shadow of crime

locker room.

Cheng Yechi stood in front of Jiang Bei, the beam of the strong flashlight scratched his skin inch by inch.He tilted his head slightly, his thick eyelashes fluttered, and the light from the end of his eyes became obvious.

After Jiang Bei checked the front, he said: "The socks are also taken off, turn around."

"Good sir."

The locker room is not big, but three people are stuffed.Jiang Bei's behavior was illegal, and Lin An couldn't understand what he was thinking, but at the scene, Lin An's heart was broken, and he couldn't see it.

He covered his eyes and pretended to be dead, stood like a sculpture, and said in his heart, "It's none of my business, I didn't see anything, I was just pulled by the boss as a backstop."

Cheng Ye turned around obediently, he didn't mind showing his body. The only regret was that his back was turned to Jiang Bei, so he couldn't see Jiang Bei's sharp eyes running over his skin.

Jiang Bei looked carefully, trying to find a small wound on this impersonally white body, so as to confirm his thoughts.However, the other party's honey-like skin was clean, not to mention wounds, not even scars.

He frowned: "Didn't you learn martial arts in college?"

"Do you have to be injured to learn fighting? Can't I beat everyone very powerfully? Do you have many scars on your body?" Cheng Ye turned around, "Is the inspection done? Can I wear clothes? It's a bit cold."

Jiang Bei raised his hand, signaling him to put on his clothes.

Cheng Ye moved very slowly. He picked up the clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles before putting them on: "Then can I leave today? To be honest, it's my birthday and I have to go out for dinner tonight. Do you want to come together, sir?"

He had a lot of questions, and every sentence was asking, but his tone was not very kind.

"No," Jiang Bei said, "you can go."

Cheng Ye supported the locker room door: "Say happy birthday to me."

Jiang Bei stared at him with a cold expression: "Don't get drunk, you won't be so lucky next time. Besides, if you come to work tomorrow, you are still suspected of being with me. Until the truth comes out, you'd better stay under my nose under the house."

Cheng Ye smiled, his eyes curved into round arcs: "Okay."

After all, he pushed open the door and walked straight away.

Lin An's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.Jiang Bei glanced at him and said, "You have been in the bureau for four or five years, and you haven't checked the suspect's wounds?"

"I checked... checked," Lin An stammered, rubbing the tip of his nose, "I just haven't seen him like this. He slept in the dormitory for four years in college, right? He looks like a little girl." He He bumped into Jiang Bei's shoulder, "Brother Jiang, there are a lot of people running errands now, why don't you give me a blind date."

"I didn't ask him to run errands," Jiang Bei looked at the direction Cheng Ye left, "You keep an eye on him."

-

That night.

Cheng Ye first went back to the apartment he rented, took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, took a mobile phone, took a taxi, and hurried to the hot pot restaurant that he had made an appointment with a friend.

There is a red lantern hanging above the store door, and there are customers with equal signs sitting under it.The friend told him that the seat had been reserved, so he reported the seat number to the waiter, and the waiter led him to the private room.

The shop was noisy, and there was a spicy smell of red oil, which aroused the appetite.My friend had already ordered dishes, the copper pot was bubbling, and there were two beers on the floor.

"Aye," Liu Tianyu greeted him, "Come on, I'll be waiting for you!" He pulled Cheng Ye to sit down, with a worried face on his face, "I didn't trouble you last time, did I? Who knew someone died upstairs? The tall policeman dragged me to ask questions, and I can’t remember what happened that night, so I can only say that you went home a long time ago.”

Cheng Ye picked up a glass of beer, thought for a while, and then put it down: "I didn't kill the person, so what's the trouble? Waiter! Bring me a big bottle of soy milk!"

Liu Tianyu was taken aback: "You don't drink?"

"Go to work tomorrow, don't drink. I have to restore my image in the mind of the chief."

Liu Tianyu felt guilty because of the previous incident, and he didn't force it: "Okay, I spent a lot of money today to buy your favorite drink, Roosevelt, so you should eat more vegetables. Today is your birthday, and I ordered it for you. A cake, it is estimated that it will arrive in a while."

Roosevelt had great stamina, and Liu Tianyu felt that it should not be wasted, so he raised his head and blew a few bottles, but the cake fell down before it came.Cheng Ye ate hot and spicy beef, dipped it in oil and sent it to the mouth, finally soothed his stomach that hadn't eaten meat for a whole week.

Liu Tianyu's mobile phone on the table was ringing, and the caller ID was a fast food takeaway.Seeing that he was not awake, Cheng Ye answered the phone.

The other party said: "Mr. Cheng's cake, please come out and get it. Your location is wrong. I followed the navigation to the alley, but I didn't see the sign of the hot pot restaurant."

The other party was obviously not familiar with this area, so Cheng Ye didn't make things difficult for him, but just asked: "Which alley? What's around you?"

There was a rustle in the receiver, as if looking for the way, and after a while, he said: "There is a toilet, and there is a smell of hot pot in the toilet."

"wait for me."

Cheng Ye wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards the toilet.The toilet and kitchen of this store have opened a door to the alley, which is said to be able to disperse the smell.The alley is cramped and narrow, and the garbage that the back kitchen has no time to clean up is piled up here, and the smell is so bad in winter that it can't get rid of it at all.

"here."

Cheng Ye followed the sound and saw that the delivery man was leaning on the faucet of the battery car, his face was blurred by the bright car lights.

The delivery man stretched his long legs, took out a small and delicate cake from the delivery box on the back seat, and handed it to Cheng Ye.

He stepped out of the headlights, and the outline gradually became clear. The warm yellow light of the hot pot restaurant hit his face, fainting his smile.

The phone in Cheng Ye's hand fell to the ground with a "crack", splashing sewage.He didn't take the cake, and the eyes of the always beautiful and attractive fox were full of horror at this moment, and he looked at the person with a distorted expression.

"you……"

"Hush—" the delivery man put his index finger on his lips, and looked at Cheng Ye curiously, "You are so beautiful, happy birthday kid."

Cheng Ye suddenly woke up, snapping his knuckles, the little fox showed its sharp claws, and waved it with a strange smile...

-

Liu Tianyu woke up and found that Cheng Ye was gone, so he fell down and went looking for him.The waiter saw his posture as if he was about to fall into the pot in a second, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but was stopped by a pair of big soft hands.

"Let me do it."

"Ah Ye!" Liu Tianyu got drunk, saw Cheng Ye came back and rushed to hug him, the waiter saw this, and silently retreated.

"Aye, Aye," Liu Tianyu swayed Cheng Ye from side to side, "Where did you go? I thought you were taken away again."

Cheng Ye let him hold him, pointed at the cake, and said, "I'm going to get the cake, please help me light the candles, I'm going to make a wish."

Insert 23 candles. Fill the cake and light it one by one.Cheng Ye closed his eyes, put his palms together in front of his chest, and made a devout birthday wish.

-

The next day, City Council, meeting room.

The death scenes of the five victims scrolled on the screen in turn. The interns who had just joined the bureau were "ordered" to listen in. Several girls couldn't bear the shock and vomited into the toilet while covering their mouths.

The people in front left, and Cheng Ye sat in the first row, holding his notebook and taking notes carefully, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose from time to time.

"The homes of the first four victims have been inspected repeatedly, and the surveillance around them is similar. However, because the victim's residential area is an old residential area in the [-]s, the public security management is lacking, and there is not much useful information collected. Clues," Jiang Bei's eyes fell on Cheng Ye who was opposite, and the other party smiled back, Jiang Bei quickly retracted his eyes and continued the topic just now.

"Now there is a fifth victim. The victim Li Zhenzhen lives in Xingyuan Community, which belongs to a high-end community. Before Li Zhenzhen was murdered, it is very likely that she had sex with the murderer. The forensic doctor continued to follow up. Li Zhenzhen was the only one who had an intimate relationship with the murderer. Those who come into contact with him should try their best to extract the murderer's DNA from Li Zhenzhen's body."

The forensic doctor nodded.

The Serial Murder Bureau attaches great importance to it. It is not only related to the reputation of the city bureau, but also to the safety of the people.However, all senior senior citizens were all very energetic at the moment, trying to find out the flaws, and only Cheng Ye raised his hand to raise his objection.

"Well... how can we determine that the murderer had sex with Li Zhenzhen?" Cheng Ye's gold-rimmed glasses shone faintly under the incandescent light, "Maybe the murderer just wanted to create the illusion that he had sex with Li Zhenzhen, In this way, the police will think that the murderer stayed in Li Zhenzhen's house for the longest time, the criminal investigation team will lead the trace inspection department to focus on checking the house, and the forensic doctor will spend a lot of time looking at a dead body over and over again. During this period, the murderer may Find another target, he just wants to delay the police. For such a psychopath, it is impossible to use normal people's thinking to analyze."

Jiang Bei put down the laser pointer and put his arms on the edge of the table: "That's why I said 'maybe'."

"Oh." Cheng Ye showed a "you continue" expression.

The word half itchy and not painful popped out, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Lin An had seen Jiang Bei carrying Cheng Ye to the locker room yesterday and making people undress. He was afraid that Cheng Ye would reveal this in front of the elders, and he would suffer as a bystander. So busy smoothing things over:

"We thought about this. All the victims came out of the Sun Welfare Institute. For this reason, we went to the head of the house. After investigation, we have determined the addresses of the people who came out of the Welfare Institute, and sent people to protect them secretly. "

After finishing speaking, Lin An looked at Jiang Bei, waiting for praise.However, Jiang Bei didn't give him a glance. He just flipped through the case book and said, "The age group of the victims is concentrated between 20 and 25 years old, and they are single. According to this calculation, our interns should have seen the victims when they were young."

Cheng Ye supported his palm with one hand, thinking about it, and quickly realized: "Yes, I also came out of the Sun Welfare Institute. I am 23 years old and single. I fully meet the criteria for a murderer's selection."

He hooked Jiang Bei with his eyes: "Captain Jiang, don't you send someone to protect me?"

Jiang Bei turned sideways, avoiding his gaze: "Lin An will stare at you."

Lin An raised his forehead, what does staring mean, that means protecting!

"Okay," Jiang Bei packed up his things, "Lin An, take your things and follow me to the scene of the crime, and ask some people from Lao Wang's place. And you, Cheng Ye, go too."
