Chapter 12 crown expansion
When Chen Ziyu walked into the office, he was taken aback.
Cheng Lin was sitting in his seat, flipping through an outdated magazine absently. In fact, she hadn't read the book at all. After turning two pages, she just stared at the air in a daze.
Looking at her from this angle, her silhouette is particularly delicate and beautiful, because it is against the light, and her slender outline seems to be carefully outlined with a luminous pen.This beauty deeply hurt Chen Ziyu.He immediately recalled that night, the scene where Mr. Zhao put his hand on her shoulder and the two of them walked to the hotel together. Because of the momentary softness and pain, his heart hardened immediately, as if he wanted to make a hard shell for himself. , so that you can protect yourself from getting hurt.
"Why did you just come back! Your wife has been waiting for you for a long time!" The big son just patted Ziyu on the shoulder hard.
Chen Ziyu was crooked and grinned in pain.Cheng Lin raised her head and looked this way.
"Ziyu." She put down the magazine and stood up with a complicated expression.
Because it was in the office, Chen Ziyu walked over calmly: "Why are you here?"
"I..." Cheng Lin obviously didn't want to make a fuss, she lowered her voice: "I want to talk to you..."
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk in another place."
Cheng Lin followed closely behind Chen Ziyu, who was walking in a hurry: "Where have you been these days? You didn't answer my phone calls, and you never went home, nor did you go back to your father..."
Chen Ziyu didn't speak.
Cheng Lin thought that Chen Ziyu was going to take her to a teahouse or somewhere, but the two of them came all the way to the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.Chen Ziyu stood back and turned around, looked at Cheng Lin and said, "Let's go."
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Ziyu.
"But, but, I have something to tell you..."
He interrupted her: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
Cheng Lin looked at him, there was no expression on his face when he said this, you couldn't see his heart through his eyes.
He said quietly: "I want to divorce you."
Cheng Lin's lips trembled: "Ziyu, listen to me, let's find a place, and I'll tell you everything..."
tell me everything?The corner of Chen Ziyu's mouth twitched into a sneer.Time after time, I even know exactly where you eat and dance, what else can you tell?This sneer made his words at this time extremely heartless: "Is there any point in saying this now?"
"I've already broken up with Mr. Zhao, you believe me, we really have nothing..."
Chen Ziyu frowned, and said impatiently: "That's enough, I'm not interested in knowing about you and that man."
"Ziyu, you, listen to my explanation."
She stood right in front of him, begging in a low voice and softly, regardless of her manners, tears washed away her eye makeup, leaving black tears under the corners of her beautiful eyes, which was miserable and pitiful.Chen Ziyu was afraid to look at her, afraid that if he stayed with her for a while, he would give up his dignity, give up his principles, let go of everything, and forgive her if his heart softened.He wouldn't allow that to happen, no.
"Don't come to the unit to look for me again."
He took his arm out of Cheng Lin's hand, turned and left.
He knew that Cheng Lin was looking at him in despair through tearful eyes behind him.How could she believe that the reason why Chen Ziyu left her without looking back was because he found out that he really loved her.The moment Chen Ziyu turned around with his hand, it cut her as sharply as a blade. She thought heartbrokenly, how could this man be so ruthless?And he is so ruthless, why do I still love him so much?
There is still 150,000 in the passbook.One hundred thousand yuan was the inheritance left to Yuan Ye when his parents passed away.Yuan Ye has never had any idea about money. He only now realizes that over the years, his savings are only tens of thousands of dollars, and he doesn't know where his monthly salary is spent.
That night, he rushed to stop Su Qin's recklessness in time. He asked Ding Yi, what can he do to let Su Qin go?Sure enough, Ding Yi offered the price, and the lion opened his mouth, 500,000.
"I beg you, Yuan Ye, you can't give him money." Su Qin pleaded to Yuan Ye, "He's just a dog that can't get enough to eat. No matter how much money you give him, he won't let me go." .”
"Don't worry, if I sell this house, I can get half a million."
"How can you believe his words?!"
"I've seen a lot of these little bastards." Yuan Ye said calmly, "They come out to hang out just to ask for money. With money in their hands, they will risk their lives."
"What if he takes the money and backtracks?"
Yuan Ye smiled: "He doesn't dare. If he really dares to do this, I have plenty of ways to make him unable to eat."
But, what if, what if...you are no longer here?
Su Qin stared into Yuan Ye Mingcheng's eyes, unable to utter these words no matter what.
"When will the money be ready?" Ding Yi called and urged Yuan Ye: "The debtors come to the door every day, and I'm about to be forced to death!"
"You have to give me some time to prepare for such a large sum of money." Yuan Ye said, "It's the end of the year now, and banks are tightening up their stubs and not issuing loans. It's not so easy to find a buyer for the house."
"I don't care! If you promised to give it to me, give it to me quickly! Otherwise, I will disclose all about Su Qin! Let me tell you, I still have the wound on my body, and you two are trying to murder me together! I Tell you to go!"
"Okay, okay, who are you blackmailing?" Yuan Ye interrupted him impatiently: "Well, I have 20,000 in cash on hand, and I will give it to you to pay back your interest first, is that okay?"
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yi couldn't help but beam with joy.
Five hundred thousand, what a windfall.That woman Su Qin really has some ideas, and she seems to be very fascinated by the little policeman.
Yuan Ye kept his word, and sent 20,000 yuan to Ding Yi that afternoon.Ding Yi had to write the receipt himself, and Ding Yi couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw him seriously checking the receipt.Unexpectedly, the policeman seemed shrewd, and it turned out that it was so easy to extract money.The 20,000 yuan was like a pie falling from the sky. It came so easily that he couldn't help itching again.
In order to avoid Zhou Huhu, he specially chose an underground casino in a further suburban county. It looks like a country guest house on the outside, but in fact, there are hidden caves inside. Mahjong, golden flowers, betting, Sangong have everything, and of course there are his favorites. The deflated ten.
Ding Yi swallowed his saliva, and with the money in his arms, he squeezed to the poker table confidently.
Forget about time, forget about hunger and thirst, forget about yourself, forget about everything, only the dexterous and well-trained hands of the dealer, constantly shuffling, dealing and opening cards...
When he was in a state of ecstasy, suddenly there was a loud cry: "Tiaozi is here!"
Like a huge thunder on the flat ground, all the people exploded, the card table was overturned, the poker fell to the ground, some people were stuffing money into their pockets, and some people ran out regardless of anything, the world was in chaos look.Ding Yi's mind hadn't come back from the table, his mind was still in a daze, and he didn't realize what was going on, he was already pressed down on the table by a pair of iron-like hands.
When Su Qin came home from get off work, Yuan Ye was packing his luggage.
When she saw Yuan Ye, her eyes widened: "Where are you going?"
"On business trip."
"Business trip? Where are you going?"
"Keep it secret."
"Nonsense!" Su Qin became angry, and threw the plastic bag full of vegetables on the ground: "How can you go on a business trip with your current physical condition?"
"It's only two or three days to go to the ferry. Chen Ziyu will drive there, so he won't be tired." Seeing that Su Qin was angry, Yuan Ye quickly confessed that he didn't care about keeping it secret: "It's not hard to just go to someone for questioning. Besides, I haven’t been to the transition point for almost ten years, and my classmates from the police academy over there have been urging me to go to Juju, and this time is also an opportunity.” After a pause, Yuan Ye added: “In the future, maybe I will go to Juju. I can't see them anymore."
The last sentence made Su Qin's heart twitch suddenly.
After a while, she said, "Then I'll go with you."
Yuan Ye was taken aback: "How can that be, I'm going to work!"
"When will you resign?"
"Soon, the case will be over soon." Yuan Ye said, "This may be the last thing I want to do in my life, let me let it go, okay?"
Su Qin had nothing to say.
"You don't have to worry about Ding Yi, he won't bother you for a while." Yuan Ye said when he was going out.
"Why?" Su Qin froze again.
"Gathering a crowd to gamble is enough for him to stay in the detention center for ten days."
Yuan Ye smiled slightly.
After he gave Ding Yi money that day, he followed him to the casino, and then called the police anonymously.
He can feel the mentality of this little gangster very clearly.
Yuan Ye sensed the time. For him, time is no longer an invisible and abstract concept, but a real thing, washing his body like running water, and every day when he wakes up, he takes away some of his flesh and blood. torso.Today's self will be a little thinner than yesterday's, and today's self will be a little more emaciated than yesterday. Just a little bit, he was involuntarily pulled to the place of death. He remembered that when he was a child, his childhood seemed so long, he longed to grow up, and hoped that he would wake up overnight and become an adult. The world of adults was so mysterious and attractive to him.Who would have thought that the days would pass faster and faster, and then suddenly one day, he saw that the dark, thin, tired, lifeless man in the mirror was himself, and his eyes inevitably widened in fear. It took longer than expected to come out this time, so we can't procrastinate any longer, Su Qin will definitely be worried at home.Thinking of this, he threw away the hotel razor, grabbed the towel and wiped his face. On the other hand, Ding Yi also spends his days in the detention center like years. Together with all those who were arrested, he interrogated several times in batches.Anyway, he killed himself by saying that he was a foreign businessman, and he was also a victim of being tricked into gambling.The police didn't make things difficult for him, so they locked him up for ten days and fined him 10,000 yuan.In this way, almost all the money Yuan Ye gave him was spent. When he came out of the detention center and returned to his low-rent house, his head suddenly became as big as a bucket. The gate was drenched in red paint, and the walls of the aisle were painted with hideous words "pay the debt" and "repay the debt with your life" everywhere. Because it was red paint, it looked bloody. Tiger Zhou must have done it. For more than ten days, he sent people to collect debts, but he couldn't find anyone, thinking that he had run away. If you still have some money in your hand, you can pay him back some money, maybe you can calm his anger a little, but now you only have a few hundred dollars left in your hand, what should you do?Ding Yi rubbed his neck and thought for a while, and decided to hide in another place for a while, and then urged Yuan Ye, and when he got the 480,000 yuan, he would not be afraid of anything. When he first came to T city, he met a man named Sanyuan in the casino. A lot, and sometimes deliberately lose points, so no one knows that he is cheating.Ding Yi once lost 10,000 yuan in a casino to several Shandong people, and he saw the way. After the Shandong people left, he told Ding Yi privately that those people were scammers, and Ding Yi was cheated. .Ding Yi invited him to dinner, and he demonstrated the thousands of skills of those Shandong people on the spot, and Ding Yi was amazed.In this way, Ding Yi who came and went and got acquainted with him, at this time Ding Yi thought of him.He didn't talk about Zhou Huhu's debt collection, he just said that he had no money to pay the rent, and wanted to borrow from him for a week or so.Sanyuan agreed without saying a word. They met at the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city. Sanyuan took Ding Yi to a back alley. The back alley was littered with garbage by vegetable vendors and flies were everywhere. On the one hand, Ding Yi felt that he had opened a company in Shenzhen and was a man of prestige, but now he has become like this. On the other hand, he was looking forward to Yuan Ye's 500,000 yuan. If he really got it, he could feel proud After a while, he said to Sanyuan: "Brother, thank you this time. I have an account to enter in two days, and the money is really in hand. I will thank you very much." Sanyuan buried his head and walked ahead, wondering if he heard it. Ding Yi followed him down a series of steps, and entered a dilapidated tile house around the corner. "Go into the back room." Sanyuan whispered. As soon as Ding Yi lifted the curtain and entered the room, his feet immediately went limp. There were three people sitting inside, and Zhou Huhu was looking at him coldly on the wooden bed in the middle.The dim light made his face even more unfathomable. Zhou Hu raised his chin and said to Sanyuan, "Keep an eye on the door." Sanyuan quickly backed out. At that moment, Ding Yi clearly heard the sound of iron chains locking the door behind him. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the fish market by the river started to do business again.The bosses and migrant workers who went home for the New Year returned to this stinking place one after another, unloaded tons of frozen hairtail, bamboo fish, and fresh squid from the truck, washed them repeatedly with ice water on the street, and packed them into baskets. Wholesale of baskets to restaurants, restaurants, street vendors.In the early morning, the riverside began to be noisy and lively again. Boss Li of the low-rent housing has been in a bad mood recently. Before the Chinese New Year, when he went to collect the rent of No. 301, he was surprised to find that in the corridors on the third floor, people used red spray paint to write words such as "debt repayment" and "kill your whole family" everywhere.I heard it was done by some vicious hooligans.In broad daylight, when the migrant workers were sleeping, they kicked the door loudly, and went downstairs to watch for a few days, but they did not see the residents of 301, probably running out to hide their debts.Later, that gang of hooligans came and wrote scribbles on the wall and floor before walking away.After hearing this, Boss Li felt sorry for the walls, floors, and doors for a long time.He looked for the tenant of 301 several times, but he couldn't find anyone.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, it is a rule not to force accounts at the end of the year.But now that the year has passed, he has made up his mind today that if he can't find another person, he will forcibly confiscate the house. He had expected that the house would be dirty and messy, so he temporarily called two porters on the side of the street to help him clean it.During the day, the building is quiet, and the farmers are sleeping.After taking the key and opening the door, the air was filled with an indescribable stench. Boss Li's entire face immediately wrinkled. A porter sniffled and said, "It stinks. What's broken?" Another wrinkled his face and said, "Looks like a dead mouse." The three of them stood at the door for a while, and when the smell subsided, Boss Li walked in holding his nose, cursing at his mother. The room was messier than he had imagined.The light in the room was poor, so he turned on the light and looked around. The room looked like a garbage dump, covered with thick dust everywhere, as if no one had lived in it for a long time. A porter said, "Boss, where do we start?" "Throw away all of these..." He pointed everywhere. When he walked to the toilet and pushed the door hard, the door seemed to be blocked by something from the inside and could not be pushed open. "Hey, come here and help someone out." He called a migrant worker over, and the two of them pushed open the door forcefully, and suddenly they stopped moving.Boss Li's lips trembled and his face was pale. At this time, the porter also noticed their strangeness. He came over curiously and stretched his head to have a look. There was a scream like ghost crying and wolf howling in the room: "Wow! There is a person here!!!" After 110, people from the criminal police team arrived quickly. Chen Ziyu worked overtime for four days during the Spring Festival. It was his turn to hear from him today, but he received a notice to cancel the compensatory leave.In a bad mood, he parked the car casually next to the low-rent building, bent over and crossed the yellow police line. "How's the situation?" Putting on his white gloves, he asked Qian Mazi who had arrived at the scene one step earlier than him. Qian Mazi looked like a victim, with a gray face, disheveled hair, and listless spirit.He yawned a lot: "I only know it's a man, about forty years old, and he has been dead for at least twenty days. Even though it is winter, the body is decomposed. Damn, don't report the case sooner or later, Lao Tzu I didn't sleep all night last night, and my phone rang just as I closed my eyes." "Didn't you rest yesterday?" "Hey, my wife's elder brother and sister-in-law are here and played mahjong with them all night." "Lose or win?" "Don't mention it! I thought he was here to deliver food, but he turned out to be a vegetable basket!" Qian Mazi rubbed his face fiercely: "Hey, let me tell you, both of them belong to the tobacco company, and the benefits are not to mention how good they are. , and came here to win money from poor people like me, what is the reason for you? I asked him, do you still need people in your tobacco company, and it would be better for me to work as a security guard there than now! At least you don’t need money for smoking!” They passed through the policemen standing in twos and threes downstairs, greeted acquaintances along the way, and entered the building. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Ziyu immediately smelled a stench.He knew all too well what it smelled like.Although he had already put on a mask at the door, he couldn't help but hold his breath, trying not to remind himself of what he was breathing into his lungs. Several colleagues from the forensic department were carefully collecting evidence. The room was as messy as a doghouse. A junior sister from the forensic department was carefully packing an instant noodle box on the table with an evidence bag, and another colleague was carefully using tweezers to collect evidence. Pick up the hair that falls on the bed sheet. There are also several colleagues who are carefully moving the corpse.The body had begun to swell.The corpses left to the criminal police are almost ugly and terrifying every time. No matter how many times I see this kind of thing, I can't get used to it. Qian Mazi leaned over and looked at it: "What is the cause of death?" "Burning charcoal." Sun Gang, who was taking notes on the side, pouted: "Look, there is a charcoal basin over there. And there is also a folded newspaper stuffed under the toilet door." Chen Ziyu picked up the newspaper in the evidence bag: "Is the newspaper stuffed from the inside?" "I don't know that. The owner and the migrant worker who found the body opened the door. At that time, the body was lying on the ground and pressed against the toilet door. They didn't know it and pushed it open, which actually destroyed the scene." "Why do you burn charcoal in the toilet?" Chen Ziyu looked at the small space filled with the smell of corpses and urine.Although the light is on, the light is still poor, there are broken tiles on the wall, a simple shower head is thrown on the floor, and the place where the water pipe is connected is already rusted, "If you die, you can't choose a better place. " "I'm going to die anyway, what's the difference. Maybe your young master thinks it stinks, but I'm used to living here, so I don't think it's dirty." Sun Gang frowned and looked at a big plastic basin on the ground: "What do you think this basin is for? " Qian Mazi said: "Isn't this for children to take a bath? Why did it appear here? Could it be that there were children in this room before?" "Impossible, according to the owner, he is a single man." Chen Ziyu squatted down and tilted his head to look: "Could it be used for taking a bath? It seems to be a little smaller." Qian Mazi said: "The migrant workers still want to take a bath? That person's hygiene habits are too good." Chen Ziyu smiled: "That is, it must be better than you." Sun Gang said, "That person is not a migrant worker." "what is that?" "According to the owner, he looks like an idiot. But unlike farmers, he behaves and talks like city people." Qian Mazi frowned, and immediately said, "Could it be that he is hiding a fugitive?" Sun Gang said: "Well, it is also possible. Once the identity is verified, we will immediately connect to the national public security system to check whether this person is a criminal who fled to our city." Chen Ziyu said: "I think this possibility is possible, but not high." Qian Mazi asked, "Why?" "Did you see the words on the outside? If he was a fugitive, he would never commit suicide because of borrowing expensive money." Makes sense too.Everyone stopped talking. The two let go of the plastic basin, and Chen Ziyu turned to Sun Gang and asked, "Where is the owner?" "It's already brought back to the bureau, and Xiao Zhao is asking him something. He was so scared that he basically couldn't speak a complete sentence." Qian Mazi curled his mouth, "What's the point of being so scared by a dead man?" Chen Ziyu moved a pile of newspapers, found a medicine bottle, shook it, and there was still half a bottle of medicine in it: "You thought he was you, he is an ordinary person." "What is this saying, we are not ordinary people?" "I don't know about others." Sun Gang couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't look like an ordinary person. If you see a hooligan, you will take three steps back." The whole room laughed. What kind of potion is this?Chen Ziyu frowned, and put it into the evidence bag. The identity of the deceased was quickly established.Because his ID card was found in his pocket.When he rented a house, he also left his real name to the owner. Chief Song asked Sun Gang to take the lead in this matter.So Sun Gang, Chen Ziyu, and Qian Mazi sat together, and what was rare was not fighting the landlord, but a meeting. "The deceased Ding Yi, male, 40 years old, from Zhuhai. We have contacted the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau. Both his parents have passed away, and he has only one elder brother. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau over there have contacted his family members to identify the body. Yes." Qian Mazi said: "The deceased has a record in our bureau, and was arrested for illegal gambling at the end of last year, and was detained for two weeks." "It turned out to be a bad gambler." "The autopsy report of the forensic doctor has also come out." Although everyone had a copy of the materials, Sun Gang, who was in charge of the matter, explained it again. "The deceased was 1.73 meters tall and weighed about 130 kilograms. There were many traumas on his body, but the cause was not fatal. He did die of carbon monoxide poisoning. There was a fracture in his forearm, but it was probably caused after death. The owner pushed him away. When he opened the door, he broke his bones. There was also a scar on his head, but it was many years ago, and it has nothing to do with the cause of death. The time of death should be fifteen to twenty days. Although the internal organs were rotten, there was no sign of rupture. Although the skin has been festered extensively, it was still found that the deceased suffered from a skin disease. Chen Ziyu, the medicine bottle you found, the remaining potion in it should be used to treat his skin disease." "No wonder it's a big bathtub." Chen Ziyu murmured. "Yes, the edge of the plastic basin and the corners of the toilet floor have also extracted the residual ingredients of the potion. It is indeed used to soak in the bath to treat skin diseases. The suspicion of the potion can be ruled out." Sun Gang said: "The deceased should He lived alone, and only his fingerprints were found at the scene. When the two migrant workers came in, they touched the table, the door and the rotten water bottle, so there were fingerprints of the two migrant workers in these two places. Zhao Ming took their statements. " He distributed the copied confessions of the migrant workers to everyone. Qian Mazi asked, "What's with the red paint on the corridor?" This is what Chen Ziyu is responsible for.He replied: "I asked a few nearby residents. People who live in that house sleep during the day and work at night. According to the neighbor of the deceased, he was asleep about 20 days ago one afternoon when he suddenly heard It was very noisy outside. Someone knocked on the door and knocked loudly. It lasted about ten minutes, like demolition of a house. He got annoyed, put on his clothes, opened the door and cursed, and then he could see clearly what was standing in the corridor. He had three blond hairs and was dressed in weird ways. Then the three of them walked towards him together. He was frightened, trembling and apologizing, but the three punks didn't hit him, they just asked him in a rough voice I don't know where the person who lives next door to him has gone, and I also gave him a phone number, telling him to call them when he saw the person, otherwise he will do something to him, and threatened him again anyway. After they left Only then did he realize that the entire corridor was written with the words debt repayment. There was too much movement that day, and the people downstairs heard it, so he can confirm what he said. " "Could it be that the deceased had committed suicide at that time?" Qian Mazi said. "I called that mobile phone number, but I couldn't get through, and it was shut down." Chen Ziyu said: "Then those golden retrievers came to make trouble again, and there was no more. I also asked those migrant workers. Afterwards, did they hear any unusual movements? They all said no. Our police informant named Sanyuan also confirmed this fact. Didn’t Ding Yi have trauma on his body? Zhou Huhu personally wounded him. Even a week or two before Ding Yi's suicide, the time is right." "Hey, bad gambling and loan sharks. If I am him, I have to burn charcoal too. I will die early and be reborn early." Qian Mazi said, looking at the report in his hand. Sun Gang said, "The charcoal burner smells like smoke. Didn't any of them notice it?" "If it's night, the building is basically empty, and everyone has gone to work. If it's daytime, it's hard to say, those migrant workers are basically asleep, they are so tired from working, even if they are themselves The house is on fire and you may not be able to wake up." "What about the stench of the corpse? They didn't smell it either?" Chen Ziyu smiled wryly: "The people who live next to him smell the smell, but they thought it was the smell of dead fish floating over from the aquatic product market. I'm used to the smell when I live there." "Is it possible that Ding Yi was killed because he didn't pay?" "It shouldn't be possible. Pressing debts should be done step by step. First break your fingers, then break your legs. Otherwise, you will lose both people and money." Sun Gang said: "Based on the above circumstances, it can basically be determined that it was debt evasion and suicide. Do you have any objections?" "No." Qian Mazi said with a cigarette in his mouth, "that kid owed a bad debt, was beaten half to death by a usurer, and didn't pay any money, and had nowhere to escape. He ate a box of instant noodles that day, smoked Two cigarettes, sitting in the garbage of the whole house and doubting life for a while, then lit the charcoal, and then used old newspapers to block the cracks in the door, with one eye closed, early death and early rebirth." "That's about it." Sun Gang said. "I don't understand one thing." Chen Ziyu flicked his fingers and reported: "The above said that if he found more than 20 yuan in change in Ding Yi's house, since he was going to die, why didn't he put the change before he died? Running out of money? At least go to eat a good meal, twenty yuan, one can eat pork knuckles. In the end, he ate instant noodles before he died." Both Sun Gang and Qian Mazi paused. Ordinarily, human nature should also be like this, but who knows what the dying person is thinking, maybe at that time he has no intention of eating at all. "Also, whose profit did he borrow from?" Sun Gang also said: "If this point can be implemented, judging from the situation on the spot, there is basically no problem with the analysis of the old money. Do you agree?" Chen Ziyu nodded: "The debts will kill people, no matter who they are, they have to give a serious warning." The person died by suicide and there were no suspicious incidents. After work, Chen Ziyu went to the laundry on the corner of the street to wash clothes. Since the day he filed for divorce, he has moved out of the house.He couldn't rent a suitable house temporarily, so he squeezed into the single dormitory in the bureau, and squeezed together with a group of young policemen who had just graduated.It's like going back to the police academy, sleeping in bunk beds every night, basically no private space, and the whole room smells of cigarettes and farts.Most of the places where single men live are dirty and messy. After all these years of family life, Chen Ziyu couldn't adapt to it for a while.Clothes have to be washed in the laundry, three meals a day are eaten hastily in the cafeteria, and after work, they gather in the dormitory to brag or play poker.It doesn't matter to a young man in his 18s, 90s or 20s, but if he falls into this kind of life again in his thirties, it can't be considered a fall.Chen Ziyu sighed when he thought about it.Sometimes when he lies in bed at night, listening to the room full of male hormones grunting and grinding his teeth, he can't help but miss that tidy and clean home. He didn't know how Cheng Lin arranged it so comfortably and elegantly.Every little gadget is carefully selected by her, and then she finds the most appropriate position to place.I still remember that when buying a telephone, she had to choose the light silver-gray one in the picture, because it matched the white bedside table better.At that time, this color system was out of stock, so Cheng Lin made several trips to order it.At that time, Chen Ziyu was still laughing that she was full of energy, and she replied seriously: "Usually at work, you are busy and I am also busy. When I come home, I want to relax and be comfortable. Think about it, everything in the house is What I like, the feeling of being surrounded by what I like, how happy it is.” Chen Ziyu would also think Cheng Lin like this is very cute.But that's what he didn't understand.This is the home she carefully built, how could she destroy it with her own hands?Surrounded by all her beloved things, why can't the people who live in it feel happy? He watched the laundry tumbling in the huge washing tub, the hollow whine of the washing machine.At this moment, he realized that he was missing her and the home he once had. He tried his best to push away this longing, and tried to think about the suicide incident he discovered today, but it was useless. The blissful tenderness has already eroded into his body unconsciously, and now, he is enduring the dry torture like he is recovering from drugs.
Yuan Ye sensed the time. For him, time is no longer an invisible and abstract concept, but a real thing, washing his body like running water, and every day when he wakes up, he takes away some of his flesh and blood. torso.Today's self will be a little thinner than yesterday's, and today's self will be a little more emaciated than yesterday. Just a little bit, he was involuntarily pulled to the place of death. He remembered that when he was a child, his childhood seemed so long, he longed to grow up, and hoped that he would wake up overnight and become an adult. The world of adults was so mysterious and attractive to him.Who would have thought that the days would pass faster and faster, and then suddenly one day, he saw that the dark, thin, tired, lifeless man in the mirror was himself, and his eyes inevitably widened in fear. It took longer than expected to come out this time, so we can't procrastinate any longer, Su Qin will definitely be worried at home.Thinking of this, he threw away the hotel razor, grabbed the towel and wiped his face. On the other hand, Ding Yi also spends his days in the detention center like years. Together with all those who were arrested, he interrogated several times in batches.Anyway, he killed himself by saying that he was a foreign businessman, and he was also a victim of being tricked into gambling.The police didn't make things difficult for him, so they locked him up for ten days and fined him 10,000 yuan.In this way, almost all the money Yuan Ye gave him was spent. When he came out of the detention center and returned to his low-rent house, his head suddenly became as big as a bucket. The gate was drenched in red paint, and the walls of the aisle were painted with hideous words "pay the debt" and "repay the debt with your life" everywhere. Because it was red paint, it looked bloody. Tiger Zhou must have done it. For more than ten days, he sent people to collect debts, but he couldn't find anyone, thinking that he had run away. If you still have some money in your hand, you can pay him back some money, maybe you can calm his anger a little, but now you only have a few hundred dollars left in your hand, what should you do?Ding Yi rubbed his neck and thought for a while, and decided to hide in another place for a while, and then urged Yuan Ye, and when he got the 480,000 yuan, he would not be afraid of anything. When he first came to T city, he met a man named Sanyuan in the casino. A lot, and sometimes deliberately lose points, so no one knows that he is cheating.Ding Yi once lost 10,000 yuan in a casino to several Shandong people, and he saw the way. After the Shandong people left, he told Ding Yi privately that those people were scammers, and Ding Yi was cheated. .Ding Yi invited him to dinner, and he demonstrated the thousands of skills of those Shandong people on the spot, and Ding Yi was amazed.In this way, Ding Yi who came and went and got acquainted with him, at this time Ding Yi thought of him.He didn't talk about Zhou Huhu's debt collection, he just said that he had no money to pay the rent, and wanted to borrow from him for a week or so.Sanyuan agreed without saying a word. They met at the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city. Sanyuan took Ding Yi to a back alley. The back alley was littered with garbage by vegetable vendors and flies were everywhere. On the one hand, Ding Yi felt that he had opened a company in Shenzhen and was a man of prestige, but now he has become like this. On the other hand, he was looking forward to Yuan Ye's 500,000 yuan. If he really got it, he could feel proud After a while, he said to Sanyuan: "Brother, thank you this time. I have an account to enter in two days, and the money is really in hand. I will thank you very much." Sanyuan buried his head and walked ahead, wondering if he heard it. Ding Yi followed him down a series of steps, and entered a dilapidated tile house around the corner. "Go into the back room." Sanyuan whispered. As soon as Ding Yi lifted the curtain and entered the room, his feet immediately went limp. There were three people sitting inside, and Zhou Huhu was looking at him coldly on the wooden bed in the middle.The dim light made his face even more unfathomable. Zhou Hu raised his chin and said to Sanyuan, "Keep an eye on the door." Sanyuan quickly backed out. At that moment, Ding Yi clearly heard the sound of iron chains locking the door behind him. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the fish market by the river started to do business again.The bosses and migrant workers who went home for the New Year returned to this stinking place one after another, unloaded tons of frozen hairtail, bamboo fish, and fresh squid from the truck, washed them repeatedly with ice water on the street, and packed them into baskets. Wholesale of baskets to restaurants, restaurants, street vendors.In the early morning, the riverside began to be noisy and lively again. Boss Li of the low-rent housing has been in a bad mood recently. Before the Chinese New Year, when he went to collect the rent of No. 301, he was surprised to find that in the corridors on the third floor, people used red spray paint to write words such as "debt repayment" and "kill your whole family" everywhere.I heard it was done by some vicious hooligans.In broad daylight, when the migrant workers were sleeping, they kicked the door loudly, and went downstairs to watch for a few days, but they did not see the residents of 301, probably running out to hide their debts.Later, that gang of hooligans came and wrote scribbles on the wall and floor before walking away.After hearing this, Boss Li felt sorry for the walls, floors, and doors for a long time.He looked for the tenant of 301 several times, but he couldn't find anyone.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, it is a rule not to force accounts at the end of the year.But now that the year has passed, he has made up his mind today that if he can't find another person, he will forcibly confiscate the house. He had expected that the house would be dirty and messy, so he temporarily called two porters on the side of the street to help him clean it.During the day, the building is quiet, and the farmers are sleeping.After taking the key and opening the door, the air was filled with an indescribable stench. Boss Li's entire face immediately wrinkled. A porter sniffled and said, "It stinks. What's broken?" Another wrinkled his face and said, "Looks like a dead mouse." The three of them stood at the door for a while, and when the smell subsided, Boss Li walked in holding his nose, cursing at his mother. The room was messier than he had imagined.The light in the room was poor, so he turned on the light and looked around. The room looked like a garbage dump, covered with thick dust everywhere, as if no one had lived in it for a long time. A porter said, "Boss, where do we start?" "Throw away all of these..." He pointed everywhere. When he walked to the toilet and pushed the door hard, the door seemed to be blocked by something from the inside and could not be pushed open. "Hey, come here and help someone out." He called a migrant worker over, and the two of them pushed open the door forcefully, and suddenly they stopped moving.Boss Li's lips trembled and his face was pale. At this time, the porter also noticed their strangeness. He came over curiously and stretched his head to have a look. There was a scream like ghost crying and wolf howling in the room: "Wow! There is a person here!!!" After 110, people from the criminal police team arrived quickly. Chen Ziyu worked overtime for four days during the Spring Festival. It was his turn to hear from him today, but he received a notice to cancel the compensatory leave.In a bad mood, he parked the car casually next to the low-rent building, bent over and crossed the yellow police line. "How's the situation?" Putting on his white gloves, he asked Qian Mazi who had arrived at the scene one step earlier than him. Qian Mazi looked like a victim, with a gray face, disheveled hair, and listless spirit.He yawned a lot: "I only know it's a man, about forty years old, and he has been dead for at least twenty days. Even though it is winter, the body is decomposed. Damn, don't report the case sooner or later, Lao Tzu I didn't sleep all night last night, and my phone rang just as I closed my eyes." "Didn't you rest yesterday?" "Hey, my wife's elder brother and sister-in-law are here and played mahjong with them all night." "Lose or win?" "Don't mention it! I thought he was here to deliver food, but he turned out to be a vegetable basket!" Qian Mazi rubbed his face fiercely: "Hey, let me tell you, both of them belong to the tobacco company, and the benefits are not to mention how good they are. , and came here to win money from poor people like me, what is the reason for you? I asked him, do you still need people in your tobacco company, and it would be better for me to work as a security guard there than now! At least you don’t need money for smoking!” They passed through the policemen standing in twos and threes downstairs, greeted acquaintances along the way, and entered the building. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Ziyu immediately smelled a stench.He knew all too well what it smelled like.Although he had already put on a mask at the door, he couldn't help but hold his breath, trying not to remind himself of what he was breathing into his lungs. Several colleagues from the forensic department were carefully collecting evidence. The room was as messy as a doghouse. A junior sister from the forensic department was carefully packing an instant noodle box on the table with an evidence bag, and another colleague was carefully using tweezers to collect evidence. Pick up the hair that falls on the bed sheet. There are also several colleagues who are carefully moving the corpse.The body had begun to swell.The corpses left to the criminal police are almost ugly and terrifying every time. No matter how many times I see this kind of thing, I can't get used to it. Qian Mazi leaned over and looked at it: "What is the cause of death?" "Burning charcoal." Sun Gang, who was taking notes on the side, pouted: "Look, there is a charcoal basin over there. And there is also a folded newspaper stuffed under the toilet door." Chen Ziyu picked up the newspaper in the evidence bag: "Is the newspaper stuffed from the inside?" "I don't know that. The owner and the migrant worker who found the body opened the door. At that time, the body was lying on the ground and pressed against the toilet door. They didn't know it and pushed it open, which actually destroyed the scene." "Why do you burn charcoal in the toilet?" Chen Ziyu looked at the small space filled with the smell of corpses and urine.Although the light is on, the light is still poor, there are broken tiles on the wall, a simple shower head is thrown on the floor, and the place where the water pipe is connected is already rusted, "If you die, you can't choose a better place. " "I'm going to die anyway, what's the difference. Maybe your young master thinks it stinks, but I'm used to living here, so I don't think it's dirty." Sun Gang frowned and looked at a big plastic basin on the ground: "What do you think this basin is for? " Qian Mazi said: "Isn't this for children to take a bath? Why did it appear here? Could it be that there were children in this room before?" "Impossible, according to the owner, he is a single man." Chen Ziyu squatted down and tilted his head to look: "Could it be used for taking a bath? It seems to be a little smaller." Qian Mazi said: "The migrant workers still want to take a bath? That person's hygiene habits are too good." Chen Ziyu smiled: "That is, it must be better than you." Sun Gang said, "That person is not a migrant worker." "what is that?" "According to the owner, he looks like an idiot. But unlike farmers, he behaves and talks like city people." Qian Mazi frowned, and immediately said, "Could it be that he is hiding a fugitive?" Sun Gang said: "Well, it is also possible. Once the identity is verified, we will immediately connect to the national public security system to check whether this person is a criminal who fled to our city." Chen Ziyu said: "I think this possibility is possible, but not high." Qian Mazi asked, "Why?" "Did you see the words on the outside? If he was a fugitive, he would never commit suicide because of borrowing expensive money." Makes sense too.Everyone stopped talking. The two let go of the plastic basin, and Chen Ziyu turned to Sun Gang and asked, "Where is the owner?" "It's already brought back to the bureau, and Xiao Zhao is asking him something. He was so scared that he basically couldn't speak a complete sentence." Qian Mazi curled his mouth, "What's the point of being so scared by a dead man?" Chen Ziyu moved a pile of newspapers, found a medicine bottle, shook it, and there was still half a bottle of medicine in it: "You thought he was you, he is an ordinary person." "What is this saying, we are not ordinary people?" "I don't know about others." Sun Gang couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't look like an ordinary person. If you see a hooligan, you will take three steps back." The whole room laughed. What kind of potion is this?Chen Ziyu frowned, and put it into the evidence bag. The identity of the deceased was quickly established.Because his ID card was found in his pocket.When he rented a house, he also left his real name to the owner. Chief Song asked Sun Gang to take the lead in this matter.So Sun Gang, Chen Ziyu, and Qian Mazi sat together, and what was rare was not fighting the landlord, but a meeting. "The deceased Ding Yi, male, 40 years old, from Zhuhai. We have contacted the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau. Both his parents have passed away, and he has only one elder brother. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau over there have contacted his family members to identify the body. Yes." Qian Mazi said: "The deceased has a record in our bureau, and was arrested for illegal gambling at the end of last year, and was detained for two weeks." "It turned out to be a bad gambler." "The autopsy report of the forensic doctor has also come out." Although everyone had a copy of the materials, Sun Gang, who was in charge of the matter, explained it again. "The deceased was 1.73 meters tall and weighed about 130 kilograms. There were many traumas on his body, but the cause was not fatal. He did die of carbon monoxide poisoning. There was a fracture in his forearm, but it was probably caused after death. The owner pushed him away. When he opened the door, he broke his bones. There was also a scar on his head, but it was many years ago, and it has nothing to do with the cause of death. The time of death should be fifteen to twenty days. Although the internal organs were rotten, there was no sign of rupture. Although the skin has been festered extensively, it was still found that the deceased suffered from a skin disease. Chen Ziyu, the medicine bottle you found, the remaining potion in it should be used to treat his skin disease." "No wonder it's a big bathtub." Chen Ziyu murmured. "Yes, the edge of the plastic basin and the corners of the toilet floor have also extracted the residual ingredients of the potion. It is indeed used to soak in the bath to treat skin diseases. The suspicion of the potion can be ruled out." Sun Gang said: "The deceased should He lived alone, and only his fingerprints were found at the scene. When the two migrant workers came in, they touched the table, the door and the rotten water bottle, so there were fingerprints of the two migrant workers in these two places. Zhao Ming took their statements. " He distributed the copied confessions of the migrant workers to everyone. Qian Mazi asked, "What's with the red paint on the corridor?" This is what Chen Ziyu is responsible for.He replied: "I asked a few nearby residents. People who live in that house sleep during the day and work at night. According to the neighbor of the deceased, he was asleep about 20 days ago one afternoon when he suddenly heard It was very noisy outside. Someone knocked on the door and knocked loudly. It lasted about ten minutes, like demolition of a house. He got annoyed, put on his clothes, opened the door and cursed, and then he could see clearly what was standing in the corridor. He had three blond hairs and was dressed in weird ways. Then the three of them walked towards him together. He was frightened, trembling and apologizing, but the three punks didn't hit him, they just asked him in a rough voice I don't know where the person who lives next door to him has gone, and I also gave him a phone number, telling him to call them when he saw the person, otherwise he will do something to him, and threatened him again anyway. After they left Only then did he realize that the entire corridor was written with the words debt repayment. There was too much movement that day, and the people downstairs heard it, so he can confirm what he said. " "Could it be that the deceased had committed suicide at that time?" Qian Mazi said. "I called that mobile phone number, but I couldn't get through, and it was shut down." Chen Ziyu said: "Then those golden retrievers came to make trouble again, and there was no more. I also asked those migrant workers. Afterwards, did they hear any unusual movements? They all said no. Our police informant named Sanyuan also confirmed this fact. Didn’t Ding Yi have trauma on his body? Zhou Huhu personally wounded him. Even a week or two before Ding Yi's suicide, the time is right." "Hey, bad gambling and loan sharks. If I am him, I have to burn charcoal too. I will die early and be reborn early." Qian Mazi said, looking at the report in his hand. Sun Gang said, "The charcoal burner smells like smoke. Didn't any of them notice it?" "If it's night, the building is basically empty, and everyone has gone to work. If it's daytime, it's hard to say, those migrant workers are basically asleep, they are so tired from working, even if they are themselves The house is on fire and you may not be able to wake up." "What about the stench of the corpse? They didn't smell it either?" Chen Ziyu smiled wryly: "The people who live next to him smell the smell, but they thought it was the smell of dead fish floating over from the aquatic product market. I'm used to the smell when I live there." "Is it possible that Ding Yi was killed because he didn't pay?" "It shouldn't be possible. Pressing debts should be done step by step. First break your fingers, then break your legs. Otherwise, you will lose both people and money." Sun Gang said: "Based on the above circumstances, it can basically be determined that it was debt evasion and suicide. Do you have any objections?" "No." Qian Mazi said with a cigarette in his mouth, "that kid owed a bad debt, was beaten half to death by a usurer, and didn't pay any money, and had nowhere to escape. He ate a box of instant noodles that day, smoked Two cigarettes, sitting in the garbage of the whole house and doubting life for a while, then lit the charcoal, and then used old newspapers to block the cracks in the door, with one eye closed, early death and early rebirth." "That's about it." Sun Gang said. "I don't understand one thing." Chen Ziyu flicked his fingers and reported: "The above said that if he found more than 20 yuan in change in Ding Yi's house, since he was going to die, why didn't he put the change before he died? Running out of money? At least go to eat a good meal, twenty yuan, one can eat pork knuckles. In the end, he ate instant noodles before he died." Both Sun Gang and Qian Mazi paused. Ordinarily, human nature should also be like this, but who knows what the dying person is thinking, maybe at that time he has no intention of eating at all. "Also, whose profit did he borrow from?" Sun Gang also said: "If this point can be implemented, judging from the situation on the spot, there is basically no problem with the analysis of the old money. Do you agree?" Chen Ziyu nodded: "The debts will kill people, no matter who they are, they have to give a serious warning." The person died by suicide and there were no suspicious incidents. After work, Chen Ziyu went to the laundry on the corner of the street to wash clothes. Since the day he filed for divorce, he has moved out of the house.He couldn't rent a suitable house temporarily, so he squeezed into the single dormitory in the bureau, and squeezed together with a group of young policemen who had just graduated.It's like going back to the police academy, sleeping in bunk beds every night, basically no private space, and the whole room smells of cigarettes and farts.Most of the places where single men live are dirty and messy. After all these years of family life, Chen Ziyu couldn't adapt to it for a while.Clothes have to be washed in the laundry, three meals a day are eaten hastily in the cafeteria, and after work, they gather in the dormitory to brag or play poker.It doesn't matter to a young man in his 18s, 90s or 20s, but if he falls into this kind of life again in his thirties, it can't be considered a fall.Chen Ziyu sighed when he thought about it.Sometimes when he lies in bed at night, listening to the room full of male hormones grunting and grinding his teeth, he can't help but miss that tidy and clean home. He didn't know how Cheng Lin arranged it so comfortably and elegantly.Every little gadget is carefully selected by her, and then she finds the most appropriate position to place.I still remember that when buying a telephone, she had to choose the light silver-gray one in the picture, because it matched the white bedside table better.At that time, this color system was out of stock, so Cheng Lin made several trips to order it.At that time, Chen Ziyu was still laughing that she was full of energy, and she replied seriously: "Usually at work, you are busy and I am also busy. When I come home, I want to relax and be comfortable. Think about it, everything in the house is What I like, the feeling of being surrounded by what I like, how happy it is.” Chen Ziyu would also think Cheng Lin like this is very cute.But that's what he didn't understand.This is the home she carefully built, how could she destroy it with her own hands?Surrounded by all her beloved things, why can't the people who live in it feel happy? He watched the laundry tumbling in the huge washing tub, the hollow whine of the washing machine.At this moment, he realized that he was missing her and the home he once had. He tried his best to push away this longing, and tried to think about the suicide incident he discovered today, but it was useless. The blissful tenderness has already eroded into his body unconsciously, and now, he is enduring the dry torture like he is recovering from drugs.
