Chapter 1: The Vanishing Bride I

Next Chapter

The blue sky reflects the green grass of the garden, the small bridge and the flowing water, and the willows. The bluestone-paved path is hidden by pure white petals and winds its way to the end of the road.

All the way forward, there are occasional bursts of flowers, the wind blows, the falling flowers are colorful, accompanied by the waltz of love, forming a romantic and moving beautiful picture.

1 May 2020, 10:10 p.m.

NH Hotel, a grand lawn wedding is about to take place. In the garden, it is crowded and very lively.

In the rest area on the second floor of the hotel, the bride Wu Xi is leaning on the arm of the chair with one hand against her head, closing her eyes and resting.

"Squeak-"

The door to the foyer was pushed open.

Wu Xi moved his eyes slightly, opened his eyes, and turned his head sideways to look at the door. The moment she turned her head, her body stiffened, her pupils continued to expand, and a hideous face was vaguely reflected in her eyes, which made her look pale.

The other party was approaching her little by little, Wu Xi hurriedly got up, wanting to escape from this land, but was stopped by the man. Helplessly, she had to move a few steps to the window, slapping the glass window hard, trying to attract the attention of everyone downstairs. It's just that the noise outside is so noisy that no one notices the strangeness here.

In the corner of her eye, the figure of the other party gradually occupied her eyes, she opened her mouth, and there was a slight tremor in her tone: "Don't come here." Don't over-"

Before the words fell, she was covered by the other party with a handkerchief. Wu Xi struggled, and his mouth was still making a "woo woo" sound.

She kicked the table next to her with her foot, and the vase on it crumbled and fell to the ground with a crisp and loud sound.

Wu Xi's frightened eyes saw that the other party frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced out the window, and the corners of his mouth seemed to hook up a smile, eerie and creepy. Then the other party took out a syringe from his pocket, and the slender needle hole was gently pierced into the crook of her arm.

She felt a chill diffuse around her, gradually blurring her consciousness. After a few seconds, she stopped struggling, her hand slipping from the other's wrist, and the ring on her ring finger rolled to a corner with her movements, a voice so soft that it was impossible to detect.

She lay motionless on the ground with her eyes closed, as quiet as if she were asleep. Calm returned to the lounge, as if nothing had happened.

on the lawn

"Isn't the wedding about to start, why hasn't the bride come yet?"

"What are you doing?"

"It's been more than ten minutes since the wedding was auspicious, what's going on?"

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen a late marriage. ”

“......”

The crowd began to whisper.

The groom, Chen Feng, frowned, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his face was gloomy, he held back his anger, and said to the housekeeper on the side: "Uncle He, go and see, what's wrong with her, she is late for such an important occasion." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. ”

About five minutes later, Steward He arrived in a hurry and whispered in Chen Feng's ear: "Young Grandma is gone." ”

"What?" Chen Feng was stunned at first, then angry, "Find it for me immediately!"

Thinking that the son of the chairman of the board of directors of the Morimu Group is a figure with a head and a face in N City, and there are countless women who throw him into his arms, how can he fall to the point of being released on the wedding day?

He looked in the direction of the second floor, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he felt that he had lost face, so he raised his hand and pulled the bow tie around his neck, kicked the decorative vase at his feet, and left angrily, turning around and going up to the second floor.

Steward He ordered a group of people to wait to find Wu Xi's figure, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

About half an hour later

Steward He came in a hurry and said in a sighing tone: "Young master, young grandma is dead. ”

"What did you say?" Chen Feng was stunned, and it took a long time to react, but he didn't seem to hear clearly, so he asked again.

"The manager of the hotel had just arrived, and I bumped into him at the door, and he told me in a panic that the young grandmother had died, and the body was in the cold storage in the back kitchen. ”

At this time, Chen Feng lost the ability to think, his head was buzzing, and the whole person sat down on the sofa. I thought that the other party just didn't want to marry him, but who would have thought that she was actually dead!

There are no impermeable walls in the world, and soon, the news of the bride's death spread among the people who came to the wedding, causing quite a commotion.

"I saw that she was fine before, why did she die in a blink of an eye?"

"It's really unfortunate that a good wedding banquet is now like this. ”

“......”

In the corner, in an inconspicuous position, there was a woman with long hair and white clothes, she frowned slightly, and after a few seconds, she got up and went to the direction of the cold storage in the back kitchen.

The woman in white is called Lin Chang'an, and she is a graduate student in criminal psychology. Today, she came to attend the wedding for others, but she didn't expect that she was so "lucky", and a good wedding became a funeral in an instant.

When she arrived at the cold storage, the police had already arrived. At that time, they were pulling the cordon, circling the corpse, and then driving away the crowd gathered around the scene to watch the excitement.

Chang An approached and looked inside, and the corpse was lying upright on the ground, looking roughly, there should be no wounds on the body, and there was no blood on the pure white wedding dress.

She squinted her eyes and wanted to go up to see clearly, but was stopped by a policeman, "This young lady, please don't affect our case." ”

Chang An took a few steps back and stood still not far away, the conversation of two of the policemen ringing in his ears.

"Team Zhou, what do you think of this case?"

"There are no signs of a fight around, and there are no fatal injuries on the deceased's body, so it is not ruled out that he was frozen to death by mistake in cold storage. ”

"Absolutely impossible!"

The two policemen turned their heads together, followed the sound, their eyes fell on Chang An, and the leader asked, "Why is it impossible?"

"The deceased was dead before entering the cold storage. Chang An replied very firmly.

At this time, the man known as Team Zhou spoke: "How can you see it?"

Chang An didn't answer and asked: "What do ordinary people do when the temperature plummets?"

"It's going to be constantly moving, running back and forth, and rubbing your hands against your body to generate heat. ”

"That's right! If she had strayed into the cold storage, there was frost on the floor, and the deceased was wearing high heels, there would have been footprints around the body, but this was not the case. And there were no creases left by friction on the sleeves of her wedding dress.

Assuming that she was not dead before entering the cold storage, then it would be common sense that she should be curled up now. But it was obvious that she was stretched out at the moment, without any signs of curling up.

Also, it is easy to ignore the fact that a bride who is about to get married, she is not preparing for the wedding well, what is she doing in the cold storage? ”

"Well, that makes sense. ”

Chang An added: "To sum up, she was brought here after her death, the cold storage was not the scene of the first crime, and her death was not an accident, it was a deliberate murder." ”

Chang An's analysis was reasonable, and the two policemen nodded in unison.

"If you believe me, I can assist you in your investigation. At the end, she added: "Oh, by the way, I'm Lin Chang'an, a graduate student in criminal psychology at C University, and Mu Ci is my teacher." ”

"Senior Mu Ci?" the leader frowned slightly, and his face showed a little joy.

Chang An nodded. Actually, she doesn't want to move out of the teacher's name, but if there is no deterrent, I'm afraid the other party will not agree to her participation in this case.

The man looked at Lin Changan and thought for a moment. Mu Ci's seniors have done a lot of case analysis in the help bureau in previous years, and helped them solve several major cases, so he couldn't be clearer about Mu Ci's strength, it is reported that Mu Ci is not easy to accept apprentices, and he can be recognized, thinking that Lin Chang'an's ability is not bad.

And after he came to the scene, the bureau called over, roughly meaning that he should solve the case as soon as possible. After all, the Chen family is a man of the hour in N City, and if this incident happened today, it is better to calm it down as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary disturbances.

Now if there is Lin Changan's help, the case should be solved quickly, he thought so, and nodded lightly: "I'm Zhou Changqing, I have you to work for you today." ”

Chang An secretly rejoiced, fortunately her teacher was Mu Ci, otherwise how could the other party agree so quickly! Speaking of this, she had to praise her teacher, Mu Ci has a high attainment in criminal psychology, no matter in the academic world, or anywhere, the reputation is very good, professional and reliable.

"Excuse me...... Can I go in and see the corpse?" Chang An asked as he looked at Zhou Changqing.

"Please. ”
