"Sister Tong, this is the information that the Sa team asked you to bring, and he said that you should mark the suspicious points as soon as possible after reading it."

Li Zi put a stack of materials on Su Tong's desk, the little girl only graduated from the police academy in July this year, and was just assigned to the bureau as a clerk, and was asked by Xu Sa three days ago to be assigned to Su Tong as an assistant.

"Thank you for putting it here."

Su Tong smiled slightly, pinched the corners of her astringent eyes, and looked at Li Zi's youthful and beautiful face, she was a little distracted for a while.

It's only been five years since she graduated from college, but she feels like she's spent a long century.

The youth is still there, but the mood is as old as the twilight years.

In a corner of the office, Wang Dalu and He Zhang stopped what they were doing and glanced here.

"Lao Wang, did you say that the Sa team has taken a fancy to that girl, how do I think the atmosphere between the two of them is wrong."

He Zhang is the soul of the gossip of the famous serious crime team, don't look at it as a man, even the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are not his opponents when it comes to gossiping.

"Then who knows, but that girl's face and body are all first-class, and her appearance is very compatible with the sa team, but my old Wang is not convinced when she parachutes into our serious crime team, and I haven't seen how much ability she has."

Wang Dalu is a rough person, with a naturally loud voice, even if he lowers his voice, he can still be heard by half of the people in the office.

Su Tong pretended to be buried in her work and didn't hear anything, there was indeed something changed between her and Xu Sa after that day, the serious crime team is a place where people are gathered, and keen observation is one of the minimum necessary qualities.

In addition to the vase, I am afraid that I will have to bear the name of being in love.

Thinking that tomorrow the bureau will spread the scandal between himself and Xu Sa, Su Tong felt a faint throbbing pain in the corner of his forehead, and these old men still have thoughts and gossip in the big case, and they are really trained less by Xu Sa.

Flipping through the information folder at the top, the strong and chic line characters come into view, and the smooth and neat strokes of the dragon are as unrestrained as their owners.

After the touching kiss that day, Xu Sa helped Su Tong move down the physical evidence box as if nothing had happened.

Just like a few years ago, the two worked together to complete the reasoning of the simulated case, without any words, the two quickly entered their respective roles and worked together.

One person combs the context of the case, and the other summarizes the existing and hidden doubts.

The five-year estrangement seems to have never existed, and they are still the couple and partner who have a good tacit understanding.

In one night, the two of them went through the twelve tragic cases all over again, and what Li Zi sent was Xu Sa's second further screening on the basis of the first one.

What Su Tong has to do is to check and fill in the gaps after the re-screening, and at the same time cross-compare with the new cases.

There was a rush of running from far and near in the corridor, and Li Zi, who had just gone out, appeared at the door again, pounding his chest hard and gasping for breath, while looking frightened:

"Hurry, there is a new homicide case again, and the Sa team asks all the staff to gather and rush to the scene immediately."

Su Tong stood up suddenly, and the pen in his hand also rolled to the ground.

……

The latest homicide is still in a residential community, where the head of the No. 2 household on the fifth floor of the eighteen buildings is a family of five, ranging from the elderly in their 80s to the children of 7 and 8 years old.

When Su Tong arrived, the yellow isolation belt had been pulled up at the door of the residential building, and the crowd of onlookers were talking one after another, and their faces were full of panic and fear.

"Have you heard, something happened to the old Du family upstairs, and there was no one left alive from the old to the youngest."

"I heard that, that miserable, blood and water flowed down the stairs for several floors, and Lao Xue on the sixth floor got up early to go out to buy it early, walked on the fifth floor and slipped and rolled into a blood gourd, which was discovered."

"Hey, quietly, my boy's girlfriend lives in XX Garden, and there was another one more than a week ago, and the police didn't let me say it, so don't spread it!"

The shaped* voice penetrated into Su Tong's ears, and she followed the voice, but she could only see the same panicked expression, but she couldn't tell who said what.

The old-fashioned residential communities are all small high-rises, with the sixth floor capped, and you can only take stairs up and down.

When Su Tong walked to the third floor, he saw sticky dark red blood everywhere on the stairs, and the neighbors who called the police and the police who first arrived at the scene stepped on the bloody footprints everywhere, which invisibly brought greater difficulty and uncertainty to solving the case and collecting evidence.

"Su Tong, why are you stunned, go up!"

He Zhang saw Su Tong standing still, and slapped her on the shoulder with one hand to urge.

"But this scene ......"

Su Tong hesitated, and he couldn't step on his feet.

"The Sa team can call us over, which means that the scene on the periphery should be almost cleaned up, so you can rest assured that you can get on the ground, oh yes, remember to put on your shoe covers when you get to the door."

After He Zhang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front, Su Tong settled down, and then followed.

The further up you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, and the fewer places you can land.

There were not many people left at the scene of the crime, and the two forensic doctors each brought an assistant, constantly taking pictures and searching, Xu Sa squatted on the side of the bed, staring at the remains of a victim for a long time.

Su Tong has been a police officer for five years, and she has seen a lot of bloody scene photos in the case file, but she can't help but tremble at this moment, she is not afraid, but angry.

"What do you see?"

Xu Sa suddenly spoke, although he didn't specifically refer to it, Su Tong knew very clearly that he was asking himself.

"The murderer is provoking us."

Su Tong said with certainty.

The burglary is nothing more than seeking money, emotional entanglement and revenge, and after committing the crime, the scene will be more or less cleaned up and hidden, and this murderer has no way to cover up his behavior after committing the crime.

It's not that he can't, it's that he doesn't want to.

Each victim had been subjected to inhuman torture for a long time before being killed, and the killer had considerable medical knowledge and knew exactly how to prolong a person's suffering as much as possible without harming their lives.

He was enjoying the despair and pain he had created!

Xu Sa stood up and turned his head to look at Su Tong, there were no mood swings in his eyes.

Su Tong knew that the more this was the case, the more angry the man in front of him became.

After the initial forensic photographs, the victim's body was taken away and sent to a forensic doctor for further autopsy.

"The same old way."

Xu Sa nodded to Su Tong and began to search carefully in the bedroom.

Su Tong took out a voice recorder and followed behind Xu Sa with a camera, recording the tiny clues that Xu Sa found from time to time.

……

When I returned to the office of the serious crime team, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the team members who had been visiting outside had not yet returned, so Su Tong had to sort out the recordings and photos while waiting for the forensic report.

Su Tong's hand tapping on the keyboard suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and a familiar feeling of weakness and vomiting made her frown and hold down her stomach.

Cold sweat instantly covered his entire forehead, and the scene in front of him blurred.

Su Tong walked towards the pantry, and the nervous and high-intensity mental concentration made her completely forget that she had two meals without water and rice.

She was guilty of hypoglycemia.

Every step of the vain footsteps was like stepping on cotton, and there was no one in the empty office except Su Tong, who bit the tip of her tongue and tried to keep herself awake.

I don't know what I tripped, Su Tong stumbled and fell to the ground.

The expected pain didn't come, and a strong tug pulled her arm into a warm embrace.

Something was stuffed into her mouth, and the sweet smell of milk spread in her mouth, one hand supporting her limp body, and the other hand shoved a hot cup into her hand, holding it along with her hand.

The hot air with an enticing chocolate flavor made Su Tong's eyes sour.

White rabbit toffee and hot cocoa, it turned out that he had never forgotten it.

……

Su Tong has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and her severe anemia once made her face blue, and although her skin was smooth and delicate, it was also morbidly pale.

What's even more troublesome is that if you don't eat a meal on time, it will induce hypoglycemia, ranging from weakness in the limbs and night sweats to shock and coma.

Su Tong's first illness in front of Xu Sa was in the second semester of his freshman year.

At that time, the two had just been dating.

Su Tong's family is well-off and she is a pampered and obedient girl, but Xu Sa is a child of an ordinary working family and a younger sister who has just entered the second year of junior high school.

In order to buy a promise ring for his girlfriend, Xu Sa took three part-time jobs, and he also had to take care of his studies, and the whole person was busy with a spinning top.

Su Tong felt sorry for her boyfriend's hard work, and secretly learned to make soup behind his back, wanting to replenish his boyfriend's body.

I don't know how many ingredients and medicinal materials were wasted, Su Tong finally boiled out a small pot of astragalus wolfberry red dates and black chicken soup after the Nth failure, she stared at the casserole for five hours and then got into a taxi and crossed the entire city to find Xu Sa.

The warm soup pot was tightly wrapped and delivered to Xu Sa, and the surprise in his eyes turned into horror before it dissipated.

Su Tong fainted silently in front of Xu Sa, and her high intensity of mental concentration and abnormal eating made her low blood sugar menacing, and she didn't slowly wake up until she was sent to the hospital to be injected with glucose.

Since then, Xu Sa has forgotten to bring his textbooks and mobile phones, and he will not forget to bring candy with him.

The promise ring has temporarily become a 24-hour thermos cup, which is warm with fragrant cocoa at any time, and nothing can quickly restore strength and increase calories like a cup of hot chocolate.

"I'll be fat like a pig if I drink like this."

Su Tong's smart eyes smiled into a crooked crescent moon, snuggling up to Xu Sa's side and spoiling.

Another toffee was fed into her mouth, Xu Sa smiled and gently twisted her delicate little nose, and said teasingly: "Then you must be the most beautiful little fat pig with a milky flavor." ”

"Nasty!"

The raised pink fist was firmly held by the big hand, and the bony fingers were inserted from the curled fingers, and the ten fingers were intertwined.

The coquettishness was hidden between the lips that were tossing and turning.

……

"Are you feeling better?"

The cold male voice woke Su Tong up from her memories, and she realized that she was lying in Xu Sa's arms in an extremely ambiguous posture.

"I'm better, much better."

Su Tong slammed back, and his face turned red again.

What's wrong with this, is it really old? I always keep recalling the dusty past.

Su Tong lowered his eyelashes and gathered all his throbbing emotions.

The sudden warmth in his arms darkened Xu Sa's eyes, and he stood up straight quietly, staring at the little woman in front of him with low eyebrows and hanging her head.

He saw her panic and throbbing, and his fingers were still nostalgic for the familiar body temperature and touch, ready to move.

The small head hung low, the black hair was tied up high behind the head, and a strand of mischievous hair stuck to her slender and white neck, which made her look more and more black hair like ink, and her skin was snowy.

Xu Sa's throat rolled, his eyes were bottomless, and when he saw Su Tong trembling slightly because of his gaze, he actually felt a trace of satisfied pleasure.

The taste of the milk flavor of the white rabbit toffee mixed with the hot cocoa, Xu Sa suddenly wanted to relive the taste in his memory, and he leaned down towards Su Tong without hesitation.
