When A Snail Falls in Love

The vast mountains, the greenery is vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance. But on the mountain-crossing road, it is not as silent as usual.

Cars hanging by "XX TV" and "XX Newspaper" continued passing by. There is also a group of college students who ride or hike up the mountain, the atmosphere is noisy and tense.

Ji Bai frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Han hung up the phone and replied: "The question is clear: it was a group of students who first discovered the body, and the deceased was also a college student. Now the entire city of Lin has spread. These are volunteers from several universities who have to go up the mountain to participate in the arrest. Hu they have been persuading."

Although the police stopped most of the people at the foot of the mountain, there were still many people who climbed the mountain before the police set up roadblocks. There were several media cars jammed on the narrow mountain road, and college students in twos and threes were also everywhere.

It was already afternoon for Ji Bai and others to "break through the encirclement" and rush to the incident. Both reporters and students were stopped outside the blockade and clamored. When I saw Ji Bai and others, the flash light kept on. Some students asked aloud, "When will the police catch the serial killer?"

Ji Bai sullenly answered, leading several senior criminal policemen and Xu Xu to the Chen Corps Point.

This is a secluded cave. The police searchlight illuminates the cave, and the corpse lies deep in the cave with the same posture and the same quiet face.

Dahu has been running in the forest area for several days. When he saw the crowd, he immediately stepped forward: "The deceased is called Shen Hongmiao, and Lin is a senior student."

Da Hu briefly talked about the reason: It turned out that Shen Hongmiao was a member of the Linda Outdoor Sports Association. He went hiking alone on the mountain ten days ago. The forest area is too big, and the police do not know where she entered the mountain. Two days ago, after the scheduled return date, the classmates found that she could not be reached. They spontaneously organized a search and rescue team into the mountain and also contacted the local police. They didn't expect to find her body soon. I don’t know which villager to listen to, because more than one person has died, so it’s a big deal.

Ji Bai followed Lao Wu and Xu Xu to the body. The forensic doctor has completed the preliminary identification and said to them: "The initial determination of the time of death was from 8 to 10 last night. Like the previous two bodies, he died of potassium cyanide poisoning and other injuries are basically the same."

Xu Xu asked: "Is the murderer likely to delay the time of death?"

Forensic shakes his head: "Impossible. Potassium cyanide is a special toxin. It dies instantly after 58 seconds, and there will be specific reactions on the skin and eyelids. These reactions will not change due to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Therefore, the estimation of the time of death is relatively accurate."

Everyone is quiet. Looking at the corpse again, I saw a lot of messy footprints scattered in the surrounding soil, and Hu frowned, "It was left by the students."

Lao Wu is an expert in tracking footsteps. He squatted down and looked carefully along the edge of the corpse. After a while, he raised a flashlight and pointed at the land on the waist of the corpse: "Do you look familiar? "

I saw a shallow footprint in the semi-hard and loose soil. Xu Xu immediately flipped out of the information bag and photographed the footprints next to the second body. Old Wu did a little exploration and nodded: "The footprints and patterns are exactly the same. It was left by the same person."

Da Hu looked at Ji Bai: "Boss, does it really look like Lin Qingyan?"

Ji Bai didn't answer. Old Wu stood up and said: "That's not necessarily, there are currently two possibilities: First, Lin Qingyan is indeed innocent; Second, Lin Qingyan also has an accomplice."

Xu Xu was frowning, staring at the body and said, "This possibility is too small...how could this be?"

Everyone looked at it and only listened to her extremely stern saying: "From the murderer's way of committing crimes, he attaches great importance to establishing an intimate relationship with the deceased. This relationship is personal, private and exclusive. And from the criminal history, Almost all of these psychopaths go it alone, and sharing is meaningless to them.

But if Lin Qingyan has no accomplices, it means that there is a second person, who is completely in line with the criminal's portrait. In other words, at the same time, in the same place, and in the same case, there are two people who match the specific portrait? This probability is really..."

Before she finished, Ji Bai interrupted her with a deep voice: "Xu Xu, come back to the physical evidence."

Xu Xu felt sad, and saw him calmly looking around for a week, saying: "This case is more complicated, we don't make any assumptions for the time being, it will mislead our thinking, we only look at the evidence.

Now what I know is: 1. Judging from the time of committing the crime, it must be another person who killed Shen Hongmiao. 2. Shen Hongmiao entered the mountain ten days ago, and his body was found today. During this period, our police force around the mountain area did not find suspicious vehicles coming in and going out. This shows that the murderer imprisoned her house, right in the mountains.

I will immediately apply for police force and search the entire mountain area. Find the murderer's nest and everything will fall into place. "

Everyone was shocked, and Xu Xu was suddenly bright. Ji Bai's cell phone rang at this time, and he answered: "Director... Yes, I understand, I will come over immediately." I hung up the phone and said, "I'm going to the province and report directly to the governor and the provincial public security department. This case. Old Wu, you’re acting for me for the time being. In addition, the Criminal Investigation Team of the Provincial Department should take over this case."

Everyone nodded, and Zhao Han asked: "The side of the bureau said that Lin Qingyan's detention time is over, and they can only let people go first."

Ji Bai nodded faintly, turned around, walked a few steps back, and glanced at Xu Xu. Xu Xu nodded at him, indicating that he would take care of himself, and then he strode away.

Shortly after Ji Bai left, the criminal police had just finished surveying the scene. Sure enough, the news came: The captain of the provincial criminal police team will personally arrest the case, and Ji Bai will be his deputy.

It was already dark when the captain of the provincial team brought people to the scene. A car police was also transferred from other cities and counties. The captain communicated the command of the director: All the people were dispatched, even if the mountainous area was turned over, the murderer must be found.

In the evening, Xu Xu, Lao Wu and others hurriedly finished their meals and began to equip bulletproof vests and batons. Xu Xu watched the thick body armor tracking the mountains and took a long and violent run. For a moment, she did not wear it, but went to the command car of the provincial captain in front of him to find him.

As soon as I walked in front of the car, I saw the captain holding a mobile phone and called: "Why didn't your wife get pregnant early? I still called me because of what happened. Yes, this understanding. I let her stay behind and take care of the logistics... …"

Xu Xu stunned slightly, his heart warmed, and turned and walked back.

Xu Xu saw Ji Bai again, it was already the next night.

On this day, the mountains and mountains seemed to have been quiet, and the students were persuaded to leave; the media was also regulated, and only dozens of newspapers and magazines were allowed to enter the mountains and operate in specific areas. The Provincial Department also hopes that they can make some objective positive reports to appease citizens' emotions.

Hundreds of police forces are scattered in the mountains and keep track of them. It's just that the mountainous area stretches for thousands of kilometers. Without ten and a half months, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate. There was no progress for a while.

It was late at night, and they all went out. Xu Xu lives in a row of farmhouses temporarily requisitioned at the foot of the mountain. Police logistics personnel and media personnel stayed here overnight. She slept awkwardly and heard Ji Bai calling outside the house: "...Yes, I just arrived at the foot of the mountain. Well, then I'll wait for your car to pick you up."

Xu Xu immediately sat up and saw Ji Bai pushed open the door and walked in. The moonlight was hazy on his face, he looked tired, but his eyes were bright and sharp.

"I'll rest for a while and leave immediately." His voice was a little dumb.

Xu Xu got out of the bed and poured him a glass of water. Ji Bai put her in his arms and drank the water in one gulp. He asked softly, "Are these two days all right?"

"nothing and you?"

"What can I do?" He smiled slightly.

The two stood still for a while, Xu Xu said, "I have been thinking about this murderer these two days, but I still can't figure it out."

Ji Bai has been on the road almost for the past two days. He also reports at the provincial office. He has no time to think deeply about the case. After she said this, she simply nodded: "There is still some time, let's analyze it carefully. What about paper and pen?"

Xu Xu immediately pulled out a pen and paper from under the pillow, and by the way, several photos of the murder. Ji Bai thought of the child in her belly, and could only smile bitterly in her heart and touch her head.

Xu Xu listed the previous screening conditions for the murderer. Ji Baining watched, thought for a moment, and looked up at her: "What did that sentence say? Eliminate all the impossible, the remaining one, even It’s incredible, and it’s the truth.”

Xu Xu nodded.

Ji Bai: "So, although you said that there are two people who meet the description at the same time, the probability is very small. But the fact is this. The second person must exist. We caught him. Lin Qingyan's problem and the truth of the case will both Solve it."

He took the pen from her hand and sketched one by one: "Last time you said the screening conditions, I always thought it was right. You see, some conditions are parallel, but some cannot be screened, for example, we can count The list of'people who have recently suffered from serious illnesses' cannot count the'people who have suffered huge setbacks in their recent careers.' So this person must have been missed here."

Xu Xu was shocked and his brain turned fast. He didn't wait for him to finish on the paper, and he blurted out: "So, this person is a forum expert who has suffered a huge setback in his career recently and the "Angel Case" was probably a college student. We don’t have records of his frequent visits to and from the forest area in the past few months because he lives in the forest area, so he is very familiar with the forest area! And you said yesterday that he still has a house in the forest area!"

When she finished, Ji Bai just scratched the paper, and the two looked down at the paper, exactly like what she said!

The two looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. Ji Bai got up and called: "I am Ji Bai, check immediately: working and living in the mountain area, 2226 years old, graduated from university, recently degraded or punished. Of men, 42 feet in size, have a working car and independent housing, and may be public officials such as forest rangers, mountain teachers, firefighters, patrol officers..."

Over the phone, the police in charge of information technology in the bureau was a little puzzled: "Ji Team, who are you looking for? You all know so well..."

Ji Bai: "Give me the fastest answer."

Hanging up the phone, he said for a moment, "I'm gone."

Xu Xu: "You pay attention to safety."

He glanced at the environment outside the door. This is a small farmhouse, quiet at midnight, and black. He turned his head to look at Xu Xu: "Now the identity of the murderer is unknown. It is safer to have a police patrol nearby. You should stay in the house as much as possible and don't move around casually."

Xu Xu nodded.
