Chapter 13
Seven days ago, at 11pm.
Li Sisi wore a pink long dress and a beige Chanel-style thin jacket.
She looked around and said impatiently to those around her: "Hey, are you there? If you are, come out, don't keep me waiting!"
No one around answered her.
About a minute later.
Someone is coming.
The man was dressed in black, with a loose-fitting jacket and pants, and a hat, revealing his waist-length curly hair.
She was wearing a pair of black Martin boots.
He was wearing a mask and black-framed glasses.
"Who are you?" Li Sisi took two steps back, took out her cell phone and prepared to call the police.
The man didn't say anything, but suddenly rushed towards Li Sisi and swung the fruit knife in his hand quickly.
Li Sisi didn't have time to react.
There was a bloody cut on the neck.
"Ah! Ah!" Li Sisi covered her neck and screamed, blood splattering out.
She turned and ran, but her steps were so unsteady that she fell to the ground after only two steps.
The killer calmly watched Li Sisi struggling on the ground.
His throat was cut, and he died too quickly.
Li Sisi opened her mouth and wanted to shout for help, but she couldn't, and blood was flowing out.
She wanted to touch her phone, but it was dark.
I don't even know where I dropped my phone.
Li Sisi's expression before her death was desperate and painful.
The murderer casually shook off the blood on the knife, put the knife into a plastic bag, and then stuffed it into his pocket.
Turn around and leave.
The direction of departure was exactly the direction where the supernatural power fluctuations were detected before.
The picture ends here.
The Corgi's special ability only allows it to see the area near the deceased, about ten meters away. It cannot see anything farther away.
"The murderer is so cunning. He was wrapped up like that, and you can't even see his face."
Xie Bei said regretfully.
"Go back and check the surveillance to see if this person has appeared." Jiang Youqi didn't say much and snapped his fingers at the Corgi.
The Corgi ran over with its fat butt twisted and rubbed against Jiang Youqi's trouser leg.
Jiang Youqi squatted down and picked up the corgi with one hand.
"Go home and give you some chicken legs."
The Corgi stuck out its big pink tongue and looked very happy.
＊
They have actually been monitored and checked many times.
If there was someone dressed all in black and acting so stealthy, the police would have noticed it long ago.
But no.
However, there was a surveillance blind spot at the crime scene.
Some of the surveillance cameras are still broken.
After returning, they asked their colleagues in the police station to help expand the scope of the surveillance.
Gu Tanxi, who had nothing to do, was also called to watch the surveillance video.
Xie Bei bought her bubble milk tea.
When he gave her milk tea, he raised his chin towards her handsomely and flicked his tongue: "Da!"
Gu Tanxi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Say thank you.
Xie Bei smiled and was not angry at all.
Gu Tanxi asked: "Did you make any progress today?"
Xie Bei: "There is one thing, let me show you."
Gu Tanxi leaned over to look at his tablet.
It's a projection of Corgi.
Gu Tanxi opened his eyes.
"Wow, there is such a skill?"
"Archimedes is very powerful. He has helped solve many cases. Look, this is the murderer, a woman with big wavy hair." Xie Bei pointed at the murderer.
Gu Tanxi took a closer look and said, "She's so wrapped up that I can't even recognize her. She even wore such loose clothes that I can't even tell her figure."
"Well, the only thing we can be sure of now is the height. Moreover, if the other party is wearing insoles for submissions, the height will not be accurate." Xie Bei nodded.
"Can we judge the height and weight from the shoe prints at the scene?" Gu Tanxi said. She had watched many crime dramas that were like this.
Xie Bei shrugged and said helplessly, "It's a pity that it was a thick lawn and there were no shoe prints at all."
"Is she smart and chose this place on purpose, or is she just lucky?" Gu Tanxi tilted his head.
Xie Bei: "I think it's the former. No one can be so lucky as to leave no shoe prints, no surveillance, and disappear without a trace. There are so many coincidences. This must be a premeditated murder."
"Then you must have scouted this place many times, right? Check the old surveillance footage to see who comes here frequently?" Gu Tanxi asked.
"The police have checked. This place is a blind spot for surveillance. Several of the surrounding surveillance cameras are broken. Because there is a street nearby that is a red-light district, people there are afraid of being photographed. The surveillance cameras were installed and then destroyed the next day."
"Is that so... If Zhou Yue didn't have an alibi, she would be even more suspicious. With this height, she definitely isn't Wu Fei." Gu Tanxi said.
"Yes, but Zhou Yue was in the library when the crime happened. There are surveillance cameras and witnesses."
Gu Tanxi drank milk tea with a serious look on his face.
Xie Bei came over and asked, "What did you think of?"
Gu Tanxi said seriously, "I want to eat pizza with cheese."
Xie Bei rolled his eyes at her and said, "I want to eat too, but Captain Jiang is here, so we can't slack off. Let's get back to work."
Gu Tanxi smiled, took out his cell phone and found Zhou Yue’s WeChat.
I sent a message to Zhou Yue: "Sister, let's have supper together at 10pm."
The dialog box showed for a long time that the other party was typing, but after more than ten minutes, they replied with two words: "Okay."
Gu Tanxi replied: "We'll meet at the entrance of the food street."
Zhou Yue: "Okay."
When the time was almost up, Gu Tanxi told Xie Bei that he had an appointment with Zhou Yue for a midnight snack and left first.
Gu Tanxi had just left.
Jiang Youqi walked in with the documents and said to everyone, "Fresh data shows that the police have re-detected the direction that Archimedes saw the murderer leave and found three incomplete shoe prints.
It can be proved that they were left by the same person. The direction of the shoe prints is consistent with the direction of the supernatural fluctuations found fifty meters away. Combined with the projection given by Archimedes, I speculate that the murderer may have the ability to teleport or travel through space.
The murderer did not use his superpowers when killing people, but used them when leaving, so there was a fluctuation of superpowers.
What do you think of this speculation? "
Xie Bei: "I think it makes sense. The manifestation of supernatural power has not been recorded in the system, which means it has never appeared. Now that there is a record of instant movement in the system, we can rule out instant movement."
Xu Shaolin: "Regarding the registration of spatial supernatural manifestations, currently there is only a spatial barrier. Could the other party also be teleporting?"
Xie Bei: "It's very possible. If they teleported from one place to another, even if there were surveillance cameras, it would be useless. The murderer could have teleported directly from home to the crime scene, and then from the crime scene to home... Thinking about it this way, both Wu Fei and Zhou Yue are suspects."
Xu Shaolin: "But they don't have special abilities."
Xie Bei: "Could it be that the murderer is very special, with supernatural powers that cannot be detected by machines?"
Xu Shaolin: "It's not impossible, but judging from the Archimedes projection, the murderer is around 1.75 meters tall. Wu Fei is 1.75 meters tall, and Zhou Yue is 1.66 meters tall. The murderer could be Wu Fei wearing a wig, or Zhou Yue wearing height-increasing insoles. But none of them showed any supernatural powers in their tests, which is very strange."
"Pull out the alibi evidence of Wu Fei and Zhou Yue at the time of the crime, and everyone take a careful look to see if there are any findings." Jiang Youqi glanced around the office.
"Why does it seem like someone is missing?"
Xie Bei screamed, "Oh no! Sister Gu has made an appointment with Zhou Yue for a midnight snack."
"The new girl?" Jiang Youqi asked, "Isn't she from the second team?"
Xie Bei: "There aren't enough people today, so I went over and borrowed one."
"Send her a message and remind her." Jiang Youqi said to Xie Bei.
"Okay." Xie Bei immediately sent a message to Gu Tanxi.
But I was also worried that Zhou Yue was right next to me.
Xie Bei sent a message first: Confidential mission, please reply to me when no one is around.
＊
"Zhou Yue." Gu Tanxi waved his hand.
When Zhou Yue saw her, he walked towards her with a smile.
"Sister, sorry for the wait."
Gu Tanxi said, "I just arrived too. What do you want to eat? How about we eat from the beginning to the end of the street?"
"Okay, I've tried all the snacks here, and I know which ones are delicious." Zhou Yue smiled and took Gu Tanxi to buy food from each store.
Such as grilled squid, sweet potato with plums, fried sesame balls, delicious chicken legs, crazy seafood, and octopus balls.
The two bought a lot of snacks of all kinds, and finally found a milk tea shop, each had a cup of milk tea, and sat in the shop to enjoy the delicious food.
Along the way, Gu Tanxi didn't see Zhou Yue's mimicry.
Could it be that the person I saw today was not Zhou Yue?
Zhou Yue was nervous at first and didn't know what Gu Tanxi wanted to say to her.
She is also very careful when eating.
But Gu Tanxi's topic was always food.
This one is delicious, this one is also good, this one is a little spicy, this one would taste better if it was a little sour.
And so on.
You can see that she is a real foodie.
After enjoying the meal, Zhou Yue also relaxed a lot.
"Sister, what is your special ability?"
Gu Tanxi stretched out his hand and showed her his palm.
A small vine grew out of the palm of my hand.
It's about the same size as the bamboo skewers they use to eat skewers.
"My skills are very weak, so I have no presence in the game."
Zhou Yue looked at the small vine seedling that could be broken with just one finger and believed that Gu Tanxi was very weak.
"Sister, is the treatment at the Supernatural Bureau good?"
"Okay, someone like me doesn't contribute much, but I can probably get 800,000 to 900,000 yuan a year, and I'll get a house if I work for five years. I must stay for five years." Gu Tanxi made a promise first, regardless of whether it was true or not.
"So good?" Zhou Yue was moved when she heard it.
"Yes, if you have special abilities, don't miss this opportunity. The Bureau of Special Abilities is very short of people. For someone like me, the director personally called to recruit me." Gu Tanxi began to brag.
Zhou Yue's eyes showed envy.
"That's great! I wish I had special powers too. Without them, I can only study hard and go abroad to gain experience. I hope to find a good job when I come back."
Zhou Yue shrugged regretfully.
Gu Tanxi comforted him, "You will definitely have a bright future. You are such a good student and you are the top student in your grade."
"Yeah, thanks to me for not being lazy. If I didn't have this good result, my life would have been terrible." Zhou Yue lowered her eyes.
Living in a family that favors boys over girls, she was really suffocating.
My parents are extremely partial to my younger brother. They listen to and believe everything he says.
Even though she talked her mouth off and had solid evidence to prove herself, her parents still didn't believe her. They kicked the evidence to pieces and insisted on siding with her brother.
She wanted to leave this home and never come back.
Going abroad is her chance to change her fate. If she has the opportunity to marry a foreign man, she can stay in a foreign country, and then her parents will not be able to find her even if they want to.
If you can't get married, it's okay to work outside.
Or after gaining experience, you can work far away from Anshi.
In short, she is leaving.
Gu Tanxi saw Xie Bei's text message and said to Zhou Yue as if nothing had happened: "Do you want some cake? I'm going to buy a small cake across the street. I suddenly feel a little craving for cream."
Zhou Yue said enviously: "Sister, you can eat a lot, but you are so thin and have a good figure. How do you do that?"
Gu Tanxi laughed and said, "I was born with the habit of not gaining weight."
"I'm so jealous. I won't eat the cream anymore. I can't eat it anymore."
Zhou Yue shook her head.
"Okay, I'll go buy a small one, you wait here for me."
"good."
Gu Tanxi left the milk tea shop and sent a message to Xie Bei: "What secret mission?"
Xie Bei: "Now I suspect that the murderer's ability is space teleportation or something like that. I also suspect that the murderer is special and the machine can't detect her ability, so you have to be careful of Zhou Yue."
Gu Tanxi: "I know, I haven't given up doubting her."
Xie Bei: "Where are you now?"
Gu Tanxi: "I'm eating at the food court next to the university town. Everything is normal at the moment."
Xie Bei: "Call me if you have anything."
Gu Tanxi: "Okay."
Gu Tanxi bought a small cake the size of a fist.
Zhou Yue didn't eat it, she ate it herself.
"The cakes here are delicious. Have you ever tried them?" Gu Tanxi asked.
Zhou Yue nodded: "I have. I like their pineapple buns. They are super delicious when they are freshly baked."
"I've eaten it once too. The custard buns are delicious. They were out of stock when I went there just now, otherwise I would have bought some to take home for breakfast tomorrow," said Gu Tanxi.
Zhou Yue said, "It's great to have my own house. I live in school and don't have the conditions to heat up pineapple buns. Whenever I want to eat them, I have to go out and buy them."
The dormitory has a strict ban on electrical appliances. My roommate’s air fryer has been confiscated twice.
"It will be fine in the future. You will have your own house, an oven, and all kinds of home appliances."
Speaking of the future, Zhou Yue laughed.
"Well, the future will be good."
Gu Tanxi changed the subject: "Will you and Wu Fei reconcile?"
Zhou Yue paused for more than ten seconds before answering: "No, I don't love him anymore."
Gu Tanxi asked again: "If he had not betrayed you, would he be in your future?"
Zhou Yue sneered softly: "There is no such thing as if. He has betrayed me countless times, and Li Sisi is just one of them..."
Zhou Yue realized that her emotions were not right and immediately controlled herself.
Gu Tanxi asked in surprise, "He has cheated on many people?"
Zhou Yue pursed her lips and said, "A lot. Not long after we got together, I discovered that he had a lot of women's WeChat accounts in his account, but he deleted all the chat records very cleanly. I just didn't believe it, so I asked him to delete all those women's accounts. He deleted them in front of me, but not long after, I found out that he had a second account."
Zhou Yue shrugged: "A man like this is not worthy of my love at all, don't you think, sister?"
"Yes, a man like this doesn't deserve to have a good girl as his wife. A playboy like him might get AIDS if he's not careful." Gu Tanxi mentioned casually.
Zhou Yue exerted force on the bamboo stick, and the stick broke into two pieces in her hand.
"This, this bamboo stick is of really poor quality."
Gu Tanxi smiled and said, "Of course, the boss must have bought the cheapest bamboo sticks in the world."
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tan Xi eating happily.
"Sister, do you have a boyfriend?"
Gu Tanxi shook her head: "I'm single. My dream is to be a single rich woman!"
Zhou Yue was amused by her and said, "This is a good dream. I want this dream too."
After having supper, Gu Tanxi and Zhou Yue walked back to school together.
After seeing Zhou Yue off to the school gate, Gu Tanxi turned around and left.
Gu Tanxi thought about Zhou Yue's reaction just now, and sent a message to Xie Bei: "Zhou Yue and I were chatting, and when I mentioned that philandering men like Wu Fei are more likely to get AIDS, she reacted a little too strongly."
Xie Bei: "Then I'll ask someone to go to the hospital to check. If they have AIDS, we have to be careful when we have contact with them in the future."
Gu Tanxi: "Okay, this is safer."
＊
It was ten ten that evening.
Wu Fei brought paper money to the place where Li Sisi was killed. After seeing that there was no one around, he quickly burned the paper money for her.
"Sisi, have a safe journey. Don't linger on the human world. All this money is for you. Please don't come looking for me. Don't..."
