——This place is smaller and more closed. Apart from trains, only national highway express buses are the main means of transportation.
Under the instructions of Brother Xingchen, Xueming wanted to handle this matter alone. Xiaoqi wanted to follow, but was stopped by Su Xingchen. The reason was that this girl's madness index was too high, and she might cause unnecessary trouble.
trouble.
After getting off the bus at Huainan Bus Terminal, Xueming bought a big umbrella nearby and took a taxi to Nancheng.
In the car, he read the passenger's information in detail——
——My name is Wu Donghong, forty-one years old.
Idle people in society have no formal jobs.
He has no family. He was imprisoned fifteen years ago and was just released last month.
The woman in the photo looks very "tricky"——
——She is a cunning and mean Diao, with her white eyes, merciless lips, slightly shallow nasolabial folds, extremely short philtrum, and big curly hair. It is impossible to tell that she is a forty-one-year-old sister.
.
The social network described in this passenger’s origin documents was completely blank after 2010. However, there were many detailed introductions before he was sentenced to prison.
Fifteen years ago, when she was twenty-six years old, she had unclear financial transactions with various executives of Xiangjiang Construction and Huainan Heavy Industry Group.
I had to look it up even earlier, and all I knew was that before Sister Hong finished junior high school, she married into a worker's family in the city near the train station and worked for a tailor shop in the market.
Since Wu Donghong was nineteen years old, vicious murders occurred at the train station, which were related to the local evil forces.
Her husband and mother-in-law were involved and were victims. She was the only one to survive. Since then, her personality has changed drastically and she has almost become a completely different person.
In the next seven years, she worked as a kindergarten teacher, remarried into a teacher's family, relied on her husband's family connections to work as a technical guide in a garment factory, and then joined the Huainan Heavy Industry Group, surrendering herself to jail with 70 million stolen money. Two families were involved in the murder.
companies were dragged down together.
Noteworthy places——
——The things Sister Hong did have clear direction.
In Xueming's eyes, this female criminal made a big circle in society before she was twenty-six years old. The targets of her prosecution were all those involved in the robbery and murder at the train station, just to avenge her husband and mother-in-law.
Seven years later, she completed her revenge in her own way, becoming a tainted witness and sending the people involved in the case to jail along with herself. After regaining her freedom, the teahouses, entertainment venues and other shops along the two scenic belts of Yuming River
The boss, when he sees Wu Donghong, he still calls out "Sister Hong".
After the investigation by police comrades and Su Xingchen, Wu Donghong’s profile is very interesting.
After she was released from prison, she didn't like to move around. The only person she had contact with was a staff member of the Elderly Cadre Activity Center, who was ten years older than her. She was 51 and died of illness during the Spring Festival.
This employee used to work at Huainan Newspaper Company, receiving foreign businessmen for the leaders, maintaining a very close relationship with the owners of various local hotels and nightclubs, and provided Sister Hong with a lot of evidence of gang-related crimes.
Sister Hong went to Jiujie Station this time to seek a panacea to treat the employee's elderly disease of hemiplegia caused by a stroke. However, the old man passed away before Xiao Hong could get the medicine.
After killing the armadillo hunter, due to lack of evidence, Sister Hong has been living in an old house behind the train station. She rarely goes out except for three meals a day, but there are an absurd number of people visiting her. In the past month, four people have visited her.
After more than ten visits, the staff was a mixed bag of people from all walks of life.
This is all the information currently marked on the file. When the taxi arrived at the destination, Xueming held an umbrella and ran into the rain, deciding to go to the crime scene first.
According to the information provided by the police, he came to the Wenwan Market near the thermal power plant, where Wu Donghong committed the crime.
The time came to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the cold rain of early spring drove away many customers. In the alley next to the vegetable market was the cultural and entertainment market. From the outside looking in, it was pitch black. Because the murder occurred during the Spring Festival holiday, there were no
Several shops are open.
Walk about 40 meters inside, turn two corners, and you will see a [Qingyuan Jade] store. The door is closed, and only a small security guard responsible for patrol remains here to cooperate with the investigation.
Xueming greeted the security man and expressed his intention to come. He showed his address book and the contact information of the police station on WeChat, and asked the security man to open the door for him.
As soon as the rolling shutter opened, Xueming smelled the strong smell of blood and felt the faint traces of psychic energy.
The scene is well protected and can almost recreate the scene at that time——
——Xue Ming bought two packs of cigarettes for the security guy and asked him to go to the stall to rest. Then he walked into the jade shop, starting from the door and slowly understanding the scene at that time.
As he went inside the door, he lowered his head and looked carefully at the marks on the handle of the mahogany chair. They were the cracks left by Sister Hong's body staggering and holding on to the handle of the chair when she fled in panic.
Further forward is a loop-shaped exhibit counter. Although the footprints on the ground are messy, some patterns can be seen.
Sister Hong was forced here by the hunter behind her. The hunter's height should be about 188 centimeters, which is very tall.
Going to the tea table, there were many pottery pieces of tea sets left on the ground. The boiling water mixed with human dander and other tissue fluids on the cement road, leaving shocking red marks.
Looking further away at the cash register, the counter was covered with dark brown blood stains. The cash drawer had been opened, and there were many twisted coins scattered on the floor.
The only surveillance camera in the store is broken. According to the date of the video recording, it was broken in June last year.
All the traces left at the scene, relying on Xueming's inspiration, can deduce a strange chase scene.
"She led the hunter into this store." Xueming said to himself and looked at the door: "From the door to the round counter, blood stains have begun to appear on the ground. That is not her blood - it is the hunter who is entering.
I was already injured before the market."
He immediately squatted down and observed the shape of the blood.
"There are two types of wounds. One is a puncture wound left before entering the shop. Blood will flow down the trouser leg. The other is a splatter of radial blood - a new wound added later."
The layering of the footprints and the later addition of blood, mud and dirt can also prove this. Sister Hong did not kill in defense, but premeditated and prepared in advance. She led the hunter into this trap, set up an ambush and killed the hunter.
"The induction cooker on the tea table cannot always boil water. She used boiling water and tea sets to stop the hunter. She also prepared props in advance and made an appointment with the hunter to meet here." Xueming followed these traces to the cashier: "The table's
There are many cracks in the corners, and these coins were stuffed into the hunter's mouth by Sister Hong's hand, just like..."
Saying this, Xueming raised an invisible "head" and slammed it against the iron drawer of the cash box.
What followed was a series of punches, and he took out chrome-nickel coins from the cashier and slapped them on the soft flesh of the imaginary enemy's facial features, trying to cut off the opponent's eyes so that the enemy could not cry out for help——
——Then he followed the dragging blood on the ground and arrived in front of the broken glass of the circular counter.
He pressed the invisible "enemy" in his hand into the T-shaped cabinet of the jade display stand.
"The whole process is like this, so how did this hunter lose his combat effectiveness?"
Xueming worked almost non-stop, rushed back to the laboratory and found the hunter's body——
——The corpse pulled out from the cold storage has been dried to the point of deformation. Many external injuries can be seen, including stab wounds from the market deboning knife, which are consistent with the scene reconstruction of the crime scene, burns or tears from pottery pieces on the tea cup, facial injuries.
Contusion of the nasopharynx and eyes, as well as damage to the eardrums of both ears, were like being hit hard with both hands and losing hearing.
What Xueming cares about most is not the damage caused during these execution stages, but the damage that makes the hunter lose his will to fight.
It came from the hunter's abdomen, above the belly button to be precise, from a bruise that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Before entering the vegetable market, Sister Hong fought with the hunter and left behind this punch.
It is an important acupuncture point that slams into the solar plexus, destroying sympathetic nerves in various organs, causing vomiting and discomfort, and even temporary shock and death. Before the official battle begins, Sister Hong has already touched the enemy's death door.
The impact point was very accurate, right in the center of the xiphoid process of the twelve thoracic vertebrae——
——Xue Ming pressed it gently and immediately noticed that the sternum had cracked. Violent exercise after that would only make the hunter die faster.
Despite this, there is still no evidence that this was intentional murder.
As Su Xingchen said, when Sister Hong was driven into the cultural toy market by hunters, a dozen or so neighbors could attest that she was being hunted and fled all the way to Qingyuan Jade's store.
Xueming decided to pay a visit in person, returned to the supermarket at the train station, and bought some fruits and milk near Sister Hong’s old house. Following the address, she found the sixth floor of the resettlement house——
——It was supposed to have only the fifth floor, but later an additional floor was added illegally.
Viewed from the high ground of the former site of the thermal power plant, there is a glass flower house on the roof of the six residential buildings next to the viewing pond, which is Sister Hong's current residence.
When I walked downstairs in the neighborhood, there were red firecracker residues everywhere. It was after the Spring Festival that migrant workers from all over the country returned to their hometowns, bringing some lively and festive notes to the elderly who stayed behind in the local area.
After squeezing into the narrow corridor and climbing all the way up, Xueming saw many cigarette butts on the stairs, left behind by people who had come to visit Sister Hong before.
Moving to the fifth floor of the top floor, the left and right sides were originally divided into two households. The neighbor's private house has been bought by Sister Hong and transformed into one household.
Xueming knocked on the door and was about to say hello.
A mature and neutral deep female voice came from the door.
"The door is not closed, come in."
Just walked in——
——Xue Ming heard the unique noise of an old record player. He looked to the living room on the left. No one was at home. There was only one vinyl record machine working in the hall. The narrow entrance in the middle corridor connected to another one on the right.
From the living room, a small staircase was built upwards, which leads directly to the illegal building on the sixth floor rooftop.
Xueming took off her shoes, put on disposable slippers and went to the roof.
In the glass flower room, he finally met the real owner.
It was a woman wearing a burgundy nightgown in the cold season of early spring.
She is just like the photo in the information, but the real person is more cunning than the photo.
She stood in the restaurant of the greenhouse, with her back to the guests, stepping on the oak board walkway, without shoes, raising her hands as if holding an invisible lover, dancing ballroom to the record music.
Xueming didn't speak or say hello, she just waited politely, waiting for the hostess to finish enjoying the peace and not wanting to disturb other people's spring break.
You must know that according to BOSS's approach, after each passenger completes the first mission, it can't wait to take these cuties back to the station to continue working.
After the dance ended, Wu Donghong finally turned around, rolled up the wide sleeves of his nightgown, and poured tea for Xueming.
"Who sent you?"
Xueming: "I am from the station."
When Sister Hong was pouring tea, she leaned over and took another look at Xueming——
——Her face was covered with heavy makeup, but it could not cover the slightly deformed apple of her right cheek, as if she had been slapped several times while fighting with the hunter.
There were bruises and strains on her arms, and her right thumb was covered with a plaster to treat bruises.
Her eyes are beautiful and sharp, like a hawk.
"So you came to chat with me?"
Xueming: "Yes, let's talk."
"Have you read all the information?" Sister Hong didn't notice anything. She sat next to Xueming and lit a cigarette by herself: "What do you call it?"
"Jiang Xueming."
"Good name."
"Where's the good?"
"It's such a cold day, and it's so cold to send me someone whose name is full of water and snow. It also has a little light, of course it's good."
"Sister Hong, I want to ask you a few things." Jiang Xueming decided to get straight to the point: "You just came out of prison and went to the station to ask for medicine. Why?"
Wu Donghong lifted his hair and glanced at Xueming——
——She watched for a long time, seeming to be observing the boy's demeanor, wanting to know the details and the purpose of the other person's visit, and also thinking carefully about whether to tell Xueming the story clearly.
Xueming immediately said: "I have a friend who likes to listen to stories - I want to tell him your story."
"Isn't it all written on the document?" Sister Hong told frankly: "There is a clerk in the Elderly Cadre Activity Center. He is ten years older than me. He used to work with me and helped me a lot. I have to help him.
.”
Xueming: "He died of illness in the end."
Sister Hong: "It's a good thing."
Xueming: “Can you elaborate?”
Sister Hong: "I came out of the women's prison, and his daughter drove to pick her up. She wanted to catch up with me - so I went."
"Then what?"
"I didn't expect that the big brother was so good at dancing when he was young, but he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed when he was only in his fifties. The doctor said that conservative treatment would cost more than 400,000 yuan a year - the son-in-law and daughter were both panicked."
"You must feel uncomfortable."
"Big Brother wants to die, but his children won't let him die. If he just gives up treatment, his family will not be able to survive - do you know what this means?"
Xueming thought for a moment——
"——How many children does he have in his family?"
Sister Hong: "There are three in total. Two elder sisters and one younger son."
Xueming: "Don't you want the old man to die?"
Sister Hong: "We are all filial children. How can we bear this notoriety? If the neighbors knew about it, they would probably be scolded for the rest of their lives. Huainan is not an economically developed city. You can just go to a residential building in the city casually."
Just shout a few words, and the people who come out to greet the guests are either half-grown left-behind children, or grandparents in their 80s and 80s. If Big Brother gives up treatment, all his children will become unfilial descendants."
Xueming: "Did you go to the Nine Realms because of this friend?"
Sister Hong: "It took a lot of effort. It's a pity that I didn't catch the last one."
Xueming: "The result is not satisfactory."
Sister Hong: "I think there is such a panacea in the world, which may allow Big Brother to live with dignity. Unfortunately, it is like a note on the passenger logbook. If a person's will to survive is not strong enough, then he is not far from death.
Before I could come back, I heard the sounds of crying and arguing in the ward coming from the other end of the phone - maybe he didn't want to see these children quarreling over such a filial title, so he left simply."
Xueming: "You killed the hunter, did you have any premeditation?"
Sister Hong was silent——
——She stared at Xueming again, there was no hostility in her eyes, but there was a very strong thirst.
This kind of eagerness can be regarded as the dual meaning of "curiosity" and "demonstration". It is exploring Xueming's specific identity and wanting to understand Xueming's role at the station.
Xueming immediately said: "I know BOSS very well, I just want to talk to you. I have turned into a butterfly, there is no need to hide anything, and I have no other evil intentions."
Sister Hong immediately said: "I don't like that chatty waiter. He talks too much."
Xueming: "What does it have to do with hunters?"
Sister Hong explained straightforwardly: "He has always talked about how terrifying and powerful hunters are. I was very curious, so I wanted to meet these people head-on - I was in the parliament when the station accepted the log and handed over the reward.
I [accidentally] lost my ID card at the director counter and wanted to try my hunter skills."
Xueming: "Just because your waiter is too verbose?"
Sister Hong: "That's right. If the boss doesn't want to change it for me, I will take the initiative to shut him up. He is like my ex-husband. I go out and go downstairs to buy groceries, and he can talk hundreds of words."
Xueming: "Which one?"
Sister Hong: "The first one. The one who brought me to the big city, introduced me to jobs, and taught me how to make clothes."
Xueming: "Died in a murder case"
Sister Hong immediately raised her hand, the gesture with the cigarette in it was full of aggression, and her eyes became terrifying and fierce.
Xueming immediately changed his mind: "Can we talk about this hunter?"
"He followed me all the way. He is also from Huainan. He happens to be from the same hometown. He is three years younger than me." Sister Hong regained her composure and told the story with great interest. "He wanted to get close to me. Maybe it was his first time committing a crime.
I don’t know either - but it can be seen that he seems to really need the panacea in my hand, and he asked me more than once if I would like to renew his string."
Xueming: "He wants to live with you?"
When Sister Hong talked about murder, she felt a strange sense of pleasure: "Haha."
Xueming: "That's stepping on the spot."
Sister Hong: “He wanted to have the word [criminal] written on his face, and was very curious about my address and family. I explained the details to him clearly, and we took the car back to my hometown. After cleaning up the housework in the Big Brother house, we paid
Call my waiter and come and deal with this hunter's matter."
Xueming: "Did you kill him?"
Sister Hong: "This boy is quite stupid. He dares to come to me alone. He is two heads taller than me and yet he is unsuspecting of me. He is like a little lamb entering the wolf pen - I will kill him and leave nothing behind."
Net tail, I just hope that this case can be spread to the station so that other hunters can open their eyes and stop provoking me."
Xueming: "Is it that simple?"
Sister Hong: "It's that simple."
Xueming: "Many people have come to see you these days."
"They are all former friends." Sister Hong pursed her lips and put out the cigarette butt: "When I came out of prison, there were more than 20 cars of people coming to pick me up from outside - some were in the lumber business, and some were making ceiling moulds.
, most of them were sisters from the garment factory, and now they have found good families. Maybe they want to make their business bigger and stronger, and they want me to show them the way. There are also some who have been wronged and bullied over the years, and they want me to help make the decision.
"
Xueming: "Do you still have contact with your previous family members?"
"Who are you asking?" Sister Hong raised her eyebrows and wanted to take Xueming's hand.
Xueming immediately avoided it and wrote and drew in the diary, leaving Wu Donghong's characters in the diary.
"Your ex-husband, that teacher."
Sister Hong said meaningfully: "He teaches, I kill people and set fires - how can we be a family?"
Jiang Xueming: "Have you ever thought about going back to the station?"
"Aren't you waiting for an opportunity?" Sister Hong clapped her hands and smiled.
Jiang Xueming: "The BOSS will always assign you tasks."
Sister Hong: “It’s different to proactively ask others to do things and wait for others to come to you.”
Jiang Xueming finally woke up——
——This sister refuses to go to the station to resume work. She has a huge appetite.
Sister Hong's eyes were full of innocence, like a pure little white flower, and she continued: "Look, aren't you waiting for me?"
"I'm getting married this year, Sister Hong. I'll send you an invitation when I get the chance." Xueming put away the diary and finally explained his purpose: "You can meet Ms. Fenxing in the Sunrise Cabin at the station. Next to it is my club, called
Anonymous - I need a housekeeper, if you're interested."
Sister Hong interrupted: "Congratulations!"
Xueming: "Thank you."
Sister Hong: "You help me find my waiter, and I will come work for you."
Xueming thought for a while and asked very straightforwardly.
"Sister Hong, as far as I know, BOSS will arrange the most suitable soul mate for each passenger - according to what you said before, this waiter brother should be in line with your aesthetics, even if he is very verbose,
Very similar to your first husband, I don’t know what you mean”
"That's the literal meaning." Sister Hong squinted her eyes and held her hands in front of her chest: "Xiao Jiang, do you know? Everyone has their own fixed attributes, and they all look forward to the grace of a savior - no matter the East or the West, in the
Huainan City is a corner, and people like to use connections to go through the back door to get all kinds of conveniences and privileges, get a sense of security, and always meet a few noble people to help them."
"My first lover was my savior. He brought me to live in the city. He gave me a very sweet marriage and gave me a taste of love. He made me understand that the whole world is not like my hometown.
A few paddy fields, not a few mountain roads - but until he died, I realized how absurd and terrifying this rule of survival was."
"Now I ask you to let this annoying waiter leave me. Every time I see him, it is like a mirror, reflecting my weak and incompetent past - even if it is true, as you said, he is my soul mate
.”
"But have you ever thought about it?"
Sister Hong lit up a second cigarette, with burning fire in her eyes.
