365 Difficult Ways To Live

It was completely dark, and Chu Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the bright street lights outside, and the night was quiet.

She called Xu Huaiyu and asked about the search for the target.After finding Mu Shangqing's body, she hinted to him that Xiao Huaihua most likely had sneaked into Wangjiang City. After all, this was her father's burial place, and her last action might be in Wangjiang City.

Xu Huaiyu accepted her hint that the police were vigorously searching for Chu Dongren, and now with Xiao Huaihua, they were included in the search targets at the same time, almost belonging to the "gang".

However, Chu Yu knew that even if he "informed" the police and stepped up the search efforts, he would not be able to find Xia Yihan's whereabouts. She was able to hide well in unfamiliar cities outside. Will it easily expose flaws?

Xu Huaiyu's reply was as she expected, with a hint of fatigue. He was inspired when he saw that Chu Yu had found Xia Yihan. He thought that as long as he deployed properly and kept secrets, he could successfully capture the other party, so he took over the command from Chu Yu at that time. At that time, he was not afraid, and was ready to do a big job, to capture Xiaohuaihua and bring him to justice, to save himself, and to feel proud.

But the reality once again revealed its cruel nature. After five days of busy work, there was still no movement. Xu Huaiyu became confused. Together with the captain and the profiler, he repeatedly read the Sophora japonica case file, and combined with the information given by Chu Yu Reasoning, hoping to understand Xia Yihan in all aspects, and speculate on his actions. Although Chu Yu also guessed about his next move, he dare not believe it. If she really guessed so accurately, Xiaohuaihua would not have escaped !

Chu Yu roughly asked about the progress of the case, and without saying a few words, he made a request: "Xu Ting, I want to borrow the investigators of the case of Section Chief Mu's disappearance, as well as the case file."

Xu Huaiyu hesitated for a while and asked her purpose.

Through the radio waves, the other party's clear and powerful voice came, Xu Huaiyu agreed, the criminal investigation team leader in charge of the disappearance case has been transferred, but the criminal police were impressed by the case, so they rushed to the scene of the crime together with the secret operation team .

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Chu Yu had already arrived at the staff dormitory building in Dongcheng District. Compared with five years ago, it was obviously refurbished. It is close to the construction site and convenient for commuting to and from work. However, now that the building has been built, several dormitory buildings are rented out , there is a vocational school nearby, many young teachers will rent houses here.

Fortunately, although the decoration has a new look, the overall layout has not changed. The roof is still flat and there are many clotheslines for drying quilts on sunny days.

After arriving, Chu Yu first familiarized herself with the roof of the building based on the photos at the scene. She walked to the north railing and looked at the dormitory opposite. At that time, the witness was in the dormitory. Became the last person to see him.

After the criminal police arrived at the scene, they immediately described the original appearance of the scene to Chu Yu based on the records and memories of the case file.

After investigating the phenomenon at that time, the distribution of the bloodstains is as follows: there was blood spatter on the wall of the stair room on the top floor, a bloody handprint on the railing of the roof, dripping strips on the east side of the stairs, and then a rubbing bloodstain, that is, blood flow On the ground, it was dragged and formed. The rubbed bloodstain was about 1.5 meters long and stopped abruptly after reaching the stair room. These bloodstains all came from the victim. The victim’s mobile phone, leather shoes and drugs were also found at the scene, but no trace of the murderer was found. any trace.

In fact, at Superman's place at that time, Chu Dongren showed them the photos of the scene and explained it, but Chu Yu didn't dare to rely on the information he provided, so he had to go on stage in person to simulate a crime.

After listening to the detachment leader's description, Chu Yu folded his arms and focused on contemplation. Judging from the crime scene, there are three doubtful points:

1. According to eyewitness testimony, the murderer was fighting Chief Mu Ke, but he was always on the south side of the roof, that is, near the exit, so Chief Mu always rushed towards the murderer. Even if he retreated to the west, the murderer did not chase him. , into the sight of witnesses, why?

2. According to the photo, there was blood stains behind the roof of the building, dragged and formed, but suddenly disappeared, as if the person was picked up, but even after being picked up, there was still blood dripping from Chief Mu's body, pointing to the murderer to leave direction, but was not found at the scene.

3. If the murderer wants to transfer Chief Mu, it is very conspicuous no matter whether he is carrying or holding him. There are many migrant workers in the building. It is impossible not to notice him when going up and down the stairs. But when the police asked, no one saw anything suspicious. How did the murderer take Chief Mu out of the building?

Chu Yu planned to do a crime simulation. She asked Fang Datuo, who had normal eyesight, to go to the seventh floor to the north, where the witnesses were. She pretended to brush her teeth while looking aimlessly out of the window.

For the first time, Song Qingyang played Mu Shangqing, and Wu Ke played the murderer. Wu Ke held a pen, imitating a knife, and wanted to stab Song Qingyang behind the stair room.

Song Qingyang stepped back again and again, his hands were still swinging, and entered Fang Datuo's line of sight. At night, the light was not good, so he could only see Song Qingyang's silhouette, as if he was arguing with another person.

Soon, Song Qingyang stepped forward, went to the back of the roof room, tried to communicate with Wu Ke, and took the weapon from his hand.

Wu Ke fought her, and because of the knife, he gained the upper hand and stabbed Song Qingyang. She had no choice but to hide back, her body was unstable, and she came into Fang Datuo's sight again, looking from Fang Datuo's perspective , she was fighting with someone.

After that, Wu Ke was about to leave from the door of the roof room. Song Qingyang rushed forward to stop her. This time, Wu Ke stabbed her in the abdomen. I circled the railing and ran to the west part, which was not blocked by the protruding part of the roof.

She was bleeding, suddenly exhausted, and fell down. Wu Ke grabbed her feet and dragged her from the west to the back of the attic, out of Fang Datuo's field of vision, and the first simulation ended.

The second simulation was completed by Song Qingyang herself, and the others stood in the southeast corner to watch her play on her own.

Under the incandescent light, she repeated the action just now, first retreating to the west, swinging her hands, as if arguing with the other party, then leaping forward, fighting the air, after a while, she came into Fang Datuo's field of vision again, waving her fists, as if fighting.

Afterwards, she ran to the south side of the attic, pulled out the knife herself, stabbed herself, then ran along the south railing to the west side, and circled around in a big circle. This time she fell and fell down. However, she fell down next to the roof room, near the exit. She pressed her legs against the door frame, pulled herself back, and finally returned to the roof room.

After the two simulations were over, Fang Datuo came back and reported what he saw: in the two simulations, his intuitive feelings were almost the same, that someone on the opposite side was arguing and fighting with others, and was finally knocked down and dragged away.

Just now, Wu Ke and Song Qingyang performed completely according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, but Fang Datuo raised a point after watching it. Under the condition of visibility at night, the details cannot be seen clearly. But imagination is a part, and imagination will automatically fill in the information that the senses do not know.

For example, Chief Mu may have moved a lot at the time, feeling like pushing and scolding. Witnesses thought he was arguing or even fighting, but in fact he might just have a manic episode and feel unwell.

Benzodiazepines were found at the scene, which he may have been about to take.

Chu Yu listened, nodded, and did not make any judgments. He thought that a simulation could be used to determine the winner and see which one was more likely. Unexpectedly, a [-]-[-] score came, and he pushed it back. Eyewitness testimony, there may be deviations.

However, although the results of the part of the simulation seen by the witnesses cannot be distinguished, there is a difference in the subsequent part - in the first simulation, Wu Ke carried Song Qingyang down the stairs and met the residents on the stairs. I went up to him and asked him, expressing concern, thinking that the person he was carrying might need 120 ambulance.

In the second simulation, Song Qingyang stood up by herself. She took off her shoes to avoid leaving bloody footprints, covered the wound, and went downstairs. Seeing clothes and shoes drying in the corridor, she took off one Put it on, cover the blood on your body, put on your shoes, and successfully walk out of the dormitory building.

It can be seen that the second simulation, that is, the situation in which Chief Mu directed and acted himself, is closer to reality, which is in line with the result that the victim and the murderer left the building together without being found.

However, this is not certain. Chief Mu was the only one in the whole process. If it was Chu Dongren, Hu Bin, and Bo Rui'an who fought with him at that time, can the three of them cooperate internally and externally to transfer Chief Mu from the roof to the building? What about downstairs?

After struggling for a while, Chu Yu leaned against the railing and sighed silently.

It's winter, the night is freezing cold, and the wind is blowing, and the snot and tears are about to be blown out together.The more she blows, the clearer her mind becomes. She feels that she has analyzed everything she should analyze, almost reaching the critical point, but why can't she make a clear judgment or find conclusive evidence?

Familiar with the murder of each deceased, asked the family members of each deceased, visited the original residents of Huaxieting everywhere, had intimate contact with Xia Yihan for a month, and learned about Mu Shangqing's past mental journey, through the previous staff member Investigated Chu Dongren's work situation, and even went home to search through his personal belongings.

Almost all the investigation points of the two cases have been carefully gone through. Even though it has been revealed that the family members of the five deceased jointly killed Mu Shangqing, the reason cannot be found out, and the entire chain cannot be connected to form a murder case. The full and complete truth.

Standing in the cold wind, Chu Yu's whole body was already numb, and she didn't care about the cold, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that everyone around her was shivering from the cold, so she couldn't bear it, so she packed her things and prepared to go home.

When she got downstairs, she asked the others to go back to Superman first. She was going to go home and spend more time with her mother. Now there is no news from Chu Dongren. The most difficult thing is her mother. She goes back to sleep and at least sees her every day.

Wu Ke insisted on sending her back. Superman's place was close to here, but Jingxing Community was far away, and it was relatively remote there. She had only experienced the kidnapping incident, so it was really inappropriate to go back alone.

Chu Yu didn't refuse, but she has a subtle mentality now, and she will come up with some magic tricks, wishing she could be kidnapped, maybe she can meet her father, see Xia Yihan, and solve the puzzle.

When she got home, she was greeted by a scent of burnt incense, which seduced her olfactory nerves and excited her. She didn't eat much for dinner. She wasn't hungry at first, but being so seduced, her stomach felt empty instantly, and she was in urgent need of extra meals.

Pan Yi was very happy. Her daughter came home within two days. It was like waiting for a thousand years. She, an empty nester, was overjoyed and roasted two corns in the middle of the night to welcome her daughter home.

Chu Yu pulled out the corn with chopsticks, and gave some to her old mother. They stood on the balcony, watching the night scene outside, laughing while eating.

The two had a good understanding and didn't talk much. Pan Yi knew that Chu Yu was working hard and must have been busy all day, so she came back overnight to accompany her.

She heated up the electric blanket and asked Chu Yu to go to bed early. If there is work to do, just go straight there, don't worry about her.

Chu Yu slept in the original bedroom. Because he stayed up all night last night, he was exhausted and fell asleep not long after. But in the early morning, he woke up inexplicably, looking at the night outside the window, lost in thought.

She stood up, walked to the study room lightly, turned on the light, and looked at everything in the house quietly. This place was turned over last night. Mark of.

She sat on the bed, put her hands on her thighs, lowered her head, her hair fell down her cheeks, covering her face.If someone suddenly opened the door and came in, she would be scared to death by her—she was like a lost ghost, with her spine pulled out and her shoulders collapsed.

Chu Yu was really lost, she didn't know what to look for next, if she couldn't find Chu Dongren and Xia Yihan again, she didn't know how long she could survive.

She always felt that all the fragments had been found, and half of them had been put together, and the other half should be pieced together based on the clues, but it had been difficult to produce, and a painting was only a half-finished product.

Now the police force is focusing on finding people, because what should be investigated has also been investigated. The family members of the five deceased are still lying in the hospital, still stubborn, refusing to tell the truth. Give reference suggestions.

On the one hand, the truth is unknown, on the other hand, key figures are missing, and the direction of the matter cannot be judged. No one knows what will happen next. This feeling of helplessness makes Chu Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.

There is a feeling of being out of reach.

Now her mind is different from the mess before, but a blank space, as if completely emptied, she stood up, trying to fill her mind with something.

Walking to the bookshelf, I ran my fingers along a row of spines and landed on a monograph on neuroscience.

She took out the brick book, and according to her memory, she turned to the page with the cardboard at that time, which was the chapter on the optic nerve, about the optic chiasm and blind spots.

Chu Yu felt that the word "blind spot" was very familiar. She looked at the wall chart on the left wall, which was also a schematic diagram of the blind spot on the anatomical structure of the retina.

"Blind spots..." Chu Yu muttered to himself, his brows furrowed slightly, because his eyes seemed out of focus because of too much concentration in thinking.

Physiologically, the blind spot refers to an area on the retina. Because there are only nerve fibers in the optic area, but no photosensitive structure, it cannot be photosensitive and imaged, and there is no visual area, which is the blind spot.However, because of the help of the brain, people generally do not feel the existence of blind spots, nor do they know that there is an area in their field of vision that is originally a black hole.

However, in life, the blind spot has an extended meaning, which is a metaphor for an unrecognized or neglected place, which is clearly in front of you, but has not been noticed.

The cardboard was put on this page by Chu Dongren. On page 175, it doesn't look like it was randomly stuffed, and it may have a hidden meaning.

Because a book was taken away, a place was vacated on the full bookshelf, like a black hole, Chu Yu stared at it blankly, his brain spinning rapidly.

Is there anything so far that they have been ignoring, or checking, but not taking seriously, thinking it is unimportant, right in front of their eyes?

From seeing Xia Yihan for the first time on October 10th, to December 15th, at 12:11 in the morning, Chu Yu seemed to have a timeline in his mind, pulling all the experiences at a hundred times the speed, and drawing it to the end. , she pressed the pause button, blinked her eyes, ran back to the bedroom, picked up her mobile phone, and called Muyu.

Muyu is sleeping, but the phone is not turned off, for fear that Chu Yu is in a hurry, such as now, there are urgent and forceful instructions on the phone.

"Xiaoyu, you go to the office of the analysis department now, open Chief Mu's computer, and find the folder where he records his daily routine."

After 5 minutes, Muyu completed the instruction.

"Okay, look at the end, is there a new document?"

Wooden fish: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You check it to see if there's anything in it."

Muyu just got up, her eyes were a little sensitive to light, she squinted her eyes for a while, the screen was all blurred.

"No, isn't this a blank document... Hey, wait, it seems that the text is hidden..."

After that, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and it seemed that something had been found.

Chu Yu pinched her fingers, her palms were full of sweat, her heart was beating like thunder, she was afraid of disturbing Pan Yi who was sleeping peacefully next door.

After a few minutes, Muyu's heavy breathing came from the phone, as if he had asthma and something stuck in his throat.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yu lowered his voice and was concerned.

"Chu Chu...I...my heart can't take it anymore, I'll send you the things right away...I'll ask Wu Ke to pick you up..."

Soon after receiving the file in his hand, Chu Yu clicked to download, but because of trembling, he clicked twice before he clicked.

After opening the document, she closed the bedroom door and looked through it quickly. The front was fine, but when she saw the back, she almost screamed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Even though she was mentally prepared, her heart still shrank suddenly.

"The carving of Sophora japonica is to kill one person—the head of the Superman Department."

It turned out that Xia Yihan's target was not her, but Chu Dongren!
