Linzhou Municipal Bureau

Chapter 61: Autumn Rainy Night

Today is actually Saturday, and Quan Yifeng rushed home after finishing the work of closing the case in the bureau at noon.He discussed with Ji Lian that as long as there is no work on weekends, he will go home and exercise with Ji Jing.

Every time he takes Ji Jing out to play, it is actually a rare relaxation for Quan Yifeng.There are no cases, no victims, no suspects, the sky is bright and the country is safe and peaceful.But Ji Lian could tell that this sweaty big boy was a little absent-minded today.

In Linzhou at the end of September, Ku Xia’s overwhelmingly hot make-up was inadvertently faded away. The daytime was still sunny and sunny, but after dinner, it began to rain lightly.

Quan Yifeng walked from the kitchen to the living room, picked up the car key on the side cabinet of the sofa and shook it in his hand, with a rare hesitation in his tone, "I have something to take care of."

"Well, you go. Come back early." Ji Lian's answer was unexpectedly straightforward.

Quan Yifeng couldn't help but looked up at him blankly for two seconds, but couldn't see anything wrong from his eyes.

Ji Lian stood up from the sofa and walked to the entrance with Quan Yifeng. He patted Quan Yifeng's shoulders lightly with both hands, then picked up the windbreaker hanging on the hanger in the entrance and handed it to him, saying: "Maybe at night The temperature will drop a little, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Quan Yifeng put the windbreaker on his hand, didn't say anything, just nodded, and walked out of the house.

Ji Lian went to the bathroom to take out the washed clothes from the washing machine, and carried the clothes basket to the balcony.Through the glass of the balcony, he looked thoughtfully at the back of the car leaving downstairs.

From the window sill of someone’s house, there is a song that is suddenly popular at the end of September every year:

Summer has come and passed

Theinnocentcanneverlast

WakemeupwhenSeptemberends

……

Under the thin rain curtain in the suburbs, Quan Yifeng knocked on the door of Zhen Ming's house.

The moment Zhen Ming opened the door and saw Quan Yifeng, his heart tightened, but he couldn't help feeling more relieved.

"Mingming, who is that outside?" There were two or three people talking in the room, the man's deep voice, the woman's occasional sobs, it might be Zhen Ming's family members and Liu Ziyu's parents next door.

The lighting in the living room was dim, the TV was muted, and the flickering light hit the white walls and ceiling.

Zhen Ming turned his head to look into the room, his eyes dimmed instantly.He lowered his head, as if he didn't know how to speak to his mother, but he heard the police officer outside the door put his head into the door of his house and said, "Hello, auntie. I'm Zhen Ming's friend. I'm here to have a drink with him." cup."

Zhen Ming looked at Quan Yifeng in surprise, with an expression of disbelief, "Officer Quan, who is this?"

Quan Yifeng lifted the jug of beer in his hand, shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Let's talk?"

Zhen Ming's house is a small building with two and a half floors.He took Quan Yifeng up to the top floor, where half was an empty small house and half was an open-air terrace.The family doesn't come up very often. There are grapevine trellises and two guava trees on the roof.

The roof of the small house is tiled, and the raindrops fall on the tiles, making a tinkling sound.Quan Yifeng took the screwdriver from Zhen Ming and opened two bottles of beer, one for each person.They sat on low stools by the open door of the small house, sipping wine slowly while looking at the fish pond not far from the rain curtain.

"I've been with Ziyu since the beginning of my career." Zhen Ming wiped the beer froth from the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to look at the flat roof of the neighbor on the left, "When we were young, we often passed this building next to each other. For us, our two families actually live together. When we grow up, we don’t climb the wall. People say we are boyfriend and girlfriend, but for me , Ziyu is not only my girlfriend, she is also my relative, a relative who is closer than my parents or husband and wife."

The two of them were silent for a long time, only the sound of the falling rain washing against the eaves was left in the sky and the earth.Quan Yifeng's bottle of beer ran out, so he opened another bottle.

"I didn't protect her well..." Zhen Ming buried his head in his chest, and there was a burst of anger in his voice.He hugged his arms, and the back of his right hand holding the wine bottle was full of veins because of too much force.

Quan Yifeng pinched the neck of the wine bottle, and lightly touched the threshold with the bottom of the bottle.He looked at Zhen Ming and said, "You are a very persistent person. Your persistence finally protected her."

"I've lost her forever..." Zhen Ming hugged his arms and shed tears silently for a while, then raised his head slightly, his eyes were red, "But I'm still very grateful to you, thank you for showing up in time and upholding justice for Ziyu."

"You are aware of your own merits. But," Quan Yifeng sighed, "I can only say that the technique was not proper."

Zhen Ming wiped away the tears all over his face, and asked calmly, "How did you know it was mine?"

"Yeah, why is that? Probably your Ziyu is manifesting in the sky?" Quan Yifeng didn't know why he made such an untimely joke.

"Is it the intuition of an excellent criminal police officer?" Zhen Ming looked at Quan Yifeng, with a little bit of admiration besides sadness in his eyes.

Quan Yifeng took out a crumpled courier slip from his trouser pocket and spread it out. Under the 15-watt energy-saving light bulb, the words "Zhen" and "wig" could be vaguely seen on the courier slip.He said: "When I was surveying the site, I found it next to the trash can in the alley. It was probably missed by the workers who cleaned up the trash. Sometimes things are just so coincidental."

"Yes, I really can't find any evidence, but I know that Ziyu's disappearance must be related to the three of them. I can't think of any other way to make them honestly confess their evil deeds. I just want to scare them. It’s also good to scare them. I know that the three of them, especially Liu Chenxing and Yang Chenghao, often fool around in the town until midnight. Because every time they drink alcohol and return to the village in the middle of the night, they have to pass by this street in front of our house. An alley, noisy and restless.

It was easy for me to get the long white dress that Ziyu often wore.It's a bit embarrassing to say, I'm a big man, and I can easily wear a girl's skirt, and my body is too small to be so useless.Following Ziyu's hairstyle, I bought that wig online.This attire, coupled with the fact that the street lights in the alley are not particularly bright at night, might give people who feel ashamed of Ziyu the illusion.I think, if Liu Chenxing and the others really have ghosts in their hearts, they will definitely be able to scare the shit out of them, or at least leave a psychological shadow on them.

It's just that I didn't expect that they happened to drive back that day.

When I saw them screaming and driving the car into the pond, I had mixed feelings.I am very sad, but of course it is not for them, but for my Ziyu.At that moment, I knew that I would never see Ziyu again.I locked myself in my room for two days until yesterday noon when I heard a noise outside the window. "

Zhen Ming finished the story in one breath and drank the beer to the bottom.He took the second bottle from Quan Yifeng, pursed his lips, and continued: "If I really need to be responsible for this matter, for the sake of social justice, I will not shirk and say that I was just casually scaring them. What."

The long autumn rain did not know when it turned into a torrential downpour, as if it wanted to use such rage to wash away all traces of filth on the earth.

What lay between the two on the rooftop was a longer silence.

"When I was a child, I was only concerned with being the king of children. I relied on making troubles and fighting to maintain justice all day long. I didn't even care about studying and learning the truth. Now I am doing the job that is closest to justice and at the same time the closest to crime, but If you ask me what justice is, I can't answer it." Quan Yifeng sneered at himself like a self-deprecating sneer, and didn't make a sound, just letting his alcohol-smelling breath spray on the back of his hand.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk about big things, but I have rarely been so conflicted in my heart. Let's put it this way, I can't tell you that you are doing well, but I really want you to understand , it was your own insistence that indirectly made the truth of the matter come to light, and more importantly, kept Liu Ziyu from dying in ignorance. It was you who gave her her final rest."

Zhen Ming's tears fell again and again.He raised the wine bottle and touched the bottle in Quan Yifeng's hand with the neck.

"Officer Quan, thank you for Ziyu." Zhen Ming opened his mouth first, drank the wine in the bottle, and said, "Respect love."

"Respect justice."

Quan Yifeng also drank the wine in the bottle, frowned, looked at the torn sky and said.

It was just after one o'clock in the morning when I got home.

Quan Yifeng opened the door and saw that the floor lamp next to the sofa in the living room was still on.The warm yellow light was dimmed, and under the light was Ji Lian's sleeping face with his forehead propped up on his arms.

Ji Lian woke up to the sound of Quan Yifeng's tiptoe entering the door.He watched in a daze as Quan Yifeng took off his coat, walked over and sat next to him on the sofa, reeking of alcohol.

"I came back late. It's always hard to find a driver on a rainy night."

"Just come back, wash up and go to sleep." Ji Lian took a deep breath and tried to pull himself together.

"I was looking for Zhen Ming just now."

"Ok, I know."

"My Professor Ji Da, how can you be so smart?" Quan Yifeng said softly while breathing heavily, not sure if it was emotion or pure drunken nonsense.

"I understand what you mean. You can keep silent about that boy's unintentional mistake, but you can't just ignore his situation," Ji Lian put his hands on Quan Yifeng's head, and he let him go Mao sighed softly, "None of us want to encounter a tragedy like Fan Daoyang again."

In an old and dilapidated residential complex, in the wet early autumn night, the melancholy song is still floating in the windows of some house:

Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming whowear

Asmy memory rests

But never forget what ILost

WakemeupwhenSeptemberends.

The farewell to September came quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the first week of October seemed to be over.The Criminal Investigation Brigade was troubled by the case of the floating corpse in the reservoir that was brought back to the original point, and had no clue, but suddenly received an unexpected news at noon this day, which almost shocked every team member's jaw.

Director Pang from the DNA Office of the Municipal Bureau called and said that the DNA samples they sent thirteen days ago, when they were looking for the source of the corpses floating in the reservoir, had just been successfully matched with the DNA samples sent over last night.

"You mean to say that Liu Chenhao's DNA is exactly the same as that of an 8-year-old boy who was seriously injured and died early this morning!?"
