monologue

The next morning, Wen Xiangqin woke up from a hangover and found a note on the table with familiar handwriting. He called his assistant and the assistant said that the note was written to him by Chu Xingmu last night. The assistant went to When picking him up, he brought back a note with an address written on it. Wen Xiangqin asked someone to check it. It was the address of a cemetery. Chu Xingmu also wrote the name of the owner of the cemetery.

Wen Xiangqin remembered that when he was in school, the previous director of the Public Security Bureau had recruited interns in their school. Qin has already submitted an application for dropping out of school, and this spot has been given to Chu Xingmu.

Five years later, the director was involved in a huge serial murder case, which caused a sensation in Qingshi. He was removed from the police rank, and the Ministry of Public Security issued an A-level arrest warrant. It is said that he was hacked to death by a mental patient while fleeing.

Since then, there has been a major change within the Qingshi Public Security Bureau. Many people who were involved with the bureau chief have been dismissed and investigated, and several of the people who have been imprisoned are leaders of various sub-bureaus.

Wen Xiangqin only heard about these a little bit, but he didn't understand why Chu Xingmu gave him this address. He turned the note over and over several times, and then found the ticket in the drawer.

Wen Xiangqin sat on the sofa with his arms folded, looking at the handwriting with dim eyes, how can there be any little traffic policeman?No wonder he found the handwriting so familiar. It turned out that the captain of the criminal police of Qingshi City also served as the traffic policeman of Yongxing District. He never thought that those fines were posted by Chu Xingmu.

Wen Ti came down from upstairs, not the same as usual, he was wearing a gray round neck T-shirt, a brooch in the shape of antlers pinned to his chest, dark slacks, sneakers, dark purple curly hair still half up , not as deep as usual, his face was a little more student-like, and he was holding a painting tool in his hand, but the irony is that Wen Ti never went to school for a day.

Wen Ti would only bring her painting tools back when she went out to sketch. Wen Xiangqin raised his eyes to Wen Ti after hearing the footsteps.

Wen Ti walked around the sofa and passed behind Wen Xiangqin. Just as he was about to go out, Wen Xiangqin stopped him.

"Stop." Wen Ti said in a slightly warning tone, "I won't restrict your freedom, but you'd better not interfere with the company's affairs."

Wen Ti turned her back to him and asked him: "If I intervene, will you send me back to Nanjia? That place is useless now."

Wen Xiangqin stopped talking, Wen Ti opened the door and left. Wen Ti was picked up by his father when he was 11 years old, and sent back to a mental hospital by Wen Xiangqin when he was 14 years old. Later, Wen Yihe took out his father's will Wen Xiangqin had no choice but to bring Wen Ti back again.

Why did Wen Yihe easily agree to sign a contract with Huang Qing?How could Wen Yihe be interested in a business that even the Xu family didn't like?

Wen Ti drove to the studio, and the students arrived one after another. In the past, Mr. Butler was in charge of going out to sketch, but this time Wen Ti did not see Mr. Butler. Ti had never seen a strange... woman?

Wen Ti is not sure, because the other party's clothing and hairstyle are too neutral.

Wen Ti walked to the gate on the first floor, and the people on the steps squinted their eyes to make sure and ran over.

"Mr. Wen, right?" the other party asked, with a slightly deep female voice.

"Hello, new assistant?" Wen Ti asked.

The other party nodded, "My name is Jennifer."

Wen Ti stared at the other party for a while, and corrected her pronunciation: "Jennifer."

Jennifer: "My name is Jennifer."

Wen Ti: "..."

The studio arranges students to go out to sketch once a month. In addition to arranging Wendu’s announcements, Mr. Steward is also responsible for the studio’s course arrangements. Most of the time, Wen Ti is the shopkeeper. Under the strong request and strong opposition of Mr. Steward, Wen Ti Finally, he agreed to recruit an assistant to help take care of the related matters of the studio, and relieve Mr. Housekeeper's psychological and physical burden.

The assistant was interviewed by Mr. Butler. Wen Ti hadn't met the new assistant yet, but he just heard from Mr. Butler that the other party was female, and his specialty was drawing and fighting.

And now, his new assistant, Jennifer, appeared. She didn't look very reliable, because she didn't look like a woman at all except for her gender.

Wen Ti walked over to Jennifer with her painting tools, and asked, "Do you hate children?"

Jennifer followed and said, "I don't like it or hate it, I will restrain myself from doing anything to my child."

Wen Ti glanced back at her, Jennifer shrugged and said, "Just kidding."

After a successful meeting with the new assistant, Wen Ti decided to leave early. Zhongyan Natural Park is adjacent to Zhijiang District and Changqing District, but it is under the jurisdiction of Changqing District.

In addition to Zhongyan Natural Park, there are actually Shangyan Scenic Area and Xiayan Zoo. Wen Ti originally planned to use Xiayan Zoo as a sketching place, but the group of children disagreed, perhaps because the animals they saw in the zoo were not the same as Their perception of free-running animals is too different. Compared with drawing animals that are locked up, children are more inclined to draw plants that grow wantonly, so Wen Ti decided to take them to Zhongyan Natural Park.

It takes more than half an hour from Changqing Street to Zhongyan Natural Park. Besides Wen Ti and Jennifer, there are two teachers hired by the studio.

At 11:30 in the morning, after drawing for about an hour, Wen Ti asked them to rest where they were, and they could eat the lunch they brought, but they were not allowed to run around. There is a winding path to the north of the natural park, which was stepped on by the rangers. , leading to a virgin forest, the road is very long, and the natural park has set up a large protective net around the virgin forest to prevent animals in the deep forest from running out to hurt people, or tourists getting lost and injured.

Jennifer and two other teachers took care of the children eating. Wen Ti took out a camera from her backpack and pointed the lens at the children who were eating. Through the lens, he suddenly found that there was someone missing. Although they are all together with Su Luoshu, Su Luoshu is alone today?

Not long ago, Wen Ti had directed Jiang Ran's paintings. Jiang Ran was not in the camp, Wen Ti immediately put down the camera, turned around, and suddenly saw Jiang Ran coming up from a small slope.

There is a lot of flat land around here, and the view is very wide. They gathered under the two big pagoda trees.

Seeing Jiang Ran came back, Wen Ti felt relieved. Jiang Ran would respond a little to what the people around her said. After Jiang Ran approached, Wen Ti was about to talk about safety issues with Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran paled Looking at the hem of Wen Ti's clothes, trying to drag him somewhere.

Wen Ti felt that Jiang Ran was very disturbed, his hands were shaking, so he hugged Jiang Ran and walked down from the place where Jiang Ran came up. Jennifer shouted behind them: "Boss, where are you going?"

Wen Ti turned her head and told her: "Take care of the children, don't let them run around."

Jennifer said "Oh" and went back.

On the grass less than ten meters away from Wen Ti and Jiang Ran down the small slope, there is a mass of black things. Although the weeds are overgrown and difficult to find, other colors suddenly appear in the large green area, which is still very eye-catching visually.

Wen Ti had a bad premonition, looked at Jiang Ran who was lying on his shoulder, and then covered Jiang Ran's eyes with his hands.

When Wen Ti slowly approached the black object, she realized that the surrounding colors were not only green and black, but also red. Wen Ti stood still in front of the black garbage bag, looked down at the hands exposed in the garbage bag, and hugged Jiang tightly. Of course.

At noon, a cordon was set up in the northwest of Zhongyan Natural Park. Three or four police cars stopped at the foot of the mountain. Han Yang, wearing a forensic uniform, set up the cordon and entered.

There were many people outside the cordon, including nearby tourists, art students and teachers, police officers, park staff and so on.

Chu Xingmu arrived at the scene after Han Yang. Tang Zhe squatted outside the cordon and almost vomited his bile. Chu Xingmu walked over and patted him on the back a few times, pinched his nose and asked, "What's the future? Bai blind My drunken shrimp!"

Around 11:30, the Municipal Bureau received a call to the police, saying that a broken body was found in Zhongyan Natural Park. Tang Zhe was the first to dispatch the police with Qi Shaocheng. The first time to observe the dismembered corpse up close, unfortunately, he vomited.

"Captain Chu, too..." Before Tang Zhe finished speaking, he began to retch again. Chu Xingmu threw Tang Zhe a bottle of water and entered the warning area by himself.

Han Yang and a few comrades were examining the dismembered corpses. Chu Xingmu walked up to Han Yang and looked down at the dismembered corpses. No wonder Tang Zhe spit out such a virtue.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Chu Xingmu asked Han Yang.

Han Yang picked up a wriggling maggot with tweezers, brought it in front of Chu Xingmu, and said, "Look at the plumpness, it's more than 72 hours."

Chu Xingmu: "..."

"Preliminary judgment shows that the dismembered corpse found in the trash can along the way came from the same corpse. Judging by the degree of decay, the hands should be the first to be discarded."

Chu Xingmu asked: "How can you be sure it's from the same corpse?"

"The dismembered corpses along the way have only two feet, and they are wrapped in black garbage bags and discarded. The ones here are the same. Subjectively, you may think it is not, but I found something in this garbage bag." Han Yang picked it up again with tweezers A mess of black things, "Cotton, cotton was also found in the corpses along the way, it should be cotton balls, look at the position of the thumb."

Chu Xingmu squatted down, his hands were already rotten and smelly.

"There is something on his thumb joint, it should be medical tape, cotton, and there is also medical tape on his foot found along the way."

Han Yang removed the black garbage bag and said, "Now we can confirm that the deceased is a male, about 35 to 40 years old. Just in case, take the body part back for a DNA test."

Chu Xingmu asked: "The rottenness of the two corpses found on the same day differs by 72 hours?"

"More than 72 hours, the biggest possibility is that the body was divided into many pieces, and the body should have been dumped for at least three days. It is normal for the hands to rot like this. The temperature is so high that the fried dishes in the morning can go bad in the afternoon, let alone frozen for a few days. The meat was exposed to the sun for another three days. If it was feet, it should have just been taken out of the freezer. The ratio of blood to water in the garbage bag was more water than blood, indicating that the frozen ice had just disappeared, so the sanitation worker pinched it. It will feel soft when it reaches the garbage bag."

"Can you think about your choice of words?" Chu Xingmu couldn't bear to ask.

Han Yang shrugged, "How do you decide? Maggots taste good? Bloody bags feel good?"

Chu Xingmu waved his hand, letting Han Fayi let himself go, and he went around to understand the situation again.

"Wen Ti." Chu Xingmu walked outside the cordon and saw Wen Ti in the crowd at a glance.

"Why is it you again?" Chu Xingmu walked over, and the onlookers made way for him.

Chu Xingmu walked up to Wen Ti, saw Jiang Ran huddled in Wen Ti's arms, and asked, "What's wrong with this child?"

"He discovered it." Wen Ti said, "But I don't want you police to treat him as a witness. He has autism and was frightened just now. Now his world is in chaos. I don't want you to provoke him any more. he."

"Where are his parents?"

"Your people have detained us all here, Uncle Policeman, you can't be so unreasonable, can you? Ten children, with an average age of no more than ten years old, have been waiting here for more than half an hour." Wen Ti hadn't spoken yet. , Jennifer was the first to speak. Jennifer saw Chu Xingmu casually entering and exiting the warning area just now, and looked at the attitude of other policemen towards him, so she guessed that he was the leader.

"What's your name?" Chu Xingmu asked.

"Jennifer."

"Okay, Jennifer, right? We didn't detain you. You are the informants, and it's a normal process to cooperate with transcripts and confessions." After Chu Xingmu finished speaking, he said to a policeman behind Jennifer, "How's the question going?"

The policeman replied: "I have asked everything clearly."

Chu Xingmu turned to Jennifer and said, "Now you and your colleagues can send the other nine children back."

"What about them?" Jennifer pointed to Wen Ti and Jiang Ran and asked, is she going to abandon her boss on the first day of work?

"I can't leave for the time being, I still have something to ask them."

Jennifer looked at Wen Ti, she was waiting for Wen Ti's instructions, Wen Ti said: "Send the children back first, don't worry, I have to take Jiang Ran to another place, call his parents, just tell me I will personally send Jiang Ran home."

"Aren't Brother Wen Ti and Ah Ran leaving?" Su Luoshu ran over from behind Jennifer.

She didn't know what happened. She only knew that Wen Ti asked Jennifer to call the police when she came back with Jiang Ran in her arms. Not long after, many police officers came, and they stayed under the tree, even the sketching activity ended early.

Wen Ti put Jiang Ran down, Jiang Ran looked at Chu Xingmu timidly, he walked up to Su Luoshu, pointed to a yellow flower on the ground, Su Luoshu nodded with a smile, and then ran away.

Chu Xingmu didn't understand how the two children communicated, but it seemed that they had reached a consensus.

A few minutes later, Jennifer and two other teachers took their nine children down the mountain under the escort of several police officers.

"Can you talk?" Chu Xingmu squatted in front of Jiang Ran and asked Wen Ti.

"Yes, it's best not to ask now."

Jiang Ran glanced at Chu Xingmu, then retracted into Wen Ti's arms.

"His cognition does not include the words dismembered corpse and dead person, but his instinctive reaction when he sees dismembered corpse is fear. If Captain Chu has any questions, please ask me as soon as possible. I will take him to see a doctor." Wen Ti Looking at Jiang Ran, he said.

No matter how unkind Chu Xingmu was, he couldn't forcefully detain them. A child with autism saw a corpse that made adults react violently. If it was a normal child, he would have cried in fright, but Jiang Ran obviously He hasn't realized what's going on yet, he just instinctively feels scared, Wen Ti is now a safe "house" for him, and Chu Xingmu is the big bad wolf wandering outside the house, Jiang Ran is afraid of Chu Line dusk.

He couldn't ask anything, so he had to wait until he got back to the bureau to learn more about the situation. At present, it seems that it is correct for Wen Ti to take Jiang Ran away as soon as possible.
