Dangerous Personality

Chi Qing can confirm one thing.

That is - an hour ago, he was indeed crazy to touch Xie Lin's hand under the dining table.

"Just kidding," Xie Lin saw his expression of wanting to leave the police station now, took his hand back, and spread the data book in the other hand in front of him, "I'm not kidding you, let's read the data?"

In fact, Chi Qing has not read the complete on-site information. The number of on-site photos left by Ji Mingrui at his home is limited. He has only seen a few scattered photos. The stray cats in the photos are almost identical in death.

Su Xiaolan was in charge of document recording. The interrogation of Ji Mingrui and Li Guangfu reached a stalemate, so she had nothing to do.

So her attention was quickly attracted by the person on the opposite side who "get together" to look through the materials.

It is not appropriate to say that they are together, because even if they read the same document together, there is a relatively safe distance between the two of them. He seemed to have no energy, his eyelids were drooping, but even so, he still tried his best to draw an invisible [-]th line with the air with the people around him.

Xie Lin: "You sit so far away, can you see clearly?"

Chi Qing: "I have good eyesight."

"..."

Only when the two discussed the case did they show a rare harmony.

The topic gradually approached, and it sounded like a very speculative conversation... But the content of the conversation was not quite right.

Xie Lin: "Serrated knives are actually very suitable for dismembering corpses."

Chi Qing agreed, and he said lightly: "If you want to throw the corpse and wash away the traces of crime, shredding the corpse is indeed a better method than throwing it on the lawn."

Xie Lin rested his fingers on the paper: "It just takes a little effort."

Chi Qing: "And it's easy to get your hands dirty."

Xie Lin: "Where would you choose to throw them?"

"The nearby raw meat market," Chi Qing said without hesitation, "in the raw meat market, the probability of animal carcasses attracting attention is much lower."

Su Xiaolan: "..."

...what did she hear.

Su Xiaolan's mood at the moment is hard to express. It is obvious that Li Guangfu is the suspect who is currently following the clues, but how does she feel that the suspect Li Guangfu seems to be more like an innocent citizen than Jie Lin and Chi Qing.

Xie Lin: "Indeed, the murderer chose to throw it on the lawn because he wanted to be discovered. He wanted to kill but didn't dare, so he had to find some satisfaction in other places - such as the panic of the crowd, the surrounding people's arguments."

Chi Qing does not judge what the murderer is thinking, because it is difficult for him to perceive what other people are thinking and what psychological feelings they have.

But Xie Lin seems to be very good at this.

The information was quickly turned to the last page. On the last page were several newly added photos of shoe prints. These blood-stained shoe prints were discovered by technicians on the first site survey a few days ago, and they were detected by means of measurement. I found out the approximate size of the shoes. It was a pair of size 42 shoes, which was the same size as the shoes at the corpse dumping site.

Su Xiaolan felt that the topic of the two of them was finally pulled back from the road of "crime", and saw that Xie Lin suddenly stopped talking, his eyes stayed on the shoe print for a moment, and suddenly frowned.

And Chi Qing also rarely stretched out his hand from his coat pocket, and with his thin white fingers, he pulled out a photo of the scene from the file.

The photo shows the silver-white highland cat in Grandma Wang's house. The photographer deliberately enlarged the cat's features when recording, and the lens clearly focused on the special black spot on the cat's ear.

Xie Lin: "What are you looking at?"

Chi Qing: "Cat ears."

Ji Mingrui was repeatedly confirming the key information, and asked Li Guangfu, "Did you really steal the knife?" Before Li Guangfu could answer, Xie Lin walked up to him at some point and said, "He should not be a suspect."

"?"

Xie Lin: "There is a problem with the shoe print."

It was too dark that night, and he didn't notice the shoe prints on the ground at the scene. After reading the information, he realized something was wrong.

"The scene of the crime has been washed by rain, so there is no way to identify it, but the heel of the shoe print that was accidentally left at the first scene has heavy heels. The murderer is obviously not wearing his own shoes. If this is the case, then His conclusion of 'poor physical fitness' also has a basis, 'he' is probably not a man, the possibility of a woman is even higher...even, it may be just an underage child."

The inference of women is fine, but...

"……child?"

"If it's a child, his age should be between 12 and 15 years old," Xie Lin put his hands on the table as he spoke, and approached Li Guangfu who was sitting across from him for trial in a very natural posture, with a pair of smiling eyes , but there was a natural sense of oppression in the words, "Mr. Li, you said that your electrical appliances are broken. Did you come out to buy screwdrivers alone?"

Li Guangfu did not speak.

Following Jielin's question, his memory went back to that rainy night.

He went out at 11:18, and it was raining heavily outside, and the road was muddy, making it extremely difficult to walk, and the mud rubbed his feet.

He rubbed his arms, braving the wet and cold weather, holding an umbrella in his hand, speeding up his pace, wanting to finish shopping and go home quickly.

11:30 pm.

Convenience groceries are about to close their stores.

Li Guangfu almost pushed open the door of the grocery store with his frozen hands.

"Dingling—" the doorbell rang.

The little boy was packing the pencil case. He raised his head and called out crisply: "Uncle Li."

Li Guangfu smiled at him, did not put away the umbrella, but urged his son behind him to come in quickly: "Xiaokang, hurry up, don't get drenched."

After he finished speaking, the people outside the door slowly walked in.

The boy was much taller than his peers, and he was wrapped in a thick school uniform.

"Did you come out to buy screwdrivers alone?" Xie Lin asked again.

"I..." Li Guangfu actually didn't fully understand what happened, but under Xie Lin's gaze, he murmured, "I...I'm alone..."

"You should know that as long as you make a phone call and ask the convenience people, you can quickly find out whether it is one person or two people."

"..."

"Do you need me to ask you one last time?"

"...and my son," Li Guangfu said, "my son went with me."

"I don't know what you are looking for, but it must have nothing to do with my son."

Ji Mingrui also wanted to say: What does this have to do with his son?

Just because the murderer was wearing big shoes that didn't fit his feet, there was no way to identify his son as a suspect. Besides, a child had previously speculated that there was a possibility of killing a cat to practice his hand. Who did he want to kill?

Although his son is suspected of stealing a knife, and has sneaked into Grandma Wang's house... Wait!

Ji Mingrui seemed to have caught a thread.

This thread started from the night of continuous heavy rain, from a small, inconspicuous wood carving. He caught one end of this thread, but couldn't catch the other end for a while.Until Xie Lin took the initiative to bring up the wood carving case: "At that time, you found an old mobile phone at Grandma Wang's house. Is that mobile phone still there?"

"The two parties successfully mediated and returned it long ago."

Ji Mingrui asked: "Is there any problem with the phone?"

Xie Lin only said two words: "Album."

Ji Mingrui was the one who flipped through the phone's photo album. He followed Chi Qing's browsing history and looked at the extent to which Chi Qing had opened it. Since it was an old phone, there were not many photos left in the phone photo album. There were some photos of Li Guangfu. There were not many new photos of the travel photos taken before... But he remembered one of the latest photos.

The shooting time was the same day as the wood carving case. The photos were very blurry, black and white, like a black and white thing flashed in front of the camera.And that photo is not like a regular photo, but it looks like it was accidentally taken by pressing the wrong button.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be a bit fluffy.

……

Xie Lin asked, "Does the first photo in the album look like that silver-white highland ear?"

"Like," Ji Mingrui figured out the logic almost immediately, and the two of them had avoided the person involved and came to the corridor, "So maybe Li Guangfu's son didn't steal the woodcarving that day, but catching the cat was the real thing. This can also explain why the mobile phone fell on the ground, why such a photo was captured, and when Grandma Wang came back, he had no time to pick up the mobile phone, so he had to be smart enough to grab something... But how do you know?"

Xie Lin pointed inward through the glass door.

The direction his fingertips were pointing was exactly pointing to Chi Qing who was sitting there reluctantly.

Chi Qing waited impatiently, sitting on the sofa, looking a little sleepy, looking up at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, calculating how much unnecessary time he had wasted sitting here.

10 minutes ago.

After Chi Qing answered the word "cat ears", he looked at the photo in his hand for a long time: "...I seem to have seen this black spot there."

After experiencing the incident where his brother and Jie Lin sent each other to the police station, Ji Mingrui was amazed that they had the ability to calmly sit together and reason about the case.

Ji Mingrui said to himself: "Is this the legendary negative can also be positive?"

Ji Mingrui thought of the most important thing, which is also the most worrying point for everyone: "If this Xiaokang is really a suspect, what motive does he have for killing?"

In other words, who might be the victim?

"I have to go, Xiaokang and Mingming are still waiting for me at home..." Li Guangfu stood up suddenly, and went out regardless of Jiang Yu's obstruction, "What are you doing?! It doesn't matter whether it's about me or Xiaokang, I don't know what you want to investigate, you have no evidence and no rights, why detain me here?!"

After Ji Mingrui went to the corridor, Jiang Yu took over Ji Mingrui's position. Since he was sitting, it was inconvenient to use his strength, so he didn't grab him at the first time.

Li Guangfu walked in a hurry. Seeing two people standing at the door, he knew that it would not be easy for him to leave, so he looked around before rushing out, looking for something to defend himself, so that he could block when someone came to arrest him. ——

He picked the chair that Jie Lin was sitting on just now, and when he picked it up, he hurt the man next to him who wasn't in a good mood.

Chi Qing's sleepy eyelids, which were almost closed, opened a little: "..."

Li Guangfu approached suddenly, and because the corner of the chair was easy to poke people, Chi Qing raised his hand to block the foot of the chair. This block, the back of his hand happened to touch the back of Li Guangfu's waving right hand.

[I have to go back quickly, I don't know if Xiaokang is still angry with me, I shouldn't scold him for my temper. 】

[After his mother died, he couldn't accept that I would marry again, and he didn't want to have another half-brother.But I really didn't expect that he would actually say...]

All sounds disappeared in that instant.

Jiang Yu's voice blocking Li Guangfu, the noise in the office, Ji Mingrui's scolding—all of these were far away at once.

Only the distorted voice continued to expand in his ear, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

【He actually said... It would be fine if there was no younger brother. 】

This voice lay next to his ear and kept emphasizing: 【...It would be great if there is no brother. 】

……

However, these mixed voices suddenly stopped.

Chi Qing blinked slowly, and it took half a beat to realize that it was Xie Lin who pulled Li Guangfu's hand away in the confusion.

But the reason why the sound stopped abruptly was obviously not only because Li Guangfu's people were torn apart, because the colleague who the man put one hand on Li Guangfu's hand was also holding his hand with the other hand.

Chi Qing lowered her eyes and saw that her knuckles were lightly resting on Jie Lin's palm at this moment.

"This Mr. Li," Xie Lin looked at Li Guangfu and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, and don't touch it if you have nothing to do."
