There is still a bit of coolness in the early summer nights.
In the courtyard of a complex and beautifully decorated deep house, a girl in a light-colored dress gently closed the door of her room. She walked alone through the dark alley in the house, arrived at another courtyard, stood outside the door of the house and called softly. A few times,
"Sister, sister?"
No one responded in the unlit room. The girl stretched out her jade hand and slowly opened the door to the room.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill female scream sounded in the dark room.
Following this scream, more lights gradually lit up in the mansion, and servants and servants ran out of the mansion. They made a fuss for a while, and finally they all chased a person on the wall with a roar. The dark shadow flashed away.
The screams reached the small noodle shop at the corner of the street not far away. The young man who was pouring chili noodles into the noodle bowl was so shocked that his hand shook and half the bottle of chili noodles went into the noodle bowl.
"Oh, what's going on!" The young master looked at the red noodle soup and gritted his teeth angrily.
The noodle shop owner was so frightened that he froze behind the counter and said tremblingly, "Yes, the murderer has committed another crime, right?"
"Murderer?" When the young man heard this, not only did he not panic, but he became interested. He came to the door with a bowl of noodles and looked around curiously.
"Hey, the big courtyard not far ahead is getting lively."
When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but feel even more frightened, "Oh no, this thief has done all his evil to the Shen Mansion!"
"Shen's Mansion? It's quite rich, right?" This young man, who was dressed a little weirdly and had long hair like a girl, leaned against the door and muttered. He picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth. He grinned in anger. .
The boss looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Liucheng has such an atmosphere, and he still wants to eat noodles in such a leisurely manner. However, he also thinks that he is just a child, so he kindly reminds him,
"It's not peaceful in Liucheng lately. You kid, don't go out in the wild at this late hour. Eat some noodles and go home."
"It's not peaceful." Even though the boy was teased by the spicy Sihas, he still persisted in devouring the two taels of noodles. While he was inhaling to relieve the spicy taste, he chatted with the boss, "I think the store will be opened at night. There are not many shops left, but the boss is still open now, he is very brave."
"If you hadn't come in, I would have closed the shop and left a long time ago," the boss sighed, "I originally opened the store after Xu hour, but now I will close it before Xu hour."
When the time was mentioned, the boy's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then what time is it now?"
"It's midnight," the boss answered him, "didn't the shift just pass by?"
"Oh, that's right, I suddenly forgot." After finishing the noodles, the boy looked at the still warm noodle soup in the bowl. He felt cruel, held his breath, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha!" Naturally, the result was that he opened his mouth wide and kept fanning his mouth with his hands.
Seeing this, the boss picked up the teapot and said, "Why don't you drink some tea to relieve the spiciness?"
The young man calmed down and looked at him, "Do you want money?"
"I don't want yours anymore."
"Then give me more!"
The young man drank another half of the pot of tea before showing a relieved expression, "The chili peppers you have in the south are really strong."
At this time, the noise outside was gradually coming towards the noodle shop. The young man paid for the noodles, waved his hands and left.
After he left, the noodle shop owner belatedly realized that the child seemed to be a foreigner.
Should I report it to the police?
At dawn the next day, big news broke out in the small town.
There was a lot of noise in the Shen Mansion last night because the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yuelan, was killed. Mr. Shen ran to knock on the door of the police station at night, dragging all the detectives out to handle the case regardless of whether they were asleep or not. .
Who is Master Shen? He is the richest man in the city and the largest taxpayer in this small place called "Liucheng". Even the police station has to pay attention to Master Shen's face.
The eldest daughter who was killed, Shen Yuelan, was known as "Ms. Lan" in Liucheng because she was well-educated, gentle and sensible. She was a model for a girl in Liucheng.
A group of sleepy-eyed police detectives went to the scene of the crime but could not figure out the reason. They could only draw a hasty conclusion that Ms. Lan was killed by a serial murderer who had been rampant in Liucheng recently and committed several crimes.
Let’s talk about Liucheng. It has pleasant scenery and simple and honest people. It is a livable small town.
Ah, at least until this year.
Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, there have been eleven tragic murders in Liucheng. The victims were all young women, and all of them were raped and then killed.
Oh, to be more careful, that's not all.
The victim in the eleventh case yesterday, Ms. Lan, was only stabbed in the throat and not raped. At least the Shen family swore that she was not raped.
The victims in the previous ten cases were either commoner women with simple social connections, or fireworks women with low status or unspeakable status, but this time the deceased was the daughter of Mr. Shen, the richest man in Liucheng.
Dozens of murder cases have already made the people of Liucheng panic. The death of such a well-known figure has aroused public anger in panic. People have accused the police station of inaction. Mr. Shen, who lost his beloved daughter, even appeared in front of the police station. He cursed loudly and denounced that the taxes he paid over the years had only fed a bunch of ricers.
In just one day, Liucheng was almost turned upside down.
In order to appease public opinion, and more likely to appease Mr. Shen, the top taxpayer, the superiors sent a detective named Chang to investigate the case.
Detective Chang rushed to the police station as soon as he got off the train and started working on the case. If you want to ask him, what did he solve?
Damn it, it’s a shitty thing to do.
The Liucheng Police Department's investigation files on these murder cases are basically a pile of waste paper. No matter how smart Inspector Chang is, he still gets angry when such a mess happens.
What's even worse is that in the evening, Miss Lan's fiancé also rushed back from other places to interrogate his fiancée's case.
As the saying goes, a rich man marries a rich man. This fiancé's name is Zhuang Youjie, who is also the son of a big local family. Although the Zhuang family's business in Liucheng is not as big as the Shen family's, I heard that this young master Zhuang has made great achievements in academics and is now outside. As a teacher in a big city, Xu had met celebrities from all walks of life, so naturally he couldn't be ignored. Inspector Chang quickly greeted him with a smile.
Detective Chang himself was not familiar with these cases, so how could he explain it to Master Zhuang, so he took advantage of the fact that it was getting late and invited him to try the food in the police canteen, during which he racked his brains all his life to make up stories Come up with some appropriate official statements to deal with it.
Under Inspector Chang's arrangement, the two of them finished dinner when it was completely dark. Inspector Chang wanted Zhuang Youjie to go home first, saying that he would give him an explanation sooner or later. Unexpectedly, the eldest young man did not know if he had a knack for studying. If you die, you have to follow him back to the office and listen to his bullshit analysis.
Inspector Chang was really dying. He couldn't get rid of this sticky candy, so he could only take him back to the office with a sullen face. When he opened the door, he found a sixteen or seventeen-year-old "girl" sitting on his desk. .
The "girl" has long hair disheveled and wears a stand-up collared button-down shirt with traces of time. She sits on the table and reads files.
Detective Chang was so frightened that he almost vomited his dinner. He reached out to pull out the gun from his waist, "Who are you?"
"guest."
The "girl" on the table calmly closed the book in her hand.
