I said coldly: "Some cases are not solved with wisdom, but can be solved by brute force." ”

After saying that, I rushed forward with a lunge to catch this strange man. My idea is very simple, this weirdo of mine is actually a subordinate of the Qu Mo crime group that I provoked, as long as I catch this weirdo, maybe all problems can be solved.

The strange man appeared in front of me, I knew he should have come prepared, but I didn't know, he was too terrible to prepare.

As I was just rushing up, I heard a boom and a pillar of fire rushed out of one of the hospital's laneways.

I subconsciously stopped and looked at the flames.

"Not good!" This flame is spewing from the direction of the operating room, isn't it?

I stared at my eyes and tried to keep my composure, I hoped it was another hallucination. However, it is not, because the hospital's automatic sprinkler has been turned on, and the water droplets on the face can clearly feel the cold and biting.

The hospital was in a mess and screams were everywhere.

The flame flickered, but the panic it caused made me no longer have time to care about the weirdo and the child.

I rushed to the aisle where the fire was glowing, and it was not damaged by the flames, but some of the hygiene leaflets on the walls were curled up by the heat.

Tang Zhenguo was using his coat to block the falling water droplets for Chi Xue and Chi Xue's mother at this time.

I asked Tang Zhenguo, "What happened just now?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "I don't know, suddenly there was a fire rushing outside, it looked terrible, fortunately it didn't cause a fire, but it triggered these sprinklers." ”

It seems that this is a trap deliberately set by the weirdos, and the principle should be that the flammable material is burned and extinguished instantly, and the heat is generated to trigger the automatic fire extinguisher.

But strangely, when this mechanism is triggered, there is no one in this tunnel? I know it can't be a coincidence.

I found that there were two surveillance cameras in this alleyway, and my first instinct was that these cameras were controlled by the Qumo criminal group, and they were able to confirm the situation at the scene.

Qu Mo is not*, he has a purpose when he commits crimes, and he will not casually kill civilians, so triggering this flame mechanism should specifically avoid pedestrians.

But this still shocked me, which showed that Qu Mo had the ability to kill anyone around me.

Fortunately, the flame did not affect the process of the operation, and the spray on the ceiling had long since stopped, and the hospital security and staff came here to maintain the continuity, and the scene was noisy.

I squeezed through the crowd, but nowhere could I find the strange man and the child.

Chi Xue's father's operation was successful, he was in a coma caused by a cerebral infarction, and he is still in the intensive care unit.

Tang Zhenguo was worried about Chi Xue, so he always accompanied their mother and daughter.

I joined the criminal investigation team and continued to follow up on the case of Qigu Investment Company, but it was difficult to figure it out.

After two days in a trance, I received a new murder case.

This case is very strange, and the strange thing is not the modus operandi, but the victim.

The victim was none other than Qi Wenguang of Qigu Investment Company.

But didn't this Qi Wenguang fall to his death earlier?

But through the confirmation of the family, the deceased is indeed Qi Wenguang. Then there is only one possibility, the person who fell to his death is an impostor.

This Qi Wenguang died in a rented house, and after an autopsy at the forensic center, it was found that he was shot into the head by a steel ball.

This is a strange way of dying, as it can be seen from the position of the penetration, the steel ball enters through the back of the head and stops at the top of the head.

It was a bottom-up blow, and it was clear that the killer was crouching on the ground and shooting. But why did the killer crouch on the ground? I think there's a more accurate idea that the killer isn't crouching on the ground, but the killer is quite short.

Then from the recent series of cases, there is a person who fits this method of killing. That's the kid who gave me hallucinogens.

I had previously deduced that the child was pretending to be a dwarfism, so he was actually an adult. I think this dwarf is also obviously a professional killer who has been trained by the Qumer criminal syndicate.

Now the big question is why did Qi Wenguang die a second time? So who was Qi Wenguang before?

Lao Lu and I came out of the forensic appraisal center, Lao Lu was smoking a cigarette and was a little haggard.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, and I could tell from the shape of his mouth that he was going to spit out a smoke ring, but it was cold and windy outside, how could he be made to spit out a smoke ring.

I know that this is a way for Lao Lu to relieve his inner pressure.

He vomited a few more times, but still didn't manage to spit out a smoke ring.

I was puzzled and asked, "How can such a strong wind spit out smoke rings?" ”

Lao Lu took another puff of cigarette, spit twice, still failed, then stopped, looked at the sky and said, "I know, it is impossible to spit out the smoke ring in this cold wind." So in our current situation, can these cases be solved? ”

I knew that this was the anxiety in Lao Lu's heart, and he also saw that I was stumped by this case.

I took out my cigarette and wanted to light it, but after thinking about it, I put it back in my pocket, and for some reason, I smoked cigarettes like wax lately.

I even wondered if I would quit smoking.

I also stood and looked at the thick clouds in the sky, which seemed to have not changed in this season. It was so thick that it seemed to fall at any moment, but it never fell, not even a drop of rain.

I looked at Lao Lu and said, "How many years have we been cooperating?" ”

Lao Lu took a puff of cigarette and said, "It's been fifteen or sixteen years." ”

I said, "Fifteen years, two hundred and seventeen days." ”

Lao Lu smiled: "You remember it quite clearly." ”

I said, "Do you remember the first time we solved the case?" ”

Lao Lu clasped his hands to his chest, held a short piece of cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and said: "I remember, it was a case of a fisherman who killed his wife and his wife's lover. ”

I looked at the sky and shook my head: "Yes, it was that case that changed my life, and I learned the dark side of the human heart." The cheating wife and lover were killed by the husband, who was also sentenced to death. From a legal point of view, this is a matter of course, but from a human point of view, I think the fisherman's approach is understandable. But in the end, I was on the side of the law. ”

Lao Lu said: "Yes, this kind of love and revenge case is the saddest, there have been tragic things emotionally, and then in the end it ended with an even more tragic death." ”

I looked at Lao Lu and said, "Maybe death can liberate everything." ”

Lao Lu shook his head and said: "I don't think so, I think people still have to look forward, just like the fisherman, if he can let go of the hatred in his heart and live again, maybe he already has his own family, wife and children now, and the previous misfortune may have already become the spice of life that he occasionally remembers." ”

I looked at Lao Lu, smiled and said, "Comrade Lu Jinfeng's consciousness is still high." But I really don't want to understand the relationship between men and women, because they are really more difficult to understand than the thoughts of criminals. ”

Lao Lu smiled and did not refute my opinion.

We began to walk forward, although none of us mentioned whether we were going to go to the criminal investigation team, but we did not stop and stop to hitchhiking, because this was not the first time we walked back to the criminal investigation team.

Moreover, on the road from the forensic center to the criminal investigation team, we have successfully sorted out no less than 30 cases.

Perhaps we are all expecting that on this road, we will be able to sort out the cases of the investment companies again.

Our pace is relatively consistent, neither fast nor slow. There was a Coke bottle outside the trash can in front, and Lao Lu bent down and threw the Coke bottle into the trash can. This habit was developed when he joined the mountain bike team eight years ago, because the team often rides in the mountains and forests, so it is required to be environmentally conscious and not littering.

I remember Lao Lu told me a little story, when he joined the cycling team for the first time to go to Da Yakou, he took a break halfway, and his fellow riders gave him a piece of chewing gum. As he peeled off the wrapper of the gum, everyone stared at him. He didn't know what these people were looking at the time, but later these people all smiled approvingly at Lao Lu for only one reason. It was he who crumpled the peeled gum wrapper into a ball and put it in the pocket of his cycling jersey.

I laughed at him at the time, these people want to know your character through a piece of chewing gum, to see if you are worth making friends. It turned out that Lao Lu was a reliable and loyal friend.

After Lao Lu threw the cola bottle into the trash, he stood up and suddenly said to me: "By the way, is Tang Zhenguo's father-in-law better?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is not Tang Zhenguo's father-in-law who is sick, but the father of Tang Zhenguo's girlfriend Chi Xue." Much better, has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. ”

Lao Lu said: "This Tang Zhenguo looks like a meaty face, and he can make such a young and beautiful girlfriend, it's really a blessing." ”

I smiled and said, "What, are the old comrades very envious?" ”

Old Lu Haha smiled and said: "How is it possible, even if you have this idea, can my tigress let me go?" And I am a man who is dedicated and loyal, both to the party and to the family. ”

I cocked my thumb and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a party or a family to be loyal to, but Napoleon said that to judge whether a person's character is noble or not, it depends on whether he is patriotic." I'm still very patriotic, and it seems that I'm also a good man. ”

Lao Lu glanced at me and said, "Do you really plan to be single for the rest of your life?" ”

"When I decided to pursue a career as a detective, I didn't plan to start a family, and I thought that family matters would have an impact on my detective thinking," I said. ”

Lao Lu shook his head and said, "Your idea is too extreme. However, in the world, each has its own way of living, each has its own thoughts, and it is arbitrary. ”

As we walked on, there seemed to be a lot less traffic in the afternoon, but it was still more than when there was no Chinese New Year.

Under the street trees on the road, some workers in light blue uniforms are wrapping colorful lights around the street trees, and it seems that the city will become more brilliant at night in the near future.

After walking a little further, we didn't say anything all the way, in fact, I knew that Lao Lu wanted to communicate with me about some problems in the case, but he didn't have a clue now, and he didn't know where to start.

In fact, I'm the same, this case is getting more and more bizarre, I just vaguely feel that Qi Wenguang should be a breakthrough, now I have an idea, but this idea is still combing in my mind, and after I finish sorting it out clearly, I will naturally explain it to Lao Lu.

At this time, a stall appeared on the side of the road, and the stall was full of Spring Festival couplets, New Year paintings, lanterns, and so on. A middle-aged woman wrapped in a red woolen scarf, this scarf should be some years old, both in terms of color and knitting techniques, it can be seen that this is a product of the last century.

"Spring Festival couplets New Year paintings, Spring Festival couplets New Year paintings." The woman's voice was hoarse and dry, and it seemed that she had been shouting here for a while, but it could be seen from the stock on the stall that she had not sold much.

Lao Lu stopped at this time, staring at a New Year's painting on the stall.

"How much does it cost to paint this year?" Lao Lu pointed to the big red New Year painting that was peaceful and peaceful.

"Five bucks." The woman pulled the scarf down from her mouth and said with a smile.

Lao Lu looked at me and said, "It's only five yuan, which is quite cheap." ”

I nodded, in fact, I just casually agreed, as for this nod, I don't know what it means. Because I don't know if such a New Year's picture is expensive or cheap to sell for five yuan.

Lao Lu may have seen me nodding, so he smiled and said to the woman: "Like this, come to ten." ”

The woman smiled and bloomed, and even claimed that it was, and picked out ten big red New Year paintings of 'Sui Sui Ping' from the stall. When she took Lao Lu's fifty yuan, she nodded and laughed continuously.

The woman carefully wrapped the ten New Year's paintings with red wrapping paper, and then tied a yellow rubber band tightly on the paper tube, and respectfully handed it to Lao Lu.

Lao Lu also showed a rare smile on his face, yes, when you are a policeman, what you look forward to most is 'peace in the years'.

Leaving the stall, we continued to walk like a criminal investigation team.

Lao Lu held the painting of that year, and he walked a lot briskly. He said to me with a smile: "You can take one back later, it's going to be the New Year, and you have to be lucky." ”

I smiled slightly, and only then did I recall that Lao Lu had said this sentence to me for more than ten years, although it was only said this time every year, but I remember it very clearly.

I said, "Okay. ”

Lao Lu snorted and continued to stride forward, white mist erupting from his mouth and nose.

I walked beside him, putting my hands in the pockets of my coat, and only then did I feel like I was slowly getting warmer, perhaps after walking such a long distance, and reaching a warm amount of exercise.

I exhaled deeply and said, "I have a hypothesis in the case of Qitou Investment Company. ”

Lao Lu was striding forward, and when he heard my cold words, he stood up for a moment, frowned, and then said, "Let's hear it." ”

After speaking, he took out the Hongtashan 1956 on his body and handed me one.

We each took out our lighters and lit cigarettes, as if men couldn't help but light a cigarette when discussing something important.

This habit is not good and is not good for health. Everyone knows that everyone is unrepentant when they lie in front of their hospital bed.

I took a puff of my cigarette, followed the example of Lao Lu before, pouted and spit out a smoke ring.

Amazingly, he managed to spit out a smoke ring into the air.

Lao Lu also stopped, looking at the rising light blue smoke ring, thinking in his heart.

A bus drove by quickly, and the wind it picked up shook the blue smoke rings everywhere. Finally dissipated into the gray sky.

"This hypothesis of mine is about why Qi Wenguang died twice? Of course, he didn't die twice, but it wasn't Qi Wenguang who fell down the building for the first time. And I deduced before that the killer set himself on fire and jumped off the building, and his real purpose was not to commit suicide, but to destroy the body of the fake Qi Wenguang. At this point, the murderer deceived us all. Because he knew that Qi Wenguang had eyewitnesses before he fell from the building, and he had something real Qi Wenguang on him, so that his family could also identify it. This makes it impossible for us to make efforts to identify Qi Wenguang. This is also the reason why this assassination was so fanfare, rather than secretly killed behind the scenes, because the killer needs eyewitnesses. Then this can show that when the killer killed Qi Wenguang, he knew that the person he killed was not the real Qi Wenguang. ”

Lao Lu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Then it seems that this assassination incident will not be as simple as killing people. ”

I said, "Yes, Qi Wenguang used a stand-in to adjust the bag and let the killer kill the stand-in at the same time, is there any reason for this?" The most plausible reason I can think of is economic. I estimate that there is a huge economic problem between Qi Wenguang and Qigu Investment Company. If this economic problem is identified, it may be possible to solve this case. ”

Lao Lu held the cigarette to his lips and paused for a few seconds, he should be thinking, thinking about whether what I had assumed was possible.

Detection is a game, and sometimes a hypothesis is likely to coincide with the case. But more often than not, it's a world of difference.

The reason why Lao Lu has always invited me to be a consultant to the criminal investigation team is because my assumptions are quite accurate.

It's not that I'm boasting, it's my years of experience in handling cases, and it's also a talent of mine.

Lao Lu finally put the cigarette holder in his mouth, and took a hard sip, his cheeks sunken. The spark of the cigarette butt became unusually bright under his hard sucking, but this brightness, the rapid consumption of the tobacco, and finally, the tobacco part directly touched the filter.

Lao Lu threw the cigarette butt into the trash can not far away, and subconsciously threw a white milk carton outside the trash can into the trash can.

He turned around, his expression very calm and relaxed, because he and I both knew that this hypothesis was quite likely.

It seems that this magical road, we can walk more in the future.

For the rest of the way, we walked as fast as we could, taking off our coats and soaking our backs with sweat.

There are not many people in the criminal investigation team, and the criminal police have gone out to follow up on the case.

Lao Lu walked to the conference room, carefully opened the New Year's painting package in his hand, and found a roll of bright tape. We cut the bright tape into small pieces, wrapped the small pieces of bright tape, pasted them on the four corners of the reverse side of the New Year's painting, and finally pasted the New Year's picture one by one on the doors of the criminal investigation team.

This kind of pasting French style can hide the bright tape, making the New Year's painting more exquisite.

When posting the bright tape, Lao Lu also specially reminded me to leave a copy for myself, perhaps this careful work style is the main reason why he can become the captain of the criminal investigation team.

After all the paintings were posted, the entire criminal investigation team also had the atmosphere of the New Year. Lao Lu looked at these New Year's paintings with satisfaction, with a happy expression on his face.

I also stood beside Lao Lu, staring at the fact that peace is a big word, these four words are simple and simple, but they are the expectations of many people. Perhaps these four words may not mean so obvious to ordinary people, but for people who have been in dangerous work conditions for a long time, they are very meaningful.

At this time, Lao Lu dialed the phone: "Hey, is it the Economic Investigation Department?" I'm Lu Jinsong of the Criminal Investigation Team......"

Soon, the Economic Investigation Bureau began to investigate the investment company. Of course, before the results of the investigation came out, Lao Lu and I could only wait patiently.

But I provided the Criminal Investigation Bureau with a line of investigation, and that was to start with Kang Shengjun, because it is very likely that Kang Shengjun has extremely close economic ties with Qi Wenguang. Of course, this is easy to think of, a boss and a vice president, and they were killed at the same time, can they not have contact?

I also made a point that I wanted to investigate Wu Taiquan, because I gradually suspected that Wu Taiquan's death would not be so simple, and perhaps he was also related to this possible economic case.

The New Year's picture of the peace of the year was posted on the door by me, the New Year's picture on the door is sent by Lao Lu every year, although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but it also fulfilled the blessing of Lao Lu, I am indeed safe and peaceful, although there have been several brushes with death.

Tang Zhenguo seems to have been working very hard these days, and he looked a little tired when he entered the house.

I asked, "How's it going?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "It's much better. ”

I asked, "How are you doing with their families?" ”

Tang Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, then looked at me, thought about it, and suddenly the fatigue on his face disappeared, and he said with a smile: "It's much better." ”

I half-jokingly said, "How good?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "When taking care of her father, her mother also prepared meals for me, to be honest, that craftsmanship is really a must." ”

I smiled and said, "It looks like you're going to have another mother-in-law again." In this family, if the mother-in-law falls in love with her son-in-law, then the father-in-law doesn't have to say it. ”

"How do you know?" Tang Zhenguo asked puzzled.

I confidently said, "Don't ask me why, because I'm a detective." ”

Tang Zhenguo picked the back of his head, and the temperament of a tough guy disappeared, all of which were stupid and silly.
