traces of all things

"Mom! Let go of my mother! Ahhh!"

"Woo——————!"

The sound of children crying, their mouths covered and whining and weeping came from the depths of the field. The yellow crop debris was kicked into the air, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

A boy with a small body bravely rushed over, but there was a sharp pain in his forehead, and he fell to the ground with stars in his eyes.

It's cold on the head and cold on the body.

The air was passing by little by little, and a strange halo of red and green flashed in front of my eyes, and entered the instant darkness after a few seconds.

"call!--"

Suddenly, a young man sat up on the big bed covered with simple gray striped sheets.

The young man propped his hands behind his back, his chest heaving violently. The huge amount of information in the dream made his temples throb. He closed his eyes for a while and thought about it for a while. In the black leather-bound notebook on the small cabinet, he picked up the fountain pen on the side and began to write eagerly on a new page.

"straw"

what else?

The tip of the pen stayed at the end of the last stroke of the word "stalk", the chest heaved, the trembling of the fingertips became more and more intense, and finally left a big ink blob, which was dark and ugly.

The man stared at the two slightly scribbled characters for a few seconds, and slowly drew a question mark.

The sky was already bright, it was midsummer at this time, the sun was long, and the light coming through the blinds showed that it should be five or six o'clock now.

The person on the bed covered his face with his hands, rubbed his temples, and sat quietly for a while.

Drowsy was gone, Lu Zheng simply tore off the thin quilt that was entangled around his waist and got out of bed, dragged the slippers by the bed and swayed into the bathroom, and accidentally kicked a broken cardboard box away.

This is an old-fashioned small one-bedroom apartment. It can be seen that the young man who lives here must have just moved in. There are many cardboard boxes piled up in a mess on the floor, stuffed with various books, papers and daily necessities.Fortunately, there wasn't much furniture in the room, so it didn't look too crowded.In addition to the table and chairs in the living room and a small basket nailed to the wall, the big things are mainly concentrated in this bedroom, a bed, an old wardrobe, and an old electric fan.

Looking around, the shabby air is coming.

This poor gentleman broke into the bathroom all the way through the mountains. This bathroom is also very small, without windows. There is a round mirror hanging on the sink. In the mirror, there is a figure with a short cut, red lips and white teeth. It's pretty dog-like.

Lu Zheng stared blankly at the mirror for a while, then gently raised his hand, and touched a scar on his left forehead.

Too much time has passed, and in a few months, the scar will be on his forehead for a full 25 years.Now the scar has become much shallower, almost invisible, but at that time the wound was too deep, and there was no timely treatment, so you can still feel the uneven surface when you touch it with your fingers.

"Alas..." He suddenly sighed, took off the towel from the shelf and entered the shower room.

After taking a shower, Lu Zheng dried his hair, put on a pair of big underpants, stood shirtless by the window and looked down.

There are already people coming and going on the small street. The grandpas and aunts who wake up early and do morning exercises happily greet each other. On the side of the road, there are pancakes and fried dumplings, steamed deep-fried dough sticks, and white steam. scene.

The scent of the pancake stall downstairs slowly wafted up. The pancake seller quickly pushed the batter with a bamboo stick. Lu Zheng watched the pancake gradually take shape, and his restless heart was miraculously soothed.

"Uncle Zhou! Bring me a set of four pancakes, add more crispiness!"

The old man who was spreading the cake made an "ok" sign to Lu Zheng by the window on the second floor without looking up.

Province A is located in the northern part of Huaguo. The geographical location is quite complicated. There is a coastline in the east, a border in the north, and borders on many other provinces in the southwest. In winter, there is heavy snowfall, and in summer, it is stuffy and hot like a sauna. It is really not a good idea. place of residence.Fortunately, the provincial capital is a famous gourmet capital, and there are a lot of delicious food here, so that Lu Zheng, an older bachelor who can only cook dried noodles, can stay at ease. Since he was transferred from Yuqian City, his family has not yet opened Fire once.

Seeing that Uncle Zhou had turned the cake, Lu Zheng slipped on a vest, took the keys and went downstairs.

"Take it, you will have strength to go to work when you are full!"

Seeing Lu Zheng running down the stairs, Uncle Zhou downstairs, the wrinkles on his face turned into chrysanthemums, he raised his hand and threw over a bulging plastic bag.

Lu Zheng didn't mind the oil, so he untied it and saw, heh, the pancake fruit was filled with crispy egg lettuce and grilled chicken. It was the most luxurious nine-yuan set meal at Lao Zhou's stall.

"Uncle Zhou, don't you want to introduce my granddaughter to me?"

"piss off!"

The uncle made a gesture to hit him, but Lu Zheng laughed and ran away, turning his head while running: "Don't look for it, beat me more next time!"

"What a monkey." Lao Zhou took off his gloves and touched the front of the stall, and pulled out a ten-yuan bill stuck in the crack of the wooden board.

"Oh, silly boy." The uncle shook his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Really, why don't I have a granddaughter?"

Except for the people doing morning exercises, the guy who posted the small advertisement really got up early enough. In just a short while, a pink leaflet was stuffed in the crack of the anti-theft door of Lu Zheng's small apartment. The other two on the first floor are waving in the wind together, like three small flags.

Lu Zheng unscrewed the door lock, picked up the advertisement paper that fell on the ground and glanced at it. There were many beauties with their heads upright, and the words "Create your perfect face with meticulous care" were printed on it.

He couldn't help but shook his head and threw the small advertisement on the table.The ad was printed on coated paper, thick enough to cover the oily plastic bag of pancakes, saving him from wiping the table.

There was a crisp "click", and the hot water that was boiling before going out was already bubbling.Lu Zheng rinsed a huge tea mug next to the sink, tore open a pack of Maxwell, looked at the second pack hesitantly, and threw away the small pack like a strong man broke his wrist. go back.

Public Security Bureau of Province A, at [-]:[-] in the morning.

The designated arrival time in the hall is 08:30, and there are already some people walking around in the corridors one after another.

On the ochre-red marble stairs on the east side of the building, the non-slip metal strips printed with "Province A Public Security Bureau" are a bit old, and the people who are going upstairs at this time make a creaking sound under the slow trampling.

Tang Shaoyuan was walking upstairs with his pockets in his pockets and two steps at a time with his long legs.The office of the Criminal Technology Team [-] of the special case team is on the fourth floor. It was very hot early this morning. After weighing it up, he resolutely gave up squeezing the elevator with a bunch of sweaty old men.

Panting, he climbed up to the corner of the third floor. Lao Geng, the head of the technical team, had his office on this floor. Lao Geng would send his daughter to school in the morning.But what is strange is that there is a figure leaning against the handrail in the corridor outside the door, the light blue summer uniform is tucked into the uniform trousers, and the belt is tightened to make it look smoother.

Tang Shaoyuan frowned slightly, rolled his eyeballs, and glanced over.

Holding the file bag in his hand, he was standing at Lao Geng's door again—Suddenly, Tang Shaoyuan felt blessed, and it seemed that this eighth achievement was the trace inspection expert transferred from Yuqian City, the newly appointed special case team Chief, his future boss.

The new team leader in the corridor changed his posture and leaned on the armrest. Tang Shaoyuan could see that he was crushing a small piece of biscuit and piled it into a small cluster on the edge of the flower bed hanging outside the corridor.

The two fat birds that always appear in the corridor on the third floor, usually frightened and fly into the sky when they see Lao Geng, are now standing obediently on the edge of the flower bed, pecking at the biscuit crumbs, and making cheerful chirping sounds from time to time .

The little chubby bird is very cute, and he turned his head and pecked Lu Zheng's finger, which made him laugh out loud. He turned his head slightly to the side of the stairs, and most of his face was exposed to Tang Shaoyuan's sight Li - a baby face with a short cut head and a small dimple on one cheek.

Tang Shaoyuan, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, opened his eyes wide in an instant.

"The offices of our technical team are all on the fourth floor."

The speaker had a dark face with Chinese characters, a thick body, and looked dignified. He was the captain of the Criminal Technology Brigade of the Provincial Department and a well-known interrogation expert in the province, Geng Zhizhong.

"In addition to supporting the special case teams that appear on the scene in the local area, the team also has specialized laboratories such as cultural inspection and physics and chemistry. If you need to go directly to the fifth floor to find them. One group has the most appearances in the special case team. Now Including Xiaolu, you have a total of three people, but I usually follow."

Lu Zheng had just chatted in Geng Zhizhong's office for a while, when Geng Zhizhong called "Xiaolu" familiarly, and "Xiaolu" called him.

Speaking of this, the two of them had already walked to the door of an office with a signboard of a group of special cases. Geng Zhizhong didn't even knock on the door, and pushed the door openly.

"Nobita, Xiao Tang, come and meet our new team leader, Lu Zheng."

After the door was pushed open, the first person who appeared in front of Lu Zheng was a young man with a face that looked like a runaway cartoon—the head was round, the eyes were also round, and the nose was also round. The shape of the mouth is exactly like a stuffed pie with several onion rings of different sizes placed on it. Except for the lack of a pair of glasses, it really looks a bit like Nobita Nobita in the cartoon.

"Hello, team leader." Wei Xiongfeng scratched his head, looking quite simple and honest: "I am Wei Xiongfeng, the criminal photographer in the team."

"Nobita?" Lu Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and raised a fist at him: "From now on, we will have to share weal and woe."

There is nothing wrong with what you say. When the trace inspection engineer shows up on the scene, the photographer must accompany him all the way. These two people are the vanguard of ordinary criminal cases, and they are always the first to rush into the scene to open the way.

Some people's words are born with a special contagious force. For some reason, Wei Xiongfeng's blood was agitated, and he clenched his small round hand and punched Lu Zheng: "Don't worry, team leader! I have a bite of meat." , I will never let you drink soup!"

Lu Zheng laughed out loud, thinking that this new kid was a bit amusing.

"This is our team's forensic doctor, Tang Shaoyuan. Hey little Tang, don't be shy, come and meet the new team leader."

Here Wei Xiongfeng was still showing his loyalty, while Geng Zhizhong waved at a tall young man over there.

Only then did Lu Zheng cast his gaze behind Wei Xiongfeng.

This Tang Shaoyuan forensic doctor, Lu Zheng has actually heard of it a little bit. He is young, highly educated, and a rare returnee. He entered the provincial department as soon as he graduated. His scientific research has flourished. The paper on trace DNA detection has been praised many times by the public security system, and it is also a rising star in the system.

Unlike Tang Shaoyuan, who is a winner in life and has an elite route, Lu Zheng is a pure grassroots counterattack faction. As soon as he graduated, he was assigned to the Yuqian City Public Security Bureau in the border area with the most cases in the province. Yuqian City has a backward economy and strong folk customs. It's tough, the security is poor, and the police force is not enough.Over the past eight years, Lu Zheng has worked hard, not to mention that the detection rate of homicide cases has reached [-]%, and he has also cracked a pile of backlogged cases along the way.How can the Provincial Department let this kind of talent go, after Lu Zheng spent a lot of effort to clean up the entire Yuqian City, he was immediately summoned to the provincial capital.

No matter how much Tang Shaoyuan is the proud son of heaven, he has suffered from his young age, at this moment he can only be wronged and wronged to be Lu Zheng's younger brother.

Lu Zheng rarely came into contact with this kind of scientific research talent, so he couldn't help but look at it with a little curiosity.

Tall, with white skin, thin eyes, and a high nose bridge, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with slightly curly hair, well-styled, a neatly pressed shirt pinned neatly to his trousers, and leather shoes on his feet. Polished.

Wow, what a neat piece of fresh meat.

"I have admired your name for a long time, Xiao Tang Forensic Doctor!" Lu Zheng held out his hand to Tang Shaoyuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "I am Lu Zheng, please give me advice in the future."

"Hello, team leader." Tang Shaoyuan tried his best to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart and held the slender hand in front of him. The moment his skin touched, there seemed to be a warm current flowing from the palm of his hand to his whole body.

The eyes were swollen and a little sore.

The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

Looking at the person holding his hand in front of him, Lu Zheng was a little confused for a moment: "Xiao Tang? Shao Yuan?"

Tang Shaoyuan was shocked, and let go of his hand as if he had suddenly realized.

"Sorry." He looked a little annoyed.

"It's okay." Lu Zheng felt that the returnee boy was much more introverted than he thought, so he couldn't help comforting him: "Don't be so introverted."

Tang Shaoyuan nodded, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "Can I ask the name of the team leader...how is it written?"

"The road of the road. The clank and the iron bones." Lu Zheng laughed after hearing this: "Many people miss it, but remember, it's not the land of that land."

"It turned out to be the road of the road."

Tang Shaoyuan repeated it in a low voice, with a strange tone in his voice, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Lu Zheng, with some inexplicable expectation in his expression: "Is the team leader from the Criminal Police Academy? I also studied in the Criminal Police Academy before, and in the future... I can call you Brother?"

Huh?Didn't you say that Tang Shaoyuan is a returnee?

Did you study your undergraduate degree in China?

Lu Zheng didn't want to understand, but he nodded in agreement.

Completely forgotten at the side is Geng Zhizhong, who also graduated from the Criminal Police Academy: ...

On the other side is Wei Xiongfeng, who graduated from Public Security University, but knows Tang Shaoyuan's resume clearly:

...Brother, didn't you just study in the Criminal Police Academy for two weeks last year, what kind of education do you count? !
