The police and the prosecutor's hunt for the mysterious man continued, but that man seemed to have evaporated from the world. Not only was he skilled and decisive in his crimes, but he was also very smart, leaving no trace of himself at all.
There were no further homicides in the next two weeks.
But when Shen Xia finished sorting out the materials for suing Jinchen Group, when the court summons was delivered to Jin Dacheng's home, he had died tragically at home. Compared with Zhou Tong and Jiang Tao's death, they all have the same place, but this time, Jin Dacheng's limbs were all chopped off.
The mysterious man seems to cut off a certain part of the victim every time he kills another person, so as to achieve his perverted criminal pleasure.
The serial murder case has received high attention from the media, and it has caused panic. The police officer in charge of the case, Chen Bo, and the prosecutor, Shen Xiashi, have been pushed to the social hot search list time and time again.
The masses scolded the investigation by the police and the prosecution as a tofu project. While making up jokes on the Internet to ridicule the inaction of the two parties, they said that they were too afraid to go out during the day, lest the murderer find them, so they said nothing. Divide the body by five horses.
Jiang Xin flipped through the hot topics on Weibo, then exited the Weibo interface, closed her eyes and lay down on the sofa, the whole world seemed to have quieted down.
She was weak: "You're right, netizens are just a bunch of idiots, running wherever there are melons, we've all stayed up all night, and they call you a prosecutor with unspoken rules, it's really pissing off!! "
Shen Xia smiled: "I'll stay up all night to investigate, why are you staying up all night?"
Jiang Xin waved her hand: "I was busy registering a Weibo account to help you scold me back, so I just said a word, and tens of thousands of netizens caught me and scolded me alone. Is it easy for me?"
She pulled Yang Jin who had finished crying a box of tissues, pointed at his swollen eyes and complained: "Look! Our family Yang Jin has been scolded and cried like this! How terrible is the current cyber violence!"
Yang Jin has been participating in the scolding battle on Weibo since the day before yesterday. At first, he pointed an orchid flower and pointed at Wu Yangwei: "Fuck your grandma's idiot netizen, see if I can't beat you to death!!!"
Then it became: "Fuck your grandma's idiot netizen!! Why scold me if it's none of my business!!!"
Shen Xia lowered her head and concentrated on sketching in a pile of documents: "I told you to calm down a bit, and it's not like you haven't been scolded before, and you've gotten used to it a long time ago. When Mu Ze comes back, let's finish dinner." Go back to rest at night, you are tired too."
The two of them finally stopped howling, and when they accompanied Shen Xia to rearrange the stacks of documents, the door of the office was pushed open, and Mu Ze and the people from Huaijiang came in with food.
It's two o'clock in the morning at night, Shen Xiashi was wrapped in a small blanket and was typing on the office chair, when he saw him come back, he raised his head and smiled, and then started to get busy again.
Mu put the hot supper on her table, and pressed her slender hands on her keyboard: "Eat first."
"Eat first, I'll finish typing this file."
She has been so busy these two days that she almost always sleeps in the office, and Mu Ze doesn't worry about her being alone, and will always be with her. As a result, everyone often nests in Shen Xiashi's office. Usually, it is more humane, and it seems that work is more interesting.
After saying such a sentence, Shen Xia didn't have the slightest intention to stop. Mu Ze stared at her focused side face for a while, but didn't speak. Suddenly, he bent down and hugged her whole, put her on the sofa beside him, and sat on the sofa by himself. Shen Xiashi's office chair.
He pushed the supper in front of her: "eat."
Then she glanced at the documents on her desk, and she tapped the keyboard quickly with her slender fingers. The typing speed stunned Shen Xiashi, and she leaned over with her messy hair: "You are amazing, wow! It took ten minutes to finish typing the content."
Mu Ze kept typing, turned his head to look at her, and Shen Xia looked at him with curiosity and admiration.
Looks a little dull, a little cute.
He leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips: "Eat, I will help you with the rest of the work."
Only then did Shen Xia sit down at the side in peace.
Mu Ze wanted to help her at first, but at that time she was in a state of excitement, and if anyone touched her information, she would stare at him fiercely, and then put the information on her desk like a calf, She was afraid that others would mess them up, saying that it would disturb her to organize her thoughts.
Jiang Xin said that this is a state where she has been obsessed with work, so it's fine to just ignore her for a while, but if you want to talk to her, I will show you a live breakdown.
Mu Ze also suppressed his distress.
I just hope that Shen Xia will take over when he gets tired.
As for the fact that she stayed up late to work, he also disagreed a hundred times, but Shen Xiashi made it clear with reason and emotion, and every word was sonorous and forceful, as if he would not give up until the mysterious person was sent to prison The appearance made him frown, and finally knew that he couldn't stop her.
For those scolding battles on the Internet, Mu Ze has also met many celebrities over the years, so he has no problem trying to get the hot search down, but Shen Xiashi insists not to do so.
According to her experience of being scolded for so many years, if she forcibly lowers her trending search or directly removes it, then netizens will be more interested in scolding her. Although she is not afraid of being scolded for her fancy rhetoric, it doesn't mean that those netizens can continue to develop their brains out of nothing.
Secondly, it is good that the serial murder case can get widespread attention from the society. Everyone lives in a very comfortable life. If this kind of incident can be used as a wake-up call, it will save a lot of publicity for the prosecution and the police. Media fees.
Thirdly, with the supervision of public opinion, maybe the mysterious person will be a little bit afraid of it, and they'd better arrest him before he strikes again.
After eating, all the drowsiness in Shen Xiashi's body seemed to have reached its peak. The big guys were talking and making jokes from time to time. The lively atmosphere didn't affect her, and she fell asleep immediately after closing her eyes.
The fat man was telling a joke to Er Si, the two elders laughed deafeningly, Mu Ze threw two pens and hit them on the head, and lowered his voice: "Shut up."
He got up and hugged Shen Xia when he went out, while the rest stayed behind to clean up the leftovers in the office.
In the dark and heavy night, in the quiet atmosphere, the sound of the wind can still be heard clearly. Shen Xiashi slept very soundly, but Mu was afraid that the cold wind would freeze her, so he wrapped the blanket on her body even tighter.
In the dark night, the outline of her face seemed to be stained with the charm of ink painting, with a soft and graceful beauty, and the appearance of quietly lying in his arms also looked extraordinarily fragile.
A voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side, with a smile and playfulness: "So this is Shen Xiashi."
Inexplicably, the man spoke with a bit of yearning in his tone.
Mu Ze looked at the other side with a blank expression. The man was dressed in black, and there was a darkness behind him, which made him almost merged with the darkness.
When the mysterious man slightly raised his head and stared at Shen Xia in Mu Ze's arms, he said with a smile: "It seems that you haven't told her who I am."
Not far away, the two looked at each other silently for a while, but Mu Ze didn't say a word after all, and prepared to leave after hugging Shen Xia into the car.
The other party rushed over suddenly, pressed both hands on the car window that was about to close, and tapped a pale finger on the cold glass, and smiled strangely: "You can't beat that person!"
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the impatience in his throat made him cough after saying this sentence.
The dull sound rang in the quiet night, as if it was locked by an evil spirit. When Mu Ze looked at the sleeping Shen Xia, she seemed to be a little impatient by the noise, and she frowned in her sleep. Eyebrow looks very unhappy.
Mu Ze's fingertips gently stroked her eyebrows, fearing that any further delay would make her catch a cold, so he closed the car window without saying a word.
His indifference seemed to have agitated the other party, and the mysterious man suddenly raised his fist and beat on the gradually closing car window, grinning unwillingly: "If we still can't get salvation, then don't even think about it! Mu Ze! She won't love you when she knows all! Your poor love will be worthless!"
The car drove away, and the mysterious man wanted to pull his car, but was finally thrown away by the rear of the car. He turned over on the ground, gasped for a while, and started laughing loudly, roaring: "I see you can still be happy!" How long! Let's go to hell together! No one will be left alone!"
*
Shen Xiashi had a dream.
In the dream, she caught the serial murderer, but when he raised his head, his face without facial features slowly turned into someone she was all too familiar with—Mu Ze.
Shen Xiashi woke up from this nightmare, sat up straight with sweat all over her body, her consciousness was still fuzzy, and her seven souls and six souls seemed to have not yet returned to their places. She sat on the bed blankly, and Mu Ze's voice sounded in her ears: "Do it!" Nightmare?"
He stretched out his hand and wanted to brush the hair off her face, but Shen Xia stared at his fingertips and suddenly shrank back.
Mu Ze's hand froze in the air, paused for a while and finally dropped it, and asked hoarsely, "Are you hungry?"
"What time is it?" Shen Xia also lowered her head, her face pale.
"At eight o'clock in the morning, go to the procuratorate after dinner. I'll accompany you."
She hummed and fell silent again.
Mu Ze stared at her like this, and suddenly asked: "Last night, did you hear that person talking?"
Her body froze visibly.
Indeed, she heard what the mysterious man said to Mu Ze last night. Although she was really sleepy, she didn't sleep very soundly. Subconsciously, she was always thinking about the things she hadn't finished. When she woke up, it happened to be I heard the mysterious man speak.
What happened between them from beginning to end, although Shen Xiashi couldn't see it with his eyes closed, he heard it clearly.
She didn't know what relationship Mu Ze had with this mysterious person, she didn't know who the "that person" the mysterious person was talking about, and she didn't know what the "past" the other party meant
But one thing is certain.
Mu Ze did hide many things from her.
She didn't know if she should ask, and she wasn't sure if he would tell herself, fearing that after she asked some words, Mu would turn his face ruthlessly, and what was even more fearful was that the relationship between them would end here, so she hesitated all night.
Mu Ze waited for her to answer without urging her.
Shen Xia sat on the bed with her legs crossed, slowly shook her head, and smiled palely: "What do you mean, I don't understand."
It was obviously a lie, and Mu Ze could see through it at a glance.
As a prosecutor, she should seize all clues to pursue the case, even if the clues involve relatives and friends, she has to proceed impartially.
Originally, Shen Xiashi also thought that she could do it.
But now, she hesitated...
Mu Ze also didn't want to put her in a dilemma, sighed softly, grabbed her arm and brought her into his arms: "The serial murder case has nothing to do with me, as for my past, are you ready to listen?"
Her uncertain voice came from her arms: "Are you still by my side after speaking?"
"Yeah." His voice was quite low: "You are here, and I'm not going anywhere."
Those memories that have been buried in his heart for a long time and have not been touched for a long time have been restarted again after many years. However, the word "story" must have some ups and downs and thrills. Mu Ze slowly told it in a low voice. very serious.
But this is not a good story after all, it is quite cruel, Mu Ze didn't want to scare her, so he tried his best to omit a lot of bad details, but in the end it was a satisfactory completion.
The person who had heard the story was stunned for a long time, while Mu Ze looked at her and asked uncertainly, "Now that you know everything, will you still stay by my side?"
She didn't make a sound, as if she was thinking about something.
The uncertainty in Mu Ze's eyes finally turned into loss and gloom. Also, which girl would choose to be with him after hearing such a piece of history? Packing up and running is the most important thing, after all, saving your life is the most important thing.
If you put other things aside, once Mu Zezhen has his eyes on it, there is no reason why the other party is unwilling. Extortion is also a common method, but in Shen Xiashi, he is unwilling to force her, and he is reluctant to see her unhappy, so, He is willing to leave all the decision-making power to her.
She didn't speak for a while, and the bedroom fell into a dull silence. Mu felt that every minute and every second was suffering, but he didn't dare to urge her to make a decision, fearing a deviation, and what she said was "I don't want to. "
How ridiculous, he was clearly determined to let her make the decision.
But he resisted and hated this answer very much.
It took a while, and it was getting late, Mu Ze got up to go out, Shen Xia immediately grabbed him: "What are you doing?"
He stared at her holding his hand, his eyes brightened, "Someone get you something to eat."
Shen Xia lifted the quilt and got out of bed, parted the hair on his face, combed it casually with his slender fingers, and said, "I'll go with you."
Mu Ze likes people who are fast and efficient, and the cook at home is also well versed in this. Not long after the order was given, a table of good food was served, and the rest of the villa was still asleep, and the living room was free of the usual noise. , Just the two of them sat quietly at the table to eat.
Mu Ze continued to bring food to her, Shen Xia also ate obediently, took a mouthful of plain rice, and she suddenly talked about the past: "Before I was eight years old, my family was very happy. My father was the chief prosecutor, and he was very prestigious. Face, stern and selfless, I adore him. My mother is a rich girl who inherited a large company. She is a strong woman and is a good mother in my impression."
Mu Ze listened, frowned and put down the chopsticks. Shen Xia was not affected, and said while eating: "Until I was eight years old, this woman Mu Rou appeared. I have to admit that she is more beautiful than my mother. It hurts, my dad likes her very much. Not long after he got together with her without telling my mother, Mu Rou became pregnant, and everyone knew about it, and my mother was so angry that she was hospitalized. "
"I was in the third grade of elementary school at that time, and the teacher assigned a homework, asking each student to introduce his father. I said this at the time: My father abandoned his wife and son, was romantic, hugged left and right, What a bastard! I was quite complacent at the time, thinking that I had learned a few awesome idioms. Later, when my dad found out, he beat me up and locked me in the room without giving me food. I remember that Mu Rou was watching the excitement."
"Xia Xia." Mu Ze once hoped that Shen Xia would tell him everything about herself, but now that she really spoke, he was so distressed that he didn't want to listen any more, and he couldn't bear to let her think about those things again.
Shen Xiashi's eyes started to burn, and her throat became hoarse. She took a sip of water and waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm fine, let me finish."
She thought, since Mu Ze told her about her past, she had no reason to hide it.
Mu Ze moved a seat and sat in front of her. Shen Xia put down his chopsticks, and smiled heartlessly: "My father wants to divorce my mother because of Mu Rou. My mother is a poor woman. She loves my father very much, and she is unwilling to leave. , I even talked to Mu Rou several times, causing her to move her fetal gas a few times, although I don't know if the fetal gas is true or not, but my father also completely cut off contact with my mother because of this matter."
"My mother is heartbroken, her health is deteriorating, and there is no one in the company, everything has become a mess..."
"I still remember that day was the hottest few days in summer, the sky was clear and the weather was very good. I went to the hospital to see her after school. As soon as I arrived downstairs in the hospital, I heard a hoarse scream. When I looked up, a The figure quickly fell from the fifteen-story building, her body hit my feet, and the blood was bloody in an instant, and the blood jumped on my face, which was still hot..."
"Stop talking." Mu Ze's voice was hoarse and dull, and he suddenly pulled Shen Xia into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Stop talking."
"I found out later that she sold her shares in the company and left me a card and an apartment..."
Of course, the eternal nightmare was also left behind.
Mother may not have thought that the scene of her jumping from the downstairs, and the scene of her staring wide-eyed and lying on the ground bloody and bloody, became the nightmare that tormented Shen Xia for fifteen years in the end.
Sometimes Shen Xia would hate her, and sometimes she would go to her tombstone and ask her why she abandoned herself.
No one can understand how hard it is for her to live alone from the age of eight to now. Shen Xia thought more than once that if her mother was still there, she would not be so lonely and helpless.
She also felt that no one loved her, An Bohe abandoned her, and her mother also abandoned her, but she didn't know until Mu Ze appeared that the best will always wait until the end.
Speaking of the past, who didn't
But you have to let go to start a new life.
This matter has always been a thorn in Shen Xiashi's heart. Even a few good friends have never known about it. This is the first time she mentioned it to anyone.
Fortunately, when she finished speaking candidly, the backlog of stone on her chest seemed to be broken into pieces in an instant.
Shen Xia didn't cry, although there was hot water vapor in her eyes that wanted to run out, but she held back abruptly.
The girl raised her face from Mu Ze's arms, smiling brightly and gently: "Look, I'm fine, and you will be fine too. That's all in the past."
Compared with Shen Xiashi, Mu Ze's past was much more cruel and ruthless. She knew that he must have omitted a lot of content, but even so, she was still shocked by what he had experienced.
They are not very good people, one is vicious, the other is deep-minded, and both have a bad past. Fortunately, they became a pair, warming each other and redeeming each other.
When Shen Xia plucked up the courage to tell him all about the past, she was already ready to face the uneasy future with him. Anyway, she was full of fighting spirit, and it didn't matter if one more enemy or one less enemy was missing.
Next, she wants to embrace a new life, and it's useless for the Heavenly King to stop her. Come one to do one, and two to do a double.
As for Mu Ze...
She hugged his waist tightly: "I am here, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Yeah." His low voice sounded very soft.
It's also good for two people to talk to each other and then look forward to the future.
Mu felt that the girl was very well-intentioned. In order to make him feel more normal, she obviously pretended to be free and easy with him with uncomfortable feelings, which made him feel distressed.
There are so many good things about Shen Xia, he feels that love is worth it, and he has made up his mind to take good care of her, and never let her live the life of helplessness before, it is best to have a home.
He is the host and she is the hostess. When the time comes, he will have two children. It is best if they can look like her. The whole family is his treasure.
Mu Ze hugged her tightly, picturing the future scene in his heart, the girl in his arms was delicate and soft, comfortable to hold, the dishes on the table were completely cold, and the two of them didn't let go.
until-
"Xia Xia!!" A mournful howl came, Shen Xiashi trembled slightly, and a tearful Yang Jin ran upstairs: "Why are you so miserable!! Why didn't you tell us Pass!!"
It turned out that a group of people hid in the corner and listened to what Shen Xiashi said just now. They all lowered their heads and sighed, with tears on their faces, especially Yang Jin, who cried so much that he lost himself.
When he wanted to pick up Shen Xia, Yu Mu hugged him tightly and couldn't find a place to attack, so he simply threw off Lan Hua's fingers and lay paralyzed on the side crying: "That Mu Rou who killed a thousand swords!! I must kill him! !"
Jiang Xin and Jiang Liang didn't feel much better, they wiped their tears and said, "We only know that your mother passed away early, but we didn't expect..."
Shen Xiashi felt quite embarrassed, her troublesome things made everyone unhappy, she got up from Mu Ze's arms, waved her hands and said very coolly: "I'm fine, stop crying, what do you look like."
It’s okay not to mention it, but when I mentioned it, Yang Jin immediately cried even more violently, so that he was a little out of breath, Shen Xia threw him a box of napkins, and listened to him continue to howl: "It's hard to imagine how you have been doing for so many years. I came here, and I often say that you are being taken care of by others, I am such a cheap mouth!"
As he spoke, he began to slap himself, and Shen Xiashi looked at him: "Come on, it's not over, hurry up and wipe away your tears, your eye makeup is messed up."
"Ah?" Yang Jin took out a mirror from his pocket to look at his face, Shen Xiashi rolled his eyes, and sat back beside Mu Ze helplessly.
The three of them cried for a while, and Shen Xiashi patiently comforted them. After eating, everyone went to the Procuratorate.
When walking through the hall, Shen Xia saw Wei Xizhou outside the elevator. He was wearing a prosecutor's robe and was looking down at the documents.
Calculating the time, the first trial of the underage sexual harassment case should have ended. Shen Xiashi wanted to ask about the trial, but saw Mu Canyu and a group of rich people coming out of the court, all of them with smiles on their faces, and those who hung shoulder to shoulder were almost called brothers Now, looking at Wei Xizhou's sad face, I think the situation is not optimistic.
Mu Canyu caught up with Wei Xizhou: "Prosecutor Wei, there were many offenses in court just now."
The elevator door opened. Wei Xizhou closed the folder and walked into the elevator. He stood in the corner and didn't speak. Mu Canyu felt a little embarrassed and was hesitating whether to go in. Suddenly his waist hurt and he was kicked to the ground. It's been a long time.
Mu Canyu was in pain and dazed, he looked up and saw the man who beat him last time, he was dressed in black, tall and tall, with a cigarette behind his ear, his face was impatient and cold Glancing at him, he spit out a few words: "Don't get in my way."
Shen Xiashi glanced at Mu Canyu, walked into the elevator silently, and Mu followed him in. He didn't want Shen Xiashi to stand beside Wei Xizhou, took her arm and took a few steps to the side, and stepped into the elevator with his long legs. In the middle, the arm hooked Shen Xiashi's neck and brought him into his arms.
The elevator door was about to close, and Mu Canyu came back to his senses: "Shen Xiashi...you have guts! How dare you find a wild man to beat me!"
Shen Xia frowned, and quickly used his bag to hold the elevator that was about to close. Two seconds later, the elevator door reopened.
She came out from inside and looked down at Mu Canyu, who shrank his neck: "What are you doing!"
Shen Xiashi took out a short stick from his bag, and Mu Canyu sneered: "Why, you want to hit me with that thing of yours?"
In the next second, she stretched the short stick in Shen Xiashi's hand by a great length, and she put it on the palm of her hand twice: "I bought it online, it can be stretched and shortened, it's convenient and worry-free, and it's specially designed to hit a bitch like you! "
After the words were finished, she picked up the stick and beat Mu Canyu violently. Mu Canyu crawled on the ground, chasing him wherever she went, kicking her high-heeled feet from time to time, and many people stood there watching in amazement.
Mu Ze took down the cigarette behind his ear and lit it, his eyes narrowed in the smoke, following Shen Xiashi's sturdy figure all the time.
She took back the stick after beating, and walked gracefully in high heels. Passing by Mu Ze, he asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly hit someone?"
Shen Xiashi snorted: "Who told him to scold you."
Mu Ze stared at the back of her swaying figure, raised his head and exhaled a smoke ring, sideways pressed the cigarette on the trash can lid, flicked two fingers, and the cigarette butt flew steadily into the trash can.
There is such a girlfriend.
Life is too fucking exciting!
