The serial murder case in Haidao City has gone through 6 directors, gathered 102 criminal investigation experts, set up dozens of special case teams, and a policeman died while chasing the suspect during the investigation. crack.The murderer is like a gust of wind in the night, always hidden in the boundless darkness.

All the information on this case is too long to read, and there are hundreds of guesses and inferences for reference, guesses that there is only one murderer, guesses that there are two murderers, guesses that there are four or five murderers, there are countless guesses .

But in the end, the police and experts still tend to believe that the murderer of this series of cases is the same person, and the police also tend to focus on the same person to commit crimes for investigation.Because before 06, the Public Security Bureau did not disclose to the outside world the murderer's method of committing the crime.Except for the same murderer, it is difficult for anyone else to make the crime methods and details so similar.

It was time to get off work, and Xia Huai hadn't seen a quarter of these materials yet.Lou Jing came up and asked him to have dinner with him after get off work, and he woke up and closed the file system.

Yin Shun didn't live at home, and Xia Huai didn't seem to want to go back to that empty home, so Lou Jing asked him to have dinner and he agreed.

An old man with silver-grey hair was caught in the crowd of people who got off work. The old man was wearing an outdated and faded army green coat, leaning on a cane, and walked out with heavy steps.

Xia Huai felt that the old man's back looked familiar, and asked Lou Jing, "Who is he?"

Lou Jing said: "He came to identify the body. The one who died of taking drugs at Ai Po's place last time was his son."

"You are so old and your son is so young?"

"Is it old enough to be a child, there is only one." Lou Jing sighed.

Xia Huai looked at the old man's back, saw the old man's side face, Xia Huai's eyelids twitched.He bowed his head and thought for a long time, the memory in his mind spanned several years, until when he was ten years old, Xia Huai finally remembered this person.

"I can't have dinner with you tonight, I have to leave first." Xia Huai didn't have time to explain to Lou Jing, leaving Lou Jing with a puzzled face, and hurriedly followed the direction where the old man disappeared.

The old man was probably in his early seventies, his body and bones looked very strong, his face did not look old, his eyes were as cold as an eagle, but deep sadness was hidden in this coldness.Even though he was leaning on a cane, the old man's steps were still steady. The crutch seemed to be of little use to him, it was just an ornament.

Probably only an old man with such a strong physical and psychological quality would not fall down after recognizing his son's body.

Two children ran past him chasing each other and accidentally knocked his crutch into the road.It was time for the green light to turn on and vehicles to pass, but the old man stood on the side of the road and hesitated.Xia Huai hurried over to pick up the crutch for him, and returned it to his hand.

"Thank you." The old man took the crutches and nodded his thanks to Xia Huai.

Xia Huai asked tentatively, "Officer Qin Fei?"

The old man looked up and looked at Xia Huai in surprise.

Xia Huai confirmed that she did not identify the wrong person: "Officer Qin Fei, do you still recognize me? We used to be from the same village."

The old man frowned, apparently not recognizing Xia Huai.

Xia Huai reminded: "In the past, there was a family named Xia in Xishang..."

"Oh, I remember now." Qin Fei said, "The village was poor back then, and your family had the biggest banquet. Who knew that something would happen in the end, and many guests who were invited to the banquet by you sighed on their faces and secretly But gloating in other places." Qin Fei stared at Xia Huai's face for a while, "Your age...are you, that boy from the Xia family back then?"

"Yes. They all said that my cousin left because of me."

"I remember, I said at that time that the child must have been smothered to death, but no one believed me."

"I also remember what you said back then." Xia Huai's eyes flashed with hope, "Officer Qin, I have been unable to let go of this knot all these years. Can you tell me what you knew back then? Why? Are you so sure that my cousin was smothered to death?"

Qin Fei opened his mouth and finally said nothing. He shook his head and said, "I forgot, I forgot. Don't call me a police officer anymore. I haven't been a police officer for many years. I have never been a qualified police officer." I didn’t even teach my son well!” With tears in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, “He has been away from home for four or five years, and he hasn’t been in touch with his family. It’s hard to wait for news about him. He died after taking drugs for so long! I was 50 years old when my wife gave birth to him, and he is my only son. But he is dead now, he died of taking drugs!"

The village of their hometown is a small town in a county under the jurisdiction of Haidao City. Haidao City is an immigrant city. In recent years, the policy has been opened and the economy has developed very well. Many young people in the village like to come here to find opportunities.

When you first arrive in a bustling big city, it is easy to be dazzled by the city's feasting and feasting. Gradually, your mentality becomes impetuous, and your family members don't want to contact you anymore, and you go off in crooked ways in private.Some people who follow crooked ways can succeed in success, and some people fail completely, and when they are frustrated, they may embark on the road of breaking the law.

The son of police officer Qin Fei was a complete loser. He met those crooked people, took drugs, and dared not go home. Only when he died outside did the police notify the family.

"Officer Qin..." Compared to losing his only son, Xia Huai felt that his affairs were not that important. He wanted to comfort the old police officer in front of him, but the old police officer in front of him didn't need this comfort.

Qin Fei knocked on the floor with his crutches and said excitedly: "I must find the person who sold my son drugs, and I will make him pay the price! Do you remember what you committed in the past? You are a policeman , if you want to atone for what happened in the past, go and arrest those brute things!"

Qin Fei didn't want to say anything more, and left with a cane full of hatred. Xia Huai looked at his back, as if watching his only hope go away.

The days are gradually getting hotter, and there are more and more rainy days. The rainy season is easy to make people irritable, depressed, and lazy.

In the days when Yin Shun was not around, Xia Huai lived a very casual life. He would either have dinner outside or go home with a bucket of instant noodles. The kitchen was almost moldy and he never stepped in again.

Yin Shun would contact Xia Huai every other week on the public phone of the school canteen. Five days before the college entrance examination, Yin Shun went home and his hair had grown a lot. Yin Shun dodged quickly and escaped the hair-cutting disaster.

After Yin Shun came back, Xia Huai packed up the decadent laziness he had indulged in for two months, and began to clean the kitchen that had been left unused for a long time.Xia Huai planned to cook some delicious food in the next five days to supplement Yin Shun's nutrition. In order to provide him with nutrition, Xia Huai checked a lot of information on the Internet.

A bowl of pig brain soup was delivered to Yin Shun, who was dumbfounded.

Afraid that he would not eat, Xia Huai picked up a bowl to feed him.

Yin Shun is of course willing to let Xia Huai feed the soup with his own hands, but thinking that what he is eating is the pig's brain that he fears most, Yin Shun feels a little disgusted.When eating a spoonful of pig brains from Xia Huai, Yin Shun had to look into Xia Huai's eyes before he could swallow it.

The day before the college entrance examination, when Xia Huai was shopping for vegetables, he heard that the parents of the college entrance examination students said, what time should they burn incense and worship Buddha, and what is the most spiritual thing to say when praying to Buddha? , It is really difficult to practice the four words of advocating science.

After returning home and putting away the dishes, Xia Huai saw a bronze statue placed by the landlord in the corner for worship, and looked at it for a long time.

Xia Huai advocates science, but Yin Shun has an exam tomorrow, he is more nervous than Yin Shun, and he is so nervous that he is at a loss, so he wants to find something to do when he is at a loss.

He looked at the time and remembered what the two parents said when he was shopping for vegetables.When he came to the bronze statue, Xia Huai clasped his hands together and felt that he needed something, so he took out three cigarettes from his pocket and lit them, holding the cigarettes in his hand, mumbling something he heard from the two parents: "Buddha I am thinking about my son... no, I am thinking about my brother Yin Shun Hanchuang who has studied hard for [-] years and bravely crossed the sea of ​​learning. This time he is going to forge gold in the furnace. The title is famous! Bless, bless, bless!"

After reading, Xia Huai bowed three times respectfully.

When Yin Shun went out of the room, he saw Xia Huai taking three cigarettes to burn incense on the bronze statue, and he frowned suspiciously.

Seeing Yin Shun's puzzled expression, Xia Huai shook off the soot on his body and said, "Have you ever seen a student's parent burn incense and worship Buddha before their child's college entrance examination?"

"I have seen people who burn incense and worship Buddha before the college entrance examination, but I have never seen people who worship Guan Gong."

Xia Huai was startled, put his palms together again, and bowed three times to the statue of Guan Gong: "Second Master Guan, I didn't recognize how rude you were just now, please bless him to return victoriously in this battle."

Yin Shun was stunned for a while, then said: "Didn't your captain teach you to respect science and oppose feudal superstition?"

Xia Huai snorted and said, "It's a joke, I keep these things in my heart all the time, do I still need the captain to teach me? Wait, what time is it now? I'll go to the tomb to put incense on your mother, and ask her to bless you too. "

Xia Huai changed her clothes and went out to buy incense.

Yin Shun laughed, shook his head and went back to his room to continue studying.

The college entrance examination lasted for two days. During these two days, Xia Huai asked for leave from the police station. Under the scorching sun every day, he crowded with a group of parents at the school gate, waiting for the students to come out while wiping off his sweat.

Xia Huai had a face that was too young. A parent saw him and asked, "Are you here for the exam? It's already started and you can't get in."

Xia Huai looked up at the teaching building in the distance through the iron fence, and replied, "I am the same as you."

Parents asked: "Same as us? Waiting for the children?"

Xia Huai didn't even look at them, and said absent-mindedly, "Yes, I'm waiting for the child."

The parent squinted at him: "Your child is taking the college entrance examination today?"

Xia Huai continued to be absent-minded: "Yes, my child is taking the college entrance examination today."

"Son, how old are you?"

"24."

"..." The parents thought, those waiting outside the examination room were more likely to go crazy than those sitting inside.
