I lay quietly on a cold bed, and a cold air like a cloud gradually diffused from the bottom of the bed, wrapping around my body like an arm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ever since I was struck by the horrific Hecheng serial murder five years ago, I have suffered from the after-effects, and I have to lie on the ice bed for half an hour every night to fall asleep.

I was the only survivor of the Hecheng serial murders, and the only one who witnessed the killer, but I didn't tell the police about it, but buried it deep in my heart.

Whenever I lie on the ice bed, I always see the souls who died tragically under the clutches of the murderer, each of them is innocent, but I can't avenge each of them at all.

It was also because of that incident that I left the ranks of the police and opened a detective agency in a secluded corner of the flower market, and I was forgotten by many people.

My name is Ziwu.

......

If an idea is not absurd in the first place, it is hopeless - Einstein.

A middle-aged man got up from bed in a hurry because of a brief phone call from a stranger, put on his clothes at will, and rushed to a mountainous area on the outskirts of the flower market late at night.

On a hot summer night, a scorching breeze swept out of the mountains and trees, hitting the face of the man who had just left the car, causing sweat to drip down his cheeks.

Thick dark clouds are evenly distributed over the city, there is no moon in the sky tonight, and the mountains and forests that have lost their moonlight are particularly deep and terrifying at this moment, giving people a sense of mystery.

The unlit mountains are always the darkest existence around a city, and walking in the dark, the man does not know how to settle, and every step will make him stagger.

As his body shook, the mobile phone in the man's hand suddenly rang, and the crisp ringtone was very obvious in this silent atmosphere, like an invisible sword, cutting through the silent void.

A text message was received on the phone: Raise your head and let you see the face of death.

The surprised man raised his head involuntarily, and with the faint light of the mobile phone screen, the man could barely see a figure standing in front of him, holding a "rope" in his hand.

The heavy rain that night, mixed with occasional flashes of thunder and lightning, made the already gloomy atmosphere of the mountains even more eerie, and it was not the rain that flowed in the channels of the mountain stream.

It's crimson blood!

......

The flower market in the south is already hot and dry, and the influence of the summer climate makes the whole city instantly turn into a huge steamer, even if the grass and plants in the city are still green, but it does not make people feel half cool.

Looking at the distance, people walking on the street can still vaguely see that the scenery in the distance is gradually falling and distorting due to the baking of this hot weather, which really adds a unique seasonal charm to the city.

The best way to deal with this weather is to go for a swim in a small river on the outskirts of the city, where people can swim in the cool water and sometimes even experience the fun of fishing.

At noon on March 20, 2009, the children of a family living near the river were running in the direction of the river with their friends, as if they were trying to relieve their heat as much as possible with the help of the cool water.

For a child who grew up near the river, swimming has become almost an essential part of his daily life, and in the summer, this recreation is progressing more and more frequently, sometimes even five or six times a day.

However, because there was a heavy rain last night, the temperature in the river dropped a little, and swimming may not be good for the body, so I moderated it a little, until noon, when the water temperature rose a little, and then I dared to return to the embrace of the current again.

But today, when the children were close to the river, they suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell, and asked in a low voice in unison: "Brother Xiaobao, what's going on, what's in the water, why is there a smell?" ”

"I don't know, I guess there are dead fish rotting in the river, but my dad said that the river water is living water, and it will always be recycled, so it stands to reason that there should be no dead fish staying here." The child known as Xiaobao whispered in surprise.

Out of curiosity, Xiaobao led the rest of the group to follow Xiaobao and walked slowly in the direction of the river, but when he looked at the water through the cover by the river, almost all the children present were so frightened that they sat on the ground.

It seems that because of an instinctive reaction, after seeing something on the river, all the children screamed in unison.

Soon Xiaobao's father rushed to hear the sound, and subconsciously glanced at the river when he asked Xiaobao about the situation, followed by a cold air rising from the soles of his feet, and making his body tremble uncontrollably at this moment.

For this situation on the river, my father did not dare to have any delay, and hurriedly called the local police, and at the same time worked with nearby people to protect the scene by the river and provide convenience for the police to handle the case as much as possible.

About ten minutes later, a group of criminal policemen driving police cars appeared directly near the river, and the screeching sound emitted by the police cars lingered in this slightly open area for a long time, vaguely rendering the atmosphere here a lot more tense.

As the captain of the criminal police, Lin Rou gradually walked into the blockade area of the scene with heavy steps, a pair of keen beautiful eyes were constantly scanning the surrounding situation, her skin that should have been as white as snow became slightly dark in the perennial sun.

The calloused hands in her palms were now clenched together as a direct result of holding the gun for a long time, forming a perfect echo of the cold expression on her glamorous cheeks, as if to set off how heavy the responsibilities and obligations on her epaulettes were.

This is her as the captain of the criminal police, a person who is outstanding, hot and cold, and elusive, she is the first female criminal police captain in the history of the flower market.

Standing still, a forensic doctor who had just taken off his mask approached with a solemn face, and took the opportunity to open the autopsy report in his hand: "The deceased, male, local, aged between forty and forty-five years old, and his identity is still uncertain." ”

"The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation, and according to the reaction on the corpse, it can be determined that the time of death should be between 11 o'clock last night and 1 a.m. the next morning.

"The body of the deceased did not show too strong resistance, it should have been strangled by the murderer suddenly without the victim noticing, it is worth noting that there are traces of cutting by tools in the head of the deceased."

"Because the deceased was immersed in the river, no valuable fingerprints were extracted from the clothes worn by the deceased, and no valuable clues were found in the surrounding environment, so it is preliminarily inferred that this should not be the first crime scene."

"At present, only these data can be obtained, and the specific cause of the injury to the head of the deceased, and whether it is the first fatal injury, needs to be brought back to the laboratory for further autopsy." At this point, the medical examiner turned to leave with the report in his hand.
