The weather at the beginning of January was so cold that it was fatal, and it was the kind of dry cold air, so cold that people's noses and ears were red, and there was no snow, which made people feel that this winter was not at all energetic. Not long after turning west of the main road in the city, there was a mutton shop opened by an old couple, Yan Junli put his hand in his coat pocket and walked quickly to the small shop, a bowl of hot mutton soup, no matter how cold the air could be dispelled.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of mutton soup."

Behind the counter of the mutton shop sat only a woman with slightly gray temples. The woman wore reading glasses and held a newspaper in her hand, presumably because there were no guests at this point, and she took advantage of this time to have fun. After she heard Yan Junli's voice, she hurriedly closed the newspaper, said, "Come on", got off the chair, and hurriedly entered the back room.

Yan Junli lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes to read the newspaper, and a news item was published in an inconspicuous small corner, with the headline: The captain of the criminal investigation team in City C has repeatedly solved strange cases, will City C usher in a paradise of peace or the revenge of criminals? As soon as Yan Junli wanted to follow the title, the proprietress came out of the house, holding a bowl of steaming mutton soup in her hand, and said with a friendly smile on her face, "Young man, your mutton soup." It's really cold, so it doesn't matter if you drink a bowl of mutton soup. ”

Yan Junli took the mutton soup and thanked the old woman, the steaming porcelain bowl warmed Yan Junli's cold five fingers, he held the bowl in his hand for a while before he began to drink, just when he drank the first sip of soup, the old woman said,

"Alas, young man, you should be more careful when you go out in the future. Now the world is not very peaceful. ”

The old woman was probably bored because she had no guests, so she talked to Yan Junli.

"Is something wrong?" Yan Junli asked.

"Oh, it's just across the street, and there are a lot of police officers around today, it's scary." The old woman frowned and said, "I don't know what happened, maybe someone died." Tell me, why is there such a scary thing if you don't let people have a good New Year. ”

Yan Junli smiled and reassured the old woman, "There are criminals at any time, and the police will deal with them, so don't worry too much." ”

"Oh, how can you not worry." The old woman's brows furrowed, and she said in a serious manner, "My grandson is studying at the school opposite, oops, it's really scary." ”

It didn't take long for Yan Junli to finish drinking a bowl of mutton soup, and the hot soup was in his stomach, and he instantly felt that he was alive again. He counted out a ten-yuan piece from his wallet and handed it to the proprietress who put away the money with a pleasant face.

"Walk slowly on the road."

Yan Junli waved his hand to the proprietress, wrapped his coat tightly, and strode towards the school opposite. From a distance, you can see that the school has been cleared, and there are many curious children outside, but they are all bombarded back by the police in charge of clearing the scene, and they can only lie on the railing with their eyes open. Yan Junli crossed the yellow cordon, a policeman glared at him with a threatening look, Yan Junli took out the police badge from his jacket pocket, and the little policeman nodded clearly.

After passing through the cordon, you will soon find the main school building. Yan Junli bypassed the main entrance of the main teaching building and came to the shadows at the back of the building.

"Team Yan, why did you come?"

Before Yan Junli could get closer, he heard Li Hong's complaining voice, "Why did it take so long to go to the toilet, didn't you fall in?" ”

Yan Junli laughed twice, trotted two steps energetically, and walked into the middle of the police, "Oh, people have three urgency to understand or not, and the captain is also a human being." What's more, just such a case, can't you do it without me? ”

In front of them was a male corpse lying on the ground, the head of the corpse had been deformed, blood was flowing all over the ground, and all parts were broken and twisted by the impact from the heights, and it looked like it had jumped from the roof of the school building.

"Did you get any results?"

Li Hong raised his chin, probably because it was too cold outside and didn't want to take his hand out, "He has an ID card and wallet in his briefcase to confirm his identity, and he is a physics teacher in this school, named Liang Pengcheng." I just asked someone to inquire, and this teacher had severe depression before his death, and then we found a suicide note in the computer in the office, most likely suicide and did not run away. ”

Yan Junli nodded and did not deny it. But he still crouched down and took a closer look at the corpse.

"But there's something strange about his clothes."

"What's wrong?" Li Hong asked.

Yan Junli raised his head and looked at Li Hong, "Do you come to school in sportswear when you come to class?" ”

Li Hong blinked, disappreroving, "People may have this habit, besides, he wants to commit suicide, will he still consider what clothes to wear?" ”

Yan Junli felt that what Li Hong said was reasonable, so he stood up from the corpse and shouted to the police, "Simply investigate the scene and clean it up!" It's almost the New Year, everyone go home early! ”

"Oh!" The police agreed.

"Strict team! Should fingerprints be taken from the deceased's belongings? A policeman from the forensic department asked nearby.

"Take it, it doesn't hurt to be careful."

The policeman nodded, and everyone was busy at their posts. Li Hong looked at Yan Junli with his hands in his pockets, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey Yan, where is Doctor Yang?" I haven't seen anyone lately. ”

"He's it." Yan Junli showed a wry smile, "Since the case in the manor came back, I have been very depressed, and I am not interested in the case anymore. I went back to Minghai Hospital to live a 9-to-5 day. ”

"Won't it?" Li Hong was a little surprised, "But-"

Before Li Hong's words were finished, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and Yan Junli looked down at the screen and laughed.

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's call came."

There was a good thing that the policeman's mouth shattered, "Hey, whose call did the captain answer?" ”

Li Hong immediately answered, "Wife's." ”

Everyone laughed, and Yan Junli glared at him before answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Yan Junli. Where? Yang Wenbin's voice sounded lazy and lazy.

"It's a case. How? ”

Yang Wenbin let out a "hmm", and asked again rarely, "What's the case?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a suicide case, and you won't be interested." Yan Junli said, "What's the matter, the big detective has enough time at home, and he wants to come out and find some cases to solve?" ”

Yang Wenbin's tone was full of smiles, "I think you're a workaholic who is stupid at work, right?" Who's talking to you about the case? I called you to say hello to the early year, and the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Yan Junli was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "That's the case...... Time flies so fast, and before you know it, it's going to be the New Year. ”

"Are you going back to your hometown?" Yang Wenbin knew that Yan Junli's hometown was not close to City C, and it was likely that he would not be able to go back in such a short time.

"No return." As expected, Yan Junli sighed, "I may need me here at any time, where can I go back." Every year, it's just a phone call to say goodbye. ”

The other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and cleared his throat, "Then why don't you come to me for the New Year?" ”

"You? You and Juber? Yan Junli was a little flattered by this invitation, "Then why are you embarrassed to disturb ......?"

"What's so embarrassing to be embarrassed about, anyway, every year the New Year is me and Uncle Zhu, it's boring, you can still be lively when you come, isn't it good?"

Yan Junli thought about it for a while and didn't shirk again, "Well, since you said so, I'm not welcome." Then again, how have you been? ”

Yang Wenbin's voice suddenly became very nervous, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Junli frowned, "What do you say, I haven't seen you for almost a month, you don't squeak, and you don't call, I don't care about you anymore?" ”

"No, no, I'm fine."

Yan Junli sensed that something was wrong, took a deep breath, and asked, "Yang Wenbin, tell me honestly, where are you now?" ”

"Uh...... Hospital, of course. ”

"Okay, so are you 'sitting' in the hospital, or are you 'lying' in the hospital?" Yan Junli said with fire suppressed.

——————————————————————————

Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli for a moment, and felt that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. Yan Junli was not good, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, as soon as he entered the ward, he sat on the bed with his butt and began to count his partner.

"Did you put yourself in the ward for the New Year? You said that you, a doctor who has been in the hospital for a long time, is really unprecedented. Say, what's going on with you this time? ”

Yang Wenbin avoided Yan Junli's eyes, "I said it's okay, it's you who have to ask." It's really nothing, it's just ordinary insomnia, and by the way, look at my legs. ”

"Insomnia?" Yan Junli repeated, "You have insomnia? Since when? ”

"I haven't slept well since I came back from the manor." Yang Wenbin sighed, buried his head in the futon of the hospital bed, and closed his eyes tightly, "I...... As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was full of handsome and handsome shadows, and then I remembered-"

"What he said was wrong!" Yan Junli interrupted Yang Wenbin with his mouth, "How many times have I told you, it was the clown who deliberately said that in order to disrupt your direction!" ”

"I know, I know." Yang Wenbin sat up from the bed in distraught, and there were really very obvious dark circles around his eyelids, "Yan Junli, I'm not stupid, of course I know it's a clown's trick." I know I'm doing the right thing, but that doesn't change the fact that I indirectly murdered those people. ”
