This is the West District of T City, a residential area that is almost forgotten by people. The dilapidated buildings here seem to be blown down by strong winds at any time.

In the evening, the air smells of wind and rain.The rushing and slowing wind fiddled with these old doors and windows, making creaking sounds from time to time.

In this residential area, there is a side-facing residential building, and the wall skin is mottled due to age.

A woman hurriedly climbed up to the fourth floor. Her heavily made-up face was full of excitement and tension. Under the light of the sensor lights that appeared and disappeared in the corridor, it made people feel a little creepy.

The woman opened a door on the left side of the fourth floor with a key with an iron pocket, and reached out to turn on the light in the living room with ease.

Although it was not dark yet, the light in the room was very dark.

She didn't take off her shoes, but tiptoed into the bedroom on the right with her stiletto heels, and called out a name, "Sui Xin? Sui Xin?"

Turn on the light in the room, no one is inside.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to the chest of drawers near the window.

The door behind her was slowly closed.A tall and thin figure wrapped himself in black came behind the woman with two strides.Before the woman felt someone behind her, the man's slender arm suddenly stretched out to wrap around the woman's upper body, and the other hand tightly covered the woman's mouth and nose.

The woman smelled a slightly sweet pungent smell.

The woman instinctively tried to push away the hands that were covering her, and kicked her feet vigorously, but she just kicked the chest of drawers in front of her, and the things on the chest of drawers were knocked down.

The woman struggled, her terrified eyes seeing only a black T-shirt sleeve.When she wrestled and turned around, she saw a pair of equally frightened eyes.

Not long after the struggle lasted, the room became quiet again.

Outside the window, the storm fell.

Ke Ran woke up from his dream, already drenched in sweat.

He looked around in a trance, making sure that he was safe now, before he relaxed his tense nerves.

He reached for the remote control of the air conditioner from the bedside table, adjusted the temperature from 25 degrees to 27 degrees, then almost escaped and left the bed, went into the bathroom and locked the three locks on the door behind his back, and hurried into the bathroom.

It wasn't until the cold water washed over his body that he felt alive.

After a light knock on the door, a hesitant female voice asked, "Ke Ran, are you okay? It rained yesterday, did you catch a cold?"

After hesitating for a while, Ke Ran opened the door and replied in a slightly hoarse voice that it's okay.

When there was no movement outside the door, Ke Ran went back to the bathroom.

Of course he will have nothing to do today, and he can't have anything to do. He has been waiting for so long, and he can't wait any longer.

At 9:24 am on September [-], near Yonghe Bridge.

A few policemen were standing next to the isolation zone and kept persuading the dozen or so grandpas and aunts who were watching around not to squeeze forward. Two people held their cameras up high and were about to take pictures. educate:

"If you spread the photos, if the murderer is alerted, who will be responsible?"

Inside the isolation zone, a man wearing a cleaner's clothes was telling Liu Hecheng what he had discovered in a loud voice, spitting stars flying around, Liu Hecheng dodged while recording.

The fished-up body and branches lay beside the bridge, concealed by a battered canvas tied between two trees.

Yuan Che stood by the bridge, looked at the onlookers with his ears out, tried his best to make himself stand upright, with an easy-going expression.

He was dragged to see the corpse early in the morning, and his mood was as bad as the sky that was still overcast.

Yuan Che looked down at his stained clothes, which were full of traces of hangover, not to mention the splitting headache that only he knew at the moment.

He stroked the hair that was suppressed wantonly, and felt that the handsome and unrestrained image he worked so hard to maintain had been ruined.

For this, he would also like to thank Guo Turong—the person who will become his former partner, who dragged him naked from the bed, forced half a bowl of porridge, and did not forget to put on his clothes before dragging him out. clothing.

Then look at Guo Turong, dressed in neat clothes, talking to the short-haired policewoman Liu Lingling in a refreshed manner. Such a sharp contrast is probably envious of Yuan Che's usual limelight in front of the policewomen, taking the opportunity to elevate himself.

Forget it, since Guo Turong won't be able to stay for a few days, Yuan Che decided not to remember the villains.

Yuan Che dragged his open-toed shoes around the corpse dumping site, glanced at the distorted corpse behind the cloth, turned his face away to contend with the rolling sensation in his stomach, and then, he saw Curran.

The boy standing next to the corpse was wearing a white shirt with short sleeves and dark colored trousers. From the back, his hair looked like he had just cut it, and he was carrying a black bag on his back.If you only look at his back and say that he is a college student, he looks old, at most he looks like a high school student wearing a student uniform.

This person stood in a very casual posture, relaxed and natural as if he was strolling leisurely, instead of facing the extremely twisted corpse whose stomach had been pierced by branches.

Yuan Che was annoyed, and walked towards the police: "How could you let students in? Hurry up, this is not a place to watch the excitement."

He had never met Ke Ran before, and seeing unrelated people at the scene of the crime, he finally found an outlet to vent his pent-up anger.

The policeman looked back, and looked at Yuan Che with grievances on his face: "But, he came here with a certificate, saying that he is from the criminal police team."

Yuan Che blinked and remembered that Guo Turong seemed to have said in the morning that there would be a newcomer coming today, and his name seemed to be Ke Ran.

Yuan Che rolled his eyes. Since when did the crime squad of the criminal police team become a kindergarten?

He left the policeman and walked towards the "student". The "student" seemed to hear footsteps and looked back at Yuan Che.

Seeing this person and this face, Yuan Che couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "Damn it."

If it weren't for the fact that the group of uncles and aunts who are less than three meters away from him are good things, and he wanted to maintain his image as a people's policeman, Yuan Che would really blurt out a series of obscene words to describe his mood at the moment.

It's not because the person opposite him is so obnoxious.In fact, the man in front of him was the one he preferred to look at among the men he had met, or the one who looked comfortable, but he was a little too tender.

But Yuan Che was very awkward, and in the end he attributed this awkwardness to this man's clean and a bit excessive attire.

Ke Ran didn't even have a single black spot on his fair face, and his neat hair hung down obediently on his forehead and temples, and every strand of hair seemed to have been measured for its spacing.

He was half a head shorter than Yuan Che, and the clothes on his body were ironed, so they were very straight, and the trousers fitted him very well, making his legs look extra long.

Yuan Che's eyes fell on Ke Ran's feet, he was actually wearing a pair of leather shoes.Looking around, the ground was covered with broken branches and leaves, a mixture of water and mud, and Ke Ran's shiny leather shoes looked out of place.

Yuan Che couldn't help lowering his eyes to glance at his attire, it couldn't be more casual.

Yuan Che can be regarded as the handsome man in the police force, he has everything a woman wants except being rich.Although he is usually a little casual and a little messy at home, men have these habits more or less.

Standing in front of this person now, he had the urge to go back and change his outfit again.

The hangover Yuan Che became even more angry. When they met for the first time, they failed to give the newcomer a bad start and were virtually compared.

Yuan Che pretended to be nonchalant, and asked solemnly with a bit of an old detective's seriousness: "Are you the new one?"

The person on the opposite side nodded slightly, and gave a slight "hmm" as an answer.

Yuan Che was furious, what kind of answer is this?Don't even introduce yourself?

Hearing Yuan Che's angry voice, Guo Turong hurried over and smiled at him comfortingly, then turned to the newcomer and stretched out his hand: "Your name is Ke Ran, I'm Guo Turong, this is the team leader of our three teams Yuan Che."

Ke Ran looked down at Guo Turong's hand, hesitated for two seconds before reaching out, and immediately retracted it as soon as he touched it, rubbing against his pants as if he had touched something dirty.

Yuan Che couldn't hold back the fire.After all, Guo Turong was his partner for six years, a comrade-in-arms who went through life and death, and he would do anything to hurt him. He was the first to disagree with anyone who disrespected Guo Turong except him.

Yuan Che's eyes were fixed on the black eyes of the person opposite him. The moment he shook hands with Guo Turong just now, there was a look of disgust on Ke Ran's face. Yuan Che still captured that moment.

The left corner of his mouth raised slightly and said, "What? You can't hold your hand?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand abruptly, and accurately grasped Ke Ran's hand hanging beside him.

This hand was a bit cold, the calluses on the knuckles of the fingers contrasted sharply with the soft skin in the middle of the palm, the palm was not big, and it was even smaller than the edge in his hand.

He was about to get closer, and gave Ke Ran a condescending look. Ke Ran's hand had already slipped out of his grasp like a loach, and he took three or four steps back in panic.

This was the first time anyone could break free from his grasp so easily.

The two looked at each other, and immediately became deadlocked.

The forensic doctor Zhao Chenguang jumped out of a taxi and interrupted the confrontation. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands, half of his T-shirt was exposed, and half was wrapped around his slightly fat belly. Tucked into the trousers, they relaxed a little when they saw Yuan Che.

"The rain is so violent that it is difficult to go out."

Guo Turong patted Yuan Che's shoulder, turned around and asked Zhao Chenguang suspiciously: "Isn't there a newcomer? There is also the forensic team, why didn't you come today?"

"I haven't met face-to-face yet, I can't get in touch. Xiao Lizi hasn't come back from his advanced studies. The interns live too far away. When they come, this place will be over long ago. I can handle it by myself."

Guo Turong said with a smile: "Then it's hard work for you."

Yuan Che decided to temporarily ignore Ke Ran's "disrespect".This is not the place to settle personal matters.

There are more and more pedestrians on the road, so we need to clear it up as soon as possible, so as to avoid all kinds of speculations flying in the sky.
