To this day, I still clearly remember what Lao Yan said to me that day: "How is it, are you interested in becoming a police officer in the future?" ”

The police?

This sentence was like a bright light, lighting up my dark heart at that time. At least for a long time, I had the motivation to live because of what Lao Yan said.

Unfortunately, it seems that until now, I have not had much to do with the word "good policeman".

Later, with Lao Yan's help, the final result of the serial murder case was also reported by the police.

Including Liu Dan and my mother, a total of six victims were killed in the whole case, and the murderer was only registered in the name of my father, Gao Tianwen.

Although the result of the case report is simple, the implicit inside story, including my identity, has been suppressed by Lao Yan in his personal name.

He chose to do this for two reasons. First, it is to prevent the case from having another extremely bad impact, and second, it is to protect me. If he hadn't chosen to do this at the time, maybe I wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the police academy.

Of course, I was later expelled from the police academy for all kinds of bad deeds and an impulsive act, but that's all for later.

Even though my father had been shot dead by the police, there were still many questions about the serial murders, such as how my father had no previous surgical experience, so how he caused the flat incision in the deceased's wound.

However, the most puzzling point of this is how many murderers there are.

Combined with the rope tied to the deceased's wrist and the eyewitness testimony given by the library master at the time, the police speculated that the murderer should still have the possibility of a woman.

First, when the first serial murder case occurred, it was already in a commotion in the neighborhood, but even so, in the following month, there were still dead people one after another.

What's more critical is that there are almost no contusions and bruises on each deceased's body, which more or less means that before the murderer uses a rope to control the victimized women, the other party is completely unguarded, if a strange man appears in front of the victim, it is really difficult for people to relax their guard, if the other party is a woman, it can be explained on this point.

Moreover, with my father's big rough hands, it was almost difficult to complete that delicate knot, let alone easily take Liu Dan who was studying from the library at that time.

In addition, that afternoon, time was almost not allowed, after all, he and I had just finished a conversation in the room at that time, and it was unlikely that after the conversation was over, he rushed to the library to take Liu Dan away before me.

With all these things in mind, a horrible nod kept rising from my mind.

That is, there may be more than one murderer, and the most likely accomplice to my father is my mother!

My mother's hands were slender and nimble, and it was natural for her to want to finish that kind of knot. What's more, during the parent-teacher conference, my mother once met Liu Dan, who was a member of the study committee, and if she wanted to take Liu Dan away, it would be easy.

At that time, I told Lao Yan about this analysis, but after listening to it, Lao Yan just told me to stop thinking about the details of the serial murder case.

Now that things have happened, and the past has passed, all I have to do now is to focus on the present life.

To be honest, my parents didn't have any relatives, not even friends. After they and Liu Dan died, for a while, I became a complete orphan, as if I had no connection with the world at all.

Thankfully, I was 17 years old at the time, and I was able to support myself.

With the help of the house they left behind and the money I earned from doing odd jobs at a convenience store late every night, I finally survived high school, got admitted to the police academy as I wished, and then left the place that brought me sadness and pain and started a new life.

After that, I met Ji Yan, Gao Fei, Lin Jie, and the woman who had almost the same experience as me, Tang Yirou, and then walked step by step to today.

Therefore, when Lao Yan finished saying this, heavy memories came to his heart again.

At that time, if it weren't for my curiosity, I broke into the dark room behind the bathroom, maybe Liu Dan wouldn't have been killed by my father, maybe things would have had a completely different ending.

After a long time, Lao Yan took a deep breath of smoke, and then looked at me again, his face full of helplessness and sadness: "Gao Fei, have you thought it through?" If you stop there, I can find someone to get you a civilian job in the police department, and after that, you can live a stable life, and after many years, you can marry a wife and have children, and live like a normal person.

At least, there is no need to live a day like now, where you live every day licking blood on the tip of a knife. ”

Ordinary, stable, worry-free. This is the life that many people yearn for, especially for someone like me who has been close to death several times.

So, when Lao Yan asked me to carefully consider the matter about No. 37 L House, there was a moment when I was really shaken.

However, just like my father, some people are destined to be extraordinary, and my character is not willing to let go of so many puzzles, let Tang Yirou ignore it, and live that life alone.

I have a strong feeling that everything seems to have been predestined since seven years ago. And I am just like a marionette, controlled by others, and can only keep moving forward little by little, and I have no right to refuse and resist at all.

After a while, he took a deep puff of cigarette and said slowly to Lao Yan: "Lao Yan, I understand your kindness." But you should also know that what I decided will never be easily changed, since I accepted the invitation at the beginning, then No. 37 L House, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to break through, if you are lucky enough to come out alive, then, I will invite you to have a drink again. ”

"You kid. Is! Lao Yan listened and shook his head helplessly. The lonely expression is more helpless and calm.

Maybe he already knew what my choice would be, and the reason why he went to great lengths to go to this mountain was more just to seek psychological comfort.

After all, it was he who personally handed over the file of the black gold case to me. That night, he knocked on the door of my house, and perhaps never thought that the case would be like a series of cannons, from the black gold case, to the spontaneous combustion of the human body, to the human body case, murder, etc. It has developed to this day.

After a few more pleasantries, I walked out of the room with Lao Yan.

Outside the house, Lin Jie and Liu Guoqiang cooperated, and the matter in the village had been almost resolved, and Tian Yan and Li Zihang, who had uncomfortable symptoms due to inhaling bath salts, had also been sent to the hospital for treatment.

Although Uncle Tian insisted that when he found the camel, the guy was already dead. But according to the legal process, Uncle Tian will still be taken back to the police station for interrogation, but because of the identity of the camel's drug dealer, it is estimated that the police will not be too difficult for Uncle Tian.

After all, like a camel, a dwarf, a bastard who has endangered countless young people, it is not a pity to die. Even if they hadn't died in the village, those two of them would have gone to hell a long time ago.

Once the matter is settled, we are ready to go out.

Lao Yan said goodbye to us, saying that there were still cases in Huayuan City waiting for him to solve, so he set off first.

At the moment of breaking up, I found that Lao Yan was really old, his slightly lowered eyes no longer had the same light as when I first saw him, his back became more and more rickety, and his legs were shaking slightly when he walked.

Indeed, a person will get old one day, when he is no longer sharp and exhausted, maybe this person is really old.

After dealing with the follow-up incidents, we said goodbye to Liu Guoqiang and prepared to go to S City, where No. 37 L House is located.

Although we took the wrong train at that time, which caused the itinerary to deviate, due to the special geographical location of this mountain village, the wrong entry and exit narrowed the distance to the target location.

Because I was afraid of being targeted by Yu Tianlong's subordinates again, after discussion, Lin Jie and I unanimously decided to give up taking modern transportation from the big city, and we set off from the small county town near this village, all the way to S City, although it will take some more time on the way, but the safety can be guaranteed.

I heard that we were leaving, Ding Qianqian insisted on giving us a ride, and it just so happened that the TV station where he worked was also on the way to S City, and she also had a private frame pick-up, which could save a lot of things.

In this way, we did not refuse her kindness.

After a whole day's journey, we broke up with Ding Qianqian completely.

Because of the economic backwardness and extremely steep terrain in the mountains, the journey after this can be described as a nightmare, forklifts, buses, tractors, and even ox carts. In short, we tried all the means of transportation imaginable.

Sleeping in the open all the way and hurrying slowly, fortunately, I arrived in S City before the deadline on the invitation letter.

The old Western-style building at No. 37 L House is located in S City, and after that, it only takes half a day to reach the final destination.

In more than half a month, seeing such a modern metropolis again, Xiaoxue was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

We immediately decided to find a restaurant first and eat something to comfort our stomach that had been wronged for half a month.

Lin Jie found a mid-range restaurant, and as soon as she sat down and finished ordering, the atmosphere around her instantly became a little wrong.

At the door of the restaurant, several strong men in black with large gold chains suddenly broke in, and their target seemed to be coming for the three of us.
