(For something else, not a duplicate chapter.) This is what I wrote in my spare time. If nothing else, if the next book is still written, it is estimated that this is it. I originally wanted to write a food book. ）

I often wonder when there are two sides to this world.

I don't know when there was yin and yang in the world, and there were positive and negative. I always stand in the light, and I want everyone to be in touch with the sunshine like me.

It's just that no matter how hard I try, I can't do it. When that darkness comes, the afterglow of me will be swallowed up. The only thing we can do is grope and grope in the dark. Even if it is only one person who can be saved.

It rained again in Nanchang City.

The rainy season, which lasted for several days, was like a pot of boiling steam on top of people's heads.

Whenever summer comes, this rain will come sooner or later. People have become accustomed to the rain in this repetition year after year.

It's just that Xie Zerui doesn't like this rainy season.

This is an annoying rain, often the environment will always drive people's emotions, restlessness, anxiety will always appear in this rain.

It's just that this city needs rain, not only it needs green, but this noisy city, and only in this rain will it become a little quiet.

Sometimes, that's what people need.

Outside the window, the long-aged sycamore tree has also recovered its charm, and it has been exhibited because of the nectar for a long time. It was as if everything came alive in this rain.

It's just that Xie Zerui's brows locked tighter when he looked out the window.

He still didn't like the rain.

The whole city was crushed in a state of ash. The skyscrapers and glass curtains on all sides reflect a deep green light in the dripping waves of the rain, making the whole city a different style.

A... It seems to be trapped in the style of Yellow Spring, which is mostly gloomy and desolate.

Rain can indeed wash away hatred in people's hearts and extinguish the fire in their eyes.

It's just that in the hearts of most people, there is a seed.

This seed, called desire, was nourished by the rain. Like the expansion of the recovery of all things, it began to grow wildly. Burning people's lives, in an instant, turning a city into a dark forest that can devour people.

People are getting lost in this forest that they can never get out of.

Inside the room, there was a faint shaking sound. First intense, then gentle, then a few buzzing sounds. Until one hand presses it down.

This one has a coin under him, a 1990 five-cent coin.

Xie Zerui looked at the coin and suddenly smiled.

He liked the coin, not so much the coin itself, but the direction in which it was facing.

This is the positive direction.

Xie Zerui likes this front, and it can be said that his whole person is standing in this orthography.

He looked at that 1990. I think of 1990, when he was in the first grade, the teacher stood on the podium and spit on the stage, and the students diligently copied their notes.

At that time, they were all the same.

_____ what do you want to be?

In the face of the teacher's answers, the students are full of confidence and confidence. It's a policeman, it's a teacher, it's a scientist, it's a doctor, it's all kinds of professions.

Different professions, one thing in common. That is to serve the motherland and give back to the society.

Even if it is in the face of strangers, he will offer a kindness, and raise his hand and say, I am a Young Pioneer and Lei Feng.

Xie Zerui still remembers that at that time, everyone always had a smile on the corner of their mouth, wanting to become the hero they longed for in their hearts.

It's just, what is the beginning. And what about the scales that started to tilt? Which heads and tails started to come out?

Xie Zerui thought for a long time, reached out and pinched his brow, put the 1990 five-cent coin back in his pocket, and sat back in his chair.

The rain outside the house is getting heavier and heavier. seemed to want to toss the whole city to its death, and the sultry air made Xie Zerui's heart even more irritable.

He even felt that he didn't like the rain very much.

"This is the third person this year. Xie Zerui looked at the case file in front of him and frowned even tighter.

02 years. He was assigned to the public security system from the Jiangxi Police Academy, and he has always been obsessed with that word in his heart. When he brought the police... Emblem, back this faith. In the past 16 years, three cases that have shaken the whole country have been solved, which is why at the age of 29, he became the captain of the criminal investigation brigade of the Qingshanhu Branch of Nanchang City.

In the seven months since the 18th year, from spring to summer, a total of three young girls have died mysteriously.

The first female corpse had no scars on her body, and she died peacefully. The body was found on the street at around 5 a.m. by environmental workers. According to the forensic examination, he died at about 3 o'clock in the morning.

At first, Xie Zerui thought that it was just a natural death of one's own nature and did not need to be recorded. The medical examiner performed an autopsy on the body and determined that it had been asphyxiated and incapacitated.

It's just that in the respiratory tract of this female corpse, there is no blockage or indentation. There are no fingerprint clues on the body. The medical examiner can only identify sudden cardiac death.

Forty-two days later, another female corpse appeared, the same as the first death. Again, no clues could be found.

In the second case, a female corpse appeared. Xie Zerui's keen instincts told him that this matter was not so simple.

He believes that it is a serial murder case. After determining a detail, I think so.

It's just that when he was about to file a case for investigation, he was detained by the deputy bureau in charge of the criminal investigation brigade.

No one wants to scrap a story about a case of natural death. The lack of police force has always been a gap in the public security system.

This case is his own record.

Xie Zerui sighed and picked up the case file in his hand.

The deceased's name is Li Yijia, female, 18 years old. Northwest University of Economics. The cause of death was asphyxiation.

is simply two crosses, recording the death of a young girl.

Xie Zerui looked at the case file, thought about it, picked up a pen and wrote a line on it.

The three deceased, all oriented to the West.

"Ritual?" Xie Zerui shook his head and laughed as he thought of this. This is not Xinjiang, there is no religion. Where did the ritual come from.

"Ritual ......." Xie Zerui suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the two cases had one thing in common.

The corpse was not lying, but kneeling, leaning on a pole pole to prop up its entire body.

"The three deceased, all eighteen years old... Oriented to Western ...... The second and third... They were all forty-two days apart. ”

Xie Zerui's eyes lit up, this is indeed a ritual, just like the Western demon Satan, who needs the blood of a girl to be sacrificed as a ritual to summon Satan.

Outside, the rain was dripping. Bit by bit like a melody, with the heartstrings. He seemed to catch a little light.
