dead innocent

"Did you email me?"

"Yes."

"You sent all three letters?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"I sensed that there was danger, right around me, and someone was watching me."

The young man in front of me is probably the benchmark of a good student. He looks handsome, behaves well, and talks politely. Although he is restrained and quiet, he is not dull. He has dazzling personality labels all over his body. He is a son of a rich family and has a good family education.His father is the general manager of the central enterprise Blue Sky Group, and his mother is a famous lady of the same status.It has to be admitted that there are fundamental differences between children raised in such high-quality and background families and children raised in ordinary families.As big as their behavior and behavior, as small as their every look, these things externalize into an invisible thing called "temperament" that shrouds their bodies, so obvious that people can't face it.Although it is suspected of 'class thinking', this is the truth.

But this Yuan Xu is the most reserved and low-key among the rich second-generation sons that Chu Xingyun has come into contact with over the years, even more so than Yang Kaitai.

It was meal time, so there were a lot of people in KFC, filled with office workers and students who left school at noon.Although there are many people, it is not too noisy. In addition, there is soft piano music playing in the store, covering the conversation of each table under the notes, so that the table sitting by the window looks like the ordinary people around. Diners are no different.

The child next door suddenly started crying, dragging his mother's hand and insisting on going out. The shrill and loud crying was very harsh among a group of qualified white-collar students.Chu Xingyun turned his head and glanced at the pair of mother and child, picked up the plush doll that he had just picked up when he was picking up the meal, and handed it to the child. The child looked at him with tears in his eyes, and Chu Xingyun curled his lips and said with a smile : "Don't cry, I'll give it to you"

The child took the doll carefully, but did not abide by the agreement. He grinned and looked at Chu Xingyun and was about to cry again. Chu Xingyun raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Hush."

Fu Yi: ...

He is familiar with this action. He had the honor to pay homage to the two lucky cats supported by Chu Xingyun. His two Gods of Wealth could not get along, and they always quarreled. Whenever Chu Xingyun was annoyed by their quarrel, he would treat his Cats do this.Strangely, the two demon cats seemed to understand what he meant, and when he 'shushed', they stopped talking.He also used this trick to deal with He Cheng. Once he participated in a secret mission and disappeared for more than a week. After the mission was completed, he returned to the bureau as soon as possible to hand over the work, and was blocked by He Cheng at the door of the office. The two had a quarrel that night... the brothers in the guard were all alarmed.Chu Xingyun was tired and tired and had no desire to fight, but He Cheng was so angry that he never knew how to back down.Chu Xingyun didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he suddenly calmed down and gave him a 'hush', and added a sentence at the end: "Good boy, don't make trouble."

Fu Yi still can't forget He Cheng's expression at that time, from white to blue, and then from green to red, as if his face was covered by a rainbow, he sulked for a long time on the spot.He felt that Chu Xingyun should have regarded He Cheng as his arrogant and arrogant lion cat.

Unexpectedly, he used this trick on the child. This trick is really popular all over the world.

Coaxing the child, Chu Xingyun turned his head and looked at Yuan Xu who was sitting opposite him, and said without any connection: "Someone is watching you? Where is it? Is it your home?"

"Beside me, anywhere, I can feel a pair of eyes watching me. Whether I am at home or at school, awake or sleeping, it is always watching me, monitoring my every move, I Can feel him, I can even hear it, it says, it wants to kill me!"

Chu Xingyun frowned deeper and deeper. If it wasn't for the young man opposite him trembling and pale, he didn't seem to be pretending to be frightened, he would definitely listen to these words as sleep talk, but from Yuan Xu's mouth Saying it, it has a little more unusual meaning.It is undeniable that he had a deep and intimate connection with the three deceased.

Yuan Xu raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "You don't believe me, do you? I knew it. You wouldn't believe me."

Seeing his helpless appearance, Chu Xingyun felt irritated inexplicably. It seemed that the clearer clues were disturbed by these "ghost eyes". He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the environment did not allow it, so he took a deep breath He took a deep breath, then spit it out, smiled and said, "You don't even make it clear, how can I believe you?"

As he spoke, he put his hands on the table, tapped his fingertips on the table silently, and looked at the boy opposite him: "From now on, what do I ask, what do you say, is it clear?"

"clear."

Chu Xingyun: "What is your relationship with Wang Mingyuan, Xue Minhao, and Cheng Xun?"

Yuan Xu: "Friend, we are friends."

Chu Xingyun: "How is the relationship?"

Yuan Xu: "...very good"

Chu Xingyun stared at his face: "Are you hesitating? Not sure about your answer? Or is your relationship not good?"

Yuan Xu looked away as if his eyes were pierced by a strong light: "No, we were not assigned to the same class in high school, and the relationship between them is not as good as before. I don't remember clearly. Sorry, I'm a little nervous. "

He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, wrapping the cup in his hands as if warming himself.

Chu Xingyun looked at him for a long time before continuing: "Who informed you that Cheng Xun was buried today."

This question seems to have caught Yuan Xu's attention, causing him to fall into reminiscence, then he raised his head and said doubtfully, "It's spread all over the campus."

"Do you often go to the cemetery?"

"No, today is the first time."

"Your two friends have been dead for so long, and you haven't visited them?"

Yuan Xu shook his head and said, "No."

Chu Xingyun looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then suddenly leaned forward, with one hand on the table and the other grasping the edge of the table, his body language became extremely intrusive: "Do you think it is the eyes that are watching you?" Master, did you kill them?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xu's reaction after hearing his words was very calm, at least he looked calm, but his face became more and more ugly, he changed his dodgy eyes before, and looked at Chu Xingyun for the first time.

The darker a person is, the harder he will try to see clearly.Chu Xingyun stared at his dark and peaceful eyes, as if looking for something in the silent night, he could sense the secret hidden in this young man, a secret that he might have forgotten even himself.

Yuan Xu suddenly lowered his head and gasped for breath. A thin layer of sweat oozed out from his forehead at some point, and he seemed to be having difficulty breathing. He dragged his schoolbag and looked for something in a panic.

Chu Xingyun frowned, and was inexplicably nervous: "Are you asthmatic?"

Yuan Xu opened his mouth wide and breathed hard as if someone was choking his neck. He took out the medicine bottle from his schoolbag but couldn't open it smoothly because his hands trembled.

Chu Xingyun stood up suddenly, reached out and snatched the medicine bottle from him and unscrewed the cap, then handed him a bottle of mineral water that he carried with him, and watched him swallow a few pills with the water.

Yuan Xu gradually regained his composure, and returned the water bottle to Chu Xingyun: "Thank you." After a pause, he said: "No, I suffer from congenital psychomotor epilepsy."

Chu Xingyun leaned back on the back of the chair, suddenly became a lot lower, and said, "Go back to school first, and I will send someone to protect you."

Yuan Xu wanted to say something, but Chu Xingyun's passive sabotage was obvious, and it was not easy to stay, so he thanked him and left.

Fu Yi sent Yuan Xu out of the KFC store, and when he came back, he saw that Chu Xingyun had returned to normal and was eating hamburgers.

"Why didn't you ask clearly and let him go."

Fu also asked.

"I can't ask anything. Look at his appearance just now. He was confused and confused. He only said that someone wanted to harm him, but he couldn't even tell who it was. His three friends and his background are very different. If The four of them are really being targeted by others. Only one of them has a political background, which can basically rule out the revenge of the previous generation. Now we can only conclude that the deaths of Wang Mingyuan, Xue Minhao and Cheng Xun were not innocent, just like Yuan Xu It is said that there is a person hiding in the dark to 'monitor' and 'wait' for their death. This person can only hide around the four of them. Tomorrow you take someone to visit the attached middle school and focus on investigating Cheng Xun. The school is a small social field, where every student will reveal his multi-faceted nature, although he sent me an email, he didn’t trust me.”

Fu Yi: "Didn't Wang Mingyuan jump off the building? How can you be sure that he didn't commit suicide?"

Chu Xingyun took out his mobile phone to find a photo and put it in front of him: "Look at the distance between the dead body and the vertical line of the balcony, it is basically zero, which means that the dead body fell straight from the balcony without momentum, don't you think it is more like throwing the dead Throw it from upstairs?"

Fu Yi zoomed in on the photo and looked carefully, and found that the distance between the corpse and the balcony where he jumped off was indeed only a few centimeters. Although Chu Xingyun's judgment lacked scientific basis, he did integrate into the objective analysis of the scene, adding With his many years of experience in criminal investigation and being on so many scenes, he rarely makes mistakes in his judgment.

Fu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to the Transportation Bureau in the afternoon to hand over the video slot. Generally speaking, the video will be kept for five years, and the data from three years ago should still be there."

After Chu Xingyun finished eating the hamburger, he took out a tissue and wiped his hands slowly: "Sanyang ran to the Ark Building and asked He Cheng to get the surveillance video of the Pearl Tower."

After he said it, the two men remembered that the lake where Cheng Xun died and the surrounding bamboo forest were in a very regular rectangle, and a whole rectangle of sky was exposed above. If you look down from the top of the 30-meter-high Pearl Tower, the The crime scene surrounded by greenery will be unobstructed.

Seeing that the unsolved case suddenly opened up a small path, Yang Kaitai's admiration for Chu Xingyun rose again.In order to express his admiration, Yang Kaitai pushed a cup of Coke that he hadn't drunk to Chu Xingyun, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Captain, you are amazing."

Chu Xingyun glanced at himself from top to bottom, and asked from the bottom of his heart: "How do you know?"

Yang Kaitai: "...I went to the Ark Building."

Chu Xingyun pressed his shoulders and stood up, raised his chin towards a pile of fast food on the table: "What's the rush, go after eating, eat more, grow your body."

After speaking, I went to the front desk to swipe my card, then opened the door and walked out of the store.

Yang Kaitai watched Chu Xingyun pass by the sidewalk through the glass wall, took out his mobile phone and called someone.

"Captain Fu, what happened to the captain just now?"

Fu Yi took a French fries and stirred them in the ketchup. His eyes fell silent for a while, and he gave an ambiguous answer: "He Cheng."

Yang Kaitai was at a loss. Of course he knew who He Cheng was. His father, Director Yang, had arranged for him to have dinners with several high-ranking officials, among whom He Cheng was often present, so he had met He Cheng a few times. An acquaintance who has spoken a few words.He also knows that Chu Xingyun has a great relationship with the He family, and he still doesn't know what the relationship is. His father hesitated to explain, so he has no way of knowing.

"What happened to He Cheng?"

Fu Yi threw the French fries on the plate, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, sighed, and said, "It's what children like to eat."

Yang Kaitai looked at him and said, "Captain Fu."

Fu Yi looked up at him, smiled, and asked, "Don't you know?"

"The relationship between Team Chu and He Cheng? I know, they have known each other since childhood."

Fu Yi nodded and said, "Then you haven't heard of the 'New Year's Eve Kidnapping Case' 12 years ago?"

Yang Kaitai: "No, who was kidnapped?"

Fu Yi suddenly picked up the French fries thrown on the plate, took a bite, and said, "He Cheng."

Yang Kaitai was speechless for a while because of shock, and just looked at him in a daze.

Fu Yi glanced at him and continued: "His elder brother He Ying and Chu Xingyun were kidnapped together with He Cheng, but only Chu Xingyun and He Ying escaped."

"Then, what about He Cheng?"

"Being left behind."

Yang Kaitai noticed that he said "being left behind" instead of "not escaping", that is, he was left behind when he had a chance to escape, by whom?Could it be that--

Yang Kaitai is very smart and able to focus on the key points. He immediately dug out the key figures who were hidden between the lines by Fu Yi, and asked in disbelief: "Have you been left behind by Team Chu?"

Fu Yi furrowed his eyebrows, looking a bit embarrassed, as if he regretted what he should have said just now, but his hesitant attitude had already given Yang Kaitai a definite answer.

Yang Kaitai was shocked, and felt that his three views had been subverted. In his heart, Chu Xingyun was righteous and brave, and his coquettishness exploded.How could he 'abandon' He Cheng who grew up with him, he said firmly: "This is impossible!"

Fu Yi dragged his chin and opened his eyelids to look at him, lowered his eyes and smiled again, brought the plate of French fries in front of him, and said, "Do you know how old He Cheng was when he was kidnapped? 11 years old, Chu Xing Yun is four years older than him, and only fifteen years old. They are both children and victims. If you use Chu Xingyun in your eyes now to ask him to make the choices he made in his youth when he was close to death, he must reach the height of your heart. Isn't it a bit unfair? He chose to take He Ying away and keep He Cheng, which is not fair to He Cheng, but from another perspective, who is he to take away is fair? The choice he faces is inherently unfair. "

Yang Kaitai looked at the french fries with ketchup on the plate, he couldn't swallow it, and his mouth even felt bitter, but he still picked up the french fries that Fu Yi touched just now, didn't eat, just looked at: "In the end, He Cheng, how did you escape?"

"After more than a year, he was rescued by the police."

"The person who kidnapped them was—"

Fu Yi suddenly squinted his eyes slightly and gave him a 'hush', dragged his chin and smiled slowly: "Don't ask so much, this case has been banned, and the case record can't be found. Like them, of course, Including you, the information of people like them is hidden and disclosed to the outside world, do you understand?"

Whenever Fu Yi smiled at him, Yang Kaitai felt like a spring breeze. This spring breeze quickly blew away the doubts in his heart, pried open a small hole in his heart, and poured it all in, making him warm all over and dazzled. Lost for a while.

He hastily responded "Understood." Then he lowered his head and took a bite of French fries. The moment the sweet and sour ketchup touched his tongue made him startled, subconsciously looked up at Fu Yi as if he had been caught dirty, Fu Yi turned his head to one side as if he had been prepared, looked out the window, his gaze passed his eyes perfectly, and said: "By the way, don't mention this matter in front of Chu Xingyun, this is his heart disease."
