After many years, Dong Rui recalled that that midsummer night was actually the last time several people got together.

On the afternoon of the sixth day after Chen Jing's death, a thunderstorm fell in Dongguan. The tree was momentarily speechless. The raindrops poured down like beads, smashing on the car with a heavy sound, and pedestrians all raised their briefcases, plastic bags, and books in their hands, and ran back and forth. The rain fell on the dusty ground, stirring up mud and staining the shoes and socks of pedestrians.

Sun Lei, Dong Rui, and the political commissar looked at Chu Li, who had a stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes.

"Is there a clue?" The deep voice was cold, hiding a murderous fury.

"The car has been found, and it is being wanted, and I hope it will be arrested as soon as possible."

"Where did you find the car?"

"A residential area in Zhangmutou. We collected their DNA and determined their identity. It is consistent with the information brought by Dong Rui. “

"Commissar, you've worked hard." Chu Li's face looked better, "When are you going back to Wuhan?" “

"I'll stay a few more days."

"Shi Niang is home alone, and no one takes care of her."

"You kid, you're still worried about me. Your master is proficient in everything, but I am redundant and disgusted at home. The commissar smiled and said, "You hurry back to work." ”

"Well, I'll go back to work tomorrow." Chu Li curled up in Sun Lei's room for two days, and didn't let Xiao Ye cook, and ate something in the stall every day. When Sun Lei came back, he was always sleeping. He knew in his heart that he was putting pressure on himself. I don't dare to ask too much. Tomorrow is Monday, so I came over with political commissar Dong Rui to prepare a meal, and persuaded Chu Li by the way.

"Chen Si, are you okay?" Dong Rui asked suddenly.

"Not so good." Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Is his father still in Dongguan?"

Sun Lei and Dong Rui nodded, Dong Rui looked at the floor and probed the cracks in the tiles with his toes, "He won't return to Yichang until he is cremated." “

Sun Lei got closer and looked for Chu Li's trance-like eyes. whispered with uncommon concern: "Brother Li, I'm thinking, why don't you let your uncle go back first, and you and her sister will send the ashes back after cremation?" ”

Chu Li understood what he meant, it was very inappropriate for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Often, it is the siblings who get things done, and the parents do not get involved, so as not to be too sad and irritated. But he didn't have the confidence to persuade Chen Yusen to go back first, he had told himself to take care of Chen Si, and now although Chen Jing had an accident, it can't be said that he is not responsible. He stood up and patted Sun Lei on the shoulder. He said softly, "Hurry up and get the people there." “

Sun Lei doesn't like others to force him, but right now he empathizes with him and understands his eagerness. "Brother Li, you still need to say this! I know, I know. “

Dong Rui and Sun Lei used their lifelong studies to only make three dishes and one soup. Although they are not picky people, they really can't take it with such a look, a tomato scrambled egg egg is burnt, and the tomato is too badly cooked. A green pepper shredded pork is decent, and it is finally cooked. A bream sticks to the pot, and there is no whole body when it comes out of the pot. Only the pork rib soup can't see obvious flaws, but unfortunately Dong Rui doesn't know why he put some soy sauce in it. The political commissar looked at the table and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you two should get married soon." “

"Commissar, do you want to have a drink?" Sun Lei took out a can of beer.

"I don't drink anymore. Drink it, three of you. “

"Then where is Wu Guoshengguan?" Chu Li waved his hand and refused the cold beer handed over.

Ben's slightly relaxed atmosphere immediately became tense again.

"In the detention center." Sun Lei replied a little angrily. He hadn't had a good rest for a few days, and he really didn't want to talk about the case anymore.

"Where?"

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just ask."

"Brother Li, let's leave the matter of this case to us. I know you're in a hurry. “

Chu Li nodded. But he didn't give up, "Did you find Zhu Qiao?" “

A nameless fire surged in Sun Lei's heart, and he just wanted to turn back. Dong Rui touched his arm gently. Then he replied for himself: "Not yet, this kid must be afraid of going to jail." As soon as he heard about the accident, he never showed up again. We contacted the police station in his hometown and found that he had not returned home either, nor had he contacted his family. ”

Sun Lei ignored Dong Rui, sat down and began to eat. Chu Li helped the political commissar serve a bowl of rice and helped him get a pair of chopsticks. sat next to Sun Lei. "Leizi, I remember something."

He didn't notice that Sun Lei was a little impatient, and then said: "I carefully brushed it, from the time Chen Jing left the company to the first time I saw Iveco, it was only ten minutes in between, which proves that I haven't met her yet." When the car turned into Shangsha Road, there was no surveillance. When I came out of Shangsha Road, I was caught by the surveillance again. But the road took fifteen minutes. That way ......"

"Well, I know that the road is only a little over three kilometers in total, and it won't take fifteen minutes!" Sun Lei interrupted him rudely, "You think that only you know how to investigate cases." I said, why do you have to care? I know you're anxious, but I advise you not to interfere. Brother, I only said that when you were your brother, I just don't like you to think of yourself as Sherlock Holmes. A pair of materials that only you can see flaws, everyone else is an amateur, all rookies, are you a natural detective? ”

Sun Lei slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap". scolded Dong Rui: "Did you show him the file?" Do you not understand police discipline? ”

Dong Rui was shocked and a little guilty at the same time. First, he couldn't figure out why Sun Lei was so angry, and secondly, he felt that he shouldn't secretly show the information to Chu Li.

Dong Rui nodded: "Yes, I showed it to Brother Li." Alas, don't I just think he's a family member? ”

The commissar didn't say a word and looked at the three of them.

Chu Li was not angry at all. He raised his head and looked at Sun Lei: "Leizi, don't be angry. Was that road the place where Chen Jing was taken away? “

"Yes, yes. But what can be proved? “

"Prove she's looking for me." Chu Li lowered his head, "Didn't I live on the sand road?" ”

Everyone was amazed. "What are you looking for?"

"She was searched, she was bullied, maybe her first reaction was to look for me."

"Didn't you go on a business trip?"

"She didn't know. I didn't tell her. ”

"Doesn't her sister know?"

"I didn't tell her about my sister and me. That's why her sister doesn't talk to me much in front of her. ”

"On the sand road, there should be a lot of your colleagues, and they don't necessarily look for you." Sun Lei said this, I don't know if he forgot the text message that Chu Li said in the transcript, or deliberately relieved him.

"Leizi, when I watched the video of the embankment, I always felt a little strange."

"Here we go again, Sherlock Holmes possessed."

"I'll put it again, you see." Dong Rui took out his mobile phone, "Come on." “

Everyone gathered together to look at Dong Rui's small screen. "Come, Mr. Holmes, please instruct!"

"When these two people moved Chen Jing down, did you notice that the car moved?"

"Is it that the signal is not good, the picture is a little distorted, your illusion?" Dong Rui stared at the screen.

The picture did shake a bit. It was only natural that everyone was focused on the two men who were carrying the bodies, and the car moved a little slightly.

"Could it be that the handbrake is not tightened?" Dong Rui said to himself.

"Chu Li is right, now it seems that it cannot be ruled out that there is a third person in the car." The commissar narrowed his eyes and said. "Looks like we're all too careless."

Sun Lei didn't say a word.

"I've always felt a little weird, Chen Jing is so beautiful, but she is not so thin as to be sexually assaulted. And the previous victims have all of them, which doesn't make sense. And throwing the corpse is also very hurried and panicked, and you can't even wait to find a remote place? Unless ......"

"Go on!"

"Unless someone in the car knows Chen Jing, for some special reason, he did not sexually assault the victim, or rather, stopped the other two accomplices from assaulting the victim."

"It's such a coincidence." Dong Rui interjected and said, "Since it was a random crime, it happened so coincidentally?" “

There was a loud "boom" in the distance outside the window, and then soon the sound of raindrops hitting the roof could be heard. It was dark at seven o'clock, and the clouds were full of rain, making people breathless. Chu Li's inference was Sun Lei's bold speculation. But he didn't think so carefully as Chu Li. He didn't have the slightest joy that a hero had seen now, but he was incredibly surprised that Chu Li was calm and meticulous in analyzing the case during such a heavy and painful period. He came to think that perhaps he was a hard-hearted example of always being objective and indifferent.

"Makes sense." Sun Lei nodded, "There are still many doubts. If you can get those two people back, you can basically ask them clearly. ”

"Do you know her social circle? Wouldn't it be difficult to find out who she was familiar with? The political commissar touched the white stubble on his chin and stared at Chu Li with both eyes. And the person who is so flustered must be someone who is very familiar, and it is certainly not a nodding friend. ”

"Political commissar, to be honest, most of the living circles of these migrant female workers in Dongguan are very simple and pure, and it is not difficult to investigate. Chen Jing has had two boyfriends, the first one is called Xia Hongfei, who is from Hubei, and this person Lei Zi has checked. The other is Lu Chengwu, a Shanghainese, who has returned to Shanghai at the beginning of the year. But it's best to look them all up. ”

"What's the situation with this Xia Hongfei?" The commissar looked at Lei Zi.

"Xia Hongfei, a native of Yichang, Hubei. He Chen Jing is a fellow countryman and a bachelor's graduate. Originally, he worked in TMK company, and he left the same department. But I left my job a long time ago, did you leave before you left? ”

"Yes. I must have been gone for almost a year before I came. ”

"The reason for leaving is not very clear, and I have to look it up. But since then, he has never gone to work seriously. I did sales, hotel management, and my last job was hotel management. Since then, it has not been recorded. Brother Li was suspicious of this, so when we went to see their company's party again...... "Sun Lei told the political commissar about the stadium watching the party. "But there is no direct evidence of a crime."

"What about the rest of the one? Lu Chengwu. “

"This is relatively simple, and I will go back to Shanghai at the beginning of the year."

"I know this better, Lu Chengwu is our department, but in different groups, he and Chen Jing are in a workshop, and the two have been in love for half a year. Later, during the Chinese New Year, Lu Chengwu took Chen Jing back to Shanghai, and later made a lot of trouble. Lu Chengwu's family didn't agree much, so Chen Jing probably didn't see his parents and went back to Dongguan. Later, Lu Chengwu went back to the company to go through the resignation procedures, and it is estimated that the two had little intersection later. “

"Didn't the autopsy report mention that she had a miscarriage? Is that with this Xia Hongfei? ”

"Probably right?" Sun Lei turned his head to look at Chu Li.

Chu Li touched his forehead and raised his head tiredly, "It's not too clear, but it's no one else." This estimate is relatively clear. “

The political commissar glanced at Dong Rui, Dong Rui took out a small notebook the size of a palm and began to record.

"So it looks like there's a lot to do. The first to bear the brunt was the arrest of the doctor and Qian Langkun. Then investigate Xia Hongfei and Lu Chengwu. Third, screening for organ transplants. Fourth, find Zhu Qiao. The commissar looked at the cold dishes on the table, and he had no appetite. But he was the first to pick up chopsticks and eat. "Now, eat!"

The rain outside is pouring abundantly, the groove in the wavy middle of the asbestos tile in the shantytown has long been gathered into a water curtain, sitting by the window, Chu Li clearly feels the slightly open window, the oblique wind rolls and splashes of water, wrapped in cold, constantly invades the back, the scar that has been many years old faintly pulls the muscles next to it, and there is a trace of pain that has not been seen for a long time. He endured the resistance in his stomach and ate a few bites of white rice and drank a few more mouthfuls of pork rib soup. said goodbye to a few people, got up and went back to Chang'an. Before leaving, the political commissar walked to the door and said to Chu Li: "You leave the case to Dong Rui to drink Sun Lei, and go to work by yourself." I know you want to solve the case early, but leave the professional business to the professional people. Don't make me repeat it. ”

"Commissar, I know, you always pay attention to your body." Indeed, they didn't know more than Sun Lei. So I didn't have much of an idea. The commissar turned away, the hair on the back of his head black and white.

There was no one on the bus platform, and on such a midsummer night, Chu Li actually felt cold all around. He suddenly remembered that once in Houjie, and at night, Chen Jing came quickly carrying a paper bag, with a ponytail thrown high, her lips were red like blood, her eyes were full of eccentric looks, the corners of her mouth were raised, her neat teeth were shining with soft milky white dots, and the tip of her nose was covered with fine beads of sweat. Chu Li looked up at the sky, and he felt countless droplets of water falling from the sky, dripping his forehead, washing his eyebrows, and flowing down his neck and into his chest. At the same time, the raindrops were full of sadness, and finally I couldn't hold back the sharp pain in my throat, and I hunched my back and vomited.

Sun Lei held an umbrella in his hand and watched Chu Li cry under the bus stop. A little hesitant and a little embarrassed. He took out a cigarette and looked at the man he had known for more than ten years, but was extremely strange. Chu Li has an uncontrollable anger and a compassionate temperament. It turned out that he was not sad, but he only dared to let go of it by pretending to be strong and hiding behind people. The bus was rushing from afar to meet the raindrops, and Sun Lei hurriedly rushed forward from under the eaves and shouted Chu Li. He turned his head, looked at the umbrella in Sun Lei's hand, hurriedly wiped his face, hid his sadness and grinned, and said, "Give it to me?" ”

"It's raining too much, brother!"

The car braked in front of him, Chu Li stepped on the bus pedal, suddenly remembered something, turned back to Sun Lei and said: "You go to see if Zhu Qiao disappeared that morning, and whether there is him on the monitoring on the sand road!" “

Sun Lei nodded, "Got it, fuck Chulmos." “

Two days later, Qian Langkun, the doctor, and Zhu Qiao were all arrested.
