The fluffy snowflakes falling in the urban area are far gentler than the snow knives in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.

Gu Xing made an appointment for dinner with Deputy Warden Chen, who was rooted in the basic level of the prison, and drove the old police car that was about to be eliminated and scrapped through the accident-prone section of the northern suburbs, and drove straight to the downstairs of Cheng Ye's residential area. As soon as he saw it, his brows furrowed into a ball.

Two police cars from the Municipal Bureau leaned obtrusively and obtrusively beside the bushes in front of the building, and the colleagues who traced the evidence and collected the boxes went into the opening of the building.

Gu Xing will stop the car, and a little spectacled man who was thrown outside to maintain order and protect the scene waved his arms and approached suspiciously: "Where is your car? Are you also looking for that loan shark Cheng Li? He He is in the hospital right now, and we have to wait for a while for the interrogation, first we have to deal with the burglary and beating—"

Little Glasses froze in the middle of speaking, stared blankly at Gu Xing, turned inside out for a long time before finding out the certificate handed to the car window, panicked for a long time, and the question that was fluent just now was stuttered All over the place: "Gu...Gu team? I'm sorry, Gu team... I'm a policeman from the police station in Huayuan. My surname is Yin. I may have never seen you before...you...how did you come here? The city bureau Team leader Lin Yulin has already received the police, and he is upstairs, so I just... just—”

"Just...just...just whatever. I'm not your uncle, so I'm blindly identifying relatives here." Gu Xing smiled relaxedly and cheerfully, and pushed out his nervous head that was about to come in through the car window. , received the ID, got out of the car and followed Police Officer Xiao Yin, looked around downstairs for a week in a leisurely manner, then opened the cordon and walked into the building, glanced roughly at the big red paint on the wall of the corridor, and took a picture. Patting his head with small glasses, Gua chatted to express his gratitude, raised his chin and waved to Team Leader Lin who was standing at the door with his hips akimbo.

"Lin Yu? What's the matter?"

"Captain Gu?! What kind of wind did you come here on?"

Most of the desks in the hands of the second group of serious cases are protracted battles. On Lin Yu's handsome face in his early thirties, the furrows between his brows are deeper than Gu Xing's.He pressed his palm to signal Gu Xing to wait a moment, and waited until the routine photo-taking was over before he turned his head and said briefly to the mess in front of him: "Cheng Li, you should know that the kid who was arrested a while ago disappeared several times The father of a month. The neighbor called the police early in the morning. Cheng Li engaged in gambling and usury, and owed a lot of triangular debts. The big-character posters have never been broken... The neighbors saw their door open this morning, so they wanted to come in to find the long-lost Cheng Li, but when they entered the door, they found him lying in a pool of blood, and the house was smashed and turned over It's a mess."

"Robbery? The neighbors didn't hear anything?" Gu Xing folded his arms and obeyed the command, put on his gloves and shoe covers, and walked around the room carefully: "How is Cheng Li?"

"The man from the police station was still awake at the time. He said it was a burglary. All the mortgage jewelry he hid at home was gone... But early in the morning, the creditor probably came to the door and dared not admit it. He was stabbed three times. Two cuts, one cut on the outside of the thigh. The emergency doctor said it was more dangerous, and we have to go to the hospital later to wait for the news."

Lin Yu squeezed his drooping eyelids after squatting for most of the night, first gestured for the position of Cheng Lizhong's knife according to himself, then tilted his head to look at the slow walk outside the door, and pointed at the man who didn't know when The old man ran to the door to peep his head and watch the excitement, and urged the police from the police station to invite people downstairs: "——several neighbors upstairs and downstairs have college entrance examination candidates. After Cheng Ye's accident, he was afraid of being affected, so he was out for the time being. Renting a house to live in. The uncle and aunt next door also said that they didn’t hear any noise at night. When I went out for morning exercises at five o’clock in the morning, I saw that Cheng Li’s house was still closed. After shopping in the morning market, I came back early, and this person was lying in the house with a knife Yes. Grandpa and aunt arrived downstairs at about [-]:[-], and no abnormal person was found in the corridor or in the community. It can be almost inferred that the damage was done during this period. The nearby monitoring just sent someone out to ask, no matter how it was noon... ..."

Lin Yu wandered around the room for a few steps, and was mercilessly pushed to the corner by his technical colleagues. He crossed his arms and looked at Gu Xing, who was briefly browsing in front of Cheng Ye's desk, and reluctantly turned around without being so straightforward. He made a detour and asked: "Captain Gu, have you asked for leave these days? Why did you suddenly drop by here?"

Gu Xing's rummaging and picking movements suddenly paused. He didn't say anything, and expressionlessly picked up a photo that was stuck in the exercise book as a bookmark. He stared blankly at Cheng Ye, who seemed to be deliberately standing in the alley. Most of the face, which was silent in memory, was silent for a long time, and then raised its eyelids to meet Lin Yu's tired and suspicious gaze.

This is a photo that carries countless lies from Cheng Ye.The light reflecting on the snow was blurry and gray, and the three forked alleys extended toward the outer edge of the photo paper. Cheng Ye was smiling, and with an extremely distorted perspective, he preserved a murder as a souvenir.Even after three years, the bright red fingertips pointed at were still painful and dazzling.

"Lin Yu, you also followed the case of the Red Chamber, right?"

"...The first big case I joined the Municipal Bureau, at that time it was Captain Gu who led the team to investigate this serial case, but later because of the red building—" Lin Yu scratched his head that was about to become a log after staying up all night, and said He repeated the "Red Mansion Case" several times silently, but didn't realize it for a while: "What's wrong, Captain Gu?"

"This kid... really appeared at the scene of the crime back then."

Gu Xing struggled to look away, and showed Lin Yu a self-printed photo that completely framed the murder scene three years ago. His throat suddenly choked and he was speechless for a long time.

"This photo is related to Cheng Ye. I'll take it first... After all, this case can't be investigated now. If you need it, you can find me again." He cleared his throat and punched Lin Yu who was already stupid on the spot. On his shoulder, he swallowed dryly a few times before he could continue to make a sound: "——I came here mainly because of Cheng Ye. The kid said that he lived near the red building back then, and he seemed to have secretly hidden a physical evidence from the scene of the crime. I guess It was taken as a valuable item by this group of burglars this morning, if you can find it when your team investigates, remember to show it to me."

The door panel of the criminal investigation detachment's office was knocked by the draft, and Jiang Mo turned over in a jerk, and with a "gudong", he fell firmly from between the two fallen chairs.

She was still wrapped in a piece of clothing that was covered by someone who didn't know who covered her, and her arms were wrapped in the sleeves, and it took a long time for her to get up in a crooked manner.Jiang Mo shook a few times with soreness, squinted his eyes, and helped Xiao Letian, who was lying on the desk and was about to see Lord Yan in his dream, dragged down the clothes wrapped around his face. , clasped his hoarse, smoldering throat with both hands, shook his dry and rusty coat, and was about to put on his rusty coat, Gu Xing squeezed a big fried dough stick to open the door, and crept in. Inside the office.

Jiang Mo squinted his eyes and looked at her master's contented face after he had just returned from "robbing and looting" in the corridor, and yawned speechlessly.

"Are you awake? Lao Song said that you two have been staying here for several days, thinking about letting you brothers sleep a little longer... I just heard the door 'bang' in the corridor, I guess I covered you two and came out The clock is running fast. Surprised, isn't it?"

Gu Xing has been haunted for a few days, except for a little lack of sleep, he can't see any gloomy face.He happily asked Jiang Mo, who was still too sleepy to open his eyes, to ask for credit, and slapped the little bastard's forehead, which was still full of confusion, and turned to point to the stairwell: "The serious case group two!" My brother went to the police a few mornings and didn’t eat. When he came back, he bought the breakfast stall of fried dough sticks and soy milk. I’m afraid that Lao Geng’s behavior is not right, and the cats are there, don’t you want to make a fuss?”

Jiang Mo probably had a real cold this time, his voice was hoarse as if there was an air leak in his throat, mixed with hissing sounds.She didn't answer her master's nonsense, but she didn't have much courage to directly throw out the topic that had been lingering in her heart for a long time. In the end, she just stared at Gu Xing's faintly melancholy eyes and frowned in confusion. He lowered his eyebrows, remained silent for a while, and sighed hoarsely: "Master, there are signs of a high-fall case."
