Mo Bei remembered that day when he asked who proposed to let him come to see Zheng Dong, Qin Dangmian blurted out: "Luo..." and then changed his words to say "a colleague".

At that time Qin Dangmian wanted to talk about someone named Luo, but if it was really his colleague, why did he change his words in a hurry and didn't say his name?

And they all took Mo Bei to visit the hospital. Normally, they should meet this colleague and talk about how to treat Zheng Dong, but Mo Bei never saw this "colleague" from the beginning to the end.

Luo?

Anding Hospital...

Ro...

Luo Yi?

There are so many people surnamed Luo in the world, they may not be the ones I know.Besides, Luo Yi is far away in Beijing, how could he participate in Yunbian's affairs?

However, this incident was clearly aimed at him, and the people behind the scenes should know him.Besides Luo Yi, I really don't know anyone else surnamed Luo.

So——Qin Dangmian and Luo Yi both work in Anding Hospital, could they be from the same institution?Or did you get to know each other because of exchange meetings, study classes, etc. within the medical system?If this premise can be established, it is not impossible for Luo Yi to influence Qin Dangmian.

Mo Bei used his thumbnail to draw a short and deep mark on the table, applying even and slow force, and repeatedly scratched, just like the mark he once left on the wall of the ward. A short fingernail mark represents One day, the seventh day will be doubled, and the mark representing a month will be very clear and long.

At the beginning, the marks were as disciplined as soldiers in a line, but as time went on, they gradually became a little loose, but the longest mark was always exceptionally orderly.Later, the lines did not make rows, the columns did not make columns, and the longest mark became deeper and deeper, wishing to cut through the iron wall with one finger.

What happened next?

When did those marks stop being carved into the walls?After being transferred to the brig, or, before that?

Stop!

Mo Bei forced himself to stop scratching on the table, his fingers twitched a little because he was forced to submit to his will, and he had to send it between his teeth to bite, so as to stop his urge to continue moving.

Suddenly a thought popped up, and Mo Bei was startled, his teeth slipped, and the tip of his tongue tasted blood. ——Could it be that Luo Yi was also reborn?

There was no intersection between him and himself in this life. If it wasn't because of the entanglement in the previous life, there should be no reason to set up this situation.

Who would spend all their time planning to deal with an irrelevant person?

If Luo Yi was really reborn, was he reborn at the same time as himself?Or earlier than yourself?

Did he already stare at him, like a spider lurking in the dark and weaving a web, patiently and quietly watching and calculating.But I didn't know it, thought that there were no natural enemies in the world, and ran to Chaoyang Mobei with all my heart and shuddered.

Thinking of being watched and calculated by Luo Yi all these years after his rebirth, Mo Bei felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles - he didn't even know it, and he was so heartless and silly all day long!

Mo Bei, Mo Bei, how can you be so stupid! ! !

Seeing Mo Bei's listless look, He Lanshan thought that the case had drained his energy and spirit, and he was too embarrassed to use the child like this, so he wanted to send a car to take him home to rest.Mo Bei insisted on walking home by himself - now he looked at everyone as if he had something to do with Luo Yi, and there were ghosts everywhere.

The long journey was completed in a trance, entered the house, closed the door, locked the lock, closed the window, drew the curtains tightly, and checked every corner where monitoring and surveillance equipment could be placed.When he was about to unplug the phone line, Mo Bei shuddered and finally woke up: What am I doing? !

Just Luo Yi's "shadow" scares him into such a virtue?

What a shame!

Mo Bei gave himself a slap in disgust, turned around and opened all the windows, letting the warm air dispel the coldness in the room.Mo Bei pressed his forehead against the window frame, and rolled it hard twice, as if he wanted to crush and rub the rigid brain, and drag back the IQ that had shrunk to the corner due to fear.

Even if you get the upper hand this time, so what, Luo Yi, let's see who can have the last laugh!

"The case has been escalated." He Lanshan pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray full of cigarette butts, crushed it a few times, and waved the smoke in front of him with his hand-but it didn't work. They are all surrounded by "fairy spirit".Seeing that Mo Bei was choking and coughing, He Lanshan got up and opened the window. Mo Bei walked over, and the two of them leaned on the window sill and chatted.

"The reporter of the Evening Post received a letter claiming that the next case in the serial murder case is to imitate the story of "Murder Notes"."

"Is there any clue in the letter?"

"There are no fingerprints, and the words are glued on with words cut from newspapers. The paper and envelope are very ordinary. They didn't go through the post office, and they were put directly in the mailbox of the reporter's house. The middle of the envelope was painted with blood. It formed an unclosed circle. This is consistent with the details in "Murder Notes", including this murder notice."

"Whose blood is it?"

"Blood type O. Zheng Dong himself is type B." He Lanshan paused and said, "But Lu Xiaoyan is type O. Now colleagues from the forensic department are doing an appraisal to see if the blood is Lu Xiaoyan's."

If it belonged to Lu Xiaoyan, it means that the murderer had already planned the next case when he killed Lu Xiaoyan, so he consciously prepared the envelope and smeared Lu Xiaoyan's blood on it.This also shows that the murderer is very planned, not only the third case, it is very likely that he has already designed the fourth, fifth or even more cases.Facing such a scheming murderer, it will obviously be more difficult for the police to arrest him.

If it wasn't Lu Xiaoyan and Zheng Dong's, then there would be three possibilities.Or the murderer is someone else, not the Zheng Dong they think; or the murderer is Zheng Dong, but he has an assistant, this time using the blood of the assistant; or, a new victim has appeared, and the letter written on the envelope is It was the blood of the new victim.

Of course, the third possibility is the worst. Neither He Lanshan nor Mobei want the number of victims to increase.

The fresh air made the smell of smoke in the room fade a lot. He Lanshan motioned Mo Bei to sit down and poured him a glass of water. "You don't look very good. You didn't sleep well after you went back yesterday? Is it the first time you saw the murder scene and you were scared?"

Mo Bei picked up the water glass, moistened his lower lip a little, then put it down again, smiled at He Lanshan, but didn't answer.He didn't know if he had slept yesterday, and his consciousness seemed to be vague for a while, but it was more like he was in a state of being half asleep.When he got up today, he felt as if his head and body were divided into two parts. The head was as light as a balloon, but the body was as heavy as a dozen shot puts.If He Lanshan didn't make a special call, he really didn't want to go out.

He Lanshan did not continue on this topic, but returned to the case again, "I read "Killer's Notes" in general, and I don't have time to read it carefully. If the murderer wants to imitate this story, in addition to the murder notice, he will also choose An eye-catching place to put the corpse. I thought about it. First, there are many people going to this place, so that more people will see the corpse; second, it is convenient for the murderer to transport the corpse and leave. There are not many places like this Maybe the murderer will choose the same location as in the book—Baihua Grand Theater. I will notify the people in the theater to pay attention, and I will also arrange people to monitor there.”

Mo Bei moistened his lips with water again, and said: "But there is a premise for all of this. When the murderer in the book was doing all this, his murder notice had been announced to the world, and many people knew that he was going to kill. But now , I think you should have prevented the newspaper from publishing that letter?"

He Lanshan nodded.

"So, before he kills and abandons the corpse, he has to find another way to attract everyone's attention."

He Lanshan was thoughtful, "If he can't achieve this goal, will the murder be delayed forever?"

"First of all, your assumption has a premise, that is, his order is to announce, kill, and discard the corpse. But in fact, he can completely kill first, then announce, and finally abandon the corpse. If he has a more ingenious way, he It is even possible to put the notice in the last step, complete the killing and abandoning the corpse first, and then let people discover the corpse after the notice. Secondly, the method of attracting attention is not only published in newspapers, it can even be said that publishing newspapers through the media may It is the most unreliable method of forecasting, just like now, the reporter will call the police first after receiving the notice letter, and the police will stop the newspaper after receiving the report. So—"

Mo Bei pondered for a while, "So from the logic of the behavior, the murderer appeared to be self-contradictory. His design of the modus operandi and the way of making predictions seemed to be two people."

"You mean there are two murderers? Zheng Dong and Qin Dangmian? According to the report of the person I sent to monitor Qin Dangmian, his actions in the past two days have not changed from usual."

"Maybe there is a third person."

He Lanshan was silent. The serial murder case was already very serious. If it was committed by a gang, the seriousness of the case would be even more serious. As the captain of the criminal police and the direct person in charge of the case, he was under a lot of pressure.

Mo Bei said, "I'll think of a way to lure the murderer out."

He Lanshan lifted his spirits, "Do you have a solution?"

"He likes my novel so much that he doesn't hesitate to imitate killing people for it. If I, the author, challenge him directly, will he accept it?"

He Lanshan froze for a moment, Mo Bei meant to use himself as a bait?Before He Lanshan could decide whether to agree to the proposal, Mo Bei had already stood up and smiled: "I'll make preparations now." After speaking, he turned around and left, without giving Helan Shan a chance to veto.

He Lanshan was taken aback again. With Mo Bei's intelligence, he would never fail to judge how dangerous it is to use his body as a bait. If there is a slight mistake, he would risk his life indiscriminately, but Mo Bei still made this decision.Whether the ignorant is fearless or sacrifices his life for righteousness, He Lanshan defines Mo Bei's behavior as the latter without much thought.

What an extraordinary young man, I wonder if he would like to be a policeman when he grows up?

Mo Bei didn't know what kind of young hero He Lanshan had turned himself into. What he cared about was to give Luo Yi a hard blow by taking the opportunity to solve the case.

During the time when Mo Bei was preparing, He Lanshan continued to monitor Qin Dangmian and tried his best to search for Zheng Dong's whereabouts, but there was still nothing to gain. Instead, the third case happened as scheduled.

This time, the murderer clearly placed the murder notice in a place that attracted the attention of the whole city, the white marble watch in front of the city hall.

This Huabiao was built by the municipal government last year to imitate Huabiao. Although there is a big difference in materials and workmanship, for many people in Yunbian, it is also a very honorable symbol.However, people who passed by here this morning found that there was a dark red color on the snow-white watch. If you look carefully, it is a few words written in red paint: All things are born to support people, and people have no virtue. In order to repay the heavens, when you kill, you will kill, and it is useless to kill locusts!

People who saw it were puzzled, and many people simply stood under the Huabiao and started talking.The more people gathered, the more people were naturally alarmed, and then the police came, and the city leaders were angry—I thought it was a prank, but at most it was punishing the doorkeeper for negligence, and then calling the cleaners to clean it. It doesn't matter if it's clean, but who knows that this is actually a serial killer announcing the next murder plan!And according to the word "locust beetle", nine times out of ten the ones to be killed are officials!

A mere criminal was so arrogant that he blatantly challenged the city's officials and police officers. If he succeeded, then Yunbian City would definitely be disgraced.

This time, the pressure on He Lanshan was as heavy as being suppressed by Changbai Mountain, but after two days of absence, the wrinkles on He Lanshan's face when he appeared in front of Mo Bei again became a little deeper, only a pair of eyes still let out Zhan Zhan polished light, sharp unparalleled.
