Wagner is a very serious person.

He looks difficult to get along with, but he is not easy to dislike.

Yi Jiadong carefully prepares the roasted duck for an entire afternoon, so that the duck is cooked to the right temperature, chewy, and chewy, and the duck meat can be cut into shreds.

The roasted duck is cooked with many ingredients such as leeks, cooking wine, rock sugar, and dried chili peppers. It is then scooped out with a colander and set aside. Then it is time to fry the crab.

Choose a large crab and steam it. Cut it in half from the center, dip the cut end in cornstarch, and fry the part coated with cornstarch in oil to make it crispy.

Then pour the crab into the duck soup and stir it twice to make it taste good. Then pour the soup on the duck placed on the plate, and then pick up the crab and place it around the plate.

A hot plate of duck and crab with fresh seafood is ready.

Yi Jiadong is attentive in every step. The food cooked with sincerity is served on the table. The rough guys all enjoy it, but Wagner eats it very carefully.

Pick up half a crab and eat the cornstarch that seals the mouth first. The fried and dipped cornstarch pastry is covered with the aroma of meat and spices from the duck soup, and the oil and freshness of the crab roe inside. It is a great enjoyment if you savor it carefully. If you swallow it whole, you will waste the many layers and the wonderful taste of this dish.

Wagner will open half of the crab shell only after eating the cornstarch pastry. He will use the tip of the chopsticks, fingers and tongue to eat every strand of white and tender crab meat, golden crab oil and orange crab roe.

He is not done after that. He will also carefully break out the whole meat strips from the crab legs and dip them in the duck soup, which is another taste.

After eating this half crab, he cleans his mouth with raw radish shreds and then eats the duck. Before picking up the duck meat, he must make sure it is fully coated with the fragrant and thick soup.

When eating crab roe and rice, he is the one who spends the longest time stirring, as if he must be satisfied only when every grain of rice is coated with crab roe. He will chew and taste it carefully when eating. At this moment, he is not distracted and is just a pure eater.

This is a person who knows how to eat.

Yi Jiadong feels moved when watching Wagner eat. This is a happy moment for a chef.

It is so wonderful to see diners take this dish seriously, just as the chef cooks it seriously.

Jiayi ate a lot early, stuffing her stomach with crab meat, crab roe, rice and vegetables. Although the duck smelled delicious, she inexplicably didn't want to eat it.

After putting down her chopsticks, she asked the others to continue eating while she accompanied her brother to the kitchen to help out.

"Can you handle the busy days?" Jiayi asked concernedly.

Without Tofu Zai's help, it must be even harder for her brother to cope with the current surge in diners.

"Fortunately, I made a plan and prepared everything that could be prepared in advance before the meal. I tried to ask the guests to order some easy-to-cook food. Regular customers are easy to talk to, and they are often not so sure about what they want to eat. Haha, I just describe the dishes I want them to order, and they will drool and agree to my suggestions." Yi Jiadong said as he threw the leftovers into the trash can. He turned around and saw the small courtyard behind the kitchen in the shade, and said:

"Now that the weather is cool, I plan to tidy up the small courtyard. Some ingredients can be placed in the shade of the courtyard. This will save a lot of space in the refrigerator and save electricity."

"Okay, I'll be on vacation in a few days, so I'll help you clean up the backyard." Jiayi also looked at the small courtyard at the back. It was full of clutter, and it really needed to be cleaned up.

"That's not necessary. Qin Xiaolei came to eat the day before yesterday, and we talked about this. He said he would come to help me on his weekends, earn some pocket money, and earn a meal." Yi Jiadong looked at her thin arms and legs. Even if she has muscles now, it's still no match for the Hercules Qin Xiaolei.

"Haha, great." Jiayi nodded. It was so reassuring to have Qin Xiaolei to help.

After accompanying her eldest brother for a while, Wagner settled the bill with Jiajun in front, and then he looked out and called Jiayi who was washing dishes in the back kitchen. After

taking off her rubber gloves, Jiayi said goodbye to her eldest brother and left Yi Ji with the detectives from Team B.

It was already completely dark, and the car was carrying everyone. They worked day and night but they were not going home, but continuing to work overtime.

...

After returning to the police station, everyone was thankful that they ordered a cup of iced coffee when leaving Yi Ji.

The fatigue brought by a whole day's running around came at this moment when the stomach was warm after dinner. Without coffee to refresh, everyone would be a waste paralyzed in the office chair.

After guzzling coffee, the abnormal excitement came up and the brain became clear again. The detectives gathered in front of the whiteboard and continued to brainstorm.

Jiayi supplemented and extended the content discussed in the afternoon meeting with everyone, and quietly planned to go to the forensic officer Xu Sir to take another look at the body after the meeting to find important information that might be missed in the flow image.

The location of the nest is still the most concerned issue for everyone now. Jiayi led everyone to circle on the map - the location of the vegetable market, the location of the pork stall, the location of Huang Xiangjie's rented subdivided flat, and the location of Xianji Ice House were marked on the map, and then connected, so that an irregular quadrilateral was planned.

"It can be basically judged that Huang Xiangjie's nest should be in this area." Jiayi put away the pen and looked around the circled map.

Since a person lives a regular life and basically only goes to these four places every day, if he has another secret address, it can only be on the route between these four points.

Otherwise, it is impossible for him to go there frequently without being discovered.

Tannen also stared at the map, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke:

"Judging from the degree to which the murderer attaches importance to his social image, he has a strong sense of self-preservation. Unless his emotions completely collapse, he will not do anything impulsive. When hunting, he will not leave his "territory" too far. He needs a sense of security and a familiar environment. This new residence should be very close to Xianji Ice House or his semi-basement subdivided flat."

Jiayi nodded and added:

"Neighbors said that they have never seen him take the Dingdang car to go elsewhere, and he only went to the pork stall and the vegetable market to buy vegetables and would not stay for long, so the nest should be closer to the subdivided flat or Xianji Ice House."

After pursing her lips and thinking for a dozen seconds, she continued:

"He has not returned to the subdivided flat in recent days, and the murder scene is Xian Ji Ice House. Colleagues from the Forensic Department have confirmed that the back kitchen of Xian Ji Ice House is the scene of the first murder. He cut up the meat in the back kitchen and took the other parts of the body to his lair to hide.

"If he wanted to take Wei Nianying to this lair, he would be easily discovered even in the middle of the night.

"This way, no one will know... His lair should be very, very close to Xian Ji Ice House.

"Liu Jiaming checked Huang Xiangjie's rental file and found that he did not rent any other place except the subdivided flat that was about to expire.

"Neighbors, sanitation workers, and garbage collectors have never seen him go to other suspicious residences."

Jiayi suddenly remembered watching Hong Kong ghost movies before, in which a mother and son who saw ghosts lived in a corner of an underground garage with dense water pipes. In a complex environment like Hong Kong, which is dazzling, luxurious and bright on one side and dark, dirty and secretive on the other, there are many secret places for homeless people to hide under the glamorous surface of the city.

So she turned to Liu Jiaming and said,

"Brother Jiaming, Brother Gary, go check the same building as Xian Ji Ice House to see if there are any vacant houses that many people know about?

"Or places where people can be hidden, such as certain corners of the underground garage."

"Yes, madam." Liu Jiaming pulled a chair, stood up and left the office.

"No problem, Eleventh Sister. "Gary grabbed his coat and followed Jiaming out the door.

Jiayi stared at the circled quadrilateral area on the whiteboard, frowned, and turned to ask Tannen:

"Expert T, if you were Huang Xiangjie, where would you choose as your important hiding place for corpses and hiding places?"

Tannen stood up, pinching his chin and letting his brain work.

Profiling! Profiling!

If I were Huang Xiangjie? Huang Xiangjie, who is so cautious and polarized, would make corpses into barbecued pork buns and serve them to diners' tables with peace of mind...

"What desires does he satisfy when he watches diners eat the victims?

"In order to satisfy such desires, where would he hide his important trophies and weaknesses?

"Somewhere that can be peeped at?

"In the back kitchen, or somewhere visible from the front hall..."

Jiayi turned her head to look at Uncle Jiu and Brother Sanfu again, and continued to ask:

"Uncle Jiu, Brother Sanfu!

"Huang Xiangjie is a person who does everything he can to cover up his crimes in order not to be caught by the police.

"Even if the body parts were placed in plain sight, the police still couldn't accuse him after careful consideration. It can be seen that he has considered many things over and over again. Moreover, the body parts will be truly destroyed only when they are eaten by the guests. If we find out later, all the meat will be eaten up, and the nest is hidden enough, will it be difficult to catch him?

"Huang Xiangjie is planning to cover up. In order to never let the police find him, how can he choose the safest nest? "

Uncle Jiu bit the small wooden stick to quit smoking, thinking deeply without moving.

"We must find a place where even if the police find us, they can't contact him."

I hope Jiaming and Gary can find Huang Xiangjie's lair.

"The smell of the garbage dump can cover up the smell of the rotting corpse..." Sanfu pulled out a detailed map from his hand, pointed at the map with his fingers, and searched one area after another from left to right and from top to bottom.

But after looking for a while, he still didn't find any garbage dumps or waste stations that would not be thoroughly cleaned up in the circled areas.

Jiayi looked at Xu Shaowei again:

"What if it was you? After doing such a bad thing, what would you do to cover up your traces? How to hide the body? How to hide the trophies? "

Xu Shaowei, who was sitting at the back seat, raised his head, his eyes passed through the entire office, and faced Jiayi who was sitting diagonally.

Looking at her coldly, after a long silence, he softly said:

"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

"Hidden under the nose, although it is dangerous, the police may also be blind under the light."

After saying this, he closed his mouth, straightened his lips, and breathed very lightly.

He saw 'interest' in Jiayi's eyes. Perhaps what he said would be of some help to her...

The pair of lips that had clearly been prepared not to move again opened and closed again:

"Moreover, this nest can be monitored at all times. When you are tired from work, you can see it, or feel that it is very close. Is it like... he did not put the spoils somewhere, but carried them with him."

Jiayi tilted her head and fell into deep thought. After a few breaths, she murmured softly:

"It can cover up some strange smells..." Jiayi withdrew her gaze from Brother Sanfu, bit her fingers and stared at the whiteboard.

She then chewed over Uncle Jiu's words: "It's not a place that belongs to him. Even if it is discovered, he can prove that it has nothing to do with him..."

Rubbing her brows, Jiayi drew a line on the map with the back of the marker in her hand:

"A place that can be seen from the front hall or back kitchen of Xian Ji Ice House..."

Because of her concentration and highly tense nerves, Jiayi pinched her waist unconsciously with her left hand, and she didn't realize that she was pinching too hard. Still mumbling:

"It's dark under the light... like a trophy I carry with me..."

Some inspiration suddenly flashed, and the female inspector who was wandering in pursuit of the light was still pinching herself, still unconsciously mumbling:

"Be careful, don't be seen, get closer... closer!"

"A place with other smells, the nearest place with other smells... the nearest!"

"It can be seen... It's dark under the light..."

Jiayi's breathing became increasingly rapid, and her slightly trembling pupils suddenly stopped, and she suddenly remembered what her eldest brother chatted with her at dinner.

He wanted to use the dark backyard as a storage space... storage... dark... no need to put it in the refrigerator to have a certain preservation effect... lower temperature...

A word suddenly emerged in his mind: [cellar]!

What if the "things" are not only stored in the yard, but also stored under the yard?

It meets all the requirements everyone said!

However, the colleagues in the forensic department carefully inspected the front and back yards and found no basement.

All the floors of the house are solid. After analyzing the house structure diagram, no wall layers that could hide people or things were found. Da Guangming also squatted on the ground in the yard and knocked and collected soil and some suspicious substances...

The image of the small yard emerged in my mind: a row of stone paths in the middle, some easy-to-grow vegetables planted on the left and right, and many large and empty jars for pickled vegetables. Da Guangming checked the contents inside and confirmed that they were all pickled vegetables that were always available in the ice house...

When Sanfu and Xu Shaowei were chasing the murderer, Shaowei knocked over a large jar, and the pickled vegetables inside spilled all over the ground, making the whole place smell sour...

Wait!

Jar... Jar...

I figured it out!

Jiayi took a deep breath, turned around and said loudly:

"Let's go to the yard of Xianji Ice House and conduct another careful investigation!

" "If we haven't found it yet, we will dispatch the police dog team overnight!"

No matter what, within the 48 hours of legal detention, she must do her best to catch Huang Xiangjie's little braid!

Absolutely! She must not let him leave the police station.

"Let's go! "Jia Yi turned around and pulled the windbreaker off the hanger, put it on and strode out of the office. She even held the marker in her hand and didn't have time to put it down.

Behind her, the heroic detectives followed one after another, majestic and awe-inspiring like the brave bodyguards following behind the big sister.

Wagner also did not hesitate, and as he strode after her, he turned the car key on his finger.

This time, he was very clear about his identity.
