Nanjiang District, Shanjiang City, Criminal Investigation Detachment, Fifth Floor, Monitoring Room.

Qi Yi watched the surveillance video seven times, and the more he watched, the more confused he became. Even he felt that the person in the video walking swiftly carrying the body bag was himself, but he had just arrived at the hot pot restaurant at 6:37 pm, how could he steal the body?

?

Lao Chi walked towards him: "On April 5th, a particularly vicious murder occurred in the Chengnan Community. The murderer killed the victim Gao Huicheng and then dismembered him into more than 400 pieces. He threw them in the green belts and trash cans of the community.

You found key evidence from the body parts, identified the criminal suspect, and brought him to justice. After arriving at the case, he did not last long and admitted that he had killed Gao Huicheng.

This is an investigation case worthy of being written into a textbook. You were the biggest contributor to the case, but an accident happened and the body was lost."

Qi Yi didn't answer and looked at Lao Chi quietly, listening to what he wanted to say.

Lao Chi moved his eyes away and looked at the surveillance screen: "Actually, I have never doubted you. You have no motive for committing the crime and you have an alibi."

Qi Yi's nest is on fire: "Then what did you mean before?"

Lao Chi: "I just want to show it to some people. I am asked to investigate the corpse theft case thoroughly. If I don't show a business-like attitude, they may let others intervene in the case. Then things will be more difficult to handle."

Speaking of certain people, Qi Yi understood it deeply and knew that it was not easy for Lao Chi to take care of these details when something like this happened.

But the question is: "Will they believe it?"

Lao Chi said: "Whether you believe it or not is their problem. I have to show it to them. If I bring you over directly to watch the surveillance, it will be easy to leave something to talk about."

Qi Yi stopped being sullen and understood Lao Chi. The two had been partners for so many years, and he believed that Lao Chi would not target him for no reason.

Although Qi Yi felt that Lao Chi was overthinking, his superiors knew that Lao Chi had a good relationship with him and yet asked Lao Chi to be responsible for the investigation, so they had the intention of protecting him.

Lao Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere between the two people disappeared. He began to look at Qi Yi unscrupulously, and then watched the screenshots of the video on the big screen.

"It's so damn similar, exactly the same... I remember you are an only child? Do you have any cousins ​​who look very similar to you?"

"No." Qi Yi said: "There are obvious differences between the cousins. And they all develop in the southeast area. They are far away from here, more than a thousand kilometers, and they cannot be here."

"Could it be that this is your long-lost brother?" Lao Chi's words were purely a complaint.

He took out his notebook and took a few glances at it, sizing up Qi Yi's reaction, and then said: "In addition to surveillance, there were also witnesses, all brothers from the detachment. They saw 'you' carrying the body out and asked him what he was doing. He also

I moved it out and said that I asked him to transfer the body to the headquarters."

"Normal." Qi Yi said: "It is impossible for him to avoid surveillance and the police on duty and quietly steal the body. So he wants to achieve his goal, pretending to be a policeman is indeed a way, and being discovered will not affect his actions.

Just make up a reason to excuse it.

The key is that he actually disguised himself so much that even the brothers who bumped into him didn't realize that he was a fake. How did he do it?"

Lao Chi poured cold water on him again: "It's not just like that, the trace inspector did a preliminary inspection of the scene. There are your fingerprints on the corpse cabinet, and the footprints at the scene also match your gait characteristics."

Qi Yi was finally overwhelmed by the series of evidence and was speechless. After a long while, he pulled out a chair, sat down slowly, lowered his head and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any other evidence pointing to me?

"

Lao Chi said: "It's gone. But there are so many evidences from surveillance video, witnesses, fingerprints and footprints pointing to you. Even if you have an alibi, it's still quite detrimental to you."

"Is it possible that stealing the body is just a facade, and the perpetrator's fundamental purpose is to frame me?"

"Of course, my first reaction was to frame him. If you think about it carefully, have you offended anyone recently?"

"There are too many. How can you not offend someone as a police officer? At least the suspect will be offended to death.

"That's the truth... But the scope of investigation is too large. Over the years you have been a forensic doctor, you have handled hundreds of murder cases and injury cases, right?"

Qi Yi didn't answer. He just raised his hand and pressed the keyboard a few times to play the surveillance video several times.

Seeing how serious he was looking, Lao Chi subconsciously held his breath until he paused again and then asked: "What did you see?"

"I feel like something is not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Qi Yi stepped back for about ten seconds and adjusted a few frames back and forth.

On the screen, the perpetrator was carrying the body with one hand and taking off his mask with the other, while looking toward the camera.

Lao Chi asked tentatively: "You want to say that this guy framed you too deliberately, as if... he was afraid that we wouldn't recognize you."

"It's not such a simple thing." Qi Yi denied and continued to play the video back and forth for a few seconds. He always felt that some key information was missing and he couldn't grasp the key points.

He finally gave up and looked away from the video to look at Lao Chi: "About how much time do I have?"

After a pause for two seconds, Lao Chi said honestly: "It may only be one night. The corpse theft case has already caused a certain impact, and the superiors will react quickly, and we will have to take coercive measures against you."

"I understand." Qi Yi was confused.

"You go, I'll be alone for a while to think about my thoughts."

Lao Chi decisively refused: "That won't work. I won't be able to explain to you if I leave you alone in the monitoring room."

"Then I'll go." Qi Yi turned around.

Lao Chi quickly stopped him: "Hey! Wait! You..."

"Go to the bathroom and be right back."

Without looking back, Qi Yi quickly walked to the bathroom sink and splashed water on his face.

The cold water stimulated his nerve endings and made him wake up slightly, but the soreness and stiffness in his body did not ease.

After flushing for a long time, he wiped his face vigorously, raised his hand to support the wall, and looked at the handsome guy with sunken eyes and unshaven beard in the mirror. His short bangs were mushy and lumpy, and there were a few large water drops on his chin.

Just refused to fall.

He stared at himself in a trance, and then sighed leisurely after a long time.

Qi Yiyuan was not as calm as he showed on his face. The exhaustion of working overtime for a long time, coupled with the grievance of being framed, combined into a feeling of depression in his chest, which made him want to punch the mirror in front of him.

Over the course of a meal, he was reduced from a great hero in solving the case to a "suspect" in the crime. Even though he knew that someone was framing him, Lao Chi made it clear that he believed in him, but in the face of so much direct and irrefutable evidence, he was still suffocated.

Da, da, dong, da...

At this time, the bathroom was extremely quiet, and the sound of dripping water gradually became clearer, hitting Qi Yi's heart one by one.

Qi Yi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and tightened the faucet smoothly, but the faucet seemed to be broken, and water droplets still gathered and fell, and there seemed to be a strange sound.

Da, dong, da, da...

There was indeed a strange noise, very light, every few seconds, coming from the window, as if someone was knocking on the window outside.

Hmm? Knock on the window?
