Replace the evil way

"Have you tidied up the crime scene?"

"En." He Wei nodded, he worked carefully and carefully from the beginning to the end, and he must have left the mansion only to ensure everything was safe.Cheng Zhenqing took out a gun from his pocket and put it on the table: "This is for you, keep it away."

There was a 92/Type on the table, He Wei picked it up and looked at it for a while, then asked, "Is this the one in the basement?"

"That's right, I'll pick it up. You guys are going to raid your house tomorrow. What will you do with the extra guns?"

He Wei clenched the gun tightly, and looked at Cheng Zhenqing even colder: "Cheng Zesheng's death has nothing to do with you? You have the murder weapon."

"...I killed it here?"

"Then how do you explain this gun? Its trajectory is the same as that pile of bullets in the basement and the bullets taken from Cheng Zesheng's chest."

"I couldn't explain it clearly the previous few times, and I couldn't explain it this time." Cheng Zhenqing spread out his hands, as if he was used to it, and said in a casual tone, "Think whatever you like, tidy up, and there are still things to do."

He Wei asked him what he was doing, and he said he had to go to the pianist's place.As he spoke, he took out a necklace from his pocket and shook it in front of He Wei: "This one, I forgot to put it away."

He Wei looked down at the gun, put it in his pocket, and together with Cheng Zhenqing, took advantage of the night to head to the luxurious villa where the pianist lived.The room was pitch black. Because of Cheng Zesheng's death, the servants were called in for questioning, and his mother was still in the police station. No one would come here for the time being. Chongzhen would come to collect evidence until tomorrow morning.

Cheng Zhenqing had all the access keys in Cheng Zesheng's house, and he remembered all the passwords. His words were true, and the statement made at the time was indeed a scapegoat for He Wei.The two went in in the dark, and Cheng Zhen found the sofa by familiar ways, and stuffed the necklace into the gap.He Wei went upstairs to Cheng Zesheng's bedroom, and took down the notebook used for writing songs while wearing gloves.

He turned on the flashlight and turned to the latest page, and he really saw the unfinished numbered notation.Cheng Zhenqing leaned over and asked, "Have you deciphered this line of numbered notation?"

He Wei shook his head and glanced at it: "If you know it, tell me."

Cheng Zhenqing didn't say anything, but patted He Wei on the shoulder: "You told me this, don't worry, you will guess it soon."

"..." He Wei casually picked a leaf from the vase on the table, put it on the page of the musical notation, and put it in the drawer.

After leaving the villa, Cheng Zhenqing said again: "And your house, if I remember correctly, you are going to move in the next two days, right? Hurry up and pack your things."

"I remember, you don't need to remind me."

"..." Cheng Zhenqing was speechless, "The attitude is really cold. If it weren't for the fact that you are my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have made such an effort."

He Wei was grabbed by the collar suddenly, and He Wei looked at him coldly: "I haven't figured out whether Cheng Zesheng's death has nothing to do with you. If you weren't his brother, I wouldn't be able to stand with you so peacefully."

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, I'll wait until your temper subsides." Cheng Zhenqing didn't care about him, and he was used to the same words.He Wei usually has a cold temper, and nothing can make him angry, but in the case of Cheng Zesheng, his mood swings were obvious. If Cheng Zhenqing could describe it, it would be that he took Cheng Zesheng too seriously.

At midnight, when He Wei returned to Lian Jingyuan's house, he deliberately opened the door lightly, and his movements were very light. Stephen jumped down from the bay window, stood at the entrance and called out to him.

"Hush," He Wei put his index finger on his lips, "It's too late now, don't wake your father up."

It's a pity that it was too late to say this sentence, Lian Jingyuan's room door opened, he came out wearing a coat, and smiled gently at He Wei: "I'm back."

"Well," He Wei came in after changing his shoes, seeing that he didn't seem to wake up from a dream, "you haven't slept so late?"

"I'm reading." Lian Jingyuan didn't say the whole thing, reading was just to pass the time, in fact, he was more worried about He Wei's safety.

They have been friends for many years, He Wei knew what Lian Jingyuan was thinking, and smiled: "It's okay, I know my current identity, and I will be very careful."

Lian Jingyuan nodded, with He Wei's temperament, there was really no need to worry too much.When the man came back, he could sleep peacefully, He Wei called him back: "Can you lend me the computer?"

Lian Jingyuan pointed at the study room, let him do what he wants.

He Wei went to the study to turn on the computer, then went back to the room and took Cheng Zesheng's cell phone, sat down and looked at the screen, asking for the password.He wanted to ask Lian Jingyuan, but the lights in Lian Jingyuan's room had already been turned off, and He Wei was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he sat back and stared at the keyboard.

On the numeric keypad, the keycaps of the four numbers "4", "2", "1" and "0" have a smooth and reflective surface, indicating that these four numbers are commonly used keys.Four numbers are set as the power-on password, and birthdays are usually the first choice. He Wei quickly arranged several combinations in his mind. When the combination "0124" appeared, he was stunned and subconsciously typed it.

User login unlocked.

He Wei stared at the number keyboard, feeling a little confused for a while. January 1th is his birthday, and Lian Jingyuan actually used his birthday as the power-on password?

The reason why there is no suspicion that it has something to do with He Lu is because He Lu's birthday is on the 25th.Back then, He Wei was born around 11 o'clock at night, and He Lu was not born until [-] o'clock the next morning, so he was called "Lu". He was obviously a twin brother, but the birthdays filled in the birth certificate were one day apart.

After thinking about it for half a minute, He Wei put the matter aside in advance. Given the relationship between him and Lian Jingyuan, it would be better to ask directly if he made random guesses.He connected Cheng Zesheng's mobile phone to the data cable, found a USB flash drive from the computer desk, and copied the piano piece stored in the mobile phone.

After connecting to the phone, the photo album also popped up. The front was full of photos of the scene, similar to his phone. After opening, there were bloody corpses or various evidences.Flipping to the back, the photos in recent days have begun to change, most of them are people, and the protagonist is still the same person——He Wei.

There is a back view of lying on the railing and lighting a cigarette, there is a posture of lying on the sofa bed and sleeping soundly, and there are various and changeable expressions. Looking at them one by one, He Wei himself didn't know that he could be so beautiful in other people's cameras. Fresh, both familiar and strange.

The last one shows him sleeping on his side, with a bony hand pressed against his cheek.

He Wei suppressed the suffocation in his heart, copied the piano music into the USB flash drive, turned off the computer, and stared at the black screen in a daze.

He took a notebook casually in the study, and imitated Cheng Zesheng's handwriting, and wrote down the string of simplified notation.It's a pity that I don't quite like Cheng Zesheng's handwriting. He writes "5" habitually with continuous strokes. If you don't look carefully, it looks like an "8".

He Wei stared at the numbered musical notation, recalling the reminder given by Cheng Zhenqing. "A lot of things are not as complicated as they think." Does it mean that the deciphering of this numbered notation is actually very simple, and there is no need to apply the types of ciphers they are familiar with?

He tore off the written numbered notation, turned to another page, and tried to change his thinking with a pen in his hand.Morse code is the first choice for this kind of music notation because of its dot-and-dash feature, but the deciphering method without symbols and directly using digital codes, compared with the alphabet, the result will be very strange, it is a string of letters that cannot be spelled at all.

He Wei took a pen to write and draw on the paper, connecting sound lines, short horizontal lines...Suddenly, he remembered the safe code provided by Cheng Zhenqing. After writing out the numbers and comparing them to the alphabet, what I got was still messy letters that could not be spelled in pinyin or English.

What if... one of the syllables or dashes does not add together, but connects the numbers together?

He Wei tried not to add the sound lines, but quickly ruled out this group of numbers, because there are too many alphabets with 65 exceeding 26, and general digital passwords will not choose such numbers that need to be divided by more than twice.

What if the dashes don't add up?

8, 5, 23, 5, 12, 11, 21.

H, E, W, E, L, K, U.

"Crack", the pen in He Wei's hand fell on the table, making a crisp sound.

He closed his eyes, pushed back the soreness that filled his eye sockets, picked up the numbered musical notation, his fingertips trembling slightly, at this moment, he finally deciphered the meaning in it.

He Wei clenched the paper tightly and bit his lower lip deeply.

It's not too late, I still have a chance to save you.

Before dawn, He Wei, wearing a hat and mask, returned to Future Domain 404, spent two hours cleaning up the traces of life during this period, and put all the daily necessities into a big bag, took them away and destroyed them.

He stood on the stool, plugged the USB flash drive into the back of the quartz clock, and then used the mobile phone software to set the time-telling music for 12 o'clock.Leaving 404, the morning light just appeared on the horizon, He Wei took off his mask and breathed in the fresh morning air.He still has to go to the city bureau today, and he has to go home before that, time is running out.

The old housekeeper didn't expect that the young master would come back today when he was free, so He Wei asked him to do his work and leave him alone, he just came back to get some clothes.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, this place still maintains the appearance in memory, it has not changed since childhood.Even though He Wei didn't live at home, Ye Lanlan also kept his room for his son to stay overnight when he came back. Unfortunately, this simple idea became a luxury after He Wei was transferred to the city bureau. Because of his busy work, he didn't even go home for dinner. There is no time, let alone staying at home for a while.

He Wei opened the door of the closet and specially took two old uniforms. This is the main purpose of his return. He will take a risky trip to the city bureau later, so he can't wear them.By the way, he packed a few shirts and trousers he had worn before, and he also brought two pairs of sneakers, and the small bag was already full when he closed the door.

"Why are you free today?"

When He Wei turned his head, Ye Lanlan was standing at the door, smiling softly and gracefully.

"It's nothing, just bring some clothes." He Wei stood up with his bag in hand, "Mom, why didn't you go to the company?"

"I've been a little unwell these past two days. I've been working at home." Ye Lanlan walked up to He Wei, saw that he was all black like a loach, and complained, "Look, you like to wear these black and white ones, and you're not very young. , making him old-fashioned."

He Wei smiled, gave her a hug with one hand, and patted her back: "You don't know me yet, you've been used to it for so many years."

"You were not like this when you were young. You loved to cry and wore beautifully colored clothes. Later, you stopped crying and dressed like a piano keyboard."

He Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told his mother that there was still something to do in the bureau, and he would come back to eat with her next time.

Ye Lanlan took his arm to accompany him downstairs, and acted like a baby to her son: "You should come back more often. If you don't come back, mother will be lonely at home. Recently, Ah Lu is abroad again. You are so busy with work. When I am old, I will be sick." No one came to visit..."

He Wei stopped in his tracks: "He Lu is abroad?"

"Yeah, I called yesterday and told me that I wouldn't come back within ten days and half a month, and made me drink more hot water when I was sick. It's really heartless."

He Wei fell into deep thought, Ye Lanlan saw that he didn't talk to him, so she asked softly, "Ah Wei, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." The corners of He Wei's lips curled up, and he bid farewell to Ye Lanlan. He must go home more often when he has free time.

Around ten o'clock, He Wei hurried to the Municipal Bureau, entered through the gate of the parking lot, just saw the jeep that had been running around with him all the year round, and when he looked up, he walked briskly down the steps, wearing a blue uniform shirt and a black coat hanging on his back. On the arm, coming here.

He Wei hurriedly hid behind the jeep, and after he got into the car, he quickly jumped to the back of another car.The flashing figure caused He Wei in the car to look up, and found the bird parked on the opposite railing, smiled and drove away.

He Wei breathed a sigh of relief, watched the jeep leave, took off his mask and put it in his pocket, took off his coat and held it in his hand, and walked into the city bureau with an expression as relaxed as possible.

The colleague holding the document saw He Wei and felt strange: "Hey? Team He, didn't you just leave? Why are you back?"

"Come back and get things." He opened the door and walked into the office, calling Ke Bo directly, "The captured Li Chenggui, has the confession been recorded?"

"The recording is over, and the explanation is quite neat."

"Show me the transcript."

Ke Bo found the transcript and handed it to He Wei. He Wei flipped through it. What Li Chenggui explained was his own crime process, and he and Cheng Zesheng were not mentioned from the beginning to the end.

Could it be that his committing the crime was not affected by himself, and he was not in this cycle?

He Wei thought for a while, and asked Li Chenggui to be brought up. He still had a few questions to ask.

Ke Bo was at a loss. Although he didn't understand what was going to be tried in this case, he still picked up his notebook and prepared to follow him to make records.In the end, He Wei said that there was no need for it. It was not a formal interrogation, but he was asked a few questions, and he could go alone.

Li Chenggui was wearing the "yellow mandarin jacket" bestowed by the government, with his hands handcuffed together, in a room alone with He Wei, and said with a smile, "Officer He, what do you want from me?"

He Wei lowered his voice and asked, "You should know what I want to ask, what is the modus operandi?"

Li Chenggui kept smiling all the time: "I thanked Police Officer He the day I was arrested, you may not have paid attention."

He Wei's heart sank, as expected, this is a part of the cycle, there is no accident.With a solemn expression, he asked, "Why didn't you say anything during the interrogation?"

"There's no reason, I just think it's my own business, I've got my revenge, there's no need to drag others down." Li Chenggui shrugged, "I just feel unlucky, I didn't hear everything, I thought it was just two guests chatting casually To solve the case and decipher it, I didn’t expect that it was the case that Police Officer He had handled.”

"..." He Wei coughed lightly, "Let's reform it."

After coming out of the city bureau, He Wei's thoughts became clearer.He recalled what had happened before, and suddenly realized that he had more and more things to do.
