    Bei Xiaofan knocked on the door panel three times, she was very anxious, before waiting for a reply from inside, she knocked three more times hastily.

    Until Feng Lv's recognizable bass came from inside: "Come in."

    Bei Xiaofan slammed down the doorknob and opened the door.

    As soon as Bei Xiaofan lifted her foot, she couldn't wait to ask about the picture she saw on the big screen in the meeting room earlier: "Team closure, that picture, that gift box—"

    "The door, close it."

    Feng Lv sat behind the desk. He was dressed in a straight uniform, and his face was cold and hard.

    Sunlight came in from the window on the left, and half of his profile face was almost melted in the light.

    Even when Bei Xiaofan was in such an anxious state, he was still unhurried, calm as if everything was under control.

    Bei Xiaofan's anxious mood gradually calmed down after Feng Lv's performance. She nodded, then turned to close the door behind her, and then walked to Feng Lv's desk.

    The sudden emotion was interrupted suddenly, Bei Xiaofan's lips moved, and he didn't know how to express her previous thoughts.

    Feng Lv didn't care about Bei Xiaofan's emotions, he threw the folder in front of Bei Xiaofan: "Look for yourself."

    Bei Xiaofan was stunned for a moment before opening the folder.

    There is a stack of photos in the folder.

    Bei Xiaofan picked up the stack of photos and found that they were all from the scene of the second case.Bei Xiaofan didn't understand what Feng Lv did, but when she looked up, Feng Lv had already continued to process other documents, so she had to look through these photos one by one.

    The previous photos were all viewed in turn on the big screen in the meeting room. It wasn't until the last few photos that Bei Xiaofan understood the purpose of Feng Lv's photos for her.

    The content of the pictures taken in the last few photos is the purpose of Bei Xiaofan's coming to find Feng Lv.

    Above is a high-definition close-up of the black gift box.

    The first photo was taken of the external details of the gift box. Bei Xiaofan looked at it carefully, whether it was the whole of the gift box or the texture of the ribbon tied on it.

    From the photos, except for the different size of the box, everything else is exactly the same as the gift box Yu Zhaozhao once received.

    Bei Xiaofan continued to scroll down.

    When Bei Xiaofan saw the contents of the second photo, her pupils dilated rapidly and then contracted suddenly, Bei Xiaofan felt as if her throat was being choked by a pair of invisible hands.

    The picture above this photo is the contents inside the box.

    It contained one, a finch.

    A motionless red bird with its neck broken and its small head hanging down on its chest.

    The photo is actually not scary, because although the bird's neck was strangled, there was almost no blood left.

    There are only a few dark brown spots on the inside of the gift box.

    But it was just such a photo that made Bei Xiaofan's hand holding the photo slightly unsteady. For a few seconds, she felt that she was about to be unable to breathe.

    Her head was in a mess, and she looked up at Feng Lv in astonishment and panic: "Why did this gift box appear at the scene? Yes, was it put there by the murderer? Team Feng, do you think, do you think he is going to give... Zhao ZhaoIs it..."

    It's hard for Bei Xiaofan not to think so.

    The first gift box was deliberately placed in front of Yu Zhaozhao's flower shop in a very tortuous way.

    And the appearance of this first gift box is only known to their special police team, it is impossible to spread it.

    There was no gift box at the first scene.

    So the second gift box suddenly appeared on the scene, there is a great possibility that the murderer was trying to express something to Zhao Zhao.

    What did the murderer want to express?

    Are Yu Zhaozhao, and these victims, a bird with a broken neck in his hands?

    The resentment in Bei Xiaofan's chest was hard to suppress.

    Why, those are real people, beautiful girls who can laugh and make trouble, their wonderful life has just begun, why...!

    Why should he be compared to a plaything in his hand by such a scum?!

    "If you can't calm down, get out and don't destroy my documents."

    Feng Lv's calm and indifferent tone forced Bei Xiaofan to suppress the resentment in Bei Xiaofan's heart. Only then did she realize that she had crumpled the photo.

    "...I'm sorry, the team is closed."

    Bei Xiaofan bit her lip. She put the photo on the table and smoothed out the wrinkles on the photo vigorously, as if she wanted to brush off those brown spots.

    But what has happened cannot be changed.

    Bei Xiaofan took a deep breath, she knew that the best way now was to find more clues and catch the murderer as quickly as possible.

    Bei Xiaofan continued to scroll down until he found the last photo.

    This last photo is a note.

    To Bei Xiaofan's surprise, there were two lines of cursive English written on the note.

    Bei Xiaofan's English is actually not too bad, but she didn't understand these two lines of characters after a while...

    Bei Xiaofan looked at Feng Lv with a blank and guilty conscience. Feng Lv raised his head, met her eyes, and frowned: "I remember that the police academy requires cultural courses?"

    "I..." Bei Xiaofan's mouth moved, but he didn't know how to explain it, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

    But before she could speak, Feng Lv had already read it out.

    "I mourn for my love, I'll be chief mourner."

    His voice is deep, and the emphasis in speaking English has a pleasant rhythm.

    After Bei Xiaofan heard Feng Lv's reading, she finally understood: "I want... to mourn my beloved, and I will be the officiant? What does this mean?"

    "The death of the robin, the specific meaning is to go back and read the literature."

    Feng Lv was too lazy to give Bei Xiaofan a literature class here, he clicked on the desktop, raised his chin slightly: "Apart from this sentence, what else can you see?"

    see what?

    Bei Xiaofan thought for a moment, then hesitantly replied: "The murderer's English is good?"

    Feng Lv nodded lightly: "The original analysis of the image of the murderer was that an adult male was thin and had deficiencies in sexual function, so he used sexual abuse methods against female victims, but there was no further violation."

    "But the note also tells us that he was well-educated, but now he's struggling."

    "Why?" Bei Xiaofan asked in a daze.

    "The paper and ink he used have been tested. They are all materials that were popular 20 years ago, and they have been discontinued now. Will a person from a good family know how to use a notebook for 20 years?"

    "Same." Feng Lv took out a map, which was the map of the city, with three red circles circled on it.

    Bei Xiaofan stared at the map for a while, and found that the area circled in red was where the three incidents occurred so far, including the attack on Yu Zhaozhao.

    By drawing circles on the map like this, Bei Xiaofan discovered what he hadn't discovered before: "It's so close..."

    Although these three locations spanned three different jurisdictions, they were all within 10 kilometers from the map plane.

    "These three locations are all remote, and there will be no pedestrians on weekdays, and the murderer is well aware that the monitoring equipment has long been damaged."

    "It is very possible that his residence or work is in this area. At the same time, his work makes it possible for him to work in the early morning and move corpses without being suspected."

    "There is also a flower and bird market. This bird doesn't look like a wild bird."

    "Investigate in these directions, and there should be results soon."

    Bei Xiaofan was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Lv to draw so many clues from the third case today.

    But she was still thinking about it carefully, Feng Lv had already issued the order to evict the guest.

    Feng Lv said coldly: "Close the door when you go out, and—"

    "I have already reported the matter of the gift box. The reason why I didn't show it in the conference room is that I don't want too many people to know about it. The less people know about Yu Zhaozhao's existence, the better."

    "You should understand what I mean?"

    Harmful!

    Bei Xiaofan was still thinking about why Feng Lv suddenly said so much to her, which made her feel a little flustered.

    Co-authoring is all for someone!

    "Yeah, team closure, I understand! I understand!"

    Bei Xiaofan felt that she seemed to have discovered some information. She thought about Feng Lv's pretended indifference, but actually...

    The more he thought about it, the more Bei Xiaofan couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth twitched and he made some strange noises.

    "..."

    Feng Lv really wanted to slap her.
