Then start.

Yao Ruolan opened the files of the three murder cases and laid them out page by page on the ground.

She put on black-rimmed glasses and browsed quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.

"I think so." Xu Wenshan on the side wanted to explain his reasoning.

Yao Ruolan stretched out her hand to signal Xu Wenshan not to speak.

After a breath, Xu Wenshan leaned against the corner obediently.

Yao Ruolan continued to look at the papers, photos, and words on the floor as if they were floating in the air, running through her brain, looking for clues to connect them.

It took about half an hour for Yao Ruolan to read the entire file.

This speed is ten times that of ordinary people.

"Sir Xu. That's all right." Yao Ruolan said, "Let's go to Aocheng."

"Ao Cheng?"

"Yes." Yao Ruolan picked up a photo, the photo of the deceased No. 1, the crime scene, and a wrinkled boat ticket to Macao.

Macao City and K City are separated by a sea, and there are many large and small casinos.

The deceased No.1 was an old woman named Gina. 60 years old.

Yao Ruolan said, "The night before she was killed, she went to Aocheng. Let's start here."

After leaving the house, Xu Wenshan planned to drive to the dock.

Yao Ruolan said, I'll drive and you sit next to me.

The car started and Yao Ruolan said to Xu Wenshan, "I want all the information about this woman named Gina now."

Xu Wenshan said:

Gina lives alone and her family members are abroad. The husband was rushing back after receiving the news of his death.

This woman had a little money, and she usually liked to cross the sea to play a few games. I checked the boat ticket and found that she went to Aocheng the night before the incident.

"What phone call did she make that night? Who she called and who was the other party." Yao Ruolan asked.

"There is a friend of hers who is a housewife, and we just chatted for a few words."

"Chat? What kind of chat?" Yao Ruolan asked, holding the steering wheel.

"This is just a normal chat."

"Tell your men to find the housewife. I want to know what they talked about that night."

Xu Wenshan called his assistant. Apparently the assistant was woken up by the phone call and said, Sir Xu, do you want it now? It's 4 o'clock in the morning.

"This is order." Xu Wenshan said.

The assistant had no choice but to get up and hurried to the housewife's home. He patted the door and the door opened. The family was obviously shocked and thought that the police were working too hard and came to question them at around 4 o'clock in the morning.

The assistant handed the phone to the housewife.

Xu Wenshan put the phone in his hand on speakerphone.

"When did Gina call you that day?" Yao Ruolan asked.

"It's past eleven o'clock in the evening." said the housewife.

"What did we talk about?"

"What?" The housewife tried to remember, after all, it had been almost a month.

"Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

While listening, Yao Ruolan stepped on the accelerator and quickly headed towards the dock in the early morning city.

The housewife recalled it intermittently, saying that it was mainly about her good luck that night, as she seemed to have won 20 at the Michelin Star Casino.

"20?" Yao Ruolan asked, "Are you sure she said she won 20?"

Yes, the housewife affirmed.

Do you believe? Yao Ruolan asked, do you believe Gina won 20?

The housewife said, it’s hard to say. Gina usually talks exaggeratedly and is vain. She often talks about how much money her husband has abroad. Hey, in fact, we all know that her husband has someone abroad, and he doesn’t live there all year round. When they came back, they were just in the name of husband and wife, and they had no children...

Right. Yao Ruolan felt that the first clue was right.

Gina is an emotionally frustrated old woman, so she gambles money and goes to Macao twice a week to play.

Her husband definitely didn't love her. Gina had been dead for almost a month and her body was still in the morgue. Her husband was still slow to come back to identify the body and deal with the funeral arrangements.

So the night before the incident, Gina went to Macao and was lucky.

.

After chatting with the housewife, the car has already driven to the pier.

Yao Ruolan and Xu Wenshan bought tickets and boarded the ship. An hour later, the ship arrived in Macao.

I found the Michelin Star Casino. At six o'clock in the morning, there were still many gamblers with dark circles under their eyes sitting in the huge casino, vowing to make a fortune.

I found the security manager of the casino and asked, "Have you kept the surveillance video of July 7 (the night before Gina was killed) when she came to the casino?"

The security manager said, yes.

Casinos often have customers who cheat and cheat, so the casinos are equipped with high-definition surveillance cameras that will be kept for three months.

The security manager went to the archives room and took out dozens of video tapes, all taken on July 7.

The security manager was about to start playing from the first video tape. Xu Wenshan thought about how long it would take to watch the video tapes. He was going to sneak out for a refreshing cigarette,

"Let's put them all together." Yao Ruolan said.

The security manager was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you read all of them together?"

"can."

So on more than a dozen TVs in the control room, more than a dozen tapes were played.

"It's too slow, use fast forward." Yao Ruolan stared at the screen.

The security manager and Xu Wenshan were busy pressing the remote controls one by one.

"Stop!" Yao Ruolan pointed at the fifth TV and said, "Stop!"

Pressing the pause button, Gina appeared on the screen, inconspicuously, after all, there were dozens of people surrounding the gaming tables.

"Keep playing, fast forward." Yao Ruolan stared at TV 5.

The security manager doubled the speed.

"Quicker."

The security manager adjusted the speed to four times, thinking that it was playing so fast, what on earth was this beauty watching?

The security manager unconsciously glanced at Yao Ruolan a few more times, he was really beautiful.

Yao Ruolan's eyes were fixed on the screen, Gina on the gambling table. She was playing poker, losing one hand and winning two. The bet on the table was 100 yuan chips, mud chips.

Yes, Gina loves to gamble, but it is not a bad gamble. She has control. She was just doing it for fun, but she was really lucky that night.

Half an hour later, the tape was finished.

Yao Ruolan took a long breath and said, "Gina only won 2."

"Ah?" Xu Wenshan was stunned. He had no idea that Yao Ruolan only watched the video to calculate how much money Gina had won.

Yao Ruolan touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go."

Xu Wenshan wanted to take away these video tapes with the security manager. Xu Wenshan roughly guessed something——

It is possible that the murderer and Gina came to the Michelin Star Casino together. That night, the murderer lost money and saw Gina at the next table winning money.

So he became greedy, followed Gina home, stole money and murdered her.

As long as these video tapes are taken back to the police station for study, the suspect can be found. Xu Wenshan is packing those video tapes.

However, Yao Ruolan said, "These video tapes are no longer useful and have no value."

.

Leave the casino.

Yao Ruolan walked in front, and Xu Wenshan followed behind. Yao Ruolan was quite tall and very aura, and Xu Wenshan felt like a little follower.

Hey, I'm the inspector of the Major Crimes Division after all. What did this goddess find out?

Passing by the alleys of Aocheng, there is smoke from cooking stoves and freshly baked egg tarts.

Yao Ruolan sat down and said to Xu Wenshan, "Egg tarts, pineapple buns, and a cup of tea."

You mean you want me to buy it? Xu Wenshan suppressed his anger and endured it. Okay, he went to buy it.

He brought the food back and put it on the table. There were still some oil stains on the table.

"Wipe the table."

Okay, I tolerate it. Xu Wenshan wiped the table with a paper towel.

"Clean it up."

Xu Wenshan was speechless.

After wiping, Yao Ruolan said, "Go buy a rose and put it in a glass vase."

Just do it! Just do it! Xu Wenshan thought silently in his heart. Tolerate.

He bought flowers and put them on the table. The sun shone on the table at the roadside stall. There were flowers and food. Yao Ruolan arranged the food on the plate. It was perfect.

Yao Ruolan looked at the appetizing breakfast and recorded these scenes in her mind.

In 1999, mobile phones did not have the selfie function, but the sense of ritual was for every girl regardless of generation.

She ate slowly and with relish.

Xu Wenshan was waiting beside him. In fact, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he decided not to because the goddess didn't like it.

And it's very close to the truth. This goddess's reasoning will come after she has had enough wine and food. Having dealt with him several times, Xu Wenshan understands him very well.

The excruciating four and ten minutes passed by in a flash.

Yao Ruolan finished eating, wiped her mouth, and said, "Sir Xu, the murderer may be a repairman."

Repairman?

Yes, Yao Ruolan started her reasoning——
