Now is the intermittent period of the live broadcast, but all the police dare not stop. They are always vigilant and ready to deal with the start of the next live broadcast.

According to the location of the two murders, the police have begun to infer the area where the third live broadcast may be.

With the experience of the first two times, before the live broadcast started, the police had prepared sufficient manpower and were ready to start various investigations at any time.

Only if the speed is fast enough, can we run to the front of the murderer and prevent the tragedy from happening.

Lu Junchi has been in contact with all parties, busy making various arrangements and dispatches.

If it was someone else, he might be overwhelmed by such fast-paced big information, but his coherence allows him to quickly straighten out relationships everywhere, synthesize various clues, and quickly make correct decisions under high pressure .

Qu Ming had already contacted Wanhu Middle School and retrieved the list of students who did not return home. He quickly reported: "Lu team, we have contacted all teachers, called one by one, and checked the whereabouts of the students in the class. Thirty-five students went home. Thirty-five people have gone through repeated attempts, either their parents could not be reached, or their children had been unable to reach them. Some of the parents said that their children usually come home late. "

"Also, the principal said they had just had a group activity in the morning, so the students were mostly in school uniforms."

Naturally, it is impossible for these thirty-five people to be all kidnapped, and some of the potential victims in this list are temporarily lost.

Most of the students in Wanhucheng are from poor families, and their parents are usually busy with work, and many of them are in other places. After school, the children will play basketball, go to small Internet cafes, and even go out to play with each other, so when they contacted for a while, parents did not know where their children might be.

This range is already very small.

Thirty-five children's school registration forms were sent along with their photo data.

Lu Junchi looked at the list of people sent by Qu Ming. If the next victim is still on this list, then what Su Hui said is probably right. This is a hunting plan for the students of Wanhu Middle School.

Children are like offerings placed on the altar to fulfill the murderer's purpose and wishes.

But why Wanhu No.1 Middle School?

And why are these children?

People just took a breather. At nine o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast room was bright again, and the third live broadcast arrived as scheduled.

Although it was very late, the number of viewers was still skyrocketing. In addition, the network blockade has been lifted, and the number of people watching the live broadcast has now reached 180,000.

This time, the live broadcast room was obviously different from the previous two.

This is a messy room. The furnishings in the room are very simple, there are some black marks on the walls, and there seem to be some sundries on the ground. This is a small room that has been inhabited, but the owner has left in a hurry. A lot of stuff is left as garbage.

The picture paused for a moment, and finally focused on a teenager. The boy was about a teenager, with a tall character and short hair. He was also wearing the school uniform of Wanhu No. 1 Middle School. His eyes were also blindfolded, and his hands and feet were tied. A thick rope was tied, and the top of the rope was tied to the curtain rod of the house.

During the camera shooting, people can clearly see that there is a dark red birthmark on his forehead.

At this time, the teenager was sitting on a chair, and the rope around his neck was just hanging in the air, but if the anchor performed the operation, it could be tightened immediately.

Obviously, the way of execution has changed again.

Due to the increase in the number of people in the live broadcast room, the messages have also become refreshed faster, and some messages flashed by, making it almost impossible to read.

"It's too cruel! This has already killed two people in a row..."

"Why not stop live streaming?"

"Are you going to hang yourself this time?"

The anchor's voice changed by the voice changer sounded again: "Hello everyone, this is already the third live broadcast tonight. It's still the old rules, I will announce a name, and you have to find out the evil things he did. And this time, I want our game to level up, you need to put that man in front of the camera, face more than ten media outlets, and publicly admit his crimes."

"Public crime? Wouldn't that be surrendering? Who would be so stupid?"

"Is this forcing the police to find evidence and then find the person?"

"How many people will he kill?"

"...Now, it's time to announce the perpetrator." As the anchor spoke, a hand stretched out from the screen and hung a piece of paper with his name on it in front of the boy.

"Na Xuehai, forty-five years old, the owner of Huadu Chengxin Building Materials Company, now, you have an hour to find out what he has done, and then let him face more than ten media and publicly apologize."

"I found this person, and he is indeed the boss of a building materials company!"

"Looking at the looks, I don't think it's a good thing."

"What bad things would the boss of a building materials company do? Could it be that there is something wrong with the building materials sold?"

"Don't be fooled by his identity, maybe he will kill and set fire to lure little girls."

With the increase in the number of people, the spam in the live broadcast room also flooded in rapidly, and the messages were swiped quickly.

Xia Mingxi didn't need to remind him, he has already started to search for the information of Xuehai: "This Xuehai has more information than the previous two people. This boss started his business at the age of 33 and has been selling various buildings. Material……"

Immediately, the information about Xuehai was posted in the group.

The owner of a building materials company will naturally leave a lot more information than ordinary people.

The address of the registered company, home address, as well as various tax situations, family property flow, these information are retrieved with the fastest speed.

Xia Mingxi said in the group: "I am aggregating information on the Internet. Although the number of people watching the live broadcast has increased now, the effective information has become less..."

Su Hui typed a few words back to her: "bystander effect."

The bystander effect is also known as the responsibility dispersion effect. When there are too many people facing an emergency, the responsibility is shared among each person, but people will not act.

The same theory applies on the Internet.

Now that more people are watching the live broadcast, the possibility to help is indeed reduced and the time is extended.

There are even some people watching the fun mixed with ordinary netizens, making inappropriate jokes in the live broadcast room.

The whistleblower hotline in the General Bureau is ringing from time to time, and the police have deployed several operators to answer them, but so far, there is basically no effective information coming in, and some people are even busy and insulting the police for their inaction.

We can't give too much hope to netizens, they can only rely more on their own investigations and intensify investigations.

Lu Junchi immediately said: "Call Xuehai directly. Zheng Bai is going to bring someone over to question him."

Whether there are criminal facts, the parties are the most aware. Facts have proved that although the anchor's methods are despicable, the first two people he revealed are definitely not good people. At this stage, the deaf and dumb person who learns from the sea can't be tolerated.

Su Hui added: "Also, check to see if he has contact with the former Long Xiaochen and Lian Chengyan."

A foreman, a demolition thug, and now the boss of a building materials company, there seems to be a hidden line between these people, but they haven't connected that line yet.

Lu Junchi asked Qu Ming again, "Has the victim's identity been confirmed..."

Qu Ming flipped through a few documents, and quickly found one and sent it out: "Mr. Su's prediction is accurate, based on the birthmark on the forehead, hairstyle, height and other characteristics, it can be determined that the victim is named Tao Yingxu. A student in the third and fifth classes of Wanhu No. 1 Middle School. He told his family that he would go to the library to study in the afternoon, and he did not go home until dinner."

The group sent Tao Yingxu's photo, as well as his detailed information, student registration form, etc.

The boy in the photo has neat facial features and is very handsome. There is a red birthmark on his forehead, which makes it easy to identify.

"Tao Yingxu's academic performance is very good. He is usually a class leader in the class. The emergency contact person is his mother, and the teachers have rated him very well..."

Lu Jun quickly said: "Qu Ming, the information on the student registration form is too incomplete, you quickly contact the school, investigate the three victims, compare and investigate their routes home, and see what they have in common, whether they are together. Where they have been. Also, check their personal hobbies, what activities they have participated in, what books they have borrowed, what school clubs they have participated in, and which classmates they have a good relationship with at school, all these information are required.”

Over time, more and more victims show up, which means they can find common ground among victims. You can then find out the potential connection between them and the murderer.

Qu Ming hurriedly responded and communicated with the school, but his forehead was sweating.

If it is normal, such a case, with so many victims, even if a summary is to be made, it will take several police officers to investigate, schools, families, and friends, one by one, and it will take several days.

With so much urgency now, he felt a huge pressure.

Su Hui was also thinking at the side, sorting out his thoughts.

Now they have three victims, the first Kong Tao, a third-year high school student, male, was burned to death.

The second Mo Xiuxiu, a sophomore in high school, was placed in a fish tank and nearly drowned.

The third Tao Yingxu, a senior high school student, is about to be hanged.

They were all kidnapped after school, three of them, with different genders, different classes, different execution methods, and different execution locations.

These children must have something in common that they don't know yet.

Compared with the previous two surprises, the police have already gained experience this time, and all work started quickly.

But the time is still too tight, so nervous that they have no way to inquire one by one in detail, they can only choose the safest direction to investigate.

Su Hui thought of something, and exhorted: "Even if you want to fulfill his conditions according to what the host said, you can't do it too quickly. If it is too good, he will feel dissatisfied, and his behavior and requirements will be further escalated quickly..."

Just like the last time, the police disclosed Lian Chengyan's crimes, but he still drowned Mo Xiuxiu in the water and changed the rules of the game.

Lu Jun nodded: "We must make all kinds of preparations and try our best to take the initiative." He asked Qiao Ze again, "Can you confirm the location of this live broadcast?"

From the background of the video, it can be inferred that this time the live broadcast location should not be those unfinished buildings, but a messy room in an old house.

Not long after Qiao Ze returned to the command car, he carefully checked the screenshots.

"From the perspective of the window, the height of this window is not high, and the floor may be on the first or second floor...not like a building." Then he enlarged the background with his finger, "There are some graffiti figures on the background, crooked. It's crooked, it feels like it's left by a child."

They had just rescued Mo Xiuxiu before, so they probably passed by with the anchor. There is no monitoring here in Wanhucheng, and there is no more traffic. If the anchor wants to move to a new live broadcast location that meets the requirements, it may take some time, that is, the location will be closer than they estimated.

Qiao Zebi checked the map: "If it is in this area... it is likely to be a shanty town in Wanhu City to be demolished."

Even though the shanty towns have been reduced in size, there are still more than 10,000 households living here, and so many people live in narrow lanes.

If you want to find a live broadcast room, it is no less than entering a large maze.

Lu Junchi calmly said: "Let the fifth branch send ten people to stay here, and the others will follow us quickly and search in different directions. Also, I think even if it is a demolished house or an unfinished building, it can be broadcast live. It must be in a place with better network speed, there are not many base stations here, and some areas can be excluded."

On the way, Lu Junchi had discovered that the nearby signal was not stable, and the murderer must have rehearsed in advance and chose a location with better signal to be able to broadcast live.

The command car started, and Su Hui thought of something and said: "In the live broadcast just now, I found a detail, although those children were covered their mouths and eyes, and they had struggled, but I I feel a little unreasonable..."

Lu Junchi turned his head and asked, "What?"

"I haven't thought about it too clearly." Su Hui shook his head and didn't elaborate. Then he rubbed his forehead. "Also, when I found out that Mo Xiuxiu was submerged in water, it seemed like there was something in the water..."

His eyesight was really hard to see, so after reading it twice, he sent a screenshot of his mobile phone to Lu Junchi.

Lu Junchi enlarged the picture. When Mo Xiuxiu was pressed into the water by the murderer, something was displayed in the fish tank.

It was the silhouette of a girl, a girl in the school uniform of Wanhu Middle School, with her hair hanging down, just blocking her face.

"There is a girl in the picture, not sure if it is the victim or the associated murderer..."

This shows that in addition to Mo Xiuxiu and the anchor, there is a third person at the scene.

Who is this girl? The case has developed to the present, and it has become more and more complicated.

As he was talking about this, Su Hui suddenly asked, "Are you coming to Wanhu Middle School soon?"

Qiao Ze looked down and said, "Ah, yes..."

From a distance, they could already see a building of Wanhu Middle School. Now the office building in the school is lit with lights, and it is clear that the teachers have all returned to the school because of the emergency.

Su Hui said to Lu Jun late: "You put me here, I want to ask the teachers at the school to see if they know more."

The three victims were all school students, and now there is a girl in a school uniform in the picture, which is definitely not a coincidence.

Although Qu Ming is in contact with these people on the Internet and is also conducting telephone exchanges, but at this time, it is very likely that effective information will not be gathered soon.

Lu Junchi weighed all the pros and cons and Su Hui's safety. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiao Ze, you follow Mr. Su."

Su Hui was stunned for a moment and said, "It should be very safe in the middle school, and those teachers will be there..."

He feels that the police force is insufficient now, and hopes that more people will find the anchor's position.

Lu Junchi insisted: "The school's clues are also very important, and during the case handling process, at least two people were present."

Su Hui just hummed and said nothing.

The car quickly stopped at the gate of Wanhu Middle School, where most of the children of the families living nearby go to school.

Su Hui leaned on a cane and quickly got out of the car.

Qiao Ze, who had climbed almost ten buildings just now, was left behind by him, and limped up with his tablet in his arms: "Mr. Su, wait for me..."

Watching them leave, the vehicle starts up again soon after.

Lu Jun checked the time late, it was 9:15 p.m., and there were forty-five minutes before the end of the live broadcast.
