Summer evenings are cool and pleasant.

Fang Lei carried a plastic bag to the Wannian Bridge by the moat, found a step and sat down, looking at the river, blowing a cool breeze, drinking beer in a daze.

He remembered a lot about the days of his two daughters.

At that time, he was in his thirties, and he was ecstatic to get two treasures, and wanted to stay with them all day, read them stories, dance with them, laugh, and bother to make food for them.

He still remembers that they liked to eat pasta and tomato bolognese sauce since they were children, and he would cut the pasta into small pieces with a fork, and they would spoon it into their mouths, often making their mouths full of red tomato sauce, and their little faces were bulging and oily, which was very cute.

At that time, he often sighed that he had taken some shit luck in his life to have two such cute and obedient daughters.

However, all of this was reversed during their adolescence.

They were too obedient when they were children, but suddenly became super rebellious at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Early love, absenteeism, truancy, smoking...... Afterwards, Fang Lei recalled that maybe it was because he didn't have enough company during that time, so something went wrong. Those short two or three years were the only struggles of his career.

He naively thought of making some achievements and setting an excellent example for his children, and devoted almost all his energy to the work of the criminal police, so much so that he neglected his family.

Fortunately, I have a good wife and a good mother for my children.

Under the leadership and influence of this amazing woman, the rebellious personalities of both children were reversed before the age of eighteen, and they were admitted to decent universities. After graduating from university, the eldest daughter became a teacher and the younger daughter became a nurse, both of which are not bad careers.

It was in the hospital that the youngest daughter met her current husband.

Even so, Fang Lei believes that they don't seem to have "deep feelings" for themselves.

They only remembered their mother's goodness, and despised Fang Lei's company when they were children.

In their memory, Dad was always out and late at night or didn't come home at all.

For them, their father, who is a police officer, can only make their faces shine when the teacher and classmates are discussing, and most of the time, they only remember the hard work of their mother and the loss of their father's position.

This situation became even more pronounced after the death of my mother. After they got married, they came back less, plus they didn't have a mother, and they didn't have much in common with this father, so they went home only a handful of times. As a father, Fang Lei occasionally wanted to improve the relationship between father and daughter, but with little success.

Therefore, this time the two families appeared at the same time and persuaded him to sell the house, which made him feel sad to be honest. He hadn't been so sad since his wife died. After sadness, there is loneliness, loneliness to the depths and even loneliness.

He felt very lonely.

As soon as he looked up, he noticed that the can had been emptied, so he set it aside, ready to wait to throw it in the trash.

At this moment, something moved in the grass a few meters away, attracting his attention.

He stared at it for a few moments before realizing it was a puppy.

It looked like it was probably only a month or two old, black, with a little curly fur, dark eyes looking at him timidly, and its little tail wagging incessantly. Fang Lei took out the bread that was going to be used for breakfast from the plastic bag and slurped.

It took a few tentative steps, and then it came running.

Fang Lei broke the bread into small pieces and put them in the palm of his hand.

The little black dog approached vigilantly, stretched his neck, and rolled the bread into his mouth with his tongue, making his palms tickle.

He laughed and tore off more bread to feed him. He was like a little starving ghost, and he finally let go of his courage to eat.

Fang Lei looked around, but didn't find its owner nearby, and then realized that it should be a stray dog.

Fang Lei touched its head and kept warning himself that he resolutely couldn't raise it, otherwise it would be very troublesome and he would think of those sad things.

After a while, his phone rang.

It was forensic doctor Lao Yang who called.

"Are you okay now? Hurry up and make a visit to the forensic center. ”

After saying that, he hung up without explaining the reason.

Fang Lei got up, sprinkled all the bread in front of the puppy, then glanced at it, walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.

Soon, he arrived at the forensic center, changed into a protective suit, and walked into the dissection room.

Lao Yang was playing with his mobile phone inside, and when he saw him come in, he pointed to the side. Only then did he see that there were two corpses on the two dissecting tables: one was the man who was stoned to death, and the other was the big yellow dog that stoned the person to death. Fang Lei felt that this picture was a bit absurd.

"How?"

"It's not like you said you had to autopsy the dog, otherwise it wouldn't have taken that long." Lao Yang said.

"Good work. Next time, I will invite you to eat hot pot. ”

"Forget it, every day I face this, I want to vomit when I look at the raw meat."

Fang Lei smiled.

"Is there a situation that called me over in such a hurry?"

"Which do you want to hear first, dog or human?"

"Let's go dog first."

"That's fine." Lao Yang walked up to the dog and lifted the white cloth, revealing the dead dog underneath. Fang Lei had an extremely ugly expression on his face. After the autopsy, the appearance of the big yellow dog was even more miserable.

"First of all, it can be determined by the digestive matter in the stomach that this is a stray dog, because what was tested was all garbage and rotten matter, and there was no dog food or normal food."

Fang Lei nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"There are more than 40 wounds on the body, all of which were wounded by sharp objects, and although each wound is not deep, it is enough to cause it to bleed and pain." Lao Yang paused as he spoke, as if he was holding back his grief and anger. Fang Lei knew that he was a very caring person, and he took in four or five stray cats at home, and every time he came to work, he had to take a bath in the bathroom for more than half an hour to avoid bringing those cat hairs in. But even so, Fang Lei was still a little surprised that such an old forensic doctor who had dissected thousands of corpses and had been doing half his life would have such mood swings when dissecting a stray dog, "Look at his left hind leg, the comminuted fracture of the knee joint ......"

"Could it be that it fell and shattered?"

"It's not. It fell from a height of more than 20 meters and smashed into the person's body, which is equivalent to having a buffer, and it is impossible to fall like this. And, most crucially, not only the left hind leg, but also the right hind leg, the same part, the same comminuted fracture! ”

Fang Lei now knew why Lao Yang was so angry.

It was as if he saw a picture of the big dog's two hind legs completely broken, and he could only use his front paws to drag his wounded body, screaming in pain while squirming forward.

The reason for all this is most likely the crazy abuse of species that are called human beings on the surface, but in fact they are inferior to animals.

"What about the cause of death?"

"As you think, the skull was broken with a blunt object, and he bled to death." Lao Yang gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard, I really hope someone can cure him!" ”

Fang Lei understood what he meant.

So far, China currently only has the "Wildlife Protection Law" for the protection of rare and endangered wild animals, and ordinary animals are not included in the scope of protection, so the misconduct of abusing ordinary animals cannot even be called illegal and criminal acts in many cases.

If the market price of the victim animal reaches the legal level, the public security organ can impose a public security penalty on the person who abused and killed the animal, and at worst file a case for the crime of intentional destruction of property, and if the value of the victim animal is not high, only the civil tort liability to the animal owner can be borne.

Stray dogs like this, because they do not have owners, are neither civil torts nor the object of crimes against property.

"Have you found a suspect in dog abuse?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Lei's mind immediately appeared with the face of the man named Tao Jun in 2502. Immediately, he shook his head.

"Still investigating."

"Be sure to find out. Make this guy pay. Although he can't be prosecuted for dog abuse, he can be locked up for a while if he throws objects into the air and kills people. ”

"Don't worry, he can't run. By the way, what was found on the deceased? Fang Lei believed that the forensic doctor called him in such a hurry because of dog abuse.

"Come here."

Fang Lei followed him to the side of the corpse, opened it and took a look, revealing the face of a pale and bloodless man. The man was less than thirty years old, thin and weak, perhaps because of the shock brought by the corpse of the big yellow dog before, but this human face did not cause Fang Lei to be touched too much, showing more of a serenity.

"There were no other obvious external injuries to the deceased, and the cause of death was obvious, because his head hit the ground, which opened the wound, causing hemorrhagic shock to death. In other words, he did die from a high-altitude projectile. ”

"Then there's not much to say."

"However, since no identifying information has been found on the deceased, my discovery may help you narrow down the search."

"What is it?"

"I found more than one needle hole in the deceased's arm."

"Eye of the needle? Could it be ......?"

"That's right. Morphine and codeine were detected in his blood. Lao Yang said lightly, "This guy is a long-term heroin addict. ”
