Chapter 17

The next day, Su Xiaopei got up early in the morning and studied the case file again. If he couldn't make out the meaning of some details, he went to ask Ran Feize who was working.

Ran Feize had traveled to many places, so he knew the situation in various places. Su Xiaopei asked him about the situation in the cities and counties where the crime occurred. The two were discussing when Bai Yulang came running again.

This time, he didn't need someone to take him, and ran directly into the backyard. When he saw Ran Feize who was chopping firewood, his jaw almost dropped.

Heroes still have to chop firewood? !
"Big brother?"

Ran Feize looked calm: "Brother Bai is here, what's the matter?"

Bai Yulang settled down: "I wrote a letter yesterday and night, intending to report it to Qin Butou. I will set off today and lead people to Kang County to investigate further."

Su Xiaopei glanced at Ran Feize, he was really right, Bai Yulang seemed to be quite reliable in his work.

"I came here because I want to show the letter to my elder brother. Is it like this? If there is anything else that needs more attention, I will discuss it with my elder brother."

Ran Feize took the letter and read it seriously, Su Xiaopei glanced aside, it turned out that it was also written in classical Chinese.

She sighed, everyone clearly understood what they said, why did it have to be so troublesome when it came to writing?

She stopped peeking at the letter, and simply took this opportunity to ask Bai Yulang again: "Brother Bai, I discussed it with Ran Zhuangshi, and there are some things I don't understand, so I want to ask you."

"Sister, please tell me."

"Are the families of the victims all of the same size and style? Are they all well-known in the local area?"

"What does it matter?"

"It's not mentioned in these case files, but you have to pay attention to these situations. If there are some similarities in the families of these victims, such as family conditions, reputation, status of brothers and sisters, etc., Brother Bai can use these conditions when investigating. For reference. For example, I asked the strong man just now that there are no outstanding big families in this stone town, and there are three or four nearby villages and towns, all of which are poor places. These conditions do not meet the criminal's goal , the manpower of the government does not need to be placed here. I am not very familiar with the places where the government issued reward notices, but Brother Bai must know it all. According to the law of criminals, it is reasonable to target cities and counties with large households. too much."

"Elder Sister, did you mean that there is no need to send more people to a town like Stone Town?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. The manpower of the government must be limited, and it will be easier to catch criminals if they are placed in cities and counties that are suitable for the target."

Su Xiaopei only regrets that there is no Internet, no electronic map, and no file photos of the crime to see. The crime scene and victim information are too limited. Otherwise, she could have deduced it more accurately.

In the current situation, she is a little ashamed to say it, but she really relies on her intuition and experience.But according to the current information, poor places like Stone Town really don't have the fugitive's target.

"It's inappropriate for eldest sister to do this. Although Stone Town is small and poor, who can guarantee what the criminal thinks? The officials in various places are so tight, and most people think that small places have few people and inspections are not strict. It is easier to run to small places. Besides, regardless of rich or poor, it is the duty of the government to protect the peace of one place, and not to let the people here be in danger just because the place is poor. Everyone knows that there is such a thing as Stone Town. The evil thieves are rampant, and the government has not sent people to come here, and only rely on the local officials, what will the people think? The people are in panic, how can the officials be at ease? These words."

Su Xiaopei was so choked that he really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although Bai Yulang's words are not unreasonable, but what makes people panic, isn't it the government's reward announcement?Your government advertises everywhere that there is a murderous raper here, but our government can't catch it, so please help.Can the people not be afraid of such clamor?

But Su Xiaopei didn't dare to say these words, she knew that this was not the time to argue about such things.

When she came to Stone Town, except for eating a bowl of noodles at Tang Lian's house, she spent all her time in the backyard of this tavern.She really didn't know much about the situation in this town. The bandit who robbed Tang Lian was not caught. It is estimated that the people in this town still have thorns in their hearts. It is normal to be frightened by this reward.

More importantly, Su Xiaopei knew that in order to gain Bai Yulang's trust and make him willing to use his own deduction to handle the case, she had to "please" him, and arguing with him was definitely not a good thing.

So she just accepted the evaluation of being narrow-minded and short-sighted.

"Brother Bai is right, I didn't think carefully."

Bai Yulang was also polite, waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay, eldest sister is also a smart person, just learn more from now on."

Su Xiaopei nodded, she knew that her plan of continuing to investigate the details in the cities and counties where the reward was offered and set up a hunt for regional targets would definitely come to naught.

At this time Ran Feize had already read Bai Yulang's letter.This letter carefully wrote the plan they discussed yesterday, saying that he first went to Kang County to investigate, mainly rich and powerful families who had married couples and had a family background, as well as nunnery temples in nearby cities and other places, the reasons for investigating these and His plans and arrangements were made clear.In addition, it also explained that the current manpower and arrangements for issuing reward notices remain unchanged.

Ran Feize felt that there was nothing wrong, and discussed with Bai Yulang to confirm a few more words. This discussion was an indirect retelling of the contents of Bai Yulang's letter. Su Xiaopei could hear clearly, and felt that Bai Yulang's thoughts were still quite organized, and he felt at ease.

Bai Yulang was very happy to get Ran Feize's approval.He said that he would arrange for people to deliver the letter as soon as he got back, and he would take the people away immediately.As he spoke, he took out a badge and handed it to Ran Feize, saying that he had agreed with the yamen, and that he was not here, if Ran Feize had any needs or new clues to tell him, he took the badge and went to the yamen to tell him Just one call, and someone from the other end will report to him.And if there is any situation on his side who sends someone to report, or Qin Butou sends someone to look for it, the other party will only send the news to Ran Feize when he sees the waist card.

Ran Feize was also polite, and readily accepted it.

Bai Yulang had explained everything, so he took his leave.

Su Xiaopei saw that although Bai Yulang was young and engaged in blind worship, he was thoughtful and orderly in doing things, and he was quite a gentleman.

Ran Feize said: "Don't underestimate him, there are many dragons and phoenixes in the Bai family manor, and the six young masters of the Bai family are all good, but the sixth son is interested in being a fast catcher, otherwise, at his age, he will be able to take care of him." With the name of Baijiazhuang, he can already stand out in the Jianghu."

"Oh." Su Xiaopei really felt illusory about Jiang Hu.

Bai Yulang left, all Su Xiaopei can do now is wait.So she withdrew her thoughts and planned to think about Tang Lian's situation again.

Psychogenic amnesia, this Tang Lian does not have.Su Xiaopei knew that she had lied about this matter, but on a deeper level, it was difficult for her to judge.

After all, Tang Lian still had reservations about her. Although she relaxed more and more during the conversation, Su Xiaopei still noticed her vigilance.Talking about unimportant topics, she can let go and talk more, but as soon as the topic turns back to the bandits and what she went through, she immediately shuts down.

She's fine with the stress response part, and she doesn't seem to have any fears or nightmares, at least she hasn't mentioned it herself.Su Xiaopei used her insomnia and dreams to guide the topic, hoping to get some guidance, but Tang Lian just said that she couldn't sleep well, and didn't talk about nightmares and other discomforts.As a person reborn after a catastrophe, she is indeed quite strong.

In fact, Tang Lian's uneasiness and disgust at her father's sending her to a nunnery to become a monk was greater than the fact that she was taken away.

If in modern times, if Tang Lian was her patient, Su Xiaopei would have more ways to help her.But here is another world, and Su Xiaopei still struggles with detailed psychological counseling. After all, everyone thinks differently, and there is also a problem with coordinating language.She still can't make Tang Lian aware of what she is doing. If she says that I want to enter your heart and I am helping you, Tang Lian will probably be frightened, repelled or even disgusted.

So Su Xiaopei's efficiency is very low, she needs to understand before she can integrate.

And the matter of integration is a matter of learning. The establishment of a good relationship requires not only the same thoughts, but also suitable language and body movements. Su Xiaopei does not have these. She is learning, and she has improved in several conversations with Tang Lian .

As for the bandit who hijacked Tang Lian, Su Xiaopei asked Ran Feize about it.

Ran Feize said that there is still no movement from the government.Before Tang Lian, there was a robbed victim who committed suicide after being robbed and raped.The woodcutter found the girl's body on the mountain.After that, the story of bandits abducting people spread, but no one saw it.

Several months later, Tang Lian was robbed in a dark alley in the town. Her shoes fell into the alley. Her family reported to the police. It's a pity that she doesn't remember the details after being robbed.And the bandit didn't show up again. Right now, the government's attention is all on the serial murder case over there, and the case of this bandit is less guarded.

Some people speculated that Tang Lian escaped but the bandits did not move. Maybe he died in an accident in the mountains, which gave Tang Lian a chance.A bolder guess is that Tang Lian killed this person, so she was frightened for a while, and was so frightened that she couldn't remember anything.

Su Xiaopei secretly remembered these things in his heart.She planned to take her time and unravel Tang Lian's defenses step by step.

This day Tang Lian came to look for her again.Su Xiaopei always thought it was a good thing that Tang Lian was willing to take the initiative to come to her.The common experience of being killed on the mountain together and being picked up is good for building a relationship of trust between them.Su Xiaopei thought this might be fate, God's arrangement.

It was mid-afternoon when Tang Lian came to look for her. There was no one in front of the wine shop, and of course there was no one in the backyard.

Tang Lian likes to come to Su Xiaopei at this time, because it's quiet and won't meet too many people.Su Xiaopei also felt that the Tang family might not be under strict surveillance this afternoon, so she could come out for activities.

Ran Feize went out to help Boss Song deliver the goods.

Su Xiaopei thinks this is very good, she can have a good chat with Tang Lian again.But this time Tang Lian was restless, and Su Xiaopei felt that she might have something to tell her.She is not in a hurry, timely silence is also very important in psychological counseling, and sometimes interrupting the other party's desire to talk, Su Xiaopei is very patient, she is waiting for Tang Lian to take the initiative to speak.

Ai Ai said a few irrelevant words during Tang Lianqi, Su Xiaopei answered her words, she saw the uneasiness concealed on her face, she mentioned the nunnery, Su Xiaopei was thinking that she should be hopeless about the future, she was about to speak However, Tang Lian suddenly stood up and said that she was not allowed to go out at home, so she had to go back quickly.

Su Xiaopei knew that she had lost this opportunity and could only wait for the next time.She sent Tang Lian out of the door, and when she returned to the backyard, she was still thinking about Tang Lian's words and expression. There were too many possibilities for the fact that it could make her uneasy.

Su Xiaopei walked to the door of her woodshed and was about to go in when suddenly a big hand stretched out from behind her and covered her mouth.

Cardiac arrest.

Su Xiaopei's eyes widened in fright, before she could struggle, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, her eyes darkened, and she lost consciousness.
