Dragon's Companion

"Husband, what does the word 攵 mean?"

Before going to sleep, Jiang Jiyao heard Luo An suddenly asked such a sentence, he thought for a while: "It's similar to '攴', it doesn't have any special meaning."

Turning his head: "What?"

"Today I saw a male corpse in the refrigerator of the forensic inspection department. Half of the muscles of the face were removed, and this word was carved on the cheekbones. I was wondering why the murderer wanted to carve this word on his face."

Jiang Jiyao: "Maybe I want to insult him."

Luo An also thinks so, but why not this word?

There is no special meaning.

If some insulting words were engraved, wouldn't it be more satisfying for the murderer's desire for revenge?

The more I think about things before going to bed, the more I can't fall asleep.Forget it, don't want to.

He is not sleepy, the egg yolk still has to sleep.

Luo An looked at the ceiling and was about to close his eyes, but then remembered something, laughed, and couldn't help sharing an embarrassing incident with Jiang Jiyao.

"I didn't expect Chief Shen to be only 28. When I helped him get his work permit, I said, 'You are the same age as General Xi Han, young and promising'. Unexpectedly, he was stunned."

Speaking of this, Luo An turned sideways, and regretfully bumped Jiang Jiyao's shoulder: "Did I be too surprised at the time, embarrassing Section Chief Shen?"

Although there is no malice, but if Shen Du is very concerned about age, it doesn't seem good for him to be like this.

Jiang Jiyao was silent for a moment: "I don't think he cares about age."

He lowered his head to meet Luo An's curious eyes, hesitated for a while: "Actually..."

After hearing Jiang Jiyao's words, Luo An, who had been drowsy, sat up from the bed and said in disbelief, "Is Section Chief Shen Brother Xi's ex-boyfriend? Is it real or not!"

It is estimated that Luo An would take it as a joke if someone else told him about it, but Jiang Jiyao was the one who told it.

It's hard to believe what comes out of this man's mouth.

But how could a person as cold as Section Chief Shen be with someone as oily as Xi Han?

In the original book, Xi Han was indeed thrown an olive branch by many people, but he did not admit it publicly. Luo An also always thought that the author only wanted him to focus on his business, but he did not expect that he also had an ex-boyfriend, so it was still like this Unexpected Section Chief Shen.

Luo An couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then why did they divide up later?"

Jiang Yao didn't know anything about it, "I don't know."

He has never been interested in seeking other people's gossip, and the time Xi Han and Shen Du have been together is also very short, less than half a month.

After Shen Du was transferred from the military hospital, the two of them stopped contacting each other.

"Is there any misunderstanding?"

Although Xi Han usually looks easy-going and talkative, he feels that if he meets anyone on the street, he has to start chatting.

But certainly not someone who plays with other people's feelings.

Section Chief Shen is even more so, a serious person who can completely manage the laboratory. I really can't imagine what it would be like for him to fall in love.

Jiang Jiyao: "I don't know. It's their business, so I don't want to ask too much."

Luo An nodded: "Yes."

He raised his head and kissed Jiang Jiyao, it's better for them, there will never be any misunderstanding.

And no matter how messed up he is, Jiang Jiyao will indulge him infinitely.

Speaking of this, he looked somewhere meaningful: "It's been two months, shouldn't it be time to expand?"

"..." Jiang Jiyao: "Just now you said to go to bed early."

Luo An got into the quilt on his side, turned over and pressed on it: "Sleep as if you are full."

However, people who said they slept as if they were full fell asleep in a daze before they were full. What was even more helpless was that the muscles tightened after falling asleep. When Jiang Jiyao came out, the blue veins on his forehead burst out.

"..."

Slowly straightened Luo An, covered the quilt, got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

The next day Luo An went upstairs to deliver the materials and just came back when Miao Yu stopped him.

Although Luo An hadn't spoken a few words to her since he came to the forensic department, the other party looked very familiar, and he was called Xiao An when he came up.

"Xiao An, I heard that you are in charge of the cold storage sample registration recently, right?"

Logan nodded.

"Oh, Section Chief Shen, you are pregnant, why did you ask you to take charge of the work of the underground cold storage, it is obviously easier to be an electronic recorder, as long as you weigh and scan it, you are done, and the clerk has to make a daily report. .And there is no technical content at all.”

He said with a regretful expression: "If I took you with me, I would definitely be reluctant to let you go to the underground cold storage to do such a boring job. It is a waste of talents to do this kind of repetitive work for No. 1 in the judicial examination. "

At that time, Section Chief Liu originally said that she or Yi Wenjie would bring Luo An, but he didn't expect Shen Du to join in the fun, and the opportunity to take the princess and concubine was snatched away like this.

And let Luo An be in charge of such an idiotic job every day, the clerk, to put it bluntly, anyone who can read can do it.

Looking at Miao Yu's righteous indignation, Luo An couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, "Section Chief Shen asked me to go to the underground cold storage so that I could become his assistant to get familiar with the environment in advance. Besides, I'm pregnant, and the electronic record will be fine even if I wear a bracelet. There is a small amount of radiation, so it must be safer to be a clerk. Sister Miao, you have misunderstood Section Chief Shen."

At first, he thought that he could take the opportunity to pry Luo An over, but he didn't expect him to think so, Miao Yu laughed dryly: "That's why I missed it."

Luo An turned around to go to the work station to change clothes, unexpectedly when she turned around, she saw Shen Du standing at the door, probably all the conversation between him and Miao Yu had been overheard, Luo An smiled at him.

After Shen Du nodded silently, he walked directly towards the laboratory without entering the door.

When Luo An entered the cold storage today, he found that Shen Du did not go directly into the laboratory as usual, but stood in front of the door waiting for him.

Before Luo An got a firm foothold, he heard him say: "Today you enter the laboratory with me. I will give you a complete demonstration first, and I will see your results tomorrow. If the effect meets the standard, I will put the next experiment into the laboratory the day after tomorrow. The platform is open for you to use, and you can choose from the cases in the past years that you are sure to start the experiment."

……

When eating at noon, Jiang Jiyao was not in the Ministry of Justice for the time being due to business, Luo An hugged his lunch box and saw Shen Du who was also alone in the crowd.

Go straight over and sit opposite him.

Shen Du glanced at him and didn't say anything, but the movement of eating was obviously a little uncomfortable.

Luo An opened the lunch box, revealing a box of delicious and tangy shrimp dumplings, each of which was as big as the other, and the dumpling skin was as thin as a sheet of paper, wrapped in tender and juicy beef cubes and plump prawns. The skin is stretched almost transparent.

Coupled with the heat preservation effect of the lunch box, it is just like the one just out of the pan, with steaming white steam on it.

You can tell from the dumpling wrapper that the stuff inside is good.

Luo An: "Brother Shen, are you allergic to seafood?"

Shen Du shook his head.

At the same time, he frowned uncomfortably, as if he was not used to Luo An's sudden change of address.

Luo An directly picked up two shrimp dumplings for him: "I made them last night, try them."

Shen Du frowned even deeper, he had never had the experience of sharing food with others.

But seeing the expression on Luo An's face waiting to try the food, he lowered his eyes and hesitated for a while, then took a symbolic bite at the side, "Thank you."

As a result, the half mouthful of dumplings came into his mouth, and the mellow and rich soup fell on his taste buds, which made him pause.

Originally, he just wanted to be perfunctory and cooperate with Luo An, but in the end he finished the two shrimp dumplings and was still a little unsatisfied.

Luo An asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

After seeing him nodding, he picked up a few more for him. This is a lunch box for two people. He has been having lunch with Jiang Jiyao since he joined the job. Jiang Jiyao went out today, so he happened to find someone to share with him.

Shen Du looked at the shrimp dumplings in the lunch box, wanted to refuse but was reluctant, why are ordinary steamed dumplings so delicious.

The fingers holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, secretly cursing himself as worthless.But he had to succumb to the temptation of delicious food.

Since they all ate other people's food, naturally they could no longer put on a cold face, and for the first time took the initiative to say a word to Luo An: "How do you do this?"

"It's shrimp and beef stuffing, wrapped in dough and steamed in a pan, it's simple."

Shrimp and beef, this is the first time Shen Du has heard of these two things as dumpling fillings. Usually he eats eggs, radishes or lettuce and mushrooms.

And the taste is very bland, and it can't be eaten without the sauce after cooking.

Unlike the one in the Luo Eucalyptus bag, even if you eat it directly, you will feel fresh, refreshing and endless aftertaste.

After eating, a layer of white mist appeared on Shen Du's glasses, which was steamed by the heat of the shrimp dumplings. He took out the glasses cloth from his jacket pocket, took off his eyes and began to wipe them carefully.

Luo An was stunned when he suddenly raised his head.

Could this... be the beauty sealed by glasses?

It feels like two people after taking off the glasses and putting them on!

If Shen Du has been like this, no one will be surprised because he is 28 years old, but will lament that he looks like 18.

I couldn't help but tsk tsk in my heart, Xi Han must have taken a fancy to her beauty.

Luo An: "Brother Shen, have you never thought about doing eye surgery?"

In this world, not to mention myopia surgery, even if the eye is gone, a prosthetic eye can be reinstalled.Therefore, in addition to wearing blue light glasses when watching videos, it is rare to see people wearing glasses in daily life.

Shen Du shook his head: "I'm used to it."

As he spoke, he put on his glasses and sealed his appearance back.

Immediately aged ten years.

Luo An: "..."

What a waste of money.

At this moment, the communicator on Shen Du's desk lit up, and just as Luo An reminded him to connect, the communicator in his pocket rang.

Such a coincidence.

In the end, the communication between the two was from Liu Xianyi, telling them to hurry up and get in the car.

There is a big case!

This is the first on-the-spot inspection at the scene of a crime since entering the Forensic Inspection Division.

When they arrived at the scene, the guards had already maintained order outside, and Luo An followed Shen Du to sneak in from under the cordon,

When I got out of the car and saw the yard, I could guess that the deceased must have a prominent status. Sure enough, after entering, I saw a magnificent old castle, colorful enamel walls, and rare flower seeds blooming in the atrium, wishing they could occupy a road.

After the establishment of the empire, the 79 Continents as a whole entered a modernized model. After the overall planning, the original old houses were basically demolished and converted into new houses in the same proportion. Only a few old nobles still kept their old houses to show their dignity.

And looking at the shape of this old castle, although it has been renovated, it should be a long time ago, at least two or three hundred years ago.

He followed Shen Du with the toolbox, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiyao and Jiang Chen to be there too. Seeing Luo An and the others, the two groups nodded to each other, and no one spoke through the protective mask.

This made Luo An realize the seriousness of this case, and even Jiang Jiyao personally came forward, at least it was a B-level case.

He glanced along the crack of the door, Liu Xianyi and Yi Wenjie had already started checking, because there should not be too many people checking, he and Shen Du could only go in after they came out.

Shen Du looked back at Luo An: "Are you okay? There's a lot of blood inside."

Ordinary law inspectors are of course not afraid of blood, but Luo An's situation is special, and at this time they will become very sensitive to smells.

Luo An: "Don't worry, I also ate Maoxuewang the day before yesterday."

"..." What is this?

When Liu Xianyi and the others came out, Shen Du took Luo An in. When the door opened, he saw two white cloths covering the ground.

Luo An opened the toolbox and asked, "Two?"

Otherwise, why cover two pieces of cloth.

Shen Du shook his head: "One."

"?"

Luo An looked over there, and there was indeed a bulge under the two pieces of cloth: "Dismemberment?"

Shen Du: "Skin off."

"..."

It's perverted enough.

Shen Du took the initiative to pick the one with a lot of bleeding, and Luo An walked to another white cloth by the window.The one on Shen Du's side is the skinned body, and the one on his side should be the peeled human skin.

It's just very strange, why is the human skin bulging?

Covered with a white cloth like this, it looks like a person is lying underneath.

Luo An put the open toolbox aside, sprayed disinfectant on his hands, and lifted the white cloth on the ground directly, and a piece of human skin filled with straw came into view.

The filling is just proportional to the size of a person, no wonder it is bulging.

The whole human skin should start from the bottom of the feet, peel off the two legs first, then cut along the back spine to the scalp, and then peel off the whole back.

I have to say that although the tangent line on the back is not very neat, the whole leather is almost intact, at least from the front, there is no flaw.Even the missing eyes were filled with two stones.

hiss……

Luo An used tweezers to move the two stones on top. The one on the left was not stuffed very deep. With a slight push, it fell off with a clatter, revealing the messy straw behind the eye socket.

He took out the sealed bag, sealed the stone directly in, labeled it, and put it in the evidence belt.

When I tried the stone on the right again, I found that this one was much stronger than the one on the left.After the human skin became stiff, it shrunk and became very tight, and it was not pulled out after being clamped and pulled out.

Could it be that I was suddenly anxious when I stuffed it, so I didn't push it hard?

Luo An was about to use more force to pull out the stone to see if there was something stuffed inside, when he suddenly found an inconspicuous dimple under the eyelids near the bridge of the nose.

It looks like the shape of the pinky knuckle pressed down.

……

After returning at noon, the two groups sat in the car and began to exchange information about the case.

Liu Xianyi first asked Shen Du: "The courtyard and the indoor circuit were damaged that night, but it only took 7 minutes to repair them. There were people in the castle reporting that they had seen the Duke 3 minutes before the power outage. It shows that the Duke has been killed. How do you think the murderer managed to kill the Duke and skin him completely in 10 minutes?"

Shen Du: "Who is that person who gave feedback?"

When he asked this question, Liu Xianyi knew what he was thinking, and said bluntly: "It wasn't him who did it. He went downstairs after greeting the Duke before the incident. Many people saw him working in the yard. And he Handed, and the murderer was left-handed."

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Luo An raised his hand beside him.

Liu Xianyi glanced at him and said with a smile: "What kind of hand is raised, it's not a meeting. Just say it."

Luo An: "I don't think the murderer should be left-handed."

After saying a word, the whole car was silent for a second.

Yi Wenjie, who was next to him, said: "This is Luo An. Although no tools were left at the scene, we found a lot of finger marks and bruises on the back of the human skin. It was judged that they were all left by the right hand. It shows that when the murderer put the Duke on the ground with his back facing up to peel the skin, he should have held the knife in his left hand and pressed the victim with his right hand, that's why so many bruises were left on the first layer of his body."

Luo An: "It may also be that he deliberately used his left hand to interfere with judgment."

Yi Wenjie and Liu Xianyi looked at each other and nodded: "It is indeed possible." But it is very small.

If he wasn't left-handed, he would be able to peel the skin to such an extent, it would be a rare genius.

This technique is completely comparable to professional forensic inspectors, and even Yi Wenjie was amazed at the precision of cutting in some places.

Seeing the expression of disbelief on both of them, Luo An directly took out the communicator, called up the photo taken just now, and enlarged it for them to see: "Have you seen this stone? Look carefully, there is a stone engraved on this stone. Number 9. It should be carved with a murder weapon after the murderer put the stone in the eye socket, so this stone is pressed much deeper than the other one. And you can see that the depression is on the side of the bridge of the nose. It means that the murderer should have used his right hand when engraving, so the little finger pressed here to leave a mark."

Originally, they planned to find the murderer in the direction of the left-handed man, but now they were stunned by Luo An's analysis.

So the murderer can be right-handed or right-handed.

He was pretending on purpose!

Shen Du: "The servant who saw the Duke last can investigate further."

He always felt that there was something wrong with that person. After all, killing and skinning in 10 minutes is theoretically impossible.

……

After returning to the laboratory, Luo An began to help Shen Du. Luo An washed away the blood on the stone, and the "9" engraved on it appeared more clearly.

What exactly does that mean?

The two of them kept busy in the laboratory until [-]:[-] pm when Liu Xianyi received the news that the murderer had surrendered himself.

It was the servant Shen Du suspected before.

Luo An and Shen Du exchanged glances, then hurriedly changed their clothes and went to the office.

"Surrendered yourself? Where is the person?" Luo An was a little surprised. When he was taking notes at the scene, the servant even denied that he had murdered the Duke. It took less than 24 hours for him to surrender himself.

Liu Xianyi shook his head, and took out a piece of letter paper: "Human committed suicide in fear of crime, leaving only a suicide note, explaining his reasons for killing the Duke and the process of committing the crime, which coincides with the forensic report."

Luo An took the letter over, and Shen Du also read it from the side, but after reading it, the expressions of the two were exactly the same puzzled.

Seeing that the two of them looked more worried than before, Yi Wenjie couldn't help asking curiously: "The case has been solved, why are you two still so sad?"

Luo An returned the letter to Liu Xianyi: "I don't think he is the murderer."

Even Shen Du, who had been suspicious of the servant before, shook his head at this moment: "I also feel something is wrong."

"..." Yi Wenjie shrugged: "He didn't kill him, but he voluntarily admitted that this person is mentally ill? Besides, if he didn't kill him, how did he know where the murder weapon was hidden? And he explained the crime process in such detail? And What he said in the letter has also been verified by the person concerned. The Duke has indeed violated his daughter many times, and he just committed murder. The motive of the father to avenge his daughter is completely reasonable. Besides, he was the last to see the Duke before the power outage that night. All signs indicate that he is the most suspected person, why do you think it's not him?"

Luo An glanced at the suicide note: "The handwriting is wrong, the words on this suicide note and the 9 on the stone were not written by the same person."

Hearing what he said, Yi Wenjie immediately retorted: "Didn't you say before that he can be left-handed? It's possible that this suicide note was written with his left hand."

"Using his left hand is to pretend, and he wrote this suicide note to confess himself, there is no need to pretend when dying."

Speaking of this, Shen Du also said: "And that servant's mental strength is only B. Although the Duke is also old, his mental strength is very high. How did he control the Duke in a short period of time and skin him alive?"

Yi Wenjie bit his lips a few times, but he didn't say anything after all.

It is true that there are still many doubts in this case that are still unclear, but now that the only suspect is dead and there is no evidence, even if they want to know, they have no way to investigate.

……

In the evening, Luo An went back with Jiang Jiyao, and on the way, he received a message from his grandfather, asking him if he wanted any more durians.

Luo An thought of the durian in the fresher and smiled.

[Grandpa is not used for the time being, I haven't finished eating what I sent last time. 】

And he was the only one at home to eat, every time Jiang Jiyao smelled the smell of durian, he would unconsciously frowned and keep a distance from him.

There was another time when Luo An intentionally ate the durian and kissed him on the mouth. Jiang Jiyao was fine at the time, but when he woke up the next day, he found that half of the toothpaste was used up.

Grandpa seemed worried, and asked him what else he wanted to eat, and said that he wanted a piece of fruit to send to him, but Luo An hurriedly declined.

There are not tens of millions of fruits in the kingdom of elves, but there are millions of them. If you give him a piece of the same, it is estimated that the grandson who can eat the egg yolk will come out.

Usually, my grandfather was afraid of disturbing his rest, so he said goodbye after a few words, but today he seemed to want to talk to him very much, and we talked for a long time.

Luo An also told his grandfather about the case he encountered at work today.

[Grandpa, I don't think the murderer should be the servant, but if you apply for a re-examination, you need to find evidence that the murderer is someone else, and I have no idea. 】

In fact, he didn't even think about the advice the Elf King would give him, but he talked for a long time today, and in front of close people, he said something casually.

[Grandpa: If you think this is correct, then do it, Grandpa supports you.Xiaoan, you have to remember that sometimes the eyes are the most deceiving. 】

When Luo An saw the last sentence, he was taken aback suddenly, and looked at Jiang Jiyao beside him.

Jiang Jiyao: "What?"

Luo An: "My grandfather just said the same thing as you said before."

After speaking, he held up the communicator and showed it to Jiang Jiyao.

Luo An asked curiously: "What is the specific meaning of this sentence?"

Jiang Jiyao recalled: "What I told you was literally. Sometimes you can't judge whether something is good or bad by eyes alone, but Grandpa said it."

He glanced at the communicator: "Not very clear."

As a result, while watching, another message came from my grandfather.

[Grandpa: By the way, is that brat by your side?Ask him what he wants to eat delicious, give him more. 】
