Silver Snow Line [Criminal Investigation]

Lu Shaohui counted the number of CDs, found the one from the 3rd of last month and pushed it into the computer.

An overhead shot of Huang Xuyao's bedroom was projected onto the screen. Xue Kai, dressed in black, sat upright beside the bed, looking at the sleeping girl.
Gan Tian rubbed her head and sat up from the bed. She didn't notice him at first, but when she came to her senses, she also recognized the person in front of her.

Her name is... Xue Kai, and she is the roommate of her boyfriend Qin Jiashu. She would meet him every day when she went to the cafeteria with Qin Jiashu to eat. Boys don't talk much, and can be said to be shy, so Qin Jiashu would not deliberately take her to greet him. Sometimes he sat diagonally across the table from them, and sometimes he sat across the table from her. She and Qin Jiashu were used to sitting on the same side, and every time she looked up, she could always see Xue Kai's figure, which was not a coincidence.

"Why are you here? Where is Yaoyao?" She judged that this man had no ill intentions and asked with forced calmness.
Xue Kai's face showed a hint of joy, and he smiled at her with his dark blue lips: "Do you remember me?"
Gan Tian was frightened by his smile: "You are Ashu's roommate."
Xue Kai's face turned ugly again, and he looked a little fierce when he was expressionless. Gan Tian looked at the closed door with a wandering look, and asked about Huang Xuyao's whereabouts again, but Xue Kai unexpectedly reached into her quilt. Gan Tian screamed and pushed him away: "What are you doing!"
"Your menstrual period has arrived," Xue Kai said calmly, "I bought you a sanitary napkin."

Gan Tian looked at his feet, and there was indeed a white plastic bag there. But these words coming from his mouth made her feel very uncomfortable. She closed her legs and whispered a thank you. After waiting for a while, he did not move, so she pleaded in a low voice: "I want to go to the toilet, can you, can you move aside?"

Xue Kai just stood up and motioned her to go out. Gan Tian still had Huang Xuyao's coat wrapped around her waist, which was a mess. Fortunately, she still had this coat, which was the only thing that could cover the mess under her body. She walked out the door, looked back vigilantly, and found that Xue Kai had followed her.

The figures of the two disappeared in the bedroom, and a low voice-over was heard unclearly. No one wanted to think about what happened on the other side of the wall. In short, after more than ten minutes of struggling and shouting, Gan Tian changed her blood-stained clothes and was taken back to the bedroom.

She now knew that she was imprisoned and the man in front of her was the criminal, so she had to find a way to save herself.

Xue Kai had classes in the afternoon and went back to school. Gan Tian took the opportunity to find a way to survive, but the doors and windows were locked. She shouted and knocked on the wall desperately, but she couldn't get a response from the neighbors. Later in the evening, Xue Kai came back with wounds all over his face, but he actually brought her favorite bread. She realized that he might have planned this for a long time, and he probably had evil thoughts a long time ago, and her heart was cold again. She couldn't help but wonder where his injuries came from. Did Ashu find out that she was missing and suspected him? Then would she be rescued soon? She must save her energy and live well, waiting for the day of rescue.

Gan Tian ate the bread and said he wanted to sleep.
Upon hearing this, Xue Kai took off his shoes and lay down beside her.
Gan Tian suppressed the nausea in her heart and did not resist. She knew that it would not be good for her to anger a man.

The first five days passed peacefully. During this period, Xue Kai would always be with her no matter what she did, and never avoided her private affairs, which gradually broke her self-esteem. But apart from that, he didn't do anything to her, as if he just wanted to get along with her.

She didn't know what Xue Kai was thinking at this moment: They were like a couple. During the day he went out to work, she stayed at home to do the housework, and when he came back at night, they could still sleep in the same bed. It was so beautiful, and it would be even better if it could be like this forever. She was a holy and untouchable moon, and he was satisfied just by looking at her every day.

His strange tenderness made Gan Tian unbearable, and she asked him: "Do you like me?"
Xue Kai turned over and looked at her: "Yes, I like you very much."
"Even if you like me, this isn't right," she tried to reason with him.
Xue Kai was silent for a while, and whispered: "But apart from this, I can't think of any other way to get close to you. You are nice to everyone, even a dirty wild cat can get your smile, but you never look at me more than once. Do you know how much I want to be with you? I have waited for this day for too long..."
He leaned over to smell her long hair, which smelled of the shampoo he had carefully selected for her.

Gan Tian saw that his sparse eyebrows were messy and his eyes seemed to be pressed into a crooked line. The thick pores on the tip of his nose were filled with black oil particles. The breath he exhaled was unbearable for her, and his thick, dark lips were pressed against her proud black hair.

Gan Tian turned her head away abruptly and said angrily, "I already have a boyfriend!"
Xue Kai said nothing.
"Aren't you on good terms with Shu? What do you mean by doing this now?!"
"I know, he is a good match for you." Xue Kai thought for a moment and said, "He is qualified to be with you."
Gan Tian frowned: "What are you talking about?"
"Qin Jiashu is very good to me and his character is beyond reproach. It is precisely because he is my good brother that I can accept him being with you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be able to accept him being with you. Fortunately, it's not someone else, otherwise I would punish him."
Gan Tian sensed something unusual in his words and asked tentatively, "Did you know me before I was with him?"
"I saw you on the first day of freshman year."

Xue Kai said that he was carrying several sacks and climbing a steep slope to enter the school gate in a very awkward manner. He was bumped by the crowd, and pots and pans fell to the ground, causing laughter from people around him. He heard someone snickering and saying that he didn't know where the bumpkin came from to bring these things to school. The things rolled down the slope, and he couldn't pick them up because he was carrying bedding on his back. No one stood up to help him. At the moment of embarrassment, Gan Tian rescued him.

"Are you coming from another province as well? It must be very inconvenient to carry so many things along the way. Let me help you."

The girl's clear voice rang in his ears. Xue Kai only felt that the weather was too hot and he was sweating too much, otherwise how could he not even see her face clearly. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with all his strength, and a scented tissue was handed to him. He finally saw her face, which was a bright smile that he had never seen in his life.

It was so dazzling. So from then on, he only dared to look at her secretly. "You know this is a small thing, right? And I have forgotten it a long time ago. Even if you say it now, I have no impression of it at all." Gan Tian thought it was ridiculous. Even if he was lying to her, he shouldn't have used such an old-fashioned reason.
Xue Kai shook his head seriously: "I haven't forgotten. You were...you were smiling at me. Every time I pass by there, I can think of this day. I can't forget it."
He tried to put his arm around her shoulders and pleaded softly, "I have money now. I have a lot of money, all for you. Can you be with me? Let's be together forever!"
"I don't want your money!" Gan Tian shrank back in fear and quickly slapped his hand away.

Xue Kai groaned in pain.
Gan Tian had already sat up, scolding him with shame and anger: "Are you sick? What does it have to do with me if you like me? Why should I be with you? You...you are simply disgusting!"
Xue Kai sat there in a daze, repeating like a machine: "I like you, I like you, I like you..."
"I don't like you!" Gan Tian was frightened by him and almost collapsed. "The person I like is Qin Jiashu, and I will only be with him. Let me out and don't touch me! Help, help! Ah Shu... ugh!"
"Shut up!" Xue Kai held her tightly under him, covering the lower half of her face. "Don't call him by his name again!"
"Ah Shu Ah Shu Ah Shu, I'm going to yell! Not only am I with him now, but we'll get married and have babies in the future. It's not up to you to agree or not. Who do you think you are..."

"Have you slept with him?" Xue Kai suddenly raised his voice.
Gan Tian was stunned by his hideous face.
Xue Kai suddenly became a different person, no longer gentle, and almost ruthlessly grabbed her neck and asked: "I asked you if you slept with him, speak!"
Unable to wait for her to answer in person, he tore off her clothes like a madman, torturing her and scolding her for being shameless. He had not turned against her for so many days, but just because of this incident, because he felt that the "holy" goddess in his heart had lost her virginity, he began to punish her cruelly.
"You're really not a virgin anymore?
"How can you be so shameless!
"Shameless bitch...you betrayed me, you owe me so much!"

Originally, he felt that he was not worthy of defiling her. He did not want to do anything too extreme to her. He hoped that one day she would fall in love with him and accept him willingly. She was his goddess... But now, she deserved it and did not deserve his sincerity.

Sweet's menstrual period has basically ended, but he has to wait until the red blood flows out of her body before he feels satisfied, as if only this touch of red can soothe his "betrayed" heart.

Xue Kai contentedly embraced Gan Tian who had long been unconscious and fell asleep. He found that after this night, Gan Tian became obedient. It was true that women were like this. After Qin Jiashu slept with her, she was devoted to him. Now that he had slept with her, she should know that he was her support. If he had known earlier, he would not have to endure for so long. He would have made her his own earlier, and it would not have been Qin Jiashu's turn to be her boyfriend.
However, he could forgive all the things that had happened because he loved her very much and was willing to tolerate her mistakes. He could even accept the fact that she was not a virgin.
Xue Kai whispered in her ear: "Just follow me faithfully from now on, I won't pursue anything. Qin Jiashu is my good brother, it's okay for him, it's okay, go to sleep, I love you, my love for you will not decrease because of this."

Xue Kai was very proud of Gan Tian's obedience, and he did whatever he wanted in the next few days. This comfort made him forget everything else, and he basically agreed to any request Gan Tian made.
One day, Gan Tian said she wanted to eat some fruit. She wanted to eat the cantaloupe that was freshly cut at the school fruit shop and asked him to buy some for her to take home. Xue Kai readily agreed and immediately went out to buy it for her. He even forgot that the shop would equip the fruit boxes with stainless steel forks, so he opened the package himself and handed the fork to her.

That night he fell asleep contentedly as usual, but woke up in the middle of the night wrapped in wet sheets. Gan Tian's body, which had already gone cold, was lying quietly beside him.

The sudden beam of light was extremely dazzling. He wiped away the tears from his eyes and stared at her in a trance for a long time before he cried out miserably.
After venting his anger, he knelt blankly beside her body, his expression changing from anger to confusion, and then hatred flashed across his face. He slapped Gan Tian's pale face hard, and humiliated her body in revenge. Finally, he calmed down, dragged the body out, and came back to clean up the bloodstained sheets and quilts.

In the voice-over, one could hear the sound of him chopping limbs and bones in the next room. The recording time was from early morning to the middle of the moon. The sound of the CD turning in the computer suddenly stopped, and no one spoke in the conference room for a long time.

At this time, ten days had passed since Gan Tian was imprisoned. In the days that followed, Xue Kai changed his camp and returned to his own house with the remaining limbs. During the day, he repeatedly watched the images, printed out the satisfied expressions of Gan Tian frame by frame and pasted them on the wall, and vented again at night. He bought a lot of expensive cosmetics to decorate her beautiful face after losing blood, and muttered to her. The limbs began to rot and stink. He realized that if he let the smell spread, it would sooner or later arouse other people's suspicion, so he dragged the refrigerator to the bedside and tried every means to delay the rotting of the limbs.
day after day.
He kept saying "I love you" to the pile of rotten meat.

"People... cough." Lu Shaohui's voice broke when he spoke, and he coughed a few times before he finished speaking. "We have all the evidence, and the most urgent thing is to arrest this beast as soon as possible."
"The farmer and the snake shouldn't be played like this. Is this guy really sick?" Lu Zhiheng almost wanted to dig his eyes out. "I really want to vomit now. He is ugly and has a vicious heart. He deserves that no one likes him."
Xi Ming asked anxiously, "Hasn't his whereabouts been discovered yet?"
Lu Shaohui shook his head in embarrassment: "I don't know where he ran off to. Logically, a living person would definitely leave traces of his movements as long as he is still running away."
Xie Qingfei asked: "Is there any place he often goes to?"
Lv Shaohui: "Really, there is no other place. The school, convenience store, rental house, and several other places are close to each other. He doesn't even need to take public transportation."

Xi Ming was so angry that he tore up the photo of Xue Kai on the whiteboard and said angrily, "This pervert, it wouldn't be a pity if he died a hundred times!"

As a result, Xi Ming's words turned out to be true.

Three days later, the call center received a call from Sungke University, saying that gardeners had found a buried male body in the woods next to the school's main entrance. He was wearing ill-fitting women's clothing and was curled up with his hands on his heart, holding a photo tightly in his hands.
On the front is a girl's bright smiling face, and on the back are three words written in clumsy handwriting: I love you.
