Chapter 15

When the morning light first appeared, Lin Anshan was as quiet as a painting.

There are many mountains and rivers in the south. This is the most ordinary low mountain in the suburbs of Lin City, and has not been developed for tourism. If it weren't for the murder, even the local Xu Xu would not know that there was a luxurious villa hidden on the hillside.

When Ji Bai and Xu Xu arrived, there were already several policemen in the jurisdiction at the scene. Others from the city criminal police team were also on the way.

Hidden trees, a white cobblestone path connects the villa with the highway. The villa covers a wide area and is surrounded by high walls and large iron gates. A policeman reported: "The security system of the villa was damaged and failed, and the gate is open."

Ji Bai nodded and took Xu Xu in.

Along the way, Xu Xu was very quiet, and he quickly recalled all the clues about Ye Zixi in his mind. It was just inexplicably, his chest was a little blocked. When Ye Zixi's clear face flashed through his mind, the blocked feeling would become heavy. So she became even more silent.

Ji Bai did not notice Xu Xu's emotions. He habitually lit a cigarette and smoked it in the car with a light expression.

Over the years, whenever he heard a murder, it seemed that a cold current flowed through his heart. The cold current was silent, wide and rapid, and in an instant, dissipated invisible. And he was as calm as before, and could look at every dripping corpse alertly.

The dark brown door was open, and the smell of blood was filled with a little odor. Through the long corridor, you could see dried blood, like countless streams, winding from the snow-white carpet under your feet to the corpse next to the sofa.

Even though I had seen a dead body at the police academy, Xu Xu was stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Zixi like this. The world around him seemed to have quieted in an instant, leaving only Ye Zixi's fair, naked and messy body.

There were five paper-cutting knives inserted in the upper arm, thighs and abdomen. The edges were clean and neat, and it looked like she was going to nail her to a pool of blood. Only the wound on the abdomen was bloody and covered with multiple scratches. There was a slender wound on the left chest, and the solidified blood was blooming like a hideous flower, blooming from the chest.

On her right foot, she threw a white coat, which was soaked in half by blood, bright and weird.

"Has anyone touched a corpse?" Ji Bai's calm voice sounded, and Xu Xu instantly came back to his senses.

"Yes, this kid, he found the body." The policeman next to him replied.

Xu Xu and Ji Bai looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a young man sitting under the snow-white wall. From the beginning of their entry, they kept holding their hair with both hands and motionless.

Xu Xu's heart was trembling: "Ye Zixiao?"

The man suddenly looked up at them, but he didn't see them overnight. His handsome face was full of depressedness and his eyes were covered with bloodshot: "Xu Xu..."

"It's him who called the police." The police said.

Ye Zixiao looked at Ji Bai and Xu coming over in a daze, and then he realized that his whole body was so stiff that it was difficult to move.

"Mr. Ye, please tell the police everything you know." Ji Bai said.

Ye Zixiao nodded, but his eyes fell on Xu Xu's face. Her dark eyes seemed to show unbearableness. Ye Zixiao's heart trembled and he murmured: "Xu Xu, Zixi is dead... she is dead. She is gone."

Xu Xu squatted in front of Ye Zixiao, looked at him in a straight line, and said word by word: "I know you are sad. Calm down first and tell us everything you know."

This calm and cool voice seemed to have a stable power that sootheed his heart. In the face of the death of his loved ones, her once cold and bone-black words and her indifference refusal became unremarkable.

Ye Zixiao has never been like this now, with such a strong desire to embrace her in her arms, and greedily absorbing the cold and soft breath...

With his fists silently clenched, he took out his cell phone from his pocket: "I received a text message from her."

Xu Xu took it and looked at it, was slightly stunned and handed it to Ji Bai.

"Save me at No. 3 Yuema Road, Lin'anshan" sent the message was Ye Zixi, and it was 22:17 last night.

"When did you arrive here?" Ji Bai asked in a deep voice, and Xu Xu also looked at him.

The police had asked this question before, but when answering again, Ye Zixiao's voice was still trembling: "I fell asleep. I saw the text message at about five o'clock." It was obvious that he felt guilty that if he had seen the text message earlier, Ye Zixi might have been saved.

"No one can predict everything." Ji Bai said calmly, "No need to blame himself."

Ye Zixiao smiled bitterly.

Xu Xu asked: "Is this Ye Zixi's house?"

Ye Zixiao shook his head: "I don't know. She has a lot of industries."

He told everything about this morning: he saw the text message at about five o'clock and drove here immediately. When he came, everything in the room was the same as it is now. The only difference was that he was covered with a white coat. He didn't think much at the time, just wanted to make sure Ye Zixi was dead or alive. He lifted his clothes and saw the corpse with a paper cutter.

"Didn't you arrest the last blade prisoner?" Ye Zixiao asked with red eyes, "He has an accomplice, right? Because Zixi escaped from death, would he still want to kill her?"

Neither Ji Bai nor Xu Xu answered. The police did not announce the investigation of the blade case to the public, but told the victim the results of the investigation, and Ye Zixi must have told Zixiao too.

But today, the blade reappeared and killed the former victim.

At this time, Zhao Han arrived, Ji Bai asked him to take Ye Zixiao back to the bureau to calm his emotions and make detailed records later. Before they left, Xu Xu chased him out and asked, "When you came in, how did your clothes cover Zixi?"

Zi Xiao was stunned: "What does it mean?"

Xu Xu replied: "It's very messy, or very neat?"

Zixiao recalled and replied: "It's not messy, it's like someone is covering it, only the arms and calves are exposed. So I... took off my clothes and saw what's going on."

Xu Xu nodded: "I understand."

Zixiao looked at her, and his heart ached, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Xu nodded: "I understand, we will do our best."

Zi Xiao finally couldn't help it, so he reached out to hug her and hugged her. He noticed that her body had stiffened. He sucked the clear breath hard and immediately let go: "Thank you, Xu Xu."

There were many doubts. This was Xu Xu's most intuitive feeling. When he returned to the house again, he saw Ji Bai standing in front of the body with his hands on his back. He turned his eyes to look at her and said in a deep voice: "Look at the scene."

Xu Xu followed.

During the case handling process, Ji Bai was very solemn, without any ordinary smile, and was as strict as if he was cutting a knife and axe. When Xu Xu came back, he wanted to let her learn the entire process of her exploration site.

His eyes first stopped on the corpse, pondered for a moment, and spoke: "I said, remember."

"yes."

"There are signs of fighting in the living room, and the fatal injury is only in the chest. This may be because the deceased sent a text message, and the wound caused difficulty in breathing and unable to speak..." His voice was as deep as water, and Xu Xu wrote as if he was flying.

There are many villa rooms, but there is only one bedroom, and the others are study rooms, diversified rooms, or vacant rooms. Ji Bai stood at the door of the master bedroom, and the room was elegant and tidy, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

His eyes stopped on several rows of wardrobes in the cloakroom again. Just as he was about to walk over, a petite figure suddenly came up from the side, walked around him and walked to the wardrobe. He opened the cabinet door first, turned his back to him, held his chin with one hand, and began to observe carefully.

Seeing that the little guy was blocking his view for granted, Ji Bai suddenly felt a hint of funny relaxation.

He reached out, lifted her collar, and put it aside.

Xu Xu, who was instantly moved, immediately looked at him unhappy: "What are you doing?"

"Stand behind me." Ji Bai said concisely.

"Why?" Xu Xu frowned violently.

Ji Bai glanced at her indifferently: "How many times did you explore the scene of the murder?"

"first."

"so?"

Xu Xu: "..."

Ji Bai no longer cared about her and continued to check it out.

Xu Xu had no choice but to speak again, with a slightly patient tone: "The problem is that you are too high. When you say it, I was blocked and I couldn't see anything..."

"Stand by my side." He interrupted her without looking back.

Xu Xu immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the wardrobe with him.

Ji Bai was originally focused on checking, but after a while, he suddenly felt a soft touch, which was pressed against the back of his hand, making him feel numb.

When his eyes turned slightly, Xu Xu was holding his fair little face without squinting. What he just met was her glove-wearing finger.

If this were another woman, Ji Bai would retreat a little calmly, but she didn't care too much about it when she stretched her neck and stretched her neck seriously.

After a while, I suddenly felt her move. I looked sideways and laughed slightly. She realized that the two of them were close together. She frowned slightly and inserted her hands into her pockets, resolutely avoiding him.

After a rough check, there were more than twenty pieces of clothing in the first wardrobe, and only about ten pieces of clothing in the other two wardrobe; there was another shoe rack on both sides of the east and west, scattered with women's shoes of various seasons and materials.

After the entire villa was investigated, he returned to the living room. Except for this place, the rest of the place seemed neat and orderly. At this time, Lao Wu and another senior criminal police arrived and were taking photos around Ye Zixi's body. This made Xu Xu's chest a little blocked, and he turned his head to check out other things in the living room.

The sofa is black leather with no scars; there are several calligraphy and paintings with vigorous pens hanging on the wall; on the open flow table next to it, there is a bowl of vegetable salad and a bowl of sashimi. The stench you smell when you enter the door is emitted by the broken sashimi. Open the refrigerator and find a lot of ingredients. It can be seen that the murder happened very suddenly, and Zi Xi was preparing for a midnight snack before.

After a while, Ji Bai asked everyone to meet outside the house.

The forensic doctor reported the preliminary autopsy results and estimated that the death time was between 9:00 and 4:00 last night. This is consistent with the time of the text message Ye Zixiao received.

Another person said: "In preliminary survey, no fingerprints were found, nor obvious footprints were found. Someone had cleared the scene. The villa had perfect security measures, but all the equipment in the security room was destroyed and clues could not be obtained from the surveillance video. There were few people here, and no witnesses were found for the time being."

This means that after the preliminary survey, no valuable physical evidence was found on the site. Everyone fell silent.

This is not a simple case. The murderer has very keen anti-reconnaissance skills. Could it be that he is really a very cruel high-IQ criminal who imitates Yang Yu?

"Boss, what do you think?" someone asked.

Ji Bai did not answer immediately, but looked at Xu Xu who was frowning and contemplative: "Tell me what you think."

After he said this, everyone saw it.

Compared to entering the police station, Xu Xu is no longer so young and nodded: "I think the murderer is someone who knows Ye Zixi and has a deep relationship. It is recommended to start an investigation from the people around her."

"Why?" a detective asked with interest.

Xu Xu: "There are two evidences on behaviors.

The first is Ye Zixi's behavior. She sent a text message to "Save me" instead of "reporting the police". This is unreasonable. If Ye Zixiao calls the police, the police in the area will definitely come faster than Ye Zixiao in the city and can also provide first aid to her. Ye Zixi is a person with very good psychological qualities and quick thinking. Even if she is dying, I believe she can make a more beneficial judgment unless she does not want to call the police. The murderer is someone she knows.

The second is the murderer's behavior. The murderer not only stabs the victim in the vital position, but also inserts a paper cutter into the body. On the surface, this is an unnecessary abuse, like a kind of ritual or mark of his.

But when the witness first discovered the deceased, his body was covered with clothes. This behavior may most likely reflect two emotions: guilt or pity. How could a perverted killer who committed a random crime have such emotions towards her?

So I think the murderer has a very complicated emotion towards Ye Zixi. And it is not clear why he imitates Yang Yu. Maybe it's just to confuse the police's attention."

Everyone was silent when Ji Bai looked at her, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Old Wu was the first to speak: "I agree. There are too many doubts left in this case, and there are very heavy artificial signs. Team Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Bai nodded: "I agree with her. Add two points:

1. The murderer may be two people, one leads and one subordinate;
