misplaced survival

"Okay, I'm not leaving." Song Zhou sat beside Jiang Xiyan's bed, patting him on the back like coaxing a child.

Jiang Xiyan lifted his eyelids slightly, his breath was terribly hot with fever, Song Zhou could feel it, because...

"Song Zhou..." Jiang Xiyan was dizzy and always felt that Song Zhou in front of him would still leave. He was unwilling to just hold Song Zhou's hand, and he boldly embraced Song Zhou, hanging on He refused to let go no matter what.

He raised his head slightly, the tip of his nose brushed against Song Zhou's chin, "Song Zhou..."

Song Zhou's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and his already wavering mind was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to do something, but he couldn't take advantage of others' danger, so he could only pretend to be calm and support Jiang Xiyan's back, worrying that he would fall to the ground. on the ground.

"I had a dream just now. I dreamed that I went back to ten years ago. No one saved me. What happened in these ten years is just a dream. Song Zhou, do you really exist?" Jiang Xiyan asked His hand wanted to touch Song Zhou in front of him, but he was afraid of the worst answer.

Song Zhou took the initiative to hold Jiang Xiyan's hand, and said in a low voice, "What answer do you want?"

"I hope..." Jiang Xiyan looked up at Song Zhou, the two of them were very close, yet seemed to be separated by something.

Song Zhou restrained his own thoughts and did not do anything excessive. Jiang Xiyan's voice became weaker and weaker, and Song Zhou didn't hear what was said at all, so he gently carried him back to the bed and put him down.

But Jiang Xiyan still refused to let go of his hand, Song Zhou sighed helplessly, "Little ancestor, I really owe you."

He couldn't walk away, and it wasn't suitable for him to lie on Jiang Xiyan's bed, so he could only lean against the bed and fall into a light sleep.

The alarm clock rang on time, Jiang Xiyan touched the head of the bed, trying to turn off the ringer, but found something else.

He was very puzzled, opened his hazy eyes and looked towards the bed, and saw Song Zhou sitting on the side of his bed, and his hand was holding Song Zhou's hand all the time, what he just touched was Song Zhou's... thigh.

Memories of last night flooded into his mind, Jiang Xiyan gasped, and looked at Song Zhou in embarrassment, he was really burned out last night, what did he do!

"Are you awake?" Song Zhou looked at Jiang Xiyan and asked softly, "Let me touch your forehead to see if your fever has subsided."

Jiang Xiyan shrank his neck, "I'm conscious, I should have retreated."

"It's good to withdraw, but after breakfast, it's better to drink another pack of medicine." Song Zhou said, looking at his wrist, and said with a smile, "My hand is numb, why don't you let me move around? hold?"

Jiang Xiyan immediately withdrew his hand, "I'm sorry."

"Don't feel sorry." You can pull if you want.

Song Zhou didn't say the second half of the sentence, and rubbed his sore wrists and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Song Zhou's back, recalling what Professor Xu said last night, Song Zhou seemed to treat him differently from others.

So Song Zhou cared about him, right?

"I'll go to the office first, and you'll come to my place for breakfast later." Song Zhou said, changed out of his pajamas, and prepared to go out.

"Song Zhou." Jiang Xiyan sat on the bed, struggled for a long time, but couldn't help asking, "I have a question to ask you, soon."

Song Zhou stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xiyan, "Ask."

"Song Zhou, do you have someone you like?" Jiang Xiyan could feel his voice trembling slightly when he said this, and he stared at Song Zhou, waiting for his answer.

Song Zhou was stopped by Jiang Xiyan's sudden question, then he looked at Jiang Xiyan, gave a meaningful low laugh, and walked towards him slowly, "Yes. But I was afraid of being rejected, so I kept waiting."

Jiang Xiyan felt his heart beating faster and faster, and his ears were hotter than when he had a fever. He asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Song Zhou leaned over to look at Jiang Xiyan, and said seriously, "I'm afraid that the other party is not mentally prepared, and I'm afraid that he doesn't know what it means to be with me. together, so I need him to think clearly and be mentally prepared."

He was worried that Jiang Xiyan would take his gratitude for saving his life as liking, and if he regretted being with him after he decided to be with him, it would be Jiang Xiyan who would suffer.

Song Zhou saw the hesitation in Jiang Xiyan's eyes, and promised: "As long as he is willing to take a step forward, I will leave the rest to me."

He is an extremely stubborn person, unwilling to give up until he reaches his goal, and the same is true when facing feelings.

Jiang Xiyan's lips were slightly flattened, and he was seriously thinking about what Song Zhou said just now. He was not a fool, and he could tell that there was something in Song Zhou's words, and he was waiting for him to express his opinion.

"I……"

He had been looking forward to it for a long time, but when Song Zhou asked, he didn't know how to answer.

It was impossible for him to refuse Song Zhou, and he didn't answer right away because he was not as thoughtful as Song Zhou thought, considering the future.

He admitted that he once thought about Song Zhou, but after confirming that he liked it, he didn't think about it and dared not think about it.

Since Song Zhou mentioned it, he had to think about it.

Faced with the common perception of the world, the possibility of opposition from his family, and his personal acceptance, is he really ready?

Song Zhou rubbed Jiang Xiyan's hair who was sitting blankly on the bed, "Don't rush to answer, you should think carefully. Get up and wash up first, the team has something to do today, come to the office to find me later."

Jiang Xiyan nodded slightly, thinking about these questions very seriously.

He was sure of his thoughts, hesitating, he was just thinking about a solution to the problem, looked at the direction Song Zhou was leaving, and murmured softly, "I'll think about it again, I won't make you wait too long."

Tao Yiran went upstairs with several bags of breakfast and put them on the table by the office door, "Come on, let's have breakfast!"

Gao Mang took a bun and gnawed it, "According to the gossip, the cafeteria is about to be renovated, and in two days we can sit and wait for the cafeteria to feed it!"

"Although we are also being fed by the captain now, but every day when it's meal time, we have a choice phobia." Xin Ying said, eating a deep-fried dough stick.

"By the way, where's the captain?" Tao Yiran glanced into the captain's office. Team Song usually comes early, why is there no one there today.

Song Zhou: "What do you want me to do?"

He walked into the office slowly and looked at Tao Yiran.

"It's okay!" Tao Yiran quickly waved his hands, and he immediately noticed the bruises in the captain's eyes, "Captain, did you work overtime last night?"

How could he remember that when he went back to the dormitory last night, he saw the captain go back?

Song Zhou pursed his lips and didn't say much, "Of course, after you and Gao Mang have breakfast, find out the files of the two cases of Yi Xin and Zhang Wei, and move them to the conference room. a meeting."

"Okay!" Tao Yiran nodded heavily with the bun in his mouth.

Shen Shu stared at Song Zhou meaningfully. Lao Song didn't take it with him in the office last night, but it looked like he hadn't slept all night. Maybe he already made a move?

"Dirty thoughts." Seeing Shen Shu's expression, Xu Zhishen complained in a low voice.

"I call this a reasonable guess." After correcting Shen Shu, he took a bite of the steamed bun.

Seeing Xu Zhishen's serious face, but if he was really innocent, how could he have thought of what was going on in his mind at this moment.

Just as Xu Zhishen was about to refute, he saw Jiang Xiyan walking into the office with a pale face and sloppy footsteps. He fell silent for a moment, drinking breakfast milk silently.

Look no further.

Seeing Jiang Xiyan enter the door, Song Zhou pointed to the breakfast on the table, "Eat first, then drink medicine, and there will be a meeting later, if you really can't bear it, ask me for leave."

Now their goal is to find Yan Yu, so it is particularly important to find out the death of the two heads of the casino.

He loves Xi Yan's body, but due to the particularity of their occupations, it is impossible for him to be selfish, and he believes that Xi Yan is not such a person.

"Don't worry about me, the case is more important." Jiang Xiyan said.

Although he was still a little guilty about what happened in the morning, when he arrived at the police station building, the conversation should be serious.

Hearing this, Song Zhou's eyebrows and eyes slightly frowned, and then he recovered his seriousness and said, "You should have investigated the composition of the Yaoming Group before, and what we're going to talk about later is the case of the two responsible persons."

"Is it the case of Yi Xin and Zhang Wei? I heard about it." Jiang Xiyan replied.

The main development direction of Yao Ming Group is daily entertainment, hotels, catering, and clubs are all important industries.

Previously, He Youming and Guan Haowen were in charge of clubs and hotels, while Yi Xin and Zhang Wei were the executives of Yao Ming Group in the catering industry.

When he was working in the Municipal Bureau, he had paid attention to these sections, but the evidence he had was not enough, and the private investigation violated the regulations after all, so he could only continue to collect information and dare not act rashly.

"During the meeting, let's revisit the progress of the case so far, and discuss how to investigate next." Song Zhou said, speeding up his breakfast.

Jiang Xiyan's illness just happened, he didn't have much appetite, so he just took a few mouthfuls to deal with it.

The two of them finished their breakfast hastily, and walked into the meeting room one after the other.

It didn't take long for the rest of the team to arrive.

"Okay, let's start then." Song Zhou scanned everyone to make sure everyone was ready, so he said, "On December 12 last year, the police received a report that someone went to the toilet and found a large pool of blood on the ground, but the door was closed It was locked and could not be opened from the outside. So the reporter climbed up from the next compartment and found Yi Xin sitting on the toilet covered in blood."

Lin Yue continued: "When the police arrived at the hotel's underground restaurant, they found nothing unusual. The restaurant guests all said they didn't know what happened just now. Then the investigators took evidence samples from the crime scene."

Seeing that the words were thrown at him, Bai Ya handed Jiang Xiyan a backup file and opened the folder in front of him.

"Because the door bolt of the toilet has to be locked from the inside, this case can be regarded as a murder case in a semi-closed room. But we have done a lot of such cases before, and most of them are the murderer who hooked the door bolt with a thread and pulled it from the outside. Yes. In addition, the door of the toilet is special, and there is no cover up and down, so it is easier to operate."

This technique has been used in many film and television works and animation animations, and it is not uncommon.

For criminal investigators like them, the simpler the case, the easier it is to solve, but such tactics have appeared many times, and it is not a good thing to learn more people.

Jiang Xiyan looked at the photos in the file, "The bottom edge of the wooden door of the compartment is slightly worn, and it seems that it was indeed tied with a rope, but the fiber of the rope was not found in the physical evidence before, it should be a smooth material such as fishing line .”

Bai Ya nodded, confirming that what Jiang Xi said was correct, and continued: "It's not just wear and tear, there are a lot of kicking footprints on the outer door of the compartment. According to the size 44 shoe prints on the door, the person who kicked the door should be a man. .”

He said, stood up and pasted a photo on the whiteboard, explaining: "We found the deceased's handprints on the door panel, side, and behind the door, corresponding to the height position, and speculated that the deceased should have actively opened his compartment before his death It is very likely that the murderer committed the murder at this time and then fled the scene."

This handprint was rather special. Three fingers were holding the door panel, and the deceased's little finger print was found on the side, and there was a thumb print on the back of the door, which confirmed that the deceased had actively opened the door from the inside.

What's more interesting is that no clean toilet paper was found in every cubicle of the toilet, and the police confirmed to the cleaning staff that they replenish paper towels every day, and this will never happen.

Therefore, Yi Xin's case is relatively simple. Before he went to the toilet, the murderer took away the paper in the compartment. In this way, he had to ask someone outside for the paper to open the door by himself.

But the question is, how did the murderer know for certain that the deceased would come, and how did he know that he would not check the compartment for abnormalities before it was convenient?
