Chapter 303 Why did I enter the murderer's field of vision?
Although Guan Xia has a good relationship with Pang Le, this is the first time she lives in her house.
Based on Guan Xia's understanding of Pang Le, she originally thought that the decoration style would be very exquisite and warm, but who knew it would be so ordinary, even a bit minimalist.
"This is a bit unlike you." Guan Xia commented and began to stroll slowly in the living room with a hiking stick. Because there were not many pieces of furniture, and they were all either black or white, the living room seemed a bit empty.
Pang Le placed the suitcase against the wall, sat down on the sofa and rubbed his ankle. "This is called a sense of contrast. The most important thing is that it makes it easier for me to fool Pang Qi."
Guan Xia understood immediately and moved to sit next to Pang Le. "He's here to check on me again?"
Pang Le snorted, "He's so annoying. If I don't do this, he'll nag me again. I've been busy chasing men lately and don't have time to fight with him."
Guan Xia thought of Pang Qi, who was young, but always looked bitter and resentful every time she saw him, and she wanted to laugh. He was obviously a younger brother, but he always worried about Pang Le like an older brother.
With Pang Le's muttering as background noise, Guan Xia began packing her suitcase for the second time that day.
Guan Xia didn't plan to stay there permanently, so she didn't bring much with her and was able to arrange everything quickly.
While she was busy, Pang Le followed her like a tail, moving from the living room to the bedroom, and then from the bedroom to the bathroom.
"Oh, I forgot to ask you about the murder in your neighborhood." Pang Le moved his toiletries to make room for Guan Xia and asked curiously, "You live downstairs from the crime scene. How is it? Are you scared?"
Guan Xia rolled her eyes at Pang Le and said, "If you're not afraid, why would I be here?"
Pang Le stroked Guan Xia's hair soothingly and quickly changed the subject before Guan Xia lost her temper. "I heard that the murders were an adult and a child. Many murders are committed by people who sleep with them. Have you met the deceased's husband? What kind of person is he?"
Guan Xia shook her head, put her things away and walked back to the living room. She simply took out her phone and flipped through the chat history to show Pang Le, "Someone in the community has encountered this, but I haven't seen him, but..."
Guan Xia paused and thought of the maintenance worker.
Pang Le looked at it and asked, "But what?"
Guan Xia, "But the murderer shouldn't be him."
Pang Le realized something and looked at Guan Xia with wide eyes, "What do you mean? Did you run into the murderer?"
Guan Xia was silent for two seconds, then nodded. "Although I'm not entirely sure, I did run into someone in the hallway on my way home last night. The most important thing is, there was a stain on his cuff that looked like blood."
She said she wasn't sure, but since the system had identified him as a suspicious person, Guan Xia felt that he was most likely the one, which was why she ran so fast.
After silently praying in her heart that the police could arrest the man successfully, Guan Xia suddenly felt herself being hugged.
Pang Le hugged Guan Xia very tightly, and patted her back gently with his hand, saying as if to coax a child, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You know I'm a good fighter. I'll protect you."
Although she was a little uncomfortable with Pang Le's sudden hug, Guan Xia felt warm inside when she heard her words of protection. She couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes, Miss Pang is the best. No matter what monsters they are, they will only get beaten when they face Miss Pang."
Pang Le pinched Guan Xia's face again before letting her go. He winked playfully at her right eye and said, "So for your own safety, you have to stay close to me 24 hours a day. How about taking a bath together tonight?"
Guan Xia's face suddenly turned dark, and he angrily slapped Pang Le's face and pushed him away.
Guan Xia had originally agreed with Pang Le that she would stay at home today and order takeout for dinner, but Pang Le received a phone call, went back to the bedroom, changed her skirt, put on some makeup, and then looked at Guan Xia excitedly and said, "How about I take you to my gym?"
Guan Xia lazily slumped on the sofa and refused without a second thought: "I can't go because my legs hurt. You go by yourself."
Pang Le bent down and put his face in front of Guan Xia, and said slowly, "Aren't you curious about the new man I'm attracted to? He's a handsome guy, an abstinent handsome guy, maybe he can give you some inspiration for your new comic."
Guan Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, "I'll go."
After eating something at the entrance of the community, Pang Le drove her eye-catching red sports car and took Guan Xia to the large shopping mall where the gym was located.
As soon as I entered the gym, the girl at the front desk came over and said in a low voice, "Sister Lele, Shi Lu has finished warming up and is now in the equipment area."
Pang Le nodded and turned to look at Guan Xia. "I'm going to change my clothes. You can have fun by yourself. Don't leave the gym. If you want to do anything, call me and I'll go with you."
Guan Xia made a serious promise, and Pang Le whispered a few words to the girl at the front desk before walking in gracefully.
Guan Xia knew Pang Le's taste. Her collecting habit made the men she liked very handsome, and they were all different types of handsome. She had only met the last one twice. He was a bar singer with a gentle smile and cute dimples. Their relationship only lasted for half a year. She didn't know how long this one would last.
Guan Xia became more and more curious, so she simply walked slowly inside with her hiking stick and found a corner to observe quietly.
Today is Saturday and there are quite a few people in the gym, but Guan Xia still found her target at a glance.
Although she was mentally prepared, Guan Xia was still stunned for a moment. No wonder Pang Le took a fancy to her and patiently kept trying to get her for such a long time. He was indeed a very handsome man.
Unlike the last one, this time it's a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes who looks very righteous. To use a popular internet meme to describe him, he is righteous but evil. He seems to be the kind of person who can remain calm even with a beautiful woman in his arms, and may even ask if you need help.
In addition to his appearance, he is also very tall. His muscles are not obvious, but he has smooth lines. He is the typical person who looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed.
The most attractive thing is his expression. Normally, when exercising with equipment, one would have to grimace with all one's strength, but Shi Lu never lost control of his expression from beginning to end. He was so indifferent, as if the sore muscles had no effect on him at all.
After observing secretly for a while, Guan Xia couldn't help sighing. He was indeed quite abstinent. She just hoped that he could attract Pang Le for a while longer after falling for him. Although it was fun to look at handsome guys, it was also annoying to get to know a new person every once in a while. Many times, she had just remembered the name and appearance and got through the confusing period of being afraid of calling the wrong person, but she had to start all over again. If Pang Le hadn't been so good to her, she really wanted to reduce the points of this friend and throw her into the category of ordinary friends.
After taking a look at the figure disappearing at the door, Xu Nian put on gloves and shoe covers and continued to search for evidence carefully.
The on-site investigation was not concluded until sunset. Both bodies were taken away for autopsies. Xu Nian took off his gloves, rubbed his brow, and looked at Qi Bai who walked in quickly and asked, "What's the result?"
Qi Bai quickly replied, "There's no corresponding information in the household registration database for that sketch. Our initial assessment is that it's probably a disguise. We've obtained surveillance footage from all the cameras in the complex for the past six months, but a third of it has fallen into disrepair. Brother Jiang and the others are reviewing it. Xiaozhuang and I, along with several auxiliary police officers, have interviewed every resident in the unit and every business owner at the entrance to the complex. Aside from the sketch provided by 501, we don't have any other leads at the moment."
Xu Nian's brows furrowed even more. He turned around and looked at the bloodstains left by the deceased on the living room floor. He spoke in a low voice, "There are no clues left at the scene. The dagger on the deceased's chest had no fingerprints other than the deceased's. Medical Examiner He's preliminary autopsy confirmed that there was no external interference. It was the deceased himself who stabbed the dagger into the chest. Based on the deceased's posture at the time of death, it can be inferred that the murderer was sitting on the sofa, holding the second victim hostage."
Qi Bai followed Xu Nian's gaze and cast his eyes towards the sofa. "This is indeed the same modus operandi as the 612th and 119th cases, but why? Liu Jiahui, a single mother with a child, lived an ordinary life that wasn't too hard, but wasn't happy either. Her characteristics are completely different from those of the victims in the 612th and 119th cases. Why did she catch the killer's attention? What made him change his mind?"
Qi Bai fell into deep thought. Xu Nian turned and walked out the door, pulling out his phone. "Hey, Chief Ren, the on-site investigation is complete. It meets the criteria for a joint case. The murderer also left no traces at the scene. But I have a new direction now. I just need more people. You need to give me some more people."
