sneak peek

In the early hours of the morning, it rained suddenly, and the sound of the pattering rain occasionally mixed with the sound of thunder made it difficult to fall asleep.The city that has not rained for many days has become wet without any precautions, and it looks a little embarrassed.The sleepless person who just got home after working overtime for many days only hoped that Lei Sheng could be quieter so that he could have a good sleep.The young lovers hope that the thunderstorm will not ruin their sweet date tomorrow.

A bolt of lightning struck and briefly illuminated the hall of a family on the third floor of this old community. There was a handsome young man lying on the ground. He tilted his head and had lost his breath for a long time. His soulless eyes were pointing at the hall. a dark corner of theThere was a person trembling slightly, as if afraid or excited.The man's whole body was buried in the darkness, like a black cat that merged with the night.

If you listen carefully, you may hear an eerie heartbeat in the corner.

"From tomorrow, a newcomer will join your team." Pan Weiren said gently to Gu Yexi.

Gu Yexi's eyelids began to twitch nonsensically, and they twitched wildly on both sides.

Pan Weiren is the chief of the city's police station. He has a small belly when he reaches middle age. After failing to lose weight three times, he is now broken. A high-calorie supper on the table is the best evidence.He wears a pair of reading glasses with gold-rimmed round frames, which are slightly exaggerated, and he looks like a big villain in a comedy movie.

Gu Yexi, the captain of Team 1 of the serious crime team, has a good skin but only focuses on criminals. Nian Fang is a bachelor in his thirties. With his extraordinary psychological analysis ability, he is the yellow card of the serious crime team.The fortune teller said that he needs a cheap name to raise him. His parents thought about it for a long time and named him Yexi, but they don't know if the sisters who registered their names were too literary, or something went wrong, and the big-hearted father didn't. After checking, the last boarded name became Gu Yexi.My mother was always worried that the name was too majestic and would not be able to grow up, but he himself liked the name quite a bit. In his original words: it sounds like a suave person.

Pan Weiren's greatest interest in normal times is to yell at Gu Yexi, the proud student he brought out with his own hands.So at this moment, his attitude is so amiable, but it makes Gu Yexi uncomfortable.

His first reaction was that the newcomer stuffed in was definitely a relative of the royal family.

Sure enough, Pan Weiren took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Newcomer, you have to take care of him carefully. He is the son of an old friend of ours."

Because of the 20-year age difference between the two, they don't have many mutual friends, let alone old friends whose son is of working age.Obviously, this among us does not include Gu Yexi.

Gu Yexi raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Us?"

Pan Weiren took out a yellowed photo in the drawer, in which a young man with a simple and honest smile was holding a newborn child.

"Mo Wang, his father was also in the serious crime team a long time ago. He died in a mission, and his mother died of illness not long after. Afterwards, he was taken care of by his grandparents. He was only four years old at that time. Our generation and his Everyone my father is familiar with treats him as his own nephew."

Gu Yexi spread her hands, "Then, do you want me to take care of the child?"

The gentleness on Pan Weiren's face immediately fell to his belly, "Although he has no experience, he has good abilities. Will I still cheat you? I just want you to fulfill the responsibility of the captain and lead the younger generation."

Gu Yexi thought to himself, are you cheating me less?

He said a little aggrieved: "I'm not the only one in the serious crime team, why do I have to lead it?"

"The police academy said that they want to find some experienced criminal policemen to hold a meeting..." Pan Weiren knew that Gu Yexi hated such occasions the most.

Sure enough, Gu Yexi immediately changed his words, "I will definitely take care of this newcomer."

Pan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "He just moved out of the house, and the apartment opposite you just happened to be vacant, so I let him rent it in."

Gu Yexi:? ? ? ? ?Nani? ? ?

"It's okay to watch him at work, but you still have to take care of the kids after get off work? Ju Pan, are you looking for a team member for me, or a partner for me?"

Pan put on an innocent face, "Don't you often say that your apartment building is safe, comfortable, and cost-effective? In the words of you young people, I have eaten your Amway!"

Gu Yexi gritted her teeth helplessly, the kitten didn't dare to get angry in front of the tiger, so she could only mmp in her heart and smile on her face.

As soon as Gu Yexi returned to the office, all the gossiping team members surrounded him. Among them, Meng Ning, the most gossip, asked, "Boss, what is Bureau Pan looking for you for? Is he going to give you a promotion and a raise?"

Gu Yexi sat down on the desk, picked up someone's coffee and drank it, "The promotion and salary increase are shit, there will be a newcomer in the team tomorrow."

Huang Jiade was surprised: "Rookie? I heard that the next team has applied for several times but failed to get a newcomer. Why are they now stuffed into our team instead?"

Gu Yexi glanced at him, "Old man Pan said that the good-looking ones should be put together, and the newcomer is a handsome guy, so I will share it with me."

Meng Ning raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard the word handsome guy, "Really? How handsome is he? Is there any boss so handsome?"

With a donut in his mouth as a plum for supper, he seized the opportunity to flatter him, "Boss is a flower in our serious case, how could he be more handsome than him?"

Gu Yexi smirked, "Oh, so I'm so handsome in your heart. Are you secretly in love with me? Don't be shy, speak out boldly, I'm sure, I will reject you."

Li Zi pouted greasy mouth to kiss Gu Yexi's face, "Look, I'm not married, you're not married, otherwise, just follow me."

"Get out." Gu Yexi pushed Li Zi away, then snatched his last donut, stuffed it into his mouth and said inarticulately: "Stop making trouble, new case, what's going on?"

Meng Ning handed him the case information, "Two weeks ago on Sunday morning, 26-year-old Wang Ming died in his own home. He lived alone. The time of death was around 1 am. The cause of death was poisoning. The traces of beatings are all caused after death. In the early morning of last Sunday, 25-year-old Lin Shanyin also died at home. I thought it was a serial murder case, so I turned it over to us."

Gu Yexi stared at the autopsy report, "There are a large number of stab wounds by sharp objects on the arms and thighs, and there are shallow scratches on many arms; the stomach and buttocks were kicked many times, and there were belts on the thighs. Traces. Are these all caused after death?"

Meng Ning nodded: "Yes, all of them. By the way, the forensic doctor said that the stab wounds and scratches may have been caused by objects similar to sewing needles."

Huang Jiade flipped through the photos of the corpse, and couldn't help frowning, "With so many injuries, the murderer is obviously very angry, revenge?"

Li Zi expressed his opinion: "It may also be a sadist."

Gu Yexi shook his head: "Whether it's revenge or sadism, the deceased should be beaten before he dies. Why wait until he can't feel the pain?"

Meng Ning: "Maybe, it's because you're afraid of being heard by the neighbors around you?"

Gu Yexi spread his hands, "Then you can gag him, or take him somewhere else to beat him!"

Li Zi: "Perhaps, the murderer couldn't take him to other places?"

"Well, there's a possibility," Gu Yexi flipped through the autopsy report, "The deceased didn't have any defensive wounds? No signs of being tied up?"

Meng Ning shook his head: "No."

Gu Yexi looked at the time, it was already very late, he rubbed his neck, and said: "If there is no accident, there will be another corpse in the early morning of this Sunday, today is Monday, we must wait for the third dead to appear Find the murderer before now. It’s getting late, everyone will take all the case information home and study it carefully, take a good rest, and have a meeting at 8:[-] tomorrow morning.”

Gu Yexi went back to the front of her house and took out the keys, suddenly smiled wretchedly, and looked back at the apartment opposite, there was light coming through the crack of the door, it seemed that Mo Wang had already moved in.

He scratched his stomach, suddenly curious.

Gu Yexi: This old man Pan, just give me someone.This blind date also has to meet first, and I was told at the last moment that a newcomer was coming.How about I inspect the goods first?

He turned backwards in a standard way, took a big step, and arrived at the door of Mo Wang's house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response.

Um?not at home?

He knocked twice more, still no response.

Yo?Knocking on the door should not be done. It is reasonable to suspect that there is danger. It should be fine to go in and have a look, right?

He rolled his eyes, looked left and right for a while, and directly opened the door and went in.When he first became a policeman, he often dealt with thieves. Once he was bored on the night shift, so he learned a few tricks from a thief. Since then, there has been no lock that he can't pick.

After Gu Yexi pried the lock open, she first opened a small slit, and glanced through the door with one eye for a few seconds, but she didn't see anyone in the room.Then he opened the door openly and walked in.

There are not many things in the apartment, and it is neatly tidied up. He may be a very clean person, but it may also be because it is the first day of moving in.

There are no personal decorations in the living room. Everything comes from the apartment. The kitchen is full of tools, such as a coffee machine, oven, microwave oven, and various sauces. It seems that he is a gourmet expert.

The door of the bedroom was ajar. Although Gu Yexi was skinny, he had a sense of proportion, so the privacy inside would not be prying.

He put the case materials on the coffee table casually, wandered around the living room, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Who?!"

Gu Yexi turned around and saw a figure wrapped in a towel just after taking a shower. Immediately, the face and the white wall came into close and fierce contact.Gu Yexi seemed to be able to hear the "click" of his own bones, and couldn't help but sigh, the young people nowadays are in good health.

He quickly thought about why this embarrassing situation occurred, and remembered that the bathrooms in the apartment were all in the bedroom, so he didn't notice that Mo Wang was taking a bath in the room just now, what a fool.

But he didn't work as a criminal police officer for nothing for so many years, how could he be so easily restrained, he easily broke free from Mo Wang, and conveniently tore off the towel wrapped around his body.

After the only cloth on his body was taken away, Mo Wang was visibly stunned. His hair was a little curly, and behind his wet bangs there was an angry eye faintly exposed, like a lion cub with a scalded head. .

Gu Yexi took the opportunity to look at the other party: This little curly hair is quite cute.The figure is also pretty good, the abdominal muscles look like they have been trained, and the skills are not bad, it seems that my reputation for serious cases is about to die.

Seeing the other party staring at him, Mo Wang immediately adjusted his posture and rushed forward to beat Gu Yexi.

Gu Yexi didn't want to fight with him. In case of injury, old man Pan would blame him, but it would be difficult to explain. After a coquettish walk away, he immediately said, "Gu Yexi, your new captain."

Hearing what he said, Mo Wang stopped attacking, but his eyes were still vigilant.

Gu Yexi took out his police ID and threw it over, "Look for yourself."

Mo Wang took a serious look before he believed the other party.In fact, he had seen a photo of Gu Yexi before, but in the photo, Gu Yexi straightened his hair and smiled at the camera innocently, looking like a standard policeman; but the man in front of him at this moment has a beard and a hair on his head for some reason. His hair stood on end, and his hippie smile looked like a prodigal son. I really can't blame him for not recognizing him.

Because Gu Yexi broke in through the door, he was a little guilty after all. In order to cover up his "crime", he found a reason that sounded very reasonable, "I know, you will report tomorrow. But we just took over a serial Murder case, Mr. Pan... Director Pan said that you live across from me, so I will give you the information by the way, and let you take a look at it tonight."

Mo Wang followed Gu Yexi's gaze, and there was indeed a document on his coffee table.

"Well, let me tell you, I knocked on the door several times just now, but you didn't respond. I saw that there was light inside, and it was all on point. People should be at home but they didn't answer the door. I thought something happened. I came in by breaking the door because I was worried about you. Even though you haven’t officially joined the team, you are considered one of my people. If you are in danger, I must come in, right? I broke in by breaking the door, but also It’s very understandable, isn’t it? In other words, your security awareness is not enough! You can’t hear me knocking on the door so loudly. Fortunately, it’s me. What if it’s some bad guy? Although, you are It’s quite capable, but you should be more vigilant, right? However, the design of this apartment building is really not very good. The bathroom is inside the bedroom, so it’s hard to hear the outside sound when taking a shower, or you should install a surveillance camera in the living room. Install a monitor in the bathroom so that you can stare at it." Gu Yexi likes to talk nonsense in a serious manner when he has a guilty conscience, and the more guilty he becomes, the more he talks, and he didn't notice Mo Wang's redness until he finished talking a lot. wrinkled face.

Gu Yexi looked at the towel in his hand and realized that the other party was standing naked and listening to his lecture.

Gu Yexi thought to himself, there is really no worse first meeting than this.

He said with a little embarrassment: "Well, uh, this, although it's April, it's still quite cold at night, why don't you go get dressed first?"

Mo Wang nodded with a stiff neck, and immediately slipped into the bedroom.

Gu Yexi reflected on what he had done, and finally felt a little pain in his conscience. After much deliberation, he decided - 36 steps is the best plan, let the embarrassment dissipate in time, and hope that Mo Wang will wake up in the morning and take Forgot about tonight.

And, don't tell Old Man Pan.This is the point.

After Mo Wang rushed back to the room, the first thing he did was not put on his clothes but looked in the mirror. When he saw his flushed face, he felt even more embarrassed, so his face turned even redder.

At first when the towel was ripped off, because he thought he was fighting the bad guys, he had an adrenaline rush and didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he knew that the person standing opposite was his new captain, and he was standing naked, his face began to get hot uncontrollably.He wanted to go back to the bedroom to get dressed, but Gu Yexi couldn't stop talking, and he was embarrassed to interrupt him.I just hope that Gu Yexi won't see him blushing and think he is an overly shy person.

But the self in the mirror told him very clearly that the other party must have seen it.

It suddenly occurred to him that he had beaten up the new captain just now, so he couldn't help but cover his face.

Such a first meeting is really too bad.

This silly boy was fooled by Gu Yexi so that he didn't realize it at all. In fact, he did nothing wrong, and it was all Gu Yexi's fault.

He quickly got dressed, then went to the bathroom to wash his face vigorously with cold water, opened the window to blow a cool breeze, and then walked back to the living room.

Gu Yexi had already left, and a note was pasted on the door, which was a four-panel cartoon.

The first frame shows a clock, and the time is 8 o'clock; the second frame is in the corridor, with a curly-haired figure standing; the third frame is still in the corridor, and beside the curly-haired figure, there is an extra face with " The villain with the character "handsome"; the last frame is on the road, and the two villains are in the car.

Gu Yexi's painting style is very cute, not the kind of soul painter, more like a two-year-old child, but a two-year-old child who draws well.

Mo Wang couldn't help laughing.

A bad first encounter finally had a happy ending.
