"Officer Tao, if the test results come out and it turns out that I am allergic, can you please keep it secret for me?" This is the third phone call Lawyer Liu made to Tao Ran, and the central idea is still "I hate to travel back half an hour ago and chop off the hand I called you."

Tao Ran sighed helplessly, feeling that this lawyer Liu was probably indeed a little nervous.

Lawyer Liu then babbled: "Otherwise, I really won't be able to mix in this industry in the future, what do you say I am doing?" But don't tell anyone else, my net worth and life are in your hands. ”

Tao Ran had to make a guarantee for the third time, and almost swore to sign the pledge, but the lawyer who was looking forward to it finally reluctantly agreed, and immediately sent the tie to the city bureau for testing.

After sending this one away, Tao Ran turned around and smiled at the girl in the back seat of the car very reluctantly: "I'm sorry." ”

He was tragically disturbed by Lawyer Liu in the middle of watching the movie, when the movie happened to be played at the point where the hero and heroine turned their faces - together with the girls of other families, they withdrew in tears and complained to each other, which was really an unlucky beginning for a blind date.

The girl didn't say anything, maybe she was scolding the street in her heart, but she didn't show up, and she said very understandingly: "If you're busy, you don't have to send me - master, please stop me at the subway entrance in front of me, and then you can send him to go first." ”

Tao Ran's ears were a little red—completely embarrassed: "It's not ...... Not too ......"

"It's okay, we often get caught working overtime on weekends." The girl said, "Besides, we only work overtime for the boss, and you are still working for public safety - I also saw the murder case of the rich second generation on the Internet, you have to solve the case quickly." ”

Tao Ran stammered a little: "No, no, it's not necessarily the rich second generation, it's still ...... Still...... The killer was not identified. ”

While speaking, the taxi had already arrived at the subway entrance, and the driver stopped the car with a smile, waiting for the girl to wave goodbye to Tao Ran.

Before leaving, the girl remembered something, and turned back to him and said, "It's nice to see old classmates in other places, but the way we meet is a little awkward." ”

If there was a crack in the ground, Tao Ran would definitely jump in without looking back.

What is the probability of being in a foreign country, going on a blind date to a high school classmate? What is the probability that a high school classmate happens to be a crush back then?

Of course, this is not something to be thankful about, even if he meets Audrey Hepburn, he still has to leave the girl at this moment and go back to work overtime.

It wasn't until he watched the girl walk into the subway station that his intelligence, which had been disturbed by Yan zhòng, returned to the mean line, and Deputy Captain Tao took a breath and shook the porridge in his brain vigorously, trying to make them turn back to normal brains and refocus on the case.

The taxi driver looked at him coldly and came to a conclusion: "Young man, I see that you have a play." ”

Tao Ran smiled bitterly: "Master, turn around in front and go to the city bureau." ”

The driver's master, a middle-aged and elderly man, is not a big deal to see the excitement, and is very interested in the emotional entanglement between men and women and the "rich second-generation murder incident", and wants to catch Tao Ran to chat, until this meeting, Tao Ran regretted a little that he refused to borrow a car from his two bastard friends. In order to shut up the words next to him, he had to pretend to be drowsy, plug in headphones for himself, and open an app with a sound casually, blocking his ears.

The audiobook in the headphones flowed into his ears in the leisurely background music: "......'If I despise myself,' Yu Lian replied coldly, "What do I have left?" ’……”

It's a very niche audiobook platform — there aren't a few bestsellers in it, most of them are old-fashioned classics, and some hypnotic prose is usually played randomly, and only users who submit their posts as "readers" can watch them on demand.

The "reader" has to submit a large section of the original appreciation of the work, which is selected by the editor, and the platform will play the audiobook he clicked, and share his appreciation article with other listeners after the playback.

Tao Ran didn't listen to the content too seriously, but just used the music inside to isolate the noise and organize his thoughts.

The taxi quickly drove on the auxiliary road and was about to arrive at the city bureau, Tao Ran was about to close the audiobook, when he heard the end of the sentence: "Then, the famous French writer Stendhal's "Red and Black", we will play it for you here, and the following is to share the appreciation article of the friend whose ID is 'Reciter'. ”

This ID name was like a thunderbolt, slamming Tao Ran in place-

Friday night was supposed to be nice and relaxing, with the city full of people welcoming the weekend, but the city bureau was on their way to and halfway to overtime.

After receiving two phone calls from Tao Ran and Lang Qiao, Luo Wenzhou couldn't sit still in the hospital, and this idea happened to hit it off with Fei Du - Mr. Fei didn't have anything to do, he mainly disliked the poor conditions of public hospitals.

It was rare for the two to agree, and their action became doubled, Fei Du immediately called his assistant and asked someone to send a car, while Luo Wenzhou rubbed the car shamelessly again.

At this time, it was close to ten o'clock, Lang Qiao sent Luo Wenzhou a WeChat message to report the latest progress, and after reading it, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he opened his mouth without going to the village or the store: "The forensic doctor preliminarily judged that Chen Zhen died of a one-time drug overdose. ”

When listening to Luo Wenzhou's unilateral "chat" in the hospital, Fei Du roughly understood the causes and consequences of the scrapping of his car, and understood who this "Chen Zhen" meant.

There was no smell of blood around, the temperature in the car was suitable, Fei Du had just eaten the supper brought by the assistant, he steadily parked the car behind the zebra crossing and waited for the red light, and took advantage of the red light time to pick up the banana milk next to him and drink a few sips, the banana milk made him very calm, and replied: "It sounds a little strange - it doesn't seem to be very civilized." ”

When Luo Wenzhou heard the word "civilization", he couldn't help but glance at him: "I don't dare to have such high requirements for criminals." ”

Fei Du said: "No matter how bad people are, they are not willing to take risks at any time, such as those who want to kill you, and finally evolve into shooting guns on the street, because they have been exposed in front of you, and if you run away, they will die - because they are afraid of the result, so they become mad, this is cause and effect, and it will not be reversed casually, and it is difficult for real madmen to mix in society for a long time." ”

Regarding this, Luo Wenzhou is slightly similar to what he saw as a hero, because Wu Xuechun had confirmed with him that Chen Zhen was "safe", and if the girl did not lie at the time, it proved that at least when she witnessed it, the head of the sub-bureau did not want to kill. What's more, if the other party wanted to kill Chen Zhen and kill him from the beginning, he would not be allowed to talk to Wu Xuechun for so long.

But Chen Zhen died of a one-time drug overdose, which doesn't sound like an accident.

"It is possible that they did the injection drugs, but people who have been dealing with drugs all year round can not grasp the amount and kill people by mistake, which is very puzzling." Fei Du said unhurriedly, "If I am suspected of harboring a drug trafficking gang, and a stranger accidentally breaks in with a sensitive question to inquire blindly, I will definitely not kill him rashly." ”

As soon as Luo Wenzhou heard his tone of discussing the weather, his scalp was numb, but while he was numb, he also asked, "Then what?" ”

"The first step is to control the person, find out the details of him, find out the depth of his involvement, and whether there is anyone behind it, and then use drugs, violence, intimidation, threats and other means to break his will. When I know that the deceased has only just started contact with you, is not exactly your informant, and does not dare to fully trust you, and has a simple background and no relatives, I will proceed to the second step. "The second step is to force him to become addicted with a little bit of drugs, and when he is in a trance, repeatedly instill in him that you betrayed him, brainwashed him, and made him believe that you are complicit with those people." In this way, he can easily become full of despair, believing that there is no such thing as 'justice' in this world, and for people like him, the only way to survive is to learn to compromise. ”

Luo Wenzhou looked at him for a while and commented: "It's really a lack of great virtue." ”

Fei Du didn't care, and then said: "The third step, he has become addicted, and then start to give him a little sweetness, let him know that we are not so terrible, and we are full of humanistic care - this is right, to achieve the dual control of a person's mental and physical affairs, in the future, this person will be used by me, and when you try your best to get him out, I only need to sue him, we have a little conflict because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and we are rectifying each other, and he will become a nail that drives into your interior with hatred for you." ”

Maybe it was because the atmosphere between the two of them had just eased a little, or maybe it was because the smell of banana milk in the car made people uncomfortable, Luo Wenzhou didn't jump like thunder when he heard his strange remarks for the first time, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "If you break the law and discipline one day, we may indeed be in trouble." ”

Fei Du was noncommittal, but the next moment, he heard Luo Wenzhou say, "But you just."

Fei Du: "......"

How this reaction is different from usual.

Luo Wenzhou nodded to himself again, and said very kindly: "I should send you another pennant, is there anything else, and then come out for our reference." ”

Fei Du then kept his mouth shut tightly, and until he arrived at the Yancheng City Bureau, he didn't say another punctuation mark to him.

At the gate of the city bureau, as soon as Luo Wenzhou got out of the car, a police car rushed over and stopped next to him, and before the car stopped, Lang Qiao pounced: "Boss, Ma Xiaowei is gone!" ”

"Don't shout," Luo Wenzhou's back wound had just been stitched up, and he was still a little half-paralyzed, he took out a cigarette case with one hand, and said unhurriedly, "It's a good thing that people are gone." ”

Lang Qiao widened her eyes twice more, opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, suddenly, her gaze crossed Luo Wenzhou and fell not far behind him: "That, that's ......"

Luo Wenzhou turned around after the sound, only to see a cowering thin figure appear on the opposite side of the long street, looking in the direction of the city bureau, and another person came over and led him across the road.

Lang Qiao: "Ma Xiaowei and that little glasses with crooked legs!" ”

Xiao Haiyang finally replaced the broken glasses with new ones, and the somewhat dull square frame showed that he was a few years older, and he led Ma Xiaowei all the way to Luo Wenzhou: "Team Luo." ”

When Luo Wenzhou saw him, he didn't seem to be surprised, and nodded kindly: "Coming?" Let's go inside. ”

There was no weekend atmosphere in the city bureau at all, and the criminal investigation team and the forensic medicine department were busy with the autopsy, tie examination, witness questioning, and interrogation of prisoners.

When the group walked in with Ma Xiaowei, they happened to see He Mu patrolling the corridor. When she saw Luo Wenzhou, she fell on Ma Xiaowei with doubtful eyes.

Luo Wenzhou said to Ma Xiaowei: "That's He Zhongyi's." ”

Ma Xiaowei's originally listless footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at her with a frightened expression.

The thin woman and the haggard young man looked at each other, and for a while, it was about the appearance of the teenager that reminded her of her son, and Mother He asked Ma Xiaowei tentatively: "Are you...... Do you know my son? ”

Ma Xiaowei took half a step back.

"My family Zhongyi is a good boy, you know him, don't you?" Mother He took a step forward tremblingly, looked at Ma Xiaowei earnestly, looked at it, her tears "brushed" down, she stiffened her neck, and took a thin breath, "Who killed him?" Yes? Baby, tell Aunt Sù, who killed him? ”

Ma Xiaowei's eyes were red, and then he knelt on the ground with a "poof" without warning.

"Me, it's me!" He howled and cried, "I'm sorry for Brother Zhongyi, I'm sorry for you...... Sorry ......"
