Criminal Investigation Files

Song Wen and Lu Siyu got the materials that Captain Wang had copied for them on the traffic side, and brought them back to the Municipal Bureau. It was already past six o'clock on the return trip.

While Lu Siyu was making dinner, Song Wen received a call from Fu Linjiang.

"Team Song, we found the small hotel where Chen Yanqiu stayed last according to the previous investigation. I just went there to confirm. The hotel owner saw Chen Yanqiu's photo and confirmed that he had seen him."

On this day, other colleagues in the city bureau were not idle either, they were looking for traces of Chen Yanqiu before his death.Fu Linjiang's discovery is undoubtedly a great progress for the investigation of the case. After finding this hotel, it is possible to know what happened to Chen Yanqiu after that, and he can also deduce the specific time of his death and narrow down the scope of investigation.

Lu Siyu happened to come out with food and put a plate of eggplant on the table. Hearing Song Wen's words, he turned his head and asked softly, "Is there any progress?"

Song Wenchong made a silent gesture, indicating that Fu Linjiang should not hear his voice, and then turned on the speakerphone: "Where is the exact location of the hotel?"

"On Maochang Street, there is a small hotel called Ruyi Hotel. Since the check-in information here is not connected to the Internet, and the handwritten registration is still maintained, it took us some time to find it." Fu Linjiang paused and said, "Chen Yanqiu I used Zhang Rui's identity information to register here, and the photos of the two ID cards are a bit similar, so the boss didn't doubt it."

After hearing this sentence, Song Wencai really felt that the last period of Chen Yanqiu's life was real, he was not a ghost, but a living person.He knew Maochang Street, which was a shanty town in the west of the city, and the demolition work was only half done, and some self-built houses had a lot of vacant rooms.The homeowners remodeled the house and opened it into a small hotel, a bit similar to a family hotel. The hotel only has a few rooms and the price is very low. Sometimes it costs a few hundred to stay for a month.Rich people despise this place, but here is another home for migrant workers or poor people.

"Did the owner of the hotel provide any clues?"

"The location of this small hotel is a bit out of the way, and the business is mediocre. There are not many regular guests like him, so the boss still has an impression. The boss said that Chen Yanqiu checked into the hotel in January this year. He paid in cash and stayed there for a total of For more than a month, he also said that he often went out. By the way, he found that Chen Yanqiu was sick. When cleaning the room, there were many medicine bottles written in foreign languages. During the middle, Chen Yanqiu had a fever and couldn’t get up. He even made porridge for Chen Yanqiu , asked him if he needed to contact relatives and friends, but Chen Yanqiu refused. On the morning of February [-]rd, before the Chinese New Year, Chen Yanqiu suddenly said that he would go out early in the morning, and said that he would come back after the festival and left a box of things with the boss Deposit it, and never come back."

"The boss said he often goes out, do you know where he goes?"

"That's not clear."

"Have you checked your luggage?"

"I checked the things roughly with gloves on. There are no contraband or dangerous items. They are just some daily necessities. I will stay back to the city bureau later and let the evidence side check again."

Song Wen continued to ask: "Did Chen Yanqiu say what he will do in the end?"

"I just told the boss that he was going to do something. The boss thought he was going to visit relatives." Fu Linjiang remembered something and added, "By the way, the boss said that Chen Yanqiu seemed to be in a good mood that day, and he gave it to him His son had a bag of peanuts. Chen Yanqiu also said, 'When things are done, I will relax.'”

Song Wen frowned slightly when he heard this, and felt relieved when the matter was done, so what would he do?

"The boss said that he remembered it quite clearly, because it was almost the time of the Chinese New Year, and the guests all went home for the New Year, and they were almost gone. He originally wanted to ask how long Chen Yanqiu was going to live, thinking that the door would be closed for a few days during the Chinese New Year. I also rested for a few days. It happened that Chen Yanqiu had checked out of the room. On the day he left, it happened to be in time for the temperature to drop, and there was a little snow in the morning... Oh, yes, when I was looking through Chen Yanqiu's luggage just now, I found his clothes folded Very tidy."

Folded very neatly, so it is possible, Chen Yanqiu himself understands that he might not come back.

On the morning before the New Year, Chen Yanqiu disappeared at the end of the street in the light snow, and no one knew where he went after that.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, does this time point have any special significance?It was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but at that time, Chen Yanqiu was a seriously ill patient, and his younger sister took the car going north to look for the light.But he died and was dumped in the chemical plant.Was this result what he expected, or was it unexpected?

"Good job, you've worked hard. I've made some progress. I'll talk about it in the bureau tomorrow." Song Wen finished talking and hung up the phone. He saw Lu Siyu looking down at a table of dishes and thinking. The two came back late, and the dinner was relatively simple, with only two dishes and one soup, and the soup was tomato and egg soup.

Song Wen picked up his chopsticks and took a sip. Although the dishes were simple and home-cooked, the taste was not compromised at all. He said to Lu Siyu, "Oh, don't just think about the case. It's been a long day, let's eat."

Lu Siyu only had time to cook a few dishes in a hurry today, so he was a little disgusted at this moment.Song Wen was eating voraciously by the side, but he had no appetite. It seemed that all his efforts had been spent on the case, and he was struggling to cook, so he couldn't have any other energy.

But Lu Siyu knew that he needed to eat more. He had just been seriously ill before, and he was quitting medicine recently. There is so much more to do.

He was in a daze, but Song Wen's hand suddenly pressed against his forehead. Lu Siyu was stunned and forgot to hide. He blinked, raised his head and asked Song Wen, "What's wrong?"

Song Wen let go of his hand: "I don't have a fever, why are you in a daze?" In fact, Lu Siyu's forehead was not hot, and even felt a little cold.

Lu Siyu shook his head, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl, his fair face was expressionless, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.He was so engrossed in his thoughts just now that he didn't notice that Song Wen suddenly posted it.Now, his forehead is covered with the temperature of Song Wen's hand.

After eating this meal for half an hour, Lu Siyu forced himself to eat half a bowl of rice, and he felt a little disgusted after eating. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Song Wen asked after seeing that he didn't eat much: "Why? Can you eat?" Dinner?"

Lu Siyu said: "Maybe I'm too hungry, and I ate some in the kitchen just now, it's normal if I'm not hungry."

Song Wen seemed to have seen through his lies, and leaned forward and asked, "Are you really alright? I can only see something wrong with you during the day." Under the white light, Lu Siyu's face turned paler, and he was so spotless that it made people feel distressed.

Lu Siyu raised his head to look at him, with a calm expression on his delicate face: "Maybe there is a doping reaction, in the afternoon, I have a little headache, but it's not serious."

Song Wen looked at him and said, "If you don't feel right, you have to say it." He looked directly into Lu Siyu's eyes, and at that moment, Lu Siyu felt a little guilty. Looking at Song Wen, he asked, "What? If I lie and conceal the report, will Officer Song arrest me?"

Song Wen pulled his hand forward and made a gesture of handcuffing: "I will take you to see a doctor."

"Don't worry, there's nothing serious at the moment, and I haven't had a stomachache these two days." Lu Siyu licked his lips habitually as he spoke, and paused for a second, "I don't really like hospitals."

In the evening, as usual, I summarized the progress of the case and then went to bed.

At two o'clock in the morning, Song Wen was woken up by the sound of rain. It seemed that it was because of the memory when he was a child. As long as it was a rainy night, he would not sleep well. It hit the glass with a swipe, and it gradually became clear in his consciousness. In the darkness, the humid air rolled and surged, and the temperature dropped, even making people feel a little cold.

Then Song Wen went to the bathroom, and habitually glanced at Lu Siyu's room, only to find that Lu Siyu was not on the bed.

Song Wen walked out wearing slippers, and then saw the lights on in the study on the third floor.He pushed open the half-open door, and saw Lu Siyu sitting in front of the desk, holding the drowsy little wolf in his arms, stroking his fur.Lu Siyu looked up and saw him, he was not surprised, nor did he explain anything.

Song Wen pointed to the phone: "Do you know what time it is?"

Lu Siyu lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong: "I'm sorry, I can't sleep." When it started to rain, Lu Siyu woke up because he was hungry. Sure enough, he didn't have enough for dinner. Afraid of stomach problems, I got up and warmed up a cup of milk, and couldn't fall asleep.

Lu Siyu's words stunned Song Wen: "Oh, there's nothing I'm sorry about. I mean, it's only two o'clock, so go and lie down. You can't sit like this until dawn." Song Wen rubbed his eyes, "And don't come out so quietly next time. If you can't fall asleep, you can just shake me up and chat. It's so boring to sit here alone in the middle of the night."

Lu Siyu said with a guilty conscience: "I don't want to disturb you and make you think I'm a burden."

Song Wendao: "Didn't I move here for this?"

Lu Siyu hummed, then got up, and carefully put the little wolf dozing in his arms into its den.The two of them went to Lu Siyu's room this time, and Song Wen sat by the bed and said, "I'll stay with you for a while, you were sitting alone in the study just now, thinking about a case?"

Lu Siyu hummed: "There are a few points, but I haven't figured it out."

Song Wen looked at Lu Siyu's side face, and suddenly became serious: "If you investigate the case, you should investigate the case. Those people—those who have died or are about to die are like a whirlpool, or like a black hole. It sucks people in. I know you like to bring yourself into reasoning, but this time you must not let yourself fall into it."

Like death and disease, that emotion spreads like a virus and is contagious.

Lu Siyu had recently stopped taking his medicine and his health was not good. It was during an unstable period that he was easily influenced by these people and things.

"Hmm." Lu Siyu's eyes suddenly became wet, it must be the side effect of lack of medicine recently.At least in this world, there are still people who care about him.He turned his back on his back, his fingers still trembling slightly.

Song Wen glanced at Lu Siyu who was lying sideways, and his eyes suddenly sank.In the study room just now, he reached out and touched the power supply of Lu Siyu's laptop. Although it seemed that the computer was turned off, the power supply was still warm.For the case of the Wushan Nursing Home, for Gu Zhibai, for many things, Lu Siyu has his attachments.

Song Wen suddenly hesitated, whether he should continue to move forward, he was getting closer and closer to Lu Siyu's secret.
