monologue

Chu Xingmu's original plan was to send Wen Ti to the Public Security Bureau and then go to Yongxing District, but something delayed him.

In the office of the Public Security Bureau, Tang Zhe and Bai Yao were having breakfast and dealing with the work at hand. Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti put their umbrellas at the door. Tang Zhe immediately asked them "good morning" when they saw each other.

Chu Xingmu glanced at the office and found that only Tang Zhe and Bai Yao stayed behind. He put the briefcase on the table and asked, "Why are there just you two, and the others?"

Bai Yao said: "When I first arrived in the morning, I received a call from the police. The caller was from the southern suburbs of the city, saying that there was a house near their house that they hadn't lived in for many years. The roof collapsed in the middle of the night because of the rain, and it crushed his house. When cleaning the vegetable garden, he found a lot of broken bones, which did not look like animal bones, and fell with the roof."

"Don't wait for the rain to stop before going, what traces can be found now, I have never seen them so active before."

"The deputy team said the rain would stop after a while, so I'm afraid it's an urgent case."

Chu Xingmu guessed that Xia Ci ran so fast because he was guilty of not daring to see him, and he was afraid that he would get angry and poke his hooves at him. A reliable person co-authored several leaders who lied to Chu Xingmu for five years, watched him obey Li Yaomin's orders all day long, and didn't know what happened to Xia Ci's eyes for his desperate appearance. They have been together since they were in school, and they have been friends for 14 years in a blink of an eye, but it was Xia Ci who lied to him first, and Chu Xingmu should be angry.

Chu Xingmu saw that Lang Lang and Zhao Chen were empty, and asked, "Where are Lang Lang and Zhao Chen?"

Tang Zhe replied: "Sister Lang and Brother Zhao went to the Shanghe Sub-bureau to investigate the file of He Wen's rape case."

The fire in Chu Xingmu’s heart hadn’t gone down before he heard this, and he got up again. He asked them to check Wuchuan’s whereabouts in the past few months, but he didn’t ask them to find clues from that case. Just pass it on from the Shanghe Sub-bureau, and if it’s raining, why don’t you go there yourself?

"Who made them go?"

"It seems to be Director Li. Director Li came very early today." Bai Yao said.

Chu Xingmu's face darkened suddenly, what did Li Yaomin ask Lang Lang and the others to find the files of He Wen's case?Although he is the chief of the bureau, he can directly transfer people from his team to the branch office without asking Chu Xingmu's opinion. This has never happened to Chu Xingmu after he has been a policeman for so many years.

The criminal investigation team has only a few people, and there are only a lot of cases accepted every day. Sometimes they are too busy to turn around. Li Yaomin directly took away the two main players in the team. I was arguing with Li Yaomin in the office, but after listening to Wu Huanshan's speech yesterday, Chu Xingmu didn't know how to face him.

Chu Xingmu asked coldly: "Did you send someone to replace you?"

Tang Zhe seemed angry when he heard his tone, and replied carefully: "No other comrades have come over yet."

Chu Xingmu threw the folder in his hand on the table, and sat down with his arms crossed, obviously out of anger, Bai Yao and Tang Zhe didn't dare to speak, they only knew that Chu Xingmu was almost smashed the day before He thought that Chu Xingmu was angry because he didn't catch the murderer.

Wen Ti watched him vent in a muffled voice the whole time, without saying anything to comfort him, he took Chu Xingmu's handbag from Chu Xingmu's hand, took the opportunity to touch Chu Xingmu's hand with his index finger, Chu Xingmu frowned Still not unfolding.

Wen Ti took out from Chu Xingmu's handbag the materials related to mental illness and mental illness crimes that he had sorted out in the past few days. Chu Xingmu mentioned a few words to him a few days ago. Either it is related to mental illness or depression. They have dealt with mental patients and criminals for so many years, and they have not systematically understood this group and the current status in society. Wen Ti asked Zhong Changxin and Chu Xingmu Based on my opinions, I decided to use myself as an example to give a popular science to the criminal investigation team.

Chu Xingmu felt that he couldn't be so passive. Wu Chuan's case hadn't been resolved yet, the murderer of Wu Chuan hadn't been found yet, and Qin Wan's progress wasn't very smooth. Every time he wanted to do something, he could do anything. They happened to collide together, and Chu Xingmu thought for a long time that he couldn't sit still, and he didn't know what Li Yaomin wanted to do, and why Wu Huanshan told him the truth now.

Wen Ti knew that Chu Xingmu might not be very relaxed these days, and she didn't want to trouble him with some things, so she told Chu Xingmu in advance, "I'm going back to the laboratory at noon, and I won't be back in the afternoon."

Chu Xingmu didn't ask him what he was going to do, Wen Ti had to go to the studio and the company, and if there was something to do in the research room, he had to rush over there, and spent most of the rest of his time in the Public Security Bureau, so he couldn't go where he was free , Chu Xingmu asked: "Is Professor Mu Fang in your laboratory recently?"

Wen Ti nodded and said: "There was a meeting in the laboratory before, because Professor Mu Fang and Zhong Changxin were going to attend the wedding banquet, it was temporarily postponed, and they planned to hold it today."

Chu Xingmu rolled his eyes, Wu Huanshan told him that he didn't blame Wu Huanshan, but he still felt strange about some things, such as why Zhou Jinlin was sure that he could threaten Li Yaomin when he kidnapped him?What exactly did Zhou Jinlin want to threaten Li Yaomin?If he was allowed to escape from Qingshi, why would he go back?

Why did Professor Mu Fang stop cooperating with the police after Zhou Jinlin was brought to justice?If he hated Zhou Jinlin's crimes as much as Li Yaomin did, why didn't he associate with Li Yaomin?

Chu Xingmu wanted to know where Zhou Jinlin had been other than going to the Summer Palace on the day Zhao Hailu kidnapped him and Qin Wan.

Wen Ti asked, "Do you want to attend the meeting?"

Chu Xingmu said: "Zhong Changxin holds a meeting like he usually talks to people?"

Wen Ti laughed and said, "Dr. Chung is a genius in the field."

What he meant was similar to what Wen Xiangqin had said about Zhong Changxin.

"Go home early after get off work." Chu Xingmu said.

Wen Ti said: "I want to go to the bar and meet some friends."

Chu Xingmu has no objection to him going to those entertainment venues. After all, Wen Ti was a famous romantic man before he was with him. He has no confidence to keep Wen Ti at home for a lifetime, and he will not do that, let alone Wen Ti's age. It would be a problem if it was as boring as Chu Xingmu, but this period of time is special, and Wen Ti is not at ease going to those places alone.

Chu Xingmu said in a negotiating tone: "Don't run around during this time."

Wen Ti knew what he was worried about. In order to avoid Chu Xingmu's distraction, he agreed casually: "I will make up for it later. Captain Chu has restricted my right to make friends. Do you have to give me some compensation?"

Chu Xingmu looked at him curiously: "What compensation do you want?"

"Lend me the watch you gave me last time to wear it for two days."

On the day after the dinner with Sheng Changxiao and Li Xiaowen, he said that the waiter in the restaurant joked that he was wearing a cheap watch. Of course Chu Xingmu was not happy about it, and the price was several hundred. Someone made fun of Wen Ti because of that watch, and he was more angry than Wen Ti himself, so he took the watch back when he got home, and Wen Ti never saw it again.

"I'll give it to you in two days." Chu Xingmu said, sending him out together won't be called shabby.

The footsteps in the corridor outside were too loud, Wen Ti glanced out, Chu Xingmu followed, Chen Yuyao just ran to the gate, he put the umbrella towards the gate, and shook his hand to shake the stain on the leg of his trousers. Chu Xingmu saw him and asked him: "Old Chen, come to our team early in the morning?"

"What kind of door do you want, don't be poor and come out quickly."

Standing at the door, Chen Yuyao didn't intend to go in, and beckoned to Chu Xingmu to signal him to go out. The two walked to the stairs, and Chen Yuyao asked, "Qin Wan has been in touch with you these past few years?"

"I don't see each other very often. Isn't he running a detective agency now? Ask him for a little help now and then."

Chu Xingmu felt that Chen Yuyao's expression was a little anxious, as if he had heard that the drug dealer he had personally caught had escaped from prison, and asked vigilantly, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Yuyao said: "I told Qin Wan that Wang Yuemin and Zhao Hailu might have something to do with each other. Qin Wan sent me an email yesterday, saying that someone has been sending money to Zhao Hailu's home for the past few years. Isn't his property confiscated? "

Chu Xingmu's frown deepened, and he asked, "Do you know who proposed to retry Zhao Hailu's case?"

Chen Yuyao stared at Chu Xingmu closely and said, "You and Director Li had such an unpleasant quarrel, so you didn't think there was anything strange about what happened these days? I heard about the incident in Yongxing District. Without Bureau Li, I'll give you Brace yourselves, you can't walk anywhere, but someone died that day."

Chu Xingmu asked what he was least willing to ask: "Is it Li Yaomin?"

This matter is related to the anti-narcotics team, Li Yaomin can't hide it from Chen Yuyao, but he has the right not to tell the criminal investigation team, besides, there is only one person in the criminal investigation team who has something to do with the case, Chu Xingmu, although he is the victim, But after something happened that year, Chu Mianzhi used up half of his life's favors, and it took a lot of energy up and down to get Chu Xingmu out of the case.

Chu Xingmu is his son, not someone's victim.

"Actually, it was Wang Yuemin who first brought it up. At that time, you hadn't found out about him. Later, there was no news about his arrest. When Director Li notified you, Zhao Hailu's proposal for retrial had been passed. There are only a few leaders who are in charge, and you should be able to guess without me reminding you, but I don't know who he is going to blame for kidnapping Qin Wan and Xu Chi this time." Chen Yuyao expressed his worries .

"Does Zhao Hailu's defense lawyer know who it is?"

"It's still Sheng Changxiao. Qin Wan's people said that he has been running to the prison and the procuratorate for the past few days. It seems that they are bound to win this time."

"What's going on with Xu Jingru? My old man won't let me meddle in this case. Director Li and Director Wu are watching, so I can only trouble you."

"Xu Mei and Xu Jingru have been sorting out their previous trial materials for the past few days. I'm not used to you being so polite all of a sudden. Are you scaring Wu Chuan?" Chen Yuyao, who was strolling around, was really not used to such a polite Chu Xingmu.

Chu Xingmu unexpectedly didn't scold back, but said: "No, are you afraid that people around you will be stared at?"

Chen Yuyao felt the same way and didn't laugh at him anymore. Xu Chi and Qin Wan are living examples. He lives alone now, and he only goes back to his parents' house once in a while. Whether you are afraid of death or not is one thing, because no one wants to see your family in danger because of your career and yourself.

"That's all I said. You have time to talk to Qin Wan. It won't be long before I leave the courtroom. I'll go back first." Chen Yuyao picked up the umbrella and shook it twice, and passed through the corridor next to it. He also went straight to the Criminal Investigation Team as soon as he entered the Public Security Bureau.

Chu Xingmu returned to the office, and Wen Ti offered to pour him a glass of water seeing his preoccupied appearance. Chu Xingmu suddenly remembered that Wen Ti had only met Sheng Changxiao not long ago, and he casually asked Wen Ti: "Sheng Changxiao has doing what?"

Wen Ti said: "Help Li Xiaowen decorate the music room, it should be finished in time."

Chu Xingmu let out a "hoo": "I'm busy fighting lawsuits again, and I haven't even left behind a side job. I'm more active in making money than I am."

Wen Ti looked at him with a half-smile and thought that Bai Yao and Tang Zhe were still nearby, so she mouthed, "I can take care of Captain Chu."

Chu Xingmu guessed what he meant by his mouth shape, shook his head in a funny way, and the phone alarm sounded, Wen Ti saw that Chu Xingmu was smiling after watching the phone, can you be unhappy about spending money? ?

Chu Xingmu swiped the screen a few times to see a text message about spending not long ago, and his smile disappeared again. Can you be happy about spending money?

On the road in the southern suburbs of the city, because of the rain overnight, several sewer wells were clogged and water was leaking out. The passing vehicles actively avoided the sewer wells that were leaking water. Qi Shaocheng turned the steering wheel hard, and the wheels ran over the wells that were leaking water , muddy water splashed on the white car, Xia Ci turned to Qi Shaocheng and said, "Why don't you fly?"

Qi Shaocheng: "Isn't this in a hurry?"

"Slow down."

Qi Shaocheng yawned, and before he had time to eat the breakfast he bought on the way, he was dragged out of the mission by Xia Ci, "I thought the suburbs were pretty desolate, although it was raining and foggy, but the scenery outside was pretty good, hazy and beautiful .”

"Come on, as long as your aesthetic is still hazy, how long will it be?"

Qi Shaocheng looked at the navigation and said, "10 minutes."

After leaving the urban area, both sides of the road gradually became empty. Most of the houses along the way were factories and factory buildings. The reporter said that the roof of the neighbor’s house was damaged by the rain. When he cleaned it, he found a lot of broken bones, which seemed to be human bones.

After walking for another 5 minutes, they saw scattered residential houses beside the road. Most of the residential houses are divided into two floors, with some scattered and some living together. The family who reported the crime was in a residential area, so the further they walked, the more houses there were. .

When Xia Ci and Qi Shaocheng arrived at their destination, the rain was much lighter. They stopped holding umbrellas at all, and parked their car on the main road outside. The two walked through the path and found the home of the informant. Umbrella was waiting for them at the door of their house. Xia Ci and Qi Shaocheng showed him his ID without delay, and walked to the scene on the muddy path.

The reporter was a 40-year-old middle-aged man named He Zhang. He used to live in the urban area. Because his mother was weak and often fell ill, he didn’t want to live with them in the urban area. After discussing with his wife, he moved here to take care of his elderly body. Weak mother, his mother likes to grow vegetables and flowers, so he opened up an open space near the yard for the old man to take care of flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables for exercise. The old man got up before dawn, saying that he was afraid that the newly ripe tomatoes in the vegetable garden would be soaked by the rain It was rotten, so he asked He Zhang to pick it up quickly while the rain was not heavy. Before he walked out of the yard, he heard a muffled sound from the direction of the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden was just set up between his house and the neighbor's house. The roof of the house collapsed and fell on their vegetable garden. He Zhang took tools to clean it up, but found a lot of broken bones in a pile of tiles and rubble. He Zhang was puzzled. The family whose house collapsed had moved out long ago. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he reported it.

Once at the place, Xia Ci looked at the half-collapsed room and frowned. Where did this start?

Xia Ci and Qi Shaocheng stood at the barren gate and asked He Zhang: "This family's old house has collapsed, and you didn't inform the neighborhood committee to contact the head of the household to come back for a look, instead of calling the police?"

He Zhang said: "Didn't I have a shadow in my heart?"

Qi Shaocheng felt a little helpless holding his forehead, he would have sent two other people over to take a look.

Xia Ci asked, "Where did the original head of the household go?"

"It seems to have moved to the urban area, and I saw them come back a few years ago."

"What's the name of the head of the household?"

"He Xiao."

Xia Ci asked: "He Xiao? Do you know their current home address?"

"I don't know. Their old lady knew my mother very well before, or my mother told me that there was someone living next door before. I don't know much about it not long after I moved back."

Xia Ci asked Qi Shaocheng to call Bai Yao to check He Xiao's current address. Qi Shaocheng turned around to make a phone call. Xia Ci walked around behind the fence to look at the collapsed roof. The height of the house was much higher than the surrounding area. There is also an attic, and the architectural style looks quite old. The wind and rain combined with disrepair, and the wooden beams on the upper floor were broken, causing the roof to collapse.

After a while Qi Shaocheng came back, Xia Ci asked: "Have you found it?"

Qi Shaocheng said strangely: "Xiaobai said that there is no one named He Xiao in Changqing District."

The two looked at He Zhang together, and He Zhang said quickly: "My mother said that the old lady told her that her son's name is He Xiao, and I have never seen her son. My mother can't lie to me, can she?"

Xia Ci said: "Your mother didn't lie to you, then someone lied to your mother."

Wen Ti went to Changqing University at noon, and passed by the teaching building to visit Xi Rui. Xi Rui called him before but he didn't answer. Although Chu Xingmu concealed it for him, he didn't want to make Xi Rui worry. No one cared about him so much. He wanted to explain it himself. When he reached the second floor of the teaching building, his cell phone rang. Wen Ti avoided the people going up and down the stairs, and went to the window of the hall on the second floor to answer the phone. Li Xiaowen thought Inviting him to have dinner with Sheng Changxiao, Wen Ti originally planned to bluntly say that he didn't want to have dinner with Sheng Changxiao, but he hesitated when he thought that Sheng Changxiao was going to defend Zhao Hailu, and finally agreed.

"Xiaowen, I was just looking for you. Xingmu said that you came to school. I guess you haven't eaten yet. I'm afraid you'll eat indiscriminately. Let me watch you." Xi Rui and a female teacher walked upstairs. When I came down, I happened to see Wen Ti standing on the phone on the second floor.

Wen Ti turned off her mobile phone and walked to Xi Rui, and said with a smile, "Hi Auntie, I'm going to find you too."
