"Sir, sir?"

The investigator's voice was indistinct, and countless images flooded Qing Changye's vision.In the office where people come and go, there are constant phone calls, clattering of keyboards, and conversations mixed in Chinese and English——

"Long night," the person next to him interrupted his train of thought: "This is the case that happened on the street in the early morning three days ago, and it is already the fourth case. It is the same as the previous few times. The murderer drew a flower with a black pen on the victim's body." Rose, took away part of the body, the difference is..." He motioned Qing Changye to look at the scene photo on the table, the victim's death was very miserable, except for fatal injuries, the scratched face and chest proved the death of the deceased Been abused: "This time he went a little too far."

"He is angry," Qing Changye said after reading the photos: "He wants to get enough attention, the whole world, or just for a specific person. But until now we still don't agree to let the news media broadcast these few murders He’s angry at the delay in getting a response. He’s mocking society for not being able to stop him, which is part of sociopaths in general.”

The colleague sighed. Qing Changye had seen this person more than once in his memory, and he was somewhat familiar with him. He must have a good relationship with his former self: "Is there a mistake in the previous profile?"

"Wrong. We used to think that he was an office worker from the middle class of society, who was depressed because he was not appreciated or promoted for a long time," the colleague paused: "But we discovered this recently."

Qing Changye swiped the tablet twice, and the picture that appeared on the top of the screen made him startled involuntarily.It was the corpse of a woman. Unlike the previous corpses that had been discarded indiscriminately, with missing limbs and arms, this corpse was particularly stunning.It was a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a long sea-blue wig hanging down her back, she was naked, and there were a few bright fish scales stuck to her bare shoulders.Even if you can't see it at a glance, but if you look carefully, you can find that the murderer is trying to shape her into a mermaid. She wears a mermaid skirt with blue sequins on her lower waist, and her feet are wrapped around her legs. A circle of dark green algae.Just by looking at the picture, it is clear that the murderer loves the corpse very much.He put wigs and symbolic costumes on the corpses, and even the fresh seaweed was a testament to the careful preparation.

"The mermaid is a symbol of eternal beauty." My colleague said before Qing Changye spoke: "He has a certain sense of aesthetics, and after being familiar with deprivation of life, he began to try to dispose of corpses in a more artistic way. Such a person is not It would be depressing. Our previous profile was very different from the reality."

"And his usual bad habits," Qing Changye pointed at the girl's empty eye sockets with his white fingers: "He took away part of the deceased's organs."

"A serial murderer from the upper class with a sense of art, although we don't know why he took part of the body, but..." The colleague paused: "You don't think that from the first two points alone, it is very suitable for a certain person. ?"

"Chi Wang just has criminal tendencies," Qing Changye shook his head: "It's unlikely that he would do such a thing."

"But he has never had a clear alibi." A colleague pointed out the most critical point: "This case is now the fifth case, and Chi Wang has never been able to prove that he was with someone else."

"Normal people sleep at home in the early hours of the morning," Qing Changye held the pen in his hand, and he turned it around a few times carelessly.His joints are thin and long, covered with thin muscle tissue, and dark blue blood vessels under the fair skin slightly protrude.Qing Changye wrote something casually on the white paper next to him: "However, he can be included as a suspect."

He now goes to Chiwang to report twice a week.The young rich man on the sofa was fighting with a game controller. Judging from the empty tequila bottle on the table, Chi Wang drank a lot last night.Mai Shiranui on the big screen was babbling, fans and fists beat the enemies into the air, I don’t know why Chi Wang especially likes to play female characters, even the one Chi Wang picked for him when they first met in the video game city a few years ago was also a female character. type car, maybe the other party has a personal demon?

"Where were you around three o'clock in the morning last Thursday? What were you doing?"

"Here," he raised his toes and pointed to his home: "sleep."

"Can someone prove it for you?"

"It stands to reason that I should find a beautiful woman to accompany me during the long night." Chi Wang didn't look back at the screen, blood streaks flashed across the handsome and delicate face of the mixed race: "But, no."

"We're investigating a serial murder case," Qing Changye motioned him to look at the photo of the girl's body. According to the rules, such things cannot be shown to unrelated people, not even suspects, but Chi Wang is very special.Qing Changye wanted to know his reaction when he saw the corpse.Judging from the scene, the murderer loved the corpse disguised as a mermaid: "This is the fifth victim, and the murderer dressed her as a mermaid."

"Wow." Chi Wang stopped the game, his attention was attracted by the picture.A glimmer of light flashed across the man's long and narrow fox eyes, Qing Changye's heart skipped a beat, he clearly saw the deep interest and appreciation in the other's eyes.The next moment, he heard Chi Wang say: "Big breasts and thin waist."

"..."

"It's beautiful," he seemed a little unacceptable to the sequined mermaid skirt: "but why wrap the long legs?"

"...I don't know," Qing Changye paused, "I thought you were a pervert and could better understand the murderer's psychology."

"Maybe I'm not necessarily the murderer." He pointed to his temple: "After all, they want to kill this and that every day. Maybe I killed her while sleepwalking and decorated her as a mermaid. Maybe someday I'll rape and kill you a hundred times too," he suddenly moved closer to Qing Changye, with an inexplicable meaning in his charming voice, Chi Wang looked straight at him: "Are you afraid?"

general.Almost familiar with your crazy routine.

Qing Changye nodded.

After the inquiry about the murder case, he and Chi Wang started playing SNK, and after the game they watched a movie together.It is a lesbian film, which tells the story of a beautiful female teacher who intentionally pleases her student after falling in love with her, and the student is isolated and committed suicide by the teacher's admirers one after another.social thriller.Qing Changye felt sleepy watching it, but Chi Wang next to him was concentrating. Just because of this alone, he was very abnormal.The treatment for Chi Wang has always been simple, but the benefit of being with him for a few hours is equivalent to Qing Changye's salary for more than half a year.After the movie finished, Qing Changye received a call, and his colleague told him on the other end that a new body was found a few hours ago, and the autopsy results showed that the deceased passed away at one o'clock last night.The other party asked him to hurry back, and after explaining to Chi Wang, the latter suggested driving him.

Chi Wang lived in a remote place, and it was rush hour now, even if he used taxi-hailing software, he might not be able to get a taxi.After Qing Changye responded, Chi Wang went to the underground garage.The victim of the sixth case was a male, 25 years old, of yellow race.He is an independent painter who rented his own studio in the suburbs. When Qing Changye came to the analysis team, his colleague was sorting out the materials. The person next to him wanted to stop Chi Wang, but the colleague shook his head: "Mr. Chi and we are old acquaintances." , he won't tell these things," the colleague winked at Chi Wang: "Are you right? A handsome guy."

Chi Wang smiled and put Qing Changye on the shoulder: "Usually I am more rude to acquaintances, but I will not cause trouble for Xiao Ye."

The colleague looked at Qing Changye, and once again showed the expression of putting "Fuck, he really likes you, when will we be together" into the juicer for 3 minutes and then poured it out. The colleague seemed to be a member of their group. Long, no one objected after speaking.He motioned Qing Changye and Chi Wang to look at the picture together.It seems that because of staying in the studio without seeing the light all year round, the painter's skin is extremely fair, it is that kind of white and almost transparent color, and blood vessels can be vaguely glimpsed under a little sunlight.The painter wears a heavy and complicated corolla on his head, which is extraordinarily exquisitely woven. Because it was discovered late, the laurel flowers used for weaving have been somewhat shriveled. The painter is lying on a rocking chair with only a white cloth covering his body. The traditional decoration shows that the murderer this time depicted the deceased's body as a specific object.

"Apollo?"

Chi Wang was the first to speak, and his eyes fell on the laurel wreath. In myths and legends, Apollo was madly in love with Daphne who was transformed into a laurel tree.His colleague's eyes jumped, and he looked at Chi Wang with some confusion.Qing Changye saw that his colleague was hesitating to speak, and his eyes glanced over Chi Wang's back and landed on the photos taken at the scene. It was the same as the previous few times. The murderer took away part of the body. This time he chose Corpse hands.It is slightly incomprehensible that the right hand of the abandoned corpse was found at the scene, and the murderer seemed to only take the left hand after comparison.The colleague gave Qing Changye a wink, motioning him to step aside with him.

"Apollo is a beautiful man in Greek mythology, plus the mermaid who symbolizes eternal beauty, the murderer seems to be implying something."

Qing Changye took over the words: "He only picked his left hand, but he was not satisfied with his right hand, because the artist's right hand holds a brush all year round, and there is dirty paint on it. He hopes that the limbs he took away are perfect." He paused Dayton: "Is it possible that the murderer is in love with someone, and he is using the dead body to show his love for this person. Or, he thinks this person is so beautiful that he wants to take the most perfect and most beautiful person from all the victims. Close to the part of the person I admire..."

"In the end, they were combined for courtship. It's the same as my speculation just now, the tacit understanding is still the same, Long Night." The colleague smiled: "Adding the previous evidence, we have never known the reason why he took the body part, eight out of ten Nine is just that."

"Why do you—" Before Chi Wang's name was said, the colleague's expression turned cold: "The reason why I let Chi Wang see the photos is because this case happened at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was different from the previous midnight crime. We Previously, people who met the profile conditions were screened across the city. Although the profile was wrong, we focused on the time when the murderer committed the crime. The murderer knew that we were using the time to investigate his identity. It is very likely that the murderer has a considerable understanding of our actions, and this time he deliberately chose to act during the day. All the people he took away were men, and women who can commit such serial cases are usually not women. He is a homosexual, And...the female corpse disguised as a mermaid has a pair of black eyes."

Most of the places where Qing Changye worked were white people. Other than him, there was only a geek typing on the keyboard and a female secretary serving coffee. Obviously, he met the criteria of representing beauty in the murderer's heart.What's more, the artist's hand that was thrown on the scene...is very similar to his hand.

The same slender and long joints, fair skin, and faint blue blood vessels.

If the person next to him is a murderer, that person must be able to see his body often.

"He knows you, your work and your personal information," the colleague couldn't help but glance at the man who was talking and laughing with a female detective in the corner. Chi Wang is a natural luminous body, attracting countless attention wherever he goes : "And he is courting you with a dead body, Ah Ye."
