trickster

Fang Shu stood in front of the door without moving for a long time. The community he lived in was an old community in a prefecture-level city. The buildings built in the 90s were good houses at that time. Most of the people who could live in them were employees of state-owned enterprises, but now But it looked dilapidated, and the downstairs was even rented out to someone who sold scraps.

He never knocked on the door. He asked about Chen Shen's "father" that day. Although he didn't want to associate the man in front of him with Chen Shen, his son's ID number was indeed chimeric with "Chen Shen" ... He asked why Chen Shen disappeared, but he couldn't find anyone at all. Chen Shen explained that he was born in a small place, and the household registration management was chaotic. He originally had two ID numbers, lost one, and used the previous one. This previous ID card—it was this cruel life experience.

He was almost silent after watching the master's inquiry about the murderer's case. When the murderer spoke, his tone was calm, and he even smugly described a few details of the case. The tone of "you didn't expect it at all" Cruel and indifferent, he even took killing people for fun, while Fang Shu had been watching him all the time, knowing that at certain times, there were several places on this man's face that looked more and more like Chen Shen.

Fang Shu felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and he could hardly breathe. In the end, he still couldn't hold back and said, "Now let's talk about your first case." Fang Shu pushed the news reports at that time in front of him. , Fang Shuze's master looked at him in surprise, because he hadn't finished asking, so impatient and abrupt, unlike Fang Shuze's temperament.

Chen Shen's father didn't become suspicious, he was still intoxicated by his narration, after all he had held back for too long, but he didn't pick up the newspaper.

"I've read this several times before, and I also received a copy myself. The newspaper actually didn't explain it clearly, and it's not interesting, but when it comes to the details of the case, don't you know it well? Didn't I give it to you?" Did you keep an eyewitness? Did he say it clearly?" The eyewitness was talking about his son, Chen Shen, and he should know that according to the procedure, they would notify his son, but right now he doesn't care about it at all.

I have read all these details, and Chen Shen's narration is very complete and logical, which shocked the police who recorded it at the time, and even couldn't help but write this down in the transcript.

"A child who is only seven years old has been so frightened, how can he speak clearly." Fang Shu lied for the sake of cliché.

A strange smile appeared on Chen Shen's father's face: "Does he look scared? That's interesting."

"Shouldn't he be afraid?" Fang Shu asked back.

"That's strange, I locked him in the iron gate, I killed his mother, but he kept watching quietly, seeing his mother lying on the ground, he didn't even try to rush out, you said such a small Shouldn't the child rush out regardless of everything, even if I was fatally shot," Chen Shen's father smiled, "He is the same as me, and even discovered it earlier than me."

"Found what?"

"What do you think, Comrade Police? He looks much smarter than me, hahahaha."

After the questioning, Fang Shuze's master was also very concerned about this matter. When Fang Shuze asked him what he thought, he just shook his head and said that the child was probably frightened. My friend, but what is he doubting?

Fang Shu looked at the door in front of him. He raised his hand in the air. The appointed time had come, but he didn't knock on it for a long time.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman in her early 50s opened the door. She was startled when she saw the square number at the door, and then she reacted.

"Is it from the Civil Affairs Bureau that I contacted yesterday?"

Fang Shu nodded, he lied about his identity.

"Come in, I'll get you a glass of water," the woman said.

After his mother was killed and his father absconded in fear of crime, Chen Shen was sent to an orphanage, and this person took care of Chen Shen in the orphanage at that time, and I heard that the ten-year-old Chen Shen lived with him for a long time, but After that, Chen Shen was sent away again, but instead of returning to the original orphanage, he went to a new place. Something must have happened.

After Fang Shu chatted with the woman for a few words, he got to the point. Hearing Chen Shen's name, the middle-aged woman was very surprised, but Fang Shu didn't miss the panic in her eyes.

"It's been so long, why did you suddenly ask about this matter? At that time, it was simply inappropriate... After all, we didn't... didn't formally adopt him, but just let him come over and take care of..."

"Mom, it's already this time, what are you hiding for him?!" At this time, the door to the left of the living room that had been closed was suddenly pushed open, and a thin young man walked in. He looked at a college student His face was full of anger, and he frowned at Fang Shuze, who was uncomfortable being scrutinized by this kind of gaze.

"Are you really just from the Civil Affairs Bureau?" the young man asked.

"Otherwise what do you think it is?" Fang Shu asked back.

The young man sneered and replied, "That's okay, of course it's the police. Didn't they come to investigate because that lunatic committed a crime?" The lunatic mentioned here obviously refers to Chen Shen.

"Ten thousand!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly called his son's name, trying to stop him from continuing.

"You seem to be in conflict with him?"

"Contradiction?" The young man said disgustedly, "It's not just a simple contradiction."

"Absolutely! Some things are not as serious as you said..." The middle-aged woman was still trying to stop her.

"Mom!! Be sober, you know that cold-blooded pervert almost killed me! Who is your son, me or him!" The young man said angrily, "I was also very happy when that pervert first came, I thought I finally had a reliable older brother. Although he doesn’t like to talk, he is excellent in all aspects. I admire him very much. I should have seen it at that time. His eyes are like dead eyes. emotion!!"

Regarding this point, Fang Shu was not very surprised. He had already heard from the old policeman at that time. At that time, Chen Shen was silent, his eyes were cold, and he did not have the emotions that a normal child should have. Send Chen Shen to After the orphanage, the old policeman also went to see Chen Shen several times, but Chen Shen was indifferent to his comfort, and he felt frustrated with his strange calmness and untimely polite response. Later, the old policeman gradually stopped going.

"But at that time, I liked him very much. I kept sticking to him and often took him out to play together. Until one day, I accidentally fell into the river. I choked on a few sips of water before I managed to grab the plants by the river. , but the plant is almost out of control, I just realized that he has been looking at me quietly, he has been watching me dying!! I asked him to pull me, but he just looked at me, I was getting weaker and weaker, and I started to beg him, but he didn’t speak, can you believe it, he was actually thinking! When I was struggling in the river, he was actually thinking, do you know what he said in the end?”

The young man's face turned cold, and his whole expression became distorted, "He was condescending, and I will never forget his expression in my life. He said, 'Ah, so you want to survive?'."

"Fuck, this is something only a lunatic can say! At that moment, I finally understood that this person is a congenital pervert!"

"absolutely……"

"Mom, shut up!" The young man became more irritable the more he heard the woman say, "After this happened, my father wanted to call the police, but my mother stopped him and sent him back to an orphanage. I haven't heard from him since then."

The young man looked up at Fang Shuze, and suddenly smiled: "You are actually a policeman, otherwise, after so long, why did the Civil Affairs Bureau come to ask this?"

Fang Shu was noncommittal, and he was surprised that he could still remain calm at the moment: "We are cleaning up and integrating the household registration. After Chen Shen's files were transferred to the new orphanage, there are no new records, so I want to investigate if there is something missing. What."

The young man snorted, looking a little disappointed, he gave his mother a dissatisfied look, and went back to the room.

Fang Shu looked back at the middle-aged woman: "Is it true what you said about your son?"

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but Fang Shu didn't know how she was feeling at the moment, she seemed to be going down, but she still seemed to be hanging in the air.

"But you said that after arriving at the new orphanage, there is no news about Chen Shen...?"

Fang Shu nodded. The new orphanage has no record of Chen Shen at all. Chen Shen’s ID number has been lost since then, until there are new accommodation records in the past few years, and Chen Shen has an ID card with a university degree. The number, because it has not been used, has always been blank, until someone helped him directly forge the fake student status from elementary school to junior high school, and the number was specially checked. No one remembers that there was such a person as Chen Shen, and it was too The coherent A elementary school to A junior high school is fake and unnatural at first glance, but the name has not been changed and the origin has not changed. It looks like it was faked to let Chen Shen go to high school smoothly. This is definitely not something a child can do. , so someone must be taking care of him.

From the information collected in the past few days, Fang Shu pieced together the image of ten-year-old Chen Shen, which is completely different from the current Chen Shen. In the past, Chen Shen was a quiet and indifferent child in other people's mouths, even... …feel scary.

"About this, do you know anything? Where did he go later?"

The middle-aged woman hesitated again, then she shook her head, Fang Shu could tell that the other party seemed to be hiding something, but she couldn't find out for a while, not to mention it would be faster to find it by herself.

After a few more pleasantries, Fang Shu left.

Lin Huai originally thought that the days of eating steamed buns would last for a few more days, but who knew that a few days after Wen Li'an came, Chen Shen transferred a sum of money to him, saying that Ye Na returned his meal money, although It's only half of the amount, but it's enough to be used until wages are paid.

"You... have you asked her for money..." Lin Huai was a little incredulous, this is not so easy to lose face.

"Well, it's a bit troublesome to add her WeChat. She finally agreed today. I said that I miss her very much, and chatted a few words by the way. After paying back the money, she blocked me." Chen Shen said with a smile.

"...You didn't talk to her again... just block it like this and leave it alone?" Although it has been beautified, Lin Huai can easily think of what happened. Chen Shen is sure that Chen Shen has been trying to add Ye Ye this week. Na Weixin, after stalking, the other party finally agreed, and the sweet cannonball said that he missed her. He thought he really wanted to contact her, but in the next second he asked her to pay for the meal - needless to say, who would change it? They will directly block the money.

"How come, she gave all the meal money, I don't think you will accept it, so I found her Alipay, sent her half back to her, and left a message to say thank you." Chen said cheerfully.

"..." Lin Huai turned his face to the side, his mood was delicate, but he couldn't say anything about Chen Shen. In Ye Na's view, Chen Shen was really a big cheat, and only Chen Shen did this kind of thing so naturally.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Huai still felt that despite this...he still had to say thank you to Chen Shen, but before he could speak, he received another police call.Seven < one (zero five + eight eight; five; nine zero.

Familiar place, familiar coast, familiar people, Lin Huai looked at the man squatting beside the reef, who was the owner of the villa in the previous dog beating case, why suddenly he couldn't think of jumping into the sea again.

Before the two approached, he asked Chen Shen in a low voice: "Didn't you say that he won't be overwhelmed?"

"I also think that when such an exciting thing comes together, I shouldn't be overwhelmed. After all, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." Chen Shen also whispered back to him, "Maybe the exciting thing just happened today? I finally calmed down, but I can't wait to die."

After the two approached, the hostess sat there expressionlessly, his eyes darkened.

"Are you okay?" Lin Huai asked, but the man didn't answer, and he didn't respond to the outside world.

"Didn't you already think about it before? Why do you suddenly want to jump into the sea?" Chen Shen asked.

The man still ignored him.

"Actually..." At this time, the policeman who accompanied him said shyly, "Maybe he didn't want to jump into the sea. I just rescued him last week, and this week I saw him sitting on the beach motionless and not talking. , I was afraid of accidents, so I called the police. Since you are here, I will leave first, and I have something to do."

"Okay, let's go first," Chen Shen said with a smile, and he turned his head to look at the man in charge of the villa, "No matter what, any emotion will pass, there is nothing you can't think about, didn't you realize it this week?"

"It would be great if I could feel emotions," the villa owner opened his mouth, his face numb, "I can't feel anything now, everything has lost its meaning, like a walking dead, do I want to commit suicide, myself do not know either."

After finishing speaking, no matter what Chen Shen said, the host of the villa would never speak again.

Lin Huai stood on the side in a daze. The police work, what he is not good at and hates the most is persuading people. Since Chen Shen is here, he is happy to be lazy.

"If you can't feel the emotion, it's a big trouble." Chen Shen squinted his eyes, he thought for a while, went to the car to get his tablet computer, and rummaged through the tablet computer.

After a minute or two, he put the screen in front of the man and coaxed gently: "Look at this, maybe you will feel better."

The male owner of the villa slowly raised his head, and his eyes slowly moved to the screen. Because of the angle, Lin Huai couldn't see what was on the tablet, but the man's expression froze, and his eyes widened suddenly. Lin Huai hadn't figured out what was going on before. , He lay down on the side and vomited violently.

Chen Shen took back the computer, glanced at the screen again, his eyes were calm, he tapped lightly, locked the screen, and said briskly: "Look, don't you still feel it?"
