The dossier is dated 20 years ago, when Tang Zhexue was just in elementary school.Although the city was full of ups and downs and people were panicked at that time, he really didn't have the slightest impression.

When I opened the file, what caught my eye was a photo of a bloody handprint pinned to the front of the file.It was a bloody handprint printed on the frosted glass. Upon closer inspection, Tang Zhexue found that it was completely different from the bloody handprints left by the victims in the crime scenes or scene photos he had seen before.

Generally speaking, when the murderer struggles, it is very common for the victim to scratch and smear the blood on various places such as glass, walls, floors, and clothes.But the bloody handprint on this photo is complete, with clear edges, covering the glass like a seal.

There are four photos below, all bloody handprints, printed on different media, all with clear edges, like seals.

"This is not the victim's handprint." Tang Zhexue said to Lin Dong, "It's more like the 'mark' left by the murderer."

Lin Dong nodded: "Yes, these five cases are connected by this mark. The size of the handprints are exactly the same. Without fingerprints and palm prints, it is just a bare handprint."

"The murderer was wearing rubber gloves." Tang Zhexue put forward his own speculation while flipping through the file quickly, "Criminals 20 years ago did not have a high awareness of anti-reconnaissance, so the murderer should have a long-term occupation and is used to wearing rubber gloves. It may be doctors, nurses, or people who have worked in biology, chemistry, or precision laboratories for a long time."

"continue."

There was a hint of admiration in Lin Dong's eyes.Yesterday, Fang Bureau came to him and said that he wanted someone to be his assistant, but he refused at first.First of all, the unsolved case team doesn't need any manpower except physical work; secondly, he doesn't want anyone to have anything to do with him, lest the old things happen again; thirdly, he doesn't have the enthusiasm to bring new people.

But when he saw Tang Zhexue's background information, Lin Dong was shaken again.Tang Zhexue's father was his first partner, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a master.Although they only got along for half a year, Old Tang taught him many detours that a novice should avoid.In view of this, he decided to accept Tang Zhexue for half a year.If the other party is a good material for criminal investigation, he will use this short six months to impart all the experience he has accumulated over the years.

If you receive the favor of dripping water, you should repay it with a spring.

"The victim's background investigation shows that they have no connection, and the murderer has no obvious preference for the victim's gender and appearance." Tang Zhexue said to himself, and then turned back to the information of the first victim. , and the slender fingers move down line by line along the content of the file.Looking at the second, third, and last one, he raised his head, and Lin Dong's expectant expression was reflected in his dark pupils.

However, Tang Zhexue was not in a hurry to give his own judgment, but asked Lin Dong to use his laptop to call up the electronic map.At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the camera on the laptop was removed and replaced by a silver-gray plastic sheet similar in color to the casing.

He moved his gaze to Lin Dong's face, and realized that if the camera was still on and connected to the person on the other end of the computer, the other person's angle of view when he saw Lin Dong was exactly the angle he was in--the bangs and glasses took up the On half of his face, all he could see was a narrow and straight nose bridge, dry lips, and a full jawline.

Then he realized something—the office on the second basement floor had no windows, and was surrounded by walls. Only the window on the door, which was not the size of a laptop computer screen, allowed people to see what was going on inside.However, there was still a piece of A4 copy paper with "Unsolved Case Team" posted on the window. Unless you entered through the door seriously, no one would want to know what the people inside were doing.

——Has he been snooped into his privacy?Who is the opponent?What did you see?

"What are you looking for?"

Lin Dong's question pulled Tang Zhexue out of his imagination, he immediately looked back, took a marker pen from the pen holder, and clicked five dots on the screen.Then take a piece of copy paper and cover it, and connect the five points into a circle through the light, and put a slash on it.

"The five crimes took place in a circular area, which is the 'comfort zone' of the murderer. The murderer lived or worked within this circle."

Tang Zhexue buttoned up the cap of the marker pen, and his expression was a bit like a big golden retriever who just finished picking up the slippers for the owner and was waiting to receive the reward.

Lin Dong stared at him for a few seconds, took a brand new file from the side, opened the front page of the file, and showed him an enlarged and printed map that also had a circle: "You are right, but this area With about 15 permanent residents, how do you narrow that down?"

Tang Zhexue blurted out: "Cross-comparison, add the murderer's professional characteristics."

Lin Dong turned to the second page, which was a more detailed map, with crossed buildings on several streets: "These are areas related to the murderer's professional characteristics, and there are about 2 people. And the time After 20 years, why do you think the murderer still lives in this area?"

Tang Zhexue swallowed dryly, and said, "Leader, can you just tell me where the investigation has reached?"

"I just opened this dossier today. You started analyzing it when you went to eat, and you just made it to this point." Lin Dong turned to the third page—there were blank pages at the back.

"..." Tang Zhexue raised his eyebrows, thinking that our IQs are about the same.

"Stuck?" Lin Dong's tone was calm, and he couldn't tell if he was picky or something else.

Tang Zhexue touched his ears and said, "I'll read the file again."

"Let's see when you come back, go out with me first." Lin Dong was about to switch off the screen of his laptop when he suddenly thought of something, "Clean up the graffiti on the screen, no graffiti is allowed in the future."

Tang Zhexue lowered the corners of his mouth, took out a facial tissue and erased the five dots left by the marker on the screen.

------------

While waiting for the elevator with Lin Dong, Tang Zhexue suddenly remembered that he had handed over the gun to the branch when he went through the transfer procedures, so he asked, "Team leader, where can our team go to get the gun?"

Lin Dong's expressionless face was reflected on the polished elevator door: "The cold case team doesn't deserve a gun."

"Ah?" Tang Zhexue was extremely surprised, "I said, the unsolved case team is investigating homicides, right? The suspects are the masters of the crime."

"After locking the suspect, transfer all the investigation materials to the serious crime team, and the serious crime team will coordinate with the special police and the police station where the suspect is located to carry out the arrest."

"But if something unexpected happens—"

"You're not a cop without a gun?"

"..." Tang Zhexue felt as if he saw a white light flashing back from Lin Dong's glasses just now.

Perhaps realizing that his attitude was a bit blunt, Lin Dong softened his tone after stepping into the elevator: "We are positioned as scouts, mainly focusing on interviewing victims and witnesses and collecting evidence, and carrying out the arrest process is not our main business. After all, it is more convenient to hand over the paper work to a department with a formal establishment.”

Oh yes.Tang Zhexue came to his senses.The Unsolved Cases Team is a non-staff department that doesn't even have a budget.Fortunately, the salary is collected at the branch office, he thought.Maybe this department doesn't even have a budget for extra staff, then the city bureau cafeteria will really be full of free steamed buns.

------------

After leaving the lobby door, Tang Zhexue was a little relieved to see Lin Dongben walking in the direction of the parking lot.It's okay, at least a car is allocated to it, and it seems that this department is not poor enough to need to be underpants.

Passing by a Lincoln Navigator, Tang Zhexue's eyes became excited immediately.He really loves this car, with powerful horsepower and large driving space, even with his height of nearly 1.9 meters, he will not feel cramped in the driver's seat.It's a pity that all imported models, with seven-figure prices, can only be seen from a distance, not played with.

Just when Tang Zhexue was reminiscing about the wonderful feeling of test driving this car, he saw Lin Dong open the car door, and he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

——Why are you so rich that you can't bear to hang up your house number?

"Get in the car." Lin Dong gave a brief instruction.

"Team leader...is this car... from the bureau?" After getting into the car, Tang Zhexue asked excitedly, "Let me drive it too."

"Mine."

After starting the car, Lin Dong slammed the accelerator to release more than 400 horsepower from the twin-turbo engine, and rushed out of the parking space with the momentum of a Decepticon.At the same time, there was rock music that knocked Tang Zhexue's heart out of his chest.

"Team leader, is your family a mine?" The drumbeat was so strong that Tang Zhexue had to shout.

Lin Dong didn't seem to hear his question, but reminded: "Fasten your seat belt."

After pulling the seat belt, Tang Zhexue put it behind his back and fastened it.This is his habit, so that he can react quickly when there is an alarm.Lin Dong spotted his movements out of the corner of his eye, and his heartbeat suddenly caught up with the rhythm of rock music.

Once, that person buckled his seat belt behind his back every time he sat in the passenger seat.He reminded the other party countless times, but they were all ignored.But what happened?According to the on-site survey, when a heavy truck hits the Panshan Highway, the first person to die is——

"I'll let you fasten your seat belt!" Lin Dong roared suddenly.

"I'm... connected." Tang Zhexue replied with a guilty conscience.Many old policemen have this habit. His father simply put a clip on the seat belt to save himself from having to pull it every time he gets in and out of the car.

"squeak--"

With a sudden brake, Tang Zhexue was almost photographed on the windshield.He rubbed his knocked knee and looked at Lin Dong with aggrieved eyes: "Team leader..."

He was very eager to send a message to Captain Shi [The team leader is super fierce, what should I do, urgent, online, etc.] in the past.

"This is the consequence of not wearing a seat belt." Lin Dong's expression was extremely solemn, and the rise and fall of his shoulders and chest showed that he was angry. "Seat belts are not for decoration, and don't talk to me about the fallacy of quick response. It's really a matter of life and death. It’s too late to regret it!”

Tang Zhexue buckled his seat belt honestly, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Team leader, can you turn down the music, I can't hear you clearly."

His words made Lin Dong suddenly realize that because he hadn't been with others for a long time, he naturally ignored certain details that should be noticed when getting along with others.He lowered his volume, turned his head to the side, and looked at the person whose expression was stiffened by his attitude, feeling a little guilty.

"Sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have yelled at you."

Tang Zhexue breathed a sigh of relief, and put a smile on his face again: "It's okay, our captain is also quite fierce, and he not only talks fiercely, but also beats people."

Lin Dong turned his head and turned the wheel to merge the car into the driveway.

"I'll hit people too."

He said lightly.
