You die and die

January 2018, 10 3:23

On Ruixiang Street in Chengdong District, various KTVs gather, and the nightlife of the city has just begun. There are more and more vehicles parked in front of the KTV, people come in and out, and the crowds are crowded.

Across from the bustling and bustling neighborhood, a [-]-meter block stands abruptly in the middle of the bustle, lifeless as if cast by a spell.

A young man on a bicycle twisted his hips to the rhythm of the music in the earphones, stepped on the pedals, and turned into this block, intending to take a shortcut into the opposite main street.

It was pitch black where the street lights on both sides could not reach.

The young man bypassed the long-abandoned sales booth by the lights on his bicycle, and turned into a promenade. On one side of the promenade are empty shops, on the other side are railings, and below the railings is a sunken square.

A stray cat came out of the trail ten meters away. The young man let out a cry of surprise, gripped the brakes tightly, kicked his long legs on the ground, watched the cat disappear around the corner behind him, and turned his head to look at the black road where the cat came out aisle.

The dilapidated billboards on both sides of the aisle were broken and hung on the eaves, making creaking sounds from time to time, and the words in the dead of night made people panic.

The moment the cat came out just now, there was a flash of light along the path, and there seemed to be a distorted figure in that flash of light.

The young man swallowed with cold sweat on his palms. He looked around in a panic, making sure that he should be safe now.

Not daring to look any further, he hurriedly stepped on his bicycle to speed up and cross the street.

After riding on the main road for a certain distance, the young man couldn't help but stop and look back at the alley he just left. No one has been entering or exiting the alley.

When the phone rang at twelve o'clock, he rode towards home.

January 2018, 10 at 7:[-] pm

This is probably a misty forest, each tree has overlapping shadows, and the surrounding weeds are extraordinarily tall, blocking most of his sight.

Every time he moved, his whole body seemed to be in piercing pain, and the blurred brown-red shadows in front of his eyes seemed to glue his eyelids together.Disgusting voices sounded behind him, laced with sickly maniacal laughter.His legs trembled so that he could only crawl, but he found it impossible to move even if he wanted to escape.A kind of urgency, anxiety, fear, and pain rolled into a ball and stuffed his chest, and his throat was blocked and he could only make a weak sound.

Sheng Han, run!run!

Yuan Che jumped up straight from the chair, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, figures overlapped, and some voices that seemed real and unreal were intermittent.

After a while, everything around me slowly became real.

Since the National Day holiday, this dream has appeared for the third time, and he wakes up every time he calls out this name.It's just that the first two times were at home, and this time it was in the office - the office of the Serious Case Team No. [-]

Liu Lingling and Gu Huayu looked at him with concern.

"I'm awake, I'm fine." Liu Lingling said, flipping her short hair out of habit.

"This is a nightmare." Gu Huayu concluded, he picked up Yuan Che's water glass and took a glass of cold water.

Yuan Che's breathing was still a little difficult, and his back felt cold for a while, and he should be covered in cold sweat again.Yuan Che took the paper towel handed over by Liu Lingling and wiped the sweat off his face, only then did he really wake up.

Gu Huayu, who came back from receiving the water, stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Che's forehead seriously, but Yuan Che pushed it away.

"I'm fine." Yuan Che said in a hoarse voice.

Liu Lingling—the only female police officer in the third group of serious cases, and one of the few female police officers in the police force to go out to work—played the characteristics of a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and said worriedly: "Head, you are overtired. You said it is rare." The National Day holiday is peaceful, so if you don’t take a good rest, you insist on taking the shift. If there is another case, you will suffer again, and Iron Man will melt if this continues.”

Yuan Che didn't respond, he propped his elbows on the table, letting his heartbeat slowly return to normal.

After a while, Yuan Che looked at the time, it was ten past three.He looked at the two empty desks in the office: "Where are Ah Cheng and Ke Ran?"

"Ah Cheng went to the logistics to pick up things. We haven't received the benefits for the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, so we're on the team. Ke Ran asked for leave today, didn't he tell me this morning?"

During the National Day holiday, Ke Ran got caught in the rain and developed a fever. His family asked him to take a day off, and the team leader came to tell him about it.

Yuan Che turned on the phone, but there was no message from Ke Ran in it. He hoped that he could burn it to a normal level.

Ke Ran is a rookie in the police force and arrived on duty just before the National Day.As soon as he arrived at the post, he ran into two major cases one after another, and his performance was remarkable. In addition to his grandfather with background, he was now a popular man in front of the director and the captain.

But Yuan Che's serious Ke Ran is not so perfect, and even has serious flaws.

Just as he was thinking, Liu Hecheng kicked the door open with his foot, and walked in with a stack of boxes in his hand. Gu Huayu hurried over to take it and put it on the chair next to him.

After receiving the benefits, Liu Hecheng was in a good mood: "Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has expired, the mooncakes haven't expired yet. Sister Li from the logistics said they are excellent mooncakes." As he spoke, he patted the mooncake box and picked it out for Yuan Che. Picking his chin: "Head, there are two boxes here that belong to you."

"Why are there two boxes?" Gu Huayu immediately understood after asking, "Ah, I know, and the other one is my heart."

The logistics sister Li he mentioned was called Li Lihong, and she was interested in Yuan Che. This was a gossip that everyone in the bureau knew.

"Who told you to be troublesome? Send it back." Yuan Che was already in a bad mood, and he was even annoyed by being teased like this. He gave Liu Hecheng a look, and turned around to ask Gu Huayu: "Are you idle?"

Gu Huayu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm busy."

Liu Lingling snickered and said, "He won't be free for long. When his wife gives birth, he will be the busiest one."

Gu Huayu hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes." He took a box of mooncakes and sat back in his seat happily.

Liu Hecheng was expressing his opinion on the mooncakes with all his heart, when the phone on Ke Ran's desk rang, and he was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, then answered the phone in embarrassment, and hung up with two beeps:

"Head, the captain told you to go to his office."

Yuan Che stretched his muscles, got up and walked out the door with his hands in his pockets.

The team leader's office is on the fifth floor. It should have been on the first floor with them. Because of the adjustment of the criminal police team, the office was moved next to the file room.

In addition to the captain's office and archives room, the fifth floor also has conference rooms, technical rooms, and the director's office.

Yuan Che walked up to the fifth floor and turned to look at the archives room.

The beginning of his dream was a self-introduction, "My name is Sheng Han, the name is Sheng, and the word Han in the mouth of the day means the sky will be bright.

Yuan Che found three Sheng Han from the city's household registration files during his shift: a five-year-old child, a 15-year-old boy, and a 20-year-old who is now abroad.

Except for the name, he was sure that everything else was blank, and he couldn't tell whether the person in his dream was one of these three people.If the fear and uneasiness in the dream is real, maybe it has something to do with a certain case.

But how could he dream of the scene of the crime with empathy?He absolutely does not believe that he has supernatural powers of precognition.If not foreknowledge, what is?Could it be a dream?

Yuan Che stood still for a moment before moving to the captain's office.

The captain was sitting behind the desk and was talking on the phone. Seeing Yuan Che enter, he pointed to the chair in front of the desk, listened carefully, and repeated: "Yes, I understand."

After 2 minutes, the captain hung up the phone and said with a sigh of relief:

"Ke Ran doesn't need to be transferred to the fifth team. But he is a newcomer after all, and he still lacks experience. You must take him well."

Ke Ranben was personally selected by the bureau chief to be placed in the third group, but I don't know if his grandfather didn't like him as the group leader with an irregular private life, so he insisted on transferring him to the fifth group.

If it was the past, Yuan Che would definitely not miss it and just kick him over.But this Ke Ran wanted to stay.

Because this Ke Ran is a mystery, sometimes he is a model student who speaks carefully and dresses well, and sometimes he acts recklessly and carelessly.

He wants to find out what's wrong with Ke Ran. Before that, he won't let him go.

The trouble should end it.He wanted Grandpa Ke Ran—the mastermind behind Ke Ran's transfer—to let go of his worries and leave his grandson in the third group without worry. Therefore, before the National Day, he gave Ke Ran a tip to appease his grandfather.

The result announced by the captain was expected by Yuan Che.

He nodded in response, and then waited for the captain's next words.

The captain wouldn't come to him specifically for such a trivial matter that can be said on the phone. This sentence is useless for three seconds.

Sure enough, the captain was silent for a while, as if he was considering how to speak.

This is a rare situation.In the criminal police team, the captain is the boss and has the final say.What's more, he and Yuan Che have been familiar with each other for so long, and they speak casually in private. When did he need to be so careful?

And judging by the captain's expression, what he was about to say made it difficult for him to speak.

After struggling for a while, the team leader finally said, "It's all right. There is a summary meeting today, so go to the meeting room early and wait."

Yuan Che stared at the captain, and smiled mockingly: "Captain, is there something that you can't talk about?"

The captain smiled awkwardly: "I said it's fine. I just want to tell you a few more words to take care of Ke Ran, but I'm afraid you'll be disgusted, so just think about it."

Yuan Che was about to chase after him when the phone on the team leader's desk rang. The team leader picked up the phone with relief, listened for a while and then responded twice. He quickly put down the phone and said with a slight smile:

"There's a case. It's in Qinglingang, Ruixiang Street, Chengdong District. Hurry up and go to the scene. It's going to be dark in a while."

Yuan Che shrugged, touched his forehead lightly, and left the office.

This paragraph is written down, and what he should know will always be exposed, and it is impossible to hide it.

Qinglin Port on Ruixiang Street used to be a bustling commercial area, but now it has long been forgotten and has become the death spot of the city center.

Although it is called Qinglin Port, it has nothing to do with the riverside port. Probably the only thing that can be labeled is that the overall building here is like a docked ship.

The whole area is divided into two parts, the first floor is on the flat ground, and the first floor is a sunken square. There are two wide staircases leading to the sunken square on both sides. Next to the stairs is a narrow elevator that can only accommodate one person. The elevator has long been abandoned. up.

Now the entrance leading to here is cordoned off, attracting some passers-by to stop and watch, and those who came early acted as commentators.

A young man pushing a bicycle in the crowd looked a little nervous. He stood on the edge of the crowd pushing his bicycle, looked around for a while, and then rode away on his bicycle.

Yuan Che and the others descended from the stairs on the east side. The further they went in, the stronger the stench became.

Ling Xiaoyu - a new female forensic doctor from the Public Security Bureau, with unique vision won the approval of old forensic doctor Zhao Chenguang - already dressed, standing by a door on the left side in the center of the square, seeing Yuan Che and the others come down, He hurriedly waved.

When they approached, Ling Xiaoyu handed them the outfits for surveying the scene, then pointed to the inside of the door and said: "You guys take a look first."

This is a glass door that opens from the opposite side, and the glass has long since lost any transparency.The space inside the glass door is about [-] square meters. There are some incomplete tables and chairs piled up near the wall, and there are some faded and old posters introducing jade on the wall.

The corpse was lying flat in the center, with his hands on his chest, and a white silk scarf covering his face.The silk scarf seemed to be glued to the forehead of the corpse, and the center part was stained yellow and green by the corrupted corpse, but the corners were surprisingly clean, contrasting so eye-catchingly with the dark green under the silk scarf.

A brown mark was clearly visible on the approximate position of the deceased's forehead, which looked like an Arabic numeral.

The corpse had almost turned into a Hulk, with a distended belly, limbs as thick as elephant legs, and hands and feet as shapeless as those of a poor blow-up doll.The dark-green giant's limbs were covered with dark black cobwebs under the exposed skin, as if they could burst open from under the transparent skin at any time.

Ling Xiaoyu said: "The door here was locked when we arrived."

"Locked?" Yuan Che frowned and looked at the sideways door. This door used a U-shaped lock commonly used in shops. A colleague from the Trace Inspection Department was picking up possible traces on the lock.

Liu Lingling stuffed her nose with her index finger and breathed heavily, leaned close to the evenly and thoroughly dirty glass and said:

"If it was locked, how would the reporter know that there was a dead person inside?"

This door is still in good condition, and the seal is in place. If it is closed, you can only smell a little smell from outside the door, but from this glass door, you can't see what's inside.

Yuan Che pushed Liu Lingling: "Go and look around."

Liu Lingling turned around and went out.

The traces around the corpse had already been photographed and collected, and Ling Xiaoyu began to conduct a preliminary inspection. At this moment, the two interns appeared from nowhere, their faces pale.

Qiu Chen from the Trace Inspection Department came over and said, "There are no traces of struggle here. Except around the corpse, other places are clean. This should not be the first scene. All the items at the scene have been placed for a long time, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated. No items suspected to be on the deceased were found.

The footprints at the scene were very clear, but there was only one group, which belonged to a man who wore a size 45 shoe, and the shoe prints were mainly around the corpse.There is no dust on the soles of the corpse's shoes, and there are no similar lady's shoe prints on the ground. It is basically certain that the entity was brought here by someone.

So far no fingerprints have been found on the door, and the door lock has been wiped and there are no fingerprints.In addition, the keyhole of this door lock has no rust, and it should be used frequently.And this place has been idle for a long time, so it is probably not the original match of this house. "

Yuan Che nodded. Although the door lock is very common and can be seen everywhere, it can at least serve as a clue.

Seeing Ling Xiaoyu stand up, he hurriedly approached and asked:

"How? Time of death? Cause of death?"

Ling Xiaoyu frowned beautifully, with a troubled look on her face:

"The deceased was female, with a height between 1.6 meters and 1.6 meters. It has entered the stage of high decay, and the death time has been at least 72 hours. The corpse is highly decayed, and some superficial evidence will be destroyed. I need to take it back and examine it carefully. The silk scarf on her face was stuck by a long wound on her forehead. The wound was a post-mortem wound, which only wounded the epidermis and was not enough to cause death. The wound was a relatively sharp thin-edged knife repeatedly scratched at the same location three times."

Ling Xiaoyu pointed to the shoes stretched out by the corpse's swollen feet: "Look at these shoes."

The shoes are black imitation leather shoes. The upper and sole have been separated and buckled.The lace on the left side of the shoe was broken, but the buckle on the right side was not damaged, half hanging on the hook and half left outside.

Yuan Che pondered and said: "The button is not fastened."
