Xu Zhida, 38 years old, nicknamed "Grocery Xu", sells groceries at a night market for a living. A native of the city, when he was 8 years old and traveling with his parents, his parents died unexpectedly and Xu Zhida disappeared. At the age of 22, he suddenly returned to this city and worked as a translator in a foreign trade company. In the company resume, he graduated from a foreign language university. In a foreign contract, because of his mistakes, he caused a lot of losses to the company and was fired. .After that, I found several jobs one after another, but none of them worked well. Later, I began to drink heavily, my personality changed drastically, and I was depressed and world-weary.In the end, it became like this: setting up small stalls and picking up waste products.There are no relatives, friends, and almost no contact with anyone.

No matter what, when everyone heard Xu Zhida's experience, they couldn't help but wonder, how many possibilities are there in a person's life?Where will everyone end up?How can one's fate be predicted?

Everyone was silent, and the air pressure in the huge conference room was low, as if covered by dark clouds!

"Cough!" Gu Guoqiang broke the silence: "Shen Bai, the situation on your side."

Shen Bai stood up and said helplessly, "Can I copy and paste this autopsy report?"

Everyone looked at him.Shen Bai projected the autopsy report on the screen:

"The time and cause of death were exactly the same as Xiang Fei's. The time of death was around 7:04 in the morning. The cause of death was intravenous injection of thiopental, meth, and Pavlon. There was no food in the stomach. The body had been cleaned, including the excretory organs. Enema, no traces of sexual assault, and no other trauma except the liver and kidney damage caused by the deceased’s long-term alcoholism. In addition, there is also a set of numbers on the back waist: "B-12-[-]"

”项飞纹身是C-03-23，3月23是他的死亡日期，徐志达纹身是B-04-12，4月12日是他的死亡日期。那后面的这两个数字是死亡日期？前面的字母又是什么意思呢？”顾国强说。

"One more thing." Shen Bai pushed his glasses: "During the autopsy, I observed that some of the lines on Xiang Fei and Xu Zhida's tattoos were broken by sebum. Judging from the size of the crack and the color of the tattoo, this tattoo was done a long time ago. It can be said that it was a child, such as 8 or 9 years old. It’s just that the tattoo artist’s technique is quite good, and the pigments used are also very advanced, so fading and cracks are not. Obviously, such as cracks, it seems that when the lines are formed, the possible distance for growth is reserved. Well, like, some people will have sebum cracked lines on the thighs and buttocks after they grow from thin to fat, and for example This is the reason for the stretch marks of pregnant women.

Finally, after the visceral examination, the blood volume of the viscera and the degree of contraction of the visceral smooth muscle and sphincter, it can be seen that Xu Zhida was in a high degree of fear before death, but Xiang Fei did not. Xiang Fei can be said to accept death very calmly . "

For the same death, one accepts it calmly, while the other fears it abnormally. With two people whose backgrounds and lives are so different, who wants to live more?Who is more afraid of death?

Only Shang Jing asked with a trembling voice: "He...they determined the date of death at the age of 8 or 9? This...this is terrible."

Chu Yue suddenly thought of Xiaosi's tattoo that Hong Xia said: F-10-09, is it also the date of death?

Just as Shen Bai finished speaking and was about to sit down beside Su Mutian, Zhang Jian pulled him over to sit next to him, and obsequiously handed him a cup of tea to show his respect.

"Chu Yue, the situation on your side." Gu Guoqiang said.

"According to the investigation, at 4:11 p.m. on April 7th, the grocery store Xu went out of the stall normally, but he hurriedly closed the stall and went home in less than two hours. The people in the small courtyard did not see the grocery store. Xu’s room is not what I saw on set, I went there a few times with Chengjian when I was in charge of the film, and his room is almost like a garbage dump, it’s all the waste he picked up.”

"If he cleaned it overnight, wouldn't the people in the courtyard hear it?" Huang Jing asked.

"This is the strange thing," Chu Yue said: "There are 14 households living in the small courtyard, with a total of 49 people. A total of 43 people were at home that night, and 6 people were absent. One of them was the night shift worker of a certain warehouse. ;A family of three went back to their hometown, and the other two stayed in the mahjong parlor all night. All these have been verified. Among the 43 people at home, the last one to go home was at 1 o'clock in the evening, and he was also a night market stall. He returned to the courtyard I didn't notice anything unusual in the groceries Xu's house.

Among the 43 people who stayed in the courtyard, except for the grocery store Xu, the remaining 42 said that they heard nothing that night and slept soundly until 6:[-] in the morning. The sound of music came from inside, and both of them lost money, so they said that Xu Da, the grocery store, played music early in the morning to make people noisy, and planned to use this as an excuse to get angry with Xu Da, the grocery store. He was so frightened that he woke up other people in the yard while calling the police.This is the case. "

As for the peddler's reaction to the person who looked like Ning Shentong who bought things at Xu Zhida's stall, Chu Yue didn't say anything, because he was not sure, and since he told Gu Guoqiang anyway, Gu Guoqiang would naturally judge, but he still wanted to know What does Gu Guoqiang think of this person?

"What are the things and living facilities shared by everyone in the compound?" Gu Guoqiang asked.

"Bathroom and kitchen" Chu Yue took out a simple floor plan of the courtyard: "There is a room on the left side of the courtyard, inside is the kitchen utensils of each family, people in the courtyard cook here, and the bathroom is outside the small courtyard In the alley, there is a public toilet."

"Trace inspection!" Gu Guoqiang called his name.

"The footprints at the scene were chaotic, and there were messy fingerprints on the doors and cabinets. After verification, they belonged to people living in the courtyard. There was no information in the mobile phone that played the music. It seemed that it was left there for the purpose of playing the music. There were no injection equipment, no There are no drug residues, except for the water stains left by cleaning." The colleague of Trace Inspection said helplessly.

"Zhang Jian, what about your situation?"

"That section is considered a blind spot in the old city, and there is no surveillance. My colleagues from the branch office and I checked the nearby surveillance cameras and vehicles. From 4:11 pm on April 2 to 4:12 pm on April 2, we checked a total of 45 vehicles entering and leaving. , there are no suspicious vehicles. Pedestrians cannot identify them one by one."

"Captain Su, what do you think?" Gu Guoqiang asked Su Mutian.

Su Mutian said: "Judging from the current situation, the background, circle of life, and living conditions of the deceased in the two cases are completely different, and there is nothing in common, but the scene is almost the same, and it also presents a scene of sacrifice or execution.

If it is a sacrifice, in every kind of sacrifice and sacrifice, the sacrifices have the same place, for example, the virgin boys and girls used to sacrifice to the river god in ancient times, or some primitive tribes in history used virgins to worship the sky. The sacrifices all have common characteristics.

If it is an execution, then the deceased has committed a sin, such as the well-known "seven deadly sins", in which every victim has committed the seven deadly sins of the Catholic Church: gluttony, greed, laziness, anger, pride, arrogance And envy, one of them, was thus put to death for the sins he had committed.

Going back to this case, we must find the similarities between the two cases and the two deceased before we can make an initial judgment.If combined, then this is what we must do. "

"Captain Su is right. Huang Jing and Shang Jing, please go through all the information and try to find the same places. Also, Zhang Jian, please investigate to see if there have been similar cases before."

After the meeting was over, Chu Yue saw that he had not assigned his own tasks, so he went to Gu Guoqiang's side to see how he was arranged.Su Mutian was sorting out the materials on the table. Chu Yue saw Su Mutian's slender fingers sorting out the materials, and thought that this hand was more suitable for playing the piano than holding a gun.

"Well, that Ning Shentong..." Chu Yue asked Gu Guoqiang.

Seeing Su Mutian's hand pause, Chu Yue picked up the documents, and Chu Yue picked up a few scattered ones and handed them to him. .

"How does it feel to go back to the institute?" Gu Guoqiang asked him with a smile, as if he didn't hear Chu Yue's question: "Do you want to go back?"

"Ha, I was slaughtered several times by them. We all wish I could get away as far as possible! I won't go back."

"The work at the grassroots level is trivial and exhausting. Police officer Chu has stayed at the grassroots level, which is admirable!" Su Mutian said with a smile.

"Well, don't praise me, I won't leave if you praise me." Chu Yue played a rogue.

The three walked out talking and laughing.

Chu Yue came out of the shower, saw Gu Guoqiang in the kitchen, and walked over:

"Have supper?"

"Well, I haven't eaten in the past few days. What do you want to eat?" Gu Guoqiang said.

"Eat noodles! Tomato and egg noodles." Chu Yue always thought that Gu Guoqiang could open a noodle restaurant, and suggested with great interest: "You can open a noodle restaurant after you stop being a criminal police officer, and the business will be good!"

"Okay, what about you?" Gu Guoqiang opened the refrigerator.

"I'm in charge of eating!" Chu Yue said naturally.

"Eating for nothing?"

"Then I'll be responsible for collecting the money! It's also very hard." Chu Yue said reluctantly.

"Okay." Gu Guoqiang smiled, this one is more clumsy than Ling Dang'er: "But there are no ingredients in the refrigerator, and I haven't been home for a while, and the rest is broken."

Seeing Chu Yue's disappointed look, Gu Guoqiang said helplessly, "I'll go to the street supermarket to buy some. It's open 24 hours a day."

"Okay! I'll go with you!" Chu Yue was instantly happy again, Gu Guoqiang shook his head, childishness!

Chu Yue was about to go out wearing big pants, a T-shirt, and slippers.

Gu Guoqiang went to his room and took sweatpants and a jacket for him to put on: "It's still cold, don't catch a cold."

"Oh, you're really annoying. Mother-in-law's is more annoying than my mother's." Chu Yue muttered and put it on, and Gu Guoqiang put on a gray knitted cardigan over his home clothes, and the two walked to the supermarket.

The wind in early spring is a bit cool, buds have begun to emerge on the branches on the side of the road, swaying gently in the night wind, the moon hangs quietly in the sky, smiling at the two people walking side by side, this kind of leisure Time is too rare for them, it seems that they come and go everywhere in a hurry, and they don't have much time to talk, let alone take a walk.

"I don't have time to go to Yuan Shan's training recently, right?" Gu Guoqiang asked.

"Yeah, I've been there a few times before, but I haven't seen Yuan Shan. He said that he went out with Xue Nan. Hey, tell me, why are Yuan Shan and Xue Nan so good? He's going to do it for others with his identity. Personal bodyguard? I don’t even believe it! I heard Zhang Heng said that a big star invited him before and he didn’t go. How much money did Xue Nan give? Yuan Shan is not a person who is short of money!”

"Well." Gu Guoqiang smiled: "Perhaps being a private bodyguard also depends on fate. It may not be so if Yuan Shanshang rushes to do it for others."

"Anyway, I think they are too close." Chu Yue said puzzled.

Gu Guoqiang smiled and said nothing, and said in his heart, maybe the intimacy is beyond your imagination.From a certain point of view, he and Yuan Shan are close friends, sharing some secrets of each other.

Before Yuan Shan retired from the army, they worked together on several cases. They cooperated tacitly and appreciated each other's abilities. It can be said that heroes cherish heroes.Gu Guoqiang remembered the time he met Yuan Shan a few years later, and it was also that meeting that allowed him and Yuan Shan to see another side of each other.
