remnants

After leaving Mu Xi Ze's house, Nie Qing stayed in the car for a while, unable to think of other places to go.

He doesn't want to go home right now.

I always feel in my heart that once I leave here, the gap between Yu Sheng and Yu Sheng will be fixed, and I can no longer ignore it.

But staying still doesn't seem to help.

Nie Qing waited in the car again, looking out through the wide open car window from time to time, looking up, from here she could see the lights of Mu Xi Ze's living room.

I don't know what is going on with Yu Sheng now.

have you slept?

Is it burning badly?

Does the wound still hurt?

And... Can you recover well without taking medicine?

Just thinking about it miscellaneously, before Nie Qing knew it, there were already four cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray by Nie Qing's hand.When he was about to get the fifth cigarette, he found that the cigarette case was empty.

It was originally a "sober agent" used to stimulate the brain occasionally, but I didn't expect that it has a tendency to develop addiction in the past few days.

Nie Qing knew that this was not good, but his self-control had been stripped from this habit.

There are so many things to consider.If you don't use tobacco to refresh your mind, your mind will always be a foggy, gray and chaotic mass.

A few days ago, he had to admit that he was a bit overconfident when he thought about what he said so swearingly in Nie Shenxing's office.

Said to investigate the previous serial murders and the truth about Fu Mingjie's murder?The truth is still nowhere to be found.

Say you want to find out the details of Yu Sheng?Now that he has touched the edge, he can't do anything.

Nothing can be achieved.

Deep in her heart was a strong sense of depression and frustration, which had been tormenting Nie Qing ever since the night Fu Mingjie was shot.

Maybe he really wasn't the material for a criminal police officer.Self-righteous reasoning and searching, in the end, apart from driving Fu Mingjie, who had already explained the criminal facts by himself, to a dead end, what else did he get?

A few minutes later, Nie Qing suddenly started the car and drove out of the community.

"Hello." He made a phone call while driving, and asked, "Are you in the team?"

"I haven't left yet. What's the matter?" Chi Xiaofei's slightly tired voice came from the bluetooth speaker.

"I'm going to the archives to check something, please approve a note for me." Nie Qing said.

"Okay, come to me directly when you arrive." After Chi Xiaofei finished speaking, the two of them didn't say any more, and hung up the phone together tacitly.

By the time Nie Qing rushed back to the City Bureau, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The criminal investigation hall was still brightly lit, but there were not many people. Except for Chi Xiaofei, there were only two young men and Liu Jinghua in one group.

Seeing Nie Qing coming in, Liu Jinghua got up and greeted him.Nie Qing nodded at him, then walked to Chi Xiaofei's seat.

"Is the note ready?" Chi Xiaofei was concentrating on the case file in front of him, but Nie Qing took a pat on him before realizing he was here.

"Okay." Chi Xiaofei took out a piece of paper with the words "Criminal Investigation Detachment of Pingcheng Public Security Bureau" printed on it from his hand, and handed it to Nie Qing. "What are you looking for?"

Nie Ting listened silently.

Seeing this, Chi Xiaofei couldn't help laughing at himself, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually." After he finished speaking, he sighed, then raised his head and asked, "Are you in a hurry now? If not, let's go out together To breathe?"

Nie Qing looked at him and nodded. "good."

The two of them came out of the office building of the Municipal Bureau together, and walked to a trash can on the side of the building, where there was a place for bombing ash.

Chi Xiaofei shook out two cigarettes, handed one to Nie Qing, and then threw the cigarette case away.

Nie Qing knew that his situation was similar to his own, and that he probably smoked a lot this day, so after thinking about it, he put away the cigarettes in his hand, and conveniently took Chi Xiaofei's cigarette away as well.

"Since you are coming out to breathe, don't smoke yet."

Chi Xiaofei was taken aback for a moment, then sighed again, shook his head and smiled wryly, leaning against the wall, standing with his hands in his pockets and shrugging.

"Do you feel that these two days have been particularly tiring?" He looked up at the sky and asked.

Nie Qing waited for a while before replying, "There are too many things, there is nothing I can do."

"Yeah, there's no way." Chi Xiaofei echoed in a low voice, and said after a while: "You're okay, that's why I'm riding a tiger."

Nie Qing understood what he was talking about, and after thinking for a few seconds, he persuaded: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, things still have to be dealt with one by one. You can be regarded as being ordered in the face of danger. As long as you can seize the opportunity, the road ahead Just go."

"Come on, still seize the opportunity? I just hope that I can get through this period in a safe and sound way." Chi Xiaofei said extremely helplessly.

He is now the new captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Pingcheng Public Security Bureau.

Turning her head to look at Captain Chi, who was blue and tired, Nie Qing couldn't help but sigh silently, raised her arm and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The situation is not that serious, and you don't need to be discouraged. At least this position is the one you want to be in." I want it. Now that I have it, I should be more optimistic."

Chi Xiaofei shook his head after hearing this, "If it was a normal promotion, I would be happy to get this position. But I never thought that it would be done in such a way..." His voice stopped abruptly.

Nie Qing thoughtfully did not look at him.He neither urged him to speak, but kept silent himself.

After a while, Chi Xiaofei seemed to have recovered, and stretched while taking a deep breath.

"Nie Qing, I must investigate the captain's case to the bottom. If this matter is not investigated, I will not be able to sit down in this seat. Although the case has been closed, this matter cannot just go away. I know that you haven't actually put this case down. Why don't we investigate together? This time, no one should be guarded against others, and don't hide it anymore. Once you have any news or clues, share with each other, and strive to solve the case as soon as possible. Case really closed."

Before Nie Qing could speak, Chi Xiaofei added: "Don't worry, I will never hold you back this time. If I need to do anything, I must fully cooperate."

The night was getting dark and the wind was starting to pick up.

Chi Xiaofei's face covered with tiredness combined with the flickering cigarette butts on his fingertips, exuded a chilling aura in the deserted night.

Nie Qing's heart trembled when he saw it.

Yeah, it's not over yet.

Whether powerless or frustrated, these subjective feelings should not be an excuse to prevent him from continuing to find the truth.

The fact that the case has not been clarified can only show that his own work has not been done properly.

Instead of looking at the shadow and lamenting that I lack the ability to be a criminal policeman, it is better to try my best to do everything I can do.If you still get nothing, it's not too late to feel sorry.

"Captain Chi, thank you." Nie Qing suddenly said solemnly.

Chi Xiaofei only thought that he was responding to what he said just now, and hummed, "It should. From now on, there will be no intrigue between the team leaders between you and me. As long as it is for work, I will do my best support."

"I never intrigue with you before." After Nie Qing finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little funny, and couldn't help but chuckle helplessly.

The heavy atmosphere seemed to be instantly relaxed.

Chi Xiaofei shook his shoulders carelessly, and said while exercising his muscles and bones: "Okay, I am the one who intrigues with you, okay? Who made you the prince, I don't want to prevent you from anyone. But I didn't really do anything to you So. Do you say I've interfered with your work?"

Nie Qing smiled, "No."

"This is terrible." Chi Xiaofei also opened the corner of his mouth and yawned loudly. "Can you tell me now, what are you going to check in the archives?"

"Um……"

As soon as Nie Qing hesitated, Chi Xiaofei slapped him on the back. "Look at you, come again?" Chi Xiaofei made an exaggerated expression, "Are you going to hide it?"

"I didn't want to hide it from you." Nie Qing sighed. "I'm just temporarily not sure if this clue is useful. If it's not, there's no need to say it."

"Okay." Chi Xiaofei was surprisingly easy to talk at the moment.He twisted his neck and looked upstairs, and said, "Master Zheng should be on duty in the archives room today. He is easy to talk to. You can just go up there with the note. I still have to smoke one, or I will be in a panic."

"Well, then I'll go first." After Nie Qing finished speaking, he returned the two cigarettes that had just been "confiscated" to Chi Xiaofei, and then turned around and entered the office building alone.

Bright lights can give people some sense of peace of mind.

Nie Qing went up to the third floor and came to the door of the archives room. Sure enough, he saw Master Zheng holding his thick "Criminal Investigation Notes" and reading it carefully.

"Master Zheng," Nie Qing raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, "Can you check something for me?"

When Master Zheng saw him, he smiled kindly and regretfully, "Little Nie, you are here so late. What do you want to check? If you are transferring files, just tell me the serial number. However, some files require The level of authority is higher, and you know this, and you have to ask the higher authorities for approval." Probably because of what happened last time, Master Zheng added the latter sentence on purpose.

"Permission is not a problem." Nie Qing handed over the approval slip signed by Chi Xiaofei. "However, the file I want to check should not be here. I want to ask your help to see if I can find out where it is stored."

"That's it." Master Zheng didn't seem curious at all. After checking the approval slip, he nodded and said: "As long as it is a case that happened in Pingcheng City, we can call up the relevant file location here. Tell me what it is case?"

"On July 501, [-], an accidental fall occurred in the courtyard of the Pingcheng Smelter Factory in Fumin Street, Dongze District. The accident caused two deaths, a man and a woman. The man's name was Fu Bin, and the woman's name was Lin Miaoqing. Details The address is Room [-], Building [-]." Nie Qing said while writing down key information on a blank piece of paper at hand, and handed it to Master Zheng after finishing writing.

Master Zheng put on his glasses, squinted his eyes and frowned for a while, then suddenly asked hesitantly: "Xiao Nie, does this Fu Bin have something to do with Team Fu?"

Nie Qing had no intention of hiding it from him, nodded and said, "Well, he is Dui Fu's father."

"Are you still investigating the previous case?" Master Zheng frowned even tighter.

Nie Qing didn't admit it or deny it this time, he just paused for a while, and then said: "Just do me this favor, I will thank you later."

"Thank you, I don't need it." Master Zheng said softly, "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that I can't guarantee whether I can find it. It's a case that happened 20 years ago, and it's an accident again." , the relevant materials may not be completely preserved. Even if they are preserved, the case will be closed as an 'accident', do you want to find any doubts through this?"

Nie Qing shook his head, "No. I just want to know who the police officer in charge of this case was."

"Oh, then you can inquire about it." Master Zheng said thoughtfully.

"By the way, Master Zheng, if it's convenient, can you help me adjust the file of the '6' action in 29?" Nie Qing asked suddenly, seemingly unintentionally.

However, Master Zheng's expression suddenly became serious when he heard it, and his answer was quite straightforward: "No. This is not something you can see."

Although Nie Qing didn't have high expectations before asking, but he was slightly taken aback when he heard such a decisive reply. "Is it okay if I have Captain Chi's approval note?"

"No." Master Zheng refused again decisively. "His authority is not enough."

Nie Qing was suddenly puzzled.

I didn't expect that at the level of the detachment captain, I couldn't read it.

Seeing that Nie Qing was silent at this time, Master Zheng's expression softened, and he said to him, "Xiao Nie, don't blame me for relying on the old and selling the old. Young people like you should work hard to look forward and walk forward, don't always look back Those things that have little to do with me. Man, don't be too attached to the past."

Nie Qing heard that there was something in his words, and was about to ask in detail, but Master Zheng had already turned around and walked in. "You wait here for a while, I'll see if I can find information about the case of Fu Dui's father."

"Oh... good." Nie Qing had no choice but to agree.

Taking advantage of Master Zheng not in front of him, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Mu Xi Ze: The files on 6 need to be above the captain level to view.Based on this confidentiality level, try again to see if you can find anything?

good.Muxi Ze returned after a few seconds.

Nie Qing thought for a while, then tapped the screen hesitantly for a long time, and finally sent another message: How is Yu Sheng?

Waited a little longer this time.About half a minute later, Mu Xi Ze replied: I just fell asleep after taking antipyretics.

sorry to bother you.

After Nie Qing sent his phone, he knew that Mu Xize would not reply again.

About 5 minutes later, Master Zheng finally walked out of the file room worriedly.Looking up and seeing Nie Qing, he couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

"No, I can't find it anymore. I called the Fumin Street Police Station and asked them if they had archives, but the other party said that it was too long ago, and the address of the police station had changed twice, and some less important files might not be there. take away."

"What about the person in charge 20 years ago?" Nie Qing followed up and asked, "Can you find the list of the police officers who worked in the police station 20 years ago?"

"They can't figure it out for a while. Why don't you go there yourself? Maybe you can gain something." Master Zheng suggested.

Nie Qing nodded, "That's the only way to go. Master Zheng, then I'm leaving, and I'll come back later."

"Hey little Nie! Are you going now??" Before Master Zheng could finish his question, Nie Qing had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"This child..." Master Zheng sighed heavily.

Nie Qing rushed downstairs in three steps at the same time, jumped into the car in the parking lot and quickly lit the ignition, and with a bang of the accelerator, he was out of the city bureau.

Dongze District, Fumin Street Police Station.

He didn't want to wait a moment.
