Chapter 35: Past and Present
Next door to their apartment lives a young couple with an extremely cute daughter with blue eyes and a sweet smile named Alice, whose parents said that because they like the heroine of "Alice in Wonderland" very much, they hope that their daughter can be as brave and strong as Alice in the novel, and become a girl with wisdom and ideas.
Alice's father and mother met in college, and many foreign couples don't care so much about the ownership of the house, they care more about the quality of life, while domestic couples have to ask for a house and a car before they get married. Alice was in kindergarten at that time, Han Yu and Ye Youchen had a good relationship with them, and there was still a while after leaving school at that time, so sometimes her parents would ask them when they didn't have time to pick up Alice.
Often Han Yu went to pick them up, Alice could not speak Chinese, under Ye Youchen's teaching, she would stumble and call them "brother". Every time she picked it up, Han Yu cooked her some dinner at home, and then looked at her book, and Alice was also very well-behaved, so she lay on the table and drew her own paintings. Han Yu and Ye Youchen both like this cute and smart little girl very much, and they almost completely treat her as their own sister.
In the middle of summer, Ye Youchen felt that school was about to start, so he discussed with Han Yu to go to a nearby city for a walk, which was a short trip. Even though Han Yu's personality is a little colder, he is also a teenager in his youth, and he also has good expectations for the future. That is, when they came back a few days, they found that the apartment was in a mess, and Alice's family was gone, and there was a police cordon in front of the house. It turned out that the apartment had been robbed, and none of Alice's family survived.
When Han Yu stood in the morgue of the police station and looked at the familiar corpses, especially the little Alice, her usual cute smile was now cold. The police investigated for a long time, but they never caught the murderer, and at that time, Han Yu decided to learn criminal psychology and catch the murderer himself.
Ye Youchen had unconsciously finished drinking a can, and picked up another can, fortunately, Han Yu's house was fully heated, so he wouldn't feel cold when drinking wine in the winter. "I remember that you were very determined to change your major at that time." Thinking of that time, Ye Youchen also sighed, he always felt that he was more rational and alienated than Han Yu, but later found out that Han Yu was actually a more rational person in life.
The murderer was later caught, and it was Han Yu who took the initiative to go to the police station to provide clues, at that time he had changed his major, and he worked hard almost every day to study the case to analyze the case, and finally found a problem. When the police investigated the case, they found that the three deceased at the scene were all killed by one shot, and there were no valuable fingerprints left at the scene, except that the home was turned over, and some cash and jewelry were taken away, almost no information about the murderer was found. Later, the bullets were analyzed, and the results showed that they could be bought in ordinary places where guns were purchased. The murderer was so cautious that the police always felt that it was a premeditated professional murderer.
If it was a premeditated professional murderer, what was their purpose? Is it just for robbery? At that time, Han Yu performed well in school, and the senior he knew happened to be a police officer who participated in the investigation of that case as soon as he graduated, so he went to see the file in the name of an internship visit. At that time, the police mainly believed that the murderer used a gun and was cruel, and one shot was fatal, and he didn't even let the child go, so the murderer was very cold-blooded. But looking back, the murderer is very familiar with guns and has good marksmanship, indicating that he often comes into contact with guns in his life. And the murderer turned the house into a mess without leaving any fingerprints, which shows that he is very bold and thoughtful. The guns and bullets used by the murderer were easy to buy, but after the police checked around, they didn't find any matches at all, indicating that his profession could be accessed to these, so he didn't need to leave his name in the shop's purchase list.
Later, Han Yu said his thoughts, but fortunately, the person in charge of the police station at that time was a reasonable person, and he felt that Han Yu's idea was somewhat reasonable, and he was willing to try it, so he re-investigated the case and found the murderer. As a result, the murderer was a seventeen-year-old boy, his family ran a gun store, and he followed his father to hunt since he was a child, and his marksmanship was excellent. The case happened a year ago, when he went to gamble, lost a lot, and was afraid to tell his family, so he decided to take a risk.
In the interrogation room, he couldn't stop crying, saying that he had only planned to steal something valuable while wearing gloves, and that he had never thought of killing people at all, and that he was holding a gun just to be brave and to scare people. But when he entered the house, he woke them up, and in a fit of rage, he opened fire, and the little girl's screams made him completely lose his mind.
After the case ended, Han Yu and Ye Youchen went to the cemetery to see them. Since then, the name Han Yu has been known to many people, and he is determined to become a policeman.
In the living room of Han Yu's room, the hour hand on the wall was already one o'clock in the morning. Ye Youchen didn't know how much he drank, his whole person looked a little dizzy, and he said, "Han Yu, you remember, no matter what the world is like, as long as you remember what you believe, the rest doesn't matter." ”
Seeing Ye Youchen leaning on the sofa and falling asleep, Han Yu put him away, covered him with a quilt, and walked to the window, the night was quiet, and the tall buildings in the distance were flashing neon.
"Yes, as long as what I believe in and hold on to remains the same, no matter how dark the world is, I will be able to see the light in a few hours." Han Yu thought so in his heart, lowered his head and smiled, it seems that Ye Youchen, a psychiatrist, is not in vain, every time he is confused, he will suddenly become enlightened when he chats with him.
As the saying goes, "Laba is the New Year", and even the police force has hung festive decorations. Couplets were pasted on the doorway, lanterns were hung, and the office was decorated with a lot of red. Cheng Jiaxuan's hair is neater today, and he is also wearing a dark gray coat, which is completely different from the previous look, so when he arrived in the team, everyone asked him what was wrong. Cheng Jiaxuan's face was proud that couldn't be hidden, "Didn't our family Yuanyuan have a winter vacation, she said that I looked unenergetic, so she specially gave me my hair early in the morning, and also picked out clothes for me, right?" ”
Bai Yifan nodded, "Brother Jia, Yuanyuan is really very discerning." ”
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled, "I said Lao Cheng, I'm not used to you like this." ”
Cheng Jiaxuan rolled his eyes, leaned in front of Han Yu and asked, "Team Han, what do you say about me?" ”
Han Yu smiled and nodded in praise, "At least ten years younger." ”
Cheng Jiaxuan pouted, "I don't care what you say, anyway, our family Yuanyuan just has a vision, besides, this is not my good foundation." ”
"By the way, it's almost the New Year, how will you spend it then?" Bai Yifan asked.
Cheng Jiaxuan was the first to answer, "I plan to come to something different this year, and take my wife and children to play on that island abroad." ”
"Yo, that's good," Ye Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, "Why did you have this idea this year?" ”
"Isn't it because of Yuanyuan? I am usually busy with work, and her mother is also busy with work, and she was almost at home during holidays in previous years, and she has not taken her out in so many years. That day, she told me that she wanted to go to the beach to see, our Linhua City is an inland city, at most there is a river or a lake or something, how can there be a sea. So I thought about it, just take advantage of the Chinese New Year to take them to foreign islands, which are warm and beautiful. ”
"That's good, I guess Yuanyuan will be very happy." Han Yu also dealt with the matter at hand, and then walked over to a few people.
"But seriously, I haven't been abroad yet. As you know, at my age, I don't speak English very well. Can you give me some advice or something. ”
"Or, sign up for a group." Bai Yifan suggested, "It's very cost-effective to sign up for the group, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged, so you don't have to worry about the language." ”
"That's true, but I'll have to ask Yuanyuan's opinion. She doesn't seem to like this, so ask her first. ”
Ye Xiaoxiao pulled out a chair, sat down and said slowly, "Actually, if you and your sister-in-law don't mind, I can join you." "Cheng Jiaxuan is older than Ye Xiaoxiao, although she usually calls Lao Cheng Lao Cheng, but she still calls his daughter-in-law sister-in-law.
"Really?" Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes lit up, "Your sister-in-law said it yesterday, why don't I call you." I'm afraid that you have your own plans and disrupt you, and if you can go, we will be very happy, especially Yuanyuan. "Ye Xiaoxiao's English is very good, and in previous years, she almost always went abroad alone, so she is also very familiar with foreign countries.
"What can I do, if you don't mind, I'll be with you." Ye Xiaoxiao smiled.
