Memory Lost

Chapter 11: between time and space

Views:

Zhou Xiaozhuan just walked up the stairs when he saw Han Chen standing by the wall, smoking a cigarette.

Although Zhou Xiaozhuan was a little apprehensive about this great god, he still admired him in his heart. He changed his sloppy attitude in front of Bai Jin Xi, and ran up to him, handing over the documents: "Han Shen, this is the information on the four new suspects."

Han Chen held the cigarette in one hand and took it: "En."

He turned around and walked into the room, Zhou Xiaozhuan thought for a while, and then said, "That... God Han."

Han Chen looked sideways at him.

"Although our boss has a temper, he is a good person and has good aptitude. In fact, she has always admired you." He said quickly, "Take more care."

Han Chen glanced at him, said nothing, and pushed the door into the house.

Zhou Xiaozhuan finally succeeded in flattering the great god for the boss, and left happily.

Opening the door, the room was silent. The sun just jumped into view.

Han Chen raised his head and saw a tall figure standing beside Bai Jin Xi's table, bent over. The sun shone on the two of them, and they could only see Xu Si Bai's handsome and hazy profile, just about to approach Bai Jin Xi's cheek.

About lunchtime, someone would suddenly break in. Xu Sibai suddenly turned his head.

Gaze.

Han Chen walked over to his desk with a blank expression and sat down, and threw the documents on the table.

The office area is not large, and the desks of the two are only more than one meter apart. Xu Sibai glanced at Han Chen and slowly straightened up. It's just that Jun's face was finally stained with a blush.

Han Chen lowered his head and started flipping through the information, as if the man in front of him didn't exist.

"Woooo..." A low choked sobbing sound suddenly broke the strange silence in the room.

The two men looked at the person who made the sound at the same time - Bai Jin Xi.

The sun just shone on her face, and on her pale jade-like face, two dark eyebrows were lightly frowned. That expression was really sad, a tear, accompanied by a sob in a dream, slowly slipped from her eyes.

Xu Sibai's expression instantly moved, he stepped forward, lowered his head and stared at her. Just as she was about to reach out to wipe away her tears, she heard a faint voice say, "Everyone is crying, can you still kiss?"

Xu Sibai paused and looked up at him. But Han Chen was still reading the newspaper with his head down, his expression stern, as if he didn't care about everything that happened in this room.

Xu Sibai finally reached out and gently wiped away her tears. In the dream, Bai Jin Xi seemed to feel the comfort of the outside world, and mumbled something, her eyes widened and she stopped crying.

With a bang, the door was pushed open again, and Zhou Xiaozhuan walked in.

Seeing that the boss in the room was sleeping like a cow, the two men were sitting and standing, facing each other in silence. He was a little surprised, but he didn't care, he greeted Xu Sibai with a smile and whispered, and put the documents in his hand on Han Chen's table: "Han Shen, there is one more."

Xu Sibai picked up the lunch box and turned to go out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Zhuan."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhuan looked at him smartly.

"Take care of your boss," he said. "Don't let anyone... bully her."

Zhou Xiaozhuan was stunned for a moment, and Han Chen also raised his eyes to look at him.

Xiao Zhuan took a peek at Han Chen and thought: Who can bully the boss? The one who bullied her these days was the one in front of her. Forensic Xu is jealous or jealous or jealous

He didn't reveal the slightest bit on his face, and said with a smile: "Forensic Doctor Xu, don't worry, you must take care of it properly."

Xu Sibai left. Zhou Xiaozhuan also went out to the mansion to get busy. Han Chen sat alone in the room, glanced at Bai Jin Xi who was still sleeping, lowered his head and continued to read the documents.

Bai Jin Xi is dreaming again.

Misty forests and cascading waterfalls. Underfoot is wet grass.

He was still sitting under the waterfall, staring at her silently.

"Who are you?" she asked.

He remained silent until the dark eyes slowly filled with tears.

"You'll get married when you graduate." A low-pitched male voice whispered in her ear, "In my life, you won't marry me."

Bai Jin Xi looks at him and slowly smiles.

He also smiled slowly.

Suddenly, Bai Jin Xi heard the voice of a woman crying.

She looked around, but found no one around. When he turned around again, he disappeared.

There is a lot of fog around, and you can't see the edge.

She suddenly realized that she was crying herself.

It was she, Bai Jin Xi, who was standing in the empty, grave-like forest, crying hysterically.

Dreams are a reflection of reality.

Dreams are subconscious self-exile.

But if she once loved someone so deeply, and if she had been heartbroken for him, why has she never thought of him all these years? Why are all the memories about him completely forgotten

Bai Jin Xi slowly opens her eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the familiar ceiling, tables and chairs, whiteboards, computers... but the light is very dim.

it's dark

She wiped her tears and sat up.

This time together, it was stunned.

It turned out that it was not dark, but that the curtains were drawn at some point, making the light in the house dim. On the other hand, Han Chen was sitting in the dimly lit corner, his figure was straight, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The lunch box on the table was gone, and Xu Sibai had already left.

Bai Jin Xi sucked her nose and said nothing.

What the hell is this guy doing so dark and quiet in the daytime

From the first day she met him, he seemed gloomy.

"Bai Jin Xi." He suddenly called her name in a low voice.

"Why?" Her voice, which had just been crying, was still a little hoarse. Such a conversation, in a dark room, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of emptiness.

"Cry enough?" he asked.

Bai Jin Xi froze slightly.

Sure enough, he still cried when he saw it, which was really embarrassing.

"I'll help you solve this case."

Bai Jin Xi was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and asked, "So good? What are the conditions?"

"Heh..." He chuckled and said quietly, "On the condition that you do one thing for me."

"What's up?"

"Private business."

Bai Jin Xi is silent for a while.

"Okay." She answered succinctly.

Han Chen tilted his head and lit a cigarette. He didn't speak any more while the flames flickered.

Bai Jin Xi stands up, stretches out her hand, and pulls the rope of the curtain, pulling it gently. "Wow—" The room suddenly brightened, and the dazzling afternoon sunlight jumped in. Probably because the light was too sudden, he saw Han Chen sitting by the window, his head slightly tilted.

Bai Jin Xi glances at him, slightly stunned.

Because there was a thin layer of sweat on the bridge of his nose and his forehead. Jun's face was also a little pale, and there was an abnormal blush in the paleness.

With the air conditioner on in the house, he couldn't have gotten so hot.

painful

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Jin Xi asked in surprise.

But he turned his head to look at the other side with an indifferent expression: "It's okay. Let's start, talk about the case."

The voice was very cold and calm, a little bit of anger and arrogance. Apart from hearing him point out three suspicious points on the first day at the crime scene, Bai Jin Xi has not yet heard him do a detailed analysis of the case. Thinking of his fame, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Hang up the map," he said quietly, taking a breath.

Bai Jin Xi hangs the map of Guanhu District on the whiteboard, and says while playing, "I said, Detective Han, although we are not on the same page, but I, as a person, especially take care of the overall situation. If you are not feeling well, go back to rest. If you want to In seeing a doctor, Director Zhao of Guanhu District Hospital is very familiar with me, and his medical skills are really good. If it is a Chinese medicine doctor, I also know someone who is very good. You don’t have to pay any other price to wipe out our bet. , is it done?"

The map was hung up, and she turned to look at him. However, he saw that his complexion seemed to be better, there was no more sweat, and his expression became more indifferent.

"No."

Bai Jin Xi: "...Humph."

At this moment, he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up and walked over. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he picked up a pencil from the table with the other. Because he was standing close, the well-fitting dark-colored shirt and black slacks complemented his wide shoulders, waist, narrow legs and long legs. He is obviously a handsome and outstanding man, but his temperament is so cold.

She really had never seen a detective like him, a detective like him.

He looked up at the entire map, his eyes calm.

Bai Jin Xi is really curious, how can he find the culprit among the 75 suspects.

Actually, since you have mentioned this step, Bai Jin Xi is not completely helpless. With her ability, 75 people will be interrogated one by one, and the most suspected person will definitely be found. But first, the workload is too much, but it may startle the snake. Third, the impact is too great, and the damage to the reputation of several victims will definitely be greater - that is a situation she is determined to avoid.

So if Han Chen didn't act, she would definitely have to think of something else. Since he's willing to make a move now... let's take a look.

At this time, he glanced at her sideways, his eyes were a little careless: "Are you a luna?"

Bai Jin Xi: "Well..."

"How crazy are you?"

"Uh... very?"

He didn't look at her again, holding the pencil between his long fingers, slowly turning it twice, then stopped.

"You can solve the case in one step," he said lightly.

Bai Jin Xi's heart is shocked, but he hears him continue: "But for Lu Chi, it's three steps. Listen carefully."

Bai Jin Xi twitches the corners of her mouth.

"First, everyone has their own daily action roadmap." His voice was low and gentle, and he raised his hand to circle some locations on the map, "Ma Xiaofei, Ji Yaxin. Home, department store, restaurant, supermarket. Everyone, There's a picture." He moved the tip of his pen on the paper, went to the Blue Star Machinery Factory, and circled it.

"Criminals also have their own action maps: factories, restaurants, Internet cafes..." He glanced at her sideways, "and the reason why he chose the two of them as targets must be because, in the beginning, their daily action routes were At a certain intersection of time and space, there is an overlap and intersection. He, found them."

Bai Jin Xi is startled.

His remarks are so complicated after hearing it, and then think about it, isn't it nonsense? Of course he bumped into them at some chance and then locked on to the target.

But when you think about it again, it comes back to you. Time, space, people, course of action... She seemed to have a three-dimensional map in her mind and put all three people in it.

It feels useful! But how it is useful, she still has a vague feeling.

Han Chen glanced at her and continued: "Secondly, after the initial overlap and intersection, after that, in order to step on the spot, and also for the sake of inner desire, his and their action lines will definitely overlap many times and frequently. Victims The testimony also confirmed this.”

Bai Jin Xi's heart shuddered, only to feel that a clear thought was about to burst out of the cocoon. But for a while, he couldn't express it clearly and rigorously, but his eyes became more and more bright and stared at him.

At this time, Han Chen's expression was indifferent, his pen was flying like a fly, and he connected the many points circled on the map, then threw the pencil, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said lightly, "Before you searched for the places near the crime scene. Surveillance video, but the criminals also thought of this, so this direction of detection is fruitless.

Map out the course of action for the two victims in the days leading up to the incident. There must be some cameras along the way. Among the 80 people, whoever appears in the same location with the victim at the same time period has the most pictures, and whoever is the criminal. "

He paused, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Even if he was shrewd enough to stalk the victim, he avoided these cameras. Before he stalks and peeps, he needs to go from the factory, take the bus or walk to the victim's activities. These locations. There are also cameras on this road. Whoever appears on these routes the most frequently over a period of time is the criminal.”

Bai Jin Xi has completely understood.

monitor.

In which case, do not mobilize surveillance? Which detective doesn't know to check surveillance

But no one has ever used his way of thinking to check surveillance. Jumped out of the conventional thinking mode, but successfully established a new search network for criminals.

One step, really one step.

She made dozens of inferences to target the suspects. He only grabbed a spot and was able to find the suspect. Yes, no matter how clever and unmarked the suspect is when committing the crime, it is impossible to avoid all the cameras when he is active all day and before committing a crime. The trajectory of his actions before and after committing the crime is indelible.

What Han Chen grasped was precisely the most crucial point.

Bai Jin Xi suddenly understands why some old detectives praise Han Chen. Because his thinking is really very simple.

Concise and powerful. He uses the simplest logic and methods that everyone knows, but he uses it so carefully and accurately and differently.

Bai Jin Xi is really excited. It's the kind of thrill and excitement after brainstorming and suddenly cheerful. She grabbed the pencil he had left on the table, stepped forward to the map, and retraced the route he had drawn. He stroked and said, "Okay, very good. God Han, it really happened twice."

Han Chen leaned against the table, tilted his head and lit a cigarette. It seems that he is used to hearing words of admiration like this, his expression is very calm, he looks at Bai Jin Xi's cheerful figure from behind, his eyes are slightly closed, and he does not speak.

Bai Jin Xi is still pondering happily: "When the suspect is identified, immediately search his home and catch him off guard. You will definitely find evidence..."

"Notify me when you're sure." He said lightly, and walked out of the office.

Bai Jin Xi looks at his tall and straight back without saying a word.

After Han Chen left the Guanhu Police Station, Bai Jin Xi and the others immediately started searching according to the method he said. And he took a taxi and went directly back to the hotel.

He lives in a hotel by the river. The scenery is elegant, clean and comfortable.

Pushing open the door of the room, the first thing you see is a plain white, clean wall. The crystal lamp shone orange and yellow, and the large bed, which was also plain white, was flat and silent. Only on the table in the entrance, there is his suitcase, and a few clothes are placed on the box, which gives the atmosphere of being inhabited.

He entered the room, took off his shoes, unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, walked slowly to the table, took out a bottle of painkiller from the drawer, poured two, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Then he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down on the small single sofa. He quietly stared into the distance for a while, and took out his phone from his pocket.

When he was discussing with Bai Jin Xi during the day, the phone vibrated. Now look, a bunch of missed calls.

The first one belongs to Qin Wenlong, the criminal investigation team leader of the Provincial Bureau. He dialed back.

"Han Chen, have you had enough? You only have a few days left on vacation." Captain Qin's serious voice contained a hearty smile, "Hurry back. There are a lot of cases waiting to be solved."

"Yeah." Han Chen took out a cigarette and swallowed it, "I'll be back on time."

Captain Qin said a few more words, and Han Chen responded one by one. At the end, he did not forget to tell Han Chen, "Remember to bring some of Jiangcheng's souvenirs."

Han Chen answered vaguely and hung up the phone.

The other dozen or so calls were all from the same person. In addition, there are seven or eight text messages. Han Chen looked indifferently, deleted all the text messages and call records, then threw the phone on the bed, smoked a cigarette, leaned on the sofa, looked at Jiang Jing in the distance, and slowly closed his eyes.

Soon fell asleep.

His head rested on the back of the chair, motionless. With both hands on the armrest, only the cigarette between his fingers was slowly burning.

Until the cigarette was exhausted, the flame of the cigarette butt slowly approached his finger.

A slight burning and tingling sensation suddenly struck, and Han Chen, who had fallen asleep, shook his hand suddenly and raised his head to wake up. Finding that the cigarette butt in his hand had burned out, he threw it into the ashtray with a light expression, then looked up at the window.

Outside the window, the night has fallen, and the river is like a dim girdle, wrapping around the brightly lit Jiangcheng.

He looked at the night and let out a long breath.

The east gradually revealed fish belly white.

The sun rises and sets, the sky darkens and dawns.

Jiangcheng is hot, congested and busy as always. The two rape cases that took place in a corner of the city were just water entering the sea, leaving no traces. They did not cause any waves in the city, and were not even known by most people.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

Again on Saturday. It has been a week since the first victim, Ma Xiaofei, happened.

These past few days, Bai Jin Xi, with Zhou Xiaozhuan and others, has been extremely busy. They sifted through all the surveillance footage along the victim's and criminal's route, and did careful reasoning. Although Bai Jin Xi is a geography idiot, Zhou Xiaozhuan and the other detectives have a normal sense of geography, so the work progresses very quickly.

As for Han Chen, he simply didn't come to the office for the past few days. As rumored, it's elusive. Bai Jin Xi only occasionally hears from the police in the area that she sees Han Dashen poking out into the slums and red light districts in the eastern suburbs of the city. Nobody knew what he was doing. Bai Jin Xi's doubts in her heart also temporarily pressed down, focusing on the case.

By Saturday evening, the effort paid off.

The same young man appeared more and more frequently on the surveillance screen.

The biggest suspect in this case has finally surfaced.
