When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Chengyi was putting on clothes by the bed. Seeing that Lu Yan was still sleeping, he couldn't bear to call her, so he packed up and left.

Lu Yan did a whole day of courseware at home.

In the evening, she called Jiang Chengyi, but he still didn't answer it, just like yesterday.

Lying on the bed, she remembered what Jiang Chengyi said last night to "lock the target", and suddenly had a hunch: Jiang Chengyi might not come back to sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, she was even less sleepy, and she only thought to herself that if the murderer could be caught, Deng Man's affairs would almost be brought to light.

Over the years, she has been collecting evidence and repeatedly sending letters to the police station. Eight years have passed before she knew it. Today, as other victims surfaced one after another, the whole series of cases finally showed signs of being uprooted.

She was slightly excited, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

It's hard to fall asleep, and the mood is still restless.

In the dream, I vaguely returned to the stationery store that I visited with Deng Man that year, the two lingered in front of the counter, and Deng Man provided her with reference.

She picked it up and down, and finally settled on the Parker pen, but unfortunately because the budget exceeded her pocket money, she was not willing to buy it.

Then, out of nowhere, he suddenly came to Deng Man's room.

Sitting beside the bed for a while, she opened Deng Man's drawer and saw a brand new pen lying quietly inside. She didn't know when Deng Man bought it. She only knew that Deng Man failed to send the pen out. Gone.

The jet-black and shiny pen body and the golden-yellow pen cap, together calmly and vigorously, stinged her eyes.

She picked up the pen, her heart was so sad that she couldn't describe it, and she burst into tears.

When I woke up in the morning, the pillow towel was wet.

She closed her eyes and touched the side subconsciously. Sure enough, there was no heat on the sheets, and Jiang Chengyi didn't come back at all at night.

Call him, there has been a call.

After breakfast, she devoted herself to reviewing the courseware, and casually sorted out some questions that the professors might ask during the competition, and reviewed them one by one. Years of steadiness and hard work have shown results at this time. In just one morning, she already has seven or eight points of confidence.

After lunch, Jiang Chengyi hadn't contacted her yet. She silently found the wash bag and started to prepare the items for the night in the suburban hotel.

At one o'clock at noon, Jiang Chengyi sent her a WeChat message, saying that he was going to arrest the prisoner, and he could not leave for the time being. Xiaozhou would take her to the hotel later, but as soon as he was done, he would go to her.

Ansan District Criminal Police Brigade.

The serious crime team stayed up all night.

After going through several sub-district offices, it was not until the afternoon that Jiang Chengyi finally found out the household registration information before the demolition of Shuilongtan Community in the mountain of household registration information in the archives of a certain office.

Shuilongtan Community is located in the old city, with old-fashioned unit buildings and many neighbors in contact with each other.

The community is very large, the residential buildings are connected to each other, and the number of households is about 1,000. Due to the mixed residents, the population is extremely mobile.

Zhou Zhicheng and Lin Chunmei moved into Shuilongtan Community since they got married, and lived there from 1997 to 2012.

Considering that Lin Chunmei died in 2010, the team narrowed the screening range to 1997-2010.

The trouble is here. Before 2005, the household registration information was not connected to the Internet. It was all paper documents. It took a lot of time to look up one by one.

After working all night, in the morning, everyone finally found something in the vast ocean of household registration files. Since the head of the household is not the name of the registered suspect, it took a lot of effort to finally find the head of the household in the Shuilongtan community. In the spider-like web of kinship under the name, two familiar names were found.

After all this was done, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Chengyi pulled out the two files and immediately called to ask for a search warrant.

"Wen Peng, born on May 21, 1989, 28 years old, a native of this city, studied in this city from 1995 to 2007, and went to a university in California to study film in 2007. When he was three years old, his parents divorced. After the divorce, his mother went abroad. She settled in Canada with her boyfriend. Since then, her mother has paid Wen Peng alimony regularly, but has never returned to China to visit Wen Peng. His father, Wen Bin, remarried when he was eight years old, and is currently the principal of No. 7 Middle School.

"In 1997, the year when Wen Peng's father remarried, due to the busy work of his father and stepmother, Wen Peng was sent to stay with his grandparents in Shuilongtan. He was only one unit away from Zhou Zhicheng's house and was adjacent to each other. In elementary school, his father also moved Wenpeng's hukou to Shuilongtan. Wenpeng has lived with his grandparents in Shuilongtan since then, until he graduated from high school in 2007 and went abroad to study. It was in April 2007 that Zhou Zhicheng's wife Lin Chunmei There was an electric car accident.

"Wen Peng himself is 169cm tall, weighs 70kg, and has excellent jumping ability. During his studies in No. 7 middle school, he once regarded Tini Boggs (net height 160cm), a famous NBA defender, as his idol, and took the initiative to serve as the school basketball team's defender. In 2011, Wen Peng successfully obtained a bachelor's degree and returned to China. After that, he officially entered the film and television industry under the recommendation of a friend, and frequently traveled to and from city b and city s."

Jiang Chengyi said here that Lao Qin wrote down the chronological order of several victims on the whiteboard according to Wen Peng's entry and exit records in the past few years.

Deng Man (doubtful): committed suicide in June 2009.

Li Liwei: Killed on November 22, 2014.

Wang Wei (city b): Killed on July 8, 2017.

Wang Qianqian: Killed on November 28, 2017.

Ding Jing: Killed on December 3, 2017.

"Wenpeng's family is relatively wealthy. During his studies in the United States, except for the year before graduation, he traveled to Europe, and for the other three years, he used vacation to return to China to visit his grandparents and father. That is to say, from 2007 to 2011, immigration management Wen Peng’s records can be found at the center.”

Dr. Yu pulled out the photos of Wen Peng's biological mother and stepmother in the archives and found that both ladies were good-looking and slender.

Jiang Chengyi then introduced the second suspect.

"Cheng Zhou, male, 25 years old, born on July 3, 1992, a native of this city, has been living in the Shuilongtan community since he was born, and is now a well-known makeup artist in China, with a certain influence in the circle, his English name is David , I heard that she is now the royal makeup artist of star Zheng Xiaowen.

"At the age of three, Cheng Zhou's father was sentenced to prison for wounding, and the family's source of income was interrupted. In order to make a living, Cheng Zhou's mother Li Xiaolan was forced to go out to work. She has worked as a supermarket cashier, salesman and restaurant waiter. Li Xiaolan met Cheng Zhou's stepfather when she was a foot therapist in Footwash City, and remarried that year. Cheng Zhou was 7 years old at the time. His stepfather was a long-distance car driver and was away from home all year round. In the mahjong hall in the community, he played mahjong, and in the fourth year of marriage, Li Xiaolan gave birth to a daughter named Zhang Yuan, who is 14 years old this year."

"After graduating from the college entrance examination, Cheng Zhou was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. I don't know if it was because his stepfather refused to pay the tuition fees. The file shows that Cheng Zhou applied for a student loan. During his sophomore year, that is, in 2012, Cheng Zhou's father was released from prison. His father worked at a construction site. After graduating from university, Cheng Zhou turned to study makeup because he failed to find a job. Because of his art skills, Cheng Zhou soon became a teacher and took over the job. He found a job in a studio that year. "

Yu Zheng pulled out a photo of Cheng Zhou's mother, Li Xiaolan.

"It looks like Zhou Zheng." Lao Qin came over.

Yu Zheng pursed his lips: "The most beautiful is Wen Peng's biological mother who immigrated abroad, the former principal's wife."

After explaining the background information of the two major suspects, the superior's instructions came down.

Jiang Chengyi sorted out his guns and laid out an action plan while putting on his coat.

"Wen Peng currently lives in Jingwan Community, Unit 3302, Building B, Cheng Zhou (David) lives in Fulong Lake Garden, Building 7, 501, Lao Qin, you and Lao Liu are in charge of Wen Peng's area, I will take someone to Cheng Zhou family. Lao Jin, you stay in the team, in addition to the back, you are also responsible for contacting the relevant units and making them make relevant preparations. From this moment on, the two suspects are prohibited from leaving the city. In addition, the two suspects are both Freelancer, no fixed workplace, within half an hour, you are responsible for sending me the current locations of the two suspects. Remember, the prisoners are very cunning, and they will call me no matter what happens. Come on, don't make any more baskets!"

The case was solved soon, and everyone was so excited that they responded in unison.

Fulong Lake Garden is not in the city center, and the road conditions are congested.

After blocking the entrance and exit of the community, the group reached the door of 501 in Building 7. Liao Qi held the search warrant with the big red seal in his hand, and knocked on the door at Jiang Chengyi's signal.

No answer.

Opening the door, a group of people filed in, put on gloves and foot covers, and searched around.

The house is not big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, but the decoration is nice and clean.

After searching for a quarter of an hour, Lao Qin's phone call came: "Jiang team, we found a small piece of plastic at the drain of Wen Peng's bathtub. It was white and bright. According to me, it looks a bit like the one used for floating corpses. waterproof material.”

Jiang Chengyi paused: "Okay, you can apply for an arrest warrant directly."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chengyi received another call from the old Liu in the team, and was told: Wen Peng and Cheng Zhou are currently in the same crew, Cheng Zhou is in charge of makeup for Zheng Xiaowen, and Wen Peng is the director of the play, both in the xx shop film and television base filming.

Lu Yan sat in Xiao Zhou's police car and occasionally chatted with Xiao Zhou.

It seems that because he was unable to participate in the front-line operations, Xiao Zhou was in a low mood. It was not until Lu Yan chatted with him for a while that he slowly regained his spirits.

The Hanlin Mountain Villa Hotel is quite far away. The journey takes nearly two hours. It took half a day to go back and forth. No wonder the organizers of the competition offered accommodation on their own initiative.

Before Xiao Zhou came, he was told by Jiang Chengyi that Lu Yan could not be left out of sight.

He kept this order from Team Jiang in mind, and as soon as the car was parked, he got out of the car with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan packed her small bag, walked out of the parking lot with Xiao Zhou, and looked around the hotel while walking.

Typical manor style, covering a vast area, with sculptures and fountains echoing each other, and large green lawns can be seen everywhere.

There were a lot of people standing here and there at the entrance of the hotel, either smoking or looking around. Out of professional habit, Xiao Zhou glanced at those people vigilantly, and quickly recognized the reporter from the other party's outfit.

"Why so many entertainment records." He was a little puzzled. "Doctor Lu, your game is of a national nature, right? The process of the game at night - will it be broadcast live on satellite?"

Lu Yan also noticed the group of reporters long ago, and smiled and said, "I don't know if it will be broadcast live on satellite, but in order to expand its influence, the competition party must have contacted the media for a long time, but I think... It shouldn't be entertainment. reporter."

"Oh." Xiao Zhou nodded, "It's very close to the film and television base. I guess some celebrities have stayed in the hotel. These people are waiting for headlines here."
