It has been raining in recent days, accompanied by a thick humidity and gloom, and the night has gradually been pulled apart. Qiao Yixia held a jet-black umbrella in her left hand, which could almost envelop her. The waist-length hair is like a pure stream, lifted by the breeze. She has a pair of eyes that are brighter than gemstones, eyelashes like fluttering butterfly wings, and the beauty of the eyes is amazing.

"The murderer is demonstrating to us, demonstrating! Do you understand? He regarded human life as a mustard, and threw corpses six times in a week, do you know what that means? This means that we may soon have a seventh discovery! ”

"Shut up if you understand, I don't want to hear you say any high-sounding reasons, half a month, I will only give you half a month, and you can't solve the case within half a month, all of you eight groups of people, all pack up my things and get out!"

In the evening, she stood at the desk of the high bureau with the stone team, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread through the window, blurring the dark yellow of the room. Shi Wei is the captain of the serious crime team, and she is in the prime of her life, and she is the deputy captain, who has not been in office for too long, but she easily solved two theft cases with her extraordinary intelligence. Shi Wei is an upright man, but his temperament is too straight, fearless, and he can't hide his words in his heart. The consequences were obvious, and Gao Ju was furious and set a deadline for the eight groups of people.

That murderer is ruthless and inhumane, Qiao Yixia doesn't want to bring him to justice, but in this city where a random stone can be thrown at three people, it is no less difficult to lock on a specific target than looking for a needle in a haystack. She is a little clever, and there is a young female police officer named Bai Ying in the group who calls her the detective police flower, at first everyone took it as a joke, but over time, they all called it that. However, she is very transparent in her heart, and the reason why she is able to solve cases that are difficult for others to solve is not because of how smart she is, but because she knows how to empathize and make herself "immersive". Others would wonder who the murderer was, and she would think, if I was the murderer. Only by understanding the inner world of the murderer can we gain insight into the murderer's motives and find out the key points to solve the case.

The change of people's feelings, just like the weather, is still sunny in the afternoon, but it has evolved into the current rain. Elusive.

What is the purpose of the murderer this time? Whether the cruel method of mutilating the corpse is for money, or just to vent the strong resentment and resentment in his heart.

With the sound of the movement of "Hungarian Rhapsody", Qiao Yixia's scattered thoughts were pulled back, speaking of which, although Qiao Yixia is majestic in front of people, but in private he is an out-and-out literary young man, like Lin Qingxuan's prose collection, like Iwai Shunji's movies, and like Franzliszt's piano music. In her words, life on weekdays is exciting enough, and there must always be some soft places in her heart that act as a haven for relaxation.

"Nianwei."

"Yi Xia, is that my brother my brother, is it impossible for my brother to come back?" Although I couldn't see the expression of the girl on the other end of the phone, I could feel the great grief in her heart through the tone, "I can't eat or sleep for the past two days, I'm sad and scared, I'm afraid." I don't know if I was right or wrong to choose to report the crime. ”

It can be heard that she is a strong girl, even in the face of this kind of thing, she still tries her best to restrain her feelings, although she is sad, but she remains calm, Qiao Yixia brushed her broken hair behind her ear and said, "Nianwei, you don't have to be afraid." I have already told Bai Ying and Shang Lu that they will keep you safe. ”

"I'm fine, I'm just worried about my father. My mother is gone, and my brother is ...... I can't afford to lose my father again. ”

"Don't worry, although we can't confirm whether it's your brother or not, we will definitely give you an explanation." Qiao Yixia's tone was calm, trying to comfort her on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was not steady.

The drizzle that was still falling just now came to an abrupt end as the phone hung up, and Qiao Yixia put away the umbrella and recalled the scene in the morning. The glamorous girl who always liked to dress up had her hair scattered and thick dark circles hidden under her eyes, they were high school classmates and friends for many years, but Qiao Yixia never thought that they would face each other at the place where she worked.

Chen Nianwei said that she had made a lot of determination before she dared to report the case. On the one hand, she was afraid of startling the snake, but on the other hand, she was really concerned about her brother's safety. But Chen Nianwei's love in the morning was obviously not very stable, perhaps it was the oppressive environment that added a bit of tension to her, making her, who had always been sharp-toothed, stumbling.

Qiao Yixia suddenly froze and looked at the time on his watch, nine and fifteen, fortunately, it should still be in time. Then he stretched out his hand on the side of the road and stopped a taxi: "Qingyan Community." ”

The warm yellow light sprinkled evenly and softly on Qiao Yixia's body, and the air was filled with a strong smell of perfume, Chen Nianwei put the ceramic teacup where the tea was brewed on the edge of the coffee table closer to Qiao Yixia, and then sat on the other side of the sofa, his hands clenched, and his face was pale.

"I've found 11,000,000 reasons to console myself, it's definitely not my brother."

"I know you don't like that cramped atmosphere." So when Shi Wei wanted to keep her there to make a record in the morning, although she didn't refuse, she couldn't speak in an orderly manner, Qiao Yixia didn't want to embarrass her, so she persuaded Shi Wei to let her go back.

People can't accurately control their own thinking under high pressure, maybe at home, Chen Nianwei's mood is calmer, and what he says is more valuable for reference.

Understanding Qiao Yixia's intentions, Chen Nian took a deep breath, frowned and closed his eyes: "Actually, I moved out ten days ago, and my father asked for it. As you know, my mother passed away many years ago, and after graduating from college, I didn't stay out of town, but chose to find a job here, so that I could be with my dad and not make him feel lonely. ”

"But a while ago, my dad suddenly seemed to be a different person, he became silent and irritable."

"Grumpy?" Qiao Yixia asked rhetorically.

Chen Nianwei nodded: "I make all three meals at home, originally he had a very strong taste, and liked to eat salty and spicy food, but I don't know why, he suddenly didn't like chili peppers, and when he ate, he would pick some light green vegetables to eat, and sometimes I would give him other dishes, and he would get angry and break chopsticks." Even so, he refused to say a word. ”

"Uncle, did he encounter anything unpleasant at work?" Qiao Yixia had met Chen Nianwei's father, Chen Anhe, and in her impression, Chen Anhe was a gentle gentleman, long in stature, and erudite. is a well-known local psychiatrist, listening to Chen Nianwei's words, Chen Anhe seems to have been mentally stimulated, but as a psychiatrist, it is really strange that he has such a sudden change.

"I don't know." Chen Nianwei's voice was slightly choked, "Dad was obviously in a good mood the day before, and kept saying that there was good news, I asked him what it was, and he refused to tell me, but he didn't come back the next day, I didn't dare to call him all the time for fear of disturbing his work, and when he came back, it was like a completely different person." ”

Qiao Yixia looked at Chen Nianwei, whose eyes were lowered, and asked tentatively, "Uncle, have you fallen asleep?" ”

"I've moved back since my brother and nanny disappeared. I felt like my whole home smelled of danger, and I couldn't let my only loved one have an accident anymore. ”

The word nanny attracted Qiao Yixia's attention, and when Chen Nianwei went to report the case in the morning, he only mentioned his younger brother, but never mentioned the nanny. Just as Qiao Yixia wanted to continue asking, Chen Nianwei suddenly changed from choking to sobbing quietly, tears rolling down her cheeks, she bent down slightly, and covered the tears on her face with her hands. Qiao Yixia got up and sat beside her, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her a few words, she could understand Chen Nianwei's feelings, her mother died early, her brother was missing, and her father was insane. She was much less fortunate than the girls of her age.

Out of favor, Qiao Yixia knew that she couldn't continue to ask, and it was not too early, so Qiao Yixia only told her to rest early and left. It was close to eleven o'clock when I returned to the apartment, Qiao Yixia's income was not low, and the apartment environment was very good. When the elevator reached the eleventh floor, the voice-activated lights were not on, and she subconsciously turned left to open the door, but unexpectedly touched a person in the dark.

"Mom!"

The person who made this cry was not Qiao Yixia, but the person she touched. Qiao Yixia was not afraid, but she was shocked by this scream, but fortunately, the sound was loud enough, and the lights were overflowing, and she could see his face clearly, otherwise she might have swung it directly with a punch.

"Stone team?" Qiao Yixia asked with a slight frown.

"No, where have you been, I called you more than a dozen times and you didn't answer, I thought something was wrong with you. Zhencheng, just came back, and I fell asleep in a daze. Shi Wei obviously hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and he exhaled deeply after finishing speaking.

Qiao Yixia subconsciously took out her mobile phone, only to find that she had accidentally muted it, but at about nine o'clock, she received a call from Chen Nianwei, and she didn't find any missed calls, it seems that Shi Wei called her after ten o'clock. Shi Wei saw that she didn't speak, and continued: "Okay, it's okay, then hurry up and open the door and go in." I'll tell you something. ”
