"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep."

In the early morning, a disturbing ringtone woke up Cai Yan, who had just fallen asleep.

He opened his eyelids that seemed to be stuck with glue, glanced at the time, and then listened carefully to identify it. Suddenly, like a fish out of water, he bounced hard on the bed and bounced up!

He ran out of the room in three steps and happened to see his father standing at the door, thinking about his newly installed electronic peephole, and turned back to ask him:

"This thing started barking so early in the morning? How do you close it? Is it broken?"

"You don't understand. Get out of the way." Cai Yan pushed his father away eagerly.

He stayed outside the door for a long time at six o'clock in the morning, causing the electronic peephole to sound the alarm. Besides the person who threw the dead cat last time, who else could it be!

Good guy, I was unprepared last time and let you succeed. You are so brave that you actually dared to do it a second time. It’s endless, isn’t it?

This time I will make a vlog to make you famous!

He quickly took out the portable camera placed in the corner, held it in his hand, jumped forward, and opened the door!

"I think you still dare to throw a dead cat at my door——"

The camera focused on the face of the uniformed police officer.

Cai Yan: "?"

The policeman who came to the door looked at the camera and said: "No need for this, now we all carry body cameras for law enforcement. If you need it, I can turn it on at all times."

Cai Yan: "Uh... no need."

The policeman was very kind: "It's okay, just leave it open so that you don't have to tell me something later. What happened to the dead cat? Why didn't you call the police?"

"It's nothing, just...a neighborhood dispute." Cai Yan quickly found an excuse, "It's a small matter, the police are busy, I can handle it myself, I won't bother you."

But Cai Hengmu interrupted behind his back. His father always said inappropriate things at inappropriate times.

"I'm just telling you why you have been acting weird recently, and you asked me to go out less and pay attention to my safety. So it turns out that someone came to our house and killed the cat?" Cai Hengmu said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My neighbor has a very good relationship, and no one will do it."

He came here to throw the cat to death. He must be the master of some kind of online service and offended people online, so others gave him the death penalty."

"Oh? Lao Cai, what is your son's ID?" the policeman asked.

Cai Yan wanted to cover Cai Hengmu's mouth, but Cai Hengmu's mouth was always so fast and never passed through his brain. No matter how many times he emphasized not to say his network ID casually, it was of no use...!

"His ID is cheap and easy to remember. It's called Half a Cabbage."

Cai Yan felt like he had experienced an embarrassing death.

The policemen looked at him, their friendly expressions became more serious: "You are the one who analyzed Tang Zhixue's case online?"

"It's me." Cai Yan said with a straight face.

"Your video leaked too much content that should not have been leaked, which caused a very bad impact. According to regulations, we have to criticize and educate you."

Cai Yan prepared a basket of rebuttals.

But the police officers changed the topic, and their faces were as serious as ice cream in summer. The ice and water melted in the sun, leaving only sweet sugar stains hanging on their kind smiling faces.

Their gazes lightly passed over him and cast behind him.

He heard these policemen say: "But this is not what we came here for today. Someone asked you about it later. Lao Cai, I came here early in the morning to give you some great news. Thanks to you, Tang Zhixue learned

The case is solved!”

Tang Zhixue’s case has been solved!

Cai Yan's spirit suddenly cheered up, but the moment of cheering brought out more weirdness.

Why should I say "Thanks to you" to the old man?

What has this old man been doing these past few days? Isn't it drinking tea, reading newspapers, walking around and spanking?

Did the police find the wrong person? Even if they want to thank him, they should still thank him... right?

Cai Yan turned around and saw Cai Hengmu's face full of false politeness: "I did something trivial and it's all thanks to you that I was able to solve the case. Just call me and let me know. There's no need to come to your door. It's so grand...

…Come in, come in quickly, sit down, and I’ll make you a cup of tea.”

Because there were still many things to explain next, the police were not polite and entered the door.

Cai Hengmu boiled water and poured tea for everyone.

Cai Yan looked at the tea cup that was moved in front of him, and the bright yellow tea soup reflected his yellow face.

He heard the policeman say:

"This old case has finally been solved, and you are here again to take the greatest credit. The director means that we will go with you to express our condolences to Tang Zhixue's mother, tell the old lady the good news, and then give you the award.

Certificate of award, let’s take a group photo together.”

"Huh? It's the police's credit for solving the case. Why should I come to the door? I won't go."

His father's voice actually said something self-aware.

"This is the bureau's decision. It's yours, don't shirk it."

His father was silent for a long time, then he said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it, I will go to the toilet first, and you can continue drinking tea."

Drink your ass!

Cai Yan couldn't help it anymore. He raised his head suddenly, shook off the yellowed face in his mind, and asked the police angrily and confusedly: "What on earth did my dad do that you have to come to thank him?"

The policemen looked at each other: "Did you know the things in the video you made from Lao Cai?"

Cai Yan felt guilty for two seconds: "Part of it is, and part of it I went to see it in person, and I summarized it myself."

The police sighed: "The details of these old cases are crucial..."

Sounds came in one after another from the living room.

Cai Hengmu was sneaking around from the toilet to the balcony.

The keywords "go to express condolences" and "award certificate" are all like biting snakes. As soon as they came out of the mouths of the police, Cai Hengmu, who was originally an old man, was bitten to the balcony.

He walked around on the balcony and naturally looked at the balcony next door as a habit.

He raised his legs and wanted to step on the balcony railing. He was too old to step on it, so he had to bring a stool and stand on it. When he stood on it, he wanted to jump. He looked at the height of the sixth floor and felt it was dangerous, so he tried to pull on it again.

Sheets hanging from the rack were tied to the body.

He was tied up and the simple protective measures had not been taken yet when a familiar face popped out from the balcony next door.

Yuan Yue held his arms on the balcony and showed him a helpless smile:

"Uncle Cai, your arms and legs are old. Let's stop doing dangerous things and jump out of the window. You can't escape anyway."

In the end, Cai Hengmu went there alone, riding his little broken electric bicycle slowly.

The other police officers who were going to follow him were persuaded to leave by him citing reasons such as embarrassment and embarrassment.

As soon as the police gathered together, it was okay to ask Cai Hengmu to notify him in the morning. In the afternoon, they would formally visit the house, settle the case, and take publicity photos.

Cai Yan, who stayed aside and listened to the whole scene, gritted his teeth and wanted to follow. After walking a few steps, he went back to pull Yuan Yue's clothes. He spoke quickly and asked repeatedly: "Brother Yuan, what did my dad do and why?"

You said he solved this case? It’s obviously you who has been running the case!”

Yuan Yue: "Now that the case is closed, it will no longer be kept secret. Uncle Cai will tell you later..."

"I don't want to listen to him." Cai Yan interrupted Yuan Yue simply and rudely, "I want to listen to you. He is used to exaggerating the facts. Who knows which of his words are true and which are false. Also, say

The case is solved, how was this case solved?"

Yuan Yue was silent for a while.

The joy on his face subsided a little. He looked forward first, then turned to Cai Yan, and spoke softly but seriously: "This case happened in 1994."

"Then what?" Cai Yan didn't understand why he had to emphasize this point.

"In 1994, many criminal investigation technologies were imperfect. DNA testing, which is now commonplace, was just emerging, unpopular and immature even in the United States at that time, let alone in China. So no one thought of searching for and extracting residues at crime scenes.

Biological evidence, check DNA.”

"Uncle Cai is a person who likes reading detective novels and information about foreign cases.

"About a year or two later, he learned that there was DNA technology abroad, which could be used to identify criminals."

"What do you want to say..." Cai Yan vaguely guessed the next words.

But it's impossible, how is this possible.

Isn't this old man a guy who only knows how to brag and talk big, and is always quick with his words but slow with his deeds?

"In the following years, Uncle Cai searched for people all over the world every year based on the personal information recorded in the suspect's interrogation records at that time. When he found the person, he looked for opportunities to collect hair, saliva, such as drinking wine bottles, and cigarette smoke.

When we reopened the case, I found the biological evidence left by the suspect in the corner of the table at the crime scene. After comparing it with the suspect’s DNA collected by Uncle Cai over the years, it was finally confirmed

The identity of the other murderer in the case was revealed."

The DNA that Yuan Yue handed over to Hu Qian was obtained in this way, but DNA obtained in this way cannot be used as court evidence. Later, Yuan Yue sent people to Qian Shumao's hometown to obtain Qian Shumao's parents through formal procedures.

DNA, completing this evidence chain.

In addition, every few years, Cai Hengmu would regularly visit those hometowns that he felt were highly suspicious, quietly observing the parents of those suspects, and looking for clues.

Things are complicated yet simple.

22 years of time and 22 years of energy are condensed in these few sentences.

"That's impossible!" Cai Yan retorted, "I know him. He just goes on a trip. Every time he goes on a trip, he brings back jade, jade, stones, and other messy stuff. At first glance, it's just something used by tourist attractions to deceive people.

.”

"Circumstantial evidence will not appear out of thin air." Yuan Yue laughed, "But maybe... while traveling while looking for evidence, I might be deceived."

"Even if he did do these things during the trip, even - even -" Cai Yan was inexplicably excited, "Even if he worked hard to collect for so many years, the case was not solved by him, but by you. If not

You guys, with his clumsy way of collecting evidence, he will never be able to solve this case!"

"He's just a smelly old man, he's just an ordinary person, and he's stupid!"

The smile on Yuan Yue's face faded.

But he didn't refute, he even hummed slightly.

This sound was directed at Cai Yan's last words.

Cai Hengmu is an ordinary person.

The answer he received from Yuan Yue did not satisfy Cai Yan.

He left Yuan Yue behind, drove his own car, and chased after him.

Countless thoughts were running through his mind along the way, and they were boiling and steaming in his mind like boiling water. He didn't believe it at first, and he didn't believe it anyway, but Yuan Yue couldn't speak, and the police couldn't lie.

The thing is true, his father, whom he has always looked down upon, did a lot of things without him knowing...!

He is a smart man.

It is difficult for smart people to deceive themselves in the face of irrefutable evidence.

So in the end, he reluctantly admitted: Maybe his dad is not as bad as he thought, at least his dad is still trying to make up for his past mistakes... At least his dad has indeed set a goal to solve this case.

contribution.

22 years.

Very long, indeed very long.

It is indeed not easy to travel north and south.

Now, the case has finally been solved, and his father's 22 years of persistence and hard work have not been in vain.

Now the old man finally... finally became a hero.

The heroic father he longed to see when he was a child.

The heroic father was 22 years late, but he still came back.

The car came all the way to the reeds. I don't know why. He was obviously driving a four-wheeled car, a car worth hundreds of thousands, but it didn't seem to run as fast as his father's little two-wheeled electric donkey. His father was only five miles ahead of him.

Minutes later, he failed to catch up with the little electric donkey that was supposed to be entering the repair yard. It wasn't until he came to the old house and the reeds that he saw the electric donkey that had stopped running.

It's only six o'clock.

The sun is hiding behind the clouds, dimly visible.

The old house, hidden among the reeds, is equally faint.

He walked quickly through the reeds and rushed to the old house. He saw his father and Tang Zhixue's mother, Wang Caixia! He heard his father's expression of embarrassment, complaining that he hadn't fully woken up in the morning.

The sleepy old lady said:

"Sister Wang, I came to you this time to tell you that your son's case has been solved..."

This is a heroic picture.

He found that he was still holding a camera in his hand. He raised the camera and wanted to find an angle.

But there was no highlight, it was still early, the highlight was still hidden behind the clouds, and there was no joy in the fragrance of birds and flowers.

On this ordinary morning, an ordinary old lady heard the news and was stunned for a moment. Then she took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

Her handkerchief is so ordinary, her figure is so ordinary, even her old age is ordinary. From any angle, this scene is so ordinary, so ordinary that there is no excitement, no excitement, no sense of excitement.

Heroic.

As soon as he admitted that his father might be a hero, he saw that his father seemed to be still the same father.

He suddenly thought of Yuan Yue's glance, and Yuan Yue's soft "hmm".

He suddenly squatted down, hid in the reeds, and pulled his hair hard.

"I can do that too!"

He wanted to say this, but he knew he couldn't.

He is willing to admit that his father is a hero, and there is no shame in being compared to a hero, but his father is just an ordinary person.

Mistakes will be made, and the case will have to be solved by other people.

It would be stupid to go to investigate a case and get scammed by shopping at tourist attractions.

This ordinary person does ordinary things over and over again, and then accomplishes extraordinary things.

"Are you awake?" Huo Ranyin said.

"I don't dare to wake up. I don't dare to wake up."

"Um?"

"Don't dare not wake up, don't dare not wake up." Ji Xun corrected himself. He exhaled, took back his hand against the door frame, and let Huo Ranyin in. "Captain Huo's way of waking people up is really unique."

"Your reaction is a bit disappointing." Huo Ranyin said, "To be blunt, shouldn't you kiss me instead now?"

"Isn't this a job?" Ji Xun said, "For the sake of Captain Huo sacrificing his appearance for work, I will tell you who the person I told you yesterday is-"

"Ji Xun," Huo Ranyin interrupted, "I don't need you to tell me who that person is, I can guess it myself."

"Oh——" Ji Xun was a little unhappy with Huo Ranyin's confidence.

He snorted secretly and changed the subject.

"You just said that Yuan Yue went to Yi'an County? It should not only be a good news to the guy behind the scenes who is advising him, but is he planning to take that guy over and make contact with Xin Yongchu?"

Xin Yongchu has always thought that he was the only one working on Tang Zhixue's case. He believed in the police, but he also resented the police.

This kind of resentment at the end of the road.

That's why he chose to poison with toffee, not only to force the police, but also to seek revenge.

Letting the person behind Yuan Yue come over will help to untie Xin Yongchu's knot and give him a slightly better answer.

"This will be handled by Captain Yuan. I'm not curious how he wants to handle it." Huo Ranyin looked cold and said, "Ji Xun, it's not during working hours now."

"Really? I thought Captain Huo wanted to work no matter whether he was awake or asleep day or night, and I was just satisfying you..."

"You were not so shy when we first met."

"..."

"You were very direct back then." Huo Ranyin commented.

"There's nothing strange about men being direct about their desires, right?" Ji Xun said.

"What about now? Interest, affection? It's too early to say affection, we haven't reached that level yet. It's interest and danger, right?" He lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "You are interested, and you feel the danger."

No matter when.

Whether at work or in private, Huo Ranyin is always so aggressive. Aggression is probably Huo Ranyin's most essential character. Ji Xun thought as he caught Huo Ranyin's gaze.

Huo Ran had a lot of spare time because he was fond of getting dressed.
