"Semi-open campus, entry and exit without registration documents, a total of five gates, large and small, including a 'small north gate' that was pried open for the convenience of express delivery, this gate has not been monitored. Although there are cameras in the building, thousands of students came in and out that day, and there were also visitors from other schools. We turned the school upside down and still have no clue. Shen Li's social relations are so simple that she can count them on one hand. The only relative, that is, her father, passed away in a car accident three years ago." For a long time, she sat in the chair by the window, took a puff of a cigarette, and leaned her head on the backrest.

Although Lu Zhiyao has only met him twice, he feels that when he smokes for a long time, he always has endless thoughts.

Lu Zhiyao: "Can't find any clues in the dormitory building?"

Jiu Jiu: "Well, there are no cameras in the dormitory buildings of the old campus. The dormitory supervisors were on duty that day, and they both confirmed that no men had entered the dormitory building. Men, no one has heard any strange movements in Shen Li's house. About the girls, the two hundred or so people in the whole building have already questioned them one by one, and they haven't found anything suspicious for the time being. Many girls brought girls from other schools to play that day. Those who are sure to have been here have been arranged to make a record, and there are still some who are too troublesome and sneaky and have not confessed. During this period of time, the dormitory area has not been blocked, and the murderer should have fled long ago."

Lu Zhiyao: "There's no loud noise, maybe it's an acquaintance? Where's Shen Li's friend?"

"She doesn't have many friends. She has a few associations. They were not at school that day. Oh, and your sister, Cao Lin, is said to be Shen Li's best friend. That day she just called a courier to help her send During the time when Shen Li's accident happened, she had been packing one by one with the courier at the dormitory manager's place, and she didn't leave even a single step, her alibi is very sufficient."

"Cao Lin is either my sister or the daughter of my father's business partner." Lu Zhiyao muttered.

"Cao Wanhong..." murmured for a long time, and then said, "There is one more thing that you must not have thought of."

Lu Zhiyao looked at him.

"During the autopsy, it was found that she lost a kidney."

Lu Zhiyao stood up abruptly: "What are you talking about! You were murdered and your kidneys were removed?"

Jiu Jiu: "No, this kidney should have been removed when she was very young, maybe she has a serious kidney disease. According to her roommate, Shen Li has been taking medicine, so she has a special small plastic medicine box , the size of a palm, but this pill box disappeared after her accident. We searched every dormitory and found nothing."

Lu Zhiyao: "If the murderer was someone in the building, the medicine box must have been transferred long ago. If it was an outsider, it would be even more impossible to be in the dormitory building. But what are you doing with her medicine box?"

"It's not clear at the moment, there are many possibilities. Some kind of medicine is needed, the medicine box left traces of the murderer, kept as a memorial of the murder, or other things. Moreover, the kidney in Shen Li's body is healthy. Due to his physical condition, he shouldn’t take medicine frequently to increase the burden on the kidneys.” After muttering a few words to himself for a long time, he suddenly raised his head: “Oh, by the way, we’re going to Chen Li’s house tomorrow.”

After talking for a long time, Lu Zhiyao looked at him: "Can I go together? I promise it won't affect your work. I just want to see where she lived."

After smoking for a long time, he extinguished the cigarette butt: "Okay."

Seeing that his hair was almost done, Lu Zhiyao got up and walked out of the room. Before going out, he turned his head and said to Jiu Jiu as if thinking of something, "Thank you, Captain Xu, for your good technique." Lu Zhiyao pointed to his head.

For a long time, he smiled helplessly at him.

The smile in the illusion finally appeared in front of his eyes. Lu Zhiyao saw the faint dimples at the corners of his mouth for a long time. Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that this smile had a feeling of deja vu, probably because he had seen it too much in the snow in his eyes. repeatedly.

Shen Li's hometown is in a shantytown called Longwan in Qingshui District. Lu Zhiyao looked around and found that this piece of land was one of the three pieces of land that Yuanhong had recently photographed.

Looking down from a high place, Longwan is surrounded by a circle of five or six-storey tube buildings, and this area has become a low-lying land with no sunlight.Most of the area is one-story houses, with high and low, odd-shaped roofs, like countless special-shaped gear teeth, which bite each other without giving way, leaving no space.

Before long, this house will disappear along with Shen Li and her deceased father, and the evidence of their existence in this world will be erased together.

Xu Jiu, Lu Zhiyao and his team followed the address on the household registration and went all the way in. However, the location of the shanty town is really complicated, like a maze with exits everywhere, but you can never find the right way.

The shantytowns are full of mud ponds one foot deep and one foot shallow. The first half is the market trade market in Longwan. There are various daily grocery stores on both sides of the narrow road. Men are idle smoking, huddled together At the entrance of the store, there is a 21-inch antique old color TV watching cross talk skits, sometimes cursing and sometimes laughing wildly, which is more vivid than the show; walking inside, you will arrive at the residential area, full of voices of women beating and scolding children, and there will be a basin of water from time to time Spilled from the house without warning.As he was walking, a certain old air conditioner started up with a "boom", and the whole shantytown trembled instantly. Lu Zhiyao suddenly remembered the modified racing car his buddy bought a few days ago, and the shock was almost overwhelming. One level, this short journey is simply thrilling.

For a long time, I took the address and asked an aunt who was peeing a child outside her house. The aunt looked at these people and saw that they were all dressed like dogs. When did such a battle happen in Longwan? The lineup of poverty alleviation condolences is simpler than this.

"Shen's house is still in front, the only relatively open place, under the big ginkgo tree." The aunt shook the child who had just peed in her hands, and asked attentively, "Are you here to demolish the house?" ? When can we demolish here? How much can we subsidize?"

Jiu Jiu: "No, we belong to the Public Security Bureau."

"Ah? The Public Security Bureau? Oh, it's really..." Then he picked up the child and closed the door with a "bang" in disgust.

The first time Lu Zhiyao stepped into Shen Li's house, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Before his eyes was the figure of a four or five-year-old girl, quietly picking up the floating ash by the window with her hands in a corner of the room.Lu Zhiyao suddenly couldn't stand still, supported his head and shook it.

Xu Jiuzheng, Zhao Yi and the police officers from Qingshui District were investigating the scene. Seeing that something was wrong with Lu Zhiyao, he came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, I may have seen Shen Li when she was a child." Lu Zhiyao took off the goggles and rubbed his eyes, then asked for a long time: "How did Shen Li's father die?"

"Her father's name is Shen Yong. He was the culprit and the only victim of the traffic accident. He has been licensed for less than a year. He has neither drunk nor drug-driven. We have asked him before his death. Being withdrawn has nothing to do with it, all I know is that he has a daughter with kidney disease, so there are no valuable clues." Looking through the information in his hand for a long time: "The only doubt is that Shen Yong is a man with money and no car. On the day of the accident, he rented a car and didn't know where he was going. He had held his driver's license for less than a year. According to Wuzhou's regulations, he should not be able to rent a car, but the owner of the car rental company said that he added a lot of extra money, so the boss I rented it to him. After checking the car, it was not tampered with, and the car rental company was clean, so the conclusion at the time was that Shen Yong was too poor at driving and drove on a national highway full of trucks for practice, and the accident happened."

Lu Zhiyao: "It's okay for him to rent a car and drive out to practice?"

Shaking his head for a long time: "It's a bit unbelievable, but there is no other explanation, and Shen Li's record at the time also said that he didn't know the reason."

Lu Zhiyao walked to the old-fashioned glass cabinet in the living room. The cabinet was divided into two rows vertically. There were many children's toys inside. One row resembled pirated Barbie dolls and cartoon animal plush toys, and the other row had bald haired animals. Shuttlecock, plastic skipping rope and ball etc.

Lu Zhiyao stared at it for a while, feeling an indescribable feeling, so he called over for a long time.

"Look at this cabinet, what do you think?"

After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Neat and clean, this kind of toy from childhood is still so well cleaned up, it doesn't look like a big man did it, maybe Chen Li cleaned it up by himself."

Lu Zhiyao shook his head, stroked his chin with his fingers, and said, "Don't you feel a... distinct feeling?"

A gust of evil wind blew by, and the door slammed shut with a bang.

After a long time, he raised his head and trembled, a strange feeling densely crept into his heart and rushed straight to his forehead.

When they left Shen Li's house, people from the sub-bureau were packing up the family's evidence one after another.Sitting on the threshold with Lu Zhiyao for a long time, in front of him is the protected century-old ginkgo tree at the door of Shen Yong's house. It is at its best growth time, and the golden fan-shaped leaves everywhere seem to enclose Shen Li's house in a gentle illusion. From time to time, a gust of wet wind blows and a few leaves fall off. Lu Zhiyao hides under the golden eyes, and secretly looks at him by giving him a chance to light a cigarette.

"Because it was a traffic accident at the time, it was easy to deal with, but now it is really difficult to investigate what happened three years ago, and it is even difficult to find witnesses." As he was talking, he saw a person passing by the intersection. Aunt, immediately stepped forward with Lu Zhiyao to say hello.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm from the Public Security Bureau, and I want to ask you about the situation of this family." Xu Jiu flashed his ID.

The aunt took a few steps back in fear: "You mean the Shen family? Didn't Shen Yong die in a traffic accident a few years ago? Her daughter is studying in the city."

The news of Shen Li's death has not yet come back.

"I want to ask you, did anything special happen in this family during the time when Shen Yong died?" Jiu Jiu continued to ask.

"I don't remember this, it's been several years, and their house is a little bit away from our area, and we don't often meet." The aunt said and was about to leave.

Lu Zhiyao stepped forward and smiled at his aunt. A good-looking face is easy to use anywhere. The aunt was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Zhiyao and asked, "Young man, what do you want to ask?"

Lu Zhiyao smiled: "Don't be nervous, we are just asking you casually."

Jiu Jiu then asked: "Have you ever seen anyone come to your door?"

"At the door? You said that, but I remembered that before Shen Yong's accident, a woman came to him, and I saw it from a distance." The aunt recalled.

Lu Zhiyao and Jiu Jiu looked at each other, and Xu Jiu asked, "Do you still remember what it looks like?"

"Looks like long hair, thin, not too tall, looks young from the back, I only see the back, I don't have much impression of the rest. Oh, old Shen has no wife for a long time, it's normal for a woman to come to him Yes, I only saw that person once, and I never saw him again."

……woman.

For some reason, Jiu Jiu suddenly took out the photo of Cao Lin that was saved in the mobile phone when searching for evidence, and asked, "Does it look like this girl?"

The aunt twisted the corner of the phone and looked at it: "It doesn't look like it." After saying that, she made an excuse to go home and cook and left.

Lu Zhiyao thought for a while, doubting Cao Lin for a long time?

When leaving Qingshui, Zhao Yi and the police officers from the Qingshui District Bureau had to go back to the sub-bureau to sort out the information, and left alone for a long time.Lu Zhiyao graciously invited Team Xu to travel with him and successfully sent him home.

I have lived in a chic alley in the old town of Wuzhou for a long time. The old-fashioned two-story small buildings scattered along the road carve out irregular paths. , The side walls of every household are either covered with ivy or other evergreen woody vines, even in winter, it seems that a fresh fragrance can be felt visually.To the north is a narrow sightseeing inland river, where occasionally wooden boats pass by, and the boat maids wearing blue and white dyed headscarves will sing two long-standing Wuzhou dialect songs with a thin and sharp voice.Most of the rows along the river are self-built small buildings like Xu Jiu’s. Opposite the door is an old tobacco shop. It used to sell newspapers and magazines, but now they can’t be sold anymore. It also sells shredded radish cakes and Cigarettes, the business is even more prosperous than when selling books, newspapers and magazines.

Lu Zhiyao's car couldn't drive into that alley, and the two of them just wanted to say goodbye on the spot, when they walked out the window for a long time, they saw an old lady helping an old man who collected second-hand goods pushing a full load of yellow croakers to get to the old man's bungalow Halfway through the small ramp at the door, the little old lady suddenly put her hand on her forehead, feeling dizzy and about to fall down.After a long time, he ran out of the car like crazy.

Lu Zhiyao didn't know what happened for a while, so he sent the driver and Secretary Qian back first, and chased after him.

After a long time, he ran over and hugged the old lady: "Mom! Why did you come back alone?"

"Ah? Long time, are you back?"

"Are you dizzy again!" Jiujiu anxiously hugged her shoulders: "Let's go home first."

Walking to the door of the house, he glanced at Lu Zhiyao who was following him for a long time: "Thank you for taking me back. It's not convenient to entertain you today. I invite you to drink tea another day."

After a long time, he helped Xu Dongmei open the door and was about to step in.

Lu Zhiyao lifted Xu Dongmei's other hand up, and bent his eyes for a long time: "Auntie doesn't seem to be feeling well, I'll take care of it with you." After saying that, they went into the house together without seeing the place .

After passing through the small courtyard in the south and entering the house, Xu Dongmei's eyes were still a little cloudy. She looked at Lu Zhiyao: "This...how can such a delicate girl come from."

Lu Zhiyao slipped and almost fell: "Auntie, I'm a boy!"

As soon as he entered the house for a long time, he went into the kitchen to cook for Xu Dongmei.

"Uh, boy? Why do you look so good-looking, even more beautiful than our old Jiu." Xu Dongmei leaned closer to Lu Zhiyao and looked again: "Who are you from our old Jiu?"

"Uh..." Lu Zhiyao scratched his head and smiled, "My friend, I just met you not long ago."

After a long time, he brought out a bowl of porridge, fed it to Xu Dongmei and helped her upstairs to rest.

After going downstairs for a long time, Lu Zhiyao was already reclining comfortably on the sofa: "Your mother, is it high blood pressure?"

"Well, the disease has become more and more frequent in the past two years. This disease, if you are not careful, it is easy to cause cerebral infarction, but now it is controlled by taking medicine, and most of the time it is okay." Jiu Jiu poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao: "You are so busy with work, can you rest assured that she lives alone?"

"That's definitely not possible. I got her a room in the nursing home. When I'm not at home or when she wants to be with those old sisters, she will live there." Xu Jiu said looking at the stairs that Xu Dongmei had just walked , pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

Lu Zhiyao felt warm in his heart. He remembered that there was absolutely no such kind of warmth between himself and Lu Yuanzhen. He left Yuanhong to set up "Mobius" because he couldn't get used to the old man. The ruthlessness and arbitrariness in the killing and killing decisions, Lu Yuanzhen's arthralgia attacks these years, many of the work of taking care of him fell on Lu Zhile's head, thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao felt a little sad.

The two of them nestled on the sofa and drank tea for a while. They didn't talk, and they didn't feel embarrassed. The comfortable feeling made Lu Zhiyao unable to lift his butt and didn't want to leave.Lu Zhiyao quietly stared at the side face that had been beautiful for a long time under the light, feeling that he would "do it" if he didn't leave.

Before leaving, Jiu Jiu asked him: "Aren't you going to tell me, why are you so afraid of washing your hair?"

Lu Zhiyao's heart suddenly seemed to be pulled, a little sore.

Everyone knew about Lu Zhiyao's hair-washing habit, and they thought it was a son's disease or some abnormal hobby, but no one ever asked why.

"Then are you going to tell me the story between you and Shen Li?" Lu Zhiyao asked back.

There was no answer for a long time.

Lu Zhiyao said seriously: "The question you asked me, leave it as an excuse for me to ask you next time, okay?"

After a long time, he finally raised one corner of his mouth and tilted his head to laugh.

It was snowing again in front of Lu Zhiyao's eyes hidden behind the goggles. The snow turned out to be such a warm and soft thing, and Lu Zhiyao's heart felt crisp.

"Damn." He suddenly jumped and covered his eyes and ran away, muttering in his heart: "Fortunately, I haven't done anything inappropriate to Shen Li for a long time, otherwise I would have to watch porn starring him every day."
