Chapter 2 Guilt is deserved

The British community, as its name suggests, is like the English painter Thomas? Gilding's works are full of enthusiasm, beauty, abstraction and dreaminess.

When Long Xirui and Hua Cub arrived, it was already sunset, and a wisp of twilight added a bit of poetry to the eyes. But the gorgeous silence gradually gave people a mysterious sense of ominousness, and within a radius of 100 meters, there was not even a single figure.

"It was there that morning that I met Pi — no, it was — Pi Lao's daughter, whose name seemed to be, and she was an elementary school teacher." Hua Cub pointed to the corner of the building not far away, where several garbage bins were placed side by side. "Her legs were missing below the knees, and her whole body was curled up in a ball, stuffed in one of the boss's suitcases." She put her hands to her face and whispered to Long Xirui, "Moreover, she was naked at that time!" ”

"Is that the scene you discovered?" Long Xirui walked towards the corner of the building, her eyes never leaving the ground.

"There were a lot of people around at the time, and then someone called the police, and the police immediately cordoned off the scene. I used to like to go for a run in this garden-like neighborhood every morning, but now I feel panicked even thinking about it. ”

In a moment, Long Xirui was already in front of the garbage can, and she turned around and looked around.

"Of course, the worst is the people of the Pi family, the old couple is such a daughter, I heard that Mrs. Pi suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and went to the hospital that day. The murderer is simply mad, what a deep hatred, he has to pick up people's clothes, break people's legs, and throw people next to the garbage can. Hua Cub said more and more indignantly, "The police haven't solved the case yet, a group of wine bags and rice bags, they have the ability to catch thieves, I want to ...... back then" She swallowed back when the words came to her mouth.

"It doesn't sound like the murderer is simple."

"So I thought of you at once, but fortunately let me find your message box, so I took the initiative to find Pi Lao."

"The next thing is to pimp, rip off, and be a flower thief?"

"Picking flowers and thieves" is what Jenny overheard when she was praising Hua Cub when she was a child, and Hua Cub was surprised when she said four words, and she said with some embarrassment: "Okay, it's my class that gets the axe, and the little thing is big, and people know it's wrong, so don't mess with me." However, if I can have a few tricks with Miaohua, my Hua cub will die without regrets. She said the last sentence with pride.

At this time, several dog barks were heard in the distance.

"Black Miao, good, don't scream." An old woman said to a black-haired puppy on the ground. Next to her stood a man and a woman, the woman holding a pen and writing something on a notepad.

"We had to be cautious and try not to go out, and we didn't dare to come out after dark. If it weren't for the little thing for a walk......" she said passively tugging at the leash and continuing to the two of them, "when are you going to solve the case?" It's terrible, it's just terrorism! ”

"Mother-in-law, you are making a big fuss! Rest assured, there is our people's police. If I catch that guy, I'll have to hit him and lick your black seedling's ass. The man said loudly.

The woman immediately stretched out her hand and pushed him, and said, "Three sentences, the mouth is not closed, it sounds like a terrorist." If you hear it, you look good! ”

When Long Xirui and Hua Cub passed by the three of them, Hua Cub turned her head and winked at the man mischievously with her left eye. This glance seemed to inadvertently snatch away his soul, and made him look straight until the woman pulled him hard with a little jealousy. Of course, what he is concerned about is not only Hua Cub'er's youthful Lori, but also Long Xirui's pure and elegant is an irresistible temptation.

Pishenglao's home is on the 17th floor, and the door is wide open. Several people were busy in the room, some were checking things, some were taking pictures, some were drawing, some were recording.

"Mr. Pi, I know that the trauma caused to you by the whole incident is indescribable." A magnetic man's voice said.

"No, I'm fine." The gray-haired old man sat on the sofa and said in a slightly stiff tone, "What can I do when everything changes?" - Pay taxes as usual, hehe, and what can you do? - Let a vicious murderer go unpunished? Hehe! ”

"I know, it's been three days, and our detection work is not going well."

Pi Shenglao took off the mechanical watch on his left wrist and wound it up one by one. "Even if a stopped watch shows the correct time twice a day."

"Mr. Pi, I hope you can understand that ridiculing our police work is not helpful in solving the case."

"Captain Deng, I just want to express my feelings."

"But that doesn't sound like just feelings." Captain Deng softened his tone, "So far, we have very few clues at hand, and the one who can provide us with the most clues is the victim of the case, Pixi, your daughter, but you don't agree with us to make a transcript for her face-to-face, this is ......"

"The doctor said she had PTSD, what 'post-traumatic stress disorder'. My daughter is only 23 years old, and I don't think she can provide you with any valuable clues right now, let alone provoke her and hurt her. While speaking, Pi Shenglao saw Hua Cub entering the room and Long Xirui behind her, and he immediately stood up.

This move made Captain Deng also turn his head to watch, and when he saw Hua and Long, he was stunned at first, and then asked, "......Who are these two?"

"The private investigator I hired." Pi Shenglao's face was quite proud.

"The famous Wonder Flower Detective." Hua Xiao'er echoed casually.

When Captain Deng's eyes met, what Long Xirui saw was a handsome and extraordinary face, with bright eyes, a high nose, and a square and angular jaw. He was smiling, but with a sense of majesty.

"Criminal Police Team Serious Crime Team, Deng Haoran." He looked at Long Xirui and said, "I heard that with your three points of strength, there is nothing difficult in the world." Looks like I'm going to have to learn from you today. ”

Long Xirui smiled back: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." Isn't it everyone's duty to punish evil and promote good? ”

"It's really a question that you can't say no." Deng Haoran said, his eyes never left Long Xirui's eyes.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Chief, there is a discovery." A crumpled piece of paper was handed to Deng Haoran. Found in a wastebasket in the study. ”

Almost everyone in the room came together.

"Dear students," Deng Haoran read aloud the words on the paper, "I was wrong. After deep introspection, I finally realized...... own mistakes"

Everyone saw that the words "their own mistakes" were crossed out with a horizontal line, and the handwriting on the paper ended there.

"God, bring me the paper basket." Deng Haoran said.

"God" is the person who just handed him the paper ball, a middle-aged man with a mustache. Before he could finish speaking, "God" carried the paper basket in his left hand, and took out two paper balls from it with his right hand and handed them to him.

Deng Haoran quickly flattened a paper ball, only to see that it was written: "Students: I know myself...... The words "wrong" and "wrong" were crossed out, and there was no follow-up. He then unraveled another ball of paper that read: "Dear students: I was wrong. After deep introspection, I finally realized my mistake. I shouldn't" That's all there is to it, but this one is not underlined.

Deng Haoran grabbed the paper basket, and there was nothing else in it except a supermarket shopping list. He picked up the shopping list, which recorded only a 3.9 yuan water-based pen, and the purchase date was 12:08 on October 23.

"It was noon the day before we found." "God" said.

"Mr. Pi, have you poured the contents of the paper basket these days?" Deng Haoran asked.

"No, this is the paper basket in Xiaoqian's study, the study is for her, and her mother and I rarely go in."

"We'll have to go into her study." Deng Haoran said and walked briskly towards the study, Long Xirui followed, and the others followed one by one.

A large wooden desk occupies the main space of the study, a computer, a lamp, a stack of lesson plans, a stack of blank paper, and a water-based pen.

Deng Haoran reached out and picked up the water-based pen and scratched a few times on the white paper, the color was consistent with the handwriting on the paper.

"It looks like those words were written by Pissi herself." Long Xirui said as she took the lesson plan on the table and compared the handwriting of the two.

"In other words, Pissi bought a water-based pen from the supermarket at noon the day before the accident, then went home, and then used the pen to write these things." Deng Haoran arranged the three crumpled pieces of paper according to the number of words.

"It's a review book written by a teacher to a student, and it can be seen that she didn't write it well." Long Xirui continued.

"Impossible!" Pi Shenglao shouted almost angrily, "Xiaoqian, she has just been rated as an excellent teacher by the school, how can she write a review book to her students?" What a joke! ”

"Herein lies the problem." Deng Haoran said, "Mr. Pi, I think the person who can explain everything is your daughter, so it is really necessary for you to let us meet her." ”

"No! Now ......" Pi Shenglao showed a hesitant look on his face, "Not yet." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of glass containers breaking from the inner room. Pi Shenglao immediately rushed over with great nervousness. The moment the door was opened, everyone present was shocked.

Pissi was half-seated on the bed, her face buried in her slender hands, silent tears spilling from between her fingers, and her black hair in her shawl was slightly disheveled. The quilt fell to the ground, bringing into view the mutilated legs on the bed, and the severed ends of the knees were tightly wrapped in white gauze, but the horror was not diminished in the slightest. On the bedside table, shards of transparent glass were scattered all over the floor, and water was flowing around it, as if a cup containing water had just been broken.

"Xiaoqian, don't be afraid, there is a father." Pi Shenglao held his daughter's head in his arms and comforted.

At this time, Hua Cub picked up the quilt and put it on, and "God" and the others began to clean up the broken glass on the ground.

"It should be her phantom limb pain." Long Xirui said.

"That's what the doctor said, and it hurts several times a day." Pi Shenglao said, bitter tears bursting out of his eyes, and it was clear that his heartache was not much lighter than that of his daughter's phantom limb pain.

Deng Haoran couldn't help but cast a jealous look at Long Xirui, which seemed to have a bit of admiration. "Looks like we should call a doctor."

Long Xirui shook his head and said, "It's a psychological illness, if you want to find a doctor, it's best to ask a psychiatrist." ”

"No!" Suddenly, Pissi looked up to her pale, horrible, disfigured face, and said, "Don't go to the doctor. Perhaps, I deserve it. ”
