She is in the fog

Next, He Xi asked a few more questions symbolically, and after confirming that nothing was wrong, he thanked the driver and left the bus company.

On the way down the stairs, He Xi kept thinking and analyzing the conversation just now.

"No father or mother", "No fixed residence", "Has a history of drug abuse", the situation the driver knew was almost exactly the same as the information obtained by the police in the previous life.

Of course, the premise is that the "Ren Yan" who killed people is really Ren Yan.

Ever since seeing that Ren Yan was left-handed, He Xi began to doubt the murderer's true identity.

How could a left-handed person choose to use his uncommon hand when committing a crime? How could a living person suddenly disappear after committing a crime? Furthermore, how could a person who had been wandering in Nanzhou City for several years, penniless and destitute, escape from the police for ten years? And finally become the leader of a drug trafficking gang?

So, there is only one possibility.

"Ren Yan" disguised himself as Ren Yan, killed someone and then escaped, causing the police to focus their attention on the real Ren Yan. The murderer took off his disguise and got away with it.

But in the previous life, the police did find the murderer's hair tissue in the room, which was an exact match to Ren Yan's DNA.

A light suddenly flashed in He Xi's mind, and he came up with an extremely bold guess.

The murderer had targeted Ren Yan a long time ago. He had plastic surgery or makeup to look like Ren Yan. Before committing the crime, he subdued Ren Yan and left Ren Yan's hair tissue and traces of drug exposure at the crime scene. In addition, Ren Yan had been to a drug rehabilitation center and had a history of drug abuse, but had no entanglement with Ming Mei, so it can be attributed to a random murder.

Finally, he fabricated a false story that Ren Yan had killed someone and escaped, and he himself escaped.

And there has been no trace of Ren Yan in the past ten years. Perhaps he has already been abandoned by the real murderer.

If this is true, besides Mingmei, the victim is also Ren Yan?
He Xi took out his cell phone and dialed the number Ren Yan left. A female voice without any emotion came from the other end: "Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service."

She put down her phone, went to the nearby police station to call Mingmei, and assigned her a task.

She tore off a piece of paper, wrote down a phone number on it, and handed it to Mingmei: "Go to the business hall later and top up the phone bill on this number until you can make calls normally."

Mingmei took the phone paper and asked, "What about you? Aren't you coming with me?"

"I have to go to the train station to verify my guess." He Xi did not hide anything. "I'm not 100% sure whether he did it to you, so I can't take you on this risk. After you top up your phone bill, go back to the school dormitory and wait for me."

Although Mingmei was worried about He Xi's safety, she didn't want to cause trouble for her, so she agreed obediently: "Okay, give me some time, okay?"

He Xi raised his left hand. The time on his watch showed 11:23. "Four o'clock in the afternoon, four o'clock at the latest. Whether I find him or not, I will definitely be able to return to school."

"Okay, then I'll go recharge my phone first." Mingmei clenched the note in her hand tighter, and when she was about to leave, He Xi suddenly stopped her.

She studied her pretty face, then frowned and shook her head.

Mingmei was a little nervous. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No, but..." He Xi still frowned. The face in front of him was too beautiful. She was the type that could be noticed at a glance in a crowd. It would be bad if the murderer noticed her in advance.

"But what?"

He Xi looked around and found a boutique nearby, so he took her hand and said as they walked, "Let's go, I'll give you two small gifts."

He Xi picked and chose on the shelf, and finally chose a pair of black-framed glasses, and carefully put them on her. He then casually took a beige cap from the shelf on the other side, shook it by the brim, and put it on Mingmei's head. Looking at his masterpiece, He Xi nodded with satisfaction: "It will be difficult to be recognized this way."

Mingmei quickly walked to the mirror, looked left and right, and immediately curled her lips and complained: "These glasses are so ugly."

"You look very beautiful." He Xi walked behind her, looked at her in the mirror, and said very seriously.

Mingmei turned around and said with a hint of doubt: "Really?"

"Really." He Xi said seriously, "The glasses are very ordinary, but they immediately look good on your face."

"Okay." Mingmei pursed her lips and narcissistically admired herself in the mirror. "Since you are so good at talking, I will reluctantly accept these two gifts from you."

After paying at the counter, the two went their separate ways.

He Xi took the bus to Nancheng University Station. He guessed that Mingmei should have recharged her phone bill, so he called Ren Yan.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

There was a steady beeping sound from the other end, but no one answered the phone.

I don't know how long it took, but the emotionless and cold female voice sounded again: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please call again later."

After waiting for a while, He Xi called back again.

However, this time, the system prompt tone became: "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."

He Xi immediately had a bad feeling in her heart. She quickly put her cell phone in her pocket and ran to the unfinished building near the train station as fast as she could.

She rested for a moment in front of the entrance, adjusted her breath, and then walked into the building.

She stood on tiptoe, trying not to make any noise, and kept her ears perked up at all times, listening for any strange noises upstairs.

When stepping onto the DNA spiral staircase, He Xi faintly heard the sound of a man whispering on the second floor. She wanted to hide in the dark to listen to what the other person was saying, but the distance was too far and the voice was not very clear.

He Xi didn't care about so much anymore. She put down her heels and rushed to the second floor in a hurry. After seeing everything in front of her, her eyes suddenly widened.

I saw Ren Yan lying on his cardboard bed, as quiet as death.

A man in a denim jacket stood at the window, his head tilted on his shoulder, talking on the phone, a cigarette pinched between the index and middle fingers of his left hand, and a lighter in his right hand. With a "click", a flame appeared, and a red dot suddenly appeared on the cigarette.

Although he was standing at the window and the light was against him, He Xi could still see his face clearly.

There was not much flesh on his face, a sharp chin, slightly sunken temples, prominent cheekbones, almost no eyebrows, and eyes like jackals...

It was the same Yanhuo who had fired several shots at He Xi in the previous life, absolutely genuine.
