The next morning, Zheng Tingyu and his partner Qian Shinan transferred colleagues from the appraisal department from the bureau, and then excavated the ceiling with an electric hammer according to the position drawn by Zheng Tingyu.

Then, the evidence collection extended to the house in the next unit, where other parts of the body were found in the ceiling.

When it comes to human life, the CEO of Phoenix Real Estate was immediately summoned to assist in the investigation, followed by the project manager, the person in charge of the project, and the workers of the specific construction ten years ago......

……

"The deceased was a lonely old man, and when the area was demolished, the compensation conditions were very chaotic, and some families could get millions of cash in addition to the compensation for a few houses. In some cases, families receive compensation at the minimum standard – the equivalent of losing their original home, but not enough to buy a new home. So a few families insisted on not moving. The demolition work was outsourced, and to put it bluntly, the local bullies and underworld forces violently drove the residents out of their homes one night, taking advantage of the rain, and forcibly completed the demolition. The old lady was probably scared, so she hid behind a wall, but the bulldozer knocked down the wall and buried her alive. She was alone and widowed, living by picking up waste, and no one was looking for her when there were no people, and the demolition guys saw that there was a dead person, and secretly poured her body into a cement prefabricated slab. Then the gang divided her compensation and said that the old lady had taken the money and went to her relatives in other places. After the case was filed and prosecuted, there were 12 direct defendants, seven of whom were brought to justice, one was in prison two years ago because of other cases, three were out of town, and one was driving a bulldozer who died in an accident last year due to a construction accident. ”

Qian Shinan held the file in his hand and combed through the facts of the case. In just one day, from filing the case to locking up the suspect, the investigation and evidence collection were basically completed.

"I said Lao Zheng, did you really see this old lady's ghost last night?"

Qian Shinan handed Zheng Tingyu a cigarette with a gossip on his face, and helped him light it again, and then lit his cigarette and sat next to Zheng Tingyu: "Can you tell me the details?" ”

"You want to know the details?" Zheng Tingyu looked at his partner with a smile on his face and asked.

"Of course I want to know, but as far as I know, you've always been a staunch atheist. This time, he will actually solve the case supernaturally, how can he not be curious. Qian Shinan said.

"Okay, I'll tell you, the cause and effect, all the details will be told to you, but there is one condition."

"You say!"

"I'm done, you can write the report of this case." Zheng Tingyu said with the old god.

……

More than half an hour later.

"Holy! This is too bizarre, isn't it? ”

After listening to Zheng Tingyu's story, Qian Shinan stared widely, with a regretful look on his face: "Lao Zheng, you are not interesting enough, you didn't bring me with you last night." Are we still not partners? ”

"I have a hunch that this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future." Zheng Tingyu said a little distractedly.

"How can you write this report?" Qian Shinan scratched his head, his face full of sadness.

In the afternoon, Sang Xiaoge, Sister Bai, Mr. Lan, and Xiao Dezi each held a cup of coffee, and Xinxin was in front of a large box of ice cream.

Officer Zheng sent a detailed case analysis and thanked Sang Xiaoge.

"Jiang Yibo's roof actually hides a corpse on the roof, and this alone is enough reason for the real estate developer to make corresponding compensation. The real estate side definitely doesn't want this matter to ferment, and is willing to pay a lot of money to control the news. Therefore, the honorarium this time is also very rich. ”

Sister Bai asked Sang Xiaoge for a bank account and transferred a sum of money. I wanted to reach out and hug Mr. Lan over, but I was indifferently disgusted by it.

He was a little depressed, and just as he was about to leave, two men walked into the Institute of Unknown Events.

The one in front was only seen two days ago.

It's the chubby lawyer Yang Liwei. He was followed by a thin old man.

"Huh? Brother Bai is also there? Lawyer Yang was still full of red face, dressed in an expensive suit, and greeted him first when he entered the room, but when he faced Xinxin, his eyelids trembled obviously.

"Yang Dalu, you've been running a little diligently in the past two days?" Sister Bai joked with Lawyer Yang.

"Originally, I wanted to send the procedures for the child's guardianship over in the next two days, but as a result, there was something else today, just together."

Lawyer Yang said, dodged a little away, and introduced the thin old man who followed after getting up:

"This is Lawyer Yao from Youxian County, and he entrusted me to help him find someone in Rubik's Cube City. Who do you guess you're looking for? ”

"Looking for Sang Xiaoge? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Sister Bai asked in surprise.

"Isn't that a coincidence!" Lawyer Yang patted his thigh and said, "Originally, he said that he was looking for someone, and I wanted to see if I could ask a friend from the police station for help, after all, I was not looking for a local." As soon as the results came, I felt incredible. I just met Miss Xiaoge yesterday, and someone is looking for her today! ”

Xin Xin went inside with a rag doll, Xiao Dezi made tea and entered her room, and Lawyer Yang and Sister Bai also said goodbye. At this time, in the reception room of the Institute of Unknown Events, there were only Sang Xiaoge and that lawyer Yao. Of course, Sang Xiaoge also has a cat in his arms.

This lawyer Yao is dressed in a gray suit that looks a little old, his hair is not much, he is neatly backed, and his facial features are very ordinary, except for the occasional moment when he raises his eyes, his eyes are very sharp.

"What do you have to do with me?"

Seeing that the old man was staring at himself for a long time without speaking, Sang Xiaoge couldn't help but ask him.

Lawyer Yao seemed to be awakened from his memory and came back to his senses. He nodded, and said in a rich bass voice that was very different from his skinny stature, "Something." ”

As he spoke, he took out a package from his bag and placed it on the table.

"I am your father, Mr. Sang Zicheng's lifelong legal adviser. Twelve years ago, he made a commission with me. According to the commission, if he doesn't come back to me after twelve years, that is, before twelve o'clock the night before, then I need to find you as quickly as possible and complete his commission. ”

Lawyer Yao's voice was not loud, but in Sang Xiaoge's ears, it was like a string of thunder.

She was thousands of miles away from home and chose Rubik's Cube City to go to college. After graduating, she tried her best to stay in Rubik's Cube City, just because, in the information she collected, the last place where her father appeared was Rubik's Cube City.

But for several years, there was no trace of his father in the city, and no one had ever dealt with him, as if he had never existed in the city.

And today, without warning, the old man brought news of his father.

In an instant, Sang Xiaoge's eyes were drowned in tears.

"I don't know where Ling Zun is, and I haven't seen him for more than ten years." Lawyer Yao waited for Sang Xiaoge to calm down and then began to answer her questions.

"Twelve years ago, the day before yesterday, Mr. Sang Zicheng found me and gave me this box. He said that if he doesn't come back to me after twelve years, then I will find you in the shortest possible time and give you one of his properties in Rubik's Cube City and this box. Although I very much hope that he can come back, I have long been prepared for the event - I have been silently following you for the past few years, knowing that you are in Rubik's Cube City. So if he didn't come back the other day, I'll leave for you right away. ”

"Do you know where he went?" Sang Xiaoge asked.

"I asked Mr. Sang at the beginning, but he wouldn't say." Lawyer Yao replied helplessly.

Sang Xiaoge picked up the box that Lawyer Yao had placed on the table and looked at it carefully.

It was a cube made of rosewood ten centimeters in length, width and height, with six sides, each of which was divided into nine squares, each of which was inlaid with gold dots from one to nine dots.

When Sang Xiaoge was a child, her father once gave her a similar toy. She remembers that her father said that this toy was called "lattice play". Through different combinations, each side of this cube is arranged in an orderly manner from one to nine, and the box will be disassembled by itself, and the secret inside will appear.

At that time, Sang Xiaoge was only five years old, and he was naturally not interested in this boring game of twisting the box. However, her father told her that she could get treasure every time in the box, and the so-called treasure was different flavors of chocolate.

So, under the temptation of chocolate, five-year-old Sang Xiaoge mastered the dismantling mode of lattice play.

For more than a year, she had to disassemble the lattice that had been re-disrupted by her father every day and get the chocolate inside.

It's just that now more than ten years have passed, and she has never played this again. And the lattice play made of rosewood and gold in front of me doesn't know if the rules of use are the same as what I played at the beginning.

"Your father said, give this to you, and you will naturally disassemble it. I've tried to open it, but I've never been able to do it. Lawyer Yao said.

Sang Xiaoge held the sandalwood cube in his hand, closed his eyes, and tried to remember how he felt when he was a child, and then his hands began to twist.

Ten minutes.

After 600 seconds, Sang Xiaoge's hand became faster and faster, and finally after ten minutes, the six sides of the cube, each side of which became an orderly one to nine.

Then, she placed the edges and corners of the cube on the tabletop, pressed the upward-facing corners with the palm of her left hand, and with a push of her right hand, the cube rotated a few times before finally stopping.

Sang Xiaoge reached out and grabbed the five fingers of the cube, and then pressed his index finger on the grid with five golden dots and pressed it.

With a crisp click, the cube, scattered into several pieces, landed on the table.

In the middle, there is a ball with gears.

You can see a button on the side of the ball, press it, and a wax pellet will pop out from the other side.

Pinch open the wax pill, and inside is a ball of silk silk that is clumped together. Unfold the silk and there is a map on it.

As can be seen from the geographical features on the map, a map of a city is printed on it. On the side, there is a specially marked place with a small line printed on it:

"No. 13 Tianlu."
