Demon detective

Chapter 77 Breakthrough
fifth day.

midnight.

Xu house.

Light snow fell outside the window again, making the night in the deep winter a bit brighter and no longer lonely.

At this moment, Xu Zhen was standing in front of a huge map, thinking about something seriously.

He specially asked his second cousin Zhang to inquire about this map, combined with the existing map data of the yamen, and added his various case needs to draw it.

Naturally, Yanping County was drawn on the map, among which many places had been marked by Xu Zhen and circled.

Different bets use different colors.

Among them, the most conspicuous red, a total of twelve places are circled, which are the places where the victims of the Ghost Face Killer case disappeared and the last place where the corpses were dumped.

Yanping County is indeed not very big. These twelve red dots almost cover the entire county area, and there seems to be no pattern.

However, after repeated scrutiny by Xu Zhen, he still found some problems.

The straight-line distance between the kidnapping point and the throwing point of each crime committed by the murderer does not seem to be long, generally not more than one mile, that is, 500 meters.

From this, Xu Zhen suspected that the murderer most likely did not use transportation and should have committed the crime on foot.

In this case, there are three important locations where the murderer commits the crime, one is the kidnapping location, the other is the killing location, and the other is the location of throwing the body.

Undoubtedly, the killing location in the middle is the most important. As long as the killing location is found out, it is possible to obtain the identity of the murderer.

Combined with map calculations, Xu Zhen believes that the murder location is not too far away, and should be within the range of a circle with a diameter of 500 meters.

However, after he drew all the areas, he discovered again that the area was still too large to cover the entire county.

Oh……

Xu Zhen finally understood that the murderer should have killed more than one place. He committed six murders and changed at least four places!
You must know that the ghost-faced killer's methods of committing crimes are extremely cruel, defile the dead, and even destroy his appearance. There will inevitably be a lot of blood and traces at the murder scene.

Had it been in a random public place, the police should have discovered it long ago when they searched.

Therefore, Xu Zhen suspects that the place where the murderer killed may be his own private house.

Oh……

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, as if he had found the key point of the case.

The real ghost-faced killer is probably a rich man!He has many private residences in Yanping County, so he can choose the right place to kill each time without being known to outsiders.

Therefore, after each crime, he has sufficient time to clean up the murder scene.

Young, martial arts, rich, a mansion, and extreme personality, may have been hurt by women...

Based on these several conditions, it seems that... who is the real ghost-faced killer, will be able to surface soon, right?

"Hey? What does this mean? Why is there Ziyang Palace?"

Unexpectedly, when Xu Zhen was very excited, a question next to his ear suddenly flashed him back, and he was so frightened that he almost took out his dagger.

Turning her head to look, she realized that it was Huniu Shen Yu who entered the study at some point and stood behind her.

I……

Xu Zhen's forehead was immediately covered with black lines.

For the first four days, he stayed in the Yamen to deal with the case and never went home overnight.

The reason is that the little daughter-in-law went to her cousin's house in a dream, and if she went home to spend the night by herself, then Shen Yu, who was the bodyguard, would definitely be with her.

However, without the youngest daughter-in-law, the two of them were truly alone.

At Shen Yu's age, and at his own age, he was afraid that lonely men and widows would turn into firewood, so in order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Zhen stayed in the Yamen.

But today is different. After the second cousin's map is drawn, Xu Zhen can't reveal it in front of others. He has to go home and study it by himself.

The things marked on this map not only include the facts of the case, but also Xu Zhen's own thoughts, which must not be seen by outsiders.

I don't know if I was too involved, or Shen Yu's lightness kung fu is too good, in short, Xu Zhen didn't hear any movement, and was taken aback by Shen Yu.

"What do you mean by enclosing Ziyang Palace?" After Shen Yu came in, she was very curious about the map, "Could it be that the Taoists in Ziyang Palace also have problems?"

"You..." Xu Zhen frowned, "Xiaoyu, it's so late, you still not sleeping? You came to my place, did you..."

What Xu Zhen meant was that it is not appropriate for us to be alone in the same room in the middle of the night.

However, Shen Yu didn't care about anything and didn't care at all, and said naturally: "You still say, it's so late, you don't sleep, how can I sleep? My father asked me to protect you, I have to looking at you!"

Okay, Xu Zhen said in his heart, if you really want to look at me, just go to my bed and look at it!
"You..." Shen Yu stared at the map very strangely, "What are you drawing? Why is there Wansheng Casino? What do these small knives mean?"

"No, no..." Xu Zhen really had no choice but to use his three-inch tongue and turn on the nonsense mode, "Can't you see it? This map is from a long time ago, and the Ziyang Palace is circled because of the previous Wei Yulang's wife once went to Ziyang Palace to offer incense, so I have to ask the Taoist in the palace.

"Wansheng Casino was also circled because of the previous cases involved... As for those small knives, it was because they found the wrong one, so crossing it out doesn't count."

"Oh……"

Shen Yu was really easy to coax, and immediately believed it.

"Xiaoyu, I have to warn you," Xu Zhen hurriedly ordered, "This map is my unique skill, and I don't even know about Cheng Tutou, so don't tell it, it's between the two of us. little secret!"

"Yeah!" Shen Yu nodded vigorously, "Don't worry Senior Brother Xu, little secret, a little secret that only the two of us know!"

After nodding, she still didn't intend to leave. She seemed to feel that the map was very fresh, so she squatted in front of the map and looked at it seriously.

"Xiaoyu!" Xu Zhen naturally didn't want her to know too much, so he quickly yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, I have to go to bed, do you want to..."

In the latter words, Xu Zhen almost said: "Do you want to be together?"

Fortunately, he was quick-spoken and temporarily changed it to: "Do you want to go back to sleep in your room too?"

"I'm not sleepy, I'm refreshed!" Unexpectedly, Shen Yu's EQ was worrying, and she stared at the map and said, "Go to sleep first, brother, I'll watch it later! This thing you drew is really interesting, I don't know Knowing that our Yanping County is actually like this..."

Xu Zhen covered his face, thinking hard, suddenly remembered something, and asked casually: "Xiaoyu, did Mr. Shen's left foot get hurt? He seems to be walking a little crookedly?"

"Yes," Shen Yu also replied casually, "My father has no heel on his left foot. When he was young, he was learning martial arts with others, but he was shoveled off by the crescent shovel."

"Oh..." Xu Zhen thought about it again, and simply pulled the curtain to block the map and said, "Xiaoyu, don't look at it, the map has not been drawn yet! I will introduce it to you after the drawing is finished. how?"

"This..." Shen Yu pouted, as if she had sensed something, but seeing Xu Zhen's sleepy look, she still said with concern, "Okay, I haven't seen how you rest these days, so go quickly Go to sleep, senior brother, with me watching over you, you can rest assured and boldly sleep..."

……

Late at night, lying on the bed, Xu Zhen still felt a little awkward.

Because the room where Shen Yu slept was opposite her, with only the living room in between.

I don't know, what is this tiger girl thinking about?

Need to tell her a bedtime story yourself?

She said to guard herself, wouldn't she come in after guarding?
That hot little figure, that handsome little face, that sexy little freckles...

Of course, random thinking is nothing but random thinking, Xu Zhen still realized rationally that at the critical moment of the case, he couldn't let Shen Yu get too close to him.

Although the little girl is brave and kind-hearted, she is too casual in handling the facts. If she slips up on some occasion, it may affect her plan to solve the case!
The truth of the case is about to be revealed, and I must not make any mistakes...
