don't sacrifice

Maicheng is a small coastal city, with the sea breeze blowing freely all year round, and the air always seems to have a salty taste.The days are short and the nights are long. Every time after dark, there are thousands of lights. Although it is not as prosperous as Beihai, it has a special charm.

Zhou Qichen has been here for two years.The police station where he works is short-staffed, but the work is complex and cumbersome.In the first few days after he came here, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.It's just that I gradually got used to the real nine-to-five, and I don't have any other thoughts except work.

He changed his mobile phone number and cut off all contact methods.It seems that only his parents can contact him in this world.And his parents didn't know that he was transferred to Maicheng, and they thought he was with Shen Luli.The elder always urged them to go home at the end of the year to get the certificate, but he also faltered and fooled.

And the only thing related to Beihai is to deposit money into the small white card every month.This is the card number he asked Xiao Xu to ask. Although Xiao Bai has a sum of compensation for the driver who caused the accident, he is still worried that his life will be too tight, so every month he will pay more than half of his living expenses as a community subsidy. I called him in name, never attached a single extra word, and never responded to any inquiry or thank you text message he sent back.

Time flies, midsummer, golden autumn, severe winter, and then two reincarnations... Winter in Maicheng seems to come later than inland, and snow rarely falls.Still the same hurry, still the same alone.Only occasionally when he raised his head in the busyness, he would childishly let out a breath towards the window and stretched out his hand, but he didn't know what to draw in the fleeting white mist on the glass.

The spring break is coming soon, and the urging from the family is getting more and more urgent. His mother has already given an ultimatum - Shen Luli must be brought home this spring break!

This made Zhou Qichen's head double in size. Originally, he wanted to use his busy schedule as an excuse, but his mother said,

"If you are busy, let's go to Beihai to see you! It is also possible to get the certificate in Beihai!"

This was even worse, Zhou Qichen repeatedly refused.Helpless, he could only agree to take Shen Luli home for the New Year.

After hanging up the phone, he raised his head to the sky and howled, where could he find Shen Luli to take him home!Thinking of the hopeful eyes of the elders at home, Zhou Qichen didn't want to let them down, but...

"Tu Tuk Tuk..." At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, and Zhou Qichen hurriedly resumed his normal sitting posture,

"Please come in!"

The door was opened, and a slim woman walked in.Waist-length hair, tied into a ponytail hanging behind her.The eyes are like a mirror lake, and the waves are hidden deep in the bottom of the lake.But looking at that beautiful face, those who don't know it will mistake her for a new intern, but in fact, she will be on her way to the third year in two years.

"Forensic doctor?" Seeing that it was her, Zhou Qichen immediately stood up and entered the working mode.

The woman's name is Kan Zhen, a forensic doctor of the Maicheng detachment.Like Zhou Qichen, she was transferred from Beihai City, but she arrived a year earlier than Zhou Qichen.

"I'm here to send you the forensic report." Kan Zhen nodded to him, then handed him the file bag in her hand.Recently, a serial murder case occurred in Maicheng, and the deceased had his right ear cut off in a strange way, which was called "Van Gogh serial case" on the Internet.Now the city is full of panic, the director has ordered to solve the case as soon as possible and with all his strength.

Zhou Qichen opened the file bag, took out the report and began to study it.

The new deceased was named Lin Sheng, 24 years old, an ordinary community security guard.He was found dead in the security room at twelve o'clock last night. Like the previous four cases, he had his right ear cut off by the murderer.

"...the deceased had multiple stab wounds, with a diameter of about 36 cm; the fatal injury was a stab wound to the left thoracic cavity, which led to the rupture of the heart valve..."

"The time of death was about ten o'clock last night." Kan Zhen said, "But there is one thing that is very strange. He was stabbed to death with a single knife and then stabbed several times in the abdomen... It can be seen that the murderer has a vengeful mentality. "

"This is different from the previous ones." Zhou Qichen frowned slightly, "Before the murderer was killed with a single knife, cut off his ear and left, but this time he made a supplemental knife."

"Could it be that the deceased was special to the murderer?" Kan Zhen asked her question.

Zhou Qichen put down this report, turned around and looked for the previous reports on the bookshelf, "Did you notice the commonality of these dead people?" He turned around and asked.

"They were all men, between the ages of 24 and 34. Their right ears were cut off, and almost all of them were stabbed in the chest to death." Kan Zhen held his chin with his right hand, and propped his right elbow with his left hand. He lowered his head and analyzed, "They They don't know each other, and their occupations are very different... It's time to sort out their social relationship..."

"It's sorted out." Zhou Qichen pushed out a small whiteboard, on which various names and connections were densely written with whiteboard markers.He magnetized the previous report and the new report to the whiteboard, and stared at it for a while with his chin in his hand.

After a while, he said, "From our investigation, it seems that these dead people have problems with their life styles."

"This," he pointed to a photo of a fat man on the whiteboard, "this is the first deceased, Yao Dabei, a small boss of a listed company. He has been reported many times for molesting female subordinates..."

"It's the same with the rest of them. They either molested their subordinates, or harassed their colleagues, and those called Miss." He looked carefully at the people in the photo, and smacked his lips. "I don't know the deceased in this new case..."

"There is no problem with his style." Kan Zhen, who had been listening, said, "They went to investigate this morning. This little security guard is from another place. He is honest and loyal. He has a girlfriend at home and plans to get married next year."

"That's not necessarily..." Zhou Qichen shook his head slightly, "Human, on the surface, there are many others behind. He is from another place, and there are many people here who don't know him very well. Further investigation is needed..."

"I have a simple analysis." Kan Zhen said, "The deceased in this case may have done something that disrespected women, so could the murderer be a woman who was hurt before?"

"Of course, maybe it's not because of these dead people who were hurt, but because you have had such a similar experience?"

"You mean," Zhou Qichen squeezed his chin with his hands, "the murderer was a woman?"

"I think it's very possible." Kan Zhen nodded, "From the perspective of the forensic doctor, although the wounds on these deceased were all killed by one blow, they seem to be a little powerless. Women should be able to do it too."

After these words came out, the office fell silent for a while.Zhou Qichen lowered his head and thought for a while, "Maybe it's like this..."

"Then the next step of the investigation can be on the women who have been harassed or raped by the victim." Kan Zhen looked at the thinking Zhou Qichen with a pair of bright eyes, "I believe that they will be related to the murderer. Because the murderer should be from The daily manners of the dead that they learned from them."

"Okay, then I'll go inform and investigate these women." Zhou Zhou nodded at her, but was stopped by Kan Zhen when he was about to go out.

"Your hair." Kan Zhen stepped forward slowly, frowning and took several strands of hair from Zhou Qichen's white shirt collar.She smiled and handed Zhou Qichen her hair.

"Are you going to lose your hair because of this case?" She said jokingly.

"Not only the case, but also my mother." Zhou Qichen pinched his hair and sighed helplessly, "The case needs to be solved quickly, and the daughter-in-law needs to be found quickly, how can it be so easy!"

"Pfft!" Kan Zhen couldn't help laughing, she and Zhou Qichen walked out of the office side by side, "I didn't expect that such a popular police officer doesn't even have a girlfriend."

"Aren't you the same?" Zhou Qichen joked, "Don't your family rush you?"

"Hurry up!" Kanzhen raised her head and sighed, "Just like you, the dead should be seen quickly, and the husband should be married quickly. It's not easy."
