The members of the serious crime team broke into Tracy's house. After a search, they found Cong Ying's mobile phone and a new type of electronic decoder for cars. The door can catch fire. Tao Longyue said, it seems that your inference is correct, that is, Tracy hid in Li Rui's trunk, entered the house from the underground garage, and successfully avoided the surveillance and killed Cong Ying's family. She is Li Rui's private secretary, and she can easily use this decoder to copy his password and commit crimes in her daily contact.

At the same time, there are other discoveries. Tracy has a Weibo account that she applied for a year ago. It records in detail how she loves Li Rui and hates Cong Ying. For a whole year, she poured out the love she could not ask for, between the lines. Sensitive and arrogant, he also made no secret of the idea of murder, and in the last few words he confessed to this latent and framed murder method.

Tracy's first sentence on this Weibo is solemn and sad. He is the hometown of my fascination, and the long road that I can't reach. If there is no Cong Ying, everything will be better.

After continuing the investigation, the fog gradually dissipated, and the truth of the annihilation case seemed to become clearer. Li Rui is a fixed parking space. Although the old parking lot is not fully covered with surveillance sensors, the administrator can testify that there is indeed a red Audi parked there for many days.

"Tracy parked his car there a few days in advance, borrowed Cong Ying's mobile phone to send a message to Li Rui to get the car back, then took Zhang Yuchun into his car at night, and drove to the Fanluo River, killing people and framing them. , Zhang Yuchun was just a random scapegoat. This woman is really amazing, if it wasn't for Tan Bo accidentally involved in this case, whether Zhang Yuchun was dead or alive, she would have been freed." Facing such a deliberate arrangement, Tao Longyue was amazed. , "The case is finally settled. Judging from the content of Weibo a year ago, Li Rui didn't know about it, but Tracy's motive was clear, and he knew that the matter was about to be exposed, so he committed suicide by committing suicide."

Xie Lanshan frowned, Shen Liufei said nothing, they seemed to be very worried and were not convinced by this conclusion.

Tao Longyue asked: "Why, the two of you still have doubts? The car is a completely closed space. Tracy apparently committed suicide by burning charcoal after getting drunk. She killed a family for love, a terrible woman."

Xie Lanshan asked back, "Haven't you seen John Dickson Carr?"

Tao Longyue didn't understand: "What? What Michael, what Jackson?"

"John Dixon Carl," Captain Tao didn't know Van Dyne and naturally didn't know Carl, the "King of Secret Room Reasoning" in the United States, Xie Lanshan almost rolled his eyes, "Please, brother, read some books."

"This kind of speculative novels are all nonsense, and practical operations are simply useless." Tao Longyue pouted, sophistry, and was quite angry, "Besides, why are you pretending to be a literate person here? You didn't like reading before, let alone Shapo. With Doyle, you can't tell Jin Yong and Gulong apart, if Song Qilian didn't give you a cheat sheet every time you take an exam, you might not even graduate from high school—"

Xie Lanshan was beaten like a snake by seven inches, sneaked a glance at Shen Liufei, and hurriedly said: "The hero doesn't mention the old age, don't expose my shortcomings in front of Teacher Shen."

Shen Liufei didn't have time to listen to the routine bickering between the two. He looked back at Ding Li, and said very politely, "Please take a roll of wide tape, and then ask your colleagues around if there is a high-power car vacuum cleaner."

Ding Li quickly borrowed a small rechargeable car vacuum cleaner, and Shen Liufei found a car in the city bureau and personally demonstrated the secret room technique.

"John Dickson Carr, an American mystery novelist, has a novel called "The Reptile House Murder", and the murder scene in it uses this kind of tape chamber technique. After the murderer faked the suicide scene, he used tape to cover the car with tape. All the doors and windows inside were sealed, leaving only one window, half of which was sealed with tape, and then the murderer escaped from the open window, and adjusted the position of the tape while pressing the key to raise the window. , and finally, leave a gap when the window is not raised to the top, and align the air inlet of the vacuum cleaner with this gap…”

Shen Liufei turned on the vacuum cleaner, and with the rumbling sound of the motor, the half of the tape left behind the gap was quickly absorbed and firmly adhered to the window glass.

The chamber is perfectly formed.

"As long as there is a car key, if the tape doesn't stick once, it can be adjusted or repeated," Xie Lanshan added, "You said that Tracy could get Li Rui's car key through his personal secretary, and conversely, Li Rui also Same."

"So, Shen Huasheng, Shermes, what about the evidence?" Tao Longyue quickly regained his ability and professionalism as a police officer after being stunned for a while, "Personally, I admire your extensive knowledge of books and your amazing skills. Coincidence, but you have to know that just what you said just now, once Fu Yunxian goes to court, one Fu Yunxian is enough to acquit Li Rui, and also, how do you explain to the uncles of the Second Branch of the City Procuratorate? People ask you for evidence You said no, only reasoning."

Xie Lanshan was successfully choked back by Tao Longyue. The leader of the Public Prosecution Division of the Second Branch of the Municipal Procuratorate was named Tang Yichuan. The police officers of the gang were also strict and merciless, acting like an uncle.

Just at this time, Xiao Liang came to report, and after verification and analysis by technicians, a few pairs of shoes taken from Tracy's house were compared in detail, and they were completely inconsistent with the footprints extracted in the back garden of Cong's house.

Unexpected and reasonable, which explains why Tracy set fire to the monitoring room unnecessarily, because she didn't set it on fire at all. That night, there were others at the crime scene.

Captain Tao was a brainless man. Xie Lanshan told him about Li Rui's motive and method of murder, and he responded with Fu Yunxian and Tang Yichuan. Xie Lanshan couldn't make sense with him at all, so he opened the car door and drove people out of the car.

"Bum," Xie Lanshan dragged Tao Longyue from the back seat of the car, "I will discuss the case with Mr. Shen tonight, don't lower our average IQ with your lead-filled head."

Captain Tao didn't have time to react, but the army green SUV had already sped away, with an additional handful of black exhaust.

The location is still Shen Liufei's residence. Xie Lanshan said that the discussion of the case is false, and that the temple was scratched by the wine bug. The last time Latu was not fully enjoyed, the fruity and smoky wine was filtered through the mouthpiece and reached the heart. , how strange its scent, how fraught its camaraderie—in short, he thought of it.

As soon as he stepped into the building, the administrator greeted Shen Liufei, called him Teacher Shen, and said that there were a lot of little girls, like chasing stars, and gave you something.

Shen Liufei's public welfare art course had just ended, and those female students were reluctant to part, racked their brains to find out his address, and sent flowers and gifts. Bunch of flowers, mostly fresh roses, with sparkling water droplets hanging on the petals, are as bright and bright as the 28 girls.

Seeing Shen Liufei's unhappy face, the administrator thought he was unhappy, and said that the little girls had to wait for you to come back, so I asked me to persuade them to go back, and I'll throw all these things out for you.

"No need, I'll bring it up." Shen Liufei was always polite, even though he claimed that he didn't like roses, he still took the things brought by the female students upstairs.

"You really don't throw it away?" Xie Lanshan asked him, "Don't you like it?"

"Leave it for a few days," Shen Liufei said, "thank you and then throw it away."

Xie Lanshan thought this man was interesting, again. Some people are silent because of their clumsiness, others are silent because of their ignorance. Xie Lanshan knows that most of the time he doesn't want to talk just because he is lazy, but this person is clearly gentle in heart, but he wants to make a cold appearance that refuses people a thousand miles away, and he doesn't know what to do. .

When the meal time was approaching, Shen Liufei personally cooked and entertained the distinguished guests with his actions.

"Take some scissors for me, please." The main course was steak, and Shen Liufei was going to prepare the chicken bones in his hand, and then make a chicken bone broth. Washing hands and making soup for Iraq, Teacher Shen has wide shoulders, long legs, and an apron tied around a slender waist. The picture is really beautiful.

Xie Lanshan followed the owner's instructions and took out the special chicken bone scissors from the drawer of the kitchen cabinet. As a result, the other party just turned around to pick up the scissors, but he suddenly raised his arm and threw the scissors directly at Shen Liufei's face.

This attack caught people off guard, but no matter how good their eyesight was, they could only see the shadow in front of them. Xie Lanshan didn't even have time to see the other side's turning movement into his eyes, Shen Liufei was already holding the scissors, and pressed the sharp serrated tip against his throat - he used his unusual left hand to pick up the scissors.

"Sharps are very dangerous." Shen Liufei was expressionless, his eyes were as cold as sharps, and his voice could not hear the ups and downs of emotions.

The scissors were only a few millimeters away from piercing his carotid artery, Xie Lanshan carefully moved his neck away from the tip of the knife, still smiling calmly: "Your skills are better than that kid Lao Tao, I know you definitely don't. There will be danger."

"I'm talking about you," Shen Liufei chased after him with the scissors, still touching the front of Xie Lanshan's throat, and said lightly, "I probably killed you just now, out of self-defense."

Xie Lanshan pointed down with his eyes and smiled: "Not necessarily."

Shen Liufei followed the instructions of the other party and looked over, but he didn't know when this man was holding the knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was touching his abdomen at this moment, with a posture of dying with you at any time.

Not expecting the other party to have a backhand, Shen Liufei also laughed, let go of Xie Lanshan, and returned to the stove to work again.

This whimsical attempt actually led to additional discoveries. Xie Lanshan said, I never knew you were left-handed.

"Yes, no." Shen Liufei easily changed his left hand holding the scissors to his right, and lowered his head to continue cooking. It seemed that he could use his left and right hands flexibly.

It was dark outside, and at the top of the tall buildings, the sky was so close, like dark satin, it was extraordinarily dense and vast.

Foie gras, oysters, and half-cooked steak are better paired with red wine than Tan Bo's spicy hot pot. Xie Lanshan, who only eats pancakes and instant noodles on weekdays, feels that his taste buds have been inspired, and those days were all in vain.

"Great kindness, great kindness," Xie Lanshan sincerely praised the other party's cooking skills after eating such a satisfying meal in his life, "If I were a girl, after this meal, I would definitely show my respect and swear in this life. Unless you don't marry."

"Forget it, you'd better thank me in another way." Shen Liufei took a sip of red wine and glanced up and down at Xie Lanshan, looking at Xie Lanshan critically. , that's revenge, not gratitude."

Being teased is not annoyed at all, Xie Lanshan immediately thought about it, reached out and broke a rose from the bouquet sent by the girl, and handed it under Shen Liufei's eyelids: "Give it to you."

Facing the roses handed by Xie Lanshan, Shen Liufei remained motionless: "This is the most insincere 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha' that I have ever seen."

"That's it." Xie Lanshan bit the rose into his mouth, raised his chin slightly, and brought a face closer to Shen Liufei.

Xie Lanshan's teeth are very white, there is a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes are crystal clear.

Shen Liufei was slightly startled, this man's face was handsome and striking, and he had an indescribable deterrent power. He thought, this is such a beautiful person, irrespective of gender, yearning and awe-inspiring.

Immediately, he leaned closer to Xie Lanshan, lowered his head, and attached his own lips.

The foreheads almost pressed against each other, the lips brushed against each other, and the breath blended together. Xie Lanshan was completely stunned, and allowed Shen Liufei to take the rose he was holding with his lips.

Shen Liufei held the stem of the rose with his fingers and gently pulled it between his lips. He avoided the needles and kissed a warm and moist tooth print - that was where Xie Lanshan was biting just now.

In the end, he put the rose on his left hand, and still said expressionlessly, "Thank you."

It took a while for Xie Lanshan to return to his senses. He coughed awkwardly and asked a not-so-smart question: "Why... cough... why don't you like roses?"

"Artists often refer to women as roses," he paused. "I don't mean anything else, women are nice, just—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Shen Liufei stared at Xie Lanshan intently.

Xie Lanshan understood no matter how straight he was thinking.

It's just that you don't like it.

They discussed the case just now at the dinner table, and reached a consensus that even though Zhang Yuchun was short, he was still a man, and it would be too difficult to let Tracy, a woman, complete the work of carrying and discarding the corpse. They tend to have other participants in this case, but the most crucial shoe print has been slow to find the true owner.

Perhaps inspired by Shen Liufei's actions and words just now, Xie Lanshan suddenly reacted: "Because Cong Ying once disclosed to you, she also mentioned in her friend's chat record that she was sexually harassed at work, and because of this Being intimidated and stalked, we have always regarded this woman as the wife of one of her superiors or a female relative, and we have searched almost all the relevant people and still have not found it. But maybe we are misled by common sense, why can't the sexual harassment of Cong Ying be a woman? ?"
