"It was 7:10 p.m. when we left last night, and Shi Nara was killed between 10 and 11 p.m., which means that three or four hours after we left, Shi Nara was killed." Wei Chihong's expression was cold, "Shi Naliang's murder must be related to the serial rape and murder case that happened on Zhulang Island. ”

"Kill people?" Lu Bin expressed his opinion again, "If Shi Nara is not the real criminal, then it is possible that he knows who the real criminal is, and the other party knows that we have found Shi Naliang, so they killed him." ”

"It's too early to draw conclusions, so let's start an investigation." After that, Wei Chihong went to see the items that Cao Chongshan had collected at the scene, including the deceased's mobile phone, laptop, voice recorder, remote control of the recorder, music scores, hair that fell on the ground, and so on. Among them, the Sony voice recorder D100 particularly attracted the attention of Wei Chihong, yesterday when Yu Chihong and Qiao Yan and Lu Bin came to visit Shi Nara, he was using this voice recorder to record.

The D100 is a very high-end voice recorder, and in order to ensure that no detail is missed, it also supports up to 5 seconds of advance recording, which is similar to the Zoe or time shift functions on mobile phone photography. Instead of pressing the record button to start recording, it can cache the time of 5 seconds, and when the play button is pressed, the recording will officially start, so that the information of the first 5 seconds can also be retained. This feature effectively prevents you from missing pressing the record button due to distraction or various reasons, and keeps the information you want to record as complete as possible.

Wei Chihong checked the recorder, there was only one file in it, he remembered that when he came yesterday, Shi Nara was recording, and there should be at least two pieces in it, "Sonata in B minor" and "Lover Under the Rose", but now there is only one file, is he not satisfied with the deletion, or is there another reason?

"Boss, Shi Nara's agent is here." Lu Bin reported.

Yu Chihong and Qiao Yan walked out of the living room. Hong Han, dressed in a black suit, stood outside the gate of the villa. "I just got the news and rushed here." His expression was sad and solemn, "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, I just negotiated with someone a few days ago about the next tour, and signed a contract, how can I ...... His death has caused me and the company extremely heavy losses! ”

"Do you know anything about Shi Nara's murder?" Wei Chihong asked with a straight face, he had a very bad impression of Hong Han, it turned out that what he was grieving was not Shi Nara's death, but the heavy loss of himself and the company.

"Well...... I don't really know. Hong Han touched his neck with his hand, "Shi Naliang's personality is rather strange, and he has offended many people. But I can't think of any hatred that would go to the point of killing. ”

"Where's the character?" Yu Chihong asked.

"He is very stubborn and does his own thing, so he has a lot of disputes, and every time he asks me to be his grandson to settle for him." Hong Han did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction with the deceased, "But despite this, I still admire his talent very much, so I am dedicated to cultivating him and protecting him." ”

Qiao Yan, who had been listening quietly to their conversation next to her, asked, "How did you become Shi Nara's agent?" ”

"He and my brother in the United States are good friends, and my brother introduced him." Hong Han replied.

On the way back to the Public Security Bureau, Wei Chihong asked Qiao Yan: "What do you think of Hong Han's statement?" ”

"He lied, he must know something about Shi Nara's murder." Qiao Yan analyzed, "When people feel nervous, the brain will unconsciously touch the body through the hands, and these actions include clenching hands, wiping the forehead, wiping the temples, touching the lips, etc. When you feel uneasy, irritable, frightened, worried, or nervous, you will cover or touch your neck. When you asked Hong Han if he knew anything about Shi Naliang's murder just now, he touched his neck with his hand, and he must have concealed something. ”

In the forensic science and technology laboratory, Cao Chongshan and others were busy identifying various items brought back from Shi Nara's residence. Wei Chihong sat on the side, listening to the music played by the recorder with headphones plugged in, and holding a sheet of music in his hand.

Cao Chongshan looked at him as if he was very leisurely, and snatched the score from his hand.

Yu Chihong took off his headphones and looked at Cao Chongshan inexplicably.

"Hey, we're busy like dogs, but you're at ease, and you want to be angry with me!" Cao Chongshan was puffed up.

"Where am I relaxing?" Wei Chihong stared at the distorted face.

Cao Chongshan snorted heavily. "Listening to music with headphones plugged in, isn't it leisurely?"

Wei Chihong looked at him coldly. "I don't have such leisure, I'm analyzing the case."

Cao Chongshan put the score in front of him, looking left and right. "With the dense bean sprouts on this, what can be analyzed?"

"This is a stave, not bean sprouts, I'm not afraid of being uneducated, I'm afraid of talking nonsense." Wei Chihong mocked.

"Of course I know it's staves, and I'm kidding you." Cao Chongshan shrugged his eyebrows, "I thought you had been trained by Xiao Qiao to be like a normal person, but I didn't expect it to be so inhuman, it seems that Xiao Qiao hasn't learned the art of mastering the husband at home, I'll teach her two tricks another day." ”

A smile finally appeared on Wei Chihong's face. "If you want to teach the husband master, my sister-in-law will teach it, what does it have to do with you? Are you too aggrieved by your wife, and your psychology is seriously unbalanced, so you want to pull me into the water? ”

"Cut, I don't feel aggrieved." Cao Chongshan wrinkled his nose, "Fear of your wife is a virtue, and you don't have this virtue yet." ”

Wei Chihong was not interested in continuing with him, and his attention returned to the score. "This is the score of "Lover Under the Rose", I compared it with the recording, and I felt that something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Cao Chongshan was also curious.

"Forget it, you don't understand music, so it's useless to tell you. I'll go to Qiao Yan. Wei Chihong didn't give him face, got up and left.

"It just doesn't make sense!" Cao Chongshan crossed his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows at Yu Chihong's back.

Yu Chihong really went to the office to find Qiao Yan. Qiao Yan and Wan Xing were studying the four numbers "8", "0", "2" and "3" written in blood by Shi Nara before he died.

"Wanxing has already figured out the meaning of these numbers." Qiao Yan reported to him as soon as she saw Wei Chihong.

Yu Chihong came over and asked, "What does it mean?" ”

Wan Xing said that 8023 stands for LOVE, which is a classic digital sign language in Song Xiaobo's sign language book. By gesturing with your hands, you can see:

"8", with the thumb and index finger apart, represents "L";

"0", for "O";

"2", split index and middle fingers, representing "V";

"3", with the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger crossed, represents "E".

Together, it is "LOVE".

"What does 'love' mean?" Wei Chihong wondered in his heart, Shi Nara was stabbed to death, but before he died, he wrote in blood to express his love? This is too counterintuitive. But he didn't say anything, just handed the voice recorder in his hand to Qiao Yan, "Listen to the recording here and see if you can hear anything." ”

Qiao Yan put the headphones into her ears and listened carefully to the score. Wan Xing silently got up and walked away, giving up his seat to Yu Chihong.

When Qiao Yan was listening to music, Yu Chihong sat next to her, looking at her delicate and beautiful face like a work of art, focused and affectionate.

Qiao Yan also listened attentively, and turned her head sideways after the music ended, only to feel Yu Chihong's burning gaze.

"Don't look at me like that." She whispered.

Yu Chihong glanced back, Wan Xing was no longer in the office, and she consciously left space for Yu Chihong and Qiao Yan. Zeng Jinling also went out, and there was no one else in the office, so Yu Chihong had no scruples and leaned over to kiss her on the face.

"Beware of another sue against you." Qiao Yan reproached softly.

Yu Chihong simply hugged her shoulder. "There's no one else here, unless you're suing me."

"Okay, let's get serious." Qiao Yan broke his hand, "I've listened to the tune, it's the song "Lover Under the Rose", including this one just now, I have listened to it a total of three times, the first time was at the concert, the second time was at Shi Nara's house last night, and now it is the third time, each time I listen to it differently, the concert is romantic and affectionate, I felt very desolate last night, in the recorder, how to say, it seems to have a strong desire to express, it is different from the previous two times, it is definitely not played for us last night. Also, comparing the score, the music in the recorder is similar to the beginning of the score, with some slight changes at the beginning and a big change at the end. ”

"It's the same as me." Wei Chihong nodded in agreement. "I also saw something wrong with the score, starting in the middle, the content of the performance was different from the score, and the ending was quite different. As a composer, do whatever you want

It's not surprising to alter your own compositions, to improvise. The problem is that this piece was composed by him for the people he loves, and it is not very reasonable to change it casually. This recording shows the time from 10:41 to 10:53 last night, and it was during the time when Shi Nara was killed, and I always felt that there was something unusual about it. ”

Qiao Yan thought silently for a while, and couldn't come to any conclusion for the time being. The scene when Shi Nara and Luo Yi played "Lover Under the Rose" together on the stage, the soothing and beautiful melody used to touch people's hearts deeply and arouse the listener's longing for love. But now, they have been separated from each other, and many unpleasant things have happened in the process. She couldn't help the sourness in her heart, and leaned her head on Wei Chihong's shoulder to seek comfort.

"Aren't you afraid of being sued?" Yu Chihong stroked her face.

Qiao Yan immediately sat up straight.

Yu Chihong smiled slightly. "It's all frightened, it's not so serious."

"It's better to be careful." Qiao Yan herself is not afraid of anything, but she is worried that the bureau leaders will have opinions on Wei Chihong and affect his future.
