"You, why are you looking at me like this, I...this..." Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Nan and the others nervously, and then looked at the puppet placed in the box.
The puppet in this alley was wearing a police uniform sewn with denim. The whole body was dark red. It was the same as the previous puppets of Zeng Li and Mo Dan. When the carton was opened, it had the same bloody smell, and this puppet had stickers on its mouth.
Full of two rows of teeth, up to the root behind the ear,
It looks very attractive, but what worries Qin Nan and the others the most is that the puppet has a long whip on its head, which hangs straight down to the puppet's feet.
This couldn't help but remind him of Ma Xiaotao's hair. This feature matched Ma Xiaotao very well. Moreover, the demon doll was also wearing a police uniform. When they saw it, they thought of her immediately.
"What does this mean? Could it be that the person behind the scenes will send one to each of us?" Wu Fayi said looking at the puppets in the box, feeling very uneasy in his heart.
No one answered his words, everyone was thinking about their own things.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao frowned and saw that there seemed to be some kind of print on the waist of the puppet. She quickly put on disposable rubber gloves, then took the puppet in her hand, and then slowly turned the puppet over.
Pass over.
Suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly, full of doubts and fear.
"What's wrong?" Qin Nan asked when he saw Ma Xiaotao had such a big reaction.
"This print... this print is the print on my old jeans. I haven't worn them for several years. Then I accidentally threw away these jeans. I should have thrown away these jeans when I was packing my clothes some time ago."
That's it..." Ma Xiaotao frowned and said softly.
"How long has it been since you threw it away?" Qin Nan asked.
"It's about a year or two ago..." Ma Xiaotao said, looking at the print on the puppet's back.
"How could this happen... It's impossible..." Wu Fayi said to himself.
"It seems unlikely that the people behind the scenes have been observing from a year or two ago. These puppets only appeared recently. Isn't the print on these jeans a coincidence?" Wu Haotian looked at Ma Xiaotao and asked.
"Impossible, because I made this print myself in a DIY shop. Look at this print. If I bought it, how could it look like this? I painted it myself, and then the processing master printed it for me.
from,
Later, I thought this print was very commemorative, so four years ago I took this print to a tailor shop and sewed it on my jeans," Ma Xiaotao said with certainty.
Qin Nan looked at the print on the back of the puppet. It was a Mickey Mouse. It did look like her style. It couldn't be said to be pretty or ugly, but it always gave people a weird feeling.
"Four years ago...one or two years ago...could it be that she was my sister?!" Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Nan with wide eyes.
Qin Nan also shook his head affirmatively and said: "Xiaotao's incident should not have been done by Xiaolu, because so far, we don't know where she is.
As of now, the only person who has any connection with these puppets is the old man in his 70s or 80s."
Although Ma Xiaotao had some expectations, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her sister. She was very conflicted at this time.
"What I'm sure of now is that the person behind the scenes must be eyeing Xiaotao, and is probably being monitored." Qin Nan said with a frown.
"Then what should we do now?" Wu Fayi asked.
Qin Nan thought about it carefully. She looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was a little distracted, and then at the puppet in her hand. Then she said, "Fayi, go and test this puppet to see if it is human flesh, and then take a look.
Are there any other clues?
Xiaotao, let’s go to your home now. I suspect that you are being monitored by someone, or that there is some kind of monitoring device or camera in your home.”
Ma Xiaotao and Wu Fayi responded, and then forensic doctor Wu took the puppet into the laboratory, and Qin Nan and the other two quickly arrived at her community.
Ma Xiaotao lives in an apartment complex less than one kilometer away from the police station, and the security and property management are pretty good.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian had never been to the place where Ma Xiaotao lived. With a "ding", the elevator door opened. There were more than ten or twenty families living on the same floor. There was also a trash can at the end of the corridor.
Ma Xiaotao led them to the door of the house. At this time, she was standing at the door of the house and seemed hesitant.
"Well...my house is a bit messy, just pretend you didn't see it...hehe..." Ma Xiaotao said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's as expected..." Qin Nan said.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at her, then inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door. At this time, there was a strange smell in the room.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian couldn't help but frown. The room was filled with a kind of perfume and the smell of some unknown fruit rotting.
"What kind of expression are you talking about? Just pretend you didn't see it..." Ma Xiaotao said with a frown.
"Then, can you open a window? More ventilation is good for your health..." Qin Nan said, covering his nose.
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at him, then walked straight to the window without taking off her slippers, and then opened the window. At this time, most of the smell in the room had dissipated.
The house that Ma Xiaotao rents may be more than 20 square meters, with single rooms, which is very convenient for one person to live in.
However, the garbage dump in the kitchen at the door is filled with food scraps and some rotten fruits. The sofa in the house is also filled with all kinds of clothes. It seems that they have not been washed for a long time, such as winter cotton-padded jackets and summer jackets.
Short sleeves, spring dresses...
"No need for slippers, just come in. Anyway, I have to clean tonight..." Ma Xiaotao said.
Qin Nan and the three of them had been observing Ma Xiaotao's house for a long time. It seemed impossible that someone was hiding in Ma Xiaotao's house. After all, there was only one room, and the closet was full of clothes.
Qin Nan initially suspected that it might be Ma Xiaolu, but after thinking about it carefully, the possibility was not high because there had been no clues for a while.
"Have you noticed any strange people when you went home recently?" Qin Nan asked.
Ma Xiaotao recalled it carefully and said no.
A pair of jeans that had been thrown away for a year or two have become the clothes of the puppet today. If that person started observing Ma Xiaotao a few years ago, it seems impossible. It should have only started recently.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the old man selling strange puppets on the street.
"Have you seen any old men selling puppets recently?" Qin Nan asked.
"The old man selling puppets? No." Ma Xiaotao said with certainty.
"Could it be that someone saw the photo of Sister Xiaotao wearing those pants..." Wu Haotian then said.
Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao thought of something, and then she hurried to the table by the window and started to look for something. She quickly flipped through a book.
About five minutes later, Ma Xiaotao slowly walked over and said to Qin Nan: "Well, my photo is gone. I do have a photo of me wearing that pair of jeans.
That was a photo of my sister and I... Just two days ago, when I was cleaning up the magazines and books at home, I accidentally threw the magazine with the photo in it next to the trash can outside the door..."
Wu Haotian hurriedly opened the door of Ma Xiaotao's room and looked at the trash can over there. He did not find that the pile of books Ma Xiaotao mentioned had been picked up by someone.
"Now let's go to the property management of your community and have a look. We should be able to see who took it," Qin Nan said.
Afterwards, Qin Nan and the others quickly arrived at the property management office of her community. After Ma Xiaotao showed her police officer ID, they smoothly arrived at the property's monitoring room.
Qin Nan adjusted the time to a period after Ma Xiaotao threw the pile of books, and as expected, he discovered the problem.
I saw that at two o'clock in the morning two days ago (April 10), that is, the night when Zeng Li and the others went to the amusement park, they came back and said they found an old man selling puppets outside the amusement park.
I saw a man wearing a straw hat slowly appear on the surveillance camera on Ma Xiaotao's floor. He slowly left the elevator and walked toward Ma Xiaotao's door.
Qin Nan couldn't help but frowned because he remembered the first time he saw the old puppet seller that night. The clothes he wore that day were exactly the same as those he wore during the surveillance...
When Wu Haotian saw the man wearing a straw hat, he immediately thought of the old man he saw that night.
I saw the man under surveillance walking staggeringly towards the door of Ma Xiaotao's house. He stood at the door for a while, not knowing what he was looking at.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao felt a chill on her back after seeing the person under surveillance. She did not expect that there would be someone standing outside her door in the middle of the night while she was sleeping. If she found him looking at her house that night,
