monologue
Chapter 129 Bell 27
The night in the winter moon was especially cold, Wen Ti shrank his neck when he went out, Chu Xingmu took the opportunity to drag him to his side and hugged him across the road, his car was parked on the roadside parking space across the road. Maybe he could meet Wen Ti in the underground parking lot of the studio.
The temperature in the car gradually increased, and Chu Xingmu gave Wen Ti his coat. The traffic on Changqing Street was still flowing, and the lights on the street did not distinguish between seasons and day and night. Going for a walk in the evening, after all, the two of them are busy making trouble for each other in summer.
Within a few minutes of getting in the car, Wen Ti sneezed twice. A person with good manners even sneezed lightly, and would avoid people. It was useless for Chu Xingmu to avoid them. Instead, he asked him unhappy: "Isatis root granule Did you fall secretly?"
Wen Ti started coughing when he went back from the rented house on the night, Chu Xingmu stared at him for two days of Qiu Li Gao, and "coerced and lured" him to drink Banlangen Granules for several days in a row, for fear that he would catch a cold and have a fever, He never forgot the high fever on Chunxi Mountain.
Wen Ti put the handkerchief back into her pocket and said, "Chu Daha likes that granule very much."
Chu Xingmu glanced at the rearview mirror, and Wen Ti raised her head and smiled at the rearview mirror. The sights of each other's sinful eyes met in the rearview mirror. Swipe across, and the other party's small thoughts are seen in the eyes.
When passing by Changqing Pedestrian Street Cinema, Wen Ti saw a huge promotional poster outside the cinema, on the poster were two familiar faces, Wen Ti suddenly said: "Let's go to the movies in a few days, Gu Yan and Shen Si A new movie is coming out."
Chu Xingmu readily agreed, and when these two cases are solved, he must take a few days off work.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, Chu Daha jumped under Wen Ti's feet first and circled him. Chu Xingmu glanced at the food bowl, which was empty. He threw his coat on the armrest of the sofa and went to get dog food for Chu Daha. Wen Ti Released Wen Daju from the cage, picked up Chu Xingmu's coat and planned to hang it on the hanger, it may be because the pocket was shallow, Wen Ti just picked up the coat, and something fell out of it, Wen Ti quickly picked it up hand.
Chu Xingmu came out from the side sleeper with dog food, Wen Ti sat on the side of the coffee table with a tape recorder in his hand and looked over and over again, Wen Ti asked him: "Didn't Zhao Chen say that it will be repaired tomorrow?"
"Don't look at him who is usually cheerful. That guy is a money fanatic. He took three trips to buy parts for the bonus." So the tape recorder was repaired so quickly.
Wen Ti picked up a tape and asked, "He also bought a tape?"
Chu Xingmu added water to Chu Daha's basin, stood up and said, "It's for the sound test."
Wen Ti put the tape the size of a matchbox into the tape recorder, found the battery from another pocket of the jacket, Chu Xingmu wiped his hands and asked him: "Did you deliberately play that song so poorly in front of Li Xiaowen?" of?"
Wen Ti installed the battery, closed the back cover and said, "I want to see Jiang Ran's reaction, Li Xiaowen should be able to hear my perfunctory."
"What's Jiang Ran's reaction?"
"He must have listened to violin music in the music room, but Jennifer said that there was no one in the music room the day Jiang Ran ran out. I thought it was strange, so I went to the underground parking lot to have a look. The parking lot is monitored. The studios all have emergency doors, if Song Yan really left the music room, he can only go out through the emergency door, but Song Yan doesn't know how to play the violin, and he doesn't have the key to the music room."
Chu Xingmu also thought of the emergency door before, and asked someone to adjust the surveillance on Changqing Street, but Song Yan's whereabouts were not found. Calculated from the time when Jennifer picked up the key and the time when Song Yan had a dispute with her neighbors, he never Changqing Street returned to Honghe Road, and finally reached Changqing Street, so his disappearance should be on Changqing Street, and the place where he last appeared should be near the music room.
If Song Yan came to Changqing Street for an appointment, maybe his destination was Li Xiaowen's music room. There must have been someone in the music room at that time, but not Li Xiaowen, because he was in the Puling Western Restaurant at that time, and Wen Tichu Xingmu was together, and the three of them were waiting for Sheng Changxiao who was late.
Chu Xingmu suddenly realized that the non-capital case had made significant progress, and they focused on the non-capital case again, trying to solve the case in a short time. He picked up his mobile phone and went to the balcony. Wen Ti watched Seeing that he was on the phone, he should be explaining something to the people in the team.
Wen Ti tried to turn on the switch of the tape recorder, and there was a rattling sound from the tape recorder. About ten seconds later, a very penetrating rock music came out. Wen Ti was startled, and frantically pressed Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen is still a rock and roll youth.
Chu Xingmu came back from the balcony and glanced at the tape recorder on the table. Wen Ti was putting a blank tape into the tape compartment. Chu Xingmu said, "I haven't heard you read love poems much recently."
Wen Ti closed the tape compartment and said: "The love poems in the tape are more romantic, let's record a few."
He happily found two collections of poetry from his study room, sat beside Chu Xingmu, and said with a smile: "I try to read it affectionately, what does the captain want to hear?"
Chu Xingmu got up and went to the cabinet in the bedroom to take out Wen Ti's violin, and said, "Save the love poems on the bed to read, I want to listen to this tonight."
Wen Ti was puzzled and asked, "Will the neighbors complain about playing the violin in the middle of the night?"
After asking, he took the piano case and took out the violin.
"Laying in a residential building will definitely disturb the people, but it may be more fresh in the suburbs." Then Chu Xingmu said his intentions, "He Zhang's house is the closest to He Xiao's house, and the mother and son that Mrs. He knows are not He Xiao at all. Xiao and his mother, we passed by He Zhang’s house at night and ran into her. When chatting with comrades at the police station, the old lady said that He Xiao’s house had been playing music for a while, and asked her if she still remembered what music it was, and she said yes I don’t know, but if I listen to it again, I’m sure I’ll remember it.”
Wen Ti didn't even untie his tie. He was wearing a white shirt and picked up the violin. When Chu Xingmu was playing with the recorder, he looked up at his standing posture. Even in the music room, he deliberately stood so lazy. Chu Xingmu Mu said, "Let's begin."
Wen Ti gestured to Chu Daha, who was devouring the wolf. Compared with the violin, Chu Daha’s wolf howling was more disturbing to the people. Chu Xingmu pressed the recording switch and looked at Wen Ti with bated breath. They were not in an absolutely quiet environment. There will definitely be a lot of noise in the recorded music. As soon as Wen Ti's strings made a sound, Chu Daha squatted on the ground and raised his head and howled.
Wen Ti asked: "Is there any way to make it shut up?"
Chu Xingmu said, "Let's go to the bedroom."
The two moved their positions, Chu Xingmu did not forget to take the two poetry collections, Chu Daha was running around chasing Wen Daju in the living room, the sound of the violin was heard intermittently in the bedroom, the recording of the music was not good As far as I know, those blank tapes are all used up anyway, and only the person concerned knows what was recorded.
After learning of Song Yan's disappearance, Li Xiaowen was absent-minded all day. In the evening, he found the business card of Honghe Decoration Company and called to contact Song Fangguo. The people from Honghe Decoration said that Song Fangguo had been detained in the Public Security Bureau.
Li Xiaowen felt that Song Yan's disappearance was not a small case. Thinking of this, he was relieved of Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu's several temptations. Chu Xingmu is Wen Ti's friend, and he is Wen Ti's senior brother, but he also knows Song Yan. , Song Yan disappeared on Changqing Street. According to the police's case handling procedures, everyone who had contact with Song Yan will definitely be called to the Public Security Bureau for investigation and questioning, not to mention someone picked up Song Yan at the door of his music room. the key.
Li Xiaowen thought again, Chu Xingmu must have suspected him, maybe it was because of Wen Ti that he didn't ask him directly about Song Yan, so when Jennifer asked the teacher in the music room for an excuse to check the surveillance video, Li Xiaowen took the initiative to tell him she is gone.
Li Xiaowen sat on the piano chair and flipped through a page of the music score, and a crumpled lottery ticket fell on the keys.
He was indeed not in the music room that day. He accepted interviews from several music media during the day, and invited Wen Ti and Sheng Changxiao to have dinner at night. Only he and the two teachers had the keys to the music room, and he gave them the keys at the end of the trial class. The next day, for some reason, Li Xiaowen always felt that there was something wrong with that lottery ticket, so he picked it out of the trash can.
"Brother, you are still the same as before, you don't even relax when you are resting."
Li Xiaowen closed the score and turned around to find Sheng Changxiao coming. Sheng Changxiao looked very tired, in poor condition, and his voice was a little hoarse. Li Xiaowen smelled smoke from him. Sheng Changxiao told him that there was a difficult case, and it might be nothing. Time to come to the music room and help him.
"You haven't rested for a few days? You're in such a bad state." Li Xiaowen put the score back on the shelf, and led Sheng Changxiao out of the piano room.
In the lounge, Li Xiaowen asked him, "What would you like to drink?"
"Coffee, I just passed by the music room, and I came up when I saw the light was still on. Why don't you go home so late? Didn't you rest before ten o'clock?" When meeting Li Xiaowen, Sheng Changxiao talked a lot, probably Because they were inseparable when they were in school, and they talked about everything, and after so many years of going their separate ways, I still feel that the friends I knew when I was a student are the closest.
"I was delayed by something today. Your office is so busy, I think you seem to have lost weight." Li Xiaowen brought coffee to Sheng Changxiao.
Sheng Changxiao said: "The sum of the lawsuits of the firm is not as difficult as the lawsuits I took."
It can be heard that this is Sheng Changxiao's sincere words. In the past, he was always sure of winning every time he went to court, and he had always defended death penalty suspects. I also feel that I have no conscience. For so many years, countless families of victims and ordinary people have called him cold-blooded and inhumane. He was thrown eggs by radical family members outside the court. Animal corpses, receiving countless threatening phone calls, it seems that everyone hates him, so sometimes he thinks about what is "human nature".
Li Xiaowen asked: "Since you know that the lawsuit is difficult, why do you still take it?"
Sheng Changxiao shook his head and smiled wryly, "I can't help myself."
Li Xiaowen didn't know what he understood the word "involuntary". He was worried that no one would discuss it, so he told Sheng Changxiao about Song Yan's disappearance.
"Chu Xingmu suspects that Song Yan's disappearance is related to you?" Sheng Changxiao took a sip of coffee, his tone full of surprise.
"He and Wen Ti have been to the music room, probably because of Wen Ti's face, he didn't come to me directly, the decoration cost has already been settled, we just met Song Yan a few times, what is he doing in the music room?" Li Xiaowen also asked. Puzzled.
Sheng Changxiao asked, "Brother, have you seen Song Yan in the music room?"
"No, the music room was not open the day he disappeared, but Chu Xingmu said that someone picked up Song Yan's key at the door."
"Song Yan's key? Do you know where the key is?" Sheng Changxiao asked.
Li Xiaowen said: "He didn't say specifically, and I don't know."
After hearing this, Sheng Changxiao put the coffee back on the plate, "We had dinner with Chu Xingmu the night Song Yan disappeared."
Li Xiaowen asked in surprise: "How do you know he disappeared at night?"
Sheng Changxiao paused and explained, "The police have looked for me."
"The day after Song Yan disappeared, I received a call from the Public Security Bureau. That afternoon, he and another decorator went to my house to put up corner moldings. He should have disappeared that night. Chu Xingmu and I are a bit old. Old grievances, he suspected that I was responsible for Song Yan's disappearance, but didn't the four of us have dinner together that night? Not only did Chu Xingmu not believe it, he even sent someone to follow me for two days. If it wasn't for my assistant to testify for me, Maybe Chu Xingmu will take the opportunity to take revenge on me."
Li Xiaowen is skeptical that there is a personal grievance between Sheng Changxiao and Chu Xingmu. Although he has only met Chu Xingmu a few times, he thinks that Chu Xingmu is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between public and private, and the police and lawyers do not want to see each other. Usually, it shouldn't be to the point of revenge, but as a friend, he is still on Sheng Changxiao's side, so it's right to think that Sheng Changxiao is complaining.
Sheng Changxiao repeated again: "If you didn't invite Wen Ti to dinner that night, Chu Xingmu would definitely detain me in the Public Security Bureau. He has always wanted to catch me."
Li Xiaowen couldn't understand again, "Song Yan's disappearance has nothing to do with you, why would you think so."
"Brother, do you know why Wen Ti is hostile to me? Five years ago, the procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Zhao Hailu, the director of the Shanghe branch, for harboring and transferring drugs, covering up drug traffickers, kidnapping, and killing anti-drug officers. I defended him. Later, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for kidnapping, and one of the people he kidnapped was Chu Xingmu."
Li Xiaowen seldom comes into contact with criminal cases, at most he obtains some information on the Internet and on TV. He didn’t understand why Wen Ti was so dissatisfied with Sheng Changxiao after hearing it for a long time. It can be concluded that Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu have a very close relationship. Before knowing Sheng Changxiao's identity, he still called him "Senior Brother Sheng". No wonder he sang with Chu Xingmu and satirized Sheng Changxiao later.
Sheng Changxiao took out a few business cards from his wallet. Li Xiaowen saw that his wallet was bulging, and asked him jokingly, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed with so much cash?"
Sheng Changxiao put the money in his pocket and said: "The client pays in cash. I have been so busy these days that I haven't had time to go to the bank to deposit money. Brother, you keep these business cards. If you have a friend who wants to file a lawsuit, you can contact me." .”
"Let me help you get business?"
"I haven't been in a good mood recently, brother, just don't think I'm annoying."
Li Xiaowen suddenly asked nonchalantly: "Are you going to continue like this forever?"
Sheng Changxiao raised his head and asked: "Brother, do you also think that I am cold-blooded and inhumane, accepting all cases for the sake of money and fame, and turning a blind eye to the victim's suffering, as long as the client gives enough money, I will do whatever it takes to help them win the lawsuit. "
Li Xiaowen explained bluntly: "That's not what I meant."
Sheng Changxiao smiled wryly, and the loneliness on his face was clearly visible, "I failed my teacher's expectations in order to become a lawyer, but I had to do it, brother, you won't understand my difficulties."
Li Xiaowen suddenly remembered that 12 years ago, Sheng Changxiao came out of Ying Naiqing's office and went back to the dormitory to pack his things. Li Xiaowen asked him why he gave up music and turned to be a lawyer. He was more talented than Li Xiaowen and worked harder than Li Xiaowen. He was only 20 years old at the time , His world and future are waiting for him. He still remembers when Sheng Changxiao first entered school, he stood at the school gate and smiled at him, asking him how to get to the Conservatory of Music.
Dreams will shine at the beginning, even with that person is dazzling.
Later, Sheng Changxiao gave the violin that Ying Naiqing gave him to Li Xiaowen, and asked him to return it to Ying Naiqing. He also said at that time: "Brother, you won't understand my difficulties."
Li Xiaowen realized that he had been friends with Sheng Changxiao for 13 years, but he didn't know him at all. He used to be very shy and not good at communicating with others. Sheng Changxiao was the opposite of him. He had clear goals and was full of enthusiasm. Li Xiaowen somewhat accepted him. Sheng Changxiao is a very good friend.
Sheng Changxiao didn't want to talk about work with Li Xiaowen, so he changed the topic: "Brother, when do you have time, I talked about you with my mother two days ago, she wants to see you."
Li Xiaowen's expression was a little surprised: "Is Auntie in Qingshi? I thought she went to Jiangshi with you."
"She has been in Qingshi all the time, and her health is not very good. Now she lives in a nursing home and doesn't like to go out."
"I still have a concert. I'll go see her with you in two days. Is auntie seriously ill?"
"Schizophrenia, the mentality has been quite stable in recent years."
Li Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, "How long has it been?"
"More than ten years."
Li Xiaowen opened his mouth, and finally said: "You tell me next time you go to see her."
Sheng Changxiao nodded, and Li Xiaowen asked, "By the way, didn't I give you a key to the music room? Did you bring it?"
Sheng Changxiao said: "I will return the key to you after the trial class. It should be on your desk."
Li Xiaowen and Sheng Changxiao looked at each other, "I'll look for it, if someone steals it, no one will be responsible for anything."
Sheng Changxiao picked up his coat and followed out. Li Xiaowen was looking for keys in the office. Sheng Changxiao said goodbye to him, and Li Xiaowen said he would not see him off.
He found the fourth key on the desk. It was given to him by Li Xiaowen when Sheng Changxiao came to supervise the work. He didn't know when he would return. Li Xiaowen wondered if Sheng Changxiao changed his major because her mother suffered from schizophrenia. ?
The tuition fees at the Conservatory of Music were expensive, and Sheng Changxiao's family was in very tight financial conditions back then. Perhaps it was because of this that he changed his major.
Li Xiaowen put the key in the drawer and locked it. He really didn't know much about Sheng Changxiao. He only knew that his dream was to become a violinist and to be able to hold a solo concert in the future, and Li Xiaowen had already realized all of these.
This night, Li Xiaowen fell asleep listening to the violin song "The Bell", while Wen Ti was woken up the next morning by the song he recorded.
It was still dark at six o'clock, and Chu Xingmu had already packed up his things and was ready to go to work. Seeing Wen Ti woke up, Chu Xingmu turned off the tape recorder and took out the tape inside and said: "There is a meeting in the morning, you will be later." It’s okay to go, breakfast is in the pot, if you go to the studio today, give the tape recorder to Li Xiaowen, and take a walk with Chu Daha.”
Wen Ti walked out of the bedroom and took a look at the steaming casserole in the kitchen. He used to sleep very lightly, waking up with a slight noise. Since he lived with Chu Xingmu, he didn't seem to suffer from insomnia so easily.
"I'm going to the kindergarten today to watch Jiang Ran's activities. He got a ticket for me last time. Maybe he won't go to the bureau today." Wen Ti handed the coat to Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu put on his shoes, took his coat and said, "A day of absenteeism will deduct [-]."
Wen Ti handed him the clothes and said, "I'm not short of money."
Chu Xingmu choked for a moment, the deduction of wages had no deterrent effect on Wen Ti, it depends on the time is approaching, Chu Xingmu took the bag and opened the door and went out, Wen Ti stood at the door and stared at Chu Daha, Wen Ti still Having never walked the dog, the door opened from the outside after a few seconds, and Chu Xingmu squeezed in through the crack of the door and kissed Wen Ti, "I'll give you a day off today, and dress warmly when you go out."
The door was closed again, Wen Ti stood in the living room in a daze, Wen Ti stroked Chu Daha's dog's head: "Your dad wakes up early and stays late to earn some dog food for you."
Chu Daha squatted at Wen Ti's feet sticking out his tongue, Wen Daju lay on the armrest of the sofa and licked his paws, the gap between the rich and the poor suddenly appeared.
Wen Ti washed up and went to the kitchen to serve porridge and side dishes. During breakfast time, she turned on the TV to watch the entertainment news for a while, poured some water on the emerald green succulents on the TV cabinet, explained the day's work schedule to Jennifer, and called the company's secretary to inquire. His itinerary, knowing that he didn't need to go to the company for a meeting, asked Jennifer to send the documents to him, turned on the computer and wrote a thesis for half an hour, asked Professor Jiang some questions, and confirmed the next meeting with Zhong Changxin At nine o'clock on time, I took Chu Daha downstairs for a walk. During this period, Chu Daha lost his hands three times, and Wen Ti was not worried that Chu Daha would never come back.
Wen Ti walked around the neighborhood, and some grandpas and aunts who came home after buying vegetables asked him why he didn’t see Captain Chu. Wen Ti politely said “Good morning” to the other party first, and finally said that Chu Xingmu had gone to work , although he lived in Chu Xingmu's house for a few months, he hadn't walked around Chu Xingmu's neighborhood very much, and Chu Xingmu would never have thought that Wen Ti would tell the people downstairs who had been worrying about when he would find a partner for several years. what.
After completing the important task of walking the dog that Chu Xingmu entrusted to him, Wen Ti changed his clothes and went to find Li Xiaowen. He wanted to return the tape recorder to Li Xiaowen. In the morning, he also made an appointment with Jiang Ran's mother to discuss with her whether Jiang Ran would attend class next semester. In the afternoon, he had to go to the kindergarten, and the schedule for the day was full. In fact, his work was no less than that of Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu parked the car downstairs, and when he was walking into the building, he saw Tang Zhe walking in like stepping on cotton, so he stopped and waited for him for a while, "Xiao Tang, are you still awake?"
Tang Zhe skillfully put the bag under his armpit, rubbed his hands and trotted to Chu Xingmu's side, and said, "Last night, the neighbors next door had too much quarrel, so I didn't sleep well."
Not long after entering the door, Han Yang came up from downstairs with the test report, and pointed out that he was looking for Xia Ci, but Chu Xingmu said that he had asked for leave today.
"He is so busy at the end of the year, how dare he ask for leave?" Han Yang handed over the test report to Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu took the test report and returned to his work station, "You still have time to gossip, why doesn't he dare to ask for leave?"
Han Yang took out an evidence bag from his overalls pocket and put it on Chu Xingmu's desk, "Xia Ci dug it out from the soil yesterday, let me deal with it, I will give you back Don't come to me for it."
Chu Xingmu picked up the evidence bag, looked at the tape that was half the size of a matchbox inside and asked Han Yang, "Is there a tape recorder besides the tape?"
"What era is this? Except for people who collect tapes, who still listens to this? You already use the radio." Han Yang gave Chu Xingmu a bad mouthful.
Chu Xingmu pushed and shoved him: "I just want to make it easier for me to know the important affairs of the country."
If it hadn't been for playing with tapes and recorders all night last night, Chu Xingmu would not be sure that the half of the cracked plastic shell in the evidence bag was a tape, and it seemed to be about the same size as the ones he used last night.
Han Yang turned his head and asked, "What good days have you had in your team recently?"
Lang Lang passed by with a stack of files in his arms and replied, "Christmas next week, New Year's Day next week, I'm so busy, how can there be a good day?"
Han Yang slapped his head: "I said why did Xia Ci ask for leave at this juncture, and I'm busy too, and there are still a few autopsy reports that I haven't finished yet."
No one in the office paid any attention to him, so Bai Yao asked Lang Lang with a pile of documents to be copied: "Sister Lang, why did the deputy team go? Blind date?"
Lang Lang said, "I went back to my hometown to worship his parents."
"Ah? Didn't Zhao Chen say that the deputy team is an orphan? Then when will he come back?"
Lang Lang said: "In previous years, I would go there for one day. His story is a long one. When you have time, go gossip with him."
Bai Yao shook her head, how could she dare to gossip about Xia Ci's privacy, seeing Chu Xingmu watching them, Bai Yao hurriedly carried the documents and went to copy them.
Tang Zhe went downstairs to deliver the materials, and when he came back, he was a little downcast. Zhao Chen asked him what was wrong, and Tang Zhe couldn't bear to say, "Song Yan's father is here again."
Song Yan's father sat in the police station for a whole day. A few days ago, Song Fangguo accompanied him to search for him on Honghe Road for a few days. Everyone who asked him said he had never seen Song Yan. After Song Fangguo was detained in the police station, he has been sitting Wait outside.
Qi Shaocheng said aggrievedly: "We even found the little girl who disappeared 15 years ago. How can it be so difficult to find an adult? When I just walked up, I saw that Song Yan's father's hair seemed to have turned white again."
Every morning in and out of the business hall, anyone who sees a thin and thin figure huddled on a chair in the corner will feel bad for the old man who is waiting for the police to tell if he has news of his son. Bar."
"The identity of the deceased in the No Head case in the southern suburbs of the city has been confirmed. It is He Xiao. He Xiao has not been in contact with his family for 12 years. He Xiao's sister said that her parents had passed away one after another. She asked someone to bring news to He Xiao and let him return. They didn't know that He Xiao was killed, oh yes, I heard from her that He Xiao's son sent money to their family once after his grandparents passed away."
"A few old residents have a little impression of He Xiao, but that was all 12 years ago. He showed up very rarely, and no one has seen him since then."
Zhao Chen asked: "How many marriages does he have? Cohabitation counts."
Tang Zhe said: "The marriage history is only a short period. His ex-wife and son can't be contacted. Back then, his wife ran away with his son because of his domestic violence. She definitely didn't want to have anything to do with He Xiao. Have you ever lived with anyone before? I can't find it yet, but I don't know why there is no divorce until now."
"More than ten years have passed, and the scene of the crime has long since disappeared. Now there are only a pile of bones and a skull. If the murderer is He Xiao's cohabitant, then the local people are more likely. Moreover, the murderer used the kitchen He Xiao was chopped up with tools and made into paint to decorate the attic. His psychological quality is comparable to that of a perverted murderer, but the tools dug up in the cellar do not reveal the murderer's occupation at all. Use whatever you want."
Zhao Chen said: "I prefer to kill for love. The murderer may be He Xiao's cohabiting girlfriend at a certain period. How could a stranger quietly kill someone in someone else's house, and openly make the dead body into paint in the deceased's house?" Whitewash the house?"
"If the murderer is a woman, it will take four or five days at the fastest to kill and dismember an adult man's body, and then shred it. During this period, people will definitely be noticed. If there are helpers, let's talk about it."
"What if the murderer is a man?"
Zhao Chen said: "Then what is the relationship between him and He Xiao? Not only did he live with He Xiao, but he also won the trust of the neighbors around him. Could it be that the murderer was gay and killed him because he couldn't love him?"
Chu Xingmu stared at Zhao Chen and said, "Nonsense, his son was twenty at that time."
Zhao Chen slapped himself: "Boss, I didn't target you, I just slapped you."
Chu Xingmu said conclusively: "The perpetrator is most likely a woman. She met He Xiao and lived together. She has lived in Shinan for a long time. The motive for the crime is definitely not a property dispute. On the second night when He Zhang called the police, someone entered He Xiao's house, and it didn't take long for He Xiao's house to catch fire again, I don't think the two times were accidental coincidences."
Qi Shaocheng raised his hand and said, "I agree."
Chu Xingmu asked: "Did you find out what happened to the house?"
Zhao Chen supported his head and said: "I went to the district government's demolition office to investigate. There was a large-scale demolition project in Shinan ten years ago. Because the residents voluntarily decided whether to rebuild, some owners of self-built houses did not respond to the demolition policy. , Five years later, there was another large-scale city renovation in the suburbs, and all old self-built houses were forced to be demolished, but He Xiao's house was bypassed."
Bai Yao was taken aback: "Isn't it forced demolition? How did you get around it?"
"Someone called the working group of the Shinan demolition office, so the house has been kept until now."
"Who?"
"Wang Yuemin, but I really don't understand what the relationship between Wang Yuemin and He Xiao is." Zhao Chen scratched his head, "Wang Yuemin has been sacked, so how could this case have something to do with him? Changqing District, this power is greater than that of Zhao Hailu back then."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he found that Chu Xingmu was giving him winks. He looked around, and he was relieved without leaders and outsiders. He would be punished if he was caught talking about it publicly in the bureau.
Qi Shaocheng asked: "Boss, what should we do now?"
Chu Xingmu said: "I'll report to Director Wu first, and I have to ask him for instructions on how to investigate this case. In addition, send someone to Changqing Street to call out the monitoring of the underground parking lot of Block A of Shimao Building, and then check Sheng Changxiao's recent investigation. His whereabouts, his license plate number, the places where vehicles have passed recently, and his property expenses, if you can’t find it, check the assistants around him.”
Bai Yao asked, "Didn't Sheng Changxiao get rid of the suspicion long ago?"
"That was when we didn't know that he had contact with Wang Yuemin. Team Chen told me two days ago that Sheng Changxiao was Wang Yuemin's defense lawyer for Zhao Hailu. The smarter lawyer in that case would not care about the client no matter how much money he gave him." Will accept."
Chu Xingmu put the evidence bag in the drawer and went to find Wu Changshan.
Bai Yao and Tang Zhe looked bewildered, as if they didn't understand what Chu Xingmu meant, Lang Lang leaned beside him and said, "You guys just came to the team this year, if you have time, go make up for the cases that the team has handled before, captain I suspect that Sheng Changxiao was threatened by Wang Yuemin when he defended Zhao Hailu five years ago."
Tang Zhe asked: "Didn't Wang Yuemin's case be transferred to Team Chen in the end? He is the third public security chief who is suspected of drug trafficking after Zhao Hailu and Zhou Jinlin, and the anti-drug team will follow up and investigate."
Zhao Chen suddenly realized: "I understand what the boss means. Sheng Changxiao is Wang Yuemin's defense lawyer for Zhao Hailu. Wang Yuemin may have coerced Sheng Changxiao to take the case, but he told the demolition office to keep He Xiao's house. What's the relationship with Sheng Changxiao?"
Bai Yao asked: "Could they be father and son? Sheng Changxiao is about the same age as He Xiao's son! Didn't He Zhang's mother say that she knew the mother and son who pretended to be He Xiao and his mother?"
Tang Zhe asked another question: "But didn't the captain say that the perpetrator is most likely to be a woman? He Xiao's wife ran away from home, and I haven't heard that she and He Xiao got back together."
Zhao Chen put his hand on his chin and nodded and said: "Maybe He Xiao found a stepmother for Sheng Changxiao, and then a family emotional dispute occurred, which eventually led to a tragedy. The boss may not be right. The case of Changqing University He also believed that the murderer was a woman who escaped by jumping out of the window, so his words are not authoritative."
"Your words are authoritative, and you want to seek power and usurp the throne before I leave?" Chu Xingmu suddenly appeared and arranged tasks for them.
"Lang Lang and Xiaobai went to Changqing Street to adjust the monitoring of the underground parking lot in Block A, and then went to Li Xiaowen to find out if anyone had entered their music room. There is no need to conceal their identities."
"Xiao Tang and Zhao Chen went to check Sheng Changxiao's personal information. In addition to the ones I explained earlier, they also looked up his birthplace and former name, as well as his family information, who are his parents and where do they live now. "
"Old Qi, you find two people to go to Sheng Changxiao's law firm to watch, and report immediately if there is any situation, and act quickly."
Chu Xingmu opened the drawer and took half of the tape in the evidence bag to find Wen Ti. Li Xiaowen said that the tape recorder was given to him and Sheng Changxiao by Ying Naiqing. Li Xiaowen's tape recorder was broken, but his tape must still be there. Now, he sent a message to Wen Ti, asking him to find Li Xiaowen to confirm whether Sheng Changxiao's tape recorder and tape had been returned to Ying Naiqing.
Chu Xingmu suspected that the person who entered He Xiao's house that night was Sheng Changxiao, and he must have been involved in the subsequent fire, because Sheng Changxiao had been busy with the retrial of the Zhao Hailu case, and Chen Yuyao and Qin Wan were also preparing for litigation. Xing Mu didn't think about him at all.
The author says:
1w+, go!Banlangen granules are worth having. You must share such a delicious granule with Xiaowen. Everyone eats and wears warm clothes to prevent colds. I sniff my nose like a second idiot at the entrance of the village.
The temperature in the car gradually increased, and Chu Xingmu gave Wen Ti his coat. The traffic on Changqing Street was still flowing, and the lights on the street did not distinguish between seasons and day and night. Going for a walk in the evening, after all, the two of them are busy making trouble for each other in summer.
Within a few minutes of getting in the car, Wen Ti sneezed twice. A person with good manners even sneezed lightly, and would avoid people. It was useless for Chu Xingmu to avoid them. Instead, he asked him unhappy: "Isatis root granule Did you fall secretly?"
Wen Ti started coughing when he went back from the rented house on the night, Chu Xingmu stared at him for two days of Qiu Li Gao, and "coerced and lured" him to drink Banlangen Granules for several days in a row, for fear that he would catch a cold and have a fever, He never forgot the high fever on Chunxi Mountain.
Wen Ti put the handkerchief back into her pocket and said, "Chu Daha likes that granule very much."
Chu Xingmu glanced at the rearview mirror, and Wen Ti raised her head and smiled at the rearview mirror. The sights of each other's sinful eyes met in the rearview mirror. Swipe across, and the other party's small thoughts are seen in the eyes.
When passing by Changqing Pedestrian Street Cinema, Wen Ti saw a huge promotional poster outside the cinema, on the poster were two familiar faces, Wen Ti suddenly said: "Let's go to the movies in a few days, Gu Yan and Shen Si A new movie is coming out."
Chu Xingmu readily agreed, and when these two cases are solved, he must take a few days off work.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, Chu Daha jumped under Wen Ti's feet first and circled him. Chu Xingmu glanced at the food bowl, which was empty. He threw his coat on the armrest of the sofa and went to get dog food for Chu Daha. Wen Ti Released Wen Daju from the cage, picked up Chu Xingmu's coat and planned to hang it on the hanger, it may be because the pocket was shallow, Wen Ti just picked up the coat, and something fell out of it, Wen Ti quickly picked it up hand.
Chu Xingmu came out from the side sleeper with dog food, Wen Ti sat on the side of the coffee table with a tape recorder in his hand and looked over and over again, Wen Ti asked him: "Didn't Zhao Chen say that it will be repaired tomorrow?"
"Don't look at him who is usually cheerful. That guy is a money fanatic. He took three trips to buy parts for the bonus." So the tape recorder was repaired so quickly.
Wen Ti picked up a tape and asked, "He also bought a tape?"
Chu Xingmu added water to Chu Daha's basin, stood up and said, "It's for the sound test."
Wen Ti put the tape the size of a matchbox into the tape recorder, found the battery from another pocket of the jacket, Chu Xingmu wiped his hands and asked him: "Did you deliberately play that song so poorly in front of Li Xiaowen?" of?"
Wen Ti installed the battery, closed the back cover and said, "I want to see Jiang Ran's reaction, Li Xiaowen should be able to hear my perfunctory."
"What's Jiang Ran's reaction?"
"He must have listened to violin music in the music room, but Jennifer said that there was no one in the music room the day Jiang Ran ran out. I thought it was strange, so I went to the underground parking lot to have a look. The parking lot is monitored. The studios all have emergency doors, if Song Yan really left the music room, he can only go out through the emergency door, but Song Yan doesn't know how to play the violin, and he doesn't have the key to the music room."
Chu Xingmu also thought of the emergency door before, and asked someone to adjust the surveillance on Changqing Street, but Song Yan's whereabouts were not found. Calculated from the time when Jennifer picked up the key and the time when Song Yan had a dispute with her neighbors, he never Changqing Street returned to Honghe Road, and finally reached Changqing Street, so his disappearance should be on Changqing Street, and the place where he last appeared should be near the music room.
If Song Yan came to Changqing Street for an appointment, maybe his destination was Li Xiaowen's music room. There must have been someone in the music room at that time, but not Li Xiaowen, because he was in the Puling Western Restaurant at that time, and Wen Tichu Xingmu was together, and the three of them were waiting for Sheng Changxiao who was late.
Chu Xingmu suddenly realized that the non-capital case had made significant progress, and they focused on the non-capital case again, trying to solve the case in a short time. He picked up his mobile phone and went to the balcony. Wen Ti watched Seeing that he was on the phone, he should be explaining something to the people in the team.
Wen Ti tried to turn on the switch of the tape recorder, and there was a rattling sound from the tape recorder. About ten seconds later, a very penetrating rock music came out. Wen Ti was startled, and frantically pressed Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen is still a rock and roll youth.
Chu Xingmu came back from the balcony and glanced at the tape recorder on the table. Wen Ti was putting a blank tape into the tape compartment. Chu Xingmu said, "I haven't heard you read love poems much recently."
Wen Ti closed the tape compartment and said: "The love poems in the tape are more romantic, let's record a few."
He happily found two collections of poetry from his study room, sat beside Chu Xingmu, and said with a smile: "I try to read it affectionately, what does the captain want to hear?"
Chu Xingmu got up and went to the cabinet in the bedroom to take out Wen Ti's violin, and said, "Save the love poems on the bed to read, I want to listen to this tonight."
Wen Ti was puzzled and asked, "Will the neighbors complain about playing the violin in the middle of the night?"
After asking, he took the piano case and took out the violin.
"Laying in a residential building will definitely disturb the people, but it may be more fresh in the suburbs." Then Chu Xingmu said his intentions, "He Zhang's house is the closest to He Xiao's house, and the mother and son that Mrs. He knows are not He Xiao at all. Xiao and his mother, we passed by He Zhang’s house at night and ran into her. When chatting with comrades at the police station, the old lady said that He Xiao’s house had been playing music for a while, and asked her if she still remembered what music it was, and she said yes I don’t know, but if I listen to it again, I’m sure I’ll remember it.”
Wen Ti didn't even untie his tie. He was wearing a white shirt and picked up the violin. When Chu Xingmu was playing with the recorder, he looked up at his standing posture. Even in the music room, he deliberately stood so lazy. Chu Xingmu Mu said, "Let's begin."
Wen Ti gestured to Chu Daha, who was devouring the wolf. Compared with the violin, Chu Daha’s wolf howling was more disturbing to the people. Chu Xingmu pressed the recording switch and looked at Wen Ti with bated breath. They were not in an absolutely quiet environment. There will definitely be a lot of noise in the recorded music. As soon as Wen Ti's strings made a sound, Chu Daha squatted on the ground and raised his head and howled.
Wen Ti asked: "Is there any way to make it shut up?"
Chu Xingmu said, "Let's go to the bedroom."
The two moved their positions, Chu Xingmu did not forget to take the two poetry collections, Chu Daha was running around chasing Wen Daju in the living room, the sound of the violin was heard intermittently in the bedroom, the recording of the music was not good As far as I know, those blank tapes are all used up anyway, and only the person concerned knows what was recorded.
After learning of Song Yan's disappearance, Li Xiaowen was absent-minded all day. In the evening, he found the business card of Honghe Decoration Company and called to contact Song Fangguo. The people from Honghe Decoration said that Song Fangguo had been detained in the Public Security Bureau.
Li Xiaowen felt that Song Yan's disappearance was not a small case. Thinking of this, he was relieved of Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu's several temptations. Chu Xingmu is Wen Ti's friend, and he is Wen Ti's senior brother, but he also knows Song Yan. , Song Yan disappeared on Changqing Street. According to the police's case handling procedures, everyone who had contact with Song Yan will definitely be called to the Public Security Bureau for investigation and questioning, not to mention someone picked up Song Yan at the door of his music room. the key.
Li Xiaowen thought again, Chu Xingmu must have suspected him, maybe it was because of Wen Ti that he didn't ask him directly about Song Yan, so when Jennifer asked the teacher in the music room for an excuse to check the surveillance video, Li Xiaowen took the initiative to tell him she is gone.
Li Xiaowen sat on the piano chair and flipped through a page of the music score, and a crumpled lottery ticket fell on the keys.
He was indeed not in the music room that day. He accepted interviews from several music media during the day, and invited Wen Ti and Sheng Changxiao to have dinner at night. Only he and the two teachers had the keys to the music room, and he gave them the keys at the end of the trial class. The next day, for some reason, Li Xiaowen always felt that there was something wrong with that lottery ticket, so he picked it out of the trash can.
"Brother, you are still the same as before, you don't even relax when you are resting."
Li Xiaowen closed the score and turned around to find Sheng Changxiao coming. Sheng Changxiao looked very tired, in poor condition, and his voice was a little hoarse. Li Xiaowen smelled smoke from him. Sheng Changxiao told him that there was a difficult case, and it might be nothing. Time to come to the music room and help him.
"You haven't rested for a few days? You're in such a bad state." Li Xiaowen put the score back on the shelf, and led Sheng Changxiao out of the piano room.
In the lounge, Li Xiaowen asked him, "What would you like to drink?"
"Coffee, I just passed by the music room, and I came up when I saw the light was still on. Why don't you go home so late? Didn't you rest before ten o'clock?" When meeting Li Xiaowen, Sheng Changxiao talked a lot, probably Because they were inseparable when they were in school, and they talked about everything, and after so many years of going their separate ways, I still feel that the friends I knew when I was a student are the closest.
"I was delayed by something today. Your office is so busy, I think you seem to have lost weight." Li Xiaowen brought coffee to Sheng Changxiao.
Sheng Changxiao said: "The sum of the lawsuits of the firm is not as difficult as the lawsuits I took."
It can be heard that this is Sheng Changxiao's sincere words. In the past, he was always sure of winning every time he went to court, and he had always defended death penalty suspects. I also feel that I have no conscience. For so many years, countless families of victims and ordinary people have called him cold-blooded and inhumane. He was thrown eggs by radical family members outside the court. Animal corpses, receiving countless threatening phone calls, it seems that everyone hates him, so sometimes he thinks about what is "human nature".
Li Xiaowen asked: "Since you know that the lawsuit is difficult, why do you still take it?"
Sheng Changxiao shook his head and smiled wryly, "I can't help myself."
Li Xiaowen didn't know what he understood the word "involuntary". He was worried that no one would discuss it, so he told Sheng Changxiao about Song Yan's disappearance.
"Chu Xingmu suspects that Song Yan's disappearance is related to you?" Sheng Changxiao took a sip of coffee, his tone full of surprise.
"He and Wen Ti have been to the music room, probably because of Wen Ti's face, he didn't come to me directly, the decoration cost has already been settled, we just met Song Yan a few times, what is he doing in the music room?" Li Xiaowen also asked. Puzzled.
Sheng Changxiao asked, "Brother, have you seen Song Yan in the music room?"
"No, the music room was not open the day he disappeared, but Chu Xingmu said that someone picked up Song Yan's key at the door."
"Song Yan's key? Do you know where the key is?" Sheng Changxiao asked.
Li Xiaowen said: "He didn't say specifically, and I don't know."
After hearing this, Sheng Changxiao put the coffee back on the plate, "We had dinner with Chu Xingmu the night Song Yan disappeared."
Li Xiaowen asked in surprise: "How do you know he disappeared at night?"
Sheng Changxiao paused and explained, "The police have looked for me."
"The day after Song Yan disappeared, I received a call from the Public Security Bureau. That afternoon, he and another decorator went to my house to put up corner moldings. He should have disappeared that night. Chu Xingmu and I are a bit old. Old grievances, he suspected that I was responsible for Song Yan's disappearance, but didn't the four of us have dinner together that night? Not only did Chu Xingmu not believe it, he even sent someone to follow me for two days. If it wasn't for my assistant to testify for me, Maybe Chu Xingmu will take the opportunity to take revenge on me."
Li Xiaowen is skeptical that there is a personal grievance between Sheng Changxiao and Chu Xingmu. Although he has only met Chu Xingmu a few times, he thinks that Chu Xingmu is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between public and private, and the police and lawyers do not want to see each other. Usually, it shouldn't be to the point of revenge, but as a friend, he is still on Sheng Changxiao's side, so it's right to think that Sheng Changxiao is complaining.
Sheng Changxiao repeated again: "If you didn't invite Wen Ti to dinner that night, Chu Xingmu would definitely detain me in the Public Security Bureau. He has always wanted to catch me."
Li Xiaowen couldn't understand again, "Song Yan's disappearance has nothing to do with you, why would you think so."
"Brother, do you know why Wen Ti is hostile to me? Five years ago, the procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Zhao Hailu, the director of the Shanghe branch, for harboring and transferring drugs, covering up drug traffickers, kidnapping, and killing anti-drug officers. I defended him. Later, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for kidnapping, and one of the people he kidnapped was Chu Xingmu."
Li Xiaowen seldom comes into contact with criminal cases, at most he obtains some information on the Internet and on TV. He didn’t understand why Wen Ti was so dissatisfied with Sheng Changxiao after hearing it for a long time. It can be concluded that Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu have a very close relationship. Before knowing Sheng Changxiao's identity, he still called him "Senior Brother Sheng". No wonder he sang with Chu Xingmu and satirized Sheng Changxiao later.
Sheng Changxiao took out a few business cards from his wallet. Li Xiaowen saw that his wallet was bulging, and asked him jokingly, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed with so much cash?"
Sheng Changxiao put the money in his pocket and said: "The client pays in cash. I have been so busy these days that I haven't had time to go to the bank to deposit money. Brother, you keep these business cards. If you have a friend who wants to file a lawsuit, you can contact me." .”
"Let me help you get business?"
"I haven't been in a good mood recently, brother, just don't think I'm annoying."
Li Xiaowen suddenly asked nonchalantly: "Are you going to continue like this forever?"
Sheng Changxiao raised his head and asked: "Brother, do you also think that I am cold-blooded and inhumane, accepting all cases for the sake of money and fame, and turning a blind eye to the victim's suffering, as long as the client gives enough money, I will do whatever it takes to help them win the lawsuit. "
Li Xiaowen explained bluntly: "That's not what I meant."
Sheng Changxiao smiled wryly, and the loneliness on his face was clearly visible, "I failed my teacher's expectations in order to become a lawyer, but I had to do it, brother, you won't understand my difficulties."
Li Xiaowen suddenly remembered that 12 years ago, Sheng Changxiao came out of Ying Naiqing's office and went back to the dormitory to pack his things. Li Xiaowen asked him why he gave up music and turned to be a lawyer. He was more talented than Li Xiaowen and worked harder than Li Xiaowen. He was only 20 years old at the time , His world and future are waiting for him. He still remembers when Sheng Changxiao first entered school, he stood at the school gate and smiled at him, asking him how to get to the Conservatory of Music.
Dreams will shine at the beginning, even with that person is dazzling.
Later, Sheng Changxiao gave the violin that Ying Naiqing gave him to Li Xiaowen, and asked him to return it to Ying Naiqing. He also said at that time: "Brother, you won't understand my difficulties."
Li Xiaowen realized that he had been friends with Sheng Changxiao for 13 years, but he didn't know him at all. He used to be very shy and not good at communicating with others. Sheng Changxiao was the opposite of him. He had clear goals and was full of enthusiasm. Li Xiaowen somewhat accepted him. Sheng Changxiao is a very good friend.
Sheng Changxiao didn't want to talk about work with Li Xiaowen, so he changed the topic: "Brother, when do you have time, I talked about you with my mother two days ago, she wants to see you."
Li Xiaowen's expression was a little surprised: "Is Auntie in Qingshi? I thought she went to Jiangshi with you."
"She has been in Qingshi all the time, and her health is not very good. Now she lives in a nursing home and doesn't like to go out."
"I still have a concert. I'll go see her with you in two days. Is auntie seriously ill?"
"Schizophrenia, the mentality has been quite stable in recent years."
Li Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, "How long has it been?"
"More than ten years."
Li Xiaowen opened his mouth, and finally said: "You tell me next time you go to see her."
Sheng Changxiao nodded, and Li Xiaowen asked, "By the way, didn't I give you a key to the music room? Did you bring it?"
Sheng Changxiao said: "I will return the key to you after the trial class. It should be on your desk."
Li Xiaowen and Sheng Changxiao looked at each other, "I'll look for it, if someone steals it, no one will be responsible for anything."
Sheng Changxiao picked up his coat and followed out. Li Xiaowen was looking for keys in the office. Sheng Changxiao said goodbye to him, and Li Xiaowen said he would not see him off.
He found the fourth key on the desk. It was given to him by Li Xiaowen when Sheng Changxiao came to supervise the work. He didn't know when he would return. Li Xiaowen wondered if Sheng Changxiao changed his major because her mother suffered from schizophrenia. ?
The tuition fees at the Conservatory of Music were expensive, and Sheng Changxiao's family was in very tight financial conditions back then. Perhaps it was because of this that he changed his major.
Li Xiaowen put the key in the drawer and locked it. He really didn't know much about Sheng Changxiao. He only knew that his dream was to become a violinist and to be able to hold a solo concert in the future, and Li Xiaowen had already realized all of these.
This night, Li Xiaowen fell asleep listening to the violin song "The Bell", while Wen Ti was woken up the next morning by the song he recorded.
It was still dark at six o'clock, and Chu Xingmu had already packed up his things and was ready to go to work. Seeing Wen Ti woke up, Chu Xingmu turned off the tape recorder and took out the tape inside and said: "There is a meeting in the morning, you will be later." It’s okay to go, breakfast is in the pot, if you go to the studio today, give the tape recorder to Li Xiaowen, and take a walk with Chu Daha.”
Wen Ti walked out of the bedroom and took a look at the steaming casserole in the kitchen. He used to sleep very lightly, waking up with a slight noise. Since he lived with Chu Xingmu, he didn't seem to suffer from insomnia so easily.
"I'm going to the kindergarten today to watch Jiang Ran's activities. He got a ticket for me last time. Maybe he won't go to the bureau today." Wen Ti handed the coat to Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu put on his shoes, took his coat and said, "A day of absenteeism will deduct [-]."
Wen Ti handed him the clothes and said, "I'm not short of money."
Chu Xingmu choked for a moment, the deduction of wages had no deterrent effect on Wen Ti, it depends on the time is approaching, Chu Xingmu took the bag and opened the door and went out, Wen Ti stood at the door and stared at Chu Daha, Wen Ti still Having never walked the dog, the door opened from the outside after a few seconds, and Chu Xingmu squeezed in through the crack of the door and kissed Wen Ti, "I'll give you a day off today, and dress warmly when you go out."
The door was closed again, Wen Ti stood in the living room in a daze, Wen Ti stroked Chu Daha's dog's head: "Your dad wakes up early and stays late to earn some dog food for you."
Chu Daha squatted at Wen Ti's feet sticking out his tongue, Wen Daju lay on the armrest of the sofa and licked his paws, the gap between the rich and the poor suddenly appeared.
Wen Ti washed up and went to the kitchen to serve porridge and side dishes. During breakfast time, she turned on the TV to watch the entertainment news for a while, poured some water on the emerald green succulents on the TV cabinet, explained the day's work schedule to Jennifer, and called the company's secretary to inquire. His itinerary, knowing that he didn't need to go to the company for a meeting, asked Jennifer to send the documents to him, turned on the computer and wrote a thesis for half an hour, asked Professor Jiang some questions, and confirmed the next meeting with Zhong Changxin At nine o'clock on time, I took Chu Daha downstairs for a walk. During this period, Chu Daha lost his hands three times, and Wen Ti was not worried that Chu Daha would never come back.
Wen Ti walked around the neighborhood, and some grandpas and aunts who came home after buying vegetables asked him why he didn’t see Captain Chu. Wen Ti politely said “Good morning” to the other party first, and finally said that Chu Xingmu had gone to work , although he lived in Chu Xingmu's house for a few months, he hadn't walked around Chu Xingmu's neighborhood very much, and Chu Xingmu would never have thought that Wen Ti would tell the people downstairs who had been worrying about when he would find a partner for several years. what.
After completing the important task of walking the dog that Chu Xingmu entrusted to him, Wen Ti changed his clothes and went to find Li Xiaowen. He wanted to return the tape recorder to Li Xiaowen. In the morning, he also made an appointment with Jiang Ran's mother to discuss with her whether Jiang Ran would attend class next semester. In the afternoon, he had to go to the kindergarten, and the schedule for the day was full. In fact, his work was no less than that of Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu parked the car downstairs, and when he was walking into the building, he saw Tang Zhe walking in like stepping on cotton, so he stopped and waited for him for a while, "Xiao Tang, are you still awake?"
Tang Zhe skillfully put the bag under his armpit, rubbed his hands and trotted to Chu Xingmu's side, and said, "Last night, the neighbors next door had too much quarrel, so I didn't sleep well."
Not long after entering the door, Han Yang came up from downstairs with the test report, and pointed out that he was looking for Xia Ci, but Chu Xingmu said that he had asked for leave today.
"He is so busy at the end of the year, how dare he ask for leave?" Han Yang handed over the test report to Chu Xingmu.
Chu Xingmu took the test report and returned to his work station, "You still have time to gossip, why doesn't he dare to ask for leave?"
Han Yang took out an evidence bag from his overalls pocket and put it on Chu Xingmu's desk, "Xia Ci dug it out from the soil yesterday, let me deal with it, I will give you back Don't come to me for it."
Chu Xingmu picked up the evidence bag, looked at the tape that was half the size of a matchbox inside and asked Han Yang, "Is there a tape recorder besides the tape?"
"What era is this? Except for people who collect tapes, who still listens to this? You already use the radio." Han Yang gave Chu Xingmu a bad mouthful.
Chu Xingmu pushed and shoved him: "I just want to make it easier for me to know the important affairs of the country."
If it hadn't been for playing with tapes and recorders all night last night, Chu Xingmu would not be sure that the half of the cracked plastic shell in the evidence bag was a tape, and it seemed to be about the same size as the ones he used last night.
Han Yang turned his head and asked, "What good days have you had in your team recently?"
Lang Lang passed by with a stack of files in his arms and replied, "Christmas next week, New Year's Day next week, I'm so busy, how can there be a good day?"
Han Yang slapped his head: "I said why did Xia Ci ask for leave at this juncture, and I'm busy too, and there are still a few autopsy reports that I haven't finished yet."
No one in the office paid any attention to him, so Bai Yao asked Lang Lang with a pile of documents to be copied: "Sister Lang, why did the deputy team go? Blind date?"
Lang Lang said, "I went back to my hometown to worship his parents."
"Ah? Didn't Zhao Chen say that the deputy team is an orphan? Then when will he come back?"
Lang Lang said: "In previous years, I would go there for one day. His story is a long one. When you have time, go gossip with him."
Bai Yao shook her head, how could she dare to gossip about Xia Ci's privacy, seeing Chu Xingmu watching them, Bai Yao hurriedly carried the documents and went to copy them.
Tang Zhe went downstairs to deliver the materials, and when he came back, he was a little downcast. Zhao Chen asked him what was wrong, and Tang Zhe couldn't bear to say, "Song Yan's father is here again."
Song Yan's father sat in the police station for a whole day. A few days ago, Song Fangguo accompanied him to search for him on Honghe Road for a few days. Everyone who asked him said he had never seen Song Yan. After Song Fangguo was detained in the police station, he has been sitting Wait outside.
Qi Shaocheng said aggrievedly: "We even found the little girl who disappeared 15 years ago. How can it be so difficult to find an adult? When I just walked up, I saw that Song Yan's father's hair seemed to have turned white again."
Every morning in and out of the business hall, anyone who sees a thin and thin figure huddled on a chair in the corner will feel bad for the old man who is waiting for the police to tell if he has news of his son. Bar."
"The identity of the deceased in the No Head case in the southern suburbs of the city has been confirmed. It is He Xiao. He Xiao has not been in contact with his family for 12 years. He Xiao's sister said that her parents had passed away one after another. She asked someone to bring news to He Xiao and let him return. They didn't know that He Xiao was killed, oh yes, I heard from her that He Xiao's son sent money to their family once after his grandparents passed away."
"A few old residents have a little impression of He Xiao, but that was all 12 years ago. He showed up very rarely, and no one has seen him since then."
Zhao Chen asked: "How many marriages does he have? Cohabitation counts."
Tang Zhe said: "The marriage history is only a short period. His ex-wife and son can't be contacted. Back then, his wife ran away with his son because of his domestic violence. She definitely didn't want to have anything to do with He Xiao. Have you ever lived with anyone before? I can't find it yet, but I don't know why there is no divorce until now."
"More than ten years have passed, and the scene of the crime has long since disappeared. Now there are only a pile of bones and a skull. If the murderer is He Xiao's cohabitant, then the local people are more likely. Moreover, the murderer used the kitchen He Xiao was chopped up with tools and made into paint to decorate the attic. His psychological quality is comparable to that of a perverted murderer, but the tools dug up in the cellar do not reveal the murderer's occupation at all. Use whatever you want."
Zhao Chen said: "I prefer to kill for love. The murderer may be He Xiao's cohabiting girlfriend at a certain period. How could a stranger quietly kill someone in someone else's house, and openly make the dead body into paint in the deceased's house?" Whitewash the house?"
"If the murderer is a woman, it will take four or five days at the fastest to kill and dismember an adult man's body, and then shred it. During this period, people will definitely be noticed. If there are helpers, let's talk about it."
"What if the murderer is a man?"
Zhao Chen said: "Then what is the relationship between him and He Xiao? Not only did he live with He Xiao, but he also won the trust of the neighbors around him. Could it be that the murderer was gay and killed him because he couldn't love him?"
Chu Xingmu stared at Zhao Chen and said, "Nonsense, his son was twenty at that time."
Zhao Chen slapped himself: "Boss, I didn't target you, I just slapped you."
Chu Xingmu said conclusively: "The perpetrator is most likely a woman. She met He Xiao and lived together. She has lived in Shinan for a long time. The motive for the crime is definitely not a property dispute. On the second night when He Zhang called the police, someone entered He Xiao's house, and it didn't take long for He Xiao's house to catch fire again, I don't think the two times were accidental coincidences."
Qi Shaocheng raised his hand and said, "I agree."
Chu Xingmu asked: "Did you find out what happened to the house?"
Zhao Chen supported his head and said: "I went to the district government's demolition office to investigate. There was a large-scale demolition project in Shinan ten years ago. Because the residents voluntarily decided whether to rebuild, some owners of self-built houses did not respond to the demolition policy. , Five years later, there was another large-scale city renovation in the suburbs, and all old self-built houses were forced to be demolished, but He Xiao's house was bypassed."
Bai Yao was taken aback: "Isn't it forced demolition? How did you get around it?"
"Someone called the working group of the Shinan demolition office, so the house has been kept until now."
"Who?"
"Wang Yuemin, but I really don't understand what the relationship between Wang Yuemin and He Xiao is." Zhao Chen scratched his head, "Wang Yuemin has been sacked, so how could this case have something to do with him? Changqing District, this power is greater than that of Zhao Hailu back then."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he found that Chu Xingmu was giving him winks. He looked around, and he was relieved without leaders and outsiders. He would be punished if he was caught talking about it publicly in the bureau.
Qi Shaocheng asked: "Boss, what should we do now?"
Chu Xingmu said: "I'll report to Director Wu first, and I have to ask him for instructions on how to investigate this case. In addition, send someone to Changqing Street to call out the monitoring of the underground parking lot of Block A of Shimao Building, and then check Sheng Changxiao's recent investigation. His whereabouts, his license plate number, the places where vehicles have passed recently, and his property expenses, if you can’t find it, check the assistants around him.”
Bai Yao asked, "Didn't Sheng Changxiao get rid of the suspicion long ago?"
"That was when we didn't know that he had contact with Wang Yuemin. Team Chen told me two days ago that Sheng Changxiao was Wang Yuemin's defense lawyer for Zhao Hailu. The smarter lawyer in that case would not care about the client no matter how much money he gave him." Will accept."
Chu Xingmu put the evidence bag in the drawer and went to find Wu Changshan.
Bai Yao and Tang Zhe looked bewildered, as if they didn't understand what Chu Xingmu meant, Lang Lang leaned beside him and said, "You guys just came to the team this year, if you have time, go make up for the cases that the team has handled before, captain I suspect that Sheng Changxiao was threatened by Wang Yuemin when he defended Zhao Hailu five years ago."
Tang Zhe asked: "Didn't Wang Yuemin's case be transferred to Team Chen in the end? He is the third public security chief who is suspected of drug trafficking after Zhao Hailu and Zhou Jinlin, and the anti-drug team will follow up and investigate."
Zhao Chen suddenly realized: "I understand what the boss means. Sheng Changxiao is Wang Yuemin's defense lawyer for Zhao Hailu. Wang Yuemin may have coerced Sheng Changxiao to take the case, but he told the demolition office to keep He Xiao's house. What's the relationship with Sheng Changxiao?"
Bai Yao asked: "Could they be father and son? Sheng Changxiao is about the same age as He Xiao's son! Didn't He Zhang's mother say that she knew the mother and son who pretended to be He Xiao and his mother?"
Tang Zhe asked another question: "But didn't the captain say that the perpetrator is most likely to be a woman? He Xiao's wife ran away from home, and I haven't heard that she and He Xiao got back together."
Zhao Chen put his hand on his chin and nodded and said: "Maybe He Xiao found a stepmother for Sheng Changxiao, and then a family emotional dispute occurred, which eventually led to a tragedy. The boss may not be right. The case of Changqing University He also believed that the murderer was a woman who escaped by jumping out of the window, so his words are not authoritative."
"Your words are authoritative, and you want to seek power and usurp the throne before I leave?" Chu Xingmu suddenly appeared and arranged tasks for them.
"Lang Lang and Xiaobai went to Changqing Street to adjust the monitoring of the underground parking lot in Block A, and then went to Li Xiaowen to find out if anyone had entered their music room. There is no need to conceal their identities."
"Xiao Tang and Zhao Chen went to check Sheng Changxiao's personal information. In addition to the ones I explained earlier, they also looked up his birthplace and former name, as well as his family information, who are his parents and where do they live now. "
"Old Qi, you find two people to go to Sheng Changxiao's law firm to watch, and report immediately if there is any situation, and act quickly."
Chu Xingmu opened the drawer and took half of the tape in the evidence bag to find Wen Ti. Li Xiaowen said that the tape recorder was given to him and Sheng Changxiao by Ying Naiqing. Li Xiaowen's tape recorder was broken, but his tape must still be there. Now, he sent a message to Wen Ti, asking him to find Li Xiaowen to confirm whether Sheng Changxiao's tape recorder and tape had been returned to Ying Naiqing.
Chu Xingmu suspected that the person who entered He Xiao's house that night was Sheng Changxiao, and he must have been involved in the subsequent fire, because Sheng Changxiao had been busy with the retrial of the Zhao Hailu case, and Chen Yuyao and Qin Wan were also preparing for litigation. Xing Mu didn't think about him at all.
The author says:
1w+, go!Banlangen granules are worth having. You must share such a delicious granule with Xiaowen. Everyone eats and wears warm clothes to prevent colds. I sniff my nose like a second idiot at the entrance of the village.
