Xie Jingchen called Xiao You and asked him about the confession of Wang, whom he arrested in the afternoon. Wang admitted that yesterday, April 17, around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, he came home from repairing a gas pipeline.

On the road, he met a beautiful woman, wearing a red suspender dress, high heels, and heavy makeup. He became interested in her, and when he saw no one around, he began to harbor evil intentions.

"He said he just had sex. When he left, the woman was still alive. She was crying and fussing, but she was living well. The building next to her was in ruins, and no one came nearby. No one cared about her when she cried.

, so the man surnamed Wang went home. I went to adjust the community surveillance. After the man surnamed Wang entered the corridor, the deceased walked out of the community gate alive. Oh, by the way, the deceased’s name was Zhen Ping, and both Wang and

Live in the community of Cuipingju.”

"So it's really not a simple rape and murder case? Has anyone gone to investigate?" Xie Jingchen was obviously in a bad mood, his brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed out.

"Brother Wang and the others have gone to see the deceased and have contacted the family of the deceased. The deceased is from a single-parent family. Her father has not been in contact for more than ten years. However, the deceased does not live with her mother. Her mother has agreed to perform an autopsy. Thank you, Brother, the day after tomorrow.

It's almost time to get detailed results at work.

"Okay, I understand. Where was the body of the deceased found?"

"On the riverside three or four kilometers away from Cuipingju, an old man saw it while fishing this morning. It seems to be not far from your new house. Let me take a look. It is close to Greenland Park and about four kilometers away from the community where you live.

It’s a thousand meters away. It’s been sealed off over there. Brother Wang and the others should be there if you go.”

Xie Jingchen gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone. Maybe it was intuition. He always felt that there must be some connection between the murder case and Bai Haitang, but he couldn't tell. He planned to go to the place where the crime occurred tomorrow to take a look.

At nine o'clock, An Ruqiao pressed the closing line of the express collection point to pick up the express delivery. The express delivery was three small items, two of which were new medical books and periodicals she bought. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, An Ruqiao

For example, Qiao is a doctor. She can be said to be a genius. She is 26 years old this year. She has graduated with a doctorate. She is a nominal professor at the local health school and the chief surgeon at the local tertiary hospital. She specializes in obstetrics and gynecology. She mainly works in obstetrics and occasionally works in the gynecology department.

.

The express delivery collection point is in Jingfuyuan opposite Jingjiayuan where she lives. It's across the road. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there and get the express delivery. Because there are so many people picking up the express delivery, sometimes the wait time is long and you have to wait.

Half an hour.

Today, she wore a red gauze skirt and high heels that she would never wear normally.

It was nine o'clock in the evening in early spring, it was already very dark, the street lights were dim, and the security guard at the gate of the community took a nap in the guard duty room.

An Ruqiao heard the footsteps of people behind her, as if they were getting closer to her. When he looked back, there was no one. He turned around and kept walking, and the footsteps came up again. She quickened her pace until she entered the elevator.

After relaxing, she swiped the elevator card and went upstairs. When she reached the seventh floor, An Ruqiao glanced at the door of Xie Jingchen's house, hesitated for a moment, and went home directly.

An Ruqiao started to unpack the express delivery. Both medical books were delivered the next day. Online shopping is still very convenient in this era. The other express delivery was very strange. There was no sender information, but there was a clear address and mobile phone number of An Ruqiao.

.The box is also in tatters and has been wrapped several times with yellow and black tape.

An Ruqiao opened the express delivery, and inside there was a letter and a small red plastic box. She picked up the letter and could smell the pungent fragrance of cheap perfume.

"Did you receive the flowers I gave you yesterday? I was afraid that you didn't receive them, so I sent you some more. I like you so much, you are so beautiful, and your sweater jacket smells so good."

Is he her admirer?

An Ruqiao opened the red box, which was filled with white double-petaled crabapples. However, she found something strange among the crabapple flowers. When she looked carefully, she saw that it was a cut nail.

Ouch, so disgusting.

An Ruqiao threw the red box and the letter into the trash can, and then went to wash her hands and disinfect them. She felt they were dirty.

In the evening, it’s time to wash up, read, and sleep. Speaking of which, An Ruqiao has a strange habit. She likes to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room and doesn’t like to sleep in the bedroom. In fact, the sound insulation in their community is quite good, and she has never

She couldn't hear the sound from next door. She was always woken up by the sound of Xie Jingchen moving in the past. It was because she slept in the living room and there was only one door that was soundproof. She had good hearing and was a light sleeper, so she was so noisy that she couldn't sleep in on weekends.

The next day, Sunday, Xie Jingchen went to the scene of the crime early in the morning. The "Brother Wang" in Xiao You's mouth, that is, Wang Jibing from the Second Criminal Investigation Team, was there to inspect the scene.

"What did you find?"

"Brother Chen." Wang Jibing greeted. "There were blood stains on a big stone by the river. I sent someone to send it for examination. It is most likely that it belongs to Zhen Ping. There were no other traces at the scene. I guess there were some small traces.

It was also washed away by the river, so it is difficult to make any new discoveries. The surveillance camera near the park found that Zhen Ping came by taxi and was still alive and well after getting off the car. There is no surveillance here, so it is probably the scene of the first crime. These two

It’s time to install a surveillance system by the river.”

Xie Jingchen was troubled by his numerous "possibilities" and "estimates". There was not a single definite clue.

He walked along the river bank. This area was cordoned off and guarded by armed policemen from their police station. There was an artificial pebble beach along the river, leaving no traces. The rising and receding waves of the river washed away any possible traces.

I did a clean job and found nothing.

He then asked Wang Jibing for the address of the deceased, which was more than 3,000 meters away from the scene of the crime. Xie Jingchen walked towards Cuipingju according to the navigation route, and followed his steps which were slightly faster than ordinary people.

It took 45 minutes to get to the gate of Cuipingju Community, and the bicycle journey was calculated to be about 20 minutes. After it was discovered that Zhen Ping was assaulted by Wang Baoshun that night, surveillance showed that it was the gate of the community at 9:04. According to forensic doctor Lu's inference, Zhen Ping

The time of death was between ten and twelve o'clock in the evening. Zhen Ping had just been assaulted. Why didn't she call the police? Is there anything important that made her go to the river even though she was physically and mentally unwell after being assaulted?

?

Zhen Ping's family lives in the fourth room on the fifth floor of the third building of Cuiping Ju. She lives alone. The house has been patrolled by the police. Xie Jingchen entered the house. It is a small apartment of 50 square meters with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Strangely,

All the curtains are thick blackout curtains, and they are all drawn, so no sunlight comes in from the outside.

Xie Jingchen couldn't judge any more things, so he could only try to look for clues. There were several piles of garbage pushed in the living room.

He picked up the letter paper and unfolded it. He found that the writing was still stained with water and oil and was slightly blurred, but he could still roughly read the writing.

"Why don't you wear the red dress I gave you? The red suspender belt you wore last time was so beautiful, and your figure is so good."

"Why don't you write me back?"

"Why haven't I seen you recently? Which man did you hang out with in the middle of the night?"

"I love you so much, how could you be with another man? You betrayed me all the time! How dare you betray me? Bitch! Bitch (Harmony)! I'm so good to you and you still betray me!"

Was it a murder of love? Or was Zhen Ping being harassed? Red skirt? Was it the one Zhen Ping was wearing on the day of her death?

"Old Wang, have you found the deceased's cell phone?" Xie Jingchen called Wang Jibing.

"No, only the body was found by the river. I asked the uncle who reported the crime and found nothing. Apart from the body, the mobile phone wallet was not found, so it cannot be ruled out that it was robbery and murder."

"I discovered something at Zhen Ping's house. Come and take a look."

After the phone call, Xie Jingchen continued to rummage and found some flattened red boxes, all made of low-quality plastic. They smelled like the sour smell of garbage, and there was also the pungent smell of some vague essence.
