In early March, on a train bound for the city, a man wearing a slightly shabby down jacket on the upper half and a pair of blue jeans on the lower half sat in a hard-seat car with a large number of passengers.

The man was about forty years old, with a regular haircut, bronzed skin, and a wisp of beard on his chin.

The man sat by the window, his hands in the sleeves of his clothes, his body curled up slightly, leaning against the slightly cool window, and there was a chaotic sound in the carriage in his ears, but his eyes kept looking out of the window, his eyes were blurred, there was no focus, the whole person looked very confused, compared to the other people in the carriage, he seemed a little out of place, of course, no one would pay attention to his existence.

When the train arrived at the city train station, the man walked out of the train station with a very simple, even shabby, luggage bag.

After walking out of the exit of the train station, no one picked him up, and there were no friends around him, he just walked silently on the street alone, not a strong body, and he looked so ordinary in the crowd.

Maybe there are a lot of people out of the station, maybe everyone is busy, the man's body is always hit by people in a hurry, the man is not angry, let alone the person who hit him to reason anything, he just tightened the duffel bag in his hand, after walking out of the train station, the man turned his head and looked at the city train station A few words, the man was stunned for a long time, silent for a long time, and finally, he raised his head, looked up at the sky, and looked at the somewhat dazzling sun hanging in the sky, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then, let out a long breath, It seems to be homecoming.

After the man walked out of the train station, he stretched out his hand and felt in his pocket, trying to find a cigarette to smoke, however, after groping, he could not find the cigarette case, so the man had to go to a small nearby store and buy a pack of cigarettes.

Walking out of the small store, the man skillfully opened the wrapping paper of the cigarette, opened the cigarette box, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, he did not immediately put it in his mouth, but put it under his nose and sniffed it, closed his eyes, and showed an intoxicated look, many people who passed by the man, saw the strange action of the man, and they all looked sideways, thinking that the man was smoking such an expensive cigarette, but when they saw the yellow cigarette box in the man's hand, the cigarette box was printed with the words red and gold dragon, and they couldn't help but show a look of disdain. He cursed the poor ghost in his heart, and left in a hurry.

After the man opened his eyes, he turned a blind eye to the pedestrians around him who cast disdain on him, he carefully put the cigarette in his mouth, walked to the side of the road and squatted, turned his back to the wind, took out a cheap lighter with the four big characters Wishing you prosperity printed on it, and lit the cigarette.

As the blue flame lit the cigarette, the man took a greedy puff, slowly spit out a smoke ring, and closed his eyes again.

A cigarette, the man smoked for five minutes, until the last trace of cigarette was burned out, the faint fire was completely extinguished, the man had bitten a little deformed cigarette holder put down, he did not discard the cigarette butt on the road, but carefully put it into his pocket.

After all this, the man slowly stood up, took his duffel bag, and slowly left down the street, and the departure of such a poor man did not attract anyone's attention in the place where the train station was full of people.

"Tick, tick"

In the basement of a remote residential building in the northern part of the city, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

This is a basement of only a dozen square meters, because it is underground, even if it is daytime, it seems very dim inside, here, I don't know whether it is day or night outside, in the dim room, there is only a faint light, a glass bulb covered with dust, emitting an orange light, lighting this room slightly.

The furnishings in the basement are very simple, I don't know if the original floor is black, or because of the lighting problems are illuminated black on the ground, there is a dirty, somewhat greasy mattress, the mattress is covered with a sheet that has been unable to distinguish the original color, and a thin quilt, the color of the cup is the same as the sheet, the original color can not be seen clearly.

Next to the mattress, there was a simple duffel bag, and next to the duffel bag, there was a desk, not so much a desk, but a desk, which was a single desk, one of the legs of the desk was broken, and the broken leg of the desk was tied with a wooden stick, wrapped in duct tape, and on the desk, there was a pile of papers scattered around.

The roof of the basement is very low, and the space is not large, and in this small space, there are many threads, the tips of which are nailed to various places on the wall, and there is not much communication with each other, but only in the middle of the room, these ropes come together, and it looks like a spider's web.

Instead of clothes and other miscellaneous items, these stretched straight ropes were placed with a number of clips, and under each clip was a photograph or a newspaper or a page cut from a magazine, which looked a little oozing and somewhat unusual.

On one wall, there hangs a map, which is not a map of the world, nor a map of the country of Huaxia, but a map of the city.

At this moment, a man stands in front of the map, with a pen in one hand and the other

The hand was gesturing on the map, which had been marked by the man with a red marker, one of which stood out was the newly established CY office building.

"Jingle Bell"

Suddenly, there was a shrill bell ringing in the room, and the man who was working in front of the map turned his head sharply, revealing his shining eyes, and he looked at the place where the sound came from, it was a very kawaii alarm clock, if it wasn't for the missing part of the alarm clock, it was really cute.

The man put down the pen in his hand, walked quickly to the alarm clock, and pressed the alarm clock so that it did not chirp.

Next to the alarm clock is placed an old man's machine, the so-called old man's machine is the kind of button mobile phone that has long been eliminated, which can only answer and make calls.

After turning off the alarm clock, the man picked up his phone, lit up the screen, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hey, is it the CY criminal investigation team" The man's voice moved his lips slightly, but he didn't make much noise, and at this time, a metal piece on his neck slowly squirmed as the man's Adam's apple squirmed.

"Hello, this is the CY criminal investigation team, can I ask if there is anything I can help you" Ding Haoqiong's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Is Xu Lang your team leader?" the man asked again.

"Yes, may I ask you to be"

The man didn't answer Ding Haoqiong's question, but asked, "Is Xu Lang in CY?"

"Do you have anything to do with our team leader Xu?" asked Ding Haoqiong on the other end of the phone.

"I'm going to talk to him on the phone."

"This"

Ding Haoqiong was obviously a little hesitant on the other end of the phone, because he didn't know who this person who called CY to find Xu Lang was and what he wanted to do.

"I sent something, and I'm going to talk to him on the phone."

"That hand was sent by you," Ding Haoqiong exclaimed on the other end of the phone.

"I'm talking to Xu Lang on the phone." The man repeated it again.

After Xu Lang just left CY with Lai Pi, Ding Haoqiong received this inexplicable phone call to CY, after he heard this very uncomfortable mechanical voice, he was confused, especially when he heard someone calling, admitting that the courier sent to Xu Lang's hands was sent by the other party, and wanted to talk to Xu Lang, Ding Haoqiong hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "You wait a minute, I'll call him." ”

“”

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, Ding Haoqiong glanced at the phone, and after finding that the other party did not hang up, he immediately grabbed the microphone, took out his mobile phone with his other hand, dialed Xu Lang's number, and told Xu Lang to let him come back.

When Xu Lang returned to CY again, he picked up the microphone and said, "Hey." ”

"Did you get something?"

The man asked, holding the phone, walking to the front of the map again, looking at the place of the CY office building circled by a red marker on the map.

"Who are you?"

The man stretched out a hand, gently rubbed it on the map, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, did you receive something?"

"You sent that thing," Xu Lang's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"yes, isn't it a surprise?"

The man withdrew his hand, raised his head, and looked at a photo in front of him, which was Xu Lang himself, looking at Xu Lang's photo, the muscles of the man's cheeks twitched slightly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a giggling smile came out of his throat.

"What do you want to do?"

After the man's laughter stopped, Xu Lang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What do I want to do, what do I want to do, what do I want to do?"

The man stretched out his hand, took Xu Lang's photo, looked carefully at the dim light, muttered in his mouth, his eyes were a little confused, and after a long time, the man suddenly thought of a very good idea, and he said slowly, "I want to play a game with you." ”

"Play the game, what the game"

The man took the phone and paced slowly around the room, saying "a very fun, exciting game, do you dare to play" as he walked.

As the man walked, his body not only hit the photos, newspapers, and magazines hanging in the air, making a slight sound, but the man's originally somewhat sick face, at this moment, rose red, obviously, the man entered a state of euphoria, and he was very satisfied with his proposal.

"Tell me what the hell is the game"

Hearing Xu Lang ask on the phone, the man stopped pacing, he frowned, thought about it carefully, and showed a confused expression on his face, and after a while, he said, "Well, I haven't thought about it yet, when I think about it, I'll contact you again." ”

After saying this, the man hung up the phone, he held the phone in one hand, raised his head, and looked at the news report in front of him about Xu Lang's CY solving the 320 major case in just eight days, looking at the eye-catching headline and dazzling text, the man's face gradually became distorted and hideous, and his breathing slowly became rapid.

"Whoa."

The man suddenly ripped the newspaper off the rope in front of him.

newspaper

Then it fell, spun around in the air a few times, and finally fell to the black ground, at the feet of the man, who did not look at the newspaper again, but raised his foot, stepped on the newspaper and walked towards the desk, put down the phone, and then walked to the mattress that had long been unable to see the original face and sat down.

After the man sat down, he put his hands on his knees, covered his head, and said over and over again, "What kind of interesting game should I play?"

The man repeated this sentence over and over again, the expression on his face became more and more distorted and hideous, a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead, his eyes were clear for a while, and confused for a while, giving people a feeling of mental abnormality.

After the man repeated it several times, his eyes skimmed to a photo, and a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, because he thought of a great, very fun game.

After thinking of this game, the man's body trembled involuntarily, and he admired himself a little, feeling that he was a genius.

After getting excited, he stood up, walked to his desk, picked up his phone again, and dialed the CY office building.

The phone rang and it was connected.

"Hey." Xu Lang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I came up with a fun game."

"What game"

"Didn't you solve 320 major cases in eight days, then I'll give you four days"

The man paused and said, "Oh no, give you two days to find the owner of the gift I prepared for you, and if you don't find him in two days, then he will die." ”

"That's all," Xu Lang asked on the other end of the phone.

The man thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's all, good luck." ”

After saying this, the man hung up the phone, and then, turned the phone over, uncovered the back cover of the phone, deducted the battery, and took out the mobile phone card from it, the man opened the duffel bag again, took out a box from the duffel bag, opened the box, and there were a lot of mobile phone cards in it, the man picked one casually, installed it in the mobile phone, reinstalled the battery, installed the back cover, took the mobile phone card from the mobile phone in his hand and threw it into the trash, and put the box back in the luggage bag.

After doing all this, the man casually put his phone on the bed, he looked up, looked at the light bulb in the middle of the room, squinted his eyes slightly, showed a happy smile, and let out a harsh and penetrating laughter, giving people a very scary and very scary feeling.

"Xu Lang, Xu Lang, don't let me down, if you lose this game from the beginning, then it's not interesting, I hope you can find him quickly, otherwise, he will really die, ahaha"

In the CY office area, after Xu Lang put down the phone, his whole face was very ugly.

Just now, Xu Lang and the other party, everyone present heard it clearly, clearly, this is a provocation, a naked provocation, on the surface, this is a personal provocation to Xu Lang, but the other party called CY, obviously, this is not only for Xu Lang, but for CY.

"Lu Xing, have you found the phone" Xu Lang raised his head and asked Lu Xing, who was quickly typing on the keyboard, after being silent for a while.

Lu Xing didn't answer Xu Lang's question immediately, but was silent for a while, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry Brother Lang, I didn't find it." ”

"I didn't find out what's going on, we talked for so long, didn't you actually locate the coordinates" Xu Lang frowned and looked at Lu Xing with a displeased expression.

"The other party is using a foreign phone card, and it takes time to trace it." Lu Xing explained.

"Overseas Calling Cards"

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes, and then asked, "What did you find?"

"I traced it, and although I didn't determine the specific location of the other party, I can be sure that the other party is in the city."

"Where is the city?" asked Xu Lang.

Lu Xing shook his head, obviously, he didn't track it down.

"Brother Lang, what does the other party mean by this, he mentioned the 320 case, could it be that he has any connection with the 320 case, or is there any omission when we solve the 320 case" Ding Haoqiong asked on the side.

Hearing Ding Haoqiong ask, Xu Lang also had this idea, but after carefully reviewing the details of all the cases in 320, except for Deng Feizhang, who was not the head and tail of the dragon, all the other people involved in the case were arrested, according to the police investigation, there were also several confessions of prisoners, from the facts of the crime and the process of the crime, as well as the process of the crime, all of them were tightly matched, there was no problem, there was no problem of omission.

So, Xu Lang shook his head and said, "This person should have nothing to do with the 320 case." ”

"Then why did the other party mention the 320 case, and besides, he also played such a game with us, is he Master Chang's person" Ding Haoqiong also frowned and asked.

Xu Lang thought about it and shook his head, saying that he was also confused now, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

After a moment of silence, Xu Lang asked, "Is the sound map coming out?"

"It's out." Lu Xing said.

"Did you find anything?"

"Nope."
