Dangerous Personality

"The knife wound on the dead man in the church was very strange. It was not a crime of passion. The autopsy report showed that the cut surface of the wound was very smooth, which is abnormal. It means that when the man cut the knife, the speed was almost uniform."

"So, killing people doesn't feel at all to him."

In the conference room, the three groups of people were packed to the brim.

Each is responsible for a different part, and they are speaking in turn.

The criminal policeman in charge of merging the cases said: "According to Shen Xinghe's statement, this person is no older than 30 years old, and his height is between 179-182—"

Shen Xinghe was the only one among all the instigated assailants who had paid attention to "Father".

The No. [-] student in the school, who was supposed to be sent directly to a prestigious school, suddenly said when he was being interrogated: "I know his height."

The handwriting in the detective's hand paused, and he asked in disbelief: "At that time, he was sitting behind you. You said you didn't look back and the church was so dark. How did you know his height?"

The boy sitting opposite was wearing a prison uniform, with cold shackles on his hands.

Shen Xinghe said: "There are candles in the church."

"...?"

"Although the church is very dark, there are candles," Shen Xinghe repeated, "it is the candles that reveal his height."

Having said that, the criminal police reacted.

is shadow.

No matter how dark the place is, as long as there is a little light, there will be shadows.

The candlelight elongated the shadow of "Father". At that time, Shen Xinghe and "Father" were both sitting. Based on the comparison of the lengths of their shadows, it was possible to infer the height difference between the two.

Even at the moment when Shen Xinghe was bewitched, he did not forget to observe these things.

Although the kid named Li Kang had seen "Father", Li Kang only said that he was tall and thin, and that he was a tall and thin big brother. The kid couldn't tell exactly how tall and thin he was.

After all, in the child's world, anyone who can make him look up is considered tall, but there is no way to explain this height with data.

1.7 meters is considered high for him, and 1.8 meters is even more so.

Although the feature of height sounds ordinary, knowing the murderer's height is only a trivial detail, and they still have to continue to search for a needle in a haystack in the vast sea of ​​people, but this detail gave them the confidence to pursue it.

Sitting in the conference room, Chi Qing looked very dissociated.

The man took off his coat, leaving only a thin black sweater on his body, which made his skin pale and cold, and his eyes were covered by his long black hair.He didn't participate in the discussion, and most of the time he just listened silently, with pens between his fingers, his eyes downcast, and no one dared to initiate a conversation with him.

When Xie Lin was there, he could barely hold him down, took him to participate in the discussion, introduced his name to the newly joined two groups, and politely reminded the other party to stay away from this consultant surnamed Chi, because he is a clean freak.

In fact, there was no need for Xie Lin to remind them, and they were not very willing to get close to this consultant who seemed too gloomy.

Someone quietly mentioned him to Ji Mingrui: "I heard that you are friends?"

Ji Mingrui: "Ang, what's the matter."

"Have you known each other for many years?"

Ji Mingrui, a close friend who has been "confidant" for many years, replied: "It has been many years. We have known each other since we were in school."

The man whispered, "He must be quite difficult to get along with."

Ji Mingrui thought for a while, then nodded: "Indeed."

"..."

Chi Qing, who was difficult to get along with, listened to the reports of the three groups, put down his pen, got up and went out, and stood in the corridor for a while.He stood for a while, just in time to meet Xie Lin walking from the other end of the corridor.

The two stood at both ends, and Xie Lin was standing in a dark corner. When he approached Chi Qing, he saw a dark brown file bag in his hand.

Chi Qing took a look: "Information?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Lin didn't say much, just said: "Well, there is an old case from before. I want to confirm some details. It may be related to this case."

"Why are you standing here alone?" Xie Lin stood calmly at the vent to shield him from the wind, and said, "Isn't it cold?"

Unknowingly, Chi Qing understood Jie Lin to a certain extent.

He can't read anyone without mind reading.

But Jielin has always been an accident.

Chi Qing confirmed that something was wrong with Xie Lin almost immediately.

But he didn't press on.

Xie Lin will tell him what he wants to say, and if he doesn't want to say it, there must be a reason why he doesn't want to say it.

He just put his hand into the pocket of Jie Lin's coat and said coldly, "It's cold."

Chi Qing often didn't realize how "acting like a baby" his behavior was.

So Xie Lin changed the file to the other hand, and the free hand took him along the way: "If you wear so little, you'll freeze to death."

Chi Qing didn't explore too much.

Xie Lin was not at the headquarters in the afternoon, so he drove over to pick him up in the evening, but after returning home at night, Chi Qing accidentally saw the file spread out on the table after taking a shower, and saw his name on the yellowed file.

The word "Chi Qing" is extremely neatly written.

Chi Qing paused when she wiped her hair.

He also saw the photo that he didn't remember when he took it. It was him ten years ago, and his facial features were still very immature.He turned over a page of the file, and saw Xie Lin's name on the last page.

There is no doubt - this is the dossier of the kidnapping case back then.

It was the first time he had seen a photo of Xie Lin ten years ago. In the photo, the boy was wearing a school uniform, impossibly clean. He looked at the camera casually.

——He is a former consultant of the Criminal Police Corps, Xie Lin.

——When he first participated in handling the case, he was still in school.

……

Hearing these words before, Chi Qing always had no idea.

But at this moment, through this photo, Chi Qing seems to be looking at the "Jie Lin" from ten years ago.

The sound of water in the bathroom didn't stop, and Xie Lin was still taking a shower.

Chi Qing wanted to turn the file back, but he saw an extremely tiny mark on the last page, which was a small concave dot that was inadvertently marked with a ballpoint pen during the review.

The tip of the ballpoint pen touched the name of one of the criminal policemen who participated in the case. That was the criminal policeman who was in charge of handling the case with Xie Feng back then, and his name was Guo Xingchang.And what's strange is that the file shows that he left the job within a few months after he came back that day.

In fact, Chi Qing didn't deliberately think about these details, but just like breathing, a series of logical chains naturally emerged in his mind.

Xie Lin is investigating this person?

Did he go to him during the day?

And it is said that it is related to the case that is currently being investigated.

What will it matter?

Or……

What did Xie Lin find on the 13th floor that night?

The sky outside the window changed at some point, and there was a "boom", and then raindrops fell from the black clouds.

"boom--"

The rain continued until the next day, and the road conditions were not very good. The car hummed continuously, and then there was a "boom" on the road when the sky was foggy and just lighted up. This time it was the sound of a car scratching.

"How do you drive?"

On the road, a car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and then a woman in her thirties got out of the car holding an umbrella. She walked to another car and knocked on the window: "Get out of the car, how did you drive?" car--?"

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car was a middle-aged man. There was an obvious knife wound on his hand on the steering wheel, and the knife wound snaked out from the sleeve of the sweater.

The middle-aged man picked up the umbrella from the co-pilot and got out of the car, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"You don't have to tell me if there is anything else," the woman obviously didn't want to spend more time here due to the bad weather, she was afraid that this man would act foolishly, so she dialed '110' vigorously, "I called the police, and the police will come right away deal with."

the other side.

Ji Mingrui went to 1301 again early in the morning. When he received the police mission, he hurriedly took the elevator downstairs. When the elevator descended halfway, he met Chi Qing.

Man standing outside the elevator, wearing gloves and holding a transparent umbrella.

Ji Mingrui was stunned: "You don't need to go to the headquarters today, why are you leaving so early?"

Chi Qing looked up at him, and said as a matter of course: "The weather is good, go out for a walk."

Ji Mingrui: "..."

Only his brother could say such a thing to the pouring rain outside.

Ji Mingrui looked behind him again: "Where is Consultant Xie?"

Chi Qing: "I went out early in the morning."

When Chi Qing said that there was something wrong with Xie Lin, Ji Mingrui didn't feel anything, but at this moment he had a faint feeling that something was going to happen. After all, a couple who had been inseparable all day suddenly started to be alone, which didn't seem right. .

However, Ji Mingrui thought that there should be some private space between people, and there is no need to get tired of being together all day.

He thought a lot in just a few seconds, and finally concluded by himself: Many people will lose their original social life when they fall in love. He can't let his good brother be alienated from him. Qingduo communicated and exchanged brotherhood.

In summing up, he forgot that his brother had no social life either.

So Ji Mingrui warmly invited: "Something happened on the Ring Expressway, a car rear-ended, why don't you come over with me and have a look?"

Normally, Chi Qing would definitely refuse, but it rained heavily today, so he was in a good mood: "That's fine."

The incident happened very close to the community where Chi Qing lived, and the car arrived at the destination quickly.

"What's going on," Ji Mingrui braved the rain and pushed open the door to get out of the car, "You, and you, show me your ID card."

Chi Qing didn't get out of the car, he sat in the car and looked at the street scene through the window.

The streetlights were blurred by the rain, and the sound of the pattering rain was like a symphony. Chi Qing put his hands in black gloves on his knees, and tapped lightly with the sound of the rain.

He shifted his gaze a little, and saw the middle-aged man standing beside him.

Although the middle-aged man looks ordinary, he stands upright, with a knife wound on his hand and a thick callus on his tiger's mouth.

Chi Qing casually thought that this might be a retired soldier.

Outside the car window, Ji Mingrui took the certificate and casually read the name on the certificate: "Guo...Guo Xingchang?"

Hearing this name, Chi Qing's fingers stopped.

"Hey."

"what happened?"

"No drunk driving," Guo Xingchang said, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and my eyes were dazzled by the taillights of the car."

Ji Mingrui didn't think there was anything wrong with the name. After reading it, he understood the situation. Guo Xingchang had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes and was also happy to solve the matter, so he turned to the lady and said, "Give her a chance to speak next time, Can't this be coordinated? In a civilized society, everyone is a reasonable person..."

While talking, Guo Xingchang saw the door of the police car next to him open from the corner of his eye.

Then a pair of rain-stained military boots came into view. Looking up, he saw a man wearing black gloves and holding a transparent umbrella in his hand. The umbrella tilted slightly downwards, covering his face.

"It's more than reasonable." The man's voice was a little cold, "Mr. Guo was also a criminal policeman before, so he should be very familiar with how to deal with it."
