Seven days

Into the hospital.Ye Xin ran back and threw the car keys on the little glasses with red eyes, "Hurry up and get out, fill up the gas for your boss when the car is used up, and drive carefully on the road, my new car doesn't get scratched. It's ugly. I don't want to see you anymore this week."

It was a holiday for him and he was worried that he would drive in a hurry regardless of safety. Xiao Xu smiled gratefully, explained the afternoon work in a few words, took the keys and hurried away.

In the middle of the night, Ye Xin, who was prepared to be empty and lonely, was hugged tightly by the man who got into the bed with steam.

Ye Xin woke up in a jerk and hugged the opponent's muscular waist with his backhand, muttering: "Your man is about to be strangled to death by you."

At this time, Tang Haojun couldn't hear Ye Xin's death because he could hear everything. He strengthened his arms and babbled a little, "What did you say about death in New Year's Eve?

Ye Xin turned over and raised his head, staring in confusion, the room was pitch black and he couldn't see what was going on, he was mostly sleepy, "Is something wrong?"

Tang Haojun reached out and pressed Ye Xin's head to his chest, rubbing the back of his head with his big palm familiarly, and said in a low voice, "No, go to sleep."

Two hours ago, Xiao Zhou, a policewoman who was in charge of taking notes for witnesses, pointed to a passage in the statement of the shop assistant, “Last week, an old man aged 70 or [-] was sitting in front of the clothing store, and the deceased Ji Shanshan (the proprietress) threw After spending ten yuan on the old man, Ji Shanshan yelled at the old man within a few minutes because the old man said that Ji Shanshan was going to die and had a few days to live, so it was better to give him all the money."

Xiaozhou asked: "Captain, this old man is very suspicious, do you want to ask him?"

Colleague Wu Qiang sneered, "It's just a fortune teller. In the afternoon, I checked the evidence and made inquiries. Several people said that the old man was crazy and cursed people to death. I don't think he has a mental problem, or he is pretending to be a master to cheat money."

Ye Xin's words from yesterday flashed through Tang Haojun's mind, and he felt inexplicably uneasy, so he arranged for the team members to find the old man as soon as possible.Subsequently, the man who was supposed to spend the night in the office drove home overnight.

On the bed, Ye Xin fell into darkness again, but Tang Haojun beside him opened his eyes and held the young man in his arms tightly, without sleep all night.

Note.

Scene: The murderer cleaned up, murdered for money and raped and killed were ruled out, the murderer's fingerprints were on the clothes of the deceased.

Road monitoring: normal, need further investigation.

Day3.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in room 301 of the rental house in the West District, the landlord led the new tenant to unlock and enter the door.In less than 10 minutes, the pupils of the new tenant who was about to check the bathroom shrank suddenly, and screamed in horror as he staggered back.

The narrow bathroom was stained beyond recognition by Yin Hong's blood. In the stained toilet, a wet head was placed in it, and the torso completely separated from the head fell on the ground. The pungent and disgusting rust smell began to spread and permeate the whole room for rent...

Three hours later, Ye Xin put down the hot water in his hand, and couldn't hide his surprise: "Why are you here?"

Tang Haojun frowned, and Ye Xin shuddered.Yesterday, I just saw the rigorous appearance of the other party in handling the case. At this time, Tang Haojun's expression was the same as yesterday.

The [-]-square-meter store is decorated in gray and white, with a blue-gray men's scarf resting on the back of the chair in the seating area.Tang Haojun calmly swept the fur balls on the cheap scarves, and then went to the glass display case to wipe the Nuxin wood-carved God of Wealth, which was given by Ye Xin when he opened the business. The tense eyebrows and eyes relaxed a little, "Xu Mingxun is not here?"

"Xiao Xu's mother was hospitalized, and he left yesterday. I gave him a week off." After Ye Xin answered, his expression froze, "What happened to Xiao Xu?"

Tang Haojun nodded and gestured outward again.A few seconds later, Xiao Zhou, Wu Qiang, and two other plainclothes policemen with raw faces walked into the store quickly.

The blue-gray scarf was put into the transparent evidence collection bag by the gloved hand, followed by some daily necessities that Xu Mingxun put in the store. Without Ye Xin's prompting, Tang Haojun quickly ordered everyone to separate Xiao Xu's things from Ye Xin's personal belongings , without missing anything.

Tang Haojun took off his gloves and took the steaming water cup from Ye Xin's hand, "Xu Mingxun's co-tenant died, and Xiao Xu can't be contacted now."

A male face of Zhou Zheng flashed in his mind, and Ye Xin asked in astonishment: "Is Zhang Youbin dead?"

Tang Haojun nodded, "I was found dead in the house shared with Xu Mingxun this morning. I can't say more about the rest. Ye Xin, I will record a statement for you in accordance with the regulations. You can tell me about Xiao Xu's affairs in the past few days. Get it sorted, I need your help."

"That's not right, Xiao Xu said that Zhang Youbin's barber shop arranged a trip for New Year's Day, and he left the day before yesterday."

Everyone on the side memorized this key point in their hearts.

The news came too suddenly, before Ye Xin could react, his thoughts were once again disrupted by the clues he provided.How could someone who was supposed to be out of town suddenly die at home?Judging from the current situation, when Zhang Youbin died, Xiao Xu who lived with him must be the most suspicious.The cup in Tang Haojun's hand was taken back by Ye Xin. He took a few sips unconsciously and handed it back habitually.

Xiao Zhou and Wu Qiang continued to work as if they were not aware of it, while the other two criminal policemen looked back and forth between Ye Xin and their team leader.

Hearing the word "help" from the man who has lived together for three years, if it wasn't for the serious situation today, Ye Xin would have taken the opportunity to charge more interest with a frowning expression of "you have to beg my master someday".

After Ye Xin quickly digested the sudden situation, he touched his nose and provided the police with clues about the relationship between Xiao Xu and Zhang Youbin as a male couple. The fun when packing, Xiao Xu’s usual guilty conscience when he was late yesterday, wearing the clothes he hadn’t changed for a day, and leaving thinking that the completed electronic orders will be delivered today...

Ye Xin couldn't help making a subjective analysis while sorting out, "I don't think there's anything wrong with Xiao Xu these days. Last week for Zhang Youbin's birthday, he even asked for a day off. The two of them went to dinner that day and brought me a Here comes a piece of cake."

Tang Haojun: "The specific time?"

Ye Xin: "Last Wednesday, I remember very clearly that the cake was chestnut-flavored, and that cake shop sold a limited number of cakes on that day every week. Xiao Xu worked in my shop for four years, and in the second year, I met Zhang Youbin as a friend. In the past three years, I really haven't heard that Xiao Xu complained about Zhang Youbin's bad..."

The questioning process went smoothly, with questions from Tang Haojun and notes from Xiaozhou.At the end, Tang Haojun touched the back of his head for encouragement.Xiaozhou and Wu Hao exchanged eyes full of dog food, and the eyes of the remaining two criminal policemen flashed understanding, and then they all looked at each other and came to the conclusion that this is the captain's person.

On the way back to the bureau, Wu Hao answered the phone, "Boss, the preliminary autopsy results of the forensic doctor showed that Zhang Youbin died between [-] o'clock the night before and one o'clock in the morning, and there were anesthetics in his blood. The barber shop manager Zhang Youbin worked for According to the information provided by the surrounding people, the store is indeed on New Year’s Day holiday to arrange travel, but the relevant personnel have not been contacted yet.”

"Xu Mingxun went home at eleven o'clock that day. A traffic policeman named Ding Yu also lived in that building. He was the last person to see Xu Mingxun the night before. Xu Mingxun was around three o'clock in the afternoon. He disappeared after he got out of the hospital, and Ye Xin's car was in the parking lot. Although the evidence is still being searched, all signs show that Xu Mingxun is suspicious." Xiao Zhou flipped through the investigation notes to conclude, and then looked at him from the moment he got into the car. Tang Haojun closed his eyes and rested his mind, "Xu Mingxun is a child of a single-parent family and an only child. Xu's mother said he is very filial. Moreover, a pair of male rings were found in Zhang Youbin's clothes. Captain, I always feel that something is wrong."

Tang Haojun pointed out succinctly: "The motive and method of killing. If Xu Mingxun is not the murderer, he is likely to be the next victim. Xiaozhou, after returning to the game, immediately contact the relevant departments to find out Xu Mingxun's whereabouts. Wu Qiang, find out Go to the barber shop immediately after visiting the place to investigate..."

Everyone was stunned, and they all answered yes.

This night, the entire Wenzhou Criminal Investigation Brigade stayed up all night.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the reservoir in the outskirts of the city.Xu Mingxun, who was so cold and white, had his feet tied up, and half of his body was submerged in the water. His hands, which were clinging to the embankment to support his life, were stained with Yin Hong's blood, and his trembling was full of despair.The huge stone connected to the rope on the feet was moved little by little, and the god of death was walking towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The black glasses disappeared, and the dry, red and swollen eyes showed the desire for life and the fear of death, ferocious and broken, Xu Mingxun roared hoarsely: "I beg you, please, my mother is in the hospital, She only has me, I beg you, please, let me go..."

With a splash, the boulder sank into the water.The black head disappeared from the water surface, and the rising blisters changed from more to less until they completely dissipated.Except for a ray of innocent souls in the water, the tranquility of the reservoir has not been broken.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and waves gradually rose on the calm water surface. A black head broke through the water layer in the dark water, and the sound of the water was rushing. Xu Mingxun's whole body seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, soaring above the water.Dark red blood flowed down the ferocious facial features and bloody neck.With a pale face and blood-red eyes without pupils, Xiao Xu looked at him with his mouth open and made no sound, but Ye Xin knew he was saying: Boss, boss, help, help me...

Ye Xin woke up from the nightmare covered in cold sweat, and dialed a well-known
