River Breeze Night Sparrow

Six o'clock in the morning.The construction workers who went to work have already arrived at the construction site; now most of the women workers from the garment factory are filing out from the community.There were three or four breakfast carts lined up at the entrance of the community, selling tea eggs, pancakes and pancakes, and the smell of soy sauce wafted in the air.

After the traffic of battery cars and bicycles gradually disappeared, a beautiful and capable Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road looked even more abrupt, even a little aloof.In the car, there were two handsome young men, frowning at the same time.Sitting behind was a slightly fat woman, who was holding a breakfast bought from a small stall, yawning and eating so much oil.

Jiang Yi has been looking at Unit 3, Building 2, Hongqiao New Village for 10 minutes, without saying a word, as if thinking about solving a puzzle.

Lin Lin couldn't help asking: "Why do you keep staring at other people's windows?"

Jiang Yi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Did you find out? The curtains on the third and fourth floors are exactly the same."

"This is also a common thing."

"No." Jiang Yi frowned, as if he had discovered something even more strange. "It's just too weird."

"What's the matter, boss, just tell me!" Ye Yuan was anxious.

"Li Fengping lives on the fourth floor. The windows on the third floor are very old, and the glass looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. On the fourth floor, Li Fengping's home has new windows. Zheng Youlan said that three years ago, the walls of the house were only painted and some of them were replaced. Furniture, it’s not necessary to change the style of the windows. The windows on the fourth floor should be the same as the old ones on the third floor.”

"But what does this mean?"

"Did you see the dead potted plants on the window sill on the third floor? The style of those flower pots is exactly the same as the flower pots seen by Li Fengping's house."

"Most of the people living in Hongqiao New Village are migrant workers. Those who know how to grow plants are mostly elderly people. If they are elderly people, they have nothing to do at home every day. They just tend to flowers and plants. They don't have to raise so many pots to death. Put it on the window sill for others to see. And remember, Zheng Youlan said that the flower pots in her house were bought in Dongcheng a few years ago, and it is very unlikely that this style of flower pots can be bought here. Within a radius of two kilometers, I have never seen any shops selling flowers and green plants, and there are no street stalls."

"Captain Jiang, what do you mean by...?"

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Although it sounds a bit scary to say, I'm wondering whether Li Fengping lives on the third floor or the fourth floor."

The police led people to break in, and there was an overly quiet atmosphere in Room 3, Unit 2, Building 301, Hongqiao New Village.

The layout here is exactly the same as that of Room 401, except that the walls have turned yellow, and the TV is still an old brand from many years ago.

The smell of blood hung in the air.In the living room there is a large bookcase with stacks of newspapers.Next to it was a pair of scissors, and some shredded newspaper fragments.

They pushed open the deepest room, and saw an iron bed standing impressively in the center of the room, with several hand-saws of different lengths beside it; and several rulers, also neatly arranged together.There was also a pile of tailor's chalk on the ground, which, like the ruler, was used by the murderer to mark the body when dismembering it.

The traces of blood on the ground have dried.The murderer seemed to be very confident in the secrecy of this "base", and just did a simple rinse.

After Luminol's blood reaction, except for the visible bloodstains, the whole room was actually covered in bloodstains.Standing at the scene where the crime happened, and seeing all the cruel and terrifying things, all the people present felt their scalps go numb and gasped.

The DNA test results came out.The fresh blood on the ground is Sun Lixia's blood.The old traces of blood came from Liu Yingze, Xu Jinlan and Wang Wenwen many years ago.In addition, there is some animal blood and hair here, which may come from cats, dogs and rabbits.

The newspaper clipping killer who has been lurking for many years finally surfaced!

Li Fengping's arrest was swift and smooth.Zheng Youlan watched as her demented husband was taken away by the police, but it was the first time for this weak woman to confront someone head-on.

"Let go of him! Old Li can't even bear to hurt a bug, how could he kill three people? How is it possible?"

How could this honest man who was praised by everyone in the factory be a serial murderer who killed three people?

Jiang Yi showed Zheng Youlan the autopsy report just sent from the forensic room.

"This is the skeleton of an unknown woman discovered earlier in Liji. DNA identification shows that it is Li Fengping's wife, Jiao Feiyan, who ran away from home ten years ago and was reported missing. Aunt Zheng, you are wrong. Li Fengping didn't kill three people, but at least four people."

Zheng Youlan's scalp was numb, and she sat down on the sofa, digesting this series of shocking news.She wept bitterly and almost fainted.

Although Jiang Yi couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do.

Now there are trickier things to do.On the one hand, Li Fengping’s mental state is problematic, and how to get him to plead guilty may be a difficult problem; on the other hand, it is certain that Li Fengping committed the three cases that year. Whether this year’s 917 case was also committed by Li Fengping, and if so, what is his state? And how did he commit the crime?If Li Fengping's jaw is clenched, the police must investigate and obtain more evidence.

At the same time, it is suspicious that only Sun Lixia's fresh blood can be found here in the "old nest", but Xu Xiaoli's blood is not found here.Sun Lixia's case can now be merged with the serial murder case many years ago, so what about Xu Xiaoli?

In Xu Xiaoli's case, did the murderer suddenly change his way of committing the crime, or did he imitate the murder?Where is the scene where the murderer killed Xu Xiaoli?

At the same time, this series of events gave Jiang Yi a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what went wrong.He looked at the documents on the table and frowned.

After working overtime these days, everyone is extremely tired.After Li Fengping was arrested, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.Although there are still some doubts about Xu Xiaoli's case, Jiang Yi still told everyone to go back to get a good night's sleep, but he stayed in the office to continue sorting out clues.

Lin Qiu deliberately returned to the office after get off work, only to find that the lights were still on in the office, but there was no one there.There was only one man lying asleep at a table.

When Jiang Yi fell asleep, he still had a strong sense of defense.His brows were furrowed, and his body seemed to be tense. His fists were half clenched, as if he could punch hard as long as he opened his eyes.

Lin Qiu gently moved the precarious water glass on Jiang Yi's table to a safe place, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.He was just here to get some materials back, but for some reason, he sat on his seat and watched Jiang Yi quietly for a long time.

Jiang Yi's face has not changed much from when he was a teenager. It can only be said that he has become more angular, more mature and handsome. A little stubble will grow on his chin, and he will also show the burnout that teenagers don't have after staying up late.At this time, those sharp eyes that were usually sharp like nighthawks were closed, so they were a little more amiable than usual.Jiang Yi's nose was very similar to Mr. Jiang's, very straight, and his profile was as smooth as a sculpture of a mythological figure.

At this moment, Lin Qiu suddenly saw the corners of Jiang Yi's lips slightly raised, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.He hurriedly picked up his things and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yi.

"Lin Qiu, isn't this bad? I know you've been peeping at me for a long time, and you still have to buy a ticket to see monkeys in the zoo. Why don't you just leave without saying hello?"

Lin Qiu looked back, only to see Jiang Yi smiling half-smile, although it was teasing, but it didn't mean to make fun at all, and he was a little... smug.

Lin Qiu's tone was a little blunt: "I'm just looking for information."

"Did you find it?" Jiang Yi's smile was filled with the words "You're making excuses".

Lin Qiu squinted her eyes, but said nothing.There seemed to be some missing details about the Liji Snack Bar, but Lin Qiu couldn't find it after a quick glance.Originally, because Jiang Yi was sleeping, he didn't want to make too much noise, but now Jiang Yi turned around and "bited Lu Dongbin".

Seeing that Lin Qiu's face was not looking good, Jiang Yi hurriedly accepted it and said, "Then what, Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I just want to trouble you. I am really tired recently. Let's abide by the traffic rules and dare not drive tired. , can you please take me home?"

Lin Qiu looked at Jiang Yi's deep eyes, and indeed saw the unconcealable exhaustion in them, he couldn't help but feel soft.

This is Lin Qiu's first visit to the apartment where Jiang Yi usually lives alone.

Jiang Yi was really tired, and fell asleep in the co-pilot just now.He remembered the information about Li Ji that Lin Qiu had just said, and remembered that he had put it in his study, so he thought about it a little bit more, and asked Lin Qiu to sit down by the way.

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the door, he tidied up while walking, saying: "The house is a little messy, sorry, I don't like tidying up very much. Teacher Lin, please sit down first, and I will go to the study to get the materials for you."

Lin Qiu said "Hmm", but she was secretly looking at it.

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the apartment, there was a family photo at the entrance.There are quite a few shoes in the shoe cabinet, but these are the few pairs that seem to be worn frequently.There are many disposable shoe covers in the shoe cabinet, and there is only one pair of slippers that I often wear, and the other sets of slippers are not women's models.

Lin Qiu rolled his eyes, and Jiang Yi came out, handed him the relevant information, and brought two glasses of juice from the kitchen.

"That's all at home, I'm not well received, please forgive me."

Seeing that Lin Qiu was looking at it just now, Jiang Yi rolled his eyes, and said, "What, Mr. Lin is analyzing my home? My home is just like this, it's messy, and it fits my own style, doesn't it?"

Lin Qiu looked into Jiang Yi's eyes and said softly, "Really, Jiang Yi." The handsome man on the opposite side paused.Then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he leaned back on the sofa, showing an expression of eagerly listening and willing to hear more about it.

"The overall style of your apartment is deserted. Although it looks a bit messy, from the shoe cabinet to the kitchen utensils to the tabletop, the utensils are all neatly placed, at least in a very convenient position. It can be seen that every time you use them up, you will Organize. Although there will be some clothes on the sofa and chairs, these are not dirty clothes, nor are they thrown away randomly and wrinkled into a ball, but as if someone put them there specially, trying to create a life with a messy appearance breath."

Jiang Yi, you... are actually very lonely.

Lin Qiu didn't say these words out of his mouth.

Seeing the meaning in Lin Qiu's eyes, Jiang Yi didn't feel embarrassed, but felt relaxed as if his mask had been taken off.He wasn't even annoyed, and smiled at Lin Qiu, as if he was relieved.

"Ah, I was still seen through by Mr. Lin. As expected of Professor Yue's favorite student, I know that he has a good analysis, and I can't hide it from you." Jiang Yi walked over and put away a few coats, and said while putting them away. Still rambling on and on like trying to untangle the embarrassment.

"We met once before, and we talked about the psychiatrist. You have also seen a psychiatrist before, right?" Lin Qiu asked softly.

Jiang Yi paused slightly and nodded.He shrugged his shoulders: "It's not a big deal." Then, as if remembering something, he winked at Lin Qiu, "That's what I said, but the old man is old-fashioned and can't understand the pressure of young people. Teacher Lin, don't Tell him, lest he get upset."

Lin Qiu nodded.

"However, I didn't go to see it afterwards."

"Why?" Jiang Yi's current state of life is not very optimistic and positive.Jiang Yi said: "Because, it's useless."

"Why do you want to see a psychiatrist?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then grinned.He looked at Lin Qiu with a malicious smile in his eyes, and said, "Teacher Lin, if you talk about such a private topic, then we will be good friends in the future. You will also answer my question when the time comes."

Lin Qiu stepped into a trap by accident and was about to escape, but Jiang Yi opened his mouth first. "Because, a case. Because of that case, maybe I killed my master."

Jiang Yi said: "In the recent case of murder and mutilation, you should have learned a little bit about the situation from Professor Yue. In fact, there were four cases of dismemberment that year, and the newspaper clipping killer only committed three cases, and the fourth case was a copycat homicide." The imitator was a college student from Normal University. He killed his ex-girlfriend and tried to frame the newspaper-cutting killer. But the method was too shoddy and was quickly discovered by the police. When we arrested him, he took a hostage on the street When I got to the roof, I still had an earthen gun in my bag. In the end, it was my problem. The prisoner shot, and my master was shot in the body to protect me. In addition to his own physical reasons, he died soon. "

"That's why I'm particularly sensitive to copycat crimes."

When Lin Qiu came out of Jiang Yi's house, he was stiff.

He still remembered how happy Zhu Xingao was before going out in the dormitory that day.Holding a bunch of baby's breath stars, he said he would give it to Su Ting. "From now on, I will send Su Ting a bunch of baby's breath every month. One day, she will definitely accept me."

Later, Zhu Xingao came back disheartened, saying that Su Ting missed the appointment.From that day on, Soutine began a long six-year absence in his life.Three days later, Zhu Xingao became the killer of the dismemberment case and was shot dead by the police on the spot during the confrontation.

There is a paragraph in Zhu Xingao's suicide note: "... I want to apologize to a good brother of mine. He was so good to me, but I hurt him because of my own feelings. But I don't regret it."

In Su Ting's last years, Lin Qiu asked Su Ting whether Su Ting killed that person or Zhu Xing'ao."If we all have blood on our hands, the answer to that question won't matter," Soutine said.

Is it really not important?Lin Qiu didn't know.
