Liang Chen has not been able to solve a single case these days, and his mood is a little heavy.

In the case of suicide by jumping off a building, he always thought that it was a homicide, but he could not find any basis for filing a case; although he was not in charge of the case of the three corpses of the Linglu Hotel, he had no clue at all when he got the information, and even the identity of the Westerner could not be determined; in the case of Yang Lei's house kidnapping and murder, his old friend Sun Xiuming was stabbed by the murderer, and with the portrait of the murderer, he was never able to catch the murderer, and he could not find even a trace of clues.

Although there are a few unsolvable cases at hand, which is normal for the criminal police, these two and a half cases have the shadow of anti-criminal investigation in them, like a layer of frosted cellophane on the pages of the case file, which cannot be seen through, which is the most annoying.

After decades of working as a criminal policeman, Liang Chen can't even adjust this mentality, he goes to work and the police as usual, and stays in the police station until late before leaving, but these days he smokes harder.

Yang Lei's file was given to Sun Xiuming by him, no matter how you look at it, this is not a serious matter, Sun Xiuming returned the file afterwards, and the leaders of the bureau turned a blind eye to it, and he did not receive any punishment or warning, which was originally a big deal.

This afternoon, as usual, he went for a walk outside the criminal police detachment at three o'clock, and the criminal investigation was brain-free, that was his "brain rest time", Deputy Captain Liang's walk at three o'clock every day was thunderous, and there were many cases that he solved after he came back from going out for a walk.

Holding an umbrella and walking around the wall of the detachment, Liang Chen returned to the office in good spirits, and just as he was about to pour out the cold tea and change it to a cup of hot tea, he saw an extra card the size of a playing card on his table.

There are some words on the card, and the interesting thing is that those words are cut and pasted from different newspapers and magazines, and the font and size are different, but this card is a photocopy, and the words pasted on it cannot be torn off.

Such newspaper clippings occasionally appear in foreign movies, the purpose is to avoid the handwriting being recognized, troublesome, but effective, usually a crime is used to tease the police, predict a crime, or give clues when playing some dangerous game with the police, which rarely appears in Huaxia, Liang Chen didn't expect to receive one.

He sat down, took out a rabbit hair brush and fingerprint powder, brushed the card for a while, didn't find any paper lines, went outside the office and looked around, didn't see anyone, went back again, picked up the card and read it.

"The next time the fire and water merge,

At the feet of the iron giant looking up at the rising sun,

The truth is revealed, and the blood flowers will bloom,

Please come alone to watch the ceremony.

Obsolete does not wait. 』

This is an invitation, a crime notice, because "blood blooms" usually means that there will be bloodshed, the crime notice has long been spoiled by the crime, compared to the letter sent by the zodiac killer to the police, the puzzle on this card is really simple and can be easily solved, and the person who issued this crime notice obviously does not intend to embarrass the police.

Liang Chen began to wonder if this would be a joke.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Lu Yan walked in with a grin, and said, "Team Liang, the information you want ......"

Liang Chen hurriedly put the card in his notebook, but it was a step too late, and Lu Yan had already seen her movements and was stunned in the center of the office.

Young people nowadays can't even knock on the door.

Liang Chen sighed and said, "You can let it go, I'll see it later." ”

Lu Yan put the stack of materials she brought over on the desk, squinted at Liang Chen, and refused to leave for a long time, and the atmosphere in the office became solemn.

"What else?" Liang Chen looked up at the young police officer.

"You said it's good to be curious. Lu Yan said with a smile.

Liang Chen sighed and asked, "When I went for a walk, did anyone enter my office?"

"Didn't pay attention. Lu Yan shook her head, her ponytail swaying behind her head, "No one passes by at the door of my office." ”

Her office is in the outermost part of the corridor, Liang Chen's is in the innermost, and there is no entrance or exit in the back, if someone wants to enter Liang Chen's office, they will definitely pass by her office, and Lu Yan also sent the information over because she saw Liang Chen come back.

"Alright, go ahead, you don't have to worry about this. Liang Chen didn't plan to involve his youngest apprentice in this matter, and it was unclear what that card meant.

"I saw that it was a card, could it be a Valentine's Day card sent to you by your girlfriend?" Lu Yan did not intend to give up, she had a strong curiosity, which is an excellent quality for a criminal policeman.

", you're celebrating Valentine's Day in September?" Liang Chen laughed angrily.

"It's just over Tanabata. Lu Yan smiled flatteringly, still refusing to leave, and finally said, "If you don't let me see it, I may not be able to control myself and come and turn it over secretly." ”

Liang Chen had no choice but to take out the card and throw it on the table as if he didn't care.

"It's enough for secondary two. Lu Yan picked up the card and glanced at it, frowned and said, "When water and fire are blended, it means 24 o'clock on Tuesday (Fire Day) and 0 o'clock on Wednesday (Water Day), right?

"Tower crane at the construction site near the dock. Liang Chen knew that if he didn't say it, she would keep asking, so she had to pinch the bridge of her nose to explain.

"Oh, the rising sun represents the east, and the card is copied, which means that there are other people who get this kind of card, and they are all police. Lu Yan put the card back on the table and asked, "Where are we meeting?"

"This is for me, not for you, and besides, it is written that I am going alone, if you are curious, when I come back and tell you what happened, the Lord is baptized, and you are not allowed to go. Liang Chen said solemnly.

It's a pity that Lu Yan didn't buy it at all: "I will definitely go secretly, the difference is only whether I go secretly with you or I go secretly." ”

Liang Chen looked at her, sighed, and could only compromise: "I plan to go directly from here." ”

"I'll bring supper. Lu Yan smiled and left the office.

............

There were thirty of the same cards, and people from almost every department received them, and there were no signatures on the cards, no logos, not like they were sent by a serial killer looking for a sense of existence, which was why Liang Chen immediately decided to go and see the excitement, he was curious about what would happen there, and who would put the cards in his office - the question was more important than what would happen on the construction site.

It's Friday afternoon, four days before the time written on the card, and the person who receives the card will certainly investigate the card and that construction site during this time, but unfortunately they will find nothing.
