Chapter 21 Passing under Guan Gong’s robe

Chapter 21 Passing under Guan Gong’s robe

Xu Yiqing was certain that his brother must be dead.

If he could not confirm the identity of the corpse under his scalpel, then Xu Yiqing would have wasted his years as a forensic doctor.

Not to mention he is one of the best forensic doctors.

But he would never think that this was just a coincidence. The person who was exactly the same as his brother in both body and dress must have the truth hidden in him!

Therefore, Du Yu became more certain of the serial crimes after that, and combined the Li Yueyue case with the 10.25 major mutilation case.

However, the clues finally ended here. The ghosts who assisted the murderers in the two cases disappeared into the sea of ​​people just like the images on the surveillance cameras.

For a long time since then, no clues about the other party have been found.

After a meeting and discussion, the Jiangcheng City Criminal Police Brigade’s Crime Team decided to list this suspect who had been involved in another murder case for several years as a key target for arrest.

Code name [Accomplice]!

The superiors decided to set up a task force to arrest [accomplices], and dispatched experts from other places to assist, with Du Yu leading the team.

Xu Yiqing is naturally also a member of the task force.

He firmly believes that as long as he catches the "accomplice", he can reveal the truth about the 10.25 major corpse dismemberment case and his brother.

The dawn of overturning the verdict seems to be just around the corner...

——

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the first snow has not yet fallen in Jiangcheng.

People say that the snow has been falling later and later in the past few years. In the early years, there might have been some elderly people who lamented that the grain would not grow well in the coming years due to the late snow, and said something about the low price of grain hurting farmers.

It is rarely heard now.

There were no tall buildings or cars dug out of the ground, so farming was relegated to a corner in Jiangcheng.

As the saying goes, Laba is the New Year. This day is the last temple fair of the year in Jiangcheng, and it will also be the grandest temple fair.

The tradition in this city is that the temple fair at the end of the year is larger and more grand than the temple fair at the beginning of the year, which means that you will make more money this year and you will not waste it.

Therefore, even if the big bosses who hold temple fairs have been talking about the bad market and economic downturn all year long, they will still tug at their belts and spend money without any carelessness.

As usual, there is a parade at the temple fair.

From the east to the west of the city, from early morning to noon, a huge number of teams gathered together. What started as a grass-roots team gradually developed into a massive city-wide carnival.

Parading the streets to invite gods, lion and dragon dances, hundreds of people singing and dancing, attracting more people to join.

Among the parade, there was a tall and mighty figure who stood out the most - Zui Guan Gong.

The actor gets up before dawn, takes a bath and burns incense, cleans his clothes and tidy up his hair, has breakfast with his family, and explains everything. After putting makeup on his face, he stopped talking. He wore a theatrical robe, walked on two-meter stilts, and wielded a nine-pound sword.

I drank a pound of white wine before parading on the street, and walked shaky but steady, overlooking the world.

Crowds surrounded the parade, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums continued, and the cold air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Those who do good things shout.

"Pass it, pass it!"

"The God of Wealth has arrived, and people from all over the world come to worship!"

"Farewell to the old and welcome the new, worship God and offer incense!"

Soon the parade came to the vicinity of Jiangcheng City People's Hospital.

The entire Jiangcheng is run through by an east-west avenue, and the parade has a fixed route that follows this street to the end. The People's Hospital is near East-West Avenue and connected by a T-intersection.

Outside of the lively atmosphere, everyone suddenly noticed a woman kneeling at the door of the hospital, only a few dozen meters away from the parade. It is incompatible with the festive atmosphere and is naturally very conspicuous.

She just knelt there, kowtowing to Guan Gong, who was arrogant among all the heroes... Everyone knew what she was begging for.

It's hard to be an atheist after a long illness.

Although people didn't know what she was carrying or what she was going through, they knew that this woman was at the end of her rope.

After just a moment's hesitation, Drunken Guan Gong deviated from the route planned by his ancestors and walked toward the woman.

No one will blame him for breaking the rules, because he is the real Guan Gong now.

Zui Guan Gong's face showed compassion and emotion, then he stepped over the woman with a shaky figure, and gestured with the Guan Dao on her head, as if he wanted to cut something off. .

Women no longer kowtow, but prostrate themselves on the ground with utmost piety.

Passing under the robe of Guan Gong, it is difficult to pass the pass.

At this moment, it suddenly started snowing in the sky.

Pieces of tiny snowflakes fall from the sky, trying to whiten the world and cover up the original filth.

People marveled that it was Guan Gong who appeared and said some auspicious words such as auspicious snow heralding a good harvest.

Soon, the mighty team returned to their journey and continued to parade along the route planned by their ancestors.

Then no one paid attention to the woman who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, letting the snowflakes fall on her head.

After the crowd had dispersed, she staggered to her feet, her knees hurting and her legs numb. The thin clothes made her cheeks blush from the cold, but the expression on her face was extremely numb.

It was the numbness of losing hope.

Her consciousness was very clear, and she knew that this kneeling could not change anything, and she only wanted to give herself some psychological comfort. Then after this psychological comfort passes, the reality is endless despair.

It was as cold as the tide, soaking my whole body, and it was particularly biting in this auspicious snow.

Suddenly the cell phone rang, interrupting everything.

She was a little confused, she couldn't imagine who would call her in such a bad situation.

I took out my phone and saw a very suspicious number.

This is a foreign number that even the technical police of the Jiangcheng City Crime Squad cannot find.

A voice that had been processed and could not distinguish between male, female, old or young came from the phone: "I can help you."

——

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a very famous farm restaurant in Jiangcheng. Du Yu invited Xu Yiqing and Lin Sheng to dinner, saying that he had something important to say.

The two people from the forensic team arrived first and came together.

Xu Yiqing didn't buy a car and didn't like driving, so Lin Sheng served as a part-time driver most of the time to take him around.

Fortunately, Xu Yiqing rarely goes out except for official business. If there is nothing necessary, he can lock himself in the house for a few days and nights.

When he was young, some friends teased Xu Yiqing, saying that he was not suitable to be a forensic doctor, but that he was more suitable to guard a lighthouse on an island or to be a firekeeper in the mountains.

Li Dusheng said that Xu Yiqing was a pure person, and everyone who knew him felt the same way, especially those who had been to his home.

His home is very clean, and the decoration is so simple that it can be said to be simple, with nothing except the necessities of life.

The bedroom only has a bed and a table, and there is no wardrobe. There are only a few coats for all seasons, which are hung on the coat rack in the living room or stored under the bed.

It is hard to imagine that a person's material needs can be so low, which makes people wonder how high his spiritual pursuit has reached.

While waiting for Du Yu, Lin Sheng looked at the snowy scene outside the window and said, "We were still talking about it a year ago, and we made history when it didn't snow last year. But as soon as the first month passed, it rained so hard again."

Xu Yiqing said: "Actually, it snowed a little on the day of the temple fair parade years ago, but it was only for a short time and it cleared up in the next few days, so no one remembered it."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Lin Sheng was surprised: "Brother Xu, you actually went to the temple fair? I thought you wouldn't be interested."

Xu Yiqing said: "I didn't go. When we were passing by in the parade, I stood by the window and watched. Guan Gong was very impressive and the parade was very lively. This should be the most lively one in the past few years."

I don’t know since when, the Chinese New Year has become less and less festive.

It seems like everything has become boring.

So the Jiangcheng City government decided to lift the restrictions on setting off fireworks and firecrackers this year. Smoke, dust and shreds of paper appeared in Jiangcheng again, making many people happy.

The serial sanitation workers are happy because of the extra fifty yuan a day subsidy.

Lin Sheng yawned. He was a little sleepy due to lack of sleep, and the heating in the room was very comfortable.

Du Yu was a few minutes late and was in a hurry when he arrived.

"Sorry, there's a bit of traffic on the road...I'll punish myself with three drinks in a while!"

Lin Sheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Captain Du, we don't pay attention to these things. We acquaintances don't have the bad habit of drinking at the table."

Xu Yiqing smiled and said: "He just loves to drink and is just making excuses for himself."

Du Yu laughed loudly: "Lao Xu still understands me!"

Calling the waiter to order, Xu Yiqing didn't have much appetite, and Lin Sheng was out of politeness, so after questioning, Du Yu finally made the decision on his own.

After ordering, he mysteriously said to the two of them: "Actually, there will be another person coming in a while, and we will be colleagues from now on."

Lin Sheng was stunned: "Forensic doctor?"

Du Yu waved his hand: "Of course not. If it were a forensic doctor, would I know it earlier than you two?"

Xu Yiqing said: "That's the person from the serious crime team."

Unexpectedly, Du Yu still shook his head: "It doesn't count. Anyway, I can't control her in normal cases... She is a colleague of the [accomplice] task force."

After a pause, he took out a document in a brown paper bag from his wallet, "This is what she wrote."

Xu Yiqing took the brown paper bag, bypassed the thin string, and took out the document from inside.

Lin Sheng also leaned over and read the words: "Psychological profile of [accomplice]?"

The two of them browsed through it, and the more they looked at it, the more Lin Sheng was amazed.

After reading it, he couldn't help but say: "This... this is just like my psychological activities when describing the crime! I can't help but think that this is true!"
< br>

Du Yu said: "Based on the professional level of the other party, these eight achievements are true. This is what the [accomplice] thought at the time."

Lin Sheng smiled and said: "With colleagues like this, it will be much easier to solve cases in the future... I'm going to use the toilet."

Lin Sheng stood up and left, but he didn't notice that Xu Yiqing had been silent since just now.

Du Yu knew what he had seen and touched his chin: "Comment on it."

Xu Yiqing closed the document and put it back in the bag: "It's very professional, so professional that it makes me feel familiar."

Du Yu sighed softly: "I really can't hide it from you."

Before Xu Yiqing could say anything, a lazy woman's voice came: "I'm sorry for being late. I didn't want to get up in the winter, so I slept a little longer."

Then a tall woman in a windbreaker walked to the table and sat directly opposite Xu Yiqing.

She is covered in jewels, her permed hair is like a waterfall, she takes off her sunglasses to reveal her smart eyes, and her beautiful face will make people guess that she is that star.

The woman's unabashed elegance is a perfect replica of Xu Yiqing's simple temperament sitting opposite her.

Not only in terms of temperament, but also in character. One woman and Xu Yiqing are lazy and casual, while the other is serious and rigid.

The same thing is that there is absolute confidence in oneself in the eyes, which is the confidence that can only be gained by being mentally strong and reaching the top in a certain field.

The woman looked at Xu Yiqing and smiled: "You don't seem to be surprised to see me at all."

Xu Yiqing picked up the brown paper bag: "I have read the report you wrote. Only the best criminal psychology experts can write such a test. I only know one, and there is only one in the country."

The woman shrugged: "It's not really a report, it's just an essay. It's not written for anyone to read."

Xu Yiqing praised: “But the format is formal and the wording is accurate, it’s perfect.”

The woman felt a little bored by his answer, so she wanted to have some fun, so she joked: "Xu Yiqing, I have been divorced for ten years, and you really haven't changed at all."

Xu Yiqing replied: "The same goes for you, Zhou Shi."
