The chicken was offended

The next day, dark clouds rolled in.

There is a lot of rain in Minghai in winter, but the scene of rolling winter thunder is really rare.

Ji Xing looked up at the full cumulonimbus cloud above his head, and quickly walked towards the destination with a pile of documents.Seeing that a rain is coming, he can't let the important materials requested by his senior be scrapped.It's a pity that the sky didn't work out as expected, and the big raindrops poured down from the void. Ji Xing could only bend his body and use his back to block the rainwater to prevent the materials from getting wet.Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, he had no choice but to stay in the security room at the school gate for a while, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the security room is moderate.Ji Xing breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and sent a WeChat message to his brother.

"Brother, it rained heavily suddenly, and the information will be delivered to you later."

"Okay, don't worry, be careful on the road."

Senior brother is so kind. Ji Xing thought that his senior brother received an offer from a well-known domestic construction company just after he came back from abroad, and his admiration for him has reached the peak. He can also reach this level.

"Eh, is it true?"

"Ah, brother, I heard what the policeman who went to the dormitory to question with my own ears, there is still a fake."

Ji Xing was dissatisfied when he was interrupted by the two security masters, but he was caught by the content of their chat.Everyone knows that a teacher died in their university recently, and he was also a teacher who was complained by students on the school forum's popular posts.

He once speculated that the murderer might be one of the people who complained about Zhang Xinhua on popular posts. He was not satisfied with hiding behind the network cable and swearing, and vented his hatred in person.

"Oh, the young people nowadays are really terrible. If they say kill, they will kill people."

"Isn't it? I'm still a medical student. I killed people before I learned how to save people. It's so muddy that I can't stick to the wall."

"At that time, if the teacher beat us and scolded us, whoever dared to say anything, he didn't even have to read the book."

"...Yes, but it seems that the murderer committed suicide."

Ji Xing was listening with enthusiasm, but saw that the rain outside the window was gradually lightening, and the sun was peeking out from the thick cumulonimbus clouds.After thanking the security masters, he walked out of the school with the materials in his arms. After all, it is serious to deliver the materials to the seniors first.

Ji Xing went to that community, found that beautiful high-rise building, and came to the door of his brother's house.Before going upstairs, he wiped the mud from the soles of his shoes, freeing his hands to ring the doorbell.

After a while, no one came to answer the door.

He had just knocked on the door when he suddenly found that the door was already opened for him.

"Brother?"

On the opposite side of the entrance was a figure sitting on the sofa.

"Senior brother, why did you close the curtains in broad daylight?" When he got close to that person, he burst into the loudest cry of his life.

"what--"

In a mid-to-high-end community in Minghai, the front police lights of a high-rise building were flickering, surrounded by residents and onlookers, all of whom were cordoned off.

Lu Yifei dragged Wang Mingcheng out of the cordon and gasped, "I can't do it anymore, I'm so nervous."

Wang Mingcheng tugged at his hand without saying a word, and sure enough, his palm was full of sweat.

Half an hour ago, Lu Yifei was called by Wu Yongyong, asking him to enter the murder scene.This was originally a violation of relevant regulations, but due to the anxious state of the case, the police had to find another way. After all, Lu Yifei and the first two victims are inextricably linked. Let him see if there is any breakthrough. indefinite.

Lu Yifei tried his best to refuse, of course, now that he is at the scene, it proves that he did not succeed in refusing.

"Hey, silly, if I faint later, don't tell them to pinch me at the murder scene, and send me to the emergency room directly."

Wang Mingcheng nodded because he didn't understand.

Yan Changhai waved to them in the guard, and explained a few words to the staff at the guard line.Lu Yifei reluctantly walked over, bent down, and got in.

"What do you mean, Officer Yan?"

"The deceased was Dong Yu who had just returned to Minghai. He was from City C and was a graduate student at Minghai University. He had just come back from an exchange abroad. It was said that he was in order to accept a project. Dong Yu, you know, is the hero in the case of jumping from a building induced by Zhang Xinhua."

Lu Yifei nodded.

"The deceased's body was discovered by Ji Xing, a student from his school. At that time, Ji Xing came to Dong Yu's home to deliver materials, but found the door of the apartment was open. When he came in, he found Dong Yu dead in the dark."

Before they finished speaking, they had already stepped into the porch. Officer Wu had heard their voices a long time ago, approached him and said, "Ji Xing, who found the body, said that he should have arrived earlier, and was trapped in the school by the rain in the morning. At that time, I chatted with Dong Yu on WeChat, and preliminarily concluded that the time of death was around 7:50 after the rain started today."

Lu Yifei's complexion was a little pale from the moment he entered the door, and an unpleasant smell lingered at the tip of his nose.He felt dizzy and nauseous as if he had been sitting on a big bus for a whole day. When he saw the man slumped on the sofa with his legs spread wide, his pants and the floor were incontinently dripping with feces and urine, he finally couldn’t bear it I rushed to the bathroom and vomited, and all the breakfast was contributed to the toilet.

Wang Mingcheng nervously wiped his mouth with paper, but there was only toilet paper in the toilet, and when Lu Yifei wiped it and found something wrong, he didn't have the strength to scold him anymore.

"Is it okay? Come and see the scene." Police officer Wu watched him vomit for a while, but was a little surprised to see the fool next to Lu Yifei still calm at the scene of the crime.

"Give me two masks, and you continue to talk." Lu Yifei took the mask, blinking at it with two big eyes focused on it.

Yan Changhai met his eyes and motioned him apologetically to walk towards the corpse.

Lu Yifei: ...

"The deceased was killed with a single knife. He was right-handed. The wound was on the chest. Its shape was similar to that of the previous two deceased. It was a narrow and thin knife, slightly longer than a scalpel. The blade was sharpened on both sides. The murder weapon was still not left behind. The scene. The blood stains extended from the kitchen to the living room and piled up in front of the sofa."

Wu courageously interjected: "The murderer is very persistent in killing people with a knife. He obviously has no advantage in killing adult men who are taller and stronger than himself because of his size."

Lu Yifei hesitated, "Yeah, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill people with a rope and poison, but using a knife will splatter blood on your body and expose yourself."

Yan Minghai saw that there was no progress in the discussion, so he made a preliminary restoration of the incident: the murderer was familiar with Dong Yu and visited in the early morning. After entering the door, Dong Yu went to pour him a glass of water. The man turned around and was subdued by the murderer with a sharp weapon that looked like a scalpel.The murderer dragged the body to the sofa and sat down in a slumped posture.

The dead body hangs its head, and the wide-open eyes and sorrow at the time of death can still be seen through the dilated pupils.The hot skin among the girls is right there, incontinent, dirty, lifeless, like a discarded doll in the corner of the stage.At this moment, handsomeness, talent, wealth, and being sought after by others become like floating clouds, and how decent they were in life is not worth mentioning in front of the life that has passed away.It was the first time for Lu Yifei to meet Dong Yu, a legendary figure in the school, but he didn't expect the meeting scene to be like this.

He also recalled previous photos of the scene of the deaths of the two victims.

The first victim, Roselle, was drenched and slumped on a chair at the counter of Jianmin Trading Company, as if she was still collecting the bills in the presence of an old god.

The second victim, Zhang Xinhua, slumped behind the podium of the multi-media lecture hall in the art building, as if he was lecturing a sold-out class.

Lu Yifei couldn't help but get excited, this murderer is not just crazy.

"Nowadays there is a popular saying on Weibo, which calls for a sense of ritual in life. Why do I feel that the murderer seems to have a strong sense of ritual in killing people? Killing people requires posture."

"Indeed, neither the first victim nor the victim where the body was found was the place where he was killed. Assuming the second victim was not, then what's the point of moving the location? Why don't you just run away after killing someone?"

"In order to delay the discovery of the body so that I can get away by myself?" Officer Yan denied it as soon as he said it.

The police had been searching for the first deceased at that time, so it was easy to think that they might go back to Jianmin Commercial House to hide. In Zhang Xinhua’s case, there were students coming and going in the art building every day, not to mention that the stepped door was wide open, wouldn’t it be easy to attract attention?As for Dong Yu, someone came to deliver the materials to him in the morning, which actually led to the discovery of the body earlier, otherwise it would have to be discovered when the cohabitant came.

It seems that the murderer doesn't care whether he can get away at all.

"Huh? Dong Yu lives in such a high-end community and is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. Does it save electricity?" Lu Yifei felt that the room was getting colder and colder, so he wrapped his cotton clothes tightly.When I first came in, I didn't seem to feel it. The longer I stood, the stiffer my body became. My ears and neck, which were exposed outside the clothes, were frozen by the wind coming in from the door, and I lost consciousness a little.Wu Yong is so fat, but he feels that the thick fat will not be used in winter, so he rubbed his nose.

Lu Yifei asked one of the forensic personnel who was taking pictures if he saw the remote control of the air conditioner.

The forensic officer was taken aback, "I didn't see the remote control. Let's turn it on after the corpse is sent away. It will affect the autopsy results."

Lu Yifei nodded obediently. Seeing his pale face and red ears, the forensic lady felt sorry for him, so she lent him a down jacket that she put aside for work convenience.

Yan Changhai stood for a long time, and said leisurely: "It's not that it wasn't turned on, but it was turned off by the murderer."

"Why is the murderer so energy-saving and environmentally friendly?"

The people around were made to laugh out of such a sudden sentence, but they took it back when they felt it was inappropriate.

Yan Changhai sighed, "You still told me that you read a lot of mystery novels, not as good as Zhuang Ming, who only knows how to read Conan all day long."

Lu Yifei's mind was awakened immediately, "You mean, the murderer turned off the air conditioner to cover up the fact that the air conditioner was turned on, and he wanted to disrupt the death time of the victim from the autopsy?"

Yan Changhai continued: "To be precise, he wanted to postpone the death determination, probably to create an alibi."

Wu Yong glanced at the witness Ji Xing who was still being questioned on the balcony, "Ji Xing said that he had received a message from the victim when the rain stopped, could it be that Dong Yu was dead at that time, and the murderer used The victim's mobile phone replied to him."

Lu Yifei and Yan Changhai looked at each other, and they both looked at the balcony.Ji Xing over there shrank his neck in fright when he saw everyone staring at him.

... It's better not to tell him this possibility.

"I checked the monitoring of the elevator and the gate of the community," a staff member came over empty-handed.A copy of the surveillance that was originally retrieved should be placed in the evidence bag.

"how?"

"The property manager said that the elevator monitor in this building has been broken for less than half a month. During this time, the special equipment and water pipes in the community have always been frozen and exploded. The owners of the community have called one after another for repairs. The maintenance master has not come to repair the monitor. Well. The community surveillance was short-circuited yesterday, so it can’t be used.”

The thread seems to be broken again.After weighing again and again, Wu Yong still arranged a wave of routine operations, looking for someone to investigate the testimony of the residents of this high-rise building and the testimony of the community security at the time of the incident.

He thought that the investigation of the case was to follow the vine, but in reality he was looking for a needle in a haystack.

The four people have been discussing there until now, only one immobile corpse is listening quietly, with its head down, as if in grief and anger why the murderer who killed him can get away with it.If his soul is still lingering, he might poke their noses and scold them.

The forensic doctor finally brought a group of people to remove the corpse, using a simple stretcher.With sharp eyes, Lu Yifei found the remote control from the gap between the cushion and the back of the sofa where the corpse was carried away.

The outstretched hand was quickly opened by Wu Yongyong's gloved hand, "Wait."

Seeing that the remote control was covered with dried blood, Wu bravely picked up the remote control and put it into a vacuum bag.Lu Yifei saw it, it was clearly an Arabic numeral "3".

The most obvious provocation from the murderer.

"Damn it, this bitch." Wu Yong kicked the toilet door.

The toilet door slammed against the wall and bounced open.
