After arriving at the new place, all the cells in Lin Qian's body immediately became alert.He first felt the surrounding environment, listened carefully to the sound, looked around, and patted Jiang Ran after he was sure it was safe.

As a result, after a few shots, Jiang Ran didn't respond at all, and both hands were still firmly holding his arm.

Lin Qian glanced at Jiang Ran who was sleeping soundly, and pinched his waist hard.

Jiang Ran woke up in an instant.

"Ah! What's the matter, what's the matter." Jiang Ran exclaimed.

Lin Qian quickly covered his mouth and said, "Shh, keep your voice down."

Jiang Ran's eyes widened, and he whispered nervously, "Are we here?"

Lin Qian nodded.

After calming down, Jiang Ran glanced at the system, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "You're not dead yet."

Lin Qian nodded.

Then, Lin Qian whispered, "Go over there and have a look, I'll go over here."

Jiang Ran said, "Okay."

As a result, before the two of them started to act, they heard a shout: "Who!"

When Jiang Ran and Lin Qian heard this sound, they immediately stopped. Jiang Ran really stopped, but Lin Qian quickly took out the pistol on his body.

That action stunned Jiang Ran.At such a dangerous moment, he was still thinking, it turned out that the films he shot in the past were all fake, and they were all good-looking. In this critical moment, the action of drawing a gun is always so fast that people Caught off guard.

"Police! Don't move, raise your hands!" Lin Qian said sharply.

"Police...police...police...police?" The man only opened the door of the bedroom a little bit, but when he heard Lin Qian say that he was a policeman, he immediately let go of the hand on the door in fright, and his hands were loose. Unconsciously raised it to the head.

"I didn't break the law. Why did you come to our house at night?" After the man realized it, he felt that he was too cowardly. He filtered the things he had done, and there was nothing that could bother the police to come to their house late at night. .

In the darkness, although he couldn't see the man's face clearly, Lin Qian listened to the other person's voice and looked at the other person's figure, but he didn't look like Tao Xu at all.Lin Qian was slightly surprised.

"Go a few steps forward and come out." Lin Qian pointed a gun at the man and said, "Turn on the lights at home."

The man came out tremblingly, approached the door directly, and said, "The lamp is over there."

Lin Qian motioned to Jiang Ran, and Jiang Ran immediately fumbled in the dark to turn on the light.

The moment the light came on, the three people in the room could see each other clearly.

Not Tao Xu.

It was Jiang Ran.

"You... you... aren't you that star? Why did you come to our house? Are you the police?" the man asked suspiciously.However, there was a gun pointed at him, no matter it was true or not, he did not dare to act presumptuously.

Lin Qian was keenly aware that there seemed to be nothing unusual here, but if there was nothing unusual, why did he and Jiang Ran come here?

"Is there anyone else in the room?" Lin Qian asked.

Then, he took out his ID and showed it to the man.However, although the man had read the certificate, he could not be sure of its authenticity.

Therefore, he didn't dare to tell Lin Qian the truth. He looked at the relatively familiar Jiang Ran, tears were about to flow, and said, "Who are you guys and why are you here? Aren't you a good person? It was clearly reported on.”

Looking at the man in front of him, Jiang Ran didn't think he was a murderer. How could there be such an honest and timid murderer.He glanced at Lin Qian, tried to keep a smile on his face, and said, "Yes, I am indeed Jiang Ran, and I am also a good person. Have you read the news? I am actually a policeman, and this is my ID. So , You have to believe us. We have received a report that there is a murderer here, tell us, who is in the house?"

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, the man finally relaxed, and shed a few tears, saying: "Who is there, just me, my wife and children."

Lin Qian and Jiang Ran looked at each other, and motioned for the man to open the door for his wife to come out.

After a while, the man's wife came out.

Lin Qian ordered Jiang Ran to look at the two people, and went to the house to look carefully inside and out, but found nothing unusual.

Jiang Ran had a bad premonition in his heart, frowned, and whispered, "Could it be a neighbor within ten meters?"

Lin Qian also thought of this possibility, called the head of the household, and knocked on the door opposite.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and after knocking for a long time, the opposite door finally opened.A man looked at everyone sleepily. After Lin Qian checked his ID, he was about to go in and check it out, when he heard a scream.

"what!"

The voice came from the house they came out of just now. When the man heard the voice, he moved faster than Lin Qian, and immediately ran to the second bedroom.

Lin Qian and Jiang Ran followed closely behind. When they arrived, they found the man's eight-year-old daughter sleeping in the second bedroom looking out the window in horror.

"Linlin, what's the matter, don't be afraid, dad is here."

Lin Qian quickly ran to the window and took a look outside. They were on the fourth floor, and by the streetlights outside, they could clearly see a woman lying on the ground.Blood soon flowed from her head.

"No, hurry up and call the police and an ambulance." Lin Qian said.

After speaking, he rushed out.Jiang Ran thought for a while, and followed behind.

This residential building has a total of six floors. Based on the distance of ten meters, there is a possibility of murder on the fifth, sixth, and top floors.

However, based on experience, Lin Qian chose the most favorable place, which was the roof.No matter whether the murderer is on the fifth floor, the sixth floor or the top floor, as long as he escapes, he will definitely be able to see it from the top floor.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, but instead of following, he stopped on the fifth floor and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

After the fifth floor was opened, nothing happened, and Jiang Ran ran to the sixth floor amidst the surprised expression of the head of the household.

At this time, Lin Qian's voice was heard from the roof: "Stop."

Then, Jiang Ran saw Lin Qian climb down the water pipe from the window of the corridor, quickly descended to the first floor, and ran in one direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran also ran down.

After going down, Lin Qian could no longer see anyone.

Looking at the person lying on the ground, Jiang Ran trembled and touched his nose, feeling a little heavy.Looking at the system again, sure enough, the person is dead.Just a little bit, just a little bit!

Jiang Ran looked at the corpse of the young woman in front of him, and his hands gradually clenched into fists.Now, he is not like before, he is afraid when he sees a dead body.But these turned into another emotion, grief and helplessness.Obviously he has such a powerful golden finger, he can accurately travel to the vicinity of the crime scene, but he just can't save everyone.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ran felt a lot of powerlessness in his heart, and sat down on the ground with tears streaming down his face.

This is what Zhao Sheng saw when he brought people over.

"Jiang Ran, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Sheng asked with concern.

Jiang Ran turned his head and wiped away his tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. By the way, Lin Qian went after the murderer. The deceased should have fallen from Xihu on the sixth floor. Go and have a look."

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he immediately signaled everyone to go up quickly.

Lin Qian's side was also in trouble.

After going up to the top floor, Lin Qian didn't see the murderer, but when he looked downstairs, he saw a person not far away who was about to leave on a motorcycle. His figure was very similar to Tao Xu. With a loud shout, when the man turned around, it was indeed Tao Xu.

According to the range, Lin Qian's gun couldn't hit him at all.

After Tao Xu probably killed the man, he jumped out of the window and fled immediately when he heard the yelling.Moreover, he has transportation.

By the time Lin Qian went downstairs, Tao Xu had long since disappeared.

Thinking of that damned system, even if he checked the camera, he might not be able to find someone, Lin Qian's hands gradually clenched into fists.

However, although the camera cannot find the person, the human eye can see it.

So, thinking of this, he immediately contacted the traffic police brigade and dispatched all the traffic police on duty to search for Tao Xu in a large area of ​​Ning City.Tao Xu was originally a wanted criminal before, so everyone has his photo in their hands.

Soon, a lucky traffic policeman saw Tao Xu speeding past on a motorcycle.Followed closely behind.Tao Xu found that the police were following him, and quickly moved to the side road.

He seemed to be very familiar with this area. In the dark night, he turned around and left the traffic police behind him behind.

Then, when the police found his motorcycle, the people on it had already disappeared.

Until dawn, the police who had been busy all night did not find Tao Xu again.

That night, Tao Xu successfully killed someone, so his figure was never captured by the camera.

However, although Tao Xu was still not captured this time, the scope of the search was narrowed down based on where Tao Xu killed people and the scope of his previous activities.

Moreover, Lin Qian also found clues on the motorcycle wheel abandoned by Tao Xu.

Since Ning City entered winter, it only snowed once a few days ago.And the snow has already melted away.However, some of the dirt on the motorcycle wheels were dry and some were wet.It seems to have gone to some muddy places.

However, according to the police who found him yesterday, they did not go to some difficult dirt trails.Moreover, in the urban area of ​​Ning City, it is very difficult to find a dirt path.

After squatting down, Lin Qian quietly observed the marks on the tires.He stretched out his hand and took off a piece of soil and smelled it.

As a result, something unusual was found in the dirt.

After smashing the mud, Lin Qian went to dig some mud from other places, and looked at the tires carefully.After reading the front, look at the back.

Looking at Lin Qian's serious look, Zhao Sheng was a little puzzled.

Could it be... have you found any evidence?

After checking the wheels, Lin Qian stood up, spread his palms, and said to Zhao Sheng, "In this season, where else are there such maple leaves in Ning City?"

Zhao Sheng looked at Fengye's eyes and said, "On the mountain?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately understood and said, "I'll check right away."

"The deceased, female, aged 27, Zhen Ting, was a primary school teacher and shared the apartment with a female colleague. But last night when the colleague returned home, she was the only one at home. According to reports from colleagues and neighbors, she usually doesn't like to eat Takeaway, and I don’t do much online shopping. I have never met Tao Xu. However, she usually has a hobby of climbing mountains. Every weekend, she likes to go hiking around the surrounding mountains. Sometimes she invites three or five friends, and sometimes she goes alone... ..."

"What mountains has she climbed recently?" Lin Qian asked.

"In the past three months, I have climbed Fengshan, Beishan, Xitingshan, etc. Among them, I have been to Fengshan and Xitingshan twice each. I went to Fengshan last week."

Lin Qian glanced at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Shengdao: "Today I went to check these mountains. There were no maple trees planted on Beishan Mountain, so there were no maple leaves. But Fengshan Mountain and Xiting Mountain were all planted with maple trees, especially Fengshan Mountain. The maple leaves are still gone. Although there are few Xiting Mountains, there are also."

As he spoke, he showed several photos, saying: "Besides, from these photos, it can be seen that the snow on the mountain has not completely melted, and some places are very muddy, and there are indeed traces of being run over by wheels. However, due to people There are more people coming and going, and there are more wheel marks, so it is not certain that Tao Xu must have been to these places with his motorcycle."

Lin Qian looked at the picture, nodded, and said, "Yes."

"Next, first, check the surveillance videos near these mountains to see if Tao Xu and Zhen Ting have appeared. Then go visit the people who work in the mountains and ask if you have seen these two people .”

"Second, check the surveillance cameras near Zhen Ting's house, as well as the surveillance cameras on Zhen Ting's commute to and from get off work, to see if there is Tao Xu in the video."

"Third, check the taxis that appeared near the place where Tao Xu abandoned his car last night, check to see if Tao Xu took a taxi and left there..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the mountains on the map, especially Xiting Mountain, which was very close to Jiang Ran's crew.Similarly, it is also very close to a house that Tao Xu rented before and the place where the body was dumped.

Staring at the mountain, Lin Qian thought for a long time in silence.

In the evening, when Lin Qian went back, Jiang Ran was already at home.Moreover, for the first time, Jiang Ran neither watched TV outside nor read scripts, but slept in bed.

When Lin Qian walked into the bedroom, he saw that Jiang Ran had wrapped himself up like a wombat, with no part of his body exposed.

Hearing the sound of Lin Qian walking in, Jiang Ran moved a little.

Lin Qian thought that Jiang Ran had woken up, but after a while, Jiang Ran didn't intend to lift the quilt except for moving a few times.

Seeing this, Lin Qian frowned, for fear that Jiang Ran would overwhelm himself.

"Jiang Ran?" Lin Qian called out.

Jiang Ran's voice came from under the quilt, saying, "Yes."

Lin Qian realized that something was wrong with Jiang Ran's mood, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ran lifted the quilt and said, "It's nothing."

Then he sat up and asked, "What time is it?"

Lin Qian raised his wrist to take a look, and said, "08:30."

Jiang Ran rubbed his hair and said, "It's so late." After finishing speaking, he muttered that he wanted to read the script, and ran to the living room.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, after reading the script for a while, Jiang Ran felt that he couldn't enter the state for some reason today.After seeing a few words, I started to lose my mind.

After struggling for a while, I simply stopped looking down.

Glancing at Lin Qian who was sitting aside with his legs crossed and reading a book seriously, he asked, "Lin Qian, when did you start working as a policeman?"

Lin Qian took his eyes away from the book, looked at Jiang Ran and said, "It's been ten years since I entered the police academy."

"How did you feel when you saw the victim die in front of your eyes for the first time?" Jiang Ran asked.

Seeing that Jiang Ran was finally willing to confide in his heart, Lin Qian closed the book and said seriously: "I feel that I am not suitable for this profession, maybe I shouldn't be a policeman. I thought I was an omnipotent person, but in the end I found that I couldn't do anything." There are too many things. I began to doubt my ability. My self-confidence was hit a lot.”

As he spoke, Lin Qian thought of the self-righteous, self-confident self who thought he could solve everything, like a great hero.

Young and frivolous.

It wasn't until I experienced many things later that I gradually honed my temperament, and I was no longer so impetuous and self-righteous.

Jiang Ran didn't expect to hear such an answer.He thought that Lin Qian's mental journey would be different from that of ordinary people...

"However, this feeling only lasted for less than 3 minutes. Next, it was more disgusting towards criminals, and I was more determined to be a qualified people's policeman." Lin Qian said.

Jiang Ran thought to himself, this is the Lin Qian he knew.

"What if you obviously have the ability to save people but fail to save anyone?" Jiang Ran asked.

Lin Qian looked at Jiang Ran's decadent appearance, and knew why he was in such a mood today, and said, "Jiang Ran, are you talking about today's events? You have to remember that we are not gods, even if we are a people Police, first of all we are alone. No one knows what the murderer will do next, and no one knows who the murderer will kill next. All we can do is do our best to protect all the people we should protect .”

Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Well. Although I understand the truth, I just hate myself. I hate myself for not discovering the murderer earlier, and I hate myself for not saving the person. It's only a few minutes away, and we are just a few minutes away. You can save her. But she still died in front of us."

Speaking of what happened today, Lin Qian felt no less helpless than Jiang Ran.As a people's policeman, he felt that he was very dereliction of duty.Even though he was so close to the criminal, he still let him escape.

Looking at the silent Lin Qian, Jiang Ran also remembered this matter. Lin Qian felt more sad and blamed himself than him.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't say such things." Jiang Ran said, "But I just hate myself for being incompetent. It was the same with Gao Bin last time. Obviously I have exercised and am ready to fight the murderer, but The reality is, before I could make a move, the murderer had already killed the person."

Lin Qian said: "Jiang Ran, this is the reality. If we can catch every potential murderer, if we can predict the foresight, there won't be so many murders in the world. Taking a step back, if Without this system in your body, it would take us longer to investigate this case. Even, we don’t even know that the retired old teacher has died, and this may become a headless case.”

"Besides, we may not find out about Tao Xu's case. Judging from the location of his murder and his habit of throwing his corpse, he did it very secretly. The corpse is soaked in the smelly ditch. If it takes a long time, it will be difficult to find it at all. It’s a dismembered corpse. At least, we now know that Tao Xu was responsible for the dismembered corpse case of the Lake View Resort, the Fengshan Riverside case, and the fall of the sixth-floor female teacher.”

After Jiang Ran heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that I have some uses."

Lin Qian looked at Jiang Ran's slumped expression, shook his hand, and said, "Jiang Ran, look into my eyes. You are not only useful, but also very useful."

Jiang Ran blinked the tears in his eyes, looked at Lin Qian with shining eyes, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lin Qian."

"You're welcome. If you're in a bad mood, go take a shower and sleep. After you wake up, everything will be fine." Lin Qian said.

Just as Jiang Ran wanted to get up, he looked down at the script in his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm in a better mood now, let's read the script first. I haven't watched the filming of tomorrow yet."

After speaking, Jiang Ran picked up the script and read it.

Lin Qian looked at Jiang Ran's appearance and shook his head with a smile.

A person with a pure mind has a lot of ups and downs in his emotions. He is easy to be happy and sad.

After reading the script for a while, Jiang Ran went to take a shower, and he lay on the bed after the shower.

When Lin Qian came out of the bathroom, Jiang Ran's breathing was already very steady, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Qian picked up the red string on the table, and tied it around the arms of the two of them just in case.

After tying it up, he turned off the light on the bedside and lay down under his quilt.

As a result, as soon as he lay down, he felt something warm hanging on his arm.

"Jiang Ran?" Lin Qian tried to call out.As a result, the other party did not respond at all.

Although Lin Qian knew that Jiang Ran was in a bad mood today, Jiang Ran had already slept next to him for two nights, which made him very uncomfortable.In winter, he didn't want to take a cold shower early in the morning. After all, it was not good for his health.

Thinking of this, Lin Qian pushed Jiang Ran.

Never thought about it, didn't push it away.

Not only did he not push away, but the hand holding his arm was even stronger.

"I'm in a bad mood." Before Lin Qian's hand touched him again, Jiang Ran said aggrievedly.

Hearing Jiang Ran's sad voice, Lin Qian said helplessly, "Well, it's the last time."

After hearing this, Jiang Ran unconsciously smiled, rubbed Lin Qian's cotton pajamas, and fell asleep peacefully.
