That day, Luo Xiaoxi gloriously won the championship in the South China Satellite TV model competition.
But because of this championship, she made her father so angry that he was almost hospitalized. He cut off her pocket money in a rage, and even her doting mother couldn't save her.
reason?
Her father felt that her dressing up like that on TV was simply ruining her family style, and asked her to throw away the championship trophy immediately and go back to work at the company.
"No reply! I don't want to wear a suit and live a nine-to-five life!"
Luo Xiaoxi had the guts to reject her father, completely ignoring the lack of living expenses, and stayed in her small apartment waiting for the agency to contact her.
If she wins the championship, there will definitely be an agency with the discerning eye to sign her, and she will definitely become a sparkling international supermodel in the future!
Su Jianan advised Luo Xiaoxi not to join this circle, it was too chaotic, but Luo Xiaoxi clenched her fists and said, "I want to shine brightly for Su Yicheng to see! Anyone who stands in my way will be destroyed!"
Su Jianan had long expected that Luo Xiaoxi would not compromise so easily, so she put the 40,000 yuan in cash she brought on her table: "I can only help you get here."
Luo Xiaoxi was cut off from her living expenses and was worried about where to borrow money. When she saw the pink banknotes, her eyes immediately lit up. She hugged Su Jianan hard and said, "Sisters, I will never forget you when we become famous!
Hey, has your boss Lu come back yet?"
Su Jianan said: "There are still two days."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I remember it so clearly." Luo Xiaoxi poked Su Jianan's shoulder ambiguously, "Do you really want him to come back soon?"
"Hmm, think about it."
Su Jianan nodded as Luo Xiaoxi wished.
She remembered Lu Boyan's words clearly. When he came back, he would have something for her.
She still can't imagine what Lu Boyan will bring her. She is looking forward to it. Of course she wants Lu Boyan to come back soon.
Luo Xiaoxi said "hmm" and moved her fingers: "I'll count on my fingers, Su Jian'an, you are really going to fall in love with someone else!"
Su Jianan smiled to herself, her eyes brighter than usual: "Bring me a pair of pajamas, I'll sleep with you tonight."
I don’t know if it was because I was thinking about it, but that night, Su Jianan dreamed of Lu Boyan.
He appeared at the door of his house dressed in formal attire and a little tired, just like he usually came home from get off work.
She was suddenly elated and rushed forward regardless, looking at Lu Boyan excitedly, waiting for him to take out the things he had brought back for her.
Lu Boyan touched her hair: "It's been so long, Mrs. Lu, why don't you hug me first?"
"Then it depends on whether the things you brought back to Mrs. Lu are enough of a surprise!" She pestered Lu Boyan, "What exactly did you bring, show me quickly."
Lu Boyan stretched out her hand, and just as the secret was about to be revealed, there was a sudden pain on her cheek, she hissed, and had no choice but to wake up from her dream.
"You're going to be late for work!" Luo Xiaoxi pinched her face and shouted in her ear. "You smiled so sweetly in your dream. Did you dream about your boss Lu?"
It really is.
But just don’t tell Luo Xiaoxi!
Su Jian'an's mood was greatly exaggerated by that dream. She kicked off the quilt to clean herself up and came out refreshed. However, she saw Luo Xiaoxi holding her mobile phone on the bed as if she was in a daze.
Finally, a brokerage company wants to sign a contract with her?
Su Jianan walked over quietly, only to find that Luo Xiaoxi was actually reading entertainment news. She vaguely saw the words "Lu Boyan", "Han Ruoxi", "Hotel lingering" and so on. Luo Xiaoxi discovered her
, hurriedly hid the phone.
"Eh? You've changed your clothes. Let's go have breakfast!" Luo Xiaoxi tried her best to put on a bright smile, "Go chase Yueju, I'll treat you!"
Su Jianan calmly stretched out her hand: "Give me the phone."
Luo Xiaoxi held her phone and shook her head: "There's nothing to see, let's go have breakfast. If you don't like Zhui Yueju, we..."
Su Jianan's eyes were calm and her face was expressionless. She just stared at her no matter what Luo Xiaoxi said.
Luo Xiaoxi knew that she must have seen something, and there was no point in hiding it, so she handed the phone out.
Su Jianan unlocked the door and finally saw the news headline clearly——
"Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi went to the United States for a secret meeting and stayed in the same hotel for four hours."
Her brain seemed to have been bombarded, and it went completely blank. She couldn't think of anything, and her fingers mechanically pulled down.
Then I saw news pictures.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi were sitting in the restaurant of the famous hotel. Han Ruoxi was lazily sitting on the sofa shaking a red wine glass. Lu Boyan, who was sitting opposite her, had no obvious expression on his face, but
He has always been cold and stern, but treating Han Ruoxi like this can be called gentle.
In the second photo, they had returned to the hotel room. Han Ruoxi's shawl fell to the floor. She and Lu Boyan were hugging each other. Their lips and teeth were touching. The big bed next to them seemed to be hinting at something.
The next few photos are similar to the second one. The only difference is that more and more parts of Han Ruoxi's body are exposed, Lu Boyan's suit is getting messier and messier, and the pair are getting closer and closer to the big bed.
It makes people think...
The entertainment reporter wrote at the end that Lu Boyan went into Han Ruoxi's room and didn't come out until early in the morning. It took nearly four hours in total. Everyone knew what happened. Moreover, they took the same flight to the United States yesterday.
, it seems to be for work, but in fact... the real purpose may not be work~
After reading, Su Jianan had regained her ability to think. She took a deep breath and returned the phone to Luo Xiaoxi: "Why are you still standing there? Go change clothes. Didn't you just invite me to chase Yueju for breakfast?"
"Jian An..." Luo Xiaoxi came over, "If you feel..."
Su Jianan interrupted Luo Xiaoxi with a slight smile: "You don't want to regret it, do you?"
Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth: "I'm going to change clothes! Just wait for me." Give Su Jianan time to sort things out first, and then they can solve it together.
Su Jianan took her mobile phone and left the room. The smile on her face finally couldn't be maintained. She doubted what she had just seen, but she didn't have the courage to look back and look again.
Luo Xiaoxi said it right again, business trips are the most dangerous.
Her heart seemed to be pressed down by a big stone, and she wanted to ask Lu Boyan what was going on.
But if Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi are real, then...what position does she have to question? Lu Boyan has already said that he has no feelings for her, and he divorced her after two years, right?
At this moment, Su Jianan was like an insect that had fallen into a spider's web. Even though the place was so empty, she was still struggling until she was almost suffocated.
If she can't find anything to do, she might be tempted to go to the United States to find Lu Boyan.
You can't do that, you absolutely can't...
At this moment, Su Jianan's cell phone rang. She thought it was Lu Boyan. She picked up the phone and looked, but it was Captain Yan calling.
Hey, he didn't call to ask about the gossip about Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi, right?
Su Jian'an answered the phone, and Captain Yan's voice was urgent: "Jian An, a murder occurred in 502, Building 16, Tian'an Garden, can you come to the scene?"
"Yes! We'll be there in 30 minutes!"
Su Jianan put down her phone and hurriedly found her car keys, said something to Luo Xiaoxi and left.
When Luo Xiaoxi ran out, Su Jianan had disappeared. Only her mobile phone was lying on the sofa. She shook her head: "It's weird that I wasn't affected! I even forgot my mobile phone."
Su Jianan wanted to call Jiang Shaokai but couldn't find her cell phone. Then she remembered that her cell phone was left on the sofa. She decided to gamble on her tacit understanding with Jiang Shaokai and drove straight to Tian'an Garden stubbornly.
Arriving downstairs in Building 16, Su Jianan finally understood why Captain Yan's voice was so urgent just now when he saw the cordon and people surrounding Building 16. The case was very serious.
She showed her ID to the police officers guarding the cordon and asked, "Is Jiang Shaokai here?"
"He and Captain Yan have both arrived."
"Thanks."
Su Jianan went directly to the fifth floor.
Jiang Shaokai was already waiting for Su Jianan and threw her gloves and clothes directly to her: "I brought all your things over."
"Thanks." Su Jian smoothly put on her gloves, "I knew you would help me bring my things." This was one of the few tacit understandings she and Jiang Shaokai had cultivated over the years.
"Jian An," Captain Yan came over, "can you work normally? If not, we will send someone else over and you can rest for a few days. This case is not simple, you can't joke."
"Have you all watched the news?" Su Jian'an couldn't help complaining, "Jiang Shaokai has gossiped about me. Don't worry, private matters will not affect my work and judgment."
Captain Yan chose to believe Su Jianan and nodded: "Then let's get started."
Su Jian'an and Jiang Shaokai conducted an on-site autopsy and found out at a glance that the deceased was tortured to death. The murderer's methods were very similar to those of perverted killers in European and American violent movies. He carved various patterns on the deceased's body and finally dismembered her.
Her limbs were tortured and she bled to death due to the abuse.
Su Jianan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, her hatred for the murderer slowly covering up all her mood swings in the morning, and she took the initiative to ask to follow up on the case.
She needs to find something challenging to divert her attention and play a game. This cruel murderer is a good choice.
"We plan to assign you even if you don't follow us." Captain Yan looked solemn, "Jian An, we suspect that the murderer is going to commit crimes serially. The deceased was usually a kind person and had no grudges with anyone. It is initially judged that the murderer has nothing to do with her. This murderer is very good.
There may be something wrong in his heart, and we suspect that he will also look for another girl living alone to kill. You have studied criminal psychology concurrently, and the autopsy work will be handed over to Mr. Jiang. You can help us find the murderer."
Su Jianan nodded: "Okay."
Facts have proved that Captain Yan's guess was correct. In the afternoon of the same day, another murder occurred in another community. The deceased was also a young girl living alone. The death condition was exactly the same as that of the girl in Tian'an Garden. The police determined that there were two murders.
The murders were committed by the same person using the same means.
The four words "serial killer" hung like a terrifying haze over City A. The girls living alone were all terrified. Su Jianan and the people from the criminal police team were very busy trying to find out the murderer.
It was also at noon that day that Luo Xiaoxi received a call from a brokerage company. The broker asked her to go in for an interview about signing a contract.
Only Su Jianan's cell phone was lying alone on Luo Xiaoxi's sofa, ringing constantly, with the three words "Lu Boyan" displayed on it.
Luo Xiaoxi was not at home, so naturally no one answered the phone. Not long after, the cell phone battery ran out and automatically shut down, and the call could not come in...
