"Get up quickly!" The policeman Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly helped the man up and dragged a chair, "Sit down and talk slowly, how can you kneel down, how can we be police officers when others see it?"

The man was well-dressed, and his outfit was a few thousand, but his skin was sallow and his face was full of cramped eyes, which didn't quite match his clothes.

"My hometown is busy with farming. I went back to my hometown to work in August, and I have very little contact with my Xiaomin. The last time I called him, it was fine, but before I came back the day before yesterday, I called him, and I couldn't get through. , I came back to have a look, and there was no one at home." The man gasped and said, "Comrade police officer, you said he was a good person, why did he disappear inexplicably? Something must have happened! Please, help me find him. Come back, I kowtow to you!"

Zhang Xuejiao has been a police officer for half her life, and every three to five years, nearby residents came to the police, saying that the old man in the family was lost, the child in the family was missing, and the girl in the family didn't come home in the middle of the night, but it was rare to say that the son was lost.

"Don't worry, the more you hurry, the more you can't tell." Zhang Xuejiao called the policeman Xiao Jin, who had just been assigned to the precinct, and asked the man to make a note.

"Just making a record?" The man looked at Zhang Xuejiao helplessly, "I heard people say that even if I call the police, you won't necessarily file a case."

Zhang Xuejiao sighed and put a cup of warm water on the table, "Master, whether to file a case or not depends on the situation. You should clarify your son's situation first."

The man was very anxious, but he had to do it.

Guofu Street is a noisy and noisy street, but the police station is very quiet.

The man's surname is Qiu, his name is Qiu Guoying, he is 63 years old this year, and his hometown is in Qingshui Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Luocheng. Although Qingshui Town is under the management of Luocheng City, it is much closer to Dongye City than Luo City.

Qiu Guoying has a son named Qiu Min, who is only 25 years old this year. Qiu Guoying's wife was an elderly mother who died of dystocia when Qiu Min was born.

As early as more than ten years ago, Qiu Guoying sold the house in his hometown and brought Qiu Min, who was still studying, to Dongye City.

Qiu Guoying is diligent and flexible. He helped people build houses in his hometown. After entering the city, he made money by working as a carpenter in a private home improvement company. The real estate in Dongye City has been booming year after year, and people's demand for house decoration is getting stronger and stronger. Qiu Guoying is good at craftsmanship. After a few years, he bought a second-hand house in Dongcheng District, and his life with Qiu Min is completely settled.

Qiu Min didn't have a mother, so when he was a child, he was a little cowardly and never dared to go out - this is one of the reasons why Qiu Guoying insisted on bringing Qiu Min to the big city.

Another reason is that Qiu Min's mother's family dislikes Qiu Min very much and thinks that Qiu Min is a murderer.

Qiu Min's uncle Li Aiyou even appeared in Qiu Min's school many times and threatened to kill Qiu Min.

"You little scourge, you killed my sister! Just wait for me, I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Leaving his hometown, freed from his familiar environment and his disgusting relatives, Qiu Min became cheerful day by day. His grades in junior high and high school were among the best in the school, and he even went to a prestigious university in the north to study law.

Qiu Guoying thought that her son would stay in the north to develop, but Qiu Min only stayed in the north for half a year after graduation, and then returned to Dongye City. .

Qiu Guoying not only felt sorry for her son, but also felt very caring. Thinking that Dongye City is also a big city, my son should come back if he wants to.

As a result, the father and son lived a life of mutual dependence again, Qiu Guoying continued to work as a woodworker, and Qiu Min found a job at Weixiang Law Firm in the city center, earning a lot of money. Qiu Guoying has only attended elementary school, and has no concept of the "high-level" legal profession. He only knows that his son is powerful and promising, and he is the pride of himself and his deceased wife.

Qiu Min told Qiu Guoying two years ago that he earned enough money to support his family, and he no longer needed to go out to work. But Qiu Guoying's body is still quite strong. On the one hand, he can't relax, and on the other hand, he wants to save money for his son's marriage, so he still does woodworking work. .

"Qiu Min is very filial, and will never leave the house without telling me." Qiu Guoying almost burst into tears, "I beg you to file a case and help me find him!"

While comforting Qiu Guoying, Xiao Jin asked, "When was the last time you contacted Qiu Min?"

Qiu Guoying turned out the call records in the mobile phone, "Look, it's this day."

September 29, 7:04 pm.

"It's all my fault. I don't usually like to make phone calls, but Xiao Min called me that day and asked me how I was doing in my hometown and whether anyone from the Li family came to trouble me." Qiu Guoying was very annoyed, "If I call me every day I called Xiaomin, and he didn't answer one day, I knew something had happened to him, and I rushed back!"

Xiao Jin picked up his mobile phone and saw that starting from October 16, Qiu Guoying had made numerous calls to Qiu Min, but all of them could not be connected.

"You said Qiu Min works at Weixiang Law Firm, have you inquired about it?" Xiao Jin said, "Is it possible that he was sent on a business trip by the law firm?"

Qiu Guoying's face was even more sad. "People from the law firm said that Xiaomin doesn't work there. But it's impossible. Xiaomin clearly showed me the work card and the clothes issued by the law firm. They saw me as an old man. , just perfunctory me. They must know about Xiaomin's disappearance!"

"Don't work there?" Xiao Jin was a little confused and turned to look at Zhang Xuejiao, "Sister Zhang, this..."

Many of the family conflicts that Zhang Xuejiao has resolved are husbands and wives, fathers and sons concealing unemployment from each other. The situation described by Qiu Guoying is very much like Qiu Min did not find a job in a law firm at all, or once found a job, but was fired for some reason, but kept it secret from Qiu Guoying.

But Qiu Guoying also said that Qiu Min has a good income and the family has a good meal.

You can talk nonsense, but the fact is in front of you - Qiu Guoying's clothes are really not cheap.

So where did Qiu Min get the money

Is Qiu Min's disappearance related to the money

There was a drug-related case in Dongcheng District a few years ago. A drug-making and drug-trafficking gang hid in a residential building and was actually active for two years. In the process of destroying the gang, the special police detachment of the branch sacrificed two anti-drug police officers.

Zhang Xuejiao was a witness at the time. She hated drug dealers extremely, and was extremely sensitive to any drug-related cases. As soon as Qiu Guoying finished speaking, her first thought was, is Qiu Min involved in drug trafficking

Drugs are the fastest to get money, and the horses are the easiest to throw away as discarded chess pieces.

Zhang Xuejiao immediately asked, "Am I familiar with Qiu Min's friends?"

Qiu Guoying shook her head, "Xiao Min is very busy and is often away from home, especially at night. I work during the day, but I can't always see him when I go home at night. He has never brought friends to his house."

Zhang Xuejiao took a deep breath, "Okay..."

"Can you file a case?" Qiu Guoying was worried, "You must file a case!"

Zhang Xuejiao tried her best to soothe her: "Don't worry, Qiu Min's matter will be handed over to us to investigate."

Xiao Jin was a little surprised and looked at Zhang Xuejiao suspiciously.

"From childhood to adulthood, the only thing Xiao Min has offended is his mother's family." Qiu Guoying said, "Could it be that his uncle Li Aiyou did it?"

"I have written down all your responses here." Zhang Xuejiao said, "You go back first, and we will draw up an investigation plan."

After sending Qiu Guoying away, Zhang Xuejiao considered it again and again and reported the case to the Dongcheng Branch.

Serious Crime Squad, Deputy Director's Office.

Mingshu looked at Xiao Yuan and tapped his fingers rhythmically on his cheeks.

"In the case of Qiyueshan, it can be seen from the scene that the murderer has very strong emotions to express. When you are investigating, you have been analyzing the emotions of the murderer - the first is the psychological aberration murderer who is sexually suppressed. The second is to hate lesbians. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but whenever a suspect is found, a problem will pop up." Xiao Yuan said: "That is the suspect does not seem to have the ability to commit such a crime. Case. Coupled with the contradictions we discussed just now, Team Ming, have you ever thought about why this is?"

Mingshu closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "We followed the situation at the scene and profiled the murderer with conventional ideas, but found that the logic is different from similar cases... The murderer is actually misleading us. ?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, the murderer deliberately put the corpse in that posture, with obvious ritual and expressive desire. Any police team that starts an investigation must analyze the murderer's psychology and come to our previous conclusions. But this It's just a trick for the murderer. He hopes the police will mistake him for a psychopath with repressed personality. In fact, he is not sexually flawed, and he doesn't need to be sexually repressed against the bodies of two women. Psychopaths are used to actions."

Mingshu said: "Then what is the reason for his crime? In this way, the motive is completely blurred."

Xiao Yu'an said: "I said just now, I'm just warning you to avoid you falling into a dead end. This case still needs to be investigated according to conventional logic, after all, there are still some blind spots. But under conventional logic, all possible are ruled out, you have to 'brake the brakes' immediately and come to my unconventional line of thinking."

Mingshu covered his forehead for a while, and said loudly: "Thank you Xiao Bureau for your guidance, I understand."

Qiyue Mountain, Haijing Temple.

From a personal point of view, Fang Yuanhang was actually not willing to doubt the monks in Haijing Temple. His grandfather and grandmother believed in Buddhism, and there were Buddhist altars at home. When he was young, his grandfather and grandmother took him to many temples. He slept on the mat with the little monk in the temple, ate fast food, and even imagined that one day he would shave his hair, not study or take exams, and went to Shaolin Temple to become a warrior monk. .

Although his wish to be a warrior monk failed, he became a policeman and a member of the Criminal Investigation Bureau's serious crime team.

All in all, Fang Yuanhang has always held a respect for monks. He even felt that his righteousness was born from eating and living with monks when he was a child.

But as a criminal policeman, he had to think over every doubt in his mind.

"Last time, I have already explained it." Seeing Fang Yuanhang again, Wu Hao's face was very ugly, "I told them that the mountain is dangerous, but they must go up. I am a monk, and I am not the administrator of this mountain. Can't stop them?"

Fang Yuanhang asked: "How do you arrange your work and rest time here?"

Wu Hao was stunned for a while, "I like to read and sleep late, but my brothers and masters went to bed early."

"How early is it?"

"It looks like at 8:09, we don't have a TV here, and the mobile phone signal is not good. We have to find 2G signals, not to mention 4G."

Fang Yuanhang asked, "Do you mind telling me your worldly name?"

Wu Hao opened his mouth and was stunned for a while before he said, "Since I have already worshipped Buddhism, I have already given up on worldly names and worldly things."

Fang Yuanhang suddenly said sternly: "But you are still a citizen of our country!"

Wu Hao shrank his neck in Fang Yuanhang's explosive momentum, got up after a while and said, "Then wait for me."

While waiting for Wu Hao, Fang Yuanhang looked at the structure of the room he was in.

Many ancient temples are of tenon-and-mortise structure, so there is no need to use a single nail. But Haijing Temple is obviously not, it has nails in many places.

Ten long iron nails for construction were nailed to the two deceased people, and these long iron nails were more than ten years ago and can no longer be found on the market.

Fang Yuanhang thought about it, and walked towards a wooden pillar. The wooden pillar was already very old at first glance, and there were several old nails on it.

Fang Yuanhang touched it with gloves on, and then pulled out the photos of the nails on the victim's body for comparison.

It's not the same kind, it's quite different.

Fang Yuanhang pursed the corner of his mouth and took several photos.

Ten minutes later, Wu Hao came back with a tin box.

"My documents are all inside." Wu Hao said, "You can go and verify it."

Fang Yuanhang opened the tin box and saw Wu Hao's ID card, undergraduate student ID card, driver's license, passport, bank card and other items.

Wu Hao, whose real name is Fang Pingxu, is 24 years old, a native of Los Angeles. He studied at Los Angeles Normal University for his undergraduate degree.

Fang Yuanhang asked, "Your home is in Luocheng, why did you come to Dongye to become a monk?"

Wu Hao said: "Although Luocheng has many famous universities, Luoshi is a second-class school. I applied for the university in Dongye City. Last year and the year before last, I stayed in Dongye City."

"What about your family?"

"I'm an orphan and grew up in a welfare home."

Fang Yuanhang was quite surprised, looked at Wu Hao's ID card again, and finally photographed them one by one.

Enlightenment is not the only purpose of Fang Yuanhang's visit to Haijing Temple.

Fang Yuanhang doubts Wu Hao, not because Wu Hao has a clear motive for committing the crime, but simply because Wu Hao has the conditions to commit the crime. According to this logic, other monks in Haijing Temple also have the conditions to commit crimes.

Mingshu asked him to let him go to investigate, and if he had any ideas, he would take action, and his own master would control the overall situation.

This undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

In addition to Enlightenment, there are also five brothers of Enlightenment who are still in Haijing Temple.

Wu Nian, 31 years old, has been in Haijing Temple for more than ten years. He is taciturn and mechanically sweeps.

When Fang Yuanhang asked any question, he just answered "Amitabha" indifferently.

Wu Yu and Wu Nian were about the same age, but he became a monk later, only two years earlier than Wu Hao. He was wearing a gray cloth, not like a monk's uniform, but an improved fashion.

"Me, I just saw through the world." Before Fang Yuanhang asked, Wu Yu said it himself, "I used to be rich, driving a Lamborghini, sleeping with handsome men and beauties, both men and women, I want Nothing to get? But I'm not happy, you know?"

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

"You don't understand at first glance." Wu Yu said with a smile: "Because you haven't owned these, you are a poor boy struggling on the line of food and clothing."

Fang Yuanhang felt that he was probably at odds with this Qiyue Mountain, otherwise he would be "shot" when he encountered something related to Qiyue Mountain.

After only laughing twice, Wu Yu's face was suddenly covered with a cloud, and even his voice changed, "The burden on my shoulders is too heavy, I can't carry it, it's better to put it down. Look at how handsome I am as a monk, I don't need anything. No matter, lie in this yard all day and watch the leaves grow and fall, the flowers bloom and fade, the clouds swell and the clouds swell, so happy! Hey little brother, aren't you tired?"

Fang Yuanhang said, "You mean my job?"

"Referring to your life." Wu Yu smiled again, "Why don't you become a monk just like me? Be my little junior brother, and I will cover you."

Fang Yuanhang's forehead jumped down, following Wu Yu's words: "Don't you have a junior brother?"

"You said Wu Hate?" Wu Yu said disdainfully, "Tsk, he can't get into my eyes?"

Fang Yuanhang hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Want to know why?" Wu Yu said, "First call Master Sheng to let me listen."

Fang Yuanhang said sternly: "I'm investigating the case."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Wu Yu sat up neatly, "Wu Hao is not devoted to Buddha at all, he is a layman with a wrong mind, and he lives here just to escape reality. Look at him, he lives It won't be long before you leave on your own."

"The mind is not right?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Hey donor, don't you think..." Wu Yu said and pointed his index finger up, "The two women on the mountain were killed by Wu Hao?"

Fang Yuanhang's face changed, "What do you know?"

Wu Yu shook his hand and said, "I don't know anything, I'm just a heartless flower monk."

There are also two older monks in Haijing Temple, 52-year-old Wu Shi and 49-year-old Wu Han. Compared with Wu Hao, Wu Nian, and Wu Yu, they are more in line with Fang Yuanhang's monks. image.

As for Master Guanchen, the host of Haijing Temple, he is now 73 years old and is retreating in the meditation room in the backyard.

Dongcheng Branch, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

The case of Qiu Min's disappearance was put on file for investigation. This investigation revealed that when Qiu Min returned to Dongye City from the north three years ago, he was indeed working in Weixiang Law Firm, but he offered to resign before his probationary period expired.

"It's not a question of work ability." said Pu Shan, the lawyer who was in charge of guiding Qiu Min back then: "He is very smart, has his own ideas, and feels that the lawyer's career is not suitable for him. We still have contact this year, just in the first half of the year. Also invited me to dinner. What, did something happen to him?"

The police officer of the sub-bureau asked, "Do you know what job he did after he resigned?"

"Write a public account? Or a Weibo account?" Park Shan said, "I don't know."

Soon, the police found Qiu Min's real job through his online records. After giving up his job, the top student at a prestigious university actually became an Internet celebrity.

Qiu Min's online name is "Qiu Shan Insomnia", and he has registered a Weibo account of the same name, a public account, and a live broadcast account.

Three years ago, he released his first food tasting video, and now he is a very popular food, drink, and entertainment video among young people in Dongye City. His last Weibo was published on October 4th, and he recommended Beicheng District A jujube stewed chicken shop.

Qiu Min is handsome and shows his face in all videos. He said in the video that autumn is here, everyone should pay attention to health care. Today, my "Amway" is...

There are a lot of comments on this Weibo. In chronological order, the most recent comments are all fans asking him when he will post more, and some people worry about whether he has an accident.

Knowing that Qiu Min's disappearance had nothing to do with drug dealers, Zhang Xuejiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qiao team, should we investigate this case by ourselves, or report it to the top?" Shen Nan was uncertain and came to ask Lan Qiao.

The Criminal Investigation Detachment of Dongcheng Sub-bureau has formed a squadron of female police officers, and the experienced Lan Qiao is the captain.

At this time, the communication and interpersonal relationship of Qiu Min before his disappearance was under investigation. Lan Qiao browsed the video made by Qiu Min at a high speed, and noticed that at this time last year and the year before last, Qiu Min "Amway" Qiyue Mountain many times. At the beginning of the month, when the ginkgo leaves in Qiyue Mountain had not turned yellow at all, Qiu Min "Amway" again.

In the video, Qiu Min smiled brightly as he walked through the quiet path of Qiyue Mountain, capturing the melancholy prosperity of late summer.

The popularity of this video is very high, and it is Qiu Min's second most popular work in the past three months.

The first place is the "Cheng Jianghu" Jianghu restaurant in Nancheng District.

"Qiyueshan only has a case, and the Criminal Investigation Bureau is busy with that case." Lan Qiao said, "All sub-bureaus are cooperating in screening related disappearance cases."

Shen Nan would be wrong, "The Criminal Investigation Bureau can't take action, so we won't report this case?"

Lan Qiao shook her head, "No, Qiu Min is familiar with Qiyue Mountain, and the time of his disappearance is also a bit strange, so he must report it, at least let the Ming team know about it."

The female police squadron of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Dongcheng Branch is a scenic spot in the winter Ye police circle. Mingshu is in the same class as Lan Qiao. She was rejected by Lan Qiao on the grounds that she "couldn't let go of the female police squadron".

Mingshu has always felt some regrets about this.

The serious crime team needs elites. At present, the team is full of men. This has advantages and disadvantages. In an all-sex environment, everyone does not need to worry too much about anything. If there is a woman on the team suddenly, then both sides They may not be able to let go, but when investigating some special cases, it is very troublesome to have no policewoman in the team. Lan Qiao has excellent qualities. Even if she is thrown into the crowd of men, she is still an elite group. A female police officer, then she is naturally the best candidate.

But people wanted to lead the female police squadron, so Mingshu could only respect their decision.

Because of Qiu Min's case, Lan Qiao came to the serious crime team in person.

Mingshu is talking to Yi Fei—Yi Fei found out at the Zijiao campus of Dongye University that Zhan Li is not an ordinary student. He participated in the National Women's Martial Arts Competition in college and entered the top 50.

Lan Qiao waited for a long time before Mingshu hurried over and joked: "Rare guest, don't you just figure it out all of a sudden, are you going to join our serious crime team?"

Lan Qiao smiled and said, "I know that you are busy with the case of Qiyueshan recently. I have a missing case here. The investigation is still handled by our squadron, but I think you need to take a look."
