Thorns

Gu Mengping was distracted by his sudden movement, and after a second or two of being cold, he blushed and moved his hair out of someone's hand.

"What clue did you find?" Trying to pull himself back from the trance just now.

"The person is not missing, he just left under surveillance. Since he murdered premeditatedly, he must not have been unprepared." While talking, Si Qingyang took the mouse from Gu Mengping's hand again and again.

Touching with his fingertips, with a slight scorching temperature, Gu Mengping withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to the screen.

"It's not so difficult to avoid surveillance. There are too many people who can pretend now, and the disguise is nothing more than completely changing him and hiding him among the crowd." Si Qingyang stopped his hand, and a message appeared on the computer. On the screen, he turned on the slow speed again, and the screen moved slowly.

Appearing under the camera is a woman with long hair covering almost half of her face, and she can’t see her face clearly. She walks through the screen, then enters the next camera, until she walks through the last surveillance camera, there is no abnormality , but it is a bit abnormal.

The woman was wearing a long skirt, holding a bag, her walking posture, and her demeanor all showed that she was indeed a woman, but according to their investigation of the scene, the murderer was a man, and a man in his prime.

"This person is the murderer." Si Qingyang said calmly, but Gu Mengping did not deny it.

"But what we're looking for is a man!" A police officer asked in confusion.

No matter how you look at this person, she looks like a woman. There are indeed some criminals who want to avoid being hunted down and pretend to be another gender, but it is not easy for a man to pretend to be a woman. His manners and behavior can easily expose a person , The skeleton of a man is different from that of a woman, and most of the disguises are rough. If the woman in the picture is really dressed up by a man, it will be too scary.

They tracked along the surveillance route, and finally, they found that the woman had entered the building where Lei Guangyao had an accident and had never come out again.

"Maybe the murderer is a woman, who set up a trap at the crime scene, making us think it was a man." Some police officers said.

"It's a reasonable guess. It's a man or a woman. We'll know when we find out the real culprit." Gu Mengping said.

On the way to watch the surveillance, Gu Mengping once again confirmed one thing, that is, is the murderer really provoking the police, or provoking unscrupulously.He had many ways to go to Lei Guangyao's residence, drive, or change his clothes again, but he didn't, so he just walked in like this. After killing Lei Guangyao, the figure of this woman disappeared. It is very likely that the murderer still In this building, it is also possible that he changed into another form and disappeared.Anyway, the murderer is now swaggeringly killing people in front of their eyes, which is definitely not something to be happy about.

"Brother Mengping, I checked, and there is no unit that has issued such a trophy, and I also asked the people in the housekeeping company, and they said that they have never seen such a trophy in the deceased's house before." Zhou Yi brought back a The news made Gu Mengping's eyelids twitch.

"Are you sure? Maybe it's because I'm getting old and can't remember." Gu Mengping said.

"I've confirmed it. They have worked in the deceased's house for quite a long time. The bookcase has been cleaned thirty or forty times, at least, and they remember all the trophies clearly." Zhou Yi said.

"Check the donation history of the two people." Gu Mengping said to Zhou Yi.

"Why?" Zhou Yi was puzzled.

"I suspect that this thing was brought by the murderer." Gu Mengping looked at the crystal trophy in Zhou Yi's hand, it was crystal clear and exquisitely carved.

"Ah?" Zhou Yi was stunned, what kind of hobby is this murderer, and he even gave the deceased a trophy! "But the words of those two aunts alone can't prove that it was brought in by the murderer, maybe it was just brought back from this business trip!"

"Is this trophy clean?" Gu Mengping said.

"It's clean, there are no traces, let alone the murderer's fingerprints." Zhou Yi said.

"But don't you think it's a little too clean?" Gu Mengping said to Zhou Yi, curling the corners of his lips.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, thought for a while, raised his head after a while, and glanced at Gu Mengping in disbelief. Gu Mengping looked at his expression, thinking that the other party had already guessed it.

Yes, this trophy is indeed very clean, and there are no fingerprints left, but this is the problem. If the trophy has been in the house for a long time, the housekeeping company will definitely leave traces when it is cleaned. If it is newly brought back, then There will definitely be fingerprints left by the deceased, but the trophy is surprisingly clean, without any fingerprints left. Gu Mengping doesn't think that a person who has so many trophies will carefully take out something to wrap the trophies and put them in the cabinet , There are fingerprints on the other trophies in the room, but there is nothing on this trophy. It is because it is too clean that it attracts Gu Mengping's attention.

He had a strong premonition that when the mystery of the trophy was solved, they would know the motive of the murderer.

In the evening, he and Si Qingyang went to Jiang Wanning's former residence alone. She would spend most of her time with Wu Zhen, but she would come back here to live alone for a few days on a few occasions.

This is a very ordinary old-fashioned community. Jiang Wanning has lived here for many years, with one bedroom and one living room of more than 50 square meters, which is enough for her to live alone.

Gu Mengping looked at the house carefully, the furnishings were very ordinary, the house was very clean, except for some dust that had not been cleaned for a long time, other places were neatly arranged.

Gu Mengping approached the bedroom and turned on the light. Jiang Wanning's life was a bit boring, and the layout of the house was also very deserted. It didn't look like a woman's room. There were not many things, and there were not many clothes in the closet. After all, It's not surprising that I don't come back often.

Other than that, the room is full of books, all kinds of books, including business books, romance novels that little girls like to read, some esoteric philosophy books, and some comic books.

There are some photos on the table, all of them are single photos, all of which are Jiang Wanning's alone, there is nothing about Wu Zhen, no, to be precise, it is a man's thing, there are none here, it seems that this is Jiang Wanning's exclusive space.

The kitchen was cleaned up very cleanly, and the refrigerator was also very clean. The moment the refrigerator was closed, a gust of cold wind rushed towards him. Gu Mengping felt his mind cleared up a little. One row of shoes by the door was neatly arranged, while the other row was a little messy.

Nothing, no clues about Wu Zhen.

Sitting in the car on the return journey, Gu Mengping took out a cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth, but he couldn't find the lighter after touching it. Then he remembered that a certain man had confiscated all his lighters long ago, so Gu Mengping had no choice but to put the cigarette away. The cigarettes were stuffed back into the box.

"What do you want?" Si Qingyang rarely asked first.

"Jiang Wanning's house is a bit strange." Gu Mengping said as he put the cigarette case in his pocket.

"What's so strange?" Si Qingyang asked again.

Gu Mengping shook his head.

"I don't know, it just feels weird."

He couldn't say, but he just thought Jiang Wanning was very strange.

"Tell me, maybe I can give you some hints." Before the red light, Si Qingyang stopped, turned to look at Gu Mengping and said seriously.

Gu Mengping's eyes lit up, what did Si Qingyang discover?After this joy, Gu Mengping became a little irritable again. He felt that he was very powerful before, and he could figure out everything as soon as he thought about it, but now, Si Qingyang took the lead everywhere, and the apprentice was about to leave the teacher, but the master retreated Oh, how does this cheer him up!

Could it really be that I have been in love for three years!

"Don't you think Jiang Wanning is very contradictory? In the closet, there are rigid professional attire and lolita attire. The books in the bookcase are also in great contrast, and some of the shoes are neat and some are messy. According to the housekeeper, Jiang Wanning has obsessive-compulsive disorder Don't you think it's strange that her house is neat and tidy, but it's really messy?" Gu Mengping couldn't figure it out.

Is it really such a big contrast?According to the lady at the housekeeping aunt, Jiang Wanning is a strong woman, even if she follows Wu Zhen, she is also a meticulous image of a strong woman. She also wears formal clothes at home, and Wu Zhen’s closet is full of mature clothes, but Jiang Wanning’s loli dress It's still new, like it was recently worn.

"Maybe some people pretend to be what you see, but they are another inside." Si Qingyang replied.

"No, no." It's not like he hasn't thought about it, but it's too strange.

He closed his eyes and began to recall the scene he saw at Jiang Wanning's house. From the moment he entered the door, his eyes swept over every area, and then to the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen...

The pictures flashed through his mind one by one, and he thought over every detail over and over again.

Suddenly, the car stopped and he opened his eyes.

"Jiang Wanning doesn't live alone." Gu Mengping said to Si Qingyang the moment he opened his eyes. "And it's a woman."

Si Qingyang was not too surprised, because what he thought in his heart was exactly the same as Gu Mengping.

It's not because of the contrast in Jiang Wanning's personality, but because there are two people living in Jiang Wanning's house. At first, she didn't pay attention, because there are no men's things, but many things appear in pairs, which is too weird. A toothbrush, two kinds of clothes, two kinds of books, two kinds of shoes, two kinds of tableware, all things appear in pairs. If Jiang Wanning really has such a contrast in personality, it is impossible for her to have no loopholes.

"Drive back." Gu Mengping said.

"What are you doing?" Si Qingyang asked as he stopped the car in the police station compound.

"Fingerprints are collected. If there are really two people living in Jiang Wanning's house, then there must be fingerprints of two people." Gu Mengping said.

"No need to go, I've already finished collecting." Si Qingyang said after putting the evidence bag in his hand.

Gu Mengping glanced at the evidence bag in his hand, then at Si Qingyang's calm expression, and suddenly felt complicated...

It's over, he really feels like he's useless...
