Weird Regulator

On November 18th, a small patch of sunshine fell in the dark sky, but it could not drive away the dark clouds that filled the sky.

Today is the first snow in Shanming City, and it will last for a long time.

At four o'clock, at this early hour, there were no pedestrians at all on Xixiang Road.

The ascetic businessman straightened up his breakfast shop, and the steamed bun steamer flew straight into the sky, melting the snow that had fallen there.

But all the streets and alleys were covered with snow, and the thick snowdrifts obliterated all traces of travelers overnight.

The wiping effect of nature is stronger than everyone expected, and this will last for a long, long time.

"Do we need to be so cautious?"

The trash can on Xixiang Road is far away from the speaker, a whole street away. There are five of them, four men and one woman.

It is impossible for these five people to pay attention to the situation over there, and at the same time, it is impossible for these five people to wait for the person they want to wait for.

The cold that lasted almost half a night had already made Xiao Qianduye's lips turn white from the cold, even though she was already wearing a pure white long down jacket.

Even Yu Xing, who had the best physique, was holding his shoulders and breathing into his palms constantly.

Tongguan stopped staring at the watch hands on his wrist all the time. According to the information, the time when Mu Nianmei found the first handbag was 4:50.

At that time, a retired old lady accidentally saw it while rummaging through the trash can and mistook it for discarded pork.

In other words, if there are no accidents, the time when Ji Li and Fang Shenyan dumped their bodies should be before this, but it is hard to say how far away it is.

Six characters with different expressions were hiding in an alley on Xixiang Road. In front of them was a big tree blocking the intersection.

If you don't look inside carefully, you won't know that there is an alley here, and you won't be able to see the number of people inside.

Tongguan was so cold that he stamped his feet. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he was worried about something unexpected happening.

Although he was confident that this location would never attract the attention of irrelevant people.

"We cannot be present at the scene of the crime, otherwise we will only be regarded as suspects.

Although we are designated reporters by the hotel, we do not necessarily have to show up to call the police in person. We can completely guide others to discover and call the police.

In this case, our mission is also completed. "

Little Qianduye also glanced at her watch anxiously, and it was now ten minutes past four.

She eagerly reached out her right hand to the cochlea, pressed the Bluetooth headset, and asked the man on the other end of the phone:

"Is there any movement?"

The only one on the street that was on the verge of opening was the bun shop, and sitting on an outdoor plastic stool at that bun shop was a man wearing a down jacket and holding hot tea in his hand.

The man had short hair and was sitting calmly on a plastic stool with his back to the street and the trash can that was only a dozen steps away.

He calmly took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and replied quietly:

“Don’t worry, the alarm time is four-fifty.

Since Ji Li and the others have not arrived yet, this means that the time when the body was dumped and the time when it was discovered should be very close. "

The curtain of the steamed buns was suddenly opened, and the male shopkeeper wearing a white apron and a cotton hat quickly picked up the tongs and packed the five small pieces of meat into a plate.

The cotton hat shop owner smiled and came to the short-haired man with a plate: "Little brother, it looks like you worked overtime all night, right? No one has come so early for a long time."

The short-haired man smiled slightly, showing a row of white teeth, and replied politely:

"Yeah, it's not that I'm tired, I just want to take a bite of hot buns."

"It's great to eat in a store. It's better to be warm inside than to be cold outside. Look at your nose being red."

The owner of the cotton hat shop seemed to be a very enthusiastic person. It was rare for a customer to come so early, and for a while, he reconciled and chatted for a few more words.

Xie Zheng was careful, and he knew that once the incident happened, the bun shop owner would be the most direct witness, and he would also be the first target of the police's questioning.

Even after sitting here for so long, it was impossible for him to escape, but he was the only part of the plan that couldn't be left out.

Jie Zheng simply made the lie more rounded. He raised his hand to unbutton his down jacket and said with his arms open:

"I feel very uncomfortable after not sleeping all night. I can get a good night's sleep if I go outside to enjoy the breeze and eat something."

The owner of the cotton hat shop seemed to be about to say a few words, but suddenly there was an impatient knocking sound on the glass in the store.

A middle-aged woman in a red sweater, holding the wooden handle of a kitchen knife, knocked on the window glass ruthlessly and viciously, and harsh words came out:

"You're still talking about something that kills a thousand swords? I'm chopping stuffing here. You can't even look at the pot, and the oil is boiling!"

The cotton hat shopkeeper shrank his head, not even daring to look at Jie Zheng again. He immediately got up and went to the oil pan, apparently about to start frying the dough sticks.

Jie Zheng silently picked up a meat bun with chopsticks and put it to his mouth. He bit into the bun skin and let the hot soup enter his mouth. The tip of his tongue touched the soft meat filling.

He stared through the glass window and saw the proprietress waving her kitchen knife up and down, cutting the scarlet pork into fine pieces, one after another...

Tongguan Hejie Zheng and the others served as the alarm callers at the beginning of this mission. Their first 24-hour mission was very simple.

It is to determine the location of the handbag before all passers-by and complete the alarm.

But Xie Zheng must not call the police himself, otherwise he will face the police directly, and by then he will be passive in subsequent tasks.

Therefore, after several discussions, Tongguan put forward a reasonable proposal to minimize the risk.

That is, Xie was sitting in the bun shop opposite the trash bin, pretending to be diners with his back to the place where the body was dumped, and they could not see Ji Li and Fang Shenyan dumping the body, otherwise it would also violate the first explanation of the mission.

Witnessing the dumping of corpses definitely counts as a violation of knowing the progress of the opponent's mission.

Although this way, Jie Zheng could trade with one of Ji and Fang and be wiped out by the hotel at the same time, but this is undoubtedly an extreme approach that would lead to both death.

So he turned his back to the trash can, and Xie Zheng could still hear the sound of the corpse being dumped. After all, it was a heavy handbag.

Just knowing that the handbag was left is a different way of confirming the place where the body was dumped, and should not be considered a violation.

After that, Xie Zheng, who pretended not to know anything, finished eating the buns, walked to the trash can, opened his handbag, and threw a lit cigarette into the trash can, causing a fire.

Naturally, the bun shop owner can be attracted to it, discover the minced meat in the handbag, and finally call the police.

It can be said that this is a very high-level plan, and it has avoided most of the risks. However, there is a slight risk of exposure in correcting this person, but it is not high.

After all, the owner of the bun shop can attest that the handbag was not thrown away by Jie Zheng.

So Jie Zheng ate the buns very calmly, without worrying about what might happen next. He was also confident that even Ji Li and Fang Shenyan would never guess this plan.

No matter how smart Ji Li is, he is still a human being and cannot make perfect plans.

However, his idea was soon overturned, and it was done without any leeway, which completely confused him.

"Um... you two come here, someone asked me to give you two something, and I put it in the trash can."

Xie Zheng suddenly looked back and saw a strange man standing in the wind and shaking.

He raised his hand with a pale face and pointed at himself and the confused face of the bun shop owner.

At the same time, a black leather handbag was thrown into the trash can in front of Xie Zheng.
