April 18, 2019

In the afternoon, Zhang Ze took the surveillance video of the park to the archives to find Fang Fan.

"Team Fang, I've watched the video, not only did I not see Uncle Zhong go to the park, but I also didn't see Aunt Mei."

Fang Fan watched the video again, Zhong Bo really hadn't been there, let alone the mysterious person Aunt Mei said. After a while, the police officer in charge of the area of the tube building also called, and no one in black had ever entered and left the tube building in the morning.

Fang Fan touched the thick stubble on his chin.

"Why is Aunt May lying? We missed the most important clues. ”

"What?"

Fang Fan picked up his coat and ran towards the parking lot, followed by Zhang Ze.

"What the hell is the clue?"

"Aunt Mei's origins. The inhabitants there will give us a satisfactory answer. ”

Fang Fan started the car, and the host's voice came from the car radio.

"Good afternoon, everyone, this is Zhonghai FM101. Today is April 18, 2019, the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar. The warm afternoon will be spent by me and everyone, I am the host Taotao. ”

The thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, the charcoal brazier. These things were like magnets that attracted Fang Fan's attention, and the murderer's face gradually became clear in his mind. The two came to the tube building again, and Fang Fan asked Zhang Ze to ask the residents about this person named Aunt Mei, and asked in detail about the situation of the family on the far left on the top floor. Fang Fan walked alone to the back of the tube building, which was an uninhabited bungalow area, which had become a garbage dump for the residents of the tube building for many years. He looked up and saw that the window of the leftmost house was just below the roof, Fang Fan was a little excited at this time, if this assumption was true, then the murderer must be Aunt Mei.

Fang Fan quickly ran to the roof, where there were still traces of the rope ladder being dragged away. He walked over to the roof of the house on the far left. As expected, there were two deep dents at the edges, which were supposed to be the marks left by the wire after dragging the weight.

Zhang Ze ran over panting.

"I saw you running to the top of the building just now, what's the matter?"

"How's your inquiry?"

"No one here has ever heard of Aunt Mei. As for the family on the left, as I told you last time, a charcoal brazier will be set up on the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar every month. ”

"Aunt Mei is probably the owner of the family on the far left."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze went downstairs to the house on the left, and the charcoal brazier was placed in the corner of the wall outside the door. Zhang Ze stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after the door opened, an old man came out inside, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at each other, this was not the Aunt Mei I saw in the morning at all.

"Hello, do you know Aunt May?"

"Who?"

"Aunt May."

The old man had some ears behind his ears, so Zhang Ze raised his voice again.

"Trash?"

Zhang Ze was very helpless, Fang Fan was a little impatient, and motioned for Zhang Ze to write to her, and the old man put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck and looked at it.

"She was my babysitter and I haven't been out since my wife died. After so many years, the people here have probably forgotten about me as an old woman. She came early every morning and then cooked me food for the day and left. ”

Fang Fan asked about the charcoal brazier again.

"She brought the basin. She said she wouldn't pay her as long as she put the basin here. I don't have anything but this old bone at my age, and I agree with what she says. ”

Fang Fan didn't say anything after looking at the simple furnishings in the room.

"Fang team, the director asked us to go back immediately, saying that there is something important to look for you."

Before leaving, Fan deliberately observed the window, but did not find any suspicious traces.

"Fang team, why are you sure that Aunt Mei is there?"

"Because she lied. Neither Aunt Mei nor Uncle Zhong appeared in the surveillance, and no one here knew Aunt Mei, so this Aunt Mei never left the building, and it can be said that she never appeared in the sight of any resident.

Then there is the deep dent on the roof, which must have been left over time. Even if she wants to go out, she will use a steel wire to go down from the roof to the ground, so that the surveillance will naturally not be able to shoot her, and she will become invisible. If the old man's confession is reliable, then if you want to find Aunt Mei again, I'm afraid you will be looking for a needle in a haystack.

As soon as the murder happened in the morning, Aunt Mei appeared, and no one told her what happened, but she knew that the deceased was Uncle Zhong. That's why I concluded that Aunt Mei was not only there, but also the murderer of Uncle Zhong. ”

Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan adoringly.

"You're so good at it, aren't you?"

"Let's go back to the bureau first, I don't know what the director is looking for me."

Huo Deliang, the chief of the Zhonghai City Police Department, was holding a pair of walnuts that had been given to him not long ago, and there was a photo of his lover on his desk.

"Huo Ju, are you looking for me?"

"Fang Fan, sit down, sit down. I have seen and remembered the contributions you have made to the Serious Crime Team over the years. I think you should carry this spirit forward to all corners of the police station. ”

The director's words made Fang Fan incredulous.

"From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to worry about Ye Di's murder. Give you a month's leave and report directly to the administration department when you come back. ”

"Director, I'm afraid I'll be sorry. Two people have died, and I don't want to give up. Even if you want to transfer me away, you'll have to wait until this case is over. ”

Huo Deliang was a little unhappy, but it was not easy to break out, so he could only patiently tell Fang Fan again.

"Actually, it's for your own good that I don't let you take care of this case, and I listen to someone's advice to eat enough."

"Is it my actions that have touched the interests of any leader that would have made you make such a decision?"

Huo Deliang, who was angry, slapped the table hard.

"Is this the way you talk to your leader? No big or small, from now on, you will have a long vacation, and you are not allowed to ask about the case again. ”

Fang Fan put his documents and gun on the desk.

"I can take a long vacation, but I promise I will investigate this case to the end."

After finishing speaking, Fang Fan slammed the door and went out. Huo Deliang's face turned purple with anger, and at this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

"How's it going?"

"Mr. Zhuo, something went wrong. That boy was a thatched stone, smelly and hard. ”

"I'll find someone to deal with it."

There was a beep of blind tones on the other end of the phone. The caller was Zhuo Man, who had quietly returned to China to take over the family business since Ye Guozhong entered the mental hospital, but he had never gone to see Ye Guozhong. When she decided to leave, she didn't plan to come back, because it was no longer the world of the Zhuo family at that time. Ye Guozhong, who inherited his father's inheritance, seemed to be a different person overnight, and the vicious words and frequent domestic violence made Zhuo Man completely see this man who had tried every means to get him.

Zhuo Man had to admit that she was worthless compared to money and power, and the sulfuric acid of reality had corroded her love dream to the point that there were no residues left. She still remembers that after that domestic violence, her and Ye Guozhong's only child had a miscarriage, and she went to the hospital in pain, and finally the doctor told her that it would be impossible to get pregnant in the future. She cried so badly that night, the heart-tearing wails rang out throughout the room, and she couldn't even remember how many times she fainted, she just cried and fainted, and then she cried and cried again and again when she woke up.

When Ye Guozhong knew that Zhuo Man couldn't have children, he gave her a large sum of money and sent her abroad, and since then she has been out of sight and out of mind. At that time, Zhuo Man decided to leave Xiao Zhuang, the bodyguard chosen by his father for himself, in China to monitor Ye Guozhong's every move. When Ye Guozhong entered the psychiatric hospital, Xiaozhuang notified Zhuo Man as soon as possible, and Zhuo Man returned to China in a low-key manner and took over the family business, but the successor announced to the public was Xiao Zhuang, and Zhuo Man listened to politics behind the scenes.

At nightfall, the building was peaceful, and the old man on the top floor was playing with a stick the burning paper in the charcoal brazier.

"Old Zhong, old Zhong, I didn't want to kill you, no matter what, you are also my savior. I wanted you to be a transparent person who had died to spend your old age in peace, but who knew that you were still found by the police, and you brought more money to go under Jiuquan, which is also my sister, and I honor you. ”

After saying that, the old man tore off his mask and threw it in the brazier, and then left the tube building through the window, and since then Aunt Mei's figure has disappeared into the noisy night.

"Fang Fan, don't worry about this case anymore, okay? Let's get married. ”

Xiao Yuehan hugged Fang Fan's neck from behind, and Fang Fan's attention was all focused on the information in front of him at this time, but he was still shocked by the word marriage.

"When I'm done with this case, we'll get married, okay?"

"No, you're not a ghost or a ghost for this case now, I don't want to marry a photo. That's why I'm going to marry you now, now. ”

"Now the Civil Affairs Bureau is off work."

"You..."

Yuehan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Fang Fan looked at her who was angry and laughed evilly. Then Fang Fan turned around and went into the house, took out the prepared Tiffany classic diamond ring, quietly put it in his pocket, and then went out.

"Don't come back if you're gone, men are big pigs' trotters."

This is the first time that Yue Han has been so angry with Fang Fan, Fang Fan is not angry, but feels that the angry Yue Han is even more cute. The sea breeze soothes the night in Zhonghai City, and the scent of cake shops permeates the streets. Fang Fan picked Yuehan's favorite cake, and when he came home, he found Yuehan sobbing on the sofa.

"You still know to come back, don't you tell you not to come back?"

"Close your eyes."

Angry, but Yue Han still obediently closed his eyes, tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, and Fang Fan took the cake and shook it beside Yue Han's face.

"What smells so good?"

"Open your eyes."

"Don't think a cake can kill me, I'm super fierce."

Fang Fan saw that the heat was almost over, so he took out the diamond ring in his pocket.

"I wanted to wait for your birthday tomorrow to give it to you, but it looks like you can't wait."

"Who can't wait."

"When this case is settled, we'll get married, okay?"

"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will promise you. But if you dare to lie to me, I'll kill you. ”

The best way to coax a woman is to let her know how much you love her. At this time, the phone suddenly rang out at an inopportune time.

"Is it Fang Fan? There is your courier. ”

Fang Fan went downstairs to get the courier, and the address on the courier was actually the villa. When he opened the parcel, there was a postcard that read: Wandering lonely souls sing the oldest song by the sea. On the back of the postcard is a key to an aquarium locker.

April 22, 2019

"How is Fang Fan doing?"

"He's been at his girlfriend's house since the start of his vacation and hasn't been in touch with me."

"Xiao Zhuang, you have to continue to play the identity of Zhang Ze, although Fang Fan is on vacation now, he is still a policeman, you have to continue to monitor his every move."

"Understood."

Group K is a bodyguard group in Zhonghai City, which was affiliated with the Zhuo family many years ago. Group K specializes in selecting children to cultivate, not so much bodyguards, but more accurately cultivating killers. Xiaozhuang has been following Zhuo Man since he was 15 years old, don't look at his age, but he is the first to do the protection work. Over the years, although the relationship between Zhuo Man and Xiao Zhuang has been that of master and servant, they are better than sister and brother. To say that the person who hates Ye Guozhong the most in the world, except for Zhuo Man, is Xiaozhuang.

Since Zhuo Man settled abroad, Xiao Zhuang has become Zhuo Man's eyes, and the reason why he chose to be a policeman is because this can not only hide his identity as a killer well, but also better monitor Ye Guozhong. But his encounter with Fang Fan was purely accidental, at that time, the serious crime team lacked manpower, and he was assigned to Fang Fan's hand on the first day of work, at that time, Fang Fan's partner Lao Jiang had just retired, and Xiao Zhuang naturally became Fang Fan's partner.

The phone rang, it was Fang Fan.

"Zhang Ze, you go out with me tomorrow morning."

"Alright, team." Xiaozhuang agreed with a hippie smile.

Xiao Zhuang skillfully switched his identity to Zhang Ze mode, and even Zhuo Man was stunned.

"Xiaozhuang, don't forget who you are."

"Don't worry."

After saying that, Xiao Zhuang went out. Zhuo Man poured a glass of red wine, shook the wine glass gently, the blood-like liquid gently hung on the wine glass, and tasted a little, at this time Zhuo Man was a little worried. Zhuo Man actually doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, she doesn't seek glory and wealth, she doesn't seek to become famous, she just wants the family ugliness of the year not to make the reputation of the Zhuo family known to the world, but if Fang Fan continues to investigate, it will be sooner or later.

"Team, where are we going?"

"Go to the beach."

"Why don't you let your sister-in-law accompany you?"

"I'm starting to like men."

Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan with a nervous expression.

"You really believe it."

Fang Fan parked the car in front of the aquarium, and he and Zhang Ze quietly slipped into the staff's locker room. Locker No. 5, he opened the door, and there was a set of diving equipment inside, and there was a small note on the cabinet door: Shark House.

The two came to the shark pavilion, and Fang Fan went down alone and asked Zhang Ze to meet him on the shore. It is said that when encountering a shark, as long as it does not move, it will not attack, Fang Fan carefully slid along the wall to the bottom of the pool, there was a man-made shipwreck landscape at the bottom, there was a hole in the stern, intuition told Fang Fan that there was something in it, when he went in to rummage, suddenly a bloody mouth came at him, he shrank sharply and remained still, the shark swam over his head, fortunately it was just a young shark. After a while, he found a disc and a key inside.

Fang Fan surfaced, and Zhang Ze was already a little impatient.

"Why did you come up?"

"I almost lost my feed."

Back at Fang Fan's house, they couldn't wait to turn on the computer and click on the contents of the disc. The footage is a little shaky, but after a while the picture gradually stabilizes, and the image quality seems to have been copied from a past videotape. A large iron gate, a black sedan with license plate number A • 88066. The picture began to shake again, as if fast-forwarding, and the shaking picture was stable again, and suddenly there was a fire and explosion in the frame, and the camera fell to the ground, and a terrible fire was being staged inside.

"This should be the surveillance video of the villa fire that year."

At this time, Zhang Ze had quietly filmed the video, and then passed it to Zhuo Man.

"So what do we do next?"

"When you go back to the police station, you immediately investigate the license plate number, that should be a breakthrough."

On the way back to the police station, Zhang Ze received a text message from Zhuo Man: fully assist Fang Fan to find out the person behind it.

After Zhang Ze left, Zhuo Man thought clearly, instead of blindly stopping Fang Fan, it was better to find out who the murderer of Ye Di was, now not only Lao Zhong is dead, but there is also such a video, which shows that everything was planned by someone in advance, instead of being passive and defensive, it is better to take the initiative to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and then get rid of it, so that the secret can be buried forever.

Fang Fan watched the video repeatedly, and suddenly he found that there was a room in the video that was not on fire, and then looked closely at the figure that flashed inside. Fang Fan looked at the key in his hand again, and he decided to go to the villa again.

At 2:15 a.m. on April 23, 2019, the police station received a report that Ye Guozhong, a patient from Zhonghai Psychiatric Hospital, had been killed in the ward.
