Two days later, the detective team office.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a knock on the door.

Guo Wen said casually: "Please come in!" ”

It was Xiao Liu who came in, and when he saw him walking up to Shen Panzhe with a list, he handed the list to him, and said, "Xiao Zhe, Feng Ju asked me to hand it over to you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Shen Panzhe was polite.

"It's fine."

After speaking, Xiao Liu turned around and left.

Li Anxing came over curiously to take a look, looked at the list and said to herself, "File reading application form." ”

"File Access Request Form?"

Guo Wen was puzzled, "Xiao Zhe, why do you want to read the archives, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to learn how you usually investigate cases, absorb some essence, and by the way, take a look at the cases that have not been solved in the past, which ones are the murderers who have not been arrested, in case I meet them on the road, then I won't pick up a big bargain." Shen Panzhe replied with a smile.

Guo Wen nodded, smiled bitterly, didn't have much, and continued to sort out the information.

Chen Lin seemed to be a little tired, leaning back on the chair, his head up, his eyes closed, and he looked half-asleep.

After lunch, Shen Panzhe walked to the door of the archives, and the person who managed the archives was an old criminal policeman named Zhang Wanxing, who was sitting in an office chair at this time, looking at Keigo Higashino's novel Worry-Free Grocery Store, leisurely.

"Hello senior, I want to read the file, this is my application form." Shen Panzhe said politely.

Seeing the old criminal policeman pushing his reading glasses up, when he saw Shen Panzhe's face clearly, he smiled and said kindly, "It turned out to be Xiao Zhe." ”

"Senior knows me?" Shen Panzhe smiled.

"I know, I watched you on TV, you have the strongest brain, when you challenged to read a book, others read one line, you read ten lines, and you can write them all down, you are amazing." The old detective praised.

His smile made Shen Panzhe feel very kind.

"Thank you seniors for the compliment, your memory is really good, it's been a long time since the show, I didn't expect you to remember." Shen Panzhe said politely.

Seeing that the old criminal policeman waved his hand and said, "Aren't you going to read the files, go quickly, but you can't take them out, you can only look here." ”

"Understood, thank you seniors."

After speaking, Shen Panzhe walked inside.

The archives are like a library, with various cases arranged neatly by type, time, region, etc., on each row of shelves, and there are tables and chairs in the room.

Archives are generally divided into two categories: broken and unbroken.

The solved cases are on the right, the unsolved cases are on the left, Shen Panzhe looked left and right, his gaze swept over the shelf, and the time marked on it was reflected in his eyes one by one.

2025—2024—2023—2022……

Shen Panzhe's expression was solemn, his eyes revealed a murderous aura, seeing him walking with heavy steps, he kept walking in, and the air around him was quiet and terrifying.

The further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes.

Shen Panzhe's purpose in applying to access the archives is, of course, not as he said, to simply learn and learn from the experience of solving cases, or to casually read the information of murderers who have not been arrested.

These were just excuses for him to cover up, and his real purpose was to find out about the murder of his mother and see what information could be obtained from it.

After a moment, Shen Panzhe stopped, turned to the right, and stared at the year 2005 above with deep eyes.

Twenty years have passed, and the tragic scene of his mother's murder 20 years ago seems to be just yesterday, and it is still vivid in his mind.

He never forgot and did not dare to forget!

At this moment, Shen Panzhe's heart is surging, and whether the murderer has been arrested or not will soon be known.

His gaze was unobstructed from the shelf, and finally locked on the shelf in March, because it was the month of his mother's murder, and it was marked with five districts, namely: Huaide District, Guangji District, Yunshao District, Haiwang District, and Meixiu District, which are the five major districts of Huaxia City.

Although their sub-bureau manages Huaide District, once there is a crime in other areas, the five major sub-bureaus of Huaxia City will leave a case record, in order to prevent accidents, or have other purposes.

Shen Panzhe opened the file of Meixiu District, they still lived in Meixiu District twenty years ago, since his mother died, Shen Pankun didn't want him to think of sad things and stimulate him, so he moved to Huaide District.

Shen Panzhe went back to Meixiu District, but the place where he lived was deserted, and his father didn't sell it, probably because of his son, or because he still had a love for it, so he didn't care about it.

Shen Panzhe originally wanted to be a criminal policeman in the Meixiu District Bureau, but in order not to make his father suspicious, and the family was close, he didn't go.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't have much impact.

Two minutes later, Shen Panzhe looked depressed and flipped through it twice, but still couldn't find his mother's case.

However, he had already guessed that this was the result, at that time, the clues were slim, the technology was not good, and even Shen Pankun could not catch the murderer, let alone others.

But Shen Panzhe still has a glimmer of hope that his mother's killer has been brought to justice.

"Since I haven't been able to catch the murderer, let me come myself." Shen Panzhe muttered to himself, his eyes sharp.

Then, he turned and walked to the other side, where there was a case that had been left unsolved.

After a while, I saw that his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he kept reading back and forth, over and over again, over and over again, and muttered to himself, "What's the matter, this can't be!" ”

After flipping through it a few times, Shen Panzhe still didn't find the case back then, and saw that he hurriedly returned to the location where the case had been solved and re-read it.

But no matter how many times, there is no case after all.

"This can't be, it's impossible, why can't you find the murder back then?!"

Shen Panzhe's face was full of impatience, and when he saw that he was still flipping through the pages, his eyes were full of surprise and tears.

Half an hour later, Shen Panzhe sat helplessly on the ground, with his back against the bookshelf, and the floor without sunlight was as cold as ice.

But this could not withstand the despair in his heart.

"Am I mistaken, Mom, did you really die of cancer?" Shen Panzhe began to question himself, and then saw him roll up the sleeve of his left hand to his arm.

Looking at the scar left twenty years ago, his eyes suddenly became very firm, the scar was carved by himself with a knife back then, it was a "three" character, indicating that his mother died in March and was killed by him, so as to remind himself at all times not to forget the oath he once made!

"No, I'm not mistaken!"

Shen Panzhe immediately stood up, then restrained his sad and desperate expressions, calmed down his impatience and uneasiness, and then walked quickly to the old criminal policeman.

"Excuse me, can I use a computer to read, it's faster."

Shen Panzhe asked respectfully, smiling.

"It's just you kid." The old detective glanced at him, he was looking at the novel and was in a trance, but he was suddenly interrupted by him, which ruined the atmosphere, and he was inevitably a little stingy in his heart.

But in the blink of an eye, the old detective showed a kind smile and said, "Okay, you wait." ”

As he spoke, he got up slowly, turned on the computer on the table, unlocked his fingerprint, and sat back in his chair to continue reading the novel.

"Xiaozhe, remember to turn off the phone after reading it." The old detective admonished.

"Yes, thank you seniors."
