Infinite nonsense

The weather feels nice today, maybe we can take a walk or something later.

A middle-aged man looked out the window at the ancient city with squinted eyes.

"It's such an ordinary day. I finally have free time."

The uncle smiled, held a cigarette in his mouth, and pressed the lighter to light it.

"team leader!"

In response to the anxious voice in my ears, the door of the office suddenly opened.

"Captain, there's an emergency!"

A young man in casual clothes entered the office in a panic.

"What's going on? What's going on? What are you doing in such a panic?"

The middle-aged uncle crossed his legs on the desk and looked leisurely at the sunshine outside the window.

"It's something big...something big happened!"

The young man gasped with wide eyes and documents in his hand.

"Is it another family having an extramarital affair?"

"no..."

"Should I be asked to go on a business trip again?"

The middle-aged uncle flicked his cigarette on the edge of the ashtray and sighed. It felt like the weather was nice. Maybe he could take a walk later.

A middle-aged man looked out the window at the ancient city with squinted eyes.

"It's such an ordinary day. I finally have free time."

The uncle smiled, held a cigarette in his mouth, and pressed the lighter to light it.

"team leader!"

In response to the anxious voice in my ears, the door of the office suddenly opened.

"Captain, there's an emergency!"

A young man in casual clothes entered the office in a panic.

"What's going on? What's going on? What are you doing in such a panic?"

The middle-aged uncle crossed his legs on the desk and looked leisurely at the sunshine outside the window.

"It's something big...something big happened!"

The young man gasped with wide eyes and documents in his hand.

"Is it another family having an extramarital affair?"

"no..."

"Should I be asked to go on a business trip again?"

The middle-aged uncle flicked his cigarette on the edge of the ashtray and sighed.

"It's not..."

"If it's not...wait a minute, could it be that the director finally fired me?!"

The middle-aged uncle turned his head and said with a shocked expression.

"Ah...no."

The young man said a little speechlessly.

"What else could it be? What could happen to a small county?"

The middle-aged uncle yawned and held his cheek.

"It's murder. The daughter of a family in Dongcheng Street was killed last night!"

The original leisurely atmosphere of the office seemed to have disappeared due to the words, and was replaced by silence.

"The director asked you to go find him after reading the relevant documents on this scene."

When the young man saw that the middle-aged man was silent, he put the documents on the desk and left in a hurry.

The middle-aged man put down his legs on the desk and slowly picked up the documents and flipped through them.

"Kill someone..."

"It's really nerve-wracking! This kind of thing has not happened in the county for more than ten years since 2000. Now is an important node in the county's economic development. What should we do if this incident affects local life?"

An old man wearing a suit and a Mediterranean hairstyle looked eagerly at the burly man sitting on the chair.

"I think this matter should be investigated thoroughly as soon as possible to calm the negative emotions caused by the sudden case."

A calm and somewhat hoarse voice said sternly.

"Investigate it as soon as possible? Do you know that next month, superior cadres will inspect the specific situation of our City A. If this matter is not handled well, it will have a very bad impact on our organization! You will be responsible then ?!”

The young cadre standing aside stepped forward and shouted to the director with wide eyes and a questioning tone.

"I'm responsible."

The director looked at the cadre with sharp eyes and said expressionlessly.

"you..."

The cadre was frightened by the sudden momentum and took a few steps back.

"Any questions?"

Team Wang said in a deep voice.

"There's no problem. It's just that this case has given our association a headache. Xiao Zhang is also a little impatient about this matter."

The man waved his hands and chuckled.

"And Xiao Zhang, if you dare to speak like this to Captain Wang next time, I will have to consider your current work situation, understand?" the man criticized harshly.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Captain Wang, I was too rude."

After hearing this, the cadre acted in a panic, bent down and bowed to apologize.

"No need, let's talk about the case during working hours."

Captain Wang stood up and said solemnly.

"Okay, so which members of the Special Operations Division are Team Wang going to investigate?" After hearing this, the county magistrate lit up his cigarette and took a puff and smiled.

"But as far as I know, the Operations Section of the Special Operations Bureau was disbanded as early as April 2010. It is still difficult to dispatch operatives to work in the current situation, right?" The cadre looked at Team Wang with contempt.

"Please don't worry about this problem. The dispatched personnel are ready. Come in."

The director shouted loudly to the door.

"It seems like this matter is quite serious. Excuse me."

As the door opened a laziness came to my ears.

"Oh……"

The man squinted his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing a wrinkled white shirt, a military green work jacket and black jeans, and then waved to him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Qiu Xin, the captain of the inspection department of our bureau. Qiu Xin, this is my superior, Zhang Lisui."

Following the cadre...this old man...

The cadre tried his best to keep a smile and looked at Director Wang.

"Is it possible that only one person will be assigned to investigate this case?"

Zhang Li looked at Captain Wang in surprise.

"Yes."

"Old Wang, if you don't have enough manpower, you can tell me and I can help you transfer a few from outside the city..."

The county magistrate couldn't help but said when he saw Qiu Xin's listless look.

"No need, don't worry, Lao Zhang, there is no problem for him to handle this case alone."

The corners of Director Wang's mouth raised slightly.

"After all, he was still the deputy captain of the Criminal Division of the BJ City Detachment back then. Please don't worry about his abilities."

"Oh, is it so..."

The cadres on the side looked up and down with squinting eyes.

"No, no, the king promoted me. Now I'm just a patrol officer in the city. Forget about what happened three years ago."

Qiu Xin tilted his head and picked out his ears and laughed.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. There is only half a month until the city leaders arrive in our county, so the time to investigate the case is only about a week. Please ask Captain Qiu to solve it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I promise to complete the task."

Qiu Xin smiled.

"Then I'll go back first and wish Director Wang everything goes well."

Zhang Li glanced at Qiu Xin and picked up the briefcase on his desk to leave. Upon seeing this, the cadres hurried forward.

"Oh, I forgot one thing." Zhang Li stopped and turned back to the cadre.

"You should follow Captain Qiu for the time being. You can also gain work experience by updating the relevant records of the case."

"what......"

The cadre looked at Zhang Li in confusion and then looked back at Qiu Xin who was yawning at the side.

"Then please ask Captain Wang and Captain Qiu to take care of me." The county magistrate nodded to Director Wang and smiled.

"It's a small matter." Captain Wang waved his hand.

Only then did Zhang Li open the door and leave the office with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhang..." The cadre looked back in panic and saw the two men quickly catching up.

"I really didn't expect that the people above are still pestering you now."

Qiu Xin sighed as he watched the two people leaving.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Captain Wang took a sip of tea with a helpless expression.

"Let me investigate the case alone... Could it be that there is a problem in each department?" Qiu Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment and said in surprise.

"You are still as sharp as ever... As you thought, Zhang Li has a lot of informants in the department. I'm not sure what he wants to do now. Is it related to this case? Doesn't he want to investigate this case? A case..."

Director Wang held his chin and frowned, thinking.

"You mean there's something fishy here?"

Qiu Xin tried.

"Please Qiu Xin, if this incident is solved, I will consider transferring you back to the front line."

"There's no need to transfer back to the front line. As long as we can reimburse the meal money for the week of investigating the case,"

Qiu Xin smiled.

"No problem, thank you."

Qiu Xin's thoughts were interrupted as soon as the elevator door opened.

I didn't expect such a troublesome thing to happen.

Qiu Xin put his hands in his pockets and left the elevator with a sigh of relief.

It's so cold. Anyway, the first step is to collect intelligence.

"Ok?"

Standing next to the gate was a cadre who didn't know who he was waiting for.

"Ah! It's been a long time no see, young cadre!"

Qiu Xin pretended to be surprised and waved to the cadres waiting at the gate.

"It's so slow... From today on, I will be the recorder of this case. This week, you will tell me all the clues of the case you investigated. If you don't cooperate, I can apply for a replacement at any time. Also, we don't know each other. I hope you will use the word "Long time no see" carefully in the future.

The cadre said with a vicious expression and prepared to leave.

"team leader!"

Not far away, a young man holding a document bag waved in the direction of Qiu Xin and trotted over.

"Ah, Xiao Li, you're here. Have you brought what you wanted?"

"Don't worry, Captain, I've brought all the documents." The young man panted.

"I hope to bring someone from our department to assist in this investigation. Does the cadre have any objections?" Qiu Xin looked at the cadre's face with a smile.

"As long as it doesn't slow down the case process, you can do whatever you want." The officer rolled his eyes.

"My name is Li Wenjie. I'm afraid we'll be getting along for a while this week. Can you tell the cadre your name?" Li Wenjie stretched out his hand and looked at the cadre nervously.

"Zhang Min, please give me some advice." Zhang Min held his hand and said coldly.

"Now that you two know each other, let's talk about the case in general. Xiao Li, please tell me the details of the case."

"Okay, captain." Li Wenjie said and began to flip through the information.

"According to residents of the East Street residential area, they heard screams from the third floor next door at around 2 a.m. last night. Many neighbors thought it was domestic violence at first, but later discovered that there was a large amount of blood and toilet tissue splattered on the balcony window outside the victim's home. One group of residents went to the department to report, and another group went to the victim’s home to prevent the situation from getting serious. But..."

Li Wenjie's hand holding the information trembled slightly and he looked at Qiu Xin while hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong? Cadre Zhang is still waiting. There is no need to worry about anything. I will tell you everything that needs to be said." Qiu Xin said pretending to be impatient.

"Okay." Li Wenjie looked at Zhang Min and whispered,

"But it was too late when the residents arrived at the scene. The victim at home had been killed. His head seemed to have been chopped off with a sharp weapon and his body was missing. The body was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the head rolled into the living room."

"Oh? Are you sure you cut off the head with just one knife?" Qiu Xin asked curiously,

"I'm sure only one knife was used. The appraisal team identified it last night."

Officer Li also showed an expression of disbelief.

"How is that possible?!" Zhang Min became excited immediately after hearing this.

"No matter how sharp the weapon is, how can a murderer cut off the other person's head with just one knife?!"

"It's interesting, but it's not impossible. Cutting off the opponent's head with one knife requires a lot of strength from a person, just like the ancient executioners using a broadsword to execute people. However, it would be very difficult in modern times. Consider the victim. The victim has the ability to resist and evade, and a large knife must be used to cut off the head. It is very likely that this is a professional killing..."

Qiu Xin looked at Zhang Min's face with a smile.

"It shouldn't be possible, Captain? The victim is just a little girl?! The murderer needs to go to war..."

"Ah! Xiao Li, did you make a stupid mistake again?"

"Ugh?"

"No matter how unbelievable the killings are, most of them have causes and consequences. If you only use words like "necessary" and "how is it possible" to deny the possibility of a crime, it will affect the efficiency of solving the case."

After Qiu Xin finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Min, who was pale.

"Ah! Officer Zhang, are you feeling unwell? I feel like you don't look well."

"You just said...the victim is a girl..."

"That's right." Li Wenjie was also very sad when he just learned the news.

"Give me the papers!"

Zhang Min's body was trembling a little and he looked at the document in his hand in disbelief.

"Why...why do you do this..."

Zhang Min looked at the photo of the girl smiling on the file.

"Manager Zhang?"

"Let's go to the scene to confirm."

Zhang Min said expressionlessly.

"That's what Cadre Zhang said."

Qiu Xin's eyes flashed with surprise and then his smile grew stronger.

"Speaking of which, has Mr. Zhang had breakfast?"

Qiu Xin asked, looking down at his watch.

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Zhang Min was obviously interrupted and asked in surprise.

"Yeah! I know there is a good beef soup restaurant on South Street. There are countless people queuing up every morning. Today happens to be a working day, so there may be less people. Why don't you go and try it?"

"No, I plan to go to the Dongjie residential area in a while. If Captain Qiu is hungry, he can eat first and then follow."

After Zhang Min finished speaking, he planned to leave the department.

"You haven't eaten," Qiu Xin said loudly, looking at Zhang Min's back.

"Not eating in the morning is not good for your health, and it may also affect your judgment at the crime scene."

"I..." Zhang Min looked at the heavy snow falling outside hesitantly.

Qiu Xin walked forward and patted Zhang Min on the shoulder.

"My treat, Xiao Li! Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Qiu Xin looked up at the white-grey sky outside and had a premonition that something bad might happen to the originally peaceful county town.
