Delusional world [criminal investigation]

"Affected by heavy snowfall in the No. [-] area, the road is heavily snowed. Temporary traffic control has been implemented on the road. Please detour in time."

Li Hao listened to the sound from the radio in the police car, and looked through the car window at the top of the mountain in the distance.

He couldn't see anything clearly, because the snowflakes that fell at such a high speed were so dense that it was like God sprinkled a handful of white coconuts in the world, and no one could see any scenery clearly through those narrow gaps.

Li Hao dialed the phone to the mountain again.

On Xilong Mountain, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the last cable car was out of service half an hour ago.

Li Hao rushed over immediately after receiving the report. He tried to speed up the car as much as possible, but he still couldn't reach the scene before the mountain was closed.

"Li Hao!" Qu Li knocked on his car window from the outside, "Drive forward, there is a hotel 300 meters away."

Li Hao poked his head out and asked, "What about you?"

"I'll arrange for the ambulance personnel, you go first."

Li Hao nodded and said, "Then hurry up."

Qu Li said "Got it", and then left Li Hao's sight like a gust of wind.

In this way, under the blizzard, the mountain and the mountain were completely isolated into two worlds.

And the people in the villa, whether they live or die, will absolutely not be able to leave that place tonight.

……

"We can't go back."

When someone said this, the heavy snow was falling from the sky to the mountainside.

"I can't go back, I can't go down the mountain at all!" The speaker's tone was already getting impatient, and as soon as he got angry at the maid, the maid immediately said, "I'm really sorry, I'll ask someone to warm up some wine first, everyone Please wait."

"Let's forget about the wine." The person who spoke at this moment changed to another one. He put his hands in the outer pockets of the black down jacket, and because of his height, he had to bow his head when speaking.

The look on the man's face seemed much more relaxed than the others. He smiled and looked at the maid, and said, "It's better to invite the master out first."

"That's right, now is not the time to drink, we should invite President Luo out first." Someone echoed the suggestion.

"Even if President Luo is not feeling well, please let me know. After all, everyone is here to attend his birthday party."

Others started talking, but the maid couldn't respond to each one, so she just nodded and said, "Okay, then please go back to the room first, and I will ask my wife for instructions."

When the maid spoke, she naturally turned to the man in the black down jacket. He was the first to propose to see the owner of the villa, but his actions contradicted his words.

He pulled out a hand, and slowly pulled out a few white feathers that got out of the down jacket, and when he was almost back, he said to the woman standing not far from him, "I'm leaving first."

"Wait, Pei Yin." Roy stopped him and said, "With such heavy snow, you can't go down the mountain alone."

Pei Yin sprinkled a handful of white feathers from his down jacket on the snow-covered ground. He looked up at the forest covered with white mist not far away, and said, "I can."

Roy still disagreed, she looked back at the road leading down the mountain, and said worriedly: "No, it's too dangerous, and it's your first time here, the road here..."

"Miss Luo." A man in standard formal attire suddenly approached and interrupted their conversation.

Roy looked at the speaker, frowned slightly, then recalled, and said, "Oh! Are you a friend of Jing Jue?"

"My name is Qin Mian." Qin Mian took out a police card from his pocket, introduced himself briefly, and then said, "Please return to the villa as soon as possible."

When Pei Yin heard the words, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, followed by an unreasonable resistance.

Pei Yin glanced at Qin Mian's police certificate, before he finished listening to what he had to say, he turned around and walked away from the villa.

Qin Mian grabbed him and said, "Sir, please..."

Almost instantly, Qin Mian's arm holding Pei Yin was folded behind his back, and then an unpleasant voice sounded behind him: "Officer, don't touch me without saying hello, okay?"

Qin Mian's face was stiff, and he looked as if he was about to get angry, but after a few seconds, all he did was to get himself out of Pei Yin's hands smoothly.

"I'm sorry." Qin Mian turned his head, looked at Pei Yin calmly, and said, "However, a corpse has just been found in the villa. It is best for everyone not to leave without authorization until it is confirmed that it is a natural death."

As soon as Qin Mian finished speaking, both Pei Yin and Roy showed different degrees of surprise.

Pei Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, and cast his eyes on the brightly lit villa, while Roy asked, "Corpse? What corpse?"

Perhaps because the owner of the villa is on the same account as her, Roy's emotional fear is more obvious than Pei Yin's.

Roy dug his fingertips into the hem of the skirt, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you talking about...who died?"

"The police have already called the police, and the relevant personnel will be notified of the specific situation after the police investigate." Qin Mian said, "In short, everyone first enters the house, and it is not safe outside."

Roy's face turned pale when he heard this, and he picked up his long skirt and ran back to the villa.

Her sapphire blue skirt swept a neat trace on the snow with messy footprints. Qin Mian looked at her back until the traces on the snow extended to the main entrance of the villa, and then asked Pei Yin again: "Are you sure you want to go?" leave alone?"

Pei Yin glanced at Qin Mian and said, "Very sure."

Then he turned and left without any hindrance.

When Qin Mian returned to the villa, he happened to see Jing Jue coming down from the second floor. He patted the snow off his shoulders, walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Qin Mian asked about the corpse just found on the third floor. He thought that Jing Jue was going upstairs to investigate the scene, but Jing Jue just lifted the white gift bag in his hand, which meant that he just went upstairs to get things.

It was originally a gift for the birthday host. Qin Mian bought it with Jing Jue a few hours ago, but there is no need to give it away now.

——Because the host of the birthday party tonight is dead.

According to the procedures, Qin Mian called the emergency number before calling the police, but that was just a formality, because when the deceased was found, his entire chest was in a state of blood and flesh, and the murder weapon—probably the knife stuck in his neck.

Seeing that Jing Jue had no intention of interfering with it, Qin Mian could only ask, "Then shall we just wait?"

Jing Jue walked down with a blank face, and said, "I have not been reinstated, and I have no right to control it."

Qin Mian followed him down, sighed and said, "Well, anyway, only one person has left, and that's the one who borrowed the fire."

Jing Jue said that he didn't care to ask, but he was still startled when he heard this sentence. He frowned and asked, "Going away?"

Qin Mian flipped through the phone with one hand, and replied "Yes".

At this time, the signal was not good. The photo he just sent to Li Hao was still circling for a long time. Qin Mian habitually pulled down the screen twice, but still couldn’t refresh the new message, so he asked Jing Jue: "Jing team, do you have a mobile phone?" Signal? I can’t send out the message.”

Jing Jue didn't even look at it, and just said "no". Qin Mian was taken aback, then raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Jing Jue's expression was wrong.

Jing Jue said, "You stay here, I'll put the things in the car."

"……Now?"

Qin Mian felt that what Jing Jue had to do should not be as simple as putting things away, but Jing Jue said yes, so he could only watch Jing Jue leave.

Jing Jue knew in advance that it was snowing outside, but when he went out, he was still frowned by the blowing wind.He walked quickly to the parking lot, put away the gifts but did not return immediately.

Jing Jue was looking at the car parked on his right.

It was the car of "the man who came to ask for fire". Qin Mian said that he had left, but his car was still here.

Jing Jue stood at the same spot, raised his head and looked around, but he could only see the mountains and heavy snow, and he couldn't see anything.

The snowflakes fell disorderly, and soon piled thickly on Jing Jue's long eyelashes. Jing Jue stood there for a while, until his vision began to be covered by the falling snowflakes, then turned around and strode away.

Even when stepping on the snow, Jing Jue's footsteps are still steady and windy. Based on this alone, people in distress should not give up this opportunity to ask for help.

But there are also people who don't play their cards according to common sense.

Jing Jue didn't notice it, and just after he turned around, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from behind a tree less than ten meters away from him. The owner of the bloody hand obviously still had the strength to struggle, but he didn't make any sound when Jing Jue appeared.

"Don't move." Someone held a short dagger against Pei Yin's neck and threatened him, "Be quiet if you don't want to die."

Pei Yin's arm was injured, which was the consequence of being attacked unexpectedly just now. Hearing this threatening sentence, he still didn't take seriously the fact that the other party could cut his carotid artery with a single movement. Nodding his head, he asked, "What if you want to die? Is it too late for me to call now?"

The other party sneered in his ear and said, "You can try."

"You can try it, but I'm afraid that you will die if you are not careful. Others will think that I have died with you." Pei Yin moved his fingers slowly, and asked in a low voice deliberately, "How are you doing?"

After Pei Yinhun finished speaking, he found that the dagger was approaching another half an inch. He gasped, and immediately begged for mercy, "Hey, don't be impulsive, or you should tell me who you are first, I am a person with high vision. , in case your appearance does not meet my aesthetics, I have to think about it again."

Pei Yin moved his gaze to the left, looked at the half of the man's face, and asked, "Can you take off the mask first?"

The man's eerie low laughter rang in Pei Yin's ears. Pei Yin always thought it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

"Okay." Pei Yin seemed very helpless, first put on a posture of letting the mermaid go, and waited for the other party to believe that he would not struggle, and then held the dagger that was resting on his neck in an instant.

Pei Yin stood up and turned against the other party in an instant. He knelt down the other party and said leisurely, "Then I can only do it myself."

At the same time that Pei Yin raised his hand to take off the opponent's mask, the man's heel suddenly hit the ground, and the next second, a silver needle popped out of the toe of the shoe, stabbing straight at Pei Yin's defenseless back——
