The background color of the oil painting on the wall is pure white, with layers of paint applied on the right side. The outline looks like a house cut into one third. The left side of the oil painting is blank. It is originally white, but it seems to have been splashed again.
The white paint was removed, causing the canvas to become uneven.
Zhou Boxue sat under the painting, with a little cigarette ashes on his shiny pointed leather shoes, and they were dusted to the ground after shaking for a moment.
Fang Mingxu retracted his gaze following the cigarette ashes and said to Zhou Boxue: "Mr. Zhou, first Xinyu... Miss Xinyu's condition has stabilized. She just needs to take medicine on time and keep her mood relaxed. I will prescribe some medicine for her here."
Mild medicine, slowly adapt to it, gradually reduce the dose, and you can bring her back in a few days..."
Zhou Boxue has always been a client of Mingxi Psychological Clinic, and his female companion is a patient of Fang Mingxu.
Zhou Boxue listened to him quietly. The cigarette held between his fingers burned to his buttocks and was thrown into the ashtray before it burned his hands.
"Fang Mingxu, Fang Mingxi, I almost forgot." Zhou Boxue looked at Fang Mingxu steadily: "If it weren't for Liao Xueming's disappearance and Han Wenwen's tragic death, I might not have suspected you. Doctor Fang? Fang Mingxi's brother, you are now avenging your sister.
?”
Fang Mingxu: "Mr. Zhou, don't be joking. I don't know the Fang Mingxi you are talking about. I am an only child and have no biological sisters...unless you are talking about cousins."
Zhou Boxue: "I heard that Dr. Fang was in a car accident. He was slightly injured because he was protected by his parents. However, both his biological parents died in the car accident? How old were you? Thirteen? Fourteen?"
Fang Mingxu looked unhappy: "I don't want to mention this matter."
Zhou Boxue leaned forward: "The Fang family does have an only son. He rarely goes out because of his frail health. No one knows whether he might have died of illness long ago." He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Before the car accident, Mr. Fang
The couple is completing the adoption procedures and has brought back a boy from the children's welfare home who is about the same age as their only son."
Fang Mingxu: "Mr. Zhou thinks I am the adopted boy?"
Zhou Boxue asked: "Is that so?"
"Absurd!" Fang Mingxu laughed angrily: "I said I don't want to mention this matter again! If Mr. Zhou's sudden visit is to expose someone's scars, I'm sorry I don't welcome your arrival." He pressed the call button on the landline and called to his assistant: "Please
Mr. Zhou, get out!"
The assistant came in quickly. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could feel the tense atmosphere. She asked Zhou Boxue, a major client of Mingxi Psychological Clinic, in a low voice to leave.
Zhou Boxue stood up cooperatively and suddenly asked: "Liang Xiaozhi used to be your patient?"
Fang Mingxu: "Who is she? I don't quite remember."
Zhou Bo smiled knowingly, "Dr. Fang, you are trying to cover up your situation." After a long pause, he said meaningfully: "Don't lose control."
After saying that, he left.
"No need to send it off. It might not be easy to meet next time."
Fang Mingxu was still in his original position, with his fingers crossed and his face stiff. When the assistant stopped talking due to worry, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Please don't pick up guests this afternoon."
The assistant nodded, and when he went out and closed the door, he thought to himself, Dr. Fang is so gentle.
In the empty office, Fang Mingxu lay on the table and struggled to suppress the urge to laugh. Thinking back to Zhou Boxue, who had just won, he seemed to have seen the truth, so he arrogantly appeared in front of him, the 'real murderer', to show off his superiority.
Husband.
Pretending to be profound and self-satisfied, he looks like a stupid donkey.

Dongcheng Branch Criminal Investigation Office.
"Both Liao Xueming and Han Wenwen died at the hands of the same person. The cause of death was that they bullied a girl when they were minors. The murderer's next target will be Zhou Boxue."
"Contact Zhou Boxue and ask him to cooperate with the police."
"Someone has been sent to contact us."
"Team Li, you asked me to transfer the case records from Xinzhou District." The criminal police comrade handed several printed files to Li Zan and said at the same time: "I took a look and they were all accidental homicide records. What are you looking for?"
What are you here for?"
Li Zan: "I'm so busy."
These words aroused the anger of the comrades of the surrounding detectives who were busy vomiting blood. They even threw useless folders and wanted to smash the annoying Captain Li to death.
"You have so much time to spare, why don't you share our suffering?"
"That's right! I have a pile of unsolved cases in Dongcheng District in recent years. Captain Zeng asked me to uncover cases that may be love murders or chaotic private lives... No, the names of some of the deceased are unknown, let alone investigating their private lives!"
"A bunch of unsolved cases, looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Captain Li--" Someone yelled like crazy and vented: "Come and help me when you have free time! I will give you my life if you help me!!"
Li Zan looked back at the bear-like appearance, shook his head in refusal, and hurried back to the office with the documents in his arms. He did not forget to encourage his colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Office: "You must be down-to-earth. Can you compare with me? You are the one who is the one who endures hardship and stands hard work."
As the only usefulness and virtue of Sun Tzu, Brother Xun said that young people should be a ruzi ox--"
Li Zan stepped into the office threshold, grabbed the door handle, looked around at the comrades who were quite serious and obedient, and said with such seriousness that he almost moved himself: "Keep in mind that your father's love is like a mountain, now is the time for you to be filial to your father."
…
"Get lost!", "Captain Li is getting more and more stupid.", "Are the higher-ups deliberately cultivating Ji Chengling?", "It's better to unseat Father Li and help Xiao Ji to take over. I'm sure Director Tong won't object."
"I agree, which one of you will usurp the throne?"
"..."
Everyone dispersed silently, thinking that the person who could bring down Captain Li was a hero. Heroes are easy to sacrifice, so they might as well continue to endure.
Li Zan was looking through several murder cases transferred from Xinzhou District in the office, including He Jiashi who died in a car accident, Cao Jia who was killed in the hotel, Fang Yuqing who committed suicide, and Zhou Bosi and Liang Huajun who died in a car accident.
Either the murderer committed suicide or died, or it was an accident. All cases were closed.
If Zhang Xi hadn't died in such a high-profile manner, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to see the light of day again.
Li Zan took out a pen and paper and drew a diagram of each person's relationship, the cause of death and the common points that may have overlap, and then superimposed them into a tree diagram with the deaths of Han Jingwen and Liao Xueming as the trunk.
Shaking his pen, Li Zan wrote "human trafficking" and Jingjiu Horse Racing Club outside the tree diagram titled "Multiple Organization Serial Murders", and finally circled Liao Xueming with a red pen.

Chen Jie asked Wang to help investigate Fang Mingxu. After getting the basic information, she went to investigate alone. Starting from Fang Mingxu's address, relatives and friends, she even interviewed his university tutor and classmates before he started working, and even found Fang Mingxu.
's high school period.
Early in the morning and late at night.
The Criminal Investigation Office is brightly lit, as bright as day, and the busy police officers are eating instant noodles while clicking the mouse, and the clock above their heads is ticking forward slowly.
Chen Jie rushed back in a hurry. Ji Chengling and Lao Zeng were exchanging information. When he saw Chen Jie like that, he called her over to exchange information: "What did you find out?"
Chen Jie raised the recorder in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said, "Fang Mingxu starts from the bottom."
"Awesome!" Ji Chengling thought and knew that the recording content must be very rich. Listening to it without filtering would be a waste of time and boring, so he simply asked: "Just tell the key points."
Chen Jie threw the recording to Wang and asked him to filter out the key information and intercept it as a direction for the investigation. Then she pulled up a chair and sat down to free her legs after running for more than ten hours.
"Dr. Fang of Mingxi Psychological Clinic is an only son. His parents were killed in a car accident. His relatives have not been around for a long time. Fang Mingxu is a good person. His classmates and tutors in college and high school still praise him for his good character and academic skills.
Excellent, a pillar of society." Chen Jie tilted her head and looked at Wang: "I asked Wang to check Fang Mingxi's family during the day, and her parents are different from Dr. Fang's parents."
Ji Chengling frowned: "Did you check wrongly?"
Chen Jie shook her head: "Fang Mingxu suffered from heart disease in his early years and often recuperated at home. His parents were killed in a car accident. At that time, the Fang couple came out of the children's welfare home and had just completed the adoption procedures. During that time, Fang Mingxu was almost alive.
The state of evaporation.”
Ji Chengling: "My single son is seriously ill at home. As parents, we should be so busy that we don't have time to adopt another child."
"That's the problem." Chen Jie asked Wang to retrieve Fang Mingxi's archives and asked Ji Chengling and Lao Zeng to come over and take a look: "The year Fang Mingxi's accident happened, social networks were underdeveloped, and the channels of communication were TV news and newspapers, but this way
It was easily cut off, so not much information can be found.”
Wang Dangdang: "Fang Mingxi's parents had no way to seek help, and were suppressed by the perpetrators. At that time, public opinion was easy to be guided, and if something like that happened, people would preconceptionally question the victim's lack of self-love. Fang Mingxi was 12 years old, just growing up, beautiful, and more loving
Beautiful, there are a group of boys surrounding her whether in school or in the community. In addition, the perpetrator is a minor, and there is Liao Xueming, who is under 14 years old... So the perpetrator was acquitted, protected, and had no criminal record.
Fang Mingxi suffered mental trauma and was pointed at. Fang's father ran around and was hit and killed while walking at night."
"The driver who caused the accident escaped and the Fang family was in even worse condition and was heavily in debt. Fang's mother was in frail health and died of illness a year later. Fang Mingxi and her brother were sent to a children's welfare home and were later adopted separately."
Ji Chengling's eyebrows jumped: "Fang Mingxu was adopted, his adoptive parents were also named Fang, and they died in a car accident on the day he was adopted?"
Chen Jie: "It's possible."
Lao Zeng: "Chen Jie, be sure."
"At that time, the adoption procedures were not entered into the computer, and were all recorded in duplicate on paper. The Fang couple's adoption records were burned in a car accident, and another children's welfare home closed down ten years ago. Information
I don’t know where to transfer it.” Chen Jie said: “The reason for uncertainty is not only that there is no adoption record, but also that the Fang couple’s only son has always been ‘Fang Mingxu’!”
Lao Zeng was a little unbelievable: "Are you saying that the social identity of 'Fang Mingxu' has always existed? There has been no change?"
"Yes!" Chen Jie: "The Fang couple who died in the car accident, their only son was 'Fang Mingxu'. His name has not been changed, there is no second child, and no child has died of illness. He has always been 'Fang Mingxu'.
"
Ji Chengling: "Fang Mingxi's biological brother pretended to be 'Fang Mingxu'?"
"More than that." Chen Jie spread her hands: "Fang Mingxi's younger brother is also called 'Fang Mingxu'."
Ji Chengling and Lao Zeng both exclaimed: "Isn't it such a coincidence?!"
Chen Jie: "Destiny is so clever."
Lao Zeng: "Check their previous photos, and you should still be able to find them in their admission files."
Chen Jie: "You have to go back to their elementary school and junior high school. At that time, electronic archiving was not yet popular, so you may not be able to find paper archives from more than ten years ago."
Ji Chengling: "Let's check. After dawn, go to Mingxi Psychological Clinic and bring the person back for questioning."
Chen Jie: "Okay."
Li Zan carried a piece of drawing paper out of the office, pasted it on Wang's desk, and pushed it forward: "Help dad make a more eye-catching ppt." He turned around and saw Chen Jie: "You are very confident, you should be rewarded.
few."
"That's necessary!" Chen Jie simply repeated what she had just discussed, and finally said with certainty: "The problems with Fang Mingxu are too big! I think he is the murderer and has not escaped! And he is a psychiatrist who is best at psychological suggestion and mental illness.
Guidance, maybe he is using his own expertise to commit serial murders."
Chen Jie's imagination was wide open and she boasted: "Boss, you said that this is a multi-person organization of serial murders. There must be a leader! Fang Mingxu fits the bill! Social status is as high as academic qualifications. People with good looks can be confusing. Life experience
It is bizarre and has a reason for the vendetta, which completely fits the characteristics of a serial murderer."
Li Zan waited quietly for her to finish playing and then asked lightly: "Have you checked Fang Mingxi?"
"--" Chen Jie stopped abruptly.
Li Zan: "The murderer may also be Fang Mingxi. After all, she is the direct victim and hates Liao Xueming and Han Jingwen even more."
Chen Jie pinched her earlobes, feeling suddenly frustrated.
Li Zan: "It's also possible that Fang Mingxi and Fang Mingxu are cooperating...or maybe it's not them, but someone else. Isn't the stranger who ordered the meal last time named 'Wang'?"
Chen Jie: "The last name may be fake."
Li Zan: "If he is the murderer, there is no need for him to use a fake surname."
Chen Jie: "Why is it not necessary?"
Li Zan: "He wants you to know him. He is confident that the police cannot find him, so using a fake surname is superfluous."
Chen Jie's proud little flame was extinguished in an instant. She slapped her cheeks with her hands and grinned. As expected of the boss, she knocked her back to the ground with a few words and continued to work down-to-earth.
Lao Zeng said with a smile: "Chen Jie did a lot of research, which is worthy of praise. Moreover, the orphanage that adopted Fang Mingxi closed down, the files and records were lost, and the clues were broken. I think it is a waste of time to start from this aspect."
Ji Chengling suggested: "You can check Fang Mingxu. If this Fang Mingxu is Fang Mingxi's younger brother, they should be in contact."
They looked at Li Zan and asked silently.
Li Zan didn't care: "Then check it out." He clapped his hands and was about to get off work. Suddenly he remembered something and knocked on the table to signal Wang: "Help me buy a ticket for the Guangdong-Jiang Xiliu Symphony Orchestra. I want it tomorrow...oh, 3 in the morning.
If you click, that’s your ticket for today.”
Wang's expression was a little cracked. The Guangdong-Jiang Xiliu Symphony Orchestra sold a limited number of tickets! The sales channel was closed on the day of the performance. Where can he find scalpers to buy tickets now in the middle of the night?!
Lao Zeng: "Isn't that a hobby for elegant and elegant people? Why are you joining in the fun, a solo trumpet solo?"
Li Zan touched his chin, he was broad-minded and didn't mind Lao Zeng's slander: "It's time to cultivate elegant artistic taste."
