today's island

In the name of elevator maintenance, Lu Yuanzhe asked the criminal investigation team for help, and went down the elevator shaft when the building was closed late at night.

Tang Wen agreed to this matter, as long as the building is not blown up, anything can be said.

The others were waiting upstairs, but Lu Yuanzhe only brought Ding Chenyu and Wan Yi down.

Everything in the elevator shaft seemed normal at first glance, and there was nothing wrong with the lighting and buffers.No excavation or directional blasting is possible. When they really go down to the bottom of the well, they can only see a narrow passage.

This is still a sightseeing elevator, so the glass shaft above can still see the outside world. If it is a general work elevator, it will only be more depressing.In addition, even if a certain amount of ventilation is ensured, there is still almost no one coming down here, and there is a stale smell that is not very good.

"So what if they come down?" Wan Yi still didn't believe that they could draw any conclusions like this.

"The reserved pit back then was definitely not so smooth and clean. If it really fell from such a high..." Ding Chenyu sprayed the luminol reagent against the wall, "Have you seen the video of Liu Wennuo falling from the building? Exploded."

"I don't want to think about it." Lu Yuanzhe shook his head, agreeing with Ding Chenyu's point of view.

Even if the wall has been painted many times, it does not mean that it can be covered so cleanly. As long as a trace of blood is left, it will be exposed under the luminol reagent.

They waited quietly for a while, and then found some dots of light on the wall.

"Too many..." Wan Yi exclaimed.

"It's not necessarily all bloodstains. The luminol reagent reacts to many things, such as... the excrement of stray cats and dogs." Ding Chenyu introduced, approaching one of the traces, "But you can still rely on other traces." method to distinguish, such as the direction of the splash."

"Don't bother." Lu Yuanzhe held the blueprint in his hand, "The reserved well didn't have much depth at the time. If there were not many criminals, it would be impossible to fill several meters in one go."

Hitting down with the impact drill, everyone waited quietly in the noise. The time seemed to be very long, which made people feel a little depressing; The hole-punching colleague stopped.

After 13 years, they can still smell the rancid smell that was sealed here at that time.

If you shine a light on the straight hole, you can see the corpses that have not yet completely decomposed.

Wan Yi covered his mouth and almost spat at the bottom of the well.

Lu Yuanzhe called Tang Wen, briefly reported the situation, and then notified the Public Security Bureau for reinforcements.

"Now it depends on whether we can go to your dad to get some clues after our autopsy." Back in the lobby on the first floor, Lu Yuanzhe looked at Cheng Mo, still worried about discovering the corpse, "What will your dad know? "

"The most is not to report what you know." Cheng Mo clenched his fists subconsciously, and after a while he noticed his movement, and retracted his hands into his sleeves, "My dad is a smart man, and he won't do anything to make himself unable to turn over. Stupid."

The body was taken out of the well that night. On the way back to the police station, Cheng Mo held his mobile phone and waited for a long time but did not get a call from his father. Due to professional ethics, he could not take the initiative to inform his father.

The autopsy will begin immediately, and everyone is waiting for the reason for Qi Qiuyu's fall.But before the autopsy was over, Cheng Song took the initiative to send the story.

At three o'clock in the morning, Cheng Song surrendered himself to the Public Security Bureau as soon as he heard the news.

·

In the interrogation room of the task force, Tang Wen and Lu Yuanzhe sat at one end of the table, and Cheng Song sat at the other end of the table. The video recorder was turned on, but the sound transmission system was turned off. Personal serious expression.

Others could still see that Cheng Mo needed to avoid suspicion, so he was invited to wait outside the task force.

The interrogation room of the task force really seldom received people, especially such an important person, Lu Yuanzhe was a little nervous, and he couldn't calm down when he was in charge of recording.

"I'll ask again, surrender yourself?" Tang Wen interrogated himself.

"Yes." Cheng Song didn't have much expression on his face, "I concealed a lot about Qi Qiuyu more than ten years ago, and now I explain it to the Public Security Bureau."

Lu Yuanzhe noticed that the words he used were "concealment and explanation", and he didn't know if he was still trying to quibble, or there was indeed something hidden.

Although they doubted Cheng Song, they really didn't go to the point of arresting Qi Qiuyu if they found him.

"I met her when my husband and I participated in the same photography exhibition 16 years ago." From the beginning of the story, Cheng Song took a deep breath and recalled the whole thing.

16 years ago, at a film festival in Daocheng, he went to see his own works exhibited, and met Qi Qiuyu who also went to the exhibition.

He originally just wanted to hear everyone's comments on his works, but Qi Qiuyu not only commented on his works, but also knew him, and asked him why he was willing to walk slowly at this turning point in Daocheng with such great ambitions.

He was surprised how Qi Qiuyu was so clear about the politics of the island city, and also surprised why Qi Qiuyu thought he was ambitious.

At that time, he didn't know that Qi Qiuyu was the mastermind behind the banquet, and he thought she was a relative of an important politician, so he could tell him some confidential information in advance.

But not long after Daocheng announced that it was included in the development zone, he found out Qi Qiuyu's true identity.Many major illegal incidents were mentioned in her mouth. They talked about the philosophy of life. Qi Qiuyu showed him his criminal works and asked him if he wanted to go to a bigger stage.

They maintained such a "friendship" until the bombing in the service area, he found that he could no longer control the situation, and began to plot against Qi Qiuyu.

"It also has something to do with Cheng Mo's mother." He admitted frankly.

Qi Qiuyu revealed a lot of information to him. He lured Yan into a whitewashing plan, pretended to create many cooperation plans for Yan, figured out its overall scale, and then cooperated with the Public Security Bureau to take away the entire Yan. knew.

What the Public Security Bureau didn't know was that he asked Qi Qiuyu to meet on New Year's Day 13 years ago.

Qi Qiuyu offered to watch the night view from the unfinished TV tower, and he agreed, and specifically asked the construction unit to give the construction team a few days off.At that time, the construction work was not going well, and the construction team just happened to be repairing and repairing, waiting for the final decision of the leaders.

He didn't know that Qi Qiuyu went home on purpose and remitted a sum of money to the bank card account he had left for Qi Qiuyu.

He still remembers the text message they agreed on the time and place, but he didn't elaborate—

"Work overtime on New Year's Day, don't plan to go back, meet up?"

"Go to the TV Tower in Daocheng to see the stars. In a few years, there will be no stars in Daocheng due to the heavy traffic."

"it is good."

·

The island city 13 years ago was far less prosperous than it is now, and the night view was nothing to see. They were all low-rise bungalows, occasionally interspersed with some unfinished office buildings.

But Qi Qiuyu is right, this is a good time to watch the stars, if you go to the TV tower now, even in the middle of the night, you will be surrounded by light pollution.

Qi Qiuyu likes to climb high and look far, so he especially likes Cheng Song's photography works.

"Can I treat this building as a gift from you?" She was already in her 30s at that time, and she still spoke like a lively girl in her twenties. Like the mastermind behind the banquet.

"Think whatever you like." Cheng Song didn't answer her question.

"I really like your character of being tight-lipped and ignoring me." She smiled, and she really thought so from the bottom of her heart, "My husband stopped working after he knew my identity, and only thought about how to spend money , it doesn't make any sense at all."

"Don't you have a son? You killed his father, and he didn't hate you at all?" Cheng Song asked.

"He is closer to me than you think." Qi Qiuyu said here, slowing down his tone meaningfully, "Do you know? Teenagers have an Oedipus complex, and it is possible that they really like to kiss themselves." Oh shit."

"But you, a mother, can't lead him to do this." Cheng Song said pretending to be serious.

"What's wrong? If I can be divided into two, I like myself. My son has inherited a little more than half of my DNA, so it's not bad." Qi Qiuyu smiled, "But you are still good, unless he I like him the most when he grows up to be as ambitious as you."

"At that time, I will be useless, and you will kill me." Cheng Song said bluntly.

"Of course." Qi Qiuyu is used to them chatting like this, and he doesn't think there is a problem at all, "So you have to work hard to be better than him, don't let me think that you are relying on me to climb up, or I will kill you somewhere The scene of an important meeting scares other people so much that they cannot take care of themselves.”

"When did I rely on you?" Cheng Song asked lightly.

"Don't be too nervous, my son is still at Mabao's age." Qi Qiuyu laughed again, feeling very happy, changed the subject casually, and started chatting about the changes in the island city.

Cheng Song is at work most of the time, and Qi Qiuyu is wandering around the island city most of the time. She is like a living map, witnessing the ever-changing changes of the island city.

Cheng Song didn't remember the whole chat process between them. He only knew that it was shorter than usual. They all overestimated their physical fitness. They didn't have heating to let the north wind blow, and they planned to change to other places soon.

They went downstairs together, and as soon as they entered the relatively closed fifty-floor, Cheng Song took out an anesthesia gun.He tried his best to be as casual as pulling out a lighter, but Qi Qiuyu noticed it immediately and ran downstairs quickly.

Not running away in a hurry, he even saw Qi Qiuyu smile.

The two of them chased after more than a dozen floors, and finally Cheng Song's physical strength was slightly better and stopped her.

She reached out to grab the back of Cheng Song's hand, Cheng Song didn't want to be scratched by her nails, and avoided, so the two of them opened up on the same floor.

With no way to escape, Qi Qiuyu retreated to the entrance of the elevator shaft, glanced down, and stopped.

"I don't want to kill you. This is a tranquilizer gun. Come with me." Cheng Song aimed at her and stood still half a step across.

"I know you won't kill me here." Qi Qiuyu breathed calmly and stared straight at him, "Ambition came a little early, I thought you would at least kill those political enemies from the Finance Bureau before you would be able to deal with it." I did it."

"It's my job to kill them, what does it have to do with you?" Cheng Song still didn't follow her words.

"If you kill me, as long as my son lives, he will chase you for revenge all his life. It's not good to mess with a child who is 11 years old and will torture to extract a confession." Qi Qiuyu reminded.

"So I won't kill you." Cheng Song emphasized again, "You are too dangerous, I just want to catch you."

"Don't put it so nicely, neither of us wants to fall into the hands of the other." Qi Qiuyu smiled, "I asked you to take it back and deal with it slowly. Didn't I give you a chance to clean up? Disappearance is better than death. Too much, as long as you leave the body, the forensic doctor will always find you."

"But you can't escape." Cheng Song looked around, but found no other shortcuts to go downstairs. Even if there were, Qi Qiuyu couldn't escape him.

Not to mention that everyone on the construction site has gone to a dinner party today, even if there are people, no one is willing to leave the heated room in the cold weather, and they can't hear the call for help.

"I'm a person who will get revenge. If I can't escape, I will never take advantage of others." Qi Qiuyu waved at him and smiled brightly, "I ate your hair."

Before she finished speaking, she took a step back and fell straight into the deep elevator shaft.

It wasn't until the loud noise of the landing rushed up the shaft that the air-conditioning entered Song's heart. He still missed Qi Qiuyu's abnormality.
