In the eastern part of the city, near the river, a large commercial street has been established. This is a place that can feed half of the city, and how many people are looking forward to finding a job here, even if it is just selling clothes in shopping malls, they are also rising out of thin air, and they feel superior to others.

The cold winds of early spring are still sweeping through the northern city, and the light snow from last night has not completely melted on the ground. And this street is bustling with activity early in the morning. In order to retain that dignity, the girls in the crowd who were in a hurry with high heels seemed to no longer feel the knife-like wind penetrating the not thick warm pants under the short skirts, and walked through the crowd like flying.

And there is a person on the side of the street who looks out of place with all this, he walks down the street in a warm sweatshirt and sweatpants, like a student backpacker who comes here alone, carelessly looking at everything around him, and occasionally raises his mobile phone to take pictures of the buildings that he is more satisfied with, and slowly admires this grand commercial street.

After all, the weather was too cold, the man put away his mobile phone and rubbed his hands, which were cold and numb from the wind, and walked into the coffee shop on the corner of the street to stay warm for a while.

When he entered the door and saw the little girl behind the counter looking at him, he politely smiled and nodded, then found a place to sit by the window, studied the few photos he had just taken, and didn't seem to notice that the two little girls behind the counter were looking at him and whispering about him.

"Sister Li, do you know each other?" The intern asked curiously.

Li Qian shook her head and nodded hesitantly, "It's not familiar, but he comes over every weekend for an afternoon." He's a professor at Southtown University, and he talks to me when there's not a lot of people. ”

"Coming from Nancheng University can be regarded as spanning half a city," the intern snapped his fingers to check the day, and turned to look at Li Qian ambiguously, "And this time of the week is your class, this gentle professor shouldn't be here to see you!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Qian's eyebrows were shy, obviously with such thoughts in her heart.

The intern immediately urged, "Then you don't take the initiative quickly, let me rest assured here." ”

Li Qian mustered up the courage to walk to Professor Lu, who was sitting by the window, and her heart was pounding.

"Professor Lu, would you like to have a cup of American cuisine today?"

Lu Ziyuan put down his phone, habitually looked up into Li Qian's eyes and replied, "No, please give me a cup of caramel macchiato." It's hard for you to remember my taste. ”

Lu Ziyuan combed his neat short hair, and his whole face was completely exposed, but it did not look dull, but it was very attractive. Because of the seldom of sunlight, the skin is excessively fair and clear, softening some sharp eyes. In addition, he is full of youth in sportswear, and when he smiles like this, he even looks like a college student who has not entered the society.

When Lu Ziyuan looks at something, he will focus on such things. It's like talking to someone, and you will stare into the other's eyes, making people feel that the whole world is excluded, leaving him and the person he is staring at. Li Qian shyly avoided her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "This taste is very sweet, do you need to make the taste lighter?" ”

"Thank you for the reminder," Lu Ziyuan said, "but if you want to taste the sweetness today, please be sure to satisfy me." ”

"Professor Lu looks very happy, is there anything good happening today?"

Hearing this question, the polite smile on Lu Ziyuan's face seemed to be a little more gentle, "Yes, I will meet the person I have always wanted to meet." ”

Li Qian was suddenly a little lost, but she wanted to say something quickly, so that she could say a few more words to the professor. But I couldn't find a topic, so I had to go back to the bar and get coffee.

"Thank you." Lu Ziyuan picked up the cup and took a sip of warm coffee, the sweet and greasy taste spread in his mouth and instantly penetrated into the taste buds, it was indeed a very sweet taste, so sweet that it was greasy and the root of the tongue was bitter after the aftertaste.

Putting down the cup, he seemed to notice something outside the window, frowned slightly, and said to Li Qian, who was still standing beside him, "I'll go first." ”

Li Qian said in a panic, "You go slowly, welcome to come again next time." ”

After going out, Lu Ziyuan walked unhurriedly to the big tree in the corner, and then stopped to look at the door of the opposite office building.

On the left side of the entrance to the office building, there is a garbage bin with left and right columns, which looks dirty and out of place with the surrounding delicacy. Behind the dumpster there seemed to be a person lying there, only two legs could be seen from this angle, and the rest of the place was tightly obscured, and the people around him were also oblivious to him.

Lu Ziyuan confirmed that the time was almost up, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, he didn't speak but quietly waited for the phone to hang up automatically.

Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man in a black leather jacket who was half-new, walked to the door of the office building and found something hidden behind the garbage can, ignoring the strange eyes around him to take a look.

Lu Ziyuan hid behind a tree and confirmed that the middle-aged man couldn't see him. However, he was just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a hand slapped on his shoulder, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Immediately afterwards, I heard someone say enthusiastically, "Good morning, Professor Lu, why did you come here?" ”

Wang Mo was still carrying a few cups of hot drinks in his hand, obviously just coming out of the coffee shop.

"I'm here for today's weekend off." When Lu Ziyuan saw that it was him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said the words that he had prepared a long time ago, "Thanks to you for helping me settle down before, I have to give me a chance to thank you." ”

"Harm, Professor Lu is welcome, we are also serving the people. You see, I came to duty early in the morning on weekends, and I had to bring food back to a few little cubs upstairs. ”

"It just so happens that I'm still hesitating to send something, I'll go buy food for you, what do you usually eat?" Lu Ziyuan seemed to have been solved a big problem, and said very happily, "I think my students always like to eat some fried chicken and pizza, do you like these?" ”

"No, it's Brother Jian who is helping you. He didn't work today, and he couldn't get your kindness. Wang Mo refused again and again.

"It's okay, it's the same for you," Lu Ziyuan then said suggestively, "I'm very interested in the knife you use for work, and I don't know if you can lend me another look." ”

Wang Mo hesitated for two seconds and immediately made a decision, "You need to ask Brother Jian about this, I can't be the master." But if I show you, I don't think Brother Jian will disagree. ”

"Thank you." Lu Ziyuan thanked him and pretended to look at the opposite office building unintentionally, and suddenly pointed to the corner over there with a surprised face to divert Wang Mo's attention, "What do you see on the other side?" ”

Wang Mo looked in the direction of his finger, and the middle-aged man in a leather jacket on the opposite side also happened to come over, and saw the man beckoning to Wang Mo to beckon him over.

Wang Mo's face changed slightly, and he didn't care about talking to Lu Ziyuan, so he immediately said goodbye and rushed to the other side of the street with a hand full of hot drinks, "I'll go over first, and the professor will see you back." ”

Lu Ziyuan nodded, turned around and left, thinking about which store in the vicinity opened early.

The middle-aged man across the street was looking around vigilantly, his face was serious, with two deep nasolabial folds, which made people look a little timid. It is difficult to ignore such a person in front of the garbage can, and the people who pass by the door will more or less cast curious eyes, and then touch the eyes of middle-aged people, and they dare not look more and leave in a hurry.

Wang Mo walked over, handed out a cup of hot drink in his hand, and said in greetings, "I just saw an acquaintance, did Team Li come and eat so early?" ”

Team Li replied and refused, and then pointed to the trash can, his expression remained unchanged, and he faintly confided two words,

"Homicide."

Wang Mo suddenly slid down in a cold sweat behind his back, and felt a trace of coldness in the cold wind of early spring, and in an instant the blood rushed to his head, and he followed the instructions and looked over, revealing two straight legs behind the dirty garbage can.

In this place where every inch of land is valuable, the façade of the office building is a key place to clean. Not to mention why there is an extra trash can, there is a rare puddle of stains under the trash can, like the soup left over from the food freezing on the ground. The person lying behind the trash can is thin and small, half of his body is blocked by the trash can, wearing a full set of men's suits and leather shoes, which is very formal.

But the strange thing is that a black plastic bag is tightly tied around his neck after his head, his right arm is twisted in front of his chest in a strange posture, the back of his hand is attached to his chest, his thumb is down and his elbow is on the ground, as if he is pushing out to resist something, and he is still struggling unwillingly before dying.

"This is not the first scene, and it is likely that the body was deliberately dumped here. Only his right arm is still soft, and his death will not be too long. Team Li further explained, "And this is a place that can't be seen by nearby surveillance." ”

"You mean, this murder has something to do with us?" Wang Mo asked tentatively.

"I don't rule it out."

Wang Mo thought left and right, looked at the crowd of people coming and going around him, and proposed, "Team Li, since this is not the first scene, it is better to send it to us upstairs when the police car comes, so as not to be discovered that another hot search will be launched in the afternoon." ”

Team Li nodded, and it seemed that he had this intention, but after thinking about it, he still said, "Call Jian Shutong down first." ”

"Brother Jian is not at work today, and he may not be up yet." Seeing Team Li's face gradually becoming more and more exciting, Wang Mo suddenly came to his senses and said, "I'll go and call him up." After saying that, he trotted away.

"......" Team Li had to carry the burden and send people upstairs by themselves.
