monologue

He Wen's face was very pale and she was very thin. Her eyes were black and blue. It was obvious that she hadn't rested for a long time, and her mental state was also very bad. I don't know what He Wen's mother told her. Opposite Xia Ci and Lang Lang, without looking up, He Wen hugged her legs and curled up as soon as she sat on the sofa. He Wen's mother sat aside and watched distressedly, and couldn't hold back a few tears.

"She has been like this for a whole month, and she can't sleep well even if I sleep with her at night." He Wen's mother said, wiping her tears.

Lang Lang took out two photos from her bag, she put the photos on the coffee table and pushed them in front of He Wen, and said softly: "He Wen, please recall, did you meet these two people in the taxi that night? people who have been there?"

After hearing Lang Lang's voice, He Wen raised her head, stared at the two photos for a few seconds, and said with a very certain tone: "It's them!"

Lang Lang and Xia Ci did not ask about the specific situation of that night, which was a kind of torture for He Wen. Recalling that disgusting and frightening night was like falling into a dark and biting ice cave, full of fear and despair. It devoured her over and over again.

Xia Ci said: "These two people, one is Liu Junsheng and the other is Yu Haiming. The one who raped you was Liu Junsheng. Liu Junsheng died and was divided into 26 pieces. I don't know if this news is worth it to you. Good news."

He Wen and her mother were a little stunned. They didn't know whether to be happy or afraid. Their expressions were very complicated. It was true that they hated Liu Junsheng and Yu Haiming. They knew that Liu Junsheng was not only killed but also dismembered. They seemed so happy, because both of them understood the reason why Xia Ci and Lang Lang came to find them. This was undoubtedly another cruel and helpless thing.

Lang Lang could see what the mother and daughter were thinking, so before they spoke, Lang Lang explained: "We came here today to confirm this matter, there is no other purpose."

He Wen said in a low voice: "Thank you." She didn't know what to say, or what language to use to describe this ironic and absurd fact: the police suspected that she was the murderer of Liu Junsheng.

Before leaving, Lang Lang asked He Wen why she drank so much that night. He Wen said that she was in a bad mood after a fight with her boyfriend, and she left in the middle of the dinner.

Lang Lang and Xia Ci didn't speak when they went downstairs. After walking to the parking lot, Lang Lang sighed and said, "Liu Junsheng's death has nothing to do with He Wen, He Wen is the victim."

Although Xia Ci still had doubts, she had to agree with Lang Lang's words. He Wen's sentence "I thought the police wouldn't help me anymore" reminded Lang Lang that she had the same thought when her master died, " Can the police help her?"

Help her catch the fugitive, and help her send her master to the hospital. She is a policeman. She chose to catch the fugitive. When she rushed to the master, he was in shock due to excessive blood loss. Because he died a few minutes late, Lang Lang kept thinking, "If there is another policeman helping me, will Master not die?"

"There is still a question to be verified, which is the identity of the group of people who beat Liu Junsheng before he disappeared, and why they beat him." Xia Ci opened the car door, turned around and found Lang Lang standing there in a daze, Xia Ci called her, Lang Lang withdrew his thoughts and got into the car.

It was 09:30 in the evening when Chu Xingmu and others left the University of Medical Sciences. When they walked to the garage of the University of Medical Sciences, Chu Xingmu answered a phone call.

Wen Ti went to pick up the car, Chu Xingmu and Zhong Changxin stood by the driveway and waited for Wen Ti, after Chu Xingmu hung up the phone, he said to Zhong Changxin: "The girl who was raped by Liu Junsheng is a clinical doctor of the University of Medical Sciences. Professional juniors."

Zhong Changxin rested his arms on his elbows and rested his chin in thought. Wen Ti turned on the high beams while driving the car from the corner. At the moment when the lights were on, Chu Xingmu felt that he was going blind.

After Wen Ti drove the car over, Zhong Changxin took two steps back and said, "I suddenly remembered something that I forgot to tell Yao Lao, you guys go first."

Chu Xingmu looked at Zhong Changxin suspiciously. Zhong Changxin glanced at Wen Ti. Wen Ti didn't speak or look at him. Zhong Changxin said "goodbye" and turned to walk towards the laboratory building. Chu Xing Mu also had his own plans, so he got into Wen Ti's car.

Wen Ti asked, "Where are you going?"

Chu Xingmu said: "Go back to the game."

Zhong Changxin watched the sports car go away, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called his assistant Qin Feifei, asking her to come pick him up.

On the way back, Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu didn't say a word, one concentrated on driving, and the other concentrated on looking out the window. Chu Xingmu sometimes likes to be outspoken, but now he doesn't know how to ask Wen Ti. Wen Ti's attitude before It's not as indifferent as it is now, but which time did Wen Ti meet Chu Xingmu with cold words recently?Why on earth did Wen Ti have such hostility and rejection towards him?Is it just because he knew Wen Xiangqin?

Chu Xingmu thought to himself, it's hard to guess what a kid is thinking, and Chu Xingmu doesn't owe Wen Ti anything.

"Is there some misunderstanding between us? It makes you angry every time you see me?" Chu Xingmu, who had figured this out, didn't care anymore. After seeing enough of the dark window, he turned his gaze to Wen Ti.

"If you must know the reason, I hate you, it's that simple." Wen Ti said looking straight ahead.

When the car stopped slowly on the sidewalk, the red light came on, Chu Xingmu looked straight at Wen Ti, "Why do you hate me? The first time we met, you hit me, no apology, no Compensation, I should be angry, what about you?"

"Meeting for the first time?" Wen Ti suddenly realized, "Yes, we met for the first time. After hearing what Wen Xiangqin said, what you were thinking at the time was how to catch me in. You suspected that I killed Huang Qing. Kill Suai, because I am mentally ill, do you think that if I live, I will definitely endanger the society?"

"Wen Xiangqin is no exception, he is also a suspect." Chu Xingmu said, "I never thought about it that way."

"But you trust him." Wen Ti replied.

"I have doubted him too, I have doubted everyone related to the case." Chu Xingmu unknotted his seat belt at some point, leaned over to Wen Ti, and Wen Ti did not panic in the face of the imposing oppression, Chu Xingmu Mu whispered: "It's not for this reason, there must be other reasons, why do you hate me?"

Wen Ti raised her head and looked at Chu Xingmu. His eyes were straightforward and explicit, as if he had the ability to penetrate people's hearts. The light from the dashboard hit the faces of the two of them. Chu Xingmu narrowed his eyes, and the car seemed to suddenly change. It was very quiet, and it seemed that he could hear the other party's out-of-control heartbeat, until the hurried horn sounded behind him, Wen Ti looked into Chu Xingmu's eyes and said, "The light is green."

As if waking up from a dream, Chu Xingmu sat back in his seat and fastened his seat belt again. His expression didn't change much, but he felt that his heartbeat was really abnormal. He thought it was because of nervousness. Looking at each other, he was nervous, afraid that Wen Ti's piercing eyes would see what he was thinking, but what was he thinking at that time?

In the middle of the night, the Guxiang Street is empty. Although there are street lights on both sides of the road, because most of the buildings in the Guxiang Street are connected, there are many small alleys, and there are no lights. The street lights on the main street cannot shine into the alley. , Yang Dafu hurriedly walked deep into the alley with a flashlight. The aisle wind in the alley blew past his ears. This kind of place with blue bricks and red tiles would be very cool especially at night. For some reason, Yang Dafu suddenly felt that today The way home at night is a bit unusual. In the past, he would go home before 11:30. After closing the stall, he would contact the slaughterhouse, order fresh meat for the next day, and go to the slaughterhouse to pick up the meat at four o'clock in the morning. He does it all.

A stray cat ran past Yang Dafu and jumped onto the low wall. The stray cat stepped on a tile. I don’t know if it was due to years of disrepair. Several tiles on the wall crackled and fell off. Yang Dafu turned around in surprise. Holding the flashlight and looking back, his back began to sweat coldly. When the light of the flashlight hit the wall, Yang Dafu saw the cat's eyes glowing green. The fallen tile fragments were pushed to the base of the wall with their feet, lest someone walking behind without turning on the light would step on the tiles and fall down and be injured.

When he was about to leave the alley, a chill spread over Yang Dafu's head, and he seemed to hear the sound of a meat cleaver vaguely. He has been selling meat all year round, and he is familiar with all kinds of meat cleavers. He heard this voice in his heart Frustrated, Yang Dafu quickened his pace, the entrance of the alley was not far ahead, he panted heavily and ran towards the entrance of the alley as if fleeing, maybe it was a psychological effect, he felt that someone was always following behind him, and he used it as soon as he walked a few steps Turn around with the flashlight and take a look. The sound of the meat cleaver just now reminded him of the conversation the police had with him not long ago. Guxiang Street is very unsafe these days. Since the dismembered body was discovered, people who went out to shop at night have dispersed very quickly. Early, there are scattered people in Guxiang Street after twelve o’clock, but now there are no people at eleven o’clock. TV, news, radio, and newspapers tell people to pay attention to safety when they go out at night. The police haven’t caught them yet. to the murderer.

The black dog ran back to the door of the butcher shop with the half-cut off arm wrapped in blood in its mouth, and licked the meat with its pink tongue. After the blood was licked, the arm showed its original appearance , the little girl stood next to the black dog and screamed, then burst into tears.Yang Dafu kept recalling the first time he saw the stump in his mind, he felt as if someone was approaching behind him, the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty and dark alley, messy, hurried, and even ran, the alley entrance was in front, He will be able to go out in a few more steps, his back is soaked in cold sweat, the top of his head is chilly, and the hairs all over his body are standing on end. Yang Dafu ran out of the alley in cold sweat, saw the familiar street, heard After hearing the familiar car horn, he bent down and supported his knees to breathe in the fresh air.

"Brother Yang, are you alright?" The sudden voice of inquiry made Yang Dafu startled, he barely raised his head, and let out a long breath after seeing the person coming.

"Zheyu? Why is it you? I'm fine." Yang Dafu asked, he calmed down a little.

The boy named Zheyu said with a smile: "I just saw you running out of the alley in a panic. I thought something happened to you."

"Hey, it's a stray cat. It's nothing serious. You haven't come home so late?" Yang Dafu asked.

"I went back to the milk tea shop to get something. I forgot it when I was leaving during the day. I just remembered that it will be useful tomorrow." Su Zheyu replied, "Then Brother Yang, you should go home early, I will leave first."

Yang Dafu nodded slightly, Su Zheyu walked into the alley, Yang Dafu couldn't help calling him: "Zheyu!"

"What's wrong?" Su Zheyu turned around in doubt.Yang Dafu shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious, the cat kicked off the tiles on the wall, so be careful when you leave."

"Thank you Brother Yang, then I'm leaving." Su Zheyu thanked him with a smile, and went deep into the alley.

Looking at the dark alley, Yang Dafu was frightened, as if there was some man-eating monster waiting in that alley, he looked at the flashlight in his hand, thinking that he should give the flashlight to Su Zheyu, it was too dark inside up.

Wen Ti sent Chu Xingmu to the gate of the Municipal Bureau, Bai Yao and Tang Zhe came out of the building to take out food, a red Porsche 911 slowly stopped at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, Bai Yao immediately grabbed Tang Zhe's arm, startled Called: "911? My God, there are a lot of luxury cars in front of our bureau recently!"

Tang Zhe stretched his neck to look around. His focus was different from Bai Yao's. After seeing Chu Xingmu who got off the car, he asked Bai Yao, "Senior sister, is that the captain?"

"You don't even need to look at it! Unshaven black shirt, I remember he came back in a Bentley last time." Bai Yao looked like a gossip paparazzi.

Tang Zhe pulled her and said: "Senior sister, let's take the food back first, if the captain sees it, we will be scolded again."

Bai Yao felt the same way, the two tried their best to pretend not to see Chu Xingmu, and after turning around and walking a few steps, it was Chu Xingmu who stopped them.

"Why are you two sneaking around?" Chu Xingmu hurried over.

Bai Yao couldn't hold back her curiosity, and immediately asked, "Captain, which social elite sent you back this time?"

"Which social elite do you care about, how is the case investigation going? You know gossip all day long." Although Chu Xingmu said this, his tone was not blaming, and he only said a few symbolic words.

Bai Yao pointed to the takeaways in Tang Zhe's hands, and followed Chu Xingmu and said, "The deputy team and everyone have been running for a day. The takeaway you just ordered, captain, have you been reinstated?"

"Yeah, I have a meeting after supper. I've checked all kinds of things these days, so it's time to sort them out."

After Chu Xingmu stepped into the office, he noticed that the atmosphere in the office was very dignified. Qi Shaocheng's ashes-like expression made him feel a toothache, so he picked up the folder on the table and patted Qi Shaocheng. Qi Shaocheng rubbed his eyes Jumped up: "Boss? Your vacation is over so soon?" He didn't have time to be late.

"Nonsense." Chu Xingmu threw the folder on the table and walked towards his own desk. Qi Shaocheng still felt strange. Usually, Chu Xingmu didn't talk so little, and his attitude was so peaceful, as if he was a different person. .After Chu Xingmu saw Xia Ci, he stared at him with the eyes of a troubled brother, Xia Ci gave him a blank look: "Get lost."

Xia Ci was also criticized by Li Yaomin. Just 10 minutes before Chu Xingmu came back, Li Yaomin’s criticism of Xia Ci was no less than his criticism of Chu Xingmu. Now reporters publish various questions in newspapers and news every day. Information, the panic of the citizens is not only the source of the media and themselves, but also doubts and distrust of the police. People are discussing the dismemberment case every day, asking relatives and friends to be careful when going out, and must go home before the specified time, no matter where they go They have to go together, as if the whole city is full of murderers, but the police are standing by helplessly.

"Okay, isn't it just a thought class? Hurry up to eat, and have a meeting after eating. If you have time to be sentimental, it is better to think about the key to solving the case." Chu Xingmu took his own things and went to the conference room first, and the others got up and went to the conference room Walking in, the temperature of the seven or eight takeaways placed on the table gradually cooled down.
