Su Hui looked out of the car, the rain was still falling, so raindrops hit the window, then fell down, and then new raindrops fell, like an endless cycle.
Looking at those continuous raindrops, he fell into mories.
Twenty days ago, Tan Ju ca to his house to find him. It was not a pre-arranged eting. He was still wearing pajamas at that ti, and the house was ssy, with the curtains drawn, it was pitch black.
When Tan Ju ca in, he welcod him into the living room. Aristotle slept in the center of the sofa. Hearing soone co in, he woke up from a sweet dream and ran to the corner with a swish.
Su Hui felt that he should pour a glass of water for Tan Ju, but he had run out of disposable cups at so point, and all the glasses hadn't been used for a long ti and were covered with dust.
In the end, it was Tan Ju who said, "No need to rush, I just drank water, I'll sit for a while and leave."
Su Hui gave up and sat on the chair opposite Tan Ju.
Tan Ju said: "Su Hui, I received your reinstatent application. I ca today to talk to you about returning to the front line."
Su Hui whispered: "In the past two years, I have been imrsing myself in academics and have been excluded from those cases. But I feel that I am still young, my wounds are almost healed, and I feel that I need to go out into the world, fulfill myself, find sothing to do.
Tan Ju nodded: "Su Hui, I understand your fra of mind and your choice. I will consider your situation and arrange a suitable position for you. And I am here today because I have a case here. The police officers are *helpless and I'm unable to devote more police force, I don't know if you are willing to try..."
Show/Hide Note*(shu shou wu ce) lit: to have one's hands bound and be unable to do anything - Fig: helpless in the face of a crisis.
Su Hui lowered his head and saw a photo of a girl on the top. His eyes were hazy, and when he got closer, he could see it clearly. The girl in the photo was smiling, and people couldn't help being fascinated by the smile, it was infectious.
Su Hui has seen this photo more than once. Once he passed by the school gate, a girl in the class was volunteering and gave him a missing person notice. The flier used this exact picture of the girl.
At that ti, Su Hui stopped and asked, "Who is this?"
The female student said, "It's Pei Weiwei."
Su Hui didn't read the words carefully, and asked her, "What happened to her?"
The female student shook her head: "No one knows, she got into a taxi one night and disappeared since then, so everyone is looking for her."
Holding the flyers in her arms, the female student continued, "I'm only twenty years old, and she was the sa age as . I've thought about how anxious my parents and my siblings would be if I were to disappear, and would my classmates help them find ?...and furthermore would the police be able to find ?
Su Hui nodded, he understood. At the sa age, people had a lot of common experiences, and it was easy for these young girls to feel this sense of substitution.
Pei Weiwei was not distant existence, she just like the people around them...
Su Hui knew that the materials Tan Ju brought now concerned Pei Weiwei.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the thick docunt on the table. He didn't know who organized the docunt, but it was obvious that they were very careful.
Su Hui pursed his lips, flipped the volu, held it before his eyes, and distinguished the words on it.
There was a ti when he thought of himself as an ostrich, blind to all the evil in the city.
Being with those energetic students could make him forget the killings, forget the deaths, and he even skipped the negative information when watching the news on TV and surfing the Internet.
But just because he avoided it didn't an that those evils would disappear, that they would cease to exist.
This girl, the sa age as his student, should have had a bright future.
Su Hui looked through it carefully, and Tan Ju did not speak.
Then Su Hui replayed the information and said, "I need to et the murderer, Song Rongjiang."
*Whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it. He had also paid attention to this case before, and the crux of finding Pei Weiwei still lied in Song Rongjiang's hands.
Show/Hide Note*(jie ling hai xu xi ling ren) Lit: Whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it (idiom) - Fig: whoever started trouble should end it.
Tan Ju agreed: "Okay, I will contact you when I go back, this is not a job, don't be too stressed, you can treat it as an adaptation, an excess, I will contact you directly without going through those lengthy procedures. Tell if you need it, and I'll let soone arrange it. It's just that the school is not the sa system after all, you need to say hello and stamp it yourself..."
Su Hui humd.
Tan Ju sighed: "There are many people in this city who need you... Su Hui, just as I said to you at the ti, the General Bureau will always welco you back. But now the protection system of anonymity has been broken, It's too unsafe for you to live alone, and I'm considering arranging a police officer for your daily protection..."
...
"Is it here?" Lu Junchi's voice pulled him back to reality from his mory.
Only then did Su Hui realize that Lu Junchi had already driven his car into his community and parked it downstairs during the period when he was stunned. For the convenience of taking classes every day, Su Hui bought a house near the Chinese Police Academy. Basically, it took less than ten minutes to walk across the street.
Su Hui got out of the car, hesitated for a mont, suddenly rembered sothing, raised his head, and said, "Captain Lu, I have another thod about the mutilation case, maybe you can try it."
He troubled Lu Junchi tonight and even ate soone's dinner. He felt that he should do sothing to make up for it.
Moreover, sotis haste is not enough, and he wants to temporarily take himself out of Pei Weiwei's case in order to find a better breakthrough point.
Lu Junchi seed to see the firefly of hope in the dark night, pressed the car window, and asked him, "What is it?"
Su Hui replied: "I can't explain in a sentence or two. I need all the details of the case. Can you send it to tonight?"
Lu Junchi replied: "Okay."
Then Su Hui thought back, "I have two classes tomorrow, wait for to talk about it after class."
"If you want to talk about the case, it's better to find a conference room, and you can also introduce the thod to my team mbers." Lu Junchi warmly suggested.
Su Hui hesitated for a mont and said, "Alright then, I'll go to the General Bureau after class tomorrow to find you."
Lu Junchi didn't dare to let the half-blind glass beauty co over by himself: "I'm the one who troubled you this ti, I'll go to the Chinese Police Academy tomorrow and pick you up. Let's make an appointnt online for the specific ti."
When Su Hui returned ho, he first took a bath and changed his clothes. He was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he filled a cup of cold dicine and sat at the table.
In a ssy ho, there was only a small blank space on the coffee table. Su Hui suddenly rembered that the WavePuzzle7 he bought last ti had not yet been solved. Sitting among the piles of clothes on the sofa, he took out the orange puzzle.
Just like the last puzzle, this set of puzzles was very small, and the white tray is bigger than the palm of your hand.
Each piece of the puzzle was like an orange-yellow jelly that looks shiny.
With the idea from last ti, Su Hui first tried to see if he could spell it diagonally, and then he found that this idea was wrong.
Even in the sa series, different puzzles were very different.
He reflected for a mont, not trying to solve different puzzles with the sa idea.
Then Su Hui looked at the undulating color blocks and rembered the na of the puzzle, WAVE. These color blocks were also undulated like waves. There was no solution to fight against the shape of the wave, he can only try to conform to those protrusions.
Determined the idea, found the law. Soon, five pieces were stuck together, and then the other two were stuck at the ends.
Su Hui put down the puzzle, leaned back on the sofa, and put his hands in Aristotle's soft fur.
His thoughts, like this puzzle that had beco regular from fragnts, beca clearer.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the independent conference room of the Major Cris Unit, the team mbers arrived early and prepared for the eting.
In the Huadu General Bureau, the Major Cris Unit could be regarded as the top configuration. They not only had special offices and independent conference rooms, but they could also mobilize the manpower of each criminal investigation team, and had the authority to view various docunts. And whether it was an autopsy, or physical examination, from top to bottom, level priority, was a green light all the way.
But correspondingly, they needed to solve various vicious cases in Huadu quickly.
It had only been more than a week since the discovery of the severed limbs, and a great breakthrough has been made.
The city's black market for abandoned cars had been rectified collectively.
The downstream market of selling stumps was cracked down by the police, multiple platforms and related groups were blocked, and the other two buyers were also arrested.
But the mysterious butcher was still missing.
In today's conference room, the protagonist of the eting, whom Captain Lu Junchi was late to pick up, had not yet arrived, and several team mbers started gossiping on their own.
Although the Major Cris Unit had great authority in the Huadu General Bureau, apart from the team leader, there were only four core mbers.
In addition to Qiao Ze and Da Zheng Bai, who often went out with Lu Junchi, there were two others, one was the only female mber of the team, Xia Mingxi who was in charge of collating information, and the other was an experienced old criminal policeman Qu Ming.
These four team mbers were carefully selected by Lu Junchi from the grassroots police officers, each had their own strengths.
Qiao Ze had an active mind, had learned to program, and was proficient in computer operation.
Zheng Bai's military force was generally recognized as the highest, and his marksmanship was second to none in the General Bureau.
Qu Ming had a wealth of criminal investigation experience and even had the skills to track and identify based on footprints. He had the best relationship with people outside the team. He had a lot of "relationships" up and down the General Bureau, he was a sly *old fox.
Show/Hide Note*old fox - Fig: cunning personL
As the only girl on the team, Xia Mingxi was absolutely indispensable. She *showed every possible consideration when comforting family mbers, and she was *thorough when filling in the information. She could effortlessly wangle a few people that even the big guys couldn't handle, and could ask for testimonies that others couldn't get. At the sa ti, she had a bold and vigorous temperant, clear love and hate, and she was never timid in the face of those murderers. She was in a crowd of n all year round, however, she was not emotionally enlightened, and was still single to this day.

It was the height of sumr at this ti, however, the air-conditioning in the conference room was strong enough. Qiao Ze incessantly ran his mouth: "It's not saying it, this Teacher Su is really miraculous. I haven't t him many tis. Last ti he was just sitting on the side eating, spoke casually, and pointed out the crucial points..."
Xia Mingxi had short hair and a pair of almond-core eyes, and was always straightforward: "This one, you are *blowing excessively, aren't you?"
Show/Hide Note*(chui) Blow - talk big and boast
Qiao Ze said: "Really, I'm not exaggerating. He instantly pointed out that the murderer might have changed his appearance to look like a woman, otherwise, I might still be looking through the surveillance videos up to now."
Xia Mingxi disagreed: "This is because you have no actual combat experience. If I was there, I would have been able to think of it."
Qu Ming laughed and said, "Yes ah, so people have two faces with or without makeup, which is comparable to the human skin masks in martial arts novels."
Qiao Ze rembered sothing and said, "Oh, by the way, the matter of rummaging through the trash was also proposed by Teacher Su."
After hearing this, several team mbers frowned, as if they had returned to the huge garbage dump full of stench.
The whole team and more than ten people from the two criminal investigation teams searched for a whole day before they found the trash bags.
Although everyone was very happy to get the indistinct fingerprints of the murderer, the experience of going to the garbage dump in those days almost caused a psychological shadow on these elites and beca a nightmare for the whole team. Now they had finally found the "culprit".
Zheng Bai suddenly realized: "Ai, I said that with Captain Lu's mysophobia, how could he suggest we go to the garbage dump to dig through the trash, it turned out that there was an expert giving him directions!"
Xia Mingxi unconsciously sniffed her cuffs, but luckily there was only the sll of laundry detergent on it: "I took a shower when I went back that day, I used half a bottle of shower gel to suppress the sll."
Qiao Ze continued: "Also, the matter of having us reexamine the scene before was also Teacher Su's suggestion."
Xia Mingxi answered: "Then you an, this Teacher Su suggested that the Captain should look for other vehicles, told him that the murderer might be a woman, and then asked us to dig through garbage?"
Qiao Ze humd.
"So, the images and indistinct fingerprints we obtained were all found under his prompting?" Xia Mingxi narrowed her eyes and said, "It sounds like this teacher is a little interesting, and I'm looking forward to today's eting. ."
Qu Ming said: "I don't think these are very fine and delicate, I would say they are all stupid thods, and there is an elent of luck in it. The main advancent of the case is that the Captain found the identities of several victims, caught that pervert who bought the stump, and then dug up the underground black market. Besides, although we have advanced the progress of the investigation, we are still far from solving the case, and the 'Butcher' is still elusive."
Sotis there was a lot of evidence, but that did not an that the case could be successfully solved. Until the evidence chain is complete and the whole truth is revealed, everything is still variable factors, you could not relax your vigilance.
Qiao Ze said: "Anyway, I think this Teacher Su is quite a god. Of course, he can't compare to the Poet."
This sentence caused everyone to feel sad, Qu Ming sighed: "I still miss the ti when the Poet was there."
Among the team mbers, only Zheng Bai was transferred from the lower bureau last year. He had never dealt with the Poet but had always heard the na ntioned by several colleagues. At this ti, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "You guys, is the poet you are talking about really that divine?"
