No such person [criminal investigation]

Interrogation room.

Huang Dashan, with his messy hair, was sitting on a chair. When Qi Zang arrived, he was muttering dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by leaving me here to dry?"

"I didn't kill people! How did I know that the back door of the villa was not closed! If I knew, I would have rushed in and killed people!"

"I know they are broadcasting live, there must be many people in the villa! How dare I do it!"

"Cui Junjie, who harmed the little girl, is dead. If you want me to say, I am very happy! He died well! But damn it, it has nothing to do with me!!"

……

"Okay. Be quiet." Qi Zang slapped the table with a stern tone.

"Let me go!"

"If you cooperate well, of course we will let you go. If you don't cooperate with us to explain the matter clearly, we can only regard you as the biggest suspect."

"I did piss, so I want to be fined! I didn't kill anyone! I've said all the fucking things I should say, how can I cooperate?!"

Qi Zang stared into his eyes and asked in an unavoidable tone: "How did you know that Cui Junjie works in Huating Villa?"

"I……"

"I asked your company, you just applied for transfer to that area two weeks ago, right? You have admitted that you went there for Cui Junjie. So how do you know where he is?"

"Someone told me!"

"Who?"

"I don't know either! Anyway, it's a woman!"

Sure enough, there is a play.

Qi Zang's expression turned cold, and he slapped the table again. "How did this woman tell you? The time, place, and passage, all clearly explained!"

According to Huang Dashan's account, he has been trying every means to find Cui Junjie to make trouble, but there has been no result.

In order to engage with Cui Junjie, he even had to go to his live broadcast room to recharge money, get a sign, and join the fan base, just to wait for an opportunity to meet offline.

About a month ago, he finally waited for such an opportunity.He couldn't kill in public, so he could only choose to humiliate Cui Junjie in public.

However, when he rushed onto the stage carrying a bucket of paint, he was stopped by a few brave fans without even touching the hem of Cui Junjie's clothes.

Later, someone called the police, and Huang Dashan was taken to the police station.

He was sentenced to administrative detention because he had repeatedly caused disturbances.But someone didn't know who stuffed a piece of paper into his pocket. It was a phone number.

There is also a line of words attached to the note - "I know what you want to do, I can help you."

Ten days later, when he came out of the detention center, Huang Dashan made this call.

There was a woman on the phone who asked him to meet at a certain place.

After seeing him, the woman gave him the specific address of Huating Villa, and in order to convince him, she also gave him a photo of Cui Junjie walking out of the gate.

"That's it! I've said everything I need to say! I really didn't lie a single word!" Huang Dashan said.

Qi Zang asked him: "What is the phone number that woman left for you, do you have any impression?"

"I don't have any impression. I threw the note away after typing it, and didn't contact her again. Officer, I want to have that photographic memory. I have been admitted to college and made a fortune. Can I do this?"

Qi Zang showed him the number that he ordered takeaway from this time. "Look carefully, and remember carefully, is it possible that these two numbers are the same?"

"Hiss...it's also possible. Let me tell you, why did I feel so familiar when I saw this number for the first time...So, police officer, is that woman the murderer?" Huang Dashan also reacted "Could it be that I was blamed by her?! Damn, she is so vicious!"

Qi Zang just asked him: "What does that girl look like, do you remember?"

Huang Dashan scratched his head: "It's pretty ugly anyway..."

"Let you describe her in detail, can you still describe it?"

"I, I... I'll try. I don't know either."

Qi Zang: "Don't be impatient, please stay a little longer. If there is a murderer other than you, it will only be good for you to find him. I will find a portrait artist. He will bring you memories, you Cooperate with him and draw the woman's appearance. This is helping our police, and it is also helping yourself."

After a while, Shan Kang accompanied the portrait artist, guarding Huang Dashan to paint the portrait of the woman.

Qi Zang temporarily waited in the observation room next to him.

Li Zhengzheng has been staying here to observe and study. He naturally heard what Qi Zang and Huang Dashan said just now. At this moment, he couldn't help but say: "It's weird...it's really weird..."

On the side, Wei Fan asked him: "What's so strange?"

Li Zhengzheng said: "The woman in the Huangda Mountain Pass...why do you need to do so much? She has done too many unnecessary things!"

Soon Wei Fan also reacted. "That's right, she should have taken advantage of the chaos at the fan meeting and stuffed the note into Huang Dashan's pocket... Why did she bother to write the phone call on the note? Why didn't she just write about Cui Junjie's work the address of?"

Li Zhengzheng nodded: "That's the reason. Otherwise, when Huang Dashan called her, she could also tell Huang Dashan the address of Huating Villa through the phone... Why did she insist on meeting him? This is not to show her appearance Do you pass the clues to the outside?"

Li Zhengzheng and Wei Fan did not discuss the results, and finally they all turned their attention to Qi Zang.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Qi Zang's facial features are tough, his outline is deep, and the light and shade of the light shine together, like a sculpture.

With such a face, he looked at the situation in the interrogation room quite seriously for a while, and he answered: "The first reason is that she might want to have a chat with Huang Dashan in person to learn more about his character and confirm that he is indeed There is great determination to deal with Cui Junjie. Maybe it was through that communication that she clearly knew that he could go to that area to work as a deliveryman.

"As for the second reason—"

At this point, Qi Zang temporarily stopped talking.

In the interrogation room next door, the portraitist had already painted the man.

Qi Zang immediately asked him to bring the painting through the headset.

So after a while, everyone saw the woman's face clearly on a piece of paper through the brushwork of the portrait artist - it was Qin Chunlan.

Qi Zang saw no surprise in his eyes.

With a deep voice, he said: "This is the second reason. She is provoking and teasing the police."

His pupils shrank slightly, and Qi Zang looked at the painting that the portrait artist held up, as if he saw a very cunning female criminal through it.

Through the painting, she looks at herself with a contemptuous, wanton smile, and says mockingly, "Yes, I expected all of this. You want to find me through the delivery man, but now what? You What I found was another dead end... Comrade policeman, is this game any fun?"

"What do you mean? I'll go..." Li Zhengzheng was really puzzled by the portrait, and frowned. He thought about it for a while, and thought of something, and said immediately, "The woman Huang Dashan saw It's Qin Chunlan...

"Could it be that Qin Chunlan really wanted to kill Cui Junjie? It's just that she didn't dare to do it herself, so she found Huang Dashan and wanted him to kill Cui? Then who killed Cui this time?

"Wait, boss... You said just now that the murderer wanted to tease the police? Then you mean... the woman Huang Dashan met was not Qin Chunlan? Then, then..."

Qi Zang didn't answer. Many possibilities ran through his mind, and finally he fixed on a certain moment.

After a while, he only said: "The staff of Fengsheng Entertainment, the makeup artist, the director and screenwriter who arranged the live broadcast, including their boss, and the real planner of this event, have all been contacted? Call them all!

"This is the focus of work this afternoon and evening. Be sure to let them explain all the planning details, what they were doing on the night of the crime, and whether they have an alibi!"

At present, the suspects are very serious. Apart from Shang Boran who was in the live broadcast with Qin Chunlan, they are the staff related to the live broadcast.

If the murderer wants to kill accurately in the dark, he must be very familiar with the live broadcast.This can be inferred from the murder scene.

After interrogating Huang Dashan, it can be reasonably speculated that the murderer may have planned all this long ago.He had already conceived everything, so he could arrange Huang Dashan as his target two weeks ago.

Thinking from this perspective, this person may even have participated in the planning of the subject of this live broadcast.It is possible that the initiation of the live broadcast of "Punish the Scumbag" is directly related to him.

For this reason, today's inquiries to staff are very important.

Qi Zang was stationed in the observation room and never missed every questioning.

Busy work lasted until 9pm.

Qi Zang, who didn't even bother to eat dinner, suddenly received a message from Xu Ci. [What time do you leave work?Let's meet and discuss something important with you.Go to your home? ]

Qi Zang quickly gave Xu Ci the address of his home, and typed a reply: [You go directly to my house and wait for me.You need to register at the gate of the community, just say you are my friend.The password to open the door is 6 digits. Remember the birthday of my classmate I mentioned last time? ]

After a while, Xu Ci replied: [remember]

"Remember", such a simple word made Qi Zang laugh.

He usually has a playful smile with Rong Yong, and he can joke with his subordinates when he is not working.But since this afternoon, he has been busy with the interrogation work. During this process, his face is always cold and expressionless, and his facial features are almost frozen.

But Xu Ci's simple reply made him fail.

Through these two words, Qi Zang seems to be able to see a picture——

He returned home after a busy day. Xu Ci, who was reading a book, raised his head beside the warm lamp, smiled at him, and said softly, "You are back."

It feels so good to have someone waiting for you to go home.

Even if this incident hasn't happened yet, Qi Zang's brain is enough to warm his heart.

Xu Ci's two-character text message gave Qi Zang a moment of respite from the exhausting and busy work.With a smile in his eyes, he typed a long string of words back: [I'm not sure when I'll be back. If you're tired, go to bed first. I have a guest room, but I might trouble you to tidy it up yourself. In the closet, look through it yourself]

Xu Ci: [OK]

·

At 9:[-] in the evening, Xu Ci came to Qi Zang's apartment.

The hallway of the high-end hotel-style apartment is carpeted, elegant decorative paintings are hung on the wall, and flower baskets are hung. There is a silver queen with big pink leaves hanging in it. A little warmth related to "home".

When Xu Ci walked to the correct house number, he didn't go in immediately, but stopped and paused for a while.

The light in the corridor is dim and warm, which outlines Xu Ci's cold and hard facial features a little softly.When he looked at Qi Zang's house, his expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Xu Ci picked up his mobile phone, texted Qi Zang [I'm here], entered the password, and walked in the door.

Xu Ci was shocked as soon as he entered the door. The floor was silver and the walls were golden. He seemed to have walked into the pansi cave where the goblin lived. Of course the goblin was wearing the kind of dress in the old version of Journey to the West, shiny and crystal. Bright, very dazzling.

But this is not Pansi Cave after all - there is a huge pictorial poster of the God of Wealth pasted on the place facing the door, the fiery red color complements the gold and silver around it, and it is full of festive feeling.

So Xu Ci suddenly felt that he had come to the Spring Festival Gala, as if the familiar and festive BGM sounded the next moment.

The phone vibrated, and Qi Zang sent another message: [There are clean slippers in the shoe cabinet for you to change into. You can sit casually after entering the house. You’re welcome. There should be drinks in the refrigerator if you don’t have one.

Xu Ci: [OK]

After a long while, Qi Zang sent another message: [Snacks may be gone. What do you want to eat, just order takeaway. In my house, you don’t have to pay so much attention. If you don’t like takeout, you can also make it yourself. Or there is actually a good western restaurant on the first floor, which is quite high-end ]

Xu Ci: [You can work with peace of mind, don't worry about me, I'll talk about the rest when you come back]

Qi Zang laughed again.

——He ignored the other words in this sentence, and forcibly summarized the central idea into the four words "waiting for your return".

Xu Ci said "waiting for your return".

I said it myself.

·

It was already 1:[-] in the morning when Qi Zang returned home.

Thinking that Xu Ci was at his house, his exhausted body suddenly became relaxed again.

Guessing that Xu Ci must have fallen asleep, he entered the password lightly, opened the door, and saw a warm light coming from the direction of the living room.

Some people turned on the lights and waited for themselves at home.

It was truly a special and heartwarming experience.

It is many times more heartwarming than before.

After changing his shoes, Qi Zang walked as lightly as possible to the living room.The situation turned out to be similar to what he had imagined, except that Xu Ci was not reading a book, but was looking at the computer, and fell asleep while watching it.

He was sitting on the carpet with his back against the sofa, and his notebook was on the coffee table. He was probably sleepy. After Qi Zang slowly focused, then...

Then he said the most beautiful words in Qi Zang's brain supplement——

"You're back."

Qi Zang was almost stunned.

Xu Ciqian yawned, stood up, and glanced at him. "Staying overtime?"

Qi Zang came back to his senses, fixedly looked at Xu Ci, and then replied seriously and with a sense of ceremony: "Yes, I'm back."

Xu Ci: "...?"

"Cough, what... what do you want me for?" Qi Zang asked Xu Ci.

Xu Ci asked him back, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate some instant noodles—"

"Then come to the restaurant, I made dinner."

"Is it too much trouble for you?"

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with waiting. As you said, I can use whatever I want."

"Yes, yes, of course you can use it casually."

"Well, then come here. Talk while eating. Don't eat too greasy in the middle of the night. I make very light seafood porridge."

The apartment Qi Zang bought was considered a single apartment, with a small overall area and a small restaurant.

Now that he and Xu Ci are sitting opposite each other in the small restaurant, it looks even more warm.

After eating half a bowl of porridge, Qi Zang asked Xu Ci, "So you came..."

Xu resigned from the living room, carried his notebook over, and pushed it in front of Qi Zang.

"This is?"

"I asked a friend to make a small program. Did you measure the angle of the knife on Cui Junjie's body?"

"Yes, Gong Nianci and the others are trying to calculate—"

"Let them forget about it. Input the angle into this small program, and the murderer's height will come out." Xu Ci asked him, "So what is the angle?"

Qi Zang reported a number, and after Xu Ci entered it, the small program quickly gave a conclusion——

The murderer is between 1.67 and 1.72 in height.

Seeing Qi Zang's expression, Xu Ci closed the computer and asked him, "What's your expression?"

Qi Zang was very honest: "Someone came to my house, cooked for me, and helped me calculate the murderer's height... even stronger than the conch girl."

Xu Ci frowned rather displeased. "What metaphor is this?"

Qi Zang: "Then...conch boy?"

Xu Ci: "..."

Bending his index finger, he tapped on the table in front of Qi Zang. "Is it convenient to tell me about the progress? Help people to the end, and I will analyze the case for you."

Hearing this, Qi Zang put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Ci with a serious expression, but his eyes were very affectionate. "Mr. Xie, I have to tell you one thing first."

Xu Ci: "Say it."

Qi Zang: "If you continue like this... I have to be sentimental."

Hearing such a sentence unexpectedly, Xu Ci was almost taken aback. "...W-what?"

Qi Zang pointed to his computer and then to the nutritious seafood porridge on the table. "Come to my house in the middle of the night, cook for me, and actively help me solve the case... If you don't give me a special reason, I will think that you are helping me share the burden, because I am afraid that I will work too hard.

"Of course, I think normal people will think so when they encounter me in this situation, so it seems that I can't be regarded as being affectionate?"

Xu Ci: "..."

Qi Zang smiled: "Unless you give me a good reason to explain all this."

Xu Ci: "..."

Looking deeply into Xu Ci's eyes, Qi Zang asked: "If you can't give a reason, then you just care about me and me, don't you?"
