One day at dusk, half a month after the "July 13" case was solved, Gu Xiaobei quietly appeared at the D City train station alone. He put on a navy blue T-shirt, and a pair of light gray summer sandals, carrying a half-new tan suitcase in his hand, how to look, not look like a senior white collar of the import and export trading company in C city.

Gu Xiaobei wants this effect, he wants to hide, and hide in the sea of people, so that the Yu boss is at a loss, even if he has a hound's nose, he will not be able to smell a trace of his movements.

His vacation is secret. No one knew about it except the company's president. Even the boss only knew that he was on vacation and did not know the destination.

When he arrived at the auspicious hotel, he couldn't make out the faces of the people on a titillating night. He looked around to make sure no one was following him before he walked in.

The hotel smelled damp and musty as if a huge towel of fermented sweat from countless people had been hung, and the words "At Home" had become unrecognizable as the walls peeled off the powder. When he said he wanted a single room, a woman with a chicken's nest head said, there is one on the fifth floor, if you do not mind going. When paying the deposit, the chicken-headed woman held the money up to her eyes and looked at it repeatedly, and then rubbed her hand for a while before throwing the key out.

There are three houses on the fifth floor, in addition to a single room, and two are miscellaneous rooms. Opening the room, Gu Xiaobei was choked by a pungent musty smell. He wanted to open the window to get some air, but found that the window hinges were broken, and the window was also somewhat deformed, so he pushed hard and "clattered", and the horizontal wood of the window frame fell off one, making a tinkling sound downstairs. Despite the foul air, Gu Xiaobei sleeps well at night. Since receiving the threatening letter, it was the first time he slept so soundly.

If not for that letter, he would have planned to take a vacation in two years. At that time, his daughter Gu Xiaofei has completed the college entrance exams, just so we can go out together to see the world. However, the threatening letter from Boss Yu made the leave urgent. Half a month ago, that is, after the arrest of the three suspects in the "July 13" case in C City, Gu Xiaobei went to work as usual and saw the letter as soon as he entered the door. The letter was tucked in from the bottom of the door. It was a light brown kraft paper envelope, no addressee, and the letter, opened inside is a printed note paper. The content of the letter is very simple: meddle in the wrong business, and you have to pay the price. Below are three kill words, the word kill trailed by three large exclamation points, like three sharp daggers, addressed to Yu's boss. After reading the letter, Gu Xiaobei felt like his spine had been jolted by ice water, cold sweat emerged swiftly.

The name Yu Boss has become a household name in C City because of the "July 13" case. With the majority of this murderous gang caught, only the leader of the Yu boss has become a fish out of waterthat until that morning, he was ready to go to work and was stopped by two police officers to know that something happened. The report is the deceased's classmates, they had arranged to go to the picnic at eight o'clock in the morning, the classmates are very punctual, eight o'clock on the arrival, see the BMW parked downstairs and went upstairs to knock on the door. Knocked for a long time did not open, the boy felt wrong, someone to open the door, a door will smell a bloody smell, open the bedroom door, found two people dead in bed, the body is simply covered with a towel quilt, their faces white, as if the blood is drained. The student ran out with a cry of "Oh my God" shivered and called the police.

When the police arrived at the scene, they saw that the boy's right hand was clenched tightly, as if clutching a life-saving straw. When you break the hand, it is a remote control. In addition to a few messy footprints, the criminals did not leave any valuable clues to solve the case.
