The serious crime team was very efficient. In just a few hours, they sorted out the dossier and other related files according to Lu Xizhan's request.Since Qiao Yixia was no longer a policeman, she didn't go in with her and sat in the car waiting for her.Lu Xizhan turned from the most recent time, trying to find some clues.

The team members are all in high spirits. Lucy is just foreign aid, and their actions are not under her command. Lucifer provides her own conjectures and ideas. They still have their own investigation directions within the group. At least some tasks have already started, and only a few of them are still in the office, and Officer Chu is one of them.

"Officer Chu, look." Lu Xizhan flipped through the files very quickly, giving people a feeling of ten lines at a glance. She was not born with fast eyesight and no special abilities, but after a long period of high-pressure study and lifestyle. The ability to develop slowly.

After reading the first case, Officer Chu was still a little confused, but when he saw the second case, he suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

"They're all girls who have been hurt emotionally, and they haven't returned yet." Officer Chu frowned deeply.

"More than that." Lucy said.

Not only that, Lu Xizhan picked out three files. These three cases are similar to Jia Wu's disappearance case. The three girls before were from ordinary backgrounds, but they were all emotionally hurt before they disappeared. Not long ago, I had an unpleasant encounter with my boyfriend. In the past year, there have been nearly a hundred disappearance cases, large and small. Naturally, more than these three cases, the victim could not be found. The disappearance case was called a tug of war during the investigation process. It is because it is the most difficult to investigate. It is not surprising that many missing girls have been found for as long as three or five years.

But these three girls are special in that they gave Lucy Chanjawu the reason for being kidnapped.

"Professor Lu, you mean, including the case of Jia Wu, the murderer of these several kidnapping cases is the same person?"

"It's just speculation." Before there is no evidence, all assumptions are just inferences, "but if it is indeed done by the same person, then it means that he has become more and more impatient."

The interval between the first case and the second case was four months, the interval between the second and the third case was two months, and the interval between the third case and the Jia Wu case was only half a month.

Officer Chu slapped the table hard, and the water glass in the cup on the table almost overflowed: "Damn it! It's really abominable! If this is really the case, then what is going on with these three girls now, and what is he doing to them?" What have you done!"

Lu Xizhan also felt nervous, but tried her best to appear calm. At this time, she no longer needed to add to Officer Chu's troubles.

So far, Jia Wu has been missing for 71 hours. If her guess is correct, the next victim will appear in a short time, but this also means that Jia Wu's chance of surviving is one point smaller.

This night was still the same as usual. After Qiao Yixia fell asleep, Lucy got up and went to the study. She had to find more clues in the shortest possible time, and she had to find the kidnapper before the next victim appeared.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Lu Xizhan heard a scream from the bedroom, and the pen in her hand rolled down the desk. She immediately got up and went to the bedroom.I saw Qiao Yixia holding her head, trembling uncontrollably, muttering something non-stop.Lu Xizhan knew that what was supposed to come would always come, and she had known it since the trip to Changhua.The inner demon can defeat everything, including life, how can a ring stop it.

"Yixia, don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare." She hugged her gently, feeling her trembling, her heart ached extremely.

"I didn't do it on purpose, no, I didn't, I didn't!" She pushed Lucifer away, and Lucifer couldn't stand still for a moment, and staggered.

Qiao Yixia lifted the quilt and ran out regardless.Lu Xizhan hugged her tightly from behind, no matter how she pinched her hand, even if it was bleeding.

It took some time before Qiao Yixia calmed down.She sat on the ground, like dead wood, lifeless.

"I killed someone..." Qiao Yixia looked down at her palm, then opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Xizhan beside her, "Xizhan, did I kill someone?"

"Fool Yixia, there are only two of us here, aren't you and I both fine, where did you kill who?"

Qiao Yixia shook her head desperately, looking very painful: "I don't know, I feel my head hurts, I don't even know what happened just now, I don't know what I did, I feel that my body is not affected at all. My control, why is it like this... Xizhan, suddenly many pictures flashed in my mind, I felt so strange, but so familiar..."

Lu Xizhan helped her up, and the two of them lay on the bed, she stretched out her arms to put her on the pillow, helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and coaxed her patiently: "My Yixia can't even tell the difference between sleepwalking and reality. Close your eyes, I am here, don't be afraid. Dreams are false, but I am real."

Although there were some episodes that night, Qiao Yixia slept peacefully afterwards and did not have any more nightmares, but Lu Xizhan really stayed up all night.She suddenly felt very scared, afraid that the days when she could hug her tightly like this were numbered, and afraid that the girl who released her from the cold and dark cage might lose her smile.

How nice it would be if you could never think about it.

The next day, Qiao Yixia went to work after breakfast as usual, and seemed to have no memory of what happened last night.

Many things, until the day they actually happen, will never be expected in advance.Just like Qiao Yihai took the initiative to see Lu Xizhan at that time, just like Lu Xizhan appeared at the gate of Qiao's house at this moment.

Qiao's mother likes Lu Xizhan very much. She has liked her for no reason since the first time she saw her in the hospital. Even if Qiao Yixia almost left Qiao's house because of her, she still couldn't really hate her. Maybe, this is The so-called fate.

"I'm here today to ask my uncle and aunt about something."

Qiao Yihai and Qiao's mother looked at each other, tacitly saying: "Miss Lu, although the case of Jia Fu's granddaughter has not been solved yet, you did help me a lot. I am very happy that you can come today. Why don't you send Yixia Call me back, let's have a meal together, so I can express my gratitude to Miss Lu with this."

However, Lu Xizhan ignored his change of topic and said firmly, "Uncle, I want to know what happened that year."

Qiao Yihai could no longer pretend to smile, he knew that what should come would always come, and a person like Lu Xizhan would not leave easily without getting the answer she wanted.

"Professor Lu." He changed his address, "The deceased is gone, and it is meaningless to bring up the past now. It will only increase the grief of the living."

"To tell the truth to the two elders, Yixia is not in good spirits, very bad." When she said this, she felt a twinge in her heart.

Mother Qiao's expression instantly became melancholy and dignified, but she didn't know how to speak, and in the end she just shook her head and looked at Qiao Yihai.

"I also have some understanding of the past events back then. Although I am not completely transparent, I know how hard it has brought to my uncles and aunts. Maybe the truth is not good. I am not a cold-blooded person, and I did not let the two The meaning of retelling the painful past. I just hope, Uncle, you can give me an answer. Does that matter have anything to do with Yixia? We are all people who love her deeply, no matter who it is, I don't even want to hurt her. If you trust me, tell me the truth, and I will do my best, even if you do something that violates morality and destroys humanity, you must protect her from harm."

Hearing this, Mother Qiao burst into tears.She thought, it would be great if one of Yixia or Xizhan was a man. They have a love for each other that is more important than life. Accept it, but can't bear to dismantle it.

Qiao Yihai got up and walked to the French window with cold eyes and hands behind his back.It turns out that he also has times when his heart is tired and heartbroken, such as now.He didn't even know who this heartache was for, for Yixia, or for Yihui, or for this fate that made people want to curse?

"Have."

Lu Xizhan held back the tears choked in her throat. The sadness was so intense that she couldn't breathe for a while.

"In the past, I can't get over it, and I can't come back. It's all bad fate." Qiao Yihai looked out the window from a distance, tears in his eyes.

Lu Xizhan got up slowly, and bowed deeply to Qiao's mother and Qiao Yihai twice.Qiao's mother looked at Lu Xizhan's back, and the heavy "thank you" hit her heart, making her cry bitterly.

——Thank you, for so many years, you have treated Yixia as your own, and treated her better than your own daughter.

——Thank you, you have tolerated and made concessions beyond the scope of love, forgave her, and loved her so far.

——Thank you, you chose to trust me in the end, and entrusted her all her emotions to me.

Thank you.
