"When Gao Ruxue wanted to take the elevator, she happened to meet the man in the raincoat coming downstairs. This should just be a coincidence."

The police search brought a lot of pressure to the Raincoat Man. Chen Ge put himself in the murderer's shoes and thought that the murderer should want to leave Qixia Lake Community and prepare to escape from this place.

"We can't be sure yet, but we can't rule out the possibility of stalking and murder." Li Zheng looked at the surveillance camera in the elevator: "We also suspected that the murderer lived in the Qixia Lake community, because some of the surveillance cameras in the community were destroyed three days ago, and that was exactly when the first eye-gouging case occurred."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ge suspiciously. After the police had a lot of clues, they deduced that the murderer might live in Qixia Lake Community. However, Chen Ge was alone and without the help of a team. He not only determined that the murderer was in Qixia Lake Community, but also told the murderer which floor he lived on.

Frankly speaking, if Li Zheng was not very familiar with Chen Ge, he would even suspect that Chen Ge was also related to this case.

Entering the elevator, the property management staff provided Chen Ge and Li Zhen with the basic information of all residents on the 23rd floor.

The three words "Han Baoer" did not appear in the household owner's name. According to the recollections of the property staff, there did not seem to be any particularly beautiful women on the 23rd floor of Building No. 3.

"Chen Ge, could you be mistaken?"

The first thing the police did after arriving at Qixia Lake Community was to seal off Building No. 3. They had already checked most of the residents.

Chen Ge was not too confident in the prediction ability of the Pen Fairy, he was only 50% sure.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ge turned around and called the property staff to ask, "Is there a surveillance camera installed at the corner of the staircase on the 23rd floor?"

"The surveillance cameras above the 15th floor broke down a long time ago and we never had time to fix them. The main reason was that we hired someone to fix it before, but it broke down again for unknown reasons. After this happened several times, we stopped caring about it." The property staff spoke carefully. After all, this was their fault: "We have three shifts of security in our community, and nothing has ever happened before..."

"Just because there was no incident before doesn't mean there won't be any in the future." Chen Ge didn't argue with the staff: "Are you familiar with the residents on the 23rd floor of Building 3? Are there any people with abnormal behavior living on this floor?"

"Abnormal person?" The staff shook his head.

"Have you received any complaints from residents? For example, strange noises coming from a room in the middle of the night, or a pungent odor?" Chen Ge asked, and Li Zheng couldn't get a word in.

The staff member pondered for a while and looked at a door deep in the corridor: "We received a call from a resident, but it was not a complaint, but a request for help."

"Help?" Chen Ge and Li Zheng both stopped.

"There is a household on the 23rd floor where domestic violence often occurs. It is very violent, but we have never received a call for help from the person involved. It is always the neighbors who call us because they can't stand it anymore." The staff led Chen Ge and Li Zheng to the door of the household at the end of the corridor: "This is this household."

According to the household information provided by the property, the person living here is called Qiu Meng, a very famous fitness coach in a high-end club.

"The person you are looking for is probably not him. Qiu Meng is nearly 1.9 meters tall. I also watched the surveillance video of the raincoat murderer. He is only 1.7 meters tall at most. They are definitely not the same person."

"Open the door and go in and take a look first." At this time, Chen Ge would not miss any suspicious place.

The staff seemed to be a little afraid of Qiu Meng and knocked on the door reluctantly: "Is anyone there? We are from the property management."

The room was very quiet and no one responded.

Chen Ge touched Li Zheng's shoulder and said, "There might be something wrong with this house. Call your people over. If that doesn't work, use violence to open the door."

"You make it sound so simple. Without any evidence, we have no right to break in." Li Zheng thought for a moment and added, "At least we need to ask Captain Yan for his consent."

While the two were talking, footsteps were suddenly heard from the door. After a moment, the security door was opened, and a tall, handsome and muscular man stood at the door.

He was sleepy, yawning, and his eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if he had not had a good rest for several days.

"Are you okay?"

The property staff member forced a smile on his face and said a little embarrassedly: "A murderer seems to be hiding in our community. The police want to ask you some questions."

"Ask me?" The man felt a little puzzled. He slowly came to his senses. After seeing the police uniform on Li Zheng, his expression changed slightly: "I have been sleeping at home. I don't know anything."

"Can we go in and talk?" Chen Ge's five senses were very sharp. When he opened the door, he faintly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

Qiu Meng glanced at Chen Ge and was reluctant to let outsiders into his home.

"This is my ID. I hope you can cooperate with our work." After showing his ID, Li Zheng took out the intercom in front of Qiu Meng and asked the other members of the group to gather on the 23rd floor of Building No. 3.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Qiu Meng opened the security door: "Come in, the house is a bit messy."

The table in the living room was overturned, all kinds of things were scattered on the floor, the vase was broken, and several flowers that were obviously just bought fell to the ground. It seemed that they were stepped on hard by someone, and the petals were crushed.

"Domestic violence?" Chen Ge was the first to enter the living room. After seeing the scene inside the house, this word was the first thing that came to his mind.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask now." Qiu Meng's face was gloomy. He hated outsiders coming to his house. It made him feel like his secret was exposed.

"Where were you tonight between eight and twelve?"

"Playing on the computer at home."

“Who can prove it?”

"What do you need to prove? I'm not the murderer, you've got the wrong person!" Qiu Meng shouted loudly. He had a very bad temper and couldn't control his anger even when facing the police.

"I'll repeat it again, who can prove it?" Li Zheng seemed like a different person at this time. His height and body shape were not superior to Qiu Meng, but he gave people the feeling that if they really fought, he could subdue Qiu Meng in just a few moves.

"I got home at 7:30, had a meal, and then started playing games." Qiu Meng finally gave in. He turned on his computer and said, "I usually like to do live broadcasts and teach people how to exercise their muscles. Tonight I felt a little annoyed and didn't want to talk to anyone, so I went to play games alone."

After checking the live broadcast video, it was found that Qiu Meng was telling the truth. He was playing games between 8 and 12 o'clock.

"Why do you feel irritable tonight?" Li Zheng did not miss any suspicious points in Qiu Meng's words.

"I had a fight with my girlfriend."

"Did you hit her?" Li Zheng looked at the messy living room.

"yes."

"Why did you beat her? When did you beat her?"

“Do you have to say that?” Qiu Meng had a bad temper and seemed to be on the verge of exploding. “It was around 10 to 10:30. I was live streaming and the camera was on. If you don’t believe me, you can go and watch the video yourself.”

The time that Qiu Meng mentioned was exactly the time when the man in the raincoat was squatting outside Gao Ruxue's door, ready to attack her.

If what Qiu Meng said was true, then he and his girlfriend would be cleared of suspicion.

Li Zheng used Qiu Meng's computer to find the live video.

Qiu Meng was playing games until around ten o'clock in the evening, when his girlfriend's voice was heard on the screen. The two sides quarreled over a trivial matter. Then Qiu Meng left the camera. The vase in the house was broken and the table was overturned, and then insults and crying were heard.

"I know what I did was wrong, but sometimes I can't control myself." Qiu Meng's nonchalant attitude made everyone present a little angry.

"At any time, using violence against innocent people is a violation of human rights. You must understand that domestic violence that causes injuries can also be punished by prison." Li Zheng stood up and waved to the property staff next to him: "If you encounter such a situation again in the future, you must pay attention to it. Tolerating it will only encourage him to make bigger mistakes."

"clear."

Li Zheng stood up, looking a little worried: "Where is your girlfriend now? I want to see her injuries."

"In the bedroom, she locked the door and I can't get in." Qiu Meng leaned against the sofa with no intention of getting up.

"You should have a spare key to the bedroom door at home, right? Open the door."

"Are you policemen so idle? Aren't there still murderers out there who haven't been caught? I can handle my own family problems myself." Qiu Meng frowned, and blue veins appeared on his arms.

"Because I'm a policeman, I can't just ignore it." Li Zheng stared at Qiu Meng and pointed at the bedroom: "Open the door."

His attitude was firm. Qiu Meng knew he couldn't fool him, so he got up, found the key in the closet, and opened the bedroom door.

Unlike the messy living room, everything in the bedroom was neatly arranged. I don’t know if it had been cleaned by someone or if it had never been messed up in the first place.

The sound of a woman crying could be faintly heard in the house, very softly, as if she had been wronged but did not dare to cry too loudly.

"Domestic violence cannot be condoned. If you need help, you can look for the local Women's Federation, or call the police directly." Li Zheng looked at the woman lying with her back to him. He couldn't tell anything wrong from her back.

But his years of experience as a police officer made him feel that this matter was a little strange. He walked around to the other side of the bed and looked at the woman's face.

The criminal profiler in the bureau drew a picture of the murderer's appearance. The murderer in the eye-gouging case had several characteristics: he held a special killing weapon, was not very strong, had a beautiful appearance, and was friendly, which could easily make people let down their guard.

Li Zheng had already memorized all this, but just when he was about to see the woman's lowered face, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Li Zheng took out his cell phone and answered the call. He found that it was Captain Yan who called. Captain Yan told him that the murderer of the eye-gouging case had been found and asked him to bring people over immediately.

After receiving the order, Li Zheng quickly glanced at the ** woman. The woman's hair half covered her face, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like.

Out of absolute trust in Captain Yan, he gave the woman a few simple instructions and walked straight out of the bedroom.

"The murderer has been caught, Chen Ge, we'll be there right away!" Li Zheng took out his cell phone and walked outside, but was stopped by Chen Ge.

"Don't leave so quickly, this person seems to be lying."

When Li Zheng was about to see the woman's face, he received a call from Captain Yan, which seemed unusual to Chen Ge.

What puzzled him even more was that the city branch's criminal investigation team usually used walkie-talkies to communicate at the scene, so why did Captain Yan use his cell phone to call Li Zheng just this time?

"Look at this broken vase." Chen Ge pointed at the fragments on the ground. "If it accidentally hit the cabinet, the vase would have rolled down the edge of the cabinet and should have broken near the cabinet. But look at the center point of the fragments. This point is more than one meter away from the cabinet. In other words, this vase did not fall by itself, but was deliberately smashed by someone."

Li Zheng took a look and found that it was true.

"When you entered the bedroom just now, I took a look inside. The bedroom was clean, without even a single water stain on the floor. It was completely different from the living room. I'm curious why a man who lost his mind would go crazy in only one area of ​​the living room?"

Chen Ge looked around: "The kitchen and bathroom are very clean, only the living room is messy, and the mess is very restrained, so this is most likely a deliberate arrangement."

He pulled Li Zheng back a step. "Why would an innocent couple create the illusion of domestic violence on such a sensitive night? Are they trying to cover up something? And the alibi provided by the man just now. In the entire live video, there was only his figure, and his girlfriend never showed up. I strongly suspect that there is something wrong with the video."

After hearing what Chen Ge said, Li Zheng also felt that something was wrong. He asked the property staff to leave the room to inform the people behind, and then he and Chen Ge surrounded Qiu Meng on the left and right.

When Chen Ge said those words, Qiu Meng acted very aggrieved at first, but in the end he just kept silent.

"Don't resist unnecessarily, stand up!"

Facing Li Zheng and Chen Ge at the same time, Qiu Meng lowered his head. After a long time, he seemed to have made a decision: "I was actually responsible for the five eye-gouging cases. I will leave with you."

"Are you the murderer?" Li Zheng and Chen Ge looked at each other and understood what this man was thinking at the same time. He wanted to take the blame for his girlfriend.

"Stand up! Don't move!" Li Zheng took out the walkie-talkie and was about to report to Captain Yan when his cell phone suddenly rang again. When he opened it, it turned out to be Captain Yan's call.

"Hello? Captain Yan! I've found a suspect over here! Requesting support!" After Li Zheng finished speaking, Captain Yan only said three words on the other end of the phone.

"Look behind you."

Li Zheng instinctively turned his head to look. The woman in the bedroom had walked behind him at some point, and a group of skinny children were climbing onto Li Zheng's body.

What’s even more strange is that Li Zheng didn’t seem to see any of this. He stared at the woman’s dark eye sockets, as if he was hypnotized.

"I don't want to kill you, but you insist on seeking death."

The woman's voice sounded a little hoarse, and she seemed to be quite old, but if everyone saw her face, they would be shocked.

It is difficult to describe that kind of beauty, a mixture of morbidity and madness, like a rose blooming in a cemetery.

Drawing nourishment from death, it blooms with breathtaking beauty.
