Controlled experiment

Chapter 23

The casino owner looked at Du Yusheng's outstretched five fingers and broke out in cold sweat.

Because he was hung upside down, he could only look at Du Yusheng from bottom to top, which seemed to make him elongated. The casino owner felt that Du Yusheng looked like a mountain suppressing him.The name Du Yusheng has been heard of by casino owners before, but he has never seen him. He is a rich second generation with a lot of bad money. It is said that he never considers the consequences of doing things. Du Yusheng used to work at the grassroots level. I don’t know why, I was transferred, but in fact it was Gao Sheng who handled a few cases, and because of his family’s ability, he was in a solid position in the bureau. Of course, these are gossip, given by the official The news is that Du Yusheng came up step by step at the grassroots level.

"Let me ask again, what did Li Yao whisper in your ear that night?"

The hanged head of the casino boss was congested with blood, and the blood all over his body was rushing to one place, making it almost impossible for people to think.

"You fucking put me down." The boss scolded, "I can't remember anything when you're like this."

Du Yusheng hissed, squatted down dissatisfied, and was at eye level with the boss.

There was still a cigarette left in his pocket, so Du Yusheng took it out and lit it, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and held it between his fingertips.

"If you can't remember it, think about it again."

"I*."

Hearing the yelling and cursing of the casino owner, Du Yusheng unhurriedly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his colleagues in the bureau.In short, it was to ask a few people to go to the backyard of the underground casino and bring Luo Yang's mortgaged car back to the bureau for future use. The night was full of dreams, and Du Yusheng was afraid that something would happen again after the farewell.Before putting down the phone, he gave half a sentence of instructions, telling them that they only need the car and don't care about anything else.Du Yusheng didn't want to get involved in the depth of the water in the casino, and left the rest for the responsible team to clean up.My body is messed up enough now, I don't want to get into a mess again.

Du Yusheng put out the cigarette on the casino owner's beer belly.

Sniffing, he said, "Have you thought about what to say to me?"

"Put me down first." The boss's head was sweating unceasingly, forming a small puddle on the ground.

Du Yusheng was dissatisfied with his answer, so he turned on his phone and started playing Match [-].

This game was recommended by a former colleague. It kills time. It can not only activate your thinking, but also exercise your brain. Du Yusheng is also cheap. He just stands next to the boss's head and plays with the volume turned up to ensure that he can do every move he makes. See and hear.

When playing the second level, the boss couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can't I just say anything, you put me down. Please."

Du Yusheng raised his eyebrows, "Hey, are you convinced?" He smiled and said, "I thought you didn't like being soft."

Turning the person upside down 180 degrees, the boss feels much more comfortable than just now, at least now the head is on the top and the feet are on the bottom, and things are looking upright. It’s just that all the blood was supplied to the brain just now, and now the lower body is completely Sour.

Du Yusheng seemed to know how he felt, and kicked his thigh.

"What did Li Yao say?"

The boss sniffed, as if he had taken a lot of courage, and said, "He said, he told me to tell Zhuang Hao to find him."

"Zhuang Hao?" It's a long-standing name, Du Yusheng smiled, "Life is really big."

Sure enough, as I thought, Zhuang Hao didn't die at all.Du Yusheng scratched his head, if he is not dead, then whose body is at the scene of the crime.People are fake, but corpses are real.It's a pity that the corpse was burned too badly, and no valuable information could be obtained from it. However, since Zhuang Hao wanted to escape through this corpse, a large part of the dead ghost was one of his unlucky younger brothers, and it wouldn't matter if his identity was found progress.

"He wants to find Zhuang Hao, what's the matter?"

The boss shook his flesh, indicating that he didn't know.

"Then let me change the question." Du Yusheng said, "Who is Zhuang Hao?"

"...Don't you all know about this?" The boss said, "He is the electron in the circle..."

"Tsk. Tell me something I don't know."

Du Yusheng interrupted the boss, looked down at his dusty shoes, bent down and wiped them with his hands.

"I think there is one thing that is very strange." Du Yusheng raised his head to look at the boss's round face, and said with a smile, "Look, Li Yao wants to find Zhuang Hao, and I also want to talk to him. Because there are other people who want to find him, why are you looking for him all over the world? Why? Please explain to me."

Looking at Du Yusheng's face, the boss suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, and said, "...Then why did you find him?"

Du Yusheng kicked over and scolded: "I ask you or you ask me, what the hell are you talking about?"

This kick was so strong that it kicked the boss hard enough, and he couldn't stop coughing.For a moment, he didn't know where to start to ask this question. He lowered his head and looked at the fireworks that had been poked on his stomach. The casino owner suddenly wanted to smoke.

"Zhuang Hao used to follow Boss Jing, he was his confidant." The boss paused for a few seconds, and then said: "After Boss Jing died in an accident, Zhuang Hao spent a lot of effort to protect himself and retreat. Electronic business has started in the circle, eavesdropping, tracking, remote, monitoring, he does everything, you all know that.”

"I know Boss Jing. I think he was the all-powerful arms dealer back then." Du Yusheng stood on tiptoe and stepped on the steps beside him, nodded, "I heard that the casinos in your area used to be his property."

The boss smiled, and said: "When Boss Jing was most proud, he was good at buying casinos and doing his main business. Although I haven't met him, I heard that he is a good gambler, and he gambles on everything."

Du Yusheng touched his nose. He didn't know much about this arms dealer surnamed Jing.I heard that in the past, the wind and the rain were very beautiful, but he had no choice but to deal with both black and white, and the business grew bigger and bigger.However, he was later found dead in the freezer of his home. When the forensic examination was found, he had been dead for at least half a month due to freezing.Boss Jing has a lot of enemies, and it took a long time to go through the trial one by one. Those people were also very irritable, and they didn't ask anything. In the end, they could only suspend the case.

But it was the first time Du Yusheng knew about his love of gambling.

"What does he bet on?"

"He used to have two sons, but he lost one." The casino owner sighed, and said, "The other one... It is said that after he became an adult, he was thrown on an isolated island for a few years. To survive on a deserted island, the kid insisted on not letting go." I couldn’t survive, and drowned in the river. The two sons didn’t even have a photo.”

"What about now?" "Now?" The boss said with a wry smile, "The small place has been merged by others, like me, you've seen it too, lingering on the edge of life, and working day by day." Some are blocked.

Other people's lives may be worthless in the eyes of those desperadoes, or they may not be worth mentioning compared with their own lives, but Du Yusheng did not expect that even his own sons could be used as bets, and even their lives could be thrown away.Apart from sighing for the two children, it is more sad.Kind of don't know what to say.

Therefore, Boss Jing's untimely death must be said to be retribution.

Du Yusheng licked his lips and said, "Is this what Zhuang Hao told you?" The casino owner nodded, and continued: "Actually, there are people looking for Zhuang Hao every month, and he has many enemies in the circle. Electronic businessman, it is impossible for him to do those things without enmity, but he is smart enough, and he has a lot of tricks on those people, and no one dares to touch him. He is afraid and hates him, and he is considered chic by relying on those people Let's eat." The boss said here, and smiled, "But it's the first time I saw him so scared and wanted to hide, I don't know who he has offended."

"I don't know?" Du Yusheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I really don't know?"

"I really do not know."

Du Yusheng took a deep breath.It’s been a day or two since Zhuang Hao has had those people’s backs in his business, and he’s never been so scared. Now he’s suddenly scared and wants to hide, which can explain one thing, that is, the people who are looking for him are not from this circle. Zhuang Hao had no one he could hold and deal with.Obviously, Li Yao is one of them. I don't know why Du Yusheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.At least it shows that Li Yao is a normal person.

"What about Li Yao?" Du Yusheng said, "How do you know him?"

The boss has a fat body and has been falling from the rope. He has gradually changed from being a few centimeters off the ground to being able to support it on his toes.Du Yusheng saw it, but didn't move.

"I don't know him." The boss twisted his body, trying to make himself more comfortable. "It was the first time I saw him that day, and he was familiar. But he didn't look like a stubble, and his hands were black enough, so he almost fell. Somersaulting. Who the fuck are there?"

This remark made Du Yusheng unhappy, kicked him over, and said sharply, "Speak well to me."

"You just said that Li Yao asked Zhuang Hao to meet? When?"

The boss nodded, "Tomorrow night, at Li Yao's house." After thinking for a while, the boss added: "Don't ask me where Zhuang Hao is, I really don't know, after I conveyed the message, I never contacted him again." If you really want to find him, go to that Li Yao, I think you two know each other quite well, and he will help you out."

Well, isn't it? Help me get ahead.

I thought so too, but in the end, he took me along to find Zhuang Hao.

Du Yusheng felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he had thought for a long time that Li Yao was helping him out, he must have an impure purpose, but it was no more uncomfortable than the fact that it was in front of him.

Before leaving, Du Yusheng told the boss to stop doing this business and save his life to do something else.

According to what the casino owner said just now, Li Yao is not only looking for Zhuang Hao, it is very likely that the two of them have known each other for a long time.What Zhuang Hao did later was to spy on other people's privacy, maybe not for himself, but because Li Yao wanted to get other people's information through him.As for Zhuang Hao, it is very likely that he will be entangled by a powerful person, causing him to feign death. This powerful person also wants to get something from Zhuang Hao. Du Yusheng suddenly felt that maybe what Li Yao and that person wanted was same thing.

What made Zhuang Hao so afraid.

Zhuang Hao and Li Yao obviously knew each other. If they had known each other for a long time, Zhuang Hao would still be working under that arms dealer. Thinking about it this way, Du Yusheng felt that if his previous speculation was true, what Li Yao wanted would be very important. It may have something to do with the arms dealer.It would be much easier if the two met later.It is much easier to check the affairs of the living than the affairs of the dead.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to find Zhuang Hao and ask him to understand.

Du Yusheng felt that he was swimming in the middle of the hemp rope, being entangled and unable to get ashore at all.

Luo Yang's case is close to ten, and we will wait for the next few reports to be closed.Du Yusheng looked at his phone, but there was no message from the bureau yet.There are still some photos about the case in the phone, Du Yusheng flipped through it twice, and then saw the note that said the controlled experiment.

Speaking of Du Yusheng, Cha Zhuanghao was not only because of his relationship with Li Yao, but also because of the four words in this note.Du Yusheng had seen these four characters at another crime scene, and Zhuang Hao had appeared near this crime scene.

Du Yusheng was so engrossed in thinking that the car drove a long way before he felt cold, and sat in the car for a long time before realizing that he didn't even turn on the heater.

The temperature inside and outside the car is the same, no wonder it feels cold.

Turning on the heater in the car, Du Yusheng stopped the car at the entrance of the supermarket.

His hands and feet were so cold that he could hardly hold the steering wheel. Du Yusheng thought about going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of hot drink, or eat something to replenish his calories.

Then he saw a familiar person at the entrance of the supermarket.

Li Yao wore a dark coat tonight, with a light blue jacket inside, the neckline was wide open, and he didn't feel cold when the wind blew past, on the contrary, he was very coquettish.He held a bottle of mineral water in his hand, drank half of the bottle, and held the bottle cap in his hand. He seemed to have seen Du Yusheng a long time ago, watching others coming, followed him with his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, facing him laugh.

When Du Yusheng got closer, he realized that Li Yao was wearing a pair of glasses, and there were smiling eyes under the transparent glass lenses.

Du Yusheng was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Thirsty?" Li Yao shook the half bottle of water in his hand, tilting his head and asked him.

Du Yusheng was stunned.

This sentence is teasing if it is placed on others, but the words came from Li Yao's mouth. Du Yusheng frowned, feeling a little twisted, as if it shouldn't be heard from Li Yao's mouth.

"Are you thirsty?"

Li Yao asked again, this time, the smile on his lips was deeper.

What does that mean?Du Yusheng couldn't figure it out, he took a sip of the half bottle of water in his hand dully.The water moistened the throat. I don't know what kind of water it is. It's warm. After drinking it, my whole body feels warm.Du Yusheng threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can.

Li Yao still stood where he was, and said with a smile: "I'm here to see that you just turned on the heater on the car, forgot?" He laughed: "Is it still cold now?"

Du Yusheng quickly shook his head.

Li Yao didn't seem to be driving, standing on the side of the street and looking at the opposite street corner.Du Yusheng glanced at it. It is the most famous Japanese food store in Huandao. It claims to start queuing up 10 minutes after opening, until the ingredients are sold out all day.

Du Yu is not used to raw food, he thinks nothing is as delicious as regular food.

"Are you waiting?"

Li Yao nodded, still looking there, and took out a machine-printed note from his pocket.

Du Yusheng took a look, there are two people, and there are five tables ahead.

two people?don't be...

Du Yusheng smashed it and said, "You came with your friends?"

Li Yao laughed suddenly, put the note back into his pocket, and said, "There is no one in this shop."

Du Yusheng's face turned red.He regretted the sentence he asked, the purpose was too obvious.No grade.Fortunately, Li Yao didn't seem to be able to react, standing straight on the curb, watching the table on the sign over there change back and forth.

His ears are red and interesting, Li Yao seems to be very happy, with a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time.

"Have you eaten?" he asked.

Du Yusheng was stunned, "Huh?" After saying a few words, he nodded immediately, "I haven't eaten yet, I just got off work."

Li Yao shook the note in his hand, and said, "Which one to eat? Is Japanese food okay?"

"Go, go, go."

Not to mention the Japanese food that I don't like, I'm happy even if we drink plain water.

After getting the answer he was satisfied with, Li Yao nodded, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then sent it to a person whose initial letter was L. Although the background of the photo was very dark, he felt that the other party could clearly see all the details on it. who.

Soon, Li Yao at home received a message.

From an anonymous mobile number.

A picture with a few words.

'Brother, how about I exchange this for Zhuang Hao, do you want to exchange it? '

Immediately following the second picture, the sender made a yes sign, and the background was still the road.

Li Yao, who was in the bedroom, looked at this picture and cursed all the curse words he had learned in his life.

Before ordering food, Du Yusheng went to the bathroom.He still remembered Qin Yan's saying that the bloodshot eyes in his eyes scared the intern students, so he quickly dripped two drops of eye drops in the bathroom.He didn't close his eyes and didn't take a shower for a day and a half. Du Yusheng's overall appearance was not very good. Fortunately, he has a good foundation and a beautiful face, which is harmless, but maybe he hasn't changed a piece of clothes. Looking in the mirror, Du Yusheng feels a little dusty on his body gas.After he cut his hair, Du Yusheng's mind was buzzing. This was the first time Li Yao invited himself to dinner. This one was unexpected. Could it be that what he said that day that he was too indifferent to him had any effect?If I knew it earlier, I would have said it earlier.

Du Yusheng's mind was full of activities and he walked fast.

Jing Mo was looking at the menu in his hand.

He has been to this place many times, but because of Du Yusheng, he still pretends to flip through the menu back and forth.

"What do you want to eat?" Jing Mo smiled warmly, "Is there anything you want to eat in particular?"

No, it tastes the same in my mouth.

"I can do anything." Du Yusheng smiled and said, "I like everything about food."

Jing Mo nodded and smiled, looking up at the waiter over there and pointing at the picture in his hand.

There were two cups of poured boiled water on the table, still steaming. Du Yusheng took a sip and felt that his thumping heart had finally stabilized. He couldn't help but look up and down at the person across from him.Li Yao is a bit different today, to use a bad adjective is to be a bit coquettish, the neckline is wide open, and there is always an ambiguous smile on his face, his shoes are polished and his coat is casually thrown on the seat beside him , He wears jewelry on his wrist, made of metal, it's hard to see clearly, but it looks good.It's not at all the same as his usual old-fashioned manners.

And his speech is not as stable as he usually is, on the contrary, he is a little buoyant.

"It turns out that you are still nearsighted."

Jing Mo returned the menu to the waiter, took off his glasses and shook them in front of Du Yusheng.

"No prescription, just for decoration."

Except for the modification of the glasses, there are a pair of smiling eyes, without the transparent glass lens, which makes them look more real. Du Yusheng feels a little uncomfortable and chills.

"Doctor Li... is also working overtime today?"

Jing Mo, who was called Dr. Li, didn't realize at first that he was calling him. Seeing Du Yusheng's face waiting for his answer, he realized it belatedly, and handed him the hot water in his hand.

"Just out for dinner." Jing Mo said with a smile, "I really met you."

This sounds a bit twisted, as if it means waiting to meet you just to meet you.

Like the idiom, stay on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit.

"What about you?" Jing Mo said, "Working overtime?"

Du Yusheng nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

"Forget it."

The daily ingredients are all cold dishes, and the dishes are served quickly.

Du Yusheng looked at the things on the table that were steaming cold, and his stomach began to feel sour.I haven't slept for a day and a half, and I have some cold drinks. Is this going to kill me?

"I heard that Daheng Luo's case is almost over?"

"Yes." Du Yusheng nodded, took a sip of water, and smoothed down the mustard in his mouth.

Before he could swallow the water, he suddenly came to his senses, blinking and looking at Jing Mo.

"When did I say Daheng Luo's case is almost over?"

Obviously, the key evidence was only found this morning, and the police report has not yet been sent.

Du Yusheng looked at Jing Mo and said nothing, the latter sighed, shook his head, and said, "You forgot what you said."

Du Yusheng could swear that he never told anyone about this.

The person in front of him suddenly became a stranger.

Du Yusheng picked up the heat and took a sip.All the excitement in my heart just now was disturbed by this yin and yang words, and Li Yao's doubts in his heart were once again magnified.Du Yusheng didn't like this, just eat well, don't say these words to test.

Tentative?

Du Yusheng realized one thing. In the past, he used to test Li Yao by himself. Why is it suddenly the other way around today?

Jing Mo continued: "So the murderer is Luo Yang?"

"I said that too?"

Jing Mo smiled.

"Do you feel that sometimes those cases are like a script, and you are the protagonist of the script. Your direction, the direction of the story, and even the direction of the clues are all arranged by the screenwriter. You are responsible for the process, and the result , the screenwriter actually wrote it all."

Jing Mo unhurriedly took off his glasses and put them aside, watching the expression on Du Yusheng's face.

"It's not just a case." Du Yusheng replied, "Isn't life like this too?"

Jing Mo froze for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile.

He felt that what Du Yusheng said made a lot of sense.

His own life is a wonderful script, but Jing Mo doesn't like it, so he can only make himself the screenwriter of this script.

"You said you knew Zhuang Hao?"

Jing Mo put on his glasses again and asked, "Did I say that too?"

Du Yusheng nodded without changing his face, and returned the same way to him, saying: "You said it, but you also forgot."

Jing Mo smiled.

He didn't expect Du Yusheng to be a small animal with thorns.

It's really fun.

"Yes." Jing Mo nodded, "I know Zhuang Hao."

"Then do you know who Zhuang Hao is?"

"I don't know." Jing Mo shook his head indifferently.

This admission was straightforward, and Du Yusheng was speechless.

Find an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Du Yusheng turned on the tap and flushed his hands.

This meal was so boring, it was completely different from what I thought. After the meal, each of them was testing each other's purpose and background.The enthusiasm I had for eating with Li Yao just now was wiped out.

Du Yusheng looked at the man through the bathroom door.

It's obviously Li Yao, why did he feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable from the beginning to the end?

It's like a person is on the wrong channel.

Du Yusheng wiped his face in the mirror. He felt that he was not normal today. It was probably because he hadn't slept for a day and a half and he was holding his breath after talking with the casino owner.

After washing my face, I felt a lot more refreshed.

Jing Mo straightened up on his seat, and handed the poured hot water to Du Yusheng, who took a long gulp from the water glass.

After drinking this glass of water, Du Yusheng lost consciousness, and the last message in his eyes was Jing Mo's face, asking himself what's wrong.Du Yusheng really wanted to ask him something, but suddenly he seemed very tired, he didn't have the strength to speak, and he didn't have the strength to open his eyes, so he could only obey his will and fall into a deep sleep.

Li Yao heard the knock on the door after taking a shower.

Before he could wipe his wet hair with the towel in his hand, Li Yao looked at the door.

He could probably guess who it was.

Opening the drawer of the shoe cabinet in the entrance, Li Yao looked at the knife inside, held it in his hand, thought about it, put it back again, and closed the drawer.

With the hair still dripping, Li Yao opened the door.

It was a strange feeling, as if you opened the door and there was a mirror outside.Li Yao looked at the person who was exactly like him standing opposite him. He supported Du Yusheng, who was unconscious and drowsy, on his shoulder. Although Jing Mo was pressed by Du Yusheng's arm, he still tried his best to raise his head and smile.

"Brother." Jing Mo said: "Have you thought about it? Shall we change? I sent everyone here."
