Grocery Store No.514

On October 3020, 10, in the dissection room of the forensic department of the police station, Su Ke, the chief of the forensic department, was dissecting the corpse, and Jiang Chengyan, a member of the criminal investigation team, opened the door and walked in.

"Su Ke, you haven't rested for two days. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it." Seeing Su Ke's thick dark circles, Jiang Chengyan couldn't help persuading him worriedly.

"I'm fine. But it's rare for you to wear a mask. Why are you so self-conscious today?"

Jiang Chengyan touched the left side of his face subconsciously, and said, "I have a cold, and I'm afraid of contagion. How about it, can you guess the exact time of death now?"

"The time of death of the deceased was between 10:22 and 22:23 on October [-]."

"What about the cause of death?"

"Because there is no head, the neck was cut with a sharp weapon. The wound is very rough, destroying a lot of evidence. I can't conclude yet, but there is a 90.00% possibility that the death was caused by mechanical asphyxiation."

"Then can drug residues be detected on him?"

"No. In addition to cutting wounds, the deceased also had many struggling injuries. He should have fought with the murderer before he died."

"Can the age of the deceased be inferred?"

"The deceased, male, should be between 35 and 40 years old based on the bone age. His fingers were corroded by sulfuric acid, so fingerprints could not be extracted, and his DNA failed to compare in the database, except for his head. Ministry, otherwise it will be difficult to determine his identity."

"The murderer destroyed his fingerprints just because he didn't want us to confirm his identity. I'm afraid the head of the deceased is not so easy to find." Jiang Chengyan couldn't help sighing.

"It will take a lot of work for you to search for missing persons, but anyone who meets the conditions can know his identity by comparing his DNA."

"Are there any other clues on the body that can prove his identity?"

"I haven't found it yet, but I'll try my best."

Jiang Chengyan patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have done a good job, go to rest, and leave the rest to Hu Yang and Xiao Zhang. It has been so long, and it is time for them to exercise."

Su Ke looked at the corpse, took off his gloves, and said, "Okay, then leave it to them. I'll go back to sleep and tidy up."

The two walked out of the dissection room together. Su Ke explained what Hu Yang and Zhang Xiaolan were going to do next, and went straight home, while Jiang Chengyan took Wang Bin to the garbage removal company to learn about the garbage removal at the crime scene. time.

While the criminal investigation team was investigating and collecting evidence non-stop, Ling Hua'an was still sleeping and did not wake up until noon.He opened his eyes, and it was still pitch black. He was stunned for a while, then sat up, looked at Wang Lei beside the bed, and said in a flat tone, "I should have said that you can't enter my room."

Wang Lei flinched subconsciously, and said aggrievedly: "Boss, that headless ghost came out of the bell somehow, he...he occupied the living room, I dare not stay there, so..."

Ling Huaan frowned slightly, groped to find the bell, and suddenly remembered that when he took a bath yesterday, he seemed to have forgotten to take the bell out of his pocket. It must be that the bell touched the water and wet the characters on it, so it lost its mana.

Ling Huaan fumbled out of bed, put on his slippers and went straight out of the bedroom. Looking at the headless ghost floating on the sofa, he frowned, and said flatly, "This sofa is [-] yuan, and it will be added to the commission afterwards."

The headless ghost was startled, and then said: "Master, I'm a ghost, even if I lie on it, it won't get dirty, so don't ask me to pay for it."

"I'm obsessed with cleanliness. If anyone touches anything in this house, it must be replaced immediately." Ling Hua'an looked straight at the headless ghost and said, "So what else have you touched?"

The headless ghost quickly floated down from the sofa and said, "No, no, I didn't touch anything except the sofa."

Ling Huaan returned to the study, took out a wet towel, wiped off all the characters on the bell, took out a box of cinnabar from the drawer, mixed it with water, picked up a brush and concentrated on drawing the characters on the bell.After writing all the characters, it was already half an hour later, he put the bell on the window sill to dry, and fumbled to get another bell to dry out of the study.

After chanting the spell silently, Ling Huaan took the headless ghost back to the bell, and Wang Lei heaved a sigh of relief, and sat back in his exclusive seat in an orderly manner.

"Ding dong ding dong", the doorbell rang, Ling Huaan frowned slightly, turned around and came to the door, and asked, "Who?"

"Brother, it's me, open the door quickly, I brought you delicious food."

The familiar voice and friendly tone made Ling Huaan's brows relax. He opened the door and said, "Today is not the weekend, why are you here?"

"No class this morning. Brother, I bought you tofu curds and deep-fried dough sticks after a long journey. Are you going to block the door and not let me in?"

Hearing his acting like a baby, Ling Huaan didn't know what to do, let the door open, and said, "Come in."

Lu Hao put the things in his hands on the dining table, took out the dishes from the kitchen familiarly, and said while tidying up: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do I feel that you have lost weight again, have you lost weight recently? Didn't eat well?"

"Your delusion." Ling Huaan came to the dining table, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Lu Hao put one of the bowls of bean curd in front of Ling Huaan, and said, "Is it an illusion? Maybe it's because I haven't been here recently...Brother, I want to move here and live with you."

"No." Ling Hua'an resolutely refused. There are often ghosts haunting his place, and his place is very dark. If a normal person stays for a long time, it will be somewhat damaged.

"Brother, you used to say that I was too young to take care of myself. Now that I am an adult, and I have learned to cook and do housework, I can take care of you."

Lu Hao's words made Ling Hua'an very heartwarming. Ever since his father passed away and his mother remarried, his relationship with his mother has become more and more indifferent.Until Lu Hao was born, for some reason, Lu Hao was very attached to him. When Douding was a little bit older, he couldn't speak, so he just looked at him and smiled stupidly.After he was able to walk, he ran after him all day long, holding Lu Hao's soft hand, Ling Hua'an's lonely heart was warmed, and his relationship with Lu Hao became closer and closer.Ever since he moved out of that house, this kid has been arguing to live with him from time to time. It has been ten years, and he is still persistent.

"When you grow up, you should have your own life, and I'm used to being alone."

"Brother, you are cheating!" Lu Hao complained, "You thought I was small when I was young, and you still hate me when I grow up. I think you just don't love me anymore."

Ling Hua'an pinched the center of his eyebrows helplessly, and said, "I think it's you who are used to acting like a baby."

"Brother, I don't care, I just want to live with you, and this place is also close to my school." Lu Hao took Ling Hua'an's hand, and said coquettishly, "Brother, just promise me."

"No, I have my own private life, it's inconvenient for you to move here."

"Private life?" Lu Hao was stunned, and then asked excitedly, "Brother, are you in love? Who is sister-in-law, is she pretty, and what does she do?"

"What do you think he looks like, can I see it?"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, let's eat quickly, the bean curd is cold."

After successfully calming Lu Hao down, Ling Hua'an couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. This kid is good at everything, but he talks too much, which makes Ling Hua'an, who always likes to be quiet, a little headache.

Out of guilt, Lu Haoan finished his meal quietly, holding back the great curiosity in his heart, until the dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, then he came to Ling Huaan's side and asked, "Brother, who is she, and how did you know each other?" Yes, when can I meet you?"

Ling Huaan was silent for a while, then said calmly, "He is a man."

"What?" Lu Hao looked at Ling Hua'an in surprise, and said, "Brother, did I hear correctly, you mean my future sister-in-law is a man?"

Ling Huaan nodded calmly and said, "I like men, and I'm gay."

"So that's the reason why I'm not allowed to move here? Is it because I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it?"

"Don't you reject it?" Although Ling Hua'an was very calm, he still felt uneasy when facing Lu Hao. After all, he was the person closest to him.

"Why do you reject?" Lu Hao took Ling Hua'an's arm and said with a smile: "Brother, you are my dearest relative. As long as you feel happy, it doesn't matter if you like men or women. And brother is so nice As long as we are not blood brothers, I want to pursue you."

Ling Huaan raised the corners of his mouth in comfort, patted his head, and said, "Silly boy, I'm blind and gay, why don't I know what's good about me."

"Brother, I'm not happy if you talk about yourself like that again. Although you have limited mobility, you will be independent in the future. You bought this house and the car with your own money, and the stack of donation slips in the drawer, In the past ten years, you have supported hundreds of students in impoverished mountainous areas, and I know all of this. In my heart, no one is better than you."

"You brat, is there any place in my house that you haven't touched?" Ling Hua'an slapped Lu Hao on the forehead.

"Didn't I accidentally see it when I was cleaning my brother?" Lu Hao rubbed his forehead and said curiously, "Brother, you haven't told me who my sister-in-law is yet."

"What sister-in-law is not sister-in-law? I just told you that I like men. When did you say I'm in love?"

"No? That's just right, I can move in and live with my brother."

After talking, the topic turned here again, Ling Huaan couldn't help feeling a headache, and said helplessly: "Although there is no one now, it doesn't mean that there will be no one in the future. It is not convenient for you to live here."

"Brother, tell me the truth, do you have that person in your heart?"

Hearing Lu Hao's question, Jiang Chengyan's name automatically appeared in Ling Hua'an's mind.

"Brother, as long as you say that you already have someone you like, I will give up the idea of ​​moving here, and I will never disturb your sweet two-person world."

Ling Hua'an said angrily: "You don't come here, I won't do it if I say no, if you make trouble again, I won't use it in the future."

"Brother, just tell me, I promise I won't ask any questions, otherwise I'll stay here."
