ruffian detective

The lights are gradually turned off, the night is dark, and there is silence everywhere.

There was an empty bottle of Chivas Regal in front of Shen Yan, and there was still the last shallow layer in the delicate and clear glass.

He picked up the glass and shook it, the glass refracted radiance, and the color of the wine was rippling.

Since when did he need a lot of alcohol to help him sleep?

Shen Yan's slender fingers circled the wall of the glass with a beautiful and graceful arc. He held the glass and walked to the dining table, his eyes fell on a photo frame on the table.The wood grain of the photo frame is exquisite and exquisite, and there are some faint wear marks on the edges and seams, which can tell how old it is.

However, in such an exquisite photo frame, there is a group photo that was mostly burned.

Only the person on the far left of the photo retains a complete face and figure. That is Shen Yan at the age of 14. At that time, he was admitted to university with the qualifications of a young genius. With a shy smile, there is a youthful sun-like look in his eyes.

Shen Yan studied psychological theory for four years and criminal psychology for another six years, and he was already sensitive to subtle changes in expression.He knew how high-spirited, calm and comfortable he must be to show such a smile.

However, his eyes drifted to the right again, looking at the large incompleteness next to him, under the influence of alcohol, his eyes revealed a daze and melancholy that would not appear during the day.

Except for Shen Yan, the faces of the few people in the photo frame have been completely destroyed, and even the outline of the body is almost blurred. It can only be vaguely seen that they are two men and a woman.

Shen Yan asked this photo countless times, but even his attending doctor in the United States couldn't answer this question. He could only tell Shen Yan bluntly: "The sequelae of the hypnosis experiment destroyed part of the memory in your brain. But your information is clean and simple. If it is something or someone you have forgotten, it should be something unimportant. In addition, Shen, I must tell you that it is mentioned in the file that you are an orphan. The person in this photo should not be It will be your family."

His own signature was on the hypnosis experiment list, and everything seemed reasonable. He participated in such an experiment when he was studying and was voluntarily hypnotized, but an accident happened in the experiment.

So who are they?Who is in the photo?

What answered him was a blank in his mind, as the doctor said, he could remember his growth experience from childhood to adulthood, he could remember his scores in various subjects when he was admitted to university, and he could even remember his birthday.But all of this seems to be done by himself only, his life is so empty, on every important day, there is no participation of close relatives.

Over the years, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't recall any trace of this photo.The traces falling on the photo looked so abrupt, as if they had been forcibly erased, deliberately making him forget.

What did he miss?

Shen Yan let out a deep breath, raised his head and drank the last layer of wine in the glass, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the photo without blinking, feeling infinite exhaustion and desolation in his heart.

He didn't believe that the photo was worthless, otherwise he wouldn't have held it tightly in his hand while he was in a hypnotic coma.But if the person in the photo meant a lot to him, how could he forget it completely, and couldn't even remember the slightest clue.

The short-term stimulation of alcohol was gradually fading, Shen Yan glanced at the wall clock on the wall, then picked up the book next to the photo frame, walked to the sofa and lay down on his side.The spine of this book is thick and has suffered a lot of wear and tear. On the cover are gilded English characters, which translates to hypnosis theory.

He has long been used to sleepless nights. Compared with this, what is more difficult is that those figures never even appeared in his dreams.

It seems to be really saying that all of this is his imagination. In the final analysis, in this world, he is only himself.

When Shen Yan woke up, the sky was already bright, and the golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining under the windows of every house.He rubbed the space between his brows, put the bookmark on the book on his knee, and when he got up, his back felt a little sore. Shen Yan thought to himself, maybe he should buy a better recliner.

The wall clock on the wall points to 07:30. Professor Qin has no class today. According to his drinking situation last night, he is probably still awake now.

Shen Yan has just returned to China and is tentatively planning to teach at Q University. However, for the specific position and curriculum arrangement, Teacher Qin said that he will help him design it himself. Now Teacher Qin has not greeted him, and he is not in a hurry to go to school. We'll talk later.

He took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom. This room is a dormitory arranged by Q University. It is the size of a single person living alone. It is simple and bright, which meets his requirements.While standing under the shower head and flushing the water, he closed his eyes and thought about the people he met after returning home. Except for Sun Mingzhe and Qin Chuchu, the faces of the students of Professor Qin were a little blurred, and their names were also in his mind. Faded in color.

What the attending doctor said back then didn't seem to be fooling him. In the past few years, the less impressive people are, the less important people are, and he has never forgotten important people and things.Such as Professor Qin, such as the details of this case, such as Wang Min and Zhan Feng.

He shook the drops of water from his hair, walked into the kitchen and made himself a cup of cereal. While drinking, he took out his mobile phone to reply to a few messages, and deleted the messages from the unfamiliar numbers one by one.While he was sliding his fingertips, the phone suddenly vibrated, and a new text message squeezed in.

"Xiao Shen, hello, I'm Wang Min, are you free now?"

Shen Yan stopped drinking the oatmeal, paused for two seconds, typed a few words nimbly, and pressed the send button.

"Available, what's up with Team Wang?"

Less than 20 seconds after the message was sent, Wang Min called. After Shen Yan picked it up, he heard Wang Min's voice was a little hurried: "Xiao Shen, I'm sorry to disturb you so early, but Professor Qin's phone has been on the phone all the time. I can’t get through. The day before yesterday, you said that you checked the information in the archives, and they recommended someone to me, can you please come to the team now?”

"No problem, but there may be a little traffic jam at this time. I will try my best to go there. Is eight o'clock okay?" Shen Yan held the phone between his shoulders and wiped his hair with a towel. "What did the people from the archives provide?" Any valuable clues?"

"Yes, it's very valuable. When you come over, let's have an interview."
