Chapter 58 Humbert Humbert

Luo Wenzhou actually has a separate office, but I don't know if it's for the convenience of communication, or because he doesn't want to stay by himself. His office is open to the outside. Although there is a door in the middle, the last time it was closed was probably in the Year of the Donkey. , was pushed flat on the wall by a bunch of debris placed by the crowd, basically equivalent to non-existence.

The plants in the house are very well-kept, and the flowers near the window sill are all thriving. The bright ones are on the outer layer, and the joyful ones are in the corners. Unfortunately, was watered to death by the overnight tea of ​​ slacker colleagues every morning, and the broken tea leaves in the flowerpot were about to be poisoned.

Luo Wenzhou's wallet and keys were just thrown on the table in a big way, and he wasn't at all afraid of people taking them—although in Fei Du's view, there really wasn't much to hold.

Fei Du honestly waited in his office for a while. The wait was boring, and the smell around him was unbearable. He had a premonition that Luo Wenzhou would not be able to come out for a while, so he sent him a message: "I need you to help you. Feed the cat?"

Luo Wenzhou only returned a full stop in his busy schedule. He was probably too busy to take care of it. Fei Du took his acquiescence and picked up his key and left.

Luo Wenzhou's house was not far from the city bureau. He could get there by bicycle, and the taxi fare was just over the starting price. Fei Du was once familiar with his life. As soon as he opened the door, a small fèng, a ball of hair couldn't wait to stick his head out. The next moment, the ball of hair suddenly realized that the person was wrong, it "slipped", like lightning He got back under the sofa, stretched his neck and looked out nervously.

The night before, Tao Ran called them out on the phone halfway through their meal. Before they could clean up the house, Luo Wenzhou copied the dishes and bowls on the table and stuffed them into the refrigerator as if he was dealing with a surprise cleaning of the university dormitory. Due to improper space planning, there was really no place to put the last plate of croquettes, so had to temporarily put it on the top of the one-meter-eight refrigerator-with a fluke of the old cat's ability to climb high.

Obviously, a fluke is a fluke.

The broken pieces of porcelain were scattered all the way from the dining room to the living room, and the meatballs were lying on the ground in pieces, each with tooth marks on it. Comrade Luo Yiguo's experiments were brilliant, and he probably tasted them one by one before he came to the conclusion that "all of them are not to my taste" by exhaustive method.

The cat food bowl was already empty, and the light was dimly lit. I wonder if the cat licked it by itself.

Fei Du grabbed the cat food like Luo Wenzhou, thought about it, then opened two cans and put them aside.

Luo Yiguo, who was licking his plate with hunger, couldn't resist the temptation, and a small head quietly popped out, caught Fei Du's line of sight, and shrank back tremblingly.

Fei Du ignored it and washed his hands twice to get rid of the fishy smell of cat food. Then he pulled out the broom from the kitchen and tried to sweep the whole floor together—he really wasn't a piece of shit. Living materials, even after sweeping for a long time, can't get to the point.

Mr. Fei hung one hand and stood beside him leaning on a broom. He objectively evaluated the results of his labor. He felt that he had swept the ground smooth, which was similar to the city bureau's canteen that wiped the floor with oil.

He gave up decisively, pulled out a familiar housekeeping company from his mobile phone, and temporarily hired an hourly worker.

At this time, he suddenly felt that his heel was touched by something.

When Fei Du turned around, he found that Luo Yiguo had come over at some point. The cat food in the basin was less than half. He had enough to eat and drink. Finally, he mustered up the courage to circle around Fei Du. , hesitantly smelled under his feet.

Finding Fei Du looking at it, Luo Yiguo turned around and jumped two meters away. After a while, seeing that he had no response, he turned around again as if exploring.

Fei Du raised his trouser legs and squatted down, extending two fingers to him.

Luo Yiguo first instinctively ducked, and then saw that he was not moving, and then he leaned in with his beard trembling to smell it. It might have smelled the warm cat food. He gradually lowered his guard and touched Fei Du with the tip of his nose. What kind of bad treatment was received, it lowered its head boldly again, and rubbed the top of its head against his palm.

Fei Du's hands froze.

Seeing that his reaction was slow, Luo Yiguo became more daring, raised his big tail high, and disarmed himself, and turned around Fei Du to hear the sound, and he heard the sound of mother again in his throat. A thin cry.

Fei Du finally put his hanging hand on the cat's back, and gently stroked along the glossy hair. Luo Yiguo leaned on him to find a comfortable place, occasionally arching his head into his sleeve, and Fei Du raised his arm and pulled it up.

"You don't remember me?" Fei Du asked softly.

Luo Yiguo supported his fist-less brain, and looked at Fei Du ignorantly and a little fearfully. Animals would follow their instincts, and their instincts made them afraid of Fei Du, even though they didn't know what they were afraid of. At the same time, Luo Yiguo was developed by Luo Wenzhou into a creature that remembered eating but not beating, and a bowl of cat food made it overcome his own instincts.

Fei Du looked at it, but a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand. He gently put Luo Yiguo aside, and he quickly retracted his hand.

The small animal's soft body, undulating breathing and heartbeat made him feel unbearable.

He stood up abruptly, avoiding the curious Luo Yiguo, his back pressed against the wall.

What is "life"?

It seems like a biological definition, but the average person understands the word much earlier than they start taking biology classes.

Some people have experienced some situations of birth, old age, sickness and death early, and adults have used their own experiences to explain them in a more simple or more comical way.

Some people form a blurred concept by themselves in the constant repetition of books and film and television dramas.

Fei Du fumbled out his cell phone and earphones, and like an addict he hurriedly inserted the earphones into his ears. The familiar and sad song immediately filled his world. On the cat in the distance, the cat is really annoying. It's okay to eat when it's full, so I go to smash the pieces of porcelain and the balls rolled all over the floor. It's a lot of fun, and there are more mimeographs on the ground.

"What is life?" The man's voice seemed to sound in his ear.

The man held his hand and let him put his hand on a small animal. It might be a small hamster, a small quail or a small rabbit. Fei Du couldn't remember it. In short, it was a very small creature, only a child. He could hold his hand too, but he only remembered that a small ball of fur was curled up in his palm, warm and soft, with a heartbeat that seemed to be trembling.

It feels amazing.

"This is life," said the voice.

Suddenly, the hand that had been gently guiding him suddenly tightened, like a pair of huge iron pincers, and shoved his hand in the middle, forcing him to grab the neck of the little thing and squeeze it tightly. Hold his fingers. The little animal struggled and let out a dying whimper, and he struggled subconsciously, but the man could easily control him, until the trembling heartbeat and futile struggle died down in his palm.

"This is death." The voice said to him, "Look, in fact, between life and death, it's just a very bland process, and it's not as serious as people make it up. The reason for this is because people act as A social animal with deep roots, on the one hand, it wants to use the group and society to survive better, on the other hand, it is difficult to restrain all kinds of bizarre evil thoughts and desires, so it is necessary to agree on a set of restrictive rules, such as the so-called '' Law' and 'public order and good morals', the former is a contract with this society, in order to prevent you from breaking the contract in private, and the latter, people accept the brainwashing of group values, and then willingly behave in the same way as the majority of people. With that, you're out of the mold of most people."

"Do you still want to know the truth about life and death again... What does shaking your head mean? Children must be humble, and what they have learned can only become their own if they are learned back and forth. Come on, let's do it all over again—"

The knock on the door by the hourly worker suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Fei Du gave a violent jerk, and a thin layer of cold sweat had already soaked out of his forehead.

An hour later, Fei Du returned to the city bureau with a few cups of freshly ground coffee.

At this time, the wandering victim's family members had basically disappeared, leaving only Qu Tong's parents and Guo Heng sitting opposite. One is that he still can't believe the facts and is looking forward to the one in ten thousand hope, and the other is waiting for the truth that is more than 20 years late. Guo Hengzheng and Qu Tong's father were chatting about something. The conversation was often interrupted by the sudden tears of the young couple. They calmed down for a while, and then struggled to comfort each other.

Fei Du had just arrived at the office area of ​​the criminal investigation team when he saw a stocky middle-aged man with a scar on his brow and a group of people walking past: "...If you're still at home, just leave the necessary people on duty in each department. The rest will go to support, Xiao Tao's side is not enough, I will file a report and apply for a joint operation with the local police force..."

When he saw Fei Du, he suddenly stopped talking.

Fei Du deduced that this person should be a certain leader of the city bureau. He didn't know how Luo Wenzhou reported to his superiors. He was about to come forward and introduce himself when the middle-aged man made a gesture to the people next to him, signaling them to hurry up. Time moved, and then he walked towards Fei Du himself, and extended his hand first: "It's President Fei, I'm Lu Youliang, the interim person in charge of the Municipal Bureau. I issued your last pennant."

Fei Du put the coffee aside, and shook his generous palm solemnly: "Juju Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lu Youliang said a few polite words to him, and then added: "Tao Ran and the others have found the place where the suspects were buried on a large scale. Let's adopt the crowd tactics. The excavation work should be very fast, and we can give the society a result soon."

In the memorial hall, Luo Wenzhou once mentioned that Su Hui’s hometown was in Pinghai County, a county under the jurisdiction of Yancheng, one of the city’s water sources, and it was most likely the place where the body was thrown in this case.

So Fei Du asked very politely: "Is it in Pinghai County? There is a project over there. I have a stake in the project and it is under construction. The construction site is relatively staffed. If necessary, I can call someone to come over there. help."

"Huh?" Lu Youliang was stunned, probably thinking that Fei Du had heard it wrong, he specifically explained, "They didn't make it clear, it's not in the 'Ping'hai, in the 'Binhai', it's three or four hours' drive from us , although it can be regarded as the nearest marine resource, but the division of administrative regions has been out of the province, alas, it is also troublesome to coordinate..."

In the dimly lit corridor, Fei Du's pupils shrank sharply, and after a long while he found his own voice: "The corpse sinks into the sea? But it's not the typhoon season recently. Wouldn't there be any problem with throwing the corpse in the sea?"

"Yes, those who are inconvenient to throw their bodies into the sea are buried," said Bureau Lu. "I'm looking for these now, especially Qu Tong, that girl is too crucial."

At this time, Qu Tong's parents and Guo Heng, who had just been alerted by the news of the Lu Bureau's dispatch of troops, came over and planned to inquire about the progress of the case. Several duty officers rushed up to prevent them from entering the office area.

"Hey, don't," Bureau Lu said hurriedly, "let them come over and sit down, the family members will understand, I'll go and have a few words with them."

Fei Du cleared his grumpy throat and said at the right time, "You're busy, I won't disturb you."

Lu Youliang nodded at him and sighed heavily: "The suspects involved in this case are really... Alas, if they are caught, they may not be satisfactory. I'm afraid that what happened 20 years ago will happen again."

After he finished speaking, he nodded towards Fei Du and walked past him quickly.

It may be that the society has paid more attention to environmental protection in recent years. It is said that the Binhai generation wanted to develop it, but some environmental protection-related qualifications and procedures have not been completed, so it has been delayed until now.

The convalescence industry on several small islands is relatively developed. There is an oil painting village nearby. Every year, the school will bring students to sketch at a fixed time period and a fixed contract school. Do business, and the rest of the time is basically a matter of time.

The non-coastal areas are more mountainous, undulating and inaccessible. Only some old roads that have passed through them for a long time. The rough and undisturbed dense forests are full of greenery and are filled with the brackish sea breeze.

All road sections have been sealed, and all the fresh and beautiful scenery photos on the photo wall have been marked one by one, stretching for nearly ten kilometers. The local police dispatched from Binhai City circled countless lines along a circle.

"Deputy Tao, found a place... ah, wait! This corpse is fresh!"

Qu Tong's small body was cut into seven or eight pieces, which were buried separately. They were finally put together at dawn. The cut marks on the corpse were consistent with several of the knives in the room in Xiangyang Community. A little jīng liquid was extracted.

This misfortune caused the middle-aged man arrested by Lang Qiao to collapse on the spot.

"I was with another child at the time. I already knew that her parents were busy with work and often went home by themselves. I didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing as a robber kidnaps a ticket... At that time, I wanted to call the police, it was the little girl, Just that Su Luozhan has been bewitching me, she said she liked this, she tried her best to push me to catch this, it happened that I was familiar with Xiling, and my brain became hot..."

"I didn't kill anyone! Absolutely didn't kill anyone! I left after the incident, really, the man at that time, the cleaner, rushed in angrily and grabbed Su Luozhan. I didn't see it right, so I ran away by myself. I really didn't know they would be so mad, you really believe me!"

"I like them so much, why would I want to hurt them?"
