Criminal Investigation Notes

The poet's business is not to describe what happened, but to describe what might happen. — Aristotle

After a night's sleep, Lu Junchi woke up and went out early to run around the neighborhood twice as usual.

When he came back to take a shower, he felt that he was a little too nervous. It was just a star stacked on paper. The same paper is easy to buy. This kind of star has been popular for a while, and it is as common as the thousand paper cranes.

All he found was a star, which had been placed among the clutter, perhaps by accident.

He couldn't confirm anything with a single star.

Moreover, he didn't know how to ask Su Hui, what kind of answer would he hear if he asked...

Lu Junchi felt that he was thinking too much.

The past is the past.

The poet is dead.

He can't be stuck in the past by those things, life moves forward, and now everything has finally calmed down, and he doesn't want to break this balance.

If you keep thinking about people and things in the past, it is unfair to people in the present and in the future.

Today is Sunday, and I finally have a rest day that is not busy.Su Hui slept until noon and didn't get up. He had lunch, read a book for a while, and in the afternoon, went into the room to sleep for a while, and then it was time for dinner when he got up again.

He has been particularly lethargic recently. On rest days, he sleeps an average of twelve to fourteen hours a day, as if he can't sleep enough or wake up.

Lu Junchi had already washed his clothes, cleaned the house, mopped the floor, and was cooking something in the kitchen.I saw him come out and said to him: "Dinner is ready at any time. I brought it back to you by courier. It should be your new puzzle."

Lu Junchi was a little worried at first that Su Hui would leave some psychological shadow because of An Yuci's incident, but it seemed that Su Hui was not too sad. At this time, Lu Junchi was grateful for Su Hui's indifference. Wrap it outside so that he won't get hurt any more.

Su Hui opened the express delivery, his white hell has been completed, and the new puzzle will arrive.This time he sold EHTACCIDENT of YELLDESIGN.

This puzzle is called Accident, and the whole puzzle is like a broken transparent glass.

After opening it, the jigsaw puzzle was completely transparent, each piece was of different sizes, and it was very messy. The jigsaw puzzle was poured out and placed on the table. Su Hui seemed a little struggling.

Lu Junchi came out of the kitchen with the food: "Let's eat first, and you can fight after eating."

Su Hui felt a little sorry to see him busy: "Let me help you."

Lu Junchi declined: "Don't, don't burn you later, just wait and eat."

Su Hui hummed. He looked at the express box that he had removed earlier, got up and smeared the address on it, then opened the door and put the box in the corridor.

If it was in the past, Su Hui would never have done these things. The cardboard boxes were piled up randomly, and they had to be cleaned up collectively at a certain time.

But now, the house was cleaned by Lu Junchi, and he felt that this kind of mess destroyed Lu Junchi's labor results, so he took the initiative to do some.

When he sat back at the table, the food was already served.

Su Hui smelled a burst of aroma, lowered his head, and found that today's main course was a soup. The soup was brown, and some black things could be seen vaguely. He scooped it up and identified it: "This is... black chicken soup?"

Lu Junchi sat next to him and filled him with a bowl full of steaming black chicken soup: "Yes, black chicken can be warm and nourishing. Drink more to nourish your body."

Su Hui picked up the spoon and blew on it, and took a sip. The black chicken soup was very light, which suited his taste.

Then he thought about it, he drank crucian carp soup yesterday, and he drank trotter soup a few days ago.

Su Hui suddenly had an illusion...

Where did Lu Junchi download the confinement recipe?

After they finished eating, Lu Junchi cleaned up the dishes and added cat food to Aristotle's cat food bowl.

Unlike usual, Aristotle did not come over to enjoy his dinner, and the whole house was a little too quiet.

Lu Junchi felt a little strange, and asked Su Hui, "Have you seen Aristotle?"

Su Hui had already sat on the sofa, concentrating on looking at the fragmented puzzle in front of him. At this time, Lu Jun asked him before he raised his head: "No. I seem to have missed it for a while."

Lu Junchi was not in a hurry, he was just looking for cats, this was basically a compulsory course for every cat slave, and he was very experienced in it.

Lu Junchi began to look through the clothes on the sofa, but nothing.

Cat litter behind the TV, no.

In the bathroom, there is no...

After checking all the places Aristotle used to stay, the cat still disappeared.

Seeing Lu Junchi walking back and forth in the room, Su Hui felt a little unusual.

Lu Junchi searched around again to no avail, walked back to the living room and asked Su Hui, "The cat doesn't seem to be at home, did you go out just now?"

"No..." After Su Hui finished answering, he paused, pinching the puzzle with his fingers and suddenly remembered something, he raised his head again, "I just put the cardboard box of the puzzle in the corridor..."

Thinking back carefully now, he seemed to feel a black shadow jumping out in front of him at that time, and Su Hui's face changed slightly when he thought of this, the puzzle piece in his hand fell on the table without holding it.

Su Hui got up in a panic, but this time he bumped into the puzzle box, and with a crash, half of the puzzle box fell to the ground.

Su Hui didn't bother to pick it up: "Maybe the cat slipped out when I opened the door..."

Lu Junchi picked up his coat and said, "Don't worry, I'll go downstairs and look for it."

Su Hui said, "I'll look for it too."

The cat was gone, he was fidgeting, and it felt like a torment to ask him to wait for the news at home.

When the two cat slaves went out, Lu Junchi remembered watching it on the Internet, and said to Su Hui, "Some cats will run up the stairs. I will go up and you will go down. We will meet downstairs later."

Su Hui searched all the way down from the safe passage upstairs, and found the first floor from the tenth floor. The property inspection here is strict, and no sundries are allowed in the safe passage. He walked all the way down, but he didn't see the little figure.

Soon, Lu Junchi also went down to the garage and shook his head at him.

There were several cars parked in the underground garage downstairs, and the two of them walked around one by one.

They went from the exit to the ground again, and it was getting dark by this time.

There were a lot of cars in the yard, and some of them were connected to low bushes. Su Hui knelt on the ground, turned on the flashlight mode of his phone, and meowed at the dark underside of the car.

Lu Junchi looked back and suddenly felt a little pain in his heart.

Su Hui was obviously looking for a cat, but he himself seemed like a lost cat who couldn't find a home.

Su Hui looked at a few cars, and when he was about to kneel down again, he staggered.

Lu Junchi walked over and grabbed Su Hui, and patted the dirt on his knees for him.

Su Hui raised his head in a daze, and said to him, "I lost Aristotle." His ending voice was not as calm as before, and there was a little tremor, and there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.

He continued worryingly: "Will Aristotle be in danger? What if it encounters bad people? What if someone abuses the cat? What if he is hungry?"

At that moment, Lu Junchi looked at him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He wanted to comfort Su Hui, but felt that all words were a bit redundant.In the end, he approached him, stretched out his hand, encircled his thin body with one hand, and patted his back lightly with the other hand twice.

It was a gentle hug that would not cause distractions. The night wind blowing over was blocked by Lu Junchi, and Su Hui felt his chest warm up a little.

The hug calmed him down from his panic.

Lu Junchi only hugged him for a while and then hurriedly let go. He took a step back and said, "It's getting dark, let me look for it. You sit by the side for a while and think about where the cat will go. We will definitely find it .”

Lu Junchi went to ask the security guards in the neighborhood, and then searched around the whole neighborhood. At first he felt a little bit hesitant to yell, but then he let go and called Aristotle to walk all the way.

It was dinner time now, and many people who had eaten early had already come out for a walk, and they all showed strange expressions when they heard him called this name.

A few children ran over curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you looking for?"

Lu Junchi showed them the picture of Aristotle, and some kind-hearted people searched for the cat with him.

After searching for an hour, the cat still couldn't be found.

Lu Junchi had no choice but to use criminal investigation methods. He went to the security room to retrieve the surveillance video. After searching for a while, the small figure appeared on the surveillance. The video captured Aristotle slipping out of the building at dinner time. Then he disappeared from surveillance.

Lu Junchi calculated that if Aristotle had gone out since then, this period of time would be enough to run away without a trace.

He was thinking about Su Hui and walked back.

Su Hui sat on the bench downstairs, the sky gradually darkened, and the street lights in the community were on, illuminating a small area around him.

His memory became clearer.

He picked up Aristotle from school, when he had just reported to the Chinese police.Life has not been straightened out, everything is in chaos.

It was raining that day, he got lost in the school, and he didn't want to ask the students for directions, so he walked to the dormitory building on the campus somehow, and then he heard a slight sound, which was the movement of the bushes on the side, mixed with A weak meowing sound, he followed the sound for a while, only to see Aristotle emerging from the bushes, his small body trembling slightly, only half the size it is now.

It accompanies him to walk towards the light until he reaches the teaching building.

Su Hui couldn't help but squat down, and the kitten ran in front of him. He reached out and hugged the cat. It was a warm little ball, shivering in his palm.

At that moment, a sentence popped up in Su Hui's mind: I can't keep yesterday, but I can grasp today.

That's a famous quote from Aristotle.

Since then, the cat has a name.

There was a period in the past when Su Hui's memory was a bit confused, he couldn't remember this incident, but now he suddenly remembered it.

When Aristotle was lost last time, his depersonalization was at its worst. He had no sense of the whole world, but was a little anxious and didn't feel too anxious.

For a long time in the past, he gradually accepted that he was a heartless and heartless person. He blocked all his feelings and emotions, and he felt that he could live well by himself.

But recently, his depersonalization has improved a lot.

The protective layer that shielded emotions seemed to have failed, and all emotions returned to his body, and he began to feel the emotions in the world.

He began to feel flustered when the cat was lost, and the discomfort was indescribable.

He remembered that it was a little cat, fluffy, with big eyes, and it especially liked to get into his quilt.

Sometimes when he was reading, Aristotle would suddenly jump over, lie on his lap, and rub his head against his hand.

If he is too focused on what he is doing, he will be a little jealous and insist on attracting the owner's attention.

It was such a clingy and pretty little thing.

It is used to being raised at home, can it still adapt to life outside?Will they be caught?Will it be hit by a car?Will it be in danger?Will it be chased by dogs?

Su Hui felt that the loss of the cat was all his responsibility, and he was full of self-blame.

He just bought a jigsaw puzzle called Accident and the cat got lost.

It would have been nice if he hadn't collected the carton by then.

It would be nice if the cat ran out and he found it the first time.

Su Hui raised his head and saw a lot of people walking. Those people were in twos and threes. They couldn't see their faces clearly, and they couldn't hear their conversations clearly, but they could guess that they were talking and laughing.

He found that he didn't know any of those people.

A thread snapped in his brain.

Like an iceberg suddenly crumbling.

He seems to have no connection with the world.

His parents have both passed away, and there is nothing left for his relatives in the family, and now even the cat has left him.

Maybe he'll never get that little thing back.

Su Hui was suddenly swept over by an inexplicable feeling.

It was the chill that surged from the bottom of his heart, making his whole body tremble.

He realized what this uncomfortable feeling was, it should be loneliness...

Realizing the true meaning of the word, he was so sad that he wanted to cry.

Su Hui was like a child learning to speak, experiencing the emotions of the world for the first time. He seemed to have experienced the death of a relative and learned the truth about being alive.

Then he raised his head, and in his hazy vision, he saw a figure.

Su Hui realized that it was Lu Jun who came back late.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the hug Lu Junchi gave him just now.

The collapse of the world stopped.

He feels better, even if the cat is gone, at least he has a roommate...

Lu Jun came back late and saw Su Hui still sitting on the bench downstairs. His handsome face was expressionless, but his eyes were red.

He could feel that the cat was very important to Su Hui, and the loss of the cat touched him a lot.

Su Hui looked up, and when he came back empty-handed, he knew the cat hadn't been found. He blinked his eyelashes and looked a little disappointed.

Lu Junchi explained to him: "I searched everywhere I could. I don't know where I went. It's too late now. Let's go home first and discuss what to do."

Su Hui hummed, searching aimlessly like this is not a solution, tomorrow is a working day, and he has to go to work.

Su Hui even had a hope in his heart that Aristotle could recognize the door. During their search, maybe the cat had returned to the door by itself.

He also thought that maybe the cat had been staying at home, in the washing machine, in the cupboard, waiting for them to go back, and would come out from nowhere and meow and pounce on him.

If that's the case, he will pretend to be angry, and must not hug it right away, let it cool down for a while before forgiving it.

The moment the elevator opened, Su Hui looked at the empty doorway and felt that a piece of his heart was missing.

The house was still quiet, nothing changed from when they left, Su Hui had to face up to this fact.

The cat... was indeed missing.

Lu Junchi was still calm, and he replied to Su: "I have a photo of Aristotle here, and I will make a cat hunting revelation later and post it in the yard."

Su Hui hummed, the cat-hunting revelation will definitely be sent out.

At this point, Lu Junchi asked Su Hui, "Why do you think it left home today?"

"Maybe I've been bored at home for too long? Or do you think we've been too busy recently and it hasn't been taken seriously?" Su Hui sat at the dining table and analyzed, feeling that he and Lu Junchi were like the old father of two children who had lost their children.

Lu Junchi asked again: "Then where do you think he will go?"

Su Hui thought: "Enjoy freedom? Go to the yard...to find other cat companions? Or...does it miss its mother and other brothers and sisters? Want to see the place where he was born and lived? "

He couldn't help committing an occupational disease, and as soon as Lu Junchi asked him, he began to analyze it.

Then Su Hui pressed his temples and said with a headache, "A cat is not a human being, and it's an upright and kind cat, not an evil murderous cat. It's not easy to use criminal psychology profiling for criminals..."

Lu Junchi comforted: "Don't worry, we are just predicting its location based on its behavior. In this regard, humans and cats are connected. 72 hours is the prime time to find a cat. Tell me about the last time a cat was lost. What's the situation." He also heard from Su Hui that the cat had been lost once before, but he didn't tell him the details.

Su Hui lowered his head and recalled: "After I lost it last time, I lost it for more than a day. The students from the Chinese police sent it over the next day."

When Lu Junchi heard this, he deduced seriously: "This means that it may know the way to school?"

"I picked it up from school. That's its home, and it should have lived there for a while. Isn't it homesick?"

Lu Junchi continued, "What are the other characteristics of its behavior?"

Su Hui thought about it for a while and said: "He likes small corners and boxes. Maybe it's because I threw the box away. He thought it was something he liked, so he followed it out."

Su Hui was a little worried when he said this, "Should we try not to close the door at night? Otherwise, it might not be able to find it by itself."

Lu Junchi continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, sometimes cats are more adaptable than humans... Which cat owner has not experienced the loss of cats? Most cats will come back safely."

After hearing his relief, Su Hui lowered his head and smiled wryly, "You're right. In the past, it lived quite well without me. Rather than saying that it needs me, it's better to say that I need it... "

For a long time in the past, this cat was his spiritual sustenance and the connection between him and the world.

So the loss of it made him, who has always been calm, lose his size.

Although Lu Junchi was also very worried, he knew that looking for a cat should not be rushed or panicked.

After reassuring Su Hui, he quickly made a cat-hunting revelation, on which were photos of Aristotle's front, side, and back, and clearly stated the size, age, and physical characteristics of the cat.

He warmed up a glass of milk for Su Hui, and then showed him the revelation of cat hunting: "Is there anything else I need to add?"

Su Hui felt as if he had come out of that state of being out of his mind, and carefully read the revelation of looking for cats: "It's nothing, you wrote very well."

Lu Junchi sat across from him: "I have experienced the thing of throwing things many times since I was a child, not to mention that my dog ​​ran out every now and then, and even my younger brother lost it twice, and every time there was a surprise. No danger, as the owner, you have to firmly believe that it will definitely come back. This is a process of confrontation between reality and hope, as long as there is hope, it will be found."

Su Hui drank the milk, hummed in a low voice, and then he said, "Thank you, I'm a little panicked, without you, I really don't know what to do."

The look in his eyes made Lu Junchi's heart soften, and he said, "I looked up some methods of finding cats on the Internet. There is also the scissors method. I will try them all later."

As a policeman, he didn't believe in these metaphysics at first, but when something happened, he discovered that this kind of thing was not done for God or for cats to see.

As long as you make these efforts, it will be a great comfort to the owner.

Lu Junchi tilted his head, and suddenly found that there was a little dust on Su Hui's face, which may have been accidentally rubbed on it when he was looking for the cat just now.

He couldn't help but reached out and wiped it with his fingertips.

Su Hui raised his head to look at him, his cheek rubbed against his fingertips for an instant, and he could feel the warmth of Lu Junchi's fingertips.

This kind of warmth dispelled the confusion in his heart caused by the loss of the cat.

Lu Junchi first sent a cat-hunting reminder to the owners, and then typed Lu Haochu on the Internet.

"Have you seen Aristotle in Teacher Su's house?"

Lu Haochu immediately replied: "I've seen it, why? Lost it again?"

Lu Junchi posted the cat hunting revelation to him, "Help post it, there will be a reward if you find it."

Lu Haochu said: "Don't worry, raise my brother for a thousand days, use my brother for a while, do your best, and die!"
