The death scene of the third victim, Chen Guangliang, is exactly the same as that of the previous two cases.
At noon, he was shot in the heart and killed with one shot. At that time, the rich girl had just woken up, and before she took a few steps, she was greeted by death.
…
Black Shield Group Office.
Han Chen, Bai Jinxi, Nagging, Leng Mian, each holding a cigarette in their hands, smoking one after another, while reviewing the information on the crime scene. Xiao Zhuan was chewing the gum hard, and his expression was also solemn.
"The three victims did not have any intersection and did not appear in any of the same incidents." Han Chen put down the information and looked around, "There is only one way to connect them with T—"
Jin Xi interface: "Network."
Nagging doubts: "But apart from the fact that Chen Chuan's incident is very fierce on the Internet, the first two victims are both little-known petty citizens. How did T know that they were carrying human lives?"
Han Chen took a breath and tapped his fingers on the table: "Where did we know about it?"
Everyone else is silent.
"People from the Zhou family! And Zheng Chengzhi's younger brother Zheng Chengda!" Xiao Zhuan exclaimed in surprise, "Did they tell T? But how did they know T?"
Han Chen looked out of the calm window: "Please come back and ask."
—
The first to be brought back were the three of the Zhou family.
According to Jin Xi's instructions, the three of them were questioned separately. As expected, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were at a loss for the existence of the so-called "T". Just as they were shocked when they heard the news of Chen Xixian's death before.
With two cups of coffee, Jin Xi walks into the interrogation room where the Zhou family's youngest daughter and Zhou Silin are.
When she met earlier, she felt that the girl's demeanor was a bit wrong. Now that I think about it, at the age of nineteen, she is of course more familiar with the Internet than her parents, and is more likely to meet T and tell him about her deceased sister.
After all, she was young, and Zhou Silin looked nervous. After taking the coffee, her fingers kept sliding on the edge of the cup. But in the nervous look, there is a bit of determination.
Jin Xi took a sip of coffee and asked, "How did you know him?"
This question obviously caught her off guard, and she answered blankly, "Who? Who are you talking about?"
"T."
Zhou Silin was silent for a few seconds: "I don't know, I don't know."
Jin Xi puts down the coffee, moves forward, and stares at her intently: "Silin, now, this person named T is holding a sniper rifle, sniping people in this city. He has already killed three people. , including Chen Xixian. Maybe you think Chen Xixian died, but you know what? T used to be a professional killer, and his mental state is probably abnormal now. In other words, he may be killing guilty people now, but he can continue to indulge , who knows if he will kill ordinary people?"
Zhou Silin bit her lower lip and did not speak.
"I know you are grateful to him and want to protect him." Jin Xi said slowly, "but now you say it, you are actually helping him. Before he makes more mistakes. You also don't want T to end up in a runaway chain. Killer, despised and hated by everyone, right?"

Following the clues provided by Zhou Silin, Xiao Zhuan and Jin Xi immediately logged into the largest urban forum in Lan City: Yangtze River Baihe BBS.
Under the police interrogation, Zheng Chengda, who has been tight-lipped, finally couldn't bear the pressure and admitted that he had talked with T at this BBS.
It didn't take much effort, Xiao Zhuan found the posts from Zhou Silin and Zheng Chengda on the same day from BBS.
It turns out that, like other well-known forums, Changjiang Baihe BBS has often posted grievances and injustices that have no way to seek help in reality, and are eager to get public attention and help. It's just that there are too many posts of this kind of "justice". Netizens are probably also numb. So except for a few popular topics, many other posts are ignored. Even netizens laughed.
Zhou Silin and Zheng Chengda are such examples.
In the main post, Zhou Silin complained bitterly about what Chen Xixian had done to her deceased sister, and wrote directly: After her sister was gang-raped and returned home that day, she told her that she saw a figure outside in the alley and felt very similar to Chen Xixian. My sister was so sad and desperate that she didn't let her tell her parents about this. Now that her sister has died in a car accident, and there is no evidence of the day, she can't seek revenge against Chen Xixian. I implore the majority of netizens to condemn this unconscionable drug addict.
The number of replies to the post was only over 100, most of which were support and comfort to her, but also some ridicule and cursing. Said her sister was too stupid, said she made up stories to deceive attention. Some people even replied: "Sister, upload photos, how do we know if you are telling the truth if you don't upload photos."
T's reply appeared on the 80th floor. The reply ID is "T", and Zhou Silin's ID is "Flying Lone Bird".
"T: Is what you said true
Flying Lone Bird: If I tell a lie, let me die without a place to be buried!
T: I see. "
Zhou Silin posted on a certain day three months ago, about four or five days later, T posted back and forth again.
"T: He will be punished.
Flying Lone Bird: Who Are You? "
T has not responded.
Looking at Zheng Chengda's post, the conversation between the two is also very similar.
"T: Is what you said true
Daren Daji: I swear by my life! That's my mother-in-law! I don't care about the house or the demolition money, I don't want a penny, my mother can't die like this!
T: Good.
…
T: He will be punished.
Daren Daji: What do you mean
Da Ren Daji: What about people? "
—
Unsurprisingly, the story of the third deceased, Chen Guangli, was also posted on this forum by netizens. However, this matter has received a lot of attention on the Internet, and there are a lot of replies, but I haven't seen T's reply.
Xiao Zhuan immediately searched all past posts on the forum, and the results were astonishing—there were 13 posts T responded to in the past year.
In the office of the Black Shield Team, everyone looked solemn.
"So..." Nagging said, "Starting tomorrow, the objects we need to protect are 13?"
Xiao Zhuan flipped through the information and replied, "No, there are 9 of them. 4 of them have died or been sentenced to prison in the past year."
Nagging said softly: "Actually, this buddy is also killing harm for the people. Alas!"
The other four looked at him without saying a word.
Han Chen poked out the cigarette butt and stood up: "I'll go to the director and immediately deploy the city."
—
Six o'clock in the evening.
It has been 6 hours since Chen Liangliang's death, and 18 hours before T sniper kills the next person.
Jin Xi is exhausted and pushes open the office door. She just came back from the Xicheng District Police Station and cooperated with them to protect and deploy the two "targets" in the area.
With 9 possible goals, the workload is enormous. It is necessary to provide them with 24-hour personal protection, but also to quietly deploy defenses in the surrounding high-rise buildings and wait for the rabbits, so that when T appears tomorrow, he can be captured in one fell swoop.
However, it is already a huge breakthrough to be able to narrow the scope to this step. It seemed like he was only one step away from solving the case.
Nag, they all went to other areas to arm, and there was no one in the office. Jin Xi takes off her hat, sits in place for a while, gets up, and pushes open the door of the conference room next to her.
As soon as he looked up, he saw that there was someone inside.
Han Chen put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood in front of the whiteboard, and turned to look at her.
"Xicheng ready?"
"Yeah." Jin Xi walked up to him, put her hands up, sat on the table, and looked at the whiteboard with him.
To the left of the whiteboard is a map of the city. The red pen has been used to mark the positions of 9 possible targets that will be at 12 noon tomorrow. The locations where the first three victims were killed are also marked. To the right of the whiteboard are their pictures.
Jin Xi: "Do you want to further narrow the target range?"
Han Chen also leaned on the table, lowered his head and lit a cigarette: "En."
"What did you find then?"
Han Chen held a cigarette, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, and picked up a pen from the table. He held a long, slender pen in his hand, making his hand more slender and beautiful. And he stared at the map intently, and the profile of his profile became more and more distinct.
Jin Xi's eyes were so unconsciously attracted, she took a sip from the tea on the table, and moved her gaze to the map.
He drew three circles around the locations of the first three victims.
"Murder cases have occurred in these places, and we will definitely be strictly guarding them, and the police will be patrolling more closely. So he won't choose targets around here again," he said.
Jin Xi followed his strokes and saw that in addition to the three deceased, there were two targets who were circled in.
She nodded: "So these two people have little chance of being selected tomorrow."
That's 7 left.
Han Chen took a breath and looked at her sideways: "Criminal psychologist, what's your opinion?"
He spoke lightly and gently, and Jin Xi didn't know whether he was sarcastic as usual, or just said that. She thought about it, took the pen from his hand, stood in front of the whiteboard, and circled two people from the pile of photos.
"The first, Zheng Chengzhi, was unfilial, disregarded his family, and killed his mother; the second, Chen Xixian, was unfaithful in love and ruined his girlfriend." She looked up at the photo, "Look, there are 7 left, 1 One was accused of abusing his daughter, which indirectly led to the abduction and disappearance of his daughter; one was the husband's affair, his wife had a difficult childbirth, and the mental pressure caused the death of both mother and child; He was the son of a business leader, and he was blamed later. This, this..." She clicked two more photos: "It's also similar. These five people are all related to family and responsibilities, and they are somewhat similar to the first three deceased."
"But there are two people left..." She pointed to the photo she had circled. "The first one, the vice principal of the middle school, is rumored to have molested a young female student when he was serving in the county below, but the person involved accidentally fell into the water. , this matter is over. And because of his outstanding teaching performance, he was transferred to the city. As a teacher, he has no morality."
Han Chen smoked a cigarette and listened to her analysis quietly.
"And this, the boss of a small business company. It is said that he often participated in violent demolition and eviction in the past, and indirectly caused people's lives. For the sake of economic interests, he will do whatever he can. It's just a long time, and there is no direct evidence." She said slowly, "'punishment' , itself carries the meaning of 'warning'. For T, it is impossible for him to kill all such people in the world, nor can he completely ensure that all targets are killed. So, if I were him, I would first Kill more typical people."
Both fell silent.
Jin Xi's mouth is dry as she speaks, her eyes are fixed on the white board, and she reaches for the teacup.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the wall of the cup, he felt a few cool fingers on the back of his hand.
She shuddered in her heart and turned to look.
Han Chen also turned his head to look at her, his face was calm, and his eyes were as dark as ink.
It turned out that the two of them reached out to serve the cup of tea in the middle at the same time, and their hands were covered together.
Jin Xi smiled and picked up the teacup before him, and the back of her hand inevitably brushed across his palm.
"I want to drink it myself..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly reacted and looked at the paper cup in her hand. When she came in just now, it seemed like she hadn't poured tea.
For a moment, Han Chen reached out his hand and took the paper cup away from her.
"I want to drink it myself." He returned her words to her.
"Wait!" She jumped off the table and reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, Han Chen grabbed her wrist and raised the cup with the other hand to drink.
this man! Are you deliberately bullying her again? Jin Xi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, her other hand is still struggling to reach for the cup: "I just..."
As a result, he quickly grabbed her hand forward, and actually used the moves in the grappling martial arts, and clasped both her wrists with one hand. Jin Xi was already standing close to him, but under such a pull, her whole body was almost stuck in his arms. And he didn't seem to notice at all, looked up indifferently, and slowly drank the tea.
Jin Xi was grabbed by his hands, her heart was beating fast, she wanted to fight but couldn't break free. He threw the empty paper cup on the table, and then let go of her wrist, as if it was just a normal joke among colleagues, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, said nothing, and left.
Standing alone in the conference room, Jin Xi touched the wrist that he just pinched. It still hurts a bit.
Originally, when she first came to Lan City, she was indeed a little confused towards him. As a result, as soon as he entered the Black Shield team, a series of major sniping cases came. It's more of a collision and appreciation with him. It won't be as emotional as it was at the beginning, but it's becoming more familiar and more tacit at every moment. It feels good too.
But after such a commotion, why is the heartbeat so fast
—
Han Chen walked out of the conference room, walked to his seat and sat down.
Holding a cigarette, waited for a while, only to find that she never came out.
Reaching out, unbuttoning one of the buttons on the neckline, smoking a cigarette, looking at the twilight outside the window.
Then the phone rang.
The nagging voice sounded excited: "Haha boss! Praise me quickly! I know who the killer is going to kill tomorrow!"
Han Chen smiled: "Is that the vice principal, or the boss of the business company?"
"Hey? How do you know!" Naggar became more excited, and said in a very fast and indistinct manner, "My god is my god... It's the vice-principal! I just cross-examined him deeply, what abnormal things have happened these days, Even if it was a small thing! He also told him that the first few victims had been shot in the heart. He suddenly softened and said that four days ago, he was shot in the left chest with red ink, and he thought it was Someone played a prank. I asked other targets, but the same situation did not appear. Maybe T hasn't issued the red death notice to them! Unfortunately, the first three dead people can't speak, and I don't know if they were also shot. But I think it must be…”
Hanging up the phone, Han Chen walked to the door of the conference room again.
However, she saw Jin Xi resting her chin in one hand, sitting on the table with her back to him, wondering what she was thinking about. Obviously a graceful beauty, but her demeanor is like a tomboy. Rather arrogant and stinky.
"Bai Jin Xi."
Jin Xi turns her head to look at him.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned and walked out: "Follow me. See if you got it right this time."
—
noon the next day.
City Lanying Middle School, the top floor of the central office building, the vice principal's office.
Luo Kaifang, the vice principal who was selected as one of the targets and suspected of molesting female students, has been secretly taken away by the police. What awaits him is both 24-hour personal protection and an in-depth investigation of past events.
The weather is fine today, sunny and windless, suitable for sniping.
The location around this office building that could be used as a sniper spot was already ambushed by the police in the middle of the night last night. As long as T appears anywhere, he will be captured immediately. On the campus and on the main roads, plainclothes police are also distributed, vigilantly monitoring every pedestrian. All traffic routes outside the school are closely monitored, and as long as the black Sega appears, it will be locked immediately.
In the principal's office, a middle-aged criminal policeman with a body similar to Luo Kaifang, wearing a bulletproof vest and a professional disguise, was sitting at the desk reading a newspaper as a bait.
Everyone in the Black Shield team was lurking in a commercial vehicle downstairs, observing the surrounding environment through multiple monitors.
The time is one minute and one second, nearly twelve o'clock.
Every policeman secretly sweated in his heart.
Every member of the Black Shield Team was also engrossed in it, extremely solemn.
They were all thinking about a question—
T, will it really appear
Will the professional killer who only exists in rumors carry his sniper rifle and walk into the sight of the world
