Liao Zhigang's house has three bedrooms and one living room in the old style, so it can be called neat and clean.The living room is very small, just enough for a table to eat. The largest room has been converted into a living room, with a single bed against the wall, and there are sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets and other furniture that should be displayed in the living room.There is a double bed in the middle bedroom, a set of computer desks and chairs, and a bookcase stands behind the computer desk against the wall. Fade Chen looked through the door of the cabinet. They are all textbooks for middle and high schools and some textbooks for physics majors.There is also a small room, which is a study room, facing the desk. The entire wall is covered with wooden partitions, and it is full of books and awards.In addition to some classics and history books, most of them are educational books.

This is in line with Liao Zhigang's professional background. He is a junior high school history teacher, and he teaches at No. [-] Middle School, a good school that can bring the surrounding housing prices up.There are more than a dozen certificates on the shelf, all of which are certificates of commendation for outstanding teachers and academic leaders at the district level, city level, and provincial level.

Why was an excellent teacher killed by such indecent means as hitting his head with a flowerpot?

Staring at the partition all over the wall, Fade Chen heard Luo Mingzhe's voice coming from the middle bed: "Fade Chen, come here."

Chen Fei turned into the middle bedroom, and saw Luo Mingzhe holding a latex glove on the open wardrobe door, and raised his chin at the clothes inside: "Look, they are all women's clothes, I just saw them in the big room ,The cabinet next to the TV cabinet is full of men's clothes, it seems that the couple don't live in the same room."

"It's... normal. After all, it's a remarried family. It seems reasonable for a mother to sleep with her daughter in the same room." Fade Chen thought that this remarried family might be different from the first one, and besides, they are all in their 50s. , it seems that there is no need for the couple to sleep in the same room.

--Well? More than 50... When I was more than 50, I probably didn't have any ideas.

The image of Comrade Zhao wearing a singlet and shorts all over the house suddenly flashed in his mind, Fade Chen tightened his cheeks, and turned his head to grope around the world.Is it really bent?He wasn't sure, the only thing he could be sure of was that the woman who was escorted by Sister Wu to a photocall during the first Spring Festival, he couldn't even remember what her parents were like when he left the restaurant.

It seems that after being provoked by Lu Di, he really penetrated the layer of tulle between himself and Zhao Pingsheng, and clearly examined the man who had been by his side for 15 years.The usual care and care have become clues and evidence to explore the other party's mind.But Comrade Zhao himself said that if there is someone he likes, it is because of this person.So, when he was done drinking that night, he would be so ashamed that he would bang his head against the wall as soon as he remembered it.

Cheap or not?If you stick to it, people won't give you a chance!

"Fade Chen?" Luo Mingzhe stared straight at him, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah? Ah...that...I...I think...just..." Fade Chen swallowed tightly, nothing could happen right now than the head that was smashed into a rotten watermelon by the flower pot, "If the relationship between husband and wife is indifferent, it may involve extramarital affairs or something. In the past few days... I will hurry up and visit the deceased's colleagues in the next few days."

Judging by his expression, Luo Mingzhe was quite satisfied.The old man closed the cupboard door, walked towards the big room, stood still in the room, and said to him while watching: "There is something, you should know it yourself, don't talk about it."

"Huh?" Fade Chen was taken aback.

"It wasn't Qi Yaozu who invited me back, it was Yu Ruifu." The old man lowered his head and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Chen Fei with a surprised face, "Didn't he say that he would die? After walking around for a while, I felt that it was better for the others in Behuohuo, so I turned around and complained, so I went to find me and asked me to come back."

Frowning slightly, Fade Chen snorted: "In his eyes, I'm a disaster, right?"

"No, he said, it's because the team has gotten along so well that no one can join in." Of course, Luo Mingzhe is not the one who gets carried away by a few compliments, but he does agree with Yu Ruifu's statement: "This is My problem is that I asked you to help each other like brothers, learn from each other and make up for each other like a rope, so it is inevitable to be a little xenophobic... Hey, whoever blames it, I will do it when I come back this time Until you can take over the Serious Crime Squad.”

His eyes became hot, and Fade Chen twitched the corners of his mouth in disbelief: "We don't call it the Serious Cases Brigade now, let that idiot—oh no, let Yu Ruifu change it to the Serious Cases Brigade, it's okay, I understand I spend my own money to make a new brand and replace it."

Luo Mingzhe smiled and waved his hands: "No need to change, the name Serious Crime Squad sounds good, it has the meaning of a Hong Kong drama...Fade Chen, I'm getting old, and I won't be able to do it in two years...And you, yourself Keep an eye on it, don't jump on the leader's nerves at every turn, and try to withdraw the punishment as soon as possible, so that I can go home and spend my old age in peace."

"From now on, I promise to walk in small steps, do you think it will work, Master?"

Before finishing speaking, Fade Chen shrank his shoulders to avoid the old man's slap.

The old man—he frowned and smiled bitterly—wasn't happy to hit him, but he was happy to hit him again!



The proprietress of the early shop didn't recover until the afternoon of the incident, but she didn't ask anything.Seeing the smashed brains of a large number of living people, she couldn't remember anything after that except for uttering "ah".Lu Nianjiu's fingerprints on the fence and flower pots on the roof did not match in the system.The municipal surveillance was also adjusted, and it captured the whole process of the deceased being gouged, and the boy from the breakfast shop rushing out to cover the corpse, but there was no footage of the rooftop, let alone anyone coming out of the building after the incident.

It is possible that the murderer lived in this building.Although many people who celebrated the Chinese New Year went to their parents’ and relatives’ homes for the New Year’s Eve, there are six door openings in the whole building, with a total of more than 120 households, all of which can go up to the rooftop from the corridor.Even if half of those who are not at home are excluded, there are still more than 60 households to be investigated, plus the relatives, friends and colleagues of the deceased, the workload that needs to be visited is really not small.

The long Spring Festival holiday was almost over, and the deceased's wife, Qin Li, rushed back with her daughter.She said that she has never been able to buy a train ticket, and the ticket is only full price, which is too expensive. It costs nearly 3000 yuan for her and her daughter.

Chen Fei intuitively felt that the relationship between the couple was not very good. According to common sense, his husband was smashed into a watermelon, not to mention the [-] air ticket, and [-] has to come back quickly for the funeral.So he didn't ask Liao Zhigang if he had any disputes with anyone right away, but started a routine with the other party, asking about work, asking about children, and asking how they got together.

Before asking Qin Li, I had obtained some background information by interviewing Liao Zhigang's colleagues.Liao Zhigang is not from the province. About ten years ago, he was recruited from other places to teach in the city's No. [-] Middle School.The house he lives in is allocated by the school as a reward for being selected as a provincial special teacher.He and Qin Li were married seven years ago, and through his relationship, Qin Li and her ex-husband's daughter Yao Xin were transferred from a broken school to No. [-] Middle School.After the two got married, their relationship was stable and the family was harmonious. No one heard that the couple had had a dispute.As for having an affair, that is even more impossible. Colleagues said that Mr. Liao rarely gets along with female colleagues alone at school.

Qin Li works as a cashier in a large supermarket chain, which used to be a grocery store.She said that she and Liao Zhigang met at work.At that time, she had just divorced and took her daughter to live with her old father.Affected by her parents' divorce, her grades dropped severely, and she ran away from home at every turn, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.One day, she was invited by her homeroom teacher to tell her that Yao Xin was absent from class for three days a week.But she was completely powerless to discipline and would not listen to anything.She herself did not finish junior high school and came out to work. She knows the pain of being uneducated, and she absolutely does not want her children to follow their old ways.Back at work, she was absent-minded and miscalculated, and undercharged nearly a hundred yuan worth of goods. The leader not only demanded full compensation from her, but also doubled the amount of the goods as a warning.

At that time, her monthly salary was only [-] yuan, and she was fined [-] yuan in one breath. Coupled with her daughter's situation, she collapsed all of a sudden, sitting on the steps outside the unit and crying bitterly.It was raining lightly that day, she said, crying and crying, the rain above her head stopped, but the rain in front of her was still falling.When she raised her head, she could see an open black umbrella in her blurred vision, and it was Liao Zhigang who shielded her from the wind and rain.

Liao Zhigang had a kind face, a gentle conversation, and patiently listened to her distress that no one could confide in.After learning that the other party was a middle school teacher, Qin Li asked the other party how to discipline children, while Liao Zhigang went to her home in person and had a long talk with Yao Xin for several hours. From that day on, Yao Xin never missed a single session. Classes, grades have also been raised.

Afterwards, things went smoothly. One was single, the other was divorced, and Yao Xin kept matching them up. The two got their marriage certificates a year after they met.At that time, Yao Xin was just in the third year of middle school. For the sake of the child's future, Liao Zhigang asked someone to find a relationship and transferred his stepdaughter to the thirteenth middle school, and then successfully entered the high school of the school.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a very beautiful remarried family. Yao Xin is called Teacher Liao Zhigang Liao at school, and has a father at home.As for the ex-husband, Qin Li said that he didn't care about the children at all. The reason for the divorce was because the ex-husband had a woman outside, and that woman gave birth to him a son.

After asking Qin Li, Fade Chen's doubts deepened. A good teacher, a good man, a good father, no financial disputes and no emotional entanglements, so who did he offend to end up like this?

I wanted to ask Yao Xin, but the girl didn't come.Qin Li said that the child couldn't stand the shock and locked herself in the house when she entered the house, she was not willing to call.Chen Fei made an appointment with her to go to her home tomorrow for questioning, and then arranged for the trainee police to drive her back.

"You haven't come home yet? It's almost nine o'clock." Fu Lixin couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that Fade Chen had entered the office again. He thought Fade Chen had left early.

"I'll be alone when I go back, and I'll spend the night with the lounge later." Fade Chen threw the notebook on his desk exhaustedly, and picked up the thermos cup to fetch water from the water dispenser.

Fu Lixin got up to pack his things: "I have to go, it's the sixth day of the new year, if I don't go home, my wife will have to change the door lock."

sixth day?Fade Chen was living a confused life, only after hearing what Fu Lixin said did he realize that today is Zhao Pingsheng's birthday.People of their generation basically remember their birthdays according to the lunar calendar, and many of the birth dates on their ID cards were misreported by their parents when they registered for household registration.For example, Zhao Pingsheng's birthday on his ID card was January [-]th, but his real date of birth was February [-]th according to the Gregorian calendar of that year.He is March [-]th, so Comrade Zhao is actually only one month older than him.

He put the cup on his desk, turned around and looked at Zhao Pingsheng's desk, which was as neat and clean as ever: "Where's Lao Zhao? Didn't I go to visit with you?"

"He went straight home."

"Oh."

After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Fade Chen opened the drawer and took out the car keys.Let's celebrate old Comrade Zhao's birthday, he thought, although that guy never likes to celebrate birthdays, but he is 40 years old, it is an important day, and it is worth celebrating.



bell - bell -

When the doorbell rang, Zhao Pingsheng put down the interview records he was sorting out, and got up to open the door.When the door opened, Lu Di was standing at the door with big bags and small bags, smiling.Even if he didn't answer Lu Di's call saying that he would come over to celebrate his birthday, he still knew that it wasn't Fade Chen who came.Fade Chen always knocked on the door directly, and things like the doorbell were out of sight of the other party.

After taking the things and putting them on the coffee table in the living room, he greeted Lu Di: "Sit whatever you want, give me your coat, and I'll hang it up for you."

He took off his coat and handed it to Zhao Pingsheng. Lu Di looked around and said with a light smile, "You really live a simple life. There are no decorative things in the house."

"Hey, I'm alone, what's the fun, hey, sit down, I'll clean up the dining table."

After hanging up Lu Di's coat, Zhao Pingsheng turned to tidy up the files and notebooks piled up on the dining table.He didn't want to celebrate his birthday at first, but Lu Di still remembered it, and said that he ordered a cake for him, so he didn't want to let him down.Lu Di not only brought cakes, but also packed a bunch of food. The outer packaging was from a Japanese grocery store. When he opened it, he found that they were all Japanese food like sashimi, sea urchin, fried tempura, and grilled eel.It’s not cheap, even the packing box is made of wood. Thinking of the Japanese restaurant where he and his younger brother and daughter-in-law went to eat, Zhao Pingsheng estimated that the meal would not be worth 1000 yuan.

After sitting down at the table, Lu Di smiled and held out his hand to him.Zhao Pingsheng reacted, rubbed his hands against his pants, and reached out for the other party to hold.After Lu Di went abroad, he became a Catholic. Before eating, he had to pray "Thank God for giving us food". He had to respect other people's beliefs.

After praying, Lu Di opened his eyes, took out a pair of chopsticks from the exquisitely printed cardboard, picked up a piece of salmon belly that looked very fat and handed it to Zhao Pingsheng: "Come on, today you are the birthday star, the first piece is for you eat."

Pre-research Zhengli

Zhao Pingsheng doesn't like to eat raw food, but it's hard to refuse someone's kindness, so he can only hold it with his mouth open.I didn't chew much, and swallowed it after wrapping it twice.To be honest, he prefers the old-fashioned grocery store where he and Fade Chen can drink duck porridge together, compared to the table-full of exquisite dishes that may be more expensive than the ingredients.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Di looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Pingsheng nodded, then picked up sake to wash away the fishy smell in his mouth.His younger siblings love to eat sashimi, and they say it is not fishy at all, but he still feels fishy no matter how he eats it.

Lu Di scooped up another piece of yellow sea urchin: "Come on, try this horse manure sea urchin again."

"..."

Zhao Pingsheng's expression froze, and he thought that if you didn't say the two words in front of sea urchin, I could laugh more sincerely.

The two were eating and chatting, and before they knew it, they drank half a bottle of sake.In all fairness, the wine is really good, with a hint of plum sweetness, and the alcohol content is not high. Although it is a very large bottle of [-] liters, it will not make you drunk.However, Lu Di's face was red enough. He was already so hot that he took off his hair vest and was wearing a beige shirt on his upper body.

"Cut the cake." Lu Di said as he removed the ribbon from the outer box of the cake, "Don't light forty candles, it doesn't look good if you stick them like a hedgehog."

Zhao Pingsheng was amused, and after laughing, he felt melancholy: "Oh, I will be forty in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast."

"Yeah, we've known each other for over 20 years."

Lu Di's voice could not help being melancholy in the words, opened the box cover, he looked at the words "Happy birthday to you, wish come true" written on the simple cake, and sighed faintly: "In my life, let me tell you I don’t like to listen, some people, no matter how long you keep it, it’s useless, he didn’t grow that string..."

Zhao Pingsheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Hey, I'm used to it. If I don't guard him, my heart will feel empty."

"Bitch, you don't want what you give for free, you have to ask for what you can't reach."

Blaming the other party lightly, Lu Di inserted a thin candle in the middle of the cake, picked up the lighter, and flicked it open to light it.Then he got up and went to the other side of the table, turned off the lights in the living room, with a faint candlelight in his eyes: "Make a wish, my squad leader."

Closing his eyes and making the impossible wish, Zhao Pingsheng opened his eyes and blew out the only light source.The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, but Lu Di didn't turn on the light immediately, just when he was in doubt, his warm, plum-sweet lips pressed forward with a hot breath.

Zhao Pingsheng was startled, and reflexively raised his hand to grab Lu Di's arm, and was about to push him away, but he heard a soul-stirring murmur from the glued lips and teeth: "...he doesn't want you in his life... ……I want……"

In the darkness, the softness and enthusiasm burn with long-suppressed desires, the soul suffering from loneliness and loneliness longs for comfort, and the human body temperature is so irresistible——

No!This is wrong!

Gritting his teeth and pushing away the person who almost climbed onto him, Zhao Pingsheng panted heavily and looked at Lu Di in the dark. -"

Ouch! Ouch!

There was a shocking knock on the door, and Zhao Pingsheng jumped up from his chair in shock.Hastily flicking on the ceiling light, he adjusted his breathing a little, and opened the door forcefully.Outside the door, Fade Chen was carrying a big bag to pack a box and a bottle of wine, looking over his shoulder to the living room, colliding with Lu Di's.

"Someone celebrated your birthday for you, then this... count me as adding two dishes to you."

Stuffing the packing box and wine bottle into Zhao Pingsheng's arms with a stiff expression, Fade Chen turned and walked towards the elevator.Zhao Pingsheng was stunned for two seconds, then he reacted and hurriedly chased him out: "Old Chen, since you're here, let's eat together, Lu Di is also just here."

"Zhao Pingsheng."

Fade Chen was facing the elevator and his back was facing him, his shoulders undulating slowly and heavily, the voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth——

"Don't be so embarrassing in the corridor, you didn't even zip up your pants!"
