I don't have ulterior motives

Chapter 25

"Can't the police officer see it? These are all famous guns." Shu Linan stepped forward, "From antique guns to the latest ARAK, there are also those that have been on the battlefield of World War II, um, such as this one." He said, Reach out to unlock the fingerprint lock on the cabinet door.

Liao Fangyuan grabbed his wrist, Shu Linan broke free and took a step back: "It's just for watching. There are no bullets, so don't be nervous."

Liao Fangyuan nodded: "Confiscated."

Shu Lin'an looked regretful: "It's just a collection like porcelain."

"Porcelain? Porcelain can kill people. What's more, you are guilty of possession of firearms." Liao Fangyuan waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing to talk about.

Shu Linan sighed: "A gun here can be sold for millions in the market..."

"You still want to sell it to the market?" Liao Fangyuan glanced at him, "Tell me, what channel."

Shu Lin'an shook his head: "I don't mind giving it to the police station, I'm afraid you will just throw it in the warehouse casually, and then you will be treated the same as the one on your waist." He said, and glanced at it sympathetically. Liao Fangyuan took a look.

Liao Fangyuan felt that this look was full of class discrimination.

He called his colleagues in the police station on the spot and asked them to collect the gun. After hanging up the phone, he educated: "Guns are tools, tools are for use, and you don't know how to use them. They are used as exhibits all day long. What's the point of selling them in the cabinet."

Shu Lin'an just shrugged: "I don't know how to use it?"

He smiled and said, "You've wronged me."

Liao Fangyuan glanced at him with frozen eyes: "What did you say?"

Shu Lin'an didn't answer, but only said: "The things were handcuffed, and the gun was also taken away. I can only help you here for the time being. Do you have any questions, Mr. Police Officer?"

With a dark face, Liao Fangyuan and Shu Lin'an returned to the upper room, and when his colleagues came to confiscate all of Shu Pingyuan's collections, he took the two of them away with a USB flash drive.Before leaving, Shu Lin'an was still telling them the precautions for the maintenance of firearms.

Liao Fangyuan leaned against the door frame and listened, and finally said, "That's all right, all right, the police station doesn't have that much money." Saying this, he drove the two of them into the car.

Shu Lin'an and Jin Bei sat in the back seat of the car, looking out the window.The car gradually approached the school, and Liao Fangyuan stopped the car opposite the school: "Here we are."

Jin Bei looked out the window and said suspiciously, "My house hasn't arrived yet."

Liao Fangyuan put his hand on the car window: "Are you home? It's only 10:30, why don't you go to school?"

"Go to school?" Jin Bei didn't even react.

"You are a high school student. The task of high school students is to study. I am a policeman. My task is to investigate." He looked at the back seat from the rearview mirror. Go back and study hard."

Hearing his earnest tone, Jin Bei felt that this style of painting was not quite right.

"Okay, get out of the car." Liao Fangyuan drove the two of them off, and drove off in a hurry.

Jin Bei stood by the side of the road, caressing his forehead inexplicably: "Is he sick? We didn't even bring our schoolbags."

It rained last night, but the sun was shining brightly this morning, piercing through the clouds and falling like a sword dropped by a god.Shu Lin'an looked at the profile of Jin Bei's sharp edge, and smiled in a good mood: "Then...do you want to go for a walk by the river?"

"Okay." Jin Bei said and walked across the road.In the middle of the road, he turned around and held Shu Linan's hand.

Shu Linan's hand froze for a moment, then moved in his palm, changed his position, and clasped the other's ten fingers.

The sun in late autumn spreads on the river, and the river surface is as bright as silver satin.Jin Bei rubbed the tiger's mouth of Shu Lin'an's right hand with his thumb, where there was a thin layer of callus.

"You can use a gun?"

"Shu Pingyuan taught it, it's just for self-defense."

Jin Bei nodded: "Very good...the people you come into contact with are so dangerous."

Shu Linan sighed.Jin Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down at him.

Shu Lin'an looked at the river: "Although Shu Pingyuan is cold and strict to me, and doesn't make people get close to me, he hasn't hurt me after all. He even plans to give... his tools to me at the end." He raised his head, Glancing at Jin Bei, "Although I don't know, is he afraid of losing his treasured sword by doing this, or is it for my self-defense."

Jin Bei thought to himself, this is not hurt?

From the beginning until now, he felt that Shu Lin'an was so calm, as if Shu Pingyuan was not his father at all, but just an insignificant person.But now he finally saw a trace of bewilderment in the other party's eyes.

"Are you guilty? Lin'an."

"Ah? I..." Shu Lin'an was speechless.

"To whom?"

"..." Shu Linan bit her lip.

Jin Bei stopped and faced the other party: "You don't owe anyone, nor do you feel sorry for anyone."

"……yes."

"Yes." Jin Bei thought to himself, of course my baby is good in everything, it's because others are bad.

He pondered for a while, then said: "I don't know if it's lost or lost, but it's just for self-defense...it's easy to hurt yourself with it, why don't you let me do it."

After a while, Shu Lin'an nodded: "So I am willing to break that sharp blade."

Thursday afternoon.In the meeting room, Ju Zhang sat at the end of the long table, with Liao Fangyuan, Ye Xian, Lan Hua and others lined up on both sides.

The task force for the Qiu and Sun cases has just been established.Next to the computer in the meeting room was the fake video.

The falsification of the video was found out by He Chen. After careful comparison, he found that the shooting time was not the night of October 23rd. When they took the video to the technical investigation team, they learned that Pan Rusong had already asked for leave for a few days. .

"Xia Qiming made a confession, Qiu Zhuo was killed, and the surveillance records of Yin Qi being photographed on the street corner appeared. Immediately afterwards, we found Yin Qi easily." Zhang Ju said, and paused, "Will this case be solved? Is it too smooth? After all, it doesn’t look like we broke it at all.”

Indeed, the step-by-step appearance of clues is arranged by someone.

Zhang Ya is nearly [-] years old, and has been the director of the Municipal Bureau of G City for more than ten years.Experience and intuition told him that there are deep roots behind these cases, especially the driver involved, Yin Qi, who was also related to an unsolved case four years ago. It was based on that case that they identified Yin Qi and Shu Pingyuan's relationship.

"The blood test at the scene of Sun Zhuqi's case came out." Ye Xian said, "The results show that the owner of the blood has a history of drug abuse."

"If it's the murderer's blood, we can narrow down the scope and investigate those who have drug abuse records in the whole city." Liao Fangyuan said.

"In addition to the drugs, the mark on the corpse—" Lan Hua said, "the ouroboros ring, or Ouroboros, is derived from the alchemical mark. A snake swallows its own tail. It has many symbols: the cycle of seasons , self-conception, hermaphrodite, original unity... In short, it has the meaning of cycle and unity. The murderer engraves such a mark on the lower abdomen of the victim who has been raped, indicating that he believes that the intercourse with the victim, It's an act with sacred connotations ... it's ritualistic."

"Ritual?" Liao Fangyuan raised his eyebrows, "What about Qiu Zhuo, is that the reason for the marks on his body? But he was not violated."

"The meaning of sex is only one of the directions of this mark. There may be other things in Qiu Zhuo that express the concept of cycle and rebirth." Lan Hua thought for a while, "such as dismembering the corpse."

"Or to put it another way, Sun Zhuqi's case was committed by the murderer spontaneously. But Qiu Zhuo was instigated by someone behind the scenes. Considering their identities," Zhang Ju said.

Liao Fangyuan looked at Lan Hua: "What does that mark mean?"

"The murderer has a certain obsession with self and identity. The markings are very delicate, and the body parts are arranged neatly, with a certain degree of obsessive tendency. In addition, the method of dismembering the corpse is very skilled. Unlike Zheng Cheng's death, the two divisions Every time the corpse chooses the easiest part of human muscle tissue to cut, he knows the human body very well, and he may even be a surgeon." Lan Hua said.

Director Zhang nodded: "The mark can be checked in this direction. Also, the case four years ago needs to be paid attention to again. Although no evidence was obtained at the time, it was also a drug trade dispute."

Four years ago, Shu Pingyuan and Ke Tanmeng were involved in a murder together. The deceased was Ke Tanmeng's former subordinate. He used to work in Yuntian Evernight City. However, he had frequent contacts with drug lords in other provinces in the weeks before he was killed, probably because of betrayal. , and was disposed of by Ke Tanmeng.That case also involved innocent people, and because of this, the police got an informant.

He glanced at everyone, and said: "About the drug trade, I just received news that the informant said that something will happen in Yuntian this Saturday."

Everyone is alert.

"So fast?" Liao Fangyuan sat up straight.

"When?" Ye Xian asked.

"It has not been confirmed yet, and you need to be on standby at any time."

"Is it a deal?" Lan Hua asked.

"It's a negotiation."

After school, Jin Bei and Shu Lin'an met Liao Fangyuan at the corner.

Liao Fangyuan was dressed in casual clothes, nodded to them, walked with them all the way to Jin Bei's house, called up a photo on his mobile phone and handed it to Shu Lin'an: "Have you seen this man?"

"What's wrong?" Jin Bei asked.

"The surveillance footage of Huang Xiaotian captured by the Muya Hotel is fake. The person who restored the surveillance to us, Pan Rusong, is him," Liao Fangyuan pointed to his phone, "I haven't come to work since Monday, saying that I took a long vacation, and now Couldn't get in touch."

The previous guess was confirmed, but Shu Lin'an didn't say anything. "I've never seen it." He handed the phone back to Liao Fangyuan, "Did Huang Xiaotian disappear after he died?"

"Ah."

"What about his background?"

"Very ordinary. We have already asked his colleagues and parents, and they all said that this person usually has no characteristics and is quite silent. His parents are ordinary company employees and did not live with him. However," Liao Fangyuan swept them At a glance, "His parents said that last Sunday, their son gave them a sum of money, saying it was a bonus for solving the case. There was a total of [-] yuan. They wondered how there was so much bonus for such a big case. .”

"Last Sunday..." Shu Lin'an whispered.

"Are you wondering if he has already been silenced?" Liao Fangyuan squinted at him.

The author has something to say:

"Are you guilty? Lin'an."

"Hmm. I don't collect them all. Is it because I'm not cute enough?"

"..."
