Forensics

In the east of Penang, in a luxurious villa.

In the past, this was the gathering place of the Hetu Chamber of Commerce, where the rich and powerful came and went, but now, it is very deserted.

On the long sofa, only Zhen Jiaxu and Huo Lei sat.

Huo Lei rubbed Zhen Jiaxu's shoulders.

Zhen Jiaxu closed his eyes and meditated: "Your technique is really more professional than those masseurs who charge thousands of dollars."

Holly smiled, but didn't speak.

After the massage, facing the empty room, Zhen Jiaxu opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

In the past, those wealthy people were proud to join the Hetu Chamber of Commerce, but after the foundation was investigated, the Shisan Mansion was sealed off, and the employees of the cleaning company were arrested one after another, those people began to protect themselves.Many people are afraid of being contacted by the police, so they avoid them all.There are also many people who voluntarily withdrew from the Hetu Chamber of Commerce.

Although the two of them had expected all this, there was still a sense of desolation as if the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

Huo Lei could see what he was thinking: "The supervisory team has been here recently, and it's normal that no one from the chamber of commerce came here."

Zhen Jiaxu said to Huo Lei: "They have done too much, and there is nothing I can do. I just took this opportunity to break up with those people. From now on, there will be some serious business left in the chamber of commerce, and I am not afraid of the police investigation. In the future, these remaining Everything that comes down is yours."

A few years ago, Zhen Jiaxu felt that there was a problem with the development of the Chamber of Commerce. When the Chamber of Commerce became bigger, the people below had their own ideas.

On the surface, he ignored business matters, was busy doing charity, clinging to relationships, and beat those juniors with words from time to time. In fact, since then, he has started to prepare and clean up the things he has done.

Huo Lei said, "Yes, godfather."

She was respectful on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart.

Zhen Jiaxu is actually eliminating dissidents by taking advantage of the police crackdown.

Sheng Qiancheng and Han Qingyi collapsed, and the old fox in front of him swallowed all the money with tears in his eyes. He harvested foreign assets and made a lot of money. He might wake up laughing from a dream.

She worked so hard, thinking that if Zhen Jiaxu fell, she could just take the last money and run away.

Two people, each plan.

Zhen Jiaxu said again: "However, on the surface, we have been cut off from the city. We can't lose too badly. You can contact Mu Yuwei and make a plan for emergencies. If those people do too much, If the supervisory team really checks it out, we will always have to earn a living."

Huo Lei agreed with this idea of ​​planning for a rainy day, and she asked, "Which side are we going to target?"

Zhen Jiaxu said: "The entire city bureau, and those in the supervision team, the bigger the trouble, the better. If it really gets to that point, it will all end together."

Huo Lei hummed: "I'll ask Mu Yuwei to prepare, but several of their planners and scavengers have also been arrested."

"Isn't Qingshui still there? I'm very satisfied with that kid's plan. There's no need to hide it at this time. You tell Mu Yuwei that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will be damaged. If something happens to me, he will be the first to suffer. .”

Speaking of this, Zhen Jiaxu looked at her again, and stretched out his hand to hold Huo Lei's hand, "Sure enough, you are still smart. I have loved you for so many years."

He is older than Huo Lei. Now, Huo Lei has wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he has become an old man.

Huo Lei left the villa, and when she returned home, she took off her high heels.

She turned to the nanny and said, "I want to take a shower."

The nanny started to help her fill the bathtub with water and sprinkled some flower petals in it.

Huo Lei quickly entered the bathroom. She used hand sanitizer to wash the area that Zhen Jiaxu had pulled over several times, then she took off her clothes and walked into the bathtub.

Holly immersed herself in the hot water.

She is 47 years old, a little older, but she looks much younger than her peers.

After a while, Holly dipped her head in the water.She struggled out of the water until she felt a sense of suffocation, lying on the edge of the bathtub and gasping for breath.

Only then did she feel the fact that she was still alive.

She was born in a Kochi family and is the second daughter of the family.

31 years ago, when she was just 16 years old, she went to the night market with her classmates to watch the lights.The lights were so beautiful that night, she was fascinated by seeing them, and separated from her classmates.That night she was kidnapped and taken to the island.

Those were the two lost years of her life, where she had another name, number 15.

She is a stubborn and intelligent woman. Since she came to the island, she began to learn the language of those people secretly, thinking about escaping one day.

She is tall, beautiful, and well-developed. In addition, she came to the island very early and is familiar with the environment there. Many women regard her as their leader.

She worked hard to get on good terms with the other women in the hospital, hoping that they could pass on news to her and help her escape.

On that island, she tried to make herself picked late, but that day came anyway.One day, a distinguished guest came to the island.She became one of two women chosen.Three months later, she became pregnant.

More and more women came to the island, until finally they were numbered 80 or so.There was a number 82 inside, and I gradually became familiar with her.

The family background of No. 82 is also very good, and she is a few years older than her, and she is very stable in dealing with people.They became friends after she helped 82 get two headshots.

Conceived in October, she gave birth to a baby boy.

She used to think that she was selfish.But when she saw that young life, she felt her heart melted. He was still so young, and she wanted to give him the best.

She held him every day, fed him, put him to sleep, and listened to him cry.

But such days don't last long.

Number 82 brought her a message.She understood those words, the children they gave birth to would be killed soon.

That night, she held the baby and cried for a long time.

She can wait, but her child can't wait anymore.

After giving birth, she has been in poor health, always very weak, and often has a fever.She knew that she might not be able to leave the island.

So she asked No. 82, "Do you want to escape?"

She gathered several women and went to prepare an escape plan.That is the only chance, and it can only succeed, not fail.

In the end, for the sake of the newly born baby, she helped others and chose to stay by herself to face those men.

That night, some women managed to escape with their children in their arms.And she took the lead, killing two guards.

Zhen Jiaxu took people to arrest a few women and came back, and then questioned them.

The other women who did not escape were beaten, flogged, and chained back to their beds while pregnant, never to be free again.

Someone wanted to kill her to vent her anger. She knew that her death was approaching, so she stood there and scolded them loudly.

"Whoever you dare to kill me, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go."

"You despicable men only use women as reproductive tools. Aren't you born from your parents?"

"Women could have produced more value! How many women have you ruined... You have no conscience, are you not afraid of thunder?"

Zhen Jiaxu stood there listening to her scolding, then he pulled her long hair and pushed her against the wall.She struggled desperately, biting, and in exchange for severe beatings.

"You are number 15? You made a plan to let those women escape?" Zhen Jiaxu asked her.

Huo Lei looked straight into his eyes: "Yes! I know what you are doing. In order to keep my child alive, I am not afraid of killing people or doing anything!"

Zhen Jiaxu strangled her throat tightly: "Those women ran away several times, and took away several children! I can't deliver the goods, what will you give me as compensation?"

Huo Lei was so pinched by him that she couldn't breathe for a while, her eyes widened in despair.

Just when she thought she was going to die, Zhen Jiaxu let go of her hand.

She slumped down along the wall, clutching her neck and coughing repeatedly, the feeling of being near death was not good.

Zhen Jiaxu squatted down, looked at the young woman in front of him, and held up her face. Not long after she gave birth, her face was pale and weak, without makeup, but she had a different kind of beauty.

She had just killed someone, and there was still blood on the clothes on her hands. Such a femme fatale made Zhen Jiaxu feel an inexplicable attraction.

He can kill her in many ways, but he lacks fierce and daring female subordinates.Most importantly, he discovered that this woman had the same characteristics as him in some respects.

Zhen Jiaxu's voice softened: "I changed my mind, the damage has already been done, even if I kill you, I can't make up for those things."

Zhen Jiaxu wiped his hands: "You are very beautiful. The guards and doctors didn't trap those pregnant women, which shows that you are very smart. If you dare to kill people, it shows that you are very courageous. These women ran away. I have brought a great loss, I originally wanted to kill you, but I felt it was a bit wasteful."

Huo Lei raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with some vigilance.

Zhen Jiaxu said: "I don't need to kill you, or I can stop you from being a container, but you need to earn money for me. Only when you earn more money than I lost today can you regain your freedom. Are you willing to work with me?" Do I make the deal?"

The man in front of her was a terrifying person, but this was her only way to survive.

Huo Lei was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am willing."

Zhen Jiaxu asked, "What's your name?"

She said, "My name is Huo Lei."

From that day on, Zhen Jiaxu brought her back to Penang, he really kept his promise and didn't kill her.He made Huo Lei his mistress and called her his goddaughter.

Huo Lei became Zhen Jiaxu's white glove, and she helped him a lot, gradually gaining his trust.

Zhen Jiaxu founded the Hetu Chamber of Commerce by herself, and she kept placing suitable women beside those rich people. She could always see through the hearts of those women.

Over time, she gradually shed her identity as a container.But everything in the past is branded in her heart.

She inquired about the situation of her family members. Because of her disappearance, her father died of depression within a few years and died of illness.The mother also passed away within a few years, and the elder sister married far away and died of dystocia during childbirth.

She became a lonely ghost.

After taking a shower, Huo Lei got out of the bathtub and wiped it off with a towel.

There was a scar on her lower abdomen.

It was left after she had an operation at the age of 35. Because she did not have a good rest after giving birth, she was injected with too many egg-stimulating drugs when she was young. Her ovaries failed prematurely and something grew in her uterus. Her female organs were completely destroyed. cut off.

She lost her womb.

She paints herself with exquisite makeup, makes beautiful nails, buys beautiful clothes, does expensive medical beauty, and keeps her appearance beautiful.

But she still often feels that she is dirty, and she is not even considered a woman anymore.

As she got older, she became more and more volatile, irritable, and occasionally broke down and cried.

She has seen a lot of evil, and she has done a lot of bad things. She knows that those people call her a crazy woman behind her back.

But she used to be an innocent little girl, she looked up at those lanterns and smiled.

She was also once a young, beautiful, smart and capable woman who could do anything for her friends.

She was also a mother who would do anything to keep her child alive.

But she was completely destroyed by those people.

Like a rose whose roots have been pulled out and thrown in the mud.

He has fallen to the bottom of the valley, and he can only join in the filth.

So to this day, she doesn't lie to those girls. When she sees them, it's like seeing her former self.

For so many years, she has been restraining herself from looking for the baby who was taken out that year, but she has always been thinking about that child in her heart.

What might her child have become if she lived?

Will it grow tall and handsome?

Will you do well in your studies?

Do you think that she is an extremely bad mother who abandoned him from birth?

He will live well in this world.

After getting dressed, Huo Lei picked up the spare phone, and she called Mu Yuwei: "Hey, this time, godfather wants to play with a big one."

Mu Yuwei said something over there.

Huo Lei's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion: "I don't care what method you use. Godfather has specified a plan to use clear water. Make a plan first, and show it to godfather later. Godfather said that if you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose." If we fall, you will not feel better."

In the Penang City Bureau, during lunch, Gu Yanchen came to have dinner with Shen Junci.

They went to the cafeteria and made some simple work meals.

The two sat in the corner, and then chatted about the modified files.

Gu Yanchen said: "I don't know how many files will be implicated and how long it lasted. I haven't talked about these things with Bureau D and the supervision team yet."

Shen Junci said: "I am more inclined that those revisions were made after the files were entered. Although the network security of the Municipal Bureau is higher than that of ordinary civilian enterprises, it is not impeccable."

Taking his technology as an example, it is not difficult to modify some data.

Gu Yanchen said: "The archives in the Municipal Bureau have always kept paper files, but the lack of files in the electronic system will cause a lot of trouble in the work. It may have to be rearranged later."

Shen Junci lowered his head and ate the food: "Do you still remember the things that the scavenger did in the Thirteen Mansion?"

Gu Yanchen said, "Remember."

The marks left by the scavenger on the female body allowed them to determine the cause of death, and the luminol left in the room allowed them to determine the room where the murder occurred.

Shen Junci explained: "They left obvious traces, which instead allowed us to find the problematic places more quickly. This principle is also the same in electronic information."

Those people modified some of the files, but they couldn't possibly change all the files.

Gu Yanchen understood what he meant: "So..."

Shen Junci's eyes were burning: "So, we can compare the system and paper files to find out which files have been tampered with. Those may be cases where the other party feels guilty."

Gu Yanchen nodded in praise of him: "Smart."

Many acts of injustice will kill themselves, and the loopholes of the other party have actually been revealed before their eyes.

This way you can easily break through the maze.

After lunch, Gu Yanchen got up and said goodbye to Shen Jun: "Let's go, let's go to the archives room together, and don't let others find out that we think there is something wrong with the archives."

In the afternoon, in the city bureau.

Gu Yanchen and Shen Junci walked all the way to the archives room behind the city bureau, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Lao Li and his apprentice guarding it.

All the case files of the Municipal Bureau have long been digitized, but the original paper documents are preserved here.

Lao Li is an old policeman in charge of the files here, and has guarded these files for decades with due diligence.

He was a college student in his early years, and he came to this file room because his leg was injured during an operation.

Back then, it was a good job. Everyone who borrowed files had to come to Lao Li.

The archive room was locked with a code, and if Lao Li didn't open the door, no one could get it.

This old Li has a weird temper and has many rules.

Without the approval of the leader, you can’t check it casually. The borrowed files must be returned within the specified time. When they are returned, they will be inspected. No documents can be lost or altered. The borrowed files are absolutely not allowed to be damaged in the slightest, otherwise Lao Li will scold them. , I will go to complain to the leader.

At that time, everyone joked that Lao Li was like a dragon entrenched here guarding the treasure, and he often kept them away.And it is absolutely unselfish and unreasonable.

But gradually, with the passage of time, young people began to rely more and more on electronic files, and they came to this file room less and less. Except for pushing recent files over for storage after a few months, it was hardly the same as that of old people. Li Duo spoke.

The archive room has changed from being full of people every day to not seeing a single person for ten days and a half months.

Old Li was too lonely, so he sorted out those files repeatedly by himself. Later, he went to the leader and asked for a place, so that he could add someone to sort out the old files again.

At that time, the leaders directly under him were still unwilling to give it: "Now the city bureau is short of manpower. Isn't it enough to manage files by scanning and importing them into the system? One person is enough."

Someone else said: "Why are you looking for an apprentice to sit and chat with you in the file room?"

The Forestry Bureau said: "Although electronic office has been implemented now, the storage and management of original files is also very important. The necessary manpower still needs to be increased."

He approved Lao Li as an apprentice, and he was also a top student at the Public Security University.

Since then, there has been life in this archive room.

Later, the Forestry Bureau approved the renovation plan of the archives room, approved another room for the archives room, and added monitoring and anti-theft systems. The inside is moisture-proof and insect-proof, with constant temperature and humidity, so that those archives can be better protected.

In the file office.

Gu Yanchen greeted Lao Li: "Hello, Uncle Li, my colleagues and I would like to borrow some files."

He used to follow Lin Xianglan to check the files frequently, and he was quite familiar with Lao Li.

Lao Li knew him well and knew that he had the permission to read it, so he asked, "When do you want to call it?"

Gu Yanchen said: "Maybe we need to investigate a few cases. Let's take a look here. If necessary, make a photocopy and don't take the original."

Old Li said: "Then let Xiaoqi take you in."

Lao Li's apprentice is named Qi Jingfeng, nicknamed Xiaoqi.

He entered the password for the electronic lock and led them into the file room.

It was a large room with no windows and a ventilator. The room was more than 200 square meters. On several rows of bookshelves, there were archives over the years.

All the archives are sealed in uniform-sized vellum, which, at first glance, is quite imposing.

It was the first time for Shen Junci to come here.

The files are arranged according to the year, murder cases, disappearances, and various ordinary cases, all neatly coded, and a dust-proof and moisture-proof bag is placed outside each file bag.

The time of the incident was written on the side of the file.Each volume is labeled with key words and a brief outline of the case.

Xiaoqi's computer is not connected to the city bureau's system, but has a separate index for easy search.Whoever borrows the dossier needs to manually sign and write the date for archiving.

Looking at these files, Shen Junci was suddenly moved.

The work Lao Li does seems simple to outsiders, but in fact, it will take several years or even decades to organize so many files to this extent.

It can be said that Lao Li dedicated his whole life to this archive room and these files.

They endured loneliness and waited for these original paper files abandoned by the times.

As police officers, they didn't go to the front line, but their job is also very important.

There are so many villains in this city, but at the same time, there are also so many good people. It is these ordinary people who work hard and silently to make those darkness nowhere to hide, and make every murder case a reality. Injustice cleared.

There are two chairs and a small table in the file room for temporary reference.

The two walked over and sat opposite each other.

Gu Yanchen first asked Xiao Qi to find the original file of Yu Yue's family calling the police and the original file of Mo Xueqing's disappearance.Those originals are all there, and Xiao Qi will find them soon.

Then he retrieved Lin Luo's case, and the confession record was consistent with his memory.

In the end, he asked Xiaoqi to bring the 722 disappearance case about Yu Shen's parents.

These dossiers are very complete, no pages are missing, the writing on them is clear, and the content is very detailed.

At the end of the case file of Yu Shen's parents' disappearance, Shen Junci found a paper library card, which was signed by the person who had borrowed the file.

The second of them was Lu Ying, followed by two unknown police officers.

A name was written on the last grid: Lin Xianglan.

The borrowing date was more than a month before Lin Xianglan was killed.

Although Shen Junci didn't know why Lin Xianglan borrowed this file at that time, it might be the last case he pursued during his lifetime.

Shen Junci showed Gu Yanchen the borrowing card.

The two looked at each other.

The files that Lin Xianglan had borrowed had been deliberately deleted.

At that moment, Shen Junci seemed to see Lin Xianglan's phantom, across time and space, and put the dossier in his hand.

They work together at both ends of time and space.

Shen Junci solemnly opened the file, this may be the key to unlock everything.
