This was destined to be a long night.

At 7pm, Yu Can called Jian Jing and said that she couldn't contact her daughter and was a little worried: "She booked a flight at around 4 o'clock, and should have arrived at 6 o'clock. I thought it was delayed, but I checked and it seems that she has arrived."

Jian Jing immediately said: "Don't worry, ask the airline if there is any record of her boarding the plane."

A moment later, the phone call came back and said no.

Jian Jing said calmly: "Don't panic, if it was a kidnapping, she is not in danger now. When was the last time you saw her?"

Yu Can murmured: "At 3 o'clock, I took her to the subway station..."

"Where are you, I'll come to find you."

She said she was at the home furnishing mall.

But when Jian Jing was halfway there, Yu Can called and said "It's okay."

"She seems to have gone to a classmate's house." Yu Can's voice was a little panicked, and he pretended to be calm, "I told me before, but I forgot. I'm sorry to make you worry."

Then he hung up the phone.

This excuse was too poor, and Jian Jing didn't believe it at all. But she also guessed why Yu Can did this. It was likely that he received some news and was afraid that something might happen to his daughter, so he decided to lie.

She was afraid that the phone was tapped, so she didn't call again and went straight to the home furnishing city.

Yu Can's store was still open, and the clerk said that the boss's wife had just left and was in a hurry and no one knew where she went.

Jian Jing tried to call using the landline in the store, but Yu Can's phone was turned off.

She had to find Ji Feng.

"You are not a policeman after all, so your words are not convincing." At 8:30, Ji Feng just got off the highway and reached the elevated bridge in Heping City. "I want to talk to her. Do you have her address?"

Jian Jing asked the clerk about Yu Can's residential area and told him.

At 10:20, Ji Feng arrived at the place and got Yu Can's address from the property management. At 10:30, he knocked on Yu Can's door.

She asked cautiously, "Who?"

"Police." Ji Feng showed his ID, "Let me talk to you about Zhao Bin and your daughter."

Yu Can opened the door.

Ji Feng explained the whole story and asked if anyone had contacted her.

She said "yes".

"What did I say to you?"

"If you don't want Xin'er to get into trouble, then stay out of other people's business." Yu Can showed a look of regret, "I really didn't know that what I said to Miss Jian was so serious..."

She smiled bitterly and begged, "Just pretend I didn't say it, officer, don't ask me anymore. Xin'er is my only relative..."

Ji Feng comforted her a few words and asked, "How did he contact you?"

Yu Can took out an A4 printed paper, "I went to get the takeaway for dinner, and who knew that this was in the bag."

"What's the takeaway phone number?" Ji Feng asked.

Yu Can found the order and told him the delivery man's number.

Ji Feng called him and asked him if he remembered delivering an order of stir-fried dishes to the Home Furnishing City. The delivery man said he remembered, and he asked if anyone had touched the takeaway. He said, "The home furnishing mall doesn't allow delivery, so we put it at the back door. Was your takeaway taken by the wrong person?" "

No problem." He hung up the phone, sighed silently, and reminded Yu Can, "The child is back, call this number to inform me, if the other party contacts you or makes any requests, it's best to contact us as soon as possible."

Yu Can hesitated for a long time before agreeing.

At 11:30, the police station received a call for help.

In the early morning, Ji Feng arrived at the scene.

The cremation site was a dilapidated building, but it had been renovated. Only the facilities such as the park, greening, and fire protection were not completed. Therefore, there were even residents living in the building.

In order to buy a house here, they were in debt and had to pay back the mortgage every month. But the developer went bankrupt, and the dream home was gone, with no water or electricity.

This was a huge blow, and the money was wasted, but the rent and bank loan were still needed. In desperation, many people simply moved in, at least they didn't have to pay rent.

If there was no water, they would get it from the next community, and if there was no electricity, they would use solar panels.

Currently, there are nearly ten families living in the community.

The bodies were found by a mother and son. The son was a delivery man, and he went out early and came back late every day. The mother was sick, so she lay at home to recuperate.

Before 11 o'clock last night, the delivery guy came back from work and found a building in the community on fire. The flames jumped in the dark hole, which was particularly infiltrating.

He was startled and drove his electric car over to confirm that it was really on fire. He quickly called 119.

The fire truck came over fully armed and he was relieved to see that there was nothing in the rough house and not much combustible. Who would have thought that when he entered, there was a body on the ground, which had been burned beyond recognition.

He quickly called 110 again

. Because it was discovered early, the degree of burnt of the body was limited. Of course, the skin was unrecognizable and looked horrible, but the inside was still intact.

The scene was dusty and several blurred footprints could be captured. There were no patterns. The murderer should have worn shoe covers. A rough calculation shows that the footprint size is between 40 and 41.

Trace examiners were unable to find fingerprints, and the hair left indoors was identified as either cat hair or hair from other rodents.

The murderer was very careful and tried not to leave any clues.

But he still made a mistake.

When the deceased was being transported, she might not have been dead yet and deliberately left her belongings behind. Or maybe the stray cats nearby were too naughty and secretly rummaged through the body, and the deceased's mobile phone was actually found in a cat's nest.

Two kittens were picking at the rhinestones on the phone case, and their sharp nails scratched out scratches, and the screen had long been unrecognizable.

But it was not broken after all.

A few hours later, Ji Feng received the autopsy report from the forensic department, which read as follows: The deceased was a young woman aged 18-22, who had not given birth, and her stomach contents were bread, vegetables, ham, and cassava.

Arsenic and sleeping pills were detected in her blood, the former should have come from bubble tea, and the latter should have been caused by the murderer.

According to the digestion situation, she died 2-3 hours after eating.

Then came the identity of the deceased.

The mobile phone has been confirmed to belong to Yu Can's daughter Cai Xin, and the remains of her clothes also matched what she was wearing when she disappeared, which was a camel-colored tweed coat, jeans, and brand-name sneakers.

In terms of physical characteristics, because Cai Xin was born to Yu Can's husband and ex-wife, the two had no blood relationship and DNA could not be verified, but she had medical insurance records and had just had a wisdom tooth removed a year ago. The film showed that there was still a large wisdom tooth on the left.

This is consistent with the characteristics of the corpse.

As a family member of the victim, Yu Can accepted the police's questioning.

She was in a trance and sat down for a long time before saying: "I don't understand... Did I harm Xin'er? The thing her father was most worried about before he died was her... This child has a miserable life. Her biological mother has high blood pressure. The doctor originally told her not to give birth, but she couldn't let go after she got pregnant. She died six months after giving birth.

"Her father is a good man, both a father and a mother. When he married me, he told me that he would not have children in the future because he was afraid that the stepmother would abuse the child. I'm not in good health, and the doctor said I can't have children in this lifetime, but I don't care. For so many years, I treated Xiaoxin as my own child... Later, her father died, and we depended on each other..."

As she spoke, tears fell one by one.

"I told her grandmother that Xiaoxin would be home tomorrow, and she was busy making her favorite dishes... How can I explain this to the old lady? Her grandmother is old, and if she knew that Xiaoxin was in trouble... Officers, please don't let it slip, otherwise I'll be really sorry, sorry to my husband..."

Yu Can burst into tears.

Lao Gao waited until she finished crying before asking the real question: "When was the last time you saw the child today?"

"A little after three in the afternoon, I took her to the subway station. "Yu Can regretted it again, "If I had known earlier, I should have sent her to the airport. The child is sensible and was afraid that I couldn't leave the store, so she asked me to send her to the subway station."

Lao Gao: "Do you know the child's schedule for today?"

Yu Can said: "She was at home in the morning. After lunch, she came to my store to get something and took it back to her grandmother. At about 2:40, I sent her out."

Lao Gao: "Has she been to your store today?"

Yu Can: "Yes." Lao

Gao: "Oh, did she eat anything?"

Yu Can: "Yes, I was afraid that she would miss dinner, so I ordered food in the afternoon for her to rest before leaving."

Lao Gao: "What did she eat?"

Yu Can: "Sandwich and milk tea. "

Lao Gao silently noted this.

After asking Yu Can, he asked Xiao Li to run errands and go to Yu Can's store to find the staff to verify the situation.

The staff confirmed that around 2 o'clock, the boss's daughter came and had afternoon tea together. At 2:40, Yu Can saw her off and returned at 3:25.

The ride from the Home Furnishing City to the subway station that goes directly to the airport is about 20 minutes.

From this, it can be inferred that the time of death is It was from four to six in the afternoon.

At around seven, Yu Can received a note from an unknown person, asking her to mind her own business.

The person was already dead, but they were still making a fuss... Did the murderer think that the body would not be discovered for a while, so he bought some time?

What's the use?

Twelve hours after the body was found, Jian Jing came to the crime scene.

The first thing she said when she saw Ji Feng was a decisive rebuttal: "This is not scientific. Yu Can's daughter knows nothing. Why didn't she come to kill me, but killed a little girl who has nothing to do with the case?"

Ji Feng had been running around outside for half a month. He didn't eat or sleep well. He was busy all night yesterday. His eyeballs were full of red bloodshot, which was scary to look at.

But he still patiently comforted Jian Jing: "It's not your fault. " Jian

Jing said sternly: "I didn't say that."

"I'm not trying to comfort you, you're right, it doesn't make sense to attack Cai Xin." Ji Feng said, "Killing Yu Can is understandable, but what's the point of killing her daughter? To intimidate? When the letter was sent, the person was already dead."

Jian Jing said: "Either Cai Xin knew something she shouldn't know, or it was just a provocation. "

Let's not talk about the former. Provoking... is actually not right. The

reason why she was able to provoke Wang Shi was because of his special feelings for her, and the two of them had an emotional game that was difficult to explain.

But the news posted on the Internet was very ordinary. When normal people saw it, those with less courage might remain silent, while those with greater courage would just kill her.

Why was it Cai Xin?

What was the significance of her death?

Jane stared quietly at the scene surrounded by the cordoned off wire. There were traces of burning on the ground, and the position of the female corpse was outlined by white lines. There was an inexplicable eerie atmosphere.

"Can we be sure now that the murderer is the same?" she asked.

Ji Feng nodded: "Some details are not convenient to keep in the data, but the way of burning the corpse is exactly the same. "

Even though it was the same cremation after death, different people had different ways of doing it, and the same was true for the placement and handling of the bodies. In these cases, the bodies were all well-dressed and laid flat on the ground. Oil was poured all over the bodies, but it was careful not to spill on the bodies, and there were no other combustible materials around.

The ignition device was unknown, but it was not a match or cigarette, and no trace was left.

These details have never been made public, and copycats cannot be so similar.

Jian Jing tilted her head and said, "Then, this case must be useful, just like many years ago, he suddenly killed Li Xiaonuan. It's just that we haven't found the motive yet... No, maybe the motive is..."

She raised her head and looked into his eyes: "Alibi?"
