Lin Qin-Arakawa

Lin Tao thought: Lao Qin is quite easy to get along with.

The man Lin Tao captured was Hua Qiang. Xiao Hei and the others tried all day and night to try the murder case, but they also brought up other cases. It was a missing persons case last month, and the missing person was a policeman. Lin Tao didn't know the policeman in a certain place, but the man surnamed Hua said that the policeman was killed by him, and that the body was thrown in a pond in the suburbs.Xiao Hei took someone to look for it, and when he came back, he told Lin Tao that he couldn't find it.

Lin Tao interrogated Hua Qiang again, Hua Qiang looked at Xiao Hei and the others who were tossing hard, and even laughed, and said, "Oh, I forgot, I threw him in after I drowned him by the water, and then I thought about what if What to do if it floats up and is found, and it is thrown into the garbage dump behind the snack street."

"Who are you fooling! The garbage in the snack street is cleared every day, do you think I'm a fool?"

"You're right. I thought so too at the time, so I didn't throw it there in the end. It seemed... oh, it went to the abandoned factory next to the national highway."

Lin Tao slammed his fist on the table and said, "Don't play tricks on me. What kind of enmity do you have with the police? I'll give you a chance, tell me!"

"Captain Lin, calm down!"

Lin Tao shook off Xiao Hei and said, "Go on, I'll take people to the factory."

As Lin Tao said, he was about to go out, when Hua Qiang spoke up behind him again, and said, "This time it's true, remember to search carefully, it's hard to find. You are different from other policemen, and I like you very much."

Lin Tao's anger went up for no reason, he went out and closed the door heavily, ordered a few people and went out in the direction of the national highway.Lin Tao was driving the car, and halfway through the drive his cell phone rang. Lin Tao took out the cell phone and threw it to Lao Chu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Old Chu hung up the phone and said, "Team Lin, it's been found out. The missing person is Yin Hang, who is in a lover relationship with Huaqiang's wife. Because this relationship is extremely secret, the colleagues who investigated the disappearance case did not find Huaqiang. .”

Lin Tao knocked on the steering wheel and cursed: "Scum!"

Old Chu didn't know who Lin Tao was scolding, but he guessed that he might be scolding Yin Hang.Although Lin Tao has not been in the criminal police team for a long time, everyone can feel his overwhelming sense of justice, respect and obsession with his identity as a policeman.

Lin Tao's car drove very fast, and soon arrived at the abandoned factory next to the national road on the outskirts of the city. Several people got out of the car. Lin Tao looked at the deserted suburbs and some dilapidated courtyard walls. The gate of the factory was old-fashioned, and the paint had peeled off. For the most part, XX machinery factory can be vaguely seen from the sign hanging on one side. Lin Tao had an uncle who used to work in this kind of large machinery factory. A feeling of sadness came.

Lin Tao snorted, thinking that since returning to China, he had started to feel sad. He stubbed out his cigarette and said to Lao Chu, "When I arrested Huaqiang, he said that he didn't want to run away at all, and he just waited for the police to come and kill him a lot." Several policemen. He hates the police so much, how many policemen did his wife have sex with?"

Old Chu chuckled and said, "Captain Lin, I don't know about that."

The factory has been abandoned for many years, and only a not-so-wide cement road in front of the main entrance has not been occupied by weeds. Lao Chu pointed to the simple house at the entrance of the factory and said, "There is an old man on duty here. "

Lin Tao nodded to show that he understood. This kind of factory is very big, so it is better to ask about the situation first.He walked along the cement road to the door of the simple house, knocked on the door, and soon an old man in his sixties who seemed to be in good shape opened the door for them. The old man looked Lin Tao up and down and said, " What's the matter, lad?"

Lin Tao showed his ID to the uncle, and said, "We are the police, and I want to know something from you."

"Comrade policeman, come in and sit down, come in and sit down."

Lin Tao saw that the simple room was not spacious, so he just called Lao Chu to follow him in, and asked the other brothers to go outside to see the surrounding situation.

There was only one chair in the room. The uncle let Lin Tao and Lao Chu sit on his simple wooden bed, poured a glass of water for Lin Tao and Lao Chu, and said, "Comrade police, I don't have any tea here, drink water, drink water ah!"

Lin Tao glanced at this small, simple but clean and tidy room, and said, "Master, do you usually live here?"

"Ah, yes. Old man, I have no children or a wife and left early. It's good for me to live here alone. I can help people look at the door and pay a few hundred yuan a month."

"Then do you usually go to the factory to check? Are there other doors in this factory?"

"Comrade policemen, if you are young, you may not know this kind of factory. The inside is huge. There are several doors. The outside is the main entrance. There is basically nothing left inside, and it is messy and unsafe, so it is basically forbidden to enter. This factory There are more than a dozen workshops and warehouses... Comrade policemen, what are you doing in such a place?"

"Criminal case! Uncle, are you familiar with it? Can you take me in and have a look?"

"No problem. I used to work here when I was young, but wait a minute. When my dog ​​comes back, let him follow him. I don't know if there are any snakes here."

Just as Lao Chu was about to speak, he saw a dog come in with its head on the door curtain, with a bag in its mouth.Seeing the dog came back, the old man cheerfully took the bag in his mouth, patted the dog's head, and said, "I have a nephew who lives in a nearby village. My dog ​​often goes for a walk in the village. Sometimes my nephew sees it Let it bring me something. Come on, let me lead you in."

The dog barked twice excitedly when he heard that he was going out with his owner. Lin Tao saw that the dog was the most common yellow dog in China.

There was a small door on the rusty factory gate, and the lock was covered with a piece of rubber without rust. The uncle took out the key and opened the door, and the dog rushed in first.

The situation inside the factory is similar to the outside, weeds are overgrown, and the sides of the concrete road have been broken into pieces, exposing the steel bars buried inside during road construction.The left hand side looks like a concrete basketball court, and the rusty basketball hoop is still standing.A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Tao felt that the basketball hoop was shaking and looked like it was about to fall.

"It's like a maze here, it's not safe if no one leads you. Hey, comrade police, you can't take the road on the right. There is a scaffolding in front of it that has collapsed in half. It's too dangerous. If you want to look over there, I'll guide you later." Go around. Here, the concrete houses are still solid, but those iron frames are not safe anymore, don’t dare to touch them!”

For such a large factory, more than a dozen workshops plus warehouse and office buildings, it may take a lot of time and manpower to really find them, and most of these buildings have become dilapidated buildings and are not very safe.

Lin Tao began to recall what Hua Qiang said, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked the old man: "Master, I remember that this kind of big factory will have a garden pond, where is it?"

"Yes, yes, near the east gate, I will lead you there."

The garden near the east gate is very large, an old-fashioned garden with a large pond, corridors on the water, and swings and benches around it. It can be seen that it used to be a beautiful place.

The pond was already dry. Lin Tao walked around the corridor and asked again, "Are there any other ponds? The ones with water?"

The uncle pointed to a small path and said, "There is a small cistern over there. It used to be a place to draw water for irrigation. If there is water, that is probably the only place. Would you go and have a look?"

Lin Tao and Lao Chu walked along the path, and there was indeed a reservoir, and there was indeed a male corpse in the reservoir.Lin Tao scolded his mother, and said, "Call Chief Qin to come over."

Qin Ming came here with his colleagues in his own car, and Lin Tao asked Lao Chu to pick them up at the door.Although Qin Ming is the chief of the forensic department, but the profession of forensic medicine is really scarce. Apart from Zhao Dabao who has just been transferred, there is only Qin Ming left in the forensic department of their Longpan City, which is basically equal to the polished commander.

Qin Ming squatted down and looked at it, and said: "This Huaqiang is cruel enough. The deceased was tied to the ladder by the pond and couldn't move. The height of the water was just below the mouth and nose of the deceased. It can make the mouth and nose above the water. After a long time, the dead will still be unable to escape from being drowned. How desperate should that be? What kind of hatred does Huaqiang have for the dead?"

"His wife is having an affair with this man named Yin Hang. This is probably the deep hatred you mentioned." Lin Tao looked at Qin Ming with his arms crossed, "Old Qin, do you want to help?"

"Salvage the body, and be careful not to destroy the evidence. I don't think I need to say more, as a criminal policeman, you should understand everything."

"Understood!" Lin Tao rolled up his sleeves and beckoned Old Chu to help.

Qin Ming took advantage of Lin Tao and Lao Chu's busy work there, so he went to check the situation with his colleagues in the trace inspection. Lao Chu helped him and asked, "Captain Lin, when did you get so close to Section Chief Qin? Except for a few leaders Just call him by name, no one in our police station dares to call him Lao Qin."

"Why? Lao Qin eats people?"

"No, on the one hand, Section Chief Qin's professional level is too high, and everyone respects him. On the other hand, as long as a newcomer calls him Lao Qin, he will reply: Do I know you well? How embarrassing Keep calling."

"Huh?" Lin Tao was delighted when he heard it, and said, "He told me that too. What's the matter? I think Lao Qin is a good person. The last time I caught Huaqiang's injury, he helped me. dealt with."

"Didn't Chief Qin tell you: I'm a forensic doctor! Did you say that?"

"Say it!"

Old Chu shut his mouth, he felt that there was no need to continue this conversation.

After the body was salvaged, Qin Ming put on gloves and began to conduct a preliminary inspection. There were many obvious marks of rope binding on the body of the deceased, non-fatal strangulation marks on the neck, and several marks of cigarette butt burns on the body, all of which were caused during his lifetime. of.

Lin Tao watched Qin Ming work and said, "This Huaqiang is probably a psychopath, right?"

The initial examination didn't last long, and the corpse was quickly sent back to the bureau, where it was placed on Qin Ming's dissection table.

Lin Tao sat on a chair and waited for the forensic doctor to come out with the results. The evidence in this case was conclusive, and Hua Qiang also pleaded guilty. Qin Ming's forensic report should not have any other impact on the result.

Qin Ming's forensic report came out quickly, and with the report of the trace inspection department and Huaqiang's own confession, the case could be closed smoothly.

Closing a case is a victory!Lin Tao secretly celebrated in advance in his heart.Before Lin Tao finished celebrating, Xiao Hei came to Lin Tao and said that Hua Qiang wanted to see him.

Lin Tao wondered why Huaqiang wanted to see him at this time?When he walked into the interrogation room and sat opposite Hua Qiang, he still hadn't figured it out.

Huaqiang proposed to turn off the monitor. Although it did not comply with the regulations, Lin Tao still asked someone to turn off the monitor.

Hua Qiang looked up at Lin Tao and said, "Tan Tao, don't you remember my face?"

Lin Tao frowned, the name TanTao made him startled, he said, "Who are you?"

"No wonder." Hua Qiang said as he raised his handcuffed hands and ruffled his hair, "So, how about a beard?"

"Gao Yan!"

"Tao, you finally recognized me."

Gao Yan was a mercenary that Lin Tao met when he was an undercover agent in the Golden Triangle Generation. Later, he heard that he quit his job and returned to China to get married. I didn't expect to see him here.

"I only know now that I met you. You turned out to be an undercover agent for the police. Tao, I really regarded you as a friend back then, so today I have something to say to you."

"You say it."

Gao Yan sighed and said: "Tao, do you know that the Golden Triangle has a magical power that can drive people crazy. I thought I had found true love, but she betrayed me, I killed Yin Hang, I killed my wife , I really couldn't help it when I deliberately played tricks on you. Can you understand?"

Lin Tao nodded and shook his head again. He remembered what King said before he left the Golden Triangle:

"TanTao, you will come back sooner or later, you are a born desperado."

"You will not be able to escape the temptation here for the rest of your life."

Gao Yan leaned back in his chair and said, "Many people who have left the Golden Triangle have returned, and there are many people like me who have become lunatics. Tao, if you can, I hope you will never fall into this whirlpool."

Gao Yan said and smiled again: "Look at you now, you are better than me, you will definitely not let yourself become a person like me. But I want to tell you, no matter what, you must never go back to the Golden Triangle. Because in fact, I went back once two years ago, and I almost didn't want to come back, the temptation of that place is sometimes more terrifying than killing you."

Lin Tao stood up and turned his back to Gao Yan, and said: "I understand what you said, and I really regarded you as a friend back then. You cannot avoid the death penalty. This is the last time I will talk to you as a friend. My real name is Lin Tao .”

Gao Yan smiled and said, "Huaqiang is my real name. The one written in the household registration book. Also, if it wasn't you who came to arrest me that day, I might not have given in so easily."

Lin Tao came out of the door of the interrogation room and happened to meet Qin Ming who was coming downstairs. He stopped Qin Ming and said, "Congratulations on closing the case! Old Qin, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Qin Ming stared at Lin Tao expressionlessly for a long time, and colleagues around him cast curious glances. Lin Tao was the first in this Longpan police force to invite Section Chief Qin to dinner, and a group of people stretched their necks Waiting for Section Chief Qin to reply in a tricky way, but didn't expect Section Chief Qin to say flatly: "I will decide the place."

"okay!"

The place was decided by Qin Ming, and it was a restaurant that Qin Ming often went to on weekdays. The proprietress seemed to know Qin Ming and came over to deliver the order in person.

Qin Ming ordered vegetable salad, and Lin Tao also ordered steak and a side of pasta.

Lin Tao asked Qin Ming: "I heard that Section Chief Qin is very difficult to make appointments, why is he so flattering today!"

Qin Ming cut the steak and said, "Don't eat and sleep without talking, don't you understand?"

"Come on, eating without talking is choking after eating too much, sleeping without talking... Who talks while sleeping, it's a dream!" Lin Tao laughed, and looked out the window, only to find that the originally good day would be It turned out to be cloudy, but he didn't bring an umbrella.

Lin Tao turned his head to look at Qin Ming, and found that Qin Ming's hands were moving much faster. He thought that Qin Ming came in his car, so he didn't bring an umbrella. Maybe he wanted to go home before it rained.

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and several little girls screamed in the corner of the restaurant. Lin Tao noticed that Qin Ming's hand holding the knife trembled.

"Old Qin, are you afraid of thunder?"

"No."

"Your hands are shaking."

"I'm allergic to rain."

"Huh?" Lin Tao heard for the first time that someone was allergic to rainy days, and he felt that he had heard a great anecdote.

Qin Ming stopped talking and focused on eating. Lin Tao looked at the darkening sky outside, thinking that no matter how fast he ate, he might not be able to go home before the rain. Lin Tao put down the knife and fork and said, "I'll go out first. .”

Lin Tao remembered that there was a Watsons near the corner when he first came in.It was meal time, and there were not many people in the store. Lin Tao walked over and asked the cashier, "Which counter is the umbrella at?"

The cashier who was lowering his head to check out said, "It's facing the shelf at the cashier counter, and it's on the back. Hey, Lin Tao? Is it Lin Tao?"

Lin Tao had already turned around to look for an umbrella. When he heard the cashier girl calling his name, he turned around and looked at the girl in doubt for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Guo Motong?"

This girl named Guo Motong is the younger sister of Lin Tao's middle school friend Guo Moyan. She is five or six years younger than Lin Tao.

"If I remember correctly, you should be in college?"

"Yeah, I come here to work part-time at night. Brother Tao, where have you been for the past few years? My brother said that since you went to the police academy, I can't contact you."

"I...I have been abroad for the past few years." Lin Tao said perfunctorily, this is not a lie, he has indeed been abroad for the past few years.

There were a few more thunderstorms outside, and the water vapor in the air was getting heavier and heavier. Lin Tao quickly went to the back of the shelf and took a big black umbrella, and said, "I have something urgent to do today, see you when I have a chance."

After Lin Tao paid the money, he hurried out of the store. There were already sporadic raindrops falling, and one of them just landed on Lin Tao's nose. Lin Tao wiped it with the back of his hand, and walked quickly back to the restaurant.

Qin Ming was almost finished eating, so Lin Tao leaned his umbrella to the table and said, "The rain has already started, don't rush, it won't catch up. I bought an umbrella, and I will take you home later."

Qin Ming kept moving his hands and said, "Okay."

After the meal was finished and the rain was not too heavy, Lin Tao drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant and let Qin Ming get in the car.Qin Ming's home is not too far from this restaurant, but when Lin Tao drove the car to the gate of Qin Ming's house, it was already raining heavily. Qin Ming looked out the window and seemed not to want to get out of the car very much.

Lin Tao tentatively asked: "Old Qin, are you so afraid of rainy days?"

"I'm just allergic to rainy days!"

"Okay, just wait in the car until the rain subsides before going in." Lin Tao has plenty of time, so it doesn't hurt to wait.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and the rain stopped in less than 10 minutes. There were still some sporadic raindrops falling. Qin Ming got out of the car, opened his umbrella and walked to the porch. He turned around and said to Lin Tao: "Thank you .”

Lin Tao drove home when he saw Qin Ming entered the house.He felt that he had to have a good discussion with Lao Chu tomorrow. Lao Qin was obviously easy to get along with, but how could he become an unreasonable big ice cube in Lao Chu's mouth.

Qin Ming entered the house, inserted the black umbrella into the special umbrella tube at the door, changed his shoes and entered the house without changing his clothes, and sat down directly at the workbench to start writing the closing report.

After writing the closing report, Qin Ming changed out of his suit, put on home clothes, packed up his things, went to the bathroom and took a simple shower.

There are three workbenches in Qin Ming’s home. The biggest one is used for cutting fabrics and making clothes. The one under the bookshelf is used for storing computers and writing. The one near the door is the least frequently used one. The working table is specially customized by Qin Ming. The desktop has two layers. The upper layer can be opened, and it becomes a whiteboard for writing and drawing after opening. The lower layer of the desktop becomes a special working platform. Qin Ming usually Here is some work that needs to be recorded while studying.

After drying his hair, Qin Ming walked to the workbench and opened the upper table. The whiteboard inside was wiped clean. The lower table was covered with a PVC table mat, and a long photo was pressed underneath. , The photo reads: Long Panyi High School XX Graduation Commemoration.This is Qin Ming's school graduation photo when he was in high school. Not every school will take this kind of school graduation photo, and not everyone will send it out. After the photo is taken, the head teacher will count the number of people who want this school graduation photo, and finally print it out according to the number of people. .Qin Ming asked for one at that time.

In fact, in middle school, there were very few boys who asked for this kind of school graduation photo, because most of the students in middle school were only in contact with their classmates, so except for those who made a lot of friends, most of them were little girls with crushes. I will ask for such a photo, you know, this may be the only time I took a photo with my crush in the whole middle school.

Qin Ming stretched out his hand and touched the photo through a layer of table mats. Everyone he knew could recognize that the person beside Qin Ming was Lin Tao, Lin Tao from middle school.

Lin Tao felt that Qin Ming was an easy-going person, but he didn't know his real name that Qin Ming had known him since he was in middle school, and he didn't know that he and Qin Ming were actually students who graduated from the same middle school.There was no way to do this. After all, Lin Tao was the man of the school in middle school. He was handsome and helpful. At that time, the little girls in the school always liked to see Lin Tao sweating profusely on the court.But Qin Ming is different. In middle school, Qin Ming was a person with little sense of existence. He attended school every day and took classes seriously. teacher.It can be said that Lin Tao and Qin Ming in middle school did not have any chance to meet each other.

Qin Ming closed the table, made a cup of coffee for himself, his untrimmed hair and bangs slanted down, lacking the usual meticulous idol temperament, he looked a bit like a 26-year-old young man.

Qin Ming looked around the house. He didn't like rainy days, and he didn't like the humidity caused by rain.The cup of coffee was quickly finished, and instead of rinsing the coffee cup as usual, he flushed the second cup right after.

There was also an open notebook on the table, with Qin Ming's beautiful handwriting on it:

Humans are more willing to retaliate for harm than to reciprocate kindness.Because gratitude is like a heavy burden, and revenge is full of pleasure.
