Los Angeles City Bureau, Criminal Investigation Detachment.
"'Master Jun', formerly known as Liu Shunjun, has been domineering in Ningzhi City for many years. He is more 'smart'. He never touches drugs or guns, but he does other things for evil." Hua Chong put a document on the table, "Two A few months ago, the SWAT detachment was in Ningzhi City to comprehensively 'sweep the gang', Liu Shunjun and his subordinates were wiped out, and they are now locked in the detention center. Is Liu Shunjun related to the case you are investigating recently?"
Mingshu quickly browsed the information, and shook his head after a while, "I'm not sure."
Hu Ying once said that he was stopped by He Yang's secretary on the way and taken to He Yang's private manor. He Yang knew all about his urgent need for a life-saving money and the fact that he had played the secret room game. He knew for a long time that he had no other choice. In order to save Hu Yao, he would definitely agree to participate in the game.
Then, Sheng Zhi, another participant in the game, must have his background under the control of He Yang.
Is it possible that Gu Zhenghan's debt is a trap designed by He Yang? Is Liu Shunjun He Yang's subordinate? They dug a trap, waiting for Sheng Zhi to jump down
On the way from Ningzhi City to Luocheng Bureau, Mingshu has been thinking about these issues.
But now it seems that Liu Shunjun's loan to Gu Zhenghan may have nothing to do with He Yang. Liu Shunjun was the most common type of local hooligan in small cities, and perhaps he was not qualified to be He Yang's minion at all.
Gu Zhenghan's line seemed to be broken when he found it here.
"Have you encountered a difficult case?" Hua Chong asked.
The Dongye City Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department cooperate frequently, and Mingshu and Hua Chong have a good relationship, but there is discipline in everything, and the shady stories behind Hu Ying, Sheng Zhi, and He Yang cannot be fully explained to the Los Angeles police.
Ming Shu took a long breath and remembered what he had discussed with Yi Fei after completing the interrogation of Chi Yan.
Chi Yan's psychology is extremely distorted, and the motive for the crime is unbelievable, but it is difficult for any normal person to think of his line in the early stage of the crime. And interrogating him is also a chore. Even an experienced criminal policeman like Yi Fei took a long time to relax after leaving the interrogation room.
And Hua Chong is especially good at dealing with this kind of person, and can even be immersed in this kind of person's emotions.
Mingshu said: "By the way, Hua team, there is something I want to ask you."
Hua Chong laughed, "If you have anything to say, don't be polite to me."
"You are very good at bringing yourself into the suspect's emotions. As soon as a murder occurs, you imagine yourself as the murderer. This is very helpful for investigating the case, because a criminal policeman, the more he can think from the murderer's point of view, The sooner the case can be solved as soon as possible, and sometimes even the next tragedy can be stopped before it happens." Mingshu changed his words: "But many criminal police officers will have serious psychological problems because of this, and either get stuck in it and can't get out, or He was persuaded by the murderer's emotions and finally embarked on the road of crime."
Hua Chong said, "Do you think I can't get out, or am I being assimilated by criminals?"
Mingshu smiled and said, "Isn't it just because you are completely unaffected that I asked you for advice?"
Hua Chong stood up from his seat and took a few steps by the desk, "The word 'completely' is inaccurate, I think, maybe no one can be completely unaffected after being immersed in the murderer's emotions."
Mingshu nodded, "But what you show is that you are not affected."
"I adjust faster?" Hua Chong leaned against the table, clasping his hands on his chest.
He is older than Mingshu, and his gestures are naturally a little more mature, but perhaps because he has participated in counter-terrorism at the border, he always has a kind of dignified and fearless heroic spirit, which makes him look both calm and graceful. There is absolutely no old age attached to it.
Is a wonderful person.
Ming Shu stared at Hua Chong's profile for a while, "How to adjust?"
"Well..." Hua Chong thought for a while, as if thinking of someone, his eyes suddenly became gentle, "I also had a difficult time adjusting. A few years ago, I was still the leader of the serious crime team. , my boss takes good care of me, and my teammates are not bad, but there are very few people who can keep up with my ideas."
After a moment's pause, Hua Chong changed his words, "No one can follow my train of thought."
Mingshu blinked.
"I was transferred from the special police detachment to the criminal police detachment, you know that." Hua Chong said: "Actually, at the earliest, I was not used to bringing myself into criminals. But there is not much help around me, I think To speed up the efficiency of solving cases, you can only seek changes. Bringing yourself into the murderer is the most effective method I can think of."
Sorry for some surprises.
"It was actually very painful at the time. I was a normal person, and I forced myself into that kind of distorted psychology, and I had to force myself to digest and understand. The case was solved, but I couldn't get out. Several times I felt like I was A pervert." Hua Chong took a sip of tea and continued: "But I'm the captain of the serious crime team, my team members are all looking at me, I absolutely can't show it."
Mingshu said, "Are you carrying it hard?"
"There is no other way than to fight hard." Hua Chong smiled. "Over time, I seem to get used to it. Except for insomnia and nightmares after solving a case, there is no worse reaction. But nightmares are really annoying. In my dream, I either witnessed others being killed and I was helpless, or I killed myself."
Mingshu asked: "Then now..."
Hua Chong's eyes were soft, reflecting the light coming in from the window, "Not now."
"Ok?"
"Because someone helped me share."
Mingshu wanted to ask more, and the door of the captain's office was pushed open.
Mingshu and Hua Chong looked at the past at the same time.
Being able to enter the captain's office without knocking on the door may be a "welfare" that only Liu Zhiqin has. The door was already open, and Liu Zhiqin knocked on the door pretending to be, "It turns out that Xiao Ming is here."
Mingshu didn't know how his unpretentious title came to Luocheng. Hearing this, his eyelids jumped, "Mr. Liu, are you looking for Team Hua again?"
"What do you mean by 'again'?" Liu Zhiqin seemed to have just returned from the outside, and his long coat carried a chilly air, "I and Hua team are colleagues, I came to him to report on work."
Mingshu glanced at Hua Chong's lips with a condoning smile.
Yes, it is indulgence.
Mingshu was sure that Hua Chong had always been condone to Liu Zhiqin.
"Then I'll go first." Mingshu said, "I went to the detention center to see Liu Shunjun."
Hua Chong asked, "Can't we go back to Dongye tonight?"
Mingshu wanted to rush back, but it was too late, "I have to spend the night in Los Angeles."
Hua Chong said, "It's a rare visit, let's have dinner together tonight?"
Mingshu suddenly remembered that he owed Liu Zhiqin a drink, and hurriedly responded, and prepared to give it tonight, so that Liu Zhiqin would always talk about his test scores.
"I'm not familiar with Luocheng, you can choose a place, I invite you."
"No." Liu Zhiqin smiled and said, "Today is not the time."
Mingshu felt that he and Liu, who were surnamed, would never be able to talk together, "The flower team said that we have dinner together tonight, why is it not the right time? When do you want it? Do I have to send you an invitation?"
"What you promised was to invite you to drink." Liu Zhiqin had reason and reason, "but now is the busiest time of year at the end of the year. Would your criminal police from the serious crime team in Dongye City dare to drink a meal?"
Mingshu was right when he thought about it, he and Xiao Yuan hadn't had a drink at home for a long time.
Hua Chong said to Liu Zhiqin, "Brother Xiaoliu, don't embarrass the Ming team. You drink and drink whenever you see the Ming team. Are you good at drinking?"
After speaking, he said to Mingshu: "Actually, it's just a light meal. You are a guest, so of course I invite you."
"That won't work!" Mingshu said quickly.
"It's settled." Hua Chong said, "I'll arrange for someone to accompany you to the detention center. You come back to me at night. Brother Xiaoliu and I are on duty, and we'll be there at night."
It was getting late, Mingshu and Fang Yuanhang immediately set off to the detention center and met Liu Shunjun.
This man was in his 40s, with a fierce look on his face, and he didn't even look at the police.
"Gu Zhenghan, do you remember?" Mingshu asked.
Liu Shunjun's broken eyebrows were raised high, "Who?"
Mingshu said, "Zeng Yong, you used to lend him a loan at high interest."
"Tsk, that little white face." Liu Shunjun wiped his face, "I remember."
Mingshu deliberately said in a firm tone: "Someone instructed you to lend money to him."
"Instigation?" Liu Shunjun immediately became excited, "Ningzhi City is Lao Tzu's territory, who would dare to instruct Lao Tzu?"
Mingshu said: "Boss Liu's 'business' is so big, and the whole city of Ningzhi is your network, how can you even remember a little white face so clearly?"
Liu Shunjun grinned with yellow teeth, "A lot of two million, he almost didn't pay it back. I remember the money-related things the most."
Mingshu said, "Did he really take the initiative to find you to borrow money?"
"You don't believe it?" Liu Shunjun said, "Then I have to ask you, who the hell said Lao Tzu was instructed to lend money? Lao Tzu has been in Ningzhi City for half his life, but he has never been instructed by anyone!"
Mingshu reported the name of Secretary He Yang, "Zhou Shan."
Liu Shunjun said impatiently, "Who?"
Mingshu sighed in his heart. When Hua Chong got the information about Liu Shunjun, he generally believed that this person had nothing to do with He Yang. Now that he met face to face and asked a few questions, he was able to confirm that Liu Shunjun was not a trap that He Yang arranged for Sheng Zhi.
It was past 11 o'clock in the night when I returned to the Los Angeles City Bureau. The "snack" Hua Chong said was the hot pot opposite the City Bureau. A large group of people from the Criminal Investigation Detachment ate "flowing water" there. After eating, they went back to work. Come and order and continue to eat.
On a cold day, the hot white air and fragrance are more attractive than anything else.
Fang Yuanhang had been running around for a day, and when he sat down, he moved his chopsticks, not polite at all.
Mingshu smiled and pushed his apprentice, "You are quite familiar."
Fang Yuanhang took away the beef that no one knew, "It's all my own, why am I being polite."
Liu Zhiqin said, "Xiaofang understands people."
Hua Chong poured hot soy milk into the empty cup and handed it to Ming Shu, saying, "Just boil it, Xiao Ming, be careful with the heat."
Mingshu almost choked, "Flower team, why are you Xiaoming Xiaoming?"
Hua Chong smiled: "What's wrong, there's nothing wrong with this name."
"You call me my apprentice Xiao Fang and Xiao Ming?" Ming Shu said, "Xiao Fang Xiaoming, I'm the same generation as this guy?"
Fang Yuanhang was choked up, "Master, you are of high seniority, you are of high seniority, I won't rob you!"
"You are the captain of the serious crime team, so you should even care about this?" Liu Zhiqin said, "Xiao Ming, it shouldn't be."
Mingshu has never lost his kung fu, but when he was in the special operations team, Liu Zhiqin was a teacher and he was a student.
"Mr. Liu, for the sake of the flower team, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Mingshu picked up his soy milk and gave Liu Zhiqin a blank look, "You also rely on the flower team to spoil you."
As soon as these words came out, the table suddenly became quiet.
Until Fang Yuanhang swallowed a whole hot coriander ball.
"Scalding me, scalding me! Master, you are about to lose your lovely apprentice!"
Mingshu threw an unopened bottle of mineral water to Fang Yuanhang, "Remove the word 'cute' to me."
The hot pot restaurant does not close, and in the second half of the night, the police who have finished patrolling come to fill their stomachs.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin returned to the Municipal Bureau. Mingshu went to a hotel near the Municipal Bureau. Before leaving, Mingshu said, "I have a hunch."
Liu Zhiqin asked, "What's your hunch?"
Mingshu spit out a cloud of white mist and shrugged, "Maybe it won't be long before we have to cooperate."
Hua Chong said: "Although I don't want a case that requires our cooperation to solve. But if it does happen, the Los Angeles police will do their best."
The next day, Mingshu and Fang Yuanhang returned to Dongye City.
In Dongye City, like Luocheng, leaders have to take the lead on duty before and after the Spring Festival. Mingshu didn't go to the bureau immediately, and planned to go home to pack some clothes, but as soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Xiao Yuan was actually at home.
"Brother." Mingshu knocked on the bathroom door, "You stayed overnight?"
He knows Xiao Yuan's routine too well, and usually only takes a shower after staying up all night.
"Well." Xiao Yu'an's voice came along with the sound of water, "Have you eaten yet?"
Mingshu didn't like to eat breakfast outside, and he set off from the hotel before dawn today, catching the first general high-speed train.
"No, what about you?" Mingshu asked.
"Order a takeout for two." Xiao Yu'an said, "I didn't eat either."
Mingshu nodded, leaned against the wall outside the bathroom and ordered takeout while saying, "What did you do last night?"
"The second team and the Beicheng Branch have a joint operation. I went to the scene." Xiao Yu'an said, "What did you gain there?"
Mingshu ordered it, briefly explained the situation found in Luocheng, and sighed: "If Sheng Zhi knew that Gu Zhenghan got married in less than a year and was about to become a father, would he regret it? , will not feel worthless for their decision.”
The door of the bathroom opened, and Xiao Yuan came out with all the heat, "I think he regretted it when he learned about the game's content."
The living room was not air-conditioned, and it was cold. Xiao Yuan was only wearing a bathrobe, with drops of water hanging around his neck.
Mingshu stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged Xiao Yuan, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner when you come back? Is it cold? Your boyfriend will keep you warm."
Xiao Yuan smiled, "I just came back, I forgot."
Mingshu didn't let go, and tightened his arms, "Have you felt the warmth of your boyfriend?"
Xiao Yuan patted his lower back, "Is this compensation?"
Mingshu didn't react for a while, "What compensation?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "I didn't give me compensation for warming my quilt yesterday."
"Oh, I understand." Mingshu said with a "tsk", "I said why did you stay up all night and come back now. It's because I'm not at home, you're afraid to come back and keep the empty room by yourself."
Xiao Yu'an said: "Why are you so smart?"
Mingshu was very busy yesterday, and the consumption on the road alone was overwhelming. He hardly slept for a few hours at night. Now he has been relying on Xiao Yu'an for a while, and finally has the energy again, let him go, "I'll go drive Air conditioner, I'll blow your hair later."
There were too few takeaways taking orders in the morning. When the brunch was delivered, Mingshu had already rushed into the bathroom to take a shower because he couldn't wait.
Xiao Yuan looked at the two pockets of fish fillet porridge and soup dumplings, poured the two porridges into a large porcelain bowl, heated them in the microwave, and fry two eggs before Mingshu washed them.
Mingshu changed into his pajamas, "How about snacks?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat."
There was not much food, so the two settled in the kitchen. When drinking porridge, Mingshu asked, "You won't go to the bureau for the time being, will you?"
"Well, take a rest and go back in the afternoon." Xiao Yu'an said, "Otherwise, I won't come back."
Mingshu said: "Then you clean up the kitchen later."
They live together. Although there is no clear division of housework, Mingshu is "clumsy" and can't cook, so Mingshu is usually responsible for washing dishes and tables after meals.
However, Mingshu sometimes cheats and leaves the work of washing dishes and tables to Xiao Yuan.
It's all trivial matters, Xiao Yu'an doesn't care about him, "Okay."
Mingshu leaned over and put one hand around Xiao Yu'an's neck, "Brother, are you pampering me too much?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "Do you think it's too much?"
Mingshu quickly shook his head, "Who would think too much?"
Xiao Yuan lowered his head and touched Mingshu's forehead.
The two had a rare chance to stick together in the morning, and it was inevitable that they would get tired of it.
Mingshu finished eating his portion, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, "Brother, the kitchen is handed over to you."
They are all take-out boxes. In fact, there is not much to clean up. All that needs to be washed is the large porcelain bowl for porridge and two pairs of chopsticks.
Xiao Yuan went out to throw the trash, wiped off the stains on the table, and as soon as he walked to the bedroom, he saw a hill raised by the quilt.
"Brother, I'll warm the quilt for you." Mingshu wrapped the quilt tightly, only his eyes were exposed, and his voice was stuffed under the quilt, which sounded very buzzing.
Xiao Yuan walked in, "That's why you asked me to clean up the kitchen?"
"That's right." Ming Shu half propped himself up, "It's already hot, you come in to feel the feeling?"
Xiao Yuan kissed him on the tip of the nose, "This is too sweet."
"Who told me to spoil you?" Mingshu moved aside, and when Xiao Yuan lay down where he had just slept, he quickly pulled the quilt tightly, then leaned over to kiss Xiao Yuan, from forehead to lips, and finally sat up, " Do you feel the love of your boyfriend?"
Xiao Yu'an touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "I feel it."
Mingshu raised his eyebrows, sat on the edge of the bed and wore slippers, "Then you have a good night's sleep, I'll go to the bureau first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a malicious hand grabbed his waist. Mingshu fell back and laughed, "Ouch".
When I arrived at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, it was more than an hour later than planned.
