Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

what startedAnd it started "again".

Wei Lan just wanted to ask, but the other party didn't give him a chance to speak, so he hung up the phone in a hurry, and when he called again, the shutdown prompt sounded.

It doesn't matter, don't worry about this moment, we will meet sooner or later, you must come to identify the corpse, right?The corpse had already been sent to the Western District Headquarters, and once he got there, he would not be able to get away easily.

The deceased's car was stuffed with a lot of sundries, most of which were not very useful documents, including car club qualification certificates, entry and exit permits for some high-end places, and a thick stack of business cards of people from all walks of life.

Wei Lan flipped through the fancy-designed business cards one by one, a sudden breeze penetrated the open car door, brushed Wei Lan's drooping hair, and blew a business card that fell on the seat .

Wei Lan picked up the rare and elegant business card and glanced at it casually, mixed it into the stack of business cards indifferently, thought about it and thought it was wrong, took it out again and checked it again.

This business card was dropped on the right side of the seat, and it was not kept together with other business cards. Why was it taken out separately?

From the location where it fell, Wei Lan guessed that when the deceased took something out of his pocket, he took it out and dropped it on the seat, which should have been used not long ago.

"The deceased was a supplier of CK Pharmaceuticals. I checked the call records of his mobile phone. One call in the afternoon was to the person on the business card." Yin Hang saw Wei Lan staring at the business card of the person in charge of the purchasing department of CK Pharmaceuticals in a daze. Tell Wei Lan the information he got.

It is foreseeable that this case can only be concluded as an accident, but everyone present knows that this is not an ordinary accident, and it is full of weirdness.

At this moment, Wei Lan was tightly holding the business card of CK Pharmaceuticals, feeling unspeakably congested and out of breath. A thought kept crashing into his brain, as if some invisible force deliberately made him see this business card, that What does the unknown force want to tell me?

Yin Hang wiped the sweat from his head and face, and packed the survey tools into the box, "Brother Wei, let's go, it's too hot here."

"Is it very hot?" Wei Lan was a little puzzled, "I think it's okay. It was really hot before, but now it seems to be okay." The cool air brushed against the wheat-colored skin, causing a layer of goose bumps from time to time. I feel hot, but a little cold, but this feeling is much more comfortable than sticky sweat, "Sister Chen, don't go back to the game with us, Chen Xi is not in good condition, you take him home have a rest."

Chen Yanhua nodded distraughtly, and no longer refused, and obediently left the scene with Chen Xi, who was in a trance.I wanted to bring my lonely little brother back to her house for a lively weekend, but I didn't know that such a horrible thing happened to my little brother with good intentions, and I couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was.

Wei Lan patted Chen Xi's back reassuringly, seeing the child's pale face, he must have been terrified, "Just let your sister take you to a big meal, don't think about it."

He didn't respond to his thoughtful words, but at the moment when he passed by, Wei Lan clearly saw Chen Xi looking at him with some hesitation, shaking his pale lips, repeating the words, fluttering and flickering. Crash into the ear - there is a ghost!

ghost?

Did Chen Xi see something?Seeing the pale boy's pale face, Wei Lan really couldn't bear to ask these frightening topics again, so he raised his hand or let it go. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods. This fact is weird at night, and he won't take the boy's words to heart.

The results of the forensic medical examination did not reveal any surprises. The accident resulted in serious injuries and death. The lumbar spine was broken, and the right leg was crushed causing a comminuted fracture.

Surprisingly, the wife of the deceased did not show up until the cremation of the deceased's body. The little calculation Wei Lan had made in his heart was in vain, and the woman still could not be contacted no matter what.

The wailing of the old couple echoed in the morgue. Wei Lan stood straight behind without saying a word. He was really good at dealing with such scenes. Some couldn't bear to see the old parents of the deceased busy with such great grief. , but there is no room for him to intervene in this kind of matter.

Think of it as turning depression into strength, and continuous overtime work has become a good mental anesthetic.Wei Lan was bored in the evidence room, playing the video of the accident in the underground parking lot over and over again day and night.

Just like what Chen Yanhua said, the victim drove the car into his parking space normally, got out of the car and locked it skillfully, then turned around and walked towards the elevator. When he turned around and just took a step, the car didn't start at all. In this state, he suddenly moved, and then suddenly accelerated and slammed into the victim. Everything happened so suddenly that people had no time to react and escape, and were killed by the god of death unsuspecting.

Suddenly, Wei Lan couldn't help sitting upright with a flashing picture, and his expression became serious unconsciously. He paused the video and manually pressed the keyboard to play it frame by frame.I don't know if it's because of excitement or nervousness, or both, Wei Lan felt her heart ache, her palms were wet with sweat, and her breathing became heavy.

He clearly saw that there was a figure in the driver's cab of the backing car!Yes, it's just a human figure, with no limbs visible, and it looks like a gray-white shadow of a human form.

This shadow only appeared in the four frames of the screen, and in the case of continuous playback, it was completely undetectable in a flash.Chen Xi's murmur was recalled again, it seemed that it wasn't a problem with his own eyes, nor was Chen Xi hallucinating, it was indeed a ghost!

But when he was convinced of the fact of seeing a ghost, Wei Lan felt even more depressed. The case was closed. Even if he wanted to overturn the case, he couldn't tell his superiors that it was done by a ghost. He was arrested and locked up in a mental hospital.

A deep sense of powerlessness swept over Wei Lan, and his original unwavering world view was easily subverted. This feeling was really uncomfortable. He couldn't even get over this hurdle himself, so what confidence would he have to convince others?

Rubbing her dry eyes, it was past two o'clock in the night, thinking about going to work early in the morning, Wei Lan gave up going home in the middle of the night, and simply lay down on the broken sofa in the lounge.Maybe he was too tired, so he fell asleep without turning off the bright fluorescent lamp, and after a while, the sound of even breathing sounded in the small room.

The person sleeping soundly on the sofa didn't know that the light tube flickered a few times and then went out. The cool night wind opened the curtains, hovered in the narrow room, and brushed away the few strands that covered Wei Lan's eyebrows and eyes. The hair reveals the full forehead, and the heroic facial features full of sunshine.

Wei Lan seemed to be disturbed, turned over uncomfortably, and frowned, but was touched by a coolness, the brows relaxed, and fell into a deep sleep again.The breeze mixed with a sigh, turned around the room a few times and finally dispersed, the sky was already dawn.

When Yin Hang walked into the office with a few sets of mung bean pancakes, he saw the door of the lounge was open, facing Wei Lan who was sleeping sprawled on the sofa and had no image at all. Can't this person pay attention to his image? That handsome face.

Reluctantly closing the door of the lounge, he turned to look at Lu Wei who was sitting at the desk, eating pancakes and flipping through the photos of the bloody corpses. He thought it was pleasing to the eye.

"Xiaowei, have everything settled down at home? If not, please take a few more days off. Brother Wei is here to support you, so you don't have to hurry." Yin Hang pushed the soy milk with the straw inserted in front of Lu Wei.

"It's been arranged. My parents are not very used to life in big cities, so it's better to go back early." That's what he said, but Lu Wei still had a bit of disappointment on his face.

"Where is your home? It's not easy to come here."

Swallowing a mouthful of pancakes, Lu Wei frowned and thought carefully for a long time, "To be honest, I don't know what the name of that place is except for the name Lujiazhai. It's next to Nanyan City, but I haven't heard where it belongs to. Never mind, it's weird."

"No one would say that their hometown is weird."

"It's just weird. It's said to be haunted often. I was in poor health since I was a child. My parents were afraid that I would run into evil, so they took me out early to make a living. I don't have much impression of my hometown, but they still want to go back." The family has lived in the north for more than [-] years, but Lu Wei is more used to the current life. Seeing him settle down, being a parent is also relieved. These days, he dragged Lu Wei around the city to play. Son, after all, set off to go back to my hometown.

Originally, it was only a small talk about Lu Wei's hometown in a remote mountainous area, but it was interrupted by Lu Wei's understatement of being haunted. The weird case a few days ago not only troubled Wei Lan, but also troubled Yin Hang. Are there really ghosts in the world?

Thinking this way, he unconsciously asked this question. After seeing Lu Wei's surprised gaze, Yin Hang smiled awkwardly. He just wanted to say that he was just joking, but was shocked by Lu Wei's answer.

"Ghosts do exist." Lu Wei stopped talking and continued to make pancakes.

Yin Hang stopped talking, unconsciously sucking the soy milk in the cup.The room fell into an awkward silence for a while, but fortunately the silence lasted not long, Wei Lan in the lounge opened the door and walked out in a little embarrassment after making an earth-shattering noise.

"What time is it? Did I get up late?" Wei Lan held the mouthwash cup and kept rubbing her sore buttocks. She slept on the sofa uncomfortably. After getting up, she was sore and stiff. One of them sat on the ground without standing still. , the burning pain in the buttocks caused tears to faintly flash from the corners of his eyes.

"It's not too late, enough for you to have a safe breakfast before going to work."

"Last night..." Wei Lan hesitated, but it was only for a moment, and finally told the few people present what he had discovered.

Chen Yanhua remained silent, apparently still immersed in fear and hadn't recovered. The eyes of Yin Hang and Lu Wei had fully expressed their inner thoughts. They believed what Wei Lan said was true. Only Liu An on one side Let out a disdainful cold snort.

Liu An's hostility was so obvious that it was difficult to ignore it, and Wei Lan didn't expect Liu An to react in any way. They were classmates in college, and although their relationship wasn't good, it was passable.Liu An joined the Criminal Investigation Team [-] earlier than Wei Lan, and after Wei Lan also came in, the relationship between the two was still lukewarm, so there was nothing wrong with it.This hostility started after he woke up from a coma. What did he do that made Liu An so disgusted?

Wei Lan is a person who doesn't bother to delve into anything other than the case, but every day because of various tasks, he has to go in and out at the same time, so it's not a problem to be awkward, so he also tried to talk to Liu An.

It's a pity that the entire police station seemed to have been discussed. No one was willing to tell him what happened. Even Yin Hang and Lu Wei kept silent, as if they had been banned, and they replied when they were in a hurry. "You better stop asking."

If you don't ask, don't ask. If you can't ask, you can't find it?Wei Lan was full of confidence at first, but under the cruel reality of being clueless for a month, he finally bowed his head and gave in. He didn't know that there was always a reason why he didn't know, but the time hadn't come, he comforted himself like this.

Right now, Liu An's hostility has sublimated to the point where he doesn't shy away from it, and Wei Lan doesn't mind it. He treats him as a piece of air, grabs the pancakes after washing up, and picks up the newspaper that was put aside to read while eating. The red headlines reported that someone committed suicide by jumping off a building in a certain community, "Why is this person so obsessed with it? Life is always going on. When her husband died, she committed suicide by jumping off a building, and she didn't even think about what to do with her parents and children."

Scanning at ten lines at a glance, I read the content of the report that has been embellished and exaggerated. There are praises for the relationship between a husband and wife who are stronger than gold, and there are criticisms for selfish behavior regardless of the grief of the living. The narrative method is quite satisfactory and not interesting.

Just when he was about to give up and continue reading this long essay, a few familiar words jumped into his sight, and Wei Lan stared blankly at the words printed in black ink, so surprised that he forgot to swallow the pancake in his mouth .

Harmony Community!The woman who committed suicide jumped from Building No. [-] of the Hehe Community!Building No. [-] was like a nightmare that had plagued Wei Lan for several days. He re-read the article excitedly, searched for useful clues, and finally came to a conclusion.

The woman who committed suicide was actually the guy who ignored the death of her husband!
