Mysterious case search [criminal investigation]

When we arrived near Keketuohai, it was already [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time, but the sky here was just beginning to get dark and still remained at dusk.

The two people who came from the standard Beijing time zone were already very hungry at the moment. They drove straight to the hotel they booked on the road, put down their things in a room for each person, and hurried out to find something to eat.

The town is not big, and there are common halal ramen shops on the side of the road within a few steps of the hotel.The two of them randomly found a place to go in and ordered two servings of mixed noodles and a few skewers of roast lamb, all of which were fast and filling, and the store quickly prepared them and served them to the table.The two of them hadn't spoken since they entered the store except ordering food. As soon as the noodles came up, they ate them with their heads down. Half of the plate of noodles went down. The two breathed a sigh of relief as if they had made an appointment. .

"I feel like the two of us are reincarnated like starving ghosts." Yan Mu's smile was full of heroism when he smiled with thick eyebrows.

Qi Chuchen wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Who said it wasn't? I didn't feel it when I was driving on the road. When I stopped, I felt so hungry that I was about to gnaw on the steering wheel. Fortunately, there are preserved fruits on the road, otherwise I guess our car would have been eaten." I ate half of it."

Finally not so hungry, the two of them began to eat noodles and kebabs slowly.They started chatting about tomorrow's plans, most of the time Yan Mu was talking, and Qi Chuchen replied "Well, yes" or something like that.

After dinner, the sunset finally burned out, and the night began to fall gradually. The two decided to take a walk around.On the way, Yan Mu roughly mentioned the general plan of the route for the next few days. Qi Chuchen still listened carefully and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, no questions at all, no objections. I will follow you wherever you drive." What do you mean.After Qi Chuchen said "yes" again, Yan Mu smiled,

"You don't ask anything, just follow me, don't you be afraid that I will sell you? Although this is the Western Region, there is still a market for a Han man like you."

Qi Chuchen was overjoyed when he heard the compliment,

"As a senior criminal police officer, I think you should be at a slight disadvantage in terms of melee combat and criminal strategy, so it's good not to say who sells whom." Qi Chuchen blinked his eyes after speaking.

Yan Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The rest of the road will be taken care of by Officer Qi."

"Good talk, good talk."

The town is not very big, except for the small grocery store, the others are small miscellaneous stores and the like. There are less than ten stores in one piece, and there is nothing else to go shopping.The two walked around to see that the sky was getting dark, and then walked to the hotel.

When Qi Chuchen walked to the entrance of the hotel lobby and was about to open the door, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took out the mobile phone and looked at it, waved to Yan Mu, pointed to the mobile phone and signaled Yan Mu to go back to the room first, then picked up the phone and turned to the hotel go outside.

"Have you arrived in Xinjiang?" It was Zhang Chao.

"Is it time to notify me to come back to work?" Qi Chuchen raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"Ancestor, I beg you, our workload has been very stable recently, please shut your crow's mouth. Don't think about work, please have fun. I just want to see that you haven't moved for two or three days, please take care of me Are you here? You are still on sick leave, please don't be so dedicated to your job, as your immediate boss, I am under a lot of pressure." Zhang Chao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that Qi Chuchen was thousands of miles away and still thinking about returning to the team.

"Don't worry, I will never usurp the throne. Since I'm not busy, why did you think of calling me at this point? Are you just off work?" Qi Chuchen had a doubt in his heart.

"The two brigades below have recently received a murder case, and the current progress is not going well. Today, I gathered them together and held a separate meeting to diverge our thoughts." During the speech, Zhang Chao's microphone came from the road. hustle and bustle.

"Is it a joint investigation or is it completely independent? You didn't drive today?" Qi Chuchen always felt that Zhang Chao hadn't finished speaking.

"Yes, I'm limiting numbers today. At present, there is no obvious basis for merging the two cases. I still prefer to investigate separately as independent cases first, and we will discuss later if there is an intersection. But even if the case is merged, you should not be forced to come back. When the time comes If there is any situation, we can communicate in time, as long as you have not entered the primeval forest and there is no signal, there will be no delay. You have not been on vacation for a long time, so play with peace of mind. With me, more than two people did not die I won’t call you back even for the case, so don’t worry.” Zhang Chao continued to reassure Qi Chuchen, “The bus is here, so I’ll hang up first, and the place over there is sparsely populated. Pay attention to your own safety and drive carefully.”

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need anything." Qi Chuchen hung up the phone.Before hanging up the phone, he wanted to ask Zhang Chao to pass on the situation of the two cases to him, but he thought that Zhang Chao would definitely disagree, so he didn't mention it.I simply stood there holding my phone, opened several news apps, local forums, and Weibo to search one by one. After looking around, I found that there was not a single word about the murder case in Fengqi City on the Internet in the past one or two months, and there was no public opinion reaction at all, indicating that The social impact of these two cases is not very bad, and the police have done a relatively good job of keeping secrets. At least there will be much less unnecessary interference in the investigation and handling in the future.

After dialing the phone for a long time, my fingers suddenly felt a slight chill. Looking at the watch, more than 40 minutes had passed, the sky was completely dark, and the temperature dropped significantly.Qi Chuchen rubbed his arms, pocketed his mobile phone, and walked quickly to the hotel lobby.

A guest room on the third floor had a faint orange light, and a tall and straight man stood by the window.For as long as Qi Chuchen stood downstairs, he stood by the window and watched for a long time. He didn't close the curtains until Qi Chuchen walked into the hotel. He shook his head slightly, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. .

At six o'clock the next morning, there was a light knock on Qi Chuchen's door. Qi Chuchen opened the door and saw Yan Mu standing outside, "Pack it up, let's go."

Qi Chuchen went back to the room to get his bag, went out and walked down the stairs side by side with Yan Mu, went to the hotel lobby to complete the check-out procedures, and then got in the car and drove south.

Before dawn, Yan Mu looked at the dark blue sky far in front of the car, and checked the time: "Well, there should be a sunrise today. If we don't rush the time, let's go slowly."

It was too early to see a car along the way.More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Keke Suli.The two got out of the car and walked slowly towards the gate of the scenic spot.

The staff has not gone to work yet, but the door is not a real door, but a few stainless steel fences are staggered to block it, more like a diversion effect, so naturally there is no lock.

At this moment, the sky has already brightened more than half, and a trace of red morning glow begins to appear in the sky.

Enter the gate and walk in gradually. The blue lake in front of you is getting bigger and bigger. On the grassland in the middle, there are early cattle and sheep grazing; on the other side of the lake, there is a large piece of grassland, and white yurts stand in it;

Yan Mu walked a little ahead, looked at the surrounding scenery, and chose a position facing the lower mountain and lake, Qi Chuchen followed and walked a few steps forward, and stood by the water.

Waves and waves of the cocosuli water under his feet gently caressed Qi Chuchen's feet, as if to wash away the dust of his journey and the glory of his life.

The morning glow in the sky gradually turned into wisps, and then into pieces.When the morning glow was shining red all over the sky, the golden sun radiated dazzling light and slowly rose from the other side of the mountain, rising little by little.The calm water surface is like the tender hands of a girl, carefully receiving all the light, and generously dedicating it to the gulls, red geese, gray cranes hidden in the reeds... A group of sleeping swans are awakened, flapping their white wings, from The water glides across.

The sun is still slowly rising, the reeds are floating, sand gulls, swans, and red geese are dancing, and pairs of wild ducks are chasing on the water. Yan Mu gently raised his camera to freeze the beautiful scenery of travelers at this moment.

The sun finally broke away from the mountains completely, and ran to a higher sky, spreading its light to a wider land.A sunrise is only a few minutes, no more than ten minutes at most, but it seems to have experienced two lives: from night to day, from silence to noise, how many buildings are in the mist and rain, how many flowers are full of branches, the journey of life has no end .

"It is said that there was a beautiful girl who lived in a distant heavenly palace. Day after day, year after year, a spring evening girl was wearing a white tunic, leaning against a veil, drowsy, and saw a The handsome young man in black robe galloped up and knelt down in front of the tent." Yan Mu walked to Qi Chuchen's side.

"The young man expressed his longing for the young girl frankly and enthusiastically, and invited the young girl to live with him in the mortal world." Yan Mu looked sideways at Qi Chuchen, who did not turn his head, and was still looking at the red sun in the distance ,

"He described to the girl the colorful mortal life, the flocks of cattle and sheep, the fragrance of flowers in all seasons, the joyful singing and dancing of the enthusiastic people, where there is no boundless loneliness, no bone-chilling solitude. The girl is willing to follow the boy down to earth, but she is met by God. The father stopped, the girl was willing to give up everything and follow the boy, the angry father punished the girl and turned the girl into a white swan, and the boy became a black swan. The girl turned into a swan when she left the heavenly palace and fell to Kekesuli , I saw the boy who turned into a black swan in the lake. The boy said, I have admired you for a long time. I broke into the Heavenly Palace, but I never thought that you would give up your fairy body and come with me. The girl said, I will have no regrets with you for the rest of my life. Since then, they have lived in this lake, and this place has become the hometown of swans." Yan Mu gently told a beautiful legend, the two stood side by side by the water, looking at the mountains in the distance, green land still rising A yurt covered with cooking smoke.

Time seemed to stand still, they had been standing side by side like this for some time, until the crowing of swans in mid-air and wild ducks in the lake became louder and louder, and finally returned to the mortal body like a wandering soul. Go to the shore.

This sunrise will occupy a corner in my heart, will it leave a memory in my life?
