365 Difficult Ways To Live

One question was not resolved, another question was raised, and the entire conference room fell into silence, even quieter than last time.

In front of the conference table, three clerks sat on the left, and Chu Dong's figure sat alone on the right, which felt a bit like a team debating.

Chu Yu stood in front of the conference table without saying a word for a while, she pursed her lips tightly, "What do you want to say?"

Fang Datuo gestured with his hands because of his excitement, "The witnesses only saw the victim from the beginning to the end, and the murderer did not enter the field of vision. The police questioned the residents of the migrant building and the building opposite, and no witnesses saw the suspicious person. The murderer It disappeared out of thin air again, so I want to say, what if there is no murderer, what if the victim, Senior Mu, wants to divert everyone's attention?"

Chu Dongren, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, "Datuo, I understand what you mean. According to the testimony of eyewitnesses and the situation at the scene, the victim did seem to be directing and acting on his own, but we ruled out this possibility at the time. He He may be able to find out the surrounding surveillance situation in advance, and choose to monitor dead spots or areas without surveillance, but he cannot control the vision of nearby residents."

Chu Dongren asked Chu Yu to switch the picture and switch to an aerial picture. You can clearly see the layout around the migrant building. The migrant building is not high, with six floors and 18.5 meters. There are staff buildings on the north and south sides of the building, and the height They are higher than the migrant buildings.

"The witness who witnessed the victim's situation that night was an employee on the north side of the migrant worker's building. He lived on the seventh floor and could slightly overlook the situation on the top of the building, but he could not see the south side of the staircase room."

Chu Dongren pointed to the lower part of the map, "But here, which is the south of the migrant building, is also a migrant worker's dormitory. We calculated at the time that there are four people in each room, forty rooms in each floor, and seven floors. There were thousands of people. At that time, it was the time for the employees to rest. They were basically in the dormitory, and some were leaning against the window, drinking beer and chatting. It was inevitable that they would look out. The employees on the fifth to seventh floors could see it. The situation on the roof of the opposite building, and the view is clearer than that of the north building, if the victim directed and acted by himself, and he was the only one during the whole process, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he happened to be seen by the people in the south building?"

Muyu: "That is to say, it's not that you can't see the roof from the south, but that no one happened to pay attention that night?"

Chu Dongren nodded: "Yes, that's right!"

"Did the victim leave any clues about who and where the murderer was?" Fang Datuo was also puzzled.

"No, after the victim's accident, I asked the technical staff to check all his electronic equipment, the archives he handled, and the materials on his desk. I even looked through some of his private notebooks, but I couldn't find any clues. In the homicide case, the policeman who cooperated with him also said that it was because the murderer left too little information that the investigation was stalled. Shang Qing wanted to conduct psychological profiling to help the police handle the case. Feeling constrained."

"So..." Mu Yu rubbed his chin, "The only information about the murderer is that text message? Why do I feel that it wasn't Senior Mu who found the murderer, but the murderer found him?"

Chu Dongren sat back to his original position. He had an old lung disease. He had taken care of it for two years after he left office. Now he is full of energy and looks younger. However, since the old case of Mu Shangqing was brought up, he looked haggard, with a kind of "hard maintenance" Hundreds of days, and once I returned to the sadness before being discharged from the hospital.

"Yes, that's why we said that this case is weird. Not only is the incident happened, but it is also weird and weird. Together with the police, we searched the entire Wangjiang City. Shang Qing's body has never been found. This case Like the other five cases, it became an unsolved case, but after that, there were no more bizarre murders around me, and the murderer seemed to have disappeared or died, just like Shang Qing said: he and the murderer died together."

The conference room fell into silence for the third time, each time getting deeper and deeper, and this time added a sense of silence.

Chu Yu remained calm and looked at Chu Dongren's reaction. In fact, she had thought of the questions raised by the staff yesterday when she was alone with him, but she didn't ask directly, because she always felt that this "mysterious sixth case" was involved. ", Chu Dongren was a little reluctant to mention it.

Yesterday, she was the one who asked questions and Chu Dongren answered, so she deliberately gathered the staff together to form a group discussion, and the atmosphere became lively, prompting Chu Dongren to say more.

Her goal was achieved, but things didn't make much progress, and the discussion didn't produce a breakthrough result.After all, five years ago, the Public Security Bureau and Superman hadn't found out about it. It's impossible for a few of them to get together and chatter all night to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay, do you have any comments or questions?"

Fang Datuo, Mu Yu, and Song Qingyang all opened their eyes wide. Seeing Chu's charming and haggard appearance, they were too embarrassed to speak, and waited for Chu Yu to take charge of the overall situation.

"Then I will sort out the incident and summarize all the doubts now. This is also the focus of our investigation in the future."

The three clerks either use pens or computers, and are ready to write hard.

"For two years, the victim Mu Shangqing has been involved in the investigation of the police murder case, but the murderer was not found in the five murder cases. Five years ago, on the night of November [-]st, Mr. Chu Dongren suddenly received a text message from the victim, saying that he wanted to contact the police The murderer died together. Mr. Chu and his subordinates located the location of the victim's mobile phone and rushed to the scene within half an hour, but only found the victim's blood, medicine, mobile phone and a pair of shoes at the scene. The murderer and the victim disappeared at the same time.

Migrant workers at the crime site saw the victim enter the floor, but did not see the murderer, or saw but did not leave an impression. The entire Wangjiang City was searched, and the whereabouts of the victim have not been found so far. After that, the murderer disappeared. There have been similar homicides. "

After listening to Chu Dongren, he nodded, expressing that the overview was in place.

Chu Yu lowered his head, looked at Mu Shangqing's personal information on the table, and bound a large stack, which was only for internal inspection by the Investigation Office.

"Now there are a few doubts:

One, if the victim wanted to kill the murderer, why didn't he ask for support, why didn't he discuss the plan with his colleagues in the department, but went it alone?

Second, since the victim wanted to die with the murderer, why didn't he carry a weapon, or why did he carry a weapon without using it and fight the murderer hand-to-hand?

Third, why did the murderer stay south of the stairwell during the hand-to-hand fight and did not move his position significantly?

Fourth, how did the murderer take the victim away and where did he hide it? "

After finishing speaking, Chu Yu looked at Chu Dongren, and said, "Da Chu Chu, how did you speculate on these questions?"

Chu Dongren knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply said it out, "I believe that the text message was sent by the victim, and his mobile phone was found at the scene, with his fingerprints on it. According to the content of the text message, I speculate that there is only one murderer." , and when the victim went, he didn’t seem to be carrying a gun, but his mobile phone, anti-anxiety drugs and other personal belongings, so I speculate that he knew the murderer, and he wanted to convince the murderer that maybe he succeeded, but at the cost of his life. "

Chu Yu nodded, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said it anyway: "So, did you investigate the insiders of the office and the Public Security Bureau at that time?"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the three staff members were a bit ugly, and their hearts were heavy. Although they were all involved in the investigation before, they felt that it didn't happen to them. There was a feeling that it was clear to the bystanders. Hearing Chu Yu's suspicion, the distance was suddenly pulled closer. , as if the murderer was by his side, or a colleague, or a senior, his whole body was terrified.

Chu Dongren's lips were pale, his eyes were ambiguous, but his tone was quite firm: "Those who have been investigated and who can participate in the investigation of the case are those who have ruled out the possibility of committing the crime, and there is absolutely no suspicion."

After the discussion of the case was over, the three clerks left the conference room wisely. They sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and wisely left space for the father and daughter to solve the problem alone.

Chu Yu immediately sat next to Chu Dongren, and showed his daughter's concern: "Dad, are you okay, I see that your face is pale, and you are struggling to breathe, did you bring the medicine?"

Chu Dongren didn't answer, his eyes fell on the ID photo on the document, Mu Shangqing had clear features, even from the ID photo, he was a good-looking talent, his eyes were sincere and clear, it was these eyes that let Chu Dongren see once , Just once.

Chu Yu held Chu Dongren's hand and found that his palm was full of sweat. I don't know how nervous he was during the meeting just now. His heartbeat must have exceeded 120.

"Xiao Yu, when are you going to Jinling?"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until dawn, I'll call out the file for Director Xu to have a look, although I also know that the things recorded in the file may not have as many details as you have in mind, but go and have a look, anyway Be firm."

"Xiao Yu, we didn't waste our time on this sixth case. Before you returned to China, half of the investigation department's energy was devoted to it. There were at least hundreds of people involved in it. So many people worked hard. If you die and fail to find out the results, if you repeat the steps we did back then, it will be a waste of time and energy."

Chu Yu's eyelids twitched a few times, she squinted her eyes, and held Chu Dongren's palm with both hands, "Dad, are you worried about me?"

Hearing this, Chu Dongren's face turned rosy because of excitement, "I'm not worried about you! I've been debating whether to say it or not, so I don't want to say it before, and I'm afraid that you will have to investigate hard, chasing that Sophora japonica flower all day long." Phantom ran away, followed like a demon, fainted and hospitalized! Come on, I’m afraid something will happen to you again!”

"What happened to me?" Chu Yu blinked, "What could happen to me?"

Chu Dongren shook his head, "The murderer is too weird. Shang Qing disappeared because he was looking for the murderer, and I always felt that the murderer was watching him, knowing that he was investigating, tracking, and deciphering. Maybe it was because of him If you make an important discovery, you will be silenced or taken away."

Chu Yu is thoughtful. From this point of view, this situation is really similar to hers. She has been working around the Phantom of Sophora japonica. Compared with Mu Shangqing, her madness is even worse. In the investigation , Tracking, and deciphering, if one day she makes an important discovery, will she also be silenced or taken away?

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yu displayed his unafraid spirit and shook his head again and again, "Impossible, don't worry about me, my sense of self-protection is strong and tenacious, it is absolutely impossible to run to face the murderer, but you, I I'm quite worried about you!"

This time it was Chu Dong's turn to be surprised, his big eyes blinked, "Why are you worried about me, a retired old man?"

"Because the target of the Phantom of Sophora japonica is the closest relative of the deceased, usually the direct line, but Mu Shangqing has no living immediate family, and before his death, you were closest to him. Although this relationship is very secret, only The internal staff of the investigation office know, but now I feel that Xiao Huaihua knows a lot of inside information, and maybe he will find you."

"No, Mu Shangqing has a daughter, and he has a very close relationship with him. At that time, you deployed personnel to protect potential victims. Didn't you focus on protecting his daughter?"

Chu Yu looked shocked, as if he had heard the news that sparks hit the earth: "Daughter? Where is it?"

"It's a little far away. In Chenyang City, I live with her aunt and uncle. This year is just right, so I should go to college."

Various expressions collided on Chu Yu's face. For a while, she couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing, and she became a four-faced expression pack. She listened to Chu Dongren's homely tone, and squeezed out a bitter smile.

Dad, sometimes I really want to strangle you, you know?
