White veil.... "Requiem"...

A voice said: "The third movement of the Requiem is played live, the second section "Sacrifice and Prayer". And this terrible and moving passage depicts a merciless reckoning, human sin in life, music Embodying a steadfast and ruthless determination, it transformed the eternal doubts of mankind into fear and confidence in the Lord."

Another voice said: "The main meaning of the second passage is: Please accept the sacrifices and prayers we offer to the Lord in praise of the Lord. In order to make the souls we commemorate today rise from death to the realm of life Does playing this piece live imply a kind of sacrifice, sacrifice!"

The white veil suddenly turned into a sharp knife and slashed at his left arm. Chu Yue groaned and opened his eyes slowly. He found himself lying on a raised rock, which seemed to be a valley, with a steep slope behind him. Looking up, I don't know how high it is. I tried to support it with my hands, only to find that my left arm was completely useless, and my shirt and jeans were also scratched a few times, with blood oozing. I barely sat up halfway, and my right ankle was severely injured The pain is unbearable.There seemed to be a faint noise coming from the top of the mountain.

Chu Yue took a deep breath, held back the pain, put his right hand on the ground, and slowly moved to the side of two rocks, stuck out his tongue to catch the magma water dripping from the protruding corner of the rock.Then he shrank himself behind the stone.Even if you die, you can't let those people find it. This is the only belief now.

There was also the string of numbers tattooed on the back of the waist, which hurt like needles. He clearly knew what the format of the numbers was, and it was the same as the numbers on the waists of countless dead people he had seen, but this What is the number of times?

But where is Gu Guoqiang?Is it also in another room covered with white gauze?He would not believe that those cases were related to Gu Guoqiang, even if the arrest warrant stated that he was a serial killer, this trust never wavered.But, can we still meet?If it is really him, I will definitely catch him with my own hands!Even if he was shot dead, no one would let him touch him!

A fallen leaf floated on his body, it was autumn, Chu Yue thought, has it been two years so soon?I remember that it was also an autumn when I first met Gu Guoqiang.At that time, he was still a carefree little policeman, catching cats and dogs at the police station to mediate disputes every day. It was not until the series of cases that were thunderous and rainy and inexplicably closed perfectly that he came to Gu Guoqiang's side, and then he got a glimpse of the world. madness.

It was also miraculous to think about it, those small cases were like a spider spinning a web, forming a big web around each person and event, and he fell into it ever since.

Even if he couldn't leave this valley, he didn't regret his choice. The only regret was that he didn't have time to say something to him.

Everything started from the incident of "Pork Belly" being beaten, from those small cases, it seemed that the pain was gone back to that morning, and the pain seemed to be lightened, and it was so sweet that one wanted to fall asleep, Chu Yue closed his eyes again, with a smile on his face …

Third Street Police Station, Yunshi District, Huaian City.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Chu Yue bit the deep-fried dough sticks, humming a song, walked into the police station, entered the rest room, threw the exquisite rucksack and the deep-fried dough sticks in the bag on the table, and took the police uniform Change.Li Mingyi walked in, leaned on the table with his legs crossed, picked up the deep-fried dough stick and bit half of it in one bite, half-smiling:

"Jiao'er, the police are out."

"It's so early in the morning, who is so busy doing things?" Chu Yue buttoned up his tie, put on his tie, straightened his police cap in front of the mirror on the wall, and nodded in satisfaction at the handsome guy in the mirror: "Look at that." Brother, this looks good! Brother, this police dispatch is simply a promotional video for our people’s police! The era of looking at the face, you can’t be convinced. Hey, what are you talking about? Let’s go.”

"Hey hey, don't worry. You can be more smug for a while." Li Mingyi bit the fritters and got used to this shameless narcissist.

"Go to the police, brother, how can you wait to go to the police? You will be complained later, and you don't want your bonus?" Chu Yue was surprised.

Li Mingyi couldn't help smiling: "Do you know what's going on? Just that pork belly..."

"Pork belly? He beat his wife and children again?" Chu Yue frowned.

"No, he was beaten this time, hahahaha." Li Mingyi couldn't help laughing: "So let's go slowly."

The jurisdiction of the Third Street Police Station is quite special, with lakes and mountains, a beautiful environment, and convenient transportation. To the north is the high-end residential area in Huai'an City, to the east is the business center bordering the city center, to the south is the wholesale market, and to the west is the yet-to-be The demolished old town.

There is often a joke in the institute. From the Tianshun Garden community in the north to the old city in the west across a street, it is directly from the United States to Africa. It is only one street away, but there are two kinds of lives.The security team of Tianshun Garden is managed militarily. All the security guards are like the national flag squad. They are polite, responsible and eye-catching. The residents are either rich or expensive.Living in Tianshun Garden is almost a status symbol for people in Huai'an City.

The intertwined streets of the old city, the mottled old houses, the decades-old dormitories of some closed units that have not been demolished, the corners of red brick houses, slate houses, asbestos tiles, old coal sheds... except for some Most of the old residents are migrants who live in rented houses. The better houses in the old street are rented by some people who do business in the wholesale market, and those who are almost doing small businesses, those who just started working, and those who do odd jobs, etc. Quite complex and highly mobile, it is also the place where troubles, big and small, are most likely to happen.

Most of the energy of the police station is basically focused on this area. The temporary residence permit alone is a big headache, not to mention the everyday things, such as whose quilt was stolen from someone’s house today, and whose pot of meat was stolen tomorrow. Take it away and wait for trivial and weird things.

Comparing the two sides of the street, they are like a good boy and a bear boy. At most, Tianshun Garden is just to take a look when patrolling. The details of Zhou's public security information were handed over to the office, which was extremely relaxing.

It's just short of soaking here 24 hours a day.It just so happened that Chu Yue and Li Mingyi were in charge of this area again, and they dreamed of being transferred to the opposite side, but that old slippery director was just pretending to be stupid.

Hearing that it was "Pork belly" who was beaten, Chu Yue couldn't help smiling, slowed down his pace, and walked around, saying hello to others while listening to Li Mingyi's description of the situation.

This "pork belly" is a meat stall in the old street vegetable market. You can tell from the nickname that it looks like a fat man with a fat body. There are only a few things in life: drinking, gambling, beating his wife and children, and there is a 13-year-old daughter.The office has to pick up the police from his family at least once a week, so what can I do?As long as no one is killed, what else can I do besides education and detention in a detention center?There are too many, too many families and situations like this in Old Town.

Li Mingyi said that when he received the police in the morning, the pork belly was tied to the electric pole at the entrance of the alley, his body was stripped off, and his face was written in big red letters: I am a beast, not as good as a pig or a dog. Stop beating your wife and so on, with pig intestines on your shoulders, pig belly on your head, and drenched water all over your body... Chu Yue couldn't stop laughing when he heard that, yes!This brute has a day too:

"Mingyi, hahaha, which hero did this? Damn, if I don't wear this police uniform, I'll do the same to him."

Li Mingyi also smiled: "I don't know, I already want to invite this hero to drink!"

Even after listening to what Ming Yi said, Chu Yue couldn't help being stunned when he saw the scene of the pork belly. Although it was early in the morning, the crowd was already full, and the wife of the pork belly was standing beside him tremblingly. Looking at them for help, while Wuhuarou's 13-year-old daughter stood aside coldly, Chu Yue couldn't help but look at her more. Wuhuarou's surname is Wang, and her daughter's name is Wang Yuyu.Because she was born as a daughter, the mother bled profusely when she was born, and she couldn't get pregnant again after surgery. This is probably one of the reasons why the mother and daughter were beaten at any time.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yue covered his nose, the pork belly was covered with pigs' water, emitting a stench, his red face was streaked with sweat, revealing his pale skin, and the words on his body were also covered in blood. Blurred with sweat, his eyes were glazed over, and he was shivering.

"Are you injured? Let's untie it first." When Mingyi finished taking the photo, Chu Yue was about to cover his nose and untie his hands tied behind the pole.

"No!" Pork Belly suddenly said loudly, "What time... what time is it?"

"Huh?" Chu Yue looked at his watch: "8:[-]."

"No...can't solve it. It takes...12 o'clock to solve it." Pork Belly said tremblingly.

"12 o'clock? Hehehe" Chu Yue couldn't help laughing: "Who tied you up and set a time?"

Sitting in the police station, Pork Belly stared blankly at the ground, still curled up in his coat, looking very cold, although it was early autumn, it was a bit chilly, but it wasn't cold enough.

"Wang Fugui, tell me, what's going on? Did you owe someone money?" Chu Yue raised his feet and asked absently. Dr. Wu, the old man who runs a small clinic, was called to check him up, and he was not injured, so he was asked to go back to the police station to make a statement, and he had to go through a procedure when reporting to the police, although in everyone's mind, this rogue domestic violence It is a very pleasant behavior for a man to be tidied up like this.

Pork Belly Wang Fugui didn't say anything, just said one sentence over and over again:

"Officer Chu, I don't know anything. I, I will never beat my wife and children again."

"By the way, it's good to have this awareness! All right, let's talk about it if you think of something." Chu Yue didn't have the heart to talk to him.Then he called his wife and daughter for questioning. His wife was trembling and couldn't speak a whole sentence.

Chu Yue looked at his daughter Wang Yuyu.This 13-year-old girl showed a steady and mature age, with bruises on her face and an indifferent look, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.Chu Yue usually felt sorry for this girl. Born in such a family, she was beaten twice in three days, and she didn't say anything every time she asked, let alone what life she was living. Just this name made her suffer among her classmates. mocked.Chu Yue tried his best to lower his voice and ask her softly, but he didn't expect her to answer.

"Didn't your dad come home yesterday? Someone said he was tied there in the middle of the night, did you hear anything? Do you know why?"

"Because there are angels!" the little girl said suddenly, which startled Chu Yue. When she looked up at her, a smile appeared on the little girl's face, and that smile bloomed like a flower on her injured face.

At noon, Chu Yue decided to add a chicken leg to himself. No matter what, the pork belly was cleaned up like this, which is a very happy thing.

It was a rare afternoon when nothing happened, Chu Yue happily hummed a song, thinking about how to go out with Yangzi, Huaner and the others to go out with Yangzi and Huaner, and Yangzi came back from abroad, planning to start a local business to serve the motherland Contributing to my hometown, I haven't had a good get-together except for the welcome wine just after I came back. Today I called to make an appointment, but I dare not agree until the end of work time.Those who catch cats and dogs have to stay until midnight every day, and there is no overtime pay.

"Chu Yue, please sort out the information about the pork belly incident this morning and send it to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. Immediately!" The director hurried over and said.

"What? Boss, are you okay?" Chu Yue leaned on the back of the chair and said with his head back: "The criminal investigation team of the city bureau? The pork belly thing? I'll go, the criminal investigation team has nothing to do? Can they catch cats and dogs? ? They also take care of this shit?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"

"Hey, let me say, Boss, the three of Wang Fugui's family didn't say anything today, what to do."

"I know, that's why I asked you to go in person. It was said over there that the police officers who dealt with the scene should go in person."

"Damn it, you're free!"

"You can go directly to Gu Guoqiang and Captain Gu! Otherwise, you can go in the car in the office, and people will be waiting."

The Chuyue family is full of beauties and handsome guys, with unique genes, tall, thin, handsome, and handsome, with exquisite facial features, and a bit of a naughty and naughty smile, especially recruiting girls. After graduation from the police academy, many girls The child ran to the office to take a peek at this handsome little police officer, and received a lot of flowers and gifts. One time, some rich second-generation girl sent several large bouquets of roses. Everyone teased him and asked him to show his face Xu, Chu Yue tilted his head and curled his mouth, and hummed:

"Bah! It's rare, my young master is more charming than Huajiao!" From this, he got the nickname "Master Jiao".

Chu Yue put those thin records and police records in the file bag, and thought about taking a taxi to forget it. Once he handed over the files, he would have time to find Yangzi and the others, and he had to drive back after driving the car in the office. Trouble .I don't even bother to drive my own car.

The new building of the Municipal Bureau is almost on the edge of the city, and you have to travel halfway across the city to get there. The taxi fare will definitely not be reported. Well, this young master will bear it by himself. Go squeeze the bus and sweat all over. Grandpa was crushed.

The new building of the Municipal Bureau was dignified and dignified. Chu Yue hadn't been here a few times. Apart from delivering materials, running errands, and group training, a small group of policemen from a police station would have no chance to hang out here for nothing.

After asking the guard, he went straight to the criminal investigation team. Sure enough, getting off work had nothing to do with the criminal investigation team. Everyone was busy, and no one paid him any attention. He found the office of the criminal investigation team leader by himself. The door was ajar, and he knocked. The door, before letting go of your hand, said in a deep voice:

"Come in."

"Report, I'm from the Third Street Police Station, and I'm looking for Captain Gu Guoqiang to deliver the information." Chu Yue said while looking around, the room was dark and smoky, so that he stopped for a moment before seeing a tall figure by the window.

"Oh, sit!" The man said simply, his voice was a little hoarse, and against the light, Chu Yue didn't see clearly what the captain looked like.

"The information has been delivered, then I..." With an inexplicable feeling of depression, Chu Yue wanted to leave as soon as the information was delivered.

"No hurry, you sit first." The man pointed to the sofa, took the file and sat behind the desk.

There were several pieces of clothes piled up on the sofa, Chu Yue picked up the clothes with his fingers, and found a seat for himself to sit down, the man lit a cigarette and looked down at the file, Chu Yue looked around boredly, there was a whiteboard by the window, There are photos and arrows on it, I don’t know what to write, I can’t see it, the table is full of materials, and there are a few drunk cups on the coffee table, in short, it’s a mess.

Hmph, Chu Yue thought to himself, pretending to be busy?He didn't think about his own kennel, which was even more messy. If he didn't have his aunt to clean it every week, he would be worse than the kennel. Anyway, he felt uncomfortable being assigned this task after get off work. Take the opportunity to slander and find some inner balance.

It would be a lie to say that he has no other ideas. What hot-blooded man doesn't want to join the criminal investigation team?He also once passionately wanted to enter criminal investigation, and became famous for several major and important cases, but he went to the police station as soon as he graduated, catching cats and dogs every day, even if he was exhausted, he was still far from these major and important cases. Qianli, Shang Jing, who graduated from the same class, entered the criminal investigation. Although Shang Jing is the top student in the class, she is not bad, but Shang Jing is still a girl, which makes him vomit blood.

"Hello! You! Are you here today?" Just as he was thinking wildly, the man suddenly asked.
