Late at night, in the hospital, after Mo Xiuxiu confessed some facts, Qiao Ze quickly gathered the information and sent it out.

The serious crime team, the review team, the leaders, and all parties in the police community received the latest progress of the case at the same time.

The entire death live broadcast plan was proposed by a boy named Tao Yingxu from Wanhu No.1 Middle School.

But then he was also killed. The murderer pretended to be Tao Yingxu and planned to continue. A life-threatening prank turns into a real killing game.

The current suspect is a friend of Tao Yingxu...

What kind of friend is this, who took the whole plan as his own, replaced it with cruel execution, and then hanged Tao Yingxu in the demolished house?

Su Hui walked out of the ward and sat in the hospital corridor to talk with Lu Junchi.

After listening to the questioning process described by Su Hui, Lu Junchi compiled all the current information. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Su Hui, do you think it is possible to profile now?"

Su Hui was silent for a moment and said: "The evidence is still too little, and the confession is only from Mo Xiuxiu. The profile is probably inaccurate. But..."

When he said this, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the electronic clock on the wall of the hospital. In his blurred vision, he couldn't see the specific numbers, but he could see the red letters jumping and jumping.

Both ends of the phone were silent, but Lu Junchi knew what Su Hui wanted to say. Su Hui also knew very well what Lu Junchi meant.

Time is too tight now, and there will be the next live broadcast in less than half an hour.

No detection can be done so quickly.

Fingerprints, bloodstains, footprints, autopsy, all comparisons can't be made.

They can rely on only the most basic investigative skills and criminal psychology profiles.

If they can make the correct profile at this time, they can speed up their efforts to find the murderer.

Su Hui looked out the window of the hospital. It was hazy outside. He could vaguely see some tall buildings in the distance, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually receded.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the night is like a flower.

This is Huadu, the city under their feet.

Tonight, for the sake of a few young lives, there are so many people in the city who have not slept, and they have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders.

Su Hui pursed his lips and clenched his cane to calm himself down.

He no longer hesitated, but said sternly: "The time is urgent, I will profile it, but it cannot be used as the basis for the final decision."

Lu Jun said lately, "Understood."

"There are two murderers. The leader, the self-proclaimed anchor, is a male, under the age of 20, similar in height and weight to Tao Yingxu, probably in the rebellious period of his youth..."

"Murderers achieve their goals by killing innocent people, which is a manifestation of cowardice in psychoanalysis..."

"He is very impulsive. The meticulous part of the plan may have been designed with Tao Yingxu's help, and the murderer's own behavior will create loopholes and variables..."

"The murderer is an extremely confident and paranoid person. He is very cruel and conceited. In the murderer's mind, he only believes what he thinks, and he thinks his actions are right and superior, and he looks down on others People, think that everyone else can be sacrificed..."

"Outside conditions and language can't shake his decision. He likes to be **** and doesn't like to listen to other people's opinions. He is very sensitive and suspicious..."

Su Hui didn't speak quickly. Many comments were inferred from the details of the scene and the words of the anchor. He tried hard to make each of his profiles have empirical evidence.

Lu Junchi listened to Su Hui's story one by one, and the image of the murderer gradually became clear in his mind.

It was a conceited, paranoid, impulsive and cruel teenager.

Su Hui coughed a few times and continued: "The murderer may be Tao Yingxu's friend. This friend is not limited to classmates and relatives. You can start from his social relationship. That person knows Tao Yingxu well enough that the two of them can even talk about anything. , this plan may have been involved from the very beginning of the murderer, and he knows all the details of tonight."

"Others..." Su Hui closed his eyes for a moment, and continued on the basis of his knowledge of the murderer in the case just now, "The murderer is very familiar with Wanhu City and has been to many places, and he repeats every crime location. I have stepped on it. Unlike Tao Yingxu who likes it here, he is extremely disgusted with it, and has no good feelings for the people here. He is like a passer-by outside the city of Wanhu, but he is forced to stay in this kind of place. He is a Selfish man, I think he might have done what he did tonight for a vendetta."

"Then how did he get here?" Lu Junchi frowned. He could feel that this boy might not be an aborigines here, and his thinking and practices were also incompatible with this place.

"It's not certain at the moment, maybe his family has experienced some changes." Su Hui coughed a few times, "He has poor empathy ability, contempt for life, and doesn't believe in the legal system. However, even so, this murderer did not take murder as a reason. Happy, he has a purpose in doing this live broadcast. In order to achieve his purpose, he can sacrifice everything."

The further back, the more Su Hui felt, that the murderer was not a perverted murderer. He did not rely on killing for pleasure, nor was he for grandstanding. He had his own purpose, and the murderer was walking towards his predetermined ending step by step.

Su Hui took a deep breath, leaned down on his cane and continued: "I judge that he may have some connections and grievances with those people mentioned before."

After listening to Lu Junchi, he said, "I asked them to investigate in this direction..."

The current information is fragmented, time is tight, and they haven't put everything together well.

Su replied: "The murderer did this on purpose. He needs to put some people on the altar to escalate the situation, so he will deliberately prevent the police and the public from answering the previous questions." He paused. To explain further, "The game is not over yet, and some of the puzzle pieces have not yet emerged, so we can't spell the complete pattern."

Such behavior has formed the current situation.

Lu Jun said lately: "That is to say, it is very likely that we have not touched the subsequent puzzles?"

Su Hui snorted: "But the more you go, the more different it will be, Long Xiaochen, Lian Chengyan, Na Xuehai, these people are higher than each other, and at the same time, they are gradually changing from small people to big people. The requirements of the murderer are also gradually escalating. In the beginning, they just announced the crime, and later they asked the media to intervene. At the end, it should be the moment when the public and the media pay the most attention. The next target person must be more famous than Na Xuehai. A richer person. In the murderer's perception, this person is the most sinful person. He hopes that this person can stand in the foreground."

Lu Junchi's voice came from the phone: "Why didn't the murderer use formal channels to fulfill his demands?"

Su Hui replied: "Going on this road is closely related to the character and experience of the murderer. I think, first of all, if he does not believe in the law, if he is not sure whether to use the normal way, the other party will be punished; secondly, he may I want to discredit the other party in this way and ruin their reputation."

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, "I even doubt whether the last person is guilty... The trial of three sinners with solid evidence is enough to make people question the last person..."

Lu Jun was silent for a while, digesting the information Su Hui said.

At this time, Su Hui thought of the girl who was following: "There is another person, the auxiliary murderer, she is a female, aged 14 to 18, a high school student, she should be a female student of Wanhu No. 1 Middle School. She is very thin and looks ordinary. , reticent. There is no more evidence to show the role of this girl in the whole case. She may have been coerced, or she may have been a follower or admirer of the murderer."

"So the third live broadcast may be done by these two people, right?"

"The third live broadcast should have been faked by them. The male murderer was dressed as Tao Yingxu. The girl might be there to assist, and some of the voices were recorded in advance, so there was very little interaction. What appeared on the screen was the girl's. The hand, carefully zoomed in, there is a difference. The purpose is to make everyone believe that Tao Yingxu died in this live broadcast. Tao Yingxu's body only appeared at the end. "

Lu Junchi continued to ask questions: "According to the forensic test results and Tao Yingxu's departure time, he died between 4:10 and 4:40, that is, before the live broadcast. I have a question, since the murderer wanted to Why don't you put this live broadcast earlier or later?"

Su Hui narrowed his eyes, and rubbed his thumb on the cat head of the cane repeatedly: "Because the murderer thinks Tao Yingxu is a very important person, he and the murderer have been implicated a lot, and starting with his death may make the police investigate soon. To the murderer. But he didn't want to waste the body. The murderer believed that putting this scene in the middle and back of the live broadcast was the best way to grasp it. The murderer did not know when the police would be able to find Tao Yingxu's body, so He will keep people around to prevent anyone from discovering the truth."

Lu Jun thought for a while, and Su Hui's analysis was correct. If this live broadcast was the first or the second, they might have already found out some relevant information, and the murderer's follow-up plan would not be able to proceed.

Lu Junchi asked, "Then, in your judgment, how many more live broadcasts might there be?"

Su replied: "One or two games at most, this matter will end tonight."

Speaking of this, Su Hui suddenly thought of Mo Xiuxiu's testimony.

Tao Yingxu's purpose is to draw everyone's attention to Wanhu City, hoping to continue the unfinished building project.

So is Tao Yingxu's purpose different from that of the murderer, or is there a partial convergence?

If Tao Yingxu is still making arrangements, who will he take as his ultimate goal?

How will he achieve his goal?

What about the current murderer, are their goals the same...

Lu Junchi interrupted his contemplation and said, "I'd better find the murderer first. Once we find the murderer, we will be able to know more about his motives. The police in the precinct have already contacted Tao Yingxu's mother, and I will go over to her immediately. See below..."

Su Hui agreed, stood up and said, "I have finished asking here, we will meet later."

There is not much time left, and they must work hard to turn the tide of the battle and take the initiative.

Su Hui had a feeling that at this moment, they were only one step away from the truth.

It is already late at night, and there is not much nightlife in Wanhu City, and many families have already begun to prepare for sleep.

The lights are gradually extinguished, and the world is about to sink into darkness.

This section of the road has no street lights, it is dark and quiet.

A skinny girl was walking on the road when she suddenly stopped. She looked up at the sky, feeling like a bright light had crossed the dark blue sky just now.

The time was too short, only between a breath, so she couldn't see clearly.

"Li Xiaonan, what's the matter?" The boy walking in front turned back and urged her.

"It's nothing, it might be a meteor..." The girl said and ran a few steps, catching up with the boy. She silently made a wish in her heart just now, and she hopes that tonight can pass as soon as possible.

"The moon is out, there is no astronomical forecast recently, how can there be meteors, you must be wrong." The boy's tone was slightly indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm.

Li Xiaonan listened to his words, the night wind made her feel cold, and the girl's thin body trembled unconsciously. She was afraid of him, the person in front of her was moody and crazy, and she didn't know what he would do next.

He's a ruthless murderer and she's already watched him kill a few people tonight...maybe she'll be next...

She regretted that she was not bold enough to escape during the last live broadcast...

She also regretted why she did it with him.

"Let's go quickly, it's almost too late." The boy urged her again.

Li Xiaonan lowered his head and quickly followed.

There are policemen everywhere in Wanhu City, but they are like mice roaming in the alleys, knowing how to go to avoid those people's search.

You can't go to the unfinished building, and the house to be demolished is no longer safe, but they know more hidden places. This one has already been selected.

The two men bent over a fence and got into a deserted place.

From the outside, it looks like some iron walls, but after drilling in, there is a hole in the sky.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a place in the center of Wanhu City.

This is a small stadium, and it has long been unfinished. Construction has stopped. There is no maintenance in it, and the facilities have not been completed.

They strode through the grass that was higher than their knees.

The young man turned on a flashlight and walked to an unfinished building inside. He went up to the third floor. This is a large stand, which is much higher than ordinary floors.

The young man shouted cautiously towards the darkness, "Ye Xinchen, are you there?"

It's too empty here, and his voice echoes slightly.

After a while, a muffled voice came from inside: "I'm here..." The voice asked again, "Tao Yingxu, is that you?"

"It's me." The boy put on the mask on his face and said, holding Tao Yingxu's mobile phone in his hand, "I sent you a WeChat message just now, why didn't you reply to my message?"

A tall and thin figure came out of the darkness. It was a boy wearing the uniform of Wanhu No. 1 Middle School. He was a sophomore this year, and his name was Ye Xinchen.

"My cell phone is out of power." He only had a worn out old cell phone, the battery had already aged and would be out of power soon, Ye Xinchen paused and asked again, "Why are you carrying this thing? It looks scary. of."

The teenager straightened the mask, lowered his voice and said, "It's more convenient for the live broadcast."

Ye Xinchen asked again, "What's wrong with your voice?" He remembered that Tao Yingxu's voice was clearer and better.

The teenager coughed twice: "I have a cold recently." He urged, "The time is up, let's start as soon as possible."

They quickly came to the agreed place, Li Xiaonan put things on the ground, tapes and ropes. The teenager turned on an emergency light he carried with him.

The whole space lit up with white light.

The two were skillfully preparing.

The boy named Ye Xinchen came over, pointed at Li Xiaonan and asked, "Who is she?"

The teenager answered him: "The person who helped me live."

Ye Xinchen hesitated for a moment, his eyes were filled with fear, and he kept swallowing: "I watched your previous live broadcasts... Did they all survive?"

The teenager walked over with a rope, like a hunter, ready to bind his prey: "Yeah, everything is going well now, they are all alive, just as I told you before. This is acting, so far , it's all planned."

"Didn't the police come over?"

"That's natural, those idiots are played around by us."

Ye Xinchen didn't raise his hands to cooperate with his binding, he frowned and asked, "Did you bring the ten thousand yuan you promised me?"

The boy said, "I brought it. I'll give it to you when you finish the live broadcast." After he finished speaking, he raised a kraft paper bag in his hand.

In order to convince these students, some means are necessary.

Tao Yingxu already knew the family situation of these people and what they wanted.

Everyone has some weaknesses, but not everyone is as simple and deceitful as Mo Xiuxiu. They will ask for some corresponding things, such as Kong Tao, who proposed a new pair of basketball shoes.

And this boy named Ye Xinchen was very short of money. In order to see a doctor for his mother, he asked for a reward of 10,000 yuan.

Ye Xinchen said vigilantly, "Give me the money now."

The young man turned his head and looked at him with the mask on. At night, the white mask looked a bit terrifying, and Li Xiaonan, who was beside him, also stopped.

"Didn't we agree before? You don't believe me?" The boy's tone was a little displeased.

Ye Xinchen said, "Give me the money first! I will cooperate with you and trust you." His voice trembled a little.

The teenager felt that he was a bit difficult to deal with, so he opened his mouth to discuss: "But what if you take the money and don't broadcast live? Or, I will give you a thousand as a deposit first?"

Ye Xinchen took it, but she didn't even count it. She put the money in her pocket and ran out.

"Wait!" Li Xiaonan stood up and tried to stop him.

The teenager also found out what was wrong with him, and grabbed him: "What are you doing? You're not trying to cheat money, right? You won't be broadcasting live when you get the money?"

Ye Xinchen's face turned pale under the emergency lights, but his eyes were red, and he gasped sharply: "I regret it! You let me go now, or I will tell the police all about you..."

The two young men scuffled together, and the money was scattered all over the floor.

Ye Xinchen looked at the money on the ground for a moment, and subconsciously reached out and wanted to pick it up. It was the thing he lacked the most... Even if he only got one or two.

But the young man had already come to his side and attacked him crazily. Ye Xinchen's hesitation made his movements a little slower...

The young man was not strong, but he had a kind of cruelty. He picked up a brick from the side and hit Ye Xinchen on the head.

Ye Xinchen was touched, and the whole person was covered.

Then the young man pushed him to the ground when he was not prepared, and pressed him on Ye Xinchen's body.

Ye Xinchen stretched out his hand to block it, the strap of the mask on the boy's face was broken, and the white mask fell to the ground with a bang.

The boy's face was exposed under the mask. It was not clear from a distance just now, but now it was close, and a white light shone on the boy's face.

Ye Xinchen didn't see Tao Yingxu very often, but he still recognized it, his eyes widened in disbelief: "You...you're not Tao Yingxu!"
