Views:

Nancheng District, Qingjiangyuan residential area.

At about 10 o'clock in the night, the grandfathers and ladies who were dancing square dances came home with tape recorders. After a burst of excitement, the community finally quieted down.

In this quietness, the quarrel in Building 3 11-4 was particularly abrupt.

"Are you going to work overtime again? Are you working overtime or going out to fool around?" The woman in her 40s was wearing a bloated peach-pink home padded coat, her hair that had been browned from long-term dyeing was disheveled on her shoulders, "Work overtime, you will Can't you find a new reason for me? Whose man ran out to work overtime at night? Don't you see what this family is like? Have you taken care of this family? Have you taken care of my dad?"

The man has already changed his outfit for going out, and it seems that he must leave. "If you don't believe me, call President Chen now, and ask him yourself if I'm going to work overtime! If I tell a lie, , I'm fucking going out today and I'll give people a whole death!"

"What's the use of you making these poisonous oaths?" The woman's eyes were red, "I'll ask you, you have time to work overtime, but you don't have time to take care of my dad? You know what he looks like now! I, I take care of myself alone Do you have to come!"

The man seemed completely irritated, glared at the woman and shouted: "That's your dad! Why should I go and wipe his shit and urine? If you can't survive, don't fucking live, you are willing to be dragged down by him, I fuck I don't want to! I still have my fucking work to do! I don't go to work, I watch him at home every day, relying on your salary, and your whole family drinks the northwest wind!"

The woman covered her mouth and looked extremely surprised, as if she didn't believe a man could say such a thing.

After the man shouted, he seemed to understand that he had gone too far, and his eyes were hesitant for a moment.

Half a minute later, the woman screamed and picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, and stabbed the man like crazy, "Go to hell! Go to die!"

The man's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly ducked to the side, trying to avoid the fruit knife from the woman's hand. But the woman was out of control, and the power that burst out was too much for an adult man to resist. The man let out a muffled cry, and a long bloody hole was drawn on his arm.

"You're fucking crazy!" The man pushed the woman away, grabbed the knife, and gasped against the wound.

Fortunately, he was wearing a sweater, and the stab wound was not deep, but the sweater was light gray, and the blood soaked on it was very conspicuous.

The woman fell to the ground and looked at the blood that was slowly dizzy. Only then did she regain her senses. She hugged her head and cried a lot, saying "I'm sorry" for a while, and "Why don't you die" for a while.

The man didn't want to stay in this depressing home for a second, and he was too lazy to deal with the injury on his arm. After going to the bedroom to pack a clean sweater and a shirt, he gave the crying woman a vicious look and slammed the door. out.

Qingjiang Garden is an old community that has been built for more than 20 years. The supporting facilities are seriously aging, especially the elevator. Every time the elevator door is closed, there will be a muffled sound. fall down.

The man walked into the elevator angrily, and when he heard the muffled sound, he slammed a fist on the wall of the cabin and cursed in a low voice, "Damn!"

His name is Li Zhaofeng, and he works in the "Hai Lan Fu Ting" shopping mall in Nancheng District. Now that the physical business can be done, the end of the year is the most important promotion season. When this time of year comes, it is extremely busy. Two years ago, there was an attack on a shopping center in the neighboring big city of Los Angeles, and all related industries became alarmed. The security pressure has doubled. He told his wife that he would work overtime, but he did not lie. He couldn't wait to sleep in the company. He came back in the evening to take a bath and change his clothes. Unexpectedly, he had a big fight, and his mother was cut with a knife. It was really hard to live on.

The more Li Zhaofeng thought about it, the more angry he got. When he got out of the elevator, he was swept across his face by the biting cold wind at night. Instead of calming down, he became even more annoyed.

This society always likes to talk about men's domestic abuse of women, but who should he talk to when he is domestically abused

At that time, which muscle did not match up, did you have to marry Wang Jun? What are the benefits of getting married? I took a yellow-faced woman several years older than me, to support the family, and to serve the paralyzed father of the yellow-faced woman. He has never even served his own parents!

Thinking of this, Li Zhaofeng no longer has any thoughts of working overtime. He just wants to take the clunky elevator back and get a divorce from the old woman!

But in the world of adults, many are helpless and must learn to compromise.

Standing at the gate of the community and smoking two cigarettes, Li Zhaofeng spat and walked to the roadside cursing.

Although Qingjiangyuan and "Hai Lan Fu Ting" shopping center are both located in Nancheng District, one is in the north and the other is in the far west. In order to hurry, you can only take a taxi.

There were very few empty taxis at this time. After waiting for a long time, Li Zhaofeng suddenly felt that someone was following him.

He looked back several times and saw no suspicious behavior.

It must be the dead woman—he was so sure.

After about a quarter of an hour, the empty car finally arrived. Li Zhaofeng opened the passenger's door. When his brother stepped on the accelerator, he suddenly saw a stationary black figure in the rearview mirror.

The figure was diagonally behind where he stood not long ago, but he turned around several times and didn't see it.

The taxi had merged into the traffic flow, and he couldn't stop his brother, so he had to look at the smaller and smaller figure in the rearview mirror.

Even when he couldn't see the other person's face, he had a weird sense of certainty that the other person was looking at him.

who is it

Why are you standing there

Why stare at yourself

"Where?" my brother asked.

Li Zhaofeng came back to his senses, and then he remembered that he had not reported his destination. And when he finished talking about where he was going, the black figure had disappeared.

He hoped that was an illusion.

·

Dongye City and Luocheng are closely connected and radiate from each other. The attempted attack in Luocheng not only makes all the shopping centers in Dongye City feel nervous at the end of each year, but also the police are like a formidable enemy as soon as the time comes.

As early as mid-November this year, the Municipal Bureau held a meeting with various sub-bureaus and police stations, requesting to ensure the safety of the shopping malls within its jurisdiction, strengthen patrols and investigations, and do not let go of any doubts. The sub-bureau and the police station turned to the shopping mall to talk earnestly.

A while ago, the armored vehicles of the special police drove into the shopping mall and important road sections early, and the police with live ammunition were on duty around the clock.

The sub-bureaus are swearing at each other, and the special police officers sent out on duty must not only have excellent professional ability, but also be upright and upright. One stop in the shopping mall attracted many citizens to take photos.

The SWAT team was not dispatched on duty last year, but the leader of the team probably felt that all the limelight was robbed by the sub-bureau. This year, Lu Yanzhou was given the task of picking a few "spiritual" young men to go on duty with the sub-bureau.

Lu Yanzhou hadn't done such a thing for a long time. At first, he was very unhappy and ran to the Criminal Investigation Bureau to complain to Mingshu.

"Hey, why don't you go with me." Lu Yanzhou said, "Wherever we both stand, there is a beautiful landscape."

"I don't want to be a scenic spot with you, thank you." Mingshu said ruthlessly: "Go with your diligence."

Lu Yanzhou looked left and right, "Then I will tell you Xiao Bureau."

Mingshu pulled the person back, "Something is coming at me."

"I just want to chat with Xiao Bureau, can't I?"

"We Xiao Bureau have a lot of time to deal with, what can we talk about with your little white face."

Lu Yanzhou said "hey", and was about to continue speaking when he heard Xiao Yuan's voice.

"What are you talking about me?"

Xiao Yuan was wearing trousers and a black shirt, and the coat should have been placed in the upstairs office.

When he met Mingshu's eyes, the corner of his lower lip was indistinctly curved.

This little detail, straight man Lu Yanzhou, is naturally impossible to capture, "Xiao Bureau, can you let Team Ming go with me for a few days?"

Fang Yuanhang perked up his ears not far away.

He really wanted to control the water in Lu Zhinan's head and tell the other party - wake up, my master and our deputy bureau have long been a couple, why are you still messing around here

"That won't work." Xiao Yuan's tone was very easy-going, but his attitude was very firm, "The Ming team still has important work in their hands, and they can't go away."

Mingshu raised his eyebrows at Lu Yanzhou, "Did you hear? This captain is very busy."

"This captain is not free!" Lu Yanzhou didn't catch anyone, so he was embarrassed to make a scene in front of Xiao Yu'an, so he had to go back to the SWAT team to work.

The SWAT officers from the Nancheng Branch are on duty in "Hai Lan Fu Ting". In the past few days, Lu Yanzhou has also brought his brothers from the SWAT team there. The festive atmosphere in the shopping center is getting stronger and stronger. Under the perfect security system, almost no one dares to commit crimes.

At noon, the special police of the Nancheng Branch received a report that an employee of the fourth group of the planning department of "Hai Lan Fu Ting" was missing.

The person who called the police was Liu Kai, the head of the planning department. Facing the SWAT police with a rifle, he was very nervous, and his forehead kept sweating, "I don't know if I should call the police, but you are here, I think I will come to you anyway. Ask. My employee came to work overtime the night before yesterday and couldn't find anyone. His name is 'Li Zhaofeng'. I contacted his family just now, and his wife also said that the last time I saw him was the night before."

The SWAT generally doesn't care about disappearance cases, and most of the ordinary disappearance cases are handled by the police station, but now is a special period. The missing person is the employee of the shopping center, and he disappeared after overtime. I said something to Lu Yanzhou, who was also on duty at "Sea Blue Fortune".

Lu Yanzhou is a special police officer, most of whom are in contact with vicious thugs. He rarely encounters a disappearance case, so he hurriedly sent a message to Mingshu: "Xiao Ming, a staff member of 'Hai Lan Fu Ting' is missing, do you want to come and see?"

Mingshu didn't care about the disappearance case, but he also kept his mind to report the investigation situation at any time.

The case is being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Nancheng Branch. Li Zhaofeng is 36 years old, from Jinglin County, Dongye City. His wife Wang Jun, 42 years old, is a native of Dongye City. The two have a daughter, 4 years old, and the family of three lives in Qingjiangyuan. community.

Li Zhaofeng studied marketing at Li Zhaofeng University. After graduation, he was engaged in the planning and operation of shopping malls. At the age of 28, he joined "Haoyue" real estate and worked in several commercial real estate projects under it. Hao Yue" real estate project.

Wang Jun is a music teacher in an elementary school. His salary is not high, and Li Zhaofeng almost relies on Li Zhaofeng for his family expenses.

In addition, Li Zhaofeng's parents lived in Jinglin County, and Wang Jun's father was paralyzed and lived alone in the old house assigned by the unit. Wang Jun had to take care of his father every day, and Li Zhaofeng had to visit occasionally.

In the matter of taking care of the elderly, Li Zhaofeng and Wang Jun had numerous quarrels - their neighbors confirmed to the police that Wang Jun scolded Li Zhaofeng and wanted him to die.

The police found the taxi driver Wang Yong based on Li Zhaofeng's payment records.

"I remember this person. He did ride in my car." Wang Yong looked at the photo and said, "And he is very strange. He, he just reacted and said he was going to 'Hai Lan Fu Ting'. Isn't there a subway construction near 'Hai Lan Fu Ting', it was very congested, I was bored chatting with him, and found that he kept pressing his arm. Guess what? ?"

The detective said, "Don't betray the police."

"Hey, it's just a joke, don't be so serious! I've already provided you with information, but you still don't give me a good look?" Wang Yong said glibly, "Are there any of you who serve the masses like this?"

When the police are dispatched, they are afraid of provoking this kind of people, so the criminal police can only follow: "Then what did you see?"

"He's injured!" The elder brother of Youyou has the talent to talk about cross talk and storytelling, Wang Yong's eyes widened, and he squeezed his arm tightly, in pain, "I see, my darling, the sweater is cut. I said how could he be so obsessed, he had a fight with someone!"

On the other side, the team members who were investigating at "Sea Blue Fortune" found the sweaters and shirts that Li Zhaofeng had replaced.

As Wang Yong said, the clothes were indeed torn and bloodstained.

Facing her husband's clothes, Wang Jun was in a trance, "I had a fight with him that day, but I didn't, I accidentally stabbed him."

"Then what?" the detective asked.

"Then he left and said he was going to work overtime." When the word "overtime" was mentioned, Wang Jun suddenly became excited, "He didn't go to work overtime at all! He lied to me!"

"Li Zhaofeng hasn't been home for two nights. Haven't you thought that something might have happened to him?"

"It's none of my business if he dies outside!" There was no worry on Wang Jun's face, what appeared in her eyes was a bravado of anger, "he said, he said, if he deceived me, he would be arrested outside Someone else will die! If something happened to him, it's because he lied to me!"

The detective said, "He said such a thing?"

Wang Jun raised his right hand, "He still swears!"

Compared with Wang Jun, Li Zhaofeng's colleagues' reaction was more normal. They said that until the Spring Festival, the department was on duty by turns. That day, Li Zhaofeng was busy until 3:00 in the morning. Everyone planned to go to a nearby mutton soup pot and go back, but they always liked it. Li Zhaofeng, who was working in a group, actually refused on the grounds of "something at home".

Surveillance showed that Li Zhaofeng's colleagues left the office at 3:10 in the morning, and Li Zhaofeng stayed inside for a while alone, and walked out of Hall A where the planning department was located at 3:24.

At this time, there were still police and security guards on duty near the mall. Li Zhaofeng walked to Pingshun Street - this is where he usually took a taxi, but he did not stop by the roadside, but turned into the branch road of Pingshun Street.

No other public surveillance has caught him since.

And there are no subsequent call records and payment records on his mobile phone.

It was as if he was suddenly swallowed by the bypass.

The branch road is a back street. There are many such back streets in big cities. The more prosperous the central area, the more back streets. Some “literary and artistic” economic experts refer to back streets as lice on gorgeous dresses. , in fact, they are not so bad.

Because it is close to the "Sea Blue Fortune", there are many cosmetic shops, restaurants, and massage shops that cannot enter the shopping mall on the branch road of Pingshun Street. Although these stores are open until late, there are not many open until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.

No one could be found by public surveillance, and the criminal police had to go door-to-door in shops to ask questions.

The owner of an acupuncture and massage parlour said that Li Zhaofeng arrived at the store at 3:30, but did not do a massage. He only had a massage room, borrowed a bottle of alcohol and cotton, and went in to sleep.

In-store surveillance confirmed the boss's words.

In the camera, Li Zhaofeng looked very tired, but he seemed to be very familiar with the boss.

The boss explained that Li Zhaofeng was a frequent visitor here, and he would come for massage every three or five days. He had an annual card, so he did not pay on the day.

At 6:19 in the morning, Li Zhaofeng came out of the massage parlor and disappeared again.

At this time, the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense. Nancheng Branch was worried that the large-scale investigation would cause social panic. On the one hand, it limited the scope of the investigation to the vicinity of "Hai Lan Fu Ting", and on the other hand, continued to investigate Li Zhaofeng's interpersonal relationships and personal habits.

Li Zhaofeng is undoubtedly the most common white-collar worker. He and his wife bought a second-hand house with a mortgage. There are old people and young people. After the monthly payment is paid, the salary has to be divided into basic living expenses, education funds for daughters, and medical expenses for the father-in-law. , in short a breathless family.

But this does not explain Li Zhaofeng's sudden disappearance.

He refused to have dinner with his colleagues, and did not go home. Instead, he went to the massage parlor he often went to. This is likely to be self-relief under long-term repression-he needs an undisturbed environment to release a lot of his negativity. mood.

He left the massage parlor looking in a good mood, as if he had done this self-ease.

Then there is no reason for him to disappear.

That afternoon, he had to go to work in the planning department.

Judging from the descriptions of his colleagues, he is not a person who picks up the list lightly.

If he didn't disappear voluntarily, it would be an accident, but after preliminary investigation of interpersonal relationships, only his wife Wang Jun and Wang Jun's cousin Wang Junjun had fierce conflicts with him.

Wang Junjun once spent 5 years in prison for intentionally hurting people, and was released in the first half of this year. After Li Zhaofeng's introduction, he worked as a security guard in "Sea Blue Fortune" and had a good relationship with Wang Jun, so he could not rule out a "lesson" for Wang Jun. The possibility of Li Zhaofeng.

Wang Junjun claimed that he had not seen Li Zhaofeng for a week, nor had he seen Wang Jun, so he did not know what happened between the two.

But before and after Li Zhaofeng disappeared, Wang Junjun could not explain his whereabouts.

Due to their high suspicion, Wang Jun and Wang Junjun were taken to the Nancheng Branch for questioning.

Wang Jun complained about Li Zhaofeng's "disregard for family" over the years, saying that Li Zhaofeng likes to play, has a "little treasury", and travels alone whenever he has time, failing to fulfill his duties as a husband at all.

When the detective asked Li Zhaofeng what he was playing, Wang Jun cried as an example - computer games, board games, and secret room games that have become popular in Dongye City in recent years.

Mingshu didn't have time to personally investigate this case, but he kept paying attention. The inquiry records of the sub-bureau were regularly sent to the serious crime team. He quickly browsed and heard Wang Jun's words.

board game? Chamber of Secrets

Mingshu immediately called Yuan Huan, the deputy detachment leader in charge of the case, and suggested to focus on checking the people Li Zhaofeng knew in the game.

Just that night, the Huajin Road police station, 4 kilometers away from "Hai Lan Fu Ting", received an alarm from a resident, saying that a body had been found on the fourth-phase construction site of the "Fumao Bay" community.

Preliminary autopsy by the forensic doctor confirmed that the deceased was a male, and the time of death was more than three days. The fatal injury was a sharp injury to the neck, the aorta and trachea were cut off, and there were multiple restraint injuries and struggle injuries on the body. The bone and nasal bone were fractured, and there was a sharp injury on the upper arm of the right hand, but from the appearance of the wound, it was not caused by the same tool as the fatal injury to the neck, and the time was slightly different.

The bodies were found on the edge of the Phase IV site, where a green belt was designed to separate the site from the residential area. Few people will look at the green belt. Residents are disgusted by the noise of the construction site. Generally, they do not go there. Workers have another way to enter and leave the construction site, and they do not pass near the green belt.

The person who found the corpse had to chase the dog that ran wild, only to see a pair of feet exposed in the woven pocket.

Judging from the situation of the corpse spot, this is not the first scene, but the scene where the corpse was thrown. Before the police arrived, the scene had been destroyed by migrant workers and residents watching the lively.

The injury to the right arm of the corpse is the most noticeable. After DNA comparison and identification of relatives, it was confirmed that the corpse was Li Zhaofeng, who had disappeared before.

Knowing that her husband was really dead, Wang Jun's mood suddenly collapsed, his reaction was completely different from before, and he cried, "I don't really want you to die!"

At the same time as the DNA comparisons were carried out, autopsies were also being carried out. The precinct forensic doctor found a detail not found in the previous preliminary autopsy - a fine conical hole on the left sole of the body.

Unlike other wounds on the corpse, these small holes have no life response and are obviously caused after death.

The autopsy report was divided into several parts, one of which was sent to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Mingshu walked briskly in the corridor and finally ran.

"I can't make a conclusion until I see the body." Xing Mu's face was solemn, "But judging from the overall shape of these small holes, it is very likely that they are the same as the small holes in Huang Yan's chest, made of broken ice hammers. It's just that the location is relatively hidden this time, and it can't be seen at a glance like Huang Yan's on the soles of the victim's feet."

"There's another point." Xing Mu said, "The murderer was holding a broken ice hammer and poked Huang Yan's chest like a seal. He poked a total of 9 times, causing extensive damage. But Li Zhaofeng's soles were only poked. 2 times, the first time was light, the second time was heavy, and the first time was like a test."

"The purpose of the murderer was not to hurt Li Zhaofeng with an ice hammer, but to mark it with the same mark as Huang Yan's case." Ming Shu put his finger on his chin, "He has acted again."
