Neverland

In Xu Kang's case, the murderer's footprints extracted by the police belonged to a man about 1.8 meters tall, but just now the dormitory manager told Xu Muzhou that it was a young woman who called Fu Sihan out.

The original murder case became complicated and confusing because of the appearance of playing cards, and now even the direction of the murderer has become different.

Xu Muzhou wasn't sure whether this meant a gang committed the crime or something else was going on, so he could only hope that the woman would be found as soon as possible.

As the dormitory aunt said, the number of surveillance cameras at the entrance of the dormitory building is limited and the range is very narrow. They can only see the one-third of an acre of land at the entrance of the building. They are usually used to catch students who return late.

The flower bed was five or six meters away from the entrance of the dormitory building. The flower bed was about 1.5 meters wide and seven or eight meters long, and a few malnourished pines and cypresses were sparsely planted inside.

Xu Muzhou recalled the angle at which Fu Sihan's body subconsciously tilted when he went out in the monitoring, and then identified the direction, thinking that the other party should be standing between the second and third trees.

But Xu Muzhou still patiently searched from the first tree back. He turned on the flashlight and carefully searched for traces along the edge of the flower bed.

The originally soft soil in the flower bed has been continuously baptized by rain and low temperature, and it is frozen as hard as a large piece of ice.Xu Muzhou pressed his hand, and unfortunately found that the hardness of the land is almost impossible to leave footprints.

There are no footprints left around here, and the possibility of finding fingerprints is too difficult.

Xu Muzhou sighed, but he was unwilling to give up just like that, so he turned to the second tree.

But Xu Muzhou's horoscope coincided with Xu Muzhou's today, and Xu Muzhou really found something on the ground between the second tree and the third tree.

——They were some very fine crystals. When Xu Muzhou's flashlight passed by, he almost saw it as the reflection of shattered ice. Later, he felt that something was wrong, so he bent down to check again.

The number of those crystals was not much, and it was inconspicuous when they fell in the mud, but Xu Muzhou squatted aside and looked at them, remembering Fu Sihan's hideous appearance, he didn't dare to reach out to touch them rashly.He put the flashlight in his mouth, took out an evidence bag from his pocket, turned the inside of the evidence bag over and put it on his hands, and picked up a few pieces of soil where there were more crystals scattered.

He sniffed it cautiously from a distance, but he didn't smell the thing.

Xu Muzhou was not sure what it was, the crystal was transparent, and the texture was not much different from that of a ground plastic ruler, but Xu Muzhou thought about it, and decided to take it back for human testing.

He stood up, sealed the mouth of the bag, and covered it with another bag in reverse, and after confirming that the contents of the bag would not be damaged and spilled out, he stood up and prepared to go back to the scene of the crime to see other people's inquiries How's work going.

Before Xu Muzhou took a few steps, his phone rang.He hung up the Bluetooth headset, pressed the call button, and replied as he walked into the teaching building: "Huh?"

"Brother Xu, I found it." Zhang Yue on the other end of the phone was a little out of breath. She was admitted by filling out a volunteer test. There is no subsidy plan for poor students in private high schools, and her tuition and accommodation fees are paid by herself, which is less than [-] yuan a year. Because she is an orphan, the teachers and others have a good impression of her, and they are usually quite impressed. She is taken care of. But I heard that the child is living a good life, and her daily life is not top-notch, but mid-range—and I heard that she has a sponsor."

"Sponsor?" Xu Muzhou asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"The teachers don't know." Zhang Yue shook her head: "I heard it's very mysterious."

Zhang Yue rummaged through the student information in his hand, switched the phone to the right, tilted his head and clamped it, and then said: "About this sponsor, Fu Sihan himself has never said anything about it, but what is certain is that this sponsor must Been sponsoring her since a long time ago—let alone ten years ago.”

Xu Muzhou didn't go in at all, stood in the open space at the entrance of the teaching building, took out a cigarette in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Why?"

Zhang Yue flipped through the documents in her hand, and finally stopped on a page of "Past Education Records".

"Because since Fu Sihan Elementary School, she has been studying in very expensive schools. What kind of bilingual kindergarten, the primary school attached to the international middle school." Zhang Yue said: "Let me tell you Brother Xu, I looked at her student information and wondered if we Checked the wrong household registration status - this is not an orphan, this is like a rich second generation."

Xu Muzhou on the other end of the phone frowned. When he entered the room just now, he took another look at Fu Sihan's body. Although the clothes on the other side were wrinkled, judging from the pair of shoes on his feet, he was indeed doing well. good.

Zhang Yue's page-turning sound stopped, her voice also paused, and there were obvious footsteps coming from the other end of the phone.

"And Brother Xu, I heard that this kid is a bit strange." Zhang Yue said.

Xu Muzhou's eyelids twitched, and he said irritably, "What's so strange?"

"I heard from the teachers that this kid is a bit selfish." Zhang Yue said in a low voice.

Xu Muzhou felt a little strange: "Such a big kid is more or less a little bit, let alone a child with no parents—"

"No, Brother Xu—" Zhang Yue stopped, hesitating how to say: "She is special—hey, forget it, I'm in the building next door to you, I'll come over right away, and tell you face to face."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, she hung up the phone, Xu Muzhou guessed that there might be someone beside her who was inconvenient to talk, so she didn't care, stood up and patted the dust on her body.

"Deputy Captain Xu, where are you?"

Xu Muzhou turned his head and found that the captain of the criminal police of the Baolin District Bureau was coming out of the hall.

"I've been looking for you for a while, and we're about to close the team, but just now the person I went to check the surveillance near the dormitory building and the school gate just sent a message back, and it happened that you didn't leave, so I left it to you." The man said : "The surveillance on the edge of the playground outside the dormitory captured the person who came to look for Fu Sihan. I just sent a clear screenshot back, and the video is being copied..."

Before the man finished speaking, Xu Muzhou's phone rang again as if desperately.

Fortunately, we are all in the same industry, and we are all in the same boat, so we can understand each other without any grievances.

Xu Muzhou pressed the headset to connect to the call, and motioned to the man for him to continue talking.

People like them are always busy without touching the ground. It is common for a person to break into eight pieces and listen to news from several sources at the same time. In front of Xu Muzhou, it is convenient for him to see.

"It's this woman." The man said, "It's just that there is no reference object in the surveillance, the height is not very clear, and the facial information is a bit unclear—"

At the same time, Shen Shuang's voice came from the phone at the same time. He should have finished his work and returned to the Municipal Bureau. Crackling, and faintly speaking human voices.

"Brother Xu, the woman you named Cha has a result." Shen Shuang said: "Thanks to the high-definition big picture, the search is very fast. The woman is He Beibei, 25 years old, graduated from a well-known university, and is a biology student. Engineering. In terms of specific work—it should be a member of a certain research team now."

"And." Shen Shuang said: "She is also an orphan just like Xu Kang."

One second before Shen Shuang said this, Xu Muzhou was not surprised by the result.

His eyes fell on the screen in front of him. The figure on the screen had shoulder-length short hair and was wearing a long pure white coat.The woman in the picture lowers her head, her short hair on the left is pulled behind her ear, revealing the reflective silver earrings on her earlobe.

"I know who she is." Xu Muzhou said.

The man in front of him looked suspicious, and Shen Shuang in the earphone also let out a suspicious sound, asking Xu Muzhou if he knew this person.

However, Xu Muzhou turned a deaf ear to the screams in his ears, his eyes fell on the screen in front of him, the woman on it and the screenshot saved in Xu Muzhou's phone suddenly overlapped at this moment, it was the same person.

——It's He Beibei.

Xu Muzhou had a very bad premonition, he hurriedly said to the man in front of him, please send me the information, then pressed the earphone, and told Shen Shuang hurriedly to check He Beibei's address and work unit.

The criminal investigation team leader in front of him only had time to hear the first half of his words, Xu Muzhou had already jumped three or four meters away when he spoke, and the end of his voice was distorted by the cold wind outside, as if there was a fire burning behind his buttocks.

Xu Muzhou's car was parked outside the school gate. On the way out, he met Zhang Yue who came to him after checking the information. Like a cat chasing a dog, he grabbed Zhang Yue's arm and kept walking. dragging her to run outside.

Zhang Yue was half a head shorter than him, couldn't keep up with his footsteps for a while, and was almost dragged.

But at any rate, the little girl had been under Xu Muzhou's hands for so many years in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, seeing his ugly expression, she staggered a few steps and followed.

"Xu, Brother Xu..." Zhang Yue said, "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that there is a third hidden victim." Xu Muzhou opened the co-pilot's door and stuffed Zhang Yue in, then turned to the driver's seat with a heavy tone: "——It may also be the murderer, I don't know Sure."

After more than ten hours, the second victim with a poker symbol appeared. Zhang Yue also understood the pros and cons of this, and couldn't help but ask seriously: "Is there any new clue?"

Xu Muzhou looked in the rearview mirror, turned around at the start, took off the bluetooth headset from his ear, and threw it into Zhang Yue's arms.

"Listen to Shen Shuang first, and guide me." Xu Muzhou said.

He Beibei, 25 years old, is a researcher in the second group of Shencheng Biological Laboratory. He lives one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the international high school. In the corner of the city center, it is a dormitory area planned by the unit.

For some reason, the uneasiness in Xu Muzhou's heart grew bigger and bigger. Shen Shuang on the other side of the phone knew the seriousness, and immediately searched for a private number to call He Beibei—but the phone line was unblocked. But no one answered.

As the night approached and the street was deserted, Xu Muzhou gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.
