"Have you seen her?" The plainclothes police officer keenly noticed the change in Zhao Wugou's expression.

"Yes." The intern straightened the strap of her backpack with a wry smile, "I happened to be there when she fell down the stairs in an accident yesterday evening."

The plainclothes policeman took out a box of cigarettes, flicked at the bottom of the box, took out a cigarette and put it on his nose and smelled it. Hearing Zhao Wugou's words, his movements stopped slightly. "Are you there?"

"Yes, my friend was almost hit by her. Later, I rushed to send my friend to the hospital for treatment, so I left my contact information and left."

"Why did you pass by there?" The policeman put the cigarette back, and Zhao Wugou found a serious old scar on his finger.

"Officer, I'm a student of Beijing University. I'm doing an internship in Brocade Lane. It seems to be the only way for me to come back." Someone said helplessly. Is he being suspected?

Two people who were running at night came back to the community and saw four men standing under the building, so they looked over frequently.

"Get in the car and talk." Yan Jun signaled Si Geng to open the door of the car, it's not convenient to stand outside and talk.

The police officer looked sharply at Yan Jun and Si Geng, "Who are these?"

"My boss and his assistant." The villain in Zhao Wugou's heart covered his face, Officer, you are too alert, if there is a problem with this one, it will not be a matter of death alone.

"Hang up the phone for Hu Yan." Yan Jun's face showed no joy or anger, and he waved his hand to Si Geng, motioning him to report the police number of the small police officer next to him in police uniform, so that Hu Yan can communicate and find A person who can confirm his identity calls.

After a while, Si Geng handed the phone to the police officer, "It's the phone number of Director Lan of your Suzaku branch."

Plainclothes police officer: ……………

"Xiao Chen, this person's identity is absolutely reliable, and he has a five-star level access to the case file. Also, pay attention to your attitude and don't offend him." The familiar voice of Yan came from the phone, still in the usual slow manner His tone of voice seemed to be Director Lan himself.

The suspicion in the eyes of the plainclothes police officer surnamed Chen restrained a little, and he got into the car with the small police officers behind him, and explained the general situation of the current case.

After yesterday's murder happened, they went to the roof of the building and Huang's house to investigate separately.

There was a piano score left on the roof of the top floor, a slipper fell off the side of the guardrail, a piece of lace from a yellow Lily dress hung, and colorful wood fiber debris, with obvious signs of falling.However, the traces on the scene were too mottled, and there were many people entering and exiting.There is no way to completely rule out whether there is a second person at the scene.

Having said that, Officer Chen pulled out a photo and handed it to Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun.

The photo shows the old-style cement roof. The ground is covered with a layer of black asphalt, and there are several raised concrete beams about fifteen centimeters high.Just divide the roof into several pieces.There are a lot of drying racks in the two areas on the left in a mess, and the area near the door is basically empty, with a simple lifting music stand standing alone.The area behind the entrance is piled up with old bed boards and other sundries, and it looks like it should have been there for many years.

Due to the lack of public space in this old-style building, the top floor is developed and utilized by residents. The most common situations are drying clothes and stacking sundries.

Zhao Wugou took a closer look. There are two layers of guardrails around the roof. The inner layer is a thick concrete platform about [-] to [-] centimeters high. On the outer concrete platform, there is another layer of simple wire fences, but it is relatively sparse. The warning effect is greater than the reality.With Huang Lili's height, if she stood on the inner cement platform, it was entirely possible to fall or be pushed down.

Fortunately, there is a monitoring in the direction of the entrance from the stairs to the roof. It has been confirmed in the monitoring that Huang Lili went upstairs with the violin at 42:24 p.m. and is currently checking the monitoring content within [-] hours to see if there is a second person. The possibility of committing crimes on the spot.

Huang Lili's parents said that she is very obedient and smart, and she doesn't have to worry about her studies. She usually cleans the room by herself and helps with housework.Her room is also relatively normal, just like an ordinary little girl, the main colors are pink and white.She seems to like dogs very much. There are many images of dogs in the room, dog dolls, bed sheets with dog patterns, stickers, and even a lot of colorful wooden clips in the shape of dogs. Some are clipped on the balcony windows, and some are thrown in the room. various corners.

The police judged that the colored wood chips they found on the iron wire of the roof guardrail should come from this kind of rough colored wood clips.

In addition, the plainclothes police officer and Huang Lili's parents found several strange passages in her diary.

She said that she encountered a very magical thing recently. When she was practicing the piano or writing a song, she would suddenly "travel" to another wonderful space. It was like the giant country in the fairy tale kingdom. It felt very fun. She looked forward to it every time. .She also mentioned that she told a good friend about it, but the other party didn't believe it.

"The situation she described was like taking something like a 'hallucinogen', so at the beginning, we did an emergency investigation. After basically confirming that she should have no relevant contact channels, the forensic doctor reminded us that it might be It is a psychological or spiritual problem such as hallucinations, I suggest we consult Professor Wu." Officer Chen explained.

When the call got through, the professor had already boarded the plane. After listening to their description, he left the words 'Alice in Wonderland Syndrome' and asked them to contact Zhao Wugou for the specific situation.

"So, what exactly is Alice in Wonderland Syndrome?" Police Officer Chen and the small police officers next to him looked at Zhao Wugou eagerly.

"There is a children's novel called Alice in Wonderland." In the eyes of interns, this kind of work is no less famous than Cinderella. He thought that once he said it, everyone would immediately say, "Oh, it's that one." ' expression.

As a result, the men on the opposite side had a row of question marks all over their faces.

Not only Officer Chen, but also the third watch, the fourth watch, and even Yan Jun had a rare sense of doubt on his face.

Of course, what the interns don't know is that even if he is talking about "Cinderella", the performance of those on the opposite side will not be much better. A master of the underworld is far from old; Old devil, the person who wrote Cinderella when they reported to the underworld was not yet born; a police officer who grew up playing with wooden guns and never married, fairy tales and so on, are completely blind areas of knowledge that these men have not touched.

Only the policemen around Police Officer Chen responded, "I know, is it the story about Mr. Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts?"

"Is this novel famous?" Police Officer Chen looked at the little policeman suspiciously.

"Of course!" Xiao Pian police nodded vigorously, looked at the 'leader' beside him with pity, never even heard of this story, how poor was your childhood?

Boy, what is that look in your eyes?Officer Chen patted his head with his big hand resentfully, and when he turned his head to talk to Zhao Wugou, his tone was quite polite, "Please introduce me a little bit."

The little policeman straightened his police cap aggrievedly, and dared not speak any more.

"To put it simply, that novel is about a little girl named Alice, who follows a Mr. Rabbit in a dress, and keeps growing and shrinking in a fantasy world, traveling through adventures." Zhao Wugou briefly Explain, and then lead back to the topic, "Alice in Wonderland syndrome, also known as 'microsight', is currently considered to be a highly confusing phenomenon in neurology. The usual state of the disease is that the patient stares at something for a long time. Sometimes, there will be a sudden obvious distortion of visual perception, just like the protagonist in Alice in Wonderland, who feels that the things around them suddenly become larger or smaller. For example, in their eyes, a truck may suddenly become It may be the size of a mouse, or a soybean may become the size of a truck in their eyes."

"In addition, it is said that there is a painter abroad. After suffering from Alice in Wonderland syndrome, the style of his works has completely changed. And everyone feels that his works have become more attractive."

"Are you sure this person named Alice is not a monster?" San Geng blinked his eyes and asked seriously.

"That's a novel, how could there be monsters in the world." Xiao Pian Jinger glanced at San Geng with a look that was not stupid.

Zhao Wugou sighed silently in his heart, half a month ago, he also believed so firmly.

Unconvinced by the third watch, he continued to speak, but was immediately covered by the fourth watch.

Officer Chen was silent for a moment, "Under what circumstances do people get this disease?"

"According to the known cases, this disease occurs more often in children. At present, the mainstream theory is that the disease is caused by damage to the occipital lobe, because the human visual cortex center is in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex." Zhao Wugou regretted He turned his head slightly, "But in fact, so far, no one in the world has been able to find out the exact cause and treatment."

"You can't even determine the cause of the disease?" The little police officer showed an incredulous expression, "Isn't our current medical level very advanced?"

"The human body is actually very complicated, far beyond everyone's imagination. As far as I know, there are diseases that can be completely cured by modern medicine," Zhao Wugou stretched out his right hand, "I can count them with one hand." .In daily life, most of them are just clinical cures.”

The small piece of police showed a blank expression in the process of refreshing the world view.Officer Chen frowned, "Then, what are the consequences of this...'visual perception distortion'? Could it cause her to stumble and fall downstairs?"

All the current evidence basically points in one direction, the little girl stumbled and fell down the building.

"I have no way to confirm this. I can only say that when the onset occurs, the patient's perception of the size and distance of the object is wrong. Combined with the environment on the balcony, it is theoretically possible to cause a stumble." Zhao Wu Kuu spread his hands.

"In addition, I personally have a little conjecture for your reference." The intern looked at the photos of Huang Lili's home that Police Officer Chen took out, and pointed to the windows and the small clips on the skirting boards in the corners , "Huang Lili's room, the desk and the bed are neatly packed, but these clips are placed everywhere, as if they have never been cleaned. These clips are very rough in workmanship, and the price should be very cheap. It feels like they were bought on a temporary basis. The symptoms of Alice in Wonderland syndrome are usually caused by staring at something for a long time. I guess, Huang Lili may have discovered that she had the symptoms when she was reviewing her homework and practicing the piano. She found When I was sick, I couldn’t grasp the distance well, and I was easy to hit the wall. I was very smart to use these brightly colored clips to mark myself, reminding myself that when I saw them, I would be in danger of being injured. Therefore, they are It's going to be in places like balconies and bedrooms."

"If this is the case, will someone know Huang Lili's habits, and then take away the clips on the roof?" The policeman put forward a horrifying idea, and immediately turned the direction of the case to murder.

"His parents didn't know she had this disease, so who else would know..." Officer Chen raised his hand and was about to knock Xiao Pian on the head, but his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, that Huang Lili's good friend!She mentioned it in her diary and told her good friend about it!

"I'm sorry to interrupt you today. Thank you for your cooperation. If necessary, I will trouble you again." Officer Chen's hand stopped in the air and patted the shoulder of the police officer, and immediately stood up. He had to check again Huang Lili's situation at school, did the little girl have conflicts with others at school, and who were the friends mentioned in the diary?

"Officer, I'm just guessing." Zhao Wugou hurriedly added, he didn't expect Officer Chen to attach so much importance to his random guess.

"Bold assumptions, careful verification. This is what we often say in the blue bureau. If you think of any new clues, please contact me at any time." Police officer Chen left a phone number for Zhao Wugou, and hurried away with a small policeman up.

The police officer is very responsible.Looking at Officer Chen's back, Zhao Wugou silently commented.Turning around, he saw Yan Jun staring at him.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Wugou looked at his clothes inexplicably, wouldn't it be dirty somewhere and trigger Mr. Minister's obsession with cleanliness?

"There is actually another way to prove your guess." Yan Jun's handsome brows raised slightly, and he said in a calm manner, "I checked just now, and there is no record of Huang Lili being taken away by errants."

After Zhao Wugou was stunned for half a second, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, go to the scene and ask her ghost directly?"

The black extended Rolls-Royce restarted, and within 5 minutes, it stopped near the building where the accident occurred.Zhao Wugou got out of the car with Yan Jun and walked along the sidewalk.

At 10:30 in the evening, there were still passers-by on the sidewalk from time to time. The blood on the cement road had been cleaned, and there were basically no traces of the tragedy last night.

Zhao Wugou looked around, but did not find Huang Lili's spirit body.

Yan Jun with one hand in his pocket raised his chin, signaling Zhao Wugou to look up.

The intern raised his head and saw a shadowy figure in a skirt sitting on the edge of the roof of the building.

Zhao Wugou's waist tightened, and the next moment, he found himself brought to the roof of the building by Yan Jun.

On the edge of the roof, a little girl wearing a floral skirt is sitting precariously on the edge. Although she is barefoot, she has an extremely elegant demeanor. Her shoulder-length translucent long hair is half scattered in the wind, faintly revealing the colorful scenery in the distance. The starry sky is as beautiful as an elf.She has not had time to grow up, otherwise, she will definitely be an elegant and charming super beauty in the future.

At this moment, she turned her head curiously, staring at Zhao Wugou, Yan Jun and the others, as if wondering how they got here.

"Huang Lili?" Zhao Wugou asked tentatively.

"Brother, can you see me?" The little girl had a surprised expression on her face.

Zhao Wugou nodded gently.

"That's great, neither father nor mother seem to be able to see." The little girl pouted her lips a little aggrieved, then she looked at Zhao Wugou questioningly as if thinking of something, "Brother, am I dead? "

Zhao Wugou hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

"Sure enough." The little girl sighed like a grown-up.

Zhao Wugou walked to the edge of the guardrail to have a look, and sure enough, he found a few tiny colored wood shavings.He reached out to pick up the two pieces of debris and held them in his palm, and asked casually as if chatting, "Do you know what these are?"

Huang Lili stared at the wood shavings, "It should be the shavings of the little clip I made."

"Have you been clipping here?"

"Well," the little girl nodded with a proud face, "it's the dog knight who protects me from getting hurt."

"A dog rider?"

"There are pictures of dogs printed on these clips. Actually..." The little girl hesitated for a while, then waved to Zhao Wugou, motioning him to bend down.

Zhao Wugou obediently bent down.

The little girl lay beside his ear and said mysteriously, "I seem to have superpowers. I can suddenly shrink myself. It's very fun! But sometimes I get hurt. I use these dog knights to remind myself. Seeing They don't move on."

superpower?Dog jockey?Children's imagination is really invincible and romantic.Zhao Wugou stroked her hair affectionately.

The dull faces of the third watch and the fourth watch are really used to remind yourself?

"However, I don't know why the clips I put on the roof disappeared." The little girl sighed again, "Otherwise I wouldn't have fallen."

Zhao Wugou felt cold in his heart, "Those clips, are you sure you didn't take them down by yourself?"

Huang Lili shook her head, "They were still there when I practiced the piano the day before yesterday. I waited too long for the elevator yesterday, and I was a little late when I got up, so I forgot to check."

"Did you tell anyone about your dog jockey?"

"Ningning from the orchestra, Kelly, and you, brother." The little girl counted on her fingers.

Zhao Wugou: ……………
