delirium

Later, Gojo often thought of that exhausting midnight.After a little cleaning, they both collapsed in the bedding, with one hand still tightly interlocked.The alarm rang, and Wu Tiao looked over with a splitting headache and found that it was Xia You's cell phone.

"Wu, happy birthday."

A word that was caught off guard.Wujo opened his eyes wide, realizing that it was exactly midnight on December [-]th.

"Wait here for me." The police officer sighed wearily, and fell back on the pillow, "Okay, how old are you? It's just a year old. There's nothing to celebrate."

Xia You propped his chin and looked at him: "This is not like what Wu Hui would say."

Wujo turned over, his eyes filled with clear blue again: "Oh? You know what I look like again?"

The person who was asked about it hooked his lips and smiled, saying that he would proclaim it loudly in everyone's ears, hoping that the whole world would know that it was his Gojo Satoru's birthday.His origin and cause and effect, that was really the most important moment in the world.

When she said this, Xia You's eyes were also filled with twinkling stars.He rarely looked at Wutiao with that kind of eyes, like an ancient well buried in starlight, the waves reflecting the silver first quarter moon.It was a solemn and serious look, and when it fell on Wutiao, it was like meeting a devout believer.

"Okay," Wujo muttered before falling asleep, "Thanks."

After that they were still the same as usual, nothing was different because of this night.But Wutiao clearly heard the voice from the bottom of his heart, knowing that the big tree was dead, and perhaps there would be more lush new shoots to replace it.

fair enough.

They arrived at the police station in the morning rush hour, sorted out the piles of materials left yesterday, and continued to study the day's schedule at their desks.The juniors arrived one step later and greeted Wujo with high spirits. He yawned and moved the swivel chair back, stretching his arms and patting them one by one.

During the lunch break, Nitro made a phone call.Wujo picked it up, and his intuition told him that this was a big deal—because his heartbeat was extremely rare, and his palms were sweating a little.

"I really found out some clues about what you asked me before." Nitzi's voice was rare, and he seemed to be greatly encouraged. "I brought some people to go through the crime scene of the tenth victim the day before yesterday. Guess what?" What's the matter?"

Wu Tiao leaned against the guardrail and looked down at the ants-like stream of people on the street: "You found the body alive?"

"It fell between the desk and the floor, no wonder no one noticed..." Nitzi ignored him at all, and continued, "A hair! It's short, about three or four centimeters long. It is lighter in color and does not feel like human hair.

The clues are connected in series, and the five eyebrows move: "Is it cat hair?"

Nitro patted the tabletop: "That's right! The results of the preliminary test came out, and it was indeed cat hair. Obviously, this victim did not own a cat, and none of his close friends had domestic pets. No, this thing fell into that kind of hidden but easily overlooked corner, it is likely to be a turning point in the case!"

Prior to this, the police had never seized any items related to the suspect.If Nitrate can extract human tissue from this cat hair, it will indeed become an important element in solving the case.

After hanging up the phone, Wutiao moved his stiff shoulders and turned back to the office.He thought of the fierce words like a bell hitting a bell, and a certain sealed corner of his heart was once again filled with fog.

It's a good thing, he thought.

But what if?

On the tenth day, the decoding team also made big news.

Xia You was sent to the sub-bureau by Noctuid to investigate, and the real-time data of the electronic shackles would be sent back to five mobile phones every 5 minutes.Whenever he was free, he would unconsciously switch to the interface and watch the green dot flashing in the city branch, like a broken traffic light.

Before the forensic team released the test results, an email was sent to every member of the serious crime team.They opened the letter and found that it was a search warrant approved by the section chief: the decoding team had deciphered the complete content of the notice letter and extracted different parts of each letter.

Except for the stereotyped "who will be killed", there is always a word attached to the teaser letter.It is not clear at first glance, but when they are connected together, they form an astonishing clue-the twelve signs of the zodiac.In other words, it is a path map drawn by each main constellation that resembles the twelve signs of the zodiac.

"Thanks to Xia You's reminder, we will consider religion." After the serious crime team assembled urgently, Ye Moth projected the information on the big screen, and praised the young people who went out to work, "Thus we found the notice letter and successfully completed the deciphering. A road map through the city appeared on the screen. Wutiao took a few glances and said: "According to the order of seven days, the next victim will be killed today; and now the deciphered With the astrological map, we can accurately deduce the location of the crime scene.”

All the police officers in the room gasped: In the past few months, only the police station has been played around by the murderer. When will there be a chance to turn against the general? One by one, these exhausted people cheered up immediately, their expressions were ferociously excited—anyone who is forced to work overtime for a few months must hate the culprit who caused everything.

The criminal police brigade set off immediately, and went to the address guessed by the decoding team by three different routes—Jiangdeng Garden, No. 127, Beidun Road.

Stepping on the gas pedal, Wujo looked out the car window at the gradually cloudy sky, his heart suddenly sank uncomfortably.

Like a hunch, and his hunches are always accurate.

"Is Jie still in the branch?" He asked Jianren Nanami who was sitting in the co-pilot.Qihai called out the police station system to take a look, and found that the electronic shackles were still in the sub-station, so he replied: "Yes. He is safe, seniors don't need to worry.

Xin said that I wasn't worried about him either, Wujo looked back and turned the steering wheel to change lanes.They were getting closer and closer to Jiangdeng Garden, and the police lights pierced through the night, causing people in a hurry to stop and watch.

Dozens of police cars came to a stop, and criminal policemen with guns on their waists poured into the garden from all directions.The commissioner who had already come to investigate told Ye Moth a house number, and the section chief immediately waved his hand to let his subordinates enter the double-storey villa located in the back row of the community.

They acted rigorously, but the five who walked in the front directly smashed the glass windows of the corridor on the first floor with their elbows.He supported the table with his gloved right hand, turned over and jumped up, and landed lightly.

The leader of the serious crime team walked to the second floor with a gun in his hand, and there was a mixed sound of electricity coming from the earphones.The wave band stabilized, and on the other end was Nitro's anxious words: "Wu, can you hear me? The results of the cat hair test are out!"

Wujo stopped in front of the closed door and let out a breath.His heart was beating fast and his ribs were aching.

"turn out?"

"Your intuition is right, Satoru, you were always right!!"

He raised his gun and dodged sideways, then kicked open the wooden door with a sudden force - the curtain was lifted by the strong wind, and the moonlight poured down, illuminating the middle-aged man sitting on the big bed and the tall young man opposite him.

"...The criminal police and the forensic doctor were all wearing protective clothing when they went, and no insiders could leave traces at the scene. The cat hair must have been brought by the murderer. We sequenced it three times and only extracted the same DNA fragment—— —”

The man turned around slowly, his handsome and thin face was stained with blood, and his eyes seemed to be lacquered.

"Hi, Enlightenment." He smiled, and waved the power in his hand to Wujo.

Drill, "You are finally here.

The signal fluctuated, and Nitro's voice was intermittent, but the name was transmitted to the police officer's ears very clearly.

"It's Xia Youjie!"

The youth's ankles are empty.Wutiao raised the gun to aim, pulled the safety, but did not pull the trigger for a long time.He numbly took out his phone with the other hand and turned on the police system, but he still saw the green light of electronic shackles on the interface of the police station.

The footsteps of tactical boots were heard from downstairs, and the criminal police swarmed up, about to rush towards the prisoner with roars.Xia You threw away the electric drill, still staring at Wutiao lightly, as if they were lying surrounded by the moonlight.

Around Xiefo is not a blood-stained crime scene, but a vast blue ocean.

"Look, these things can't restrain me." Xia You pointed to the screen from the air. He always knew the five things best. "Judging sinners—this is my belief and dogma, and it is the real shackles imposed on me. You can't extricate yourself only when you profile me. Realize that you and I are the same kind of people."

Wujo put the phone back in his pocket.He was so calm that he could even retort half-jokingly: "Unfortunately, I am not the same kind of person as you. If you want to play games, you can also score ages. Those who died in your hands... it seems Not all of them are criminals."

No. 11 victim had a bloody hole between his eyebrows, his face was pale, and the bloodstains on his hands and feet pierced by iron nails had not completely dried up.

Through the icy moonlight, Xia You approached slowly, and gently moved the gun in Wutiao's hand.The silver-haired police officer looked down at him, with no emotion in his eyes, as if he had expected it.

"No, as long as you investigate a little bit more carefully, you will be able to find it." Xia You said softly, "I cleaned their sins well in the factory, using that rust-red shower head—you see Been there—bit by bit, inch by inch.”

There was a loud knock on the door one after another, and Wu Tiao swung the pistol, pressed the barrel against Xia You's chest, and slowly pressed down with his index finger.He also laughed, his eyes behind the sunglasses were like the sky, always pure and spotless.

"At least it proves my ability." The police officer smiled distortedly, "It proves that I never make mistakes."

The murderer was not surprised.He tiptoed slightly, and dropped a kiss between five dry lips.

"Come find me, chase me, find me, kill me.'"

"In this way, you can bind me forever." Xia You murmured like a curse, Xia You turned out of the window and fell on his back.
