In City B, in an ordinary restaurant with three bedrooms and one living room, several people gathered around Yuanyang Hot Pot, watching various ingredients rise and fall in the hot pot, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The man in his thirties sitting on the main seat warmly greeted him and said, "Eat, why are you staring blankly? You didn't eat before you came, right? In winter, eating hot pot is the most exciting thing."

The rest of the people picked up their chopsticks hesitantly, seeing that the man had already put a full bowl into their own bowl and started to eat in big mouthfuls. Tempted by the rich aroma, they finally started to eat one after another.

The dozen or so plates of meat and vegetables that were slowly placed on the table were quickly swept away, but only two bottles of beer were opened next to them—everyone drank in moderation, basically just a taste or two, most of the wine They were all drunk by the owner here, that is, this 30-year-old man.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone put down their chopsticks, and the man scooped the bottom of the pot twice with a colander. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out, he finally put down the colander regretfully, and wiped his glistening mouth. Then he said, "Now that we've eaten, let's get to know each other."

—Is it only now that you think of it?Mutual introduction should be at the beginning, you bastard!

Several people slandered in their hearts at the same time.

"Then let me introduce myself first, although I think you all know it." The middle-aged man poured himself a glass of beer and said at the same time, "I am the leader of this investigation team! My surname is Shu, so I feel comfortable. Shu, getting up means getting up after a comfortable sleep, of course it would be better if you don't get up, hahahaha..."

The silence around the table and the deadpan faces of the crowd showed that they didn't appreciate the poor joke at all.

Shu Qi rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Well~ I know that you are all elites in the industry. Although I was appointed as the team leader by the above, I don't have any special skills. After doing a little bit, I know a little bit about it, and I know a little bit about it.”

Having said that, none of the people at the table showed a look of contempt.They knew their abilities and strengths well, and at the same time they knew that the team leader who could be appointed to lead them would definitely not be a parallel importer. Even if he looked like a parallel importer, he was probably pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Shu Qi's appearance is ordinary, at most he can barely be called a little handsome; he is neither tall nor short, 1.7 meters eight; his body is well-proportioned, neither fat nor thin.The only thing worthy of praise in him is his pair of eyes, black and white, flexible and sly, revealing a kind of youth and vitality that does not match his appearance.

The young man sitting on his right coughed, and said, "My name is Jiang Quan. I am the deputy captain of the first criminal investigation team in City A. I received a secondment order to join the investigation team two days ago. I just arrived in City B this afternoon. What I'm good at It's detective work and criminal minds."

This small gathering is actually an investigation team for a special investigation on crows, with very few members, only a few people sitting at the table.But they are not the only ones who actually carry out this work. Now the public security bureaus in various provinces and cities have received notices about the crow incident, and the public security bureaus in all regions will summarize the data files found and collected to the investigation team for analysis. If necessary, the investigation team can temporarily mobilize a certain number of police officers from any police station to provide assistance.

In fact, Ouyang Rui is a better candidate than Jiang Quan in terms of his familiarity with the crow and the strength of his pursuit.But Ouyang Rui, as the captain of the first criminal investigation team in city a, has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he can't escape for a while.So in the end Jiang Quan was transferred.

The man wearing glasses on Jiang Quan's right hand then said: "Cheng Xuguang, a forensic doctor in city a. He has some experience in autopsy, identification and treatment. By the way, I am very interested in the killing methods of crows. I personally think that the killers in crows are engaged in Medical jobs or medical school graduates are very likely."

——The autopsies of Wang Chunshan and Palasa Brutt, who were suspected of being killed by the crow organization before, were both done by Cheng Xuguang, and he was also the only one who voluntarily applied to join the investigation team.

Sitting next to Cheng Xuguang, that is, the one directly opposite Shu Qi was Zhou Yunze, he smiled and said, "I am Zhou Yunze, please forgive me for keeping my previous identity a secret, some time ago I was an undercover agent in No. [-] Middle School in City A under the pseudonym Alan Neal. As for what you are good at, well... fighting, driving, firearms, that's basically it."

What he said is simple, and these items are basically something that everyone knows.But since it can be specifically mentioned, there must be something unusual.Good at fighting and driving, it’s okay to say that he is proficient in firearms... In the sugar country where the overall situation is always peaceful and stable, many policemen have no chance to shoot the bullets out of their guns once in their lives.What kind of work he was doing before, everyone had guessed more than a dozen possibilities in an instant.

On Cheng Xuguang's right is a tall beauty with short brown hair, cold eyes, pale pupils and lips, revealing an intellectual coldness.She introduced herself: "He Xin. Specialties are electronics, maintenance and network intrusion."

She didn't mention what she was doing before, and everyone tactfully didn't ask, and turned their attention to the last person who hadn't spoken yet.

This is a woman of no age.

She has a baby face, tender skin, long hair, curly eyelashes, petite stature, bangs cut at the same level as her eyebrows, and she looks like a well-behaved little girl. Her dimples are very sweet and cute, even if she just entered junior high school, people would believe her. The "girl" smiled sweetly, twirled a lock of hair with her fingertips and said, "My name is Shao Bao'er. I have no formal work experience before, so I'm considered an intern. Do I have a specialty... Does interpersonal communication count?"

……

After a good night's sleep, Rong Yuan washed and tidied himself up, took the money and keys and went out to eat.When passing by the gate of the community, the old man guarding the gate glanced at him several times.

The doorman, whose beard had turned gray, was very conscientious and greeted loudly, "Xiao Rongyuan, when did you come back?"

"The train in the early morning of the first day of junior high school came back at about six in the morning, didn't you see it?" Rong Yuan asked back, looked at the barrier at the door and said, "I remember when I came back, there were two cars rear-end here. !"

The old man in front was still a little confused, he remembered it immediately after talking about the rear-end chase, nodded and said, "Oh, that's right. You came back that day. I remember...you were still carrying a suitcase, right?"

"Yes, you have a really good memory." Rong Yuan said goodbye to the old man, and went out to have breakfast, with a slight smile on his lips.

——He went directly to the hospital on the morning of the first day of the new year, but of course he never came back. The rear-end chase was also reported to him after Pea hacked into the community's surveillance video.Naturally, he was not seen in the video, but the monitoring had a blind spot, which is not difficult to explain.Moreover, once the time limit for cell monitoring and retention expires, all of them will be deleted.

Rong Yuan purposely went out in the morning when there were a lot of people coming in and out. When passing the gate of the community, he deliberately slowed down his pace. At the same time, he kept eye contact with the gatekeeper for more than a second, intentionally or unintentionally letting him talk to him, in order to During the conversation, instill in the other party the impression that you have returned long ago.

The uncle who guarded the door hadn't seen him in the past few days, but when he mentioned the rear-end chase, the other party felt that he was also the one who witnessed the incident at that time, and established the impression that he was there at the scene.Then he would feel that he had indeed seen Rong Yuan that morning, and subconsciously based on the word "take the train" mentioned in his speech, his brain automatically constructed the scene when he came back with a suitcase.

Human memory is like this. As long as you give appropriate inducements and hints, you will often implant a memory that has never happened in your brain. You will think that you have seen what you have not seen or done. Once done, it will even automatically fill in various details.In addition, Rong Yuan has been in and out of this community for more than ten years, and the same scene has been repeated too many times. He can easily extract a picture from the past and integrate it into the memory of the day without any effort.

The purpose of Rong Yuan's doing this is naturally to be prepared when someone wants to track down his whereabouts that day in the future.When he woke up in the morning to take a shower, he reviewed his actions during this period, and found that there were still obvious flaws in the area of ​​returning home, so he came here to make a patch.He didn't know if it made sense for him to do so, or if it would work one day.But he implemented his plan seriously and rigorously, and whenever he found any loopholes, no matter how big or small, he would immediately remedy them.

……

"Please take a look, thank you... Please take a moment to take a look, thank you... If you have any clues, please contact us, the contact number and email address are above, thank you very much..."

Li Mei was holding a thick stack of leaflets, and when she met a passerby on the road, she would put a piece of paper in it, thanking him and begging him to take a look at the contents of the leaflet.She let go of her self-esteem and reserve, brazenly stopped every impatient passer-by on the road, kept thanking and bowing, anxiety and worry were almost written on her face.

The notification tone of the text message on the mobile phone rang crisply.

Li Mei cried for a long time before realizing that it was the voice on her mobile phone. In the hope that someone might have found her son, she hastily wiped away her tears, tried her best to open her red, swollen and dry eyes, and looked at the voice on the phone. information.
