Xiao Su didn't expect Rongzhen to have thought of a plan to find the victim overnight, and asked quickly, "How to find it?"

Rong Zheng explained: "DNA showed that the deceased was about 70 years old, and the confession of the Roche brothers also mentioned that when they found the deceased on the sofa bed, he had loose skin, no teeth, and many spots on his face-this is all That’s what happens to old people.”

Xiao Su nodded silently.Rong Zheng went on to say: "The elderly are generally not very healthy. There are always various diseases, especially chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. These diseases require long-term medication. By checking the drug residues in the internal organs , the pathological characteristics of the deceased can be inferred. If he is lucky, he suffers from certain intractable diseases and has used some rare drugs, and he may soon be able to find the prescription through the source of the drug, and then find out the identity."

Sun Zhisheng patted the table and praised: "This idea is very good, you should do it, it is right to ask you to come!"

Rongzhen twitched the corner of his mouth in a cold and arrogant way, and said, "You should have called me long ago. If you had called me and told me immediately after the crime happened, I would have saved one day from hearing my mother nagging in my ear."

"Auntie is also doing it for your own good." Sun Zhisheng was familiar with their family's situation, and sighed with special sympathy, "Mother's heart, in fact, my mother is the same, nagging all day long, just hoping someone You can quickly pick off my high-mountain flower!"

"..." The three of them looked at the leader without a word, and at the same time felt that this flattery was too difficult, so let's give up collectively.

After an embarrassing silence for half a minute, Rong Zheng let out a dry cough, and brought the topic back up again: "As for Jingchuan, is there any result from the police investigation?"

Rong Rui also coughed dryly, shook his head and said: "The relatives and friends generally report that the two brothers Luo Jianxin and Luo Jianhong are very honest and rarely have conflicts with others. The school also confirmed that they did not cause any serious problems at work. Enemies. So now, except for the fight over the inheritance 30 years ago, the two of them basically have no major conflicts with anyone."

"So there's no one to suspect?" Rong Zhen asked.

Rong Rui hummed.Sun Zhisheng said: "In view of the eight-digit date, the investigation period needs to be pushed back to more than 30 years ago, which is very difficult-after all, things have changed for so many years."

After more than 30 years of changes, the acquaintances and friends at the time did not know where they moved. If I really have to check them one by one, I am afraid that it will be a few months later.So the fastest shortcut is still to start with the remains of the corpse.

"Alright then, I'll go and see how the corpses are being collected first." Rong Zheng understood the situation, changed his clothes and went into the laboratory without saying anything.

Rongrui went through the evidence in the conference room, but he didn't know what he found, and told Sun Zhisheng that he would go to the scene again.

Xiao Su wanted to go with him, but he refused.Rong Rui said: "The digging over there is messy, there are sewage residues everywhere, the scene must be bloody, you'd better not go, lest you won't be able to eat dinner."

Xiao Su had no choice but to agree, and Sun Zhisheng wanted to go with Rong Rui. Before leaving, he said to him: "Rong Zhen's place of residence has not yet been decided. He is very rough and never likes to sleep with others. Teacher Xiao, please help him in the hotel." Book another room for him, preferably on the first floor with us, so it's easy to move around."

After the meeting, the two drove to the scene in the suburbs.Xiao Su booked a room for Rong Zhen on the mobile app, when suddenly the WeChat message jumped, showing that it was Wu Xingyu who left him a message: [Senior brother, brother, what did you do?I heard from your little uncle that you went to Longzhou? 】

Xiao Su replied: [Well, there is a little delay, and it will take about a day or two before I can go back. 】

Wu Xingyu said: [School starts soon, don't forget to come to work! 】

Xiao Su rolled his eyes and said: 【I'm not you!Just tell me, what do you want from me? 】

Wu Xingyu said: [Hey, senior brother is wise, save the world!My dormitory was flooded, and I don’t know who was the idiot upstairs. Before the holiday, I didn’t turn off the faucet of the washing machine. After holding it for a month, the outlet burst, and the water flowed all over the room, like a pond!The water leaked down the cracks in the floor. Now my dormitory can raise fish, and all the bedding and mattresses are finished! 】

so unlucky?Xiao Su lit a wax for him, and said: [Isn't it?How can I live then?Did the dormitory give you a new house? 】

Wu Xingyu sent a dog head and said: [Change your hair!How can there be a new house?Unless you squeeze a quadruple room with undergraduates!Oh my mother, you also know that our law firm has so many things to do, piles of documents, where can I put them in the space of the quadruple room, if I lose it, I will die! 】

Xiao Su understood, and said: 【Then you live with me? 】

Wu Xingyu made a shy face: [Is it convenient?I sent a WeChat message just to ask you, your little uncle is back, do you want to live in Biyue Lake all the time?How about lending me the LOFT for a few days?I will move back when the dormitory is cleaned up and painted. 】

Xiao Su said generously: [Okay, you can go to Xiao Ran directly, let her take you to move, and take your fingerprints by the way. 】

Wu Xingyu sent a kneeling kowtow emoji: [Thank you, brother! 】

Xiao Su said: [Can you, a doctor, have some morals?call me by name! 】

Wu Xingyu said obediently: 【Yes, brother! 】

Xiao Su laughed angrily: [Get out! 】

At the end of the conversation, the smile on Xiao Su's face hadn't disappeared, and a question suddenly occurred to him—it seemed that he had already lent the house to Sun Zhisheng?

It doesn't matter, right?Such a big house is more than enough for two people, didn't I live well with Rongrui before?

Xiao Su thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't go back on his word, so he had to call Wu Xingyu: "I forgot to tell you just now, Lao Sun is also living in LOFT recently, if you don't mind, just go with him, anyway, the house is big."

"Old grandson? Great sage?" Wu Xingyu was very happy when he heard that, "Okay! Last time I was framed by Zhang Chanjuan and the others, thanks to the help of the great sage and Xiao Ruirui, I will take good care of my savior, brother, don't worry Bar!"

Xiao Su had a big headache when he heard him called Senior Brother, and before he corrected it, he heard him say: "I won't say much, it's getting dark, I have to find Xiao Ran to clean up and move, and I have to work overtime for the law firm at night, so I sum up Information on old cases."

Xiao Su asked casually: "What old case? Why do they arrange miscellaneous things for you?"

"Hey, they said they assisted the police in investigating a murder case 32 years ago." Wu Xingyu said, "The case was handled by an old lawyer in our law firm. Now that he has retired, he can only throw it to me... Who told me to What about part-time work and part-study? Broke up one!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Su habitually counted the time in his head—32 years ago, wasn't that exactly 1997?

Police assisted investigation, old cases, homicide... 1997...

A flash of inspiration: It won't be related to the Luo brothers, right?

Rongrui and Sun Zhisheng didn't come back in the afternoon. Xiao Su waited until the county bureau got off work and went back to the hotel to rest. It wasn't until he went to bed that he heard Rongrui's voice faintly outside.

"Why is it so late?" Xiao Su got up and turned on the light, and Rong Rui turned it off for him casually, leaving only one bedside lamp: "Go to sleep, the scene is a bit chaotic, and it was delayed for a while."

Xiao Su touched the glasses and put them on, and saw a few snowflakes on his shoulders: "Is it snowing again?"

"Well, not too much." Standing beside the bed, Rong Rui took off his coat, warmed his right hand under his armpit, and touched his forehead, "What's for dinner?"

"Lunch box." Xiao Su was used to being touched by him, and let him touch his arms, "What about you? Are you hungry now? Do you want to have a midnight snack?"

"No, I've eaten." Rong Rui took off his glasses for him and put them on the bedside table, "I don't have a fever, go to sleep, I'll take a shower."

Xiao Su lay back and asked him, "Is there anything new at the scene?"

"The municipal government has dug up the ground, it's a mess, and it has to be restored, which is very troublesome." Rong Rui said while taking off his clothes, "Brother, why are you more dedicated than Lao Sun? Let me report to work as soon as I come back."

Xiao Su smiled: "I've been infected by you... What did you find?"

Rong Rui went into the bathroom wearing a vest and shorts: "The Luo Brothers may not have lied, the murderer is someone else."

"Ah?" Xiao Su asked in surprise, "Why?"

"The reason is very complicated. Let's talk about it at the scene tomorrow morning. There are still some inspections to be done again, and we have to wait for the results." Rong Rui turned on the shower and started to take a bath.

Xiao Su thought of Wu Xingyu, got up and chased to the bathroom door, and asked, "By the way, did the task force entrust Wu Xingyu's law firm to assist in the investigation of this case?"

"Huh? So it's their law firm?" Rong Rui replied through the shower curtain, "Didn't the special case team send a team to Jingchuan to investigate the social relations of the Luo brothers? It turned out that Luo Cai died 32 years ago. It involves a murder case, so now we are reviewing the files and materials involved in the case."

Xiao Su was very surprised: "Luo Cai? Homicide? Did he die violently?"

"Well, I heard that because of a vicious fight, Luo Cai was stabbed twice and died on the spot." Rong Rui said, "Wu Xingyu's law firm should have undertaken the defense of the defendant at that time, so they need to submit some materials."

Xiao Su couldn't help but ask, "Who is the murderer? Could this case be the other party's revenge?"

"A gangster in the country was shot more than [-] years ago... Let's talk about it after they sort out the materials." Rong Rui suddenly lifted the shower curtain, "Brother, you can't finish, why don't you let me take a bath?" ?”

Xiao Su didn't wear glasses, and vaguely saw that he was half naked, and hurriedly withdrew: "You! Speak well! Splash water on my face!"

Rong Rui gritted his teeth, pulled the shower curtain and continued to take a bath: "Go to sleep, what time is it, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

Xiao Su wiped his face and lay back on the bed. For some reason, he tossed and turned his back with water droplets in his mind. His healthy skin was covered with strong muscles, and his lines were smooth, just like an oil painting.

He was about to die... Xiao Su pulled the quilt to cover his head, tried his best to count seventy or eighty sheep, and then slowly fell asleep amid the sound of rustling water.

In the dream, he vaguely returned to his childhood, when he was in his teens. He had just woken up from a nap, and was bouncing down the stairs when he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in the living room.

He tiptoed to the turning of the stairs and hid behind a huge dripping water Guanyin. He saw his mother Fang Huici standing by the tea table with her willow eyebrows upside down and a hostile expression on her face: "Fang Huize, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?" What are you doing?!"

Fang Huize sat on the sofa, with his back to the stairs, his voice was hoarse, "I, I know..."

"You know shit!" Fang Huici interrupted him angrily, "If you knew, you wouldn't listen to that woman's mercy! Fang Huize, you are ruining yourself!"

Fang Huize sighed, buried her face in her palms, her thin body curled up on her knees, and choked, "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know why... I seem to be possessed by a demon."

"You just fell under her spell!" Fang Huici's eyes were red, and she raised her hand to hit him, but she couldn't do it. After a while, she shook her head helplessly and said, "Listen to me, from now on Don't see her again, don't talk to her, otherwise... I have plenty of ways to make her disappear forever!"

Fang Huize's back froze for a moment, and she raised her head slightly.Fang Huici looked straight into his eyes, her eyes were fierce and almost murderous, and her voice was even colder than ice: "Ah Ze, you know my temper, I am cruel and black, and I keep my word!"

Fang Huize shook slightly, barely nodded.

"From today on, stay at home and don't go out. Before school starts, reflect on it!" Fang Huici said coldly, picked up a box on the coffee table, turned and left.

The sound of a car leaving outside the door, Fang Huize sat on the sofa, motionless like a clay sculpture.

Xiao Su tiptoed down, calling in a low voice, "Ah Ze? What are you doing?"

Fang Huize was taken aback, and slowly raised her head, her face full of tears.Xiao Su pulled a tissue and handed it to him: "Why is my mother scolding you? Did you make her angry?"

Fang Huize wiped his face and pushed him: "Go away! Children don't care about big people's affairs!"

Xiao Su staggered and fell to the ground, bumped his elbow on the foot of the sofa, grinned and said, "What kind of adult are you? What did you do to make my mother so angry?"

Fang Huize glared at him, sniffed, and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Go away, go play with your Lego, I want to be quiet."

"Who is Jingjing?" Xiao Su didn't remember whether to eat or not, sticking to him, tugging at his ear with a playful smile, "I see, have you fallen in love early? My mother disagrees and told you to leave that woman ?”

Fang Huize opened his mouth, then frowned and pushed him away: "None of your business! Who told you to eavesdrop on us..." Suddenly his eyes changed, and he grabbed his collar, "When did you start eavesdropping? You What did you hear?"

His hand was so strong that Xiao Su was almost suffocated. He held his hand and said, "Loosen, let go... I just, just got down, I heard her, she said that you were manipulated by that woman... let you leave her ...You, you let go!"

Fang Huize's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at him suspiciously for five seconds before slowly letting him go: "Really?"

Xiao Su held his collar, still in shock: "Really, really, why did I lie to you... What's wrong with you?"

"...No, it's nothing." Fang Huize looked at the pink strangle marks on his neck, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, pulled him over and rubbed him gently, and said, "I'm sorry, A Su, I didn't mean it, just now Missed."

With lingering fears in his heart, Xiao Su backed away a bit: "Who are you talking about? Are you a girl in your class? Tao Dayan or Guo Feifei?"

Fang Huize's eyes were complicated, and he looked away for a while, and said: "No, you don't know a girl from another school...don't mention this to my sister, don't let her know that you eavesdropped on our conversation, understand?"

Xiao Su knew how powerful his mother was, so he nodded obediently.

Fang Huize rubbed his head as usual, crumpled his short hair into a chicken coop, got up and left: "I'm tired, go to sleep."

Xiao Su let out an "oh", then smoothed the hair on his head silly, and watched him go upstairs.

The cicadas were singing outside the window, and the golden sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating his slender back, the higher he walked, the wider and taller his back, gradually becoming an adult.

Xiao Su blinked, and suddenly woke up, seeing the dim skylight coming in through the gaps in the dark brown curtains, he was dizzy for a long time before realizing that he was dreaming just now.

The dream was real and clear, bringing back dusty memories. Xiao Su slowly remembered that it should have been a certain summer vacation more than ten years ago. He was about ten years old and had just entered the fifth grade of elementary school. Fang Huize was in the third grade of junior high school. , Provoked his mother into a rage, and he was not allowed to go out for a whole summer vacation.

Fang Huize said it was because of puppy love, and he didn't think much about it at the time. Today, he suddenly dreamed about the scene at that time again, only to realize that there were many violations——Mother's tone seemed a little too harsh.

No, not only harshly, but also with some anger and fear.

That's not the emotion a parent should feel when they discover their child's puppy love.

What Fang Huize committed should be much more serious than puppy love.

What could it be?

Xiao Su closed his eyes and thought, but the clear and specific details in the dream gradually blurred and disappeared, like dew falling in the desert, quickly evaporated without leaving any traces.

Suddenly, a picture flashed through his mind, and Xiao Su suddenly opened his eyes——wasn't the box that his mother took away before he left, the boxwood box he had been looking for all along?

So, she took it away that summer?

Where did you take it?What exactly is inside?

Xiao Su thought hard, and always felt that there was something conflicting in his memory - the summer when he was ten years old, his mother obviously took away the wooden box, but when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he clearly saw it at home!

That's right, Fang Huize had already studied abroad at that time, and his father had just fallen ill.

So, what is the problem?
