After Tang Zhenguo went to see Chi Xue's parents, he began to be silent. I didn't ask anything, because I knew it wasn't going well.

Just looking at his dull face, I feel that this winter is even colder.

A retired veteran police officer of the criminal investigation team passed away, and I also knew this old police officer, and the memorial service was held in the funeral home, so I asked Lao Lu to go to the mourning together.

Tang Zhenguo, on the other hand, was depressed at home, and I said to him before leaving, "Maybe it would be better to drink some wine." ”

Tang Zhenguo smiled bitterly: "It's cold, I don't want to drink." ”

I shook my head, wrapped my shirt tightly, and walked out the door. I thought in my heart: children's private feelings, it seems that while giving happiness, they will also quietly give torture, maybe I never set foot in this aspect, it is the right choice.

In the funeral parlor, the uniformed police officers had heavy faces, and the old criminal policeman lay peacefully in the glass coffin, as if he was asleep. I know that this old comrade was made up by He Shu for his burial, and her perfect technique allows this old comrade to still be able to face his relatives and friends decently after his soul dissipates. Perhaps, in this way, his soul can ascend to heaven in peace.

Although, I don't think there is a soul in this world.

In the funeral home, you can always hear someone sobbing, which makes the atmosphere very depressing. I am not an emotional person, but I can feel the nostalgia of the relatives of my old comrades.

After admiring the grooming of my old comrades, I walked out of the funeral home, found a no-man's corner, and smoked alone.

At this time, someone slapped me in the back, and I turned around and saw Liu Lili, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black down jacket, standing behind me. I seemed to smell formalin again in an instant.

I don't hate the smell.

"Do you know Lu Lao?" I was the first to ask.

Liu Lili pushed the frame and said, "I know his son, he is my senior brother, who works at the forensic center in Chongqing. ”

I nodded, I have met Lu Lao's son a few times, he had not graduated from college at that time, and he was a very quiet teenager.

"He's after me." Liu Lili suddenly stepped forward to me and said to me in a small but provocative tone. Her eyes stared at me, and I realized that the eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses were not ugly.

"It's good, the people are good, you have the same job, it's a good match." I took a puff of my cigarette and said slowly. I mean what I said, and I didn't mean it in the slightest.

"But......" Liu Lili said two words, she pursed her lips and didn't say any more, something in her eyes was shining.

If she's a suspect, I'll figure it out from her every move, what she might have to say, what she's going to do.

But she is not a suspect, I don't need to use my professional skills to figure out her inner activities, even if I have the ability to figure out her thoughts, I won't do it, because I don't want to be like Tang Zhenguo.

At this slightly embarrassing time, I saw He Shu coming over. He Shu is a straightforward girl, and after he saw me for the first time, he asked directly: "Uncle, are you bullying my family Lili again?" ”

Liu Lili hurriedly turned around and pretended to say loudly: "How dare he? Only I bullied him. He giggled and laughed.

I don't know what she's laughing at, it's much harder to guess a woman's heart than to solve a case.

When I attended the New Year's banquet of the old comrades, Lao Lu and I sat at the same table, and there were still a few empty seats at this table, but Liu Lili, who walked past me, did not choose to share the table with us, but sat at another table.

I know that there is one less trouble in my life.

In the past few days, Tang Zhenguo seems to have lost his soul, and he is weak even when he eats, which is similar to the tough guy I knew before.

It's just that Tang Zhenguo hasn't gone to the Remnant Red Bar to drink in the past few days, Chi Xue hasn't brought us breakfast again, and he hasn't even heard the greasy and crooked phone call between the two. I don't know what happened to this 'charlatan couple'?

Fortunately, this depressive atmosphere was quickly broken because of another homicide.

Xiao Liu drove a police car and drove us to Xiaozhou Town. On the edge of a wasteland, a cordon has been drawn. It's just strange that my eyes this time actually fell on Liu Lili's back first.

I walked up to Lao Lu, who stared at the direction of the corpse, clasped his hands to his chest and said, "It is a female victim, and it is preliminarily determined that she was strangled to death, and the time of death is more than 48 hours." ”

I nodded and walked over to the dead.

The deceased was wearing a red down jacket, black jeans, and white leather boots. In terms of age, around 25 years old, she wears heavy makeup and dyes her long hair yellow, which is a typical fashionable woman.

There were three blue enchantresses wrapped in plastic bags around her, but she didn't find anything like a leather bag or a cell phone.

I crouched down and examined the wounds on the woman's neck.

At this time, Liu Lili said: "I am sure that I was strangled by something like a rope." I nodded in agreement.

The deceased's clothes were still relatively clean, not stained with too much soil, and there were no traces of drag around the body, indicating that she was not dragged to this place.

I took a look at the wasteland. Wheel prints and several suspicious footprints were found on the ground.

Look at the wheel print first, the wheel print is not far from the body, there is a slight incoherent turn, indicating that in this place, the car was parked.

Looking at the footprints again, two pairs of different footprints were found at the scene, and it was inferred that the height of the male was 170 cm and 175 cm respectively. From the direction and distance of the two pairs of footprints, it is inferred that these two pairs of footprints were left when carrying the deceased and throwing the body.

Judging from the scene, the deceased's clothes were intact, but no belongings were found around, and then there were three blue enchantresses next to the body.

My judgment is two, the first is that the man fails to court, and then the killer is killed. The second is robbery and murder, leaving flowers and setting up suspicions.

Of course, I'm not sure if my guess is entirely accurate, but the investigation can be done from both directions.

After that, the police identified the deceased.

The deceased's name is Qin Chunyan, a waiter at the Asuka Entertainment Club, 26 years old, married, and has a 3-year-old son.

The identity of the deceased was confirmed by Lao Lu, who investigated the recent missing persons and found that one of the missing women was very similar to the deceased, thus confirming the identity of the deceased.

The husband of the deceased, named Duan Kaiguo, had called the police two days earlier to report that his wife had disappeared after work. Unexpectedly, two days later, the husband and wife were already separated by yin and yang. When Duan Kaiguo saw his wife's corpse, he cried bitterly and almost fainted.

After Duan Kaiguo's mood stabilized, I asked him about his wife's situation before she disappeared.

I chose to ask Duan Kaiguo about the situation that day in the pantry of the criminal investigation team. Lao Lu and Duan Kaiguo sat next to each other on the leather single sofa, while I brought a plastic bench and sat opposite Duan Kaiguo.

I first handed Duan Kaiguo a cigarette to express my sympathy for the loss of his beloved wife, and also said that the police would do their best to catch the murderer.

Duan Kaiguo's mood at this time was extremely sad, and he just smoked vigorously.

Duan Kaiguo is almost 170 cm tall, with fair skin, a slightly chubby body, a cigarette in his right hand, and some dark red spots on the back of his hand. And when he passed me, I could smell a strong smell of hot pot. I judged that he should be a chef.

So I asked, "What do you do?" ”

Duan Kaiguo shook the ashes of his cigarette and said, "Chef." ”

"Where do you work?"

"Five Bridges Delicious Street."

"Is it a hot pot restaurant?"

"Hmm!" Duan Kaiguo nodded.

I said, "It stands to reason that you and your wife should be late at work, right?" ”

Duan Kaiguo nodded and said, "Yes, our off-duty time is around 12 o'clock in the morning, so after I get off work, I usually drive to pick her up from work." It's just that in the past few days, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the business of the hot pot restaurant is very good, and our store is originally a night club, so I get off work very late these days, and Chunyan takes the car home by herself. ”

I said, "Where do you live?" ”

Duan Kaiguo said: "I live in the osmanthus community in Zhoujiaba. ”

"Did your wife call you on the day she disappeared?"

"Yes. She got in a taxi after work and talked to me on the phone. ”

"You called the police on the night she disappeared?"

"Yes. When I drove home from work, I found that she was not home and that the phone was turned off. I was worried that something would happen, so I drove around and called her colleagues to ask them if they could know where she was, but to no avail. I searched for about three hours, and at about five in the morning, I called the police. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "How is your relationship?" ”

Duan Kaiguo said with certainty that they had a good relationship with each other. Of course, this is the founding side of the country, and I will reserve his views for the time being.

I didn't tell Duan Kaiguo about the three blue enchantresses around the deceased, because I wasn't sure why these three blue enchantresses appeared next to the deceased.

I have an assumption in my mind, maybe Duan Kaiguo is the murderer.

Here's my analysis. First of all, Duan Kai has a state-owned car, which is consistent with the wheel prints found at the scene of the murder, because the real murderer also has a car.

The second is the possibility of committing a crime. Qin Chunyan works in an entertainment venue, and she looks good, maybe someone admires her, maybe she has relationships with other men, and the three blue enchantresses were given to Qin Chunyan by others.

After the husband came home and found the three blue enchantresses, the husband asked his wife about the ins and outs of the flowers, but the wife could not explain them clearly, so the two had an argument. Duan Kaiguo strangled Qin Chunyan in a fit of rage, and then teamed up with his dead friends to drive to the suburbs and throw his body.

Of course, I'm a conspiracy theorist, so this is just my guess. Is that really the case? It is also necessary to decrypt and eliminate them one by one in the process of detection.
