18 years ago.

At that time, Nancheng was full of construction sites under expansion. Next to the Wushan Nursing Home, there were some old residential buildings.

The sky is pale yellow, and the morning air is mixed with a faint smell of sulfuric acid, which is a bit choking.

It was a seemingly ordinary evening, and the air was still sultry in the autumn heat. Many old people didn't know what happened recently, but they found that there were suddenly more people coming in and out, and there were often some strange sounds outside.

Finally, when it was time to close the net, several police cars parked outside the front and rear doors of the nursing home.Angry citizens just attacked the gatehouse of the nursing home. Many windows were broken and the ground was full of glass residue.

The captain of the criminal police, Song Cheng, led a group of people through the yard and hurried in. Just last night, they had conclusive evidence that Xia Weiwei killed those old people. The police began to investigate from room to room, but the suspects Ren Xia Weiwei has never been seen.

Song Cheng couldn't help raising his voice and asked, "Where's Xia Weiwei? Did you find her? Has anyone seen her?" Now, Wu Qing is still lying in the hospital with uncertainties about his life and death. He urgently needs this victory to boost morale.

"Doctor Xia, yesterday was on the night shift." A little nurse said timidly. Although they had conducted several inquiries beforehand and people knew what might have happened in this nursing home and what Xia Weiwei might have done, they still It is customary to refer to Xia Weiwei as Doctor Xia.

"Last night, I seemed to see Dr. Xia downstairs..." an old man said.

Song Cheng's brows twitched, suddenly feeling ominous.

Although they hadn't started the formal arrest yesterday, they put a secret whistle at the door to ensure that no one entered or left the nursing home. But now, why is there such a situation?

"Further up the search!" Song Cheng ordered his subordinates sharply, "Issuing a wanted arrest, if you want to see the person, if you want to see the dead body. Who is there? Who saw her in the end?"

A teenager stood out from the crowd. It was just a ten-year-old boy with short hair, dark skin, and a scar at the corner of his eyebrow. He walked up to the policeman, and he seemed to muster up a lot of courage. He raised his head He opened his mouth and said, "I saw a man dragging Dr. Xia downstairs, and they climbed over the wall from behind and went out together..."

The policeman in charge subconsciously denied: "Impossible, not a single fly could fly out of here last night!"

The high wall behind the nursing home is more than three meters high, with glass shards and barbed wire on it. How can two people help each other to climb over it?Even if he could get out over the wall, the police on duty behind him would not be completely unaware.

The entire nursing home was searched from bottom to top. They checked every room and every corner, thinking that there was nothing missing.Who would have thought that last night was the last time Xia Weiwei appeared in people's sights.

The police who searched to no avail could only believe the testimony of witnesses, and they drew a portrait of the man according to the description of the witnesses.

However, in the descriptions of several children, the man's appearance was not consistent, and the old people also expressed that they had never seen that man.

Xia Weiwei seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he never appeared in front of people again, and the man was also missing.

After the case of the Wushan Nursing Home was made public in the media, it caused a sensation. Some people went to the gate of the Municipal Bureau to pull up banners, demanding that they severely punish the murderer and bring him to justice.Song Cheng was overwhelmed by this incident, and the telephone poles in the streets and alleys were covered with photos of Xia Weiwei.

At that time, they didn't know that when they were looking for Xia Weiwei, this woman was already dead. Her body lay quietly in the sewer of Wushan Nursing Home, disintegrating and rotting bit by bit until it became into bones...

18 years later.

It was more than eight o'clock in the evening, the sun had already set, and the cemetery was about to close, so there were not many people in the cemetery.

As night fell, the street lamps in the cemetery lit up one by one, stretching forward like stars in the sky.And what about those who died?Did it also go to heaven?

Before the cemetery closed, a middle-aged man in his 40s walked up to a tombstone and laid down a bouquet of white lilies. The tombstone was old and covered with mottled moss.There is no name written on the tombstone, and no photo posted.

It turned out that it had been 18 years, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he remembered that the woman's memorial day was coming.

The man looked down at the tombstone, the tomb was empty, he had set the tombstone here, the woman was his bosom friend, his lover, his enemy...

The man stood in front of the tombstone for a while, then he turned around, perhaps because of standing for a long time, his knees were sore, and he almost fell when he was about to leave.

Someone suddenly supported him.

It was a thin girl with small eyebrows, eyes and nose, and her hands were also small, with warmth.

The man said, "Thank you."

"It's okay, it should be..." The people who came to the cemetery at this time were undoubtedly mourning their relatives and friends, and she, who was not deeply involved in the world, naturally gave her sympathy to this middle-aged man.

His expression was a little sad, probably his wife died?

The girl thought, and pulled her hair with her hands, "I couldn't see with my eyes before, and I was helped by many people, so now, I should help others more."

After the girl finished speaking, she walked towards a newly erected tombstone next to her, and placed a bouquet of pink flowers under the tombstone.At the beginning of this cemetery, the tombstones were sparsely erected. Later, as more and more people died, it was repaired and some places were added, so the two old and new tombs were connected together.

The middle-aged man looked at the tombstone. The picture on it was a young man, and his name was engraved next to it——Chen Yanqiu.

The man asked: "This is your..."

"It's my brother." The girl bowed respectfully to the tombstone.

She just took back her brother's belongings and quit her job. She chose to go to an educational institution and became a piano teacher. It turned out that life is not so terrible as the policeman said. You can just face it day by day. up.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "My condolences."

The girl said: "You too."

On this ordinary night, two strangers met in the cemetery.

Sometimes the city looks very big, sometimes it is very small.

The man stood firm, got up and walked out of the cemetery.After brushing shoulders with the girl, his footsteps gradually became firmer.

"I saw a beast coming out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, and on the ten horns were ten crowns, and on the seven heads were names of blasphemy."

The man gradually walked away. Now, the giant beast sank to the bottom of the sea, and it was difficult to find its trace on the sea.

In the haze, Lu Siyu felt as if he was walking forward, and every road was changing all the time, without end.He was very tired from walking, but his legs didn't seem to be his own, and he couldn't stop at all.

There were many people around with different expressions, and he couldn't tell who they were.But he can distinguish those eyes, indifference, hesitation, disgust, fear, fear.As if he was really a lunatic, a pervert, a psycho.

Then he heard Wu Qing's voice: "You are not suitable for forensic medicine. Forensic medicine is a profession that touches corpses. You are using those corpses to paralyze yourself. You are very smart, and your thinking can be different from ordinary people. I think you should Learn to communicate with living people. You can try to be a criminal policeman."

Lu Siyu said, "But I'm applying for the forensic medicine major."

"Are you considering a graduate student in investigation? I haven't taken a graduate student in person for a long time. I saw your grades, and there should be no problem in applying for my major. From forensic work, you can't get more clues, and you can't Find out who was behind the murder of your parents."

Then Wu Qing raised his head and said to him, "Ji Siyu, I remember you." Sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes were steady, "You are the child found at the murder scene, the only survivor of the 519 case..."

In an instant, Wu Qing's face changed to Song Wen's.

Lu Siyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling a strong sense of weightlessness, and his body suddenly hurt like it was being torn apart.

After being dizzy for a few seconds, Lu Siyu realized that it was a dream. There were real and fake in the dream, and everything was full of strange lights and shadows.

Lu Siyu touched his forehead, his cheeks were covered with sweat, and his head still hurt a little. It was still dark outside. Due to Li Luanfang's visit, Song Wen moved out the quilt and pillow, and did not sleep here today. rooms.

Lu Siyu got up from the bed and checked the time. It was five o'clock. He poured himself a glass of warm water. When passing by the bathroom, he glanced at the mirror inside. The person in the mirror was not as peaceful as before. The indifference of his eyes was strange to him, it was the face of a murderer.

Then he heard his cell phone ring.Who texts at five in the morning?

The other party's name is Bei Tianji.

The north celestial pole, the point where the earth's axis and the celestial sphere intersect in the north, is also the virtual center point of the rotation of the northern hemisphere.

For thousands of years, people on Earth have navigated by its starlight.

Lu Siyu clicked through, and the status of the other party was online.He quickly clicked on the positioning software, and he could see that the other party was also in Nancheng, but the exact location was unknown.

As if he knew what Lu Siyu was doing, a line of words appeared on the screen: "You can't find me."

Lu Siyu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and typed three words to ask: "Who are you?"

The other party replied quickly: "I am Teacher Wu's informant, I thought I'd say hello to you, and we will meet in the future."

Afterwards, the other party's avatar showed that it was offline, and it became dark.The message sent just now disappeared quickly, and the dialog box became blank, as if everything was just an extension of that dream.

At this time, Song Wen's room suddenly turned on the light, and the light shone through the crack of the door, and the sound of him answering the phone came from the door.Lu Siyu walked to Song Wen's door with a water glass in his hand, passed through the half-open door, and watched Song Wen sitting cross-legged on the bed and talking on the phone.

It was five o'clock in the morning, darkness enveloped the land, the whole city was very quiet, and most of the people were still asleep.

"Did something happen?" Lu Siyu asked softly after Song Wen put down the phone.

Song Wen hummed, "Did I wake you up?" Then he said, "A female corpse was found in the east of Nancheng, and the police need to be called."
