"Yes," Chen Shen smiled, and he threw the finished yogurt into the trash can next to him, "No matter how annoying a person is, there is something to like, just like no matter how perfect and smooth a person is, he also has his dark side .”

Lin Huai felt that there seemed to be something in Chen Shen's words. He glanced at Chen Shen and asked, "Later...are you talking about yourself?"

Chen Shen was not surprised. He looked at Lin Huai and said with a smile, "So in your mind, I am perfect? ​​I am really flattered."

Lin Huai felt his face heat up, and he was almost sure that his face must have blushed, and he was caught by Chen Shen again.

"Based on ordinary people, you are indeed quite perfect." Lin Huai said stiffly, trying to make the words normal.

"I'm not kidding you, I said that, of course including me, everyone has their own little thoughts, you have too, right?" Chen Shen smiled.

Lin Huai thought about it for a while, and found that he couldn't think of it for a while. He had any small thoughts. Since he was a child, he could have whatever he wanted, so he didn't need to hide his small thoughts. He shook his head: "Maybe, I think now. If you can’t get up, then what’s on your mind?”

Lin Huai didn't get an answer from Chen Shen for a long time. Suddenly, someone came towards the interrogation room. Lin Huai turned his head instinctively, trying to make Chen Shen hide, but found that the person had already slipped back.

Regarding the matter of Qi Li and Mr. He, the leader persuaded him for a whole hour. Both of them have the temper of the son. The more things are not clear, the less likely they will let it go. The little boy also woke up during this period. The captain asked Lin Huai to send the child back, so as not to be involved again.

Lin Huai looked at the huddled little boy, thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Do you want to hold hands?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, with surprise in his eyes, Lin Huai couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart, even a child could tell that he was a stranger.After hesitating for a while, the little boy put his hand on it.

Lin Huai led the boy to the gate, hailed a taxi, and took the boy home.

After arriving home, Lin Huai didn't leave right away. It's okay if nothing happened that day, but the incident with Mr. He happened to stimulate the little boy. He felt that it was not good for him to leave at this time, at least until he Mom is back.

Lin Huai made many detours in his heart, and finally said directly: "Is there anything you want to tell me, or do you want me to help?"

The little boy lowered his head, maintaining a submissive self-protection posture, but after a few seconds, he raised his head suddenly and said sharply, "Why can't you arrest him?"

Although he was prepared, Lin Huai was still shocked. He wanted to answer that he would help, but he was unwilling to make vague promises. No one knew whether the relevant evidence could be collected, so he had to keep silent.

The two sat facing each other for more than ten minutes. Although the atmosphere was quiet, it was like the tranquility before the rainstorm. During this long silence, Lin Huai could feel the anger and impatience of the other party. Suddenly, the little boy stood up , he pushed Lin Huai away, and Lin Huai fell back a few steps.

"Get out!! Get out of here!!" the boy yelled.

Lin Huai didn't say a word, and then the other party picked up the remote control on the table and threw it at him, hitting his abdomen, which still hurt a little.

"Go away! I don't want to see you!" The little boy smashed a few more things, but luckily they didn't hit Lin Huai.

How could he go in this situation, Lin Huai thought, just when Lin Huai thought that the things on the table were about to be smashed, the little boy suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly.

Lin Huai slowly approached the little boy, at this moment, boom boom boom!Several violent knocks on the door startled Lin Huai. He gave instructions to the boy who was also startled, and went to open the door.

The anti-theft door opened, and Qi Li was standing outside, holding a stack of documents in his hand, how did this person find here?

"You..." As soon as Lin Huai opened his mouth, Qi Li handed him the document.

"This is?" Lin Huai looked at Qi Li suspiciously.

"I copied the information about the series of cases." Qi Li said, Lin Huai looked at Qi Li, knowing that he must have something to say later.

"In exchange, you copy the child's case file to me from your office, and a psychiatrist I know will come over later."

Lin Huai nodded. He didn't want to discuss too many things with Qi Li here, lest the boy overhear, but who knew that the little boy was already standing behind them. He had just wiped his tears and looked at him with a complicated expression. watching them.

Qi Li also saw it, and he shouted to the little boy: "Leave this matter to me, and I will help you arrest him."

The little boy was stunned at first, and then, it couldn't be more obvious, joy appeared on his originally lifeless face, and his whole person suddenly brightened up. He was very happy, and after tens of seconds, hesitation appeared.

Lin Huai didn't say a word, he was in a mixed mood. On the one hand, he was very happy that the little boy had rekindled his hope. On the other hand, he was worried that the lack of evidence would make the result even worse. Seeing Qi Li's determined, confident face His face was full, and he had even more headaches.

He pulled Qi Li close to his ear, Qi Li was startled, the breath of the other party brushed by his ear, so that he didn't realize what Lin Huai whispered to him, and then Lin Huai Zhang looked at him with a serious face.

"Do you have any?" Lin Huai asked again seeing Qi Li's delay in responding.

If there is no evidence, do you have the awareness to achieve your goals in other ways?

Only then did Qi Li respond to Lin Huai's question, but after he realized it, he still couldn't answer right away.

The two looked at each other, Qi Li looked at Lin Huai, and suddenly felt that the person he had been despising all along might be a little heavier than he imagined?At this time, the psychiatrist called by Qi Li also came. Lin Huai looked it over and talked to the doctor a few more times. He knew that although this doctor was called by Qi Li, he was absolutely reliable.

The psychiatrist greeted the little boy, Lin Huai glanced at Qi Li, and the other party's expression was no longer as arrogant as before, Lin Huai said: "I'll copy the files for you now, what's the matter, you'd better first Get your doctor's opinion."

Qi Li nodded obediently, and Lin Huai hurried downstairs without thinking too much about it. Although the matter would not change no matter how fast or slow it was, he was still eager to see the file first.

Lin Huai stopped the car, and in the car, he briefly browsed through the things Xia Qili gave him. The victims of these cases were all women with a good life. Other than that, all the cases had one obvious characteristic—— There was something missing from the victims.

The missing parts of the victim are all fingers. The earliest cases can even be traced back to 14 years ago. When Chen Shen was still in junior high school, these early cases were concentrated on Chen Shen’s junior high school to high school, and Chen Shen’s high school to university. The murderer never came back. The crime record seems to have been silent for six years. It must be the case that Logitech said Chen Shen was obsessed with when he was in college.

Obviously, when Chen Shen was in junior high school and high school, these cases could not have been committed by Chen Shenneng, so Qi Li only listed Chen Shen's similar cases before university as an item.

There are four cases of Chen Shen’s disappearance after graduating from university. Of these four cases, two of them were missing their left hand, one was missing their right hand, and one was missing both hands. It seems that there is no pattern. Many serial killers Everyone has a hobby of collecting loot, is this case the same?

Lin Huai habitually glanced at the crimes. The first case happened three months after Chen Shen disappeared. Less than two weeks later, the murderer committed another crime. The next two cases happened two years ago and one year ago. Before, the case of the auction where he and Chen Shen met was not included, because the body of the female victim was not missing, but yesterday, the body was missing fingers, so it was included in this serial murder case.

If these four cases are regarded as a single murderer, after committing the first crime, the murderer quickly committed another crime with passion, and after a year of silence, he maintained good restraint, committing one case a year?

The most important thing is that the murderer likes to cut off people's fingers. Is there any special meaning?Lin Huai fell into deep thought. He flipped through the photos. In these four cases, the incisions were clean and neat. The murderer had prepared tools from the very beginning, intending to cut off the victim's fingers.

Lin Huai called Qi Li, Qi Li was very impatient, Lin Huai didn't turn the corner, and asked him directly about the victim's finger cuts in those cases more than ten years ago.

Qi Li was stunned for a moment, but was strangely silent, and only answered under Lin Huai's urging: "You know, Chen Shen asked a similar question to you, but he asked about the case last night."

"How did you tell him?"

"What can I tell him," Qi Li said, "Of course I can't tell him anything, but I can tell you about those old cases. Some of the incisions are neat, while others are messy. It should be the difference in tools."

Qi Li paused, and then said: "If you want to say that these four recent cases are all imitation crimes, I also thought of it. In the previous old cases, the murderer did not deliberately prepare tools, but in the recent four cases, the murderer prepared them in advance. It is very likely that the imitator did not fully imitate the tool used to cut the finger because he did not have detailed information when studying the previous case."

"Even if you notice this, Chen Shen still can't get rid of the suspicion," Qi Li said indifferently, "The incision was neat last night, and he was in the local area when the four incidents happened."

In fact, it is very likely that Chen Shen is not there at all, but Lin Huai was silent. The meeting time was too short at that time, and he had no chance to question Chen Shen in detail. He broke the matter at this time, and Chen Shen's suspicions were cleared away. Take it off, but it will alert the real culprit and disappear from then on.

"Okay, it's okay, I'll hang up." After Qi Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry, obviously his mind at this time was not on Chen Shen's case.

Suddenly, the taxi driver slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, Lin Huai had the habit of wearing a seat belt, so he didn't hit the front windshield directly.

Lin Huai looked expressionlessly at the car that stopped him. Before he could guess what happened, Mr. He got out of the car. His right cheek looked red and swollen. Could it be that this man came to seek revenge? ?Shouldn't you be looking for him?Or do you think Qi Li is difficult to deal with, so you directly pick yourself to start.

The men brought by Mr. He knocked on the window of the car and pulled Lin Huai out of the car. This fierce posture scared the taxi driver. Moreover, Lin Huai was still wearing a police uniform. A gangster came to the police A vengeful gesture.

Lin Huai didn't resist. Since others didn't hit people first, he didn't want to do it first. Although Mr. He was surprised by Lin Huai's submissive attitude, he was very satisfied. The taxi driver, Lin Huai spoke.

"You didn't pay me."

Lin Huai's voice was pleasant, with a natural coolness, which matched his appearance very well. Mr. He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lin Huai to say that, he muttered, and asked someone to throw a hundred-yuan bill to the driver , the driver was still trembling, and when he recovered, those people who looked like gangsters and the police had disappeared.

Should he call the police... It's better to have one more thing than one less thing, the police probably don't know about it.

In Mr. He's car, Lin Huai was thinking the same thing, and he didn't know if the driver would dare to call the police. Although he didn't think what Mr. He would do to him, he didn't have the heart to persuade the driver not to call the police.

Mr. He originally wanted to show a threatening aura, but when he really saw Lin Huai sitting next to him, he couldn't help but look Lin Huai up and down again. This policeman is really good-looking, especially the cold, calm look on his body. The abstinent temperament is really clean and itchy, similar to the Qi Qin he met for the first time, except that Lin Huai's temperament is more stubborn.

To put it bluntly, the difference between Qi Qin and Lin Huai's temperament is the difference between arrogance and arrogance. Arrogance can be suppressed, but things in the bones are difficult. When the arrogance is really stripped from the bones, this People are almost destroyed.

The type he likes is this kind of beauty like the flower of the high mountains. Naturally, a beauty can be more of a monster, so when he saw Qi Qin for the first time, he did not hesitate to throw an olive branch, even if the other party was not at all at the time. Pay attention to him, but he also showed rare patience.

It's just that this kind of patience seems to be completely non-existent when facing Lin Huai. On the one hand, because of his love for beauty, he has a gentle affection, and on the other hand, he feels that Lin Huai's calm appearance is really annoying, which makes him inexplicable The fire is big.

Lin Huai sat quietly in the car without saying a word. Finally, Mr. He couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Has anyone ever told you that you don't deserve a fuck?"

Hearing this, Lin Huai glanced at Mr. He, because of Qi Qin's special relationship with this person, he didn't know whether he should normally interpret this sentence as a way of expressing anger.

Seeing Lin Huai's calm and scrutinizing eyes, Mr. He became even more angry. He grabbed Lin Huai's collar. Lin Huai looked at the other party's angry face speechlessly. Being insulted by others is really not a pleasant thing, Lin Huai thought.

Seeing that Lin Huai didn't respond, Mr. He became even more angry. He pushed Lin Huai against the car door and shouted, "Are you listening to me?"

It was at this moment that Lin Huai didn't want to bear it anymore.

Mr. He was busy competing with Lin Huai, but at the next moment, his hand hurt, and then his face was pressed against the seat.

"Fuck me." Mr. He cursed instinctively, but he didn't realize that Lin Huai pushed him back on the seat, simply because his face touched the position of his buttocks, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After a few seconds, he realized that he was being restrained by Lin Huai. He was so annoyed that he turned his head to fight back, but Lin Huai pressed it so firmly that he couldn't move for half a year.

Seeing that his employer was being bullied, the subordinates sitting in the front row also reacted, and hurriedly reached out to tear Lin Huai away, but Lin Huai gave his hand ahead of time and sat back down.

Mr. He wiped his face, feeling angry and annoyed. He was already very annoyed by being punched by Qi Li for no reason today. Now even this little policeman doesn't take himself seriously. The evil fire has nowhere to vent.

"You're courting death." Mr. He said viciously.

At this time, the subordinates were clever, and asked people to stop the car directly. The people surrounding Lin Huai were all in the back car. After parking, those people got down, pulled Lin Huai out again, and pressed on the car door. The young master also came down, staring at Lin Huai for a long time without saying a word.

Looking at Young Master He who was full of anger, Lin Huai suddenly realized that maybe he shouldn't fight back. If he didn't say anything, maybe he was just being pulled by the collar. Now it seems that the other party doesn't want to beat him.

But if he can do that, he won't be that spoiled and supercilious young man of the Lin family. No matter how much time passes and how much he grows up, some traces of the past are there and cannot be erased.

"Believe it or not, no one cares about me breaking your hand here today?" Mr. He wanted to take a step forward, grabbed Lin Huai's hand, and threatened. He glanced at the "target" he was threatening, thinking Another twitch, this hand... is quite beautiful, it seems a pity to smash it...

Lin Huai didn't know what Mr. He was thinking. He wasn't sure if the other party would really do such a thing when he became angry. After all, when a person became crazy, even using his elder brother's name was not so useful. Thinking After a few seconds, he still decided to follow the negotiation method.

"You didn't come to me to break my hand, did you?"

Mr. He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the reason why he was looking for Lin Huai before. How did it become the current situation inexplicably?With a sullen face, he looked at Lin Huai, thinking about punching him in the face, but felt a little pity.

"What's the matter, why don't you tell me first, or if you really use my hand, I don't have the heart to answer you."

That's the reason, but why is he still so angry? Mr. He struggled for a while, and then asked: "Did you know Qiqin before? He has a strange attitude towards you. You didn't know each other because of a car crash." Right? I feel like he's hiding something from me."

Lin Huai was stunned for a moment. He thought Mr. He would ask about the murder case. After all, the deceased was his mother, but this person actually asked Qi Qin?The person he took care of?Doesn't he care about his mother?

"you……"

"She's not my own mother," Mr. He seemed to see Lin Huai's thoughts, "but our relationship is not bad, so that's it."

Even so, Lin Huai still felt that Mr. He's attitude towards the deceased was quite cold, so he thought for a while and asked, "Is it important whether I knew Qi Qin before?"

"Of course it's important," Mr. He laughed contemptuously, "Qi Qin has been absent-minded recently, and my mother died again. I have to figure out whether you have anything to do with all this."

...? ? ?Lin Huai carefully read Mr. He's words in his mind three times, but he didn't find any logic in it.

"Sorry, that's all for Qiqin. What does your mother's matter have to do with me?"

Mr. He seemed unwilling to open his mouth, as if he thought it was stupid to do so, but after a while, he still said: "My mother did something to apologize to Qi Qin. Although Qi Qin didn't say anything, I know it can't be so simple. Yes, how do I know that you are not in partnership with him, buying murder to kill my mother?"

"..." Lin Huai was speechless. Although he didn't know where this guess came from, the logic made sense. He slowed down and said, "Then..."

Mr. He suddenly interrupted him, and he looked at Lin Huai suspiciously: "He is always bored, but he behaved strangely after seeing you. Didn't I get fucked by you?"

"..."

Lin Huai originally thought that Mr. He was inexperienced and unreasonable, but now he just felt that the other party was born with some brain problems. Although he really wanted to tell the truth directly, he wanted to keep some privacy for Qi Qin, so he watched Shaking his head very calmly, he answered Mr. He's stupid question and changed the subject.

"No, what did you say your mother did to Qi Qin?"
