" in the past, but at the same time, he also knew that his rule was strict and that rewards and punishments were clearly defined. No one could guess that it would be Ma Wencai himself who followed him like a prank today and set up a "ghost formation" to stop him.

Although it looks like a child, there is no doubt that it must be him!

In the shadows, Ma Wen only looked at Tang Qing innocently with his cheeks on his hands.He was wearing a small white shirt and a pair of neat little suit pants. The shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a section of fair neck and two thin collarbones. He looked like a young master of high society, with an innocent expression Yes, but when he turns around, who can question his ability to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain?

Hand... Tang Qing glanced at Ma Wencai's right hand, and the little finger of his fair and tender right hand was burnt black for a long time.

Ma Wencai saw Tang Qing looking at his right hand, and smiled, with straightforward appreciation in his big black and white eyes: "I heard that Mr. Tang is famous for his benevolence, and he really deserves his reputation. Even if he is forced to take action, remember to leave me a little face , keep my hand alive."

Tang Qing indeed could tell that the person who shot was a ghost, so he saved some strength, but he was not fully sure that he would win the opponent if he moved for real. What he was thinking about was the reason why Marvin came to him.He was more or less guessing, but he didn't dare to jump to a conclusion.

"Mr. Ma is too modest. There must be someone Tang who can help me when he invites me here."

Ma Wencai patted the threshold beside him with his small hand: "Come on, sit here, let's talk slowly."

Tang Qing did not hesitate, bent down and sat down, one big and one small sat side by side on the threshold. On the surface, it seemed that the two brothers were talking at night.

"Let me ask you first, who is Mr. Tang going to see when he is traveling in the middle of the night?"

"Shu Lao in the north of the city." Tang Qing answered truthfully.The old man Jing Shu, a bookworm who set up a fortune-telling stall in the north of the city, lived in the city and lived in the world for a long time longer than Tang Qing, but he was limited by his race and personality. He was not a powerful monster. A rare erudite, "I want to thank him, and also ask a few more questions."

As far as this sentence is concerned, Tang Qing also needs to confirm whether Ma Wencai's purpose of looking for him is what he thought, and also needs to confirm how much he knows.

Ma Wencai said "Oh" but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your wound medicine is very useful."

"what?"

Ma Wencai turned to look at him: "The one you met near Lishui Street the day before yesterday was my friend."

Tang Qing froze for a moment, thinking of the beautiful young man and his companions he saw that night, he hesitated and said: "That day, we had some misunderstandings."

"I understand." Marvin waved his hand, "My friend's injury has healed." He frowned slightly as if thinking of some difficult problem.Tang Qing also thought of the man's appearance. He didn't know what the reason was, and he became immortal, and even he couldn't tell the reason.

Ma Wencai picked up a branch from nowhere and fiddled with it in his hand: "Let's get straight to the point, something happened in this city, you know."

"You mean the murder three days ago?"

"What happened three days ago is not the first case." Ma Wencai said in a deep voice, "Mr. Tang, you are in charge of the way of demons, and I am in charge of the way of ghosts. Originally, we would not interfere with the river, but I am afraid that this matter will not be able to pass alone. Yes. Frankly speaking, in the past month or so, ghosts have been in turmoil, and some people have broken taboos. The first case was 25 days ago, followed by [-] days ago, seven days ago, and then three days ago. Four people died. Individuals, but ghost agents cannot even arrest a person’s soul.”

Tang Qing's brows also frowned. The six reincarnations have their own system. When a person dies, the three souls and seven souls are scattered, and gradually become ghosts and then ghosts. It is the duty of heaven for ghosts to arrest ghosts. hands and feet.

"This is not the most troublesome thing. Three days ago on Lishui Street, someone put up a "stealing the sky and changing the sun" formation to block my subordinates from investigating, and even left a head in protest. Mr. Tang should also know, I heard My friend said that the thing that started the battle should be in the hands of Mr. Tang now."

Tang Qing nodded: "That's right, it's a "Jia" flag, planted in the shade of the northeast."

The expression on Ma Wencai's small face became more and more serious: "I have checked that there have been no visits by talented people in S City recently. This is definitely not the work of monks and Taoists. Mr. Tang has been here for a long time, so he must know something that I don't know. things."

Tang Qing hesitated slightly. The incident 20 years ago involved his personal privacy, and because it was a rare defeat in his life, he never took the initiative to mention it to others: "You suspect that it was my demon."

"I heard that something happened 20 years ago." Ma Wencai played with the branch in his hand, "Mr. Shu mentioned to me that Mr. Tang turned the tide by himself that day, but he was also seriously injured and almost died. I want to know what happened in this place today. Is it possible that something in the city has something to do with him?"

Tang Qing saw that Ma Wencai easily cut the bricks and stones with a branch, and drew a picture.Even after 20 years, seeing his appearance, Tang Qing still couldn't restrain the feeling of fright, so much that he couldn't control his hands trembling slightly.

Ma Wencai sighed: "It seems that you also suspected it, so you came to Mr. Shu, didn't you? No wonder Yingtai also said that this matter is dangerous..." Afterwards, he smiled but said seriously, "Brother Tang , let’s be friends, demons and ghosts, let’s move forward and retreat together from today!”

Tang Qing had guessed Ma Wencai's original intention, and his sudden temptation and his behavior of stopping after using his skills all reminded him of this possibility.But I didn't expect this issue to be brought up so easily, and Ma Wencai said it so perfectly, as if the historical distinction between demons and ghosts was just a legend, as if they had long been a pair of living together. Good brother, good partner!Tang Qing thinks he likes this young leader.

"Okay." Tang Qing said, "How to implement it, come to my store to discuss at noon tomorrow. My store is on Lishui Street..."

"'Demon', right? Actually, I've been there before, but you just weren't there at that time." Marvin dropped the branch in his hand and clapped his hands, "I like the decoration style of your store..."

Just talking, suddenly there was a burst of unimaginable music noisy between the two of them, Tang Qing heard a "buzz" in his head, because the music was full of weird and absurd melodies and drum beats, and there were personal voices Desperately shouting "Calling, my wife is calling, my wife is calling, yo yo, my wife is calling", listen carefully, the voice is still familiar.

Then, he saw the little Marvin excitedly took out a big mobile phone from the pocket of his suit trousers, put it to his ear and spoke in a voice so sweet that it gave people goosebumps: "Hey, wife Ah...wife?"

Through the microphone, Tang Qing could hear the hustle and bustle on the other side, slapping the table and throwing bowls, and the sound of many people yelling and slapping their hands came through the radio waves.

"Ma Wencai. 』A cold and clear voice sounded.

"Scholar, why did you answer the phone?" Little Ma Wencai frowned as if the end of the world was coming.

The microphone over there seemed to be aimed at another place, and Tang Qing heard someone shouting: "Jiuzi, Jiuzi, ouch, hero!" 』

"Fatty, quickly pour wine for Master Jiu, Monkey Master, I don't believe in evil anymore, our 403 four heroes have been in the society for several years, and we can still lose to a group of fucking college students and die children!" 』

"Ajiu is competing for wine with someone."

"That's right. 』

"Look at him for me, I'll be right there!"

"it is good. 』

After speaking, he suddenly stood up.The small figure looks like it grows when it sees the wind. When it was sitting, it was still a boy, but it quickly grew taller and grew up in the process of standing up. An almost threatening youth.

"Sorry, little brother has to go first, my wife is in some trouble." Marvin said apologetically.

Although a little confused, Tang Qing still nodded: "By the way, Mr. Shu..."

"I left a note saying that I will run away later."

There was a silence that echoed between the two.

Mr. Shu is indeed very knowledgeable, but he is indeed not strong, so he always puts oil on the soles of his feet when he encounters troubles all the year round, and slips away...

"I'll come to see you at twelve noon tomorrow."

"Okay, you can try the food in our bar by the way."

"Okay, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Ma Wen just waved his hand, then stopped suddenly, "Zheng Mei, that is my wife's senior..."

Tang Qing was stunned, and remembered that Zheng Mei did mention that his junior said his boyfriend was a ghost, but he didn't expect that it was Ma Wencai, the leader of the ghost way.

"That man is troublesome. If you want to eat him, you'd better be careful."

"eat?"

Ma Wencai smiled ambiguously: "You know what I mean." After speaking, he waved his hand, and his figure disappeared under the night in an instant.

◇

A warning message is being broadcast on the radio: "Recently, the Tianshui District Police Department of S City is investigating an intentional homicide case. The suspect Tan Xinghui killed a person on July [-] at the rubbish dump in Waqiao Lane, Lishui Street, this city. Absconding, please cooperate with the police from all walks of life to arrest and actively report clues. The police will...』

Yu Xiaole knocked on the open door of the squadron leader's office, but no one responded.On the desk piled with a large amount of information and documents, even the head of the owner of the office can no longer be seen, only a few messy hairs floating in the air, reminding that there are still people in this office.

Yu Xiaole walked in, gently closed the door, and naturally sat on the old swivel chair in front of Zheng Mei's desk.With a slight movement and no sound, the person behind the desk opened his eyes alertly and arched his back as if ready to go.It wasn't until the eyes of the two stars full of vitality met Yu Xiaole that he let out a soft breath from his mouth, and then his whole body collapsed. Overwhelmed by laziness, it seemed that the power just now was just an illusion.

Yu Xiaole sometimes feels that Zheng Mei is like a disguised beast living in the city. No matter how playful he is, humans and animals are harmless, but if he steps into his territory and violates his bottom line, what he gives His counterattack will never make people feel better!

"Didn't go back last night?" Yu Xiaole watched Zheng Mei lazily turn off the radio, then swept a lunch box buried in the pile of waste paper on the table into the trash can next to the table, and piled up the original as if by magic. There was a small space in the middle of the full desk, and he even took the time to pour himself a cup of tea.

"Well, there's been a lot going on lately."

Yu Xiaole held out two fingers: "I bet you can retire at least 20 years earlier, stroke or something."

"Go, don't give me the crow's mouth." Zheng Mei lazily sipped a sip of tea, "You are not the same yourself, everyone in our line of work has a short lifespan."

Life can never be romantic or natural reasoning!

The detection process of any case is inseparable from a large number of on-the-spot investigations and evidence collection and hard work. The plots of mystery novels such as isolated islands, big houses, waiting to be killed or caught can never appear in real life. There are not those mysterious and exquisite secret rooms and traps in the movie, and there are not so many murderers who are gentle and good at using their brains to commit crimes. simple murder.

Naturally, the same is true for City S. In this city with a population of 1000 to 960 million, impromptu homicides, simple and brutal robbery deaths, and fighting deaths account for the largest proportion of homicides.People question the police's ability to handle cases, but they don't know that with the current equipment conditions and the development of forensic science, there are almost no cases that cannot be solved, and the worsening detection rate is only due to the rising crime rate and the difficulty of arrest.It sounds ridiculous, but it is not uncommon for murderers to get away with it because the police have no funds. They are searching for one person after another in the [-] million square kilometers of the country. Who is willing to sign the application for funding?Even if a larger case really develops into cross-provincial cooperation, for fraternal cooperation units, the collaborators will follow the usual practice and ask the place where the original case occurred to provide financial support after the suspect is arrested.this is the truth!

"I'm different from you. I have my own way of keeping in good health." Yu Xiaole said leisurely, focusing on the stack of papers that was spread between the two of them at the moment.The papers were all bound together with thread, and covered with a kraft paper cover. Yu Xiaole knew that this was the case record file of the homicide department without looking at the cover.

"Are you investigating an old case?"

"Records of abnormal deaths and missing persons that occurred in this city from last year to now," Zheng Mei flipped through the files with one hand, "I happened to find something interesting. If you don't come to me, I will harass you."

"So it seems that I have really delivered it to my door," Yu Xiaole folded one long leg on top of the other, "Let's hear it."

"You know the Lishui Street case. I always thought it was related to the "20 Serial Rape and Murder Case" 2.20 years ago."

"I know."

"So, I think why not assume that the murder in Lishui Street this time is also one of the serial murders. If it is, then it absolutely cannot happen in isolation..."

"I remember I mentioned that before this case, I had no impression of taking over a corpse whose autopsy was as horrific as this time."

"Of course I also know this, but if the criminal methods at that time were not as horrifying as they are now, did they not attract enough attention? You and I know what Jin Zijian did. Since it is a serial murder case, it must be committed by the same murderer. Because, because of the typical morbid psychological characteristics of this type of murderer, they will often reveal some strongly directional messages when killing people, such as being unable to resist doing the same thing, or even establishing a killing ritual... "

"So, since there has not been a precedent of beheading the dead, leaving the scene full of blood and messing up the ground in the past year and a half, obviously, in the past year and a half, there has not been a similar related case in this city. .”

"Don't forget, the guts of a serial killer is a growing beast. Maybe he was just a novice at the beginning. When he committed the first case, he was so scared that he trembled and even peed his pants, but When he found that not only was he not caught, but he could even walk around the gate of the police station, he would become more courageous than before, and his modus operandi would become more and more cruel."

Yu Xiaole frowned: "I remember you said that the Lishui Street case is linked to "2.20". Obviously, the other party cannot be a novice, and if I remember correctly, you have always been suspicious of Tang Qing."

"That's why you misunderstood." Zheng Mei touched the stubble on his chin from not sleeping all night, and said cautiously, "I never said that Tang Qing was the murderer this time. After all, in the past 20 years, although he Living in this city, there has been no accident in this city. I just suspect that he is the murderer of the "2.20" case. However, it is undeniable that the perpetrator this time must have some kind of hidden connection with him. You know some people I would imitate those horrific acts out of inexplicable admiration, just because I thought it was awe-inspiring."

"Doubt?" Yu Xiaole pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose: "You used to say affirmatively, when did your view of Tang Qing change or should I ask what made you change your view of him? "

Zheng Mei seemed to be overwhelmed by Yu Xiaole's question all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth for a long time before responding: "Improvement? What improvement? I just think about the problem as comprehensively as possible. Preconceived ideas are taboo when handling a case, but what you said .”

Yu Xiaole tilted her head: "I heard that you went through the formalities for him personally last night."

Zheng Mei obviously didn't expect that this matter would be known to Yu Xiaole, but after being surprised, she still replied quickly: "It's just a matter of course, anyway, I was in the bureau last night."

"Really?" Yu Xiaole said, leaning forward, but under the black frame was a pair of eyes shining with sly light. Being stared at by such eyes, even Zheng Mei couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, as if he didn't explain Something doesn't work.

"Forget it." Yu Xiaole suddenly relaxed the pressure on the other party, and leaned back on the chair, "You haven't told me what you found."

Zheng Mei breathed a sigh of relief, with an obvious performance that he himself did not notice: "From last year to now, there have been nine suspicious cases, among which three cases that have caught my attention are the three cases that occurred in the past two months, the robbery in the western suburbs , the Jingbo Lake drowning case, and the body found at Chaibei Farm..."

"The last one was dissected by me. The first two were dissected by Lao Wu and Zhou Bingkun. The knife stabbed, drowned, and the last one was killed by a knife and a blunt object. The three were all female corpses. What's the problem? ?”

"The three are female corpses, all young, and the corpses are incomplete."

"It's too far-fetched." Yu Xiaole replied, "The female corpse in the robbery in the western suburbs was missing the calf part of her left leg, but there are often wild dogs in the vicinity. She had been dead for more than a week when she was found. Because of the warm climate, the body was rotten. Soon, according to the fracture at the knee, there is no doubt that her calf was bitten off by wild animals, I think it was those wild dogs; the dead body in Jingpo Lake did lack the palm of her left hand, but don’t forget that she did not show There are no traces of fighting with people, no traces of binding on the body, no alcohol or other drug ingredients were detected in the stomach pouch and digestive system, and her palms were missing after death. There may be many reasons. Fish are hungry for food I agree with Zhou Bingkun's conclusion of suicide; the corpse found in Chaibei Farm was missing her left foot, which was cut off before her death. Only this case, I think there may be an intersection with the Lishui Street case, but In view of the fact that the deceased’s private life was indiscreet and he was often entangled with married men, of course a vendetta can also be judged.”

Zheng Mei thought for a while: "Xiao Le, I agree with what you said, but have you noticed something?"

"what?"

"The missing body parts of the deceased." Zheng Mei pointed to the case file and said, "Left palm, left foot, left calf, I suggest you read Shimada Shoji's "Astrological Murder Case"."

◇

Yu Xiaole looked at Zheng Mei from left to right and from right to left: "I thought Zhao Jiajia broke up with you."

Zheng Mei was choked by his words and rolled his eyes immediately, and almost wanted to shrink under the desk and poke his fingers, because he still had a bit of self-esteem of the captain of the criminal police squadron, finally opened his mouth for a long time and reluctantly replied: "We broke up, but this It doesn't affect my hobby of reading mystery novels, besides, isn't she just a woman..."

"Yeah, isn't it just a woman." Yu Xiaole's mouth turned up slightly, showing the best example of a smirk, "53 days ago you started staying up all night for this "not just a woman" woman Re-read "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor", just to say a few words when you date someone the next day. This is also the first mystery novel you read in your life. Fifty days ago, it was "The Tragedy of W" , 48 days ago it was "The Mystery of Siamese Conjoined Twins", 43 days ago it was "Sandware", and "Astrological Murder" was watched 32 days ago, that is, last month..."

Zheng Mei looked at Yu Xiaole miserably: "Forensic doctor Yu, did I offend you somewhere?"

"No."

How could there be no...

"I...I apologize."

Yu Xiaole squinted her eyes and looked at Zheng Mei who was bowing her head for a while, before she smiled with satisfaction: "It's all over, so why apologize. But next time, don't use the plot of a novel that ignores forensic science as an example again." gone."

Zheng Mei let out an "oh" in her heart, and finally understood what she had offended the forensic doctor.He despised the authority of forensic science, and underestimated Yu Xiaole's reading of mystery novels.Indeed, from today's point of view, the book "Zhan" shows that the basis for the establishment of the conspiracy is simply unbelievable, but because it was written in the early 80s, the realization of the entire conspiracy was impossible for the undeveloped forensic technology at that time. It is indeed doable.However, Yu Xiaole will point out that this point is obviously not just for bullying...

"Xiao Le, I don't mean to say that I think there is a lunatic who thinks that with today's forensic medical examination technology, he can follow the example of this book and make a series of serial murders that change the day and day, and piece together five corpses into six." I was able to escape the law, at least our female victims had nothing to do with each other.”

"Then you mean to say that there is really a lunatic who wants to kill women to get human body parts and piece them together to make an 'Athod'?"

"Why is it impossible?" Zheng Mei asked back, "All the dead are young and beautiful women. According to the data, although their origins are different, they are all above the age of 25 and well-educated. I have reason to believe that the deceased The similarity between the background and the condition of the corpse shows something, and this Lishui Street case has convinced me of it even more!"

Yu Xiaole tapped her knee lightly with her knuckles: "Zheng Mei, you are wrong."

"Give me a reason."

Yu Xiaole handed out a folder in her hand: "One of the purposes of my coming to you is to give you this. The preliminary autopsy report on Lishui Street is out."

Zheng Mei jumped up: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" He couldn't wait to snatch the folder from Xiaole's hand, and only after he opened it and read two lines, his expression changed immediately.After reading the entire report, his eyes still wandered back and forth on the first page of the autopsy report for a long time, and finally he sighed in frustration, and fell back on the chair, as if he was discouraged. the ball.

"It's a man? How could it be a man? Are you sure..." Thinking of Yu Xiaole's "bullying" just now, Zheng Mei swallowed the last word "Are you sure" extremely dangerously in his stomach at the last moment.
