Special Case Investigation Team IV

One upper bunk and one lower bunk, not on the same side, but diagonally opposite, the other two roommates closed their eyes and fell asleep, so Cheng Jin dragged Yang Simi to wash up.

The sleeper side is relatively quiet and organized.One bunk per person, no one without a seat, so it will not be crowded.Some people spoke, but after all, they were divided into small rooms, and after the sound was filtered by the partition, it was not too noisy.There were people sitting and resting or chatting in the corridor, but there was no one at the sink. There were two sinks side by side, one for each person.

Cheng Jin said: "Would you like to sleep on the upper berth or the lower berth later?"

Yang Simi said, "The upper bunk."

Cheng Jin said: "Have you ever lived in a dormitory with bunk beds?"

Yang Simi was brushing his teeth, so he only answered, "En."

Cheng Jin also started brushing his teeth, thinking about when and for what reason Yang Simi lived in what kind of dormitory.

When he got back, he lay down and fell asleep. Cheng Jin didn't choose a bed, including a bed on the vibrating train, and he fell asleep quickly.I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but half asleep and half awake, I remembered that I was on the train, and when I moved my body, I felt someone beside me. I opened my eyes and saw Yang Simi sitting beside his bed, holding his mobile phone in his hand and looking down. look.

Yang Simi looked away from the phone, met his gaze, reached out to touch his eyes, and moved his lips silently: It's five o'clock, go to sleep.

Cheng Jin grabbed Yang Simi's hand, smiled and kissed his fingers, closed his eyes, and fell asleep next to the person beside him.

Yang Simi put his phone on the small table next to him, and looked down at Cheng Jin.

After sleeping for another hour, Cheng Jin really woke up. Just like when he opened his eyes before, Yang Simi was still sitting beside him, still holding his mobile phone.Sitting up, he saw that the two roommates were gone. He had vaguely heard them leaving one after another, one of them had just left not long ago.He hugged Yang Simi, "Have you been up all this time?"

Yang Simi said: "80cm bed."

"It's okay." Cheng Jin smiled, "Sleep for a while, we won't be there until 9 o'clock." He got out of bed, pushed Yang Simi to lie down, and helped him take off his socks.

Yang Simi was lying on his side, with no sleepiness in his eyes, he grabbed Cheng Jin's clothes, "If you want to make a call, you can make it here."

Cheng Jin said, "Okay."

Cheng Jin looked at the mailbox first. There was You Duo's email with a large attachment. In the text of the email, You Duo said that he, Xiaoan and Han Bin investigated together.It's normal for Xiaoan to help check files and so on. Why did he call Han Bin this time?Looking at things on the mobile phone is a little awkward, Cheng Jin opened the luggage bag and took out the tablet.

After reading the information, Cheng Jin understood why Han Bin was here, because both Zhou Dong's and Zhen Qi's fathers had been doctors before.And they have worked in the same city, that city is called Luoyang.Zhou Dong's father is still a doctor, but now he works in a hospital in Zhengzhou and has not retired yet.And Zhen Qi's father has changed careers, and now he is teaching in a medical school in Luoyang and is about to retire.

Thirty years ago, two seriously ill twin babies were left behind near the hospital where Zhou Dong's father worked. After passers-by called the police, the two babies were taken to the nearest hospital.The two babies were later cured and adopted by two doctors. When they grew up, they became Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi.

Cheng Jin went to compare the photos of Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi, and found that they didn't look like each other, they should be fraternal twins.I checked their birth time again, the same year and the same month, but there was a difference of a few days. It should be that their biological parents did not leave any information saying when they were born, so when they went to the household, the person who adopted them presumably listed a date .It seems that Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi's adoptive parents have little contact with each other, so they didn't fill in the same date for them.

Cheng Jin turned to see that Yang Simi was still awake, and said, "Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi are brothers, twins. Do you think they know it? Zhou Dong doesn't seem to know."

"He lives in a muddle." Yang Simi said, "Where's Li Youxi? He happens to be their sister?"

"Ah?" Cheng Jin hurriedly looked up Li Youxi's information. Fortunately, it was not. It was a normal life, never adopted, and born in an ordinary but happy family. The most difficult thing was getting to know Zhen Qi. There is a terminal illness now.

Looking at the information of other people related to the three of them, they were all normal, so Cheng Jin went back and continued to look at Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi.

The fathers of the two of them were not considered friends, and there was no connection between the two of them.Zhou Dong and Zhen Qi didn't know each other before college, but after they met in college, they quickly became good friends. If both of them don't know their backgrounds, they can be called tacit understanding.

Zhou Dong has been to Luoyang, together with Zhen Qi, four times, once a year, the last time was the time when Zhen Qi went home before he disappeared after graduation.What happened ten years ago was dug out by You Duo and the others, and it took less time and was more efficient.Cheng Jin smiled and said, "I can't do without You Duo and the others." I'm used to capable subordinates, and if they were given a different batch of poor ones, it would be difficult for him to adapt.

Yang Simi half-closed her eyes and looked at him from under her long eyelashes, as if to say what nonsense are you talking about?He said in a lazy voice: "You can't do without me." His hand got into Cheng Jinyi and touched his waist.

"..." Cheng Jin pulled out his hand, allowing his suspended brain to continue to move, "Zhou Dong was also in Luoyang when Zhen Qi disappeared, maybe he was still with Zhen Qi at that time." When they came, they came together Yes, Zhou Dong was the only one who left when he left, and he went back to Beijing directly. After that, he didn't come to Luoyang again.And Zhen Qi never appeared again. "What happened at that time? Zhou Dong really concealed a lot of things."

Yang Simi said: "It can be seen that he is remembering something."

Cheng Jin said: "Amnesia?" He has experience in this matter, but he is very well prepared, writes down everything he remembers, and then re-enters it into his brain. The memory has always been a normal delusion.

Yang Simi said: "It doesn't count. He deliberately forgot that some people have a high level of self-deception. I may not be able to see the flaws of such people."

Cheng Jin smiled and said: "I can even fool you, so it's normal that I can't catch this kind of person." Before, Yang Simi said that one of the types of murderers he couldn't catch was: he could even fool himself successfully.

Yang Simi changed his mind again, "Not necessarily, you need to look at the evidence."

The evidence points to a certain person, and it is impossible for Cheng Jin to let that person go.

Cheng Jin smiled, and looked down at the tablet in his hand, "Now that I've checked, Zhen Qi probably..." He's really dead.

After reading the information, Cheng Jin checked the time, it was eight o'clock, he thought about it, he didn't call You Duo and the others, they should be sleeping, so don't wake them up.

Before getting off the train, Cheng Jin called to ask where Zhou Dong was, and made an appointment to get off the train and walk together.

Following the crowd out of the station, standing on the square outside, Zhou Dong looked around, "I have been to Luoyang."

"Oh?" Cheng Jin looked at him.

Zhou Dong said: "It looks familiar."

Yang Simi said: "Have you ever been to the White Horse Temple and the Longmen Grottoes? Are they interesting?" Both are famous scenic spots in Luoyang, and they are close to each other with convenient transportation. People who come to Luoyang usually have time to take a look as long as they have some free time.

Zhou Dong said uncertainly: "It's average."

Yang Simi said: "You remember some pictures, but you are not sure whether you have been there yourself or seen related pictures."

Zhou Dong frowned and said nothing.

Yang Simi asked Cheng Jin again, "Have you been there?"

Cheng Jin said, "I've been there."

"I've been there too." Yang Simi said, "But I still want to go with you."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go when we're done."

The three of them took a taxi directly to Zhen Qi's house, and Cheng Jin had the latest address of his house.Taxis cross Luoyang, driving from the old city into the new city.

Zhen Qi's father bought a house in the medical school where he taught, and the school built a faculty building.

Zhen Qi's parents were at home, and Zhen Qi's father came to open the door wearing presbyopic glasses. He was originally smiling, but when he saw the person outside the door, his smile disappeared, "Zhou Dong?..."

Zhou Dong's complexion was not very good, "Uncle Zhen."

Zhen Qi's father said: "Zhou Dong, you are here..."

"Old Zhen, who's here?" Zhen Qi's mother came over and was taken aback when she saw Zhou Dong, "Zhou Dong?" After a while, she said, "Come in first?"

After entering the room, Cheng Jin saw the Buddha statue on the wall at a glance. He did not expect that these two people who were engaged in medicine actually believed in Buddhism.

Zhen Qi's father looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi and said, "Who are you two?"

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Zhou Dong's friend is also a policeman."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhen Qi's parents' expressions changed obviously.Zhen Qi's mother sternly said, "Zhou Dong, what do you mean, why did you bring the police to our house?"

"Let me ask you where Zhen Qi went?" Zhou Dong pressed his forehead as if he had a headache, "After all, he is me..." He stopped, frowning, and his face became more and more ugly , and finally he said, "Is he my blood brother? Or my brother?" Probably now their biological parents don't know which of them was born first.

Cheng Jin thought, did you just remember it, or did you remember it?

Zhen Qi's mother glared at Zhou Dong, "We didn't ask you for someone, but you came to us for someone? Do you remember why he left?..."

Zhou Dong said: "I can't remember clearly."

"..." Zhen Qi's mother's anger was poured into a basin of ice water, and then it revived and burned even more vigorously. His husband tried to stop her, but he couldn't stop her at all. She shouted like crazy, "Because He found that he fell in love with his brother, he couldn't accept it, so he left!..."

That day, Zhen Qi knew two things that he couldn't accept. First, he was not born by his parents, but was adopted; second, his best friend and the person he liked were actually his twin brother.

Zhen Qi said at the time, "Retribution, retribution..." and then let him run away, and has been missing ever since.

Zhen Qi's mother was too excited, so Zhen Qi's father advised them to leave first.Although Cheng Jin still had questions he wanted to ask, he couldn't hold back, so he had to wait until later to ask Zhen Qi's father to find a place to chat.He left his phone number to Zhen Qi's father, but the other party hesitated for a moment, but accepted it.

After going out the door, Zhou Dong leaned on the wall and was on the verge of falling.

Cheng Jin said, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Dong said, "Wait a minute."

After a few minutes, Zhou Dong came back slowly, withdrew his hand, and he was able to stand still.

Cheng Jin said, "Let's go out first."

After going out, they didn't go far, and sat down on the nearby lawn.The sun is good, and it is very warm on the body.It's a pity they don't have the heart to enjoy it.

Cheng Jin said: "So Miss Li Youxi suspects you and Zhen Qi wrongly."

The retribution that Zhen Qi said at the time probably felt that those things were like retribution after he failed Li Youxi.

But Zhou Dong said: "We have nothing. At that time, he told me that he might be gay. He never liked me."

Yang Simi said: "He said, you don't want to admit it."

"Shut up!" Zhou Dong suddenly growled.

Yang Simi smiled, "He didn't say it clearly, but he still said it. Even if you didn't respond, you didn't refuse. His parents are both medical students, and they can accept that the child's sexual orientation is different from most people. He Parents like you a lot, so he tells them he likes you, and then he finds out that his parents like you because you're actually brothers."

Zhou Dong slowly regained his composure, "I thought he was arguing with his parents and wanted to try to persuade them, but when he heard his parents say that we were a pair of twins who were thrown near the hospital, he took a look and then ran away .That was the last time I saw him."

Cheng Jin said: "You know why he left, so you haven't looked for him these years."

Zhou Dong said: "I don't want to remember those." He said indifferently, but tears were streaming from his eyes, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Cheng Jin was silent. After a while, he couldn't help but said, "Zhou Dong, why do Zhen Qi's parents believe in Buddhism?"

The tears on Zhou Dong's face were still wet, he thought for a while, "They didn't believe it before, but Zhen Qi probably started to believe it when he approached them."

Do you ask God to bless your child?

After another meeting, Cheng Jin said, "I'll make a phone call." He got up and walked away.

Yang Simi put his hands on the grass, stood up and followed him.

Cheng Jin called Han Bin, but Qin Yue picked it up. However, Han Bin soon came to listen, but Cheng Jin heard Qin Yue asking Han Bin, "Do you want to work overtime again?", I don't know if it is I deliberately said it to him on the phone.

Cheng Jin and Han Bin talked about Zhen Qi's parents believing in Buddhism, and asked him, "Are there many doctors who believe in Buddhism?"

Han Bin said: "Not many, but there are. Let me check them for you."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jin saw Yang Simi folded his arms in front of him, "What's wrong?"

Yang Simi was laughing, "It's so cruel, even the old man whose beloved son has been missing for many years believes in Buddhism, you have to doubt it."

Cheng Jin said, "Just to confirm." Then he held Yang Simi's wrist, touched the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist and said, "There are some things that the Buddha can't solve."

Half an hour later, Zhen Qi's parents went downstairs, and Cheng Jin walked over, "Mr. Zhen..."

Zhen Qi's parents ignored him and hurried away.

Yang Simi came over, "There is no one in their house, let's go and have a look."

Cheng Jin didn't answer right away.

Yang Simi said again: "I'll go and see, you are here to help me watch the wind."

Cheng Jin immediately said: "Let's go together. Let Zhou Dong watch the wind."

Except that Zhen Qi's parents' house is very clean, there is nothing special about it.

After entering the study, Yang Simi put on his gloves and began to search around, while Cheng Jin followed him and watched.

Yang Simi took out a notebook from an inconspicuous place on a bookshelf. On the title page was written: To my son, which contained letters—letters that had not been sent, some reminiscing about the past, some explaining the truth of life, Expressing condolences...

Cheng Jin looked at it for a while, then sighed, "I love you deeply."

Yang Simi said: "The letter is written to the dead."

"Ok?"

Yang Simi showed him some sentences, "Look at the words and tone, he has used 'mourning' many times, and only grieves for the dead who will not come back. There is also 'endless sadness', living alone in the world This is the case for people who live in a dream. Not to mention the 'entering a dream'. Look here, there is also 'Can you know our grief', which is said for the dead..."

A few words are nothing, but Yang Simi pointed out countless things, and Cheng Jin felt that it was not right, but these were not enough, Zhen Qi's parents didn't say anything, they still had no choice but to get more information, Then ask Zhen Qi's parents what happened back then...

Cheng Jin frowned and thought.Yang Simi went to look for other things, but couldn't find more.When leaving, Yang Simi put the notebook into his clothes while Cheng Jin was not paying attention, and messed up the neat bookshelf a bit.

After that, they went to dinner with Zhou Dong.

In the afternoon, Han Bin sent a lot of information about Zhen Qi's parents, some major nodes in their career line, their good friends, some important patients of theirs, their students, and so on.

Cheng Jin watched for a long time, Yang Simi pulled him, "Take a break."

Cheng Jin put down the tablet, but although his eyes were rested, his brain was still working fast, "Simi, what will the doctor do with the corpse?" This is a city, and it is unrealistic to drive to the suburbs to bury the corpse. In fact, when Zhen Qi disappeared, , The police checked this aspect, and found nothing wrong. "I'll ask Han Bin too."

Yang Simi grabbed his wrist holding the phone, "You already asked me."

Cheng Jin looked at him helplessly.

Yang Simi said: "If I come to do it, there are many ways. But for ordinary people, there are few ways." He turned over the tablet in Cheng Jin's hand, "If there is no place to bury the corpse, then there must be a place that can dispose of the corpse." They used to live in a single-family old house, and they have this condition. The meat is easy to deal with, but the bone is difficult to deal with. Just now, no human bone specimens were found in his house..."

As soon as he said this, Cheng Jin immediately said: "There are many human skeleton specimens in this school, and there is one in Zhen Qi's father's office." He took the tablet, searched it quickly, and soon stopped on a report , there is a photo of Zhang Zhenqi's father on it, his office is in the background, and a pair of human skeleton specimens are photographed in the corner. "Go, let's go and see!"

Zhou Dong had been sitting next to them like an invisible man, and now he stood up with them.

After seeing the human skeleton specimen, Yang Simi looked at it carefully for a while, "It's Zhen Qi."

Cheng Jin sighed, the skeleton was placed here so blatantly, but because of the medical school here, no one ever suspected that there was anything wrong.

Zhou Dong touched the skeleton's phalanges, and said, "Well, it's him." At this moment, he didn't cry anymore, but smiled instead, "You major in psychology?" He asked Yang Simi.

"Correct."

Zhou Dong said: "I didn't think I liked him until now. Why?"

His words are ambiguous.Maybe it's because he doesn't think he likes Zhen Qi until now.It may also mean that he only found out that he likes Zhen Qi until now.

Yang Simi said: "You should have realized that you are not your parents' biological child at a very young age?"

Zhou Dongdao: "I have an older sister who didn't like me when she was a child and said I was picked. My parents scolded her and told me that I was their biological son, but I knew I wasn't."

Yang Simi said: "You don't believe in anyone. It's useless for anyone to love you, because you won't believe it. You may believe in dead people."

Zhou Dong smiled again and said nothing.

When Cheng Jin was wondering whether to call the police to deal with the matter, his cell phone rang. He saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but when he answered it, it was Zhen Qi's father.

Zhen Qi's father said, "You know?"

Cheng Jin didn't expect him to say this as soon as he came up, he paused, "Yes, we are in your office now, we saw him."

The person on the other end of the phone murmured: "Yes, you found him..."

Cheng Jin felt a little strange. It sounded like he didn't expect them to find Zhen Qi so quickly. Didn't he call when he knew they had entered his office? "That's it, tell me what happened."

Zhen Qi's father said: "It was an accident. I drove after him, but he refused to stop. I drove too fast, and suddenly he rushed in front of my car again. I hit him, and he died before reaching the hospital. I took him home like a demon. I regretted it later, but if someone knew, I couldn't tell..."

Cheng Jin said: "So you made him into a human skeleton specimen?" Zhen Qi's mother must have participated in this matter, and I don't know how they were feeling at the time.

"Yes. That's it." Zhen Qi's father said, "Zhou Dong..." He sighed, hung up the phone without saying anything.

Cheng Jin called again, but no one answered, and no one answered after calling several times, and no one hung up. He didn't feel very good, "Si Mi, let's go to Mr. Zhen's house to see."

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi left, Zhou Dong held the skeleton's hand and stood still.

It was already late when Cheng Jin and the others arrived. Zhen Qi's parents were dead and hanged himself. Behind them was the Buddha statue by the wall.

Cheng Jin stood by the door for a long time before returning to his senses, and then he asked, "Si Mi, what did you take away from here?" Zhen Qi's father didn't know that they went to the office, which meant that he knew about Cheng Jin's death through other things. Kam discovers their secret.

Yang Simi took the notebook he took from the study out of his clothes.Cheng Jin reached out to take it, turned to leave, and Yang Simi grabbed his hand.

Cheng Jin whispered: "I'll go and put the things back where they were."

In the end, Cheng Jin did not notify the police, but told Lu Ang about the matter, and asked him to call the security department to handle it.Lu Ang complained a few words, and then efficiently dispatched staff.

The school thought that Zhen Qi's parents committed suicide, and the local media even wrote a report about the old man who lost his only child.

Apart from the suicide of Zhen Qi's parents, there was another accident.Zhou Dong disappeared with the skeleton.He changed cars in a planned way, and finally disappeared into the vast crowd.

A month later, Cheng Jin received a call from a crematorium, telling them to collect the ashes.

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went there, asked the crematorium staff, and confirmed that it was Zhou Dong who asked them to come.

"The lad brought a skeleton for us to cremate and we almost called the police."

"What about others? Why didn't you take the ashes away?"

"He said that he wanted to accompany that person for the last night of the skeleton, but when we went to see him the next day, he had already left."

Besides the urn, Zhou Dong also left a letter.The letter was very short, and it said that Cheng Jin and the others helped him find someone, and he should inform them of the final result.He also said that the ashes can be disposed of at will.

Cheng Jin read the letter over and over again, "What does Zhou Dong mean? He notified us of the result?" Burning a skeleton to ashes counts as the result?

Yang Simi picked up the urn, looked it up and down, then opened it, and saw a line of small words engraved inside the lid: We are together.He pointed this line of writing to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin watched for a few seconds, then looked up at the staff, "Did you open the coffin to check before burning it?"

The staff were inexplicably flustered by his eyes. Although they didn't know what happened, he denied it reflexively, "I, we...of course have...check..."

"You don't."

"You, why do you... say that?!"

That's right, no matter what Cheng Jin said, there's no way to prove it.Besides, so what if it's confirmed.
