That night, when Han Chen's car drove downstairs, it was already past eight o'clock.
Jin Xi didn't speak the whole time, and Han Chen let her alone. When the car stopped, she pushed open the door and jumped out: "I'm going to buy something, you go up first."
Han Chen hooked the car key with his tail finger, walked to her side, and looked down at her: "Where to?"
Jin Xi raised her head and smiled, "Just go to the small supermarket in front."
"I'll go with you."
"No need." Jin Xi said angrily, "I'm going to buy women's products, why are you going with me? I'm not comfortable. Don't go, go home and take a shower."
Han Chen stopped and watched her walk away briskly.
Putting his hands in his pockets, he smiled.
He has only lived here for a few days, and has already left "female items" everywhere. Are you shy to buy it now
As soon as Jin Xi walked into the small supermarket, she went straight to the alcohol and tobacco counter. The salesperson greeted graciously: "What do you want?"
Jin Xi looked at the cigarettes in the counter, her eyes glowing, she secretly swallowed her saliva, raised her finger and pointed, "Come here in a box of Yuxi." I want to smoke a box today.
Just as she was about to pay, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her hand.
"She doesn't, thank you."
Jin Xi was taken aback and turned to look at Han Chen who quietly walked behind her. And his eyes were slightly dark, and he still held her wrist, and the other hand was propped on the counter, and he didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
Jin Xi was arrested for a current situation, and she felt a little guilty. Holding his hand, he walked out of the supermarket.
"Han Chen, I'll just smoke one, okay?" She shook his hand.
"No." He answered simply without turning his head.
"Humph!"
After a while, the two walked into the garden of the community. Han Chen pulled her to sit down on a bench and looked sideways at her.
Jin Xi also stared at him, "Don't tell me you don't want to smoke at all? Have you ever secretly smoked behind my back?" He was much more addicted to smoking than hers. But these days, she occasionally sees other detectives smoking cigarettes, and she is so greedy that he is like a normal person.
In the darkness, Han Chen's eyes were extremely dark.
"Yes," he replied, "but I will do what I promise you."
These words made Jin Xi feel ashamed, but that desire was instantly extinguished. But he was still very annoyed, raised his hand and brushed his long hair back, and looked at him with some grievance: "But it's really depressing."
Han Chen stared at her, but smiled instead, reaching out and hugging her into his arms.
Jin Xi: "What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
nothing. Just looking up occasionally, you will find that your frown and smile are too vivid, not a phantom in a dream.
Jin Xi thought for a while, and then said, "Have you heard of the serial killings in Beijing's Daxin District two years ago?"
Han Chen put his hand on her shoulder and leaned back in the chair: "I heard it."
Daxin kills the door, the murderer is a severely mentally ill patient. Two consecutive murders were committed overnight. The scene of the case was chaotic, bloody and illogical.
Jin Xi said, "Professor Bo Jinyan, who was in charge of this case at the time, caught the criminal in just one day and one night. Because the criminal is a very typical 'disorganized' serial killer: insane, low IQ, and incapable of driving Motor vehicles, discarding corpses at will. I read the report and Professor Bo also rated this case as a typical case as simple as a textbook."
She looked sideways at Han Chen: "If that case is a typical case of disorganization, then the case we are facing now, on the surface, is a typical case of 'organized ability'. The crime scene and the suspect presented All the characteristics are just like textbooks: high IQ, attractiveness, long-term abuse and torture of victims, lack of central organizers, impulsive irritability, emotional shallowness..." She put her hand on her forehead irritably: "But , the same is such a typical criminal psychology portrait, the situation we encounter is obviously much more complicated..."
Righteously speaking, Han Chen pulled his hand and stood up.
"Let's go."
"where to?"
"Go out for a walk."
Jin Xi didn't expect that Han Chen would bring her to the Provincial Police Officers University "to relax".
It was not far from the provincial office and Han Chen's residence, and it took only ten minutes for the two of them to drive there. The campus seemed very quiet in the night, and there were only sparse lights in the buildings. Han Chen showed the police officer ID, and the guard let them in. It seemed that he came here often.
Along the tree-dappled boulevard, the two slowly walked side by side. Maybe the scenery was too peaceful, and Jin Xi's heart gradually calmed down. I always feel that I have a vague idea in my mind about this case, but I can't piece together the truth for the time being.
After being silent for a long time, he realized that Han Chen, who was beside him, had not spoken. The streetlights illuminated his silhouette, clear and picturesque. Jin Xi couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Han Chen glanced at her sideways.
"Think about it later."
"after?"
Han Chen looked at the dark road ahead, his tone was very light: "In the future, when we are old, we will come to the police academy to be teachers. You teach criminal psychology, and I teach criminal investigation. It's not bad."
Jin Xi stops.
Han Chen looked back at her.
They stared at each other, but said nothing.
Jin Xi bit her lower lip and smiled slowly.
"Han Chen, back me up."
Her thoughts jumped so fast that Han Chen was startled for a moment, and then he smiled. He pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets and squatted down in front of her: "Come up."
Jin Xi smiled and leaned forward, wrapping her arms around his neck. Han Shen stood up steadily and continued to walk forward with her back on his back.
Jin Xi breathed on his neck, he tilted his head to avoid it. Jin Xi can also see that he is smiling from behind. Then she hit him on the buttocks, and she didn't dare to do it again.
"Hey Han Chen." She looked up at the stars in the sky and tapped his hand on his shoulder, "Do you think you have carried me on your back before?"
"Definitely back."
She wondered, "Why?"
He replied slowly: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."
Jin Xi laughed and whispered into his ear: "Who are you talking about? Are you talking about you, or are you talking about me?"
"Tell us both."
The stars twinkled in the sky, and there was only a long shadow on the ground. Jin Xi lies on his shoulders, feeling the clear pulse on his neck, and slowly closes her eyes.
"Jin Xi."
"Um?"
"If you believe you're right, let go and prove it. Don't be afraid."
A deep voice, like the wind in this night, was sent into her heart. Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm not afraid. Hey, do you believe my judgment when you say that?"
"I only trust the evidence. It doesn't matter if you're wrong, it's me."
"...Is there such an encouragement? I want to come down, don't carry it... Let go, you... "
The same night, here is the breeze intoxicated. Elsewhere, the night is blurred.
Situ Yi's villa is located in the eastern suburbs of the city. It is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and there are some residential houses around. The environment is very elegant and quiet.
It was already after one o'clock at night, and the two policemen yawned and sat in a black car, looking at Situ Yi's house not far away.
"I came out of the police station and stayed inside all the time," a policeman said. "I don't know what I'm doing."
"It's no longer a lie detector, so why does Han Chen ask for 24-hour surveillance?" Another said.
"Hey, although Professor Xu is famous, we, Pretty Han Chen, are also famous detectives. Do you know whose judgment is right? Be prepared."
The two stayed for a while. In the end, I was too tired these days, I was a little tired, and I felt hungry in my stomach. One of them said, "I'm going to get something to eat. I just saw that there are two farmhouse restaurants in front of the door. I don't know if they can still cook vegetables."
He quickly walked out of the villa area. The farmhouse at the door was still open, and the boss hadn't slept yet. He replied, "The cooking is gone, and I still have some bacon and rice from home. I'll send it to you after steaming."
"Okay. Just do whatever you want."
After more than half an hour, a young man in a peaked cap appeared beside their car with two boxes of meals. It was pitch-dark, and the two detectives didn't care. They took it over and said thank you. They finished the meal with their heads down.
Silent night.
There was silence inside and outside the villa area.
It was quiet in the black sedan too. The two detectives leaned back in their chairs and slept soundly until dawn, before they turned pale with shock. They looked at the white lunch box that had been discarded in the trash can beside the car and looked at each other.
On the same morning, Han Chen and Jin Xi were awakened from their sleep by a phone call:
"Another body found!"
