Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu got up in the soft exchange of sunshine, packed up their things and went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, they will go to the beach, and today's plan is to stay at the beach until sunset, and they can't watch the sunrise together, so they can only end the trip in a romantic sunset.

During the meal, Xiao Mubai's phone rang suddenly, Lin Manshu didn't know who called, but she could see that Xiao Mubai's expression changed from relaxed to solemn.

"Okay, I got it. Xiao Mubai listened to the whole phone call, but finally answered.

"Is something wrong?" asked Lin Manshu.

Xiao Mubai said with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to see the sea." ”

"Is there a new case again?" asked Lin Manshu.

Xiao Mubai nodded, and although he hesitated for a while, he still said, "Sun Yutong, dead." ”

It is inevitable to encounter murder cases in the police profession, and they are also commonplace, but the most uncomfortable thing for them is the death of an acquaintance. Because it's a familiar person, I think it's even deeper.

"A part-time student at a hot pot restaurant?" asked Lin Manshu.

She often goes to Sichuan West hot pot restaurants, so she is quite familiar with Sun Yutong, and it is not easy to go to college while working part-time. Life is hard, but Sun Yutong can still live with a smile, and she also thinks that this child will definitely make a difference in the future.

The one who was hit hardest by the news of Sun Yutong's death was Chen Li. When I heard the victim and the location of the crime, I could already confirm that the deceased was Sun Yutong. But this incident hit Chen Li like he couldn't imagine. He even began to deceive himself, maybe Sun Yutong didn't live there - maybe it was a person with the same name as Sun Yutong - maybe Sun Yutong went back to school yesterday and was not at home at all.

But this series of assumptions is just wishful thinking on his part, on the day Sun Yutong moved, Chen Li personally helped, so he naturally knew that the place where the crime occurred was Sun Yutong's home. When they chatted last night, Sun Yutong also said that he would go home after work. As for the name, he couldn't be more familiar.

Therefore, although Chen Li is reluctant to admit it, the deceased is Sun Yutong. After receiving the report, they quickly rushed to the scene of the crime, if Chen Li still had a trace of luck before, when he saw Sun Yutong's body lying in a pool of blood, those luck were shattered.

He walked from the door to Sun Yutong's body step by step, his steps were heavy, and his heart was even more tormented. His mind kept coming back to Sun Yutong's appearance before his death.

"Officer Chen, this is a cake I made myself, thank you for helping me move yesterday. Sun Yutong handed Chen Li a box of small cakes with a smile on his face.

That was what happened the day after Chen Li helped Sun Yutong move, and the cake was delicious. The box is also very exquisite, and Chen Li has kept it.

"Hello, welcome, please come this way. ”

Chen Li and Sun Yutong met for the first time at a Sichuan West Hot Pot restaurant, and the welcome speech was the beginning of their conversation. At that time, Sun Yutong was younger and more energetic, and the simplicity revealed in her smile was the key to Chen Li's attention.

In the future, Chen Li often came to the hot pot restaurant where Sun Yutong worked to eat, and I don't know if it was to meet her or the hot pot in that store was delicious, in short, Sun Yutong was always on duty when he went.

Once again, Sun Yutong got off work late, and the way back to school was far away, so Chen Li sent her back to school, and on the way, Sun Yutong talked about her life experience.

Sun Yutong's family background is not good, his father is helpless to run a business in order to make money, and he owes a lot of debts when he fails to do business, which makes the burden of the Sun family even heavier.

By the time Sun Yutong went to college, her family couldn't afford her tuition. In the year she was admitted to university, she took a leave of absence because she could not pay the tuition, and she worked several jobs outside at the same time to earn tuition and successfully enter the university.

After that, she studied and worked at the same time, and also got a full scholarship every year, although her family was not good, she never complained, enjoyed life, and tried to be the best version of herself.

After listening to Sun Yutong's story that day, Chen Li felt very sad, and felt a little distressed about Sun Yutong from then on.

"It must have been hard. Chen Li once asked Sun Yutong like this.

But Sun Yutong smiled casually and said, "No, this kind of life is very fulfilling and happy." ”

"How can you be happy when you are so tired every day?" Chen Li said in disbelief.

"It's true. Sun Yutong said, "I always feel like I was chosen by God." Doesn't it mean that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. Heaven must want to give me a great responsibility, that's why I have to work so hard. ”

Chen Li was moved by Sun Yutong's optimism and believed that one day she could achieve great things. But now, the road of her life has just begun, and she died on the road, how can she not be sad?

Chen Li squatted next to Sun Yutong's corpse, her fair face even paler under the blood. Chen Li noticed her hands, which had been through vicissitudes of life, covered with calluses. Because of these cocoons, Sun Yutong's originally beautiful hands were deducted a lot of points, but they were indeed traces of her hard work.

"Little Sun ......" Chen Li called out to Sun Yutong softly, and even he didn't notice the tremor in his voice.

The surrounding police colleagues looked at Chen Li and didn't understand why he was like this, in fact, he didn't understand it himself, it was just heartache, and the reason didn't have time to think about it.

These days, close to graduation, Sun Yutong has found a good job, although he is still an intern, but he has a bright future. After getting her first month's salary, the first thing Sun Yutong did was to go to the hot pot restaurant where she used to work to eat hot pot.

"When I used to work, I always thought that when I had money, I must come here to eat hot pot. At that time, it was so sad to see the guests eating delicious hot pot but only smelling the taste. ”

Sun Yutong said this to Chen Li, and her voice was a little choked when she spoke.

Chen Li also felt very sad when he heard it, after all, Sun Yutong was not very old, and he should have been the age of tricks for playing, but he was trapped by money.

"I'll treat you to this hot pot, you can order whatever you want. Chen Li looked at Sun Yutong dotingly and said.

"No, no, it only makes sense to eat at your own expense. Sun Yutong said.

"That doesn't allow you to invite me to dinner as a student who hasn't graduated yet. Chen Li said with a smile.

Who knew that Sun Yutong said playfully: "I didn't invite you, I just invited Officer Chen to accompany me to eat." I don't have any friends, it's weird to eat hot pot alone, I'm not like Lawyer Lin, who is psychologically strong enough to eat hot pot alone. ”

There is nothing wrong with this, how many people can be as cold as Lin Manshu?

"If Officer Chen doesn't feel sorry, treat me to dinner next time. Sun Yutong said.

They agreed to have dinner together next time, and it would be Sunday afternoon, which was this afternoon. If nothing else, Sun Yutong should have dressed up beautifully and appeared at the appointed place, or waited for Chen Li to pick her up to the agreed place. However, it was destined to be an appointment that could not be made, leaving Chen Li with infinite regrets.

The departed person is relaxed and does not feel sadness, but how can the person who is left behind forget?

The sudden parting, coupled with the parting of life and death, made Chen Li uncomfortable speechless, he held Sun Yutong's hand and put it on his forehead, but he still couldn't hide his sadness.

"Captain, this ......" Zhang Xin looked at Ren Tao helplessly.

Although Ren Tao wanted to wait for Chen Li to finish his condolences, the police station had the regulations of the police station, so he stepped forward, pulled Chen Li away, and said, "Xiao Chen, you will destroy the scene of the crime like this, go out first." ”

Ren Tao forced Chen Li away, because he was reluctant to leave, feeling Sun Yutong's hand detached from the palm of his hand little by little, and the feeling that she was no longer there was even stronger. He looked at Sun Yutong's corpse in despair, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart forever.

Xiao Mubai rushed back a few hours later, when the crime scene had been investigated, but Xiao Mubai still went again.

He has always partnered with Chen Li, but this time it was replaced by Zhang Xin. Out of concern for Chen Li, Ren Tao wanted Chen Li to stay away from the scene of the crime as much as possible, so as not to be more sad.

Sun Yutong's body had been sent for an autopsy, and the blood stains were wiped quickly, and only the lying position where she was lying when she died was scratched on the ground.

Xiao Mubai carefully observed the surrounding environment, the decoration in the room was simple and did not lack the thoughts of little girls, which was in line with Sun Yutong's usual personality.

Sun Yutong lives in a single apartment assigned by the company, with only a bedroom and bathroom, and very little furniture. In the only piece of furniture, it was also messy. But these messy marks don't look like traces of a fight, but rather like rummaging through something.

"Did you lose anything?" Xiao Mubai asked Zhang Xindao.

"The valuables are there, and as for the rest, we are checking with the family. Zhang Xin replied.

Xiao Mubai checked the situation in the room, it was very messy, Sun Yutong's personal belongings were lost everywhere, but the computer, mobile phone, and wallet were still there, which means that the murderer was not for money.

"It's not for money or sex, why did the murderer kill people?" Xiao Mubai asked.

He wasn't asking Zhang Xin this question, and Zhang Xin naturally couldn't answer it. The two checked separately, Xiao Mubai walked to the window, there were orchids on the windowsill as decoration, and the curtains were also extremely plain colors.

There was no sign of knocking on the window, could it be that the murderer walked in from outside the door?

Xiao Mubai had doubts in his heart, and immediately went to check outside the door and found that there was a camera at the end of the corridor.

"Don't look at it, that camera is fake, only the camera downstairs can be used. Zhang Xin said.

"What about surveillance?" Xiao Mubai asked about the surveillance of the camera downstairs.

"I've taken it back, and Team Ren is looking at it. Zhang Xin replied.

Ren Tao wanted to watch the surveillance alone, but Chen Li had to watch it together, he said: "I want to catch the murderer of Xiao Sun with my own hands." ”

Looking at his firm eyes, Ren Tao only agreed. He hadn't discovered Chen Li's feelings for Sun Yutong before, but unconsciously it was already so deep?
