Urban Night Returner

The criminal police team is relatively idle when there are no cases.Shen Gu, Xiao Heizi, and Liu Wu moved into a separate office, and now there is no need for the chief to speak, and everyone knows that they are special.

Xiao Heizi was holding the computer and acted as a volunteer Internet policeman, while Liu Wu watched with relish the pictures of his rotten heart and rotten intestines, and Shen Gu lay on the table, thinking over and over again about the last sentence Zhong Lecen said that day.Why did he mention Suqin?What does it mean that Suqin is not born stealthily?Didn't they already think that Suqin was indeed secretly born in Shen Zhiyun's stomach?He also became Zuo Mu's son unluckily, so why did he say that Suqin was not born secretly?Zhong Lecen didn't care whether to kill him or not, and he didn't explain after he finished speaking. He just said that he hadn't figured it out yet, so he was thrown into the mist of clouds and mountains. Shen Gu couldn't torture him to extract a confession. Confused.

There was some movement outside, and Xiao Heizi ran out enthusiastically.He loves the police profession very much, but he finds it boring when he is free, so he wants to get up when he hears the movement.But he came back after a while: "Brother Shen, a floating corpse was found by the sea, someone reported it, let's go and have a look."

It is not uncommon to say that drowning people in Binhai City, there will be a few people almost every year, but it is relatively rare in winter, because there are fewer people going into the sea in winter.But what is even rarer is the expression of this corpse—calm, even with a little smile, which is particularly strange on the face that is a little swollen and white from the water.

Little Heizi frowned.The drowned people don’t look very good. Although he is dedicated to his job, he doesn’t have the tough nerves of Shen Gu, nor the perverted hobbies of Liu Wu, so his stomach feels sour when he sees it: “This, this is not Like drowned?"

"It's not 'not like', it's 'not'." Liu Wu was already wearing white gloves, pointing to the corpse and said, "The drowned people are not so well-dressed. You can see that the tie is not crooked, as if going to a banquet." Yes." The deceased was a young man under the age of 30, wearing a suit and leather shoes and a watch, all famous brands, and the light gray silk tie with pink stripes was really neat and tidy.Liu Wu squatted down and turned over the corpse's hands, "Generally, drowned people will kick and scratch, so their clothes will struggle in a mess and there will be residues in their nails. But the nails of this corpse are clean, so it must not be drowned. dead."

"That's murder!" Little Heizi jumped up as if he had been pumped out, "I'll go and find out his identity."

Liu Wu pouted: "Come on, it's not your turn now, is it?"

Little Heizi's enthusiasm for work was dampened, and he was furious: "Aren't you out of control too? Why don't you f*ck around corpses!"

Liu Wu waved his hands triumphantly: "Fake internet police, don't you understand? Lao Liu is on leave, Xiao Wang is on a business trip, and now I am a forensic doctor in the bureau, hahahaha!"

Little Heizi turned his head in grief and indignation.Shen Gu patted him: "Why are you excited? If you want to check, you can check it. If you are idle, you are idle."

Liu Wu pouted again, ordering people to carry the corpse away.The corpse was put on the stretcher, and when it was lifted up, Shen Gu saw something falling off the body of the deceased, a very small one, the size of a mung bean, which reflected a little pink soft light in the sun, and then fell on the beach superior.He went to look for it, but found nothing on the beach.Shen Gu sighed and frowned.He clearly saw something falling, although he just glanced at it, it was absolutely impossible to misread it.It looked like a bead, and seemed to have fallen out of the folds of the left sleeve of the deceased.He squatted down - the beach here was washed clean and firm by the tide, without even a single crack, and it was absolutely impossible for a bead to fall and be invisible.But—it was gone again, as if the soft light he had just seen was an illusion...

Little Heizi was indeed a restless life, even though the case was handed over to others, he still went to investigate the identity of the deceased with great interest.As a result, he greeted Shen Gu two hours later: "Brother Shen, I checked. Hey, this is a rich second generation, the son of the owner of the Amethyst Hotel, named Qiu Feng. Could it be that he was caught by someone?" Kidnapped."

"Nonsense." Shen Gu slapped him lightly on the head, "In the future, let's think about what to say. How can he be so well-dressed for kidnapping? It's a bit reliable to say that he is going to a banquet."

Xiao Heizi rubbed his head: "You can't go to the sea even if you are going to the banquet? Could it be that you are going to the Sea Dragon King's banquet? But if this Qiu Feng was really kidnapped, why didn't the family call the police?"

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "It's possible not to call the police. Go and see if they have found Qiu Feng's identity. If not, give them the information."

Little Heizi turned his head resentfully.As soon as he left, Liu Wu entered in a gust of wind: "It's a bit strange."

"What's weird?"

"Qiu Feng really drowned, his lungs are full of seawater."

"Could it have been injected with sedatives or something and then thrown into the sea?"

"But there is no drug residue in the body. And there is another strange thing-Qiu Feng's death time will not exceed six hours, but the watch on his hand has been soaked in water, which means that it has been soaked in sea water for at least three or four hours. It looks like heaven."

"Can this be seen?"

"That watch is a branded watch. I saw it in Hendry. It is made in Switzerland and is well-made. It claims to be underwater for 72 hours without water ingress. In fact, good quality can guarantee water resistance for four to five days. Now the internal parts have been repaired. water, indicating that it has been soaked for at least 72 hours."

"But the corpse definitely doesn't look like it has been soaked in water for three or four days." If so, it would be impossible to see it at all.

"Affirmative. The time of death will not exceed six hours, that is, at three or four o'clock in the morning. But - the water in the watch does not mean that the person must also be soaked in water..."

"But who would soak a watch in water for days before taking it out and wearing it?"

Liu Wu looked at Shen Gu and whispered, "Unless...he stayed underwater for three or four days and died in the early hours of this morning..."

"Is he a human or a monster?"

"An autopsy is definitely standard human anatomy. Maybe I should get my blood type done again?"

Shen Gu was helpless: "The identity of the deceased has been found out. The son of the owner of the Amethyst Hotel cannot be a monster." This Liu Wu is too receptive. Since he saw Zuo Jian's fox with his own eyes last time, now he seems to be talking about who He can accept even monsters.

Xiao Heizi came back yelling, "Brother Shen, they contacted the Qiu family just now, and the Qiu family's parents didn't even know that their son was missing! This son often goes out with friends, and he hasn't seen him for several days." It's normal, so his family never thought he was missing. According to his mother, the last time he was seen was when he and a group of friends went out to a birthday party. Who do you think it was with? It was Xiao Nan's group. How is it? You know Xiao Nan, so we can participate in this case, right?"

Xiao Nan's house was still so deserted and quiet, and there seemed to be a few fewer servants than when they came last time, making them seem more and more unpopular.Xiao Nan was alone at home, her complexion was not very good, as if she had caught a cold.When the servant said that there were guests, he was impatient, but when he saw that it was Shen Gu who came to the door, he became honest.

"Do you know Qiu Feng?" Shen Gu cut to the point.

"Xiao Qiu?" Xiao Nan rubbed his nose, "I know you. We often play together, and we went to someone else's birthday party last week. What's wrong with Xiao Qiu?"

Shen Gu showed him a photo, Xiao Nan didn't understand it at first, but then he saw the face soaked in water clearly, threw the photo away and retched: "This, this is——Xiao Qiu— —”

"Is it Qiu Feng?"

"Yes." Xiao Nan rubbed his chest vigorously, "Why, what, is he dead?"

"Yes. His body was found by the sea this morning. According to his family, the last time I saw him was when I went camping with you. Come and recall, what happened then? When did you break up?"

Xiao Nan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time: "How could it be - we went together that day, Lin Feng's birthday party, ah, Lin Feng's father is from the Environmental Protection Bureau, and he invited us to go on his 24th birthday. Let's have a meal. During the meal... nothing happened? We said we were going to wash our feet after the meal, but Xiaoqiu answered the phone as soon as he left the restaurant and left. After that, I went home I have a little diarrhea and fever, and I haven't gone out for a few days, so I haven't seen him again."

"What call did he get?"

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment before saying, "He——his girlfriend called."

"Girlfriend?" Shen Gu immediately thought of Si Xiaoqi's fate, and guessed that "girlfriend" meant something similar in their mouths, so he couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Nan also knew what he was thinking, and said without confidence: "Actually, it's not really a girlfriend. Xiaoqiu is also very romantic, and he changes girlfriends frequently. A while ago he fell in love with a girl, and he has been I'm chasing her. I heard that she is a tailor who specializes in making wedding dresses for people. According to Xiao Qiu, she is very beautiful, like a fairy, but she is a cold beauty. Xiao Qiu chases her, she has no intention at all, and she doesn't even pay attention to her. Xiaoqiu, the harder it is to get him, the more—" He looked at Shen Gu's gloomy face, and the more he said, the lower his voice, "The other day when we left the restaurant, the girl called suddenly, Xiaoqiu was very proud , and blew it with us, then left, and then I don’t know.”

"Since I haven't caught up, why did the girl call?"

Xiao Nan laughed dryly: "Because, because Xiao Qiu wrote her a love letter. He read this on the Internet, saying that girls nowadays are all pursuing romance, and sending flowers and diamond rings is too vulgar. This year is the most romantic It was a handwritten love letter. We all laughed at him at the time, saying that there is still no letter to this. But he was in a hurry, so he wrote a love letter and sent it. The love letter was written by his father’s secretary, and he read it. I've heard it before, "Dedicate my soul to you", it's quite sour anyway. Who knew that the girl would take the initiative to call him a few days after the love letter was sent to make him beautiful, and she had a good time with us. Let's go. There is no news these days, I think he is still with that girl and can't care about contacting us."

Shen Gu didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore: "Do you know the girl's name, where she lives or works?"

"I don't know, I only know that it's a wedding dress, and I don't know where I live. We also asked him, but Xiaoqiu didn't catch up with him, and we laughed so hard that we laughed, and maybe this girl is really beautiful and afraid of being snatched." He insisted on telling us when he catches up. So we don’t even know.”

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Shen Gu got up to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Does Qiu Feng usually wear any accessories?"

"Watches. He just likes Swiss watches."

"Is there anything else? Like pearls or something?"

"Pearls? That's not something men wear! It's just that the watch is inlaid with gems, and there are no pearls. Oh, there are mother-of-pearls, but those are usually women's watches, and Xiaoqiu can't wear them. "

"Will he buy it and give it to someone else?"

Xiao Nan thought about it: "That's possible. It's a gift for his girlfriends. But I haven't seen him buy pearls, but he bought more diamonds or rubies, which are more valuable than pearls. Now those girls know what to buy. It's on."

Coming out of Xiao Nan's house, Xiao Heizi sighed: "Yes, having this clue is the same as not having it. How many young and beautiful girls are there in Binhai City? Why don’t you ask? And if it’s a store, it’s easy to check, but if it’s at home or online, you can’t find it if you try your best.”

"No matter what, we have to check. There is a wedding dress street in Taidong. If we can't do it, we can start from there and ask from house to house." Before Shen Gu finished speaking, the phone rang, and it was Liu Wu. : "The corpse is rotten..."

"Rotten?" Shen Gu didn't realize why it was worth calling specially.Liu Wu has already said hastily: "Damn it, put it in the freezer for a few hours, and it will rot. There are a lot of corpse spots, it doesn't look like a corpse that has been dead for at least three or four days. That's it! If I were to test it now, I would think that the person had been dead for more than 72 hours and was still in the freezer, which shouldn't be the case at all!"

"Dead for three or four days?" Shen Gu suddenly thought of the watch, "Didn't you say that the watch looked like it had been soaked in water for three or four days?"

"That's right—" Liu Wu suddenly stopped, "Could it be that...the person has been dead for three or four days? But the body was still very fresh when the examination just now...This is absolutely unreasonable."

Shen Gu took a deep breath: "Yes, it is not in line with common sense. Maybe, our case is really here. In this way, you can go and talk to the director. Didn't other people go to Qiu Feng's house to investigate? Please trouble them to investigate Let us know the situation. Heizi and I will go to Taitung first."

Although the weather is still cold, Taitung is still very lively.When Shen Gu walked past the corner of the street, he couldn't help but think of the shop opened by a ghost.These days, with so many aliens around, it's really not safe for people!

"The Zuo team isn't coming back, is it?" Xiao Heizi suddenly thought of Zuo Jian, "I called him two days ago and the phone was turned off. If he was here, wouldn't there be more of us?"

Shen Gu shook his head, actually a little worried.Zuo Jian doesn't turn on his mobile phone, does it mean that his family affairs are already very troublesome, and he is too busy to make a call or it is inconvenient to make a call?Or should he inquire through Zhang Shengyi?

There are nearly a hundred bridal shops, large and small, on the wedding dress street. Xiao Heizi and Shen Gu took Qiu Feng's photo and asked each one for three hours, but none of them said they had seen this person.

"Hey!" Xiao Heizi sat down on the side of the road, "Brother Shen, I don't think it's right. If that girl killed Qiu Feng, she would definitely not admit that she knew Qiu Feng."

"She won't admit it. But didn't Xiao Nan say that Qiu Feng once gave this girl flowers and a diamond ring? With Qiu Feng's personality, it must have been very public. If she doesn't admit it, her colleagues must still remember it." Bar."

"But now no one says they've seen it."

"That means the girl doesn't work where we asked."

"I'll check online when I go back, how many bridal shops are there in Binhai."

"Officer Shen?" Xiao Heizi's words were interrupted by a probing inquiry, Shen Gu turned his head and saw a young and bright face: "Oh, you are--Accountant Han?" Afterwards, he chased the accountant for half a block in eighth-heeled shoes, probably Han Jinyue.

"That's right, it's me! Officer Shen still remembers me!" Han Jinyue laughed like a flower, "Why is Officer Shen here? Are you on patrol? Do you care about this area?"

Shen Gu smiled: "No. I'm transferred to the criminal police team now. Accountant Han works nearby?"

Han Jinyue smiled and shook his hand: "No, I'm here to see the wedding dress."

"Oh." Shen Gu remembered the diamond ring, "Accountant Han is getting married?"

"That's right." Han Jinyue burst into laughter again, "I ordered a wedding dress in a small shop here, and I came here to see how it was going. Fortunately, Officer Shen helped me recover the diamond ring last time. Otherwise, the diamond ring I just bought would be snatched by someone, so that would be bad luck. Hey, last time I said I would treat Officer Shen to dinner, but I was busy getting married and didn't take care of it. I finally met today, and Officer Shen will reward me? My boyfriend will come over soon. I told him last time that he also wanted to thank Officer Shen. "

Shen Gu is not very good at dealing with such familiar people, and was thinking of refusing, when he suddenly thought: "Where does Accountant Han make wedding dresses? Do these bridal shops still make wedding dresses?"

"There are also custom-made ones, but they are too expensive. They say they are ordered from Europe. I can't afford them. There is a small shop over there that specializes in handmade wedding dresses, including cheongsam-style and Western-style ones. , much cheaper than big stores, I ordered there."

"What's your name? We didn't seem to see it when we walked over just now."

"Hai's daughter. Hey, Officer Shen is also concerned about this? Want to order it for your girlfriend? Although the shop is small, it has good craftsmanship. I was also introduced by a friend..."

Shen Gu hurriedly interrupted Han Jinyue's thoughts: "No, I'm here to investigate a case. I haven't finished the work at hand. Accountant Han is not too polite about what happened last time. I'm a policeman, so I should. In that case, we have to leave quickly, let’s talk about it next time we have a chance to meet.”

"Oh——" Han Jinyue looked very regretful, and insisted on leaving his mobile phone number to Shen Gu, "Officer Shen, please call me when you are free, we have to treat you to dinner anyway, please remember to call ah!"

After leaving Han Jinyue, Shen Gu heaved a sigh of relief.Little Heizi chuckled: "Brother Shen, if Brother Zhong knows about this... Alas!"

Shen Gu withdrew his hand that was patted on his head: "Le Cen looks like you are thinking wildly when he is free! Let's go, go to that store and have a look. We walked over there just now, why didn't we see it?"
