Reasoning where Alice was killed

"Didn't you tell me yesterday that there would be heavy fog today? I was too tired at the time, so I didn't think much about it. When I go out today, I see the gray mist and I realize it immediately.

Alex and Dong probably guessed that we were watching them. No matter what they wanted to do, it was under our eyes. They are both very cautious, so they wouldn't do anything stupid.

And today's heavy fog could give them an opportunity. Now that visibility is so low, it's a good time for them to get rid of the other."

After saying that, Chen sighs,

"Alas! It's too late to say anything now anyway. I don't think there will be any news from Dong either."

After a while, Chen receives a call. The police officer on the phone tells him that Dong is also not there, which Chen has expected before. He asks the team members to gather near Alex's store. At that time, they would brainstorm and see if they could guess the movements of the two.

After driving to the vicinity of the store and waiting for a while for everyone to arrive, Chen tells everyone his guess as fast as possible. Everyone nods and agrees that his guess is probably correct.

Yang frowns and asks,

"Leader Chen, I have a question that I can't figure out. We have been monitoring the two people all the time, and they have never communicated with each other. How can they be so tacitly connected?"

Chen has not figured out the reason yet.

A police officer next to him says tentatively, "Could it be a tacit understanding between serial killers?"

"This..."

Everyone thinks this reason is very ridiculous, but they also feels it made sense.

Chen waves his hand and says,

"Regardless of whether they have tacit understanding or not, the most important thing for us now is to find the two of them quickly. Think about it, what will they do today?"

Yang thinks and says,

"If our previous ideas are correct, it was Dong who killed Alice before, and the recent disappearance case was also caused by him. Alex discovered something, which made Dong choose to kill to silence him.

I can understand his behavior. It is foggy today, which is a good opportunity. He wants to kill Alex again.

But what about Alex? Why does he leave too? What does he want to do excatly?"

The previous police officer speaks again,

"If both of them are perverted serial killers, Alex may feel that he has been provoked, so he wants to kill Dong."

Chen nods and says,

"Okay, according to your ideas, the two should be going on a hunt, and they regard each other as prey, so where will this hunting place be chosen?"

"This... There are too many places to choose from, I don't know." The police officer says embarrassedly.

Everyone frowns. Yes, as he said, there are too many places. It is so foggy today, any place will do probably. How can they find it?

Chen thinks hard and says unconsciously,

"No, no, no, this place is absolutely not randomly chosen. It must be meaningful to both of them. Hunting, in their minds, this must be a wonderful confrontation. Would they randomly choose a place? That's too hasty, and it's not respectful enough for hunting.

But the two had no intersection before, so theoretically this place would not exist.

However, the performance of the two proves that this place does exist. Where is it?"

Chen's eyes condenses, and he thinks of it carefully. He thinks of this place suddendly,

"The place where the body was dumped!"

Everyone is in confusion, "What?"

"The place where Alice's body was dumped!"

Chen gets a little excited, and he says quickly, "The only intersection between the two is Alice."

"Get in the car! Hurry up! Move!"

After that, Chen gets in the car first and drives directly to the scene of the body dumping. He glances at the time and prays in a low voice,

"I hope it's not too late."

…

Back to six in the morning, Alex got up, packed up and went out. He drove to the door of the fast food restaurant first, then looked up at the nearby surveillance.

He knew that Dong must be waiting for him at the scene where Alice's body was dumped, but he didn't know where this place was exactly. This might be a "test question" given to him by Dong.

"Let me guess."

Alex thought this was very interesting, and he planned to play this game with Dong. He tried to imagine what he would do if he wanted to kill Alice?

"If it were me, I would not choose to have an intersection with Alice here. In this way, through the surveillance footage, the police would definitely suspect me first, which was not good.

And what about Alice? After I left the store, she would choose to continue to follow me to confirm what I was going to do? Did I go home?

In this way, Alice was supposed to be killed on the way home."

Then Alex drove slowly back to the way home. Fortunately, it was foggy today, so it didn't matter if he drove slowly.

Alex stopped at a corner where he saw three taxis parked. This scene made him directly determine that Alice got into Dong's car here.

Because taxi drivers work hard to make money, in order to avoid breaking the law, they must have figured out where they can park illegally and will not be caught by surveillance. Three taxis parked here, which means there is no surveillance here.

Alex looked at the rearview mirror. This place is not far from his store, and it is also close to the fast food restaurant.

"If Alice wanted to continue to follow me, she would definitely take a taxi nearby, because if she was late, she might lose me quickly."

Alex sat in the car and restored the scene at that time. Alice saw him leave and she also left the fast food restaurant. She knew that Alex drove a car, so she needed to take a taxi to catch Alex.

She stood at the door of the fast food restaurant waiting for a car, but found that there was no car passing at all. She was a little anxious, fearing that she would not catch up with Alex.

At this time, she saw a taxi parked at the corner. She didn't think much, let alone think about it. She ran over and got in the car, and this car was Dong's car.

As for why Dong knew, because he observed Alice in advance, he easily found that Alice would take a taxi around six o'clock, so he deliberately stopped here at this time.

Alex thought his speculation was very reasonable.

After Alice got on the car, Dong's plan was successful, and then he would commit the crime.

Even if Alice got on the car, it would not be so easy for Dong to do anything to her, because Alice had been a police officer before. Even if she did not suspect Dong, she would keep very vigilant.

Dong did not know that she had been a police officer, so if he used violent means, it would not be so easy.

But from the attitude of the police towards Dong, it could be seen that they had no evidence pointing to the connection between Dong and Alice, which means that there was no fight between the two.

If the two had a physical conflict, Alex believed that Alice would leave some clues, considering her experience as a police officer.

So how did Dong do it exactly? Did he use some medicine?

Alex was a little uncertain, because he truly didn't know what the cause of Alice's death was.

Alex decided to put aside this uncertainty for the time being, and continued to reason that Alice must have lost her ability to move between the corner and his home.

Because Alice would get off the car near Alex's home, and after getting off the car, it would not be so easy for Dong to take action.

At that time, Dong had two choices. The first was to continue driving with Alice until he found a safe place.

The second was that he would dump the body somewhere on this road.

After figuring this out, Alex started the car and drove slowly along the way home. If it was the first point, Alex would never think of where that place was exactly.

But since Dong did not tell him the exact location, it proved that Dong thought Alex could find it, which means it could only be the second point.

Then Alex roughly knew where the place was. He drove directly to a fork in the road and turned in without hesitation. He knew that Dong was there because this was the only road without surveillance.

While driving, Alex saw a taxi parked on the side of the road. It was Dong's car, then Alex knew that he found the right place.

He parked his car behind Dong's car and got out. He looked around and saw a dilapidated two-story building next to the car. There were similar buildings around it. Not many people lived here, and it was indeed a good place to dump a body.

Alex took out a hammer from the car and pushed open the door of the building next to the car. The house was very dark inside, so he couldn't see clearly. He stood at the door and shouted tentatively,

"Dong, I'm here, why don't you come out to see me now?"
