The glass of wine last night never disappeared

"What are you talking about...as if if I don't help you, you won't buy me a drink?!" Shen Xingchen didn't want to talk to him, and leaned lazily aside with his eyes closed.

"Now the case is in the hands of that girl from the Municipal Bureau. If you don't help me, how can I investigate?" Chu Qingyang shook Shen Xingchen's arm, pretending to be coquettish and said.

"Chu Qingyang," Shen Xingchen suddenly became serious, "You're violating discipline, do you know that? You don't want your fucking future by robbing the city bureau, do you?!"

"How could it be a case of robbery?" Chu Qingyang said with a righteous face, "The city bureau is in the hands of that stupid old woman, can it be okay? I am also doing this for the livelihood of the people in the world, and I want to catch this heinous criminal as soon as possible." murderer."

"Get out!" Shen Xingchen lay down, "I'm not going to ask whoever I like."

"Oh, my little Fourteen—are you willing to see me on this long, long journey alone?!" Chu Qingyang's image of a tough guy disappeared without a trace in an instant. It seems like a mangy dog ​​for meat and bones.

"You investigate the case privately without support. If it is really a perverted killer, it will be very dangerous!"

"I'm here for the justice of the world, I'm not afraid, I believe—the evil does not suppress the good!"

"You can press it, I won't go!"

"Shen Xingchen! Why don't you eat oil and salt?" Chu Qingyang was anxious.

"It's not the first day you know me." Shen Xingchen closed his eyes and didn't look at him.

"Then you said, if the professional killer knew that he had been killed by two people, how would he react? Would he join me in finding the murderer and clearing himself of his grievances?" Chu Qingyang suddenly thought of it What, "When I catch him, it's the same to slap the Interpol in the face first! It's fine if you don't help, I will find a few friends to spread the news later, and see if I can lure him out first."

As Chu Qingyang said, he felt that he had thought of a good idea, so he was about to get up and leave, but Shen Xingchen grabbed the corner of his clothes—

"Wait, this time, I want to have a good meal, don't fool me with the food stall!" After finishing speaking, Shen Xingchen sat up, regained consciousness, and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

"As long as the case is solved, you can get whatever you want. You can take the books from the book bar!" Chu Qingyang twisted happily in the living room, not noticing that Lin Yuan was sitting on the side with a book in his hand, but Frowning in a daze.

Four or ten minutes later, Shen Xingchen followed Chu Qingyang into the gate of the branch office, and went straight into Chu Qingyang's office.

"Brother Shen, it's been a long time." A young detective bumped into them in the aisle and greeted Shen Xingchen.Shen Xingchen smiled at him, nodded, without stopping.The young detective didn't care, and continued to walk forward with a smile.

A little girl next to him looked like an intern who had just arrived, and asked in confusion: "Brother Wang, who is this, so handsome, have you never seen it in the team?"

"You just came here, so you don't know him. A friend of the Chu team is also in the system. I heard that he is engaged in anti-smuggling," Xiao Wang suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice. came up."

"This... is against the rules," the little girl said in embarrassment, "doesn't it mean that the case cannot be disclosed at will?"

"Where is randomness?" Xiao Wang said softly, "That is the strongest brain of Team Chu. It is said that the two have been together for more than ten years. It is said that they are... that~"

"Which one?" The little girl leaned forward and asked curiously.

"Go, go, you little girl, don't inquire about the leader's privacy." Xiao Wang pushed her away, and then changed the subject.If Chu Qingyang knew that he, the most straightest member of the universe, was so rumored in the team, he would probably kill the entire criminal police team...

Shen Xingchen was sitting on Chu Qingyang's chair, looking at the case files in the computer, and Chu Qingyang was standing beside him.

"This counselor also graduated from this school?"

"Well, Marx is a professional." Chu Qingyang kept the files firmly in his mind, and he could recall them without looking at the computer at all.

"Where's the security guard, how long has he been working at the school?"

"Fifty-eight years."

"Are you stupid? Can't you see such an obvious connection?" Shen Xingchen raised his head and looked at the dazed Chu Qingyang in front of him.

"You mean...the two have been in the same school together for more than ten years?" Chu Qingyang said, "What kind of clue is this?"

"You said that this counselor's social circle is full of rich second-generation officials?"

"That's right, he is extremely generous in dealing with people, and he only needs to throw money on the road."

"Sprinkling money? A person with brain problems must have had a serious second-year illness when he was in school. The investigation of his background can't be limited to the past few years, it should start from his student days." Shen Xingchen said with a blank expression on his face.

"Then we have to look back 20 years. Does it take that long?" Chu Qingyang frowned.

"Look through the files and look for his former classmates, especially the ones with whom he didn't have a good relationship. I want to know if there is anything disgusting about this second-generation star." After finishing speaking, Shen Xingchen lit a cigarette and puffed on it. After taking a sip, Lin Yuan controlled the cigarette at home, and the cigarette was about to expire.Then he continued, "And that security guard, what did you learn when you visited?"

"According to other security guards, the deceased may have been single, paid a lot of money, had a good relationship with his colleagues, smoked cigarettes, and wore expensive clothes. For this reason, they often laughed at him, saying that he was poor as a security guard. Pretending to be garlic, there is nothing special about it, and it can be regarded as an honest duty, and never enmity with others."

"Is there any problem with the bank account?"

"No problem, the running water is the salary, bonus and overtime pay, which is about four or five thousand a month. He lives alone, eats good food and wears good clothes. There is nothing suspicious." Chu Qingyang suddenly thought of something, " By the way, a security guard said that he was very gossip."

"Gossip?"

"Yes, I thought, a bachelor usually has nothing to do, so it's understandable to gossip when he has nothing to do." Chu Qingyang said indifferently, while Shen Xingchen fell into thought beside him.

"How can a bachelor solve his physical problems if he doesn't find a wife yet? What about the live photos?" Shen Xingchen said, leaning back in his chair.

"Aren't you too lazy to move your finger?!" Chu Qingyang gave him a blank look.

"Look here," Shen Xingchen pointed to a corner in the photo, "When I was working the night shift in the monitoring room that day, I discovered that there was a problem with the monitoring location of Jiudong."

"Is there a problem?" Chu Qingyang was surprised.

"When we were in school, I went to the monitoring room once, do you remember?"

"Is that when you arrested someone?"

"Yes, there was already a legend about Jiudong at that time, so I deliberately glanced at Jiudong's surveillance, and the location is different from the current one!" Shen Xingchen took a puff of cigarette and said with a slight frown.

"Different?"

"Look here, the camera of Jiudong has been twisted and turned at a certain angle, resulting in a blind spot that the surveillance cannot capture." Shen Xingchen pointed to the photo and said.

Chu Qingyang scrambled on the computer, and it took a long time to realize: "Fuck, it seems to be true. How did you practice your eyes?"

"It's good to have eyes from a young age, otherwise why do you get such high scores in every exam?!" Shen Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

"Do you still remember what you glanced at ten years ago?"

"My mind is very weird. I don't know why I remember some inexplicable things so clearly. Some things I should remember, but I can't remember them all." Shen Xingchen said helplessly.

"This distorted camera shows that this is a man-made case, not a suicide... The murderer distorted the camera but was not caught. It can only be a situation—" Shen Xingchen put the cigarette in his mouth. mouth.

"Power outage for 10 minutes?" Chu Qingyang suddenly remembered that there was a power grid overhaul a year ago, and the whole city was divided into regions, and the power was cut for 10 minutes in turn.

"Yes," Shen Xingchen said, "the murderer had planned it long ago, and he knew when the school's power was cut off. There have always been rumors in Jiudong that no one would go near that place, so no one would care about the cameras over there. It's already crooked. As for the surveillance video, the security guards don't care if the camera is crooked or not, but if it's facing the sky, no one cares."

"So...the murderer is someone from the school?" Chu Qingyang's eyes lit up.

"If the security guard survives, will the counselor commit suicide?" Shen Xingchen asked.

"That's right..." Chu Qingyang frowned suddenly, "You mean..."

"If the security guard didn't die, no one would notice that it was a murder. The murderer risked being exposed and wanted to kill the security guard. So, I guess... it was a vendetta." Shen Xingchen put his hands on the table and tapped his fingertips. desktop.

"Vendement?" Chu Qingyang looked surprised, "What kind of vendetta involves a second-generation star and a security guard?"

"It's going to be a series of interviews, so I said, we should start the investigation from his student days, mainly looking for classmates who didn't have a good relationship with him, and asking about some bad deeds, including gossip. Sometimes, gossip is the key clue to solve the case.

"As for the security guard...how is your skill at picking the door?" Shen Xingchen raised his head, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as the two of them left the gate of the branch office, Shen Xingchen saw Lin Yuan leaning on the motorcycle, waiting in the shade of a tree by the side of the road.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xingchen asked Chu Qingyang to drive first, and walked to Lin Yuan by himself.

"I'm here to pick you up." Lin Yuan zipped Shen Xingchen's jacket all the way above his chest, "It's cold in spring, be careful of catching a cold."

"Are you so blatant?" Shen Xingchen muttered.

"what?"

"We still have something to do, don't go home now, you go back first, you don't have to wait for me to eat tonight." Shen Xingchen patted his arm, turned to leave.

"Brother Fourteen," Lin Yuan stopped him, "I'll go with you."

Shen Xingchen thought for a while, then nodded - "Let's go".

Lin Yuan parked the motorcycle at the entrance of the police station, followed Shen Xingchen into Chu Qingyang's jeep, and the two sat in the back row.Shen Xingchen sat in the back row every time, as if he treated Chu Qingyang as the driver.Only Chu Qingyang knew that he was too lazy to put on his seat belt in the co-pilot.

"Why did you bring him here?" Seeing Lin Yuan, Chu Qingyang was a little unhappy, thinking about the young man's unkindness to him, glanced back, and said, "Children, we are not going on an outing!"

"I'm not a child, I'm 24!" Lin Yuan didn't want to talk to Chu Qingyang, nor was he interested in picking a fight with him.

"Isn't 24 a child? If I was born a few years earlier, we'll be a generation behind~" Chu Qingyang laughed to himself, and stepped on the gas pedal.

Along the way, Chu Qingyang was still discussing the case with Shen Xingchen, and Lin Yuan also listened to the general idea.When they got downstairs from the security guard's house, the three got out of the car and were about to go upstairs when Lin Yuan stopped, "I'm going to the toilet." He pointed to the public toilet next to him.

"Lazy people poop a lot~" Chu Qingyang took Shen Xingchen upstairs without missing any chance to vent his anger.

This is an old-fashioned residential building with many iron gates lining a long corridor.

"This is the one!" Chu Qingyang walked over, took out the things in his pocket, inserted them into the door lock, and began to tinker.

Until Lin Yuan came up, the door hadn't opened yet...

"Can you still do it?!" Shen Xingchen was about to sneer again.

"What's the rush? The more you urge me, the more trembling my hands become." Chu Qingyang looked into the keyhole with one eye closed, "I'm the people's police, not a gang of thieves. This kind of thing doesn't happen in the first place." OK."

Lin Yuan smiled, walked over, grabbed the tool from Chu Qingyang's hand, picked it three times, and the door... opened.

"You..." Chu Qingyang looked at Lin Yuan in a daze, "Give me a reason to keep an eye on you!"

"Fool~" Lin Yuan muttered in a low voice, and followed Shen Xingchen into the room.

The three of them put on gloves and shoe covers, and began to search the house carefully.Lin Yuan searched the kitchen, Chu Qingyang searched the living room, Shen Xingchen searched the bedroom...

The living room was clean, and there were no clues. On the contrary, Lin Yuan found mineral water in the refrigerator door and a pack of sealed bags of different sizes in the refrigerator in the kitchen.

"Brother Fourteen," Lin Yuan called Shen Xingchen over, "Look, this French brand of mineral water is very expensive... Also, the whole kitchen doesn't even have onions, ginger, and garlic, and there is actually a bottle of water in the refrigerator. Big bag of chicken essence..."

Shen Xingchen found a yellowed note on the inside of the pillowcase, which seemed to be old, with a phone number written on it, and he threw the note to Chu Qingyang—"Find this person." Then he walked to Beside Lin Yuan.

"Chu Qingyang!"——Chu Qingyang was still studying the piece of paper when Shen Xingchen called him to the kitchen suddenly.

"Take an evidence bag and pour out the chicken essence! Go back and test it." Shen Xingchen was about to turn around, then turned around and said to Chu Qingyang, "Take a few bottles of water and go back for testing. By the way, this bottle must be tested." Said As he spoke, he randomly took a bottle of water from the refrigerator door and stuffed it into Chu Qingyang's hand.

Afterwards, he turned around and walked to the toilet, opened the water tank cover, and everything in the water tank was normal... Then he turned the cover over, and sure enough, a small USB flash drive was stuck in the groove on the back of the cover with a thin transparent adhesive tape.

"Damn it, how did you come up with this?" Chu Qingyang was overjoyed, "We usually just look at the water tank and we're done."

"Intuition..." Shen Xingchen pulled off the USB flash drive and threw it into the evidence bag that Chu Qingyang handed over, "Damn it, the lid is so heavy, I'm going to break my arm."

"It's okay for you to be rough, how can the city bureau be so rough?!" Shen Xingchen looked down upon it, and went into the bedroom to continue searching.Lin Yuan suddenly smiled, as if he had seen the fourteenth brother who was the proud son of heaven in the past.

"How can those silly old women be any better?!" Chu Qingyang also despised the former goddess by the way, and followed into the room.

"You still have the nerve to talk about him," Shen Xingchen flipped the mattress without raising his head, "You're not as capable as my kid. Looking back at the places you searched, I think he will search again."

"Get out! Is my father so unreliable?!" Chu Qingyang scolded.

"If you are reliable, why did you ask me to come?" Just after finishing speaking, Shen Xingchen found a very hidden interlayer in the closet with ease. When he opened it, it was a small red velvet box with a gold necklace.

Chu Qingyang's glasses were straightened: "Did you become a thief after you resigned?"

Shen Xingchen wanted to say that he also made a mezzanine in the closet in his room, so he was naturally familiar with it.

"Didn't you say... are you single?" Shen Xingchen asked Chu Qingyang holding up the small open box.

"Then why don't you allow him to have a few close friends?"

"Look for this woman! Since you are sending such a valuable thing, the relationship must be unusual."

"I guess..." Lin Yuan's voice came from the door, "This woman's name is Xiao Rong, and she should be in a nightclub or something. In short, she is not a woman from a good family."

"Fuck, how did you know?" Chu Qingyang's three views seemed to have been refreshed.

"When I came out of the toilet, I ran into an old man and chatted for a while." Lin Yuan said unhurriedly, "He said that Li Qiang, oh, is that dead security guard who often brings a woman back with heavy makeup. Not a serious girl. He heard Li Qiang call her Xiao Rong, but he doesn't know which Rong it is."

"Then you know it's a nightclub?"

"The uncle said that he heard them arguing once. The old building has poor sound insulation. They talked about nightclubs, accompanying drinks, etc. The uncle said that he was old and couldn't hear or remember clearly."

"Did you say which nightclub it is?" Chu Qingyang's eyes lit up.As a result, Lin Yuan glanced at him, turned around and left. "Hey, look at your little bastard~" he turned and called to Shen Xingchen.

"Get out!" Shen Xingchen scolded, "The little bastard is more useful than you!"

The three of them turned the house upside down and found nothing useful, so they prepared to go back.

As soon as they left the house, the three of them saw a familiar figure in front of them preparing to go down the stairs. Shen Xingchen and Chu Qingyang yelled at the same time—"Doctor Jin?!"
