I come from the abyss

The Luogangshan puddle is surrounded by a yellow warning tape, and the distance is full of onlookers and reporters who heard the news.

The trace inspection of the Beitian District Bureau is taking pictures and collecting evidence. The forensic doctor has carried away the body, and the field police are searching and collecting evidence within 200 meters of the crime scene.

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Beitian District Bureau is conducting routine interviews with Luo Jiajia, the first witness of the murder.

Luo Jiajia: "I often come here for morning jogging, and I live nearby. I am familiar with the mountain roads of Luogang Mountain. The law and order have always been good, and I will not be afraid... I did not expect that there would be a dead body. I, I was really terrified gone."

Liao Huaiyi, head of the criminal investigation team of the Beitian District Bureau, asked, "Do you come for a morning jog every day?"

"Yes—no, no, I haven't been here for the past two weeks. I went on a business trip last week, and it rained all the way last week, so I ran on the treadmill at home. Today is the first time in half a month."

Liao Huaiyi: "No suspicious person found?"

Luo Jiajia thought for a while, then shook her head: "No."

Liao Huaiyi: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Luo Jiajia shook her head and said yes, and was helped by a psychiatrist to do some psychological counseling.

The criminal police comrades next to him came over and said: "The deceased was a female. The cause of death is unknown, and her age and identity are unknown. The body was burned, and it was highly corrupted and partially carbonized. The only evidence at the scene related to the murder was a white plastic gasoline can. There is no obvious sign on the gasoline barrel, and it can be easily purchased online, so there are not many clues left.”

"Except for the traces made by Luo Jiajia, there are no other traces at the scene."

"Police are evacuating the crowd, trying not to disrupt the scene. But—"

Liao Huaiyi knew what his unfinished words meant. He looked back at the pit where the dead leaves had been scooped up and the water was drained. Beside the pit was a white plastic gasoline barrel that had been preserved as physical evidence.

Recalling that in the past half month, Yuejiang City has been raining almost every day, and the rain has washed away all traces.

He couldn't help but have a headache.

This case is not easy to solve.

February 2.tear up

Li Zan tore off the page of the calendar that said February 2th, put on his coat and went out, took the elevator to the parking lot and pressed the car key twice.Then he drove out of the parking lot to leave Chunbulao Community, and asked for leave from the bureau on the way.

Chen Jie asked: "Today is Monday! Boss, do you have the nerve to ask for leave?"

Li Zan: "It's a lifelong event. Are you sorry?"

Chen Jie was shocked: My cp—be! !

Lao Zeng took back the microphone and said to Li Zan, "Are you going on a blind date?"

Li Zan thought of Ms. Liang Mei's repeated urging, and wanted the monkey who jumped out of nowhere to occupy half of his bachelor's apartment, so he felt that it was not bad for a blind date.

He replied vaguely: "Almost."

Lao Zeng was very relieved: "At your age, it's time to consider getting married and having children."

Lao Zeng, who is almost forty and still single, has the nerve to talk about others?Li Zan thought so, then hung up the phone and drove back to his parents' home.

As soon as Lao Zeng hung up the phone, he turned around and dialed to report the happy event to Bureau Tong.When Tong Ju heard this, he was so happy that he even wanted to iron his wife's bra.

Tong Ju's wife: "What are you so happy about?"

Tong Ju said: "That kid Li Zan asked for leave to go on a blind date!"

Tong Ju's wife: "Happy event!"

Turning around, she went to tell her old sister, "That kid Li Zan has a successful blind date."

They are all police wives, and people in the same circle have basically known each other for more than ten years.The police wives are from the same country, so naturally their husbands are all colleagues. They have fought side by side for more than ten years without looking up and seeing down. They are old friends who are almost like relatives.

It just so happened that Li Zan was the one they grew up with, and his marriage was equal to their son's marriage.

The news spreads ten times ten times, until the director of the city bureau who will retire in half a month? In Sun Bureau's ears, it becomes: Li Zan's big blind date partner's belly is about to get married!

Even the number of wine tables to be placed and which area and hotel to set up were discussed, which shows how terrifying the power of three people becoming a tiger is.

Li Zan didn't know how big a tornado his vague words caused, and he arrived at his parents' house.

When he opened the door and saw that the living room was full of gifts, he guessed that the son of Ms. Liang Mei's old sister whom she hadn't seen for many years had arrived early. Li Zan put the car keys on the shoe cabinet, put on slippers and lay down on the sofa in the living room.

You can't tell what's inside the gift bag in front of you, but Li Zan happens to know a few of the big names.

It seems that this friend is very rich.

About two months ago, Ms. Liang Mei asked him to go home to receive her old sister's son, but the old sister's son happened to catch a plane and left.

It took two months to go away, and the Lantern Festival passed directly. Li Zan was relieved and thought that he didn't have to share the apartment.

Unexpectedly, people still tried their best to take the time to show respect.

Just as he was thinking about something, he heard a slightly familiar man's voice from the kitchen: "With my aunt's cooking skills, I can open a small shop alone. I'm sure there are no empty seats in the shop, because normal people know what to buy."

There was a light breeze in his voice, and the tone and words of praise were both objective and true, without any false or exaggerated compliments, which was enough to make any woman smile, and he had the same feeling for him. closeness and appreciation.

Sure enough, the next moment Ms. Liang Mei couldn't suppress her joyful tone: "How can my cooking skills be so good? Don't be too honest. You are handsome, good-natured, and have such a solid heart! You are young! That's what you're supposed to be. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Not yet. Having a girlfriend is a lifelong event, so you need to be more cautious."

Ms. Liang Mei's appreciation has overflowed, she said: "Good boy, take responsibility!"

Li Zan almost spit out the coolness in his mouth, he thought that this person's face was too thick.

As soon as he heard that reply, he knew that he was a beast in clothes who was used to wearing skins. Poor Ms. Liang Mei was so bewildered that she almost recognized her son.

When Ms. Liang Mei saw the head protruding from the sofa, she immediately said, "My son is back. Come here quickly, Jiang Heng. I'll introduce you two."

Jiang Heng stepped out of the kitchen and looked up. He met Li Zan who was smiling but not smiling. He smiled, "No need, we know each other."

Li Zan: "The son of the old sister?"

Jiang Heng: "Coincidence."

Li Zan felt that this was a weird coincidence.

Ms. Liang Mei was surprised: "Are you friends?"

Jiang Heng: "It's a friend." He looked at Li Zan: "Right? A friend."

Li Zan responded casually. Ms. Liang Mei met Li Zan when she learned that Jiang Heng came to Yuejiang City on the first day.

Li Zan snorted inwardly, listening to him bragging.

Ms. Liang Mei clapped her hands together suddenly, her eyes were shining brightly: "Fate! It's fate!! Jiang Heng came to Yuejiang City in a hurry and there is no place to live, right? Our Xiao Zan lives in a single apartment, so you go and live with him!"

"I object!" Li Zan immediately said, "He has a place to live. At worst, there is a hotel. At worst, I will pay for it."

Jiang Heng felt that Li Zan, who was very resistant, was quite interesting. When he returned home, he seemed to have removed his adult armor and became relaxed and lively, especially when he glanced over with a sword undisguised.

he felt...

It's more vivid.

Jiang Heng: "Auntie, it's fine if Li Zan disagrees. I'm fine. Although the hotel is cold and not as warm as home, I'm used to it."

Hearing this, Ms. Liang Mei, who was a little shaken, immediately made a decision: "You will live with Li Zan tonight!"

Li Zan couldn't believe it: "Since he wants the warmth of a home, he might as well live with you."

Ms. Liang Mei: "In two days, your father and I will go to Hong Kong to meet my old sister, and Xiaocheng is the only one at home—"

"No more, I agree."

After the family dinner, Li Xiancheng invited Li Zan to her school to participate in the Honorary Alumni Association, and said that she was awarded the Outstanding Youth Student Association and came to the stage to accept the award.

Li Zan: "You just want to find a reason for Zhong Xueru to go."

Li Xiancheng chuckled: "Brother, please."

Li Zan put his hands in his pockets and walked away without turning his head. Li Xiancheng was still thanking him loudly behind him.When he went to the parking lot and opened the door, he found that Jiang Heng got into the co-pilot after him.

Li Zan examined Jiang Heng: "Have you checked beforehand?"

"I checked." Jiang Heng generously admitted: "But I didn't find you. According to the information, Aunt Liang only has one daughter. I didn't expect such a coincidence."

Li Zan held the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator: "Just don't make trouble." He didn't intend to explain Jiang Heng's doubts, but started another topic: "I live in a single apartment, one bedroom and one living room for one person. There is a folding bed in the living room You can sleep on the sofa and the sofa. Bathtubs and toilets are also allowed on the balcony, but you are not allowed to enter the bedroom.”

Jiang Heng: "I accept."

Hearing this, Li Zan looked up at Jiang Heng in the rearview mirror, and didn't quite understand why he would rather share a one-person apartment with him than go to a hotel since he was rich.

Li Zan asked out the doubts in his heart, he suspected that Jiang Heng approached deliberately.

Jiang Heng looked out the car window, and after a long silence, he said, "Because your resistance is so beautiful."

Li Zan: "??"

Jiang Heng: "The more Captain Li resists, the more excited I am, so I really want to fight against you." He looked into the rearview mirror to meet Li Zan's eyes, and said gently: "If you are unhappy, I will be happy. "

Li Zan: "..."

Doggy! ! !

Li Zan's single apartment on the 15th floor of Building F in Chunbulao Community.

Before Jiang Heng went in, he was mentally prepared. He thought he would see a cold and chaotic apartment, but he didn't expect it to be quite clean and tidy.

The living room has a coffee table and a sofa, and the kitchen is opened to make it open, and there is an office area with a relatively large space next to it.In addition, a straight navy blue police uniform hung on the wall.

Having said that, he seemed to have never seen Li Zan in police uniform.

Li Zan threw a bunch of keys to Jiang Heng: "Buy personal items by yourself, I don't have a double share here."

Jiang Heng took the key, walked around the apartment, and found that there was a sense of life inside.

There are also a lot of succulents planted on the balcony, and there is a cabinet in the office area.The cabinet is full of awards, trophies and medals, basically the honors obtained after becoming a criminal policeman.

As small as the district, as large as the city and province, there is also a title of the National Top [-] Criminal Police and other badges of honor.

The badges and trophies in the cabinet quietly emit a shimmering golden light, silent and heavy, as if silently stating the glorious glory that their owners once had.

That was Li Zan's past.

Li Zan took out two bottles of ice water, gave one to Jiang Heng, and unscrewed the other to drink.While drinking, he glanced at the glass cabinet, and glanced at it without any emotion: "Not all of them are mine."

He stopped by the sofa and asked, "How long do you live?"

Jiang Heng thought for a while, and answered honestly: "I haven't thought about it." Seeing Li Zan's eyes were cold, he added: "But it won't be long. There are some minor problems that need to be resolved before, and it won't take too long."

Li Zan threw the empty bottle into the special recycle bag, picked up the car keys and said as he walked, "Up to two weeks. When the time is up, take the initiative to ask friends. I'll go back to the game, and you can do what you want."

After saying that, the door closed, and his figure disappeared.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng in the room just smiled and put down the mineral water in his hand.The ten fingers of both hands are loosely clasped together, and the posture is relaxed as if they are in their own territory.

He was wondering what kind of person Li Zan was, and he always felt that this person seemed to be more and more lively and interesting.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Li Zan reported to the bureau. Chen Jie and Ji Chengling had a fierce quarrel about an old case.Wang was bored playing with codes, while Lao Zeng drank tea, listened to operas and worked slowly.

Anyway, as soon as the intricate murder case ended, the rhythm of the branch quickly entered the state of retirement.

It's no wonder that even if the situation is cleared, the peers still can't completely change the negative impression of them.

As soon as Lao Zeng saw Li Zan coming in, he wanted to turn off the radio and return it to him, but the result was so smooth that he was transferred to the column group of 'People's Livelihood First'.There was no time to change the channel, the radio was in a stable frequency state like one or two coughs, and then the reporter reported with a straight voice.

"... At 07:30 this morning, a woman's charred corpse was found in a puddle deep in Luogang Mountain, Beitian District. The police are now involved in the investigation."

The murder report immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Chen Jie and Ji Chengling stopped arguing and looked up.

Ji Chengling: "Female charred corpse?"

"Work in Beitian District." Chen Jie's focus quickly shifted: "I heard that the reporter of the People's Livelihood First column team seems to have changed, isn't it Zhao Yanli?"

With that said, the report ends.The name of the reporter reported after the end was indeed not Zhao Yanli.

Ji Chengling: "Last time in the dismemberment case, she followed up the cliché and secretly took pictures, and directly grasped the first-line news. Later, even the People's Daily online media reposted her report. Then she must have been promoted."

Chen Jie: "She made random speculations in many reports. If the boss hadn't asked me to deliberately guide her in time, I don't know what she would have been said to be."

"Don't worry." Lao Zeng said at this time: "If she is promoted to a print media or a TV station, she will definitely cause trouble with her subjective and distorted reports."

"If you're transferred to the online media, you'll be like ducks in water." Li Zan used his mobile phone to search for news about the Luogangshan murder case in Beitian District, and read it several times: "This murder case is tricky."

Chen Jie was curious: "How to say?"

Ji Chengling: "What do you see?"

Li Zan: "Luogang Mountain is undeveloped, sparsely populated, and there is no monitoring. There are many paths up the mountain, and one of the intersections connects to an expressway. Usually, the traffic volume is very heavy. It is unrealistic to rely solely on exclusion. "

"Also, it has been raining in Yuejiang City for half a month. The weather forecast is especially heavy on Luogang Mountain in Beitian District, and all the evidence has been washed away by the rain. After the murderer throws the body, he will definitely destroy it Therefore, the scorched corpse that was found should not be able to prove her identity."

"The charred corpses were burned, and their faces were difficult to identify, which made it more difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased."

Ji Chengling: "The identity of the deceased can be determined by investigating the missing persons records."

"It's as simple as that." Li Zan stretched his waist and said, "None of us can be sure that the crime scene is in Beitian District. If the crime scene is in other districts, just checking the suspicious missing person records in the entire Yuejiang City Big project. One more hypothesis—”

"What if the deceased did not file a missing person?"
