At half past six, the alarm clock rang, and Lu Yan reluctantly got up.
Today, Monday, the department will hold a general university shift. According to the regulations, everyone must arrive at the department half an hour in advance.
Dizzy, she walked into the bathroom, she turned on the faucet, the face in the mirror was obviously paler than usual, and the dark circles under her eyes were looming.
I didn't sleep well at all last night. I was dreaming all night. In addition to the fragmented memories of the past, there were also some bizarre fragments.
The thin and beautiful body in the dream had a fatal attraction to her. She was addicted to it, fluttering like a fairy, hugged tightly and tasted it, and she would not let go.
Her skirts and his clothes were piled up at random beside the bed, the cicadas chirping unique to June in her ears, the air in the room rippling like waves, she was ups and downs, tossing in between.
The things in his eyes made her tremble and fascinated. His sweat rolled down his beautiful eyebrows, drop by drop, constantly burning her collarbone and chest.
His shoulders seemed to be wider than before, and the lines on his back were so smooth and vigorous that she couldn't take her eyes off her. She gnawed and gnawed, hugged and hugged. Before she could get enough of it, the alarm clock rang.
When she woke up, she still had a trace of regret.
a dream.
She looked at the mirror and added in her heart: Well, a spring dream.
She didn't know what kind of stimulation she had received last night to have such a joint reaction. She guessed that 80% of the time it was because of the inexplicable gift she received.
She poured a handful of water on her face, and under the stimulation of cold water, the heat on her face finally subsided.
And by the time she was freshened and walked out of the bathroom, she was no different from every morning she usually went to work.
Dreaming has this advantage. No matter how absurd it is with someone in the dream, the person being dreamed of is completely unaware of it. Even if they are sitting opposite each other, she can handle it with equanimity.
For example, now, she can have breakfast in front of Jiang Chengyi very openly.
He also didn't seem to be sleeping very well, and his face was slightly worse than usual. The strange thing was that his appetite was still quite good. He quickly finished breakfast, took the car keys, and waited for her at the entrance in high spirits.
She quickened her speed, ate three or two, changed her high heels, and followed him into the elevator.
In the car, the two of them were very quiet, and neither of them spoke.
Feeling a little stuffy for some reason, she rolled down the window.
It was raining, and it was a cold and wet morning. Although it was less than seven o’clock, the traffic on the road was already showing signs of stagnation. The traffic police wore raincoats and went back and forth to direct traffic at the intersection. There were many pedestrians, all of them wrapped in winter clothes. His face was uniformly worn with that sluggish look typical of Monday mornings.
"When do you get off work at night?" He looked straight ahead and finally spoke.
She silently took out her mobile phone and looked at today's schedule: "There are a lot of surgeries today, so I don't necessarily know when to get off work. By the way, it's Monday, can the surveillance video be called up?"
He didn't answer.
It was not until he drove the car into the First Affiliated Hospital that he said to her lukewarmly, "I'll come pick you up at night."
Put those words down and leave.
Busy all day. The operating room system is like a complex and sophisticated instrument. Everyone is a screw on the instrument. During the operation of this huge instrument, there is no room for mistakes.
Lu Yan was in charge of one of the gynecology operating rooms today. The operation rotation was very fast. By the time she got off work, she had already performed a series of laparoscopic surgeries.
After earnestly visiting the patient who was going to be anesthetized tomorrow, she went to the dressing room to change clothes. After she came out, she checked the time. Fortunately, the anesthesia and surgery during the day went smoothly, and it was not even half past seven.
Greeting other colleagues, she walked to the elevator and pressed the elevator, remembering what she said in the morning, thinking about sending a text message to Jiang Chengyi, and the call came in.
It is Jiang Chengyi.
She picks up.
"Have you got off work?"
She tied a scarf and cleared her throat: "Well."
"The surveillance has come out." He couldn't hear the emotion in his voice, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
After entering the elevator, I met a few colleagues from other departments. When they saw Lu Yan, the colleague smiled and said, "Xiao Lu has encountered something very happy. He looks so good."
Lu Yan touched her face, obviously feeling very tired, where did she look better.
As soon as the elevator door opened, several people came out.
Seeing Lu Yan walking straight towards Jiang Chengyi's car, the colleague immediately understood and laughed, "It turns out that our little doctor Lu is in a relationship, now it's alright, someone in the hospital is going to be heartbroken."
Lu Yan opened the car door and smiled helplessly: "See you tomorrow."
After getting into the car, he glanced at Jiang Chengyi, only to find that his face was calm.
In the morning, although he didn't say a few words, his face was not as stinky as it is now.
After sitting down, she looked at him for a few seconds and then said, "Are you going to your precinct now?"
"Yeah." He finally opened his mouth.
The Criminal Police Brigade of Ansan District Bureau is very close, only a ten-minute drive away.
After parking the car, Jiang Chengyi led her inside.
I met Lao Qin on the way.
As soon as he saw them, Lao Qin said to Jiang Chengyi: "I was about to call you, and Wang Ping and I have finished handing over. Our group has divided a total of 15 cases."
Jiang Chengyi said: "Okay, hard work, let's sort it out in a while, and then wait for the people in the group to have a meeting tomorrow morning, and then assign them one by one."
Lao Qin said a few more words to Jiang Chengyi, and seeing Lu Yan's puzzled look, he explained, "An old detective in the bureau has retired and handed over some of the unsolved cases to Jiang's team, including some of them. A few have been around for a few years."
Lu Yan asked him curiously, "In general, what kind of cases are they?"
Lao Qin smiled bitterly: "Some of the perpetrators are at large. Due to various reasons, the perpetrators have not been brought to justice for the time being. There are also homicide or theft cases. Either the clues are fragmented, or the damage to the scene is too serious, making it difficult to investigate."
Lu Yan nodded, and then looked around. Overtime seemed to be the norm here. Although it was past seven o'clock, there were people coming and going in the corridor, all walking like the wind.
When he arrived at Jiang Chengyi's desk, Lao Qin ignored Lu Yan's obstruction and went to make tea.
Lu Yan put the bag on Jiang Chengyi's desk and looked over it silently. Except for a computer, the rest were all documents, and there were almost no personal belongings.
Suddenly something touched her knee behind her, she looked down and saw that the computer chair was moved behind her by Jiang Chengyi at some point.
She tilted her head, but he turned on the computer, swiped the mouse, and started looking for files.
At this time, Lao Qin came over with tea and said to Lu Yan, "Dr. Lu, sit down. I went through a lot of formalities during the day to record these two surveillance videos. You may need to take a transcript later."
Jiang Chengyi clicked on a video and said to Lu Yan, "Look at this person in the video, do you know him?"
Lu Yan felt nervous for a while. Out of an inexplicable fear, she was just like watching the surveillance video of Nanshan Lane two days ago. In the first few seconds, she didn't even dare to look at the screen. Start looking at the picture carefully.
The first video is on a road, and the time is displayed at 19:37 on Saturday night. The light in the camera is not bright, and there are many pedestrians on the road, but Lu Yan still recognized the location in the picture as Songshan Road. She was in the crowd. He was hurrying on the road against the cold wind.
There was nothing unusual in the first few seconds of the picture, but when passing by a small alley, a tall and strong man suddenly appeared in the picture.
After coming out of the alley, this person did not immediately follow Lu Yan, but first lit a cigarette in his hand, while smoking, pretending to look around casually, after a while, he followed her in a leisurely manner , and after tracking for dozens of meters, he began to intentionally shorten the distance with Lu Yan.
Jiang Chengyi fixed the mouse on the man, zoomed in on his image, and saw that the man was wearing a fat black coat and a gray hat, with one hand in his pocket, and the other hand seemed to be holding something .
At first glance, the thing was held in his hands casually, but as long as he looked at it continuously, he could find that the person had been deliberately adjusting the angle of the thing so that it was always facing Lu Yan's back.
Lu Yan tried her best to identify: "What he holds in his hand is..."
Jiang Chengyi: "dv."
"dv?"
Jiang Chengyi fixed the picture on the man's face with a cigarette in his mouth: "This person has a criminal record. As soon as the surveillance was called in the morning, we verified the identity of this person in the evening. His name is Wang Qiang, who was accused of molestation and theft ten years ago. He has been in prison for the crime. After he was released from prison three years ago, he bought a DV at the suggestion of his inmates. Since then, he has been tracking and secretly photographing women for a long time, and selling the videos to illegal websites to obtain information. Li, after being caught, stayed in jail until March this year."
After he finished speaking, he asked Lu Yan, "Have you seen this person before?"
Lu Yan shook her head: "I haven't seen it before."
Jiang Chengyi clicked the play button, and the screen continued to advance.
This time, Lu Yan in the video had already reached the crossroads. Since she happened to meet a red light, many pedestrians were waiting on the side of the road with tacit understanding, while Lu Yan was standing in front of the crowd on the left.
Perhaps because the crowd gathered together, Wang Qiang was no longer as cautious as before, but bypassed some people by taking advantage of his height, and slowly stuck behind Lu Yan.
Standing there for a while, an unexpected scene appeared. Wang Qiang lifted the front end of the DV in a prank and touched Lu Yan's back.
Lu Yan in the picture clearly noticed something, and seemed to want to turn back. Unfortunately, the red light changed to green at this time, the crowd was surging, and the picture quickly moved forward again.
Jiang Chengyi was about to start the next video when Lu Yan said coldly, "Wait a minute."
When Jiang Chengyi looked at her, she raised her hand and pointed to a certain person in an inconspicuous corner of the screen: "Can you enlarge the picture of this person."
Only at this moment did Jiang Chengyi and Lao Qin realize that there was a woman at the end of the crowd, with a long black down jacket, medium stature, not too dark, mixed in the crowd, not at all inconspicuous.
"Can you turn the picture over?" Lu Yan's tone was a little nervous.
Jiang Chengyi will go back to 19:37 at the beginning of the screen. When pulling the progress bar, you can see that this woman has always followed Lu Yan and appeared earlier than the man.
Lao Qin felt something was wrong: "what's the matter?"
Lu Yan slowly shook her head: "This woman has also appeared in the subway. If it wasn't for a sudden change, I almost took the same train with her. It's strange, why do I think this woman is a little familiar."
Jiang Chengyi opened the video of the subway X-line. In this video, the man named Wang Qiang repeated his old tricks. At first, he just stood idle in the corner smoking a cigarette. When the subway was about to arrive, he took the opportunity to approach Lu Yan, while in the In the end, when the crowd was crowded at the door of the carriage, he deliberately stood behind Lu Yan, but unfortunately because his vision was blocked, he couldn't see exactly what he was doing behind Lu Yan.
Coincidentally, the woman in the black down jacket is always in the picture.
Unlike the tall Wang Qiang, she neither slapped her eyes nor acted out of bounds, and had no sense of existence. If it wasn't for Lu Yan and the others who were intentionally observing her, they wouldn't even be able to determine whether she was really following Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was standing on the platform in the direction of "From Station A to Station B", and she also stood there quietly. Lu Yan entered the carriage, and she followed her into the carriage, until Lu Yan answered the call from Jiang Chengyi, and then unexpectedly squeezed out of the crowd. The woman was already in the carriage and could not return to the platform in front of everyone's eyes.
Jiang Chengyi's eyes moved, and although he wasn't sure, he still opened another document.
There was a video he copied from the Nanshan Lane police station a few days ago.
Lu Yan had also seen this video, and as soon as the picture popped up, she silently raised her eyes to look at Jiang Chengyi.
Jiang Chengyi didn't look back, just stared at the screen intently.
In the video, the woman opened the door of the unit downstairs of Lu Yan's house and entered, and left in a hurry after a few minutes.
After watching it back and forth several times, Lu Yan finally knew why she thought the woman in the subway was familiar.
The women in the two videos look very different in cold eyes: one is dressed in "fashionable" fashion, and the other is wearing a black down jacket that is not eye-catching, but both of them are highly similar in body shape and walking posture.
The same medium stature, the same wearing high-heeled shoes, and when walking, the two of them took fast and big steps, the appearance of the upper body leaning forward and hurrying on the road is very recognizable.
"There are two suspicious points in these two videos." Jiang Chengyi freezes the picture and turns to look at Lao Qin and Lu Yan, "First, since Wang Qiang chose to follow and take pictures, why did he deliberately attract the attention of the parties? Intimidation? It's impossible to judge just from the performance on the screen."
Lao Qin thought for a while, and after a few seconds, asked Jiang Chengyi, "Would you like to check Wang Qiang's account?"
Jiang Chengyi: "Do you suspect someone hired him to scare Lu Yan?"
Lao Qin: "I've been in contact with people like Wang Qiang a lot, and he can't afford to be too early, and he finally got out of the game in the first half of the year, and he hasn't had enough time outside, so he won't think about going in so quickly. There must be a reason why it is so abnormal.”
Lu Yan listened intently on the side, and secretly sighed that it was like a mountain. The same thing, when the criminal policeman handling the important case, had a completely different way of thinking.
Jiang Chengyi took out his mobile phone and made a call, which was quickly connected. The other party didn't seem to get off work. Jiang Chengyi walked aside and said a few words, then hung up and came back.
He looked at Lao Qin: "There may be news tomorrow, Wang Qiang has been imprisoned several times, and he already has some experience in anti-reconnaissance. Besides starting from his economic aspect, it is best to check that he has been in contact with him in the past few months. who."
Lu Yan was silent for a while and reminded him: "You said that there are two doubts in the video, what about the other one?"
Jiang Chengyi turned his attention to the computer screen again: "This woman wore a silk scarf once, a mask and hat once, and deliberately covered her face twice."
Lu Yan's heart moved: "Is this strange?"
Jiang Chengyi stared at the woman in the picture and didn't answer, but Lao Qin interrupted and said, "I can't tell, but this woman dressed completely differently before and after, which makes people feel very strange."
At this time, a few people came to the door, carrying a large bag of things in their hands, and said, "Jiang team, just found it from Wang Qianqian's house, this is the second search, it should be done again. There's nothing left, her mother heard that it's to help solve the case, and she can't wait to dig out the things in the sewers for us, well, no, get back a big bag."
When he was talking, he first noticed Lu Yan, and then found the file on the table: "Hey, Team Jiang, is there a new case here?"
Lao Qin is a smart person. He didn't need Jiang Chengyi's reminder at all, so he consciously led Lu Yan to the other side: "Since the video is over, Dr. Lu, let's come here to make a transcript."
Lu Yan picked up her bag and walked away behind Lao Qin.
Before walking too far, I heard Jiang Chengyi say: "Wang Qianqian, you will send this package to the forensic doctor immediately. Don't read blindly, there are no new cases, just the old cases in the hands of Lao Wang have been handed over to us. Wait until tomorrow for a unified distribution."
Someone lowered his voice and said, "Oh, hey, Team Jiang, I know. Didn't our bureau hold a farewell party for Pharaoh the other day? He mentioned a case at the dinner table, and he told Wang Qianqian about it. The case is a bit similar. They were all thrown into an artificial lake after death. Unfortunately, the murderer was too cunning and failed to solve the case in the past three years. I heard that the deceased was the wife of a wealthy businessman. This kind of challenging case It is the best way to accumulate experience, since you are in our group, if you investigate it carefully, you may be able to solve the case before the end of the year."
"I told you to keep your voice down." Lao Qin stood up and gave a half-truth, "I'm making a transcript here."
It was also Lao Qin who had good seniority and good relationship. When he shouted, not only did those few people have no objection, but they became more and more quiet.
But as soon as the record was finished, Lao Qin couldn't help but sigh: "The longer it takes, the harder it is to solve the case, and the traces of the crime will be slowly wiped away, but as long as the murderer is not brought to justice for a day, he must Look down, think about it, no one is uncomfortable with such a thing, and family members often can't get out of the shadows for many years."
Lu Yan: "Yeah, this kind of thing is really unfortunate."
She was still thinking about Wang Qiang in the video just now. If someone really hired him to deal with her, who would that person be? Guessing and guessing, seems to have a clue.
Jiang Chengyi didn't seem to want to get off work yet. She decided to stop thinking about it for the time being and asked Lao Qin, "Officer Qin, where is the bathroom?"
After returning from the bathroom, someone was chatting with Lao Qin with a steaming tea cup: "Lao Qin, you said just now that the family members of the murder case can't get out of the shadows. In my opinion, let alone the murder case, the family members of the suicide case also refused to Accept the facts, you should know that strange thing. It seems that eight years ago, a girl from middle school jumped into a lake and committed suicide. After that, for seven consecutive years, people wrote anonymous letters to us every year, saying the cause of the girl's death. Suspicious, the letter listed a number of reasons why the girl would not commit suicide, and strongly urged the police to re-investigate the matter. The leaders paid great attention to this matter, and they actually filed a case for investigation, but after investigation and investigation, the monitoring investigation of the girl's suicide that night was investigated. After I came out and looked at it, I was sure it was suicide, and I couldn't find any possibility of killing him."
Lu Yan stayed there for a while.
The man added: "But even so, the anonymous letter writer still sends letters year after year, attaching the 'evidence' he/she has collected, asking the police to re-examine the case. I After so many years of criminal investigation, I have never seen such a persistent person. It is very sad to say that. At that time, we guessed whether it was the girl's parents, but we got the handwriting right several times. After so many years, who would still be so brooding about this matter."
Lu Yan's heart sank, and she approached: "Excuse me, is the girl you said committed suicide from No. 7 Middle School?"
The man froze for a while, and quickly changed the subject: "Just chat a few words."
At this time, Jiang Chengyi came over, and the topic was interrupted.
Lao Qin said, "Team Jiang, it's time to get off work."
Jiang Chengyi smiled: "After get off work, everyone has worked hard."
Seeing Lu Yan's strange silence, he approached and looked at her clearly: "Let's go."
Lu Yan felt that her heart was full of unspeakable emotions. After hearing this, she took her bag casually and walked out.
When she got in the car, Lu Yan's expression had returned to normal.
When she was wearing the seat belt, she turned her head inadvertently, only to find that Jiang Chengyi was looking at her.
But the next moment he turned his head and asked briefly, "Are you hungry?"
Lu Yan answered honestly: "I'm hungry."
Jiang Chengyi started to turn left, preparing to drive the car into the main road of Songshan Road: "My parents entertain guests at night, and the cook over there is too busy, so Mrs. Liu was called away temporarily."
Lu Yan blinked, not responding a bit.
Jiang Chengyi: "No one cooks tonight, so I can only cook it myself."
When passing a fresh produce supermarket, Lu Yan went down to buy some fresh vegetables. The other dishes were probably kept in the refrigerator when Mrs. Liu left.
She only has a few simple home-cooked dishes, and her skills are really limited, but it should be more than enough to deal with people like Jiang Chengyi who have never even been in the kitchen.
After entering the house, Mrs. Liu really wasn't at home. When changing shoes, Lu Yan glanced at Jiang Chengyi's trousers from the corner of her eyes. Inexplicably, the scene from last night's dream flashed through her mind, and she felt guilty first.
