when the moon whispers

Six accomplices in the case
Eight transfers
Nanyang Road, an inconspicuous two-way lane, was blocked for nearly two hours.

Most of the conference forums in Shengbei Building are related to the implementation of investment in regional industries. The leaders pay close attention to it. Not to mention the police arrangements in several streets, even the road traffic dispatch is prioritized and coordinated to ensure smooth flow during the evening rush hour around the building. The vehicles that were diverted from the main road all rushed towards Nanyang Road, a narrow road that was mainly used to take shortcuts to avoid signals. It was difficult to clear the congestion with people and vehicles, and the pushing and shoving became more and more chaotic.

The stagnation accumulated in Gu Xing's stomach has not dissipated at all. He held a cigarette and swung it downstairs before he could light it. He looked around at the lively crowd outside and heard "bang", "bang", Three cars rear-ended with a bang, one on the left fighting for the right and one on the right refusing to give way, crossing the source of the traffic jam that was already moving slowly. Gu Xing stretched his neck and took a quick look, looking at the two cars in the middle of another round of noise. The little traffic policeman, who was sweating from worry, yelled at the top of his lungs and told the three ancestors to move the car first. He wiped the flames with the lighter a few times, patted his trouser legs and rubbed his hands. , put the cigarette in his ears, and took a step towards the noisy center of the dispute.

When the support and coordination arrived, Gu Xing walked back to the door of the crime scene dizzy and covered in smoke from the crowd. Chen Rui, who was in charge of visiting and asking about the surrounding situation at the police station, also happened to be holding his paper in his hand. A small notebook with a chipped corner, carrying two small vegetable seedlings that were still disgusting, stood solemnly in front of Gu Xing, who turned around to meet him, and saluted with a serious look and nodded.

Chen Rui was already in his late forties, and he was very senior. His hair was thinning due to the torture in criminal investigation in the early years, and his temples had turned gray in the past two years at the police station. He wore reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and was serious, staring at Gu Xing's expression. After looking at the complicated and depressed face for a few seconds, he finally picked up the hand that Captain Gu had persistently handed to his arm, and shook it heavily.

The two young vegetables standing on the steps of the stairs looked at the obvious connection in front of them. They raised their eyebrows and looked at Jiang Mo who had been standing beside Gu Xing for a long time and seemed to have some friendship with Chen Rui. , both of them were stunned for a long time, and hurriedly followed Chen Rui who was stepping forward, nudged forward, crowded around her left and right, and asked curiously: "Senior sister, what is this? Condition?"

Jiang Mo didn't answer him first, but glanced hesitantly at Zhou You, who seemed to have never heard from her master about the reason for being transferred to the police station. After thinking for a while, he whispered concisely: "Master investigated the excavation of severed hands three years ago. Police officer Chen was also involved in the case."

The two serial serious cases that were initially investigated in parallel were so difficult to move forward.

At that time, Jiang Mo was still working as an intern at the police station to arrange food, rice, oil and salt. At first, he could only roughly get a glimpse of the doubts and difficulties from the internally disclosed files. The police officers in charge of the investigation only rarely needed the police station's assistance. It passed by in front of my eyes.

It wasn't until Wei Qisheng was in chaos in the Red Mansions case and Jiang Mo was repeatedly questioned and examined as a witness and patrol partner that he had several slightly formal interviews with Chen Rui at the door of the inspector's office.

The nature of the heart-hunting case was so bad that it had far-reaching consequences. At that time, Chen Rui and Gu Xing divided their duties and were mainly responsible for following up on this serial murder case. He originally hoped to take this opportunity to overpower the slightly younger Gu Xingtou by virtue of his seniority. Solving this major criminal case and striving for promotion to the police took a back seat.

However, the investigation directions of the two always conflict with each other, and compromise is difficult. Gu Xing believes that the selection of the victim is not random, but Chen Rui insists that the situation is urgent and only by casting a net and squatting can we solve the current directionless situation as soon as possible. In the office, the pros and cons of the situation were evaluated, and the final decision was made first to ensure that there would be no more victims. On the surface, he resolutely obeyed the orders, but secretly, he was unwilling to control the social relationship between the victims, and he was distracted and slipped away. Being caught by Chen Rui, Gu Xing felt a little unreasonable because he had gained nothing, so he could only sit quietly next to Chen Rui. However, unexpectedly, on that night of heavy snowstorms, he missed Gu Ying's last helpless speech. Help the desperate cry.

After that, the heart-breaking case was shelved, and there was no trace of the Red Mansions case. Chen Rui took the initiative to take on the responsibility of leading Gu Xing because of his decision-making mistakes. After accepting the investigation, he submitted an application for transfer, citing the elderly parents at home. When I arrived at the Nanyang Road Police Station near my parents' residence, I stayed on the streets conscientiously for three years.This unsolved case remained stuck in the festering flesh and blood for three years.

"The two girls have been renting together here for almost half a year. We once visited the street to do an investigation. Our office will sort out the identity information and send it to you later. These two girls are residents of this old community. It's relatively conspicuous inside, and the neighbors around them see the two young girls living their own lives, and they all help them from time to time."

Chen Rui picked up the small book, dipped it in his saliva and flipped through it quickly. He frowned and put down his spectacles. He pointed to the trembling record on the page and pointed it out to Gu Xing for a few times, "The girl in the toilet called Qian An, it seems that she worked in a media or marketing studio before the Spring Festival. The uncle and aunt downstairs who came back after the festival didn't see her working much. We need to know more about the specific situation. The name of the girl in the second bedroom is Li Manman also works in the post-production of film and television. She and Qian An are college classmates. They both happened to be in Shengbei after graduation, so they rented here together. Their usual schedules are not regular, but at least they have morning, noon and evening. , the uncle and aunt who are chatting in the sun downstairs can meet them."

Gu Xing nodded slightly and asked, "Which of the two of them was last seen by the neighbor, and when was it?"

"It was less than half past six o'clock yesterday morning." Chen Rui met Gu Xing's confused gaze with determination, "According to Aunt Liu on the first floor, the circuits in their community are aging, so these elderly people have to wake up early to cook at a different time. The circuit breaker often tripped. When she was about to go out and close the circuit breaker, she saw Li Manman running out wearing the cotton-padded jacket she often wore when working overtime late at night. Because this girl's working hours have been very chaotic recently, Aunt Liu didn't think much about it at the time - "

Chen Rui's voice was not loud, and the words rolled down clearly. Zhu Silai, who had just straightened up from the body bag, pricked up his ears and heard bits and pieces of this, and suddenly raised his head with stars in his eyes: " No, the condition of the corpse in the second bedroom was that it was almost stiff at six o'clock yesterday morning?"

"It's enough to be stiff."

Gu Xing let out a long, suppressed sigh and raised the corners of his mouth with a wry smile.

"The person who ran away was the murderer, not Li Manman."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on alternate days~
