Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, on the second-floor terrace of Phoenix Villa 01, the barbecue "Zizier" is smelling, and the bottle opener and the bottle cap are constantly colliding with each other, making a "dingling" sound.The air is humid and hot, and this summer Friday night seems to be extra impetuous.

The employees of the Beishui store of Qingfeng Global Shopping Center are eating barbecue, drinking beer and playing truth or dare on the terrace.

But this game was a bit embarrassing from beginning to end.

When the pointer on the turntable turned to a man in a shirt and rimless glasses, the embarrassment index suddenly soared to the extreme.

It's just because this person is the leader of everyone here, and he is the kind who is unsmiling and unscrupulous.

His name is Xie Qiao, he looks serious and arrogant, and he can't get along with the people below at all.

During the big summer promotion, the sales task was finally overfulfilled. The employees of the Beishui store planned to get together and relax.Xie Qiao, the internal control director of the group headquarters, came to do the internal audit inspection, and he worked in the office area of ​​Beishuidian, so everyone deliberately invited him.

I thought that a well-dressed person like him would not bother to participate in this kind of noisy team building for grassroots employees. Who would have thought that he would really come.

Once the leader came, of course the game couldn't be played, and there was no way to proceed with the routine complaints about the company's system and the leader.

At this moment, seeing that Xie Qiao had won the truth or dare, the store manager Jiang Xue immediately held a glass of red wine and said to him: "Mr. Guidance, this is very helpful to us. We must correct the problems that exist in our work. Next time you come, I hope you can’t find any faults with us! Our military order is here.

"I respect you for this drink! As for the game, let's skip it. It's really inappropriate—"

The Beishuidian Shopping Center, located in the old town with a lot of land and money, has a total area of ​​7200 square meters. It is a self-built property of Qingfeng Group. The part leased to various merchants is 6000 square meters. In addition, there is a self-operated supermarket of 1200 square meters. The annual sales Up to tens of billions.

Jiang Xue is the manager of this self-operated supermarket.

She has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, but she is only in her early 30s. She has a capable outfit, a decent smile, and the posture of a business female elite. The speech she said to Xie Qiao is really official.

Xie Qiao looked at her, smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it, and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. I choose the truth. If you want to ask anything, you can just ask."

This round of questions is the turn of business management manager Pan Kuang.He asked a mild question: "Mr. Xie, everyone is guessing how old you are this year. Can you tell me?"

Xie Qiao glanced at him and said, "35 years old."

Wang Yueran, the personnel manager, quickly flattered her. "I really can't tell, Mr. Xie is too young! When the little girls in the store saw you this time, they all wondered if you were only 20 years old. You are much more handsome than those little fresh meats."

Wang Yueran probably had a little too much to drink, obviously flattering too much, pushing the embarrassment index to a new level, and by the way, Jiang Xue gave a stare of disapproval.

After she realized it later, she was embarrassed, and quickly lowered her head to eat as if to cover up, but she didn't forget to sneak a peek at Xie Qiao's reaction.

Fortunately, Xie Qiao didn't seem to change his face, he didn't seem to mind.

He also smiled and pointed to the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and said jokingly, "I'm not young anymore, I can't compare to you young people."

After saying that, he stood up, and Xie Qiao walked towards the corridor. "Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

Walking to the bathroom, Xie Qiao locked the door, took off the rimless glasses, and walked slowly to the mirror.When he looked in the mirror, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were even more indifferent to the extreme.

I leaned closer to the mirror and took a closer look at the corners of my eyes. Sure enough, the wrinkle glue was a little off.Fortunately, the lights on the terrace were dim, so no one could see it.

After washing everything off his face, a very handsome skin was reflected in the mirror.The beautiful facial features are matched together just right, making people think of Chunshui or Qiuyue for no reason.

It's just that his eyes are too indifferent.So the spring water turned into ice, and the moonlight melted into frost.

He took out the wrinkle glue from his briefcase, and then took a pen in his left hand to apply a little on the forehead, the corners of the eyes, and the nasolabial folds, dried it with a hair dryer, adjusted the color with foundation, and finally put on the embellishment for himself again. Rimless glasses with silver chains.

Several times of facial plastic surgery, old wrinkle makeup, and a pair of glasses, these elements together form a mask, which has been worn for many years. After a long time, he almost forgot what he used to look like .

He almost forgot that his name was Xu Ci in the past.

After packing up his things, Xu Ci left the bathroom and returned to the balcony on the second floor.

When he sat down, he happened to see the wheel|panel|pointer pointing to a girl named Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu is the treasurer of Beishuidian Supermarket.

The store manager, Jiang Xue, was generous and decent, and Wang Yueran, the personnel manager, had an off-line personality. In contrast, Zhu Xiu's personality was particularly introverted, she didn't speak much the whole time, and just lowered her head.

With her personality, when she got the truth or dare, she became stiff, her hands were clasped tightly, and she seemed very uneasy.

Also, for some unknown reason, in such a hot summer, on the terrace without air conditioning, she was still wearing long sleeves, and even the neckline was carefully wrapped with a silk scarf.

"I, I choose the truth." Zhu Xiu said softly.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's surprise, Xu Ci actually said, "I was the one who answered the question last time. According to the rules, should I ask the question this time?"

No one expected the leaders of the group to really participate in this kind of game. In an atmosphere of embarrassment and surprise, Xu Ci stared into Zhu Xiu's eyes and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Everyone was stunned.

what's the situation?

Mr. Xie couldn't be attracted to Zhu Xiu, right?

Xie Qiao may not be so young anymore, but his appearance is really outstanding, and he is indeed not inferior in the entertainment industry.In contrast, Zhu Xiu can only be called delicate.

Furthermore, Xie Qiao is a director, but his rank has reached the level of vice president. It is said that he has a good relationship with the prince of the group, but Zhu Xiu is just a small accountant with a salary of several thousand yuan a month...

Mr. Xie came to the store to check, and it took only two days. Could it be that he fell in love with Zhu Xiu at first sight, and wanted to stage the domineering president falling in love with Cinderella on the spot?

The store employees, represented by Wang Yueran, all became gossipy, and Zhu Xiu's face also turned red.

Fortunately, Xu Ci has a frank attitude and dull eyes.It's as if he asked this question simply to liven up the atmosphere according to the scale of the game, so as not to let everyone have a bad time because of his existence.

After understanding this level, the blush on Zhu Xiu's face gradually dissipated, she lowered her head, subconsciously pulled the sleeves on both sides, and then lifted the silk scarf around the collar, she nodded. "Yes, I have."

After a few more rounds of the game, Xu Ci got up and said goodbye.

Under the eyes of everyone who felt relieved, he walked slowly to the room at the end of the corridor, locked the door, took a shower, removed his makeup, and finally fell asleep peacefully under the effect of a sleeping pill, without a dream all night.

·

The next day, in the early morning of dark clouds, one after another cobweb-shaped lightning kept gliding across the sky, thunder roared continuously, heavy rain poured down, and the Baiyun Mountain area ushered in a heavy rain.

The smell of barbecue and beer in the villa has not dissipated, and there are some snack plastic bags, barbecue sticks, and wine bottles scattered in the living room, corridor, KTV room and other places.

Another lightning strike struck, and one of the lights in the corridor went out, and a girl walking in the dim light with a somewhat flimsy footsteps was Zhu Xiu, and she seemed to be still drunk.

When she reached the bathroom door, she stopped.Press the bathroom door with the palm of your hand, and there is a line of reminders: [The door lock is broken and cannot be locked, please knock before entering, beware that someone is using it inside].

Zhu Xiu didn't read this line of prompts much.Probably because of dizziness, she stood still, lowered her head for a while, and tried to push the door open again.

But Zhu Xiu didn't succeed, the back of the door seemed to be stuck with something like tape.

After sobering up for a while, Zhu Xiu subconsciously felt something was wrong, and after taking a few steps back, she went to knock on the door of HR Wang Yueran's room.

Most of the first floor of this villa is used for entertainment such as KTV, billiard hall, and chess and card room. The only two rooms are occupied by Zhu Xiu, and the other is occupied by Wang Yueran.

A while later, Wang Yueran followed Zhu Xiu sleepily to the door of the bathroom, and the two of them pushed towards the door with all their strength, and the dense thick tape that stuck to the door and the wall finally fell off.

Wang Yueran stepped into the room first, fumbled for the switch by the wall and turned it on.

There was only a "pop", and the snow-white light illuminated the entire bathroom. The two girls stared at the scene in front of them for a while, and then burst into two screams that could wake everyone in the villa——

In the bathroom, the porcelain white floor tiles were drenched into a light powder by blood mixed with water, and the huge semicircular bathtub was filled with thick blood.Organs, pieces of minced meat, a few fingers, and a half-white foot just floated on the blood.

In the middle of the bathtub lay a girl in a white dress.Her limbs were complete, with two legs stretched out, two snow-white and swollen feet hanging outside the bathtub, and two equally pale hands gently resting on the edge of the bathtub.

The air was filled with a strange sweet smell, and a group of ants were slowly crawling towards the edge of the bathtub.

On the wall directly above the bathtub is a piece of waterproof paper, with a line of red letters printed on it: "Kill you, and then eat you. The part that cannot be eaten will wrap me to die. I have you in my body, and my body There is also you outside. You accompany me, I accompany you, and we will die together like this..."

This scene looked like the girl wrapped in blood, corpses, and internal organs turned into the most terrifying demon. She killed people and drained their blood.

She dismantled the organs and parts of the deceased and threw them into a large bathtub. Finally, she filled the bathtub with the man's blood and completed a treacherous self-drowning with the blood.

When the screams sounded, Xu Ci was in the bathroom of his room on the second floor.

As usual, by applying and drying crepe glue and putting on a pair of glasses, he disguised himself.

After he packed everything in an orderly manner, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Xie, are you awake?"

It was the voice of Pan Kuang, the business management manager.There was obvious anxiety in his voice.

"What happened?" Xu Ci asked.

"Dead! There are a lot of corpses in the bathtub downstairs...then what..."

Pan Kuang, who is usually eloquent when negotiating with merchants, is a little incoherent. Obviously, the scene of the murder scene has given him a lot of shock.

It was suspected that someone had drowned in another's blood.

He had lived half his life and never thought of such a thing.

"Have you called the police?"

"Reported!"

"Let everyone gather in the living room and wait for the police. Don't touch anything. I'll be there right away."

"Okay Mr. Xie—"

"Let everyone not send WeChat or Moments indiscriminately, so as not to be taken advantage of by those who want to.

"Your Beishui store still has the next round of summer promotion. The group has new businesses that are financing. There can be no mistakes at this critical moment."

Although Pan Kuang doesn't understand things at the group level, he understands the market situation.Someone died in this villa, and all the employees of the Beishui store who lived here last night were all suspects.If this matter is exaggerated by competitors, saying that there is a perverted murderer among the employees of their Beishui store, their business will definitely be affected, and their year-end bonus may be ruined.

"Hey, okay, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, I'll tell everyone!"

·

Monday morning.

"Qi Zang, oh Qi Zang, I didn't mean you...

"Your emotional intelligence and self-cultivation, I'm really sorry for your face!"

This is the roar from the office of the Deputy Chief of Jincheng Public Security Bureau.

The deputy chief, Rong Yong, has a horse face, narrow eyes, and a broad nose. He looks happy at first, but he has a scary aura trained by decades of criminal police career.

At this moment, he was holding a cup of health-preserving red dates and wolfberry tea in his right hand, and with sharp eyes, he was looking at the junior standing in front of him as if he was questioning the suspect.

Putting the teacup on the table with a "bang", he said angrily, "I heard from Wanwan that she wanted to invite you to the violin concert yesterday, but you fell asleep?"

The person standing in front of Rong Yong was tall and slender, with deep facial features, tough and handsome, born with a pair of charming and affectionate eyes.

The fly in the ointment is that he didn't comb his hair properly.The slightly curly hair was raised on the top of the head. When he went out and passed the bathroom, he took some water from the tap and smoothed it casually, and now it is back to its original shape.

Fortunately, his face is good-looking enough, not only can people ignore the hair problem, but also think he is a bit handsome.

This person is Qi Zang, the captain of the third criminal investigation team of the Municipal Bureau.

The so-called "Wanwan" is the blind date introduced by Rong Yong's wife Su Minmin to Qi Zang.In Rong Yong's view, girls are good everywhere, and Qi Zang simply doesn't know how to flatter her.

Looking at Qi Zang with hatred, Rong Yong added: "In our line of work, there is a lot of overtime and great danger, and the income is just that. If there is a girl who is willing to hang out with you, you will be very popular. This How important is it to meet for the first time, why did you fall asleep? Tell me about you...

"He's obviously a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. After all these years, why can't he find a girlfriend? I don't understand the flair at all!"

Qi Zang replied very sincerely: "I really don't understand the concert thing."

"You don't understand but you can pretend, pretending to enjoy it, isn't it difficult?"

Rong Yong picked up the teacup and wanted to smash it, but at the very moment, he remembered that this was the loving health tea made by his wife, so he quickly put it down.Thinking of this, he looked at Qi Zang even more angrily.

Qi Zang kicked the tiger's ass that was about to get angry without haste. "Tsk, our people's police, how can we lie to deceive girls? This is not good."

"You—?! You little bastard!!" Rong Yong almost laughed angrily.

Qi Zang also laughed. "Master, didn't I just stay up late for half a month and finish a big case. I'm really sleepy. The violin is slow and hypnotizing. I can't blame me."

Qi Zang led his men to work hard for half a month, and just solved a big case, and was forced to participate in a blind date before taking a day off... It seems that he accidentally fell asleep, which seems to be excusable?

Rong Yong, who has always been sympathetic to his subordinates, blinked twice and remained silent.

Qi Zang, who is very good at observing words and expressions, quickly climbed up the pole, picked up a cup of soy milk on the table and left. "I know Master loves me. I haven't had breakfast yet. Thank you!"

Rong Yong: "..."

After returning to the big office smoothly, Qi Zang took his seat with soy milk.He actually has his own office, but he still finds it convenient to sit in the big office and work together with everyone. The small office has basically become a place where sundries are piled up.

It was true that he didn't have time to buy breakfast. After sitting down, Qi Zang opened the drawer and rummaged through it. He found half a bag of biscuits that had been put here for some time.

Unexpectedly, without taking two bites, his interest in eating breakfast was affected——

An indescribable stench floated from the front.

Qi Zang put down the biscuit and narrowed his eyes. When he walked to Li Zhengzheng's position in front of him, he showed the professionalism of the criminal investigators, quickly located the source of the stench, and opened the first drawer on Li Zhengzheng's right hand side.

Then he saw a drawer of smelly socks.

It's not uncommon for everyone to spend the night at the office these days.The socks that Li Zhengzheng changed were not washed, thrown away, or brought home. They just piled up here, and an extremely strong stench finally brewed today. The moment Qi Zang opened the drawer, Bai Shu, who had three tables next to him, Ms. Wei immediately jumped eight feet away. "What biological weapon?"

Li Zhengzheng raised his head and found Qi Zangzheng raised his chin and stared at him.He looks slovenly, and he is absolutely unambiguous when he should be serious, and he is especially bluffing when he looks at people with a straight face. "You wash it now, or should I throw it away for you?"

Li Zhengzheng patted his head in embarrassment, imitating Hong Kong dramas and said "No, sir", and hurriedly said: "I finally solved the case yesterday, so I hurried home to catch up on sleep, and forgot to bring my socks back.

"Boss, you are quite rough, you don't wash your socks every day, do you? How can you be particular about people!"

Once upon a time, Qi Zang really didn't pay much attention to housework, and he would reluctantly wash his socks only when they were piled up.

His habit was corrected by his roommate in the same dormitory when he was a freshman.

That roommate's name is Xu Ci.

Qi Zang remembered that he was sleeping in the dormitory that day, and Xu Ci probably came back from the library and was about to read a book, but was caught by a certain smell.

He put on his gloves, found a basin of socks from under Qi Zang's bed, and then picked up one of the socks with tweezers, and put it in front of Qi Zang's nose, as the on-site investigators used tweezers to pick up evidence.

When Qi Zang was awakened by Xun, he was a little dazed.

When he realized what happened, he pushed Xu Ci's hand away and sat up, and saw Xu Ci condescendingly glance at himself, and said lightly: "Go, wash the dirty socks."

Who are you and why are you calling me around.

Qi Zang frowned and glared at Xu Ci immediately, only to see that he was already sitting by the window with a book in his hand.

Xu Ci turned to him, reading a textbook called "Forensic Pathology".

The warm orange light came in in the afternoon, and the slender hairs on his forehead and nose were clearly visible, and his silhouette was drawn with a pale golden edge.

Xu Ci, who was concentrating on reading, had focused eyes and quiet brows.

Seeing this scene, Qi Zang's anger disappeared for some reason.

He honestly went to wash his socks, and before he left, he asked Xu Ci: "Do you have anything to wash? By the way, I will help you."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Ci looked away from the book, looked up at Qi Zang, smiled lightly, and said softly, "No, thank you."

The ringing of the phone brought Qi Zang back to reality from his short memory.

Picking up the phone, it was Rong Yong calling.

Unlike before, Rong Yong's voice became very serious. "A homicide occurred in a homestay halfway up the mountain in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, and at least two people died.

"Currently, the crime scene is located in the bathroom, the window is broken, and the inside and outside cannot be opened, and the only door has been pasted with strong tape from the inside. It is initially judged to be a secret room murder.

"The Baiyunshan branch has already conducted a preliminary investigation, but there are many difficulties in this case and the nature is bad. I will leave it to you to take responsibility."
