An inch of time is an inch of gold.

Time never waits for anyone, and the days always pass quickly, like a white horse passing by, but it never looks back.

The fastest and slowest in the world, the longest and shortest, the most mundane and the most precious, the most easily overlooked, and the most regrettable is time.

It always slips away inadvertently, and by the time you come back to your senses, it's already a mess.

......

Aunt Meng finished the day's work and took the bus home as usual, she washed up early and went to rest.

The night passed.

Morning

She was ready to catch the earliest bus to go to work as usual.

The days go on and on every day.

Aunt Meng came to the bus stop,

The morning bus hadn't come yet, but there were already a lot of people waiting for the bus, and passers-by were standing in groups of five or six beside her, and she didn't squeeze over.

Aunt Meng walked a few steps casually next to the platform,

suddenly

In the blink of an eye, she saw the sign next to the bus stop,

A portrait was pasted.

"Hey, why does it seem familiar?"

She approached the sign, took a closer look,

This is a notice to find the body.

Aunt Meng sighed in her heart, the woman in this painting was extremely familiar.

"Isn't this my neighbor in the same community?"

She thought about it carefully, it was true that she hadn't seen her for a while, and she asked her husband where she had gone a few days ago.

"Didn't her husband say that she went back to her parents' house to visit relatives?"

"Actually, dead!?"

"How could it be ......"

Frightened in my heart,

Then she thought about it,

"Is it ......?"

She suddenly remembered what she had seen and heard over the years,

However, with her husband's character, would she really do such a thing?

Aunt Meng immediately took out her mobile phone, dialed the special police number on the notice, and told the criminal police team what she knew.

......

In the criminal police team,

After Chen Xu received the fax from Lin Fan, he immediately continued to use sketch photos to compare the missing persons.

But after the comparison was still fruitless, he arranged for someone to make a corpse search announcement for the sketch portrait, and spent a night urgently posting it, hoping that an acquaintance would call the police to give clues after seeing it.

The reason why the public security system is not used to compare the people in the whole city is that the workload is too large and inaccurate, and it is just a similar rather than accurate portrait of a person.

It can only be hoped that there are acquaintances of the deceased who can see it.

In order to be able to post it in time, Chen Xu also asked his colleagues from other public security bureaus in the city to help, so that he could complete this huge workload in one night.

I have to say that this kind of efficiency is extremely powerful.

After completing this task late at night, Chen Xu went back to rest.

early morning

Chen Xu got up early to go to work,

However, he received a call halfway through,

"Hey."

"Hey, Team Chen, there's a clue, hurry up."

"Coming soon."

Chen Xu hung up the phone, hurried to the criminal police team, and found the criminal police team member who called him just now, the newcomer Xiao Li.

"How?"

"Team Chen, our police officer just received a call to report the case, and some people said that the deceased was her neighbor, and the address was in Guanzhou Village, Minhou."

"Okay, gather the team and go immediately."

"Yes, Team Chen."

Chen Xu didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he immediately led the team to rush to the community mentioned by the informant.

The criminal police team quickly rushed to the downstairs of the residents of the community.

Chen Xu got out of the car,

"Lao Zhang, you take a few to ask the nearby residents, Xiao Li, you take a few people to guard the intersections of the community, and the others follow me to the deceased's house."

"Yes, Team Chen."

After a simple arrangement, Chen Xu immediately led people into the residential building of the community, and according to the investigation information, the deceased lived on the first floor of this building.

Led the team to the door of the house on the first floor,

Knock –

Knock –

Knock –

Chen Xu knocked on the door,

Step –

Step –

Step –

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the room, and then the locked door was opened from the inside.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man in his forties, with half-length messy hair that seemed to have not been taken care of for some days, thick lips, and a scruffy beard with a mediocre appearance.

His body had begun to hunch, making him even more low, who was not tall.

It's a little strange, I started to hunch over at this age, I don't know if it's because of too much pressure at work.

When he saw the group of people at the door, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and then he understood.

He probably guessed the purpose of the visitor.

Open all the doors without any thoughts of escape, and let the person at the door enter.

Chen Xu took the lead and walked in,

Straight to the point asked,

"Who are you He Xiaomei?"

"It's my wife."

The middle-aged man replied, his tone a little restrained.

To put it bluntly, he is a little low-voiced and has a weak personality.

Chen Xu probably knew why he started to hunchback, as a professional criminal investigator, he could see a lot of things from a person's words and deeds.

In fact, he was crushed by himself.

Being too weak, he chooses to endure and passively bear everything he encounters, and always lowers his posture, so his head is getting lower and lower, and his back is bent more and more.

He has carried too many things that ordinary people can't imagine, and he has endured too many things that ordinary people can't understand.

"Do you know why we're here?" Chen Xu continued to ask.

"Yes."

The man replied honestly, with his head bowed, his hands clasped tightly, and his fingers kept swinging.

"I did it."

Walking into the living room with Chen Xu, he slowly sat on the sofa.

As if resigned to his fate, the middle-aged man said it all one by one.

It turned out that the relationship between the 40-year-old deceased He Mou and her husband Fan, that is, the middle-aged man in front of him, has always been discordant, and the two often fight over family trivialities.

Fan has a low status at home, swallows his anger all year round, and avoids it again and again.

The deceased, He, once publicly lived with a 70-year-old man, and later even adopted a lover in his 30s. One night more than a week ago, the deceased He filed for divorce, and Fan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the two immediately fought.

Fan, an honest middle-aged man, finally became murderous, brutally killed his wife with a kitchen knife and divided her body into six pieces.

How crazy can a person really be when they lose their minds? Chen Xu felt deeply.

In fact, there is a devil hidden in everyone's heart, which is composed of greed, hatred, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, lust and other thoughts in human nature.

And when a person loses his mind, then the constraints of law and morality will become like a blank sheet of paper that can be blown and broken, and there is no deterrence at all.

At this time, the devil in the human heart will break through the cage and control the words and deeds of that person.

At this time, he only has the madness of breaking through the bottom line in his heart, regardless of the consequences and costs, and vows not to give up until he reaches his goal.

A few years ago, when he was undercover at the border, Chen Xu saw too many crazy people who tied their lives to their belts.

They walk on the tip of a knife and never imagine the future and tomorrow.

In their eyes, there is only the present moment.

In order to fight for that very small probability, bet everything on the immediate interests.

So, when they go crazy, the consequences can be really serious.

Don't try to release the devil in your heart, whether it's your own or someone else's.

When the dog is in a hurry, it will also jump over the wall.

Every year, many unsung heroes fall to the frontier, including his former teammates, and even he almost can't come back in an accident.

Thinking of that experience, the hideous scar on Chen Xu's body seemed to be aching.

If someone with an introverted personality like Fan is forced to such a point, the damage they have caused may be even greater and irreparable.

"The two of us have been married for more than 20 years, and for more than 20 years, I have endured all kinds of problems with her, and she can do whatever she wants, and I never dare to have the slightest opinion."

"She wants to take care of the family's money, okay, I gave it, except for the expenses of various expenses in life, I gave her all my salary!"

"She said she didn't want to have children, okay, I agreed, I wore tao for the few times I had sex in the past 20 years!"

"She wants to live with Old Man Li, okay, I agreed, I will let the master bedroom out for the two of them to sleep, and I sleep on the sofa every day!"

"She later raised a little white face, okay, I endured it again, anyway, after so many years, I still have something I can't bear!"

"But, why, why did I tolerate it everywhere, again and again, and she still asked me for divorce!?"

Fan, a middle-aged man, sat on the sofa, and there were still stains of blood on the edge of the sofa, which were splashing.

As he spoke, his face was bloodshot, his muscles exposed, hysterical,

"Why?"

"Haven't I done enough?"

"Haven't I endured enough?"

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"Why can't she live the rest of her life with me?"

"I don't want to hurt her, I really don't want to, but that day, she said she wanted to divorce me!"

"Divorce?"

"Hehehe, divorce!"

"Really, when I don't have a temper? I'm putting up with it everywhere just so I can continue to live with her!"

"She's going to divorce me!"

"I don't know why, I really can't stand it anymore when I hear this."

"I don't know where I got the courage, I threw her to the ground, took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and pointed it at her, slashing her into six pieces, knife after knife."

Speaking of this, the man's excited emotions slowly cooled down, and he stared at Chen Xu in front of him,

"After dismembering her, I threw her head to the suburbs, because I didn't want to see her face again, so I cut off her nose and threw it along with her feet."

"Everything else, all thrown down the drain."

"I know you're going to come to you sooner or later, I've been waiting."

"Today, it's finally here."

After saying this, the man let out a long breath,

"Hoo ......"

As relieved,

The whole person lay on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling, not knowing what to think.

Chen Xu frowned, didn't say a word, looked at the criminal police team members behind him, and said,

"Take it away."
