to comfort the sun

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the reporter's transcript was finally finished.

Looking at the clock face again, the time is approaching the time for the rooster to crow, but it is late in winter, so it is still dark outside for the time being.

Now it was clearly the first day of the new year, but the atmosphere in the bureau was still quiet.

After Sun Fuzhou sent the little gangster out of the police station, he stood in the yard, staring at the crescent moon that was already thin and thin, and let out a deep breath.

Looking back at the City Bureau building, everyone is moaning from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside—it was a good Chinese New Year, but now it is too busy to touch the ground because of a box of body parts.

Not long ago, many people were happy at home watching the Spring Festival Gala watching the New Year's Eve, eating supper and soaking their feet, but the next second they were urged by a phone call to come to the bureau to do various technical appraisals.

For example, members of the technical team who complained that they were forced to recycle all kinds of "broken copper and iron" every day, because they rushed out a bunch of reports overnight, so that passers-by who rushed to the morning market on the first day of the new year thought they had encountered zombies when they saw them. .

Before he had time to realize that he hadn't slept all night, the sky had already turned white, and the clouds slowly opened. Sun Fuzhou squatted at the door, smoked the last refreshing cigarette, rubbed his stubbled chin, His eyes swept across the east of the sunrise, and finally left behind a pile of cigarette butts, and left wrapped in air-conditioning.

People around me come and go without stopping.

As soon as he sat down in front of the video surveillance that he hadn't finished watching, Liu Chenglin came back, followed by a group of people, all dragging their feet.

As soon as they stepped into the gate, they spread out and started to do their own things, while Liu Chenglin walked into the office with a sad expression.

Thinking about it, he was also annoyed by the case.

Sun Fuzhou stretched his neck in vain and comforted him: "The investigation teams have already contacted the buyer of the suitcase. Maybe we are lucky and just like this, we can find out the murderer..."

"It's not in a hurry." Liu Chenglin rubbed the center of his brows and sat down next to him, his black eyes stretched out, "Ju Wu heard about this in the morning and has already returned by the first bus."

Sun Fuzhou was almost biting his tongue, but God raised it all at once: "What? So fast?"

Liu Chenglin stood up again before the stool was warmed up: "He has already called me and said that next week, there will be an investigation by the leaders of the provincial department. We are very tight on time."

It's not just tight, it's directly tied with a rope around the neck, and it's getting tighter and tighter no matter whether it moves or doesn't move.

But now, no matter how anxious they are, they can only wait for the test results of various departments, the endless investigation and visits by the criminal police, and the appearance of the remaining body parts.

On the other side, the city that has been silent overnight is recovering from the warm morning sun.

It was rare for Shen Yuan to get up early in the morning, and he was dressed in plain black again, leading a black back that reached his thighs, walked through this garden that was said to be like spring all the year round when the real estate was opened, and walked out of the community at a leisurely pace.

One person and one dog, fierce and vicious, passers-by have to avoid it.

Go out from the gate of the community and turn left, there are breakfast shops along the way, Shen Yuan tied the dog leash to the doorknob of one of the noodle shops, opened half of the plastic curtain by himself, stood still in front of the simple counter, thinking about his breakfast menu .

The owner of this noodle shop is a fat man, also nicknamed Fatty - even his surname is Fatty Ma, and he doesn't know if he raised his body fat by himself. He looks simple and honest, but his mung bean-sized eyes are always full of shrewdness.

Following the stinky face of the master, Fa Cai also has an unfriendly appearance. Fatty Ma didn't care if the dog squatting at the door would affect the business, but turned around and fished out a piece of meat from the bone broth, rinsed it under the faucet, and threw it Go to the door and call it affectionately: "Fat Cai, come and have breakfast."

Fa Cai, who had been sitting like a bell for a second, smelled the smell of meat, and immediately stood up without a future, lowered his head, sniffed the piece of meat, licked it twice, ate it dry and wiped it clean.

Fatty Ma smiled with his chubby cheeks, and turned to look at Shen Yuan: "Father, what do you want to eat?"

Shen Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any new tricks, so he continued as usual: "Su noodles, don't make it spicy, I got angry today,"

Fatty Ma flicked the spoon in his hand, but his movements were clean and neat: "Look at your skinny two taels, and you are growing your body. Why are you being polite to me?"

Plain noodles are easy to make and don't take time. They can be served in a few minutes after boiling in the soup. At this time, there were no customers in the shop, so Fatty Ma put the noodles on his table, and sat down opposite him.

Shen Yuan stirred the "plain noodles" covered with a layer of meat, the corners of his mouth curled up, quite amiable.

Fatty Ma opened two bottles of warm soy milk, pushed one bottle to Shen Yuan, and sucked the other bottle by himself: "You said that you are also a boss now, so hire a nanny to cook and eat something good , don’t keep drilling into this broken shop of mine.”

Shen Yuan picked up a piece of noodles and put it in his mouth: "Do you know why I like to eat here?"

Fatty Ma said: "We have an iron relationship."

Shen Yuan shook his head: "No, come here, only my dog ​​can eat."

Fatty Ma turned his head away: "Go, go, you are a big boss, can't afford a dog?"

Shen Yuan said solemnly: "I'm afraid that no one will take care of me when I get old, so I should save more pension now, so I can save as much as I can."

Their gossip is mostly nonsense.

When Fatty Ma rented the store, he didn’t have the money to make a signboard, so he kept the name of his previous shop “Qiaomeier BBQ” on the front door. Although he later made a simple signboard and hung it up, it had little effect.

There are hardly any customers during the day.

In order to appear more lively, the small TV on the wall will be turned on regardless of whether anyone is watching it. It usually broadcasts news from the local station in Xicheng, but now is the time to broadcast the morning news.

The hostess on the small TV has buck teeth and is not very photogenic, but her voice is unexpectedly crisp and clear: "Hello, viewers, my station received news at 1.7:[-] this morning that a demolition area on Sanqi Xiaolu found a A box of unidentified mutilated corpses. This is the picture taken by our reporter at the scene of the crime. According to the police, the deceased was a young male, about [-] meters tall and thin. If there are any suspected missing people or witnesses, please contact us. Contact the police immediately..."

Fatty Ma turned his body sideways, and when he saw the scene of the crime, he clicked his tongue twice, as if feeling emotional: "It's a New Year's Eve, it's really unlucky to do such a troublesome thing."

Shen Yuan was also staring at the picture on the TV. Sanqi Xiaolu was just behind the black beer club, so it could be said that it was not too far away. He was very familiar with the demolition area. The project that Mrs. Chen just took over was to make that area into a shopping mall. The square, connected with the opposite business district, completely opened up the situation of the entire Xishui District.

The video was not long, and the camera was blocked by several police officers before anything was captured.

The first one was a dejected criminal policeman, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, the camera was shoved and shoved, and his face could not be seen clearly.

His weak arms and legs didn't know how to stop these reporters flexibly. He seemed to be lacking energy, but his voice was surprisingly loud: "Don't take pictures, don't take pictures, the serious crime team handles the case, stay away from idlers, etc. Tell you—the ones in the back, don’t squeeze in—you are disturbing the law and order, and the ones over there are too, don’t watch the excitement, just go away.”

He was shouting vigorously when a girl came out next to her. She also didn't take a clear picture of her face, but she could see her protruding front and back, and she had a good figure. She pulled him and walked back: "Vice Sun, Zhao Fayi asked you to go there ..."

When Fatty Ma saw a beautiful girl, he couldn't walk for a while, and turned his whole body around: "The little girl in the Public Security Bureau is still so lively? I thought the girls who were criminal police were all like tigresses." , do you think that policeman with kidney deficiency is her boyfriend?"

Shen Yuan smiled, took the last mouthful of noodles, and wiped his mouth: "I also feel kidney deficiency, so that girl probably doesn't like him—and also doesn't like you."

Fatty Ma put the empty soy milk bottle on the table: "Do you hear what you are talking about?"

"It's famous quotes from famous people." Shen Yuan turned his attention to the small TV again, but the hostess had already reported another news about the unsanitary hygiene of the back kitchen of a certain restaurant, "What's the situation of this corpse dismemberment case? "

Fatty Ma has no interest in the buck-tooth hostess, so he resolutely turned to sit up straight: "I heard about that when I just opened the door in the morning. It was a box of broken corpses. The police haven't found anything yet. There is a lot of trouble in the West Water District. Yes, it is said that it is a perverted fugitive who is wandering around - killing people at random."

Shen Yuan lowered his head slightly: "That place is quite close to my shop, I don't know if it will affect my business."

Fatty Ma thought about it carefully, and smiled wickedly: "It seems to be quite close, be careful that that pervert threw the body in your shop."

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Shen Yuan did not expect that Fatty Ma's random nonsense could be translated into words. If it accidentally spread to the ears of the police, it is not known whether Fatty Ma would suspect the identity of the murderer. .

After finally finishing work, Sun Fuzhou, who hadn't had time to take a good rest, was called to the scene of the crime by another phone call. According to Liu Chenglin, the place where the body was dumped this time was replaced by a green leather trash can, which was far away from the first scene. Only one road away, such a blatant behavior shows the arrogance of this murderer.

The trash can was facing the back door of the dark beer club, and the cordon was drawn around it, and the spectators had already blocked layer after layer.

When Sun Fuzhou arrived, the police had already started to clean up the scene and were about to go home.

He casually pulled a criminal policeman over, and under the other's stare, he showed his police officer's card, and learned about the basic situation of the scene—this time it was still a box of body parts, but the container was replaced with a milky white suitcase. It was half old but not new, and half a piece of broken black eyeshadow was accidentally found in the interlayer of the suitcase.

In addition, the head of the corpse was also found, wrapped in several layers of black plastic bags, and thrown in the trash.

This is the main reason why the litter box should also be fenced.

It’s just that the brother who has worked hard, picked up the garbage all afternoon.

Almost at the same time, the identity of the deceased was verified. It was Huang Xiaoshan, the owner of the ID card that appeared with the previous box of body parts.Sun Fuzhou stretched his neck and took a look. The corpse is not easy to rot in winter, and the bloody face is well preserved.

The eyes that could not rest in peace "stared" at him through the crowd.

Sun Fuzhou went back outside the cordon and watched them come out one after another. Everyone had the sour smell of garbage on their bodies, even he was no exception after coming out.

After they all got into the car, Qiu Yun endured the smell of the car and made a report for them: "This trash bin mainly stores the trash from this club and the hotel next door, and the person who called the police was Long Zai, the back kitchen employee of the dark beer club. He came out to take out the garbage twice today, the first time was at 10:30 am and he didn’t see the suitcase, and the second time was at 01:30 when the suitcase was already here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, several people in the car fell silent. After they received the report in the early morning, the only alley leading to the outside of the corpse dumping site was blocked. The criminal police visited the surrounding area all morning, but there was no Thinking of the murderer running back blatantly and throwing another box of body parts.

Sun Fuzhou was sitting in the co-pilot, half opened the window, the cold wind came in, and his whole face was facing the wind: "Is there no monitoring?"

Liu Chenglin tugged at his clothes: "There is one on the bright side, and it is only facing the back door. It can't be photographed at the side of the trash can at all. There may be hidden ones. We need to communicate with the merchants."

Sun Fuzhou tilted his head: "It's better for the public, I hate dealing with hypocritical merchants the most."

Liu Chenglin handed him the tablet: "Here, just in case, the contact information of the hotel owner and the owner of the club have been checked for you."

The wind was blowing in his ears, pouring from his left ear to his right ear, filling his head thoroughly. Although he only heard the general idea of ​​Liu Chenglin's words, he knew what he meant.

"Shall I go?" Sun Fuzhou took the tablet, with a confused look on his face, and swipe twice: "Rufang Hotel Zhang Cuihua... The Dark Beer Club, the name will be changed from the Dark Beer KTV to the Dark Beer Club in late September... Everyone Shen Yuan?"

When Shen Yuan rushed to his club, he saw a group of employees gathered in the lobby, forgetting all the work they were doing, chattering, chattering, talking to each other, and the center of them was a man who looked like a back kitchen .

A Dong, who was in charge, came head-on, with cold sweat dripping down his back.

"What's going on?" As soon as Shen Yuan arrived at the scene, the group dispersed, leaving only the man who looked like a back cook standing there, with his head down, not daring to look at him, and his hands were shaking his pale apron.

Adong stared vigilantly at Fa Cai at Shen Yuan's feet. He had suffered from this master, so he didn't dare to provoke him easily: "Brother Shen, he took out the trash today and found a broken body in the trash can at the back door. The police just evacuated .”

Shen Yuan bent down slightly, touched the top of Fa Cai's head, and calmed down its restlessness: "What did you ask?"

Being touched comfortably, Fa Cai let out a snort.

A Dong couldn't help taking half a step back, clearing his throat: "I made a record for him and asked some nonsense. It has nothing to do with us in the first place - but a few customers heard about it from nowhere and said yes Afraid of bad luck during the Chinese New Year, he asked us to withdraw from the membership."

"Then let's get back according to the contract." Shen Yuan led Fa Cai to the man in the kitchen, holding the rope vaguely in his hands, the leash was the longest, and Fa Cai paced around the man with his tail wagging. Circle, "Tell me what you saw today, what did the police ask?"

The man didn't dare to act rashly, didn't dare to make a show, for fear of startling Fa Cai who was "eyeing" him, he tore off his turban and put it aside, revealing his topless hairstyle.

He stuttered and said, "Come on, I was taking out the trash this afternoon and saw a suitcase. I thought someone had left it there, so I wanted to take it... I took it back. I have a good nose. When I mentioned the suitcase, I could smell blood. Wei'er, I suddenly remembered yesterday's news and called the police, that's what I told the police..."

"They didn't say anything else?"

"Don't tell me, I didn't even touch the box."

"If you say it, you say it, if you don't say it, you don't say it. What does it mean if you don't say it?"

The man rubbed his apron, hesitated to speak.

Seeing him stop, A Dong beside him was a little anxious: "What did you say?"

The man spoke in dialect anxiously: "It didn't tell me, I just heard them say that the person who died was a man named Huang San. I saw the photo they took, and it seems to be the same person who was in our shop last time."

After Shen Yuan heard this, he softly called Fa Cai, and the majestic dog turned around obediently, walked to his side, tilted its head and rubbed against his leg, as if asking for a reward.

The man didn't lie.

Shen Yuan also probably guessed who the unlucky child who was dismembered was.

Fa Cai sat at his feet, staring at the door for a moment, then barked suddenly, the loud voice startled many people, they all looked over, only Shen Yuan hooked Fa Cai's chin with his lower hand, as if teasing , standing still.

On the road outside, the truck of the running business passed the bumpy road, the body shrugged and then let out a dull roar, hidden in the thick sunlight, it became a thunderbolt on the flat ground.
