Trafford’s Trading Club

For a moment, Chen Mingming felt that it might be a good thing if the speed of the car could be slower, or if the destination was further away.

The father and son were chatting in the car.

They will discuss things about the case, they will talk about irrelevant things, and they may sigh because they pass by a place that has changed.

This is a very strange feeling, the father and son are together...like they are playing a detective game together.

Of course, this is a real-life investigation, and you may encounter dangers outside of the game.

Unknowingly, the car stopped.

Wang Liang's rental house had been sealed long ago. Zhou Yusheng tore the seal open without saying a word, opened the door and walked in. Chen Mingming stood outside the door subconsciously, looking thoughtful.

Zhou Yusheng turned around and asked curiously: "What did you find?"

Chen Mingming shook his head subconsciously, and then walked into the rental house. The body in the freezer had been removed long ago, but the position of the freezer had not been moved, and everything in the rental house had not been moved. It was still extremely neat. appearance.

Zhou Yusheng has been to the scene several times and found no new clues. If Chen Mingming hadn't asked to watch it again this time, he probably wouldn't come again in a short time.

However, the air in the room seemed a bit dull. Zhou Yusheng went directly to the window and opened it. He was not afraid of damaging the scene. After such a long time, the colleagues who collected the evidence had already sampled all the valuable things.

According to the collector, when they arrived at the scene, not a single fingerprint was found. The rental house was as clean as if it had been washed inside and out with disinfectant.

But this was Chen Mingming's first time coming to this place... He frowned and looked at the neat rental house. He immediately felt a very comfortable feeling that the house was in its best condition at this time, even if it was still needed. Cleaning, I have also found places that should not be cleaned.

Zhou Yusheng knew that there was not much value here, but that did not prevent him from accompanying Chen Mingming to investigate here because in his opinion, this was a good thing that could increase Chen Mingming's experience in handling cases.

He was not even in a hurry to ask Chen Mingming, but instead waited very patiently... Or subconsciously, as a father, he also hoped that Chen Mingming could give him some unexpected surprises.

Chen Mingming suddenly moved at this moment. He suddenly opened the shoe cabinet at the door, and then under Zhou Yusheng's surprised gaze, he took out some of the shoes inside and threw them on the ground casually.

Zhou Yusheng was startled and was about to ask him what he wanted to do. At this time, Chen Mingming was no longer satisfied with digging out the contents of the shoe cabinet.

He started walking around the house, messing up the sofa, cabinets, tables, and even the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, everything that should have been neat and tidy.

Finally, Chen Mingming returned to the entrance.

At this time, the entire rental house looked messy, and it felt more like a single man living in this state.

Although Wang Liang has many girlfriends, they are not living together. According to the survey data, Wang Liang himself does not have mysophobia. The police once went to the bar where Wang Liang worked. In the storage compartment that Wang Liang had not dealt with after he came to his senses, he could see that the things inside were in a mess.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yusheng frowned and asked with some confusion.

Chen Mingming was silent for a moment and then said: "I want to simulate the murderer's action pattern..."

"Imitation?" Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but was startled, and then nodded, "Okay, you're a profiling student, so give it a try... You imitate the murderer, and I'll imitate Wang Liang... But now we don't even know the murderer. It’s impossible to know the method of killing.”

"It's night." Chen Mingming said subconsciously.

"night?"

"Late night is the best time to hide." Chen Mingming pondered: "Assuming that Wang Liang did not resist at that time. He may be asleep or drunk."

"Get drunk." Zhou Yusheng said: "According to the investigation, Wang Liang is a person who wakes up easily. The place where he works is a bar... There is also a lot of wine hidden in this room. He should have the habit of drinking on weekdays, and It’s also easiest for a drunk person to do it.”

As for the place where he slept after being drunk... Seeing that the rental house was so clean, Zhou Yusheng felt that it would be the same wherever he slept, so he simply lay down on the sofa and said, "You start."

Chen Mingming nodded, walked out of the door, and closed the door.

He stood in front of the door, closed his eyes, put his hand on the doorknob, and became motionless... Suddenly, Chen Mingming opened his eyes and gently pushed the door open.

He entered the house and saw the messy entrance. He frowned first, then straightened the shoes scattered at the entrance, and then slowly walked into the house step by step.

At this time, Zhou Yusheng, who was watching Chen Mingming's actions, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly lay down but did not close his eyes.

Chen Mingming quickly came to the sofa, but he did not make a move. The father and son looked at each other. Although Zhou Yusheng was very curious, he did not disturb him.

He knew that case simulation required a certain amount of concentration, especially when the person playing the role of the murderer was fully committed.

Finally, Chen Mingming took action. He walked into the kitchen and took out a roll of plastic wrap. Then he came to Zhou Yusheng and slowly put the plastic wrap on Zhou Yusheng's face. Of course, he didn't wrap it tightly.

Zhou Yusheng pretended to struggle in pain for a few times and then stopped moving.

After that, Chen Mingming stopped and did not move again.

After a long time, seeing that Chen Mingming made no next move, Zhou Yusheng finally couldn't help it, took the plastic wrap off his face, sat up and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Something's wrong..." Chen Mingming frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yusheng asked in shock: "By the way, why did you choose plastic wrap instead of other murder weapons?"

Chen Mingming said subconsciously: "In places like sofas or beds, if other murder weapons are used, blood stains will easily be left... Since the murderer is a tidy person, he will not dirty anything extra when he attacks. Choking should be his first choice."

Of course it could also be poison.

But considering that the murderer had kept this rental house so clean, using poison would be inappropriate. If it was poisoning, there would be no need for him to clean up the house again.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Zhou Yusheng nodded, "You haven't told me yet, what's wrong?"

"Incoherent." Chen Mingming muttered: "The dismemberment of the body is actually not in line with the murderer's character. He chose suffocation, so there is no need to dismember the body. It will only make the place dirtier. .”

"Maybe he has a dual personality. In addition to being neat, he also has a violent side." Zhou Yusheng analyzed.

Chen Mingming said: "Then he would have used a more violent and cruel weapon from the beginning. It will be dealt with in the end anyway."

"Well..." Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but think deeply.

At this time, the phone rang. After Zhou Yusheng answered the call, he quickly nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After the phone was turned off, Zhou Yusheng said seriously: "I found where this freezer was sold from!"

In the entire rental house, only the freezer for hiding corpses seemed so out of place. Normal people don't need this kind of thing in their homes. Besides, there is already a refrigerator in the kitchen of the rental house. Wang Liang obviously doesn't need another refrigerator.

Then there is only one possibility, this refrigerator is probably prepared by the murderer in advance.

After figuring out this incident, the policemen at the Criminal Police Brigade couldn't help but feel a little angry. The murderer blatantly cut the body into pieces and then hid it. He even used Wang Liang's phone and phone card to make it look like Wang Liang was still alive... It seemed like It's like challenging the police.

When going out, Zhou Yusheng wanted to go to the store that sold freezers as soon as possible, thinking that he might be able to find some breakthrough clues about the murderer.

But what Chen Mingming thought of was another thing: the test questions, the information on the parchment, and the last sentence written: The key person, Zhao Le.

Subconsciously, Chen Mingming did not raise this point with Zhou Yusheng because the police had concluded that Zhao Le could not complete another murder case.

…

…

This is an electrical appliance repair department located in Lao Cai.

According to the investigation of the freezer, many parts of the circuit inside the freezer have aged and are obviously not brand new, but the factory information can be found.

They traced the original purchaser and learned from the purchaser that the freezer was directly sold second-hand to an old electrical appliance recycler. Finally, they learned from the recycler that the freezer was finally sold to this maintenance department.

After arriving, Zhou Yusheng showed his ID directly in front of the boss, and gave the photo and model of the freezer.

"Well...this freezer is indeed sold here." The boss thought for a while and gave the answer.

Zhou Yusheng suddenly became happy and asked quickly: "Do you remember what the person who came to buy looks like?"

The boss said: "I don't know. That day, a man wearing a mask and a mask came to buy something. After he bought it, he wrote an address for us to send it there, and then there was no contact again."

"Didn't you enter the house?" Chen Mingming frowned.

The boss shook his head and said: "I didn't go into the house, I just left it at the door. Strangely enough, almost no one would put it at the door without letting me in... So I remember this thing relatively clearly."

"Then can you probably remember the characteristics of the man who bought the thing?" Zhou Yusheng continued to ask.

The boss shook his head: "Ah, sir, this happened a few months ago. How can I remember it so clearly?"

"Okay." Zhou Yusheng nodded helplessly, but then he arranged for someone to come over and make a character puzzle for the boss...at least not let go of any clues.

The father and son did not get too major a breakthrough here, but looking at the time, the sky was already darkening.

In the past week, Zhou Yusheng did not force himself to work like before, but instead went to and from get off work on time.

He looked at the time: "It's already o'clock, shall we go home directly?"

Chen Mingming was stunned for a moment, then nodded... When he went home, he only went back to the place where Zhou Yusheng lived, not where he and his mother lived, right?

Chen Mingming couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't express it... Forget it, he needed to complete the assessment in the past few days anyway, so it seemed more convenient to live with his father for a few days.

Originally, the place where Zhou Yusheng lived was also the place where he lived in the past... He actually still kept the key.

…

At seven o'clock in the evening, when Zhou Yusheng returned home, took out the key, opened the door and walked in, Chen Mingming smelled the aroma of food.

He couldn't help but feel startled.

He saw a woman wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen with dishes in her hands... Chen Mingming stood stunned on the spot. This woman was none other than her mother.

"You're back! It's just time to eat, wash your hands quickly!" The woman smiled at this time.

"It smells so good!" Zhou Yusheng was smiling all over his face.

"Mingming, why are you standing still?" The woman looked at Chen Mingming with a confused look on her face.

Chen Mingming opened his mouth, and then chose silence... He chose to walk into the bathroom. He felt that he needed to calm down.

"Has even this relationship between husband and wife been...repaired?"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Mingming couldn't help but become distracted.

When he walked out of the bathroom, his parents were already sitting at the dinner table. Zhou Yusheng was immersed in eating rice, while his mother was filling herself with soup.

He sat down subconsciously.

Father and mother were chatting at this time, or some trivial things.

Zhou Yusheng probably didn't like these trivial things very much, so he asked Chen Mingming casually: "Mingming, I suddenly remembered something. Why do you think the murderer chose to buy an old freezer?"

Chen Mingming subconsciously said: "It may be that new refrigerators are easier to trace, or it may be that the murderer's original financial situation is not very good, so he chose this relatively cheap second-hand freezer. Furthermore, regular sales departments generally use surveillance cameras. , the murderer may not want to expose himself."

"Well, I think so too." Zhou Yusheng nodded.

"You two! Now that you've returned home, can you please calm down for a while and not discuss the case?" The mother was slightly angry at this time and glared at Zhou Yusheng, "Do you want to eat yet?"

"Eat, eat! You must eat it!" Zhou Yusheng shrugged with a playful smile.

His mother rolled her eyes at him, then turned to look at Chen Mingming, "Don't imitate all the bad things your dad did, you know?"

As she said that, her mother gave Chen Mingming a piece of chicken leg meat.

Listening to his mother's lesson to his father, looking at Zhou Yusheng's impatient appearance but not daring to contradict him, and then looking at the chicken legs in his bowl, Chen Mingming subconsciously touched his cheeks... For some reason, they felt so moist.

Learn to cry.

do you mean this.

"Son, why are you crying?" The mother was suddenly shocked and started to scramble.

Zhou Yusheng also put down his chopsticks and looked at him with concern.

Chen Mingming's lips trembled a few times, and his voice was hoarse: "It's nothing... I just feel like I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. It's delicious..."

"Silly boy……"

…

…

Youye gave it a new name, "Red Dust".

This is already the second time Luo Qiu has tasted this newly prepared wine.

Sitting in front of the bar, holding his chin in one hand and gently shaking the cup in his hand, Luo Qiu's eyes gradually became hazy as he watched what Chen Mingming was going through during the assessment.

If he hadn't walked to the club out of curiosity that day...or if time had been pushed forward again, if his father had not left.

Will he ever have such a day?

I went to handle a case with my father, went home together, sat at the dinner table, and watched the figure busy preparing dinner.

Will he also inadvertently discuss the case with his father during dinner, and then arouse his mother's dissatisfaction?

Eat a meal like this and have a night like this.

The mortal world is like a dream.

Chen Mingming, this moment seems to be another dream of Luo Qiu.
