In an apartment near the sea in the Bay Area of M Country.
A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair on the balcony, facing the sea. He was wearing a white shirt, slightly open at the top, and there was a large pool of blood on his chest!
His eyes were closed and his lips were purple. He had obviously been dead for a long time.
A fat police officer from Country M hurried in and shouted loudly.
"What's going on? Where is Yuan Chen? At this critical moment, where did he die?"
The male police officer following behind him rubbed his hands nervously, "Sir, Officer Yuan said he had something urgent and would be a little late."
"What can be more urgent than a dead person?"
The male police officer stopped talking.
The fat police officer waved his hand and turned to the forensic doctor beside him.
"Alex, how's it going?"
Just as the forensic doctor was about to speak, a man ran in from the door.
"Sorry, sir, I'm late." He held an egg-filled pancake in his hand and ate it with relish.
"I got up a little late today and went to buy breakfast." As he said that, he took another bite of cake.
"Brother, are you mistaken? Even though people are dead, you still only care about eating." The fat police officer looked at him blankly.
"Oh, sir, this is our country's special snack. It's super delicious. It's hard to buy here. I happened to buy one and get one free this morning. Look, I have another one here. Sir, do you want to have a bite?"
Then, he took out another steaming egg-filled pancake from his pocket.
The fat police officer sighed helplessly, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." He motioned for Alex to continue reporting.
This little episode just now made everyone relax a little, and they almost forgot that there was a dead person sitting next to them.
"Preliminary judgment is that the deceased was stabbed in the heart with a sharp weapon. Judging from the size of the wound, the murder weapon was probably an ordinary dagger or the like."
Yuan Chen looked sideways and noticed that there was a pool of blood on the man's hand.
"The scars on his hands..."
"Oh, that should be the scar caused by the same sharp object." Alex explained.
"Wow, one knife can hit the heart, that's really accurate." He sighed silently.
"Did the forensics department find anything?" the fat police officer asked, looking at a blond woman squatting on the ground.
The girl has exquisite facial features and exceptionally clear dark blue eyes. Even wearing a uniform cannot hide her plump figure.
"Betty, you are here too."
"That's right, I came earlier than you." Betty smiled.
"Hey, why are you alone today? Where is that fat man?"
"Hey, don't mention him, he's a lazy person..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" the fat police officer shouted again.
"I told you that you are here to work, not to fall in love. Betty, please report immediately!"
Betty pouted and took off her gloves.
"I found two coffee cups on the coffee table, but there were no fingerprints left on the cups. In addition, there were no signs of the door being broken into, and there was no sign of a fight at the scene, so so far
So far, no suspected murder weapon has been found."
The fat police officer scratched his head, sat down on the sofa, and looked at the two coffee cups on the coffee table.
"Based on these two cups, it can be clearly seen that the murderer and the deceased had drank coffee before. The door has not been damaged, which means that an acquaintance committed the crime. As for the fact that there are no fingerprints on the coffee cup, it means that it is obvious that the murderer cleaned up after committing the crime.
Went to the scene and took away the murder weapon, it was that simple."
After he finished speaking, he stood up with a slap on his thigh, his face full of confidence.
"So, this is a murder case?" asked the male police officer next to him.
"That's not necessarily the case." Yuan Chen suddenly spoke. He had just finished eating the egg-filled pancakes.
"If I guess correctly, this should be a suicide case."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Betty looked at him with a faint smile.
"Why are you so sure he committed suicide?" the fat police officer asked.
After all, Yuan Chen's reputation is there. If you confront him, the possibility of being slapped in the face is extremely high.
"Don't you think it's strange? Since the murderer had time to erase his fingerprints and take away the murder weapon, why didn't he just take away the pair of coffee cups?"
The fat police officer didn't take it seriously.
"If the deceased committed suicide, where did the murder weapon go? Don't tell me that he ran away."
Yuan Chen gave a thumbs up.
"That's a good question. I don't know this question either."
The fat police officer was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that the famous police officer Yuan would also overturn his car.
Yuan Chen glanced around, and suddenly, he found something in the corner.
It was a breast expander, but the difference was that the other four springs were there, but the middle one was missing.
He walked over, closed his eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand.
As if welcoming a sacred moment to come.
The moment his fingertips touched the breast expander, his body showed no reaction.
Yuan Chen sneered.
"Humph, there was no reaction at all, and they said you didn't commit suicide."
He threw the breast expander to Alex and came behind the deceased's chair. Standing at this angle, he found that there were some blood stains on the glass door, but from such a long distance, it was hard to imagine how the blood got there.
above.
He walked to the window again, and this time he observed it very thoroughly.
"How's it going, detective, what did you think of?" the fat police officer asked.
"To tell you the truth, I just thought of it." Yuan Chen turned around and pointed at the treasure he just threw to Alex.
"There is obviously a missing spring on this chest expander. In addition, the deceased's current position of death means that the blood on his chest cannot spray so high or so far, all the way to the glass door. In addition, the door frame has
From the scratches and cuts on the hands of the deceased, I can roughly deduce that the thing should be like this:
In order to create the illusion that the murderer had been there, the deceased first brewed two cups of coffee, and then drank or poured it. It didn't matter. The most important thing was to wipe off the fingerprints on it.
Then he removed a spring from the breast expander, then used this spring to tie a knife on one side, and buckled the other side on the frame of the glass door. Finally, he aimed it at his chest, stabbed it with the knife, and then let go.
The knife will fly into the sea with the elastic force of the spring, so that no one can notice it."
After the analysis was completed, Yuan Chen snapped his fingers gracefully.
"So, everyone will naturally regard it as a murder case."
"But why did the deceased do this?" Betty spoke up. This was also a question that many people present wanted to ask.
"You have to ask this old man about this." Yuan Chen pointed at the deceased, and looking at his expression now, it seemed that besides pain, there was also a bit of humor.
"In short, as long as the murder weapon is found now, my reasoning will be correct."
"It's easy for you to say. Where can I find it in the vast sea?"
Yuan Chen rolled his eyes, looked at the fat police officer, and smiled ghostly.
"Bob, please lend me your iPhone 20."
He took out his mobile phone with some hesitation, "What are you doing again?"
Yuan Chen asked for a few pieces of cloth, wrapped the phone tightly, and asked Alex to remove a spring from the breast expander, tied the spring to the glass door frame, and hung the wrapped phone on the spring.
He pulled him to where the deceased was sitting.
Bob seemed to realize something, and quickly opened his big fat hands and rushed over.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't mess around!"
But it was too late, the phone shot into the sea like a flying cannonball.
"Fuck, that's my new phone!"
A mournful cry came from the lonely air.
In the Bay Area Police Station, several police officers were reporting on their work.
"Sir, according to the GPS system of your mobile phone, we found your mobile phone on the seabed and the dagger fifteen meters away."
"Sir, after the forensic examination, it was found that the spring was indeed removed from the breast expander. And the blood stains and fingerprints remaining on the dagger were all confirmed to belong to the deceased."
"Sir, the forensic doctor confirmed that the size and shape of the dagger are very consistent with the wounds on the deceased. In other words, the dagger is the murder weapon."
Facts passed into Bob's ears one by one, and he knew that he had been slapped in the face again.
"Oh, it's still fifteen meters short. There's such a huge error. I really failed." Yuan Chen said disappointedly.
"Even this doesn't prove that he committed suicide. What if it was the murderer's plan?" Bob still said stubbornly.
"I have asked the deceased's neighbors, and they all said that the deceased was a perverted gambler who once owed a large amount of loan sharks. His wife divorced and ran away with someone six months ago, and both his children were awarded to his mother. I
I also checked and found that he just bought a personal accident insurance policy two months ago, worth more than 10 million. It is obvious that he pretended to be murdered this time in order to defraud the insurance money and use it as a pension for his wife and children.
"
"Wow, Officer Yuan, Niu, you've seen through this trick."
Yuan Chen stuck out his tongue, "Don't just thank me, it's also thanks to Bob's iPhone 20 that we were able to solve the case so quickly."
Bob's face turned green when he heard it.
"In order to solve the case, he sacrificed his personal self and fulfilled his greater self. Well done Bob."
Bob turned his head and walked away with a green face.
At night, at home.
"Ding, ding, ding," the phone rang, and Yuan Chen picked up the receiver.
"Officer Yuan Chen?" came an extremely deep voice on the phone.
Yuan Chen was shocked. It had been several years since he came to Country M. Although he had met many Chinese people, few would directly talk to him in Chinese on the phone.
He couldn't help but become more vigilant.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, I just heard your name for a long time and I want to ask you for advice on some things." He spoke very slowly, obviously intentionally.
"What happened?"
"Well, it depends on you. Before I tell you, I want to observe you for a while to see your abilities."
"Stop pretending to be weird. I don't have time to waste time with you. If you don't tell me, I'll die."
"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Lou Mingwan?" the other end of the phone said coldly.
Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment, Lou Mingwan, this was his mother's name.
"How do you know my mother's name? Who are you?"
"Haha, Officer Yuan, don't worry, as long as you satisfy me, I will tell you the answer you want."
"What do you want me to do?" Yuan Chen slowly calmed down. He couldn't get any useful information from this man, so he had to temporarily obey his wishes.
"Within five days, I want you to return to the country. I will contact you again then. If you dare not to come back, humph, then you will never see Lou Mingwan again in your life." After finishing speaking,
, there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Putting down the receiver, Yuan Chen sat there blankly, his eyes becoming extremely empty.
When he was 18 years old, Yuan Chen got on a flight to Country M and officially started his study abroad career. On the day of farewell, all his relatives and friends came to bid him farewell, and naturally his mother Lou Mingyuan was among them.
"Mom won't be by your side anymore, so you have to take good care of yourself." She just said it lightly, but there were tears in her eyes.
At that time, Yuan Chen obviously did not realize the significance of this moment. He thought that his mother was just worried that his precious son would suffer alone outside, and he comforted his mother by saying that there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. However, he never thought that this parting was actually a reunion between mother and son.
The two met for the last time.
It was the night of December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Christmas in Country M is no different than that in China. It is quite grand. Yuan Chen and his friends had been having fun outside for a long time. Everyone was so drunk that they could hardly even walk.
At this time, a pleasant ringtone came, and Yuan Chen took out his cell phone. It was a call from his father.
"Ha, it's so strange that my old man still calls me."
"Don't answer the call. He must want to see if your kid is fooling around outside today. If he answers the call, you will definitely be finished."
The speaker's name is Hao Weida. He looks so strong that from a distance he looks like a bear walking upright.
He is one of Yuan Chen's best friends after he came to the United States. Maybe there are more topics between compatriots.
"Forget it, you still have to listen to the old man's words. Maybe he misses me." As he said that, he answered the phone with a slightly numb hand.
"Hello, daddy."
"Ah Chen, where are you now?" My father's voice trembled violently, full of tears.
"I'm out celebrating the festival, otherwise what else can I do, sleep?"
"Can you come back as soon as possible? Your mother..."
"What's wrong with my mother?" Yuan Chen asked quickly. At this moment, he was already more than half drunk.
"Your mother is missing."
Yuan Chen suddenly collapsed to the ground, the hand holding the phone trembling violently, and there was an indescribable bitter taste in his heart.
"What...when did it happen?"
"It's been a week and I've called the police.
Originally I thought she was just on a business trip and didn't take it seriously, but when I called the company today I found out that she had resigned a week ago."
Shock, incredible shock.
Yuan Chen's face froze, and he sat on the ground like a puppet, unable to speak for a long time.
Hao Weida and others only said that he drank too much and had an argument with the old man and lost his temper. They said hello and went back on their own.
Early the next morning, Yuan Chen got on the plane back to China. He couldn't wait for a moment.
I rushed home and found my father sitting alone on the sofa. He had obviously lost a lot of weight, his skin had become dull, as if covered with a layer of gray, and his hair had grown a lot more white, making him look extremely haggard.
After asking his father for some details, Yuan Chen went to search the places where his mother often hung out. Although these places had been searched countless times, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
However, it still failed.
Yuan Chen locked himself in the room and shed tears wantonly. He had been a very strong person since childhood and had long forgotten the feeling of tears. But at this moment, the intense grief made him unable to control himself anymore.
Opening the drawer, Yuan Chen took out a pack of napkins and wanted to wipe away his tears. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a letter standing in the corner of the drawer.
He quickly opened the envelope, and the letter was filled with the words "Gong Gong":
Dear Ah Chen, my child, when you read this letter, I will no longer be with you.
I don't want to use the word "death" because maybe it's not that time yet, but it will be a matter of time.
I'm sorry for you, and even more sorry for your father. The mistake was made at the beginning.
I was once one of "it".
Before I met your father, I had been living another life until I met him.
In the early days, I was both excited and nervous. Although things were getting better, I still couldn't completely let go.
It wasn't until your birth that day was the most important day in my life. I became a mother. At that moment, I felt that I had really let go and had the courage to face a new life. For you,
For your father, I am willing to give everything I have.
Until yesterday, I still imagined that I could live a peaceful and peaceful life with you. I really thought about it, and I really hoped for it, but finally, the person "it" found me,
The day has come.
Over the past twenty years, I have had nightmares about "it" from time to time. Even though I have escaped, "it" still tortures me. I have been close to collapse countless times, but when I think of you, I seem to have courage again. You are
Everything about me is also my biggest motivation to survive.
And now, for your safety, I have to leave.
Forgive me for not being able to tell you more. Some people may think I'm talking nonsense, but I believe you can understand what I mean because you are my child.
Ah Chen, you have to remember, never come to me, and never look for "it", it will only bring you danger. You are my hope, and I want you to live well, so,
Forget about mom.
I am very grateful to have you two for twenty years. These are the happiest days of my life. You will always be in my heart and I will love you forever.
An unqualified mother who loves you very much
The letter paper was wet with tears. This was my mother’s most loving confession.
From then on, the whereabouts of his mother became a knot in Yuan Chen's mind. After graduating from college, in order to track down his mother's whereabouts, he became a criminal policeman and secretly tracked "it" while solving the case.
With his extraordinary mind and unremitting efforts, he solved many major cases one after another and became quite famous in the past few years. However, there was no news from his mother.
Sitting on the domestic flight, Yuan Chen couldn't calm down.
The mysterious man's voice on the phone was extremely deep, and he might have used a voice changer. Yuan Chen really had no clue about his identity. Could it be related to "it"?
But despite all these years of secret investigation, "it" is still shrouded in mystery. It is only known that it is a mysterious organization, and its scope of activity is not limited to China. Other than that, Yuan Chen knows almost nothing about "it".
But this time, regardless of whether what the mysterious man said was true or false, he finally found a breakthrough, so he must come back no matter what.
