The cold air moves south, the temperature plummets, and in the early hours of the morning, fine snowflakes suddenly drift in the sky.

This is the first snow since the beginning of winter, and it came a little suddenly, although the temperature in the first two days was not high, and even a little cold in the morning and evening, and there were occasional frosts, but everyone was not too mentally prepared for the snow so soon.

The weather forecast is for sleet tomorrow, but the forecast is not exactly right.

Therefore, in the first half of the night, this ancient city is still singing and dancing, the lights are red and green, and the enthusiastic tourists have not planned to return home, and the outside world has turned silvery white.

However, when it snows, the actual temperature is not low, so everyone is still immersed in the beautiful music, graceful dancing, and shining lights.

The snow came and stopped quickly, and at about one o'clock in the morning, the snowflakes were already falling in pieces.

"Wow!" a tourist who came out to go to the public toilet was startled by the sudden snow-covered and howling north wind, and then shrunk his neck and trotted all the way to the bathroom in the snow.

It crunched underneath and sounded weird and a little slippery.

His clothes are a little thin, and he doesn't feel cold in the house, and he can't bear it when he comes out.

After the convenience, he suddenly became interested, the tourist is a southerner, and he has never seen snow much in his life, although there is only a thin layer of snow on the ground, but it is enough for him to feast his eyes.

So he deliberately went around in a circle, intending to enjoy the snow scene.

There is a short black shadow not far away, it looks like a dog from a distance, and it looks like a squatting person, who is here in the middle of the night?

The entire bar street is just such an alley, with a width of only five or six meters, allowing only one car to pass through. Usually everyone in and out of the alley for a single purpose, is to solve the three urgent, the tourist rubbed his hands and walked slowly, and found that the black shadow was still motionless in place, he had a little curiosity, but also some inexplicable fear.

Soon he suddenly became excited, could it be that someone had lost something?

Wow, so lucky?

Tourists look around, the sky is overcast, the snow has not completely stopped, and there are no street lights and no people in the alleys.

He quickly approached the shadow and turned on the flashlight on his phone, trying to take a picture of what the half-human-tall thing on the ground was, maybe a bag of money.

He first saw the conical silhouette covered with white snowflakes, and a long stick standing beside it, with a hairy face and a golden hoop on its head, and its eyes widened with rage, as if mocking him.

Suddenly-

A terrifying scream rang out, and the young tourist suddenly threw away his mobile phone and rushed out of the alley, crying incessantly: "Dead man, dead man!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The police car roared in, and there had been no homicide here for a long time, so as soon as the officers on duty received the police, they arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

When they came, the alley was quiet, and the scene was well preserved.

The first batch of criminal police officers to arrive set up a cordon at the entrance of the alley to prevent all unrelated people from entering the scene, and the two small police officers were interrogating the trembling tourist because it was he who called the police.

The police officers roughly confirmed the situation at the scene, verified that the police situation was correct, and hurriedly reported the situation at the scene of the murder to the headquarters and asked for support.

The red and blue police lights flashed, and after a while, leaders, forensic doctors, technicians and others arrived one after another.

Under the command of the team leader, several criminal police officers and professionals engaged in intense and busy on-site investigation operations, flashing lights from time to time to retain first-hand evidence.

The leader of the team is a middle-aged criminal policeman, and his position is probably not low, at least a deputy captain or something, he smokes a cigarette with a cold face, anxiously waiting for the initial investigation report.

In the case of a murder, the leader on duty must be present, and this is the rule of the unit. The city has been relatively peaceful in recent years, and there are many large and small cases, but there are really not many homicides.

So the middle-aged detective's face was solemn, he came out in a hurry, he didn't wear an extra piece of clothing, and the cold air penetrated his body from time to time, making him suddenly shiver.

A forensic doctor in a white lab coat was the first to come out and report to him on the scene.

"The deceased is a man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, thin and weak, with a slight impact wound on the back of his head and abrasions on his elbow, but obviously not enough to be fatal, at present, from the appearance, he has not suffered a sharp weapon stab wound, and there is no blood around him......" The forensic doctor paused, "Well, the cause of death may need to be further autopsied before it can be confirmed." According to the preliminary judgment, the deceased had just lost his vital signs, and the time of death would not exceed two hours. In addition, based on the dilated pupils and the physical characteristics of the deceased, the possibility of drug use cannot be ruled out......"

"Drug addict?" The middle-aged detective couldn't help frowning, and there was an evil anger in his heart.

The forensic doctor glanced up at the leader, and said again: "Deputy team, why don't you go and see it yourself?"

The middle-aged criminal policeman said suspiciously: "The situation is still unclear?"

"No, Lao Song said that he was a little unsure, and this guy's behavior looked a little strange. In this regard, the forensic doctor can't say why, he is just an identification officer, and the division of labor is very clear, "I don't dare to destroy the scene, so I haven't cut my clothes yet, and I'm waiting for the leader to make an idea." ”

The middle-aged criminal policeman nodded, followed the forensic doctor through the cordon, and walked into the scene.

At this time, the staff at the scene had completed the video collection and the snow on the deceased had been properly cleared, revealing a strange appearance.

The deceased was kneeling on his knees, holding a stick in his hand to support his body! He also wore a ring on his head and a sparse beard.

"What's in his hand?" the middle-aged detective squatted down and asked casually.

The old criminal policeman next to him who was laughing at the white mist muttered: "I guess it's a golden hoop stick, what the hell, why did the third watch come out with this thing in the middle of the night?"

The middle-aged criminal policeman frowned, this guy with a mouth full of cannons can be called a golden hoop stick with a stick, so the ring on his head can still be a tight hoop? Isn't this nonsense?

However, the middle-aged criminal police officer has also been engaged in front-line criminal investigation work for a long time, and has just been transferred to a leadership position recently. These former colleagues at the same level complained and couldn't deal with them, so they could only pay attention to their own observations.

I don't want the criminal policeman named Lao Song to continue driving the train: "Deputy team, you said that this guy is like this now, like the monkey Sun in Journey to the West?"

The middle-aged criminal policeman also made a joke: "According to what you say, he also knelt down for the white bone spirit?"

Old Song laughed: "Maybe that's the case." You are really funny, Sun Monkey wants to kneel, and he is also facing Zixia Fairy, how can it be a white bone spirit?"

The middle-aged detective didn't pay attention to his jokes, it was just a way for people who faced life and death to relieve stress.

He took a closer look, and soon became concerned about the beard on the deceased's face, the color of the beard seemed to be a little wrong, how could it be golden? He hesitated, put on his gloves and gently pulled it, and sure enough, it was a little loose, it turned out to be really sticky, he had some agreement with Lao Song's idea, so he pulled the stick in the deceased's hand again, but he didn't take it.

The other party held it too tightly, and he was stubborn and refused to let go. The middle-aged criminal policeman gave up this competition, he carefully looked at the situation around the deceased, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his probe hand groped around the deceased's leg for a moment, and then felt a pink leaf from the snowdrift.

"What is this?" he asked.

A few people next to him glanced at his hand, and finally Lao Song spoke: "Ahem, isn't this just a cherry blossom? ”

The middle-aged detective frowned: "Really, then you can look for it, if there is anything like the same nearby?" ”

A few young criminal policemen acted according to their words, but they never thought that they didn't find the second piece, and now Lao Song was not angry, and he dared to love that there was really only such a piece here.

"Vice, where did you say these cherry blossoms came from? Although there are many cherry blossom trees in our city, there are indeed no trees in this vicinity. Lao Song didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, he asked humbly.

The middle-aged criminal policeman thought for a while, and said for a long time: "I can't determine the source." But I speculate that the deceased himself brought it over...... Xiao Qin, you take a picture of it and receive it in the evidence bag. ”

The criminal policeman next to him carefully took the cherry blossoms, and the middle-aged criminal policeman stood up, he touched his chin vigorously, and stared at the deceased for a long time without saying a word.

He muttered to himself, "Is he really proposing to the White Bone Spirit?"

Lao Song wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh on the side, he said: "Deputy team, it's Zixia Fairy." ”

The middle-aged criminal policeman smiled dumbly, he nodded: "Old Song, you ask the comrades of the technical department to take a clear picture of this person's original posture from multiple angles, take a few more photos, and let's go back and study it well." I always felt like it was a ritual or something...... By the way, let them take some panoramic photos with the background in the background. ”

Lao Song should undertake to arrange it in person, and the meaning of the deputy team may not be understood by those who take pictures.

The middle-aged criminal policeman turned around and patted the forensic doctor on the shoulder: "Fortunately, you were cautious and didn't move this corpse casually, otherwise we might accidentally lose a lot of clues." ”

"Without the leader's instructions, I will not destroy the scene at will. "The forensic doctor, who is not young, is humble and authentic.

The middle-aged criminal policeman said with relief: "It's really important to have rich experience, especially your forensic profession." Today's young people have a lot of ideas, but they don't accumulate experience, and their methods are mechanical, often ignoring the cooperation between departments, resulting in the passivity of other colleagues. Dude, you're going to have to teach them a good lesson......"

The old forensic doctor didn't speak, and the middle-aged criminal policeman suddenly asked, "Is it true that the cause of his death can't be found out immediately?" ”

The old forensic doctor instructed his subordinates to follow the instructions and re-examine the body surface of the deceased.

After half an hour—

"No visible injuries were found, and the cause of death is uncertain. I'm afraid I'll have to bring it back for a further autopsy, and that's going to take a little time. The old forensic doctor returned gloomily, he understood that the deputy team was eager to solve the case, and the unknown cause of death meant that the case was difficult, and it also meant that many of the subsequent investigations were aimless.

He added: "Don't worry, in addition to the pathological analysis, the results will be available in two or three days, and you can closely monitor this place." ”

The middle-aged criminal policeman hesitated: "But I can't report it to my superiors, we haven't had a murder for a long time." He thought for a moment, "Is it possible to commit suicide, or to die from a drug overdose?"

"It's hard to say. "The old forensic doctor is always cautious, and he is different from these whimsical detectives.

The middle-aged criminal policeman waved his hand to let the old forensic doctor get busy, his thoughts were racing, he turned his head and just glanced at the eyes of the deceased, and suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart for no reason, what's going on?

The expression of the deceased was very strange, and his round eyes seemed to be looking at the gates of hell with great anger!
