365 Difficult Ways To Live

On the night when he first arrived in Luoyu, in order to find out the situation of the potential victim, Chu Yu and Chu Dongren had a long talk all night. Chu Dongren told Chu Yu about his tragic experience. Tragic, the murderer is unknown.

Chu Dongren recalled that she almost had a myocardial infarction, and Chu Yu suffered from kidney pain. According to Chu Dongren's description, she went through the case in chronological order, and got to know the facts of the case, trying to find out the connection.

But several cases took place all over the country, the time is irregular, and the victims have no similarities. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it doesn't look like a serial murder case. It looks like six high-IQ perverts in six places. They didn't know each other, but they both had a whim and chose to kill.

The six cases, in chronological order, are: Hu Qingke in Wangjiang City died of low temperature, Shi Ling in Luoyu City died of respiratory obstruction, Chen Mu in Jinling City died of severe poisoning, and Bai Mengmeng in Wangjiang City died in a fire , Lu Xuanwen of Changyan City died of panic, and Mu Shangqing was suspected to have died of a knife wound. The place of death is unknown.

Mu Shangqing is a former member of the Superman Department, mainly responsible for data and data analysis, and often participates in internal psychological profiling meetings.After strange incidents happened around Chu Dongren, he was the first to notice something was wrong. He wanted to find out the connection between several cases, and even joined the police to participate in the investigation.

According to Chu Dongren's memories, in those two years, Mu Shangqing was under a lot of pressure. He had to take into account the internal cases of the Superman Department and also wanted to investigate the other five murder cases. , half of them are hanging in the police station, and both sides are suffering.

Chu Dongren actually wanted to participate in the investigation of the murder case, but as the director, he was busy with internal cases every day, and the supernormal people who took over one after another, were as bizarre as the murder case, and occupied his attention. All the time and energy, so he can only mourn for the families of the victims. If the police need to ask questions to understand the situation, he will try his best to spare time and cooperate fully.

Once, seeing Mu Shangqing still analyzing the murder case in the middle of the night, Chu Dongren couldn't help asking: Why are you so obsessed?

Mu Shangqing stared at the whiteboard covered with the victim's name, "Because these cases happened around you."

Mu Shangqing didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Chu Dongren could understand—"I'm afraid it will happen to you in the end."

In the homicide investigation, Mu Shangqing helped the police with data analysis and psychological profiling, on the one hand to find out the real murderer, and on the other hand, to worry about Chu Dongren's safety.

After running to the Public Security Bureau for two years, it can be said that Mu Shangqing is the person who knows the five murder cases best in the entire Superman Department, or the person who is closest to the murderer. In some places, he is more transparent than the police handling the case.

Later, due to the heavy pressure of handling the case, Mu Shangqing lost his mind, had problems with his sleep quality, and lived a sad reminder of jet lag.

Chu Dongren also felt that his conscience was uneasy. Although the murder case had nothing to do with him directly, it happened around him after all, and every time it was like a fixed-point bombing, he "bombed" around him. No matter how determined his willpower was, he began to doubt Speaking of myself, is it because I am too sluggish and affect others?

After the accident of Lu Xuanwen from Changyan five years ago, the atmosphere of the entire investigation office was extremely dull. Although the staff did not say it clearly, they all retreated a little bit, and their work beliefs were shaken—whether the investigation office did something outrageous or unreasonable. Being watched by God, how did you go and where did you die?

Assistant Wang Dechuan desperately advised Chu Dongren, a staunch atheist, to visit the temple, recite Buddhist scriptures, and cleanse his soul.

Chu Dongren finally believed in his own evil. For the personal safety of the general public, he chose to stay behind closed doors. If there are supernormal people who need psychological diagnosis, he will ask the secret operation team to take them to the medical room on the third floor of the investigation office. , to prevent contact with irrelevant outsiders.

The results proved that Chu Dongren had completed the "introduction of disasters", and the personal safety of the general public was preserved, but something happened inside the Superman Department-Mu Shangqing was killed, and even the body was not found.

Chu Yu has no impression of this dedicated former clerk, and has never seen him before. He is actually an old man in the investigation department. He has been with Chu Dongren for four years. If it weren't for the murder case five or six years ago, he probably still exists now. It is expected to become the veteran of the investigation department.

Except for the content of the murder case last time, Chu Dongren did not mention Mu Shangqing to Chu Yu, so Chu Yu only knew the name of the former clerk, which was just a code name, which was cold and could not evoke any memories.

At this moment, when Chu Dongren mentioned the words he left before his disappearance, Chu Yu was shocked and at the same time very puzzled. The veins on her forehead were twitching, and she stared at Chu Dongren: "Dad, why didn't you mention such important information at that time?"

If it had been mentioned at the time, their focus of work might have been double-tracked. On the one hand, they would protect potential victims and track down Xia Yihan's traces. On the other hand, they would investigate Mu Shangqing's disappearance, and see if they could restore the truth of the year through him, and perhaps find out. Xia Yihan's motive for committing the crime.

Chu Dongren knew that Chu Yu would blame her, so he moved his eyes away to avoid eye contact with her, "I know, if you knew in advance, you would definitely start an investigation and hope to find the murderer. The entire province has been turned upside down, and the case has not been solved. Your focus now is to protect potential victims. I think it is meaningless to spend a lot of energy on a dead mystery."

Chu Yu put his hands on his knees, stood up, and paced back and forth in the small room, restless.

She knew that Chu Dongren had a deep affection for Mu Shangqing. After all, they had been together day and night for four years, which was more time than with her. Of the six murders, the one that had the greatest impact on Chu Dongren should be the death of Mu Shangqing.

Later, Chu Dongren began to pray to gods and worship Buddha, from an atheist to sitting in the heart of a Buddha, and even consecrated the red cloth strip with "Supernormal People Research and Investigation Office"—how big is that? The mental shock required to complete this qualitative transformation?

But what she couldn't understand was why Chu Dongren didn't want them to investigate Mu Shangqing's death?

When he told her about the murder case, the first five Chu Dongren described it in detail, and the last one involved Mu Shangqing, so he obviously missed a word. Chu Yuxian thought that the place of death was unknown and he didn't have enough details. Now It seems that there is still a lot of information that Chu Dongren did not disclose.

why?Doesn't he want to find out the truth about the death of the clerk back then?

In fact, in Luoyu City, after analyzing He Lan's "lie" with the staff, Chu Yu was a little suspicious of Chu Dongren. In the end, He Lan and He Zhiping ran away. Now that no one has been found, Chu Yu's suspicion has further deepened. They seemed to be afraid not only of the Phantom of Sophora japonica, but also of the police.

The police are protecting them, why make them afraid?

One hypothesis would make sense: they knew who the murderer was, and the murderer was inside the police, or someone who could get information inside the police.

After such an analysis, the scope seems to be very narrow, even terribly narrow...

Chu Yu felt her head was about to explode, her chest was tight, and she had the urge to vomit. She went to the bathroom, picked up a handful of water, brushed it on her face, and looked up at herself in the mirror, like a desperate lonely horse. The wolf, with bloodshot eyes, hoped to find a way out.

Drops of water dripped down his cheeks, washing off a layer of exhaustion. Chu Yu wiped his face with a towel, and his eyes became firm. He has known Chu Dongren for 23 years, and converted every day into a dime, adding up There are also hundreds of oceans, no matter how bad it is, it can buy her a basket of trust.

After leaving the bathroom, Chu Yu returned to her usual calm. She sat back and put her hands on Chu Dongren's knees, pleading in her tone: "Dad, I need to know all about the sixth murder case. I need your full cooperation, okay?"

Chu Dongren's eyes were clear and he stared at Chu Yu. Suddenly, he reached out and hugged her tightly, "Xiao Yu, it's great that you can come back safely!"

……

Mu Shangqing had an accident in November five years ago. He had been in the investigation office for five months, and the situation was calm. Chu Dongren thought that his bad spirit had been sealed away and he would no longer cause trouble. How could he expect five months to be safe? , In exchange for a strange murder.

On the evening of November [-]st, Chu Dongren invited the members of the investigation department to have a good meal outside, which can be regarded as a relaxation, to give everyone some confidence in their work - the Superman department is still good, the work is exciting enough, and the boss is generous enough.

Everyone had a good time at the banquet. After the meeting, Chu Dongren originally wanted to go back to Xinye District. Since Bai Mengmeng’s accident, he moved out and was free for half a year. He didn’t know how dirty it was inside. He wanted to go back and clean it. Ryan and Liao Feng.

When he got to the door, before he took out the key, he found an unread text message in his hand, from Mu Shangqing:

Chu Chu, don't look for me, I'll die with the murderer.

Although he didn't say who the murderer was, Chu Dongren's first reaction was the murderer of the five mysterious murders. He was stunned at the door for a long while, until the voice control light went from bright to extinguished, Chu Dongren's heart jumped wildly, and he hurriedly dialed Mu Shang Qing called, but no one answered.

Chu Dongren felt cold all over, and rushed to the investigation office. In the car, he asked Wang Dechuan to conduct technical positioning immediately. After confirming Mu Shangqing's location, he asked the secret operation team to rush to support.

Mu Shangqing's mobile phone was in normal working condition, so it was easy to locate, but when Chu Dongren rushed over, he only saw bloodstains, traces of fighting and leftover clothes, and the murderer and Mu Shangqing were nowhere to be found.

The crime took place on the roof of a migrant building. There were many people living in that building, and anyone could enter.The monitoring facilities are not perfect, and it is basically impossible to check the entry and exit records.

Fortunately, the opposite side is also an employee building with a lot of people living in it. There are witnesses. When the police investigate the case, that person volunteers to provide information.

"Last night, I was brushing my teeth, and I saw a man on the roof. He seemed to be arguing with others. He kept talking to the opposite side, and then made a gesture of pushing and shoving. However, the top stairwell room opposite him blocked it. I see No other guy, and later, he jumped on it, and it seemed like he was really moving, and then he was thrown out a few times, and fell badly, but the other guy was always behind the raised stairwell, and I couldn't see it He, at the end, I saw the man lying on the ground, as if he had fallen unconscious, and he was pulled by another person to the back of the stairwell, and I couldn't see it again."

Interpol: "Why didn't you call the police?"

Witness: "It was night at that time, and there was only an incandescent light on the opposite rooftop. I looked at the other side, and I could see it vaguely. I thought it was an ordinary fight. I didn't know it was bleeding!"

The next night, the police conducted a simulation in the witness's room, trying to observe the roof of the opposite building at night, and found that they could not see clearly. The witnesses could roughly see the incident, which is considered excellent vision.

However, the scene was much more tragic than his description. Mu Shangqing and the murderer did not just fight. The blood on the wall of the stair room was splattered. This shows that first, the murderer stabbed Mu Shangqing with a knife. Second, Mu Shangqing was still alive when he was assassinated.

When he fell to the ground, Mu Shangqing was already injured, and the blood flowed all over the ground. When the murderer dragged him, he left a wide bloodstain on the ground, just like the blood stained and dragged with a mop, but behind the staircase room At that moment, things became outrageous, and the dragging bloodstains suddenly disappeared, as if at that moment, all the blood on Mu Shangqing's body evaporated, leaving no traces.

Hearing what Chu Dongren said, Chu Yu couldn't help interjecting: "Suddenly disappeared? There is no trace of the murderer?"

"Yes," Chu Dongren's face was pale, and his brain was almost ischemic from the memory. "It's like Mu Shangqing and the murderer evaporated in place at the same time."
