It is early winter.
Xiangcheng began to experience continuous rainy weather, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. But the people of Xiangcheng are extremely resistant to cold. Although the temperature has been dropping, many people still wear single clothes and pants. They are used to it and don't feel cold.
You Mingxu is one of them.
In the morning, light rain wet the road. She got off the bus, wearing only a loose long suit and narrow pants, but it made her figure look even more slender and not even fat enough to be held in one hand. But her face was also extremely gloomy, with a cold look that gave off an aura that kept people at a distance. Therefore, most passers-by just glanced at Leng Xishi from afar with a vicious face, and almost no one dared to talk to her.
When she arrived at the police station, she had a quick breakfast, punched in, and attended the weekly meeting. She and Xu Mengshan summarized the major cases in Huaicheng. No one mentioned Fan Jia's name. The deputy director in charge of criminal investigation couldn't bear to mention it, and Ding Xiongwei refused to mention it either. However, the seat where Fan Jia usually sat was empty, right next to You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan.
With Chen Zhaoci's death and arrest, the police announced the resolution of the Huaicheng series of cases, which caused strong social repercussions. Despite repeated policy regulation and banning, illegal and criminal campus loan companies still hang over university campuses like a large gray net. The sexual crime gang implicated in this incident is terrifying to those who hear about it.
The butcher's son, who lived at the bottom of society, was guided by one of the sex crime gangs - a college student who was also a victim of campus loans - and influenced by him. Together with his father and Chen Zhaoci, he began a journey of serial killings.
As an overlapping member of the two gangs, Chen Zhaoci attempted to frame others and get away with it, but the police followed the clues and arrested all the criminals in one fell swoop.
So far, the death toll has reached five, including Liu Yisha, Zhao Feier, and three single women.
The number of college student victims is too numerous to count.

When the meeting was over, Ding Xiongwei called You Mingxu and took him back to his office.
In fact, as soon as they met today, Ding Xiongwei felt that this capable subordinate was a little different. He used to be brave, strong and full of energy. Although she still acts very arrogant today, when she sits on the chair now, she looks a bit lazy and careless.
This change only occurs after some experience. Ding Xiongwei knew the whole thing clearly, as he had gone through the same thing himself. Every criminal policeman, especially the outstanding ones, has experienced such a process of breaking and reshaping all the bones in the body, with the pain hidden deep inside the broken bones. Only then will he gradually temper his temperament that is sharp, restrained but more awe-inspiring.
Feeling a little distressed, Ding Xiongwei made a cup of tea for the first time and placed it in front of You Mingxu. You Mingxu was not polite: "Thank you, Boss." He took a sip and said, "I think the higher-ups have suppressed Gu Tiancheng's matter."
Ding Xiongwei said, "I called you here for this matter. I've read your report. This person is probably involved in a wide range of cases. The higher-ups are planning to conduct a secret investigation first."
You Mingxu: "Count me in."
Ding Xiongwei nodded: "You should take a few days' rest first. The higher-ups will also study how to proceed. They will call you when needed."
"good."
Ding Xiongwei glanced at her, his eyes deep and sharp: "Gu Tiancheng said a lot of things before he ran away. Do you think he did it intentionally or unintentionally?"
You Mingxu replied: "Given his personality, his words are often half true and half false. He has no good intentions, but he can hardly control himself."
"Oh?" Ding Xiongwei's tone was teasing, "Then according to you, which of what he said is true and which is false?"
You Mingxu looked directly at his boss, the old wolf, without dodging: "According to me, it may be true that there are hidden stories in Gu Tiancheng's case and the youth exchange murder case; it is also true that he and the people behind him have other intentions. It is false to throw dirty water on Yin Feng. He hates me for arresting him, and deliberately makes a rift between Yin Feng and me."
Even Ding Xiongwei was choked by You Mingxu's self-righteous defense of his shortcomings. Why not just point it out: "Are you really in love with that kid?"
You Mingxu glanced at him sideways, thinking what nonsense he was talking about. It made her seem worse than an animal.
Yin Feng... apart from being a little simple-minded now, how is he like a child anymore?
The corners of his mouth curled up subconsciously.
Ding Xiongwei had sharp eyes and felt that it was unbearable to watch this usually icy female subordinate secretly having a crush on someone, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's get down to business!"
You Mingxu said calmly: "You were the one who asked first. To be honest, he and I are doing very well now. He will be my boyfriend from now on, so you and your brothers should give him some face when you meet him."
Ding Xiongwei glanced at her with his tiger eyes, and said in defeat, "Okay. But I personally don't believe what Gu Tiancheng said. I believe Yin Feng is fine. But Gu Tiancheng wouldn't mention him for no reason. It was really too coincidental that he met you and Gu Tiancheng in Tibet that day. There may be some hidden clues in him, you should be aware of it."
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, nodded, and then said, "Yin Feng once said that he remembered that someone had always been spying on him and following him, which made him feel strongly threatened. Maybe he became the target of criminals for some reason. Or maybe he was attacked and held hostage by Gu Tiancheng in Tibet that day, which was also premeditated and not accidental. But he still can't remember anything now. You don't need me to tell you, I will keep a close eye on him."
Ding Xiongwei thought for a moment and said, "Protect him well. Whether before or after losing his memory, he is someone worthy of our protection."
You Mingxu smiled.
"Old Ding." You Mingxu's tone became serious. "Do you think there really is a highly intelligent criminal gang behind Gu Tiancheng? If so, what is the purpose of this gang's existence? Why haven't we discovered it yet?"
Ding Xiongwei took a sip of tea and answered, "In fact, someone asked this question during the meeting with the superiors two days ago. Gu Tiancheng must have had accomplices to escape from the river. But has it really risen to the level of organized crime? My judgment is - yes. During your time in Huaicheng, you were injured and recuperated for a while. Luo Ping and the others also found some clues."
"What?"
"In addition to Zhao Fei'er and Liu Yisha, the Dengs also took three women from the street and never found them. I was suspicious at the time. Even if they were single women with poor economic conditions and who did not attract attention, how could they disappear one after another without anyone noticing or reporting the case? Later we found out that after the three people disappeared, someone took follow-up measures: for example, they sent text messages to their families to report their safety; told their friends that they were traveling; and some bought train tickets to falsify their whereabouts. At first we suspected that it might be Chen Zhaoci who did it, but Deng Yao confessed that he did not know about these things at all, and he was very sure that Chen Zhaoci did not do it. He was the one who arrested the people, and Chen Zhaoci did not care at all."
