Hunting down the Northwest Wilderness

Fang Lingshu has always believed in the universality of the principle of love. When two people are in an environment similar to love, they can use the theory of emotional operation to guide their relationship.

It sounds complicated.He explained it to his teammates like this: "Have you ever heard of the rope effect? ​​A man and a woman went up the suspension bridge together, and their hearts were pounding with fright. At this time, the boy pulled the girl's hand, oh my god, Here comes love."

Everyone was in a trance, not knowing what was going on.

"These two people feel as if they are in love, but they are not. It is their heartbeat and nervous reaction, which is too similar to the feeling given by love. At this time, when a boy pulls a girl's hand, the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will make them Feeling -- I'm not in danger, but in the thrill of being emotionally heated. Only in this way can they calm down and then maintain a good state to cross this suspension bridge."

The same is true for Fang Lingshu and Liang Xu now.They are like men and women in love, they maintain a high degree of attention to each other, each of them has their own ghosts, they want each other to understand their intentions, but they are afraid of being guessed by the other party.

"So what about Lingshu? How are you going to pick him up?"

"Fuck your mother, I want to chill him out. If he takes the initiative to date me, then in order to show his sincerity in dating me, he will offer me something I am interested in. This is the instinct of male animals, hundreds of millions of years old It is engraved in the genes and cannot be changed.”

"My God, Brother Fang, I've known you for a few years, and I can soak up girls in Chang'an City once."

Fang Lingshu just smiled: "I forgot to tell you the premise. This principle only applies to attractive people. Only handsome men and beautiful women can play like this. As for you, you are cowardly and stupid. Cherish your current girlfriend." ! People don’t know why they are so blind that they fell in love with you!”

After a burst of laughter, several people asked him: "Are you going to work with us today?"

"Of course! Come pick me up! My car is out of gas!" Fang Lingshu confessed in the group again: "Are you also watching the surveillance of the streets on the night of the 27th?"

"Yeah, didn't your dad arrange it? My eyes are swollen."

"He is right. Anyway, I have drawn Liang Xu's outfit that day for you. Pay attention to comparison. He is not an invisible person, and he can always be found."

Visiting is always difficult, they braved Xia Fu's tail, shuttling in the streets and alleys.The summer in Guanzhong is like this. It takes a continuous autumn rain to really cool down, but the autumn rain is delicate and reserved, and always refuses to come.

Accompanied by Chang'an's angry summer, there are only sporadic sandstorms.

Fang Lingshu applied [-] coats of ANAX on himself, and also sprayed on the girl who was traveling with her.The girl's skin is delicate after all, after a few days of investigation, her face is like a boiled shrimp, always red.

"Wow, it's so cool." The boys joked, "Another on-site pick-up class!"

"Yes." Fang Lingshu said without embarrassment, "Xiaoyue, if you don't have a date at 30, remember to think about me!"

Xiaoyue enjoys the sunscreen spray with peace of mind: "Let's line up! Those chasing my old lady line up from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the bell tower. Go to the bell tower and wait."

——They have to use such teasing to relieve their anxiety.Many eyes are watching this case, and the masses always feel that the police are incompetent. Why can't they catch such a murderer? !

Yes ah, the vast sea of ​​people, the evidence is hard to find.Doubt is easy, reasoning is easy, but "evidence" is so rare!This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can it be described as "difficult".

At the end of the day, Fang Lingshu also felt that he was falling apart.

This night, Fangzheng was on duty at the military bureau, and no one had heated up the solar energy for him when he got home, so Fang Lingshu had to turn on the electricity first, wait for the water, and see if Liang Xu had sent any news.

Liang Xu didn't move at all.

You can hold your breath, this guy, or do you not have enough bargaining chips?Or was he already convinced that the police couldn't seize any evidence?

Fang Lingshu's mind was full of Liang Xu, he took off his clothes and played in front of the air conditioner.

The phone rang.

But not Liang Xu.Fang Lingshu glanced at it, then switched off the phone.

Five minutes later, the phone rang again.

This time he didn't pinch, he held the phone up to his face and watched the name blink on the screen.

The phone rang incessantly.

For some unknown reason, he put on his clothes before answering the phone call.

There was a calm male voice on the other end of the phone. When he picked it up, the other end said decisively first: "Don't hang up on me, I know you are waiting for me."

Fang Lingshu didn't speak.

Hearing his breathing, the other party smiled: "I hope you are not busy. I calculated the time when you get off work, and waited for another two hours before I mustered up the courage to call you."

If the two have never met before, then Fang Lingshu would give this voice full marks. His voice is gorgeous and pleasant, with a gentle and gentlemanly attitude, gentle to the point of humility—a kind of humility that bends down because of self-confidence , just like the tone of an adult doting on a child.They are naturally confident, so they accommodate others arrogantly, and are used to condescending to everything with a humble attitude.I have to say that pride and gentleness are their charm points, even if they see through, they are still very charming.

This kind of person can hook up with friends just by sound alone, and listening to him is a kind of enjoyment.

Of course, his tone is too seductive, and his speech manner is too gentle, people with a bit of experience will be wary of him, and perfection is always daunting and daunting.Therefore, a little imperfection is naturally added to his enunciation. His enunciation is a bit blunt, and he is the type who can speak Chinese, but is not proficient.He spoke with a little of the big tongue that foreigners often have, which is an extra clumsy taste.

"We are all friends." Fang Lingshu said with a smile: "I also want to call you, but I'm too busy recently and don't have time."

The other end hesitated for a moment: "Lingshu, I still prefer you to call me 'ex-boyfriend'." He sighed: "The ex may still get back together, it's too scary to be friends."

"...Can you talk properly?"

Fang Lingshu was afraid of his sleazy strength. If Fang Lingshu himself was a contrived talent, Kevin Zou would be his sleazy ancestor.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

"I've read what you sent." Kevin said, "This suspect is really handsome, he's more handsome than me."

"I didn't come here to hear you jealous." Fang Lingshu said, "I want to help with your profiling analysis, and I want to discuss other possibilities of this case with you."

"Frankly speaking, I'm in a complicated mood." The other end of the phone insisted: "I really didn't expect that you even used sex to seduce."

"He's much more handsome than me." Fang Lingshu said honestly, "It was he who seduced me if he wanted to seduce me. With my beauty, I can't seduce him."

There was an "oh" on the other end of the phone, meaningfully.

Fang Lingshu had no choice but to change his serious tone: "This case is urgent, and the local government is very nervous. You know, it's not a major case, and I won't bother you to discuss it."

Kevin also changed his tone: "Then, let's talk about your opinion first."

Fang Lingshu then described Liang Xu's general situation, and then made a brief statement based on his understanding of the basic case: "I have listed the specific details to you in the email. There are too many details-at that time, I and It was his first meal, and I deliberately asked him how Yimi Yangguang was, but he was so pure that he immediately replied that Yimi Yangguang was not at Mingdemen."

Yimi Sunshine is at the gate of Cuiwei Garden.

"Obviously, he is very familiar with Cuiwei Garden. Eyewitnesses also proved this point." Fang Lingshu said: "Let's not discuss the evidence for now, but only make doubtful inferences. In fact, Liang Xu made a big mistake , For his father's death, he tried to appear very sad, but he agreed to my invitation, including all subsequent reactions, gave me a feeling, summed up in four words, is 'the big thing is over'."

"That sums it up well."

"He had many reasons to reject me, but he didn't mention the most important reason-if he was really sad, he shouldn't come out to play with me anymore-the death of his father was no longer a heart for him. Done."

"Yes, you did a good job channeling his true state."

"No, no, no, don't rush to praise me. It's not my fault. His emotions have existed since the first time he saw me. He has been relieved from the grief of losing his father, so he removed it that day. Lost filial piety - if this judgment is correct, then can I boldly speculate that on the night of the 27th, he had already avenged his father."

"True, but he also needed a reason to explain his relaxed state, so he subconsciously chose 'I'm going to live.' Instead of 'I'm going to get revenge.'"

"But the doubt now is that he appeared in the Internet cafe after eleven o'clock, and I was the witness, and the time of Lu Shigang's death must be pushed back by at least three hours. How can this time be explained?"

Kevin thought for a while: "In fact, he is very likely to be innocent, and you are questioning him from the standpoint of guilt."

Fang Lingshu answered firmly: "There is no doubt in solving the case, and there is no doubt in judging the case. If he is suspected, I have the right to doubt."

"It's so pitiful." Mr. Zou said: "He seems to really regard you as a friend, but you are trying to pin the crime of murder on him."

"I don't have the hobby of sympathizing with murderers." Fang Lingshu replied: "Liang Xu is pitiful, isn't the deceased pitiful? He can still play ball and drink tea with me freely, while the deceased can only lie in the freezer and wait." Next round of autopsy."

Mr. Zou sighed helplessly: "You are still the same, cold and cunning, but cute and charming."

"Can you choose an appropriate time to confess?"

Kevin stopped teasing: "So now it's my turn to talk. Pivot, are you sure you want to listen?"

"Let it go if you fart."

"I want to say that you are very unfair to this suspect." Kevin said: "Like your father, you are subconsciously protecting him."

Fang Lingshu became interested in the novel position: "Let's talk."

The other end of the phone was unhurried, first there was a crisp "click" of the lighter, and the crackling sound of tobacco leaves burning, and then he asked sideways, "Lingshu, are you wearing glasses?"

"Oh, yes."

"You can guess it just by hearing the voice." Mr. Zou laughed: "I can imagine your serious look, wearing glasses, you are very cute."

"Am I going to hang up?"

"Don't worry, let me finish this one."

"Damn it, do you think I can't tell it's a cigar?! Smoking and talking!"

"I'm really impatient." Mr. Zou said with a smoke in his mouth, "Being a criminal police officer, you have to be patient."

Having teased him enough, he put the cigar aside and began his speech slowly:

"You all focus on the time of death, and you think the time of death is when the victim was attacked. But there are many factors that can make a difference in the time of death."

"You mean, Liang Xu attacked Lu Shigang, but didn't kill him completely?"

"Look, you are covering him up again, giving him the presumption of innocence at every turn." Kevin twisted a cigarette: "Let's put this aside for now. Let's observe the common killing pattern of the Jinchuan case and the Qujiang case—binding, and Manipulating the corpses to make them kneel is an obvious sanctioning attitude, which means a trial for the victims. In other words, for the murderer, the dead are guilty.”

"I understand this."

"But from another perspective, binding also means the fear of the victims. They are suspicious of their own motives for killing, and they are afraid that the deceased will resist, so they bind the corpse. If Liang really avenged his father, he When killing people, one should not have doubts about one's own motives. His age and strength are far superior to Lu's, so there is no need to resort to such frivolous means."

"So he deliberately imitated the modus operandi of the Jinchuan case, trying to mislead the police into thinking in the direction of serial killing?"

"Yes, and, as you said, he may still have the idea of ​​'removing harm for the people'. He thinks that Lu is the murderer in the Jinchuan case, or he wants to ask whether Lu is the real murderer."

"Liang Xu wants to attract the attention of the real murderer, if the real murderer is still alive."

"Smart, baby. I can't help but kiss you if you're around me."

"If you fart again, I'll die."

"I want you to be happy, because the following content may make you unhappy." Kevin said slowly: "The above are inferences of criminal motives. But from a medical point of view, binding is a kind of rescue measure—I Looking at the photos you sent, the place where the tie happened to pass through the artery of the deceased, if the first knife was stabbed in the chest, then the tie he received could actually help him stop the bleeding."

"..."

"Liang had enough time to leave the scene before the deceased died. After that, a second person showed up at the murder scene and, for motives unknown to us, cleaned up the scene."

Fang Lingshu remained silent.

"This may not be the crime committed by one person. On the contrary, it may be a real serial case. Liang murdered Lu, and the second person completed the decoration of the death scene. Then, this is a joint crime. The inertial thinking of the Jinchuan case Let you think that this case must be completed by one person alone, so when you can't infer that the suspect committed the crime, you take him for granted as innocent."

"Yes...but it's not like I haven't thought about it that way."

"Speaking of which, I really want to know that there are countless possibilities in the Jinchuan case, why the police are so convinced that it was committed by one person alone?" Kevin's voice contained sharp severity: "Where is the evidence? This blind confidence continues After 15 years, why are you not willing to investigate in other directions?"

"That's what I'm chasing now—"

Kevin cut him off: "Listen to me first—or, Liang alone murdered Lu's family, and with his medical knowledge, delayed Lu's death, he was taken over by Lu Diluo with an air conditioner. Blood to keep the crime scene clean." A flipping voice came from the other end of the phone: "It is stated in the materials you sent that this suspect is a master's student studying at a medical university, and he fully possesses such knowledge and technology. He just needs to go back to the scene in the early hours of the morning when you are asleep, and create the illusion of a throat slit."

"You're right." Fang Lingshu said with difficulty.

"I believe that the forensic doctor should have made a similar guess, and you, as a professional criminal investigator, should also see this. But you and your father and your colleagues are subconsciously avoiding this question. You think 'Not guilty at the wrong time'." Kevin said: "You can't help but protect the suspect."

There was a long silence.

"Yes, I really hope he's innocent." Fang Lingshu said, "If you see him with your own eyes, you'll know that he's really upright. He's so kind that you can't bear to deceive him. Even if he's guilty, I still believe he has his integrity." irresistible reason."

"It is indeed a dilemma. So I am very reluctant to say the above." Kevin said softly: "If I say it, it seems that I am jealous and slander him. If I don't say it, I am ashamed of my professionalism and conscience. There is a Chinese idiom that balances two evils and chooses the lesser, I can only choose the axiom.”

"What jealousy?"

"As a man's instinctive jealousy." This time it's not a teasing attitude: "Lingshu, I don't know what kind of charisma this suspect is, but you obviously have a special interest in him."

"You will get it wrong." Fang Lingshu said helplessly: "He is just too pure. People are like this. If he is a little more cunning and cunning, then I will deceive him with a clear conscience. But he is really pure, so I I feel ashamed, so I always unconsciously hope to treat him better."

Even if it's just hope.

"I can understand that it's not your fault." Kevin's tone was tender and sentimental: "The law only judges guilt and innocence, but morality focuses on whether it is reasonable or not."

Then, after a little consideration, he decided to speak out: "But you have to imagine another unpleasant possibility, that is, Liang is also using you. He used his upright appearance to earn your sympathy."

Fang Lingshu had nothing to say.

This is also what he is most worried about.

"I hope this is just my malicious conjecture." There was another crisp sound of the lighter from Kevin's end: "After all, I am full of hostility towards him."

……Again.

"Really, Zou, can you stop making a surprise attack while we're analyzing the case?" Fang Lingshu broke down a bit: "I'll say it again, I really don't mean that to him, and I'm not lonely enough to see him." Is it okay for me to get spring when I am alone?"

"I just want to ease your mood." Mr. Zou said softly: "I hope you will succeed immediately, but I'm afraid that you will be hurt—in any way."

Physically, mentally, in various ways, but piercing the truth always comes with hurt.

"Lingshu, are you still thinking that the real culprit of the Jinchuan case may be hidden behind this case?"

"Yes, I believe my father thinks the same way." Fang Lingshu said, "We are all using Liang Xu to try to catch the real culprit through him—this is another thing I feel ashamed of him. "

"15 years, you guys are crazy."

"The unsolved case is still unsolved, and if it is placed in the United States, will the FBI ignore it?"

"It's hard to say." Kevin rubbed his forehead: "The FBI in the movie will investigate to the end, but not necessarily in the real America."

"The Chinese police will definitely investigate, at least the Chang'an police will, at least I will, and so will my father."

"You're sick, Spirit Pivot."

"No."

"Yes, you are sick, your father is sick, and I am also sick—we are all sick. Lingshu, there is a Chinese saying that a heart disease must be healed by heart medicine." Kevin said word by word: "Your The medicine is your self-esteem, and my medicine is you." He smiled: "Maybe you don't believe me, I've been waiting until this case is over, then I can have an unrealistic hope that you to come back to America."

After a while, he said tactfully: "Texas is not convenient, we can go to California. Or anywhere you like."

This is what it means to ask for marriage.

This isn't the first time he's brought it up.

But Fang Lingshu couldn't give him an answer.

"That has nothing to do with self-esteem. Kevin, you are an ABC, and you don't understand the idea of ​​Chinese people inheriting their father's will." Fang Lingshu avoided the topic: "Since I have decided to return to China, I will not go out again unless the case is solved. Lose."

"—what if it never breaks?"

Fang Lingshu thought about it, as if he was looking for an answer that could convince himself and Kevin.

"There is an old saying among the Chinese that it is called home before the Huns are destroyed."

After a while, as if trying to convince himself, he continued: "My father has been struggling with this case for 15 years. I chose this major and studied abroad just to finish this matter. Isn't it The matter of our father and son is not a so-called heroic dream, it is dozens of lives in 15 years. These people died with regret."

Outside his window in Chang'an, the Milky Way runs through the night sky at the end of summer, while outside his window in New York, at some point, it began to rain.

Kevin was silent, smiling, and after a long time, he said, "Okay, my general, I'll wait for your return."
