Scarlet Spirit Eye

Chapter 1 Prologue

"——I will insert a weather forecast for you. From today night to tomorrow day, Haicheng will be affected by the cold air, and it will usher in a heavy rainstorm that is rare in ten years. There will be thunder and lightning in some areas. Please pay attention to listeners and friends, and try to avoid going out as much as possible. , avoid trees when walking outside. If you are driving, please drive slowly, keep a distance between cars, and pay attention to safety."

As soon as the voice on the radio fell, a bright light flashed in the dark sky and then disappeared. The speed was only in the blink of an eye, and then there was a loud noise in the air.

boom--

It was as if the sky had been blasted open.

Between lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell from the sky.The raindrops are like heavy steel balls, beating the glass of the car window indiscriminately, and the dense water droplets gather into water columns, flowing down like waterfalls in the mountains.

Jiang Siyan, who was driving, snorted disdainfully, and complained: "The broadcast is really timely."

The downpour far exceeded expectations.

The windshield wipers were swinging back and forth, already at top speed, but even that was of no avail.

It's raining too much.In Jiang Siyan's memory, he hadn't seen such heavy rain in Haicheng for a long time.

In the dark night, the rainwater illuminated by the headlights is translucent, refracting some dazzling light and shadow, making people dazzled and unable to see the road ahead clearly.Such bad weather is really tricky for a novice like Jiang Siyan who has just got his driver's license for a few months.

Jiang Siyan drove his Benz carefully. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were not many vehicles on the road, so he didn't need to be too nervous.The novice drove like an old driver, the car drove smoothly, turned a few intersections, and came to a main road in the urban area.

On rainy nights, there are very few vehicles passing by on the spacious road, and the poplars lined up neatly and orderly on both sides of the road seem to be silent defenders in the night.

Jiang Siyan thought that as long as he passed the next intersection, he would be home soon, so he felt relaxed and happy, and he whistled to celebrate.

The whistle was half blown.

Suddenly, the urgent siren whistled from far and near, and a car was coming from the opposite direction. The speed was extremely fast, and the model and color could not be seen at all, only the dazzling high beams from the other side could be noticed.

Jiang Siyan couldn't help frowning, narrowing his eyes, and cursed angrily, "You idiot."

"Bah—" The car in front of me suddenly turned half a circle, lost its balance in an instant, and rushed straight towards Jiang Siyan's car.

The incident was urgent, and there was no time for his brain to react, Jiang Siyan just instinctively raised his arms to cover his head.

With a "bang", the two cars collided and bounced off immediately due to the mutual force.The road washed by the torrential rain was extremely slippery, and the car inevitably flew a few meters away, directly rolling up the rain on the ground and splashing it around.Jiang Siyan's car bounced off the ground and rolled over, hitting the curb on the side of the road. In the end, the two cars stopped on the left and right sides of the road.

Sirens, collisions, and thunder all suddenly dissipated, leaving only the sound of rain pattering on the ground, and the flickering headlights.

Jiang Siyan struggled to open his eyes, and smelled the smell of blood in the car.He felt hot on the top of his head, and his whole body was dizzy and distracted. He didn't know what happened, nor how long he had been in a coma.Jiang Siyan tried to move a little bit, the pain spread from his limbs to the bone marrow, and he couldn't help moaning hoarsely: "Uh——".

After driving for less than three months, he unexpectedly encountered unexpected accidents, first encountered a heavy rainstorm once in ten years, and then got involved in a car accident for no reason.

Jiang Siyan didn't have time to think too much. At the moment, all he could think about was the desire to survive. He had to escape from the car to prevent the car from exploding due to oil leakage and endangering his life.There are too many similar classic plots in the past TV series, and various pros and cons have lost their lives. At this moment, countless explosion scenes are scrolling in my mind like a slideshow.Enduring the pain, Jiang Siyan opened the car door with his left hand, and leaned back the lock of the seat belt with his right hand.

"Crack."

The seat belt is undone.Jiang Siyan heaved a sigh of relief.He pushed open the door, put his hands on the door frame of the car, and tried his best to climb out of the car, but halfway through the climb, he lost his strength and rolled from the car to the ground.

"Ah—" the voice gradually disappeared, and the person stopped after rolling a few times on the ground, lying on his side in the middle of the road.

The rain hit Jiang Siyan mercilessly.In the already dark night, blood and rain merged into one, making it even more difficult to distinguish.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and Jiang Siyan's eyes slowly closed.Just at the last moment before closing, there was the sound of footsteps next to my ears, and a faint red light appeared in front of my eyes.

"Ah~ah~ fifth ring, you have one more ring than fourth ring..." A unique and joyful voice resounded throughout the room.

The magical wake-up bell has become a clarion call to save souls, waking people from nightmares back to reality.Jiang Siyan got up from the bed sweating profusely, propped up his upper body with one hand, and sat up against the head of the bed.A few quick breaths calmed his frightened and flustered heartbeat.

Nine years have passed since that sudden accident, but Jiang Siyan, the victim, still can't let go of it.When I dream back at midnight, I often go back to that rainy night and see some incomplete pictures.

The results of the accident investigation that year showed that because the other party's speed was too fast, the tires slipped and the car could not be braked, resulting in a car accident.The vehicle that caused the accident was a police car and was rushing to the scene of the investigation. The policeman in charge caused the accident because he was in a hurry.

As far as the investigation of the scene of the car accident was concerned, the car rolled over and was seriously deformed, and the airbag failed unexpectedly. Experts said that Jiang Siyan was alive, and he could only explain it by his life.In the end, he only got a sum of compensation from the public, and then let it go.Jiang Siyan summed it up in five words: He deserves it.

"Buzz—" the phone rang, and the caller ID: Brother Wei.Wei Yang, the captain of his police station, was affectionately called Brother Wei by him.

Jiang Siyan picked up the phone, slid the screen away with his index finger, and picked it up, "Brother Wei, what's the matter?"

Wei Yang has long been accustomed to hearing this crushing title.Thinking about the first time he heard that Jiang Siyan wished to strangle him to death, all kinds of coercion and lures made him change his mind, but Jiang Siyan was thick-skinned and stubborn, and he insisted on sticking to this title to the end, forcing him, the captain, to compromise.

Jiang Siyan, this monster was probably born to restrain him.

Listening to Jiang Siyan's voice mixed with a nasal voice, Wei Yang frowned slightly: "Still sleeping?"

"Get up." Jiang Siyan said while holding the phone, walking towards the bathroom.

"Then hurry up, you don't need to go back to the bureau, just come directly to Bosheng Community, there is a murder case."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Siyan put the phone on the corner of the sink, looked up at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help sighing at his handsome face.

To be honest, he was not only lucky, but also extremely lucky. The car accident did not cause any serious problems to Jiang Siyan, neither disfigured nor broken legs, but there was something extra on his body.

Facing the mirror, Jiang Siyan looked seriously at his own eyes in the mirror, one black and one red, pupils of completely different colors.After the car accident, he was in a coma for nearly a month. After waking up, his right eye turned blood red, and this strange blood pupil could see things that ordinary people couldn't see.It is also for this reason that he embarked on the road of the police.

Jiang Siyan simply washed up, put on black colored contact lenses, put on casual clothes, picked up the key on the shoe cabinet at the door, hummed a little tune, pushed and kicked, and left the house.

Taking the elevator all the way to the underground parking lot, bypassing all kinds of luxury cars, Jiang Siyan stood in front of his car, put the key in the lock and turned it, and drove away immediately.

At this time, a cordon was pulled up in the Bosheng Community.

Wei Yang stood on the third floor, leaned on the window and poked his head out, shouting at the top of his voice, "Is that kid Jiang Siyan here yet?"

The people downstairs looked around, turned their heads and replied loudly: "I haven't seen anyone yet."

"Damn it." Wei Yang was very impatient, with anger written all over his face.Early in the morning, before dawn, he received a call from his superiors, telling him that a murder had occurred in Bosheng Community.

He rushed to the scene of the crime immediately, and felt bad when he saw the corpse and the surrounding environment.The deceased was the hostess of the family. She fell in the toilet with a pool of blood on the ground, holding a knife in her hand, apparently stabbed to death by the knife.The person who found the deceased was the husband of the deceased. He had just returned from a business trip this morning. When he got home, he planned to go to the bathroom and then go back to the bedroom to sleep. As soon as he entered the bathroom, he found his wife dead, and immediately called the police.

Generally speaking, such a situation is initially determined to be suicide, but the possibility of homicide disguised as suicide cannot be ruled out.

According to the analysis of past cases, when one of the husband and wife died, the other party was first suspected. However, the alibi of the husband in this case proved that he was out of town for the past week and only came back early this morning.According to the forensic examination, the time of death was around eleven o'clock last night, and the husband of the deceased was on the plane at that time.Even if you want to kill someone, you are helpless.

The weirdest thing is the way the deceased died, with a smile on his face and a sense of relief.At first glance, it seems to be relief, but after many years of experience in judging cases, I think it is not the case. There is always something unclear in the expression of the deceased, and this alone is puzzling.

"Here we come." A commotion came from downstairs.Standing by the bed, Wei Yang watched a white electric scooter slowly approaching in the distance. The rider was wearing a pink hard hat.

It was Jiang Siyan, there was nothing wrong with it, only he would wear such a coquettish hat.

Ma Qing, who had just been transferred to criminal investigation, saw Jiang Siyan coming, and immediately ran over and shouted, "Brother Yan, hurry up, the boss is waiting for you!"

"Okay, no rush." ​​Jiang Siyan parked his car, took off his helmet, brushed his bangs with his hands, and asked calmly, "Which floor is it?"

Ma Qing: "The third floor."

Jiang Siyan looked up at the building in front of him, the six-storey residential building, the original color on the wall was all gone, revealing the original appearance, the building is probably about the same age as him.

Wei Yang yelled at Jiang Siyan who was dawdling: "What are you doing? Come up soon."

Jiang Siyan waved his hands: "Come right away, Brother Wei."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Siyan stepped straight into the unit door. In the old community in the 90s, the anti-theft door is still an old iron sheet, and the green color on it has been brushed countless times.The old buildings that are a bit old naturally do not have modern elevators, so they can only climb the stairs with the handrails.

After several back and forth, Jiang Siyan arrived at the deceased's house, and he couldn't help but frown as soon as he entered the door.

Wei Yang asked straight to the point: "What do you see?"

Jiang Siyan: "Is it like this when you came here?"

Wei Yang nodded: "Well, that's it."

"This is too clean!"

In fact, it is more appropriate to describe it as spotless. The floor tiles look reflective, and even the furniture items are neatly placed.

Ma Qing interjected: "I asked the hostess of this house, and the deceased had a serious cleanliness habit, and he had to clean and tidy up almost every day."

Jiang Siyan shook his head, but did not speak. He walked around the room and asked, "Do you have any photos of the deceased?"

Ma Qing: "Yes, here."

Jiang Siyan glanced at the photo of the corpse, and said doubtfully, "Laughed? It's a bit weird."

Ma Qing said "hmm", "Brother Wei also felt strange when he saw it."

Jiang Siyan: "Have the family members of the deceased asked about it?"

Ma Qing: "I've checked everything, and it's confirmed that my husband is not suspected of committing a crime, my son has not returned from boarding school, there is no sign of intrusion in the house, no one lives upstairs or downstairs, and the guy who lives across the street came back from the company at [-] o'clock in the morning."

"Then did the deceased have any tendency towards depression and self-abuse?"

"No, the husband of the deceased said that the deceased was healthy and had no psychological problems, so he does not believe that his wife committed suicide, and he is very sure that it was homicide."

"Have you asked other family members?"

"Contacting."

"Where's the dead man's son?"

"We are communicating with the husband of the deceased and let the two sons be questioned. But the husband of the deceased hesitated."

"why?"

"The child is just in the third year of junior high school, so I don't know if he can accept this fact. The father doesn't know how to tell the child that the mother is gone." Ma Qing sighed helplessly.

Jiang Siyan nodded in understanding.

Jiang Siyan checked the bathroom carefully again, and asked, "Where is the body of the deceased now?"

Ma Qing: "I was taken away by the forensic doctor. It should be further examination to clarify the cause of death. Now the preliminary judgment is suicide, and the time of death was eleven o'clock last night."

Jiang Siyan: "Understood, I'll go and see the corpse. You tell Brother Wei to have him do a blood test on the whole house."

"Okay." Ma Qing nodded, it was his elder brother, and he would see the dead body in the case.

Jiang Siyan came to the forensic room of the bureau, and the body of the deceased was placed on the autopsy table.

"Here we come." The person who spoke was Huang Yanming, the forensic doctor. He was not surprised to see Jiang Siyan appearing in his workshop. He had just calculated the time for his arrival.

"Yes." Jiang Siyan picked up Huang's forensic record book, glanced at the name of the deceased on it, "Yang Meijing."

Huang Yanming sighed, "Oh, what a pity, you're still so young."

"Yes!" Jiang Siyan turned his head and looked at the woman standing beside the anatomy table, wearing a white dress, her abdomen was dyed red.

Jiang Siyan stared at the person in front of him for a long time, seeing the expressionless person on the other side, he was puzzled, slowly leaned over, and said in a low voice, "How does it feel to see myself lying on it?"

Yang Meijing turned her head and looked at Jiang Siyan in disbelief: "You? Can you see me?"

"Let's chat." Jiang Siyan turned his head and said to Huang Yanming: "Old Huang, you go ahead and I'll come back later."

"Go." Huang Yanming was not surprised by Jiang Siyan's strange operation.

Jiang Siyan pushed open the door and invited Yang Meijing out, but it was Yang Meijing's ghost who actually invited out.

When the two came to the corner of the stairs, Jiang Siyan took the initiative to ask, "Do you have anything to say? Is there any grievance that I need to clean up for you?"

Yang Meijing shook her head: "No."

Jiang Siyan: "Are you committing suicide?"

Yang Meijing: "Yes."

Jiang Siyan: "But why don't I feel like it?"

Yang Meijing showed a bitter smile: "That's your problem, I have nothing to say."

Jiang Siyan couldn't understand such a dead person with an indifferent attitude and completely refusing to cooperate with the investigation.After a while, two ghosts and gods appeared behind Yang Meijing.

Before leaving, Yang Meijing said calmly: "Don't think too much, this is my choice."

Jiang Siyan watched the person disappear before his eyes, feeling even more confused.This person died without any grievances, otherwise it would be impossible to be taken away.

Is it really suicide?Jiang Siyan fell into deep thought unconsciously.

An hour later, Wei Yang brought people back to the bureau and held a meeting on the case.Ma Qing was appointed as the narrator and introduced the situation of the case.

"The deceased, Yang Meijing, female, was 38 years old. The time of death was preliminarily determined to be around eleven o'clock last night, and there was no sign of intrusion in the house. However, after blood tests, blood stains that had been cleaned were found in the living room, so homicide was suspected. "

Wei Yang looked at Jiang Siyan and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Siyan: "It's strange. But I can't explain it. Has the community monitoring been adjusted?"

Ma Qing: "In the old community, many places are dead ends, and I probably can't find anything after checking."

Wei Yang: "On the way back, forensic doctor Huang called me and told me that the deceased may have had sex with someone before his death."

Someone questioned: "The test results are so fast?"

Wei Yang: "Judging by experience, but I can trust Lao Huang. Ma Qing, go and check the life trajectory and interpersonal relationship of the deceased before his death, and check the marriage and emotional status of the deceased."

"Tell me the results." Jiang Siyan got up and was about to leave, "I'll go and have a look elsewhere."

"You can call me 24 hours a day." Wei Yang warned, usually when there is a case, he is free to Jiang Siyan, as long as he can contact someone.

The next day, Ma Qing found a suspicious person through Yang Meijing's mobile phone call records. After verification, he found that this person was a good friend of the deceased's husband, named Shi Huashang.The two have been in frequent contact in the past week.And this week was the time when Yang Meijing's husband was on a business trip, so Wei Yang concluded that there was something wrong with him.

After some questioning, Shi Huashang admitted the extramarital affair with Yang Meijing, but not the murder, and produced his alibi for that night.He and Yang Meijing returned home after staying in the hotel for several hours. When the incident happened, he and his wife went to a private club for massage.The owner and staff of the club have testified to it.

The case was at an impasse.

Ma Qing sorted through the documents with a headache, "Do you think Yang Meijing's husband really doesn't know?"

Wei Yang: "I probably don't know. His reaction to my question just now doesn't seem like a lie."

Jiang Siyan: "But it doesn't seem like he's very angry, he just acted very surprised."

Wei Yang: "Indeed."

Jiang Siyan thought for a moment: "Xiao Ma checks out her husband's relationship."

Wei Yang: "Do you have someone you suspect?"

Jiang Siyan smiled and shook his head: "No, I have no clue, let's check."

After checking it out, Ma Qing said sarcastically: "Why don't you think the man is angry? The guy who dares to love is also raising a mistress outside, and the two play their own things, and each other."

Jiang Siyan remained silent, thoughtful. Yang Meijing looked at his expression at the last moment, with a bitter smile but no complaints, which is really strange.

Coincidentally, Wei Yang walked in, holding the autopsy report in his hand: "The forensic doctor identified that he did have sex/behavior during his lifetime, and the wounds of the deceased belonged to others, and the cause of death was injury to organs and excessive blood loss. This is not commit suicide together."

"Who killed him? And why did the dead laugh?" Someone asked, this is the most difficult thing for everyone to understand, but being killed by someone is smiling, it can't be justified.

Jiang Siyan suddenly said, "What if she is protecting the person who killed her?"

Wei Yang hesitated: "What do you mean? She is covering for the murderer?"

Ma Qing was puzzled: "Cover the person who killed him? Why?"

Jiang Siyan: "Because that person is more important to her than her life."

Ma Qing: "Who could it be?"

Jiang Siyan: "In the hearts of most parents, children are more important than anything else, especially mothers, in order to protect their children, they can disregard their own lives."

Ma Qing stared: "Mother killing? The child is only a teenager and a junior high school student. It's impossible. Besides, what reason does the child have to kill his mother!"

Jiang Siyan: "Check the whereabouts of Yang Meijing's son in the past few days. I can't be sure whether the child killed his mother on purpose, but I can probably think of a reason."

Ma Qing: "What?"

Jiang Siyan: "He probably knew about his mother's cheating, and he couldn't forgive him."

Yesterday he visited the community where Yang Meijing lived and interviewed the residents of the community.Some of them mentioned the family's son, who is good at studying and has a high IQ, but he is a little sensitive and not very talkative.

After investigation, the police determined that Yang Meijing's son, Shen Xu, was not at school at the time of the incident, and his whereabouts were unknown without an alibi.

Shen Xu was taken back to the police station. The young child was interrogated for the first time, and he confessed not long after.He said that he found out about his mother's cheating, and he couldn't understand his mother's disloyalty to marriage and betrayal of his father.

When he left the campus that day, he accidentally saw Yang Meijing and his familiar uncle entering the hotel.He went home and questioned Yang Meijing, and there was a fierce quarrel. In a moment of excitement, he picked up the knife on the cutting board and stabbed the other party.Because he was too scared, he dropped the knife and went back to school overnight, pretending nothing happened and continuing to school.

The case was solved, as fast as usual.

There was a saying in the police station: Brother Yan made a move, the murderer must be there.

Jiang Siyan looked at the bewildered expression on Shen Xu's face when he was being escorted. He suddenly understood Yang Meijing's last words. This was her choice. She chose to protect her son, so she cleaned up all the traces and pretended to commit suicide by herself. Died in the bathroom.Yang Meijing may not be a good wife, but at the end of her life she still wants to be a good mother who protects her children.

The embarrassing truth and the open marriage of the parents finally turned the child who didn't know the truth into a murderer, and what awaits Shen Xu will be the trial of the law.

Ma Qing looked at Shen Xu with some distress, a teenager who became a murderer due to family reasons, "What do you think the judge will do?"

Jiang Siyan: "He has reached the age of 14, which is the age of relative criminal responsibility."

Ma Qing: "You said if he knew that his father had also cheated, would he regret it?"

Wei Yang walked right behind the two of them, picked up the notebook in his hand and tapped Ma Qing on the head: "This is none of our business, it's useless not to worry about it."

"Captain." Ma Qing rubbed his head aggrievedly.

Wei Yang turned his head to Jiang Siyan and said, "Zhang Ju is looking for you."

Jiang Siyan: "What do you want from me?"

Wei Yang exhaled: "It's a big deal, you'll know when you go."

"Oh."

After Jiang Siyan left, Ma Qing asked, "Captain, what is the chief looking for from Brother Yan?"

Wei Yang: "You said brother is going to be promoted."

Ma Qing was stunned: "Huh?"

Wei Yang smiled, he knew a long time ago that Jiang Siyan's ability was too inferior to stay in the district.As the saying goes, a small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha, so Jiang Siyan's departure is inevitable.

Jiang Siyan came to the door of the director's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Jiang Siyan pushed the door open and entered.

Zhang Linhui was sitting on a chair, beckoning: "Little Jiang, come and sit."

Jiang Siyan sat on the vacant seat in front of the bureau's desk: "Director, what's the matter?"

Zhang Linhui: "Your transfer order has been issued, and the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will transfer you there."

Jiang Siyan had a bitter face: "Can you not go? I feel very comfortable staying here."

Zhang Linhui made a serious face: "Nonsense! There are orders from above, you have to obey."

Jiang Siyan asked reluctantly: "No need to discuss?"

"No." Zhang Linhui changed his expression and said reluctantly: "I also hope you stay. After all, your ability to solve crimes is obvious to all. In the past few years in the Eastern District, you have been ranked first in the city in solving crimes, and you have been rated as excellent every year. I don't know how many times I've been praised. But there's no way, the higher ups transferred you this time because of an important reason."

"what reason?"

"Eyeless mermaid, have you heard?"
