Coquettish

On the afternoon of the second day after her birthday, Xie Yan flew back to Hongcheng to continue filming.

The shooting of "Goodbye, Rose" was too busy. Even Xie Yan was so immersed in the role, sometimes she couldn't fully express Gu Xuewen in the script, so she had to reshoot it over and over again.

But as the days passed day by day, the shooting process finally entered the second half.

The murderer has not committed a crime for several months, but the serious crime team dare not take it lightly.The technical team is still trying to restore the forum data more than ten years ago. Those data seem to have been deliberately deleted again, and it is difficult to retrieve them. We can only start with the data backup handed over to the government by the forum management at that time.

On a snowy day at the beginning of that year, a special guest came from the Public Security Bureau, who said he had clues to a serial murder case.

Chen Yunsheng was sitting in the office and was about to have lunch. When he heard the news, he didn't even eat, and went directly to the living room to meet him.

The man's name was Mu Zihua, who looked to be in his early 50s, with gray hair, deep wrinkles between his brows, and a serious face. After asking, he found out that he was also a policeman in a subordinate police station and had worked for 20 years.

He still seemed to be hesitating, and finally spoke after a while: "All the victims of this serial murder case were donkey friends at a forum party 17 years ago, and I also went there."

Chen Yunsheng's expression suddenly changed.

Although they had found out that the murder case was related to the forum gathering, they had never disclosed it to the public, and it was impossible for outsiders to know about it, but they did not expect that the person concerned would come to the door.

He yelled outside: "Little Gu, come and take notes for me."

But after shouting twice, there was still no movement, but another person walked to the door and said: "Captain Chen, Xiao Gu just had two mouthfuls of food, and he said it was a stomachache, and now he is lying on the table and can't get up. Shall I call you?"

Chen Yunsheng said angrily: "He has a stomachache and is calling a fart, you come and remember it for me."

Mu Zihua rubbed his hands: "Just to provide a clue, don't need to be so formal, I've been a policeman all my life..."

Chen Yunsheng was used to dealing with these things, so he didn't give him a step down, and said with a smirk: "Since it is a clue, it will be used as evidence at that time. It must be more effective to make a record."

Mu Zihua talked about what happened 17 years ago.At that time, he was only in his thirties, and he liked to run around. He met a group of like-minded people on the forum, who happened to be in the same city, and the farthest one was also in a neighboring province, so he decided to hold an offline party in a nearby On Qiling Mountain.That time there were six teams, three single men, one single woman, and two couples, one of whom was pregnant, and the other brought a seven or eight-year-old boy.

At that time, the tourism industry was not yet developed, and the main peak of Qiling Mountain was too dangerous and there was a rift valley. The group of them did not dare to go there, so they climbed a small peak, rested on the top of the mountain at night, drank and ate barbecue, and they lived in peace.The incident happened to the little boy. After eating, his mother suddenly found that the son was missing, so she clamored to find him.But at that time, it was getting late, and the group of people had no special rescue tools, and the surrounding area was full of canyons, so I advised the mother to look for it in the morning.But she didn't want to, she went crazy and insisted on looking for it, and went by herself if no one accompanied her, but she couldn't come back.

Mu Zihua sighed at this point: "It's not that we didn't want to help, but that we really had no choice. When we went up the mountain, there were two people missing when we went down the mountain. We didn't dare to stay any longer, so we disbanded and went home on the spot. Haven't been in touch since."

After listening to the story calmly, Chen Yunsheng didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just asked, "Then why didn't you call the police after you went down the mountain? At least we didn't find the alarm record of Qiling Mountain 17 years ago."

Mu Zihua avoided Chen Yunsheng's probing gaze, and his eyes were a little evasive: "We all met by chance, so we didn't dare to intervene in this kind of thing, not to mention that the man was still alive at that time, we all thought he must call the police. "

After Chen Yunsheng finished listening, he was silent for a moment, and shook hands with Mu Zihua: "Then do you still remember that family?"

After so many years, Mu Zihua doesn't seem to remember much, and only said the most impressive thing, that is, the missing woman is very, very beautiful. There should be a photo of her in the forum, which was sent by her husband, which attracted many friends in the forum. They praised his good luck.

Chen Yunsheng sent this crucial news to the technical team, then turned to look at Mu Zihua, with a tone of seduction: "Who do you think will be the murderer?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Mu Zihua blushed and said decisively: "It must be that man. He has come to take revenge and kill us innocent people. Maybe I will be the next one. You must find the murderer as soon as possible."

Chen Yunsheng smiled: "Thank you for the clue, it's really very important."

He pretended to ask casually again: "How did Officer Mu know this news?"

Mu Zihua's half foot had already stepped out of the reception room, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the words, he replied dully: "I accidentally saw the photo of that person, and I remembered it."

After questioning Mu Zihua, Chen Yunsheng blew a whistle with a little ease. According to this key clue, he will definitely gain something.

He was about to go back to the office to sort out his thoughts, and when he was halfway there, he returned to the tea room, made a cup of hot water, handed it to Gu Xuewen's desk, brushed his hair, and asked nonchalantly, "Why is your stomach hurting again? How can you be a policeman?"

Gu Xuewen raised his head, his face was almost pale, and there was not even a trace of blood on his lips. He looked lifeless, and said lazily: "Anyway, I don't want to be a good policeman for the people, but I just want to find out the truth about my parents' case." .”

Chen Yunsheng's heart moved: "It's okay, once this case is finished, I will go to the old file with you and investigate with you."

Gu Xuewen tilted her head and smiled at him: "Then thank the captain in advance. Is there any significant progress in this case?"

Chen Yunsheng was tickled by his laughter, wanted to smoke a bit, but held back: "Yes, a client came just now, and the clues mentioned, no matter what, may be true or false, but they can definitely be found out. "

Gu Xuewen looked up at him, as if admiring him, Chen Yunsheng told him those conjectures, such as why that Mu Zihua must have told lies.The clues of these major cases are generally not reported to the subordinate police station, and it is impossible for Mu Zihua to know the information of all the victims.He must have inadvertently learned of the death of one of them, so he used his relationship to find out the situation of the rest, so that he could confirm that this serial murder case was related to what happened in 17.And for so long, he has been afraid to report the case because he has ghosts in his heart, but the fear of death overwhelmed his timidity, so he chose to tell these clues, but he still beautified what happened that year.

This was just a preliminary idea. The remaining Chen Yunsheng hadn't thought about it yet, so he heard Gu Xuewen say: "The captain is really amazing, I might never think of these things in my life."

He paused, moved closer to Chen Yunsheng, and said softly, "Then such a powerful captain, can you buy me a bowl of porridge? I really have no strength."

Chen Yunsheng froze for a while, then nodded, and strode out of the office, as if fleeing in a hurry.

Gu Xuewen looked at his back, didn't recover for a long time, he said softly: "Captain, goodbye."

Wu Yun stopped here.

Xie Yan was still sitting on the chair, half-closed her eyes, frowning tightly, her face was still pale, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and she didn't stand up for a while.

In order to act in this play, he did not eat for more than a day, and makeup alone cannot achieve the current effect.

Jiang Tong hurriedly wiped Xie Yan's sweat with a hot towel, and brought hot soup, thinking he should give him something to eat.But Xie Yan really couldn't eat it, not to mention there were still scenes to be filmed, he didn't want to destroy this state.

Li Qian had already gone out just now, but now he came in with a hot water bottle and handed it to Xie Yan, but he didn't take it.

Standing aside, Jiang Tong heard Xie Yan say "I have a boyfriend", and almost had a heart attack on the spot. Can such words be said casually?

Li Qian was taken aback, but quickly adjusted, and continued with a smile: "We've been filming together for so long, so it's a friend who gave it to you, isn't it okay?"

It's not that I'm in the drama, it's just that I've been with him for a long time. For a boy like Xie Yan, I'm really attracted to him and want to get in touch with him further.But before he could make any formal moves, he was immediately and flatly rejected.

But Xie Yan still doesn't want it.

Li Qian is not a stingy person, instead he sighed: "Your boyfriend is really lucky."

Xie Yan looked away, and said casually: "My luck is better."

Jiang Tong didn't even notice, his boss is really a model of unintentionally showing affection.

Obviously, as long as you don't get involved with Fu Qing's affairs, it's cold and cool!

Li Qian didn't bother Xie Yan any more, and left in a sensible manner.Xie Yan's stomach still hurts, she stayed in the distance without moving, turned on her new phone, clicked on WeChat, but instead of sending a message to Fu Qing, she looked at the picture sent by Yang Xun.

Those were pictures of bright, shiny rings.

Yang Xun is like a salesman who gets a commission. He noted the design concept and source of each ring in detail, and excitedly asked Xie Yan which one he wanted, and he immediately ordered it.

Xie Yan opened them one by one, looking carefully.He is filming and has no time to go out, so he can only use this method to look at the ring first.

Before he finished watching these rings, the rest time was over, and the shooting was about to start again.

Chen Yunsheng bought porridge for Gu Xuewen, chatted with him for a while, and went to the technical team to sort out the materials in the afternoon.In the evening, I read Mu Zihua's notes again.

One thing is still very strange, that is why the murderer has not committed a crime after so long.

But it wasn't until he saw a detail in Mu Zihua's transcript that he finally realized it.Mu Zihua was a policeman, and he was more vigilant than ordinary people. He didn't use his real name at the time, and even his job and address were false.

The murderer didn't know who Mu Zihua was at all. He couldn't find Mu Zihua, so he couldn't commit the crime.

This also explains why the murderer left the rich man's face untouched.The rest of the victims are ordinary people. If the police cover them up more tightly, the journalists will not report the information of the victims.But that rich man is different, at least he is well-known in the local area, and the photos will definitely be circulated after being killed.

The murderer was to lure Mu Zihua.

Chen Yunsheng didn't dare to think any more, he didn't even take his coat, he rushed out and drove to Mu Zihua's residence.

He only saw Mu Zihua's body, still warm, not long dead.

This is the fifth case.

Chen Yunsheng came back from the scene in the middle of the night, but Gu Xuewen was not there. The police who stayed behind said that he went to the hospital for treatment in the afternoon because of a stomachache.He rubbed his forehead, he was extremely tired, and some inexplicable thoughts rushed out, but he held back and didn't think too much. Just when he was about to call Gu Xuewen and ask about his situation, the technical team sent a photo come over.

It was a photo of a woman's side face, which was very blurry, but she could still be seen to be very beautiful, the kind of moving person who is enough to make one lose one's mind at a glance.

There is also a creepy fact that Gu Xuewen looks very similar to her.

Like two flowers on the same rose vine.

Chen Yunsheng was almost suffocated. He dialed a number, his voice trembling uncontrollably, but he forced himself to be calm: "Go and check Gu Xuewen's file, I want it now."

Gu Xuewen didn't come back that night, and he didn't come back every night after that.
