sneak peek

On Friday night, during the peak traffic jam in the city, people who are off work, after school, and on a date are all jammed together.Every bus and subway is full of people.But even so, whenever you think that this stop has been packed to the limit, the next stop will still be filled with a few more people.

Gu Tianming looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock, no wonder his stomach was growling with hunger.There are still two stops before I can get home. After working overtime for a week, I can finally go home and have a good meal with my wife today.He had already thought about it when he woke up this morning. After dinner, he would go for a walk in the small park downstairs, watch a romance movie at home, and then exercise in bed.

After leaving the subway station, he quickly walked towards home. His wife got off work earlier than him and arrived home more than an hour ago. Presumably, the game has been prepared by this time, and she is waiting at home, right?He touched the chocolates he bought for his wife in his pocket, thinking of going back to give her a surprise.

"Baby? I'm back~" Tianming whistled and opened the door. Before he got any response, he felt a severe blow on the back of his head. His eyes went black and he fell to the ground. Before he closed his eyes, , I saw a pool of blood on the ground in the distance, and lying on the blood was an unmoving wife, who was my wife.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up and found himself sitting in the study with his hands and feet tied to a chair, his mouth sealed with tape, and unable to shout.The clothes on her body were changed, it was the suit she got married in.His head was aching and panicking, recalling the scene before he fell, his nose was sour and tears wanted to fall.

Although he didn't want to admit it, his wife was definitely dead.

He struggled hard, the rope was tied so tightly that his wrists were bleeding, and the rope did not loosen at all.

When he heard footsteps, he raised his head, and a man about his own age walked in. His clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and he knew at a glance that it was his wife's blood.

He tried his best to make a sound, wanting to question that person, but he could only make a low "huh" sound from his mouth, looking pale and weak.

The man walked up to him, made a "shh" gesture at him, then took out a clear tape and put it over his head.He immediately understood the other party's intentions, and struggled violently to prevent the other party from succeeding.

But struggling was useless, the man still put the bag on his head and tied it tightly.He felt that the oxygen was gradually being lost, and his eyes widened in horror.

Saturday morning.

"Boss, this way!" Meng Ning waved her arms cheerfully, waving to Gu Yexi who was about to be late.

Gu Yexi rolled her eyes inwardly, and reluctantly moved over.He didn't understand why he had to ride a bicycle in the field early in the morning on Saturday, why he couldn't sleep well at home?The only explanation is that Pan Wei came back from a business trip and had nothing to do, so he deliberately wanted to punish them.

He walked over and yawned, "Is everything here?"

Meng Ning: "You are the last one. Everyone else is waiting in front. Xiao Momo said that if you are so late, you may have lost your way. Director Pan asked me to come over and wait for you by the side of the road."

Gu Yexi scratched his head, the little hair on his head was scratched off for a while and then stood back up, "Why do you seem to be very excited? Don't you feel sleepy when you wake up like this on Saturday?"

Meng Ning said with a smile: "No, how good it is to exercise and breathe fresh air!"

Gu Yexi's facial expression was distorted, "Are you okay? If you are controlled by old man Pan, you can blink your eyes."

Meng Ning smiled and said nothing, "You'll know it's fun after a while."

Gu Yexi:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"By the way, why didn't Xiao Momo come with you today? Didn't he live at the door opposite you?"

"Oh, he seems to have gone back to his grandparents' house last night."

Gu Yexi quickly made up a lie, because as far as he knew, Mo Wang seemed to be called home by old man Pan last night, saying that he had a souvenir for him after returning from a business trip.

Gu Yexi silently dissed Pan Weiren in his heart: If you have money to buy souvenirs, but if you don't have money to reimburse the meal, you won't give me a copy of the souvenirs, hum, partiality.

After the two walked for a while, they saw a large army.Old man Pan was wearing tight-fitting sportswear, with a proud belly and a protective helmet on his head, looking like a professional athlete.Mo Wang stood obediently beside him, while Li Zi and Jiade smiled slyly.

Gu Yexi suddenly had a bad feeling.He looked around, everyone was pushing a bicycle beside him, he asked with a little doubt: "Uh, where did you rent your bicycle?"

Li Zi held back his smile, "Bring your own bicycle, there is no place to rent a car here."

Gu Yexi: "????? Didn't you say that you don't need to bring your own bicycle?"

Meng Ning laughed like a fool: "You have to bring your own bicycle, boss, are you mistaken?"

Gu Yexi is now 100% sure that she was punished by Pan Weiren.Moreover, this group of people are so active and excited to get up on Saturday, not because of some bullshit that getting up early is better, but to see their own jokes!

Gu Yexi spread his hands, "I didn't bring a bicycle, so I can't participate. I'll be watching you."

Pan Weiren: "If you don't have a bicycle, don't you still have two legs? Just run."

Gu Yexi: "???? I refuse. It will take at least half an hour to reach the finish line, okay? This will kill me."

"I'll see you at the finish line in 30 minutes. Whoever exceeds the time limit will be punished with [-] push-ups." Pan Weiren left a sentence, and took the lead to walk away on his bicycle.

Li Zi and Meng Ning followed closely behind, Huang Jiade patted Gu Yexi: "Come on, old man."

Gu Yexi:? ? ? ?Inverted!Rebellion! ! !

Mo Wang pushed his bicycle and walked to Gu Yexi's side, "Uh, I didn't know he was going to punish you, otherwise I would definitely remind you..."

Gu Yexi said with a toothache: "Old Man Pan must have known that you would tip off the news, and deliberately arrested you to live in his house last night."

Mo Wang hesitated and said, "How about I drive you there?"

Gu Yexi looked at Mo Wang's bicycle, and it turned out to be a model with a rear seat. He struggled for a while, and felt that shrinking in the back seat would be too detrimental to his image as a tall and mighty captain, so he rejected Mo Wang.

Mo Wang seemed a little worried, "It's quite far, are you sure you want to run there?"

Gu Yexi started to run, "It's okay, it's just a short distance, I can't run to death."

Mo Wang slowly stepped on the car beside him, wanting to run with Gu Yexi, but Pan Weiren called him over in front, so Mo Wang had no choice but to abandon Gu Yexi.

Half an hour later, Gu Yexi ran to the finish line panting at the last second.Meng Ning was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror, Li Zi took out a donut out of nowhere and was eating it, Huang Jiade was taking pictures as usual.

Pan Weiren looked like he had succeeded in his trickery, watching Gu Yexi run away with only half his life left.

Mo Wang walked over with concern, "Are you okay?"

Gu Yexi put one hand on Mo Wang's shoulder and said in a low voice, "If it weren't for your cuteness, I would have murdered you because of old man Pan."

Mo Wang: ...

Huang Jiade threw a bottle of water to Gu Yexi, "Gu, it looks like you're running so fast."

"Nonsense, it's such a long distance, you can run here in 30 minutes, try running down, I'm sure you'll be even more choking."

Huang Jiade grimaced and went to help Meng Ning take pictures.

Pan Weiren said with a smile: "You, you are so choking because you don't exercise too much."

Gu Yexi sat down on the stone beside him, and responded with a "smile" to Pan Weiren angrily, thinking, obviously you are the one who sits in the office every day, okay?

Mo Wang tried to defend Gu Yexi from the side, "It's a bit far..."

Pan Weiren clapped his hands, "Okay, now let's ride back ~ and then go eat together."

Gu Yexi:? ? ?I just ran over and am going to run back?What do you think I am?Is it a ball?

Pan Weiren: "The first one to arrive will be rewarded with 388 red envelopes."

Immediately, except for Mo Wang and Gu Yexi, the others rode away in a hurry.

Mo Wang looked at Gu Yexi, "You...?"

Gu Yexi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mo Wang waited for a while, but Gu Yexi still didn't say anything, thinking he wanted to stay alone, so he got on his bicycle and planned to ride back.

He stepped on it, and found that there was a force pulling the bicycle backwards. He looked back and saw that Gu Yexi was pulling the back seat of his bicycle, with pitiful eyes, "I have cramps."

Mo Wang forcibly suppressed the desire to laugh, "Well, come up."

I don't know if Mo Wang's driving skills are too bad or it's on purpose. He bumped and bumped all the way, and Gu Yexi thought he was going to overturn several times.He sat in the back and was frightened, afraid of being thrown into a shit, and he didn't hug Mo Wang like the heroine of a Japanese drama, so he grabbed his clothes tightly. When he got out of the car, he saw Mo Wang covered by his clothes It was wrinkled into a lump, like a rabbit's tail.

Gu Yexi didn't ask Mo Wang to take him back directly, but let him get off the car at almost the same place, and then pretended that he ran all the way back.

Mo Wang asked slightly worried: "Is your cramp better? Can you go?"

Gu Yexi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, you ride over first, I will run over slowly, and old man Pan found out."

The tiring Saturday team building was finally over, and everyone was planning to go back to the city to have a delicious meal, but before they arrived at the restaurant, the bureau called, saying that there was a case and asked them to go to the murder scene.

The area where the murder scene is located is a relatively new area in the city. It has only been developed in the past five years. The traffic is not particularly convenient, and the city is not lively. It is a bit scary to walk at night, but it is cheaper and more It is a key development area in the next ten years, and many young people will choose to buy houses there.

There were two dead, a couple, Gu Tianming and Lin Luo.Lin Luo's younger sister called her several times this morning, but she didn't answer, and her brother-in-law couldn't be reached either, so she came over to check out worried.She happened to have a spare key, so she opened the door and went in, and then found the body.

You can smell a lot of blood when you enter the door. There is a large pool of blood in the innermost semi-open kitchen, which reminds Gu Yexi of the scene of her mother killing chickens before the New Year's Eve dinner every year when she was a child.

Lin Luo's body was in the bedroom. She was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if she was just asleep.Cut marks on her neck clearly show that she died with her throat slit.

Gu Yexi lifted the quilt and looked at it, her eyebrows moved slightly, Mo Wang looked at the sheets, and immediately said: "The corpse was brought here. The amount of blood here is wrong. If the deceased's throat was cut on the bed, the sheets There won't be that little blood, and there should be blood splatters on the walls."

Gu Yexi nodded, "Well, after the murderer killed her, he moved her back to the bedroom, put her hands on her chest, covered the quilt, and arranged her hair. She was disturbed by her death, and these actions are all repentant."

Mo Wang: "The murderer had feelings for her? Killed with love? Or was it an accident to kill her?"

Gu Yexi didn't respond, but just wandered around the bedroom thoughtfully, and walked to the study.

The scene in the study room is even more interesting. Gu Tianming's corpse is sitting peacefully on the office chair. He is wearing a suit that doesn't fit well, a pair of old leather shoes that are not up to the mark, and a transparent plastic bag on his head. Just suffocate.From the door of the study is a semi-open kitchen. If you accidentally step on Lin Luo's blood, there are messy bloody footprints on the floor of the study. It seems that the murderer has repeatedly walked in and out of this room.

Gu Yexi looked around the study room, frowning, one eyebrow raised.

Huang Jiade: "According to the preliminary judgment at the scene, Lin Luo's death time was about 7 o'clock last night. She was cut in the kitchen and then moved to the bedroom. Gu Tianming's death time was around 11 o'clock in the evening. But it was not a fatal injury, it should have been beaten by something like a stick, and there were signs of being bound and struggling on the hands and feet, the cause of death is obvious, it was suffocation."

Meng Ning flipped through the files of the two, "Both the husband and wife are white-collar workers, Lin Luo is a librarian, and Gu Tianming is the project team leader of an Internet company. They are ordinary good citizens who keep their own place and don't seem to have enemies."

Mo Wang asked slightly hesitantly: "Love killing?"

Meng Ning: "Probably not. According to Sister Lin Luo, the husband and wife have a very good relationship. And two months ago, there was an identical murder case. The female deceased was moved to the bed in the bedroom after her throat was cut in the bathroom. The male deceased was also in the study. Suffocated to death by a plastic bag over the head. The two couples don’t know each other for the time being, and their social circles don’t overlap.”

Li Zi poked Gu Yexi who had been silent all this time, "Boss, what do you think?"

Gu Yexi didn't answer, but just asked: "Is the murderer targeting the husband and wife, or one of them? If there is one of them, which one is it? There is no prize for answering."

The four of you looked at me and I looked at you, Huang Jiade answered first: "The target is Gu Tianming."

Meng Ning: "+1."

Plum: "+2."

Mo Wang: "Uh...well, I think so too."

Gu Yexi blinked for a while in a daze, "Hey, are you so unified? Then tell me, why?"

Meng Ning and Li Zi looked at Jia De in unison, Huang Jiade was unhappy, "Why am I the first to talk?"

Meng Ning: "Let's talk about the handsome ones first."

Huang Jiade pointed at Mo Wang: "Little Mo Mo is handsome, Xiao Mo Mo said."

Mo Wang: ...? ? ? ?
