"Oh, Xiao Su, you're late, we're almost finished."

Seeing Wu Ansu pull up the cordon and walk into the scene, Wu Yingying, who was squatting on the ground, got up and greeted her with a smile.

Wu Ansu greeted him briefly, and then went straight to the point: "Team Wu, what's the situation here?" ”

"Let's go, let's go out and talk, don't spoil the scene."

Wu Yingying took Wu Ansu out of the cordon, came to the police car and picked up a box of cigarettes from the windshield, took out one and lit it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then said: "About two hours ago, there was a young child, who had no money to go online, so he pondered stealing a manhole cover and selling it for money...... Oh, it's not an exaggerated rhetoric, it's really peeing. ”

"Team Wu, please get to the point, don't always say something inconsequential."

Wu Ansuto rubbed his temples with his elbow, this Captain Wu is not bad at all, it is a joke regardless of the occasion, every time she faces this Captain Wu, she has a feeling of facing the middle-aged version of Li Mengnan.

"The point? What's the point of that? You are also a criminal investigation graduate, and you should know that this kind of corpse mutilation case is not the point until the identity of the deceased is determined.

Of course, there are still some clues.

The murderer who committed the crime was very amateurish, and the method of dismembering the body was very rough, completely chopped with an axe, but he was also very cunning, and knew that the body was thrown separately, and only the upper body part was found so far, and the head and waist down have not been found.

The deceased was male, and judging from the bones and skin, the age of the deceased was probably between 40 and 45, and there was not much fat on the abdomen.

Judging from the decomposition of the corpses, the time of death should have been very close, most likely no more than twenty-four hours.

There were many bruises and signs of damage on the surface of the deceased's body, which should have been beaten before death, or it could be the cause of death. ”

Wu Ansu nodded, Wu Yingying's words were not wrong, now finding the rest of the corpse pieces and determining the identity of the deceased is the top priority.

"Have you sent someone to find the rest of the corpses?"

"Murder and dismemberment of corpses is a vicious case, who dares to drag it out? The bureau has almost scattered all the idle police forces, and I don't know when the results will be ......"

Generally speaking, due to the weight of the body itself, the place chosen by the murderer to dump the body is not very far away, and it often has a certain regularity.

However, there will be special circumstances in everything, and it is not excluded that the murderer hid the body extremely hidden, so if you want to find it, you can only rely on luck.

"Is there any special markings on the existing sections?"

"Actually, we were lucky, the deceased had an old knife wound about 30 centimeters long on his left shoulder, and if we couldn't find any other body parts, we might have to rely on this scar to issue a notice of identification."

Wu Ansu nodded, she could only hope in her heart that the deceased was a local resident, not an outsider, otherwise the bureau's archives would probably have another headless case.

……

Turning his head to Li Mengnan.

After forging ten used condoms with half a Wangzi Bingbing last night, it was already past ten o'clock in the night, and the school had already been closed, and Li Mengnan didn't want to spend more money to open a room, so he called a taxi and went back to the newly rented house to deal with it for the night.

The source of the illusion force field, the "Thunder Quenching Wood Crystal" had already been "sealed" by him, and he naturally slept peacefully this night, and the mysterious footsteps in the rumors did not appear.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Mengnan was not in a hurry to return to school, although the house was rented, after all, it had been uninhabited for a long time, water, electricity, gas, cable TV and everything needed to be turned on again, and there was a computer with unknown configuration in the room, and it would be a bit too wasteful not to open a network.

Fortunately, the daily necessities in the room were sufficient, saving him the trouble of buying household items.

Two days later, that is, Sunday, is his mother Xiao Hui's birthday, and he wants to save the matter of renting a house until that day to reveal it, so as to surprise everyone.

In the morning, I went to the jewelry store in the city, and specially ordered a silver ring to place the "Lei Quenching Wood Crystal", considering that the day after tomorrow was his mother's birthday, and it was the first time he gave Xiao Hui a birthday, so he always wanted to give a decent gift, so he simply ordered a gold necklace.

I heard Bao'er say that her mother used to have a set of gold jewelry, which is said to be the dowry when she got married, and later sold it in order to make up money for Bao'er's treatment.

Li Mengnan ordered this gold necklace to make up for his mother's regret.

Things are always easier said than done.

Running around the city by car, opening those necessary services one by one, the most troublesome thing is cleaning.

Although Li Mengnan often uses the bug-level ability of "deception technique" to be lazy to wash clothes or something, he is powerless to clean such a large room.

You know, this is not a small space of only about ten square meters in the bedroom, upstairs and downstairs are all counted but more than 220 square meters, if you count the roof and attic, the total area will directly break 300.

In addition to the miscellaneous furniture, electrical appliances, and daily necessities in the room, Li Mengnan couldn't remember the placement of everything even if his head exploded, unless he wanted to empty the room instantly, he could only clean it step by step in the most traditional way.

To be honest, for Li Mengnan, tiredness is not the biggest problem, the real problem is time.

This is not moving, as long as you have a lot of strength, move a few more pieces at a time, you can do it quickly, cleaning this kind of thing, even if he is three heads and six arms, he has to wipe one by one, one by one.

To clean the whole house in such a short period of time is simply an impossible task for him alone.

It's still the same old saying - he is a trickster, not a magician, and no matter how great his ability is, he can't go against the sky.

This is probably the sorrow of being a mortal, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to break through the hurdle set by God after all.

Being able to associate the profound philosophy of life from cleaning to the sky, Li Mengnan suddenly felt that his thinking was a little too much.

But then again, perhaps the only thing that human beings will not be limited by the heavens is the edge of their thinking.

The topic is far away.

Considering that there is no room for flaws in this kind of thing, Li Mengnan decided to simply find a foreign aid.

Mathematically speaking, the change from one to two may seem insignificant, but it can cut the time by half.

This is enough, after all, Li Mengnan doesn't want to make a big deal about renting a house.

The trio of cattle in the dormitory was vetoed at the first time, and it was okay to let these goods sell coolies, and it was better to kill them directly if they did the meticulous work of cleaning the room.

Wu Ansu is a good candidate, but it seems that she has been very busy recently, and Li Mengnan decided not to bother her after thinking about it.

Leyouyou? asked the family to contribute money and efforts, even Li Mengnan felt that he seemed to be a little bit of a thing, not to mention, this eldest lady's appearance of ten fingers not touching the spring water, it is estimated that even if she comes, she will only help.

Isn't there a reliable person?

Li Mengnan rummaged through the address book on his phone, and suddenly patted his head - yes, how did he forget Qingche's little Lori!

From the orderly appearance of Qingche's home, it can be seen that this little Lori is very good at housework, and these two days are school days off, she must have time, who don't look for her?

Dialing Qingche's phone, the little Lori seemed to be working in the dessert shop last time, but when she heard that Li Mengnan was going to ask her to help clean the room, she immediately asked for leave without saying a word and ran out.

About half an hour later, Li Mengnan received a text message from Qing Che, saying that he had arrived downstairs, and he hurriedly went downstairs to pick up Qing Che.

"Wow, Monnango, this is the house you rented? This...... It's too big and pretty, isn't it? How much does this month cost? ”

As soon as Qing Che entered the door, she was immediately shocked by the spacious space and luxurious decoration inside, she thought that Li Mengnan was renting just a set of ordinary three-bedroom apartments, but she never expected that it would be a set of more than 200 square meters.

"Money is secondary, the key is to make the family happy......

This sounds suspicious of pretending to be a beep, but Li Mengnan is really embarrassed to say that it is a "haunted house" that uses a thousand yuan to pick up the rent that has been missed.

After all, he had "met frankly" with Li Mengnan, and made a so-called "substitute girlfriend" agreement, Qing Che was quickly released from his restraints, and curiously visited the rooms upstairs and downstairs one by one.

Especially the big rooftop on the second floor, this little girl's eyes were straight when she first found out that there was such a good place, and she ran around on the empty rooftop like a happy puppy, standing excitedly in front of the guardrail on the edge and yelling at the city in the distance.

Li Mengnan dragged two folding recliners from the passage leading to the rooftop, put a sun umbrella in the middle, took out the drink he just bought from the refrigerator, handed it to Qing Che who was resting on it, and said with a smile: "You seem to like it very much?" ”

"My dream house has a rooftop so that I can put a swing on it, raise some flowers and plants, sit under the grape trellis and read a book when I am free, and occasionally have an alfresco dinner here looking at the stars...... Monango, your rooftop is bigger than I imagined, I love it so much! ”

In fact, even if Qing Che didn't say it, Li Mengnan could see that she loved this place, and this little girl's appearance at the moment was almost lying on the ground crying and rolling with emotion.

After the excitement, Qingche's face obviously showed a little loss, and he sighed softly and said, "I am no longer envious of Bao'er now, I have begun to be a little jealous...... I'm not as good as her, I can have a brother like you, love her, protect her, and let her live in such a beautiful big house...... I...... I ......"

I don't know why, Qing Che never felt how miserable she was before, even in the face of Xiao Baoer, she could talk and laugh calmly, but now she is more and more inferior in front of this once good and friendly best friend.

They all live in the poorest shanty town in the city, and they all have a father who is not angry, but Xiao Bao'er has an older brother like Li Mengnan who will always bring miracles and hope, and she has nothing.

"Give."

When Qing Che was feeling sorry for herself, Li Mengnan suddenly pinched a shiny little thing with her fingers and stretched it out in front of her eyes, she subconsciously reached out to catch it, but found that it was a key.

"There are five keys to this house, one for me, one for Minnie Baby and one for my mother, plus this one, it's just ......."

Qing Che didn't expect Li Mengnan to suddenly give her a room key, and she was a little at a loss for a while, and waved her hand again and again: "This ...... How can this work? No, Monango, this is the key to your house, I can't take it! ”

Having said that, the little girl's expression still showed a hint of struggle, and her eyes glanced over the key from time to time, obviously very reluctant.

The little girl's delicate expression of duplicity couldn't help but make Li Mengnan laugh for a while, but he didn't mean to tease Qingche, but really wanted to give her this key, so he said: "Don't think about it so much, the key has to have a spare, and I have no other place to put the extra one, so I can't lock it at home, then it will lose its due meaning." ”

"Oh? I think so...... That...... I'll keep it for you. ”

Qing Che reacted at this time, Brother Meng Nan just wanted to find a safe place to put a spare key, and he didn't mean anything else, as if he was thinking too much.

Seeing Qing Che accept the key, Li Mengnan nodded approvingly and continued: "You also know that your sister Minnie and I live on campus, and we can only come back for two days on weekends, and there are usually only two people at home...... I've checked the map, it's very close to where you and Bao'er go to school, and it's only fifteen minutes away on foot, anyway, there are many rooms here, and things are ready-made, so you can choose a room later, and you can often come over to accompany Bao'er in the future, and you can also come to take a nap or something at noon. ”

Li Mengnan's purpose of giving Qing Che the key is naturally not so simple, he actually wants Qing Che to have a safe haven where she can hide from domestic violence, and the less time she spends at home, the less chance she will be harmed.

Until he finds a better solution, there is only so much he can help Qingche.

People's psychological defenses are broken little by little, if Li Mengnan asked Qing Che to choose a room here at the beginning, this little girl would definitely not agree, but now that she accepted the key, and promised to come to accompany Xiao Bao'er and Xiao Hui from time to time, it seems that it is reasonable to choose a temporary room.

"That'...... All right. ”

Qing Che always felt that there was something wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong, so she simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, she did like it very much, and she also believed that Li Mengnan couldn't lie to her about anything.

And even if it is really a lie, as long as Li Mengnan can always be so good to her, she is willing to be deceived.

According to Li Mengnan's plan, the entire second floor is where the female dependents of the family live, and he lives on the first floor, which can minimize the inconvenience of various accesses.

Although Qingche does not belong to her own family, she is also a girl after all, and the room is naturally arranged on the second floor.

The largest bedroom on the second floor with a sunny face and a separate bathroom is naturally reserved for Xiao Hui.

Among the remaining three rooms, Qing Che chose the smallest room and the farthest from the bathroom.

Qing Che would make such a choice completely unexpectedly for Li Mengnan, and this incident once again proved that this little girl is indeed a good girl who knows how to be polite and knows how to advance and retreat.

The house was originally designed for two people, so although there were more than a dozen rooms, there were only two beds.

One is the two-meter-two-wide double bed in the master bedroom on the second floor, while the other is a sofa bed that appears to be used for a makeshift nap in the study on the first floor.

Li Mengnan also found out about this embarrassing thing when he was going to help Qing Che clean up the house first, some things really can't be solved just by thinking, it seems that after cleaning, it is necessary to go to the furniture market.

When he really got to work, Li Mengnan suddenly found that asking Qing Che to help was really the wisest decision he had ever made.

This little girl doesn't look old, but Cheng Dù, who is skilled in housework, is simply human-level, it can be said that in terms of housework, she has passed the stage where practice makes perfect, and she can be called miraculous.

Li Mengnan saw with his own eyes that this little girl could actually wash dishes with one hand, wipe the cupboards with the other, open the bow left and right, and make different movements with both hands without a little confusion at all.

That's not a big deal alone, this little girl has an even more magical ability, no matter what kind of stains she wipes, she only needs to look at it to roughly determine how many times it can be wiped clean, and even the wetting process of the rag will be taken into account, and the stain will be wiped off in the shortest time, and there will be almost no water marks left at the same time.

This is highly efficient, it is almost one can top three, Li Mengnan estimates that even if he doesn't help, Qing Che can completely clean this house in one day.

It's no wonder that this little girl's reaction is half a beat slower than others, shouldn't she focus all her talent and skill points on the item of "housework specialization"......

The two of them were busy all afternoon, and finally cleaned the second floor with a new look, and according to this progress, it should be completed in another day tomorrow.

Let the family do the work all afternoon, I have to invite dinner to express my gratitude, although Qing Che repeatedly postponed, but was still dragged by Li Mengnanqiang to a small restaurant for dinner.

"Your dad isn't coming back tonight?" While eating, Li Mengnan suddenly asked Qing Che.

"Huh? Monango, how do you know? ”

Qingche was very surprised, she remembered that she didn't seem to have said it.

"Don't you know you have a habit? The closer you get to your dad's return, the more time you'll look at your phone...... And you haven't looked at your phone once since you came in, so that's why I guessed so. ”

Li Mengnan smiled, in fact, this is a habit that many people will have, but Qingche's habit is only for her father.
