Chapter 173 Identifying
Lu Xiangdong thought about Bi Xia's explanation of the meaning of the pentagram symbol on the deceased, and remained silent.

Cheng Feng sighed: "Now we can only wait for the news. Before the identity of the deceased is confirmed, there is not much that can be done."

He patted Bi Xia's arm: "Thank you for providing the meaning of this symbol, which is of great help to the whole case!"

Bi Xia smiled politely: "I didn't help much either."

"I will inevitably ask you for advice in the future!"

"Officer Cheng, you are being polite. With your ability, it will be very easy to solve this kind of case. I'm just a nerd on paper, and I can't help you." Facing Cheng Feng, Bi Xia seemed a little shy. After exchanging pleasantries with Cheng Feng, he turned to Lu Xiangdong, "Is there anything else Teacher Lu needs me to do? If not, I'll go home!"

Lu Xiangdong nodded to him, Bi Xia simply sorted out his belongings, said goodbye to the three people, and left the office alone.

"Xiangdong, the students you lead are talented!" Cheng Feng gave Lu Xiangdong a thumbs up: "Sure enough, a famous teacher produces a talented student!"

Lu Xiangdong didn't have any pride, and still had a dull face: "The talent is good, but as for being a human being, I can't understand it."

Jiayi just listened to their analysis so much, and gradually began to feel that what Lu Xiangdong and Cheng Feng said may not be all comforting himself, the fact that the murderer painted an inverted pentagram on the female corpse really made people feel that his main target was The victim herself, therefore, at this moment her mood is much more relaxed.

Jiayi glanced at Lu Xiangdong who had a cool expression on his face, shook his head, and said to Cheng Feng, "Since I met him, I don't think you are a man with facial paralysis anymore!"

Cheng Feng was amused by her words.Lu Xiangdong looked at Jiayi dissatisfied: "Can you take care of my emotions?"

"No, anyway, I can't see what emotions you have!"

"Cheng Feng, I've already begun to sympathize with you!" Lu Xiangdong sighed, picked up his coat, "I'm not here to be an eyesore, goodbye!" After saying that, he waved his hands smartly and left alone.

Jiayi and Cheng Feng walked out of the gate of J Academy. After the sun went down, the temperature changed from warm during the day to a bit cooler. Jiayi proposed to eat at a small shop near J Academy, so the two of them held hands instead of driving. Walking on the streets of the university town, along the way, Cheng Feng kept wrapping Jiayi's hand in his own. This inadvertent little action made Jiayi feel extremely moved.

Although the hotel selected by Jiayi is not luxurious, its business is very prosperous, the decoration of the store is full of vigor, and most of the customers in the restaurant are students from nearby colleges and universities.The boss and Jiayi seemed to be very familiar, so he specially arranged for them to have dinner in a relatively quiet upstairs private room. Seeing the two holding hands, the boss couldn't help but secretly looked at Cheng Feng several times curiously.

Sitting down in the private room, drinking hot barley tea, the cold air on Jiayi's body gradually dissipated, and his whole body felt warm, but his face was still a little pale.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Feng stretched out his arm, took Jiayi's hand across the table, and looked into her eyes: "Stop thinking about it, okay?"

"No?" Jiayi smiled and looked back at him: "What are you talking about, you are so stupid!"

"You can't hide it from me, it's not the first day I've known you!" Cheng Feng held Jiayi's hand tightly: "I know you're still worried, your worries are written all over your face!"

Jiayi smiled wryly and shook his head: "How could I be so careless? I understand the danger of this matter. Even if I tell you, I don't worry about you at all. Would you believe me?" Is it?"

Cheng Feng was speechless, that's right, just like what Jiayi said, no matter how unburdened she was, and how she was not worried about herself, he couldn't believe it, because if the situation was reversed now, He is probably the same.

Seeing that Cheng Feng was silent, Jiayi sighed, and stretched out his hand to caress his cheek: "No matter how worried I am, I won't make trouble for you at this juncture, so don't worry about me, I just hope that I can provide some Help, let this matter pass as soon as possible, so that we can live steadily without fear."

"Jiayi, the job of the police is very risky. I don't know how many times I will encounter similar experiences in the future after what happened this time." Cheng Feng felt sorry for her, but he was helpless: "Do you regret choosing me?"

Jiayi shook his head resolutely: "Fool, my uncle is also a policeman, how could I know how dangerous your work is on the first day! I only hope to face it together with you."

"Jiayi, don't meddle in this matter!" Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cheng Feng flatly refused.

Hearing what he said, Jia Yi almost jumped up from his chair: "Why? You never rejected me and the case before, why do you suddenly disagree now?"

"Sit down and listen to me!" Cheng Feng saw that she was getting agitated, he quickly pulled her to sit down, and patiently explained: "This time the situation is different, just like our previous analysis, the murderer is the one We don’t know whether he came here specifically to target me, or to provoke the police by the way. But I know one thing very well, even if the murderer wanted to provoke the police to satisfy his perverted psychology while taking revenge on the deceased , and there is no guarantee that he will not jump the wall in the face of pursuit and arrest, and if he is really targeting me from the beginning to the end, the situation will only be even more pessimistic. You are the person I care about the most, and you are my weakness , I promise you, I will try my best to minimize the danger, and I also hope that you can stay in a safe position and don't get involved, putting yourself in danger."

"I understand, I understand everything you said!" Jiayi refused to compromise: "But have you ever thought about a question? I am not a policeman and I have not received professional training. Even if I do not participate in the investigation of the case, if The murderer wants to kill me, how can I protect myself? I know you are worried about my safety, but have you ever thought about leaving me out of the whole thing and letting me be by your side, you Which one do you think is safer for me?"

Cheng Feng was stunned, and what Jiayi said made him speechless.It turns out that this is how fans of the authorities feel!I was thinking about how to make Jiayi protect my own safety, but I ignored the potential risks of isolating Jiayi from the incident.

Looking at Cheng Feng's expression, Jiayi knew that he had already been convinced by him, so he quickly said in a soft voice like a baby: "You can take me with you, I will definitely not make trouble, and you can take me with you." Don't worry, right? Look at the tacit understanding between the two of us before, and this time we will continue to work hard, and we will also play the role of a male and female dual evil, oh, no, it is a male and female dual hero!"

Cheng Feng was so teased by her that he couldn't hold back, he laughed, and now, he can only go on following what Jiayi said.

After dinner, the two picked up the car and drove all the way back to Jiayi's home. It was still early, so Jiayi invited Cheng Feng to sit upstairs.

Jiayi made two cups of coffee and put them on the small coffee table in the living room.

"Drinking coffee at night, aren't you afraid of insomnia?" Cheng Feng frowned. He knew that Jiayi would definitely be upset by what he heard today. He was afraid that she would be upset and unable to sleep because of it, but now she took it again Wouldn't it make things worse when the coffee came out.
"It's okay," Jiayi waved his hand: "Decaf coffee is just to satisfy your mouth craving, just drink it for a taste, don't worry!"

She paused, but still couldn't help but want to talk about the case with Cheng Feng: "Are you confident in this case?"

"Yes," Cheng Feng said firmly, "Although this case happened suddenly and we don't have enough information for the time being, as long as it is a crime, there will be loopholes. We will find out the truth sooner or later!" Then he Then he smiled and asked Jiayi: "Why don't you help me to make a criminal profile of this murderer too! Tell me your point of view so that I can learn from it."

Jiayi thought for a while, and said cautiously: "I think, first of all, this murderer either has special religious beliefs, or has a lot of research on religion, otherwise, most people would not treat people like reverse pentagrams." The meaning represented by the symbol is so clear, and it will be used in criminal acts. Secondly, a certain behavior of the deceased must be very unforgivable in the eyes of the murderer, so after killing the victim, he will use it again symbol to indicate that the soul of the deceased will belong to the devil. At least, the murderer’s hatred for the deceased may not be simply a grudge, but may be deeper than that. Third, generally speaking, the more complicated the killing process and techniques, the more complex the murderer’s physical body will be. Only when a person cannot satisfy his desire to control others by relying on his own normal ability, will he develop a distorted psychology to satisfy it by going astray. The strong often overcome the stronger than themselves. Strong people build self-confidence, and the opposite is true for weak people. So I think the murderer should be a thoughtful person with a certain level of education, not a purely violent criminal."

While chatting, Cheng Feng’s phone rang, it was Tian Yang’s call, Cheng Feng hurriedly answered it, Tian Yang said on the other end of the phone, Cheng Feng listened with frowning, after a long time, he simply explained Tian Yang said a few words and hung up the phone.

"The identity of the victim has been confirmed." Cheng Feng said to Jiayi with a solemn expression.

Jiayi hurriedly asked: "A student from our J Academy?"

"That's right, it's Sun Ting, a third-year student at the School of Administration of J College, who was found missing for five days during our investigation today." Cheng Feng got up: "I have to go back to the bureau!"

"I'll go too!" Jia Yi hurriedly followed.

"Don't go!" Cheng Feng turned around and stopped Jiayi who wanted to go together: "Be obedient, you won't be able to help you if you follow today, and we have to go to your school to investigate tomorrow. How are you with the case? After I leave, you lock the door and go to bed early!"

Jiayi thought about it, it was indeed getting late, and he would just add to the confusion by following him, so he nodded, sent Cheng Feng out, told him to be careful on the road, and to give himself a message when he got home safely after work.

After Cheng Feng left, Jiayi lay on the bed alone and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The life that had been quiet for a period of time was once again stirred up by this sudden incident.

Jiayi felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

I hope it's just me worrying about it, she thought.
