Lao Zhou was about to retire, he was getting old, his physical strength was failing, and he couldn't bear the night-to-night overtime work, so he retired from the front line of criminal investigation and transferred to the detention center.At the beginning, he had the opportunity to stay in the city bureau as a leisurely civilian job, and he devoted his whole life to the post. In the last few years, he just drank tea and read newspapers to pass the time.

No one thought it was wrong, but he refused.

After deliberating over and over again, he applied to transfer his post to a detention center, and patrolled step by step every day to check the status of each suspect.Before retreating completely, he wanted to take another look at what happened to these people he had fought for all his life.

But in this world of all kinds, all kinds of people have been bred. There are thousands of ordinary people, and there are also thousands of people who have made mistakes.Within this high wall, some of those who lost their freedom made him wish to get rid of them quickly, while some made him unbearable.

A little girl came to the detention center today, and she belongs to the latter category.

Lao Zhou was very concerned, because during the handover, he heard from his colleagues that the girl turned herself in by herself.

She calmly pushed open the door of the Criminal Investigation Brigade's office, and said to the people inside: "I killed someone, and now I surrender myself."

"There was a man who followed me and harassed me for seven days. I couldn't take it anymore, so I killed him." After saying this, she fell silent, stretched out a pair of white and slender hands to the person, and caught him without a fight.

To be honest, she didn't look like she could kill at all.She was born in a happy family, her parents are Gaozhi, they doted on her very much, and raised her to be a gentle, courteous, humble and self-reliant girl.

Since she was a child, she has been a child of someone else's family. She was a gifted student at school. After graduation, she successfully entered a company with good prospects. Now she is a small supervisor, and her future is bright.

Why would such a person kill someone?

Besides, she is thin and thin, and she doesn't like sports very much. She can't carry her shoulders with her typical hands, and she probably hasn't even killed a fish until now.

However, it was such a helpless girl who killed a man who had followed her for nearly a year.

Lao Zhou sighed, thinking: maybe she has a lot of grievances and helplessness, and she can't tell them.

Then, she was sent here.

Before leaving get off work, Lao Zhou planned to visit her to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Lao Zhou admitted that he was moved with compassion.It was a girl who was about the same age as his niece, and she didn't know what she had gone through to get to where she is today.

A few days ago, a very serious incident happened in the prison. A girl died strangely in the cell, and her death was tragic.Lao Zhou remembered that she was also a girl who had been persecuted. The world is difficult, and it is not easy for any of these girls.

Lao Zhou was not on duty that day, but the entire detention center was under martial law after the accident.Lao Zhou muttered in his heart: I really don't know how the murderer did it, it was obviously a single room.

This girl is the same, no one helped her before she made a mistake, but after she got to this point, many people sympathized with her, especially after what happened before, Lao Zhou's leader specially arranged a clean and safe place for her single.

Lao Zhou walked slowly towards the single cell, but as soon as he approached, he smelled a strange smell. After thinking about it, it was a bit like the smell of his wife's burnt meat a few days ago...

The keen sixth sense formed in the front line of criminal investigation all the year round burst out, he was startled, and rushed to the door in a few steps, and the scene in front of him stunned him.

The girl named Xue Qi is gone.

She stayed in her cell in a single room, burned to a charred corpse.The last movement of her life was frozen there—a curled up posture with her face covered, as if she was crying, but also as if she was powerless in the face of danger, and she could only protect herself in this way.

…………

When Lu Yu received Qin Fen's call, he thought it was Xia Xincheng who had a clue about what happened, but after answering the call, he realized it was something else.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Fen spoke with a serious tone, and discussed with him that there was a case that he wanted to transfer to him.

"What case?" Lu Yu stirred the fried noodles in front of him with chopsticks, and suddenly said in his heart, "It can't be another murder in a secret room, right?" 98% of the cases he took over from Qin Fen were murders in a secret room. Not at all creative.

"..." Qin Fen was at a loss for words, "...Listen to me, although on the surface, it is indeed a murder case in a secret room, but this time it must be different, this case is very special!"

Lu Yu disagrees: "You say that every time."

"It's definitely different this time!" Qin Fen assured Lu Yu, patting his chest where he couldn't see it.

Lu Yu's eyeballs rolled around, and he suggested, "Can your police hold a training class for detecting murders in secret rooms? Go and sign up."

"Hey! Listen to me!" Qin Fen was impatient.

As soon as Lu Yu looked up, he saw Yan Ting walking over with the last dish of their breakfast. He stood up, supported the table with both hands, leaned over, and kissed the corner of Yan Ting's lips.

Yan Ting freed up a hand, clasped Lu Yu's chin, and pecked lightly on his lips: "Baby, don't bully Captain Qin."

Lu Yu replied silently, "Of order", then turned his head and let go of Qin Fen: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, let's talk about the specific situation."

The two were close, so Qin Fen naturally heard Yan Ting's words. If he hadn't asked for Lu Yu, he, a single person who has been fighting in the front line all year round, really wanted to spit out this mouthful of dog food in minutes, and then said: "Take it!" Take back your dog food, I won’t eat it!”

But the imagination is full, but the reality is skinny.

In fact, Captain Qin only dared to think about it in his head to have a good time. On the surface, he had to pretend that he hadn't heard anything, and started his own topic: "Lu Yu, do you still remember when we met that day, That girl I told you about?"

"The girl who killed the online car-hailing driver, right? I even praised her." Lu Yu has a good memory. Although it has been a few days since the date of the dinner appointment, he quickly recalled that conversation from his memory. Turned out.

"Yes, it's her." Qin Fen paused, his tone a bit heavy, "Something happened to her."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yu couldn't help asking along the topic, he had praised the girl for being amazing at that time, and he was also a little curious about the follow-up of this matter.

Qin Fen said in a deep voice, "...he died, died in the detention center."

"Huh?!" Lu Yu was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "How did you die?"

"This is the strangest part. She was a girl and she had to kill someone, so the person who sent her to the detention center specially arranged for her and arranged a single room for her, for fear that she would be bullied by other prisoners. " Qin Fen let out a long breath, "But she is still dead."

Lu Yu frowned, and asked again: "What is the cause of death?"

Qin Fen paused for a long time before saying, "Being raped and murdered, the death condition is very miserable."

Lu Yu said: "You said it was a secret room murder because no one had entered her cell, right?"

"Yes, we have checked the surveillance, and no one has entered her cell, and the cell doors of the detention center are equipped with electronic locks, and all switches are recorded, and we have not found any record of the door opening and closing after she entered the cell. "

Lu Yu got a little excited and urged Qin Fen: "Any other details? Go on."

"There are people in the cells around her. We have inquired carefully. From the last round of the cell to the discovery of her body, no one has heard any movement." Qin Fen continued to add details to Lu Yu, "The most strange The most important point is that there are many injuries on her body, which do not match the conditions of the crime scene. For example, there are many scratches on her limbs in different shades, all of which are new injuries. After identification, they are caused by grass blades and low bushes Yes, there are none in these detention centers."

"It means that the cell is not the first scene. I know I don't work in your line of business." Lu Yu thought for a while, and gave Qin Fen some ideas in an "understanding" manner.

"Wake up, surveillance is not for display. You should watch less of those messy detective dramas, surveillance is not so easy to manipulate." Captain Qin sadly reprimanded Lu Yu for underestimating the IQ of their front-line investigators.

"Okay." Lu Yu compromised, "Is there anything strange, you said it once and for all!"

Qin Fen paused: "There is one more thing, which is also the main reason why I made up my mind to come to you."

"What?" Lu Yu's curiosity was completely aroused.

"Because of the strange cause of death, we conducted an autopsy on her with the consent of the family, and found an unbelievable thing—her death time was earlier than the ride-hailing driver who was killed by her. "Qin Fen said seriously.

"???" Even Lu Yu was a little surprised at the moment.

"This is so strange! The murderer died earlier than the victim, so who killed whom?" Qin Fen asked.

"It's a bit weird, but it's not to the extent that it's worth handing over to me, right?" Lu Yu analyzed it rationally, "Have you ever considered that maybe it was because of some environmental factors at the first scene that affected the treatment of her?" The judgment of the time of death?"

"We also considered this, so we didn't hand over this case to you immediately until the day before yesterday..."

"The day before yesterday?" Lu Yu keenly extracted the key words, "What happened the day before yesterday?"

"The day before yesterday, another girl came to surrender, saying that she had killed her suitor who had been following her and tried to persecute her. But on the night when we handed her over to the detention center, she was burned to the ground in the cell. A charred corpse. Her condition is almost exactly the same as that of the previous deceased."
