Memory Lost

Chapter 27: Dark tide has arisen

Views:

Midnight.

Jin Xi is sitting in the police car alone, holding a soft leather notebook, and is writing with her head down.

"Serial Killer T:

1. Male, 25-35 years old, with a strong body and ordinary appearance;

2. Education: high school or college degree;

3. Disguised occupations: computer engineers, clock technicians and other technical jobs; with junior and intermediate vocational certificates;

4. Address: a mid-range residential area between the 2nd and 3rd rings of the city;

5. Drive a black Dongfeng Citroen-Sega;

6. Major emotional shocks in the past three months, such as the death of a loved one or relative;

7. Life and death have been put aside, and the possibility of terminal illness cannot be ruled out. So it will do whatever it takes to complete its plan. "

After thinking about it, she wrote below: "Finding the connections and commonalities between the victims and mastering his behavior patterns is the only way to crack the plan."

At this moment, the car door next to him opened, Xiao Zhuan breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in.

"The whole family is not there, and they don't know where they are when they ask the neighbors. It may be too late to turn off the phone. What should I do now?"

Jin Xi thought for a while: "There is no other way, just wait here."

Xiao Zhuan nodded, and the two looked at the residential building in front of them together. The family of Zhou Sihan, the ex-girlfriend of the deceased young drug addict Chen Xixian, lives there. It's just that at this moment, the lights are dark.

I've been busy today, and everyone who can ask has asked, and I have surveyed all the places I can go. Except for the seemingly "not doing a proper job" on the surface, no connection between the two victims has yet been found.

Everyone understands that Killer T will definitely kill another person at noon tomorrow. They are now racing against T, racing against time to find out the rules before he kills.

So, you need to dig deeper.

Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan came to investigate Chen Xixian's ex-girlfriend who died in a car accident; Nag went on the train overnight to intercept the deceased Zheng Chengzhi's brother Zheng Chengda, who was rushing back from another place; coldly went to check on Chen Xixian's relatives in his hometown from other places; Han Shen is tracking down Killer T's vehicle information.

"Xiao Bai, why did you cry when you ran this afternoon?" Xiao Zhuan said.

Jin Xi was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at him: "I'll tell you, but keep it a secret."

"Um!"

It was getting darker and darker, and the huge parking lot was quiet, probably only the two of them were there.

After Jin Xi finished speaking, she leaned her head back into the car seat and looked ahead.

Xiao Zhuan's face became very calm, looking at her without saying a word for a long time.

"Xiao Bai, give me a hug," he said, "I didn't expect you to be so infatuated."

At this time, a car came in in the parking lot and parked in another driveway far away from them. According to the data, the Zhou family had no car, and it was estimated that it was a resident who returned home at night. Jin Xi doesn't care too much, she smiles and says, "Why are you so provocative?"

Having said that, he reached out and hugged him.

The two were quiet for a while, and Xiao Zhuan patted her on the back: "Don't worry, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If we meet that Zhao or something in the future, we'll beat him every time we see him."

Jin Xi chuckled, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a figure approaching from behind their car.

Then... parked outside the car.

Tall body, handsome face. His dark eyes stared at them through the car window.

It wasn't Han Chen.

Jin Xi's eyes matched his, her heart trembled slightly, she pushed Xiao Zhuan: "Okay."

Xiao Zhuan was indignant for her in her heart, and said sullenly, "Hold me for a while. Ah, this will make me feel more at ease."

Han Chen glanced at her again, raised his hand and knocked on the car window.

Xiao Zhuan turned around, saw it was him, was stunned for a moment, and immediately let go as if in a conditioned reflex.

"I rely on..." he whispered.

Jin Xi laughed: "What do you rely on?"

The two pushed the door and got out of the car.

Han Chen leaned against one side of the car door and watched them approach. His gaze swept across Xiao Zhuan and landed directly on Jin Xi's face. After a while, he turned his head and looked ahead.

He was tracking the vehicle information, and he passed by here to have a look.

As a result, the two were seen hugging each other.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it with his head down, flicked the match, and flicked it precisely into the trash can by the roadside, turning his head to look at them.

Xiao Zhuan: "Boss, why are you here? Let me tell you that the Zhou family is not here, and I don't know where they went. We are here to watch."

Han Chen nodded, took a breath, put the cigarette between his fingers, put his hand on the car door, and turned to look at Jin Xi: "I'll stop by and have a look, I'll leave right away."

Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan said "oh" at the same time. You look at me, I look at you. Xiao Zhuan deeply felt that he was probably misunderstood, but it was Bai Jin Xi's secret that he couldn't explain, so he simply opened the car door and sat in: "Boss, I'll take a nap first, so that I can meet tomorrow's challenge in a better state. !"

"Bang" the car door closed, Jin Xi cursed in her heart and looked at Han Chen again. He leaned against her and didn't move, his face was indifferent, and he didn't look at her, as if he really just smoked a cigarette and left.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

Jin Xi also went to pull the car door: "I'll go back to the car and take a nap..."

"When I came, one or two were sleepy?" he said suddenly.

Jin Xi looked into his eyes: "Uh... not very sleepy." She released the car door, walked around halfway, walked to his side, leaned against the car door, and looked ahead.

Han Chen continued to smoke without speaking.

The moon was overhead, the open-air parking lot had only a few soft lights, and the residential buildings were blurred at night. Jin Xi raised her head, looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly flashed in her mind, this afternoon, he pulled her up from the ground and wiped her tears.

She was silent for a while, and then asked, "How's the car check?"

Han Chen looked ahead, closed his eyes slightly, and took a breath.

"Not very good. The car was found. It was a black Sega, but it had a fake license plate. The surveillance camera caught him disappearing at a fork in the road, and he was lost behind him. The traffic control department is still doing its best to investigate."

Jin Xi didn't say a word. In fact, she also had a hunch that it would not be so easy to chase a car in such a big city, especially if the other party was a master criminal. It was a big breakthrough that Han Chen was able to lock the car through the clues on the spot. The next step is to look at the efficiency of the traffic control department.

Still a race against time.

But, which serial shooting case in history is easy to detect? This is different from other serial murder cases. The murderer shoots at a long distance, and there are very few clues left at the scene. It is almost impossible to solve the case quickly. In many sniper cases in the United States, the death toll was more than 10 before the FBI arrested the criminals; not to mention domestically, 11 people died in the case of Zhou Kehua, which caused a sensation across the country.

At noon tomorrow, it is very likely that another person will die.

She exhaled lightly.

In the distance, at the gate of the community, a few passersby stopped in front of a small stall, and there was a faint scent.

Jin Xi stroked her stomach and said to herself, "I have to go ahead and get some supper." Just as she was about to say "see you later" to Han Chen, she saw him put out the cigarette butt and throw it into the trash: "Let's go. Bar."

Jin Xi looks at his profile: "...Okay."

When the owner of the barbecue stall saw another guest, he was very enthusiastic: "What do you want to eat? Everything! My place is clean and delicious. Look, so many people come here at night."

Jin Xi is the most knowledgeable about roadside stalls, she looked around, nodded earnestly, and started pointing the same way.

The boss smiled and held the ingredients, then looked at Han Chen: "What do you want to eat, young man?"

Han Chen put his hands in his trouser pockets and glanced at the various ingredients on the stall: "I don't need it anymore."

Jin Xi smiled, "Boss, how much is it?"

The boss calculated it and waved his hand proudly: "Sixty-two yuan, I'll wipe it off for you!"

"Okay." Jin Xi reached into her pocket and felt for the money, when she saw that Han Chen also reached into his jacket pocket, took out his wallet, and took out a note and handed it to the boss.

Jin Xi hurriedly handed over the money: "I'll give it myself."

As soon as Han Chen raised his arm, he blocked her hand and handed the money to the boss. The boss got the change, he put it back in his wallet, and put it back into his pocket, as if it were a natural thing.

Jin Xi picked up a bunch of baked balls, took a bite, and said nothing.

Baked in no time.

Jin Xi also ordered something for Xiao Zhuan, so she carried it in her hand, and the two walked back, she ate while walking.

It was already one o'clock at night, and on a long boulevard, only the two of them were walking side by side. The lights came from behind, casting long shadows on the road.

There is the fragrance of flowers and plants around, but more intense is the strong fragrance in her hands.

It was the middle of the night, Han Chen was a little hungry, and he was a little distracted by the smell. So he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and then raised his eyes to look at Bai Jin Xi beside him.

She is eating grilled chicken wings.

As a beautiful woman, she still looks more gentle when she eats. His right hand grabbed a napkin and pinched the end of the bamboo skewer. His mouth was not wide open, he took a light bite, then pursed his lips and chewed with relish.

It's just that he eats it faster. With such a delicate way of eating, he kills a bunch of chicken wings and throws the bamboo sticks into the trash can. Then he stuck out his little tongue, licked his lips, lowered his head and pulled out another bunch of mushrooms, one at a time.

Han Chen smiled when he saw it, slowly raised his hand, and took a breath.

Jin Xi used to eat too much, but now she realizes that Han Chen seems to be staring at her all the time. She bit a shiitake mushroom and turned to look at him.

He smelled of tobacco, and his face was a little hazy under the streetlights. Those eyes were extremely dark, looking at her through the faint smoke.

Jin Xi is slightly startled, and raises the roast in her hand: "Do you want it?"

In fact, she just said something casually, thinking that he would definitely refuse, but his eyes fell on her hands admiringly.

"Pick the best one for me." He lowered his head and took a deep breath, switching the cigarette from his right to his left.

Is this ready to eat

Jin Xi was inexplicably a little excited, and immediately lowered her head and rummaged through the lunch box, and then plucked out a bunch of chicken wings for him. After thinking for a while, I took another bunch of leeks, which Xiao Zhuan likes to eat. I thought that Xiao Zhuan couldn't help it. I rubbed the leeks on the surface of the chicken wings and wiped off all the peppers.

Han Chen took it, took a bite, and looked down again.

Jin Xi: "Is it delicious?"

"Um."

Jin Xi smiled slightly.

Han Chen quickly finished eating and threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can by the roadside.

"anything else?"

He took a breath and shook his head.

Jin Xi is almost done eating, her hands are behind her back, and she walks forward with him.

Both were silent, only the sound of footsteps on the road.

As soon as Jin Xi lowered her head, she saw the shadows of two people, side by side on the road. His shadow is just like himself, tall and beautiful. Broad, well-proportioned shoulders, straight legs. There are also slender arms, hanging down by the side.

For some reason, Jin Xi subconsciously raised her eyes to look at his hand hanging by her side.

He was wearing a black jacket, and his palms, which were exposed outside, were even more white and articulated. With a cigarette in his left hand and an empty right hand...

Jin Xi's palm suddenly dripped with sweat.

She was stunned by the thought in her mind.

She thought that it was really Moon Black Wind, a man and a woman, but she wondered, would he hold her hand

Immediately, as usual, she inserted her free hand into her pocket.

While Han Chen was smoking a cigarette, the surroundings were very quiet, and his eyes fell on the two shadows on the ground.

Then she saw Jin Xi put her left hand back into her pocket.

He breathed out a faint puff of smoke, then looked up ahead.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the parking lot, Han Chen's cell phone rang, it was from Nagging.

He picked it up and waved to Jin Xi who was waiting beside him, motioning her to go first.

Jin Xi nodded, she still has to go and deliver barbecue to Xiao Zhuan, it won't taste good when it's cold. The two walked in different directions.

Han Chen walked to his car, looked up, saw Jin Xi walking back to the police car from a distance, opened the door and sat in.

Han Chen also got into the car.

Nagsaw called to report on the search for Zheng Chengzhi's younger brother, Zheng Chengda.

"Boss, I haven't found anyone yet." His voice was a little helpless, "Zheng Chengda didn't take the train. He heard from his fellow villager that it was to save money. For some private passenger cars, I have to check them one by one. I have already had people keep an eye on them at the Lanshi bus station, and as soon as I find them, I will bring them back and ask.”

"Yeah." Han Chen asked him about other situations. After hanging up, he called Leng Nian, Qin Wenlong and others one by one to ventilate.

Put down the phone, it's two o'clock, more than half an hour has passed.

He leaned back in his chair, picked up a bottle of water, and took a few sips.

Now can only wait. Wait for any clue to break through.

Looking up again, Jin Xi's car looks quiet.

He was silent for a while, then pushed the door and got out of the car.

As soon as she walked to the back door, she saw Jin Xi with her eyes closed, leaning on the back seat, already asleep. When Xiao Zhuan in the driver's seat heard the movement, he pushed the door and got out of the car: "Hey, boss, we all thought you were gone. Xiao Bai was asleep. I was on duty in the first half of the night, and she was on duty in the second half of the night. Is there anything? Do you want me to wake her up? "

"Need not."

Han Chen briefly told him about other aspects of the situation in a low voice, and finally told him to report the Zhou family as soon as they found any traces.

Xiao Zhuan hurriedly agreed.

Han Chen glanced at Jin Xi in the back seat again and asked, "You just let her sleep like this?"

Xiao Zhuan Zhang Er was at a loss, looked at her, and said hesitantly, "Ah, how do you sleep, she always sleeps like this..."

Han Chen put his hand on the car door and looked at Bai Jin Xi: "Okay, you can go do your own thing."

Xiao Zhuan let out an "oh", then sat back in the car, put the laptop on his lap, and continued to search for information.

Han Chen looks down at Bai Jin Xi in the car.

It's autumn, the weather is cool, and the windows are open. Instead of lying flat, she leaned crookedly in one of the seats. She was wearing only a thin sports coat, her shoes had been taken off, and her legs were curled up to reveal white socks. One hand rests on his face, the other hugs his knee.

Han Chen took off his jacket, opened the car door, bent over to go in, and covered her.

She was motionless.

Han Chen put his hands on the seat and looked up at her face.

This was the third time he saw her sleeping face. She was still the same as she had imagined. When she fell asleep, she didn't look as bright and dazzling as when she opened her eyes.

Han Chen smiled silently, and just as he was about to get up and leave, Jin Xi seemed to be getting a little hot, snorted, frowned, and moved.

Then the hand on the knee slowly slid down.

It just landed on the back of his hand.

Han Chen suddenly looked up at her face. And she didn't know what she was dreaming, her brows slowly stretched out, and then her five fingers gently grabbed his palm and didn't move.

He was silent for a moment, wanting to draw his hands. Who knew that just as soon as he moved, Jin Xi's hand gripped even tighter, clasping his five fingers deeply into his palm.

Firmly, as if afraid of losing it.

Xiao Zhuan lowered his head and worked for a while, only to realize that Han Chen hadn't left, but sat down in the back seat with one hand on the car door, smoking a cigarette, his face indifferent, as if he was thinking about something.

He also saw that he was wearing only one shirt and the jacket was covering Jin Xi, and he felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he cared too little for his partner!

"Boss, do you think this case can be solved?" he asked in a low voice.

Han Chen took a breath and replied, "Yes. The key is time."

After saying one sentence, Xiao Zhuan's heart became heavy, and he sighed.

Han Chen smoked slowly and looked at the night outside the window.

And under his black jacket, Jin Xi's hand still holds his hand tightly. She didn't move, and neither did he.

In my mind, I suddenly remembered the scene this afternoon.

The grass-roots detective Bai Jin Xi, who has always had a high expression on her face, crouched on the ground in the setting sun, holding her knees with both hands, crying so sadly.

And when she raised her head, he saw her tearful eyes, and suddenly felt a tingling in her heart. When he pulled her up from the ground, it was only a fraction of a second, and he would hold her in his arms.

It's not that I'm not tempted, it's not that I'm not tempted.

So she stopped replying to her text messages later, and everything was calm again.

She came to him again.

temptation again.

He wanted to maintain the relationship between superiors and subordinates like this, and he could keep a clear distance from her. He had confidence in his sanity and self-control. Over time, the temptation and temptation of the moment will fade away.

She was crying in front of him like this.

He turned his head and looked at her face quietly.

Did she also have unforgettable people and feelings in her heart? So sad to cry.

Deep in my heart, I don't know where it is, and it hurts a little bit slowly.

He looked out the window again.

After smoking for a while, the back of her hand turned silently, and her hand completely fell into his palm, and he held it back.

When Jin Xi woke up, Han Chen had left early. Only seeing the jacket covering him, he sat up slowly and folded it for him.

After Xiao Zhuan handed in her shift, she started to sleep soundly. Jin Xi got out of the car and walked around, feeling refreshed, sat back in the car, and continued to monitor and wait.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the hard work paid off. In the crowd of people at work, I finally saw the Zhou family of three walking in from outside the community.

Jin Xi slaps Xiao Zhuan awake, and the two run over.

Zhou's father was carrying a plastic bag with the words "City People's Hospital" in his hand. It seemed that he had just returned from the hospital. Mother Zhou looked very tired, with her youngest daughter Zhou Silin beside her. According to records, she is nineteen years old this year, three years younger than her deceased sister Zhou Sihan.

Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan showed their documents, Zhou's father was very puzzled: "Comrade police, what's the matter?"

Jin Xi replied: "Uncle Zhou, that's right. I'm sorry to bother you, your eldest daughter, she had a boyfriend named Chen Xixian..."

She just mentioned the name when the expressions of the three of them changed. Father Zhou turned to look at his wife: "You take Si Lin up first."

Mother Zhou nodded, Zhou Silin also looked at Jin Xi with a complicated look, and went upstairs with her mother.

Father Zhou turned to look at them: "Comrade police, that beast has nothing to do with our family. You have to ask, find someone else!"

His voice was stern, and he turned to leave. Xiao Zhuan quickly stopped him: "Uncle! Chen Xixian was killed yesterday!"

It worked. Father Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and his expression was a little shocked. But his next reaction was completely beyond Jin Xi's expectations.

He laughed, the kind of laughter full of hatred and pleasure: "It's great! It's great! God has eyes! It's good to die, it's too good to die. I'll go back today and have a good drink, old man. God has eyes!"

Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan look at each other.

His steps were staggering. Jin Xi grabbed his arm: "Mr. Zhou, why? What grudges do you have with Chen Xixian?"

Father Zhou looked at her, his eyes slowly turning red: "Everyone is dead, I'm not afraid of shame. Comrade police, if it wasn't for the scourge of Chen Xixian, how could my daughter die? If it wasn't for his drug use, ask my daughter for money. How could my daughter get caught by a few thugs on the way to send money in the middle of the night... She has been refusing to call the police, and we endured it and asked her to cut off contact with the beast. But then she became in a trance, and it didn't take long for her to stop communicating with the beast. If there is a car accident... If one such person dies, one less scourge to society. What are you investigating? Whoever kills him will be the benefactor of my Zhou family!"

When driving away from the Zhou family downstairs, Jin Xi looked up and saw the three Zhou family members, all standing on the balcony, looking at them from a distance, unable to see their expressions clearly.

Xiao Zhuan pondered for a while, and said, "I didn't expect this level to exist. Zhou Sihan's death was indirectly caused by Chen Xixian."

Jin Xi has been frowning and pondering. Hearing this, she takes out her mobile phone, and just as she is about to call Naga, who knows that on the screen of her phone, Naga's call comes in.

"Bai Mei, I've already stopped Zheng Chengda and questioned him in simple terms!" His voice sounded serious, "No, under my pressure, Zheng Chengda's emotions became very excited. He actually treated him My brother is very opinionated. He said that my mother has always been in good health and walked very carefully. He firmly believes that her death was not an accident, but that my brother pushed his mother down the stairs in order to monopolize the house and compensation for the demolition and relocation!"

Jin Xi's heart suddenly trembled.

Yes, indeed it is.

They noticed before that the two deceased people had recently died of people close to each other, and they felt that there must be some connection between them, so they came to dig deeper into these two lines.

Although it is not known how Killer T finds these targets from the crowd, his killings are not as simple as targeting useless people.

He is for punishment!

Just now, Father Zhou said that Zhou Sihan was raped on his way to deliver money in the middle of the night. Jin Xi has been a police officer for many years, and she knows very well that some drug addicts have lost their humanity. Such examples have happened many times. In exchange for drugs, men deliberately set traps and let their women suffer.

In this way, the two people killed by T are likely to bear human life, but have not been punished by the law.

"Go find Han Chen right away!" Jin Xi said, "I found the pattern!"

But... it may be too late.

12:10 noon.

In various districts of Lan City, there are police patrolling everywhere. Every camera in the city's traffic and public places is closely monitoring the surrounding dynamics.

All members of the Black Shield Team and the Criminal Police Team are scattered in various urban areas to assist the police in their jurisdictions.

But this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"boom".

A crisp sound of breaking the air, I don't know which corner of the city sounded. Not known by others, not known by the police.

Only the young girl lying on the ground beside the sofa at home was twitching, blood pouring out of her chest.

fifteen minutes later. Everyone in the Black Shield team received a call—

"The third victim appeared. Her name is Chen Chuanliang, she is 21 years old." The detective who reported the situation said, "She is related to a traffic accident in December last year. It is said that she was drunk driving and killed a little girl. Later, the family spent money and found a friend of hers to take the blame. There was a lot of controversy on the Internet at the time. So the police who rushed to the scene after receiving the report recognized her on the spot. "
