I caught the murderer

Shen Zheng lit another cigarette, and An Xinyao, who opened the car door and sat in the back seat, immediately protested: "Smoking is harmful to your health, Boss, you've been lighting a bit too frequently recently."

"I don't smoke, so it won't do any harm." Having said that, Shen Zheng put out the cigarette anyway, "It's not all your worries."

"While talking and talking, why is it on us?" An Xinyao said while sorting out the materials, "I won't take the blame for this."

"I said boss, if you are really upset, you should hurry up and talk to Brother Pei. If you get sick, it will be fine. I don't want to visit you in a mental hospital someday."

Shen Zheng didn't respond, and changed the subject while driving: "Have you brought the picture put together by the technical team?"

They are now going to do an investigation near the Garden District to see if any residents have any impression of the suspect.

Even if it is a special case team, the investigation has to be carried out step by step according to the normal procedure. They are just responsible for a special case.

"Of course I did." An Xinyao didn't intend to let Shen Zheng go easily, "Don't change the subject, I found out that you are not in the right state since Brother Pei came to our group."

"Boss, you don't have a spring heart, do you?"

An Xinyao also worked with Shen Zheng for three years, and of course Shen Zheng's recent abnormalities could not escape her eyes.

But she was just making a joke casually, she really didn't expect Shen Zheng to affirm her guess, and his attitude was quite serious: "It seems to have moved."

"Really?!" An Xinyao excitedly patted the back of Shen Zheng's chair, "Can you gossip about why Team Shen is tempted?"

But on this question, Shen Zheng obviously answered very carefully: "Because it looks good."

"Everyone thinks Brother Pei is good-looking." Although An Xinyao was very dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer, Shen Zheng was driving and she didn't dare to mess around. Because Pei Ge's gentle and jade-like gentleman's temperament is really superficial."

Shen Zheng laughed, gentle as jade?He didn't see it at all.

"Superficial is superficial," Shen Zheng didn't refute An Xinyao's words, because he couldn't explain why he was interested in Pei Yuzhou, "Comrade An Xinyao, watch your mouth, or..."

An Xinyao immediately zipped her zipper up: "I just want to share love gossip in real time."

"Impossible." Shen Zheng resolutely rejected An Xinyao's unreasonable request, "Take care of yourself first, and then go to work to fish and be careful not to be caught by your family and go back to inherit the family business."

Shen Zheng's words made An Xinyao tremble in fright: "I promise to handle the case seriously and never touch fish!"

An Xinyao was not a business person since she was a child, and inheriting the family business was not good for her. In contrast, she still likes to stay in the special case team and catch criminals.

The car was quiet again, but Shen Zheng's mood did not calm down without this conversation.

He always felt that Zhao Ju and Pei Yuzhou were hiding something from him.

*

Zhou Xiaojie was a very introverted child, which was slightly different from Pei Yuzhou's guess.

He is obviously a [-]-year-old boy, but he still hides behind the adults like a toddler, with only a small hair twist on the top of his head exposed.

It was his grandma, He Fen, who brought Zhou Xiaojie here. At this moment, she was looking at Pei Yuzhou warily.

She lost her husband in her early years, and her only son died a week ago, and now Zhou Xiaojie is the only thing left in her mind.

Although Pei Yuzhou had a harmless appearance and a pleasing smile, his distinctive eyes still made He Fen feel somewhat conflicted.

Pei Yuzhou squatted down, with a piece of candy lying in his open palm: "Is your name Zhou Xiaojie? Can I give you this piece of candy?"

He has never had much talent for coaxing children, and the principle he pursues is "give it away". It was the case with Sun Jia last time, and it is the same with Zhou Xiaojie this time.

The packaging of the candy is simple but generous, exuding a sweet milky fragrance, it looks delicious at first glance.

An ordinary [-]-year-old boy might sneer at Pei Yuzhou's childish seductive behavior, but Zhou Xiaojie obviously liked it. He poked his head out from behind He Fen, revealing a pair of timid eyes.

Pei Yuzhou raised his head and winked at him. Seeing that He Fen didn't object, Zhou Xiaojie reached out to take the candy and said "thank you" politely.

"Can I talk to you?" Pei Yuzhou asked in a negotiating tone, "I have something to ask you."

Zhou Xiaojie glanced at He Fen again, and then whispered "Yes" like a mosquito.

"Do you know this uncle?" Pei Yuzhou first took out the image spelled out by the technical team. The man on it has a simple and honest face, and anyone would think he is an honest man. "Or, have you met this uncle?" ?"

Zhou Xiaojie's reaction was a little slow, but Pei Yuzhou didn't think he had any intellectual problems, but rather a sign of some early stage emotional disorders.

So Pei Yuzhou didn't urge him, but waited patiently for him to speak.

"Yes." Zhou Xiaojie looked at it for a while before answering, "He often sends things to our house."

"Send something?" Pei Yuzhou repeated, "A courier?"

Zhou Xiaojie reacted a little faster this time: "No, it's the uncle who delivered things from the supermarket downstairs."

Many supermarkets now provide door-to-door delivery services. It seems that the suspect once worked in the supermarket in Lemin District. Pei Yuzhou asked again: "Then do you remember where you bought that bottle of juice? It was also given by this uncle." Did you come home?"

"Well, Dad bought it for Xiaowei." Having said that, Zhou Xiaojie's mood became obviously depressed, "Xiaowei likes to drink this the most."

Pei Yuzhou was a little uncertain why Zhou Xiaojie was depressed, so he tentatively asked, "Then do you like to drink?"

Zhou Xiaojie hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Then why didn't you drink it? Do you know you can't drink it or dare not drink it?"

He Fen seemed to have sensed something was wrong, she took a step to the right, separating Pei Yuzhou and Zhou Xiaojie: "What do you mean?"

He Fen looked down at Pei Yuzhou from top to bottom, trying to make her words sound a little more imposing, but Pei Yuzhou could still see the guilt in her eyes.

There is a secret, but I don't know whether the secret is about Zhou Hao or Zhou Xiaojie.

"It's nothing, it's just a routine inquiry." Pei Yuzhou stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his clothes. "I hope Ms. He will not disturb the police for inquiries."

Because Zhou Xiaojie was only here to assist in the investigation, Pei Yuzhou put the place of inquiry in the special case team's office.

The conversation was temporarily interrupted, Pei Yuzhou pulled two chairs over and signaled the old and the young to sit down: "What do you want to drink?"

"Milk tea or warm water?"

He Fen's tone was blunt: "No, we don't need it."

Pei Yuzhou didn't care too much, took a cup of milk tea from a paper cup and handed it to Zhou Xiaojie: "Be careful it's hot."

But Zhou Xiaojie didn't answer this time. He was sensitive to He Fen's displeasure with Pei Yuzhou, and chose to listen to his grandma.

"I think I can probably guess what you're worried about," Pei Yuzhou casually put the milk tea on the desk, "It's nothing more than the fear that we will bring danger to Xiaojie."

"But have you ever thought about it, if Xiaojie really communicated with the murderer, would the murderer really let him go after the limelight?"

Pei Yuzhou handed He Fen the pictures of the dismemberment case: "You may not know, but he committed another dismemberment case."

"There is no safer place than the police station," Pei Yuzhou paid attention to He Fen's expression, and kept choosing his words, "And as long as Xiaojie doesn't know about the poisoning, he won't be counted as an accomplice."

"Whoa."

The documents in He Fen's hands were scattered all over the place, her eyes widened, her voice trembling: "You... how do you know?"

Of course, it was impossible for Pei Yuzhou to tell the other party that he guessed, so he skipped the topic directly: "Be lenient when confessing and be strict when resisting. Don't harm your grandson."

He Fen's hands trembled, she turned around and touched Zhou Xiaojie's head, her eyes were moist: "This is all retribution."

Then, from Zhou Xiaojie's intermittent narration, Pei Yuzhou put together the puzzle of the poisoning case.

The Zhou family's financial situation was not good before, and it was even worse after having Zhou Xiaojie. In addition, the couple had always been very superstitious, so Zhou Hao and Liu Qian didn't like this son who was like a "disaster".

But Zhou Xiaowei was different. After Zhou Xiaowei was born, Zhou Hao was promoted, and Liu Qian also found a job. Because of this, Zhou Hao and his wife treated their youngest daughter as a "lucky star".

Zhou Hao usually likes to drink, and after drinking, he loses his temper and swears at others. It is Zhou Xiaojie who is often used as a punching bag.

And because Zhou Xiaojie can "keep the family's fortune", Zhou Hao and Liu Qian rarely communicate with him, and Zhou Xiaowei has been instilled with this concept since she was a child, so she and Zhou Xiaojie are not close.

Growing up in such a family environment, Zhou Xiaojie became introverted and inferior and didn't like to go home. Because no one would take care of him, he often stayed downstairs in the community until late.

It was at this time that he met the man named Feng Wei, who was honest and kind, and would often bring Zhou Xiaojie some delicious food.

Zhou Xiaojie, who has never had many friends, naturally regards Feng Wei as his best friend.

The friendship lasted for a month.

About a week ago, Zhou Xiaojie met Feng Wei again, and the other party said that he sympathized with Zhou Xiaojie and wanted to help Zhou Xiaojie take revenge on Zhou's family in a small way.

Feng Wei said that when Zhou's family ordered something in the supermarket downstairs next time, he would send Zhou's family a bottle of expired juice, and told Zhou Xiaojie not to drink this bottle of juice.

Because he believed in Feng Wei a lot, coupled with a little resentment towards his parents and sister, Zhou Xiaojie, who thought that juice would only make people sick, suppressed this matter in his heart.

Until he found three dead bodies in the living room.

No one knew how Zhou Xiaojie was feeling at that moment.

The so-called cause and effect is probably the case.

Before Pei Yuzhou could comfort Zhou Xiaojie who couldn't hold back his tears, his cell phone rang.

"Yu Zhou, go to the Household Registration Section to check for a man named Zhu Jing," Shen Zheng's voice came from the receiver, "He is the man we are looking for, and he used to work as a locksmith in Huayuan District."

——That's why the surveillance video only shows the masked man leaving the community.

Pei Yuzhou looked suspiciously at the old and the young who were crying in front of his eyes.

Zhu Jing?
