Goodbye Zhou Gucheng, Wen Xu really has nothing to say.What should be said has been said at the beginning, just like what he put down, as long as grandma is still there, Zhou Gucheng will be treated like a brother.

However, who knows what Zhou Gucheng thinks?

Yingzi spoke first again, and said to Zhou Gucheng, "Stay for me for a while, and I'll see Brother Xu off."

Zhou Gucheng took a step back to make way, squinted at Hua Xin, and was surprised again.And Hua Xin was still saying goodbye to grandma, as if she didn't see anyone coming from outside the door.

Before Wen Xu left, she tucked in the blanket for her grandma, and walked to the door of the ward with Hua Xin one after the other.When passing by Zhou Gucheng, Wen Xu still talked to him: "I still have something to do, let's go first."

It's very polite and perfunctory, anyone with eyes can see that Wen Nu is showing grandma face, not showing Zhou Gucheng face.But Zhou Gucheng accepted everything according to the order, and the person who was low-key and small changed suddenly, smiled enthusiastically, and took a step towards Wen Xu, with an indescribable thought in his eyes.

Wen Xu's footsteps didn't stop, and she went straight past Zhou Gucheng who was approaching him, as if she didn't see him at all.Zhou Gucheng's outstretched hand hangs in the air awkwardly, neither forward nor retracted.

Seeing Zhou Gucheng's flushed face, Yingzi cried out in his heart - he deserves it!

At this time, Hua Xin walked slowly to the door, and Zhou Gucheng changed a surprised and enthusiastic face, stood in front of Hua Xin, and said, "Boss Hua, when did you come? Why didn't you say hello in advance?" How many days? When I have time, I will treat you."

Hua Xin replied as usual: "Okay, when we finish our work, let's sit down and have a good chat."

Zhou Gucheng was overwhelmed with flattery, followed Hua Xin and walked up, leaving Yingzi standing aside, completely ignoring him.Yingzi stomped her feet angrily, looking at Zhou Gucheng's flattering look, she was so disgusted that she was about to vomit.

Hua Xin walked to the elevator quickly, and Zhou Gucheng followed him step by step, talking non-stop: "Boss Hua, what business are you coming back for this time? You are not familiar with this place, right? If you need any help, please feel free to contact me here. Lots of friends, lots of contacts.”

Hua Xin just smiled and didn't answer.

Zhou Gucheng said again: "My brother didn't cause you any trouble, right? He is actually very capable. Don't underestimate him. As long as you promote him more, he can do a lot of things. This is the same as me. Eager to learn and work hard.”

Under Zhou Gucheng's nagging, Hua Xin finally walked to the elevator door, and the elevator door opened in time, Hua Xin stepped in, Zhou Gucheng also entered the elevator with the others.The elevator issued an overcrowded warning sound, everyone lowered their heads, and no one wanted to go out and wait for the next shift.

Zhou Gucheng looked at a middle-aged woman next to him with disgust, and seemed to say——Why are you so fat?

The elevator that doesn't work is just stuck, and the people in the elevator don't want to be the same as everyone else.Finally, Hua Xin said softly to the middle-aged woman beside her, "Sorry, please let me go."

Before the woman could turn her eyebrows coldly, Zhou Gucheng snatched a sentence: "Auntie, you go out first while standing at the door, anyway, the elevator will come up soon."

Everyone else in the elevator looked at the woman with the same disgust as Zhou Gucheng, and silently urged her - don't waste everyone's time.

Although the woman was a little annoyed, it was not easy to lose her temper with so many people, so she had to hold her breath and move forward.

At this time, Hua Xin passed the woman and stepped out of the elevator. He stood outside and smiled gracefully: "Ladies first, please."

While everyone was stunned, the elevator doors closed and began to run slowly.The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were full of admiration and a smile.Turning back to look at the others, she sneered and said, "Quality."

No one said a word in the elevator, and they looked down at their phones together in a tacit understanding.

Just now Zhou Gucheng entered the innermost part of the elevator in order to get close to Hua Xin, but now he can't get out at all.He stared at the back of the woman's head with resentment on his face!

-

Wen Xu came out of the bathroom and saw Hua Xin standing in the lounge looking around, he walked over with a smile and asked, "Wait for me?"

"What do you think?" Hua Xin's smile grew stronger, pointing to the sign hanging in the corridor on the right, and said, "Go down the stairs."

Wen Xu knew that Hua Xin chose to take the stairs because she expected that she didn't want to meet Zhou Gucheng.

Wen Xu curled her lips and said, "What about the ninth floor, you don't feel tired and I feel sorry for you."

He does not mean that.Hua Xin raised her eyebrows: "Do you love me?"

Wen Xu's face was flushed, just as another elevator got off, he dragged Hua Xin and left.The people who got into the elevator together were chatting, although it was a bit noisy, but it relieved Wen Wen's embarrassment and bewilderment very well.

Zhou Gucheng waited on the first floor for a long time but did not find Hua Xin. He searched around unwillingly, but after finding nothing, he suddenly remembered that maybe Wen Xu had told his grandma what business he wanted to do when he came back. Will make a fortune!

-

Standing on the street of City W, Wen Xu suddenly suggested whether to rent a car, because there was still a long way to go to his hometown, and taking a taxi was very troublesome.Hua Xin agreed to his proposal without even thinking about it, so Wen Xin opened the mobile app, found a car rental company with the highest credit score, and rented an excellent off-road vehicle for the boss.

After going through the formalities, Hua Xin drove Wen Xu away from City W to the destination - Nanjia Village.

Just after driving out of the toll gate, Hua Xin asked Wen Xu to call Xiao Qi to inquire about the progress of the Li family case.

The call to Xiao Qi was quickly connected, and Wen Xu turned on the loudspeaker function so that Hua Xin could hear him clearly.Soon, Xiao Qi sneered twice on the phone, and said: "Du Zhongbo has refreshed my horizons this day. Compared with him, the old mate is even more unprofessional."

Wen Xu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't he still unable to walk around? Why is he busy lying on the bed?"

"His legs can't move, but his mouth can move." Xiao Qi complained, "I haven't closed my eyes all day and night, are you crazy? The legs he manipulated will break!"

Hua Xin joked happily, saying: "The brave travel across the world, but the fool walks alone."

"Hahahaha why didn't you explode on the spot!"

Wen Xu couldn't help laughing when she heard Xiao Qi's words, and asked, "You've been busy all day and night, have you got any results?"

Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Aren't you two busy? Still have the energy to worry about things here?"

Before Wen Xu could explain their current progress, Hua Xin hung up the call decisively.Then he turned his head to look at the unknown Wen Xu, and said, "It's not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, now we need to hurry up in this situation."

Wen Xu half-closed her eyes and asked, "You're just too lazy to explain?"

"Don't worry about such small things."

-

Taking off the earphones, Xiao Qi picked up the eye drops and dripped two drops into the eyes to relieve the soreness.Then he picked up the printed portraits and materials, left the office, and rushed all the way back to Du Zhongbo's ward.

Du Zhongbo didn't rest much last night, working until four o'clock in the morning.Li Yuexi took away all his materials forcefully, and threatened to find the head nurse if he didn't rest any longer!

Thinking of the head nurse's terrifying face, Du Zhongbo had no choice but to lie down and sleep obediently, but he woke up before eight o'clock in the morning, and finally persuaded Li Yuexi to take out the hidden materials.

At this moment, Xiao Qi, who had been busy all night, came back with the printed portrait and basic information of the suspect. Du Zhongbo's eyes lit up, and before Xiao Qi reached the bed, he stretched out his hand to ask for it.

Li Yuexi also looked up curiously.

There are seven portraits in total, all based on Qian Wendong's description.However, they had to find the correct three of the seven to count as progress.

Xiao Qi sat on a chair, lazily, and said, "I've found everything I can give you, and the rest depends on whether you can tell which one is the suspect."

Du Zhongbo read the basic information of the seven portraits one by one, and then put them down.His expression was somewhat solemn, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Read the on-site materials again."

Xiao Qi couldn't help asking: "You've watched it more than ten times, do you still want to watch it?"

Du Zhongbo nodded and said, "I have to look at it, and I have to look at the forensic report."

Li Yuexi had already sorted out the materials he needed and placed them by his hand one by one.Du Zhongbo said casually: "Thank you", and at the same time, opened two documents.

After watching for about ten minutes, Du Zhongbo said, "Actually, there is only one murderer."

Xiao Qi's bewildered mind was mostly sober immediately, he sat up straight subconsciously, looked at Du Zhongbo suspiciously, and asked, "But there may be more than one person who jumped back."

"I haven't seen what Hua Xin said, but the information in my hand tells me that there is only one murderer."

As he said that, Du Zhongbo turned to page No.12 of the on-site information, and said: "This part of the subsequent appraisal results came out after I left the police station, so I didn't know the situation before."

"Then?" Xiao Qi asked curiously, "What did you see?"

"Look here." Du Zhongbo picked up a pen and drew a horizontal line under a certain text, "This is the result of the on-site blood stain identification, and the location is the door. There is a latch inside the door. This latch is old-fashioned, and the insertion rod is on the door. , bolted on the door frame."

Xiaoqi saw a black-and-white picture on the document. The latch on it was indeed old-fashioned. Most of the insertion rod was covered with blood, and the part without blood was the part that could be inserted into the latch, about five centimeters.The bloodstains on the plunger were clearly demarcated, as if they had been cut off in the middle by something, and were neatly divided.

Du Zhongbo said: "There is only one possibility for this phenomenon. When the murderer committed the murder, he inserted a bolt in it. When he left the scene after killing the person, he had to pull the bolt, so the blood remained on the plug. There will be no blood on the five centimeters where the rod is inserted into the pin."

Xiao Qi was confused when he heard it: "How can this mean that there is only one murderer?"

"Only one condition is of course not enough." Du Zhongbo said, "You can read the doctor's autopsy report."

Du Zhongbo opened the autopsy report, with three color printed photos on it.The blood and corpses were nakedly exposed in front of the three people.

Li Yuexi's face suddenly turned pale.

Du Zhongbo still said to himself: "The report said that each of the two deceased was stabbed more than [-] times, most of which were distributed in the limbs, but very few were distributed in the torso, and the incisions distributed in the limbs were not very deep. Nor fatal.

"The fatal wound of the deceased Li Shixiang was on the carotid artery. It can be seen that the murderer cut off his carotid artery with a single knife, and the blood was splattered..." At this point, he opened the on-site identification materials, "Look at this complete spray Splattered blood stains are distributed on half of the door and half of the wall. This shows that Li Shixiang was standing at the door at that time, and the murderer swung a knife behind him and cut off his carotid artery. And the female deceased..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi gave him a hard look.Du Zhongbo wondered, why are you staring at me?

I saw that Xiao Qi pursed her lips towards Li Yuexi, and Du Zhongbo looked back meaningfully. Li Yuexi was pale, biting her lips tightly, and her hands resting on the quilt trembled slightly.

Du Zhongbo wanted to scold himself for being careless, how could he talk about bloodstains and corpses in front of him?

Thinking of this, Du Zhongbo asked somewhat restrainedly: "Why don't you go out for a stroll?"

Li Yuexi shook her head slowly, and replied: "I'm fine, you can continue talking."

Du Zhongbo turned his head, "Oh".

Xiao Qi gave Du Zhongbo a blank look, and then looked at Li Yuexi worriedly.Li Yuexi slowly opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a pack of chocolate candies, opened a piece and put it in her mouth, then continued to look at the information in Du Zhongbo's hand with an indifferent expression.

Xiao Qi secretly thought: These two are not very normal.

Du Zhongbo returned to the subject and continued: "The fatal injury of the female victim was in the back of the head, and it was also fatal with a single knife. The forensic doctor has given the results. Li Shixiang fell to the ground after being cut in the carotid artery. After being hacked, the blood was absorbed by objects such as hair and clothes, forming pools of blood around the two corpses."

Xiao Qi tightened his nose and scratched his head again, looking confused.Smacking her tongue, she said to Li Yuexi, "Give me a piece of candy, I need to replenish my brain."

Li Yuexi carefully picked out a piece of hazelnut chocolate for Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi unwrapped the package, threw the candy into his mouth, and chewed it.

"I said Captain Du, you have told me so much, but I still don't understand how the murderer could be alone." Xiao Qi asked puzzledly while eating chocolate.

Du Zhongbo said calmly, "Because I haven't put all the conditions in place yet."

Li Yuexi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Any other conditions?"

Du Zhongbo pointed to the information with his finger: "Blood stains."

The document that was opened was a copy of the on-site appraisal. Du Zhongbo took out the eighth page alone, and asked Xiao Qi and Li Yuexi to look at the black and white printed photos on it.

The photos are full of blood, on the ground, on the furniture, etc...

Du Zhongbo said: "Most of the blood at the scene was in the form of throwing."

Xiaoqi and Li Yuexi showed expressions of "I don't really understand" at the same time.

Du Zhongbo clicked his tongue and had to explain in detail: "When the human body moves at a certain speed, the blood stain formed by the blood falling on the surface is oval, and one side of the edge is burr-shaped, and the direction of the burr is consistent with the direction of human body movement. .”

Xiaoqi immediately understood why Du Zhongbo explained the throwing bloodstains so clearly. Looking at the bloodstains on the photo, those burrs were all facing the door, that is to say: at that time, the two deceased were running towards the door In the process, the murderer chopped off his limbs.

Then, questions ensue.

Du Zhongbo closed the two documents, glanced at them each, and then asked: "The bolt, the fatal wound, and the bloody blood. These three points are enough to tell us that there is only one murderer."

Li Yuexi frowned and looked at Du Zhongbo blankly: "I'm sorry, I still can't figure it out."

"Okay, I have to be more clear." Du Zhongbo said.

Less than ten seconds after the file was closed, it was opened again.Du Zhongbo pointed at the tossed bloodstains, giving Li Yuexi something to think about.He said: "If there is more than one murderer at the scene, is there any chance for the two deceased to get to the door?"

Li Yuexi imagined for a while, then shook her head.

Du Zhongbo added: "If there is more than one murderer, do we still need to break the door?"

This time, Li Yuexi fell into deep thinking.

Du Zhongbo said: "The two deceased had more than [-] knives on their limbs, but neither of them was fatal. If I were asked to do the work of 'reconstructing the crime scene', my conclusion is that the murderer was playing tricks on the two deceased." His eyes deepened a lot, and he said in a deep voice, "When the knife sees blood, it doesn't want your life. I will leave a way for you to make you desperately want to escape, and it will kill you in the end."

The blood on Li Yuexi's face faded a little.He swallowed his saliva, rubbed the sweat from his palms, then looked at Du Zhongbo squarely, and asked, "The murderer takes pleasure in killing people?"

Du Zhongbo nodded: "Yes." After speaking, he turned over the materials and drew on the blank side with a pen.

Du Zhongbo has drawn a lot of crime scene drawings, practice makes perfect, and he can draw simple and clear situations with just a few strokes.He pointed at the door and said: "You can analyze it. When they decided to kill the victim, there was only one person left—the murderer. The murderer inserted the latch on the door and told the two victims that if they could escape Go and spare their lives.

Xiao Qi was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's better to have hope than no hope. If it were me, I would run away too."

Du Zhongbo responded, and then said: "During the escape, the murderer only stabbed their limbs, which shows that he didn't want to kill them immediately, but Li Shixiang has good physical strength and quick reaction, so he ran to the door first. But the murderer had caught up with him and fatally stabbed him. He fell to the ground, and his wife jumped on him, and the murderer slashed her in the back of the head.

"Then, the murderer dropped the murder weapon at the scene, pulled the latch, and left the scene."

In this regard, Du Zhongbo has perfectly proved that there is only one murderer, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Du Zhongbo sighed wearily and said: "Because of the timeline, there is no trace of the murderer and his accomplices at the scene, and Li Yue It is reasonable and reasonable for Xi's traces to remain at the scene. Without knowing it, the police will only believe that Li Yuexi is the murderer."

Xiaoqi and Li Yuexi, who already understood this, were speechless, and the room was suddenly quiet and depressing.

What kind of a person would take pleasure in killing?Li Yuexi couldn't imagine it, but the corpses of his parents were deeply engraved in his heart, and he would never forget them.When all the horrors were blocked from safety, all the good memories of the past flooded out. Those days of poverty but carefree were like movie clips, frame by frame.

Things are different and people are different, fragmented.

Angry because of sadness!Because of anger, so unwilling!

Li Yuexi's hand tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, as if grasping the murderer's neck, trying to strangle him to death!

Suddenly, a big hand pressed Li Yuexi's head lightly and lightly. Li Yuexi raised her head and saw Du Zhongbo's serious face.

"Uncle can still afford to pay for a quilt. If you want to tear it up, you don't have to bear it." Du Zhongbo joked with a serious expression and tone. Li Yuexi was stunned for a second, and his expression was full of killing intent a second ago. It disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Whether Du Zhongbo is sincerely planning to compensate a few quilts so that Li Yuexi can vent smoothly, or is he beating around the bush to comfort him, the motive is no longer important, the important thing is the result.As a result, Li Yuexi returned to normal, and obediently picked up a pen to record the situation in a small notebook.

Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow at Du Zhongbo, and smiled inexplicably.The latter didn't bother to talk to him, and continued: "What we need to do now is to find the murderer from among the seven people. Give me the information."

Xiaoqi was about to hand over the information of the seven people to Du Zhongbo, when the door of the ward was pushed open violently!Du Zhongbo's attending doctor stood angrily at the door, pointing at him: "Do you want to have another operation?"

The three people in the ward were stunned, and Du Zhongbo subconsciously shook his head vigorously.

The attending doctor continued to roar: "Who made you sit up? Who made you work?"

Du Zhongbo pointed to Xiaoqi without hesitation.

The attending doctor looked at Xiao Qi, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces!Xiao Qi hurriedly explained: "The case is very important."

"This is the medical center, not the headquarters! I have the final say here!" The attending doctor strode in and glared at Du Zhongbo, "Lie down!"

Li Yuexi hurriedly got up and took away the two pillows behind Du Zhongbo, and helped him to lie down.However, this did not make the face of the attending doctor any better. He confiscated the materials on the bed and the laptop, and the three people present did not dare to disobey.

The attending doctor gave Xiao Qi a hard look, and angrily walked out of the ward with their important things.

Only then did Xiao Qi come to his senses, patted his forehead, and said puzzled: "Who did I provoke?"

"Don't sit still, hurry up and get your things back." Du Zhongbo said, pointing to the door.

Xiao Qi said anxiously: "Can you continue?"

"Look for Hua Xin." Du Zhongbo was also exhausted, and his energy was a little low. "Give him all the records just now and the information of the seven people. I need to sleep for a while, and I feel a little sleepy."

Xiao Qixin said: What is all this?

Complaints belong to complaints, Xiao Qi still dutifully ran out to find the attending doctor, said a lot of good things to get back the materials and computer, found a random room, and sent everything to Hua Xin's mailbox.Then, another WeChat message was sent.

——Du Zhongbo worked with injuries, and he was almost heroic.You do the rest.
