The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, and every policeman who walked in was unusual, lowering the voice of every word, and even his footsteps were gentle, as if he was afraid of being alarmed.

This is a basement room that the Provincial Public Security Department rarely uses, and the last time this room was opened was during a group combat meeting. The empty room was about the size of a basketball court, and the headlights on the top were all turned on, and it looked very bright.

On a platter table in the middle of the room, a corpse covered with a white cloth was parked.

"Is it really that Zhou team?"

"It is said that it is, but the upper and lower levels are not giving up, so this autopsy is scheduled."

"Well, hopefully I was mistaken...... I saw him at the conference last year, young ......."

"It's only when you're young that you go undercover, the older of us all have families and children, who dares to let go of that hand?"

The whispered discussion was like a river surging in the dark tide, and the quiet on the surface could not hide the unquenchable emotions in the hearts of everyone present. Angry, sad, emotional, unwilling...... They looked at the white body in the middle, as if they saw the other side of themselves, in order to be a policeman, tortured to death, not even half the age of others. There are still too many things that have not had time to live, and the lifeline has been cut off.

When the director walked into the room, many people stood up and hurriedly made way for him to be seated. The director looked at the distance between the seat and the body, shook his head oldly, and slowly retreated to the farthest part of the room and sat down.

When he went out today, he thought that he was going to come to this place to see this corpse identification, and he couldn't help but flicker in front of him, and he held on to the wall before he froze his body. His wife, who is over 50 years old like him, came running up to him and asked him if he wanted to bring an improvised cane. He hesitated for a moment before refusing. For the first time, he realized that he was so old, the old one had lost all the majesty and ambition he once had, and the old one couldn't even protect the young man he had cultivated.

is so old that there is only one prayer left, don't use your gray hair anymore, and say goodbye to the black-haired person.

Chen Zhao, the forensic doctor of the provincial department, expected that the situation would be relatively big before entering the door, so he arranged the autopsy in the room downstairs, but he didn't expect that the number of people who appeared far exceeded his estimate, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, but his attention was all focused on the white cloth in front of him.

So far, there are only two kinds of autopsy work that he is most reluctant to do, the first is to face the remains of children, and the second is to face colleagues.

After inspecting the tools and lifting the cloth, the burned, discolored corpse still made the scene fall silent for a moment.

But what made the air even more tense at the scene was the sudden appearance of a figure at the door.

"That's ...... That female forensic doctor? ”

"Die, is it the forensic doctor of Team Zhou's girlfriend? She's going to make a scene? ”

"It's okay, there are so many people, if only she could stop it."

Chen Zhao was keenly aware of the abnormality, and casually covered the white cloth back on the corpse.

The sound of whispering spread through the crowd, accompanied by suspicion and various complicated eyes, Xun Keran walked into the crowd unhappily. Colleagues silently moved out of the way, allowing her to approach the body with a white cloth in the center.

In the distance, the director slowly stood up with the armrest of the chair, standing up straight, but did not let go of the armrest of the chair, but the tighter he squeezed, as if he needed some strength to maintain his standing posture.

Boom -

There was a sudden muffled thunder from the ventilated windows overhead, as if the depression before the showers came.

Xun Keran walked to the white cloth, dozens of eyes in the room were focused on herself, but she couldn't see any emotion on her face. Until she reached out and wanted to lift the white cloth, but was stopped by Chen Zhao, who was preparing for an autopsy.

"Eh, I'm sorry, I don't know if I can make you ......" Chen Zhao was also very embarrassed, and turned his head to look at the person in charge of the scene, and the person in charge of the scene turned to look at the director in the distance.

The director closed his eyes and nodded.

The corpses under the white cloth were almost identifiable in human form, and the tattered clothes were carefully numbered on the table next to them.

Xun Keran slowly observed all the way up from the footsteps of the body, until he saw near the head, and he had all kinds of guesses about the possible cause of death in his heart.

The scene has been silent, almost everyone is waiting, hoping in their hearts that the female forensic doctor in white in front of her will suddenly scream and shout that this is not Zhou Daxuan or something.

But Xun Keran never spoke, from beginning to end, silent and expressionless.

It wasn't until the last moment that she turned her head, her eyes wandered, her gaze was far away, ignoring the layers of people in the middle, and whispered to the director: "It's him." ”

The director's body shook twice in an instant, as if he had lost the strength to hold the armrest, and he didn't sit still, and while sitting on the ground, he overturned the two chairs next to him, making a loud noise in the empty room. For a while, the colleagues around him were busy helping the director to get up, pouring water, and taking the trembling heart medicine he had groped out to help him take it......

In the chaos, Xun Keran quietly left.

It doesn't make sense to say anything.

――――――――――――――

For several days, the atmosphere in the entire public security bureau was oppressive and frightening.

Zhou Daxuan's autopsy only began at the beginning, because of Xun Keran's words, the old director had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital to recuperate.

Although there is no official statement, everyone from top to bottom already knows about Zhou Daxuan.

Xu Wanli took leave for the 5th day in a row, and no one said anything.

The first team of criminal police led by Zhou Daxuan was almost in a state of semi-shutdown, and Bai Ling and Xue Yang appeared in the office every day, but they were in a daze longer than handling the case.

Everything fell into a slow and helpless atmosphere of sadness.

Except for Xun Keran.

She went to work on time, dealt with all kinds of follow-up documents of Zhong Dijin's case with an expressionless face, and the court materials required for Zhang Pei's rape case, got off work on time, didn't talk to anyone, and waited for all the dining occasions to wait for the cafeteria to be late, and only a few people left. Her quiet appearance made people whisper, and some asserted that she was just finishing up the work at hand and would definitely resign when she was done; Some people also categorically say that such family members who hold back and don't say a word are the most difficult to deal with, and they may not be able to think about it one day; There are also people who sigh with emotion, forensic medicine is different from us, seeing too many corpses, and their feelings are numb.

The only thing that can make the world feel that Xun Keran is not ruthless is that she insists on not recognizing the report on Zhou Daxuan's corpse issued by the provincial department, and she put forward two points in her objections, the first is because the body has been burned, and many of the injuries need to be further tested and judged whether they are injured before or after death, and the second is that even if the characterization and DNA of the corpse are consistent with Zhou Daxuan, there is a small probability that it is not Zhou Daxuan.

At this point, everyone understands that what Xun Keran hides under his calm surface is a heart that refuses to admit that the Si people are gone.

Those who have the same attitude as her are Zhou Daxuan's parents. The donation quietly organized by the bureau far exceeded five figures in one day, but Zhou Daxuan's parents categorically refused, as if they did not come to claim the body at all: We firmly believe that my son is not dead!

If the report of the provincial department is not finalized, many follow-up procedures will not be handled. When the above wanted to turn the page of this matter as soon as possible, he was stuck in the director who was recuperating in the hospital, and as soon as he called, the director's heartbeat monitoring instrument sounded the alarm, and in the end, the provincial department had no choice, and sighed and could only silently accompany them for a day.

The corpses are there, and the people have been burned like that, is there anyone else who can turn the sky up with one hand?

On Wednesday, the first and second teams of the criminal police held a joint briefing.

The meeting is rarely formal, arranged in the main conference room that is almost not used unless the New Year is celebrated, and when the criminal police enter the door, they see a seat for one person, and a glass of water is poured in front of the position, and they are somewhat stunned.

The meeting that Captain Zheng Longhao, the captain of the second team, was in charge of, in fact, because no one wanted to take over this mess at this moment. Da Xuan left, the group of dragons was leaderless, and the morale of the first team of the criminal police was now sluggish, and anyone who tried to replace Zhou Da Xuan's position to command them at this time would only bottom out and rebound into cannon fodder.

"I know you're sad right now, but I also know that if you guys were standing here today, you'd say the same thing as me. As a police officer, no matter what happens, you should not forget your job. Zheng Longhao's words on the stage were extraordinarily gentle, causing the people in the first team of the criminal police below to roll their eyes, but it was not easy to have a seizure.

Xue Yang glanced at the vacant position, Xiao Xu still didn't come to work today, and didn't see her on the sixth day, Xue Yang fixed her phone every day, but she didn't answer, just simply replied to some text messages.

The meeting continued as planned, but most of the so-called plans will change.

Zheng Longhao was halfway through the arrangement, and the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. When Wang Tao and Su Xiaozhe came in, they shook off a bunch of physical evidence bags, and before everyone could react, they reached out and picked up the drinking cups in front of each policeman, poured out the remaining water, and put them into separate physical evidence bags one by one.

"Wait, what's going on?" Captain Zheng Longhao, who was standing in front of the stage, was the first person to be confiscated and the host of this meeting, so he was naturally the first to react and asked.

Xun Keran's figure slowly appeared at the door, "That's what you see." We have been approved to collect fingerprints from every police officer in the bureau. ”

"Why!?" Watching the cups being put into the evidence bag, Zheng Longhao frowned deeply.

Xun Keran looked coldly at Wang Tao, who moved quickly and accurately in front of him, completely ignoring this question.

Under Zheng Longhao's silent eyes, several police officers of the second team stood up and blocked in front of Su Xiaozhe.

"Forensic Doctor, I support any of your actions for a reasonable reason, but I need to know this reason." Zheng Longhao said.

Xun Keran's eyes flickered, and he slanted his eyebrows to look at him, "The explosives that burned the Physical Evidence Department came from the inside, what do you think of this reason, Captain Zheng?" ”

Zheng Longhao was stunned, in fact, most of the people in the conference room were stunned for a moment, and the eye transmission and whispering spread in the conference room. Wang Tao took the opportunity to confiscate two more cups, and when Xiaozhe saw this, he also took advantage of the fact that others were stunned to reach out to the cups that had been drunk on the table.

"Wait!" When Wang Tao walked up to a criminal policeman with curly hair, he pressed Wang Tao's outstretched hand. "You said that the physical evidence is counted on your own head, what evidence do you have?"

"We have fingerprints from what is necessary." Xun Keran slowly approached the curly-haired criminal police, she remembered that this person belonged to the second criminal police team. "Fingerprinting isn't just for the two of you, I wonder what this one is worried about?"

The curls are also straightforward, "I'm worried that our fingerprints are being used for other purposes. ”

"For example? Are you worried that I will find a suspect with your fingerprint in the unsolved case? Xun Keran's words sounded like a joke, but few people had the heart to laugh at the moment.

"If no one is worried about being found to be a fugitive, please cooperate." Xun Keran, who was standing in the middle of the conference room, looked around at the people around, "After all, we are also under a lot of pressure to find the ...... that matches the fingerprint before the next corpse"

"Where are the corpses?" Another person from the second team jumped out, "We all know that the physical evidence department was burned, but no one died in this matter?" ”

"Did I say he died in the Evidence Division?"

"So what do you say? There's no one in our bureau lately, and there's been ......" Curly's words came to an abrupt halt halfway through, but everyone had already thought of it.

Zhou Daxuan.

Da Xuan died during a secret mission, and the Physical Evidence Department was thrown incendiary explosives for unknown reasons, and if there is an inner ghost in the bureau, the two things can be easily linked. This also explains why this female forensic doctor who lost her boyfriend is still working at the moment, because she is looking for the inner ghost who killed her boyfriend.

It turns out that only a few people have had similar conjectures, and now almost everyone knows it. They let go of their hands and let Xiaozhe take the cup away.

But Curly still didn't let go of Wang Tao's hand, "Even if I understand...... But it's not about privacy! We're all doing this, why don't we understand how dangerous it is?! ”

Before Curly Hair's words were finished, Xue Yang and Bai Ling stood up, one held down Curly Hair, and the other snatched the cup and handed it to Wang Tao, the movements were so fast and neat that the people on the spot didn't have time to react.

"What do you mean!" Curly was furious and stood up against Xue Yang.

The people of the first team all stood up straight, and the second team was not to be outdone, staring at each other, and the momentum suddenly became tense.

Bai Ling and Xue Yang's bear-like figures are not used to see, the criminal police team they led suppressed their anger under the decadent momentum, and there was nowhere to vent, and the associations caused by this surprise inspection at this time accurately touched their anger point against the "inner ghost killed the Zhou team".

"If anyone has an opinion, they can go down and talk to Team Zhou by themselves!" Bai Ling changed her hippie smile from the past, and arrogantly raised her head and squinted at the people of the second team.

All the people in the first team stood up and escorted Wang Tao and Xiaozhe to collect everyone's fingerprints. and grandly followed the forensic examiner out of the conference room, escorting them back to the laboratory almost step by step.

The sun is tilting, and the clock is turning from two o'clock in the afternoon to the waning night.

The information spread like the wind through people's whispers throughout the public security building.

Forensic and physical evidence there is fingerprint evidence that found the mole!

What's even more bizarre is that the fingerprints collected by Xun Keran with physical evidence are limited to the four teams of the criminal police team, and the others have not seen this scene, as if they have long had a range of judgments about who the mole is.

In the basement, which served as a temporary forensic section, the whole equipment was constantly turning, and there were so many things to compare and analyze that it couldn't stop.

Wang Tao was startled when he went out to go to the toilet, there were only a few square meters of space at the door of the basement There were seven or eight policemen standing, all of whom were from different departments in the building, and the smell of smoke had dulled the dark white light bulbs above their heads into a dark yellow, but they stood silently.

"What are you doing?" Wang Tao was a little confused, these people belong to different departments and different functions, but they are piled up here, is it ......

Wang Aiguo looked at it, no one was going to speak, but he couldn't help it, "We have nothing to do, it's just ...... Help watch here, and you don't have to worry about anyone going in and getting in the way. ”

Wang Tao was stunned, and it took a few seconds to ease his senses and understand their intentions, "Thank you...... But, don't do it, we got it, there's a surveillance screen above this head, it's okay. ”

"Mr. Wang," I don't know who followed, "don't forget why the Physical Evidence Department moved here." ”

Forensic Evidence Division...... A picture of the mess after the fire flashed in his mind, and Wang Tao's eyes tightened. How bold that guy is, the fact that the Forensics Section was burned to that is the best example of this. Wang Tao went to the toilet in silence, and found that there were still people who followed him silently, staring at him until he continued back to the basement.

The moment Wang Tao opened the basement door, several people looked around and saw Xun Keran standing next to the instrument, and secretly relieved their hearts.

In this silent building, the few people guarding the inspection equipment are not the only ones who care about all this.

It's the middle of the night.

The guards at the door consciously handed over shifts with their colleagues one after another, and although they were no longer the same as in the afternoon, the number of people standing at the door did not decrease.

The dew is white.

When the birdsong gradually started, the door of the laboratory was suddenly opened, and Wang Tao held a sleeping chicken coop head, and his eyes widened to scan the brothers in front of him who had been on guard all night and were full of dark circles.

"Who saw Xun Keran!?"

Everyone in the fog woke up.

Xun Keran disappeared in the basement with a certain inspection report in the basement where many people guarded the door.
