Chapter 364 The only Commonality

Dongling Road, a residential area with bungalows.

In that shabby little house, Ji Li lay on his side on the kang, with a stove with some sparks outside the window.

On this snowy night, the hotel is not necessarily more comfortable than the earthen house with a kang.

The window covered with transparent plastic sheeting was whistling in the wind, covering the snoring in the room.

It was late at night, and it was already 23 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Gao Yan lay on the single bed and had fallen asleep long ago. He had never slept so peacefully in fifteen years.

There was a satisfied smile on his face, but also a complex expression of fear.

Tomorrow is the last day to end the fifteen-year nightmare.

For Gao Yan, perhaps this sleep is the sweetest and last night.

Gao Yan's heavy shouting is like a lullaby at night. When everyone is exhausted, Ji Li has not fallen asleep yet.

His body is almost wrapped in gauze, and a new piece of gauze is also replaced on his face. He is lying on his side at this time, with his eyes sparkling.

Next to the pillow was a mobile phone screen facing up.

Ji Li watched intently, waiting for the screen to light up.

The second 24-hour task was for the old card clerk to find the fourth handbag and hand it over to the new card clerk.

This job was naturally for Fang Shenyan to complete independently.

As long as he got the important evidence from 2000, the handbag in the Mu Nianmei case, and handed it over to Xiao Qianduye.

Ji Li trusted Fang Shenyan's ability very much, even though they had not communicated for more than ten hours.

Time was running out, with only the last half hour left.

Ji Li's face did not show any urgency. You know, at around seven o'clock in the evening, Mu Nianmei made a big move against the clerk's body.

He still remembered that Fang Shenyan told him yesterday that he was victim No. 1.

Therefore, the time left for Fang Shenyan to complete the task was less than five hours.

Five hours was almost impossible for others, but it was not a problem for Fang Shenyan.

It was just that time was approaching twelve o'clock little by little, and Ji Li frowned.

He was not worried about why the mission had not been completed, but was somewhat dissatisfied with why Fang Shenyan was so slow.

As soon as this thought dissipated, the mobile phone screen, which had been quiet for a long time, finally lit up with a fluorescent light, which was very dazzling in the dark.

Ji Li stretched out his left hand, which was slightly trembling due to excessive weakness, and opened the phone.

But unexpectedly, the person who sent the text message notification was not Fang Shenyan, but Yu Guo.

This was an extremely detailed message, and there were also several photos attached below, which seemed to be carefully collected by Yu Guo at a great time.

"Ji Li, this is Yu Guo.

You asked me to check the two people yesterday. Gao Yan is relatively simple, so I gave it to you in advance.

Now I have found the personal information of the other person, the deceased in the 11.18 case: 'Wang Ruili'.

Wang Ruili, female, born on March 21, 1970, native of Lingjiang City.

In 1988, she enrolled in Shanming Medical University, majoring in forensic medicine, and became the dean of the Law Department of Shanming University of Finance and Economics in 1998.

In 2003, she took the initiative to resign for personal reasons and disappeared.

The family situation is relatively simple. Her parents are out of town and can no longer be contacted. There is no dating experience, let alone marriage history.

From the literal meaning, Wang Ruili is a typical scholar who specializes in academic research, and she was promoted to dean of the department at the age of 28, which shows her strong professionalism.

According to my investigation, she has never known Mu Nianmei. Except that the two are teachers and students in different departments in the same school, there is no connection."

Ji Li asked Yu Guo to investigate this information yesterday.

After a day, apart from trivial information, what was left was probably relatively sound.

At the end of the text message, there were three photos of Wang Ruili.

The first one was an old photo of her in a bachelor's gown, when she was younger;

The second one should be a photo of her when she was already working, wearing a professional suit;

The last one was a new photo under surveillance, which was not very clear.

Ji Li's face was a little pale under the screen, and the photo of the dead woman in the phone was glowing in the dark, and her dark eyes were also looking at Ji Li.

Wang Ruili's appearance was very mediocre, and it was also a typical appearance of a woman in the Hujiang area, with a soft frame and a plain appearance.

The photo in the bachelor's gown was obviously a photo of her when she was studying. At that time, it could be seen that Wang Ruili's eyes had a dull light.

This does not mean that this woman is not smart enough. On the contrary, her wisdom has been immersed in academics and does not need to be used in photos and life.

In the first photo, Wang Ruili has short hair without even a hairpin, and is holding a professional book in her hand. Compared with the girls of the same grade who love beauty, she looks much simpler.

In the second photo, she looks much more dignified and beautiful after she started working. Her hair has changed from short to long. She is standing on the balcony of the school in a black business suit, overlooking the playground, and seems to be much more cheerful.

The third photo is a screenshot of the surveillance footage taken not long before Wang Ruili was killed. This is a scene of shopping in a supermarket.

Wang Ruili has regained her short hair and is wearing very strange clothes. She is pushing a shopping cart, but it is empty.

She is wearing a cotton jacket and a scarf on her upper body, but a pair of loose shorts and summer sandals on her lower body.

In the picture, her upper body is leaning on the handle of the shopping cart, standing next to the shelf and looking towards the aisle.

I don’t know if she is looking at the goods or something else.

Wang Ruili, the deceased in the 11.18 case, is such a person, and looks very simple.

However, Ji Li figured out many abnormalities.

For example: Wang Ruili, whose ancestral home is Lingjiang, served as the dean of the department at the age of 28, which shows that she is very good in academics. But if she is so good, why did she give up her position in the school and go to a financial university with extremely unprofessional professionalism?

Don’t answer "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a snake". Ji Li believes that a person who has to hold a professional book in his hand to study in the graduation photo will not do so.

For example: Why did Wang Ruili change her hairstyle again and again? Three photos were changed three times. This is definitely not normal, especially for such a person.

Ji Li edited his guess into a text message and sent it to Yu Guo.

Yu Guo replied after a while, and the content was very simple: "Then how do you think all this should be explained?"

Ji Li fell into a long silence, and the screen of the mobile phone gradually turned off automatically and returned to darkness.

Then it lit up again. At 11:57, a text message came from Fang Shenyan.

"The fourth handbag mission has been completed, but there are unexpected variables.

I didn't kill Gao Hongqian before just to give him the handbag, and then I killed Gao Hongqian after midnight, snatched the handbag back, and prevented the Xinka clerk from completing the mission.

But two accidents occurred.

First, Gao Hongqian was completely out of touch, and I looked for him for a long time without any results.

Second, I couldn't harm Xiao Qian Duye, and I owed her a favor, which I had to pay back.

So, I gave the fourth handbag to Xiao Qian Duye."

Fang Shenyan rarely gave an explanation.

In fact, Ji Li didn't care about the fourth handbag, nor did he care whether the Xinka clerk could complete the mission.

However, from Fang Shenyan's attitude towards Xiao Qian Duye, Ji Li seemed to have found a direction.

He immediately turned on his mobile phone and sent a text message to Yu Guo, answering the question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Look carefully at Wang Ruili's style. The first and third photos show her with short hair, holding a book and wearing slippers, which means she never pays attention to her appearance.

Only in the second photo, when Wang Ruili was working, she changed her hairstyle and even wore an earring under her left ear.

Why would a woman, a simple and frugal woman who never cares about her appearance, change like this?"

"Could it be that... Wang Ruili fell in love while teaching?!"

"So, Wang Ruili and Mu Nianmei actually have one thing in common, that is, they both have an unknown underground love affair in Shanming University of Finance and Economics!"
