He took a deep breath and recounted what had just happened. After listening to this, Gao Cheng walked over to the tree and squatted down, pinched a piece of mud with his fingers, and I walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with this soil?" ”

"Soaked in gasoline."

"It was caused by the car leaking oil later." When I brought it up, I immediately felt that it was wrong, the burned car was only more than a meter away from the tree, and if the gasoline flowed here, wouldn't it all burn it down? I asked, "Why did the car burn down?" ”

Gao Cheng replied without raising his head: "Spontaneous combustion." ”

I was stunned, the car spontaneously combusted? Turning around, "Didn't you find any traces of arson and tinder?" But this is not necessarily spontaneous combustion. Gao Cheng straightened up: "Spontaneous combustion can also be man-made." Wait until they find the stump before making a decision. "When Xu Jianglun and I were rescued just now, the stump arm in the grass had already rolled down to nowhere, and Zhang Ji arranged for someone to go down to search for it after learning about it.

While waiting, Takahiro asked me for an answer.

I stared at the mark on the tree and said, word by word, "We used to go in the wrong direction, thinking that there were letters at the beginning and at the end, and there must be letters in the middle." I thought that the meaning of lmk might be letmekno, or refer to Wu Yan, Yu Xiuping, and Du Xiangyuan, but I didn't understand it completely wrong until just now. The one in the middle is not m at all, nor is it a single letter, but the symbol &. After a total of thirteen more strokes, he must not have imagined that no matter how much cover-up he had, he could be stripped away layer by layer, revealing the truth at the bottom. "For me, the order in which each stroke is made, the beginning and the end of the stroke, are clearly recognizable.

Before, I thought that holding a paintbrush in my hand was just my liking, and I wanted to paint something in the imagination space, but just now, I understood one thing, there are pictures everywhere around, as big as a sky, as small as a scratch, can actually be recorded and identified by the profession I am good at.

Just as he was thinking to himself, Gao Cheng's voice came from his ear: "No, he thought of it." It just took more time than he expected. ”

My mind fluttered, "Did he do it on purpose?" ”

Gao Cheng didn't answer and asked: "Tell me why you didn't see these marks from the previous time?" ”

"Because you engraved the mark on the printing film, the brushstrokes are messed up, no, you said that the person was in too much of a hurry when he carved it, and he didn't have time to do too much to cover it up, so he engraved it with a pen." I understand what he meant, the mark in Wu Yan's house may not be able to cover up too much due to time constraints, so there is definitely plenty of time on this tree, if this person wants to cover up something, there are methods and opportunities. But he only worked on the word in the middle, and the purpose was revealed.

"Insolent and restrained, bold and cautious, understanding the location when judging the sky, like a shadow." Gao Cheng's eyes flashed, "I've finally met an interesting opponent." ”

I was so relieved, it was the first time I had seen Gao Cheng so affirmed. You must know that in Wu Yan's case, he saw through the whole story of the case at a glance, and Du Xiangyuan, the mastermind behind the scenes, couldn't get into his eyes at all.

At this time, the criminal police who went down the cliff to search came up, but the stump was not found, but another male corpse was found under the cliff.

When Zhang Ji came over to ask Gao Cheng if he wanted to go down together, I thought he would refuse, but I didn't think he would say yes, "Just go and see." And lowered his eyes and told me: "You wait on it, don't toss around." "You must know that for the sake of efficiency, all the criminal policemen pulled the lead rope from my landslide position and climbed down, it is not surprising that they have received special training, but Gao Cheng did not hesitate to pull the rope and jump down, and soon disappeared into the bushes.

Thinking about the night I followed him to Wu Yan's floor, he was completely controlled by him when he raised his hand, obviously a practitioner, and I was relieved. Anyway, with his personality, it's impossible to do something that he is not sure of.

While waiting, I always looked at the crying and hugging person on the other side, the little boy hugged the middle-aged woman sadly, wiping her tears for her, and she should have been the one who scared me so much just now. But I don't blame her, there is no mother who is not sad when she sees her daughter's head in a different place, and it can be seen that the relationship between the three of them must be very good.

The astringent discomfort in my heart, for the sorrow of the child's mother and daughter, but also for myself. How long has it been since I spoke on the phone with my mother?

When Gao Cheng analyzed me for the first time, he actually hit the sore spot in my heart, because he didn't want to admit that his family affection was really weak. If I hadn't reached out, my mother would have kept calling me for the whole year, and even if I did, she would have been extremely cold. After many attempts, I also stopped thinking, maybe the mother-daughter relationship is really shallow.

When Gao Cheng came up, the faces of the people were very heavy, but he was the only one who stretched his expression, and his eyes were full of light. When he walked up to me, there was excitement in his voice: "Do you know how he died?" I shook my head blankly, and he suddenly reached over and pulled my hair hanging down my shoulders, and when he retracted his hand, his eyes lit up: "Fell to death." ”

I don't understand that the man fell to his death, why should he be so happy?

Then he said, "The man's left arm and left foot are fitted with prosthetic limbs. I was slightly stunned, this was unexpected, I thought of something, and slowly turned my head to look at the corpse covered by the white cloth. If I'm not mistaken, Tong Ziqi was also injured in her left foot and two nails were implanted, and what she lost was ...... Left arm.

Since being instilled with the concept by Gao Cheng, the word "coincidence" is no longer rashly quoted. vaguely understood that he was excited, and he must have figured out something. At this time, the follow-up criminal police had dragged the male corpse up from under the cliff, and the child and the child's mother were called over to identify the male corpse, which was a man, slightly fat, and unrecognizable. I don't know how to describe it, that face looks like it has been broken, and it looks like it has been eaten by something, and it can't be seen at all. I don't know if the prosthetic limb fell off when he fell, or if the forensic doctor removed it and didn't put it on during the preliminary examination just now, and the left arm and left leg were not there, which looked particularly penetrating.

The children were very frightened, and after a hurried look, they said they didn't know each other. Indeed, who can identify such a corpse?

The sky is getting darker, the scene has basically been surveyed and recorded, and the police are doing the aftermath. Arrangements were made for the child, mother and daughter and the two corpses to be sent back to the city one after another, and the evidence collectors had to go back immediately for further investigation.

On the way, I saw that Gao Cheng was always thoughtful, so I didn't bother him. As the car drove quietly into town, I whispered to the police driver in the front seat. Gao Cheng suddenly asked, "Why did you go to the hospital?" I looked back at him, "One day, two people were in the hospital for my injuries, so I have to go and see them." ”

"Hmph, it's still a policeman, and I don't even understand the reason why a snake catches seven inches."

Knowing that he was talking about Xu Jianglun, I retorted in a low voice: "The police also have to look at the right time, if he hesitates at that time, it means that I was bitten by a snake." Gao Cheng sneered: "If you want to be a hero to save the United States, your strength is not good." ”

I pursed my lips and looked out the window: "Where was your master at that time?" The moment he was about to call for help, it was him who flashed in his mind, but it was Xu Jianglun who came. There was silence beside me, and I turned my head to see that his face was rarely dark and composed.

After listening to the doctor say that Xu Jianglun's snake venom had been completely removed, the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. In the ward, Xu Jianglun was asleep, with a drip hanging on the top of his head, and his injured hand had been wrapped in gauze. The nurse said he would have to sleep until tomorrow before waking up, and that his body needed a state of rest after the toxins were removed.

When he left the ward, he didn't see anyone from Gao Cheng, and walked straight to the other side. Jiang Yan's complexion is still not very good, her face is as white as paper, but her spirit is much better than when I left before. Behind the glitter, Jiang Yan is just an ordinary woman. She took my hand and whispered about the hardships of a woman from entrepreneurship to gradual success, and these hardships can't withstand the pain of emotions that can't go to people. She said that she may have lived like this for the rest of her life, slowly swallowing the bitterness and astringency into her heart, and putting laughter and strength on her face.

If there was a biased view of her before, it has completely disappeared at this time. The collision of hearts is probably like this, and I understand why she values utilitarianism, because only by standing in front of people and being noticed can the darkness in her heart be swept away.

Before leaving, Jiang Yan asked with a faint smile, "Xia Zhu, are we friends?" ”

I smiled back: "Wasn't it a long time ago?" ”

Friend, there is no special definition, the first moment may still have a whisper in her heart, the next moment touches each other's hearts, a moment of feeling, a collision of hearts.

Walking out of the hospital building, Gao Cheng was nowhere to be seen, I thought about it and took out my mobile phone and dialed it: "Where are you?" ”

"Behind you."

Turning his head, he saw him coming from the elevator, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Where have you been?" ”

His reply was, "Just hang out." I looked up and saw that the lights were shining all over the building, and then at him, and I commented, "You're really unique in this fun." He snorted softly and walked away with a black face.

This night was destined to be unpeaceful, as soon as he got into the taxi, Gao Cheng's phone was ringing, and he glanced at it and pinched it off. But only a minute later, the cell phone rang again in the carriage, and this time it was mine. It was an unsigned stranger's phone, I answered it with a little hesitation, and there was a chill in my cold voice: "Is Sir Gao by your side?" ”

After the call, I looked at Gao Cheng, "Zhang Ji called and said that a ring was found in Tong Ziqi's body, which was the evidence that was never found in Wu Yan's case. ”<
