After leaving the brokerage company, Lin Yao returned to the crime team ten minutes later than Situ.Tang Shuo temporarily put aside his work and entertained Situ to wait in the meeting room.

When Lin Yao came back, Situ said, "It's been more than ten years, and the boss doesn't remember much. All he can tell me is the impression Yuan Xinle left on him."

Lin Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"

Situ pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to say."

Several strange cases involved some strange people.From an ordinary point of view, people are ordinary.Because of the constraints of time, the memory becomes blurred, and the pure and kind people at the beginning either become good or become bad.A person can change, but feelings don't change.Love, hate, and extremes will not be exhausted by time, on the contrary, they will become stronger as time goes by.

People, too, follow the same trajectory.In other words: this is the trajectory of human life.

Everyone has his own trajectory, if someone else wants to know him, he can go through his trajectory.

However, Yuan Xin's trajectory seems to have been divided into many tracks, and Situ seems to be standing on the platform of the departure station, not knowing which one to take.

Situ said unhurriedly: "In Yan Feng's memory, Yuan Xin was a greedy, timid, and a little selfish girl. But Yuan Xin in the memory of the boss is a smart, hardworking and down-to-earth child. Don't you think Is this contradictory?"

Lin Yao sat across from Situ, tapping the table rhythmically with a pen in his hand, obviously thinking.

"Let's analyze it." Situ leaned on the chair casually and said, "If the murderer's purpose is to avenge Yuan Xin, what is the motive? Love? Kindness? Family affection? Judging from various clues, the murderer probably Between the ages of 30 and 35, young people. If Yuan Xin is still alive, he will be at this age. So, have you investigated whether Yuan Xin has brothers."

Tang Shuo said: "The identity of the corpse has just been confirmed, and the investigation results are not so fast."

"Okay, let's continue the analysis. No matter what kind of person Yuan Xin is, those killed by Song Haibin must have done something very unconscionable to Yuan Xin back then. Years of revenge."

"This is also the key point." Lin Yao put down the pen in his hand and said, "Why did it take more than ten years?"

After confirming the identity of the corpse, both Lin Yao and Situ thought that it was Song Haibin and others who killed Yuan Xin.However, why did it take so long for the murderer to take revenge?Another point, don't Song Haibin and others like Yuan Xin very much?Why kill her?

Hearing Lin Yao's doubts, Situ sneered a few times, "If you have something to do with drugs, you can't do anything unconscionable."

Having said that, Tan Ning pushed the door open and entered.He said seriously: "I found a phone book in Shen Lujun's study. After his wife identified it, it proved that it did not belong to Shen Lujun." Then, he gave Lin Yao the phone book in the evidence bag.

Lin Yao put on his gloves and took out the phone book.

The phone book is the kind of leather book more than ten years ago, only the size of Lin Yao's palm.The blue floral cover has lost its original color, and the corners are curled up.Turning to the first page, the beautiful handwriting came into view.

Situ raised his eyebrows, "Women's words."

Lin Yao flipped through a few pages and said, "Which one of you used a small notebook to write down phone numbers?"

Tang Shuo was the first to shake his head, and Tan Ning shook his head and said, "My father's generation used it. I remember that when mobile phones first came out, they basically used notebooks to record numbers. How long has it been? [-]?"

Situ laughed and said, "You don't need to go back so far, people who don't have a mobile phone can use it."

Lin Yao squinted at Situ, "Ten years ago, Yuan Xin couldn't afford a mobile phone."

Tan Ning also said that this phone book probably belonged to Yuan Xin.And what he drew Lin Yao's attention was a certain page in the phone book.

"Look, the bottom third of this page has been torn off." Tan Ning said, "I just came back from the forensic team, and they said it was torn off in the last few days."

Tang Shuo said puzzled, "Why only tear off a third? If you want to hide some information, wouldn't it be easier to just tear off this page?"

Lin Yao's face darkened a little, and he said, "The one who is torn off is the next victim."

Yes, the ripped out part is only enough to write one person's phone number.Judging from the methods and rules of the murderer's crime, it is very likely that he will be the next victim.

Lin Yao took a photo of the torn page, while Situ pushed the notebook to Tang Shuo's hand and said, "Call all the numbers on this page and find someone who knows."

Tang Shuo scratched his head and asked, "The people in the phone book may not know each other, right? Besides, many of them are seven-digit landline numbers, and the numbers may have been changed long ago."

"Don't think too much, there's no harm in trying. What if you know each other?" Situ said, "And if you look carefully, there are blue oil pens, black oil pens, and pens in the phone book, which means that these numbers are not a one-time copy. Come down, but know one and record one. Then, counting from the time, the person whose number was torn off, we need to determine when this person met Yuan Xin, and then we can judge when Yuan Xin was I got to know the next person, the one who was torn off."

Tang Shuo's eyes lit up, he patted his chest, and promised to complete the task!

The next second, Lin Yao's cell phone rang.The displayed number is very strange.

"Hello, who is it?" Lin Yao's attention was all on the phone book, and he just asked the other party casually.

The other party said: "Hello,...is this Police Officer Lin?"

"It's me." Lin Yao said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Ke Yidong, Yan Feng's dance coach."

Lin Yao was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Situ. Situ realized that the phone call was weird, so he moved to Lin Yao's side.

Lin Yao said, "Hello, Mr. Ke, what do you need from me?"

"Yes, is it convenient for you now? I, I want to talk to you."

Situ hurriedly said in a low voice, "Ask him what to talk about."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"About... about Yuan Xin."

no?Teacher Ke knows Yuan Xin?Could it be any more messy?Situ nodded towards Lin Yao with a legal look on his face.

Lin Yao asked in a normal tone, "Do you know Yuan Xin?"

It took a long time for Ke Yidong on the phone to say, "I'm her boyfriend, or I used to be."

Situ's eyes widened sharply, and he signaled Lin Yao to make an appointment!

Lin Yao's tone remained unchanged. He seemed completely unsurprised by Ke Yidong's identification, and was even more casual. He said, "Not now, but I have some time in an hour. Do you think it will work?"

"Then I'll tell you where to meet, see you in an hour."

Lin Yao casually hummed, hung up the phone, and started to get busy.He's going to take pictures of every page of the phone book in order to find new clues.

Tang Shuo hurriedly said, "Let's go, you two, I'll take pictures, and I'll send you my phone after the pictures are finished."

Situ Le gave Tang Shuo a thumbs up, "Smart! It's a pity to be a policeman, let's go with brother..."

Before the joke was over, Lin Yao slapped him on the back of the head!Situ covered his head and accused Lin Yao as he walked, "Why are you hitting people casually again?"

"I want to fight seriously, you won't be able to get up." After saying that, Situ gave Situ a blank look! "If you tease him again, I'll still beat you."

Not only was Situ not angry, but he laughed a few times.Maybe it was because the laughter was too arrogant, which attracted the attention of many people, but he didn't care, and continued to walk forward.

Situ suggested to take his car, which is faster and more convenient. Lin Yao was not pretentious, and sat directly in the co-pilot seat.Seeing the sunglasses next to the car perfume, and then looking at Situ...

Lin Yao said, "Your glasses are all dusty."

"Leave it alone, I'm too lazy to collect it."

Lin Yao smiled softly, "There is a girl in the group who married a local tycoon. She seems to be wearing the same type of glasses as you these days. How much is it? Thirty thousand or fifty thousand?"

Situ couldn't laugh or cry, "Officer Lin, I haven't done anything illegal."

Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject, "I'm very interested in Ke Yidong, tell me, why did he find me at this juncture?"

"They are all people with stories." Situ said casually.

The three people made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near the brokerage company. Ke Yidong ordered three cups of coffee in advance. When Lin Yao and Situ arrived, the coffee was cold.

The first question was raised by Situ, very sharp-did you know that Yan Feng was the lead singer of the band back then?

Ke Yidong didn't seem to notice Situ's real intentions, and replied: "About four years ago, I was hired to the company to do choreography, and I met at that time."

Situ asked again: "How did you know we were looking for Yuan Xin?"

"In the restaurant, I heard your conversation." Ke Yidong said.

Situ smiled, "There are so many people named Yuan Xin in the world, how do you know which Yuan Xin we are looking for?"

Lin Yao never left Ke Yidong's eyes, observing every change in his expression, and even every breath.When Ke Yidong was stunned by the small trap set by Situ, Lin Yao sat forward slightly. Such a slight change put pressure on Ke Yidong.

Sweat dripped from Ke Yidong's forehead, looking embarrassed.He smiled bitterly and said, "It's really shameful. I wanted to keep it secret, but it seems impossible. I'm sorry, I have something..."

Situ suddenly interrupted Ke Yidong, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, calling the waiter, "Bring me a cup of hot chocolate." After speaking, he smiled and said to Ke Yidong, "Sweet things will make you feel better."

Lin Yao controlled his facial expression, trying not to roll his eyes.Situ's hypocrisy completely hit Ke Yidong's weakness. Looking at his eyes, he seemed to be very grateful to Situ.

Ke Yidong took a sip of hot chocolate, with a slight smile on his face.He lowered his eyes and said softly: "Yes, I knew Yan Feng as early as 17 years ago. I just knew, but I didn't know him. I was only 20 years old at that time, and I was a student of the Dance Department of the Art Academy in this city. It was a coincidence Then I got to know Yuan Xin, and I was amazed by her enthusiasm for dance art, I have never seen a person who loves dance to the point of death."

Yuan Xin is 17 years old and is crazy about dancing.But she is too old to be a dance major.But Yuan Xin practiced kung fu desperately, because there was no teacher to guide her, she hurt her body several times.Ke Yidong had warned her that going on like this would outweigh the gains.In order to get the correct guidance, Yuan Xin went to the college to find Ke Yidong when he had time, and brought the meals he cooked himself.After going back and forth, feelings developed between the two young people.

Yuan Xin's love and dedication to dance inspired Ke Yidong. When they were together, they mostly discussed dance issues and watched foreign dance compilations.At that time, Yuan Xin encouraged Ke Yidong to participate in the National Youth Dance Competition, and accompanied him to rehearse and choreograph.I have to say that although Yuan Xin can't be a dance major, she is really talented and savvy.She helped Ke Yidong choreograph the dance. It was not just a dance, but also a young man's desire for dreams, struggle against reality, and vision for the future.Ke Yidong won the first prize in the competition only with that dance, which was something he never dreamed of.Therefore, Yuan Xin is not just a girlfriend to Ke Yidong.

Ke Yidong didn't go into too much detail about his relationship with Yuan Xin, it sounded calm and objective.Perhaps it has been a long time, the throbbing and enthusiasm of youth have long since faded.Today, what Ke Yidong tells is just a memory.

Ke Yidong recalled what happened back then - originally, they had made a plan, the two of them saved money together, and asked Yuan Xin to apply for the art department of a certain university.At that time, Yuan Xin's major was fine, but the difficulty was in the culture class.

Ke Yidong said: "Her working hours are very long, and she can only relax after twelve o'clock in the evening, and the environment is not conducive to remedial cultural courses. I always wanted to rent a house, but the school management was very strict at that time, and school students were not allowed to rent houses outside. One day, she told me that she rented a room through a friend, but it was not convenient for me to go. I didn’t think much about it. Later, the number of dates between the two of us became less and less.”

Situ asked in a low voice: "You found out the reason, didn't you?"

Ke Yidong nodded, "I saw her with a man..."

Times have changed and it is still difficult to export.

"Who is it?" Lin Yao asked.

"Shen Lujun." Ke Yidong took a sip of hot coffee to relieve his emotions, "I was too young at that time, so I ran to the bar and fought with Shen Lujun in a fit of anger. The next day, Yuan Xin went to school to find me , said many things."

Speaking of this, Ke Yidong rubbed his face, as if he was adjusting his mentality.After a while, he said, "Shen Lujun's bastards tricked her into taking drugs."

Situ and Lin Yao had expected this and were not surprised.

Ke Yidong continued: "Yuan Xin is very scared and regretful. I advise her to call the police."

Hearing this, Situ secretly said in his heart: He is indeed too young and impulsive.

Lin Yao didn't think too much, just let Ke Yidong continue talking.

Ke Yidong: "Yuan Xin hesitated for a long time before deciding to call the police. The two of us agreed that I would take half a day off to accompany her to the police station. I don't know if God deliberately made it difficult for us. That morning, a program group from the provincial TV station came to the police station. I asked for three dance programs, and the teacher pointed me to participate. I know the teacher is doing it for my own good, and the opportunity is really rare, I think..."

Lin Yao said, "You didn't ask for leave, did you?"

Ke Yidong nodded silently.

Situ didn't want to figure out Ke Yidong's mood at that time, nor did he want to judge whether he was doing right or not.At that time, they were still young.

By the time Ke Yidong finished recording the dance and arrived at Yuan Xin's residence, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Ke Yidong said: "I was standing on the south side of the road, opposite to that building. I, I saw Song Haibin, Shen Lujun and the man surnamed Wang. They came out carrying a big thing, which seemed to be a sack. They put I put the sack in the trunk of the car and drove towards Fenglong Mountain. I was very scared at the time, so I went upstairs and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, Yuan Xin did not come out to open the door for me. Only then did I realize that they carried In the sack is probably..."

Situ and Lin Yao glanced at each other, tacit understanding.

Painful memories from long ago are dug out from the deep ditch of time, naked for the first time in front of strangers, tense, angry, speechless, this feeling of being torn apart again is like cutting the skin Come, let the red blood and black pus flow out together.Situ could see that his exposed hands were covered with layers of cold sweat, sticky and wet.

Ke Yidong wiped the sweat from his hands with a paper towel, and continued, "I chased him out and along the road for about [-] minutes. I was really scared, so I thought, just call the police."

Hearing this, Lin Yao noticed that Ke Yidong's face was getting paler, his hands were trembling, and they were subconsciously gathered on his chest.Situ called him a few times, but there was no response, as if he didn't hear him.Lin Yao was startled right now—post-traumatic stress disorder?

Lin Yao pressed Ke Yidong's hand lightly, and said as softly as possible: "Ke Yidong, relax, you are safe now. Tell me, what happened then?"

Ke Yidong stared at Lin Yao in fear and looked again and again, and gradually settled down.He lifted up his T-shirt, revealing a hideous scar.

"Car accident." Ke Yidong said seriously: "The moment I was about to take out my phone, a car rushed towards me. I, I can't remember the feeling at that time. That feeling... not only It just hurts."

Situ hurriedly asked, "Did you see the car that hit you?"

Ke Yidong shook his head.

"What color is that car? Is it the same color as the car that Shen Lujun drove away?"

"I don't know, I don't remember." Ke Yidong replied, "When I woke up, my memory was disconnected, and it took a year of treatment to recover."

Lin Yao patted Situ on the shoulder, signaling him to take his time.Situ had no choice but to pause and let Ke Yidong relax.
