After about midnight, Cheng Yi actually came back, and as soon as he came back, he slumped on the sofa tiredly, frowned and closed his eyes, leaning his head back on the chair back.

"Cousin, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao You walked out of the bedroom and turned on the light in the living room. Seeing that Cheng Yi was in a very strange state, he was even more worried.

In the afternoon, when Xiao You met Tao Zhi, and Tao Zhi was beaten until the police came, a murder case happened in another place at the same time.

Cheng Yi's witness picked up the child at the gate of the kindergarten, and two plainclothes policemen followed him to protect him.

But his child didn't come out for a long time, and the witness's mobile phone suddenly received a strange text message: "Don't say anything, come to the bathroom on the third floor of the Wisdom Building, or the little butterfly will fly away."

"Little Butterfly" is his daughter's nickname.

Immediately afterwards, another MMS message came, showing the daughter's butterfly hairpin in the photo.

The witness's body was instantly covered in cold sweat. After he calmed down a little, he did not tell the plainclothes police. He pretended to have diarrhea and held his lower abdomen and begged the teacher to let him go to the toilet first.

The two plainclothes followed with concern.

Plainclothes No. 1: "What's wrong with you?"

"Probably because the bowl of jelly just now was not clean. My stomach hurts very much and I want to go to the toilet." The witness was sweating and expressed distress.

Plainclothes No. 2: "Then let me go with you."

"No, no, no..." The witness hurriedly waved his hands, "Just stay here and watch, and you won't be able to see my daughter until she comes out later."

Plainclothes No. 1: "I'm fine here, you just let him accompany you."

"It's really unnecessary." The witness's facial features were tangled together, "I, I, I... I can't hold it anymore."

The two plainclothes men showed their police IDs, and the kindergarten teacher finally let him in. As soon as the witnesses got in, they ran towards the colorful Wisdom Building.

"Follow him."

Plainclothes No. 1 pushed the shoulder of Plainclothes No. 2, and Plainclothes No. 2 immediately chased after him.

But it's a pity...

He still lost track. The witness did not choose the nearest bathroom on the first floor, and the Wisdom Building was very close to the Smart Building. He did not know whether the witness ran into the Smart Building or went upstairs.

He called the witness's name several times but there was no response, and then he made an anxious call, but no one answered the phone. This was so wrong that plainclothes No. 2 had to go upstairs to look for it, and called his colleagues: "Hello." , he lost it... don't come in, and talk about it after you get the child, it's even worse if the child is lost."

The witness swallowed his saliva and gently pushed open the men's bathroom on the third floor. He saw a shoe of his daughter on the windowsill opposite, and the two windows were wide open.

He suddenly suffocated and ran over like crazy.However... When his attention was completely focused on the windowsill, he ignored the potential extreme danger beside him.

He had barely taken two steps when he felt chills down his spine, and those eyes that he would never forget for the rest of his life flashed in front of him.And then... there is no more...

When plainclothes No. 2 found him, he fell straight in a pool of blood, and the wound on his neck was fatal.

After the forensic autopsy, it was determined that there was only one fatal wound. The murder weapon was an art knife. The murderer's knife skills were very powerful, and the knife wound was smooth and not muddy. Not easy to spot.

Just as Cheng Yi arranged for his colleagues to go to the place that Xiao You said in the police call, he received the news that the witness was killed.

According to a report from a colleague from the forensics department, half a sneaker print was found on the window sill at the scene, which should have been left by the murderer when he jumped out of the window.

Based on the shoe prints, they judged the murderer's approximate stature, combined with the video of the suburban case and the relationship with the victim, the police could easily identify the same person—Su Ziyu.

While looking at the report, Cheng Yi watched the video on the computer screen, and a person's shadow quickly flashed in his mind, and he was so frightened by this thought that he broke out in cold sweat.

"Ada, show me the upper half of Su Ziyu's face drawn by the profiler."

Cheng Yi was so nervous that his voice trembled.

The female police officer quickly took out the profile paper from a stack of documents and handed it to Cheng Yi. At first, Cheng Yi didn't find these eyes familiar, because they were too cold and cruel, and he had never been stared at by such eyes.

But after careful observation this time, cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. These eyes were clearly too familiar, clear, beautiful, innocent, and they had always cast warm, romantic and affectionate eyes on him.

Only when he had delusions, would he feel that these eyes were cruel and indifferent in nature.

Cheng Yi was tightly wrapped in that fear on the way back. He was afraid that his conjecture would be confirmed, and he found countless reasons for Gu Yichen in his mind.

Gu Yichen is a son of a rich family. He has no psychological trauma since he was a child. He has a happy family and a smooth life. He has hardly suffered any setbacks. How could he be the murderer of a serial murder?

Moreover, Su Ziyu is a professional killer, so he doesn't match up with Gu Yichen at all.

What's more, when Su Ziyu committed the crime three years ago, Gu Yichen was still studying abroad...

Cheng Yi told Xiao You all his doubts and the places that contradicted his doubts, and he hoped that Xiao You could provide him with new ideas.

Xiao You lightly exhaled a light blue smoke ring, leaned over into the ashtray on the coffee table and snuffed out the cigarette butt between his fingers: "Actually, you are very resistant to this case now, right? You are subconsciously trying to convince yourself that the murderer It's not him, is it?"

"Well, but my intuition is that he..." Cheng Yi lit another cigarette, smoked and said, "Gu Yichen has a big black mole birthmark on his waist, but the spot on his waist is a knife wound... …He said the mole was gone because of the injury.”

"It's possible."

Xiao You nodded, he didn't want Gu Yichen to be Su Ziyu, he didn't want his cousin to be sad.

But at the same time, he also recalled the first time he saw Gu Yichen. The unintentional murderous look in Gu Yichen's eyes was indeed a mystery, and he didn't tell Cheng Yi about this speculation for the time being.

Cheng Yi's heart is already suffering and flustered enough, he doesn't want to add fuel to the picture without evidence.

"Gu Yichen's grandma has always liked him very much, but last time I went to his house, his grandma didn't know him anymore..."

Cheng Yi talked to himself, and the two of them sat in the smoky living room, but they didn't feel smoky at all.

In Xiao You's impression, cousin can smoke but almost never smokes, this time it must be too sad and uncomfortable to be abnormal.

"Isn't his grandma suffering from dementia? It's normal if you don't know her." Xiao You comforted, and at the same time suggested, "Isn't Gu Yichen in the United States when the crime happened? Find someone to go to the United States to check, maybe there will be new clues. "

Plumes of smoke came out of Cheng Yi's mouth and nose, and he scratched his hair thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll send someone to the United States to investigate."

Every word of his seemed to be struggling to come out of his mouth, which made Xiao You feel extremely painful.
