In 2006, on a cold spring morning, the dilapidated corridor was crowded with people inside and outside, and the police cordon surrounded the entire fifth floor, and the white-clothed forensic personnel had already arrived.

Gu Qiusha hadn't put on makeup for three months, her black hair had grown a lot, and she didn't dare to look in the mirror before going out, imagining that she was Sadako in the eyes of others. Panting, she climbed the stairs and pushed through the crowd of onlookers to the door of the murder scene.

Officer Huang Hai stretched out his hand to stop her: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, the on-site investigation is not over yet, you can't go in." ”

"What about people?" She no longer cares about her image, and cries out in a rage, "Where are the people? ”

His face was as silent as a black stone, and Gu Qiusha couldn't resist his hand no matter what.

A few minutes later, a body was lifted out of the door.

Finally freed from the policeman's arm, she threw herself onto the body's stretcher, the white cloth slipping off with a bang, revealing a distorted and aging face.

In 1995, after her death, she did not look at the body, nor did she know what it would be like if she was killed. I finally saw it today, it was still a freshly baked corpse, although the skin was cold, the muscles were not stiff, and the joints were almost able to move, but the face was so terrible, full of shame, regret, anger, horror, and despair......

Gu Changlong's face.

His chest was completely red with blood, and a deep wound could be seen with the naked eye, cutting through the left side of his ribs, presumably directly to the heart.

Officer Huang Hai grabbed her again to prevent her from rolling down the stairs with the body, and she got up and slapped him. And he was unmoved, and said like no one else: "Mourning and change." ”

"Who did it? Did the killer get caught? ”

She wiped her tears and lowered her head to prevent the police from seeing her vulnerability.

"Don't you know the address?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your husband Lu Zhongyue—"

"It's my ex-husband."

Few people dared to interrupt him, and Officer Huang Hai remained expressionless: "This is where he lives." ”

"Retribution!"

Gu Qiusha gritted her teeth and spit out these two words.

After the bankruptcy of Erya Education Group, Lu Zhongyue's good life was less than a month before his account was frozen by the bank. His company in Hong Kong was also deregistered for illegal transactions. Several creditors came out for no reason, and the court seized his latest property and car. Within a few days, he became pauperized and had to move to a slum.

The door suddenly opened, and the policemen in white coats were retreating, and there were many things collected in the evidence bag. A policeman with a black bag that looked like it was containing heavy items whispered as he passed through the Yellow Sea, "The murder weapon has been found." ”

"It's clearer." Huang Hai leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette and lit a fire, "Community surveillance records show that around one o'clock in the middle of the night, your father came here, knocked on the door and entered Lu Zhongyue's room. After an hour, Lu Zhongyue carried a travel bag and left in a hurry. ”

"He killed his own father-in-law?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Gu Qiusha felt ridiculous, when did Lu Zhongyue treat Gu Changlong as his father-in-law, not to mention that he was already divorced.

"Surveillance records have been recorded until this morning, and no one has been in or out of the room again. When the old lady in the neighborhood got up to exercise early, she complained to the security guard that it was very noisy next door in the middle of the night last night, and it seemed to be the sound of two men arguing and fighting. The security guard curiously watched the surveillance video and alertly called the police, only to find the body. ”

"But why did Dad come here late at night?" Gu Qiusha became more and more frightened, she pulled Huang Hai's arm and said, "Can you let me take another look at the murder weapon?" ”

A minute later, the police opened the black bag and pulled out a large Swiss Army knife, the kind that opened the edge enough to be fatal - the blade and hilt were stained with blood.

"That's right, I recognize this knife, I brought it back from a trip to Switzerland last year, a limited edition, and it has not been sold in China."

"Was this knife taken away by Lu Zhongyue?"

"No, I gave this knife to Dad. Two days ago, I saw him holding the knife, looking out the window, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to think about it. ”

"If you say that, it means that your father came to Lu Zhongyue with a knife late at night, maybe to discuss a very important matter, or he may have come to kill someone. As a result, he died, and Lu Zhongyue fled. The murder weapon was left in the corner of the scene, and as for whether the knife was fatal, a forensic examination is still needed. ”

She knelt on the ground in confusion: "My father is sixty-five years old, his health has always been poor, and he has to take many medicines every day, how can he be a murderer?" ”

"The reason is very simple, the bankruptcy of Erya Education Group is said to be because of an internal ghost, and this person is the chairman's son-in-law, right?"

Father is here to seek revenge? But due to old age and frailty, not only did he fail to kill Lu Zhongyue, but he was killed by the murder weapon he brought in the fight?

"Yes, I would love to kill him! Lu Zhongyue! ”

"The police are deploying all over the city, and the airport, train station, and bus station have all issued arrest warrants, and we are trying to find him by all means. Miss Gu, do you know where he will abscond? ”

"I don't know, when I didn't divorce him, I didn't talk much at home, so I really don't know where else he can hide." Gu Qiusha grabbed her hair in a disdainful manner, pulled the policeman's arm and said, "Officer Huang, this person is very, very dangerous, and he may come to take revenge on me!" ”

"I'll catch Lu Zhongyue."

This short sentence, coming out of Huang Hai's mouth, was calm and powerful.

What flashed in Gu Qiusha's mind was the eleven-year-old boy - she had just signed the legal document and dissolved the mother-son relationship with Wang'er.

He changed his name to Si Wang.
