Chapter 1 Lives are short

In the conference room, the air was stuffy, and the electric fan was shaking weakly. Sun Su was dressed in a formal suit and sat precariously looking at the interviewer in front of him.

"We will call you to inform you of the results within a week, thank you for attending the interview with our company, please ask the next interviewee to come in. The interviewer straightened the resume in his hand, threw it aside, and announced the end of the interview in a mechanical tone.

Sun Suhe tried to read some clues from the interviewer's face, but the other party was still expressionless and couldn't see anything. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: I'm waiting for the phone again, hey, most of the results are not optimistic.

However, the final details still have to be done, buttoned up the suit, stood up, Sun Suhe bowed slightly to the interviewer: "Thank you." Then he gently pushed the chair back into place.

Walking out of the door of the conference room, Sun Suhe inevitably felt a little lost in his heart.

After failing the graduate school entrance examination at the beginning of the year, he stumbled all the way, finally finished writing his graduation thesis, completed the defense, and got his graduation certificate, and his family urged him to hurry home to take the civil service exam. Taking the public examination, blind date, getting married, buying a house, in the hearts of Sun Suhe's parents, this is the best life trajectory.

This kind of life is monotonous but stable. Income, welfare, and social status are all good. Parents, relatives, it seems that everyone will be satisfied, except for Sun Suhe himself.

For Sun Suhe, this kind of life from the age of 20 to the age of 60 is not the slightest attractive. Before he began to explore the possibilities of life, he was pressed to death on the established track, and such a life is boring.

So, after an inevitable quarrel, Sun Suhe left his hometown and ran to the city alone. However, jobs are hard to come by, and the right jobs are even more so. The money he saved from working in college was barely enough for him to pay a few months' rent. He can only do odd jobs at convenience stores while submitting resumes everywhere.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the office building, a heat wave came to his face, Sun Suhe frowned slightly, and felt irritable in his heart, "Tsk, why is it still so hot after the beginning of autumn." ”

The collar and cuffs were slightly itchy, and he unbuttoned his shirt while thinking about where to go for a meal later, and then rushed to the convenience store early for the night shift.

Suddenly, with a bang, there was a muffled sound beside him, Sun Suhe followed the prestige, and saw a man not far away lying straight in a pool of blood, his body was still twitching slightly, but his life was disappearing quickly with the wanton blood.

Fear, nausea, mixed with the smell of blood in the air, struck at you. Sun Suhe only felt that his buttocks were sour, and the sour water in his stomach suddenly flooded up. Teng Tengteng, took a few steps back, and finally stood still on the wall, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and forced a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the urge to vomit.

At this time, other people on the street also found out that something was wrong, screaming, watching, taking pictures, and making a mess. Sun Suhe reluctantly calmed down, and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the emergency number 120 and the police number 110.

There's only so much I can do, and I'll leave the rest to the professionals. Thinking like this, Sun Suhe endured the discomfort and finished the call, walked a few steps quickly, and just wanted to leave this place immediately.

A few kilometres away in the Old Town neighborhood, a police car is driving aimlessly through the streets at a very slow pace.

The criminal police hero sat in the passenger seat unconsciously, smoking cigarettes one after another, looking at the mobile phone in his hand with red eyes, opening and closing, opening and closing, the anxiety on his body seemed to overflow like water.

Officer Zhao Qingzhao beside him couldn't help but ask, "Lao You, what's wrong with you today, are you still thinking about that incident?"

You Yingying stared at his bloodshot eyes and asked, "Let me ask you, do you really believe that Lao Zhang committed suicide in your heart, and you don't have any suspicions at all?"

Officer Zhao sighed and said, "I couldn't believe it when I first learned about it, but we still have to believe the evidence as a police officer." It's really hard to talk about depression, the forensic doctor has tested it, I know this kind of thing is really difficult to accept, but ......"

You Yingying coughed, and his hoarse voice interrupted him: "You don't have to say more to me about these words, and you don't care about me about this matter." ”

Officer Zhao weighed his words for a moment and cautiously continued to persuade: "Lao You, I know your friendship with Lao Zhang, but it's ......."

"Xiao Zhao, you don't have to persuade me. You Yingying waved the cigarette in his hand and interrupted Officer Zhao's words, "I can see Lao Zhang's face as soon as I close my eyes now, sometimes it is what he looked like when he was a child, sometimes it is what he looked like when he was at the police academy, and sometimes it is his mother's face covered with blood." But no matter what it looks like, he's talking to me about something, and he's going to let me find out!"

You Yingying took a hard puff of his cigarette, "I know, you don't believe me, you think it's hard for me to accept the facts, and I'm cranky." I'm telling you, sometimes even I don't believe in myself. But, if I'm right, then today, today, at 4:13 p.m., something fucking must have happened. ”

Although it was nearly evening, the sun was still pouring light and heat uncontrollably, and the streets were steaming hot. Pedestrians gathered to watch the excitement because of the sudden fall from the building, and the security guards in the nearby building shouted loudly to try to maintain order, but with little success, and the scene was chaotic.

Sun Suhe finally left the scene against the swarming crowd.

"Hey, Sun Suhe! It's you, don't go, wait for me. ”

Suddenly, a slightly immature female voice came from behind her, calling out to Sun Suhe, who was sweating profusely. Sun Suhe felt a little strange in his heart, because the other party used the dialect of his hometown.

Sun Suhe's hometown is a small city in the east of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the east of Zhejiang is mountainous, and the transportation is inconvenient in ancient times, so the two places are often not far apart, but the tone of voice is very different, there are ten miles of different sounds, it is not difficult for the locals to understand what to say.

I met a friend from my hometown so coincidentally? But this voice is not very impressive. Sun Suhe looked back and saw a person not far away waving to him. The man was dressed in a wide black robe, carrying a bulging black backpack and wearing an exaggerated wizard's hat on his head, which covered his face.

Who is this? Is you playing wizard cosplay? Sun Suhe couldn't figure out which acquaintance this was.

Just thinking about it, the black-robed girl had already trotted a few steps and stood in front of Sun Suhe. She pushed the brim of the big hat, the broken sunlight from the plane tree jumped and sprinkled on her face, her long flawless sterling silver hair fluttered in the breeze, and her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as those in a painting.

Sun Suhe looked at his figure reflected in the ruby pure red pupils, his breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and even his heartbeat was a little faster. He blushed and looked away, as if subconsciously feeling that staring at the girl in front of him like this was a great blasphemy.

The black-robed girl didn't care about Sun Suhe's reaction, she didn't say a word, she stared straight at Sun Suhe, her eyes carefully examining every detail from top to bottom, as if she was appreciating a most important treasure.

Sun Suhe was embarrassed for a while, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Sun Suhe had countless questions swirling in his heart. Who is this in front of me, and why she knows my name, but I don't remember it at all. And looking at the appearance is obviously not Chinese, it is not uncommon for foreigners who can speak Chinese, but they have never seen anyone who can speak such a strange dialect.

After a long time, the black-robed girl breathed a long sigh of relief, showed a relieved expression, and muttered, "It's really me." ”

What are you and mine, Sun Suhe asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you?"

The black-robed girl didn't answer, patted Sun Suhe's shoulder and said lightly, "You, your life is not long." Then he turned around and left.

"Oh, by the way, the convenience store was hit by a car, so you don't have to go to the convenience store at night to work. After a few steps, she turned back and added without thinking.

Sun Su was confused, what was this.

Buzzing, the phone vibrates in the pocket. Sun Suhe took it out and saw that it was the phone number of the owner of the convenience store where he was working.

"Xiao Sun, you don't use it at night, my mother sells skins, it's really bad luck, no one believes it, just now, just now, just now, a car crashed into our store......"

I don't have to go to work at night, I don't have to go, I don't have to go...... The boss's words and the words of the black-robed girl kept spinning in Sun Suhe's mind. He didn't have the heart to listen to his boss anymore, so he casually cut off the phone after a few perfunctory words.

His heart was in turmoil, and countless emotions poured into Sun Suhe's heart, including surprise, doubt, fear, and a trace of indescribable restlessness. He felt that if his life was a road, then he should have walked on a flat asphalt road, although there were twists and turns, there were ups and downs, but after all, it was the scenery he was familiar with. But at this moment, I seem to have inadvertently glimpsed a strange new world.

What should I do? The black-robed girl hadn't gone far yet, looking at her back, Sun Suhe took a deep breath. On an early autumn afternoon, the air was hot and dry, and Sun Suhe smelled the temptation of danger.

At the scene of the jump, the yellow and white cordon surrounded the place. Many reporters and pedestrians who rushed to hear the news stood outside the line and probed their heads to see the truth. At this moment, a police car roared up.

As soon as You Hero got out of the car, a group of reporters immediately swarmed him up and surrounded him.

You Yingying was already irritable in his heart, there was no need to be pretentious, his expression was already a little hideous, and he was impatient to entangle with the reporters at this time, his eyes swept coldly, and with his sturdy figure wearing a police uniform with a tight-fitting effect, he suddenly bluffed several reporters unconsciously took a step back.

Taking advantage of their lack of reaction, You Hero pushed aside the crowd and went straight to the scene.

The police who arrived at the scene first had already greeted him, and You Yingying asked eagerly, "How is the situation?"

The forensic doctor handed over the record in his hand and pointed to the office building next to him, "The deceased is a sales executive of a company upstairs, and the cause of death is preliminarily inferred to be a fall from the building, as for the specific situation, we need to go back for an autopsy to be determined." ”

You Yingying looked at the corpse, and the faint smell of blood in the air made him feel heavy, "What did the witnesses say, have the surveillance been transferred?"

"It seems that no one saw the process of falling from the building, and they all said that they heard the sound and found that someone jumped off the building, and the nearby surveillance brothers have already gone to tune it. ”

You Yingying quickly flipped through the records in his hand, and suddenly, his eyes froze, pointing to one of the records, and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "When was the body discovered?"

"Four thirteen p.m. ”

Sure enough, it was four o'clock, and sure enough, it was thirteen points!

You Yingying sneered in his heart, returned the record in his hand to the forensic doctor, and walked towards the police car without looking back.

There is no point in staying here anymore.

He knew that his terrible baseless assumptions were correct, and that there was no doubt that it was a murder. However, he also knew that the result of the autopsy must be suicide by jumping off the building, and there was no useful thing to be found on the surveillance, no matter how much effort was spent on the investigation, the final conclusion could only be suicide, and the truth was covered up by solid evidence.

After being a police officer for so many years and accustomed to seeing murderous criminals that ordinary people can't imagine, You Yingying originally thought that he had already been insulated from weakness. But this time, thinking of the opponent he was about to face, his seamless methods, and his seemingly unstoppable evil deeds, You Yingying felt fear and powerlessness deep in his heart for the first time in a long time.

However, the tragic death of his friend Nanxue turned this weakness into a fiery rage.

"Whoever you are, brute, let's get started. ”
