The morning mist shrouded a corner of the city, making the city that had not yet fully awakened look quiet and peaceful. A middle-aged man led a dog and slowly jogged out of the morning light, checking the watch on his wrist while running.It was a quarter to seven, and after another roundabout, he could go back to the community, buy breakfast and go back to wake up his wife and children. This was his homework that he had to do at the same time every day. Suddenly, the yellow husky tied by a rope began to bark restlessly, and some impatient barks echoed in the deserted street, which made him a little uneasy.The dog is very peaceful on weekdays, and he did not deviate from the familiar route in his morning run today. Why did the dog behave in such a weird way?

The middle-aged man tried to tighten the rope and yelled at the dog in a low voice to calm the dog down, but to no avail.On the contrary, it seemed to be dissatisfied with the behavior of the owner who tried to suppress it. The husky struggled hard, scratched hard with his paws, and finally pushed forward, broke free from the rope, and ran away. "Lulu, come back!" The middle-aged man looked at the way home, hesitated for a moment, and chased in the direction where the husky disappeared.This dog is his son's favorite pet. If it is lost like this, his son will be very sad. Fortunately, the husky was still barking all the way, chasing after the barking, and was not far behind.The middle-aged man listened carefully, the barking of the dog seemed to be getting closer, with impatience and anxiety that he had never heard before.But at least the dog should have stopped, which reassured him a little.

After running for a few more minutes, an open field appeared before my eyes.This is a landfill not far from his home.When the community was first built, the developer clearly stated that the garbage dump would be moved out, but it has been delayed for several years and has not been fulfilled.A group of their owners quarreled and quarreled, and finally they simply walked around, out of sight and out of mind. From a distance, he could see the huskies surrounded by something, calling constantly, jumping around in circles from time to time, turning a deaf ear to his calls, as if he had lost his soul.He frowned suspiciously, and walked towards the husky. This dog has never walked this way before, so why did it suddenly come here?

When the husky saw him approaching, he screamed and ran over. "Lulu, be quiet!" The middle-aged man grabbed the rope around the dog's neck and looked forward carefully. He has never passed this garbage dump at such a time when the sky is about to dawn, and now it seems that the garbage dump in the haze is like a huge monster with messy limbs, sweeping a strange vortex of black holes, it seems that it is about to close at any time People devour.The fear of the unknown made him hesitate. As if sensing the master's retreat, the husky finally got down obediently, barked loudly again, and was eager to move forward.Looking along the place where the husky roared, at first a hazy shadow gradually became clear in his sight.The middle-aged man secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was an old sofa that someone left here. The back of the sofa facing him had been scratched and mottled.

He collected himself, led the husky forward, and reprimanded casually: "Isn't it just a sofa? Lulu, why are you so excited? Go back and punish you..." This half sentence came to an abrupt end when he turned to the front of the sofa, his eyes widened in horror, the soles of his feet seemed to be frozen in place, and the husky's bark echoed in his ears, but his hands and feet couldn't help trembling, his face pale. Qingbai, with his mouth half open, could no longer make a sound. On the sofa, a woman was sitting quietly, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, the ends of her hair had already been soaked in blood, her head was hanging limply on the back of the sofa.The woman's eyes were closed tightly, her face was as white as paper, and under the light of the morning sun, there was a smear of blood at the corner of her mouth that was shockingly coquettish.But what didn't match this ashen expression was a faint smile on her lips.

What was even more bizarre than this was that the white sweater on the woman's body was soaked in a large area with blood, which was shocking. Her left arm was hanging limply on the armrest of the sofa, while her right hand was holding a blond doll tightly.The doll's clothes were already stained with blood, but her fair skin and a pair of big, empty eyes added a chill to the chilling atmosphere. The visual impact of this picture was so strong and shocking that the middle-aged man couldn't react until the husky scratched his trouser leg fiercely, and he let out a cry of pain. He took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Yes, call the police, call the police..." The shrill siren cut through the busy morning.It was working hours, and many people came and went, which naturally attracted nearby residents to stop and watch.The police cordoned off the garbage dump to dissuade the crowd of onlookers. A police car stopped not far away, the door opened, and two figures stepped down. "Are all these people idle? How come there are so many people watching the excitement?" The one who spoke was a young man who got off the police car first. He was tall and slender, with a baby face that looked extremely cute, with watery eyes, thick eyelashes like a small fan, a small and firm nose bridge, and curved lips like a boss. With a smile, coupled with porcelain-like skin, a delicate and distinct melon-seeded face, and soft short hair, the whole person has a childish innocence.Seeing the crowd at the scene, he shrank his neck subconsciously, like a timid child.

"Cheng Che! How many times have I told you, can you stop showing such a blank expression? You have to know, you are already a policeman, do you have this self-awareness?" The dissatisfied reprimand came from the middle-aged man beside Cheng Che. This man had a natural majesty on his face, and sharp and wise eyes were revealed in his eyes. When he yelled at him, Cheng Che immediately puffed out his chest. Whenever the team leader called him by his first and last name like this, he was on the verge of breaking out. His past experience told him that if he didn't want to test the team leader's endurance, it was best to know each other. shut up.

"Well, team leader, let's check the scene as soon as possible." Cheng Che pointed to the security circle and slipped away first. Dong Peng looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, "It's really hard to take care of the newcomers. When will this kid mature?" After finishing speaking, he also followed. The two took out their documents and entered the cordon smoothly.As soon as he entered, a police officer immediately came forward, "Officer Dong, the body is a young woman. The first person who discovered it was a resident who went to exercise nearby in the morning. We are taking notes for him. The forensic doctor Shang also came, and we just started. Check the body, as for the identity of the deceased, it is still under investigation."

"Okay, keep checking." Dong Peng nodded, took out a pair of white gloves, and handed them to Cheng Che. Cheng Che looked at him inexplicably, "Team leader, what do you want me to do?" "See a doctor for an autopsy." Cheng Che's face changed suddenly, he stared at the white gloves, took a step back unconsciously, and swallowed, "Isn't the forensic doctor Shang already doing the autopsy? I don't need it..." "Don't continue? I'm tired of raising my hands. Where are you talking so much nonsense?" Dong Peng's eyes swept over him like lightning, "We are the police, are we still afraid of dealing with dead bodies? Don't embarrass me, hurry up!" The last three words were almost yelled out, causing others to look sideways.

Cheng Che touched his nose, not daring to complain anymore, took the gloves, and hurriedly ran towards the corpse. Dong Peng didn't follow, but flipped through the photos and records at the scene, and then looked around the sofa where only a doll was placed where the corpse had been removed.After a while, he asked for an evidence bag from the policeman, put on his white gloves, and carefully picked up the doll and put it into the bag. After doing all this, Cheng Che happened to come back.Still holding a notepad in his hand, he stood still in front of Dong Peng, took a few deep breaths, his face looked a little paler than before, and he looked like he was about to vomit at any time. "Finish? It's inevitable for newcomers to have some discomfort, and you'll get used to it gradually." Dong Peng calmly patted Cheng Che on the shoulder, "What does Forensic Doctor Shang say?" "The deceased was stabbed in the back, and the murder weapon was stuck in the wound. According to the preliminary judgment, this was a fatal injury, but whether there were other injuries on the body, we need to go back and do a detailed inspection. Judging from the degree of stiffness and spots on the corpse, the preliminary judgment of death The time is before midnight." Cheng Che finished the report in one breath. "Gone?" "That's all. Forensic doctor Shang said that he will send the autopsy report to your office later. This is the dagger found on the corpse." Cheng Che said, took out another evidence bag and handed it to Dong Peng, which contained There is a small knife with an ordinary appearance, but it is covered with blood. Dong Peng reached out to catch the dagger, and handed the doll he had just held to Cheng Che.Cheng Che held it up in front of his eyes and asked suspiciously, "This is it?" "It was placed on the sofa with the corpse. I have seen it. The sofa where the corpse is placed is very old. If I guess right, it should be something that existed in the garbage dump. You can ask the workers in the garbage dump about this later. Sure, but the strange thing is that this doll is very new, obviously it was moved here later, the murderer killed someone, and deliberately put a doll beside it, I don't know what the purpose is." Dong Peng looked at the evidence bag dagger, casually replied. Cheng Che frowned, holding the doll in his hands, but it was indescribably harmonious.He stared at the doll with his black eyes, suddenly slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "I remembered!" Dong Peng was taken aback by him, "Did you take the wrong medicine?" "No, team leader, do you still remember Wu Xiao, the most admired novelist I mentioned before? He has a book called "Doll's Killing Intent". The murderer in the book is based on a nursery rhyme about dolls. Come to kill, I remember that song is sung like this: "My sister hugged the doll and came to the garden to see the flowers. The doll cried and called mother, and the bird on the tree called chirping"..." "Okay, I understand what you mean." Dong Peng waved his hand, interrupting Cheng Che's singing. Cheng Che looked very excited, his eyes were shining brightly, "I remember that in that book, there was a dead man with a doll in his arms." "You mean, the murderer's way of committing the crime is imitating that book?" "I think it must be! Team leader, this murderer must also be Wu Xiao's book fan!" As soon as Cheng Che finished speaking, Dong Peng gave him a slap on the head, "We need to pay attention to evidence in our investigation, not rely on subjective guesswork. Do you think you can solve the case with a detective novel?" "But I read Wu Xiao's book since I was a child, so I determined to be a policeman." Cheng Che scratched his head and murmured. "It's because your motives are not pure, that's why you always act like a rookie! Close the team, go back to the game, and sort out the evidence and clues." "Of order." Cheng Che saluted and responded cheerfully. It was approaching six o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been nearly twelve hours since the time for the murder case to be reported.After a busy day of running around, Cheng Che finally knocked on the door of Dong Peng's office. "Come in." "Team leader, I'm here to report the results of the investigation." Cheng Che opened the door and walked in. He stood still in front of Dong Peng's desk, and when his eyes touched a novel titled "Doll's Killing Intent" on the desk, he was immediately attracted. Pay attention to them all, and ask enthusiastically, "Leader, are you reading this book too? Is Wu Xiao's book well written?" "Talk about business." Dong Peng mercilessly quenched his enthusiasm. Cheng Che scratched his head, and then looked away from the novel, "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. She is a resident of a nearby community. Her name is Liu Huihui. She is 29 years old. She lives alone and rarely interacts with her neighbors, so everyone pays attention to her." I'm not familiar with it, and even the owner who rented the house to her can't tell more details." "Young women who are single and living alone have more reasons to be killed." Dong Peng pondered, "Did you get the autopsy report?" As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open again, and a man in a white robe walked in casually, "To show my sincerity, I delivered the report myself." Cheng Che is no stranger to this person, he is the youngest and most promising forensic doctor in the entire Public Security Bureau, Shang Yunxuan.Shang Yunxuan stepped forward unceremoniously, a pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes glanced at Cheng Che, and Cheng Che immediately touched his face subconsciously.Shang Yunxuan not only has first-class work ability, but also has a handsome face, which makes the female colleagues in the bureau treat him like a dream lover.This made Cheng Che even more repulsed by his baby face. Without raising his head, Dong Peng stretched out his hand, "Bring the report." Shang Yunxuan handed over the autopsy report in his hand.Dong Peng didn't open it to look at it, but put it aside casually, and then said, "How's the situation? Yunxuan, please explain." Shang Yunxuan spread his hands and made a look of "I guessed it", "The time of death of the deceased can basically be delineated between 11:00 and 1:00 in the middle of the night. Some police officers found blood in the garbage dump. After testing, It matches the deceased. There was only one knife wound on the back of the deceased. The cause of death was that a dagger was stabbed forcefully through the internal organs. On the waste sofa where the corpse was found, only the hair and DNA of the deceased were extracted, as was the doll in the arms of the corpse. .” "That……" "That is to say, the murderer killed Liu Huihui in the garbage dump, then moved the body to the sofa, and then put the doll away." Cheng Che couldn't wait to analyze, completely oblivious to Dong Peng, who was interrupted by him, asking him Cast a displeased stare. "It seems to be true at first glance, but what is the case, you still need to investigate hard." Shang Yunxuan yawned lazily, obviously also saw the novel on Dong Peng's desk, "You are investigating Wu Xiao?" "Forensic Doctor Shang, do you know Wu Xiao too?" Cheng Che asked hastily, as if he had found a confidant again. Shang Yunxuan asked instead: "A person who has been dead for several years, what is there to investigate?" Dong Peng also raised his head to look at Shang Yunxuan at this time, "Xiao Che suspects that the murderer imitated the murder method in this book, why? Is there a problem?" "No, I hope you will gain something soon." Shang Yunxuan said, stroking the white robe on his body, "I'm going home to sleep." "It's only six o'clock." Cheng Che was quite surprised. "No one has stipulated a certain time before you can go to bed. Besides, I have worked hard for you all day, and my energy is seriously exhausted. What can I do if I don't have a good rest?" out of Dong Peng's office. "Leader, what shall we do now?" Dong Peng glanced at Cheng Che, "I've checked, Wu Xiao was stabbed to death by his fanatic readers at a book signing three years ago, leaving behind a pair of sons and daughters, one of whom is working as a stuntman in a nearby studio, contact him immediately he." "Yes." Cheng Che responded, and then walked towards the gate. Halfway there, he found that Dong Peng had no intention of moving at all, and was still sitting calmly behind his desk, so he stopped and asked suspiciously, "Leader, are you not leaving?" "When did I say I wanted to go with you?" "Then where are you going?" "Me?" Dong Peng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Of course I come home from get off work, and my wife and children are still waiting for me at home. This kind of overtime work and running errands should be left to energetic young people like you." "Group leader..." "Not yet!" Cheng Che's wailing was drowned in Dong Pengshi's earth-shattering roar.
