When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

At night, Lin Lezhi sat on the grass and enjoyed the breeze. In front of him was a small river flowing slowly and very calmly.

Whenever Lin Lezhi wants to calm down, he likes to find a quiet place and look up at the night sky.

However, there are only a few stars that can be seen in the night sky of the city.

It's like there's a layer of mist, and only a few bright stars can shine through the mist.

As far as I can remember, when I was still living in the village, the starry sky was very bright, and I felt like I was covered in a transparent cover full of stars.

Stretch out your hand, and the stars in front of you seem to be within reach.

Every time Lin Lezhi did this, he felt that he was not alone and was no longer afraid.

Didn’t someone say that people turn into stars after they die?

When I was a child, my grandfather liked to take me to the riverside to watch the stars and tell me some strange and supernatural folk stories. I was often so scared that I couldn't fall asleep, but my grandfather had already fallen asleep and made snoring sounds.

Lin Lezhi's name was given by his grandfather.

'Be content with what you have, and know your fate, so you won't worry.'

It comes from the book "The Book of Changes", which my grandfather likes very much.

My grandfather said that giving himself this name was not to let him resign himself to his fate, but to face difficulties with an optimistic attitude.

Now that I think about it, maybe my grandfather gave me this name just to give me a heads-up in advance.

When I was young, I thought that my parents left me to be raised by my grandfather just because they were busy.

To be honest, Lin Lezhi has always told himself this.

My parents only come back during the Chinese New Year, on New Year’s Eve, and then the whole family gets together for a simple meal.

Afterwards, they would all leave without any prior agreement after receiving a phone call, and when they left, they would each leave some money for their grandfather to take care of themselves.

Lin Lezhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because many children in the same village were like this, and there were even many children whose parents only came back once every few years.

And my parents come back every year.

It was not until Lin Lezhi grew up, probably in his teens, that he secretly took a bus to the city without telling his grandfather, and found out that everything was just a well-intentioned show.

original……

Lin Lezhi's parents have already started their own families and have their own children.

The two children were not much younger than him, but when they smiled, it was as if they owned the whole world.

Lin Lezhi just took a look and didn't disturb them. He took the bus back to the village.

Strangely, Lin Lezhi didn't cry, nor did he blame them. Before coming here, Lin Lezhi had already anticipated that something like this would happen.

Because when parents make a phone call, they can hear the voices of other children on the line.

However, after my grandfather found out, he blamed himself for a long time, thinking that he shouldn't have chosen to ignore it, thinking that as long as he didn't say anything, he could live a peaceful life forever.

Later, my grandfather passed away. It was the time when all the family members gathered together, and it was a rare time when the house was lively.

At that time, I was able to take care of myself.

My parents' faces were full of self-blame. They said that they didn't want me to have an incomplete childhood, so they chose to accompany me to grow up in that way.

Lin Lezhi felt that they did not need to blame themselves, as everyone had the right to choose the way they wanted to live.

His parents rented a house for him in the city and regularly sent him money for living expenses. With this, Lin Lezhi moved from the village to live in the city and saw a wider world.

Because his grandfather always liked to tell strange stories, after his grandfather passed away, Lin Lezhi couldn't help but feel curious about strange things, and gradually began to read books about criminal investigation cases.

From each case, Lin Lezhi discovered that not everyone faces difficulties with an optimistic attitude, or in other words, there are many things in this world that cannot be overcome by optimism alone.

Unwilling, painful, sad, jealous, resentful...

Too much helplessness.

Once you fall into the quagmire, you will no longer have the courage to climb out, but will sink deeper and deeper.

Eventually reason is destroyed and one does something irreparable.

How nice it would be if the flames of everything could be extinguished right from the beginning.

So Lin Lezhi felt that he was much luckier than them.

If you never had something, losing it doesn't seem that sad.

But it's just a simple fact.

That's it.

Lin Lezhi also thought that losing one's life was not a big deal and there was nothing to worry about, since he was alone anyway.

Lin Lezhi was simply curious about these things, and he had never thought about becoming a policeman until a chance encounter.

He met someone.

Lin Lezhi stretched his hand towards the sky. The stars in the city were always sparse and dim.

Before he could catch the dim stars in front of him, a can of beer was suddenly thrown towards Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi took it steadily in his hand. Because the beer was chilled, he felt a chill at his fingertips, so cold that it was bone-chilling.

Lin Lezhi quickly changed his hand and used his other hand to grab the mouth of the can, which was relatively less cold.

Because of the summer heat, a lot of water droplets condensed on the body of the can and slid down. Each droplet was crystal clear and plump, falling into the soil along the body of the bottle.

"I knew you were here."

Ji Hang walked over with a smile, he also had a can of beer in his hand, but his beer was not cold.

"Ji Hang, why don't you buy yourself some ice cream?" Lin Lezhi asked with a look of disgust.

"I'm old and can't drink cold drinks." Ji Hang joked with a smile, then sat down on the grass next to Lin Lezhi.

Although Ji Hang always said that he was old, he was only seven years older than himself.

Ji Hang punched Lin Lezhi's back hard and pretended to be angry, "Those younger than me in the team all call me senior brother, but you are the only one who always calls me by my name without any respect."

At this time, Lin Lezhi would always be very reasonable and would reply without finding any fault with it: "I'm not on your team."

Ji Hang opened the beer in Lin Lezhi's hand and then opened his own.

As if he had expected it, Lin Lezhi held the bottle farther away. Sure enough, his bottle was shaken by Ji Hang and beer continued to pour out.

The beer flowed onto my hands, emitting bursts of malt aroma.

When he took it in his hand just now, Lin Lezhi felt that the body of the can was tense.

Ji Hang laughed triumphantly, as if something very funny had happened and he kept laughing.

Ji Hang never gets tired of this kind of pranks.

Lin Lezhi looked at Ji Hang, his face full of speechlessness, and said with disdain: "When can you stop being so childish?"

"When you are willing to call me Senior Brother, I will stop doing this."

"Then just wait."

Although Lin Lezhi said this, he knew in his heart that he would not scream.

Seeing that the beer in Lin Lezhi's hand was no longer bubbling, Ji Hang clinked the beer in his hand with the can in Lin Lezhi's hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, this case was solved thanks to you for finding the clues."

"I think you are more suitable to be a criminal police than me." Ji Hang said sincerely.

"I think you are more suitable." Lin Lezhi said sincerely.

Ji Hang is not the captain of the criminal investigation team. He has been a member of the criminal investigation team for many years. However, no matter how difficult the case is or whether it is dangerous, he always rushes to the front and his attitude is always positive.

It is this idea that makes Ji Hang suitable to be a policeman.

Lin Lezhi and Ji Hang's acquaintance was just a coincidence.

Six years ago, when I was still in high school, a serial murder case occurred in the city where I lived.

The mouth and eyes of each victim were cut to pieces.

The death was extremely cruel and the whole city was in panic.

The victims were of all ages and there was no logic in the killings, so it was difficult to infer who the murderer was based on the victims' network of relationships. In addition, the murderer had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so the murderer could not be found.

Due to the similar modus operandi, the police combined all the previous cases into one.

But this time, due to the murderer's negligence, clues were left behind. The scars on the surface of the body were smooth, and the blood of the deceased contained anesthetic components.

In order to successfully kill the victim, the murderer forced the victim to inhale anesthetics, but because the dosage of the anesthetic was too large and the victim's heart function was poor, the victim died instantly.

The murderer calculated the time it took for the anesthetic to be metabolized in the body before committing the crime, but because he was too panicked, he did not notice that the deceased had stopped breathing when he committed the crime.

Following this clue, we searched for the purchasing channels of materials related to making anesthetics and found the murderer.

He is a doctor.

On the day of his arrest, he was preparing to go to the hospital for surgery.

At that time, Ji Hang had just graduated from the police academy. He was wearing plain clothes and participated in the arrest operation.

This arrest is a very critical opportunity.

Lin Lezhi liked to walk in deserted alleys because they were quiet. The murderer happened to live nearby and he happened to escape through this alley, which was like walking into a trap.

But even though the knife was against Lin Lezhi's neck, Lin Lezhi was not afraid, but was very calm.

Between catching the murderer and protecting Lin Lezhi's life, Ji Hang chose the latter without hesitation.

Lin Lezhi felt that his life was of no importance, but Ji Hang slapped Lin Lezhi on the back without giving any explanation and said angrily: "What are you talking about, little brat? Since God has given you the opportunity to live, you must cherish it."

Lin Lezhi rubbed his aching back, looked at Ji Hang and said, "But if the murderer gets away, more innocent people will die."

Then he was hit hard on the back again. Ji Hang responded with a firm look in his eyes: "If you can't even save the person in front of you, how can you save more people?"

Just when Ji Hang was about to call to tell the captain that the arrest had failed, Lin Lezhi snatched Ji Hang's phone and hung up the call.

"What are you doing, little brat..."

Lin Lezhi entered his own phone number into Ji Hang's mobile phone, dialed it and handed it to Ji Hang. Ji Hang reacted immediately and called the police to search for the location of the target phone. The murderer was soon arrested.

Lin Lezhi took advantage of the murderer's nervousness and secretly put his mobile phone into the murderer's bag in the dark.

Although his parents bought him a mobile phone, not many people would contact him, so Lin Lezhi's phone was usually on silent.

I never thought that one day it would also function as a mobile phone.

The murderer was eventually caught and gave out the real mastermind behind the incident. Other murderers who were paid to kill people were also caught.

The person behind the scenes hired killers for a large sum of money and taught them how to hide the evidence of the murder.

The person behind the scenes is not in this city. He hires killers to kill people and enjoys the pleasure of being in control of everything.

You can kill whoever you want to kill without dirtying your hands.

The reason for the killing was because those people once looked down on him. He blamed the person who caused him to be arrested, saying that if he had killed people as he said and not been so smart, he would not have been caught.

In order to protect Lin Lezhi and prevent him from being harassed by the media, the bureau did not disclose Lin Lezhi's identity.

The bureau is forbidden to disclose the case to ordinary people in order to avoid hurting innocent people. Lin Lezhi is not only an ordinary person but also a student.

Whenever he encountered a difficult case, Ji Hang would always use abstract descriptions to ask Lin Lezhi what he thought, because Ji Hang really felt that Lin Lezhi had the talent to be a policeman.

Stay calm and make quick judgments.

After a while, the two became friends even though they had nothing to do with the case.

Ji Hang will care about his life like a family member.

When I was admitted to university, Ji Hang forced me to take a photo with him, which is the only one in the family.

Lin Lezhi's Sanda skills, which can be used for self-defense and occasionally to help others, were taught by Ji Hang.

Under Ji Hang's words and deeds, Lin Lezhi's ideas are also changing bit by bit.

Although Lin Lezhi had no intention of becoming a policeman at first, under the influence of Ji Hang, Lin Lezhi was gradually learning more professional criminal investigation knowledge, and there were more and more books on criminal investigation in his home.

I thought that after graduating from college, I might be able to become a police officer through hard work.

until……

Ji Hang’s death.
