Controlled experiment

Chapter 8

Zhuang Hao died.

When he got the news, Du Yusheng was sitting in his office making that cup of damp tea.

Qin Yan sat opposite him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Du Yusheng's desk was already messy, and it looked like a paper factory from a distance. He didn't know where he got the interest to disassemble the printer on the desk and play with it for half an hour, and the toner cartridge was put aside far away.Du Yusheng poured a glass of water with his ink-stained hand.

Qin Yan frowned, seeing five black fingerprints on the cup.

"You are sick." Qin Yan said: "Wipe the cup yourself in the future."

Only then did Du Yusheng come to his senses, and after realizing it, he took a paper towel and wiped his hands.

After wiping halfway, he raised his head to look at Qin Yan, and showed him the tissue in his hand.

"Do you still remember those toners on Daheng Luo's thumb before he died?"

Qin Yan nodded, not understanding what Du Yusheng meant, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Du Yusheng turned on the faucet and pointed it at his hand.

"...I'll talk about this later, I have to rely on you for something,"

Xiaobai ran in from the outside of the stall, and forcibly choked back the 'what' that came out of Qin Yan's mouth.

He ran in a hurry, his face was covered with sweat.

After staying up all night for the past few days, Xiaobai's dark circles almost reached his chin.Du Yusheng is too selfish, and sometimes he doesn't consider other people's feelings when he speaks and does things.As long as he is asleep it is night, and when he is awake it must be day.Not only did Xiaobai not sleep well in the past few days, but sometimes he woke up at night with his mobile phone in his hand.

"Brother Yu, there is a report from the urban-rural fringe area."

Du Yusheng blinked and looked at him, and said, "And then?"

"Murder and burn corpses."

"who?"

Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his head and continued: "Someone has already gone to the scene first. They said that it was burned in such a mess that nothing can be seen. It can only be identified from the clothes and accessories on the body. It should be a mobile phone repair shop over there. , that is, the homeowner at the scene of the crime, Zhuang Hao."

Du Yusheng glanced at Qin Yan, then at Xiaobai.

"What did you say his name was?"

Xiaobai froze for a moment, then repeated: "It's called Zhuang Hao."

Du Yusheng scratched his neck with one hand, and put the other hand on the desk. Qin Yan watched, his thumbs were turning white.

Qin Yan has known Du Yusheng for a few years. Du Yusheng has a characteristic. He rarely tells you what he thinks in his heart, and most of what he shows is what he wants you to see.Seeing him idling and not doing his job, not paying attention to the case, usually he is very concerned about his broken car that can no longer be repaired. You saw him staying up late to read some car repairs, more than 1000 pages, but you didn’t see him reading it in the middle of the night They are all dossiers.Often he draws a line in his mind, and he will tell you after he has figured it out.

So when Du Yusheng showed that he cared about one thing in front of others, Qin Yan felt that this matter must be unusual.

Just like Zhuang Hao's death.

"Brother Yu?"

Xiaobai called again.

Du Yusheng came back to his senses and nodded, "Then let's go and see the scene."

Grabbing a crumpled coat from the chair and putting it on, Qin Yan stood up immediately, and Du Yusheng turned around to stop him.

"Qin Yan, don't go, I have something to do, I will send it to you on WeChat later."

Qin Yan hesitated a little, looked at Du Yusheng's smiling face, and agreed.

Du Yusheng wore a dark coat today, with light gray knitting inside, and a pair of sneakers underneath. His hair was just washed in the bureau in the morning, and it was a little messy hanging on his head. He had just been taken care of by Du Yusheng , now bangs are pushed back, and there is a valuable watch on his wrist, Qin Yan looked at Du Yusheng's back and smiled.

He is really suitable to be a son of a rich second generation.

Compared with Du Yusheng's rhetoric, Qin Yan felt that he didn't want him to go to the scene. As for the reason, he didn't want to know.

==============

Xiaobai was a little anxious, ran to drive, opened the car door and was about to sit in it, when he looked back and saw that Du Yusheng was still standing there.

"Brother Yu? Aren't you leaving?"

Du Yusheng shook his head.

"Go in my car."

"..." Xiaobai didn't realize it, he stood at the door of the car and said, "Huh?"

Du Yusheng frowned and said, "Let's save the bureau some gas money."

Xiaobai nodded hesitantly, and walked towards Du Yusheng's Bentley. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at him.Xiaobai felt that Du Yusheng was a little abnormal today.

After getting in the car, Xiaobai looked at Du Yusheng's face and asked boldly, "Brother Yu, do you know that Zhuang Hao?"

Du Yusheng took the player in his mobile phone and played a song in the car.

"It's hard to say we know each other well."

Du Yusheng watched the playlist on the phone switch one after another, and he switched to the next one before he had heard all of one.

"Zhuang Hao is a well-known black-market businessman who plays with electronics. He knows everything from monitors and bugs to electronic bombs. As long as you have money, he can buy anything from him. Even if you can't buy it, he can buy it." I'll make it for you." Finally flipping through the pages of satisfaction, Du Yusheng put the phone aside, leaned on the chair and looked out the window, and said: "He has a craft, and in that circle, he hides a lot of other people's secrets in his hands. Also because of this, even if he has many enemies, no one dares to do anything to him."

It was a red light, and Xiaobai blinked at Du Yusheng.

"……so what?"

Du Yusheng glanced at Xiaobai and suddenly wanted to smoke.

He also wanted to tell Xiaobai that his secret was also in the hands of that person.

There is a place where the most valuable thing is not money or status. Whether you are poor or rich, in that place you don't know anyone, but you know everyone.It's more like a casino, the bet is not money, but your life.

When fate is in someone else's hands and you become that person's pawn, you have no choice at all.

Du Yusheng touched his nose a little annoyed, and turned off the mobile phone player.

There was a traffic jam in the urban-rural fringe area, and when the two hurried over, the surrounding crowd was already surrounded by onlookers, who were stopped by the cordon and drew a neat circle.

It was a bit late when Du Yusheng left. Xiaobai entered the scene of the crime after getting dressed. Du Yusheng was not in a hurry, he stood outside and looked back and forth at the street.

There is no surveillance, no residential buildings, and the street lights are dim.

Qin Yan was left by Du Yusheng in the bureau to do other things, and it was a girl from their group who was fair-looking.

"The body was burnt too badly, and nothing of value could be discerned at all." The girl took off her mask, revealing a young face. Zhuang Hao."

Du Yusheng nodded.

Went in and had a look.

As described by the forensic doctor, if it could still be called a human being, it was a dark mass, right next to the bench.Du Yusheng took a few steps forward and looked at the undamaged table where Zhuang Hao worked before his death.The table had been remodeled, and there was a hidden compartment underneath. Du Yusheng pulled away the things underneath, and it was as empty as he thought.

"The tables, chairs, sofas, and even the trash can on the ground are all intact, only the corpse was burned like this." Xiaobai looked at Zhuang Hao's corpse, "He was brought in after being burned."

Du Yusheng nodded, his mind didn't seem to be on the corpse.

Under Zhuang Hao's workbench is a tiptoe mat, on which Zhuang Hao has stepped on two deep footprints.

Du Yusheng wore gloves and lifted the floor mat to reveal the floor below.

Although this room is for mobile phone repair, the decoration in the room is more like a home style. The furniture is not very particular, the sanitary environment is also poor, and the area is not big, but the floor looks expensive, and there is no footprint on it. Stay, almost spotless.

Du Yusheng sat on the floor and took out the tools in his pocket to pry open the floor under the mat.

Below is an empty hidden grid.

Xiaobai was a little stunned watching Du Yusheng's skillful movements, Du Yusheng shook the dust off his body and stood up from the ground.

"...Brother Yu. Have you been here before?"

Du Yusheng looked at Xiaobai, there was no emotion on his face.

"Blind guess."

Xiaobai clicked his tongue, amazed that Du Yusheng told such a low-level lie.

"...What was under here before?"

tickets.Du Yusheng really wanted to tell Xiaobai this.

"I don't know what it is, you have to ask the deceased." Du Yusheng turned his head and said a few words to the colleague next to him.

Du Yusheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a look. There was no response from Qin Yan, so he probably created a problem for Qin Yan.

Turning back to Xiaobai said, "Call the other teams over."

Xiaobai was stunned, "What do you mean? We don't care?"

Du Yusheng scratched his nose, revealing his previous foolishness.

He said with a smile, "The power disputes and the struggles in the rivers and lakes are not under our control. We should find someone else." Xiaobai wanted to say something else, but Du Yusheng immediately interrupted, "You still think you don't have much work, do you?"

If Zhuang Hao’s matter was within the scope of other teams’ work, then you shouldn’t have come here in the first place. Just call and let other teams enter the scene. Xiaobai couldn’t figure it out. Solving the case is more like looking for something.

In other words, he was afraid that others would find something before him.

"This kind of case is easy to solve." Du Yusheng took out his mobile phone cunningly and laughed, "The enemy will always check one by one and find the right one."

There was also an episode when he appeared on the scene.

Next to Zhuang Hao's mobile phone repair shop is a snack bar, with a poor environment and a small storefront.

After dismissing the crowd of onlookers, Du Yusheng passed by the storefront, and when he looked up, he saw Li Yao walking out in a white coat.

Although Li Yao was wearing a mask, Du Yusheng recognized him immediately by looking at those beautiful eyes.

No matter the doctor or the nurse, their clothes are all white, and they look similar from a distance, but Du Yusheng still thinks that the one on Li Yao looks better than theirs, otherwise why so many people would have seen him at a glance.

"What's the situation?" Du Yusheng asked Xiaobai, "Why is there still a doctor?"

"Oh, Zhuang Hao was discovered by the shopkeeper next door." Xiaobai explained, "It's an older sister who had a heart attack after being frightened. The ambulance arrived before we came, and it took a long time to rescue her."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, Du Yusheng noticed a white ambulance parked not far from the police car with flashing lights on it.

Probably after the rescue, Du Yusheng watched Li Yao take off his white mask and let out a deep breath.

He was talking to the medical staff around him, and his face was full of seriousness at work. Du Yusheng walked over to say hello and smiled.

"Yo, Doctor Li."

Li Yao is now wearing a pair of glasses. He looks not only gentle, but also gentle, like a scholar who studies academics.He obviously did not expect to meet Du Yusheng, and there was a moment of astonishment in his eyes.Looking sideways at the police car next to him, Li Yao understood.

"The eldest sister just said that she was frightened by the murder." Li Yao smiled politely, "So you led the team."

Du Yusheng nodded.

It looked like the elder sister was fine, she was sitting indoors patting her chest to calm herself down, while the nurse next to her was still measuring her blood pressure.

"Doctor Li's Central Hospital is an hour away from here..."

Li Yao sighed.

"I know what you're thinking." He adjusted his glasses and said, "I happened to be training them in the emergency department of the nearby hospital. When the call came, I followed. I don't know when the call will come in. Second, I don’t know that a homicide will happen here, Deputy Du, why do you still think about me?”

If someone else said this sentence, it might sound like annoyed, but when it came out of Li Yao's mouth, it was more like chatting with you, rather than complaining and angry.

Du Yusheng looked at Li Yao's face, and suddenly wondered what this person would be like if he was angry.Do you also use this expression to tell you 'I'm angry'

"I didn't mean that. It's also a professional habit." Du Yusheng scratched his face and said with a smile, "I'm just curious. Why is Dr. Li nearby when something happened recently?"

Li Yao took off his glasses and put them in the chest pocket of his white coat.

He showed a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"You shouldn't ask me that." Li Yao said, "You should ask the murderer."

You should ask the murderer.

Du Yusheng didn't know what these six words meant until the end.
