monologue

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the guests had almost arrived. Many people came in the hotel lobby. The hotel welcome staff registered the guests at the entrance. Yang Weiyuan and Yang Xiao's husband, Huo Jincheng, greeted their relatives and friends at the door. Most of the guests had already taken their seats, so they asked Yang Weiyuan to rest for a while. It happened that Yang Weiyuan's wife came back with Mrs. Zhou. Yang Weiyuan stepped forward and asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Mrs. Zhou handed the congratulatory gift to Yang Weiyuan and said, "I asked Xiao Jing to accompany me to buy some things. How could I come empty-handed when Xiaoxiao got married."

"Go ahead, Lao Chu and the others are here today, you haven't seen each other for a long time." Yang Weiyuan handed the gift to Huo Jincheng, intending to take Mrs. Zhou to find Chu Xingmu's parents. As soon as the three of them turned around, the hotel The lobby suddenly became noisy, several waiters ran out in fear, Yang Weiyuan held his wife's hand and patted it, asking her to take Mrs. Zhou in first.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and the ostentation is getting bigger and bigger." Yang Weiyuan said in a low voice. Huo Jincheng knew that there were several important people present today, so he was not very surprised by the big scene in the lobby. He came here out of emotion and reason. All the people were his and Yang Xiao's guests, so Huo Jincheng rushed to meet Li Yaomin and Wu Huanshan before Yang Weiyuan.

At the banquet, Xia Ci looked at Wen Ti and Wen Xiangqin who happened to be arranged at the same table, and sighed that Chu Xingmu could bear today's wedding banquet. Zhang Ziyang from the Traffic Police Brigade of Yongxing District was one of them. The last time I had contact with members of the criminal investigation team was when Huang Qing was killed. Since then, Chu Xingmu has become more and more busy with work and rarely goes to Yongxing District. As soon as Zhang Ziyang sat down, he asked Chu Xingmu: "Team Chu, When will you give me the bun you owe me?"

Chu Xingmu glared at him and said, "No prospect, you're still thinking about buns when you come here for a wedding today?"

He introduced Zhang Ziyang to others: "This is Zhang Ziyang from the Yongxing District Traffic Police Brigade, Uncle Yang's little follower."

Zhang Ziyang smiled, and introduced himself by the way. There were eight people sitting at a table, including Chen Yuyao from the anti-drug team. The two bureau chiefs here are here today, I only knew that Uncle Yang had retired from the city bureau, but I didn't expect him to have such a big face, our bureau chief couldn't leave today because of something, and the deputy bureau came here."

"There are so many things that you didn't expect."

Wen Ti sat next to Zhong Changxin. Zhong Changxin saw Professor Mu Fang coming in from the back hall and called Wen Ti, and then Zhong Changxin said that he was going to say hello to Professor Mu Fang. At that time, there was commotion at the gate of the venue, and everyone turned their heads to the gate. Yang Weiyuan, Li Yaomin, and Wu Huanshan came in together. More than half of the venue were policemen. The whole police circle knew about the quarrel between Yang Weiyuan and Li Yaomin. Now that Li Yaomin suddenly appeared at the wedding scene, everyone speculated whether their relationship had eased, so the people in the venue began to whisper, Chu Xingmu looked at the reactions of his colleagues with great interest, bowed his head and took a sip of wine, Xia Ci whispered Ask Chu Xingmu: "What kind of medicine do you think is sold in Director Li's gourd?"

Chu Xingmu held the cup and said: "I'm not the roundworm in his stomach, how would I know, by the way, is my wife here today?"

Xia Ci looked around and said, "I didn't see it, I really don't know how Director Li will face Master."

As soon as Wen Ti picked up the wine glass, Chu Xingmu put it back. He said, "If I can get that wisdom tooth drunk, I'll let you drink it."

Wen Tim watched silently as Chu Xingmu poured a full cup of tea into his teacup. Zhang Ziyang saw it and said in surprise, "This is the new partner of Team Chu? I heard that there is a criminal in your team." Psychological consultant, didn't expect you to be so young?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a temporary job in the criminal investigation team, and I'm not a criminal psychology consultant, but this one next to me is."

Wen Ti threw the topic to Zhong Changxin, but fortunately Zhang Ziyang could talk to himself without feeling embarrassed, he said: "I thought all experts in criminal psychology were at the age of Professor Mu Fang. "

Zhong Changxin said: "I didn't realize that you were saying that I was old-fashioned or not capable enough. I was three years older than Wen Ti."

Zhang Ziyang scratched his head: "Huh?"

Wen Xiangqin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "He's just joking."

Chu Xingmu couldn't bear to listen to their appalling conversation anymore, so he turned his attention to the table next door. He saw Yang Weiyuan talking with Li Yaomin, his parents, Professor Mu Fang and Wu Huanshan were sitting together talking, and the same seat There are also many leaders, and many comrades have shown great curiosity about the leadership table. There are also comrades from other branches. Many people who came came because Chu Xingmu thought they would not come. Yang Weiyuan's connections are not so wide. It's just that some people came to join in the fun as soon as they heard that the director of the city bureau was going to attend the wedding of a traffic policeman's daughter. If Yang Xiao knew the purpose of those people, she would probably stand on the stage with a microphone and tell them to leave by name.

Chu Xingmu decided not to care about these things. It was not up to him to worry about what the leaders were going to do. He turned to Wen Ti and said, "When the dishes are served later, pick a few that suit your appetite and eat more. The wedding wine is over. Go pull your teeth, you'll have to drink porridge for a few days."

Wen Ti said: "I didn't realize for a while whether you were pity or gloating. I think the wine on this table is quite to my liking. Can I have a sip?"

"That won't work." Chu Xingmu filled up Wen Ti's tea.

Wen Ti thought for a while, then put her hand under the table to scratch Chu Xingmu's palm, "Not even a bite? Captain Chu, you are too harsh, even harsher than the guy next door."

Hearing Qin from the next door: "..."

Chu Xingmu finally poured a whole glass for Wen Ti, and asked him to measure the amount by himself. He can drink the rest. As soon as the glass was picked up, the lights at the scene slowly dimmed. The wedding host said the opening ceremony on the stage Xia Ci found out that Yang Weiyuan was not at the meeting place. He should be preparing to send Yang Xiao off outside the meeting place, but he saw Mrs. Zhou on the leadership table. Already!"

Chu Xingmu glanced at him without commenting, and asked Xia Ci to quietly watch his ex-girlfriend get married. Angrily, Xia Ci mixed a large glass of water into his wine glass. There was constant applause, and Yang Xiao walked away holding Yang Weiyuan's arm. Passing the red carpet, it happened that Chu Xingmu and his table were at the outermost table. Chu Xingmu made a face at Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao glared at him and then stared at the road ahead. On stage, Chu Xingmu found out that the witness was Mu Fang, but Li Yaomin also gave a congratulatory speech.

When it was time for the bride toss the bouquet, Chu Xingmu walked towards Yang Xiao under Wen Ti's gaze. When Yang Xiao passed by, he made faces at Yang Xiao. Wen Ti thought that their relationship must be very good, but Feeling secretly upset, Zhang Ziyang asked Xia Ci with a smile: "Captain Xia, are you not going to pick up the bouquet? Maybe you can get out of the order this year if you pick up the bouquet."

Xia Ci said: "Receive the ex-girlfriend's bouquet, do you want me to be unable to find a partner?"

Zhang Ziyang laughed out loud, Wen Ti couldn't help laughing, there was a burst of shouts of help from the other side of the stage, and when the wedding ceremony came to an end, the lights on the scene were turned on, and Chu Xingmu crowded around somewhere , when he came back, his clothes became wrinkled, Wen Ti glanced at him without asking him, Chu Xingmu found that the glass of wine he poured for Wen Ti was gone.

The banquet tables had already started serving food, and the waiters filled their glasses with wine, and Zhang Ziyang's occupational disease immediately surfaced: "Today is a happy day, drink and drink, don't drink and drive, if you can't find a substitute driver, I don't want to It's embarrassing to see you in the traffic police brigade."

Xia Ci asked: "What about you? The traffic policeman drunk driving, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is aggravated."

"My house is not far from here, so I can walk back without taking the expressway." After Zhang Ziyang finished speaking, he immediately took a sip of alcohol, since he didn't need to drive anyway.

Yang Xiao and Huo Jincheng first toasted the leadership table before arriving at Chu Xingmu's table. Yang Xiao who changed her wedding dress was also very beautiful. After the toasts at the previous tables, Yang Xiao's face remained unchanged, while Huo Jincheng looked a little overwhelmed When the alcohol was exhausted, Yang Xiao was the main force. The two walked up to Xia Ci, and Yang Xiao introduced Xia Ci to Huo Jincheng: "This is my ex-boyfriend."

Xia Ci and Huo Jincheng were excited at the same time, Xia Ci smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to snatch a marriage."

Chu Xingmu laughed beside him and said, "You are not happy to rob others now."

Xia Ci gritted his teeth and stared at Chu Xingmu, kicking him under the table.

"I said Chu Xingmu, you are too old, you don't even have any idea when you see me getting married?"

"Isn't this not allowed by the law?" Chu Xingmu looked at Wen Ti who was beside him.

Yang Xiao clinked glasses with them while hurting them. Yang Xiao looked curiously at Wen Ti beside Chu Xingmu. He came with Chu Xingmu, and Yang Xiao couldn't neglect her. , Chu Xingmu hurriedly stopped him and said, "I drank this wine for him."

Wen Ti didn't make a sound or stop him. Seeing this, he had to drive when he went back. Yang Xiao and Huo Jincheng turned their heads to respect the others at the table. Wen Ti poured tea into her cup, and her teeth started to Not to mention the pain, Chu Xingmu acted so familiar with Yang Xiao in front of him, Wen Ti felt even more uncomfortable, Chu Xingmu asked him what was wrong, Wen Ti pointed to the direction of the bathroom, and then ignored Chu Xing Mu got up and left in surprise, Chu Xingmu was worried and followed.

Wen Ti wanted to find some ice cubes to drink, but the waiters were busy at the venue, and he didn't want to bother Chu Xingmu, so he found an excuse. Xing Mu should be busy with other things and can't leave for the time being. Wen Ti walked into the bathroom and spit out a mouthful of white wine in his mouth into the sink. He turned on the tap and flushed the wine down. He just looked up at the mirror when a In the figure, after Wen Ti washed his hands and put them under the dryer, he glanced at the mirror again, suddenly he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then he heard a voice that resembled Chu Xingmu shouting: "Stop!" !"

Wen Ti felt bad, went out to take a look, but there was no one outside, so he quickly got into the elevator and walked to the first floor.

Chu Xingmu originally wanted to visit Wen Ti. When he walked to the door of the bathroom, he saw a person looking around furtively outside. At first, the person didn't see him, but he seemed to be discovered by the people inside. Running in the direction of Chu Xingmu, Chu Xingmu took a closer look, and it turned out that the man was Wu Chuan who had attacked him. Wu Chuan ran away after seeing Chu Xingmu, and Chu Xingmu chased him out.

After Wu Chuan escaped from the hotel, he ran to the office building on the north side of the hotel. Chu Xingmu didn't have time to think about the purpose of his presence here. After being attacked by him last time, he tried to find Wu Chuan, but there was no trace of this person. I don't know why he suddenly appeared today. Appeared in the hotel, I didn’t catch him last time, I must not let him run away this time, no matter what Chu Xingmu shouted from behind, Wu Chuan ran forward without looking back, Chu Xingmu could only chase after him hard, walking on the sidewalk The passers-by were hit by Wu Chuan one by one, and Chu Xingmu also rushed up at this time. When he was only one step away from Wu Chuan, Chu Xingmu stretched out his hand to grab him. At this moment, a heavy object suddenly fell from upstairs. , just hit Wu Chuan’s head impartially, and Chu Xingmu also fell to the ground as soon as he hid back. He hurriedly climbed to Wu Chuan’s side and looked up at the upstairs. With the closed window, Wu Chuan's head was covered with pottery fragments and dirt, his face was bloody and bloody, lying on the ground and twitching non-stop, there was a scream from passers-by around him, and Wu Chuan wanted to raise his bloody hand to go upstairs The upper finger fell down before it was raised up, and Chu Xingmu sat on the ground slumped on the ground and wiped the blood splashed on his face with his sleeve, panting heavily.

If the person in front is not Wu Chuan, then the person lying here today is Chu Xingmu.

Wen Ti, who came later, saw him sitting on the ground panting for breath, and then her heart sank. There were many people around, some called 120 and some called the police. Wen Ti was worried that even the corpse on the ground would fall Forgot to dodge, so he saw the bloody scene so bluntly, Chu Xingmu hurriedly got up from the ground and asked Wen Ti to turn his back, he took off his coat and covered Wu Chuan's head, His hands were still trembling, and it took only a few tens of seconds for what had just happened.

"Call Xia Ci and tell him to come over quickly." Chu Xingmu said to Wen Ti.

Wen Ti hurriedly called Xia Ci, and Chu Xingmu had a lot of blood on his body, but none of it belonged to him. After the call, Wen Ti asked worriedly, "Where did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine, someone threw down that flower pot on purpose, either to kill Wu Chuan or me." Chu Xingmu said with lingering fear.

Wen Ti thought selfishly that it was someone else who died.

After hearing the news, not only Xia Ci, but also Zhong Changxin and Wen Xiangqin came here. Not long after, the police from the street police station came, and the patrolling policemen also evacuated the crowd as quickly as possible to seal off the scene. Yin Zhou, the captain of the team, also rushed over after receiving the call. Chu Xingmu was used to life and death, and he was often in danger. Let Zhong Changxin and Wen Ti stay outside the cordon, and he went to negotiate with Yin Zhou himself. This place has a lot of surveillance and there are many pedestrians passing by. Chu Xingmu will not be identified as the murderer, even if he came here chasing Wu Chuan They came for a reason, but the murderer who threw the flower pot wanted them all to die.

"Captain Yin, I will trouble you again this time." Chu Xingmu said.

Although Yin Zhou and Chu Xingmu are not in the same place, they still trust Chu Xingmu. He asked, "You mean that Wu Chuan attacked you not long ago?"

"Well, I just saw him in the hotel today, and he ran away when he saw me." Chu Xingmu put his hands on his hips, his expression was very bad.

Xia Ci also said: "I know about the fact that he was attacked by Wuchuan when he came to Yongxing District last time, but we didn't find Wuchuan later, so we didn't take it to heart. Today, Yang Weiyuan's daughter got married. What is the purpose of entering the hotel, and who threw the flower pot from such a high place?"

"There are many people who want to kill me, but I can't think of anyone who wants to kill Wu Chuan and me, except for the one from the Xinyue branch, but Wang Yuemin has been arrested long ago. The reason why the murderer did this Is it because I am afraid that I will ask something from Wu Chuan's mouth?" Chu Xingmu really couldn't figure it out.

There is also the reason why Wu Chuan attacked him for the first time. Chu Xingmu thought it was because he asked Li Yaomin to come forward and let the Shanghe branch hold a grudge against the two police officers who investigated the He Wen rape case for taking bribes and punishing him. At that time, he felt that It is inappropriate for the Shanghe branch to directly expel Wu Chuan. Later, he learned that Wu Chuan had worked under Wang Yuemin. Wu Chuan may have committed major violations of discipline. Could it be that Wu Chuan counted all these on his head and wanted to kill Chu Xing in anger Does Mu vent his anger?

If it happened to hit him the first time, what about this time?This time it was obviously premeditated, but Wu Chuan's target was not him.

The task of on-site investigation can only be given to Yin Zhou. Wu Chuan died in Yongxing District. No matter how powerful Chu Xingmu is, it is impossible to extend his hands to other branches. Now he can only let Yin Zhou investigate this case.

"I know what I need to know. You are all dressed for the wedding banquet. You don't look good before you go back. Why don't you go to our side first?" Yin Zhou asked.

Chu Xingmu shook his head and said, "Don't bother, I have other things."

Hearing what he said, Yin Zhou couldn't keep him anymore, so he said that Chu Xingmu could leave, and he would contact Chu Xingmu at any time if he had any questions later.

Xia Ci and Chu Xingmu came out of the cordon, Wen asked Qin, "How's it going?"

"The third bureau opened a case for investigation, and I have nothing to do for the time being."

Chu Xingmu didn't plan to go back anymore, he asked Xia Ci: "Contact me if you have any questions, you should go back now, it's too bad for such a big day to happen, Xia Ci, please apologize to Yang Xiao for me, I will hold the dinner Don't go, just tell my parents by the way, just say that I took Wen Ti to the hospital to see the dentist, don't tell them what happened just now, just hide it if you can."

Xia Ci fully agreed, and then went back with Wen Xiangqin Zhongchangxin.

Chu Xingmu sat on the edge of the flower bed, Wen Ti took a bottle of water to moisten the handkerchief, helped Chu Xingmu wipe the blood from his face and neck, and gave Chu Xingmu his coat, he was covered in blood now, so as not to scare him to people nearby.

"Did you see it just now?" Chu Xingmu asked.

Wen Ti put the cap on the bottle and nodded, Chu Xingmu asked him, "Are you afraid?"

Wen Ti said: "I'm afraid that one day the person lying there will be you."

Chu Xingmu grabbed Wen Ti's hands with both hands, leaned his head on him and said: "Outside the bathroom, I saw Wu Chuan holding a knife to go in. I kicked the wall before he put away the knife and ran away. Only you."

A chill crawled into Chu Xingmu's heart, as if they were surrounded by eyes, and someone was watching them all the time, as if the next time either Chu Xingmu would not see Wen Ti, or Wen Ti would not see Chu Xingmu.
