dead innocent

Building A, No. 3000 was originally the French embassy at the end of the Republic of China. After the French withdrew from China, the embassy was transformed into a residence for important state leaders.When He Cheng was a child, his grandfather He Zhizhang was the head of the municipal government.At the beginning, He Zhizhang led a group of leaders to build Yinjiang City from a small town with few names into a first-line prosperous metropolis with a population of more than [-] million, leading Yinjiang City to the forefront of "reform and opening up", becoming a Nationally known garden coastal city.

He Cheng lived in the embassy for many years. Later, Mr. He squeezed into the ranks of national leaders and moved to live in the capital with his family.But He Cheng didn't leave, he had to stay in Yinjiang life and death.His father whipped him with a horsewhip and he didn't leave. His father had no choice but to leave him a nanny, a Xiao Shu, and an empty house, and he left.

In the past two years, Mr. He lived in seclusion on the second line after his meritorious deeds were completed, and he returned to the "Embassy" at No. [-], Building A, Heping Avenue.The He family's achievements in politics are not only He Junhai, but also He Ying, who are He Cheng's father and brother.He Cheng's father, He Junhai, joined the army in his early years and is now the commander-in-chief of the navy.He Cheng's eldest brother, He Yingqing, was born in the blue. After graduating from university, he has been in the official career until now, and has become the secretary-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country.And He Cheng is not very interested in politics. He started business and took over Swan City Hotel Group Co., Ltd. with the support of his parents. Now it is an internationally renowned hotel chain group.It has acquired hundreds of hotels at home and abroad, and the business development is also booming. The old He family's political and business circles have become a legend in Yinjiang City.

Nearly half of the wealthy people in Yinjiang City live in the villa area next to Heping Avenue.

A young woman in a cotton and linen dress is walking on the tree-lined road in the early morning. The morning wind is a little chilly due to the humidity of the undried dew. The woman is wearing a thin cardigan and carrying the purchased Breakfast and say hello to neighbors who get up early to buy groceries.

"It's so early, Auntie."

"You are early too."

The woman and the sixty-year-old man passed by, opened the flower art gate and walked into the villa through the manicured yard.

A boy in school uniform met the woman who opened the door.

The peers of the youth teaching were a little thin, their skin was very fair, and their lips were so light that the color could hardly be seen. Standing on the stairs on the second floor, holding the handrail of the stairs, he said to the woman, "Sister Hui, did you move the photo frame in my room? "

The woman stood in the living room on the first floor with her breakfast, looked up at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's too old, I'll buy a new one later."

After speaking, he carried the bag and walked to the kitchen: "There is no milk at home, is it okay to drink soy milk this morning?"

The boy said yes, and sat in the dining room waiting for dinner.

The woman brought the prepared breakfast in front of him, with a knife and fork on the plate of two fried eggs, and then sat down opposite him.

The boy turned the plate around, took the fork that should have been held in his right hand in his left hand, and raised his head to look at the young nanny opposite him: "What's wrong?"

The nanny shook her head and put a cup of soy milk on his left, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxu, this mid-term parent meeting, do you want the husband or the wife to go?"

The boy lowered his head and cut the omelette silently, and said in a low voice and shyly: "Whatever, see who has time, if they are busy, you can go."

The nanny nodded, packed his schoolbag and handed it to him, saying: "Be careful on the road."

The boy put his schoolbag on his back, rolled out his racing car from the garage where two sports cars were parked, turned out of the house and went to school.

In Class 31, he had just walked to the door when he heard the lively discussions inside.

"Cheng Xun, Cheng Xun is dead, Cheng Xun from Class [-]."

The boy paused, and the hand holding the schoolbag loosened suddenly. The schoolbag almost fell out of his hand. He stood at the door in a daze, his eyes were empty, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was patted on the shoulder by a boy in the same class.

"Why are you standing here, go in."

The boy looked at him with red eyes, swallowed hard, walked into the classroom with difficulty like a hammer tied to his ankle, and sat on his seat.

The class immediately fell silent, and almost everyone was looking at him with meaningful eyes. His deskmate sat next to him under the eyes of the people around him, and asked in a low voice: "Eh? What about Cheng Xun?" do you know"

The young man lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and did not speak.

The girl said again: "Do you know what happened? Everyone said that you were cursed and your heads were lowered."

The young man's face turned pale, and finally a trace of anger appeared on his quiet and restrained face, and he said stiffly, "I don't know, don't ask me."

At this time, the school bell rang, ending this heavy topic.

Cheng Xun's funeral was on the third day after the incident, and Su Wan found nothing important after digging up the body. She only estimated the time of death based on the residual medicine in the stomach, and found several wounds on the head and body of the deceased. may be determined to be the deceased's own act.Fu Yi also went to Cheng Xun's former psychiatrist. The doctor's words were basically the same as Cheng Xun's parents, saying that Cheng Xun had a tendency to light business.There is also the suicide note, which has been confirmed to be Cheng Xun's notes.Now it seems that all the clues point to Cheng Xun's suicide rather than homicide, but Chu Xingyun has doubts.

The mobile phone number that Qiao Shishi gave him has changed owners, one of the three emails was sent from the Internet cafe, and the address of the other email was found to be unverified, and the latest email was sent through a mobile terminal.But the owner of the mobile phone changed, and now the owner heard that it was the police who came to the door, and immediately confessed his crime of buying a second-hand mobile phone from a thief.

The mobile phone changed hands, and the clues were broken in three mysterious emails.

Chu Xingyun gave Qiao Shishi a death order: "Within three hours, no matter what method you use, you draw an effective range for me."

Ignoring Qiao Shishi's snarl, he walked non-stop to the meeting room, and saw several police officers taking photos from another whiteboard.

"Who told you to withdraw it, post it back!"

Chu Xingyun didn't get angry easily, but it was scary when he got angry. Two police officers took a stack of photos of carrion corpses and said carefully: "Chu team, Yang Bureau asked to withdraw."

Chu Xingyun raised his hand and pointed to the whiteboard wall: "Paste it back!"

The photo was posted back on the whiteboard, and the two subordinates who were ordered to act walked out in desperation.

Chu Xingyun walked to the whiteboard, hugged his arms and leaned against the conference table behind him, and looked at the photos of the mummified corpse from all angles in front of him with his dark brows that looked like they had been dyed with ink.

Fu Yi walked up to him unknowingly, followed his gaze to the upper left corner of the whiteboard, and explained: "Before our people were driven away by He Cheng last night, we found a pile of clothes and had blood tests done. victim's."

Chu Xingyun stared intently at the few bloody clothes covered with dirt and severely corroded by mud and air. His eyes were as dark as the entrance of a dark cave, and there was no wind in the silence.

"Is that green shirt the dead woman's?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The shirt is like a rotten vegetable leaf that has been crushed. Whatever clues there are, they have been buried for so long, and they are all broken into pieces.

Chu Xingyun asked: "Where is the original?"

"I have already checked the evidence room, but there are no clues."

Fu Yi turned his head to look at him, thought for a moment and said, "Have you talked to He Cheng, why did he break your case?"

As soon as he heard the word He Cheng, Chu Xingyun felt a toothache, dragged his chin and sighed worriedly: "Don't mention that this little bastard is just crazy, it's not human to go crazy. I don't know where to look at me My son is not pleasing to the eye, and I deliberately make life difficult for me."

As one of the few who knew about their relationship, Fu Yi felt that it was necessary for him to stand up and say something for He Cheng: "Don't blame him, the energy in his heart hasn't passed after so many years, it can be seen that the incident back then How much it affects him, after all, he relies on you so much and believes in you."

After Fu Yi finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder: "Talk to him well, I see, he doesn't care about anyone now, he only listens to you."

Chu Xingyun supported his forehead, with a helpless expression similar to a wry smile on his face, and said: "He listened to me, but only before that happened, and no matter how I made up for it later, he always had a heart for me, maybe You really hate me. Brother Fu, if it were you, how would you choose?"

Fu Yi thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I don't know, what about you? Do you regret your choice back then?"

Chu Xingyun raised his head and sighed: "Regret, especially regret, I regret why I didn't stay by myself. He was so young at the time, I left him, he must have hated me. I treat him as a younger brother, very dear Brother, if possible, I would really like to replace him with myself."

Fu Yi looked at his depressed face and was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "It's useless to say so much now, let's think about why he can't get along with you again, you brother, only you will listen to what you say, follow carefully Let him talk."

Chu Xingyun waved his hand, sighed and said: "You don't know, this kid is holding his breath and trying to kill me."

"Team Chu."

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, Yang Kaitai stood at the door anxiously, glanced at Fu Yi, passed him over, and said to Chu Xingyun: "Cheng Xun's parents want to get the body."

Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were dressed in black and white. Accompanied by a few relatives and friends, they stood at the door of the autopsy room and had a stalemate with several police officers.The noise ran all over the corridor, and Mrs. Cheng wept silently with her pregnant belly, accompanied by her female relatives.

Seeing the situation over there, Chu Xingyun stopped and stood far away from the periphery without approaching. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded and watched the movement over there. Fu Yi and Yang Kaitai rushed to the crowd non-stop and began to reconcile the conflict.

The purpose of the Cheng family is very simple, to claim Cheng Xun's body, and then embarrass him in the ground.As parents, they couldn't bear to lose their son and let him lie on the dissecting table for someone to disembowel and study.It seems that they have already confirmed that the death of their son was a suicide, and the Cheng family members are all of high cultural quality. It is indeed overwhelming to use high-profile reasoning. Where to argue.At present, the murder of Cheng Xun is only Chu Xingyun's speculation, and there is no substantive evidence. The case is frozen and difficult to proceed. At this time, the family members of the deceased came to withdraw the case again, threatening that the police would not need to intervene, and the situation was even more difficult to advance.

While Fu Yi was sweating profusely to appease the emotions of Mr. Cheng and his relatives and friends, Chu Xingyun kept staring at Mrs. Cheng.Looking at her belly, he noticed that Mrs. Cheng cherished this unborn child very much, and kept protecting her belly with her hands.

In order to avoid the flames of war, Su Wan left her office and slipped to Chu Xingyun's side. Seeing him staring at Mrs. Cheng thoughtfully, she sighed and said, "Woman, the pain of losing a child is really terrible." of."

She had a baby face, but she frowned and pressed the corners of her lips to pretend to be old-fashioned. It was really funny. Chu Xingyun glanced at her, smiled a little, and suddenly asked: "How many months has she been?"

Su Wan tilted her head to look carefully, then rubbed her chin and thought for a while: "It's been five or six months, my stomach is already big."

At this time, Fu Yi was overwhelmed by the attack of the family members of the deceased. He looked at Chu Xingyun on the periphery of the crowd and asked him for his decision with his eyes. Chu Xingyun nodded slightly. Fu Yi let out a sigh of relief and said to Yang Kaitai: "Move .”

Su Wan looked at Fu Yi who was busy coming in and out from a distance, and said with emotion: "Captain Fu is really not like a policeman, he is more elegant and refined than the professors in our department, he really looks like a teacher."

Chu Xingyun squinted at her, and snapped his fingers in front of her eyes: "Come back to your senses, elementary school girl, she is already married, and her daughter is three years old, you are late."

Su Wan is not the aggressive Qiao Shishi, she is a tender and sweet girl from Suzhou, she was very embarrassed when he made a joke.He stared and defended, "I just lamented that all good men are famous and rich, so I didn't think about anything else."

Chu Xingyun smiled, pointed at his face, his skin was as thick as a wall and said: "Look here, there is still a good man here, why don't you miss Xiao Xiao miss me, primary school girl."

The elementary school girl blushed smoothly after being teased by him, shook her hand, turned her head and left.

Chu Xingyun shouted at her back: "Remember to miss me."

At this time, Qiao Shishi came out of the office, took a look at the little white rabbit who was scared away by the big bad wolf, walked towards Chu Xingyun with the tablet in his arms, and said sincerely: "I miss you, really Yes, I have missed you for many years, let me warm your bed tonight."

Chu Xingyun leaned against the wall and smiled: "Not sure about the location?"

Qiao Shishi presented the tablet: "Boss, you can either sleep with me or sneak into me. The little one has done his best. These three email addresses are sent to another place, and they are all wild cannons. The little one Incompetent, only circled within ten kilometers."

"Forget about these wild cannons, follow me to the sub-bureau."

On the way to the branch office, Chu Xingyun received a message from Fu Yi that the Cheng family had taken away the body and it was scheduled to be buried tomorrow.

After reading the text message, Chu Xingyun did not reply. He threw the phone on the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with one hand, and stretched out the cigarette butt with the other hand to dust off the soot. If you ignore this person and ignore the traffic laws, this person is quite stylish. .

Qiao Shishi has long been used to the 'bumper car' he drove all the way to the No. [-] Branch of Yinjiang City.After getting out of the car, she shook her head and smoothed her ponytail, and she was a refreshed and beautiful girl again, whose anti-motion sickness ability was much stronger than that of Yang Kaitai.

Walking into the gate of the sub-bureau, Qiao Shishi reached out and waved away the golden pieces of paper floating in front of his eyes. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and he asked, "Boss, what are you doing here? Are you in a meeting?"

Chu Xingyun jumped up the steps and said: "Since our current direction has reached a dead end, let's change the direction."

"What direction?"

"Investigating all the juvenile homicides in Yinjiang City in recent years, I don't believe that we can't find a new breakthrough."

Master Qiao: ...

How did she feel, suddenly a little dizzy.

Captain Liu of the sub-bureau is old friends with him. They have cooperated many times and set up a special case team together. Therefore, Captain Liu is very supportive of his work. According to his account, all the juvenile homicide cases in Yinjiang City in the past five years have been brought out. , and even set aside an office for them.

As soon as Qiao Shishi entered the door, he was dazed by the boxes of case files on the table and on the floor. He held on to the door frame and said, "Boss, to be honest, I would rather sleep with you."

Chu Xingyun: "What's the rush? When you show up at night, Captain Liu, close the door for us."

Captain Liu closed the door for them, and they were alone in the office.

Chu Xingyun fell into the chair, put his legs on the table, like a prostitute visiting a brothel, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, and raised his eyebrows and smiled at her: "Come on little girl, let's start working. "

Chu Xingyun chose to start from the files close to this case, and told Qiao Shishi: "Find out all suspicious suicide cases."

If it wasn't for this big search, he really didn't have any impression of the juvenile crime rate in Yinjiang City. Only after this big search did he come up with a more reliable statistic.In recent years, the suicide rate in Yinjiang City has only increased, which is caused by pressure from all directions, and the most common ones are domestic violence and school bullying.At first he doubted whether Cheng Xun was subjected to domestic violence or school bullying, but the investigation showed that Cheng Xun's parents treated him well and had never been subjected to domestic violence.As for campus bullying, he dropped out of high school in the second year of high school. He was always a three-good student at school, and his family was well-off, so he never suffered campus bullying.But why did he suddenly lose his mind during the summer vacation of his sophomore year in high school?

They stayed in the branch office until Ugin fell slightly, and found more than a dozen not-so-innocent suicide cases.It's just that there has been no breakthrough in these cases, and Chu Xingyun can't help but start to doubt whether his judgment is just useless.

"Boss."

Qiao Shishi suddenly changed his dejected attitude, staring at a file in his hand and asked: "You said, did you find a suicide note in the room of the deceased?"

Chu Xingyun picked up a stack of files in his hand and turned them upside down, disapprovingly: "There are suicide notes left here, keep looking."

Qiao Shishi showed him the attached photo, with serious eyes: "Look at this one, is it similar to the one left by Cheng Xun?"

Chu Xingyun took a look, his eyes were like two lanterns lit up in the dark hole, dark and hot, and said in a deep voice: "Find Cheng Xun's suicide note."

The photo of the suicide note in front of him was written on pale yellow paper with dark flowers. If it wasn't for the different handwriting, he would almost think it was the one left by Cheng Xun. Besides, the last sentence of the suicide note was——who Can you help me?I don't want to go to hell, I don't want to go to hell!

Help, another distress signal.

The owner of this suicide note is Xue Minhao, who died on August 23, [-]. The cause of death was drowning in a bathtub full of water at home. The police found this suicide note on the sink next to the bathroom, so they sent He declared suicide.

August 23rd is the time when the school is on summer vacation. If it is a coincidence, it is also the beginning of Cheng Xun's insanity.

Chu Xingyun swept the other case files off the table, unfolded Xue Minhao's case file, flipped through the pages, and said, "Call Captain Liu over."

Captain Liu hurried to the office to cooperate with their work. After listening to the scope of Chu Xingyun's frame, he thought about it carefully and said: "There is indeed another case, which was in [-], that is, last year. A high school student Jumping from the balcony of the hotel room, such a suicide note was also left on the scene. Because they were all cases under the jurisdiction of our branch bureau, and they were all suicides, so the city bureau did not pay too much attention to it, and simply went through the process. The case is closed. Oh, do you want the file? Yes, yes, I will send someone to find it for you."

With a clear goal, it is much easier to find it.In less than 10 minutes, Chu Xingyun got the detailed case information.Seeing the photos of the suicide note left at the scene, it was indeed a light yellow stamped paper. Although there was no explicit call for help in this suicide note, it was similar to the previous two letters, and the lines were full of sadness and fear.

The boy who committed suicide by jumping off the building was Wang Mingyuan. He was only 16 years old when he died. He was a sophomore in Yinjiang No. [-] Middle School.Wang Mingyuan was in the same school as Xue Minhao, who drowned himself, and Cheng Xun, the deceased, was in the same school as them.
