    Okay, the cold atmosphere of this criminal investigation dialogue needs to be continued. Ning Yi's discovery and Cao Bin's reaction are the key: --- "Damn, is this murderer sick? I've never seen such a bloody person slashing out a person's eyes!" Cao Bin rubbed his arms, trying to dispel the chill that shot up from his spine. The horrors of the first two victims were still fresh in his mind, but this third one's... Technique was almost like he was perfecting some gruesome craft. Ning Yi did not immediately respond to Cao Bin's foul language. He was using his fingertips wearing thin rubber gloves to carefully pick up the two glass beads that he had taken out of the victim's empty eye sockets. The beads were small, round and cold, and reflected a strange luster under the dim light of the morgue. They were exactly the same as those found in the two previous cases. "The technique is indeed more streamlined." Ning Yi's voice was calm, as if he was stating an objective fact, but the calmness itself made people even more nervous. He picked up one of the glass beads with tweezers and looked closely at the light source. "The edges of the incision are smooth, the disconnection points of nerves and blood vessels are precise, and the action of peeling off the eyeball tissue... There is almost no unnecessary damage. This is not the first time, nor is it a random cutting out of anger, more like..." He paused, as if looking for the most appropriate description, "... A most precise extraction**." "Picking?" Cao Bin's voice rose a notch higher, with a sense of incredible absurdity, "What does he think this is? Fruit picking? These are fucking human eyeballs!" He grabbed his hair irritably and pointed at the cold corpse on the autopsy table, "An embroiderer, a violinist, and now a lampmaker! These three unrelated people, all their eyes were lost because of these bullshit glass beads..." He couldn't go on, and felt his stomach churning. Ning Yi's eyes moved away from the glass beads and fell on the victim. He was a middle-aged man, his face was gray and stiff due to blood loss and death, but he could vaguely see that he was a craftsman before he was born. His knuckles were thick and his palms were thickly calloused. He was wearing coarse cloth stained with oil, and there was a small piece of corduroy thread that had not been cleaned hanging from the corner of his clothes. "It's irrelevant?" Ning Yi frowned slightly, his eyes slowly swept over the victim's rough hands, and finally settled on his empty eye sockets. "Perhaps there is some commonality in their ability to 'see' that we haven't discovered yet?" He put down the tweezers and placed two blood-stained glass beads side by side in the white evidence tray. The cold glass reflected the pale light, like two drops of solidified blood and tears, and like a sacrifice in some evil ritual, silently mocking the incompetence of the living. "Check," Ning Yi's voice deepened, with an unmistakable coldness, "Check the eyes of these three people. In the eyes of the murderer, did they 'see' something they shouldn't have seen, or... What should they have seen." He took one last look at the pair of glazed "eyeballs" in the tray, and a sharp, cold light flashed across his deep eyes.

The cold air creeps up along the soles of my feet. The street lights outside the car window dimmed the pale halo in the fog, like prying eyes. The car is driving faster and faster. The familiar street scene outside the window began to become distorted and unfamiliar. In the darkness, there was only the monotonous roar of the engine and the slow rubbing of the rosary beads in the old lady's hand, which made people's scalp numb. The driver remained silent, his back stiff. Suddenly, a sharp turn! I grabbed the armrest so hard that my heart nearly jumped out of my throat. At this moment, a cold and withered hand touched my shoulder. "Young man..." A hoarse voice came from behind. I turned around stiffly - it was the old lady in the shroud! Her cloudy eyes were staring straight at me, and the corner of her mouth grinned in an inhuman arc: "... The next stop is here." The car lights suddenly went out! The screeching sound of brakes tore through the dead silence! In the darkness, I heard my own heavy breathing, and... There was a rustling sound around me, like scraps of paper.
