Ten minutes later.

The siren sounded in Liming Community. Xu Yang stood in the corridor and looked outside through the window. After seeing this scene, he squinted his eyes again.

The police arrived much faster than Xu Yang expected.

The police car drove straight in and drove directly to the downstairs of Building No. 4. As the car door opened, Yang Xueqi, who was in uniform, got out of the car first.

After getting out of the car, Yang Xueqi took out another bag from the car, then subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the unit building, and happened to catch Xu Yang's eyes.

Neither of them spoke. Yang Xueqi was the first to lower her head and walk into the corridor.

After Yang Xueqi arrived on the second floor, she went directly to the door of room 4023, glanced inside, frowned slightly, and then asked the team members following her to enter the room to work, while she herself walked to Xu Yang

.

After Yang Xueqi saw Xu Yang, she did not ask about the case immediately, but asked: "Have you had breakfast?"

Xu Yang shook his head.

"I knew you hadn't eaten, so I brought you breakfast."

As he spoke, he handed the bag he was carrying to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was not polite and took it directly.

When he opened it, he found steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk inside. Xu Yang picked up a fried dough stick and started eating.

"Tell me, what's going on?" It wasn't until this moment that Yang Xueqi asked.

"When I woke up in the morning and saw the news on my phone, I thought that Fang Wan'er used to live downstairs, so I planned to come over and have a look."

Xu Yang talked about the situation while eating. Even though he had just seen the bloody scene in 4023, and even though the smell of blood was still filling the corridor, Xu Yang was still eating very calmly. This shows that he is really not calm.

.

"Did you open the door?" Yang Xueqi looked into Xu Yang's eyes and asked.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yang Xueqi, shook his head and said, "No, when I came, the door was ajar."

"So, the door was already open when you came?"

"Um."

"Then before you came, did you hear anything?"

Xu Yang shook his head and said, "No."

"When did you come down?"

"Just a few minutes before I called you."

"You didn't go in?"

"No."

"Have you found anyone suspicious?"

"No."

After a simple inquiry, Yang Xueqi nodded.

"Did you find anything?"

Xu Yang stretched out his left hand, handed the envelope in his hand to Yang Xueqi, and said, "When I opened the door, I found this in the crack of the door."

Yang Xueqi took the envelope, glanced at it, then raised her head and looked at Xu Yang.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xueqi asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

Xu Yang ate slowly, turned his head, glanced at room 4023, which had been cordoned off, shook his head and said: "The information is too little, so I don't have much opinion. However, it should be related to the murder case in the western suburbs."

Hearing this, Yang Xueqi nodded.

After another while, Yang Xueqi looked into Xu Yang's eyes and suddenly asked: "Did you stay up late last night?"

"ah?"

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Yang Xueqi without saying anything for a long time.

Xu Yang hasn't slept since he came back from school. First, because Yang Xueqi brought news about his second uncle, Xu Yang rummaged through the cabinets at home and then because he was chatting with Nie Zi, he played a mirror game and finally waited until dawn.

Xu Yang entered the game world again, and finally came back alive, only to encounter something like this again.

However, that was not what Xu Yang was thinking about at the moment, but that he felt that Yang Xueqi had other intentions when he asked.

Does she know I'm playing games?

Just when Xu Yang was thinking wildly, Yang Xueqi said: "Your eyes are very red. Don't worry too much about your second uncle. You have been waiting for three years. Don't rush now. The truth will come out sooner or later."

"Ok, I know."

Xu Yang lowered his head and ate silently.

Seeing Xu Yang like this, Yang Xueqi, who originally wanted to say something, stopped talking.

In fact, Yang Xueqi was also in poor spirits. She said that Xu Yang's eyes were very red, and so were hers.

After finishing a fried dough stick, Xu Yang changed the subject and asked, "Did your police disclose the news on the Internet?"

After hearing this, Yang Xueqi's face instantly turned ugly. She shook her head and said coldly: "It wasn't us. Someone broke the news to the media and announced this matter."

"Is there someone? Who?" Xu Yang asked subconsciously.

Yang Xueqi shook her head and said with a gloomy face: "The other party broke the news to many media anonymously, and it has not been found out yet."

Hearing this, Xu Yang narrowed his eyes.

Anonymity made Xu Yang immediately think of anonymous seekers and Niezi.

"Then aren't you under a lot of pressure?" Xu Yang said casually.

Yang Xueqi nodded and said: "Just after the last murder case was solved, the Fang Wan'er case appeared again, and there were so many dead at once. The pressure was already great. The superiors asked for a deadline to solve the case, but now this matter has happened

, the superior issued a death order and the case must be solved within a week."

"A week? Didn't you say last night that most of these victims were killed a few years ago? How could the case be solved in such a short time?" Xu Yang said in surprise.

Yang Xueqi glanced at Xu Yang, sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The nature of this case is very bad. The murderer committed nearly twenty crimes in a row, but our police were not aware of it. This in itself is our dereliction of duty."

, and now the media reports have pushed us to the forefront. If the case cannot be solved in a short time, the impact will be unpredictable."

Regarding Yang Xueqi's statement, Xu Yang nodded.

"Is there any progress in the case?"

Yang Xueqi looked into Xu Yang's eyes, narrowed her eyes and said, "Why, are you interested in this case?"

"Interested." Xu Yang nodded.

"Because of your second uncle?"

Xu Yang nodded, shook his head and said, "Not entirely."

"oh?"

Xu Yang explained: "I met Fang Wan'er when I was a child. She was a very beautiful girl. As a former neighbor, something like this happened to her, and I wanted to help."

"What are these?" Yang Xueqi asked, seemingly pointing.

Xu Yang nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Xueqi didn't ask any more questions, but said: "The case is still under investigation. It takes too long, there are too few clues, and the difficulty is too great. There is no progress yet."

Xu Yang was not surprised by this.

"Have the identities of the seventeen male victims been found out?"

Yang Xueqi shook her head and said: "We are still doing biological identification. There are too many dead and it will take time."

Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded, and then his eyes fell on the envelope in Yang Xueqi's hand, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Yang Xueqi saw this and said, "What did you think of?"

"Perhaps you can do some research based on that photo. You might find something useful."

"Um?"

Yang Xueqi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, glanced at the photo in her hand, then raised her head and looked at Xu Yang.

"Do you suspect that these deceased people are Fang Wan'er's classmates?"

"It's not impossible."

"But the age doesn't match up."

"Time to die." Xu Yang picked up the soy milk, took a sip, and said casually.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xueqi narrowed her eyes instantly.

Then, Yang Xueqi turned her head and shouted: "Xiao Li."

A young boy walked over quickly.

"Let's do some research based on this photo and try to find a way to contact the person in the photo."
