Ma Wen curled up under the balcony tiredly, feeling the temperature of the sun rising little by little, and began to think about whether to sleep for a while now.

But soon, she realized that she was wrong, the light not only drove out the darkness, but also disgusted herself, she really became a lamb in wolf's clothing, frightened in the darkness, but also regarded by the light as a wolf. The familiar feeling rose again, and the light pierced her body like Apollo's sharp arrow, mercilessly. It's like the tentacles that have just escaped from the trolls of the deep sea, and they have been thrown into the scorching iron virgin.

Little by little, the sunlight tightened its fangs, embedded in its pale skin, with the momentum of piercing everything. Ma Wen hugged her legs tightly and curled herself up, tightly retracted into the corner between the balcony and the floor to avoid the light, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, feeling like a down-and-out princess who met a heroic knight, and finally looked forward to the knight's victorious return, but a sharp blade was inserted into his chest, and the victorious knight was still shouting feverishly to burn the witch.

Where the light does not shine, those corners that just now exuded a cold atmosphere, but now they opened their arms to her like a mother, whispering and whispering, comforting, seducing, like a loving mother calling for a naughty wanderer.

As the sun rose, the shadows in the corners of the balcony became narrower and narrower, and there was no longer a way to shelter the whole body, the darkness was retreating, and the light moved firmly, slashing the axe of judgment into Ma Wen's body, and the fierce pain set off a frenzy of sharp blades. Now that it was hard to endure this torture, he hurriedly got up and ran to the bed, grabbed the sweat-soaked quilt and covered himself. There was a howling cheer in her ears, as if celebrating her choice. Even the gaze that had become vague because of the dawn seemed to reveal a feeling of approval.

But soon, Sunshine expanded her territory one step further, and she felt an uneasy atmosphere brewing around her, and her eagerness spread, and even though she was covered with a cover, she could still feel the light shining on the quilt, trying to complete her trial. And those eager emotions kept complaining to her about pain and uneasiness, and these mixtures made Ma Wen feel that every second was an incomparably long torment, and finally had to give up her persistence, get up and close the two layers of curtains with a more ferocious momentum than when they were opened, and the room returned to hazy darkness, and a brisk cheer seemed to sound in a trance...

Ma Wen lay back on the messy bed, full of indescribable discomfort, and had no interest in food at all, just staring at the wall clock on the wall, emptying herself little by little, the heavy mental burden and the pain caused by insomnia completely destroyed her cognition, and countless inexplicable hallucinations and weird scenes baptized her tired brain like a marquee. Ma Wen only felt that she was sitting in an incomparably huge kaleidoscope, being wantonly pulled and twisted, every fragment in this kaleidoscope was strange, but the same thing was that it must be full of terror and madness, and it was impossible to distinguish the passage of time, or that time had abandoned this small world, and watched the endless reincarnation of the sacrificed in this thick madness...

Ma Wen stared at her dark red eyes, felt the powerful beating of the subcutaneous artery in her neck, how long had she been staring at the wall clock? She didn't want to think about it anymore, so she crawled out of the smelly quilt and rolled to the ground to fumble around looking for her phone, only to find that the phone had long since run out of battery. Taking advantage of this short and rare waking time, I hurriedly charged my mobile phone, and when the boot screen lit up, what caught my eye was a long row of marked husband's missed calls. Ma Wen didn't want to hear Li Yaozhan's voice now, she didn't want to hear any sound anymore.

He stood up naked, and the pajamas on his body didn't know when and where they were thrown.

Stepping on the messy floor and walking through the narrow living room, she opened the door of the refrigerator, and suddenly the cold air was like a poisonous snake awakening from hibernation slowly crawling out with the dim yellow light, slowly climbing from her slender naked ankles to her thighs, like a cold sea water covering her naked body, stimulating her already numb soul, and shivering fiercely with the early spring of the steep horse. Ma Wen lowered her head to look for beer, but the beer in the refrigerator had already been drunk at some point, leaving only a large bottle of 2L of pure water.

Ma Wen pulled out the pure water with one hand, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big sip, the cold liquid flowed down her dry throat, making her feel indescribably comfortable, she never thought that the water would be so delicious. Holding the water bottle in both hands, he raised it violently, swallowing it in a big gulp, as if he wanted to drink the whole bottle of water in one go. Soon a touch of blush emerged from the face, and quickly spread to the face and neck, the symptoms of hypoxia became more and more obvious, blood vessels emerged from the neck that had become red, and finally the lungs could no longer bear the sudden contraction, a large amount of pure water choked into the trachea, the lungs suddenly erupted into a sharp pain and suddenly spread to the whole body, the cold water stimulated the warm and soft alveoli, the water overflowed from the mouth, and the whole face was suffocated by the violent water intake of the lungs. The blue-purple veins spread rapidly to the whole body like a lifeless giant net, revealing the breath of death.

Ma Wen quietly enjoyed the severe pain in her lungs, this pain was so real, so unbearable, let her know that she was alive again, and she could be extremely sure that she was in the present world at this time, and she finally found reality in this indescribable severe pain. Ma Wen dropped the empty bucket, endured the severe pain and crawled to the kitchen, climbed the sink to support her spasmodic body, and turned on the faucet suddenly...

Yu Qian paced back and forth in this small room, trying to find more clues, and in his nearly twenty years of criminal police career, he had never seen such a strange suicide scene. This afternoon, the police received a report that a woman was found dead in a rental house in the XX community, and the informant was the deceased's downstairs neighbor, who found the deceased's floor because of a leak in the ceiling.

The waterproofing of the old-fashioned community is not good, and the downstairs was flooded into a water curtain hole, and the poor middle-aged woman was ready to quarrel with the residents upstairs with full of anger, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time. Thinking that there might be no one at home and the water pipe accidentally leaked, I dialed the homeowner's phone number written with an oil-based pen on the corner of the door. As a result, when the landlord came and opened the door, he saw not only the tap water flowing everywhere, but also a pale female corpse.

Yu Qian stood still in the middle of the bedroom at the scene of the crime, watching the police officers of the traces section busy collecting evidence. The structure of this house is extremely simple, it is a very common suite structure in old-fashioned houses, from the main entrance is a narrow and long entrance, close to the door is the toilet, next to the kitchen is the entrance, the entrance to the end is a bedroom, through this bedroom side is a large bedroom with a balcony, making the whole unit "L" shape.

Many residents have converted this small bedroom, which connects the hallway to the master bedroom, into a living room. The whole house is only thirty or forty square meters, but it is complete, and because it is an old brick house in the 80s, the location is good, the rent is cheap, and the structure is complete, which is popular with young single residents and white-collar workers. After preliminary investigation, judging from the traces at the scene, the deceased walked from the master bedroom through the living room to the kitchen, opened a 2L bottle of purified water next to the refrigerator, and then climbed to the sink to turn on the faucet, and finally died of suffocation caused by choking.

Yu Qian frowned tightly, no matter what, he couldn't understand how this strange death scene came about, the forensic doctor couldn't find obvious scars from the body surface of the deceased, the doors and windows were locked intact, and even the curtains were tightly pulled without leaking a trace of light, as for the exact cause of death, it would be determined until the autopsy results came out. Yu Qian glanced at the bedroom, the clothes and empty cans scattered all over the floor, and the room exuded a faint aroma of malt fermentation.

"Could it be that he drank too much and choked to death when he drank water?" Yu Qian muttered to himself

"Look at this, Fish," a police officer called out as he carried the horn

Yu Qian leaned forward and leaned in a lot, and a pale white figure was printed on the futon, the edges layered on top of each other like a clumsy chalk drawing

"Sweat stains? So deep? Yu Qian was surprised: "The deceased is not wearing clothes, right?" It's amazing how much sweat you can sweat in this weather."

"You think you've done some strenuous exercise?" The officer said uncertainly

"Go around and investigate to see if there are any suspicious people entering and leaving this room recently," Yu Qian ordered

"Fish team, look at the traces on the ground, the deceased seems to have crawled all the way from the bedroom to the kitchen, the curtains were still drawn so tightly, and finally choked to death by the water, this, could the deceased have a rabies attack?" Another veteran detective said

"I'll wait for the autopsy results from the forensic doctor, but I estimate that there is a chance that this case was not killed by him." Yu Qian replied casually, but there was a faint feeling in his heart that this case was not so simple, and when he stepped into this house, Yu Qian inexplicably thought of that morning ten years ago

"Eh, now the little young, really, you don't know how faceless they are, they are all naked when they die, maybe what happened, you said that when you came to rent a house, you looked at a white and pure little girl, why, hey, comrade police, you said that I had this incident with the house, how can I rent it in the future!"

The landlord's aunt cried and complained half an hour ago, and the community police were accompanying him to appease, since Yuqian they arrived and began to complain, and began to howl after hearing that the tenant was dead and could not be saved, Yuqian thought that the landlord and aunt had a good relationship with the tenant, but who knew that the landlord and aunt were distressed that their house had become a murderous house. After the criminal police team pulled up the cordon, the aunt was still reluctant to leave with the criminal police who made the record, and seemed to be waiting for a while Yu Qian came out with a smile and told her that there was no dead person in your house jokingly. The criminal policeman and a policeman, who had no way to make a record, listened to the aunt's complaints and comforted them, while asking for tenant information through the stitches, searching for valuable information from the aunt's crying words.

Just as the Traces Section was about to complete the collection work, the mobile phone in the evidence bag suddenly rang, and the eyes of everyone in the room were immediately focused

"Team Fish?" A police officer held up the evidence bag and looked at Yu Qian, "It seems to be the deceased's boyfriend." ”

"Pick up" Yu Qian thought for a moment and motioned to connect the phone

The police officer of the Traces Division took out his mobile phone from the evidence bag, wrapped a rubber finger sleeve around his white-gloved index finger and pressed it on and out

"Baby, you finally answered the phone, it was me who was bad that morning, don't be angry, okay? I just got off the plane, now I'm going to pick you up for lunch, today we're going to eat Japanese food, okay? I've got a little surprise for you, I guess you wouldn't have imagined," a brisk and flattering male voice came out of the phone

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between you and Ma Wen?" The officer asked

"Who are you? Why is you holding Wenwen's phone? On the other side of the phone, Li Yaozhan's tone instantly became serious and sharp

"We are the Criminal Police Brigade of the City Bureau."

"The Criminal Police Brigade? The police? Why are you answering the phone, Wenwen? Li Yaozhan panicked

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between you and Ma Wen?"

"I, I, I'm Ma Wen's boyfriend"

"Okay, if it's convenient for you, I'll trouble you to go to the XX police station later to cooperate with our investigation."

"I... I, no problem, I'll go over now, can I ask how Ma Wen is now? Li Yaozhan asked stumblingly

The officer looked up at Yu Qian, who nodded

"We received a report this morning that your girlfriend Ma Wen was found dead in a rental house"
