For some people, it is not an end, but a means to an end.

Once again, Ren Yifei thought of the social remnants he had come into contact with.

Some of these serial killers seem to choose their victims at random, but behind them are logic that normal people can't understand at all.

Ghosts are the same people as them.

Kill young women and dress them up as dolls, but there is no specific abuse. It shows that it is not their sex hormones that attract the ghosts, and the ghosts have no hatred for themselves.

Artificial eyes?

Ren Yifei frowned, put down the water cup and stood up directly.

He came to the computer and began to look up all the details and information about serial killings, especially the victims.

The cold light of the screen fell on his expressionless face with a touch of coolness.

Sam at the other end had returned to the next door, closing the door and turning on the lights, and the cold light of fluorescent lamps filled the whole dilapidated room, with the gloom of a funeral parlour.

There is nothing in his room, but there is a computer on the desk in a broken corner. It has all the clues and suspicious details he wrote down.

Now he turns on his computer, enters "serial homicide in city x" and clicks to search.

There are all kinds of rumors on the Internet, and there are not many real clues.

In order to avoid copycat crimes, the police will not disclose most of the details on the Internet. If they want to know more truth, they will either hack into the official system or hack into the computers of people who know about it.

However, the official system belongs to the internal network system, and it takes some effort for the outside to come in and stroll around.

Looking at the closed door of the official system, Ren Yifei frowned and thought: he does not need to know very detailed information, there is really no need to put himself at risk.

Someone who is familiar with the case.

"Defense counsel." He thought of this man, the lawyer who had previously defended the arrested suspect, who must have known the details of these cases and had consulted the case materials to find out the progress of the case.

Crackling, rhythmic knocking sounded.

At the same time, in the same place, separated by a wall, two people hit the keyboard at the same time, and their faces were reflected on the screen at the same time.

The lawyer is a public figure and has his own website. Ren Yifei has found the other party's ip address and used the virus to temporarily gain control of the computer.

Sam reached into the official internal website and quickly found the details of the first victim, including the estimated time of death, the last appearance, the witness and time of discovery of the body, the first scene of death, and so on.

Liu Mou, 23, a receptionist of a company, lives alone. He now lives in Unit 3, xx apartment, xx Road. The time of death was around 1 o'clock on a certain day, and the last appearance was around 9 o 'clock. the body was found at 6 o'clock the next morning, with no signs of infringement, and the first scene of the crime was her own residence.

It is followed by autopsy reports and scene photos, as well as the extraction of physical evidence, and so on.

The documents they need began to be copied.

Both men are racing against the clock and try not to make any noise as much as possible. But Sam was quickly discovered, by which time he had looked through the records of the three victims.

Sam frowned and immediately decided to go out and sweep the trace.

Across the wall, Ren Yifei crossed his fingers and looked at the screen solemnly until he had copied the whole folder, returned it, and swept away the traces.

After a slight delay of two seconds, he opened the folder, opened a blank document on the other side, and began to record key and highly coincident information.

The victims all share similar characteristics: young women, living alone, living in a mediocre environment, old apartment buildings in the old city, no elevators and no surveillance around them.

This living environment provides a lot of convenience for the murderer.

They all died of some kind of neurotoxin injection, with ethyl / ether residues in their bodies, the time of death concentrated between 1: 00 and 4: 00, the bodies were dumped in garbage cans or by the side of the road, and they were found the next day, wearing beautiful dresses in their wardrobes. Makeup on your face.

As for the rest, the women's cell phones were gone and the locks were broken, but their valuables were not stolen.

"the death of the first victim is basically the same as that of the subsequent victims. the first case is a 'planned' murder, rather than a 'passion'. The killer had a careful understanding of the victim in advance, knew that she lived alone, and made a detailed and effective plan. "

Sam frowned and tapped on the keyboard with both hands, jotting down some of his thoughts.

It may not be professional enough, but it can corroborate the final result.

"the step-by-step point needs to be seen nearby many times and carefully observed in order to be sure. Information about living alone and young women can be learned from the clothes on the balcony, but if you want to know exactly when you are at home from work, you need to observe at least a few days. The murderer can go in and out many times without arousing suspicion among the residents, and his identity plays a role in camouflage and protection. "

Ren Yifei wrote his conclusion in a blank document.

The main suspects of the police are the perpetrators of emotional fraud against young women using the Internet, and occupations that are easy to find out in their jobs that do not attract the attention of others, such as street vendors, couriers, takeaways, workers dredging sewers, and so on.

The reason why the police can not find anyone is because the mobility of the apartment building is too strong, there are no surveillance and witnesses at the scene, and the scope of investigation is too wide. But unlike Ren Yifei and Sam, they condensed their suspicions into nine people.

Nine players, excluding the two dead full-time housewives, the rest are the mysterious ninth person (Ren Yifei), real estate agent (Sam), squatting at home (Saman follower), repeating students (student players), takeout players (takeout players), street thugs (flower shirts), and old people picking up trash (elderly players).

Ren Yifei turned on the computer, pulled up the map of the old city, and marked the address of the victim one by one.

Sam also pulled out the map, and he was checking the bus line near the apartment building.

The former opens his hand and presses his thumb on the address of the apartment building as the center of the circle. The distance between the thumb and the index finger is proportional to the half-hour journey of the battery car as the radius.

There is a center, a radius, a circle appears on the map and includes the addresses of all the victims.

Ren Yifei stared at the circle and smiled.

The latter ruled out the possibility that the killer could use the public transport system, and then ruled out the foot-stepping garbage truck of the old man, narrowing the tools to private cars, three-wheeled trucks and battery trucks.

It is inconvenient for private cars to enter the alley, and no one uses three-wheeled trucks, only battery cars.

In addition to the ninth mystery player, other players have this vehicle, and there are only two people who have time to commit the crime: takeout and gangsters.

Takeout workers have professional convenience and can get in touch with these victims without alerting others. Taking away the phone can be interpreted as not wanting to be found out about ordering food.

Gangsters wander out every day and are said to have a lot of girlfriends, so they don't rule out the crime of making friends on the Internet. Taking away their cell phones can be explained as being unwilling to be found chatting records.

Ren Yifei prefers the former, because a gangster with a lot of girlfriends should not have such extreme attachment to a blind person.

Moreover, since there are no signs of infringement, the possibility of a relationship between a man and a woman will not be very great, unless the gangster's girlfriends are fake and obstacle information.

Sam lacks some key information, and he has questions about both men, as well as the mysterious ninth man. The degree of suspicion of these three people from high to low should be: the ninth person, takeout clerk, flower shirt.

However, the ideas of the two are similar. Since the ghost is obsessed with Song Bozhi and is a serial killer, it is impossible for him to leave no trace in his room.

Ren Yifei wanted to see the takeout man's residence, but he was also worried that he was a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Sam is going to take a look at the gangster's room and use the method of elimination.

The gangster is dead. his apartment is locked down. in order to enter, he can only go to the caretaker to get the key, or pick the lock directly. However, there is a risk that the identity may be exposed and become the next target of the ghost.

Ren Yifei cleared the tracks, then turned off the computer, sat down on the sofa and picked up the cold water cup.

It is a risky move to go directly to the home of the takeout clerk. The patience of the other party is exhausted, and if he comes to the door. Ren Yifei shook his head and took a sip of cold water. The cold temperature of the water calmed him down a little.

Sam looked at the computer. There was his shadow in the computer.

When there is no whistleblower, the ghost begins to randomly pick him or her, and he may or may not be selected. But once he invades someone's room and is deemed to be "destroying neighborhood relations", he will be 100% targeted.

Sam needs to think about which is more in his interest.

Two people separated by a wall frowned and fell into a state of contemplation.

Tick-tock, time goes by slowly.

The cold light hit their faces, and they were two completely different people, but they looked alike at the moment.

Upstairs, the character identity is that the players squatting at home are pacing the room.

The killer died the next night, shortly after they met.

"how could it be such a coincidence? We just got connected in front of us, and the flowered shirts on the back died? " The young man was restless and sweaty.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought Sam did it.

The killer is an old player, how can he take the initiative to mess with npc? And shortly after they made an appointment to deal with Sam?

"does he already know what I want?"

The squatting player at home is frightened, and he remembers Sam's ferocious record and the top 100 ruthless people on the list of stars.

The squatting player at home picks up a prop. This was sent to him by one of Hong's masterminds before he came. It was a powerful prop that he could not even afford to buy.

If Sam dies here, he can still get a five-figure white shell and a small leader's position when he goes out.

In all these days when he came to the Desert Corner, he had never seen so much money, let alone enjoyed the taste of a superior man.

His face was squeezed into the shape of greed, and even if his life was in danger, he was ready to move at the thought of those things.

The horn of desolation has no morality, ethics and law, and the evil of human nature takes root in that land. There may be people like Sam who have a bottom line, but more people will lose their humanity and become beasts when they enter the world.

The days of squatting players at home are still shallow, but he has already felt the benefits of being rich and powerful. He yearns for money and power, and Hong promises to him these days.

"the heavenly net is rewarded, but it is not missed." The TV in his room is on, yesterday's news is being replayed, and there is a huge number of wanted notices in the lower right corner. I hope the general public will actively provide clues about a serial murderer, and so on.

The young man was upset at the moment, even more upset when he was watching TV. He was about to close the door when the door was knocked.

His heart trembled: the one outside would be.

However, outside the door is not the Sam he is afraid of, but a player.

"your breakfast takeout." The takeout man at the door smiled and carried the takeout box in his hand.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "is it you?" Are you really working hard to deliver takeout? "

"I can't help it. Work." The takeout man handed over the things with a meaningful smile.

The squatting player at home picked up the takeout box, and the takeout man took a look inside: "alone?" Why aren't you with your boss? "

"what boss?!" The squatting player at home seemed to have his eyebrows burned, and he jumped angrily.

"anyone with a discerning eye can see that," the takeout man smiled. "which district are you from? I am in the East Star region. "

"you, too?" The squatting players at home look at the takeout clerk a little more kindly.

"it seems to me that there are some contradictions between you. You follow him, but he doesn't take you seriously. Also, when a master plays with a novice, he is always a little impatient. " The takeout man said with emotion on his face.

"I don't want to take it with me, and no one begged him, but he pretended to be a good man and bought people's hearts." Squatting at home to hear this is even more exciting, his expression is "exasperated into anger".

"well, I didn't mean that." The takeout clerk found out that he had said the wrong thing and waved his hand again and again, "forget it. I'll go first. I'll make more mistakes."

"wait a minute. Would you like to come in? Just think of it as a chat? "

Home squatting players unconsciously let down their guard, can know so much, at least he will not be a 'ghost'.

The takeout man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "good."
