In a blur, Bai Jin Xi felt that the man's hand on her neck suddenly loosened. Her body lost support and fell to the ground all of a sudden, breathing heavily like an asthma patient.
There was no movement behind him.
His throat was burning like fire, and he couldn't feel the pain; his consciousness was also a little dazed. Jin Xi still struggled to get up from the ground and turned around abruptly. But in the shaky sight, I saw the empty basement and stairs, where there was still the figure of the man.
With one hand on her throat, she stumbled and rolled up the stairs and walked out. It was already very dark and dark, and there was no one in the house. From a distance, the detectives were all gathered in the yard to explore. She stepped into the yard, and the bright white searchlights on the top of the police car hurt her eyes. She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes and staggered towards Han Chen's direction.
—
Han Chen just received a call from the director. Hanging up the phone, thinking of how Bai Jin Xi was squatting in the basement just now, thinking deeply, she couldn't help but smile.
Looking up, the detectives were excavating the soil in the courtyard. Some cat and dog corpses have been excavated, all with varying degrees of fractures and trauma. It is very likely that Shao Lun used it as a tool for practice in advance.
Turning back inadvertently, his eyes instantly froze.
Bai Jin Xi is walking towards her step by step. The light illuminated her face, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood on her face, and her neck was covered with red and purple finger marks.
Han Chen rushed towards her in a single step. However, there was a figure ahead that was faster than him. Xu Sibai, dressed in white, threw away the record book and pen in his hand, reached out to support her body, and shouted, "Jin Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked over in surprise, Jin Xi looked at Xu Sibai's horrified expression, and shook her head gently: "I'm fine, just now..." Her voice was hoarse like a ghost.
The next second, a pair of stronger hands snatched her from Xu Sibai's arms. As soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Sibai's frozen expression and Han Chen's eyes. His eyes were dark and cold, staring stubbornly at her. And his arms hugged her body tightly, and with a stroke, he directly lifted her from the ground.
"What's the matter?" His voice was as cold as ice.
Jin Xi's tears suddenly fell, and she reached out and hugged him.
Many people gathered around, and they were all shocked. Xiao Zhuan's anxious voice came: "Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai! What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your neck?" Xu Nanbai also came over, shocked: "Junior sister? Is it okay?" Qin Wenlong shouted and ordered: "Immediately Block the surroundings! Xiaobai, did Shao Lun come back and attack you?"
Jin Xi glanced at Han Chen, and her eyes fell on the concerned faces around her.
Qin Wenlong, Xu Sibai, Lengmian, Nagao, Xiao Zhuan, Xu Nanbai, Xiao Yao, three criminal police officers, and two appraisal officers. That's all there is.
"Just now..." she asked in a nearly broken voice, word by word, "Who entered the room? Who, came out?"
Everyone was stunned.
All the criminal investigation elites were present, who didn't understand what she meant? The house has been heavily blocked by the police, and many police officers are patrolling around. It is too difficult for foreigners to get in!
No one spoke.
Xiao Zhuan murmured, "Xiao Bai, everyone has been going in and out. We all went in just now. But... all of them are our own."
Jin Xi panted low, grabbed Han Chen's shirt tightly, and didn't speak. Han Chen also looked down at her, and after a while, he said, "Xiao Zhuan."
Zhou Xiaozhuan: "Here!"
"Take care of her." He handed the Jin Xi in his hand to Xiao Zhuan, and Xiao Zhuan hurriedly took it lightly. Jin Xi waved her hand: "Let me down, it's alright." At this moment, she saw Han Chen wink at Leng Mian, and then ran into the farmhouse against the wall.
Others were also nervous. Qin Wenlong kept calling and instructing the surrounding police to block possible paths; Xu Nanbai and another criminal policeman crouched down in front of Jin Xi, and asked her in a low voice about the possible appearance and characteristics of her murderer; vehicle…
—
Han Chen and Leng Mian entered the room, looked around, and found nothing unusual; they went down to the basement again, and it was still empty, leaving no traces of footprints.
"The attack should have happened here," Grim said. "If it's on the first floor, we'll notice."
Han Chen didn't speak.
In an instant, Jin Xi's mind flashed through her mind just now when she was squatting on the ground and concentrating on her thoughts, but she was attacked from behind, strangling her neck and struggling to death.
The heart seems to have become a swamp of cold air.
The two went upstairs again, and carefully explored another circle.
"Boss, here." Leng Mian stood in the small storage room next to the bedroom, pointing to the narrow window on the wall, which was open.
"When we came, all the windows were closed." Han Chen said quietly.
The two looked out from the window and saw a patch of weeds, farmland and woods, where there were traces of people. However, there were a series of footprints on the mud floor under the window.
The two looked at each other and jumped out of the window one after the other. Han Chen walked forward following the footprints, but when he reached the edge of the grass four or five meters forward, the footprints disappeared. And Leng Nian lay on the ground and stared at the footprints, and said: "Male, wearing a foot cover can't identify the pattern on the sole of the foot. The height is between 170-180 cm and the weight is 70-75 kg. Judging from the stride, it should be young and middle-aged. There is no way. Speculate more." He paused, looked up at Han Chen, and lowered his voice: "Most people in the yard meet this condition."
Han Chen was silent for a moment and replied, "Let's go."
—
Bai Jin Xi is sitting in the passenger seat of a police car, Xiao Zhuan is by the side of the car, and Xu Sibai is squatting in front of her. The ambulance hasn't arrived yet, and he's doing a simple check on her.
Xu Sibai took off his gloves, and his warm fingers touched the scar on her neck almost cautiously. Xiao Zhuan on the side looked at Xu Sibai, who was always like the clear breeze and the bright moon, and he actually showed such a pained expression, feeling a little uncomfortable. And looking at Jin Xi's injury, it's even more uncomfortable. He stood there silently, not speaking.
And Jin Xi leaned back in the seat, letting Xu Sibai do the inspection, but she was a little stunned.
who is it
Who infiltrated and attacked her? He clearly wanted to kill her, but why did he give up and leave in the middle
What happened when she was in a daze
Situ Yi? Shao Lun
…
I was one of the serial killers of the year.
I have tracked down that there were 64 victims and more than one murderer.
…
Or, someone related to the case back then
Chills burst out of her heart, and Jin Xi's hands clenched into fists.
"Wife." A voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
It was Han Chen's voice, as if it came from the depths of his head.
She felt a sharp pain in her head and immediately reached out to support her forehead.
"Wife." There was another voice.
"What's wrong with Jin Xi?" Xu Sibai noticed something strange and held her hand. Jin Xi pulled her hand back almost like a conditioned reflex, and continued to cover her head with a frown. Xu Sibai's hand stopped in midair.
Something very, very familiar, very frightening to her, enveloped her body again. Dark, fiery, oppressive, chaotic... That's the feeling of suffocation, the same strong feeling of suffocation when someone strangled the neck today.
Fire, smoke, explosions... Many fragmented images flashed through my mind like lightning. They are fuzzy, but also painful.
"Wife." She heard Han Chen's voice again. A hoarse, distressed voice.
Tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes, and she closed her eyes, trying to recall the scene more clearly, but found that her head was blurred and she couldn't remember anything.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xu Sibai and Xiao Zhuan all looking at him with concern.
And Xu Si Baijun's dark and quiet eyes actually had faint tears. He didn't say a word, but she knew very well that at this moment he must be unspeakably worried.
I remembered that he hugged him just now, but was pushed away by Han Chen in front of everyone; I remembered that he wanted to hold her hand just now, but she refused. A painful feeling of pity filled Jin Xi's heart. She patted the back of his hand lightly: "I'm fine. Just now... Han Chen was impatient, don't mind."
He was quiet for a while, then replied softly, "I know he's in a hurry. Because so am I."
Jin Xi did not speak, and Zhou Xiaozhuan did not speak.
"Don't talk anymore." He whispered, "These days, you can only eat light liquid food. When you get to the hospital, ask the doctor to give you some medicine to reduce the swelling. Understand?"
Jin Xi nodded.
At this moment, Han Chen and Leng Mian came out of the house. He took off his gloves and walked straight and swiftly over here.
Qin Wenlong walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "This place is out of the way, the ambulance hasn't arrived yet, you can take Jin Xi to the hospital first. The survey is basically over here, and I'll keep an eye on the next thing."
"Yeah." His eyes were still fixed on Bai Jin Xi.
Jin Xi also looked at him.
Han Chen walked to the car, and Xu Sibai stood up. The two men looked at each other, Xu Sibai said nothing, walked to the exploration site in the courtyard, and didn't look back.
Jin Xi watched Han Chen bend over, fasten her seat belt, then close the car door and get into the passenger seat by herself.
"How is it now? Is it better?" He turned to look at her, and there was no expression in his dark eyes.
Jin Xi nodded, "Much better."
He started the car and drove out of the farmhouse in a hurry.
