I don't know how long it took, Jiang He woke up from his sleep, the morning sunlight came in through the light blue curtains, and softly shone on Jiang He's face, Jiang He stretched out his hand, as if thinking Hold the sun in your hand. After a while, Jiang He realized that he looked at his watch, it was already 7:30 in the morning.

Jiang He had never slept so deeply, without dreams or memories. He slept until dawn. For Jiang He, this was the most comfortable sleep he had ever slept in over the years. Jiang He also didn't know why he listened to veteran Shao so many abstract questions about justice and life.

If it was Jiang He before, he must think that philosophy is the most useless thing. He was discussing something ethereal with no material basis, Jiang He never cared about it, he was concerned with the real thing. It's like Jiang He never believed in the so-called criminal psychology before, thinking that the conclusion drawn on a hypothetical premise is too biased.

But last night, for the first time, Jiang He wanted to know what is life, what is justice, and what is the purpose and meaning of his existence.

And this is the change Lao Shao brought to Jiang He.

After a simple wash, Jiang He left the dormitory. Elder Shao was already sitting in the office drinking tea, still holding the teacup. Last night Jiang He knew that this enamel teacup actually had a history, even much older than Jiang He. On the discolored teacup, the original words "Yuzhou City Public Security Bureau" have all been dropped, and only a little bit of red remains.

"Let's talk." Seeing Jiang He, Shao Lao took the initiative to say, "Where do you think we should start?"

Hearing the analysis of the case, Jiang He said seriously: "Since the criminal consultant only left us a ring as a clue, then everything may come from this ring. I carefully observed this ring yesterday, the material is platinum, look The texture should be authentic, and the authentic must have a brand.”

Hearing Jiang He's words, Shao Lao smiled: "That's right, so I have already given the ring to Xu Yiman."

At this time, Yuan Jun was walking in with Guan Deng from the door, and when he heard the words of Mr. Shao, he said, "Xu Yiman? Mr. Shao, you might as well give her the ring to the cleaner, Aunt Wang, for so long. , I have never seen Xu Yiman put on makeup, nor have I seen any jewelry on her body, or even high heels."

Hearing Yuan Jun's words, Jiang He's mind immediately came to his mind, except for the first time he saw Xu Yiman. Jiang He also remembered what Xu Yiman said to himself, the reason why she never wears makeup is that it might affect the smell of the crime scene, thus affecting the detection of the case, even if the impact is actually very subtle.

Then Xu Yiman does not wear high heels, it is easy to infer that wearing high heels is not conducive to walking, and it is not conducive to the pursuit of criminals. Xu Yiman once told Jiang He his story. At that time, Jiang He couldn't understand why it was him, but now Jiang He probably understands a little bit.

There is no empathy in the world, nothing more than a tragic closer.

While Jiang He was still thinking, he heard Xu Yiman say, "I don't wear jewelry doesn't mean I don't understand jewelry. I've already investigated it clearly, this ring is from the brand Derry, which has one of the biggest names in it. The characteristics of this brand of ring, a man can only buy once in a lifetime."

"A man can only buy once in a lifetime?" Yuan Jun couldn't help but say after hearing Xu Yiman's words: "Then this manufacturer must not lose money."

Xu Yiman shook his head: "Most people get married once, and if it's a second marriage, they may not buy a wedding ring. Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and what they do is nothing more than profit calculation, and there are gimmicks. It can attract the attention of customers. It’s just that the positioning of this merchant really helped us, and soon they will find out the number of the ring and tell us the buyer of the ring.”

Xu Yiman sat on the chair and added: "And I looked at the price of the ring, how much do you guess?"

"Five thousand?" Yuan Jun said.

Xu Yiman waved his hand: "Add another zero."

"Fifty thousand?" Yuan Jun couldn't believe it: "It's so expensive? I don't think this ring is anything special. It doesn't even have a diamond on it."

Xu Yiman shrugged and said, "How do we understand the world of rich people? To put it bluntly, a diamond is just a stone, and it has any value other than being beautiful."

While everyone was chatting, the merchant had already sent the buyer's information to Xu Yiman's mobile phone.

"Come on." Xu Yiman turned on his phone and showed everyone the information about this person.

Because buying a ring requires an ID card, when Guan Deng got the ID number, all the information appeared in front of everyone. The person who bought the ring is named Zhao Jie, a native of Yuzhou City. He came to Longcheng a few years ago, where he works and lives. He got married a year ago and is currently working as a clerk in a company.

"A clerk?" Yuan Jun touched his head and said, "Can a clerk buy a ring for his wife for 50,000 yuan?"

"It seems that Zhao Jie loves his wife very much." Xu Yiman replied.

Jiang He stood up and said to the crowd, "The most important thing right now is to figure out one thing, why the wedding ring that Zhao Jie gave to his wife appeared on Zhang Zong's finger."

Shao Lao nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked Xu Yiman: "Xu Yiman, where is the address of Zhao Jie's house? We need to take a look."

"Heroic Community of Heroes Road." Xu Yiman replied, "1702, Unit 5, Building 2."

"The house price in that place seems to be quite cheap." Yuan Jun said, "I originally planned to take out a loan to buy a house there after I was discharged from the army, but unfortunately I haven't found a girlfriend..."

When Mr. Shao heard Yuan Jun's words, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, when the criminal consultant is caught, I will introduce you to some good girls. When I was teaching in the police academy, there were many capable and beautiful girls. girl."

"Okay!" Yuan Jun glanced at Xu Yiman and said, "Can you dress up?"

"Fuck off." Xu Yiman scolded.

The team of the task force came to the hero community. The second unit was not far from the gate of the community. When they looked up, they saw that these buildings were about thirty-two floors high. The first and second buildings are not far away. Above the sixth floor, there is an escape ladder suspended between the two buildings every third floor.

If a fire breaks out in a building between the two buildings, the residents living in the upper floors can use the escape stairs to transfer from one building to another building, so as to go downstairs through the other building to avoid fire damage to people. cause more damage.

The group quickly came to the seventeenth floor and rang the doorbell of Zhao Jie's house. The doorbell rang for about five minutes, but no one answered.

"Nine o'clock." Xu Yiman looked at his watch: "Have the husband and wife gone to work? I'll get in touch."

At this moment, the door was opened from the inside, and a 70-year-old grandmother appeared trembling in front of everyone. She was hunched over, holding a walking stick in one hand. Awkwardly, it seems that it may fall down at any time.

"Who is it? Who are you looking for?" The old grandmother stared at the crowd, saying a sentence intermittently.

"Old sister, we are the police, is this Zhao Jie's house?" Elder Shao said loudly across the security door.

"Police?" The grandmother replied, "What are the police doing here? Are you looking for my grandson?"

"Are you Zhao Jie's grandmother?" Shao Lao asked again.

The grandmother nodded: "Yes, yes, or you can come in and tell me, I'm too old and my body is weak, so it won't take long."

With that said, the grandmother opened the door for everyone.

Several people entered the house one after another.

Jiang He stood in the living room and looked around. He found that the walls of the room were all raised with wallpaper, and it seemed that they had not been decorated. In the living room, which should be on the TV cabinet, there is no TV, but two pots of flowers. There is no air conditioning in the room, and the heating is not enough. Judging from the shoe cabinet, several pairs of shoes are very cheap stalls.

On the coffee table in the living room, there were many bottles and jars. Jiang He looked carefully and found that they were all medicines for the elderly, some for heart disease and some for stomach problems. It seemed that these medicines were taken by this old grandmother. .

The general situation of a family appeared in Jiang He's head. Zhao Jie and his wife were not rich. The purchase of this house must have used up the husband and wife's savings, so there was no way to decorate the house. Zhao Jie's grandmother suffers from geriatric disease, so living here should be convenient to go to the hospital to get medicine.

"Zhao Jie and Xiao Li have both gone to work." The grandmother sat on the sofa and said to Mr. Shao.

Shao Lao nodded and asked, "Old sister, has anything happened in this community recently?"

The grandmother shook her head: "I'm old, with bad eyes and bad ears. I stay at home every day, and I don't know anything. My grandchildren are all at work, otherwise I'll call and ask them."

Shao Lao nodded.

The old grandmother took out a piece of paper from her pocket: "My grandson said that if I feel unwell, I will call him this..."

The old grandma picked up the old mobile phone from the coffee table and dialed the number one by one. After the call was connected, the old grandma said, "My dear grandson, the police have come to our house and asked me if anything happened recently. ,what happened?"

"What? Are you coming back now? Are you not going to work?" the grandmother said again.

After hanging up the phone, the grandmother said, "He said he would be back soon."

"Be right back?"

Shao Lao and Jiang He looked at each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking. In such a hurry to come back, something must have happened.
