In mid-December, S City was swiped by a piece of news.

In the basement of a five-star hotel, a dead male body was found, because he had been dead for a long time, his body had festered and rotted and was difficult to identify, and some strange things were that his body was naked only with a bow tie around his neck.

Because he didn't have any documents or items to prove his identity, everything is still under investigation.

As soon as this article came out, public opinion was in an uproar, because it was close to the end of the year, and it also caused considerable panic among the citizens.

Netizens were boiling and made a series of speculations about the cause of the deceased's death.

Feudal superstition says that this method of death is a so-called sacrificial ritual.

The rational speculation is that the murderer did not do so despite having enough time to destroy the body, which is obviously an open provocation to both the masses and the legal system.

There is also a deeper but more superficial speculation that the murderer let the deceased be exposed in this posture, which is just a simple insult to him.

But either inference is too sensational.

The relevant departments of S City ordered that the case must be solved as soon as possible in order to appease the people.

This news, from the first day it was exposed, Jin Xiaoshao has already known about it through TV and various APP pushes.

In the past, she didn't pay much attention to these murder or social cases, as for why this one attracted special attention, it was probably because the hotel where the crime occurred was the same one they held their anniversary celebration before.

But other than that, there is no other attention.

It wasn't until three days later that the criminal investigation team came to the door, to be precise, it should have found the company, said that it was an investigation of the case, and to understand the situation.

At that time, I realized that the one who died turned out to be Minister Fang.

When Jin Xiaoshao heard the news, he gasped and was shocked.

She had seen the photos circulating on the Internet, not to mention identifying who it was, but it was already very confirmed whether it was a person who went to the bone shelf, because the degree of decay of the corpse was really very bad.

And what shocked her was that he had replied to her text message a few days ago......

How can it rot to that extent in a few days?

Jin Xiaoxuan was inexplicably a little flustered in his heart.

What the hell?

The criminal investigation team is checking the colleagues in the planning department one by one and understanding the situation, but after all, there are forty people, which is quite time-consuming.

In fact, in addition to the accident in the planning department, the other people who participated in the dance that day have also been investigated at the same time, and the whole workload is still very large.

While waiting, Jin Xiaoshao went to the bathroom, and as soon as he left the office door, he bumped into someone who came, "I'm ...... You'd better go slower. ”

She rubbed her head vigorously, and the person who hit her said, 'Huh? 'snort', and then: "Jin Xiaoshao?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao raised his eyes and even carefully identified it, "Shen Yun? ”

Originally, it was just a one-sided relationship, and it was really not easy to recognize that he was wearing a work uniform today.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yun asked.

"I... Unit. ”

Shen Yun nodded clearly, "Then we can't talk more today." ”

He pointed to the police badge on his chest, and Jin Xiaoshao immediately understood that he was here to perform official duties.

She put her mouth in one slap, then made an OK gesture, and the two of them pursed their lips and smiled, and left separately.

She was a little surprised that Shen Yun actually did a criminal investigation?

But think about the shaft when I first met, it also means a little bit, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental and meet it at this juncture.

After all, the game is not bad, but he doesn't have much to talk about when he is on official business, Jin Xiaoxuan pondered, let's talk about it when I have a chance to go back.

After thinking about it, the person had already arrived at the door of the bathroom, Jin Xiaoshao entered the lattice, and before he could turn around and close the door, he was blocked inside, and with a click, the bolt fell.

She was about to shout subconsciously, but when she turned around, she saw someone coming.

Rong Sheng??

"Are you perverted?"

Rong Sheng raised his hand to signal her to silence, and then his voice was very low and low, "Did you inquire about you?" ”

Jin Xiaoxiao shook his head.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "I asked, it's basically a few regular questions, you just need to answer them normally, as for what happened that night and your personal grudge with the surname Fang, you are not allowed to mention a word." ”

Rong Sheng's eyes were cold, his expression and tone were fierce, and Jin Xiaoshao looked a little scared.

He stared at her and asked, "Remember?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao knew that it was not the time to argue, so he immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

Rong Sheng's expression softened, he couldn't stay longer, raised his hand and opened the door buckle, and said before leaving, "Don't be afraid, just calm down." ”

"I'm here for everything." When he said this, he only glanced at Jin Xiaoshao, and then quickly left.

She stood there until his footsteps were far away, and she didn't come to her senses.

He seems to ......

Overnervous?

Not long after she returned, it was her turn to ask, and it was indeed just some routine questions.

For example, the relationship with the deceased, as well as the daily situation, the disputes between him and other colleagues, and whether there were any special manifestations before the incident.

After speaking, I probably didn't think it was detailed enough, so I added, "The time of the crime is the day of your anniversary." ”

Jin Xiaoshao: ......

Such a coincidence?

"No, I took a leave of absence for the first two days, and I wasn't there."

"Leave? Why take a leave of absence? ”

Jin Xiaoshao: "On sick leave, I was supposed to go up to dance, but I was injured during practice, so I didn't make it to the anniversary ball." ”

The interrogating police officer recorded it, and there were no other questions, telling her to go back first, and she might pass at any time.

Jin Xiaoshao replied in a proper manner, and then walked out of the conference room.

There were also two police officers in the office observing, and when she returned to her desk, she turned on the computer, anyway, what should she do, and the whole room was quiet all afternoon, as if something was quiet, and it was depressing.

After interrogating all the people, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

After the members of the criminal investigation team were withdrawn, the people in the office finally eased up, and they complained one by one, "It's too scary......

Jin Xiaoshao didn't stay long, and went downstairs after packing up his things.

After a tense afternoon, her mind finally fell, and she was actually a little distracted when the officer was talking, but fortunately, it passed with a little cover-up.

Minister Fang died on the day of the anniversary, and he was still in that place......

It's not that simple.

She made a phone call to Chen Huai, didn't say anything specific, just asked him where he was, and then took a taxi directly and went over.

When she arrived at the place, Chen Huai was already waiting for her at the door.

It rained one day, and the temperature was a little low, so he put his coat on her, "What's the matter, can't you say it on the phone?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao looked at his clothes, then at him, trying to find something from his expression, and after a few seconds, she lowered her voice, "Did you make the surname Fang?" ”

Chen Huai: ......

The news was overwhelming, and of course he knew about it, but he didn't expect her to come to him so directly to ask him.

He didn't speak, Jin Xiaoshao was a little flustered, but tried to stay calm: "Uncle Chen? ”

"No, don't guess."

His answer was neat, and his tone and demeanor were also very indifferent, looking more like a state where he had thought of words in advance and was waiting for her to ask.

"Uncle Chen, this is a terrible thing, if you did it, you can tell me frankly."

What's in the limelight right now? All gangs are following suit, and even behaving with their tails between their legs, who would dare to do such a thing?

Chen Huai saw that she was very nervous, reached out to hold her arms, and soothed: "Whistle, relax, I didn't do it." ”

Jin Xiaoshao looked directly at him, his face suspicious.

Chen Huai continued: "Really. If you think about it, that beast dares to do that kind of thing to you, it's definitely not the first time you've done it, so you'll definitely make other friends, enemies. From my professional point of view, they just happened to choose that time and place to retaliate, or maybe it was just to cover up people's eyes and confuse the public, understand? ”

He said it very clearly, and Jin Xiaoshao also listened very carefully.

This analysis is not unreasonable, looking at Minister Fang's appearance of being familiar with the road, it is not the first time to do it, and even if he is already familiar with the road, just say that the dose grasped by the drug can make people have no power to refute it in one or two bites.

And some people are not as lucky as her, there is no one to help, they are more hurt, and there is no way to turn for help, so they can only choose this extreme act of revenge.

This seems like a reasonable set of assumptions.

Jin Xiaoshao looked at Chen Huai suspiciously: "It's really not you?" ”

Chen Huai stretched out three fingers, "It's really not, don't worry." ”

Jin Xiaoshao finally breathed a sigh of relief again, "Damn, it really scared me to death one day." ”

Chen Huai encircled the person in his arms and patted him.

She instructed again, "Uncle Chen, you are also wandering in the gray area for a living, and now you have to be careful in everything in this extraordinary period..."

"So concerned about me?"

After he said that, Jin Xiaoshao suddenly found himself in his arms, and hurriedly took two steps back and withdrew, "You are a ...... You ...... if you're not serious."

Chen Huai couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm not that old, am I?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao glanced at him, "I'm leaving." ”

"I'll send you."

"No, no, I'll take a taxi myself, and you can continue to wave." After saying that, he ran away.

Chen Huai saw her go away, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, he dialed a phone and went out, and connected it after a while.

"Rong Sheng, you're too careless." His voice was low, "It's hard to end this movement now that it's so big." ”

"I've got it."

"It's not something you can get past if you have a number, just in case...... Do you know what the consequences are? I thought you'd be unaware! ”

Rong Sheng was silent for a moment, and his tone was light, "God doesn't know the ghost? He doesn't deserve it. ”

"You can't put yourself in it."

"I'm not that stupid."
