Chasing the Mist

"Gu Xun?" The woman's voice was soft.

How could a woman call?

Gu Xun rubbed his eyes, sat up on the bed, and said in a correct tone, "Hello, who is it?"

"You...can't hear...my voice?"

Gu Xun ran his brain quickly, searching for the source of the relative sound, but couldn't think of it for a while, "Sorry."

There was silence for a while, and after a while, she slowly said, "I am... Wu Shanshan."

Gu Xun was slightly taken aback, this name hadn't appeared for a long time, so long that he couldn't remember her voice, he politely replied: "Hello."

"Gu Xun...are you still angry with me?" Wu Shanshan hesitated.

"I've never been angry... What's wrong with you?"

"Then why are you ignoring me? For seven years, I...everyday..." Wu Shanshan answered irrelevantly.

"It's okay, I'm hanging up."

Wu Shanshan: "I'm getting married soon."

Gu Xun: "Congratulations."

"It's my birthday, can you come? I don't mean anything else, I just want to get together with you, Yuan He and Yuanyuan are going, the four of us haven't seen each other for a long time."

Gu Xun glanced at the time, pulled off the clothes beside the bed, put on the clothes, and said, "Sorry, I can't get away recently."

"Checking the ice sculpture of a human head in the world of ice and snow?" Wu Shanshan was reluctant to hang up, and wanted to chat as much as possible, even if it was about a horrible murder case, she would be happy.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Gu Xun put on his slippers and hurried out.

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"I'm too late for work, bye." Gu Xun hung up the phone, put the phone in the storage rack next to the sink, turned on the faucet to wash his face without turning on the water temperature, and after a while, he turned off the faucet, looked up at himself in the mirror, The years did not leave traces on the face, but a thick layer of snow fell on the heart, covering some people and things.

Wu Shanshan's phone call brought back the time when she was young and frivolous, and the past became a series of frames in her mind to form an exclusive movie. Gu Xun looked at the familiar faces running and laughing in the movie, especially strange, It was as if those people had never appeared in his life.

More than ten years ago, Gu Xun, who was in high school, slept in class and smoked after class. His daily behavior was completely unrelated to that of a good student, but his grades were always among the best.

His facial features are tough and handsome, and he is both good and evil. He was especially liked by girls in school. At that time, Wu Shanshan was one of the many suitors.

God gave Gu Xun superior appearance and IQ than ordinary people, and also took away his love nerves. He was completely ignorant of love affairs until the year he graduated from the police academy. With the encouragement of his friends, he chased Wu Shan for seven years. Shan just turned positive.

A strong knock on the door interrupted Gu Xun's memories, and Lin Yiran's cold and emotionless voice came from outside the door: "There are still 35 minutes before work time, and it takes 32 minutes to get from home to the police station without traffic jams. Team Gu, You have 2 minutes to wash up."

Living under the same roof for 12 years, there are n ways to tell him to wash up quickly, Lin Yiran chooses the most hurtful one, obviously familiar with the intimate, but he insists on keeping distance, turning into an awkward relationship that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Lin Yiran's attitude didn't last for a day or two. Gu Xun had long been used to it, but for some reason today, his heart burst into flames, he kicked open the door, grabbed a down jacket in the living room, and strode out, head Also do not return.

Lin Yiran put on his scarf, followed out unhurriedly, opened the car door, and saw the water drops on Gu Xun's forehead that hadn't been wiped dry, he took out a tissue and handed it over.

The corner of Gu Xun's mouth was raised, and he sneered. He glanced at him, took the tissue and rolled it into a ball, threw it at his feet, lowered his head, took out a key from the storage box, and threw it at him, "There is a key in the new capital of Baicheng." Get the key to the house, move in if you see me unhappy, don't feel wronged here."

"Thank you." Lin Yiran took the key naturally, as if he didn't hear Gu Xun's anger.

With this cold and emotionless tone again, Gu Xun suddenly had enough, turned around and grabbed Lin Yiran by the neck, and leaned closer to him, "Move out of my house, leave my team, I'll pretend I didn't know you before, don't make trouble every day, Deliberately disgusting people, okay?"

Lin Yiran had an expressionless face, and when he heard the word disgusting, his eyebrows moved, and a flame quickly ignited between his brows and eyes, and he suddenly punched Gu Xun.

The punch came so suddenly, Gu Xun froze on the spot, the pain on his face spread into his heart through his flesh and blood, he clenched his fingers tightly, his joints made a noise, his fist raised and then fell, and finally landed on the steering wheel, the car suddenly made a long noise. "Lin Yiran, what the hell did I provoke you?"

In the quiet carriage, the four eyes met, and the two fires burned silently, quickly burning each other to ashes.

Lin Yiran stared at the red marks on Gu Xun's face, and swallowed the words several times, his throat was extremely dry, as if he had lost the function of language, every time he wanted to open his heart, he felt this way, which made him very irritable, got out of the car, flung himself on Open the car door and go straight out of the community.

Gu Xun took out a cigarette, lit one, took two puffs, looked up at Lin Yiran's back, took long steps with straight legs, and gradually walked away. go up.

"Get in the car." He pressed the car window, and the cold wind blew in, making his voice even more sandy, and he could not refuse.

Lin Yiran strode forward with long legs and continued to walk, turning a blind eye to him.

"Come up if you don't want to be late."

Lin Yiran lifted his sleeves to check the time, no longer stubborn, opened the car door and got in the car.

Gu Xun avoided the main road and turned into the village in the city to take a small road. The large car drove very clumsily on the narrow and winding narrow road. Fortunately, Gu Xun had good driving skills and fast speed, which did not cause traffic jams in the village.

Driving out of the village in the city, Gu Xun's cell phone rang, and the screen displayed: Yuan He.

He was busy driving, and directly pressed the hands-free button, a rough man's rough voice came out of the receiver, "Xun'er, where are you?"

Gu Xun was busy driving, and said, "On the way to the police station."

"Investigate the case? Have you caught the murderer of the ice sculpture? My sister was too scared to go to the ice and snow world." After the ice sculpture case was fermented on the Internet, it caused great panic among the citizens of Baicheng, and became the most concerned hotspot after dinner. According to the news, Yuan He's rich second generation, and most of his friends are also rich second generations. Among the people he knows, he only looks for such a policeman, and seizes the opportunity to ask the case first.

"It's only been three days since the case happened. How could it be possible to catch the murderer so quickly? Do you think the police are acting in a movie when they handle the case? If you have something to say, you will arrive at the police station later. I don't have time to answer the phone and listen to you."

Yuan He's father's company is running stably. He seldom goes to the company when he has nothing to do. He always harasses Gu Xun when he has nothing to do. Gu Xun directly blocks him when he is busy investigating cases.

He knew that Gu Xun was desperate to investigate the case, so he laughed twice: "Wu Shanshan called me and invited us to her last single birthday party. I heard that Zheng Yuan will also go. Brother wants to reunite with his old lover. I agreed straight away... a meal, a few hours, can't delay the investigation, Xun'er, please don't hit me in the face."

"No." Gu Xun hung up the phone.

When Gu Xun stepped into the office, Zheng Tiancheng immediately surrounded him, "From the afternoon of the 29th to the 31st, the road surveillance near Baicheng Normal University did not see Gu Jingjing... Sigh... Boss, what's wrong with your face? Who is so bold to attack you?" police?"

When Zheng Dasang asked, other people in the office turned their heads to look at Gu Xun, their eyes filled with question marks, who is so bold as to break ground on Tai Sui?

All eyes forced Gu Xun to have nowhere to dodge, he couldn't think of any good reason at the moment, so he said indiscriminately, "Don't even look at what my dog ​​kicked."

Lin Yiran: "..."

"No, the red seal was obviously made by someone, and besides, Boss, you don't have a dog at home." Zheng Tiancheng refused to let go.

Meng Jia threw a bottle of sweet milk to Gu Xun, gave Zheng Tiancheng a random look, and changed the subject: "According to Gu Jingjing's roommate, after the last class on Friday afternoon, she went back to the dormitory to remake up, changed into new clothes, and left school Why didn't the school gate monitor catch it? Could it be that she climbed over the wall and went out?"

Gu Xun took a sip of milk, "Gu Jingjing lives in No. 5 dormitory building. There is a small road next to No. 5 building to go out. That small road is not monitored."

Meng Jia flipped through the notes and found that Gu Jingjing's roommate did not mention this path, "How does Boss know there is a path nearby?"

Gu Xun didn't speak, Lin Yiran seemed to think of something, his face darkened, and he raised his legs and walked to the work station.

Meng Jia looked at Lin Yiran's back, confused, obviously asking Gu Xun a question, why is he unhappy.

Lin Yiran was also uncertain, so Gu Xun was not surprised, so he ignored it and did not answer Meng Jia's question, "Next, we will verify Li Shengzhou's itinerary for the last two days of the year; find out the source of Gu Jingjing's living expenses; and visit the roommates who have concealed things. "

The crowd dispersed, and Gu Xun didn't stay idle, and went straight to the laboratory.

The pair of strawberry socks in the snow, after DNA comparison, are Gu Jingjing's socks.

Gu Xun picked up the evidence bag and stared at the socks carefully. The water pink socks had turned light black on the soles of their feet. It seemed that Gu Jingjing had worn them for a while before his death.Did the murderer leave it unintentionally, or did he stay at the scene on purpose?

He didn't leave a trace at the scene of the crime. From this point of view, Gu Xun is more inclined to the latter, but why did he leave Gu Jingjing's old socks at the scene?What do you want to express?

The investigation has only just begun, and there are still many questions that cannot be solved. Gu Xun smoked a cigarette, and put a question mark on the socks question and kept it in his mind.

The forensic doctor worked overtime overnight, and the autopsy report was delivered quickly. The forensic doctor judged that Gu Jingjing's death was caused by excessive bleeding and the wound on his neck was extremely smooth. The murderer had a certain understanding of anatomy, so he might be a medical practitioner or a related occupation.

Gu Xun put down the autopsy report and called Meng Jia, "What major did Li Shengzhou study?"

Meng Jia replied crisply, "Both majors in undergraduate and master's degree are in mathematics."

Gu Xun asked again: "Where are you now?"

"On the way to the Graduate School of the University of Cypress."

"Wait for me at the main gate of the school, let's go together." After speaking, Gu Xun hurriedly hung up the phone.

At the gate of Baicheng University, two figures, one tall and one short, fought side by side. The short one kept rubbing his hands and exhaling, jumping in place, while the tall one stood like a pine, with his back straight.

Gu Xun honked the horn and pressed the window, "Get in the car."

The car door opened, and a gust of cold air rushed in first, "If you don't come, I will be frozen into an ice sculpture."

In the rearview mirror, Gu Xun glanced at Meng Jia, who was pale, and felt guilty, but said, "If you freeze into an ice sculpture, everyone will think that the murderer committed another crime."

Meng Jia pouted: "Boss, do you understand how to be sympathetic and cherish jade? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend."

Having been single for a long time, I really don't understand girls more and more. Gu Xun smiled to himself, "It's my fault for letting the policewoman suffer from the cold. After finishing business, let's have hot pot for dinner."

When talking, Gu Xun subconsciously looked at Lin Yiran in the rearview mirror. He was sitting upright by the car window, with a gloomy face, deep pool-like eyes, no emotion, and seemed not interested in what they were talking about.

Sometimes Gu Xun feels that he is like an AI person who lives according to the program. The slippers are always placed on the left side of the first row of the shoe rack, the light blue and light sheets are always spotless, and he runs for an hour every morning in spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine... ..every little thing is in order, because he is meticulous and organized, unlike the bear kids of the same age, Gu Xun liked him very much in the past, and tried his best to make him happy.

Recalling the days when he chased after him and called him brother and made his tail, the corners of Gu Xun's mouth raised unconsciously, and then drooped down again in an instant, the past seemed like a lifetime away.

Hearing this, Meng Jia laughed, "Thank you, Boss."

The relationship between superiors and subordinates is harmonious, and the atmosphere in the car is also comfortable. Meng Jia is in a good mood, and the tentacles of gossip reach out to Lin Yiran, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Xun straightened his back and subconsciously leaned back, afraid that he might not be able to hear Lin Yiran's answer clearly from a distance.
