Zhao Leng went out to take a car, although she knew that it was risky to do so, but she was like a road, and she wanted to make some achievements for people to see, so she took the lead to the agreed place.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Leng felt for the first time that "what you get on paper is shallow", she has not been to the police in the Eastern District hundreds of times, but there are dozens of times, but she has never been to such a place. She turned around and saw that the taxi driver had disappeared like a ghost, which made her even more frightened.

Zhao Leng patted his cheeks, cheered up, looked around step by step, and saw a tall mansion not far away, stretching all the way from the lush path, Zhao Leng rubbed his palms, and realized that this was the destination.

It's a bit of an exaggeration. Zhao Leng squinted, looking at the end, it was difficult to see this ancient building at a glance, it can be seen how big this pattern is, who should live in this kind of place? It's not a big boss, it's a big star.

Hesitating whether to go up and take a look, Zhao Leng was in a daze in the corner, at this moment, in the small building in the courtyard, the simple and deep green gate was pushed open, and an old man with a white beard walked out of it, with a dignified appearance, the upper body was a gray jacket, and the lower body was dressed straight, and then he bent down and bowed to Zhao Leng.

This can make Zhao Leng a little at a loss, she looked around blankly, found that there was no one else, and stretched out her finger to point at herself.

"Me?" She asked.

The old man nodded.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's about the case." The old man's sideburns were very neatly trimmed, his white hair was quite vigorous, and a pair of shining eyes looked at Zhao Leng, giving her a sense of cunning.

Zhao took a cold breath and hesitated how to answer, the old man had already introduced himself.

"My name is Guan Tong." The old man's eyes converged, and he invited Zhao Leng to the mansion, and went up the small slope, and saw the potted plants in the courtyard along the road, which were as delicate as the old man's hair.

Looking at it from another perspective, Zhao Leng found that the old man's ten fingers and nails were neat and clean, his body was spotless, and there was a touch of nobility in his tone, and he introduced Zhao Leng along the way.

"I've heard about this case." The old man seemed to be happy to see Zhao Leng's dumbfounded appearance, and introduced as he walked: "There hasn't been such a large-scale murder case in Lincheng for ten years." ”

Zhao Leng nodded silently, but began to doubt in his heart - although the murder case can be glimpsed in the newspaper news, ordinary people can't contact the bureau's archives department, and the files and information they handle are also incomplete.

This......

She began to regret whether she shouldn't have come alone—or should she have asked the director for a gun, and if she hiccups here, would it be considered a death in the line of duty? Zhao Leng touched the empty butt of the gun on his butt pocket and fell into a cranky situation.

"Miss Zhao?"

Seeing that she was a little dazed and in a daze, the old man cautiously patted her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Zhao Leng came back to his senses, only to find that he had arrived in the main hall of this small villa, there were straight silver utensils on the table about five meters long, and the old man didn't know when he had put on his apron, walked in front of her, stretched out his hand and waved it.

"Officer Zhao." This old man not only knows Zhao Leng's background and name well, but even knows what she likes to eat. Zhao Leng was stunned for a moment, the old man surnamed Guan had already pushed up a plate of fragrant silver plates, and the plate was covered with an arc-shaped lid.

"What is this?" Zhao Leng tilted his face suspiciously.

The old man smiled implicitly and lifted the lid.

Zhao Leng suddenly felt a burst of crispy and numb aroma coming to her face, her eyes lit up, an oily duck was horizontal in front of her, the smooth and tender fat on the meat was slightly shiny, and the steaming fat aroma was simply fascinating.

"This!" Zhao Leng couldn't help but get excited, but then with his strong professional ethics and willpower, he dragged his thoughts back.

She slapped the table, and her face sank - she deliberately changed into civilian clothes this time, she was by no means a famous person in Lincheng, why was this old man so familiar with herself.

"Mr. Guan, you seem to know our police system very well?" Zhao Leng asked with a straight face.

"Not really." Seeing Zhao Leng's abnormal expression, the old man did not panic at all, and replied calmly: "We are regarded as well water and do not interfere with river water." ”

"Who are you?" Zhao Leng's professionalism quickly made her brain run rapidly, this statement, could it be a group crime? This is really a big case.

"Let's start with this case." The old man made a gesture of please.

Zhao Leng looked at the duck in front of him, it was red and glowing orange. To be honest, she was indeed greedy, but after all, she was a police officer, and she couldn't give in at such a time.

"You, you'd better recruit from the truth." Zhao Leng pursed his lips. "My colleagues know where I've gone."

"As far as I know, they don't." The old man smiled.

It's over, and the hole cards are gone.

Zhao Leng raised her head in frustration, and when she saw the old man's confident appearance, her heart was as cold as ashes, this was to take herself well.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Leng was deflated and asked.

"Officer Zhao." The old man pointed to the duck in front of Zhao Leng's eyes, "Made for you, eat it while it's hot, I still have a story to tell here." ”

Zhao Leng's ass was soft on the chair - not to mention, the velvet cushion behind it was very comfortable.

Zhao Leng broke off a duck leg - yes, be a starving ghost even if you die. She took a bite of the large piece of meat, the crispy texture of the bite and the hot fat and tender meat poured into her mouth, and her eyes straightened in shock.

"What kind of fairy duck is this?!" Zhao Leng raised his head suddenly.

"It's best with your appetite." The old man bowed, with a square scarf on his elbow, he handed it over, Zhao Leng took it with his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and was about to ask something, when the old man started his story again.

"Half a year ago, a female corpse was salvaged by the river near the city and the river. There was not a single intact skin on the whole body, and the whole corpse was damaged by knives or sharp weapons, with more than 200 wounds of all sizes, and the whole body was soaked in water, and the corpse was decomposed and swollen greatly. ”

Zhao Leng stopped the food in his hand, raised his head in a daze, and looked at the old man's eyes changed.

Two months later, because the matter was serious, Linjiang spanned three provinces, and the jointly established serious crime team began to investigate. Officer Zhao, I'm afraid you don't know about this. ”

Zhao Leng nodded subconsciously.

When she took over this case, it started with a headless female corpse case half a month ago.

"The reason is that the investigation has been fruitless for half a year, and this case has always become an unsolved case without a tail, and it has been shelved." The old man said: "And just half a month ago, to be precise, in mid-July, some witnesses said that they saw another female corpse by the small river of the tributary of the river. ”

Zhao Leng's heart jumped.

"This time, the female corpse had no external injuries, but a different head, the cut surface of the skull and spine was very complete, and the blood stains of the valve before healing were also very neat, as if they had been cut with a high-voltage chainsaw, because it was too complete, which attracted the attention of the police."

The old man looked at Zhao Leng's face and said word by word: "Among them, in the bureau of the Lincheng sub-district, Officer Zhao was assigned as the investigation team of a single case, also known as the temporary serious crime team to join the investigation. It stands to reason that two cases that have continuity in time, lack of evidence, and have commonality should be handled together and handled as serial homicides. But for some reason, the serious crime team did not take such considerations, but let a pure newcomer start to investigate the case, so far, up to now, the city bureau and the district bureau have not been able to decide. ”

Zhao Leng said stiffly, "I haven't seen it yet, the standing team won't do it anyway." ”

The old man didn't say anything, just laughed.

Zhao Leng stubbornly raised his head: "I don't know if you are an accomplice or the main culprit, but there are still many policemen like me who are unwilling to give up, I advise you to turn yourself in as soon as possible, this case will not be closed like this." ”

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Zhao Leng.

This voice made Zhao Leng a little dazed for a while, as if he had heard it somewhere, and it seemed like a voice from the bottom of his heart.

"The usual practice of the standing group is to conduct investigations in accordance with the usual practice, and after summarizing the evidence, conduct the usual questioning of suspects. After questioning, if there is no actual evidence for prosecution, it is often closed, or is there already solid evidence in the case? ”

Zhao Leng turned his head in shock and saw a man in a shirt, dressed very casually, with one sleeve rolled up, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were very sharp, but at the moment he was a little lazy. Zhao Leng passed over carefully, this man was about thirty years old, with extremely high eyebrows, thin cheeks, and heavy eye bags, but he couldn't hide his originally handsome appearance.

"Sure enough, there are accomplices." Zhao Leng gritted his teeth.

"Accomplices?" The man yawned, came to Zhao Leng's side with a smile, glanced at the old man beside him, and asked, "Officer Zhao regarded this place as a crime scene?" ”

"That's right." The old man nodded.

The man smiled: "Old officer, you are still the same as before, you don't want to speak clearly, your habit should be changed." ”

Zhao Leng was stunned.

"I haven't introduced myself yet." The man pulled away the chair beside Zhao Leng, sat down beside him calmly, and looked at her with slanted eyes: "My name is Chai Guangmo, and the old man is my housekeeper, this is my house." ”

"Chai Guangmo?" Zhao Leng's eyes widened, he took a business card pushed over by Chai Guangmo, and then thought of the strange information he received on WeChat, and immediately contacted: "You called me?" ”

In addition to surprise and fear on Zhao Leng's face, what is the origin of this man?

Chai Guangmo smiled slightly.

"You are very flustered, with dissatisfaction in your tone, and when you mention the sinking case, your breathing and pulse have risen by two amplitudes, and your face is also red, which means that you are the main person involved in the case. And there is only one big case in Lincheng during this time, so it is very simple to deduce that you are the officer Zhao who was pushed to a high place by the media and fell badly. Zhao Leng. ”

Zhao Lengwu was surprised, but Chai Guangmo showed an unbelievable look:

"Finally let me find you."
