Tan Jiao finished speaking and lowered her head. Although I knew she was telling a lie, I felt a chill in my heart. I knew it was her conjecture and imagination about the murderer, the crime scene.

  Lao Ding's eyes also flashed with movement for the first time. Because Tan Jiao casually mentioned these, perhaps they are very important details clues.

  "Is there anything else?" Old Ding asked hastily. "Did they say or do anything else? Think carefully, girl!"

  Tan Jiao made a bewildered expression: "What else?" As if he didn't know how to answer.

  Lao Ding immediately changed his questioning method: "What does that place look like? Do you still remember where it is?"

  Tan Jiao said: "I don't know, I escaped when it was still dark, I was afraid of death, ran for a long time, and finally met a taxi, took the car to find Wu Yu."

  I immediately said: "I looked for her all night, and just as the sky was getting light, I returned home to see if she had come back. As a result, I bumped into her. I asked the taxi driver, saying that it was a car on Ping'an Road. But we didn't... take a taxi receipt that day."

  Chen Xingjian's home is near Ping'an Road. Every word we say has been carefully planned.

  Old Ding immediately turned his head and said to the young detective: "Go to the taxi company right away, that morning from Ping'an Road to... your home address?"

  I reported my address.

  Tan Jiao continued: "I only stayed there for one night. Another person was always standing very far away, and I couldn't see what he looked like. But he said a few words to another person..."

  Lao Ding immediately asked: "What's going on?" I also looked at Tan Jiao.

  She said: "He said... He said, brother, don't rush, come slowly, looking at her begging and screaming at the same time, it's the most fun. Remember to look into her eyes at that time, those eyes must be the most beautiful."

  He said: We are not harming her, we are helping her. Also helping ourselves, you understand?

  He also said: It's finally started, tomorrow, it will begin with her, the police won't be able to catch us. We'll follow the example of some masters in history, and do it neatly, so that the police can't even touch our behinds. By the time they come back to their senses, we'll have already left Suzhou, taking our souvenirs with us.

  ……

  "He's a madman. The two of them, absolutely mad and perverted. Captain Ding, you must bring them to justice, don't let any other girls be harmed."

  ——

  Later, Tan Jiao also "recalled" a piece of paper with names written all over it and some photos that he had "witnessed" at the scene. The names were confirmed, and the photos cleverly captured the work and living environments of several future victims. I saw Old Ding's eyes shining brightly, but his expression became even more serious, and he quickly instructed his subordinates to do something.

  Then he said to us: "You go to the rest room and wait for a while, we need to have a meeting to discuss this situation."

  It was already late at night. There were no cameras or recording devices in the rest room, and there was no one else around. Tan Jiao sat with me for a while before asking softly, "Do you think they'll believe us?"

  I said: "Yes."

  Her face suddenly lit up with joy: "I'm doing so well?"

  I smiled slightly and said, "That's just one aspect. Many times when people judge others, they look at the background. You're a well-known writer, I'm a graduate of a prestigious university with a clean record, we have no reason to lie. So although this matter is sudden and shocking, at least they won't ignore it."

  Tan Jiao leaned her shoulder against mine and said, "Are you always so rational and calm?"

  I said: "No."

  She smiled and said: "I also think this time we can catch them."

  "Thank you," I said softly.

  She closed her eyes, as if exhausted, and said: "No need to thank me. Remember, from now on, your Sun God will always be by your side."
