There was a fire in the darkness.

The sparks of cigarette butts are bright and dark.

The fingers holding the cigarette glowed metallicly in the flames, and the stubble lips took the cigarette in its mouth and sipped it into the mouth.

"The body was found?"

As the smoke drifted up, someone suddenly asked.

"How will you find it?"

Someone next to him asked.

"How many times have I said not to answer questions with questions, what I want to know is who found the body...... Isn't there someone watching that place, people!"

He took a puff of his cigarette, and the spark suddenly brightened, illuminating the smoker's forehead, and the two slightly crooked eyebrows were tightly frowned together.

"I just asked, someone stole the body, and the other person seemed to know part of our operation. ”

This is an unplanned emergency, and now that the body has been sent to the police station, it is too late to recover, so it can only be continued.

"But I thought it didn't matter, since he was always going to show up, what's the difference between appearing here and appearing there?"

Boom~

The metal trash can rubbed wet marks on the floor, and someone grabbed another person by the collar.

"Go back and soak your stiff brain in hot water for a few hours, these two places can be the same, the two people who originally came from the Archaeological Association were going down according to the script we arranged, and they could drive these two troublesome guys back tonight, but now that this kind of thing happens, all the plans for the next will have to change, and also, where did this person who stole the corpse come from, and how did he know about our plan?"

The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, not from shyness, but from anger.

"Could it be the people of that night...... I haven't been able to find his body, I always think something will be wrong, should someone search the town of Hesai, our surveillance ......"

"Now the point is not to find someone, there are still two people watching outside, you send people out now, it is equivalent to exposing yourself, you must get the two of them away first, since the painter can't use it, then find another one, the plan goes on as usual. ”

It is easy to show the backs when making a new plan temporarily, so it is better to continue without changing the soup, so that you can have a look.

"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements. ”

"Wait, you stay here for a while, I need you to cooperate with me to stabilize those two first. ”

Shake off the cigarette butt, and the only remaining flash of fire disappears into the trash can.

**

The diced potatoes floated in the milky white broth, and the rich aroma mixed with the heat rose between Zhu Jue and Olivia as the pale ribs swirled together.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the police station with the body from the artist's residence, and while the forensic doctor in Hesai Town was examining the body to obtain data, the two went to the police station cafeteria to prepare something to eat to fill their stomachs.

"Two chiefs, I'll leave your raincoat here, there will be a lot of people in the cafeteria later, and it's easy to get confused. ”

The young man in the chef's uniform carried a plastic basket and put it on the table of the two, the water on the raincoat was drained, and the broken leaves that Zhu Jue had stained when he was running in the jungle before were gone, and he should have disposed of it before bringing it in.

"The painter's house was searched two days ago, and I paid attention to the bed when you were moving the body, there were obvious water stains on it, not obvious on the floor, but if you look closely, you can see some marks, which means that his body was put in in the last two days...... Who's going to put the body of a suspect back?"

Olivia asked in a low voice as she swept her eyes over the empty cafeteria around her, with a vegetable salad and a small plate of fries in front of her.

"The other party was nearby when I arrived at the artist's house, and he smashed the window with a stone to remind me, for fear that I would not know where the body was?"

Forked a piece of potato, chewed two bites, suddenly seemed to think of something, frowned, and then waved the fork in his hand, and continued,

"What I just said is not right, normally speaking, since there is going to be a search, I must go to every room, and under the circumstances at that time, even if no one reminds me, I will pass, and that stone may not be a reminder to me....... Rather, he wants to show me his presence!"

If you simply want Zhu Jue to see the corpse, the other party can leave early, there is no need to do more, deliberately use this method to prompt, in Zhu Jue's opinion, there is no doubt that he has ulterior motives.

"According to the previous inference, the painter is very likely to be the murderer, but he is now dead, and his death is unknown...... What does it mean for the other party to put the body back in his house, and the person who is squatting outside the door of the painter's house, who is he waiting for?"

Around the artist's residence, clues keep appearing, but they are like a mess of threads, seemingly hiding key information, but if you really want to start investigating, you find that you can't start.

"Tut-tut~ I didn't expect that being a member of your archaeological association has such high requirements for personal quality, and it is not enough to be able to fight, and you have to learn to be a detective, which is really annoying. ”

Scratching his somewhat messy hair that had just been pressed by the raincoat, Zhu Jue complained helplessly.

"How can there be an easy thing for the archaeological society...... But this time it's a bit strange, so far, not to mention that we haven't even seen the spiritual pollution source monster that exists in Hesai Town, and we haven't even seen any information about it. ”

Since coming to Hesai Town, the two of them have been running around, seemingly very busy, but in fact most of them are useless, not to mention Olivia's side, if it weren't for this sudden accident, Zhu Jue would probably have found nothing in the painter's residence.

"The breakthrough is still in the painter's corpse, as long as we find out who killed him and who sent his body back, there should be a lot of progress. ”

This is the most likely important clue to unearth the information of the case at present, and it is also the key point for the two of them to continue their investigation.

"I'm done eating, let's go to the corpse first, you can come over later, I'll take the raincoat for you." ”

Perhaps it was Zhu Jue's words that reminded Olivia, who hurriedly ate a few bites, picked up the plastic basket and walked out, this was her first field mission, and she was obviously very concerned.

"Hey, I don't know the way, let's go!"

Picking up the potato and pork rib soup and following Olivia, Zhu Jue didn't want to sit alone in this cold cafeteria and eat.

When I walked to the door, I still had to talk to the people here, but when Zhu Jue turned his head, he found that the entire cafeteria was still empty.

Didn't you say that there would be a lot of people coming?

**

"Mr. Bart, I want to know how the case is going, I heard that you found a body?"

"Yes, the body of the suspect painter. ”

"Does that mean the case can be closed?"

"No, of course not, Mr. Mayor, we have not yet determined who killed the suspect, the painter's body suddenly appeared at his residence......"

"Bart, the murderer has been found, and the victim's family has also given an explanation, what else do you want to do, Hesai Town has only developed to this point today by relying on the name of safety and harmony, and now that the people from the Archaeological Association are here, if we are also rated as a C-level danger zone, do you think there is still a need for Hesai Town to exist?"

"I think the safety of the people is the most important thing, and since I am the chief of police, I must be responsible to the people!"

......

This is the conversation that Zhu Jue and Olivia happened to hear when they came to the vicinity of the forensic office in the police station.

The attitude of the two could not be more obvious.

An upright and kind police chief and a mayor eager to maintain the town's apparent peace.

"Now TV dramas don't do it like that, I didn't expect to see this kind of combination here. ”

Zhu Jue stood behind the corner, looked at Olivia with a narrow face, and said,

"Do you know what's popular now? Belly black stream, that is, no matter where the guy comes out, the more upright he is on the surface, the darker his heart will be when he cuts it!"

"These two people were discussing before we came, they can't be unpredictable prophets, as for the appearance of integrity, cut into the heart black...... Are you talking about yourself?"

Olivia raised an eyebrow and asked,

"If you say that, beware of me suing you for slander. ”

Expressionlessly, he nibbled on a piece of ribs, minced meat still lingering between his teeth.
