The sun outside the window was particularly bright, mixed with a slight breeze, gently brushing a strand of short hair on the forehead.

Liu Tingyu stood in front of the window looking at the flags fluttering in the bauhinia, but her heavy mood was not relieved, 68% of the police officers were psychologically depressed, and she needed a gap in her heart to release the depression, but not yet.

She didn't even have time to grieve.

Lao Cai died, and his bizarre death was more like a danger signal, adding another layer of haze to the already treacherous mystery case.

What is hidden behind the disappearance of a serial girl ten years ago?

What is the connection with the case you are solving now?

After hesitating in front of the window for a quarter of an hour, she took a black casual suit from under a drawer, and when she was done, she picked up the private car keys on the table and walked downstairs.

Castle Peak Psychiatric Hospital, 15 Ching Chung Kwun Road, Tuen Mun.

Liao Wei looked at Liao Dan sitting in front of him, and suddenly smiled, with sadness in his smile, how could that kind of family affection with blood dissolved in water be blocked by a glass wall?

"Sister! Look at me! I'm Ah Wei! ”

In the face of Liao Wei's call, Liao Dan still didn't react, still staring blankly at somewhere, but the shining eyes implied too much longing.

The sister who loved him the most in the past has become like this now, how distressed should Liao Wei's heart be?

He took away the sadness from the corners of his eyes, and chatted as if talking to himself: "Sister! It's been a long time since I've come to see you, I've forgotten myself, I've spent all these years like a walking corpse, and all those ideals I love are decadent! ”

The voice was slightly choked, but the smile did not stop blooming because of the sudden sadness.

He said flatly: "Lao Cai is dead, he came to me yesterday, he said that he no longer wants to live like this, he said that he wants to regain the prestige of our serious case, and find the glory that passed away in those eventful years, and then he died, died so miserably!" ”

The corners of Liao Dan's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he quietly listened to Liao Wei's last words: "Sister! He's right, I know you've been protecting me, and I've listened to you the most since I was a child, but this time, I don't want to run away anymore, not only for myself, but also for you, there are more than 40,000 police officers in Hong Kong, but there are some things that can only be done by me, you will definitely understand me! ”

Tears flowed from the deep-seated eyes, in the ten years in the mental hospital, Liao Dan has never slept soundly for a day, sometimes she really wishes she was really crazy, maybe she can live without being so hard, not so scared, all the time!

Liao Wei's eyes were also filled with tears, and he said softly: "I have grown up, I should do something that I should do, you once asked me, why do you have to follow you as a criminal policeman!" ”

Thinking back to his ignorant self in those years, Liao Wei smiled and said: "Be a criminal policeman!" Majestic! I'm gone, sister! I'm going to Majesty! ”

"Sister! You have to take care of yourself..."

With a deep glance at the last, Liao Wei got up and wiped away his tears, all the unknown depression accumulated in his heart over the years, and he couldn't help crying anymore.

After crying like this for a while, he turned around and left without stopping for a moment, leaving Liao Dan to sit alone on the other side of the glass wall and cry silently.

She watched her beloved brother drift farther and farther away, and opened her mouth to call him back, but found that she had not spoken for too long, and could no longer say a complete sentence, so she could only struggling to slap the glass and cry out heartbreakingly.

Outside of psychosis, a black private car was parked at the door.

Liu Tingyu got out of the car, and the security guard immediately opened the door and let her go after seeing her police badge.

As soon as she entered the hospital, she took a look at Liao Wei who came out, and the two passed by, Liu Tingyu couldn't help but look back and pay attention, only to feel that this person had a heavy face and a tall posture, and he should also be a policeman.

Liu Tingyu was disappointed to visit Liao Dan for the first time, but this time she didn't even see anyone.

When she asked her guardian to visit Liao Dan, the guardian told her in embarrassment: "The patient has just been visited, is very emotionally unstable, has been sedated, and can no longer see anyone!" ”

Liu Tingyu suddenly wondered in her heart, who stimulated Liao Dan's emotions? She then made another request to her guardian: "Let me see her visitation registration record!" ”

The guardian cooperated very well and took the register and handed it to Liu Tingyu and said: "Only one patient's family has visited the hospital today, he is the patient's younger brother and a policeman, and he has come to visit his sister for the first time since the patient was admitted to the hospital for ten years!" ”

It turned out that Liao Dan also had a younger brother who was a policeman, which made Liu Tingyu somewhat surprised, and in addition to the accident, he also had more hope.

Liao Dan turned out to be his sister, and maybe he was also one of the police officers involved in the investigation of the case.

After leaving Castle Peak Hospital, Liu Tingyu had decided to transfer the breakthrough against Liao Dan to Liao Wei, and used the information he left in the register to immediately contact his colleagues in the General Archives Division of the Hong Kong Police Force and asked them to help find out all the information about Liao Wei from all the police officers in Hong Kong.

Putting down the phone, she walked to a flower shop opposite the hospital, bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Lao Cai's funeral was scheduled for the afternoon, although she knew that his death was very strange, but all she could do was try her best to get an extra pension for him, and properly handle his afterlife.

What else could she do?

She's a policeman, not a priest!

At half past three in the afternoon, Liu Tingyu drove to attend the funeral held in an auditorium in Causeway Bay.

In the oppressive atmosphere, the choked cries and suona sounds of family members lingered in the hall, and the photo of Lao Cai in the black and white photo frame stood impressively on the wall, with burning white candles on both sides, and his corpse was stopping below, and the delicate flowers set off the makeup, but the expression was still weird.

Most of the people who came to attend the funeral were colleagues from the West Kowloon Branch, and the crowd standing quietly on both sides looked mourning, and Xiao Zhao Afei and others also took time to worship a pillar of incense.

The master of ceremonies shouted: "There is a guest!" ”

"Guests stop!"

"Take a bow!"

"Two bows!"

"Three bows!"

"Family Gifts!"

Liu Tingyu bowed three times to the portrait of Lao Cai, offered a bouquet of chrysanthemums in the cluster of white flowers, lit three pillars of incense and inserted them in the ash basin, slowly turned around and walked to the guest's seat, but unexpectedly saw a person - Liao Wei!

Liao Wei was sitting in the last row of seats with his head down at the moment, his expression was very calm, even he came to attend the funeral, Liu Tingyu was even more determined in his guess.

As soon as he sat down, suddenly the lights dimmed, and a Taoist priest walked into the hall, only to see him holding a wooden sword in his hand, while gesturing while reading in his mouth: "The Oriental God Thunder Open, the tile under the treasure platform, break the Oriental Wind and Thunder Hell, when Zhai is recommended, Mr. Cai Fan, quickly leave the underworld, and kick the fairy world early!" ”

Cai Fan's funeral was almost entirely planned by the West Kowloon Police Department, and Liu Tingyu repeatedly explained to his subordinates that although a martyr's funeral could not be held in accordance with the martyrs' funerals of the police officers who died on duty, the atmosphere must be solemn and solemn to highlight the solemnity of the police.

But now a Taoist priest suddenly appeared, obviously destroying the previous solemn atmosphere, Liu Tingyu waved his hand to Xue Qi in a slight anger, and asked him, "What's the matter with this Taoist priest?" Who found it! ”

Xue Qi's clothes today are a little weird, in such a hot weather, he actually wrapped himself like a zongzi, and looked at the shivering look, as if it was too cold to do anything: "I really don't know about this, it must not be arranged by our police, why don't I ask the master's family?" ”

"Go and ask!" Liu Tingyu said.

More than a minute later, Xue Qi walked back from the family members kneeling in front of the mourning hall, and whispered to Liu Tingyu: "I have asked Shi Niang, it is Officer Liao's intention to ask the Taoist priest to do it, that is, the person sitting in the last row behind you!" ”

At this time, the Taoist priest had completed most of the rituals, and then he walked to the crowd of family members, took the spirit tablet and said to Cai Fan's daughter: "You take this garland and ask your father to see if he still has any unfinished business, and ask him to tell you, otherwise we won't be able to help him!" ”

"Nonsense!"

A loud shout interrupted the Taoist priest's words, Liu Tingyu got up and walked to the corpse, and said to the Taoist priest with a cold face: "He was a policeman when he was alive, and the Hong Kong police have always only talked about evidence, and never believed in ghosts and gods, is it appropriate for you to pretend to be a god and a ghost here now?" ”

The Taoist priest said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "People will always leave some resentment when they die, and I am also entrusted by others to do this, hoping that the deceased can rest in peace!" ”

Xiao Zhao and Ah Fei also came up to persuade the scene: "Sir Liu, forget it!" Today is Lao Cai's funeral, don't embarrass his family too much! ”

Xiao Zhao followed and said, "Head! We've bowed and worshipped, Lao Cai has already received our heart, let's go first! ”

Liu Tingyu's anger disappeared a little, and he no longer paid attention to the Taoist priest, and when he turned around, Liao Wei, who was sitting in the back, was nowhere to be seen, thinking that he had already left.

Liu Tingyu also had no intention of continuing to mourn silently in the sound of funeral music, and smiled apologetically at the family.

Just as she was about to turn around, suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist tightly.

It was a hand that came out of a cluster of flowers.

Lao Cai's hand!
