"Grandpa, I really think there is something suspicious, and Ling Mo also thinks so." Xiao Lang said.

"Yes, it's not that simple." Ling Mo nodded.

In the chief officer's office of the night watchman organization, Fu Yuanman leaned slightly on the chair, opposite Ling Mo and Xiao Lang sat neatly dressed.

"But the police have closed the case." Fu Yuanman smiled and looked at the two young people in front of him, "And, from the report, the chain of evidence is very complete."

"Then... how was the police report written?" Xiao Lang asked.

Fu Yuanman still had a smile on his face, looked through the folders beside him, and said: "The police first need to analyze the motive. Cao Yun and Cao Gang depended on each other since childhood, and he did not hesitate to sell his body in exchange for Cao Gang's tuition. As a result, Cao Gang He was arrested and killed. Cao Yun even wanted to brutally kill two college students as witnesses. Why didn't he kill the 'Ghost Rider' who directly killed his younger brother? And this 'Ghost Rider' used extremely cruel 'castration' and burning Cao Gang was executed. I think this is tantamount to crushing Cao Yun's heart? By the way, do you think there is a problem with the case of Cao Yun killing two college students? She is a very cruel woman. Is it all right?"

"No problem." Xiao Lang nodded resolutely, "The case of killing a college student has been well-documented and beyond doubt; I also agree that Cao Yun killed without blinking an eye. I even suspect that Cao Yun, Cao Gang's aunt and uncle, She was poisoned and killed by Cao Yun. It is precisely because of her experience in killing that she has no scruples in committing crimes."

"That's good." Fu Yuanman said, "Motive is the beginning of all crimes. But just having a motive can only be suspicion, but the police believe that this motive has been confirmed by a lot of evidence. For example, through video tracking, it can be determined that it is Cao Yun was in the car involved in the accident and caused the accident; the two drivers of the black car also confirmed that it was Cao Yun who planned the accident by identifying the photos."

"I also agree with this." Ling Mo nodded.

"According to the surveillance video, after Cao Yun entered the hospital by car, he disappeared." Fu Yuanman said, "Within 5 minutes, 'Ghost Rider' was killed. From the scene where 'Ghost Rider' was killed, you extract There is a triangular needle eye and a trace of a sebaceous gland. Through DNA testing, it can be confirmed that the person who left this trace evidence next to the needle eye is Cao Yun who killed two college students before."

"Hmm." Xiao Lang said, "Although the hospital surveillance can't clearly see the murderer's appearance and figure, judging from the murderer's eyebrows and eyes, it is Cao Yun. Moreover, the knitted fabric that Ling Mo found in the dressing room was replaced by the murderer. The coat is the one Cao Yun is wearing shown in the surveillance video, and this coat has also been identified by two black car drivers."

"Yes, this is also one of the important pieces of evidence." Fu Yuanman said, "At the scene where you killed Cao Yun, you found a large number of photos in the hospital, and found the same syringe with a triangular needle as the scene of the crime. No matter from Motivation analysis, video evidence, DNA evidence, and other physical evidence, or from the personnel’s confession, this case can completely form a complete chain of evidence. Moreover, as far as I know, Cao Yun seemed to use words to Plead guilty."

"The real thinking begins here." Ling Mo said slowly, "Xiao Lang, do you still remember what she said?"

"Those two people are damned! Don't kill me! I haven't received the news, or I will die with you!" Xiao Lang imitated Cao Yun's tone and said.

"Well, word for word." Ling Mo said, "There are two pieces of information in what she said. First, she only killed two people, those two college students, not three; second, She seemed to be waiting for some news."

"Well, go ahead." Fu Yuanman did not show a shocked expression, but still smiled.

"That's right." Xiao Lang said, "It wasn't until I heard Cao Yun's words that I was basically sure that there was something wrong with this matter. In fact, the earliest suspicious point was when Ling Mo told me Cao Yun's walking route in the hospital There is a problem. She started from the parking lot, ran all the way to the employee passageway, went up to the second floor, changed clothes, got a pass, and then entered the ICU, completed a series of machine circuit wiring, injected the 'Ghost Rider' to death, and then escaped. The process took only five minutes and it was almost impossible. Even someone who is very familiar with the dressing room and where the pass is placed, it is very difficult to complete."

"From the photos, she should have investigated the hospital during the day and even conducted a drill, so she is familiar with the road?" Fu Yuanman said.

Ling Mo nodded and said, "Actually, this is just one of the doubtful points. If the many evidences you mentioned just now are the main evidence to prove Cao Yun's murder, then each of these evidences is suspicious."

"I would like to hear the details." Fu Yuanman said.

Xiao Lang snapped his fingers, and hurriedly said: "I know these doubts too! Let's start with the physical evidence. The two key physical evidences we have in this case are the knitted jacket, the triangular needle eye, and the DNA evidence near the needle eye. Let's talk about it first. The knitted jacket itself is full of doubts. When we retrieved the knitted jacket, we immediately sent the jacket to my mother for DNA testing. We know that on the jacket that people often wear, it is very likely that The wearer's DNA was found on the collar or cuffs. But my mother said that there is definitely no evidence of DNA on the clothes. Either the clothes have just been washed, or they are new."

"That's right, the wearing time is not long, it can be explained completely." Fu Yuanman said.

"However, if Cao Yun wore this suit and ran for dozens of kilometers, the probability of not leaving any DNA is really very small. Of course, this is only part of the doubt." Ling Mo added, "I went to the hospital to check the locker room and The structure of the internal staff passage, the passage and the locker room are connected, very smooth. Since the escape route of the murderer is obviously also through the internal staff passage, because there is no surveillance here, then why did she forget about it when she planned the assassination carefully? The key coat? She can change into the coat and leave, or leave with the coat, why leave the key evidence for the police to compare the images? Also, it is early winter, the weather has turned cold, and this knitted coat is not loose Why does the murderer have to take off his coat and change into a nurse's uniform instead of wearing the nurse's uniform outside? I see that many nurses in the hospital put their nurse's uniform on the outside, unless they are wearing a coat or windbreaker Like, there will be a dressing process."

"Well, this point of view is very interesting." Fu Yuanman said with a smile, touching the stubble on his chin.

"There is also the triangular needle eye." Xiao Lang continued, "There is no doubt about the needle hole itself. It is very likely that criminals bought something characteristic by accident. It is not inevitable. However, the location of this needle eye It's very strange. We know that 'Ghost Rider' was lying in the ICU at that time. For the convenience of infusion, the nurse opened the intravenous access for him[11] and left a multi-headed indwelling needle[12]. One end of the indwelling needle is a sponge, that is, It is said that as long as the poisonous needle is pricked on the indwelling needle and the sponge retracts, there will be no traces of injection at all. However, the murderer pricked the needle on the most conspicuous hanging pot, and the needle hole is special, so it can Isn’t it stupid to accept it as evidence?”

"You mean that the murderer was afraid that the police would not find the pinhole, so he deliberately left evidence?" Fu Yuanman asked, "What about the contact marks near the pinhole?"

"This..." Xiao Lang was at a loss for words.

Ling Mo took up the topic and said: "The DNA evidence left behind is even more strange. I asked Cheng Zimo to read it, but later I was worried. After Brother Nie came out of the confinement room, I asked him to read it again. The conclusion is the same: this piece of DNA evidence has no traces of striae. In other words, it doesn’t look like it was left over from contact with human skin. Then we have to consider whether someone deliberately put Cao Yun What about the DNA evidence that was put on it? After all, this is just a trace of contact, not a fingerprint that is difficult to transfer."

"Oh, although the ingredients in the needle tube are small, they are still relatively complicated." Xiao Lang said, "Brother Nie and the city bureau are currently inspecting."

"There is still a confession." Ling Mo said.

Xiao Lang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is still a confession. According to the two black car drivers, Cao Yun gave them 5 yuan, right? This is strange. If I remember correctly, the police had previously When Cao Yun conducted the investigation, it was determined that the money she earned was used for her younger brother’s education on the one hand, and on the other hand was stored in an account under his brother’s name. After Cao Yun killed two college students, the police froze the funds. Then , Where did Cao Yun get his money from?"

"Maybe not all of them are under Cao Gang's name?" Fu Yuanman said.

Ling Mo nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed a possibility. However, the police conducted a comprehensive investigation into Cao Yun's financial situation in the early stage, and did not find that she has other accounts. And this income is inherently unstable. People, would they have such a large sum of money lying around without knowing it? This is not normal."

"This is barely a doubt." Fu Yuanman said.

"This doubt is not forced, okay, grandpa!" Xiao Lang said, "Then look at the time of the arrest. During the arrest, we found many photos of the hospital in Cao Yun's home. It seems that she After conducting an in-depth investigation, you will be so familiar with the road. This is logically reasonable. But, grandpa, do you know? In order to find Cao Yun through surveillance, we even invited Cheng Zimo’s sister to find some odds and ends. Screenshots and clues. If Cao Yun came to the hospital to step on the spot before, why didn’t we get more images? If there was no step on the spot, why are there photos?”

"Could it be that she paid someone to visit the site?" Fu Yuanman said.

"Well, you have to say that this is barely a doubt." Xiao Lang said, "However, these photos of Ling Mo rescued from the fire in Cao Yun's house, after Nie's judgment, there is no fingerprint found on them. Do you think a murderer wears gloves when he's at home studying the course of a crime?"

"You mean, it was put on by someone wearing gloves to set the blame?" Fu Yuanman's eyes widened slightly.

Ling Mo agreed: "It's very possible. In addition, Cao Yun's home actually has a 'gravity bomb'. This is a device with a very complicated structure. Do you think that a woman who dropped out of junior high school might have such a skill? ?"

"Maybe after training later?"

"Okay, even after training in the later stage, the design of her bomb is very unreasonable." Xiao Lang said, "Once the load-bearing plate in the aisle bears more than 60 kilograms of gravity, it will activate the connected electronic device. The electronic device will send an electric current to the closet in the bedroom. There are several plastic barrels filled with gasoline covered under the quilt in the closet. Once heated by the current, it will explode and ignite the quilt, resulting in The fire in the whole bedroom. There are also oil drums hidden in other parts of the bedroom, and then there will be a secondary explosion. But these destructive devices did not involve the aisle and the doorway. It’s not to hurt the police. When we broke the door, Cao Yun was hiding in the first explosion point—in the closet. That is to say, as soon as we stepped into the aisle, she would be burned to death immediately. This type of device, if If you look at it together with Cao Yun's plan to kill Zimo, and Cao Yun's unwillingness to die, isn't it very contradictory?"

"A person who doesn't seem to want to die now has created a suicide and self-destruct device." Fu Yuanman rolled the document in his hand into a paper tube and pressed it against his chin and said, "Listen to your analysis, There is indeed a problem."

"I think this device is set up to let Cao Yun die while destroying all the physical evidence in the house." Seeing that Fu Yuanman seemed to be persuaded, Xiao Lang immediately got excited, "Speaking of whether Cao Yun has professional knowledge, I will tell you One more thing to add. One of the key steps in killing 'Ghost Rider' is to connect a false signal to the life monitor, I don't even know how to do this, Cao Yun can?"

"There are too many things you don't know." Fu Yuanman patted Xiao Lang's head with the paper tube in his hand.

"The points that Xiao Lang said are very important. Now it seems that every piece of evidence established by the police is not so reliable." Ling Mo said, "Moreover, there are many doubtful points in the whole case from a macro perspective."

"Oh? Macro?" Fu Yuanman's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation, "You tell me how to judge from the macro."

"Generally speaking, the most suspicious point of this case is actually..." Ling Mo deliberately paused, "On the whole, the murderer has carefully planned, knows the specific situation of the hospital, and knows that there will definitely be overloaded tricycles at specific locations. , Well-prepared in advance, and the transformation of our home is also very advanced, all of these may be to avoid the police's pursuit. However, we did not spend much effort to lock her, and we did not spend much effort to find her. Well-planned and easy to uncover, it’s not that our enemies are stupid, it’s probably a smokescreen.”

"Very good, you continue." Fu Yuanman flattened the document again.

"And then there's our previous inference." Ling Mo said, "At first we thought that there were many people who assisted the murderer in killing 'Ghost Rider', which meant that there was a mysterious organization behind the murderer that we didn't know. But after solving the case, We found that so many people were simply used and bought by money, and there is no so-called mysterious organization."

"The police are also sure of that." Fu Yuanman said, "There is no so-called organization, but Cao Yun's personal behavior, which is a series of criminal acts committed by her to avenge her personal revenge."

"Okay, since there is no organization, then who cooperated with the 'Ghost Rider' to hit the outer wall of the detention center with a large truck? And who went to the outer mouth of the sewer of the detention center and opened the protective fence from the outside?" Xiao Lang dug out the old accounts and asked. road.

"It might just be that there is an organization behind 'Ghost Rider'." Fu Yuanman said, "but Cao Yun doesn't."

"Things must not be that simple, because we must not forget that in the palm of 'Ghost Rider' is holding a note with the words 'Night Watch'." Ling Mo said, "I don't know that the Night Watch organization and 'Ghost Rider' It doesn't matter, but at least it shows that the person who killed the 'Ghost Knight' is inextricably linked to the Night Watch organization. If Cao Yun is identified as the murderer, then if Cao Yun has no organization, how can he be inextricably linked to our organization? A thread of contact?"

"That's right." Xiao Lang interjected, "If the murderer is Cao Yun, then the behavior of stuffing the note in the palm of 'Ghost Rider' is simply incomprehensible!"

"Okay, since it's rare for you two to agree so much, now you have a bold analysis, what do you think the real process of committing the crime looks like?" Fu Yuanman said.

Ling Mo looked at Xiao Lang, and Xiao Lang said unceremoniously first: "I think there is someone else who killed the 'ghost knight', and there may be an organization behind this person, and this organization may also be the one who sent people The organization that helped the 'Ghost Rider' escape from prison is also the organization that left a note to provoke our night watchmen. However, why this organization executes the 'Ghost Rider', I can't figure it out now. This person planned to kill the 'Ghost Rider' from the very beginning ', I have already planned to draw the police's attention to the fugitive suspect Cao Yun, because Cao Yun has a realistic motive to kill the 'Ghost Rider'. They are equipped with two identical clothes, ready to Cao Yun bought a large amount of cash and asked Cao Yun to wear this dress to hire a black car to hit the tricycle, and then waited for an opportunity to cause chaos in the hospital. After the car arrived at the hospital, Cao Yun got out of the car not to kill, but to flee directly. In the ICU on the second floor of the hospital In fact, the murderer had already changed his clothes, put the unworn knitted jacket in the dressing room, and even got a pass, just waiting for the chaos to happen. This can explain the doubts about the clothes and time."

"Hmm." Fu Yuanman gradually put away his smile.

Xiao Lang went on to say: "After entering the ICU, the murderer expertly connected the wires, left a needle hole for injecting poison in the most conspicuous place, and touched the carrier stained with Cao Yun's DNA to the hanging pot to make the evidence solid. At the same time, another group of people went to Cao Yun's residence to carry out renovations, and set up gasoline barrels that could destroy the scene and kill Cao Yun. As long as the police entered the scene, Cao Yun would be buried in the sea of ​​fire soon. The feeling of suicide. Because the fire is detonated in stages, the police are likely to notice the photos and syringes before the fire completely engulfs the scene. If there are brave policemen, such as me, who can obtain these evidences, it will be more realistic Even if the evidence is not rescued, the existing evidence is enough to convict Cao Yun. Of course, when Cao Yun fled, someone in this organization gave her a long gun and pointed at a A surveillance video recorded the route of the back and let her go home. Well, maybe, and told her to wait at home for some good news that she was looking forward to. If I were the murderer, I would kill the 'Ghost Rider' with Therefore, the information that Cao Yun said she was waiting for before his death was naturally the information that the 'Ghost Rider' was successfully killed. But this organization obviously did not intend to let her know this information, because Cao Yun was just a pawn .”

"Since Cao Yun himself has the wish to kill the 'Ghost Rider', why not let Cao Yun kill the 'Ghost Rider' directly, instead of putting the blame on Cao Yun in such a troublesome way?" Fu Yuanman asked.

"Because of our night watchmen and the tight guard of the police, with Cao Yun's ability, we simply don't have the conditions to kill the 'Ghost Rider' and escape unscathed." Ling Mo said, "After all, everything about Cao Gang's death and the 'Ghost Rider' All the clues and information were disclosed to Cao Yun by this mysterious organization, of course they can’t let Cao Yun enter the Public Security Bureau alive.”

"Very good." Fu Yuanman nodded in satisfaction, "One last question. Since the organization you mentioned helped 'Ghost Rider' escape from prison, why did you kill him?"

"Because 'Ghost Rider' came into our hands, this organization doesn't want to be exposed. Even if they know that they are lucky to be shot in the neck and survive to become a vegetative state, they must not take this risk." Xiao Lang said.

"Since you don't want to be exposed, and you don't want to confront us night watchmen or the police," Fu Yuanman smiled slyly, "then why did you leave a note with the words 'night watchman'? Also, the murderer's face, eyebrows, and eyes were captured by the surveillance in the ICU of the hospital." , it looks like Cao Yun, if the real murderer and the scapegoat Cao Yun with the motive of committing the crime look very similar, isn’t it too coincidental?”

Xiao Lang and Ling Mo didn't think about how to answer Fu Yuanman's question, so they fell into silence for a while.But they know that only this kind of inference can connect all the existing data, and it is the most scientific and well-founded inference.Although they don't know the purpose of this mysterious organization and its relationship with the Night's Watch, they secretly affirm that in the coming time, they will try their best to dig out this mysterious organization.Although the "Ghost Rider" case has been closed, the police do not have any more evidence to prove the existence of this mysterious organization. After all, the "Ghost Rider" may also use money to bribe others to assist in the escape, but Xiao Lang and Ling Mo believe that relying on them Team members, we must be able to solve this mystery.

Fu Yuanman did not force them to answer this question, and even encouraged them to conduct related investigations while completing daily tasks, which made them very excited.Because they knew that Fu Yuanman was a shrewd person, and it was precisely because he agreed with their views that he acquiesced in their actions.

After being excited, Xiao Lang had no idea about the next step.

However, from Ling Mo's point of view, the key to digging out this mysterious organization now has a very important thread.

Just now, the two had talked at length for nearly an hour, and now Ling Mo suddenly returned to his indifferent face.He turned to look at Xiao Lang, and said, "You, can you avoid it for a while?"

"Back...to avoid?" Xiao Lang was a little surprised, "Why do you want to avoid? What are you hiding from me? Oh, I see! You're suspecting my brother is a ghost again, aren't you?"

"Since you guessed it, there's no need to avoid it." Ling Mo turned to look into Fu Yuanman's eyes.

After Fu Yuanman and Ling Mo looked at each other for ten seconds, they suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, what basis do you have this time?"

"I don't need evidence this time." Ling Mo said, "I have disappeared for several months, I have occasional contacts, and the secrets in the organization are constantly leaked. Based on my intuitive judgment, Xiao Wang is suspicious."

Xiao Lang gritted his teeth and raised his fist, saying: "Is there going to be another fight?"

"It's not because I'm their grandfather." Fu Yuanman laughed and said, "I guarantee with my personality that Xiao Wang is not an inner ghost. But through the performance of the two of you this time, I believe in Xiao Wang as much as I do." Trust you two."

"Huh?" Xiao Lang rushed up and grabbed Fu Yuanman's sleeve, and said, "Does grandpa know my brother's whereabouts? Doesn't he?"

Fu Yuanman stared at the two young men in front of him for a long time, as if he had made a decision, he gently pushed Xiao Lang's hand away, and said, "I can only tell you that Xiao Wang is safe now and is performing a secret mission. Well, the secret level is the highest."

"I knew it!" Xiao Lang snapped his fingers fiercely.

Ling Mo's face was gloomy, and after a while, he said, "Okay, that's because I was paranoid."

"There are a lot of things, don't be anxious, there will always be times when the truth comes out." Fu Yuanman stood up, walked to Ling Mo's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think so much now. Night watchmen have night watchmen." Responsibilities, tasks and rules of conduct, you will know slowly. It's getting late, we should have a meeting!"

Ling Mo and Xiao Lang nodded and went out. With a smile on his face, Fu Yuanman unfolded the document that had just been rolled into a paper tube and placed it on the table.

This is a general report on the "serial baby theft cases in Nan'an City", which Xiao Wang concluded a few months ago.Whereas the original report was followed by basic information on all the missing babies, now only one of the stolen babies is attached.The photos of the baby's life in the material are enlarged several times, and the picture focuses on his left ear.This is a baby with congenital atrophy of the ears. His left ear is only one-third the size of the right ear, and the rest is like a U-shaped lump hanging on the left side of the head.

At the end of the report, two photos are attached.The background of one of the photos is the square of Shenyang North Railway Station. On the square, there is the back of a man wearing a baseball cap. Although the eyebrows cannot be seen clearly, the left side of the man's head can be vaguely seen, which is not like the right side. There are normal ear contours.The next photo is a zoomed-in close-up of the man's head.It can be seen from this photo that his left ear has shrunk into a U-shaped lump.In the photo, the man's left ear was circled with a red pen, and the words "open ear" were written beside it.

The font of these three characters, and the overall report "Can I report to the provincial department and the Ministry of Public Security to set up an action team to deal with extraordinarily large, difficult, and secret-related cases? Integrating elite talents and police resources into one, working efficiently, both It can save police force, and it can also overcome difficulties." The font of this sentence is exactly the same, and it was written by Xiao Wang.

After three months of screening, the eleven remaining students sat neatly in the first row of the large meeting room organized by the Night Watchers.Before the meeting, the trainees were called into the locker room of the organization. In everyone's locker, there was a neat set of 99 spring and autumn police uniforms.Everyone has different police ranks according to their seniority.In addition, there is a black hexagonal badge in each cabinet, and the three golden characters of "Night Watcher" are written in the center of the badge.

The eleven people in police uniforms knew that they had been recruited by the Night's Watch, and they were all full of energy and fighting spirit.

After a while, the small door behind the podium opened, and Fu Yuanman, who was still wearing the uniform of the second-level police inspector, walked out.

Fu Yuanman walked up to the podium, holding a stack of file bags, his gaze was like a torch.

"I believe," Fu Yuanman said, "you will be the pride of the Night Watch."

"The Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very cautious. Before hiring you, it conducted a full investigation on you and reviewed your training results in the first three months of the Night Watch." Fu Yuanman said, "I hope you all Cherish your time with the Night's Watch and earnestly complete the tasks assigned by the organization."

"Resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the organization, and protect the lights of thousands of families on Christmas Eve." Although the voice was not very neat, it was very loud.

Fu Yuanman waved his hand to let everyone sit down again, and said: "Let me reiterate the structure of the Night Watcher organization. The number of our organization will continue to grow, but in general, everyone is divided into planners, wind catchers, and mind readers according to their specialties." , Ambusher, Tracker and Seeker six professional types. The first four professional types form the hunting team of the Night Watcher organization; the latter two professional types form the Sky Eye team of the Night Watcher organization. Currently, our organization is open to the public and Ordinary police officers keep secret and only perform special tasks. These special tasks mainly refer to participating in the detection of current extraordinarily large, difficult, and widely socially influential cases, or solving the backlog of unsolved cases according to the requirements of the organization. Of course, in the future, will our organization have more The new positioning, which needs to be weighed by the superiors. After performing specific tasks, we will send you to the most basic sections, institutes, and teams of the Public Security Bureau to work. When the organization needs it, we will issue a temporary transfer order and transfer you back to the organize."

Fu Yuanman's tone was firm and powerful, which made the eleven people in the audience excited.

Fu Yuanman went on to say: "Our organization is a subsidiary of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. All of you here are police elites and ordinary police officers. We must restrain ourselves with police discipline at any time, because you represent our sacred organization; At the same time, our Night Watcher organization also has higher requirements and standards, which are written in the "Night Watcher Organization Discipline" and distributed to everyone, please study carefully. Now, we have two things to do."

Hearing that they were not directly assigned to departments, institutes, or teams, but had other tasks, everyone's emotions became even higher.

"The first thing is that we are specially approved to enter the Night Watcher organization, but the special approval is not exempt from the test." Fu Yuanman said, "In the next time, we will conduct a surprise assessment for everyone. The assessment has only two purposes. First, to see whether you have the conditions to stay in the Night Watch organization; second, we need to determine your job majors based on your specialties. Of course, determining your majors will also combine your wishes."

As soon as he heard that there was an exam, Xiao Lang immediately lowered his head.

"The second thing is also very important." Fu Yuanman suddenly raised his voice, "Everyone stand up."

The well-trained eleven students stood up in unison.

The large LED screen on the podium suddenly lit up, and a shiny golden police badge appeared.

"Now, please raise your right fists and join me in taking the police oath." Fu Yuanman said.

The members raised their right fists one after another and placed them next to their temples.

"I swear: I will volunteer to become the People's Police of the People's Republic of China, dedicate myself to the noble cause of people's public security, resolutely be loyal to the party, serve the people, enforce the law fairly, and be disciplined. Defenders, work hard to maintain overall social stability, promote social fairness and justice, and ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Although there were only a dozen or so voices, they were exceptionally loud and firm, echoing for a long time in the large meeting room of the Night Watchers.

With his back to the 11 people, Fu Yuanman did not turn around for a long time after he finished his oath. He took the opportunity of lowering his right fist, secretly wiped the corner of his eyes with his cuff, and ordered with his back to the members: "Take a rest for 10 minutes, everyone!" Gather at the gate of the sand table and disband."

Eleven people walked out of the conference room one after another, their cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Xiao Lang, tell me that we have all become official members of the Night Watch. Where has Brother Wang been for so long? Can Brother Wang return to the organization?" Looking at the other excited members, Tang Dangdang was a little depressed.

Xiao Lang smiled comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "Dangdang, I can only assure you now that my brother is safe, and one day, he will stand with us and fight!" , the promise at this time seemed so solemn, although Tang Dangdang didn't know what information he got, but he felt a little relieved.She raised her head and asked Xiao Lang: "What about you? It's been three months, are you planning to stay in the Night's Watch?"

Xiao Lang was taken aback.He didn't know what was wrong with him. As a person who had been determined not to be a policeman for more than ten years, he actually took the lead in solving the case this time, and happily put on a well-fitting uniform. The oath was recited.He would have been happier if he hadn't heard that the exam was coming soon.

I made an oath, so can't I back down?Tang Dangdang's question brought Xiao Lang back to reality, he patted the back of his head in embarrassment, and said: "Temporary, temporary, it's because my brother didn't come back, how can no one take care of you?"

"Hey." Tang Dangdang smiled and said, "I really hope to see brother Wang now. It's been a long time since I haven't seen him. I almost don't remember what he looks like."

"Hey, look at me twice more, and then imagine, it's my brother." Xiao Lang said with a straight face.

"Don't be poor, pass the assessment first." Tang Dangdang said, "If you fail the assessment, you have to take off your uniform."

The Police Gym of the Night's Watch stands at the other end of the training ground, behind the Tactical Gym where members used to practice tactics.From the appearance point of view, the outer wall of the police gymnasium is older than the tactical training hall, but the floor area is more than twice as large as the tactical training hall.

Before that, because the gate was locked for a long time, for the members of the Night Watch organization, this police gymnasium was a mysterious existence.

When the gate of the police gymnasium was opened, the members knew that the police gymnasium had also been meticulously renovated in the past three months, with all the facilities inside.

The police gymnasium is like a huge factory building with a frame structure. There are some small compartments like lounges, tea break rooms, monitoring rooms, assessment rooms, computer rooms and warehouses along the surrounding walls. However, its main structure It is still an open area of ​​more than [-] square meters in the center.Such a large indoor space can not only accommodate students to train in any weather, but also give the training a certain degree of privacy.

The roof of the police gymnasium is about ten meters high, and there are slide rails with complex structure on the roof, and electric lifting equipment is carried on the slide rails.Through computer programming, these lifting equipment can be manipulated to quickly build a virtual external environment for members to use for training.Not only that, this set of equipment can even build a virtual site according to the specific site environment within an hour and use it as a sand table.

So Fu Yuanman called this police gymnasium a "big sand table".

At this time, some wood, steel and other things were piled up on the ground of the large sand table, and the lifting equipment was busy working.The eleven members lined up and were directly led by Fu Yuanman into the lounge on one side.

"It's all high-tech now, and I don't understand these things, so I invited Professor Tang Jun to explain the use of the equipment to you." After Fu Yuanman finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to Tang Jun behind him.

After Tang Jun nodded, he walked to the front of the team, holding a pair of equipment similar to diving glasses in one hand, and a vest covered with wires in the other.

"This is the equipment we must wear to use the big sand table." Tang Jun said, "Please come up, Abu, and I will give you a demonstration."

Abu is a member who is good at painting among the eleven members of the Night Watch organization. In the previous detection of the murder case of "Ghost Rider", he used a brush to draw Cao Yun's appearance vividly based on the surveillance video, which also made Xiao Lang and others When people saw Cao Yun for the first time, they confirmed her identity.

Abu is a thin and thin boy. Because of this, it would be much easier for the tall Tang Jun to try on the equipment on him. If it was for Xiao Lang to try it on, Tang Jun would have to stand on tiptoe.

"First of all, after we put on the vest, we need to attach the metal patch on the collar of the vest to the position corresponding to the skin of the carotid artery." Tang Jun said, "This metal patch will record all your body indicators and indexes during the whole training process. It will be transmitted back to our system in real time. In addition, the red button on the waist of the vest should also be turned on. Turning on the red button means that this system will record your entire training process in three dimensions."

Tang Jun put on the glasses for Abu, and said: "After putting on the glasses, you need to insert the free wire socket into the socket of the receiver on the vest, so that the glasses and the vest will be connected. Our command center will issue a message to the receiver on the vest. The information in the glasses will show a scene different from the reality. Combined with the virtual sand table we built, the process of virtual reproduction of the scene is completed. You need to wear this set of equipment to complete your work in the virtual scene. things that should be done."

Abu, wearing glasses, looks like a frogman.Perhaps because of the limited light transmittance of the glasses, Abu kept moving his head to adjust the angle, hoping to see the expressions of the opposite members.

"Now, let's try it." After Tang Jun finished speaking, he clicked a certain place on the computer screen with the mouse.

"Oh, I'm going!" Abu yelled immediately.

"Look, his vital signs are fluctuating. His heart rate and blood pressure have increased, and his adrenaline has suddenly soared." Tang Jun pointed to a map on the computer, in which the curves of various colors are constantly changing. Change and cross.

"Ah, what is this! I am most afraid of wasps! Can you stop for a while? Stop for a while!" Abu waved his hands in front of his eyes, as if trying to drive something away.

The members couldn't help laughing when they saw Abu's antics.

"Is it really so realistic?" Tang Dangdang looked embarrassed, "Does everyone have to test?"

Hearing what Tang Dangdang said, Xiao Lang immediately calmed down from the state of leaning forward and backward, pretended to be a big brother, patted Tang Dangdang on the shoulder, and said: "It's really ridiculous, isn't this just VR glasses? You Have you never played VR games? What’s so strange about this? It’s nothing to be afraid of, okay!”

Tang Jun obviously heard Xiao Lang's words from the laughter, he clicked to stop the "torture" of A Bu, and said: "Xiao Lang is right, this is the first and second research institute of the Ministry of Public Security based on the existing VR Technology, jointly developed the 'police simulation sand table system'. However, this system is more than one grade higher than ordinary VR games in terms of maneuverability, fidelity, and practicality. Wait for the scene in a while After the construction is completed, we can carry the equipment out of this room, and the unfamiliarity with the virtual scene can make the training more effective."

"So, who will come first?" Tang Jun smiled and raised the equipment in his hand.

"I'll come first, I'll come first. You said it was this kind of exam! It made me a false alarm!" Xiao Lang was the first to rush forward, snatching the equipment from Tang Jun's hand.Then, he looked at Tang Dangdang who was shrinking behind the line, and said, "By the way, do we have to enter one by one?"

"That's not necessary, you can combine freely." Fu Yuanman said with a smile, "It mainly depends on whether your first reaction after entering the scene is the reaction that an excellent investigator should have."

"Then I'll be with Dangdang." Xiao Lang walked into the team, grabbed Dangdang's hand, and raised them together.

"Then let me come along." Ling Mo raised his hand.

"Hey hey hey, why are you just making fun of it?" Xiao Lang pulled Ling Mo's raised hand and whispered to him, "You next batch, next batch, do you understand the world of two people?"

Tang Dangdang heard the conversation between Xiao Lang and Ling Mo, and gave Xiao Lang a blank look, but did not raise any objection.

Ling Mo took a step back helplessly.

Xiao Lang first helped Tang Dangdang put on the equipment and glasses, then quickly equipped himself, and led Tang Dangdang to the entrance of the sand table.

"Ready, grandpa, ah, no, team leader." Xiao Lang said loudly.

The door to the sand table entrance is still tightly closed.Xiao Lang glanced at Tang Dangdang, the VR glasses had not been activated at this time, under normal perspective, Xiao Lang saw that Tang Dangdang was so tense that his body was a little stiff, so he laughed and said: "Miss, I am by your side, and This is all a game, what are you afraid of?"

Tang Dangdang coughed lightly, and said, "Whoever said I'm scared, you're the only one who's scared."

Immediately, Tang Dangdang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Get ready, team leader."

With a muffled crash, the door at the entrance of the sand table opened.

Suddenly, two strong lights lit up on both sides of their VR glasses, illuminating the entrance passageway.At the same time, the lenses of the VR glasses also began to reflect images, and Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang knew that the test had begun.What they didn't expect was that the images projected by the VR glasses were so realistic that they instantly felt like they were there.

The site is a highway, and there are not high hillsides on both sides of the highway. Obviously, this is a highway repaired from the mountain, and its location is exactly the throat of the hill.

It was pouring rain at the scene, and from the swaying of the small trees on both sides of the road, it can be seen that the wind is not small.However, Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang were in a "God's perspective" at this time, and did not directly feel the raindrops and strong wind.

The image of the highway in front of them was dim, apparently taken at night.Except for the white isolation line on the road that can still be seen clearly, only a shadow can be seen on the isolation piles on both sides of the road.There were no vehicles on the road, but whining sounds could be heard, as if evil spirits were crying; the small trees on the side of the road kept swaying, as if a group of demons were dancing.

After more than ten seconds like this, the humming sound at the scene became clearer, and Tang Dangdang unconsciously approached Xiao Lang in fright.Confused Xiao Lang was observing the situation ahead, and felt Tang Dangdang approaching, so he put his arm around her shoulder and patted her lightly.

After more than ten seconds, the road surface suddenly began to light up, the reflector lights on the isolation piles on both sides of the road also glowed a faint orange, and the isolation white lines became clearer.

"A car is coming." Xiao Lang tensed up all his muscles, and said, "However, our perspective is in the sky, so don't we need to avoid it?"

As soon as the words fell, a yellow Costa van appeared in the field of vision, driving forward, mixed with the sound of tire noise and splashing water.When the car passed by, the roadside scene was temporarily illuminated.

"What does this mean?" Xiao Lang adjusted his VR glasses, with a puzzled expression on his face.

When the vehicle reached the upper edge of the field of vision, it suddenly turned sharply. Because of the high center of gravity, the vehicle deviated violently to the right and rolled over during the deviation.After the car landed on its side, sparks formed by friction with the ground splashed everywhere.Due to inertia, the vehicle slid on one side and rushed towards the isolation pile on the right.Soon, the front of the car hit the isolation pile and broke the isolation pile abruptly. The vehicle rushed out of the isolation pile and disappeared from the field of vision.

"Did you see that the front window of the car was lit up just now?" Xiao Lang pointed to his eyes and jumped.

"No, what lit up?" Tang Dangdang felt a little helpless when he saw that Xiao Lang was always paying attention to unimportant things.

"Okay, forget it, it's meaningless." Xiao Langhan touched the back of his head with a smile, and said, "That's the end of the matter? What's the test? Traffic accident handling? No way! Let me be a traffic policeman? Then I will drop out of school, and I will go back to study archaeology."

Suddenly, the glasses of the two people lit up, and a row of small characters appeared: "We are about to enter the next scene, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

Tang Dangdang grabbed Xiao Lang's arm subconsciously again.

When the glasses were turned on again, Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang realized that compared to the scene just now, this is the real immersive scene.

Almost at the same time as the glasses were turned on again, the downpour of rain drenched the two of them instantly.

"Oh, I'm going, it's still 5D! I said I would have come wearing a raincoat." Xiao Lang wiped the dripping water from his chin, then moved the vest that was covered in electric wires, and said, " Is this thing waterproof? Will it not leak electricity? I don’t want to be electrocuted to death by this crappy thing before I die in battle.”

The heavy rain came with the strong wind, which made Tang Dangdang tremble, Xiao Lang quickly reached out his hand to support her.

The scene where the two are now is in a mountain depression.Xiao Lang straightened his body and looked around. They were standing next to the broken isolation pile. They should have arrived at the scene of the car accident, but the front was so dark that they couldn't see the situation clearly.At this time, the humming sound behind the ear became more obvious, as if there was a ghost standing behind it with its bloody mouth wide open.

"Is there... is there a light?" Tang Dangdang's trembling voice became indistinct under the cover of the strong wind.Trembling, she touched the temple part of the VR glasses. When she touched it, two beams of strong light shone in front of her.

When Xiao Lang saw it, he found it novel and turned on the light of his glasses.

On the ground in front of me, there was a Costa lying on its side, surrounded by low bushes.

"I'm going, let us deal with traffic accidents! Is the Night Watch organization a lie?" Xiao Lang felt dissatisfied, jumped off the road shoulder, turned back, opened his arms, and signaled Tang Dangdang to jump off too.

"Yes, do you want to go down?" Tang Dangdang didn't know whether it was because he was cold from being drenched or because he was afraid because of the dark surroundings, his voice trembled more and more.

"How can you take the exam if you don't come down?" Xiao Lang said, "Although I didn't understand why a traffic accident was used to test us."

Tang Dangdang first sat on the shoulder of the road, then summoned up her courage, closed her eyes and jumped into Xiao Lang's embrace.

The two stepped on the bushes and approached Costa, Xiao Lang kept moving his ears to hear the sound inside the car.However, in the midst of the storm, there seemed to be no strange movement at all.

"Is there someone dead in the car?" Tang Dangdang said timidly.

"Nobody wants us to do it?" Xiao Lang said with a smile.

"Then go ahead and take a look." Tang Dangdang looked around the dark surroundings, and immediately changed his mind, "No, I want to go in with you."

"It's not certain whether you can go in or not." Xiao Lang walked to the side of Costa who was turned sideways, and looked left and right.

This Costa is a two-door car, with only the driver's door on the left and the passenger door on the right.The co-pilot's window and passenger door were pressed under the body because the vehicle turned over on the right side, and because of the light and the cover of the bushes, it was impossible to see the situation on that side.There were splatters of blood on the front windshield, but it was also impossible to see the situation inside the car because of lighting problems.

"There's blood!" Xiao Lang pointed to the windshield from the outside, and said, "Let me tell you, if no one is dead, why are we here?"

"This line belongs to Brother Nie." Tang Dangdang straightened his wet hair.

The glass of the front and rear windows is intact, and the roof is not damaged. It seems that if you want to get into the car, you have to go up to the left side of the car and enter through the driver's door—if the driver's door is still good.

Costa's car is two meters wide, and if it wants to get on the left side of the car after it rolls over, it has to climb a height of two meters.But this height is really very simple for Xiao Lang.He put his hands on the top edge of the car, turned over lightly and got on the left side of the car, and then stretched out his hand to pull Tang Dangdang.Tang Dangdang's small physique was gently pulled by Xiao Lang, and his feet flew up into the air.

"You need to eat more, you will become thinner and thinner." Xiao Lang slapped his hands and said.

"Is there so much jerky?" Tang Dangdang squatted on the iron sheet of Costa's left compartment and said.Firstly, the height was a bit high, and the car was shaking, which made Tang Dangdang afraid to stand easily; secondly, there was nothing scary inside the dark car windows.

Xiao Lang walked to the car window, knocked on the car window with his knuckles, made a bang bang bang sound, and said: "The car windows are all intact, so I said it's impossible. After working for a long time, this car window It’s tempered, it’s a special car for the rich.”

"Then shall we still go in?" Tang Dangdang asked.

"Come in, how can you understand the case if you don't come in?" Xiao Lang opened the driver's seat door as if he was pulling the manhole cover, probed in and looked, and said, "I can't see anything, there is no one in the driver's seat, and there seems to be no one behind." No one, you advanced?"

Tang Dangdang shrank aside and shook his head.

"Then I'm going down?" Xiao Lang pointed to the car.

Tang Dangdang shook his head again and said, "If you go down, the door will automatically close."

"Then you hold on to the door, I will go down first, and you will go down next." Xiao Lang stepped aside.Tang Dangdang tried it with both hands. The door was very heavy, so the force to close it downward was very strong, and she obviously couldn't hold it.

Xiao Lang sighed, shook his head, and said, "Come, hold my neck."

The two entered the car like an old monkey leading a young monkey, and the light beams of the VR glasses instantly illuminated the inside of the car.Behind the VR glasses, Tang Dangdang secretly squinted his eyes, afraid that he would see something terrible.

However, there was no one in the car.

"Oh, I'll go, grandpa really doesn't play cards according to common sense." Xiao Lang stepped on the back of the seat, walked around the car with his waist bent, and said, "It's true that there are no dead people."

"But, why is the car unmanned?" Tang Dangdang was terrified after thinking carefully.

"Yeah, it's strange." Xiao Lang was still walking up and down.

There are some sundries scattered on the right side of Costa being pressed below, such as scattered toolboxes, paper towels, tea cups, leather bags, glasses and so on.Xiao Lang stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't expect to actually pick up something.Xiao Lang lowered his head and took a closer look, he was holding a leather bag, which contained all the documents and banknotes, nothing was missing.

Except for a small amount of splattered blood on the windshield, no blood was seen on other parts.

A scene of a car accident with no wounded or dead bodies, what exactly do the instructors want to test us on?Xiao Lang thought.

Seeing that there was nothing scary in the car, Tang Dangdang also calmed down.She stood on the side of the co-pilot's backrest, looking at a black box hanging from the roof.

"Black box?" Xiao Lang was attracted by Tang Dangdang's eyes, "There is still a black box in this car?"

"What black box? The black box of the plane is not black, but orange-red!" Tang Dangdang smiled and said, "This should be the driving recorder of this car."

"What's the use of the recorder?" Xiao Lang didn't take it seriously, "Just now we saw the monitoring on the road. The car turned and overturned inexplicably. There is no block or obstacle in front of it, and there is no roadblock. Oh, but If the recorder was pointed into the car, there may be no clues."

"No, the camera is facing the front of the car." Tang Dangdang shook his head regretfully, and said, "But my dad said that the on-site investigation is supposed to have the attitude of 'treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor', and don't let go of any clues easily. , in order to form a clear chain of evidence and clues."

"Okay, your dad will give you a little treat." Xiao Lang said with a laugh.

"Maybe there is a recording or something?" After Tang Dangdang finished speaking, he wanted to remove the driving recorder.

"I'll help you." Xiao Lang was about to reach out to pick up the recorder, but suddenly stopped.

"Pick it up." Tang Dangdang stared at the recorder, puzzled by how it was installed.

"Shh." Xiao Lang made a silent gesture in a spirited manner.

"Don't try to scare me." Tang Dangdang said dismissively.

Xiao Lang stood still for a few seconds, then leaned on the window on Costa's left side and looked up.Two beams of white light shine through the glass of the car and shine on the hillside on one side.

"No! Landslide!" Xiao Lang shouted, "Run away!"

"This one hasn't been taken off yet." Tang Dangdang didn't notice anything unusual, and was still trying to find a way to remove the driving recorder.

"It's too late." Xiao Lang rushed to Tang Dangdang's side helplessly, smashed the casing of the driving recorder with a wrench in his hand, and stretched out his hand to tear off the electronic components in the box.

"Hey, I still have to work hard to recover when you're like this." Tang Dangdang snatched the electronic components from Xiao Lang's hand and looked at them carefully.

"If you don't run away, others will have to spend time to attend our memorial service." Xiao Lang shouted eagerly and pulled the door handle of the driver's seat, but no matter how hard he pulled, the door of the driver's seat couldn't be opened.

"Not good! The child lock was locked during the rollover process." Xiao Lang stepped to the tempered glass window in the middle of the car in a few steps, trying to pull the window open.However, the window was not opened.

Xiao Lang, whose face was flushed with anxiety, punched the window lock with a fist, and with a loud bang, the window lock exploded, and debris flew out of Tang Dangdang's hair.Seeing that the window lock was broken, Xiao Lang pulled open the window.

During the whole process, Tang Dangdang was kept there.

"Let's go!" Xiao Lang grabbed Tang Dangdang, pushed her out of the window with his arms, and then fled out of the car with his own hands.The heavy rain fell on their heads again.

"Do you want to protect the evidence?" Tang Dangdang asked.

"Protect my life first." Xiao Lang picked up Tang Dangdang and carried it on his shoulders.

At this time, the ground had begun to shake violently, and rocks and soil of various sizes were rolling down the hillside beside the car.In just three seconds, larger rocks began to roll down from the top of the slope, driving the surrounding soil to splash continuously.

"Oh, this is a landslide, I only saw it on TV before." Tang Dangdang said calmly, lying on Xiao Lang's shoulder.

Xiao Lang jumped out of the car through the car window, stepped on the low bushes, and ran wildly all the way, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the road shoulder next to the expressway.And in just half a minute, the rolling earth and boulders crazily hit Costa, who was lying on his side, behind Xiao Lang's back, and the sound of glass shattering and steel being deformed could be heard endlessly.When Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang climbed onto the separation pile and looked back, they could no longer see Costa.

"It's too scary." Xiao Lang put down Tang Dangdang, wiped the sweat from his forehead, touched the VR glasses with his wrist, and realized that this was just a test, and all the sound, light and motion effects were actually simulated by the computer.

Thinking of this, he found that Tang Dangdang was looking at him with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Lang smiled awkwardly, and said, "I know it's fake, but this is my attitude of taking the exam seriously."

"The electronic components of the driving recorder have been damaged. Is there any possibility of repair?" Fu Yuanman's voice suddenly came from the two people's headphones.

"Where? Where? Isn't it in Dangdang's hand?" There was no image in Xiao Lang's glasses, so he stared at the electronic component in Tang Dangdang's hand and said.

And Tang Dangdang's VR glasses showed a pile of debris.

Tang Dangdang rolled her eyes quickly. After a long time, she said, "The data can be reconstructed through chip soldering. However, if I want to completely restore the data inside, I'm only... [-]% sure."

"I sent the cracking solution provided by Dangdang to consult our top electronic evidence experts in the police field. They greatly appreciated Dangdang. They said that the method invented by Dangdang is a brand new method, which can greatly shorten the data The time to be cracked and recovered. In the eyes of experts, it is inevitable to use this method to achieve success, and the [-]% certainty that Dangdang said is really a modest statement." Fu Yuanman stood in front of the big screen in the control room Looking at Tang Dangdang on the screen with satisfaction, he said, "Tang Jun, you have raised an extremely outstanding daughter."

"It's just her own preference. I don't want her to be a policeman." Tang Jun shrugged helplessly, and said, "Isn't your grandson like this too? The data on the consistent escape with heavy loads, and the keenness to spot landslides Hearing, I am afraid that the Wolf Warrior commandos in the army are far behind."

"Is there hope for the Night Watch?" Fu Yuanman stared at Tang Jun solemnly.

Tang Jun's eyes dimmed a little, and he did not face Fu Yuanman's question directly. He said loudly: "Tang Dangdang arrived at the scene to search for key electronic evidence as soon as possible, and brought the electronic evidence back in a dangerous situation. After image recognition, Tang Dangdang is more capable. The data in the driving recorder is recovered with a high probability. These ability characteristics meet the ability requirements of the tracker in the Night Watch organization, the assessment is approved, and the tracker is awarded the title."

After speaking, he stamped two large seals on the portfolio, one with "Passed" and the other with "Trace Seeker".

"Xiao Lang discovered the emergency police situation in time at the scene, and successfully escaped danger with his companions at the first time. With his keen senses and expertise in police body, combined with his performance in the past three months, we think he is suitable for the Night Watch organization. Ambusher's ability conditions, the assessment is approved, and the ambusher will be awarded the title."

After finishing speaking, there were two more stamping sounds.

There was crackling applause from the seats in the back row of the control room. It turned out that the mentors of the Night Watch organization had already arrived.

Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang walked out of the sand table drenched, Tang Jun took a big towel and immediately wrapped Tang Dangdang up.

"Baby go back to the dormitory to take a bath, don't freeze." Tang Jun said with concern.

"Dad—I'm not a baby anymore." Tang Dangdang cast a glance at Xiao Lang who was suppressing a smile, and blamed embarrassingly.

"Where's my towel?" Xiao Lang shook his wet hair, reaching out to Tang Jun for a towel.

"What are you afraid of, a young man?" Tang Jun ignored Xiao Lang, turned and left.

"Hey, hey, isn't this too unfair? Not only did you turn on the stove, but you also stuffed towels." Xiao Lang said with a smile, "Baby is also afraid of cold, so baby also needs towels."

"You are so annoying." Tang Dangdang, who was wrapped in a big towel, kicked Xiao Lang.

"Prepare for the next group." Fu Yuanman's voice came from the radio.

The other students in the preparation room didn't know what happened to Xiao Lang and Tang Dangdang. After waiting for half an hour, they finally heard the voice of the team leader again, and couldn't help but start to commotion.

4
"Ouch, a car accident." Cheng Zimo said, chewing gum.

"This car accident is very strange." Ling Mo said, "There is nothing in front of this expressway, why did the car overturn?"

"Humans themselves are very magical creatures." Nie Zhixuan raised his prosthetic limb, "The essence of realistic reasoning is, 'Don't judge others by yourself, don't preconceive first'."

"Brother Nie, are you protesting that you have been locked up for a few days?" Cheng Zimo smiled.

"No, no." Nie Zhixuan laughed, "I'm just saying that the condition of the occupants cannot be directly deduced from the abnormal conditions of the vehicle. It must be judged comprehensively based on the on-site investigation and autopsy."

Ling Mo didn't speak.

"This kind of impact and rollover, if it is not very small, may not necessarily kill people." Nie Zhixuan stood on tiptoe, trying to see the Costa van that had rushed out of sight from the screen in front of him.

"Haha, what's the use of tiptoeing?" Cheng Zimo joked, "This is a surveillance system. The car rushed out of the highway and left the highway. I guess the next step is to let us investigate the scene, right?"

"That makes sense, but there isn't even a survey box, so how do you survey the site?" Nie Zhixuan looked around him and his empty hands. It seemed that the sand table system didn't prepare a set of survey equipment for them.

"There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Cheng Zimo said this when the countdown appeared, but in fact, her heart was also beating a drum.

Soon, the scene in front of him was switched, and there was a downpour of rain from the sky.

"Not good, the heavy rain will seriously damage the physical evidence at the scene." Nie Zhixuan's prosthetic limb did not affect his activities. He took three steps in two steps, climbed over the high-speed isolation pile, and jumped to the side of Costa.

"We seem to have nothing to do." Cheng Zimo, who was also a site surveyor, said, "Without a rain cloth, we can't protect the site at all."

Ling Mo followed Nie Zhixuan into the scene, and circled Costa without saying a word.

"No! There is no one in the car!" This strange discovery aroused Nie Zhixuan's curiosity immediately.He couldn't find the survey equipment, so he opened the door with his prosthetic right hand and jumped straight into the car.

"The tires are in good condition, with no sign of a puncture; the chassis and suspension are all normal, and there is no obvious vehicle failure. Then, why is this?" Ling Mo muttered to himself as he climbed into the car left side of the .

"Zimo, do you want to get down first?" Ling Mo opened the door and pointed to the inside of the car.

"Hey, don't touch the doorknob directly with your hands." Nie Zhixuan yelled in the car, then thought about it, and said, "Oh, but the rain has become like this, and there is really no sense of protection."

And Cheng Zimo, who was standing on the side of the car, didn't move his body, looking left and right, wondering what he was thinking.She didn't react until Ling Mo called her again, and said quickly: "No, we can't all go in. Also, I'm going to visit this small forest."

Everyone's attention was attracted by this rollover Costa, and no one even noticed that there was a dense grove on the hill beside the car.

After thinking about it, Ling Mo thought that Cheng Zimo's decision was very correct, so he jumped into the car alone.

Nie Zhixuan in the car found a paper bag from nowhere, and was putting all kinds of sundries scattered in the car into the paper bag.

"It's a good thing I have a hand without fingerprints, otherwise I wouldn't know how to collect these physical evidence." Nie Zhixuan laughed at himself, "It's a pity that there is no camera, so I can't fix the exact location of the physical evidence."

"It's okay, I'll remember everything." Ling Mo said confidently.

"come here now!"

The two of them vaguely heard Cheng Zimo's shouts outside the car.

Ling Mo turned around and rushed to the car door, only to find that the door couldn't be opened from the inside, and said, "Zimo's choice is right, if we all get into the car, if we are really in danger, we will be trapped in the car gone."

"Hurry up and see if the window lock is broken." Nie Zhixuan looked at the lock on the inside of the window and said, "The window is locked from the inside, but I want to try to see if it can be opened, but I don't have a lock picking tool. .”

As soon as the words fell, the car door was pulled open from the outside.Cheng Zimo poked his half face in, looked at Nie Zhixuan and Ling Mo who were covered up, and said, "Go and have a look, there is a corpse in the grove."

"Corpse?" Nie Zhixuan asked in surprise, "The driver?"

"Then I don't know." Cheng Zimo struggled to support the car door and said, "The door is so heavy, you should move faster."

The three jumped out of the car and ran quickly into the woods.Sure enough, in the depths of the grove, a person was hanging from the branch of a small tree.

"Suicide after a car accident?" Cheng Zimo said, "It's a bit unbelievable."

The rain is getting heavier.

"Brother Nie, it's raining so hard, are your... are your hands and feet okay?" Ling Mo asked with concern.

Nie Zhixuan walked around the corpse twice and said, "It doesn't rust, it's very useful."

After speaking, he put the body down from the tree branch, and put the rope used for hanging the body into a paper bag.

"The effect of this sand table simulation is really good. Before I touched the dead body, I always felt that I was really in a scene in the heavy rain." Nie Zhixuan said, "But when you touch the dead body, you know it's fake. Although the instructors I worked very hard to make the corpse feel more realistic."

After putting the "corpse" down, Nie Zhixuan checked the neck groove[13] of the deceased, looked at the eyelids and lips of the deceased, and lifted the clothes of the "corpse" to look at the torso.

"Broken ribs." Nie Zhixuan said, "A subcutaneous hemorrhage in the arc of the chest and abdomen, this is a steering wheel injury."

"That is to say, he is the driver?" Ling Mo asked.

Nie Zhixuan nodded: "Will you build a virtual dissection room for us? Otherwise, we don't even have tools, so how can we do anatomy? Use a 'hand knife'?"

Nie Zhixuan made a "knife" gesture with his right hand, and "cut" the corpse's chest and abdomen.He knew that this was a sand table exercise, and maybe a virtual anatomy image would appear after such a comparison.However, there was no change in the corpse in front of him.

"I thought it was really so high-tech!" Nie Zhixuan laughed dumbly, "I have to suggest to the team leader that the virtual dissection of forensic doctors must be added to this sand table system, so that it will be exciting!"

"Brother Nie, you need to move faster, we are in danger now. Well, under the heavy rain, the hillside is a very dangerous place." Cheng Zimo said.

"You mean, mudslide?" Ling Mo looked up at the top of the slope, the sight was blocked by a huge black curtain and rain and fog.

Judging the terrain and warning of dangers are all skills that a wind catcher should possess.As a wind catcher who is responsible for makeup investigation, lurking undercover, and collecting clues, the most important ability is to be able to "predict" the existence of danger and set up a plan for escape.But among the retired mentors in the Night's Watch, there really isn't a Windcatcher.Therefore, in the past three months of training, the students did not dabble in the course of the wind catcher.

"Who did you learn this knowledge from?" Ling Mo asked.

"Does this still need to be learned? A woman's sixth sense." Cheng Zimo shook his hair, spit out chewing gum, and smiled.

Suddenly, a small stone hit Cheng Zimo's vest, making a "pop" sound.Several people were stunned at the same time.

"No way, if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, right?" Ling Mo said in a low voice.

"Run! It's a slippery slope!" Cheng Zimo turned around and ran.

Ling Mo and Nie Zhixuan subconsciously followed Cheng Zimo and ran towards the high speed direction. After running a few steps, Nie Zhixuan turned his head and returned to the side of the corpse, while Ling Mo turned suddenly and ran towards Costa.

"Hey, what are you two doing? If you get hit by a rock, you will definitely fail." Cheng Zimo stood beside the highway and waved his hands.

At this time, the sound of the landslide became louder and louder, and the dust raised by the rocks and the raindrops in the air had a fierce confrontation.Seeing that the landslide was approaching the grove, Nie Zhixuan finally rushed out of the grove, and ran towards Cheng Zimo with a "corpse" on his shoulders, while Ling Mo on the other side also ran back drenched.

"Save the 'corpse' at a critical moment?" Cheng Zimo looked at the panting Nie Zhixuan in surprise.

"The corpse is not just physical evidence." Nie Zhixuan laid the "corpse" across the shoulder of the highway, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered the corpse's face, squatted on the ground panting for a long time, and said, "This is more a A sacred object that needs to be respected. As a forensic doctor, if you don't know how to respect a corpse, you will not know how to interpret its language."

Cheng Zimo nodded solemnly.The three of them bowed their heads and stood on the shoulder of the road, listening to the roar of landslides in the distance, as if they were mourning for the dead.

When the landslide's mudslide covered Costa, the scene in front of him came to an abrupt end.

"Please go to the dormitory area to take a shower and change clothes. After the assessment of all the students, gather in the conference room." Fu Yuanman's voice sounded.

"This... that's the end? What did we test? The body hasn't been dissected yet! How can I answer the question of the cause of death later?" Nie Zhixuan waved his prosthetic limb, at a loss.

"Oh, it's fine." Cheng Zimo took Nie Zhixuan's right arm and pulled him away from the sand table, "Will you know if it's okay or not?"

"Our assessment this time doesn't seem to bring out my apprentice's strengths." Tang Jun smiled slightly and said, "As a mind reader, how can you read people's hearts if you don't set up a living person for him?"

"You mind reader, did you do it on purpose?" Fu Yuanman put down the microphone and laughed, "A mind reader is far from being as simple as a mind reader. To truly become a mind reader, you need to have a super high In addition to the emotional intelligence and psychological analysis skills, you also need to have extraordinary memory and logical reasoning ability. In my opinion, our organization is the most difficult to be a mind reader."

"Then look, can Ling Mo do it?"

"He watched the exterior and interior of the entire car in the shortest possible time, and he can even remember the location and shape of all the physical evidence that Nie Zhixuan extracted." Fu Yuanman touched the stubble on his chin and said, " And at the critical moment, he went back to carefully observe the splattered blood on the passenger seat. I believe that Ling Mo at this time should be restoring the scene through painting."

"You mean, he passed?" Tang Jun picked up the big seal engraved with "Passed".

Fu Yuanman nodded with a smile, and said: "Ling Mo is one of the few good boys I have ever met who is very talented. However, I think his ability to judge the terrain and his ability to be good at disguising make him more suitable as a catcher." Windy."

"Hey, Dad, he's my apprentice! No one can take it away!" Tang Jun protested, snatching the seal of "Mind Reader" and stamping it on Ling Mo's file bag.

"Still taking you like this?" Fu Yuanman held up the seal of "Windcatcher", laughed, and then his eyes flashed, and said, "However, it seems that you don't like the name of Windcatcher. It's still a little emotional."

"No." Tang Jun avoided Fu Yuanman's eyes and said, "It was actually Cheng Zimo who issued the early warning and discovered the danger at the first time. I think since this little girl is not willing to be a tracer behind the scenes, And she likes guns so much, and her marksmanship is accurate, she is the best candidate for the Windcatcher. And her wish is also the Windcatcher."

After speaking, Tang Jun picked up the seal of "Windcatcher" and looked at Fu Yuanman gesturing.

Fu Yuanman nodded silently, and said: "After Lao Dong, the Windcatcher has been vacant for more than 20 years, and now he can be regarded as a successor. Oh, by the way, Lao Zhu, Cheng Zimo is your apprentice, do you have any objections?" ?”

Zhu Lishan, a retired trace seeker who suffers from Parkinson's syndrome, nodded, and said with difficulty: "Lian Po... old, young man, let her go, and, there is... Zhixuan."

"A qualified tracer is definitely not only rigorous, meticulous, and perceptive on the surface, but also awe of life on the spiritual level." Fu Yuanman said, "Nie Zhixuan, who is neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor in vain nor indulgent, Well deserved."

Seeing Fu Yuanman solemnly stamp Nie Zhixuan's portfolio, Tang Jun smiled and picked up the microphone: "The next group of students is ready."

After another three groups of competitions, all eleven students were tested.To the relief of all the instructors, each student passed the assessment smoothly and demonstrated their strengths through this assessment.

Fu Yuanman has one last job left, which is to obtain the change map of each student's physical signs throughout the examination process, and judge each student based on changes in their physical signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and adrenaline levels. The psychological state of students in different situations.

According to the rules, this work is done by the person in charge of the Night Watch organization.Therefore, Fu Yuanman invited the other tutors away, put the eleven atlases side by side in front of him, slowly put on his reading glasses, and looked carefully, nodding and smiling while watching.

Until he saw one of the atlases, all the curves on it were straight without any ups and downs, which was obviously different from the other ten atlases. Fu Yuanman frowned, lowered his head to think, and stood silently stand up.

He repacked the various assessment materials of the eleven students into the file bags one by one, carefully sealed each file bag, and used a blue gel pen to write next to the word "Passed" in one of the file bags. Slowly draw a question mark.

Eleven file bags were piled up, more than half a meter high. Fu Yuanman picked up all the file bags with difficulty, put them into the safe in his office, and locked them carefully.

When Fu Yuanman walked to the door of the big conference room, all the mentors lined up to shake hands with Fu Yuanman, and everyone's joy was overflowing on their faces.

Finally, it was Tang Jun who held Fu Yuanman's generous palm. He pointed to the large conference room and said, "The members of the organization have finished their preparations and are ready to go. Well, congratulations, Dad, congratulations to the Night Watchers organization, it has restarted."

This sentence made the 73-year-old Fu Yuanman's heart surge. He held back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes, and pushed open the door of the conference room with both hands.

In the first row of the meeting room of the Night Watchers Organization, there were eleven young men wearing police uniforms and the logo of the Night Watchers Organization sitting on their chests. "
