dead innocent

Zhou Shiyang's home is in a villa residential area, only a pedestrian street away from Heping Avenue, which is a good place for quietness amidst the hustle and bustle in Yinjiang City.

Yang Kaitai took a taxi and hurried quickly, and bumped into Chen Zhiyang's people in front of the gatehouse of the community.

Chen Zhiyang got out of the car and slammed the door and walked towards him: "Where's Chu Xingyun?"

Yang Kaitai handed his brother a red ticket, and hurriedly let the taxi go without asking for change, saying: "Team Chu has other things to do."

Chen Zhiyang didn't say anything else, he waved to the two criminal police behind him, and walked into the community.

The greenery in the villa area is very good. There are rockery and flowing water, and it is also full of camphor trees and lush flowers.Although it has entered autumn at this time, the sun in the midday is still hot and dry, only the breeze that swings back and forth is mixed with the coolness of autumn.

Yang Kaitai saw a familiar figure on a bench beside a Four Seasons rose garden.

At first, he wasn't sure if the woman sitting on the chair teasing the dog was Qiao Shishi. It wasn't until the woman noticed a group of people approaching her that she turned around and looked over. He then confirmed that she was supposed to be in the police station. Master Qiao who helped Fu Yi collect evidence.

Qiao Shishi squatted beside Qiao Shishi with a big golden retriever, with a naive appearance, panting with his tongue out, Qiao Shishi put his arms around the golden retriever's neck, took off the sunglasses on his face, and smiled at Chen Zhiyang: "Yo, Team Chen, handsome oh."

Chu Xingyun and Chen Zhiyang have a good relationship, and she naturally cannot avoid dealing with Chen Zhiyang, and they have become acquaintances, and they have nothing to do to make jokes.Compared with Chu Xingyun, Chen Zhiyang is much more innocent. He is not as eloquent as Chu Xingyun, and he is not as cunning as Chu Xingyun in his heart, so he is not Qiao Shishi's opponent. Just avoid her in one sentence, and at the same time slander in my heart: how come the people brought out by Chu Xingyun have the same virtue as him.

Chen Zhiyang glanced at Qiao Shishi with respectful eyes, and said the truth: "Not as handsome as you."

Qiao Shishi accepted his compliments unceremoniously, smiling like a picture of a beauty admiring autumn against the background of the bright red Four Seasons Rose.

In fact, Qiao Shishi’s nature is not like this. When she left school and first joined the police force, she was still a relatively young girl. These years, she worked with a group of old men in the field team, and was infected by Chu Xingyun’s abnormality. The assimilation and erosion of sexual personality charm also bid farewell to the carefree years of youth, ignorance and blushing.

Back then, Chu Xingyun could make her blush and run away with just a few words. Now she can fight with Chu Xingyun for three hundred rounds after beheading the enemy bravely and invincibly.

Qiao Shishi blinked at him, pulled down the jacket, revealing a piece of fragrant shoulders, tugged at the hem of the pure white vest, and said, "Huh? Team Chen, couple outfit."

Chen Zhiyang silently wrapped up the leather jacket on his body tightly, tightly covering the T-shirt that collided with her color, and walked past her at a faster pace.

Qiao Shishi shook up the short windbreaker that had fallen off his shoulders, stood up neatly, and pointed at Chen Zhiyang's back with the sunglasses in his hand: "What are you running, we will see each other later!"

"Miss Qiao, why are you here?"

Yang Kaitai walked up to her and helped her remove a few gold-threaded dog hairs stuck to the windbreaker coat.

Qiao Shishi withdrew the unrestrained smile on his face, looked at him with a little worry, then put his arms around his shoulders, and said: "Captain Fu is worried about you, let me come and have a look."

Yang Kaitai lowered his eyes and glanced at his toes, but said nothing.His face was as still as still water, and no emotion could be seen.

Qiao Shishi walked a few steps forward with his arms around him, and suddenly turned around and tickled the big golden retriever who was sitting there, and said, "Come with sister."

Unexpectedly, the golden retriever, with his long hair all over his body, really walked away with her, looking stupid and dumbfounded.

"Whose dog?"

Yang Kaitai asked.

"I don't know. It was squatting on the chair when I came here. It probably belongs to a resident here."

Qiao Shishi bent down and rubbed the golden retriever's head.

"You won't get lost, will you?"

Yang Kaitai was a little worried.

"No, you see it has a badge tied around its neck, and I'll call its owner later."

Going around a small square, the silly golden retriever suddenly became active, bumped into a bush by the side of the path, and then took out a bottle of mineral water from the bush.Then she let go and ran wildly on the sidewalk, towards a villa more than ten meters away.

Chen Zhiyang was standing at the door of the villa, and opposite him was the owner of the villa, Zhou Quliang.

Wearing simple home clothes, Zhou Quliang stood gracefully in front of the wrought iron gate, listening to Chen Zhiyang's speech with concentration and dignity.

The golden retriever who suddenly ran over jumped on him, and while he was talking to Chen Zhiyang calmly, he reached out and touched the golden retriever's neck, then took away the empty bottle that the golden retriever was holding in his mouth, and held it in his hand.

Seeing Zhou Quliang, Yang Kaitai was immediately surrounded by strong guilt.Although Zhou Shiyang's death was not directly related to him, he still couldn't hold his head up in front of Zhou Quliang.

Yang Kaitai was tortured by guilt, and he staggered on his feet, so he didn't notice that Qiao Shishi quietly put down the arm on his shoulder.

"Brother Zhou."

Zhou Quliang nodded, then politely smiled at Qiao Shishi, and asked, "Are you all looking for Shiyang's car?"

Yang Kaitai said: "Well, Team Chu asked me to come and have a look."

Zhou Quliang was silent for a while, the sadness settled in his eyes was like throwing a stone into the already calm sea, the stone quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and was absorbed by the sea, leaving only a circle of shallow ripples.

He folded the mineral water bottle in his hand and threw it into the trash can. He clapped his palms and said, "Then come with me."

There are three cars parked in the garage, a business SUV that Zhou Quliang drives for his daily trips.A 4% new one, like a low-end Puwo that just came back from a [-]S shop.And Zhou Shiyang's Ruitu.

Zhou Shiyang’s Ruitu was parked in the innermost part, and it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time. For the convenience of the police to enter and collect evidence, Zhou Quliang drove the other two cars out of the garage and parked them next to the flower garden in the yard. He usually washes cars at home. place.

Yang Kaitai showed an unusually strong sense of responsibility and sense of belonging to this case. He followed every criminal policeman like a headless chicken, refusing to let go of any clues they found, and monitored the case like a searchlight. This car, and the criminal police who searched this car.

However, this car is indeed a bit suspicious. As soon as Chen Zhiyang approached the car, he saw the seriously damaged front.

Chen Zhiyang squatted down, shattered the headlights with his eyes, glanced at the sunken front of the hood, and then raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Zhou, has this car been driven since September [-]st?"

Zhou Quliang stood outside the garage, not far or near, with a very upright attitude. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "No."

"When did the car hit?"

"I was in Los Angeles the other day and came back and found out the car was scratched. On what date - sorry, I don't know."

Chen Zhiyang walked out of the garage, looked around the yard, and asked again, "Is there a camera in the yard?"

After hearing this, Qiao Shishi, who was squatting on the side teasing the golden retriever, couldn't help but look at the two men standing opposite each other, then sighed softly, and shook his head.

In fact, Chen Zhiyang didn't come here as a coincidence. His intention of coming here turned Zhou Shiyang from a victim to a suspect.Investigating the crimes of a deceased person, regardless of whether he was guilty or not, is a cruel thing for the family of the deceased, and it is tantamount to delivering bad news to them again.

Zhou Quliang is the calmest and most self-cultivated family member of the victim she has ever met. I am afraid that he is the only one who can maintain fairness and calmly cooperate with the police investigation when the deceased relative is facing charges.

Seeing Zhou Quliang take a deep breath, she pressed her eyebrows and said tiredly: "I don't have a camera in my house. If you need it, you can go to the guard room to retrieve the records of entering and leaving the community."

Chen Zhiyang pointed a person to the gate of the community to adjust the surveillance, and then went back to the garage to continue the search.

The golden retriever is crazy by himself, and he became acquainted with Qiao Shishi in a short while, and kept getting into her arms enthusiastically, and when Qiao Shishi was hiding back, he suddenly raised his front paws and threw himself on her.

"Ouch~"

Qiao Shishi wore a pair of Martin boots with high heels today, and was thrown by a golden retriever that weighed over a hundred catties, and immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Dumplings."

Zhou Quliang called the golden retriever seriously, and after calling the golden retriever back, he stretched out his right hand to Qiao Shishi and said, "I'm sorry, Officer Qiao."

Qiao Shishi's bright peach blossom eyes flashed slightly, then he hurriedly looked away from his face, held his palm and stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and asked with a smile: "Is it called dumplings? "

Zhou Quliang took out a tissue from the pocket of his slacks and handed it to her: "Yes."

Qiao Shishi took the tissue, ran it back and forth on his fingers a few times, and asked with great interest, "Why is it called dumpling?"

Zhou Quliang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Shiyang took it. He likes to eat dumplings. When he was studying abroad, he often couldn't eat them, so he named his dog dumplings."

Qiao Shishi felt bitter and wanted to slap himself very much.

Zhou Quliang seemed to see her embarrassment, and thoughtfully and calmly changed the topic to another place: "Can we go to the side for a chat? Officer Qiao."

"Good good."

A grape trellis was set up in front of the flower garden in the yard, and the growth is very good. It can't produce such dense green branches and leaves without four or five years of development.

Under his guidance, Qiao Shishi sat on a wicker chair placed under the grape arbor, and saw a pair of scissors and a bamboo basket made of bamboo strips on the floor tiles, and some cut vines were scattered on the ground.

She suddenly remembered that Zhou Quliang's right hand was supporting her just now, the palm was slightly sweaty, and there was some dirt between the fingers.It seems that he was pruning the grape trellis just now, and he stopped when the police suddenly visited.

Qiao Shishi raised his hand to pick a grape leaf, and his eyes stayed on the tender green leaf veins for a while, his bright eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, she tore off a grape leaf and put it in her mouth. The sour taste of green grass smeared on her tongue, and the irritating mouth felt a burst of bitterness, which made her frown and frown.

Seeing Zhou Quliang walking out of the house, he was still holding a teapot and two teacups.

Qiao Shishi quickly swallowed the grape leaves, then smoothed them along his chest, and finally adjusted his posture.

While Zhou Quliang was pouring tea from the teapot, Qiao Shishi looked at his hands again, and found that his hands had been washed, and there was still moisture on the surface of the skin, and the dirt between his fingers had disappeared completely.At this time, his hands exuded a very faint scent of hand sanitizer, even if it was mixed with the scent of tea, it was still obvious.

Zhou Quliang is indeed careful and gentlemanly. He brewed a pot of jasmine to cater for the taste of women.

Qiao Shishi took the teacup from his hand, looked at the few jasmine flowers floating in the light golden tea, and said, "Thank you."
