The long bridge in front of Zishui Waterfall seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist. Xu Ci's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, standing quietly on the bridge, as if he had brought Qi Zang to the misty Jiangnan.

From the past to the present, every time he saw Xu Ci, Qi Zang's impetuous heart would become peaceful.

Exhaling lightly, he said to Xu Ci: "Let's go back to the city. Thank you for coming here with me. In return, I will treat you to dinner. Which restaurant do you choose? I'm afraid I'll pick something you don't like."

Xu Ci was noncommittal, but followed Qi Zang.

Just when the car arrived in the city, Qi Zang received a call - Liu Na's busy parents finally arrived at the city bureau and wanted to see their daughter.

Looking at Xu Ci with a bit of guilt, Qi Zang said: "Sorry, I owe you dinner first, I have to go back to the Municipal Bureau. Where are you going, I will take you off?"

Xu Ci: "The hospital. My car is still there."

"Oh yes. I'll drive there right away."

Qi Zang scratched his head, and after driving for a while, he reflected on his behavior today, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry.

Deputy Director Rong always said that he did not have some aspects of emotional intelligence, but he later realized that this evaluation seemed to be good——

Inexplicably, he dragged people up the mountain and ran around with him, and he agreed to treat them to dinner and let them go...

Will he be angry?Maybe not?Now he has a good temper.

"Cough that... I'm really sorry today."

"It doesn't matter, the case is important."

"I really want to treat you to dinner after I'm done."

"Don't mind."

Tsk.It seems that people are not good-tempered, but just too polite.

To put it bluntly, he treats himself as a stranger, and he hasn't reached the point where he can get angry and impatient casually?

His fingers couldn't help tapping the steering wheel a few times, Qi Zang really couldn't figure out what the people around him meant.

The car quickly drove into the underground garage of No.1 People's Hospital.

Xu Ci got out of the car and waved to Qi Zang.

Qi Zang took a deep look at him, and was about to roll up the car window when Xu Ci stopped him suddenly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Qi Zang asked him.

"Liu Na's case is basically settled, but you still have to be busy—" Xu Ci reminded, "It's not clear what the fake copybooks and blood props brought by Yuan Xiaobing were originally intended to be used for. Perhaps the group behind Yuan Xiaobing asked him to prepare the props first, planning to kill on Monday or some other time.

"Because of Liu Na's accident, this plan may be temporarily terminated...but they will continue to act. Therefore, one person may die soon."

·

Time went to the second Friday after the incident.

In the past week, the police have communicated with Liu Na's parents, confirming that Liu Na can swim, and her water skills are not bad. When she was in junior high school, she won the district-level youth swimming competition championship.Yunmeng Lake is not deep, and there are no wind and waves. According to common sense, she could swim ashore smoothly.

She failed to go ashore in the end, mostly because of Yuan Xiaobing's influence.For example, Yuan Xiaobing might go ashore before her, and then hold her head and press it into the water, eventually killing her.

Liu Na's watch was found in Yuan Xiaobing's belongings, and his DNA matched the blood stains found on the long bridge; in addition, Yuan Xiaobing appeared in the surveillance of a small hot pot restaurant in the north and south of Liu Na's school the next day. A video supports the possibility that he once took advantage of the students' monthly vacation to sneak into the school and put the painting on Liu Na's desk.

The chain of evidence has been perfected, and Yuan Xiaobing should be charged with intentional homicide.

It's just that the other person is dead, and the procuratorate will not prosecute.

If Liu Na's family wants to claim compensation from his family, they may consider suing separately.

Wei Fan was the one who was most upset afterwards.

When he learned that Liu Na was "not good at character", he asked Qi Zang whether it was worth finding the truth for her.

Now he really felt guilty and ashamed, but he was trying to figure out how to make it up.

In the end, Qi Zang took the lead in applying for the "Brave Action Award" for Liu Na. By the way, Wei Fan was asked to visit the director of academic affairs, and persuaded the school to hold an award ceremony in the auditorium, and her mother would receive it on her behalf.

Wei Fan served as the "temporary lecturer" of the conference and gave a lecture on ideological education for the students.He spoke very sincerely, and many students' eyes were red.

In addition, Liu Na was excluded and the head teacher did not act, so she was also punished administratively by the school.

These things can't bring Liu Na back, I hope there will be fewer encounters like her in the future.

The case of Yuan Xiaobing's shooting and dismemberment has been transferred to the provincial department, and the third criminal investigation team of the Municipal Bureau has issued a closing report on Liu Na's case.

On this day, before being ordered to go home, Qi Zang went to the building of the City Bureau Forensic Medicine Center again.

Liu Na's body was about to be cremated, and her mother Bai Ru came to the city bureau to see her off.

When Liu Na just died, the police couldn't contact Bai Ru at all. The last time she came to the police station for questioning, she also acted very calmly. From the beginning to the end, this mother gave off the feeling that she didn't care about her daughter at all.

Now seeing her daughter's body being sent to the car to the funeral home with her own eyes, she finally blushed, showing the sadness a mother should have.

When Qi Zang saw her, she also saw Qi Zang.

After calling to stop the car, Bai Ru walked up to Qi Zang, as if she wanted to chat with him.

"My condolences." Qi Zang nodded towards her.

Bai Ru smiled bitterly, and then said, "Officer Qi...Actually, I regret it."

After being silent for a while, she said again: "I don't care about Nana. It's just that my job is of a special nature. I do confidential research, and my mobile phone will be confiscated when I join the project team. I...

"My parents left early, and I took care of myself when I grew up. So I demanded the same from Nana. I was very strict with her...I told her to be strong and independent, and I told her that no one could accompany her forever, and she You have to learn to take care of yourself and learn to handle things by yourself.

"Including when she told me that she was excluded in school... I thought that a certain setback education was necessary. Once she stepped into the society, the environment she would face would be even crueler. I thought and thought that this kind of education was good for her .I did not expect……"

"Ms. Bai, I am deeply sorry for what happened to you and Liu Na." Qi Zang looked serious, but his tone was sincere. "Liu Na is a very brave and kind girl. I admire her very much."

After wiping away her tears, Bai Ru suppressed her choked voice.

"Thank you, officer, for your trouble."

After leaving these words, Bai Ru finally got into the car of the funeral home.

Walking out of the building of the Criminal Police Brigade in the setting sun, Qi Zang suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone, and opened WeChat.

Find Xu Ci in the address book, click to open it, the dialog box still stays at the location of Yongquan Village that Xu Ci sent last week.

After swiping his thumb up and down the screen a few times, Qi Zang finally sent a message: [Are you free?Owe you that meal, today please? ]

·

Today happened to be the day when Zhu Xiu was formally arrested.

The matter of her misappropriation of public funds has been widely known, Guan Hongwen can't justify covering it up no matter how much he wants to cover it up, let alone at this time he has no reason to cover up it.

Externally, he said that there was a mistake in the transmission of information between departments before, and he never said that he would appease the employees who embezzled the company's property.For this reason, he also fined the secretary's year-end bonus, and the related announcement became a hot topic among the employees of the group headquarters this morning.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

This secretary has been with him for so many years, knows all the secrets, and has won Guan Hongwen's trust.Xu Ci reckoned that Guan Hongwen would make up all the money that was deducted on the surface, in private.

In short, the case against Zhu Xiu's misappropriation of public funds was formally filed.Based on the previous promise to her, Xu Ci hired a lawyer for her, and tried to reduce her sentence on the grounds that she was PUA by the murderer, that she was deceived to embezzle public funds, and that she did not use the money on herself.

When Xu Ci took the lawyer to the detention center to meet Zhu Xiu, she had just finished meeting her parents.

Parents have come to disown her.

——Her younger brother is getting married, and his family is full of civil servants. If they hear that Zhu Xiu is in prison, they may regret the marriage.

Ever since she was a child, Zhu Xiu had never enjoyed a little love from her parents, so that Yuan Xiaobing randomly picked up half a candle from the garbage dump, lit it and handed it to her, but she mistakenly thought that she had got a sun.

After talking with the lawyer, Zhu Xiu asked Xu Ci very dejectedly: "You said that I have a life like this...what hope do I have? When I get out of prison...how should I face my future life?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Ci asked her. "Do you know how Liu Na died?"

Zhu Xiu shook her head, and Xu Ci told her the truth.

"You want to tell me... In this world, there are scumbags like Yuan Xiaobing who plan to get close to others, but there are also good people who can sacrifice their lives for their friends, right?"

Zhu Xiu wiped away tears with a smile, "So I'm just...almost lucky? Everything will be fine, can I believe that?"

"I'm not going to give you chicken soup. God is never fair. Maybe it likes to distribute bad luck to some people and make them suffer all their lives. But even then-"

My mother's coffin was airlifted back to China from Myanmar, my father fell into a pool of blood in a "car accident", and then three teammates were bombarded in the head one by one by my side...

All these pictures went through Xu Ci's mind, but his expression was calm.

He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Zhu Xiu, you just need to remember to always look forward. Look forward and never look back."

When leaving the detention center, Xu Ci received a message from Qi Zang just as he said goodbye to the lawyer.

Holding the phone for a while, Xu Ci replied: [I'm going to the violin concert, are you interested? ]

After a while, Qi Zang sent a message: [Then I am very interested. ]

Xu Ci raised his eyebrows, but he didn't comment. He opened a ticketing app and sent a screenshot to Qi Zang. [Normal musicians, there should still be tickets. ]

After a while, Qi Zang sent: [Already bought. ]

One hour later, Hall 2-7 of the Xincheng Convention and Exhibition Center.

The two waited in line to check in.

Xu Ci said: "Today is his last performance in Jinning City, luckily I found time to catch up."

Qi Zang glanced at the letters "John Zhou" on the poster at the door, and he didn't feel ashamed to say that he had been here before - to accompany that "Wanwan".

But Qi Zang really couldn't remember the girl's full name.He went on a blind date purely because he was talked about by Deputy Director Rong, so just listen to him being Wan Wan Long Wan Wan short Wan Wan and everything will be fine.

"Master, what do you mean? Do you like Wanwan?"

"Shut up, little bastard! I'm looking for you, what nonsense! Don't run the train in front of your teacher!"

Qi Zang really doesn't know if this young Chinese violinist named John Zhou is good or not.But this time he listened very seriously, not to mention falling asleep, he never even fell asleep.

Even in the last part of the concert, Qi Zang raised his hand and was selected by the musicians as the lucky audience.

"Choose a few numbers from one to seven for me, and I will improvise a piece of violin music for you based on these numbers."

On the stage, musician John Zhou said so.

Qi Zang didn't hesitate: "1, 2, 2, 7. Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'm giving this piece to one of my most important...friends."

December 12.This is what Qi Zang thought was Xu Ci's birthday.

——Born in the Capricorn in winter, Xu Ci has a bit of a cold and repulsive taste all over his body.

"Duo Lai Lai Xi" is set in D, and the four notes sound slowly, repeat, and change the rhythm. Finally, a very talented musician plays a beautiful piece of music with a length of one minute on the violin.

Qi Zang turned on his mobile phone to record in time, and recorded Xu Ci's exclusive song.After the song was over, he clicked the save button, and then nodded his thanks to the people on the stage.

Finally, the lights dimmed, the stage closed, and it was time for the music to end.

Qi Zang sat down and looked at Xu Ci beside him.

The lights on the stage went out, replaced by the auditorium which was slowly lit up.

The bright light illuminated Xu Ci's appearance clearly.

He sat there quietly, staring at the darkened stage without saying a word, like a statue, letting the people around him move around him, he was as motionless as a mountain and resisted people thousands of miles away.

Qi Zang carefully looked at his eyebrows, eyes, bridge of nose, and lips.

Looking at it separately, none of his facial features resembled Xu Ci, but when they were put together and combined with his demeanor, they looked like Xu Ci in every way.

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Zang asked him, the corner of his mouth smiled a little ruffian, "Do you think that song is good?"

Turning his head around, Xu Ci looked at Qi Zang.

The moment his gaze shifted, it was as if a static statue suddenly came to life, and Xu Ci's eyebrows and eyes became vivid again, wanting to let people approach him through the crowd.

He asked Qi Zang with a shallow smile. "Do you understand?"

"It's true that I don't know the rhythm, but I can tell the difference between good and bad. I really think it sounds good." Qi Zang's eyes deepened a little, "I just remembered... I don't know that birthday, my friend has Didn't lie to me."

Xu Ci didn't answer these words, pretending not to understand.

Qi Zang still wanted to say something to test him, but he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and quickly glanced sideways—it turned out to be that "Wanwan".

What are you doing?Didn't she hear it once?Like this musician so much?

Qi Zangxu held Xu Ci's arm and tried to lead him out. "Let's go, let's go out first."

Being so sensitive, Xu Ci can see something naturally, following Qi Zang's eyes, he can easily see a girl with exquisite makeup.

Turning around in the direction of the gate calmly, followed Qi Zang and walked a few steps, Xu Ci asked him: "Why, did you see your girlfriend?"

I always feel that Xu Ci's words are a bit teasing, and I don't know why Qi Zang speaks without shame. "Yes! Yes! It's a girlfriend."

"Then what are you hiding from?"

"Wrong, ex-girlfriend. It's embarrassing when we broke up. If you can see it, you can see it."

"What ex-girlfriend is now girlfriend?"

Wan Wan's voice unexpectedly appeared behind the two of them.

Qi Zang's complexion changed drastically, and when he turned his head to look at Wanwan, it was as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Wanwan sized him up for a while, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Officer Qi? It really is you. The ex-girlfriend you're talking about isn't me, is it? He's too trustworthy, thinking that girls with a few muscular muscles insist on bowing down in front of you? Hey, do you think we'll stick to you just because you're a little more handsome than others?"

Qi Zang: "..."

Wanwan continued to stab the knife: "The last time you came here with me, you actually fell asleep. I was so embarrassed that I didn't appreciate it, so I brought my best friend here again... It's another time for you to run again... Where did you sing? The lucky audience just now was actually selected by you. I came here for this session. It's really bad luck."

Qi Zang: "..."

Wanwan left arm in arm with her best friend.

Qi Zang immediately turned his head to observe Xu Ci's expression, and scolded in a serious and low voice. "Do not laugh."

Xu Ci raised the corners of his mouth and walked out. "I'm not smiling."

"You can't listen to all the words, you have to listen to the key points."

"Oh? What's the point?"

"For example, she said I was handsome."

"Well, she also said that you have a few muscles. Why, have you seen it?"

"…………"

"Then what—" Qi Zang continued to speak stiffly, "She is really not my ex-girlfriend, she is just a blind date. I just made a mistake. They look a bit alike."

"Oh." Xu Ci nodded and asked him, "The blind date has started. When do you plan to get married?"

Hearing his indifferent tone, Qi Zang became more and more bored and panicked, and immediately began to speak indiscriminately. "Anytime. I'm mainly busy. Otherwise, I'd be married long ago, and my children would be able to make soy sauce!"

Xu Ci: "It seems that Team Qi is looking forward to family life. Then Team Qi, come on."

Qi Zang: "..."

Xu Ci: "It's not good to fall asleep while listening to music with a girl. Don't do this next time. Don't you like the violin very much?"

Qi Zang: "..."

Seeing Xu Ci walking faster and faster, Qi Zang called him to stop. "Where are you going for dinner? You told me to treat you."

Xu Ci didn't think about how to answer at first, until his phone vibrated and he received a message: "See you at the old place at 11:[-] in the evening."

After silently deleting the message, Xu Ci stopped and looked back at Qi Zang. "Or go to my house. I'll cook."

·

No, what does this mean?

Isn't this concert a date?

What does it mean when you invite me to his house after the appointment?

Didn't you just let me go on a blind date?

Feeling flustered, Qi Zang froze at the entrance of the concert hall, until he was urged by the people behind him, then quickly moved away, caught up with Xu Ci and walked to the parking lot side by side with him.

"Hey, what I said was that I invited you to dinner, and I asked you to do...how embarrassing?"

Qi Zang really didn't react.

In his opinion, Xu Ci's invitation was as sudden as snowfall in summer.

Xu Ci's reply to this was: "Why don't you cook?"

Qi Zang thought about it. "It's not impossible. Does Laoganma mix noodles?"

Xu Ci: "..."

Qi Zang: "Then... Laoganma fried rice?"

Xu Ci took out the car keys: "Go to the supermarket to buy vegetables first, and you pay the bill as a treat. I'll do it."

So Qi Zang accompanied Xu to resign from the supermarket.

He pushed the cart, checked out, carried the plastic bag, and drove to the executive apartment of Qingfeng Group.

The small villa on the second floor was tidy and exquisite, and the decoration was in black, white and gray tones. It was as cold as Xu Ci's temperament, and seemed unapproachable.

There are two kitchens, one is an independent closed kitchen with glass enclosure, which is used for cooking Chinese food, and the other is an open western-style kitchen.

Qi Zang went to the western-style kitchen with both hands full of shopping bags, put the things in the place designated by Xu Ci, picked up his sleeves and vowed to help others, but when he saw Xu Ci take out the things from the closet one after another After picking up more than [-] kinds of bottles and cans and tableware of various unknown uses... I froze in place.

Xu Ci had already taken off his suit jacket when he entered the door, and now he naturally put on an apron and walked towards Qi Zang. "I'll take you to the audio-visual room. You can find a movie to watch. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Qi Zang felt stunned and had a sense of unreality, and was simply flattered. "Isn't that appropriate?"

Xu Ci looked him up and down. "Before I was injured and delayed for a few days, I piled up a lot of work, so I asked my assistant to pack my meals from the cafeteria these days, or it was takeaway. I really want to eat a good meal today. It's just a few restaurants I want to go to. You have to make an appointment in advance, and the concert has delayed your time, and it’s already past the meal time... just make it yourself."

It turned out to be the case.

Qi Zang asked him: "Then it's a coincidence for me, good luck, good luck?"

"Yeah." Xu Ci led him to the basement floor.

Walking down the stairs, the gymnasium is at the entrance of the stairs, with complete and professional equipment, Qi Zang carefully looked at the place, and looked at Xu Ci. "Don't talk big, exercise every day?"

"If you don't work overtime." Xu Ci took him along the corridor to the home theater, "What kind of movies do you like to watch?"

Qi Zang sat down on the soft sofa and asked, "Which one do you usually watch?"

Xu Ci: "It's mixed, you can see everything."

"Then would you recommend any one?"

"Okay, let me think about—"

"Wait, let's just revisit the old movies."

"Well, which one?"

"Mission Impossible, Infernal Affairs or something."

Is it meant to be or is it meant to be?

Xu Ci handed him the remote control. "Go to the video website to search by yourself. I will go up first."

·

After closing the door of the audio-visual room, Xu Ci went back upstairs and glanced in the direction of the basement. Seeing that no one followed, he went to the living room to find the medicine box, took out two sleeping pills and went back to the kitchen to start cooking and making soup.

In fact, it wasn't that he wanted to use this trick, but today's Qi Zang seemed to be a bit difficult to do.

Over the years, Xu Ci has lived in Jinning City, and from time to time, he would bump into old acquaintances, but none of them could recognize him.

He thought that he hadn't revealed any flaws, and he even practiced the small details of cutting vegetables with his left hand. He didn't know if Qi Zang was in a daze. After seeing the DNA comparison result, he still insisted that he was Xu Ci.

Guessing that the meal that Qi Zang invited today is not simple, I am afraid that if he has to find a way to further confirm his identity, then when he goes to the appointment tonight, he may be followed by him...

So Xu Ci decided to simply and rudely let Qi Zang have a good sleep.

An hour later, Xu Ci cooked the rice. The meat dishes included steamed large yellow croaker, oysters with minced garlic and vermicelli, and sweet and sour pork with pineapple.

The richness of the dishes really made Qi Zang speechless, and he blurted out the phrase "When will you be so good at cooking?"

Xu Ci served him a bowl of soup, and said lightly, "Life should be refined. People should know how to enjoy themselves, otherwise what is the purpose of working hard to make money?"

"Yes, you are right, you should enjoy life."

Qi Zang echoed this, with a smile on his face, but his heart sank suddenly.

Qi Zang thought again of that day in the secret passage of Zishui Waterfall, Xu Ci's inadvertently showing chilling eyes, and his body that was on guard anytime and anywhere.

"What's the matter, the soup doesn't taste good?" Seeing Qi Zang in a daze, Xu Ci asked him.

"It's okay. It's delicious. It's very fragrant. Your cooking skills are really good." Qi Zang praised sincerely.

Xu Ci pushed the delicate dinner plate in front of him, smiling slightly. "Then eat more."

After eating, Qi Zang helped clean up, poured out the residue in the bowls and chopsticks, put them in the dishwasher and wiped the table in order.

After that, Xu Ci accompanied him to the audio-visual room to finish watching the unfinished movie.

Qi Zang was indeed watching "Infernal Affairs".

The character played by Tony Leung was sent by the police to be an undercover agent for a drug gang. It was agreed that he would only be an undercover agent for three years, but he never got the chance to return to the police force.

When Xu Ci clicked the play button, the classic line that he spoke with the police line-up on the rooftop happened to be played——

"Three years later and three years later, if I continue to do this, I will become the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui!"

In order to ensure the projection effect, the main light in the audio-visual room was turned off. Qi Zang turned his head to the side, and he could see Xu Ci's side face illuminated by the reflection of the screen. He had no emotion or expression, and just looked calmly at the curtain in front of him. .

But Qi Zang could faintly feel an invisible tension in the air.

It's like... It's like when I was studying, reviewing in the library on the eve of the exam, Xu Ci read the book and brushed the questions calmly, no one else could notice anything unusual, but Qi Zang could feel the pressure on him from the corners of his eyes and brows.

Now Xu Ci is very indifferent, able to control all emotions with ease, but he couldn't do it eight years ago.When he was reviewing in the library, his white fingertips holding the pen firmly, the corners of his mouth pursed from time to time, his shoulders that were tense and rarely let go...all the details that showed that he was nervous.

Once Qi Zang sees it, he will force him to leave the library, go for a run on the playground, or play a game of basketball.

"Relax when you're under a lot of pressure. The strings will break if they're stretched all the time, not to mention you're like a bored gourd all day long and don't say anything." This is what Qi Zang once said to him.

Xu Ci had never been compared to a gourd before, so he immediately frowned and denied it. "I'm not under a lot of pressure. You should be the one who is under a lot of pressure. Your grades—"

Qi Zang said cheekily: "Our pursuits are different. I just need to pass or fail. What pressure do I have?"

Xu Ci: "..."

At this moment, Qi Zang suddenly realized something, and suddenly frowned, regretting it too.

He shouldn't have tried Xu Ci like this.

Taking the remote control from Xu Ci, Qi Zang directly pressed the exit button. "Watch some brainless comedies. I'm so tired at work, so it's easier to watch a movie."

After a while, Xu Ci gave a soft "hmm". "Then you choose."

"Okay." Qi Zang picked up the remote control to pick a movie.

Xu Ci suddenly asked him: "How many cases have there been in Jinning City these years?"

"There are quite a few small cases. But there are relatively few serious and serious cases." Qi Zang looked sideways at Xu Ci. "how?"

Xu Ci: "It's nothing. I just have a hunch... You should hurry up and watch some light-hearted movies. You may be busy later."

Qi Zang asked him with a smile: "A prophet who has never known?"

Xu Ci said flatly: "No. It's just a mathematical law."

Qi Zang:?

Xu Ci: "Power law distribution."

——The so-called power-law distribution can take earthquakes in natural disasters as an example. If the intensity of a large earthquake is ten times that of another small earthquake, then its probability of occurrence is one-tenth of the latter.

No major case of a bad nature has occurred in Jinning City for many years.

The dismembered corpse whose identity has not yet been clarified may be an introduction, and the major case is yet to come.

After understanding Xu Ci's meaning, Qi Zang didn't see any gloomy expression on his face.He casually opened a comedy movie that had just been released recently. "Look at it and try it. If it doesn't look good, change it."

It's a pity that Qi Zang didn't wait until he found out whether the movie was good or not. After 5 minutes, he fell asleep under the influence of the medicine.

Xu Ci gently pushed him a few times, then walked up to him, took a close look at him, confirmed that he was asleep, brought a blanket to cover him, and left.

Before leaving home, Xu Ci checked the water, electricity and gas, closed the door, locked it, and drove away.

Driving out in a suit and leather shoes, Xu Ci was already dressed in a cap, black mask, black sweater and jeans when he got off the car.

After walking several streets, Xu Ci walked around to the back of an unfinished building.There was a black SUV parked there.

Xu Ci walked over and opened the rear door directly, and the car drove him all the way, and actually stopped in front of the Forensic Medicine Center Building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

This time when he got out of the car with the driver, Xu Ci changed into a set of No. [-] Middle School uniform.He is quite tall, but with a peaked cap and a mask, and walking in the night, he really looks like a student from a distance.

The person who drove to pick up Xu Ci was none other than Qi Jun, the director of the Forensic Medicine Center.

No longer young, he has gray hair and many wrinkles on his face.

Bringing Xu Ci into the dissecting room, Qi Jun brought two sets of white coats to change into for the two of them, and then looked at him carefully with his glasses. "I watched you grow up. Even I don't recognize you... What happened to that DNA before?"

Xu Ci: "Qi Zang is more sensitive."

"Sharpness is sharpness..." Qi Jun's tone was a little puzzled, "Where did he get your hair from eight years ago?"

"I don't know either. Maybe I disappeared suddenly back then. He thought it was strange, so he found some things from my bed and the cabinet to keep. If he finds an unknown corpse, he can still find a way to compare my identity. "

Xu Ci quickly explained this sentence, looked at the dissecting table, and quickly got to the point, "Why did you call me so urgently today?"

At this moment, what is placed on the dissecting table is the human body made out of bones, except that a head is missing.

All the internal organs of the deceased were removed, all the soft tissues were stripped from the bones alive, and the places where the bones could be cut were chopped into pieces. The assailant either had a medical background or had an extremely rich killing experience. experience.

Qi Jun said: "The case has been transferred to the provincial department, and these things will be transported there soon, and they will be dealt with together with the old case from that year."

Hearing the word "provincial office", Xu Ci immediately frowned, without making any concealment in front of Qi Jun, his eyes showed a clear look of disgust.

Unable to miss his gaze, Qi Jun sighed. "You were on the phone that day... Don't you still think that there is something wrong with a certain leader of the provincial department? After that incident happened, someone from above was sent to investigate. Our team must be clean. I am afraid that what happened back then will not There is something hidden."

There is no problem with the three leaders who directed the operation that year.

Of the four people who performed the mission, only himself survived.Then it can only be your own problem.

Xu Ci didn't say anything more, just laughed mockingly.

"I admit that I have wavered. But you have no reason to do that. Isn't Deputy Director Liu and I on your side now? Otherwise, will he let you stay in Qingfeng Group? He will let me brought you here?"

Qi Jun sighed, his tone a little serious. "I know that it's hard for others to understand your feelings after such a thing...Xiaoci, if you call me 'Uncle Qi' over and over again, I will really treat you as my nephew. Deputy Director Liu and I treated you very well. We are on guard and we have taken surveillance actions. But it’s not because we doubt you so much. We are just worried about you and afraid that you will go to extremes.”

After a moment of silence, Xu Ci returned to his expressionless face. He put on his gloves and walked to the dissecting table.

Soon he made the same inference as Qi Zang.

——The main purpose of treating the corpse like this is to prevent it from being discovered by people.They are trying to hide the identity of the deceased.

It was still hot summer in the [-]s outside, and the temperature in the dissecting room was extremely low, and goose bumps appeared on Xu Ci's neck.

He lifted his collar and said, "However, there are still doubts. Those people are doing all kinds of business. There is a platform for them to buy and sell human organs on the dark web. Logically speaking, they will keep these organs. They This should be the purpose of cutting them off in the first place. If people are killed, wouldn't the organs be a waste if they are not used?

"The organs are kept... Is it because the deceased had some infectious disease, and the employer is more concerned about it, so that they can't sell it?"

Xu Ci picked up the measuring tool and measured the length of the corpse, and said again: "This time the matter is actually not like their style, everything is too hasty, including the ridiculous secret room...

"Besides, if they want to deal with this corpse, they will clean it up." Pointing to a piece of formalin-soaked tissue, he continued, "But there is a whole piece of pectoral muscle that hasn't been chopped up yet, wait for time Arrived, in fact, there is a probability that it will float to the surface.

"Furthermore, Yuan Xiaobing is not like them. It is reasonable for them not to hand over such an important matter to such an impulsive and brainless person...

"I judge that there may be some problems within them that lead to this mistake."

Looking at Qi Jun, Xu Ci asked, "What information did you judge?"

"The female deceased, with a height of 160, I guess was around 23 years old. The DNA database could not find him. Qi Zang, the Municipal Bureau, and the others have checked all the recent reports of his disappearance, and basically all of them can be ruled out."

Xu Ci praised it sincerely. "As expected of Uncle Qi, the age calculation is so accurate."

"You kid..."

Qi Jun smiled wryly.Laughed very emotionally.He is a friend of Xu Ci's father. He watched Xu Ci grow up since he was a child, but now he can't see through him more and more.The once sunny, cheerful and talkative little boy has completely grown into his unfamiliar appearance.

Xu Ci lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Hmm...a 23-year-old girl, she disappeared in the world, friends, parents, relatives, colleagues... none of them reported to the police, and it is very likely that she has some kind of disease...

"Such a person is very special, and it is actually not difficult to find."

People who come to this city from other places to work, if they are estranged from their families and do not have frequent contact with them, and the family has not found out that she is missing, so they have not reported her to the police. This is possible.

In addition, the job mobility of this migrant worker has to be very high.

She does not work in a certain place, but does odd jobs. She does one job today and another tomorrow. In this way, she disappears. The employer does not report the crime, and neither does the colleague. After all, no one knows what she will do the next day No one cares where you go.

Of course, there is another possibility that even if colleagues and leaders found out that she was missing, they would not dare to report the crime.

Because what they do is not a legitimate industry.

If it is the former possibility, slowly investigate in various labor markets, job agencies, etc., and there should be results.

if the latter one……

Xu Ci looked at Qi Jun with a serious expression. "It is recommended to check whether the deceased has any sexually transmitted diseases...such as AIDS."

As soon as Qi Jun heard this, his face turned green.
