Chapter 11 The Shadow by the Window, Beyond the City

The shadow by the window, the other side of the city

It was rare for Chu Bin to get up very early today. When he came down from upstairs, his father Chu Xinyang and his mother Tang Mei were having breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor. Chu Bin subconsciously wanted to turn around and go upstairs. Awed.

"Xiao Bin, come on, let's have breakfast together!" Tang Mei didn't expect Chu Bin to get up so early. To be honest, it's rare for a family of three to get together for breakfast.

Chu Bin sat down on the chair helplessly.

Chu Xinyang didn't look at him, he was drinking porridge while reading today's Metropolis Daily.

Although it is already the Internet age, Chu Xinyang still maintains the habit of reading paper publications.

"The monkeys in Qianling Mountain are multiplying too fast, and they are overrun. I mentioned two years ago that the number of monkeys must be controlled. They didn't pay attention until now that there were a few incidents of monkeys hurting tourists. , we plan to donate macaques to other provinces in two batches, and it is estimated that nearly [-] monkeys will be donated in total." Chu Xinyang put down the newspaper after finishing speaking.

Chu Bin took a bowl of porridge from Aunt Zhang and just took a bite of a deep-fried stick. When Chu Xinyang mentioned the monkey, his expression changed slightly, as if he was a little scared.

Chu Xinyang and Tang Mei didn't notice anything unusual about their son.

Tang Mei said: "Yes, when I went to burn incense on the mountain a while ago, those monkeys came directly to snatch the bags and purses in our hands. There were more than a dozen of them, and the parry was scary. It must be properly rectified. Otherwise, I dare not climb this mountain.”

Only then did Chu Xinyang look at Chu Bin: "Are you willing to come back? Don't stay at home, but rent a house by yourself. Look at you now. You are not a ghost or a ghost. What have you been doing outside all night?"

Chu Xinyang has only one child, and he loves the child very much from the bottom of his heart. He has repeatedly asked Chu Bin to help him in the company. After all, he is getting old, and someone has to take care of such a big family business.But Chu Bin was not interested at all. Even if he joined the company, he was a fisherman. After two days of posting on the net, he kicked Chu Bin out of the company in a fit of anger.

Tang Mei looked at Chu Bin and said, "Xiao Bin, you're not too young anymore, you can't just keep wandering like this? Listen to Mom's persuasion, admit your mistakes with your dad, go back to the company and work hard, Chutian will still count on you in the future Also, don’t live outside anymore, even if a person is sick outside, no one will take care of him, move back to live.”

Chu Bin raised his head, looked at Tang Mei, and then at Chu Xinyang. He suddenly discovered that his parents had started to have gray hair.

Chu Xinyang said: "These days, you still often go racing with your friends?"

Chu Bin said softly "Yes", but then said: "Dad, I will never go racing again, and I will honestly go back to work in the company."

What he said surprised Chu Xinyang, he knew his son very well, why did he change his sex all of a sudden?Tang Mei didn't think about it too much, a smile appeared on her face, as if she was very happy: "So you also agreed to move back?"

Chu Bin nodded.

Tang Mei grabbed her son's hand: "That's right, a family is meant to be together, you're 25 this year, put your mind on the company, and tomorrow I'll let your Aunt Chen take Lu Qing Come to have a meal at home, do you remember that girl Lu Qing? When you were young, you said when you were pretending to be a housekeeper, you will marry her when you grow up, and she really takes it to heart." Tang Mei said Said, looking at his son and smiling.

Chu Bin frowned, it was just a childhood joke, how could he take it seriously?

Tang Mei said again: "Lu Qing has grown into a big girl now, she is very beautiful, her appearance, temperament and education are very suitable for you, especially their family background is very good."

Tang Mei wanted to continue talking, but Chu Xinyang coughed, and Tang Mei stopped.

Chu Xinyang stared fixedly at Chu Bin, and Chu Bin felt a little panicked.

Chu Xinyang asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"No, no." Chu Bin's voice was very low.

Chu Xinyang snorted coldly: "I don't know you yet, tell me honestly, did you cause trouble outside?"

Chu Bin squeezed out a smiling face: "Really not."

Tang Mei is very protective of her son: "Can't you think better about the child? What kind of trouble can he cause? You still don't know about your own child? Although he is a bit playful, when did he do those messy things?" matter?"

Chu Xinyang finished the porridge in the bowl, then looked at Chu Bin: "Since you want to go back to the company, go to work with me today."

Chu Bin hurriedly said, "Dad, can you take a few days off? I'm a little tired these days."

Chu Xinyang's eyes widened, and Chu Bin said, "Three days, just three days, okay? I want to take a good rest."

Chu Xinyang wanted to say a few words about him, but Tang Mei became impatient. She was afraid that Chu Xinyang would force her son away again, so she stared at Chu Xinyang and said, "Old Chu, you're not finished yet. My son has promised to come back. I also agreed to go to work in the company, what's wrong with letting him rest for a few days?"

Pulled by Tang Mei, Chu Xinyang was forced to leave the house and go to the company. Before they left, Tang Mei gave Chu Bin a wink, telling him not to worry, Chu Xinyang, she can take care of it.

Chu Bin was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. He held a mobile phone in one hand and Shen Shen's business card in the other. He hesitated whether he should call Shen Shen.

In the end, he dialed Shen Shen's number.

"Captain Shen, it's me, Chu Bin."

Shen Chen was listening to Fu Hong's analysis of the case in the meeting room, and he was a little surprised by Chu Bin's phone call.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Shen Chen didn't have much affection for this rich second generation. The reason why he left his business card was because of the needs of the case. Three victims.

"Captain Shen, I didn't sleep well last night. I always felt like there was a monkey staring at me by the window." monkey.

"Monkey?" Shen Shen couldn't help being startled.

Although he told Chu Bin last night that Luo Jincheng was dead, he did not reveal the relevant details to Chu Bin, which meant that Chu Bin could not have known about the monkey, but he actually called and said that he felt being stared at by a monkey. It's on, which makes Shen Chen have to pay attention.

"Where are you now?" Shen Shen asked.

Chu Bin said: "I'm at home, I went home last night, it's my parents' home."

Shen Shen said softly: "The other side of Chutian City?"

Shen Shen knew where Chu Xinyang lived.

"Yes."

"Okay, you wait at home, I'll be right over."

After saying that, Shen Chen hung up the phone. At this time, the meeting of the task force was almost over. After explaining a few words to Fu Hong, Shen Chen and Fu Hong were about to leave and went to Chu Bin's residence.

"I'll go with you," Wang Lu said.

Shen Chen glanced at her: "Do you know where I'm going?"

"It doesn't matter, I can't stay in the office all day." Wang Lu looked like she was relying on him.

Shen Chen didn't say anything else, and led Wang Lu into his little polo, and the car drove towards Nanming District.

On the way, under Wang Lu's questioning, Shen Shen gave a general account of Chu Bin's affairs.

After hearing this, Wang Lu narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment: "Have you read today's news?"

Shen Chen froze for a moment: "News? What news?"

"The macaques in Qianling Mountain are infested. The relevant departments decided to donate [-] macaques in two batches to two major scenic spots in China. Monkeys often appear in some residential areas in the two urban areas near Qianling Mountain."

Shen Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Wang Lu said: "So just a monkey does not mean that the murderer is targeting Chu Bin. Of course, this possibility is not ruled out. The reason why I said this is to remind you. Because yesterday You talked about Luojin City, Chu Bin will probably also feel scared. At this time, he will become sensitive to some subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Maybe he really saw the monkey, but he will exaggerate what he saw. How do you feel about the monkey thing.”

Shen Shen nodded, he still approved of Wang Lu's analysis.

"Team Shen, I want to ask you a question." Wang Lu turned to look at Shen Shen who was driving, and Shen Shen also glanced at her: "Ask."

"Are you biased against psychological profiling? I heard that Bureau Tan called me because you were very unhappy." Wang Lu asked directly, pursed her lips, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer this question.

After about half a minute, he said: "How should I put it, I personally think that many people have metaphysicalized psychology. It is undeniable that psychology has its scientific side, but I don't think psychology is omnipotent. I have a general understanding of psychological profiling, but it does not mean that you can complete it sitting in an office. You also need to do a lot of information collection work, and extract elements related to the inner activities of criminal suspects from many clues. Summarize and perfect. As for me, I am not against psychological profiling, but I am not superstitious. As an old criminal policeman, I prefer to use the most primitive criminal investigation methods instead of relying too much on some technological means. Including your psychological profile."

Wang Lu was a little speechless. Originally, she wanted to teach Shen Shen a good lesson, but Shen Shen was able to understand psychological profiling so thoroughly, and she spoke logically.As I said, I don't reject psychological profiling, it's just that I'm more used to my own detection methods.

Wang Lu punched the cotton.

Wang Lu said: "No matter what, since Bureau Tan asked me to come to the task force, it is trust in me, so I will do my job well, and I hope you can actively cooperate. In addition, don't always throw me away. I don’t care about you in the office, as you said, even doing psychological profiling requires a lot of information processing and collection work, so from now on, I will always follow you, I will go wherever you go, and I will actually participate Come to your actual work. In addition, as the psychological profiler of the special case team, I must keep abreast of new developments and new discoveries of the case. Team Shen, my request is not too much, right?"

Shen Shen is a bit big-headed, he is not very used to getting along with women, even colleagues.But he really couldn't find a reason to refuse Wang Lu's request. He didn't speak for a long time and kept silent.

But Wang Lu was relentless and insisted on expressing his opinion.

In the end, Shen Shen had no choice but to agree.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the other side of Chutian City.

The other side of Chutian City is a high-end residential area developed by Truking Group, and it is also one of the best in the entire forest city. It can only be compared with "on the water side".

When Shen Chen's car entered the community, the guard gave him a little contempt. People who can live in such a high-end community are either rich or expensive, and the cars that come in and out are at least 50 to [-]. Little polo really can't catch the eyes of these people.
