According to the housekeeping aunt, after Wu Zhen was murdered, his house was locked. That is to say, the murderer may have a key. Just one key is enough. According to my understanding, there are usually three keys for such a door, one for Wu Zhen, one for Jiang Wanning, and one for the housekeeping aunt. Now only one key is found in Wu Zhen’s house, that is to say The key to one of Jiang Wanning and Wu Zhenzhong was taken away by the murderer.

"What about the fingerprints at the scene?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Except for the fingerprints of Wu Zhen, Jiang Wanning and the housekeeping aunt, no other fingerprints were found at home." This is the news from the identification department.

The fingerprints of these three people were also left on the doorknob, which means that the murderer did not deliberately wipe off the fingerprints at the scene, so it is very likely that the murderer committed the crime wearing gloves. It makes people feel strange, but what makes Gu Mengping feel a little strange is why the murderer didn't get rid of the shoe prints. The murderer has certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities, but he wore gloves but didn't wear shoe covers.

There are two possibilities for this. One is that the murderer thinks it is unnecessary. The shoe prints can at most deduce his height, weight, gender and other information, but the specific identity is still not very clear.There is another kind, that is, the information left by the murderer deliberately, like a kind of provocation, Gu Mengping felt that this case gave him a very strange feeling.

Sure enough, Gu Mengping's strange feeling was quickly fulfilled. After ten o'clock, the team received another report, and this time, Gu Mengping also obtained some key news.

Gu Mengping was supposed to investigate Wu Zhen's case instead of going all the way with Mu Zhiyuan, but the crime happened in another building near Wu Zhen's residence.

"What? The dismemberment case?" Mu Zhiyuan's voice came, and Gu Mengping, who was sitting next to him, frowned.

"Okay, seal off the scene, I'm almost there." Mu Zhiyuan hung up the phone, and turned to meet Gu Mengping's frowning brows.

"What's the situation?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Come and take a look with me. Anyway, it's on the way." Mu Zhiyuan said, he was a little uncertain, to be precise, he was very disturbed. He felt that this case was related to Wu Zhen's case, but he arrived first. The police officer probably was quite frightened, and he didn't make it too clear on the phone.

After arriving, there were only two young policemen at the scene. They were patrolling policemen who rushed over as soon as they received the report. At the moment, all of them looked unhappy. Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan brought someone here, this Only slightly relieved.

"Tell me about the situation." Mu Zhiyuan asked while wearing gloves while standing at the door.

"You'd better go in and see for yourself," said one person.

Mu Zhiyuan frowned, put on his shoe covers, and went in. Gu Mengping followed behind him. As soon as he entered, his expression became serious instantly, and the same was true for the others, because the scene of the crime was so similar to It was almost exactly the same as Wu Zhen's case. There were all kinds of chopped up corpses in the room, and there was still the same bright red painting on the wall.

Gu Mengping glanced at the blood stains on the bed, and then glanced at the corpses scattered around. This time, there seemed to be only one dead person. He retreated from the room and walked into the living room. The dining table was cleaned up, and there was only one Plates and a set of cutlery were neatly placed on the table.

"Eat it." Si Qingyang stood by the dining table and said, looking at Gu Mengping at the door.

Three words are enough.

"The person who made the report is a member of the housekeeping company. It is said that he came to cook lunch for the owner. He saw this scene when he opened the door." Mu Fan's voice came, and it seemed that he had already understood the situation.

"Who is the owner?"

"Lei Guangyao." Mu Fan replied.

This Lei Guangyao and Gu Mengping are no strangers, and he can be regarded as a well-known entrepreneur in China, and his reputation in the business circle is also very good.Gu Mengping was wandering around the room, but he didn't get started. He felt something was in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it. Lei Guangyao had gained a lot of reputation, and there were various trophies in the cabinet, including some hobby trophies. For example, golf competitions and some corporate certificates, a cabinet full, Gu Mengping took two steps, stopped suddenly, turned back, and looked at one of the columns in the certificates.

There was nothing special about the crystal trophy, but what Gu Mengping paid attention to was the words written under it.

Charity Ambassador.

These four words instantly reminded Gu Mengping of Wu Zhen.

"Lei Guangyao's philanthropy is also good?" Gu Mengping asked as he took the trophy out of the cabinet.

"That's right, but he is a low-key person, he doesn't like to participate in charity galas like Wu Zhen, but it is said that there are also a lot of donations from various parties. It is said that he donated [-] million yuan for the earthquake in S Province last year." Mu Zhiyuan walked over and said.

Gu Mengping squinted his eyes and put the trophy back in his hand.

"I've already seen the footprints, and it was done by one person." When Mu Zhiyuan lay down on the ground looking at the footprints, Gu Mengping said, his tone was very sure, it was done by the same person.

In the afternoon, news came from the Appraisal Department that the one who died was Lei Guangyao.The first time he came to the scene, Gu Mengping asked Si Qingyang to get the monitoring system of the building, but it did not exceed his expectations, and the monitoring system had already been taken away.The case was exactly the same as Wu Zhen's case, the murderer didn't even change his method of killing, the paranoia was terrifying.

Mu Zhiyuan was going to apply for two cases to his superiors and investigate one case. The superiors quickly agreed and gave him a time limit to solve the case. Wu Zhen's case is easy to discuss, but it is obvious that this is a serial murder case, and the murderer Whether he will commit crimes or not is unknown. Facing such a dangerous murderer, the higher ups have to exert pressure. The news will not be blocked for a long time. All this must be dealt with before the outbreak.

Gu Mengping and Si Qingyang returned to Wu Zhen's apartment. It is not known who took the missing surveillance of the building, but Gu Mengping believed that the murderer would never disappear out of thin air. The first guess was that the murderer knew where Wu Zhen lived. The place is very familiar, and the surrounding environment is also very familiar, otherwise it would not be so difficult to find traces in the surveillance.

But judging from their list of visitors to Wu Zhen, very few people know about Wu Zhen's residence. Wu Zhen usually meets guests in another house, and most of the time he lives here with Jiang Wanning. In the very small list of visitors, they did not find any suspicious characters.

The murderer did not leave fingerprints at the two scenes, but left footprints, the same modus operandi, and the same eating of the deceased's heart, but what was the motive for the murder?This second case of the murderer seemed to give him a hint.

Yes, hint.

Gu Mengping felt this strange feeling once. He felt that the murderer seemed to want to leave some clues on purpose, and even told him directly without concealment.

The murderer is not killing people indiscriminately, he is selective, but what is this choice?

male?No, Jiang Wanning was also killed.

entrepreneur?This is one of the points, but there are many entrepreneurs, and this point alone does not seem to get a lot of information.

The murderer made sand sculptures of Wu Zhen and Lei Guangyao, and ate their hearts, but why didn't he eat Jiang Wanning's heart?Could it be because Jiang Wanning is a woman?

No, it shouldn't be like this, the murderer obviously didn't have much patience with Jiang Wanning, so the division was not very thorough, but Wu Zhen and Lei Guangyao were different, the murderer cut them neatly, piece by piece , There are large and small, a total of 180 yuan.

Gu Mengping had a guess in his mind, the murderer might only target Wu Zhen, Jiang Wanning was just an additional person, would the murderer kill her smoothly?

If he guessed that Wu Zhen and Lei Guangyao were the only ones the murderer wanted to kill, would he get more clues?

As he pondered, his eyes fell on Wu Zhen's cabinet, and the first thing he saw was the trophy.

Charity Ambassador.

It was exactly the same as the one in Lei Guangyao's house.

"Check which unit awarded it." Gu Mengping pointed to the trophy and said to Zhou Yi.

"Oh, yes." Zhou Yi said.

"I want to go back and check the monitoring again. I think something is missing." Gu Mengping said, he has watched the crime scene countless times, but he didn't give him a breakthrough. He felt that he had to open other breakthroughs.

The characteristics of the murderer were confirmed, but this time no trace was found in the sky eye, which was somewhat frustrating to some police officers who relied on the sky eye.Gu Mengping solved a case before, which greatly encouraged them who were watching the surveillance every day, but this time it gave them another blow to the head, no matter how many times they watched it, there seemed to be nothing unusual.There were still so many people, no one disappeared from the surveillance, and no one who matched the characteristics of the murderer was found.

There is only this one exit of the building, and the murderer will come out of this exit no matter what method he uses. Gu Mengping does not believe that this person has wings and can fly out of the building.

He stared at the monitor, watched it at double speed, watched it over and over again, his eyes were a little red.

"Do you see anything?" When he was tired, he rubbed his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Si Qingyang was also staring at the screen.

"En." Si Qingyang responded softly.

Gu Mengping was overjoyed, but within two seconds, the joy in his eyes was suppressed again.

"I can see why you didn't say anything!" Gu Mengping was annoyed.

"You didn't ask." Si Qingyang said three words very calmly, and Gu Mengping was furious!

Gu Mengping gritted his teeth, and then heard Si Qingyang continue: "Transfiguration is like an onion, whether you are building it or taking it off, it is almost like a transparent layer, and when you make more layers, you will It will disappear and become a completely different person. This is what a CIA agent said." Gu Mengping said something suddenly, and everyone looked at him in a daze.

Gu Mengping froze for a moment, as if he had forgotten how he wanted to get angry just now, Si Qingyang suddenly reached out and touched the top of his head, as if he was trying to comfort a kitten.

"Let's rest for a while." His tone was still so light, but his expression was very serious.
