Chapter 10
Half a month later, the second murder occurred. The target was still a woman, and it was still at night. In the alley, the method of killing was similar.
All of a sudden, it attracted the attention of the central government. When such a thing happened in the central government, it inevitably caused a little panic.Fewer people traveled at night and more people patrolled, but that didn't stop a third crime a week later.
Taking the address and wearing a military jacket in his hand, Opalxi walked to the door of the office of the person responsible for the serial murder case.Someone who didn't look at the door plate knocked on the door, and Ao Poxi pressed the doorknob, entered the office, stood up straight and bowed, just about to introduce herself, she froze.
Not because the people in the office were doing weird things, but because the people in the office were people she knew.Seeing her, the man wearing square glasses stood up, waved his hand to Opex happily, and exclaimed: "Isn't this Opex!? You are what I said above, help us The alchemist who captured the prisoner this time?"
"Mr. Hughes..." Opalxi widened her eyes slightly, and she seemed a little surprised. After reflecting for a while, she stood up straight and answered Hughes' question: "Sorry——no, I mean, Yes! I am the responsible alchemist who came to assist in this case."
Tongues were a little knotted, and Opalxi like this made Hughes laugh, and the atmosphere eased a little.Ao Poxi pursed her lips, and finally showed a little embarrassed expression for her embarrassment just now.Hughes stood up, coughed twice, touched his neck, and said: "I just proposed to Gracia, and it ended up like this. I also want to say that I will make an invitation card during this leisure time." ——Now it seems that we should solve this matter first, and then go to solve the trivial matters of life."
With that said, Hughes opened the drawer and put several folders in front of Opalxi.Ao Poxi realized the beginning of the business, opened the folder, glanced roughly, touched his chin, and came to a conclusion: "They are all young women with brown hair."
"Yes." Hughes nodded, agreeing with Opalxi's words, Opalxi looked at it again, and it seemed that there was nothing else in common.She thought of something, closed the file, and continued to point out to Hughes: "Although it is my personal opinion, I don't think the one downstairs in my house was his first crime, because in that crime, he I was ready to beat, stab, and leave quickly. So I think the first crime should be during the war, and that time should be an impulsive crime. It is very likely that the victim of that time and the prisoner this time Relevance. Looking at the frequency of crimes... it should not exceed half a year. There were not so many central personnel during the war, so it is possible to be skipped hastily."
"...Understood, I will ask someone to look for the files during that time." Hearing what she said, Hughes touched his chin and nodded.Opalxi glanced at Hughes slightly, and continued to look at things: "Does he have a distaste for women's faces...? But the faces of these women are not so similar. Could it be that he doesn't like his own face?" Are you confident?"
"You said it as if he was inferior to himself..." Hughes said, then stopped talking and thought for a while.Ao Poxi pursed her lips and thought about it for a while, but the two of them still couldn't figure out why, so they decided to watch the crime scene first.
"It's all alleys." Opalxi looked at the location and felt a little headache. She is not very good at finding patterns, so she only came to this point.Hughes also had some headaches. After all, if there were other cases as Opersey said, then the real pattern could be confirmed with that one: "First tell the brunette woman through the newspaper to be careful and minimize nighttime travel. At the same time Patrols will be increased, and those three alleys will reduce patrols... your one—”
"I'll pay more attention, and I'll deal with someone." Opalxi nodded, agreeing with Hughes' approach.After dealing with the things that can be done now, Hughes and Opalxi went to the repository of criminal records within half a year.
"In short...brown hair, bruised nose and swollen face, young woman." Hughes listed the main points, Opalxi nodded, and opened the file first.Seeing Opalxi's concentration, Hughes knew that he couldn't disturb her anymore, so he also took out a file and flipped through it.
However, after searching for a long time, no similar cases were found.While the two of them were still looking, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Opus was startled, and Hughes let people in.
The person who came in saluted, and then, the report said: "In District 18, another homicide occurred."
"What!?" Hughes stood up, a little surprised, he looked at the time, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.Ao Poxi put down the file, looked at the soldier, his eyes were a little strange, and quickly covered up by other emotions: "Are you sure it was done by the same person?"
"The victim was a young woman with brown hair who was beaten and stabbed to death," the officer replied, and Hughes and Opus stood up and walked outside.The officer also followed, and Opalxi glanced at the officer without leaving a trace, the officer made a silent movement, and Opelxi walked forward helplessly.

After getting out of the car, the area has been circled, because it is working time, there are not many people around.
"He's getting bolder, and he's speeding up his crimes." Hughes looked at the condition of the corpse, frowned, looked at the sun in the sky, and at the road with no one behind him, smashed I clicked my tongue.Ao Poxi nodded, walked into the scene, took a rough look, and touched his chin: "At noon... this area is a work area, most of the people are working, this suspect should be responsible for this area A very understanding person."
"Is it the staff in this area?" Hughes frowned and said, Opalxi squatted down, sniffed, stood up again, and said to Hughes, "The smell of fish."
"Really?" Hughes squatted down and tried to smell it. The strong smell of blood covered everything. Hughes stood up and shook his head, indicating that he didn't smell anything.Ao Poxi sniffled, thought of something, and asked, "Is there a fish shop near here?"
"Yes, there is one right next to it. Why, you have to trust your nose and try your luck there?" Hughes replied, pointing in the direction.Aupoxi nodded, pointed to the one who brought them here, and said to Hughes: "Excuse me, can I take this gentleman to the fish shop to inquire about the situation? If it's just me, I don't have much dignity .”
"I see, I will see what is the pattern between the victims and the area." Hughes agreed to Opalxi's request, Opalxi glanced at the officer, and walked forward, the officer faced Hughes Salute, and then leave with Opalxi.After walking for a while and confirming that no one was listening, the officer now started the topic: "Why, can't I work with you?"
"Enwei shut up." Opus pouted, and said to Enwei who was disguised as an officer, tugging at his collar.Before walking to the fish shop, Opalxi asked: "This time, can I borrow Gratney's power?"
"Difficult." Enwei replied: "But it is indeed a bit tricky, so my father asked me to help."
Opalxi shook her head, the fish shop arrived before Enwei asked what she meant.Ao Poxi gave Enwei a wink, and Enwei stepped forward, nodded to the people in the fish shop who were open, and took out his ID: "Hi, we are military personnel, and we want to ask some questions here. Things, do you have time?"
"Excuse me... did it happen that the woman died over there?" The man paused and asked cautiously.Enwei put away the documents, and Ao Poxi took a step forward at this time, stood up straight in a somewhat regular manner, and said, "You already know about that, so I won't talk nonsense. Excuse me, it's open now Are you the only one in the middle?"
"Ah... no, there's Zoff at the back." Shaking his head, he pointed to the shop behind him and yelled, "Zoff, come out!"
"What's the matter?" A man came out from inside. Ao Poxi and Enwei roughly asked them where they were going at noon, but the two of them just ate here and had no time to commit crimes. They also said that the people from the opposite house could Testify to them.I also asked if there are other employees working today, and got the answer that only the two of them are here today.
Ao Poxi and Enwei looked at each other, and Ao Poxi pursed her lips, feeling a little stuck.Enwei thought for a while, then tapped Aopexi on the shoulder, and said, "There are fish shops in other blocks. Is it possible that people from there came here to commit crimes?"
"It's also possible..." Opalxi touched his chin, and the two returned to the scene of the crime, and Hughes also finished the examination and prepared to take the body back and hand it over to the forensic doctor for examination.
Hughes sighed, looked at the situation, and didn't say anything.Opalxi bit her little fingernail, but said nothing.Surrounded by a somewhat depressing atmosphere, Ao Poxi thought of something, looked at Hughes, and asked: "...Although it's just my guess, could it be that he didn't die completely when he committed the crime for the first time? So Why are you stabbing so many knives...?"
Hughes opened his eyes wide, listened to Opal Hee's words, and thought for a while.Turning around and putting on his clothes, Hughes immediately ordered Enwei to turn into an officer and drive them back.
"If there is a similar case, I hope to find out if the people around her have any fish shops." Opalxi suggested to Hughes, and Hughes smiled after hearing this: "You are really obsessed with this point Ah, but if you stick to this one, you might miss something—"
"..." Ao Poxi curled her lips, lowered her head, and finally said in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."
Hughes covered his face, he should have expected such an apology, but Opal Hee had already said it, if he said don't apologize, the next apology is bound to come.So here, Hughes changed the subject: "So...his crime area is not far away. I remember correctly, your house is also nearby."
"...You said it this way..." Ao Poxi touched her chin, nodded, and shrank again.The scenery of the street was changing, Opalxi touched his pocket, and the cigarette case was inside.
After this thing is over, she must smoke.
