Fog, again a thick fog.

It was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and the martyr's cemetery, known as the Nine Dragons, was still wrapped in a sea of fog at this time, which added some depressive feelings to the already cold and lonely cemetery.

Luo Yang hates this foggy day, just like he hates a group of gangsters who don't learn and don't know how to make trouble on the streets.

June 13 is the third anniversary of Luoyang's brother-in-law Zhang Mai's death day. Three years ago, on the evening of June 13, 2016, the famous detective in Hirashima City was killed in the grove of the Botanical Garden while meeting with an informant. Regrettably, the murder case of Zhang Mai has not been solved so far, which makes Luo Yang, who has been the head of the criminal investigation team of the Jingshan Public Security Bureau for more than two years, feel very annoyed.

Dressed in plain clothes, she was expressionless, accompanied by her mother and younger brother, holding her son Zhang Fan's little hand and slowly walking towards the hillside.

Roland is a delicate-looking woman, and her dignified demeanor at this moment adds a sense of dignity and weakness to her. Now, no trace of grief can be found on the woman's face.

Perhaps with the passage of time, the pain of the death of her husband has slowly been lost in every meridian cell in her body, making her whole person a little dull and numb.

And the only thing that was deeply in her mind was that Xiao Zhang Fan had a high fever that day, and she went to the Municipal Children's Hospital alone with her son. During this period, she only spoke on the phone with her husband Zhang Mai once, and as usual, Zhang Mai explained to her apologetically that he was on official duty and rushed to the hospital immediately after work. Roland never complained about her husband, and this time was the same, she just took care of his own safety. Because she understands her husband's profession too well, since she decided to give her life's happiness to this man who is a public security officer, she has been waiting for the sacredness and pride with him. What left her alone was the endless nervousness and anxiety that her husband brought to her when he returned late. It's just that she didn't expect this danger to come so urgently and so quickly. That night, when she left her hospitalized son and rushed to another hospital, she saw the cold body of her husband.

The group walked silently through the sea of fog. In addition to the grief, there is also the heavy feeling of depression that hangs over the heart. However, when they stood in front of Zhang Mai's tomb, they found that a bouquet of flowers had already been placed in front of the tombstone. This is obviously a bouquet of flowers that have just been put up, and its freshness is even higher than the bouquet in Luo Yang's hand.

This surprised Luo Yang. Because, he clearly remembered that when he was sweeping his brother-in-law's grave last year, a bouquet of flowers was also placed in front of the tomb early. Moreover, the same freshness and tenderness, the same color variety. It's just that he came alone last year, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Luo Yang turned his face to look at his sister, and Luo Lan's face was still flat. He looked at his mother again, who was looking at him in amazement.

"It's Mai'er's comrade-in-arms, right?" She said.

Zhang Mai is the orphan of a martyr adopted by Liu Yimei and his wife when they were young, and she regards Zhang Mai as her own son. Back then, Luo Yang's father, Luo Lishan, and Zhang Mai's father, Zhang Lie, both worked in the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. During a mission, in order to cover Luo Lishan, Zhang Lie was unfortunately shot and died. And Zhang Mai's mother died in childbirth as early as when she gave birth to him.

Luo Yang shook his head, "If it was someone from our police station, there would be no need for him to cover his head and face so mysteriously." He looked around, but because of the fog, he couldn't see anything from a distance of more than ten meters. Luo Yang remembers very well that it was also such a foggy day when he came to sweep his brother-in-law's grave last year. He is an absolute materialist and does not believe in any demons and ghosts in this world, but the same scene and the same weather make him feel extremely dull. Who killed Zhang Mai? Who exactly does he have evidence of his crimes? It's still a mystery. Since Luo Yang put on this police uniform, he can't remember how many difficult and serious cases he has solved. But in the case of his brother-in-law, he had to admit that the criminal was a veteran of anti-reconnaissance, and he did it seamlessly. Three years have passed, and the case has gone through two criminal investigation captains. The former head of the criminal investigation team, who is now the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation work, Xu Haotian, after Luo Yang arrived, once gave him a task that was to solve Zhang Mai's case. But judging from the fact that some people not only remembered Zhang Mai's death date in the past three years, but also insisted on sweeping his grave, this mysterious person must have mastered some details of this case. Imagine further, he may even know the details of the suspect. But why wouldn't he show up? Or just come to him? What is he afraid of?

The habit of occupation makes Luo Yang want to think about everything deeply. As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, Luo Yang looked around again. He placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tomb, put the lit cigarette on the tombstone, and then opened the Wuliangye wine and gently sprinkled it around the tombstone.

Zhang Fan quietly watched his uncle finish all this, and he asked, "Is my father sleeping here?" ”

Luo Yang replied: "Yes, your father sleeps here." ”

"His house is a little too small."

As he spoke, he looked up at his mother.

Roland touched her son's head with her hand, tears glistening in her eyes. However, she tried to restrain herself from letting the tears roll down. When her husband died, Zhang Fan was less than one year old. Therefore, he did not feel the pain of losing his father.

After the memorial service, Luo Yang accompanied his mother and sister down the mountain. Because of that thought just now, Luo Yang opened the car door and asked his mother to go up first, then bent down and carefully checked the lower brake part, until he thought there was nothing wrong before sitting in the driver's seat.

Just as his car started to slide forward, the figure of a woman flashed in the bushes not far away, and then disappeared into the thick fog.

……

Back in the bureau, as soon as Luo Yang's ass sat on the office chair, he couldn't wait to talk to Zhu Feng about what happened just now.

"Who do you think it would be? Can you remember Zhang Mai's death date so accurately? ”

"It can't be his relative, right? Or maybe it's a colleague in our bureau. ”

"Zhang Mai is an orphan, and he has no relatives anymore. If you want to talk about colleagues in the bureau," Luo Yang stared at Zhu Feng and said casually, "That person shouldn't be you, right?" ”

"Me?" Zhu Feng's heart was a little empty, "If I want to go, I'll go with you, why do you want to go secretly alone?" ”

"That's because—" Luo Yang deliberately dragged his long voice, a bit like a teaser, and his eyes were unceremoniously fixed on the eyes that were avoiding him, "That's because someone doesn't want to contact my sister head-on." ”

Zhu Feng's face turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Luo Yang added: "I said Team Zhu, when are you going to be my brother-in-law?" ”

This time Zhu Feng was even more panicked, he gestured to stop Luo Yang, and at the same time looked nervously at the door a few times, but fortunately, the door of the office was closed. Only then did he glared at Luo Yang complainingly, and muttered in a low voice, "You don't make fun of me, okay?" ”

"Don't think I can't see it, if you don't have any thoughts about my sister, then why are you blushing?" Luo Yang and Luo Lan are a pair of dragon and phoenix twin siblings, and he cares more about his sister than himself.

When Luo Yang said this, Zhu Feng's face turned even redder, he smiled embarrassedly, changed the topic, and said: "Don't worry about whether I can be your brother-in-law or not, let's study and study first, how can we catch the murderer of Zhang Mai." ”

As soon as the words fell, both of them fell into deep thought.

When Zhang Mai was killed, Luo Yang was investigating a drug trafficking case. By the time he escorted the suspect back to Pingdao from Heilongjiang, Zhang Mai's body had already been cremated. However, Zhu Feng participated in the investigation of the case from beginning to end, and he and Xu Haotian, the then captain of the criminal investigation team, rushed to the accident site as soon as possible. Zhang Mai and his informant Duan Damin were both shot to death with a special sharp weapon. Judging from the situation at the scene at that time, the murderer was a murder weapon fired at them from hiding in the bushes a few meters away. The first to be shot should be Zhang Mai, and Duan Damin was too late to escape when he saw this. That's why they were three or four meters apart, one fell on his back and the other on his back. The murderer's methods are quite accurate. They all had three sharp weapons in their bodies, and these three sharp weapons were all shot at the heart, and there was no trace of struggle after Zhang Mai or Duan Damin fell to the ground.

The first thing Luo Yang did when he returned to the city was to ask Zhu Feng, who was a member of the task force, to take him to the scene of the crime. This is obviously a distrust of the task force headed by Xu Haotian, but Zhang Mai is Luo Yang's brother-in-law after all, and everyone understands his behavior. As investigated by the task force, he found nothing at the scene of the crime.

Next, the bureau's leadership team was adjusted, the old director Xin Qizhou retreated to the second line, and the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation Tong Xiao was promoted to director, and Xu Haotian naturally took over Tong Xiao's position. Luo Yang was transferred from the Municipal Anti-Narcotics Detachment back to the Jingshan Public Security Bureau as the head of the criminal investigation team, and Zhu Feng became his deputy. During their tenure, the two led the criminal investigation team to crack many major cases, but the "6.13" case has never been clueless. They analyzed that Zhang Mai must have mastered some evidence of a criminal gang with the nature of the underworld before he was killed by the murderer. And Duan Damin is either an insider, or he is a bait to lure Zhang Mai to the murderer's ambush site. The killer may be a professional killer or a member of a criminal gang. But no matter what type he belongs to, he is very well hidden, so it is very difficult to find him. Over the past few years, in addition to being busy with one investigation after another, they have been staying in some criminal cases that have been cracked in unexpected provinces and cities, looking for any more cases of killing people with steel needles. However, they were disappointed.

Suddenly, Luo Yang's eyebrows raised, and he said, "You said that the person who sent flowers to Zhang Mai is Duan Damin's relative?" He looked at Zhu Feng with some excitement, "You think, Duan Damin must have some major evidence of a criminal gang or criminal suspect in his hands, so Zhang Mai is in a hurry to meet him, and our opponent can't wait to kill him." So, we're going to find the guy who went to the cemetery to deliver flowers. ”
