Chapter 120 The Purpose of Buying a Birthday Cake
"But there is no red five-pointed star on Lai Gui. And the red five-pointed star is too common in our country of China."
While everyone was talking, the door was pushed open, and Chen Mo walked in with a disheveled look on his face.
He looked severely damaged, as if he had been hit by a weak buff and was losing blood continuously.
"Captain Chen, are you okay? Why do you feel like you are going to die at any time! Qi Huan, a patient, can't help but get up and let you lie on the hospital bed!" Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately stepped forward and supported Chen Mo. .
He peered towards the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Director Ma didn't follow him.
"Captain Chen, you've suffered a lot!" Li Yuan was left with nothing but snot and tears.
Chen Mo waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go! You boy, you look like a human. The people in the publicity office saw that you looked majestic and wanted you to take publicity photos. But, good guy, in the Our special case team stood at the door for thirty seconds and left without saying anything."
Li Yuan chuckled, "You still want to joke, it seems that horse racing skills are not as strong as the legend!"
Chen Mo glared at Li Yuan angrily, "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak."
He said and looked at Shen Ke, "I heard everything you said. The most important thing now is, where are we going to find this murderer?"
Shen Ke glanced at Qi Huan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, and blurted out five words, "Red Star Orphanage."
"Why, just because there are red five-pointed stars, you can't suspect it is the Red Star Orphanage, right?" Chen Mo frowned.
This is of course a possibility. If it were someone else, Chen Mo would not ask at all. They are the police. If they can catch the murderer by running on foot, that would be the most happy thing. Isn't it just a run? At most It came up empty.
However, the person who spoke was Shen Ke.
Shen Ke never said anything he was unsure of.
"After I saw the red five-pointed star that Qi Huan pulled down, an idea flashed in my mind. I always felt that I should think of something, but I couldn't connect it all at once."
"Captain Chen is right. Red five-pointed stars are so common in our country. We wouldn't notice them at all if they are dark under the lamp."
Red five-pointed stars are a very common brand of canvas shoes. Such patterns are also common on the schoolbags and peaked caps worn by middle school students. Therefore, when she saw the five-pointed star on the schoolbag at the death scene, she didn't take it to heart at all. .
Jiang Yuan's umbrella was even more troublesome. Because of Qi Huan's preconceived introduction, the driving recorder picture was originally unclear and still black and white, so they did not pay attention to the wavy point, which was not a dot, but a five-pointed star.
When the umbrella was blown over, the white car stopped in front of Jiang Yuan. Everyone was paying attention to the car, so how could they pay attention to the umbrella that was blown over for a moment?
"The murderer would put makeup on the deceased, put on a red scarf, and adjust the posture of his fingers, which shows that he was a person with a strong sense of ritual, or that this sense of ritual was very important to him."
"So I think the red five-star he carried with him when he was killing people is also a very important prop with special meaning."
"At the beginning, before I saw Qi Huan's cell phone, what I thought of was the murderer's red five-star → the Red Star Orphanage mentioned by Qi Huan → high school student Sheng Xuan's mother said he would do volunteer work, and middle school students would do volunteer work. Other than going to an orphanage or a nursing home."
"What's the nearest institution like this near Tonghui Road? It's the Red Star Orphanage."
"What is the mask the murderer is wearing? What Qi Huan said at first is that it is a faceless male mask used by children to pretend to be ghosts on Halloween. Where is this kind of thing likely to appear? Places with many children."
Shen Ke said, picked up the phone and dialed the number of the mother of the high school boy named Sheng.
"Hey, Shen Ke, from the Nanjiang Municipal Bureau. I want to ask you a question. You said at the river that day that your son is a very good person. He even volunteers. Where does he volunteer?"
When the person over there received the call, he shouted excitedly, "Officer Shen, have you caught the murderer of my son?"
Hearing Shen Ke's question, he was instantly discouraged, "Why are you asking this? I went to the orphanage not far from our home for social practice during the summer vacation... He donated all his pocket money and returned I took a lot of books and toys over there."
"He... Officer Shen, you must catch the murderer quickly to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"
Shen Ke's cell phone was left open, and everyone in the special case team changed their expressions when they heard it.
"Okay," Shen Ke said expressionlessly and hung up the phone.
She raised her head and looked at Chen Mo, "This is what I thought of before I saw the red five-pointed star sticker on Qi Huan's phone case."
"Of course, there are red stars on Qi Huan's cell phone, on Sheng Xuan's schoolbag, and on Jiang Yuan's umbrella... Well, the murderer is much more superficial than I thought."
"Of course, this further proves that what I thought was correct is that the red five-star is crucial in this case. It is a triggering symbol that stimulates the murderer to kill."
"Then the cause of this should be the Red Star Orphanage."
…
Li Yuan stood in the elevator and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. It was almost twelve o'clock.
Qi Huan needed to recuperate, so Chen Mo and Zhao Xiaomeng used his ward as a base and guarded it in case the murderer failed to kill him and appeared in the hospital again.
He and the hot-tempered woman next to him were going to knock on the door of the Red Star Orphanage at this point.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Ke next to him say seriously, "Happy birthday."
Li Yuan was startled and almost didn't jump up. He looked at Shen Ke in surprise, "Who? Whose birthday is it? There are only two of us in the elevator. Don't pretend to be mysterious and scare me! Didn't I just make a joke with you? ?Still holding a grudge?"
Shen Ke glanced at him with contempt, "Didn't anyone tell you? When you hide your true intentions, you will talk a lot."
"You can see through your watch. Are you worried that no one will say happy birthday to you before twelve o'clock?"
Li Yuan's ears turned red and he cleared his throat, "Who's worried? How old am I? What birthdays are there for me? Isn't this just following behind to protect Xiaomeng? It's so dry that it's too eye-catching, so I just bought one. cake."
Shen Ke didn't say anything, looked at her tattered skirt, thought about it, rummaged in her small satchel, found out a piece of chewing gum, and handed it to Li Yuan, "Nothing else, this is a birthday gift. "
Li Yuan took the piece of chewing gum with some dumbfounding, "Thank you! Don't tell them about my birthday, or you will laugh to death."
Shen Ke said "Oh", "It's okay, they laugh to death every time they mention you!"
