I come from the abyss

The curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on. It was midday, and the living room was dim. The small vertical air conditioner was working hard to cool the room, and the indoor temperature was kept at 22 degrees Celsius.

Li Zan was lying cross-legged on the beanbag sofa to watch the video. The beanbag sofa was bought by Jiang Heng from Taobao. After placing the order, Li Zan hated it. As a result, the beanbag sofa has become Li Zan’s since the night of the delivery. Exclusive location.

Jiang Heng put the keys on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes, walked inside, then squeezed into the beanbag sofa, with his arms across Li Zan's back and leaned over to watch the video: "What are you watching?"

Li Zan moved his butt to make room for Jiang Heng: "Video."

The video is showing the scene where the groom confesses to the bride, the provocative music is played in a loop, the host obviously has memorized the script, and the emotions are getting fuller and more passionate, successfully making the bride and groom and their parents cry.

Jiang Heng pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I see."

Li Zan didn't take his eyes off the screen, and asked casually, "What do you know?"

Jiang Heng asked, "Have you ever worn a suit?"

Li Zan: "Through it. I used to be involved in a dinner party during the investigation, and I was not allowed to enter without wearing a suit. I rented one temporarily, and I almost got angry."

Jiang Heng embraced Li Zan, measured Li Zan's shoulders, back, arms and waist with both hands, kissed his hair and said: "Suits need to be tailor-made to be comfortable to wear. I will order a suit later. Put it on." Let's meet Ms. Liang together later? Ms. Liang likes gentlemen in suits very much."

Hearing this, Li Zan was finally willing to look away from the video, turned to Jiang Heng, looked at Jiang Heng for a long time, and said: "I remember that when I saw you, my first impression was a gentle scum, pretending to be someone who just came from a banquet. The gentleman who comes out of the house will help her lift the skirt, open the door, and even kiss the fingertips when she is parting with a lady."

Jiang Heng: "Boyfriend, even if you compliment me with only two words, you don't need to add too many modifiers."

Li Zan looked at Jiang Heng, and said lightly, "Because I want to block your way ahead of time, boyfriend."

The man in front of him was proud and arrogant at this moment, like a dazzling peacock.And he spread his tail in front of Jiang Heng, and his beautiful tail feathers were trembling because of Jiang Heng, and he poured all his pride into his tail feathers.

Realizing this, Jiang Heng's heart was burning hot, and his chin rested on Li Zan's shoulder. The warm breath he sprayed fell on Li Zan's neck, and small particles suddenly floated up on that naked and sensitive skin.

Jiang Heng smiled, and first kissed Li Zan's shoulders and collarbone, all the way up, nibbling Li Zan's chin lightly, and then tossing and turning, until Li Zan couldn't stand it anymore, he lowered his head and sent a lip-to-lip kiss .

Jiang Heng laughed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's because you are too slow." Li Zan kissed her.

The extra nonsense was swallowed between the intertwined lips and teeth, and they communicated with each other for a few minutes. After they separated, their breathing was obviously heavier.

Wiping his lips with his thumb, Li Zan said, "It's not broken at all." He glanced at Jiang Heng, who had black hair and fair skin, red lips and white teeth, as if he had captured all the extremely strong colors in the world and accumulated them on his deep facial features , when staring at it, it seems to have a sex appeal that makes people want to die.

Li Zan gasped for breath, looked away in a panic, subconsciously touched the mouse and shook it a few times, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Jiang Heng's two arms were across Li Zan's chest and back, holding him tightly in his arms. If the lazy sofa was not too small, he might have stretched his legs over, hoping to tightly encircle him. Lee team.

Li Zan didn't push Jiang Heng away, and let him lean on him.

"I'm handling a case, don't harass me." He whispered this sentence, which had no deterrent effect.

"A case? It's not about the wedding." Jiang Heng was slightly disappointed.

Li Zan glanced at him: "Where did you think just now?"

"No—I didn't think about anything." Jiang Heng denied, holding Li Zan's shoulder and urging him: "You do your own thing, I see mine, divide the work, and don't bother each other." That's what he said, but after Indeed, Li Zan was no longer distracted.

Hugging people is easy to get angry, so Jiang Heng paid attention to the video that was being played. The video reached the climax of the wedding, and the photographer shot the bride and groom face-to-face, and the entire computer screen was filled with two enlarged faces.

Jiang Heng, who was originally absent-minded, suddenly stopped his gaze, and said to Li Zan, "Wait—pause the playback."

Li Zan paused the playback and looked at Jiang Heng: "What?"

Jiang Heng took a closer look and asked, "Is there any shot of the groom and the bride who are farther away but can clearly see the contours of their faces?"

Li Zan pressed the play button, rewinded, and immediately paused the frontal shot of the bride and groom, and pushed it to Jiang Heng: "What did you find?"

Jiang Heng recognized the faces of the bride and groom, "They look familiar."

Li Zan: "Perhaps you have met me at the beach."

"No, I've seen them without makeup, a newly married couple at the elevator entrance of Building C of Simen Village." Jiang Heng said: "I met this newlywed couple at noon today, although the video showed He wore heavy makeup, but the height and facial contours did not change much."

"That's a coincidence. But, how did you go to Simen Village?"

"Get someone to check something."

Li Zan responded without further questioning, and continued to watch the video. In the video, the bride's eyes were red from crying, and her makeup was a little messy. She was taken off the stage to touch up her makeup. Let the makeup artist team enter the mirror.

Li Zan quickly freezes and zooms in on the picture. In the picture, four or five makeup artists are either squatting or standing around the bride.

The master makeup artist who is touching up the bride's makeup is a woman, and behind her is a male makeup artist assistant holding a mirror and a powder box.Behind the bride are two other makeup artist assistants, a man and a woman, who are busy arranging the bride's veil and applying powder to the bride's shoulders and back.The last makeup artist assistant is far away, with his back to the camera, squatting in front of the bride, gently holding up the diamond-encrusted wedding dress.

Li Zan cut off the picture and put it in PS for the second processing. He took each makeup artist's headshot and processed the resolution to improve the clarity of the headshot. He was going to send it to Ji Chengling for him to take the black car that had witnessed the murderer's face for interrogation. driver.

Li Zan found it difficult when he caught the makeup artist assistant holding the wedding dress with his back to the camera because he couldn't see his face.

"There should be a positive face in the mirror." Jiang Heng, who was watching silently, reminded him aloud.

Li Zan: "Where is it?"

"Before he took the mirror, the mirror was placed at his feet, and the angle should be just enough to reflect his face." Jiang Heng took the mouse and clicked on the video to point at the male makeup artist holding the mirror, and then began to turn it upside down for two or three seconds , accurately intercepted and enlarged the picture, the mouse arrow landed on the mirror at the foot of the male makeup artist, and the mirror clearly reflected the makeup artist assistant with his back to the camera and holding a wedding dress, "It's a man. He put on makeup, and his facial features are very harmonious. Wearing female makeup or heavy makeup should be very effective."

He took a screenshot of the face of the make-up artist in the mirror and put it into the PS software. He quickly tapped the keyboard with his ten fingers, and with a few easy operations, he improved the clarity of the photo to the point where even the facial features and micro-expressions can be easily analyzed.

Jiang Heng pushed the laptop back to Li Zan's thigh, and commented on the micro-expression of the makeup artist holding the wedding dress: "I thought he was the owner of the wedding dress without looking at the background."

Li Zan was thoughtful: "It's really strange. He was holding the wedding dress because he was afraid of getting dust on the skirt and being stepped on by others. He cherished this wedding dress very much. As soon as the bride sat down, the first thing the other makeup artists rushed over was to repair it. Makeup and hair, because this is their responsibility. Only him, the attention is on the wedding dress, and he holds the skirt of the wedding dress in his arms, for fear of being torn and trampled dirty. "

If you don't look at the expression of the make-up artist, maybe you can use the reason of 'the wedding dress is expensive, and the bride asks the make-up artist to hold the skirt' to explain it.Coincidentally, the angled mirror showed the expression of the makeup artist bowing her head and hugging the wedding dress.Even more coincidentally, this scene was captured by a flashing camera.

"Is he envious?"

"Perhaps jealousy."

"Treasure the wedding dress, envy the owner of the wedding dress, jealous of the bride owning the wedding dress, he likes the wedding dress, he also wants to wear the wedding dress. He is a transvestite and suffers from gender identity disorder, so it makes sense why he Dress up and kill."

"This wedding dress is haute couture."

Li Zan: "So?"

Jiang Heng: "As a make-up artist assistant, he may have been exposed to many high-end dresses, but he has no chance to try on them alone or touch them at close range." He is not sure because he has less information than the police He is comprehensive with Li Zan, so what follows is his personal guess: "Haute-couture dresses are expensive, and they usually have advanced security protection. Some people will install alarms and trackers on the wardrobe and every haute-couture dress."

"Once stolen, call the police immediately."

"The newlyweds live in the community of Simen Village. There is no surveillance camera installed at the door. There may be an empty room next door. There is a family of five on the opposite side. However, only the elderly and children are at home during the day, and there are no young people. When it’s oily, the parents of both parties won’t bother you. The wedding dress is so beautiful, wouldn’t it be too bad to wear it only once in a lifetime? Will the bride bring it back to the new home to look at or wear it from time to time? If the wedding dress is in the new home, the second generation of the building will Will the newlyweds think about setting up advanced security to protect their wedding dress?"

"No. They didn't expect anyone to covet a wedding dress."

"You and I can think of possibilities, do you think the makeup artist can think of them?"

***

Sunday at five o'clock.

Simen Village.

On the right side of the 11th floor of Building C, a man wearing a duck tongue is opening the door. A large bunch of keys rattle. The three-bedroom apartment on the left is the old Duan’s house. When the old Duan came home from work, he heard the keys jingle and voted suspiciously. eyes.

Seeing that it was a strange figure, he didn't think much about it, because the two two-bedroom apartments on the opposite side had been rented out, and he changed neighbors several times a year. He was used to strange tenants appearing from time to time.

'Click', the door opened.

When the old Duan entered the house, when he closed the door, he was still thinking about the tenant who had arrived before him but hadn't opened the door yet.He was changing shoes in the entrance, and heard his mother on the balcony complaining: "Did some animal die in the rented house next door? The corpse was left in the house and not cleaned up! This smell! Old Duan, you go back and contact the landlord and let him One day I have time to come to check and check, it really stinks!"

Lao Duan shook the newspaper and responded perfunctorily.

Old Duan Da'er went into the room to look for Man Yue's son, and didn't care much about his mother's complaints, because there was a similar case where the tenant next door moved out but did not take away the domestic hamster.

The hamster was starved to death, and the body was stinking, and the stench permeated the air, which was very unpleasant.

Before entering the house, he casually mentioned: "Dad, has there been a new tenant next door?"

Old Duan: "It's a new tenant."

"Oh." Sure enough, it was a new tenant.

The master key that was assigned secretly didn't work. Fortunately, the newlyweds had just moved here and had no time to change the door locks, so they still used the old-fashioned door locks.He happened to be able to open this kind of old-fashioned door lock, as long as the combination of hard cards and frosted paper can easily open the door.

'Click', the lock is unlocked.

He opened the door, took off his shoes, put plastic bags on his feet, put white plastic gloves on his hands, and tiptoed in.He wandered the living room, satisfaction and envy welling up inside him.

Satisfied that the structure of the house is satisfactory, but unfortunately the decoration is not very good, and there is still a bad smell in the room. If he lived here, he would definitely be able to take better care of the house.

He thought of the protagonists of that beach wedding, a pair of second-generation second-generation buildings who were reborn lucky, who have so much without the ability!

How enviable.

He quietly unscrewed the bedroom door, slipped in, opened the closet, and there seemed to be dazzling and dreamy white light pouring out in front of his eyes. The haute couture wedding dress was inlaid with hundreds of diamonds, as gorgeous as shining stars, as if the Milky Way was within reach .

"It's so beautiful..."

Shi Wan came back in the afternoon and had a rough fight with her husband. He slept until dark and went out to the toilet urgently. After draining the water, he came out yawning. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the door of the second bedroom opened and a light leaked out.

She froze for a moment, wondering if her parents had come here secretly?Didn't they know about their mischief in the afternoon?

Shi Wan was so embarrassed that her toes could dig into the Forbidden City. She hesitated for a while, then stepped forward to open the door quietly, but just as she was about to speak, she saw a strange woman wearing her high-end wedding dress standing in front of the mirror in the closet, posing.

The anger that his beloved wedding dress was worn by a strange woman made Shi Wan dazzled, and immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you?! Take off my wedding dress!!"

The woman turned her head abruptly, seeing a face that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"You..." Shi Wan was in a daze, as if she had seen this face before.Shaking his head, Shi Wan realized that this person was a thief, so he shouted loudly: "Husband——"

The pupils of 'her' constricted, the adrenaline surged, and the pupils were filled with blood. She grabbed a hard object and rushed over quickly.

Shi Wan's last sight before losing consciousness was a beautiful but distorted face filled with incomparable anger and jealousy, holding the stone statue of bestowing a son bought by her parents in her hand, lifting it up high, and falling heavily——Bang!

The blood spread.

Criminal Investigation Office of Dongcheng Branch.

The hair collected in the car where Ge Xiangdi's body was found has been inspected for traces, and the report has come out. Wang opened it and read it immediately after getting it.

Lao Zeng pushed the swivel chair over and asked, "What result?"

Wang: "A total of 8 different DNAs were collected, and no biological gene was detected in one of them, because it is a chemical fiber used to make wigs."

Lao Zeng: "Then this is probably the murderer's wig!!"

At the same time, Ji Chengling received the picture sent by Li Zan. After pondering for a while, he called Chen Jie to Ning'an District, found the black car driver who was attacked earlier this year, and asked him if he knew the makeup artist in the picture.

Because of the different makeup, the driver didn't recognize him. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it. And the person who attacked me was a woman."

Chen Jie rolled up her sleeves and said, "Send me the picture, and I'll do it."

Ji Chengling sent the picture to Chen Jie, and Chen Jie imported it into the Meitu software to confirm the driver's opinion and modify it until the driver slapped his thigh and screamed: "It's her! I won't admit my mistake!!"

Ji Chengling's face was serious: "Are you sure?"

Driver: "I'm absolutely sure!! She's pretty, so I'm very impressed, and she killed me, she tried to kill me, how could I not remember the appearance of the murderer? As I said, as long as she appears in the In front of me, I 100% recognize it!!"

Ji Chengling looked at the picture: "After P, I feel like two different people. Is it possible that they are actually two different people?"

Chen Jie shook the phone: "Don't worry, I didn't change his face shape or facial features, but just added shadows and highlights to him, which is equivalent to simple makeup and a long hair hairstyle."

"Then," Ji Chengling said, "the face and identity of the murderer who killed Ge Xiangdi can be determined."
