Criminal Investigation Files

Nancheng 18 years ago.

This is a city under construction, and there are construction sites everywhere. Several huge chimneys in the northeast of the city spit out billowing smoke day and night.Because sometimes there is sandy weather, the sky above the head is sometimes orange, and the whole city is like a huge steel monster, waking up from hibernation, stretching its waist and trying to make a difference in the world.

In the city in mid-September, the weather is still muggy, and another thunderstorm is coming.The dark clouds blocked the sun, and the dust floating in the air made the whole world seem to be covered with a brown filter.This time is the rush hour for get off work.Located in a block not far from the north of Nancheng, the roadside is full of people in a hurry.

The rain suddenly fell, and it hurt a little when it hit the body. The panicked passers-by were running in the rain, looking for shelter from the rain.

As fate would have it, this is an eventful year.

Standing next to the traffic light post at the intersection, a woman was standing. The woman was well dressed. She was wearing a windbreaker and a pair of flesh-colored stiletto high heels, as if she was waiting for the traffic light, but the red light changed several times, and she was never seen. Ma Lu, she seemed to be waiting for someone, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.She quietly holds a red umbrella.The umbrella is bright red, as bright as blood, such a hot color, it is particularly eye-catching in this dim yellow world.

Under the coffee-colored sky, the woman's eyes showed a crystal-clear amber color. She was a little lost in thought, as if the whole world had frozen. Looking from her angle, she could see a group of gray buildings.That was her prison, her land of chaos, and after enjoying this short period of freedom, she would enter that decayed place again.

As long as she thinks of that place, various sounds seem to emerge in her ears, screams, coughs, grunts, sighs, all kinds of sounds that disgust her seem to be intertwined, and all of these... All thanks to the man - the man who threw her into hell...

She felt like an egg that had been cracked. Even if the egg liquid inside hadn't come out for a while, it wouldn't last long.

She is near death.

The woman's chest rose and fell, as if she was not breathing well.She raised a hand, as if trying to grab something.

Then, all the sound disappeared.Everything was replaced by the sound of rustling rain.

Those raindrops filtered the dust in the air, and a light blue appeared in the far distance of the sky.

The woman turned her head and looked at the tall Nancheng Tower standing in the South City. She suddenly had an urge to jump off the tower.

In the end, she gave up the idea. She pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, mustered up her courage, and walked towards the gray building with firm eyes.

In this battle, success or failure depends on tonight.

Her figure swayed, her steps were light, and she disappeared into the rain.

18 years later.

Time is like flowing water, passing by without your knowing it. As time goes by, the memory of youth becomes more and more blurred and hazy, like a layer of fog and veil.Many things seemed to be still yesterday, and suddenly everything changed.One day at a time, one month at a time, one year at a time, people have come here, and the city has come here.

Today's Nancheng is completely different from what it was more than ten years ago. Only some streets and alleys remain dilapidated traces caused by the rapid development in the past. It looks like a well-dressed woman with some faint lines at the corners of her eyes.

Only the South City Tower in the city, after several wind and rain, still stands there.

In midsummer, Nancheng at [-] o'clock in the evening is not as bustling as it is during the day, but it has its own mystery at night.

People at this time are enjoying the time of freedom, away from the hustle and bustle of the day, the steaming heat gradually dissipates with the arrival of night, and is swept away by the night wind. This time of the day is the most free and most timid. The most relaxing, you can hold the hand of your lover and walk into the theater, you can turn on your mobile phone and pour a glass of red wine alone, or you can invite a few relatives and friends to try your luck.

There is a barren area in the northeast of Nancheng, which is almost the dividing line between the city and the suburbs. A riverbed that has already dried up is separated by a riverbed. On one side is a place full of feasting and feasting, and on the other side, it is a desolate land full of rubbish.

On the dry riverbed, the temperature is several degrees lower than in the city.This place is deserted during the day, and at night, it is extremely quiet, as if it is a corner forgotten by everyone.

Zhao Xiaoxin, a homeless man, has long been used to this kind of life, and he is very familiar with the smell of garbage and the sound of buzzing flies.Since Nancheng began to sort garbage, some people have discovered this place and transported garbage here, saving time and effort, and no one will find and know.

Every night, Zhao Xiaoxin would take a walk to this area, pick up some rubbish, and then go back to the nearby bridge hole to spend the night.Waiting for the sun to rise as usual the next day.

Today's wasteland by the river is somewhat different, Zhao Xiaoxin sensitively found that the smell here is much stronger, and the bugs are much more active than before.He searched around, and found a large black travel bag near the river bed.

The travel bag was pure black, an impenetrable black under the night, the bag was a bit big, it was half the height of a person when it was placed there, and the strong smell came from that bag.

If it was an ordinary person, seeing such a scene at this time, he would definitely run away immediately, but Zhao Xiaoxin is not an ordinary person. He has been stupid since he was a child, and he was a little stunned. He hesitated, unable to utter a complete sentence. Because of this, he was unable to communicate with ordinary people and work normally. After his parents died, he became a waste picker.

Zhao Xiaoxin is not ashamed of it, he loves his work and his life.

He just likes this riverside, where the sky is big and the land is big, there are no people, and everything is his own, as if he has become a master.

Things that ordinary people can guess, when it comes to Zhao Xiaoxin, the reaction will be a few beats slower.By coincidence, he became greedy, thinking that the bag is not bad, it looks waterproof, and if he picks it up, he can hold something.He didn't have any good luck in his life, thinking that if he could be favored by God, it must feel good.

With curiosity and greed, Zhao Xiaoxin bravely walked to the bag and pulled it open, only to see a group of flies buzzing out of it.The flies seemed to have mutated into bees and built a hive in the bag.

Zhao Xiaoxin was taken aback. He leaned his head under the light of the roadside... Then he saw something lying in the bag—it was a dead person, and it was a complete, curled up dead person. , seems to be a man who is not small.

Zhao Xiaoxin let out a cry, and stepped back, subconsciously wanting to escape, but when his body was lowered just now, the corner of his clothes caught the bag, and with this movement, the bag was brought down, and the bag was overturned with the corpse. On the side, the head and face of the corpse were completely exposed to the streetlights.

It was a half-rotted corpse of a male, whose limbs were bound, curled up strangely, with a pair of eyes open, staring at Zhao Xiaoxin firmly, with a look of regret on his face.Such a turn of events completely stunned Zhao Xiaoxin.He did not expect that a discarded corpse suddenly appeared by the river.

Then Zhao Xiaoxin noticed something strange...he was a little stunned, the more frightened he was, the more he wanted to see clearly. With the help of the dim streetlight, he finally saw clearly, in the wide open eyes of the corpse, there were red, blood-like slits. The thread is slowly creeping...

That thing, like a bug.

All this was like a nightmare, Zhao Xiaoxin turned around, and ran out along the river desperately, eager to get out of this place...

In the office of the Nancheng Bureau, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the office had become empty, only a few police officers on duty and the criminal police who were working overtime were still there.

Song Wen didn't expect Lu Siyu to come to the city bureau at this point. He stretched out his hand and took the reinstatement report handed over by Lu Siyu. The attending doctor, Dr. Li, actually signed it. I don't know what method he used. Let Dr. Li agree to his reinstatement in advance.

"Are you too impatient?" Song Wen looked at Lu Siyu who was sitting across from him, "As far as your situation is concerned, I went to talk to Dr. Li recently."

Lu Siyu stood opposite Song Wen, resting his hands on the table, waiting for Song Wen to continue.

Song Wen was not in a hurry to sign, but put down the paper and said: "When I went last time, Dr. Li told me that although you are discharged from the hospital, you still have one week left for medical treatment, and after this week, you still need more medicine." Vacation and recuperation. As I recall, the leave note he gave you is still one month away."

Lu Siyu lowered his head and said, "But Dr. Li has already allowed me to be discharged from the hospital, and then signed it... I think I've recuperated well. There are not enough people in the team. If I come back earlier, I can share some work."

In fact, these days Lu Siyu was in the hospital, and Song Wen didn't wrong him at all. He went to take care of him when he had time, and often brought various meals to the patients.

After Lu Siyu was able to eat, he began to eat less and more meals. He had breakfast at six o'clock every morning, then some fruit in the morning, and then lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper, so he ate six meals a day.After being admitted to the hospital once, I gained two catties on the contrary.He was originally thin, but now he has gained a little weight. Looking at it this way, his face looks more white, tender and delicate.

Song Wen still didn't take a pen, crossed his fingers and said: "First of all, discharge and reinstatement are two concepts. The leave note that Dr. Li gave you before must have considered your physical condition. The doctors can't just say it. Captain, I think you should rest for a while, at least come back after your vacation."

Lu Siyu licked his lips: "The fake note... It's been a long time, and no one discussed it with me. I just found out."

That leave note was issued by Lu Siyu when he just returned from hospital transfer, and the leave application process in the team required a leave note. Song Wen went directly to Dr. Li, the chief physician of the Municipal Affiliated Hospital, and asked him to issue a leave note according to his condition.

At that time, Dr. Li took the test results and said: "There are many ulcers in the stomach, and the stomach is almost perforated. Your team members are dying?"

Song Wendao: "Yes, you are right. I will definitely take care of him and keep him under strict supervision."

So the two didn't discuss it with Lu Siyu, and Dr. Li prescribed it for a month and a half with a swipe of a pen.Song Wen directly handed over the leave note to the personnel of the Municipal Bureau.Lu Siyu had only recently heard about it from Dr. Li, and he didn't expect this to become Song Wen's "theoretical basis" for rejecting him.

Now Lu Siyu has only been in the hospital for half a month, and he is anxious to come back.Doctors can agree to this kind of behavior, but Song Wen can't.

Lu Siyu lowered his head and took the reinstatement form back into his hand. There were three checks on the form, signed by the attending doctor, signed by the immediate leadership, and evaluated by the psychologist.If Song Wen refused to sign, the process would not go on.

He seemed to have expected that Song Wen would stop him, and sighed.

Lu Siyu had always been indifferent and indifferent, and rarely showed his emotions, but at this time, he showed a bit of aggrieved expression, like a rabbit with red eyes.

After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Captain Song, did I do something wrong? Or did I cause trouble before? You don't want me to come back..."

"It's nothing, you're doing pretty well..." Song Wen couldn't see his expression, and his heart softened immediately, "The work of the police force is stressful and fast-paced, as you know, it's definitely not as good as eating and sleeping at home, and the body is healthy. There is no need to worry about the cost of the revolution and reinstatement. Moreover, even if you pass my test, you still have to talk to Dr. Zhou again, so I think we should discuss this matter in the long run. "

Seeing that Lu Siyu stood there without moving, Song Wen coaxed the child and said, "Be obedient, you go back today first, and when you come next Monday, I will sign for you."

Next Monday, there are still five days left, which is a little earlier than the leave note.

Fu Linjiang on the side couldn't help but chime in and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Lu, who doesn't know that you are Team Song's favorite, and they won't let you go. This time you have an accident, and Team Song blames themselves more than you do, while caring about this By the way, he goes to the hospital to see you every day. If you come back without recuperating, he won't be able to pass his test."

"Then... I'll come back next Monday." Lu Siyu didn't say anything, got up and left.

Seeing Lu Siyu leave, Fu Linjiang walked around, winked at Song Wen, and said, "Who is it? I was scratching my head and hoping that he would return to the team, but now I'm here to pretend I'm not in a hurry."

Song Wen finally managed to coax Lu Siyu away, and at this moment he was struck by his thoughts: "He hasn't recuperated at all, and it's not that I don't want him to come back, you know? On the third day after he was out of danger, He was transferred to the hospital in Nancheng. I had just finished handling a case there and was anxious to see him. As soon as I entered the ward, I saw him writing Hui, Report, summary, conclusion. At that time, I was so angry that I didn’t have the same knowledge as him because he was a patient, so I just confiscated the pen and paper. Do you think I dare to let such a person return to work early?”

The last report was also written by Song Wen himself, and most of the credit was given to Lu Siyu.Looking back at the achievements, it is good for promotion and salary increase.It's a pity that Lu Siyu didn't seem to appreciate it, he didn't care much about these things, he only wanted to return to the team and resume his job.

Fu Linjiang burst out laughing from the sidelines, watching the excitement was no big deal: "Oh, didn't you let him take charge of the copywriting work? Why is it that I feel distressed now?" He kept his voice down and said with bright eyes, "Or do you think this case is serious and you don't want him involved?"

Song Wen paused with his fingers typing on the keyboard. The third team went to investigate the case tonight, but in the end Gu Ju suddenly notified him to take over.Such work arrangements are quite rare in normal times.Song Wen analyzed, there are several possibilities, either Gu Ju thinks that the third team may not be able to complete the case and assigns it to the first team with a higher detection rate on weekdays, or the third team leader Cheng Mo took the initiative to express his hope after getting the case. Don't take over.Regardless of the reason, it means that the current case will be difficult to deal with.As an old policeman, Fu Linjiang undoubtedly thought of this.

Song Wen didn't want Lu Siyu to come back too early. Apart from feeling sorry for him, he felt that his physical condition should not return to work early. He was afraid that he would suffer from stomach problems again after working hard. He was indeed a little selfish because he was afraid that the case would involve too much and wanted to keep him out of it.When it comes to next Monday, how can there be a buffer period.

Also, his relationship with Lu Siyu...

Song Wen admitted that he was tempted by him. Before the relationship started, people always thought too much. Office romance is a big taboo, especially with their profession and status. Moreover, he still didn't know what Lu Siyu thought of him. There are too many uncertainties in the future, but the case is overwhelmed, and people have no time to take care of it.

The more he cherishes, the more prudent he is. He is serious, so he needs to be careful in every step.

Just as he was thinking, the mobile phone that was placed aside suddenly rang. Song Wen looked at it and said, "Old Lin said, the corpse has been brought back, let's go and see the new corpse."
