Back to 1990. Criminal Investigation

The summer vacation is only halfway through, and the third year of high school starts early, so Ding Chong goes back to school. Leng Jiucheng is busy with the murder case in red and often works overtime. The two meet less and less. These days, Leng Jiucheng has made it a habit to go to Li Meihua's clothing store every day The habit of looking.

This day, Li Meihua's hair was loose, black and soft like a waterfall, and his nose, face, and mouth looked very similar to Leng Jiucheng's. He was distracted for a while and stood by the door for a little longer. When he was about to leave, Li Meihua opened the door and came out, " Do you want to buy clothes, sir?"

"No... I'm passing by." Leng Jiucheng turned around to leave, Li Meihua called to stop him, "I see you stand outside our store every day to watch, you might as well come in and have a look, you can buy it for your family and friends."

Li Meihua's voice was soft and weak, but she was so confident that people couldn't bear to refuse. Ding Chong followed her into the store.

Entering the room, Li Meihua said: "The big belly is not easy to move, ask my sister to introduce it to you, if you have clothes you like, let her pick it up for you." After she finished speaking, she winked at her sister.

Li Meijuan walked over timidly, "This is our latest design, the fabric is soft..."

The voice became more and more trembling, Leng Jiucheng looked over, Li Meijuan's face was as red as a red apple, what happened to her busy aunt?

Seeing Leng Jiucheng's confused face, Li Meihua, who was hiding in the corner, had no choice but to come out again and push away her disappointing younger sister, "My younger sister just came here, and she is nervous about customers, so let me introduce you..."

Leng Jiucheng looked over at Li Meijuan, and my aunt walked away dejectedly.

Li Meihua stopped suddenly in the middle of the introduction, looked down at her stomach, "I don't know what's wrong, little guy? You've been kicking me since you entered the door."

Leng Jiucheng looked at her swollen belly full of mixed flavors, and wanted to call her mother, but finally held back. With Li Meihua's enthusiastic introduction, Leng Jiucheng bought a skirt for Zhang Juan.

Li Meihua folded the clothes and put them in the bag, "Bought for your mother?"

Leng Jiucheng looked at her, and it took him a long time to say "hmm".

"Don't buy one for your wife?"

Leng Jiucheng: "I don't have a girlfriend yet."

Li Meihua sent Leng Jiucheng away, closed the store door and laughed at his sister: "Look, you are so nervous, if it happens in the future, you must not stutter in front of him?"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Li Meihua leaned closer to his sister, "I'm not married, I'm not dating, I'm sure I'll be watching you outside the store every day, and when he comes again, I'll ask your brother-in-law to go out and make a fool of yourself, if you're an unmarried man or a woman, just say it if you're unmarried, and you shouldn't say it every day when you come to see me. Anxious... have you noticed that he looks somewhat similar to our family, which means that you have a husband and wife look. "

Li Meijuan blushed even more with embarrassment, turned her head and walked away, ignoring her sister.

Leng Jiucheng thought of having to work overtime at night, so he went to Zhang Juan's barber shop with his skirt in his hand. There was only one customer in the shop, who looked to be in his 40s. The two were talking about something, which made Zhang Juan giggle.

Leng Jiucheng waited outside the door for a while, the laughter stopped before he went in, just as the customer had finished his haircut. Although he was middle-aged, he was tall and strong, in good shape and very talkative, so he took the initiative to say hello to Leng Jiucheng.

Before leaving, the guest whispered something in Zhang Juan's ear. Zhang Juan's face turned red instantly. Leng Jiucheng sensed something was wrong, and turned his back to them. After they left, Zhang Juan hurriedly said to Leng Jiucheng, "Old man!" Customers are gone, people like to joke, don’t get me wrong if you don’t have a straight face.”

Leng Jiucheng not only didn't care about this matter, but encouraged Zhang Juan, "Auntie is not very old, if there is something suitable, you can consider it."

"How old am I, how can I still have such thoughts, as long as Ding Chong grows up healthily, I will be satisfied."

Leng Jiucheng: "Ding Chong will have his own life when he grows up. You can't follow him all your life. It's also a good thing to have someone to shelter you from the wind and rain."

Zhang Juan was embarrassed by the words, and turned to clean up the broken hair on the ground, "Why did you come to the barber shop suddenly? Do you want auntie to cut your hair for you?"

Leng Jiucheng looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was indeed a bit long. He sat down on the chair and said, "Cut it short."

Zhang Juan knew that he was very busy at work and didn't have time to take care of complicated hairstyles, so she obeyed him and lost her long hair and left a layer of short stubble. It's not ugly at all, it fits his temperament very well, and he looks cooler. Sure enough, the hairstyle is only for decoration, mainly to see the face.

Leng Jiucheng kept the skirt, Zhang Juan didn't want the two of them to shirk for a while, and Zhang Juan stayed.

The next day, Leng Jiucheng went to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting. On the way, he picked up a file bag. He thought that some police officer had dropped it and kept holding it. He was going to ask in the conference room. Looking for something in a hurry, Leng Jiucheng guessed that he was looking for this document, and went up to inquire. When the man looked up, it was none other than his father, Leng Yunqing.

This document is Leng Yunqing's speech, and the consequences of losing the speech are disastrous, so I am very grateful to Leng Jiucheng. After the meeting, Fei took Leng Jiucheng to eat at home. I wanted to see what my home was like. After my parents died, the house was sold by my grandparents. I never knew what my home looked like when my parents were alive.

As usual, Leng Yunqing went to pick up his wife first. Li Meihua was happy to see Leng Jiucheng's surprise, and took her sister home together.

A small two-bedroom, the room is mainly warm tones, and the decoration is very warm. The master bedroom is the room of their husband and wife, and there is a pink crib in the second bedroom. Wearing a row of small pink clothes, Leng Jiucheng reluctantly exited the pink children's room.

Leng Yunqing smiled and said: "My wife insists that the belly is a girl, and all the baby products are pink. The old man said that the pointed belly is a boy, and the round belly is a girl. I am sure it is a boy."

Li Meihua came over holding her belly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm pregnant with a girl."

Leng Jiucheng asked casually, "What would you do if it was a boy?"

Li Meihua thought for a while, "Cut off his penis."

Leng Jiuzheng: "..." trembling.

Li Meihua laughed loudly, "Just kidding, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, boys and girls like it, but I do women's clothing, and I prefer girls a little bit." She touched her swollen belly, "I will also be very fond of boys." love him."

Leng Jiucheng had a sore nose. Li Meihua was already in the third trimester of pregnancy, and her stomach looked slightly bigger than ordinary pregnant women. Leng Jiucheng remembered that his grandmother said that he weighed more than nine catties when he was born. It took several days for his mother to give birth to him. Li Meihua's death may Because the fetus is too large, the symptoms also look like amniotic fluid embolism. No matter what the cause is, it is safest to go to the hospital to give birth and get timely help. Perhaps Li Meihua can survive. If the mother can survive, he will have no regrets in his heart.

At the dinner table, Leng Yunqing began to perform the tasks assigned by his daughter-in-law, and asked Leng Jiucheng a series of personal questions about his work and family.

Leng Jiucheng answered truthfully, but every time she answered a question, her aunt Li Meijuan's face turned red. Before she finished her meal, Li Meijuan hurriedly hid in the bedroom and never came out again.

Leng Yunqing prepared the wine, and Leng Jiucheng was happy to have a few drinks with him. Leng Yunqing usually doesn't talk much, except for his wife's assignments, it is Li Meihua who chats with Leng Jiucheng. After drinking, the father and son talk more and more .

In the past, Leng Jiucheng never touched alcohol. He didn't touch anything that could affect the logic of his thinking. He lived like a machine. In 1990, he saw the parents he was thinking about. Their lives were plain and happy. Happiness gradually relaxed Leng Jiucheng's tense emotions. Leng Jiucheng talked about many negative cases of mothers giving birth at home, and reminded Leng Yunqing and his wife many times to go to the hospital to give birth. They must go to the hospital to give birth.

Leng Yunqing also drank his head, and didn't think carefully about why Leng Jiucheng insisted on sending them to the hospital, but only reassured him that they would definitely go to the hospital to give birth.

When Leng Jiucheng came home, the light in the room was on, and the window showed the figure of a young man leaning over his desk. Why was Ding Chong at his house?He was too lazy to go through the door and jumped in through the window.

Ding Chong was absorbed in brushing the questions, Leng Jiucheng suddenly jumped in from the side window to scare him, just as he was about to speak, he smelled alcohol on Leng Jiucheng, "Have you been drinking?"

Leng Jiucheng didn't speak, just looked at Ding Chong.

Ding Chong was flustered by his stare.

Leng Jiucheng: "Why are you doing your homework at my house?"

Ding Chong took a look at the room, it was clearly his bedroom, Leng Jiucheng drank too much and remembered wrongly, he went out to make a glass of honey water and handed it to Leng Jiucheng, Yiqiao said, "Drink it and lie down on the bed."

At this time, he noticed that Leng Jiucheng had cut his hair, and his cool looks were even cooler with this hairstyle. Ding Chong raised his hand and touched the top of Leng Jiucheng's head. Hold it, and the next second a strong arm brings him into his embrace.

Ding Chong panicked, but he couldn't push the person away, "Brother Leng, what are you doing?"

"Hold you to sleep." Leng Jiucheng's eyes were blurred, his cheeks were slightly red, he really drank too much.

Leng Jiucheng was very powerful, Ding Chong couldn't push him away, he couldn't be tough, so he had to change his words and say, "Let go of me first, okay?"

"Not good." Leng Jiucheng hugged Ding Chong and lay on the bed, rubbed against Ding Chong's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Good night."

A tiger that does not allow anyone to approach, its inadvertent gentleness is the most deceptive, Ding Chong raised his leg and used his foot to turn off the light switch, the room was plunged into darkness, the sound of Leng Jiucheng's breathing lingered in his ears, Ding Chong couldn't help but his heart beat faster, One after another, it seems to jump out of the body.

He wanted to wait for Leng Jiucheng to fall asleep and leave secretly. Unknowingly, he was also sleepy. Half asleep and half awake, he felt warm breath approaching his cheek, and then a kiss fell on his forehead. He suddenly opened his eyes. , Leng Jiucheng's lips had slid from his forehead to the tip of his nose.

Ding Chong's breathing became heavier, his body was as stiff as a piece of wood, somewhere was burning like a fire, there was only a sliver of rationality left, reminding him not to do this, he pushed Leng nine times, "Brother Leng."

"Huh?" Leng Jiucheng was hoarse, with a bewitching voice, and quickly blew the fire from one place all over his body.

Leng Jiucheng has always been serious in his work, kissing from forehead to chin, and then from chin to neck, devout like a believer.

The sudden kiss without warning and the inexplicable desire soon destroyed Ding Chong's rationality. The intensive kisses, like a burst of electric current passing through the body, aroused layers of numbness.

The two voices fought in Ding Chong's body, and finally he stood on the peak rationally. He pushed Leng Jiucheng outward, "Brother Leng, don't do this."

As soon as the words fell, Leng Jiucheng held his Adam's apple in his mouth, and Ding Chong couldn't say anything for an instant. When Leng Jiucheng's kiss fell to his lips and touched the corner of his lips, Ding Chong came to his senses completely, and ruthlessly kissed Leng Jiucheng. He took a bite of his arm, and he still didn't let go after eating nine times of pain and cold. The strength of his arm was much weaker than before. Ding Chong took the opportunity to push the person away.

Soon there was the sound of Leng Jiucheng sleeping soundly beside the bed, Ding Chong glanced at the bed, Leng Jiucheng fell asleep, it seems that he really drank too much, otherwise Leng Jiucheng would not be able to do this, in his previous life he met someone who liked the same sex People, I don't reject this matter, but Leng Jiuzheng sees a straight man of steel at first glance, so it is absolutely impossible for him to have such thoughts. Alcohol must be at work tonight.

Qi Ding Chong took a deep breath and forcibly put the turmoil caused by the kiss behind him. He sat down at the desk, turned on the lamp and continued to study the questions. go to school.

Locked up the bicycle, Ding Chong and Bai Ren walked forward side by side, Bai Ren said: "Chi Rui went to Lingling's butcher shop again recently, and Lingling's parents gave him money, but he remembered what happened last time and came to blackmail more, Lingling Parents plan to close the store, which is the only income for his family, and the whole family will starve to death if the store is closed.

Chen Ling wants to end this matter. On the day you went to make up for math, we visited Chi Rui once. He thought we were children, and he didn't look down on us and looked down on others. , or the Chen family gave up opening the store, now Lingling doesn't want his parents to close the store, so we have to find a way to let Chi Rui let go. "

Ding Chong: "If Uncle Chen and Auntie Chen didn't accept the private mediation that day, they would be punished in Chi Rui."

Bai Ren: "But how long can this kind of sentence be sentenced? After he comes out, Chi Rui will make things harder for Chen Ling's family. The police can't solve Chi Rui's problem. We can only rely on ourselves. We can only give up if we can convince Chi Rui. Let's see how he will always look down on us."

"What are you going to do now?" Ding Chong asked.

Bai Ren: "We plan to get together tonight to discuss this matter. I said this to ask if you will go?"

It is impossible to negotiate peacefully with someone like Chi Rui. The solution Bai Ren said is nothing more than fighting and subduing each other in the most brutal way. If things get serious, Bai Ren and Ding Chong may be expelled from the school. Once expelled from the school, All Ding Chong's dreams were shattered.

Fighting with social personnel is not a trivial matter in the third year of high school. If there is a slight failure, you will not be able to take the college entrance examination. On the one hand, it is the risk of the future, and on the other hand, it is the experience of friends. Ding Chong hesitates.

Bai Ren sneered, "Ding San, when did you become so timid? When Liang Cheng harassed you, Chen Ling and the others taught Liang Cheng a lesson for you. When Chen Ling was in trouble, your attitude really disappoint others."

"I didn't let them teach Liang Cheng a lesson, it was Lingling's arbitrariness."

The two of them didn't speak any more, they were silent for a moment, Ding Chong took the initiative to say, "Bai Ren, do you want to go to university?"

Bai Ren said bluntly: "It's average, not as eager as you." He changed his tone and said mockingly: "Unlike you, you can ignore your friends for the sake of your future."

Ding Chong: "No, I don't want to help. I just hope to find some gentle ways to deal with this problem. Also, you don't have that desire for university because your family is well-off and you can live well without struggling. But I don't Similarly, I have to work hard to change my life on my own, and the college entrance examination is very important to me."

Bai Ren: "There are many ways to make money without going to college. You may earn more than college students. You can still realize your ideal of changing your life. The desire to work hard in your mouth is just a reason to alienate us. Ding Chong, you have changed."

There are many ways to make money. Ding Chong has also experienced a rich life, but he is tired of that way of life. He just wants to find an ordinary job through studying and live an ordinary life. "I haven't changed, you have always been My good friend."

"Then don't make excuses, let's be together tonight."

Bai Ren's attitude is very obvious. If Ding Chong doesn't go, their friendship will come to an end. Ding Chong, a friend of more than ten years, is reluctant to break up like this, so he agrees.

In the evening after school, five people went to the Xilin River and sat around under a tree to discuss the matter.

Li Jingwei: "The few of us will definitely not be able to beat Chi Rui's group, let's ask Wang Renzhong for help, let Wang Renzhong help us find some powerful thugs, beat Chi Rui to the ground, and dare not bully the Lingling family again. "

Zhang Chengbin: "Chi Rui dares to go door-to-door to collect protection money, there must be a big brother behind him, even if Wang Renzhong is behind it, he would not dare to deal with it."

Li Jingwei: "Pull it down, there is no one in our area that Wang Renzhong is afraid of."

Chen Ling didn't believe their words, she looked up at Ding Chong, her eyes were asking for Ding Chong's opinion.

Ding Chong said: "Beating Chi Rui won't do Wang Renzhong any good, and we can't provide Wang Renzhong with benefits. I'm afraid he won't help. Offending Chi Rui for a group of children, Wang Zhongren may not agree."

Li Jingwei said dissatisfied: "Third brother, can you not think of people so utilitarianly? Brother Renzhong is usually the best to you, but you don't believe him."

Li Jingwei will definitely be the first one in a fight. He is very loyal to his friends, but his brain is too bright. Chen Ling will only look for him for some things that need brute force to solve. He seldom listened, Ding Chong was the smartest, followed by Bai Jian, Chen Ling still believed what they said in terms of some strategies.

When it comes to benefits, Chen Ling thinks of Wang Renzhong's perverted eyes. Every time they meet, she touches her. Chen Ling is so annoyed that she tries to avoid him as far as possible. The only benefit she can give Wang Renzhong is herself, but she Don't want to give yourself.

Besides asking Wang Renzhong for help, what else can I do?Recalling that Bai Ren said a few days ago that he needed someone to check Chi Rui's family situation, "Ah Ren, did you find someone to check Chi Rui's family situation?"

Bai Ren: "Chi Rui has a daughter, don't look at him being tough and unreasonable to outsiders, he dotes on his daughter like a baby, her daughter is Chi Xinrui, and she is currently selling cosmetics in a department store."

There are many ways to deal with female Chen Ling. Hearing what Bai Ren said, his dim eyes lit up instantly, "How old is Chi Xinrui this year?"

"eighteen."

Chen Ling smiled triumphantly: "We'll start with Chi Xinrui. If he makes things difficult for my parents, we'll torture his daughter."

"Chi Xinrui is not a female student who has never seen the world. It is not easy to deal with her. What do you think?" Bai Ren asked.

To deal with Fang Yuanyuan can be intimidating, but to deal with Chi Xinrui who has social experience, good social skills, and his father has a background, intimidation will naturally not work.Love has been the saddest since ancient times. If one of them can fall in love with Chi Xinrui, things will be easier. After the deal is settled, let Chi Xinrui go home and tell his father that Chi Rui will definitely not embarrass his daughter for such a small matter. If it's broken, just get rid of Chi Xinrui and let her suffer a painful emotional injury.

The person sent to seduce Chi Xinrui is very important. They must not only have the characteristics of attracting women, but also have a calm mind to ensure that during the seduction process, they will not fall in love with Chi Xinrui in a fake show. Chen Ling looked at the four in front of him. For a boy, first rule out the two reckless factions Li Jingwei and Zhang Chengbin, leaving Bairen and Ding Chong. Bairen's family background is the most suitable, and Ding Chong's appearance is the most suitable. There is no shortage of money, money is definitely not as attractive to Chi Xinrui as masculine charm, so Ding Chong is the most suitable candidate.

After she said this idea, everyone agreed very much, only Ding Chong remained silent.

"Third brother, can you express your opinion?" Chen Ling lacked confidence and was eager to know Ding Chong's thoughts.

Silence is already expressing his position. The person who bullied Chen Ling's parents and did bad things is Chi Rui, and Chi Xinrui is innocent. If he seduces and deceives Chi Xinrui to fall in love with him, and then ruthlessly throws him off, Ding Chong can't do it, and he will feel bad on his conscience. Besides, it takes a lot of energy and time to seduce a girl, and he doesn't have time for these things.

Chen Ling sticks to Ding Chong as always, and leaves resolutely after being rejected. Her usual liking for Ding Chong vanished in an instant, and she changed her seat and sat next to Bai Ren.

The crowd gathered around to coax Chen Ling, Ding Chong was alone in the original place, he looked towards the Xilin River, the fierce flood receded, and the Xilin River returned to its usual steady flow, he remembered that on the day of the heavy rain, Leng Jiucheng jumped into the river regardless of his own danger The bravery when saving people cannot be as brave as Leng Jiucheng, but also to be a kind and plain ordinary person. He doesn't want to do things that hurt others, and he doesn't bother to do them. If his friends can't understand this, he can't do anything about it. Can only let nature take its course, Ding Chong got up and left the river, returned home and continued to study the questions.

Leng Jiucheng woke up and found himself in Ding Chong's room. He rubbed his bleary eyes, endured a headache, and recalled what happened last night. He drank happily while having dinner at his parents' house. After drinking, he went home to sleep and found Ding Chong in the room. At home, Ling Chong went to bed and slept together, and then he kissed Ding Chong. Thinking of this, Leng Jiucheng's sleepy eyes widened suddenly.

He kissed Ding Chong!

And kiss more than once!

If it wasn't for Ding Chong to bite him back, I don't know what bastard thing he would have done, this wine is really harmful.

How can you go to your relatives' house?

This question leads to another question, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, he didn't go to kiss Ding Chong suddenly, this kind of thought was born early, but was restrained by reason.

It is impossible for him and Ding Chong to become lovers regardless of their age, gender or past events. These problems are like a huge rock, suppressing the desire in the bottom of their hearts. After drinking and relaxing, the stone is broken, and the desire is released.

No matter what, I have to apologize to Ding Chong for this matter.

Leng Jiucheng came out of the gate of Ding Chong's house, and saw Li Xun turning around in a hurry at the door of his house. If he found his home, there must be something serious, so he quickly put away his little thoughts, and went to ask Li Xun what happened.

Li Xun: "A corpse of a woman in a red skirt appeared by the west bank of the river this morning. Last time, few people knew about it in the depths of the alley. This time by the river, many old and aunts who were doing morning exercises all saw it."

Leng Jiucheng and Li Xun rushed to the Xilin River. The scene of the crime was the same as that of Zhao Lanxiang. There was no bloody scene, and there was no blood around. The deceased was wearing a red dress, lying on his back, with a seal on his calf: Hao Mei, 02

The body was carried away, and Leng Jiucheng stood by the river silently lighting a cigarette. The speed of the murderer's crime was far faster than their speed of investigation. Not many people knew of Zhao Lanxiang's death so far, but the public places at the scene of the crime, There were many people who saw the corpse, and when the news spread, it would inevitably cause women to panic, and the incident would become serious, and the murderer would go to the county towns and villages below to commit crimes, and it would be even more difficult to catch.

How to check?Leng Jiucheng racked his brains and couldn't come up with a good detection method, but now there are two victims, and if he knows the situation of the two victims in detail, he may be able to find similarities.

In the afternoon, Leng Jiucheng and Li Xun went to visit Hao Mei's home. Hao Mei is 23 years old. She has been married for less than a year and has no children. She is currently working as a female worker in a shoe factory. Her husband is a primary school teacher. Mei recently worked overtime every day and came home very late. She usually came back with her co-workers. Yesterday, the co-workers asked for leave and didn’t go. Her husband wanted to pick her up. Hao Mei didn’t want to bother her husband, so she refused. She never thought that she would be killed on the way home.

Leng Jiucheng and Li Xun stayed at Hao Mei's house for several hours, and it was already dark when they came out. Hao Mei and Zhao Lanxiang had no obvious similarities in age, family, work, and social aspects. Drink a basin of cold water.

Now it can be determined that the murderer committed the crime randomly and there is no pattern to follow. This situation is more difficult to detect than a premeditated serial murder case.

Li Xun and Leng Jiucheng were both frowning. When they met a restaurant, Li Xun stopped and said, "Let's go and have a meal. The case is important and your health is also important."

Leng Jiucheng was really hungry after he hadn't eaten all day, so he followed Li Xun into a restaurant, only to find that it was a high-end restaurant, the two of them found a place to sit down and finished ordering, while waiting for the food to be served, Leng Jiucheng accidentally caught a glimpse of There was a man and a woman sitting at the table, the boy was Bai Ren, he had never seen the girl, why didn't Bai Ren go to school?Falling in love at a young age?He suddenly thought of Ding Chong, seventeen or eighteen years old was the age when love first started, did Ding Chong fall in love?Will you be angry about what happened last night?

Work and life were mixed together. Leng Jiucheng was in a mess. He raised his eyes and looked out of the window. At this moment, he found a table of familiar faces sitting by the window. They were Li Jingwei, Chen Ling and Zhang Chengbin. The three of them seemed to be eating, their eyes But from time to time, he glanced at Bai Jian's table, and then lowered his head and whispered.

Need a friend to accompany you in a relationship?Why didn't Ding Chong come?Although Chen Ling has not completely turned bad now, it is recorded in the file that Chen Ling murdered for the first time in December 1990. Now it is August, and there are still four months left. Leng Jiucheng was feeling uneasy and whispered to Li Xun. Said: "Go to the bar to get a bottle of soda, walk around to the window, walk slowly, and listen to what the three children at the table by the window are talking about?"

Li Xun quickly came back with a soda, "They were very quiet, as if they were discussing something in secret. I didn't hear much. What did they say that Chi Xinrui took the bait...A Ren...that's awesome..."

Leng Jiucheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Chi Xinrui was the one Chen Ling killed in December 1990.
