Jia Shuai hung up the happy call. He picked up the gel pen and twirled it for a while, then dialed Gao Ran's number.

Gao Ran drank a cup of honey tea, dawdled to squat on the toilet, and just squatted down, the mobile phone in his hand rang, he connected, "Hello."

Jia Shuai frowned, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"I just made a sound, how did you hear it?" Gao Ran fell silent, a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and told him, "It's just getting angry and a little constipated."

The wrinkles between Jia Shuai's brows deepened, "I'll send you fructooligosaccharide tomorrow."

Gao Ran didn't ask what it was, "Don't send it, it's not a big problem, I'll be fine if I drink more water, Shuai Shuai, you call me so late, is there something wrong?"

Jia Shuai said he was happy to call him.

Gao Ran took a breath, "It's so fresh."

Jia Shuai asked, "You gave him my number?"

"No, he kept it secretly by himself. It should be what he did tonight." Gao Ran couldn't figure out how to be happy, "Why, did he trouble you?"

Jia Shuai said no, "He wants to be my friend."

"It's terrible." Gao Ran clicked his tongue in disbelief, "It seems that tomorrow I will get up early to take pictures with my mobile phone, and the sun will come out from the west."

There was a slight smile in Jia Shuai's voice, "He asked me if I had seen Feng Bei, and what was my impression, and I said I had, but it wasn't very good, so we became friends, because an enemy's enemy can be a friend."

Gao Ran's shoulders shook, and he laughed loudly, "Your alliance can't beat Feng Bei."

Jia Shuai said calmly, "It may not be true that there will be a fight."

Gao Ran laughed, "You're extremely busy, working part-time and attending classes, how can you have the time."

Jia Shuai was noncommittal.

Gao Ran wrinkled his face while laughing, it hurt.

Jia Shuai said, "Gao Ran, you are too used to being happy. He is proud of being favored and greedy. He wants to occupy you."

Gao Ran knew that when Jia Shuai spoke, his brows were slightly frowned, like an old professor, "His parents are not around him, and he has been with me for the past few years. It is normal to have some dependence. In fact, he is very mature and has his own. His life plan is also following that route, he will have everything as soon as he turns [-], and there is only one person who really treats him well, that is, the rib you mentioned."

Jia Shuai said, "I hope so."

"A lot of homework is not enough for you to worry about." Gao Ran panted slightly, with cold sweat all over his face, "Shuaishai, I'm dead, don't be too tired, if you are embarrassed to ask your dad for living expenses, you can Tell me, I have it."

Jia Shuai heard something unusual, "Where are you?"

Gao Ran said it was outside, he thought for a while and then said, "Feng Bei's family."

The other end stopped talking.

Gao Ran said hello twice, "Where's the person?"

Jia Shuai asked, "You want to spend the night at his house?"

Gao Ran hummed, the closer the person is, the harder it is to hide it, so it's better to reveal it little by little.

Jia Shuai said for a while, "Now I can understand Gao Xing's behavior of calling me. He is standing at the position of a poor puppy left at home by its owner."

Gao Ran twitched, "Your analogy is really..."

"Gao Ran," Jia Shuai called his name, pinched his eyebrows with his slender fingertips and sighed softly, "I still have four years to graduate."

Gao Ran said, "It's okay, time flies quickly."

"Besides, you were the one who wanted to go to the school for undergraduate, master, and doctoral studies. How do you say that, the path you chose, you have to walk on your knees. Come on, future Doctor Jia."

Jia Shuai sighed again, "I regret it now."

They grew up together, stepped into childhood together, set foot on teenagers together, studied together, and went to distant places with their ideals on their backs. They should work together and go on together forever.

A roommate at the other end called Jia Shuai, saying that the lights were going to be turned off, and he went back to the dormitory from the corridor, "Fructose will be sent to you tomorrow, good night."

Gao Ran put the phone on the table, touched the wound on his body, he shuddered in pain, couldn't help shivering, fuck, the crack was worse than expected, it seems that he won't be able to get through without medicine.

Feng Bei knocked on the door, "Are you ready?"

"Okay." Gao Ran dawdled out.

Seeing his dead face, Feng Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked it up and threw it back on the bed.

Gao Ran had a fever, and the temperature went down and up again, repeatedly. He refused to go to the hospital, firmly refused.

Feng Bei had no choice but to stay by the bed and didn't close his eyes all night.

The next day, Gao Ran's energy was mostly recovered, and he was no longer sore or sore, so he went to the kitchen to stretch and said that he would make breakfast for Feng Bei.

Feng Bei went to find a fire extinguisher and prepared it in advance.

Gao Ran didn't make much noise, he boiled the noodles, but put less, only one bowl.

Feng Bei was half-dragged and half-dragged by Gao Ran to the table. He lowered his head and swept the noodle bowl. He stuffed all the ingredients at home, such as a small handful of green onions, a piece of ham sausage, an egg, and a few vegetable leaves. , and a handful of noodles, it looks... not bad.

Gao Ran took the chopsticks and picked out the egg in the noodles. There was a bright yellow in the middle of a large circle of white. The color can be said to be very beautiful. "Look at what this is?"

Feng Bei said, "Eggs."

"Wrong." Gao Ran said, "Poached eggs."

Feng Bei pursed his thin lips and suppressed a smile, "Yes, poached eggs, yes."

Gao Ran brought the noodle bowl to the table in front of the man, "Come, eat."

Seeing that there was only one bowl, Feng Bei said, "Eat first, I'm not hungry, just cook another bowl later or just eat something else."

Gao Ran pulled the man to the chair, pressed his shoulders to let him sit down, and put the chopsticks in his hand, "This is the first time in my life to cook formally, eat quickly."

Feng Bei was flattered.

Gao Ran sat down opposite and watched him eat.

Feng Bei eats very fast. Today, he took almost 10 minutes for a bowl of noodles. He picked up a few noodles and slowly put them into his mouth, and then swallowed them slowly.

Gao Ran watched and shook his head, "Brother Xiaobei, you have shown the reservedness and shyness of a little girl."

"..."

After Feng Bei drank the last sip of noodle soup, the expression on his face was quite subtle.

Gao Ran took a look at the empty bowl, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Feng Bei took a sip of water from his water glass, "Do you want to hear the evaluation of my eating with my heart, or the evaluation of eating with my mouth?"

Gao Ran had a bad premonition, "All of them."

Feng Bei's Adam's apple slipped and his stomach felt uncomfortable. He took another sip of water, "The evaluation of eating with the heart is that the world is delicious, and the evaluation of eating with the mouth is that it is hard to swallow."

Gao Ran didn't believe it, "...is it really so unpalatable?"

Isn't ham sausage a must-have for rookies?As long as there is it, it will be boiled noodles in plain water, and it will taste delicious when eaten. He also puts onions, vinegar, sugar, eggs, vegetables, and everything that can be put.

Feng Bei reached for the cigarette case, "The noodles are mixed with raw, too much salt, sour throat, too much vinegar, sour teeth, too much sugar, the combination of taste is very strange."

Gao Ran is like a deflated leather ball, "Then you still eat?"

Feng Bei smiled with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's purely because you are cute."

Gao Ran has nothing to say.

Feng Bei asked the young man to take the lighter, "I sincerely suggest that next time you cook, try it yourself first, don't add the seasoning all at once, add it little by little, the error rate will be greatly reduced."

"This is different from the picture I imagined." Gao Ran leaned over to light the man's cigarette, he looked disappointed, "I thought you would hold my face and kiss me after you finished the breakfast I made for you, tenderly Look at me and say, 'Honey, you're amazing', and..."

Feng Bei continued, "Then I'll take a broom and sweep the goosebumps off the floor."

Gao Ran gave him a kick.

Feng Bei took the young man to the study room, pointed at the stones he put in the glass jar, "Where did you pick them up?"

"In the mountains." Gao Ran reached into the jar and took out a stone to play with, "The day after I got the university notice, I went to climb the mountain alone."

Feng Bei rubbed the young man's hair, "Why did you go climbing the mountain?"

"I don't know, I suddenly want to go," Gao Ran grinned, "I climbed to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, it's beautiful, next time you go with me."

Feng Bei said, "Okay."

Gao Ran's eyes were black and bright, "I left you a treasure."

Feng Bei asked what it was.

"I won't tell you, when the time comes, you'll go find and dig it yourself." Gao Ranmo rubbed the small stone in his hand, "Brother Xiaobei, there are words on every stone, have you read it?"

Feng Bei tilted his head to smoke, "No."

Gao Ran glanced at his reddish side face, "Lie, look at it."

Feng Bei turned his head back, "If you know it, ask!"

Gao Ran leaned on his shoulder and smiled, "Why do you blush so easily?"

Feng Bei pinched the cigarette away with one hand, and clasped the young man's narrow waist with the other, "Is it itchy?"

"Well," Gao Ran kissed his hot ear, "you scratch it for me."

Feng Bei took a few deep breaths to suppress the irritability. He just kissed the young man on the lips and didn't dare to make any other movements. It's hard to turn off the fire in the early morning, "I put the words on each stone I have checked it together many times, and I am sure there are a few words missing, is there a stone missing?"

Gao Ran took out all the stones and looked at them one by one, knowing which words were missing, he opened his eyes, no, he had to ask Cao Shiyuan to get the stone back.

At the briefing in the morning, the atmosphere was weird.

There is another tooth mark on Feng Dui's ear, I don't know where it is sacred, where he doesn't bite, but he has a special liking for ears.

Gao Ran supported his head with one hand and turned the pen with the other. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a very good mood.

Feng Bei straightened the collar of his shirt, and he asked someone to show a photo of the dismembered corpse at the scene, "The deceased's body was damaged to a high degree, and the time and cause of death cannot be accurately identified, leaving us with so little information that it can be ignored , now we can only rely on speculation.”

Gao Ran turned his pen and said, "Team closure, at 26:[-] pm on May [-], someone saw the deceased leaving the village. This is a verified clue and can be used."

"The factory is two roads away from Shiyuan Village, and there is an open space around it. It is unlikely that the murderer brought a bunch of murder weapons to commit the crime during the day. It should have happened that night." He looked at Feng Bei, "Based on common phenomena. , 07:30 to 90.00:[-] is the peak period of nightlife. After [-]:[-], people's energy will gradually weaken, and their concern for external things will plummet. I have read a hundred cases. During those two time periods, the murderer There is a [-]% chance of choosing the latter."

"One hundred? Yes, Xiao Gao." Zhao Sihai said, "Check to see if the suspect has an alibi from 26:[-] p.m. to midnight on the [-]th."

"The deceased did not necessarily die on the day of disappearance."

"Then find out what the suspect was doing and who he was with during the time period when the deceased was missing."

Feng Bei took a pen and tapped the information on the table a few times, "Has the monitoring of the hospital and the consultation center been dialed out?"

"Tuned." Zhao Sihai said, "According to the confession of the suspect's mother, Zhang Qiuju, she did take the suspect to the hospital at 15:17 am on the [-]th of last month, and she also went in and out of the counseling center on the [-]th. You are right, so far, there is no problem with that confession."

The meeting room fell silent.

"Shouldn't it be checked whether the suspect was bullied|abuse|abuse|treated in childhood or adolescence? It's strange that she can't speak suddenly, and," Gao Ran said, "she looks severely malnourished. "

The other team members discuss.

"Indeed, I've seen that girl with rough and dry yellow hair, big eyes, a thin face, and no flesh on her body, as if she hasn't eaten a full meal, and she can fall down when the wind blows."

"I went to the market to check, and the cross-stitch handicraft work can cost thousands of dollars a month. If you stay up late to catch up with work, you can get about [-]. The suspect's clothes don't look like he likes to compare with his peers. , the mother and daughter live together, so they won’t be so destitute that they can’t afford to eat.”

"As for the suspect's body that is so thin that he can't bear gravity, I don't know how he killed the deceased."

"The perpetrators are minors. There are dozens of cases between the ages of ten and 15, and there are also cases of people with disabilities committing crimes. It is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to calm down and clean up the scene, and continue to live as if nothing happened."

"The motive of the murder is very confusing. It is impossible to kill the person just because the deceased has beautiful hair and the suspect does not have it."

"The case is not broken, anything is possible."

Feng Bei arranged work, "Xiao Li, you and Xiao Zhou go to the suspect's elementary school and junior high school, and ask more questions. Xiao Wang and Fatty go to the suspect's house to inquire about the time period when the deceased disappeared, and see if she is It’s not that there is no evidence of absence, if there is, check the authenticity.”

Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Zhao Sihai asked, "Team closure, what about me?"

Feng Bei got up, "You follow me to the scene."

Zhao Sihai called Gao Ran.

On the road, Gao Ran was driving, Feng Bei was in the passenger seat, the two of them didn't have much eye contact or body contact.

Zhao Sihai in the back seat answered the phone and found that the atmosphere in the car was a bit... I don't know how to describe it, but it was unusual. He cleared his throat, "Team closure, Reporter Zheng said he was going to take pictures at the scene."

Feng Bei said, "Send someone to follow."

Zhao Sihai said yes, and after he finished his orders, he said, "Reporter Zheng is a good man, and he has literary talents, which is not bad."

No one cares.

Not long after, Gao Ran spoke in an overly silent atmosphere, "I have a question here, are Team Feng and Brother Zhao interested in using their brains?"

Zhao Sihai was curious, "What question? Tell me, and I will analyze it for you with Team Feng."

"Once Xiao Ming bought a pack of crab cucumber and melon seeds, and poured them all into a fresh-keeping bag for the convenience of eating." Gao Ran paid attention to the road conditions, "He tied the mouth of the fresh-keeping bag tightly, and put the melon seeds under the computer desk. Two days later, I opened the bag and ate it at the keyboard, and found a live maggot inside."

"A few points to add. First, when Xiao Ming discovered the maggots, he saw a small hole in the fresh-keeping bag, half the size of a fingernail. Second, the bag was in a drawer in the kitchen before he put it under the computer desk. For most of the day, three or two days, he would eat some longan every day, and the shells would be piled up next to the bag of melon seeds, and he would sweep the shells into the garbage basket at night when he turned off the computer."

Gao Ran said with a smile, "After supplementing, guess where the maggots came from?"

"The melon seeds are vacuum-packed, and there are maggots in them, and they are still alive," Zhao Sihai swallowed. He didn't analyze directly, but was concerned about a very important matter, "Xiao Gao, didn't you eat it?"

Gao Ran turned his face, "Brother Zhao, the protagonist of this case is not me, but Xiao Ming."

Zhao Sihai cooperated, "Xiao Ming didn't eat?"

Gao Ran turned the steering wheel, "Xiao Ming ate a handful."

Feng Bei said, "That small handful has a 50.00% chance of having maggots in it."

Zhao Sihai retched.

Gao Ran secretly pinched the man's finger, Brother Zhao almost stopped cooking, "Analyze, where did the maggots come from?"

Zhao Sihai couldn't help, he had a bad stomach, and was so disgusted by the picture he made up in his brain that he couldn't complain.

Feng Bei asked, "What's in the kitchen drawer?"

Gao Ran said, "It's just some convenient bags for storing things."

"Then exclude the drawer." Feng Bei said, "Maggots in the longan are a relatively common phenomenon. When Xiao Ming plays the computer, his attention is on the screen. He peels the shell and throws it under the table casually. There are maggots in it. I don't see it, I think the maggot crawled out of the shell, and there was a small hole in the bag, and it got in."

Gao Ran asked, "Why doesn't it come with melon seeds?"

"It's less likely than longan shells." Feng Bei raised his eyebrows, "At least it's vacuum-packed."

"What's wrong with the vacuum packaging, I have eaten live maggots in the chocolate, wriggling one by one." Zhao Sihai continued to retch after finishing speaking.

Feng Bei glanced at the young man beside him, "You didn't mention one thing just now, whether the melon seeds have expired or not."

Gao Ran said, "There is no such item."

Feng Bei, "..."

"The answer I filled out for this question was in the longan shell." Gao Ran said, "Wrong."

Zhao Sihai said, "That means there are maggots growing in the melon seeds."

Gao Ran said, "It's not right either."

Feng Bei frowned, "In the drawer?"

"Yes," Gao Ran said, "There are maggots in the drawer. I checked the convenience bags and found out that there is a bad smell. I put oranges in the drawer before, and they rotted and gave birth to maggots, which crawled into the corner."

"..."

The less likely it is, the more likely it is, and sometimes the answer that is least likely to be the answer is the correct answer.

The car was parked by the side of the road, Gao Ranfeng Bei Zhao Sihai and the three went to the scene.

Zhao Sihai went to the suspect's house, and Feng Bei grabbed a piece of dog's tail grass and gave it to Gao Ran.

Gao Ran put it in his mouth subconsciously, and when he saw the man looking at him, he spat out the grass, "Huh?"

Feng Bei motioned him to look around, "How much time would it take to weed out all the dog's tail grass?"

Gao Ran said, "Machine is fast, but manual work is slow."

Feng Bei called someone to weed.

People in this area use gas stoves in their homes, and they don’t burn firewood. The dogtail grass can only be piled up into mountains and set on fire.

The land was exposed, and the technical department rushed over to survey it inch by inch.

Gao Ran stood side by side with Feng Bei, puffing out the clouds, "What's going on under the ground, the murder weapon?"

"I don't know." Feng Bei said lazily, "Maybe there is nothing, maybe there is everything."

Saying it means not saying it.

Seeing that no one was looking at this side, Gao Ran drank from the man's water glass.

Feng Bei scraped off the sweat on the tip of his nose, "Is there any discomfort on your body?"

"No." Gao Ran wiped his mouth casually, "I don't feel any more now, and I will go home with you at night."

Feng Bei's complexion tensed, "No."

Gao Ran took a sip of water and sprayed it out, "Why?"

Feng Bei said seriously, "At least every other day, I'm afraid too often will be bad for your health."

"Another day?" Gao Ran said coldly, "No."

He lowered his voice, his eyes were burning, "If I didn't have to investigate the case during the day, I would have spent the whole day with you."

"..." All day long, just wait until you die.

"I know what you're going to say." Gao Ran imitated the man's elder-like tone, with a mocking smile in his eyes, "For food, you have to eat one bite at a time, and for love, you have to make it day by day, there is no rush."

Feng Bei couldn't help laughing, he smoothed the young man's messy collar, and sighed helplessly, "Little brat, I think you are tired of working, for your own good, you still have fun with me."

Gao Ran smiled innocently, "I just like to play with you."

When Feng Bei heard this, the veins on his forehead twitched. He was teasing him deliberately. Since the reunion, he has been teasing him in different ways, and he has been dishonest for a day.

Gao Ran saw two figures, one was Zhao Sihai and the other was Weiwei, he clicked his tongue, "Brother Zhao is so hot that he is about to suffer from heat stroke."

Feng Bei shouted, "Xiao Zhao, are you alright?"

Zhao Sihai waved his hands, his face was so hot that it was almost burnt, he cursed as he walked, "Damn weather, it's so hot!"

Weiwei's face was still pale, and she didn't sweat. She seemed to be in a warm and pleasant spring and autumn, not a sunny summer.

Zhao Sihai smacked his mouth and asked curiously, "Little sister, aren't you hot?"

Weiwei stopped to look at the scorching sun above her head, she covered her forehead with her hands, and narrowed her eyes.

Zhao Sihai thought to himself, this child is almost transparent.

Not long after walking, Weiwei stopped again. What she was looking at was not the sun, but Gao Ran.

Gao Ran observed the changes in Weiwei's expression.

Zhao Sihai reported to Feng Bei that the team members who had questioned had the results. During the period when the deceased disappeared, Weiwei was sleeping at home and never went out.

The witness is her mother, Zhang Qiuju, and there is a high possibility of perjury for her.

Feng Bei said, "You take her to the scene."

Zhao Sihai took two steps this time, "Team seal, do you think the suspect is closer to Xiao Gao than to others?"

He looked at the girl who was shaking her head at Gao Ran, "I was looking for topics to talk to her along the way, but she didn't respond, she didn't nod, shake her head, cry or laugh, just like a dummy."

Feng Bei also looked over.

The young man was talking to the girl, and even rubbed her yellow hair.

Zhao Sihai made a suggestion, "Seal the team. When we go back to interrogate the suspects, why don't we let Xiao Gao come? I remember that he has researched psychology, and it doesn't matter how easy it is to break people's hearts. He just graduated and is a newcomer. Everything is new." , the method used must be different from those of us old people, and there may be unexpected results."

Feng Bei said we'll see when the time comes.

"It is now determined that the suspect's absence from school is the same month as the deceased's disappearance, one on the 26th and the other on the [-]th."

Zhao Sihai said, "But there are many doubts about the time she can't speak."

"The suspect is withdrawn and introverted, and she rarely speaks at ordinary times. Whether at school or at home, she has no playmates. After leaving school, she spends most of her time at home, helping Zhang Qiuju with work, and occasionally going out for a walk. No one greeted her, and the people around were used to it, so they didn't know that she couldn't speak."

"Zhang Qiuju said that her daughter suddenly became unable to speak on the fifteenth day of last month. This time can be faked."

Feng Bei took his eyes away from the young man and the girl, and he pondered, "Further investigation and investigation, as long as there is evidence that Zhang Qiuju lied, it will be easy to deal with later."

"By the way, is Sun Laoshi unusual?"

Zhao Sihai shook his head, "Sun Laoshi's regular card friends have all checked and found no clues."

Feng Bei saw the young man conjuring a candy like magic, the girl covered her mouth and smiled, the picture was very clean and innocent, his brows twitched.

In broad daylight, the light in the factory was still not bright, it was extremely hot, and the air was still very turbid. Once a living person entered, it was very uncomfortable.

Zhao Sihai picked up Weiwei's collar and lifted her inside, "Do you have any impression of this place?"

Weiwei struggled, kept making ahhh noises, looked at Gao Ran begging for help, with tears in his eyes.

Gao Ran stood where he was, without moving.

Every policeman has his own set of investigation methods, Zhao Sihai is investigating, he is not easy to interfere.

Zhao Sihai referred Weiwei to the place where the dismembered body was found, "Two months ago, from 26:[-] p.m. The tool shredded her flesh and stripped her bones, remember?"

"Still haven't remembered?" He dragged Weiwei to the ground, "Your mother is too busy taking over manual work to support the family and has no time to take care of your studies and life. Seeing Pomegranate who lives behind your house being beaten and scolded by Sun Laoshi, maybe even seeing their intimate ||, you start to pay attention to Pomegranate."

Weiwei is still looking at Gao Ran.

Gao Ran's throat tightened, and he walked over, coaxing softly, "Weiwei, you found out that Pomegranate is just like you and has no friends, so you started to regard her as your kind, right?"

Weiwei waved her hand in the air, she wanted to grab something.

Gao Ran felt that she wanted to catch herself, "Pomegranate has mental retardation, and people around her laughed at her. Such a poor girl comforted you who were also isolated. You felt that you were needed. Slowly, you became friends. , friends only you know, because it's your secret."

"You made an appointment with Shiliu to meet here that day. She valued you as the only friend, so before going out, she put on her favorite hair clips, put on her favorite clothes, and cooked you your favorite meals. You are the same as usual. Just kidding, what happened next? Why did you hang her?"

Zhao Sihai winked at Feng Bei, and Xiao Gao insisted on hanging this guess.

Feng Beitou gave a calm look.

Weiwei was trembling all over, her face was full of tears, and she kept making "ahhh" sounds, which seemed to be angry or fearful.

Feng Bei took out a bag containing physical evidence, "Weiwei, do you still recognize this thing?"

When Weiwei saw the hairpin in the bag, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she bit Zhao Sihai's hand.

Zhao Sihai loosened his restraint, and Weiwei ran away.

Gao Ran and Feng Bei chased after her and found her running in the direction of the bristlegrass field.
