After the Lantern Festival in 2022, the weather begins to warm up, and the spring breeze blows from the south, like the call of God, waking up the flowers, plants and trees.The first ones to bloom are the winter jasmine flowers, red, white, purple and pink, competing to reveal their fragrance. They can be found in every corner of the city.Of course, other flowers are not far behind, rushing to open their sleepy eyes and enjoying the caress of spring.

The new coronavirus is still prevalent in this city, with several patients appearing every day, putting huge pressure on the epidemic prevention agencies and the government. Especially under the influence of many European and American countries choosing collective immunity policies, some citizens and anti-epidemic personnel have developed There are fortunately very few quarrels and even conflicts. Otherwise, it would shake the government's determination to eliminate the virus.

The Provincial New Energy Research Institute is located in East Lake Park. It is a research institute under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and focuses on the research of new energy.East Lake Park is located in the eastern suburbs of the city, covering nearly 12 square kilometers. It is a source of drinking water for citizens. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is intercepted by a 10-meter-high dam on one side, becoming a fresh water reservoir.The park has beautiful scenery, an elegant and quiet environment, and is far away from the hustle and bustle. It is an ideal office place. Many people envy to work in an environment like a landscape painting.

There is a wooden sign hanging on the right side of the entrance of the institute, which reads "Renewable Energy Research Institute, Changjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences". The words are gilded and sparkle in the morning light, looking very impressive.Today is February 2, Monday. Director Shen Hui walked into the office, sat down and made a cup of tea. Then he sat on the executive chair, turned on the computer, and started writing a paper.

Shen Hui is only 48 years old this year. He is now a second-level professor with an administrative level of deputy department. He became the director in June 2020, not because he was capable, but because the director Liang Xuan happened to retire, and he As the deputy director, he naturally takes over Liang Xuan's class.

He greatly admired Liang Xuan's profound knowledge in the research of new energy. He often published articles in international research magazines, which brought generous research funds to the institute and brought high bonuses to nearly a hundred researchers in the institute. Therefore, he was studying He is highly respected, of course, but he also has shortcomings, that is, he likes to quarrel with the leaders in charge. He could have retired at the age of 65, but because the leader in charge did not like him, he found a reason for improper management and asked him to retire at the age of 60. .

Liang Xuan did not complain about his leadership. He said that his management level was indeed not high because he was a scholar and not a leader.Shen Hui valued Liang Xuan very much, so after Liang Xuan retired, Shen Hui hired him to work as a senior consultant at the institute. In addition to paying him the normal salary, he was also given a bonus.

Liang Xuan only works three days a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.Shen Hui got stuck writing the paper because some experimental data were still in Liang Xuan's computer and needed to be checked before writing the paper.In fact, Shen Hui's theoretical foundation and practice are relatively poor. He is just the opposite of Liang Xuan. He is suitable to be a leader because he graduated from the Provincial Institute of Financial Management. Later, under the guidance of an expert, he went to the Provincial New Energy University for further study. I studied while working and studied new energy science and engineering for five years. Then I was transferred to a research institute and became a professor step by step.

Shen Hui raised his wrist and saw that it was already 10 o'clock in the morning. Liang Xuan had not come to work yet. He felt strange because Liang Xuan was a very punctual person. He had only been late twice in his working life and had never been absent from work once. I have a very strong sense of time and almost have time obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Shen Hui took out his mobile phone and dialed Liang Xuan's number. The call was answered quickly, but no one answered after ringing for a long time. He continued to call, and no one answered after five calls... Shen Hui frowned: Liang Xuan's mobile phone It's open 24 hours a day, so you can call at any time. Why is there no one answering today?
He didn't believe it and called a few more times, but no one answered. Shen Hui thought: Will Liang Xuan mute his phone?He shook his head, feeling that this possibility was very small.So, will there be an accident?Thinking of this, he suddenly trembled.

He walked out of the office and knocked on Liang Xuan's office door. No one responded. He came to the laboratory again and asked Liang Xuan's assistant Qin Dong.He said that Professor Liang did not come to work today, and they still had an experiment waiting for Liang Xuan to guide him.Shen Hui thought for a while and said, "Xiao Qin, you know Professor Liang's home. You and Kong Qing should go and have a look. I will call Kong Qing and explain it clearly."

Qin Dong nodded, walked out of the laboratory, took off his white coat, and walked to the security room.Because Kong Qing is the security captain, he often plays chess with the security captain.Qin Dong walked to the security room and saw Kong Qing answering the phone. While answering the phone, he waved to Qin Dong. After hanging up the phone, Kong Qing said to Qin Dong: "Brother Qin, Shen Suo asked me to accompany you to Liang Let’s take a look at the professor’s house.”

"Yes, let's go." Qin Dong is 38 years old. He has worked in the institute for 15 years and has been rated as an associate professor. Therefore, he is very respected.He walked to his Audi car, opened the door with the electronic key, and sat in the driver's seat. After Kong Qing sat in the passenger seat, he started the car and drove towards Liang Xuan's house.

Liang Xuan’s home is in the southeast of Laishan, called Liyuan Community. This is a high-end residential area. Most of the people living here are Jinling beauties or high-income earners. Houses cost more than 80000 yuan per square meter. It was developed in 2016. , the design is reasonable, the distance between the buildings is wide, the light is sufficient, and the greening rate is high. It is a good place to get quiet in the bustle.

After he drove the car to the gate of Liyuan Community, the security guard asked them to stop the car and asked them who they were looking for.Kong Qing took out his work permit and handed it to the security guard, saying that he was looking for Liang Xuan from Wenxin Building. The security guard saw that Kong Qing was one of his own, so he let them in.

After parking the car, they walked into Wenxin Building and took the elevator to the 22nd floor. After getting off the elevator, they went straight to Room 2204. When they got there, Qin Dong rang the doorbell for a while. No one came to open the door, so he took out his He dialed Liang Xuan's cell phone, and the cell phone rang in the living room. It was the violin song "Butterfly Lovers". This was the ringtone set by Qin Dong for Liang Xuan. He was very familiar with it.After the phone stopped ringing, Qin Dong continued to call, calling more than a dozen times, but no one answered.He opened his palms and slapped the dark red wooden door hard for more than ten minutes. His palms turned red. There was no response in the room. An ominous premonition crept up to him: Something must have happened to Professor Liang. ,what to do?
He carefully checked the door lock and wanted to break in. However, the door lock was a strong electronic lock. It was difficult for him and Kong Qing to break open the wooden door with the strength of him and Kong Qing. Only fingerprints and keys could open the door lock.Kong Qing said: "Brother Qin, Professor Liang lives alone. He may leave the spare key with the property management company and entrust them to keep it. Otherwise, let's go find the property."

Qin Dong thought this method was feasible, so he and Kong Qing took the elevator downstairs, went to the property company, went to the manager, and explained the situation to the manager.The manager said with a cold face: "Professor Liang has a spare key that has been entrusted to our company for safekeeping. However, Professor Liang has said that he will not give the key to anyone who comes to get it except him."

"But what if Professor Liang has an accident? This is a matter of life and death." Qin Dong looked at the manager pitifully, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Professor Liang is in good health and optimistic. Nothing can happen to him. I also know Professor Liang...Besides, what if you are liars? We will never give you the key." The manager was unmoved.

"How about you take the key and go take a look with us." Qin Dong suggested.

"I'm not free now. In 5 minutes, I have to receive the boss from the head office... I suggest you call the police. If something happens to Professor Liang, if we take the key to open the door, it will damage the scene, which will bring trouble to the police. Cause trouble." The manager thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you for your suggestion, we will call the police immediately." So Qin Dong took out his mobile phone and dialed 110. After the police officers asked about the situation, he asked them to wait at Liang Xuan's door. They would immediately send the police to deal with it.

Ten minutes later, Pan Qi, the security captain of Jiangnan District Bureau, led two policemen to the door of Liang Xuan's house and asked Qin Dong about the situation. Qin Dong explained the situation to Pan Qi in detail.Pan Qi asked Qin Dong to continue calling Liang Xuan's mobile phone, and Qin Dong did so. After the call was connected, the ringtone of "Butterfly Lovers" rang, but there was still no answer.

Pan Qi asked one of the police officers to guard the door while he and another police officer went to the property management company to get the spare keys, because only two police officers going together to pick up key things would be effective and in compliance with the procedures.After a while, Panchi brought the key. He inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it, and the lock opened. He opened the door and saw a person lying by the window of the living room.

"Professor Liang!" Qin Dong screamed. He wanted to run in to check on Liang Xuan, but was stopped by Pan Qi.

Pan Qi took off his shoes, revealing his white socks, and said to them: "You guys wait outside the door, and I'll go take a look. If too many people come in, it will destroy the scene." After saying that, he walked in. He walked up to Liang Xuan and tested it. He stopped his breathing and found that Liang Xuan was not breathing. He reached out to touch Liang Xuan's carotid artery and found that there was no pulse. His fingers felt a chill. There were black bruises on his neck, and his face was dark and purple. Experience told him: This is a case of strangulation.

He walked to the door and said to everyone: "Professor Liang is dead. Professor Qin, you and Kong Qing should go back first. I will ask the criminal police team to investigate the scene. I will inform you of the specific situation after the case is solved..."

"What? Professor Liang is dead? Captain Pan, are you mistaken?" Qin Dong asked in surprise with his eyes wide open.
