blind circle

Chapter 1 Prologue

If you don't have something infinite, something deep, something real in your life, there is no lingering. ——Van Gogh

Hello Qingfeng:

I haven't corresponded with you for a long time, and now I'm about to return to China. During the three years of training, I have seen many complicated cases, and I have left you messages one by one.

Whether the criminals are social elites with high IQ or use brute force to win, they all have one thing in common; knowledge can indeed change literacy, but it cannot change human nature. Whether they are highly intellectual or illiterate, they all live in their own blind circle. stay home.

In this blind circle, there is nothing to do with knowledge, literacy, immorality, or any other constraints, only the most instinctive impulse.

Next, I will continue to return to my job, which is still related to reasoning, but it is different from the simulation environment on the website.

Looking forward to that time, the contest between you and me.

——Jiyue, September 2019, 9.

After Ji Liang pressed the send button in the Los Angeles hotel, he closed his laptop, picked up his luggage, and headed to the airport.

He looked back at the Los Angeles sun at four o'clock in the morning, and it really had the beauty described by the black mamba.

Weijiang City Police Department

Everyone in the criminal investigation office of the police station had just returned to work, each sitting in their own office, and there seemed to be a figure in the captain's office that had been vacant for a while.

Xiao Hu walked over curiously and pushed open the door;

"—From now on, remember to knock on the door before pushing!" The cold voice sounded, Xiao Hu looked at the tall and young back, and suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable fear: "Okay...Okay." Then silently retreated out.

No need to ask, the new boss is here.

Hu Fei quickly returned to his seat. It is said that the leader this time was a god-like existence in the police academy. After graduating and working in the police station for a period of time, he was recommended by the state to go abroad for further studies. He was just transferred two days ago. Hui started from the grassroots, and was also dispatched by the superior to solve this big case.

Other colleagues came to the office one after another, and Ji Liang walked out of the office.

Everyone gasped suddenly. The man in front of him was dressed very casually, but it was hard to hide his dazzling light.

The brim of the black peaked cap is extremely low. The upper body is a Kobe commemorative black long-sleeved hoodie, the lower body is a pair of knee-length black sports shorts, and the pure black sports stockings reach the calf, revealing a slender leg with clear muscles. Above is a pair of Kobe Bryant basketball shoes.

Everyone secretly wondered, is this person a sports star, a fitness trainer, or a celebrity idol?

His cold eyes scanned all the colleagues in the seats, and then he clapped his hands neatly. He said in a low voice, "stop, everyone. I'm Ji Liang, the newly appointed captain. I only need people who do things here. The rest of you who want to hang out here had better find another way out, understand?"

Ji Liang was born with an aura, and just a few words had already played a deterrent effect, making the deputy director beside him who wanted to introduce Ji Liang silently swallow his saliva and decided to keep silent.

The brigade is also full of elites dispatched from various sub-bureaus. Recently, the case at hand has really made them burnt out, and they urgently need a leader to appear. Ji Liang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate in all aspects.

Ji Liang looked at the same young and vigorous young men in front of him, nodded slightly, and then looked at Deputy Director Zhang.

Deputy Director Zhang grinned, "Captain Ji just arrived at the bureau early this morning, so he must not have found a place to live yet? How about I take you to the bureau's dormitory?"

Ji Liang waved his hand, "Thank you, someone has found a good place for me just now, so don't bother."

The tone was neither humble nor overbearing, without any superfluous embellishments.

Deputy Director Zhang twitched his mouth, and was about to turn around and leave with an embarrassed smile, but Ji Liang suddenly stretched out his hand and smiled slightly, "I will ask Deputy Director Zhang to give me more advice in the future."

Deputy Bureau Zhang was stunned for a moment, and he slowly stretched out his hand to hold Ji Liang's hand. The temperature of the other's fingertips made him tremble, and he felt inexplicably flattered in his heart, "Where is it, Captain Ji is exhausted, today Just go back and rest, and come back to work tomorrow."

Ji Liang nodded slightly, looking at the rising sun outside, at 8:30 in the morning, the sun was just right.

After doing a simple handover task, Ji Liang walked out of the police station with a portable suitcase in one hand and a phone in the other.

Immediately, there was a heated discussion behind:

"I'll go, the new captain is really stylish, did you see Zhang Ju's expression just now?"

"Isn't that so handsome! He's even more handsome than the stars on TV!"

"Hey, I heard that he has a lot of background, and even his personal files are encrypted."

.....

Ji Liang came to a semi-new residential area next to the police station, which happened to be sandwiched between the police station and Weijiang University.

The voice of the buddy on the other end of the phone was chattering: "Liangzi, the place I found for you is good. It is close to your work and quiet, which is suitable for night owls like you. I heard that the next door to you is also a college student, and one of them You're still a dumb guy, so you don't need to deal with them too much, how about it, buddy, it's interesting!"

Holding the phone, Ji Liang found his new residence according to the address given by the other party.He glanced at the indoor environment and was generally satisfied.

The overall interior decoration adopts the Scandinavian style, which is simple and elegant, just in line with my own mind, but this is a community house, and I have to go a long way to buy food by myself.

Ji Liang responded with a vague nasal voice, and then said: "It's not bad, but it's not convenient to buy food."

The other end of the phone sneered and said, "Brother, I said you are stupid abroad, order takeaway!"

Ji Liang listened to the good buddy on the other end of the phone talking nonsense, and hung up the phone.

He downloaded a delivery software, ordered a hamburger and a Coke on it, and started to pack his things.

The buddy who helped find a house knows himself very well and knows that he likes to exercise. He specially vacated a room for some fitness equipment and hung a Gibson electric guitar on the wall.

He quickly tidied up his few things. He only carried two sets of pure black sportswear, a solid-color jacket from TheNorthFace, a pair of leather boots from Dr. Martens, and a copy of Rashomon by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. ".

Ji Liang took off his hoodie, wore a loose vest, sat on the sofa, picked up "Rashomon" and turned a page:

I don't know who quietly removed the knife on my chest with invisible hands.At the same time, blood poured into my mouth again.From then on, I will always sink in the darkness of the underworld. ...

Just as Ji Liang was watching it engrossed, the phone vibrated, and the phone was marked as express delivery.

Ji Liang said in a deep voice, "Hello? Who are you?"

After a while, there was still no sound from the other end of the phone. When Ji Liang frowned and planned to continue asking in detail, the phone was hung up.

Immediately afterwards, a text message was sent quickly: Hello, I am a delivery person, sorry I am dumb, you did not fill in the detailed address after you placed the order, please send me your address, thank you.

Ji Liang was a little surprised, now domestic takeaway is so convenient, can it be delivered directly to home?

.....

After receiving the text message, Shu Xin rubbed his eyes. This address is clearly his next door?

After confirming again and again that he was not mistaken, Shu Xin felt a little relieved.After delivering this order, I can go home and rest, which just saves myself from anxiety, because of that matter... I really don't have the mood to work recently.

When Ji Liang heard the doorbell, he knew that his takeaway had arrived.When he opened the door, he saw Shu Xin, a delivery boy with a handsome face, and felt a little bit of regret; it's a pity that he is a mute with such a young and handsome appearance.

Shu Xin raised his head, holding the takeaway in both hands, suppressing the grief in his heart, trying to show a sincere smile.

Ji Liang froze for a moment. Although the young man in front of him could not speak, his eyes were so clear and filled with lingering sadness. He couldn't help but think of a picture of Van Gogh that the netizen "Qingfeng" once showed him. In the famous painting "Starry Night", the stars shining in the other party's pupils are like the flowing bright nebula in the heavy night.

He said "thank you" in a low voice, and when he was about to close the door after receiving the takeaway, he was surprised to find that the coke in the takeaway bag had spilled the whole bag.

"Hey! Kid, how do you explain this?" Ji Liang opened the door again, raised his eyebrows, and shook the bag in front of him.

Shu Xin, who was about to turn around to open the door, turned his head when he heard the sound, and was surprised to find that because of his absent-mindedness, he didn't notice when the Coke was poured.

He was shocked and bowed 90 degrees to Ji Liang again and again to apologize.Because he couldn't speak, he subconsciously tried to explain with sign language, but Ji Liang couldn't understand what he wanted to express at all.

Shu Xin was in a hurry, he hurriedly took the takeaway from Ji Liang's hand, trying to save the hamburger from the soggy cola in the bag, but unfortunately he found that the cola had already leaked out of the hamburger's packaging box...

The next second, Shu Xin made a move that made Ji Liang's jaw drop. He directly threw the whole bag into the trash can at the door.

Ji Liang frowned, and said in surprise: "You lost my lunch, what should I eat?"

Shu Xin hurriedly picked up the phone and wrote on it: "I'm really sorry, it's my fault! I'm going to buy you another copy now, is that okay?"

"Will buying another copy solve the problem?" Ji Liang folded his hands on his chest, looked at the handsome young man in front of him with interest, and said in a joking tone: "You have a problem with your work attitude, and you are absent-minded when you go to work." , can I tell your boss?"

Shu Xin drooped his shoulders, a look of sadness floated between his brows.He has been on the job for so long and has never been complained about.Since that incident happened last month, I haven't received an order for a month. I finally adjusted my mood, but I didn't expect to make such a mistake again.

It seems that this morning was for nothing...

Shu Xin sighed, and wrote on the phone again: "You can complain to me, but please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, please wait for me for a quarter of an hour, and I will buy you another lunch."

Ji Liang looked at the sincere dumb boy in front of him, and couldn't bear to continue teasing him. In fact, if the other party didn't throw the takeaway into the trash can, he could just let it go.

Ji Liang coughed and said loudly: "Forget it, I'm not hungry anymore, so let's do it."

Shu Xin stretched her neck in amazement, thinking, this game is over, the other party must be angry, and he will definitely complain to himself.

At the moment when Ji Liang was about to close the door, Shu Xin quickly blocked the door with his hand, bowed again, then took out a box of fried skewers from his backpack, and handed it to the other party.

Ji Liang paused, then pointed to himself, "Bring me something to eat?"

Shu Xin nodded quickly, and quickly wrote on the phone with one hand: "I must pay for my mistakes."

Ji Liang smiled, took the box of oily fried skewers readily, and said, "Thank you!" Then he closed the door.

Back in the house, Ji Liang couldn't stop thinking about the humble and polite boy just now, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up.

He accidentally discovered that there is a tipping function on the food delivery software. It is not easy for the little dumb to go to work, and judging by his behavior, he should still be a student who has not been out of society. Maybe this box of fried skewers is his own lunch, so Ji Liang is in 100 yuan is filled in the reward column.

.....

When Shu Xin returned to the house, he saw his roommate came out of the house with fluffy hair, rubbing his eyes, and said, "Why are you coming back now? Is there another perverted customer ordering food and pestering you?"

Shu Xin forced a smile, raised the fried skewers in his hand to signal to his roommate Lin Lei, and he heard the expected cheers: "Xing Xing, how do you know I'm hungry!" Lin Lei ran to the bathroom with a smile, "I'm going to wash my hands."

Shu Xin slumped his shoulders, put down the things in his hands, and went to the bedroom to change clothes.I gave my lunch to the neighbor, but it's okay, I didn't have much appetite at first.

After taking off his takeaway clothes, he saw Lin Lei sitting at the dining table eating skewers, "The stars are coming!" Lin Lei said while eating: "Sure enough, it's good to be handsome, I just saw the message you sent me , it must be that the proprietress saw that you are handsome, and specially fried skewers for you, why don't I have such a good life..."

Listening to the exaggerated words of her roommate, Shu Xin showed a faint smile. The proprietress should think that she is pitiful and dumb, so she takes extra care of herself.

It's just that Lin Lei deliberately hid the reason. Although he looks careless, he has always taken care of himself in every way. This is also the reason why the relationship between the two has been so good for so many years.

Seeing Shu Xin's sad face, Lin Lei thought that Shu Xin was still sad about that incident, so he sighed and said in relief: "Xing Xing, although Teacher Zhang is dead, you must live well to live up to him. High hopes for you."

Shu Xin lowered his eyes and nodded silently.

Lin Lei put down the fried skewers in his hand, his expression became a little dignified, "The person who killed Mr. Zhang will be brought to justice, don't worry, we have to trust the police!"

Shu Xin pursed her lips, but did not respond to Lin Lei.Almost a month has passed, but there is still no news about Mr. Zhang's murder. He is not reconciled to the fact that the murderer has been at large.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more serious, Lin Lei deliberately changed the subject and said, "By the way, do you know that a newcomer has moved in next door?"

Shu Xin raised his head and nodded slightly, more than knowing that he had offended him because of his mistake just now.

Lin Lei picked up a piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Someone moved things in there a few days ago, but they were all things like treadmills, barbells, and punching bags. Have you seen him in person?"

Shu Xin wrote in sign language: "See, he looks very serious. He is muscular. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall. His hair is short and round."

Shu Xin paused, then continued to write: "Based on your description, and when I saw him in person, I concluded that he is a policeman."

Lin Lei paused and asked in surprise, "How do you say it?"

Shu Xin continued to write: "He has a strong physique, but he doesn't look like he came out of a gym. His eyes are very sharp, and there are some traces of old diseases on his arms. There is a thin layer of calluses on his hands, as if he had undergone rigorous training. There is a hint of banditry on him, but he also has the awe-inspiring feeling unique to the police."

Lin Lei gave Shu Xin a thumbs up. He has always had unconditional trust in Shu Xin's reasoning ability, "If he is really a policeman, maybe we can ask him about Teacher Zhang's case in the future."

Shu Xin shrugged, and then returned to his bedroom.He turned on the computer and sorted out all the contact records between himself and Zhang Heng a month ago. He deliberated word by word on some messages Zhang Heng sent to him a few days before his death, hoping to find some clues.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rock music in the room of the next-door resident, and the other party turned up the volume extremely loudly, which really disturbed Shu Xin's thoughts.Shu Xin frowned, stepped forward and closed the window.

.....

With the sound of the song "SheIsMySin", Ji Liang's mind began to run at a high speed, and he still had the case file of "The Massacre of Villa No. 23 in Nanwan Village Community" by his hand.

He not only loves rock and roll, but also has a very strange habit; when he analyzes the case, rock music makes his thinking sharper and his mind clearer.

The high-pitched voice of a rock girl echoed in the room for a long time:

【I committed an unforgivable sin for him, desire occupied my heart, and burned the veil of love in his heart...】
