Office of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Two people have died in a row, everyone's nerves are straightened, and they are ready to sleep endlessly. Jin Mo stood in the corridor, holding a cigarette between his fingers and holding his mobile phone, and after chatting with the other party for a few words, he asked: "Prison Director Fan, I want you to help check someone, Tang Ping, who was sentenced to prison for intentional homicide." ”

After receiving the reply, Jin Mo hung up the phone, took the last puff of his cigarette, pushed the door and entered the office, "Let's briefly summarize the results of today's investigation." ”

Chen Tian was the first to speak: "Chen Gui's interpersonal relationship is more complicated, I asked the informant, it is said that Chen Gui makes some money by collecting debts for others, being a bodyguard and transporting goods. He is also a righteous man, so there is no possibility of being killed because of a grudge with others. He took out two pieces of paper, glanced at them, and continued: "Although Chen Lihong is Chen Gui's mistress, she has other men outside, and on the night of the crime, someone saw her going out to eat with that man. ”

He handed the two pieces of paper to Jin Mo, "Meng Bodong, 52 years old this year, divorced, he is one of the shareholders of Cadilla KTV, he is merry by nature, he has a heart for Chen Lihong, and from time to time he shows favor to her, one loves vanity, the other covets her beauty, the two hit it off, and in the past half a month, they often got together behind Chen Gui's back. ”

Sitting on the desk, Jin Mo carefully looked through the relevant information and asked, "Have you verified Meng Bodong's alibi?" ”

"I asked, nothing suspicious."

Jin Mo sighed, put his hand on his lap, and turned his gaze to Shen Yijie.

"Chen Jiehui's situation is relatively simple, five years ago, he divorced by agreement, he gave his house, children, savings and car to his wife, and left the house, but the reason for the divorce is unknown." Shen Yijie opened the file bag and said: "Also five years ago, he resigned from his job in a foreign company and worked as a porter in a supermarket. ”

"Because I'm single, there's no love killing." He added.

"Have you checked the reasons why he gave up his family and career five years ago?" Xiao Nan saw that everyone was looking at him, and coughed dryly, "I wrote everything I did and the people I met last night." ”

Taking the paper, Jin Mo winked, motioned for her to go back to her office first, and asked, "Did the technical department find anything on the spot?" ”

"In addition to the victim's fingerprints, hair, and dander, we found no relevant traces belonging to the second person at the scene." A police officer said: "However, according to Dr. Xiao's reminder, when I returned to the scene to investigate, I found that there were trace traces of blood in the protruding position of the cement particles on the ground, and a straight line was formed between the blood stains. ”

"The bloodstains and the wound on the victim's heel are enough to determine that he was dragged by someone." Zhang Bin said.

"Why didn't I find it during the first site visit?"

The police officer was a little embarrassed by Jin Mo's look, scratched his head, and just wanted to explain. Who knew that Jin Mo said in a sullen voice: "Yijie, you continue to line up with Chen Jiehui, focusing on what happened five years ago; Tian'er, you transfer the information in your hand to Xiaofeng, I have another task for you. ”

Jin Mo glanced at his watch, "Get off work early today, recharge your energy, and continue to struggle tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" Everyone was relieved and said in unison.

"You have worked hard to check the place where Dr. Xiao went last night, and it is best to find a certificate of her alibi, and eliminate suspicion as soon as possible, so as not to gossip." Jin Mo handed the paper to Chen Tian.

The two stood next to the door of the small office, Jin Mo took out his mobile phone and clicked on the photo album: "His name is Tang Ping, he is the murderer of the case back then, because he behaved well in it, he has been released from prison ahead of schedule, I suspect that he is related to those two cases, you can also investigate." ”

"Understood."

Pushing the door in, Jin Mo saw Xiao Nan sitting in front of the computer, his white cheeks reflecting the light of the screen, his expression was very focused, and his fingers kept sliding the mouse, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Did he release it early?" Xiao Nan raised his head and looked towards the door.

Jin Mo didn't deny it, nor did he admit it, sitting on the sofa, he pillowed his hands behind his head, leaned back, and asked in a muffled voice: "Is Chen Jiehui also one of the murderers?" ”

"No, it's not." Xiao Nan sat up straight and denied: "At the scene of the crime today, I also saw him once. ”

The two looked at each other, she frowned slightly, and said softly, "Why did he become an eyewitness to the case?" ”

"If the murderer is Tang Ping, revenge killing, then there are two other people next?" Jin Mo raised his legs and put them on the coffee table, looking up at the ceiling.

Xiao Nan looked at him, and suddenly, fell into silence.

……

It was getting darker and darker, and at 8:40 a.m., the entire office area was silent.

'Dong Dong ......' Chen Tian broke in, holding his mobile phone, his eyes wandering over Jin and Xiao, "I checked the surveillance along the seaside square and found that someone was following Dr. Xiao. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Nan walked to the coffee table and looked at the video on her mobile phone, because it was dark, she could only judge from her clothes, "Is it him?" ”

"You know?"

Xiao Nan shook her head, put her hands on her knees, and recalled the scene at that time: in the square, the music sounded, and the fancy jets of the fountain caused bursts of cheers.

Turning around, a man, Xiao Nan looked at him, his skin was dark, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were very deep, a pair of gold-wire round glasses on the bridge of his nose, a mustache, he was wearing a baseball cap and a sweatshirt, Xiao Nan saw that he was also looking at himself, and asked, "Old man, is there something wrong?" ”

"Excuse me, I recognized the wrong person?" He put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "You look like an old man of mine!" He nodded to Xiao Nan and turned to leave.

Thinking of his eyes, Xiao Nan always felt weird, old man? But there was no joy in his eyes to see the old man again, nor did he recognize the momentary loss of the wrong person. He? Why do you want to follow herself, Xiao Nan couldn't understand it, she always felt that she had seen that face, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she and Jin Mo were left in the office.

"What do you think of two cases?"

Picking up Chen Lihong's photo, Xiao Nan went through the whole scene in his mind, closed his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "The night was dark, it was raining, he was wearing a raincoat, and walked along the stairs to the door of Chen's house, he didn't choose to pick the lock, but knocked on the door, according to the location of the corpse, it should be the door opened by Chen Gui, he showed a surprised expression when he saw the person who came, and before he could react, he had been killed, and Chen Lihong came out later." ”

"After killing two people in a row, he was a little flustered, standing in the middle of the living room, at a loss." Xiao Nan opened his eyes, "That's why there was that irregular dripping bloodstain, he should have been thinking about how to lay it out at that time." ”

She looked at him, frowned, and continued: "In the first case, I tried to draw a mental profile, but after writing the basic characteristics of gender and age, my mind went blank. ”

In front of the whiteboard, Jin Mo turned the ring and looked at the scene of the second murder, "If I say that the two murders are compared, and the second case, he seems more calm and calm, and it seems that some of his psychology is growing, do you agree?" ”

"Agreed, and this kind of psychological growth was not formed in an instant, he gave me the feeling that it was a qualitative leap." Xiao Nan picked up the pen and wrote on A4 paper: 1. Male, aged about 40 years old.

1. Height above 173.

3. Introverted, withdrawn, no friends, not good at communicating.

4. Left-handed.

5. When the second homicide was investigated, he was at the scene!

Seeing the last one, Jin Mo looked at Xiao Nan suspiciously, "Why did he return to the scene?" ”

"Look at the jokes, watch the hilarity." Xiao Nan explained: "The second murder was in an urban village, and in addition to the complex environment nearby, the monitoring was a gap, and he turned back to the scene purely to satisfy his competitive spirit. ”

While speaking, Xiao Nan's mobile phone vibrate, it was Bai Chong, and he clicked on the dialog box: Nan, are you off work? Interested in having a late-night snack together? I'm in 'Time Code'.

"Mr. Bai asked me to have supper, do you want to come along?"

"Yes!"

Thinking of Jin Mo's jealous appearance, the corners of Xiao Nan's mouth didn't seem to float slightly, and replied: Well, I'm still in the bureau, and I'll be there in half an hour.

Before this sentence was sent, she saw Bai Chong send another one: If Jin Gongzi doesn't mind, you can go together, I prepared fried buns and small wontons for them.

The temptation of the two delicacies was hard to resist, and she immediately ordered to send. Who knew that Jin Mo suddenly burst out with a sentence: "It just so happens that I also want to ask him!" ”

"You're here again?!"

"Doctor Xiao, I'm also doing this for his good, if the matter is clear, he can get rid of suspicion sooner, right?" Jin Mo put the information into the file bag, locked it in the drawer, took Xiao Nan's hand with a smile, pressed the power switch, and said while locking the door: "Don't look at me like this, public is public, private is private, one yard is one yard, I have a sense of proportion." ”

Nested in the passenger seat, Xiao Nan looked at the flashing lights on the side of the street, absent-mindedly, and in a trance, she heard Jin Mo calling some leader in the court, as if he was talking about looking at the old files.

She tapped the car window with her fingertips, "I have always wondered how there were obviously four people who committed the crime back then, but in the end, only Tang Ping was convicted, and now I think about it, someone betrayed him." She looked at Jin Mo and wondered: "However, he has only been released from prison for a month, how do he know the truth of the year, how do you know who betrayed him?" ”

"Maybe there's a master behind it!"

Listening to his yin and yang strange words, Xiao Nan did not squeak, and continued to look outside, drawing back and forth on the glass with his fingertips.

Time Code.

The three of them sat around the round table, and after the waiters set the dishes and wine glasses, the food was served one after another.

"At half past nine in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will wait for you downstairs in the dormitory." Bai Zhong pushed a stack of fried buns in front of Xiao Nan, "Flowers and fruits, you choose the same." ”

Xiao Nan sighed, held the chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "I'll buy fruit!" ”

The two of you seemed to ignore Jin Mo's existence, only to see him holding a wine glass, coughing dryly, and asking, "Mr. Bai, there is something I want to confirm with you." ”

"Please." Bai Zhong looked at Jin Mo and smiled.

Xiao Nan knew what he wanted to ask, his expression became solemn, he put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and his eyes wandered between the two men.

"Last night, from ten to one o'clock in the morning, where were you?" Jin Mo asked bluntly.

After taking a sip of red wine, Bai Zhong stared at Jin Mo, his long legs were folded, his body leaned against the armrest, his brows frowned slightly, and said, "Jin Gongzi, how can I have a feeling of being interrogated?" ”

"It's about the old case, it's a routine matter, Mr. Bai, please answer truthfully."

Xiao Nan saw Bai Zhong looking at herself, with inquiry in her eyes, and she smiled helplessly.

"Old cases?" Shaking the red wine glass, Bai Zhong seemed to understand, and said in a muffled voice: "I had a video conference with foreign business partners from half past nine last night, because of the time difference, we didn't know until more than 12 o'clock, and I really couldn't tell the specific time." Otherwise, I'll ask the secretary to send you a specific schedule tomorrow. ”

"I'm tired."

The aura of embarrassment surrounded the three of them, each with their own concerns, no one was speaking, Xiao Nan looked at Bai Zhong with his spare eyes, only to see him holding the wine glass, his eyes turned to the window, French Sycamore, he must be thinking about his sister again, seeing him holding the wine glass, Xiao Nan blurted out: "Drink less......"

She saw the two men looking at each other, and saw that they were both holding wine glasses, and the three of them looked at each other, and the corners of Xiao Nan's mouth were slightly hooked.

Suddenly, there was a voice from behind: "So you're really here." ”
