remnants

The personnel of the inspection team are collecting evidence inch by inch in the room.

In the bathroom, He Tian's body had been lifted out of the bloody bathtub and placed on a blue plastic sheet on the tiled floor.

Because the deceased was completely naked, out of respect for the deceased, the police took another opaque plastic sheet to cover her exposed lower body.

It's just that the upper body of the deceased and the lower part of the thighs were naked|exposed. After the blood on the surface of the body was wiped clean, the skin showed a bleak paleness after being soaked.

And against this pale backdrop, the dark red wound about two centimeters wide on her left chest looked even more glaring.

Chi Xiaojing squatted beside the corpse, with a forensic toolbox in hand, holding a pair of tweezers and a pair of small scissors in each hand, and was carefully examining He Tian's mouth and nose.

Luo Qi stood behind her and watched her movements carefully, trying to learn something, but couldn't quite understand.

In fact, he still held back his stomach and wanted to ask Nie Qing, but it's a pity that Nie Qing is not here at the moment.

He was called away by Fu Mingjie just now.

In Palm Tree Camp Community, downstairs of Building No. [-], Nie Qingzheng and Fu Mingjie were standing face to face on the edge of the lawn beside the building.

Fu Mingjie's face was as cold as frost, and he stared straight at Nie Qing.Nie Qing didn't avoid it either, her eyes met his, and she also stared back straight.

The two had been standing here for almost 5 minutes, but neither of them was in a hurry to speak, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.

However, time passed bit by bit, and the surroundings gradually filled with the noise of children who had just finished dinner and went downstairs to have fun, as well as the chatter of middle-aged and elderly grandparents sitting on the bench beside them, and the sound of driving from the community. There was a "click, click" sound of the cars coming in and out pressing on the manhole cover of the sewer... But Nie Qing and Fu Mingjie were still very quiet here.

It was as if there was an invisible golden bell, separating the two of them from the lively environment around them.

After a few more minutes, Fu Mingjie finally couldn't help it, and said to Nie Qing with a livid face, "Is there nothing you want to explain to me?"

"There are several things that need to be explained. You need to give me a clearer instruction." Nie Qing looked at him intently.

Fu Mingjie held his breath in his throat, and held it for a few seconds before he snorted forcefully, "I think you are getting better and better. Others praise you for Ju Nie's sake, don't take yourself too seriously. thing."

"Where did the captain come from? I have never taken myself too seriously." Nie Qing said calmly.

Fu Mingjie raised his eyebrows, and he could tell that he was suppressing his anger: "You still don't take yourself seriously? You almost don't see me as the captain anymore! Let me ask you, you were asked to set up a task force to investigate the case Useful, what are you doing to check on me?!"

"I am indeed investigating the case. I will not let anyone who is suspected of a crime go away."

"Suspected of a crime?? Nie Qing, you say I'm suspected of a crime? Are you crazy!" Fu Mingjie's face flushed red with anger.

However, Nie Qing still said calmly: "Captain, my suspicions are all well-founded. If you are willing to calm down and listen to me, I am willing to tell you the reasons why I doubt you."

"Oh, I think you have nothing to worry about." Fu Mingjie sneered, "Okay, tell me, I want to hear what you can tell me."

"En." Nie Qing nodded, and then under Fu Mingjie's increasingly cold eyes, he expressed his previous speculation about the leak inside the criminal police team and his suspicions about the four people including Fu Mingjie. .

After speaking, there was another awkward silence.

Nie Qing lowered his head slightly and waited quietly, while Fu Mingjie looked at the three children who were circling around them, treating them as pillars, and waited for two or three minutes before he asked, "Since you There are four suspects, why did you only send Luo Qi to follow me?"

"Because among these four people, you are the most suspicious." Nie Qing replied very directly, "Captain, if it's just leaking secrets, then all four of you are indeed suspected of committing a crime. But if committing a crime is also involved, then Yang Zhengdong At the time of the case, you were the only one who had time to rush to No. 227, Wenhua Road, Funing County, to kill him."

"You nonsense!!" Fu Mingjie seemed unable to suppress the anger in his chest, and could only relieve it by pacing quickly. After going back and forth a few times, he suddenly stood still in front of Nie Qing, his eyes seemed to stare at him It seemed extra sharp, and said sharply: "Nie Qing, when you were in the police academy, did no one teach you that you need a motive to kill?? You actually suspect that I am the murderer? Then tell me, why do I want to kill? these people?!"

"I'm still investigating the motive, but it will be clear soon, and I will tell you when the time comes." Nie Qing paused, "And, I haven't identified you as the murderer yet, otherwise I wouldn't be so open and honest I'm just skeptical to talk to you."

"You dare to send someone to stare at me just because you have doubts? Then if you are convinced, you can't just handcuff me?!" Fu Mingjie couldn't hide his anger.

Nie Qing moved his gaze away from him a little bit, "Captain, I really hope that when the truth is finally found out, I will find out that I have wrongly blamed you. If that is the case, I am willing to accept all your disposal."

"Then you should be ready." Fu Mingjie gave him a cold gouging look, "We will settle the score when the truth is found out and you are proved to be wrong. At that time, I don't care whose son you are, what to say, It should be counted, we must break it down and understand."

"No problem." Nie Qing looked up at him, with a hint of sadness hidden in his eyes.

Hopefully it's not you.Nie Qing thought silently in her heart.

But Fu Mingjie had already turned around and walked towards the door of the building, he had no intention of waiting for Nie Qing to join him, so Nie Qing could only quicken his pace to follow. When he took the elevator upstairs, he felt that the air in the elevator was about to freeze.

After finally returning to the 32nd floor, Nie Qing had just stepped into the door of Room 3201. Luo Qi, who was in the bathroom of the master bedroom, rushed out as if he had sensed it. When he saw him, he shouted: "The team leader, come quickly! Jing has found something here!"

As soon as Nie Qing heard it, she walked over quickly, went into the bathroom and asked, "Xiaojing, what did you find?"

Chi Xiaojing raised her head after hearing his voice, her face was quite serious, "Nie Qing, I checked the wound just now, and the wound on the chest should be fatal. In addition, based on the size and shape of the wound, it can be preliminarily determined that the murder weapon was Sharp knives such as folding knives, and the model is very similar to the one that killed Dean Su, it is very likely to be the same kind."

"That means..." Nie Qing's gaze sank.

Chi Xiaojing nodded slightly, "Although I did not participate in the autopsy of Bai Zhang, Qiu Ruimin and Yang Zhengdong, but comparing the wounds on Dean Su's body before, I think it is very likely that the same person did it. "

Nie Qing nodded silently after listening, and lowered her head in thought.

Seeing this, Chi Xiaojing continued: "Group Leader Nie, I request that Director Su and I do the autopsy this time. One person's opinion may be biased, but if two people work together, it will Some subjective assumptions can be corrected. Director Su has already handled three corpses of the deceased in this serial murder case, and I have only been in charge of the first one. It is necessary for the two of us to exchange information and opinions. You What do you think?"

"You're right." Nie Qing agreed, "It's time to collect the information. I'll go and contact the secretary."

"Hmm." Chi Xiaojing looked down at the corpse again, paused for two seconds, and said seriously: "Director Su and I will complete the autopsy process together. After the end, we should be able to confirm the murderer and the serial murder case this time." Is the murderer the same?"

"Okay, hard work."

After Nie Qing finished speaking, he was about to turn around and call Su Ji, but Fu Mingjie stood at the bathroom door and interjected coolly: "Yes, just confirm that today's case is the same as the murderer of the serial murder case. One, I can be cleared of my suspicions with Team Leader Nie."

"...captain." Nie Qing didn't expect Fu Mingjie to speak out in front of everyone, knowing that he wanted to make himself unable to step down in public, she couldn't help but sigh silently.

"What's the matter, dare to do it or not?" Fu Mingjie looked at him, "Should Team Leader Nie tell everyone what you have done today and what you are suspicious of?"

"Captain, I know you are dissatisfied with my actions, and I also admit that I have done things inappropriately, but we are criminal police after all, and we must not disregard principles when we speak and act." Nie Qing's mind has stabilized, a little helpless Looking at Fu Mingjie lightly, his tone was unquestionable, "What I did today, no matter whether it was proper or not, was to investigate the case. As the team leader directly appointed by the bureau to be in charge of this serial murder case , I have the right to keep the relevant information of the case confidential, and I also have the right to ask you not to disclose any information to the outside world."

"Hehe. Is that right? Nie Qing, Nie Qing, you are too arrogant." Fu Mingjie sneered.

Nie Qing remained expressionless, "I'm sorry, I offended you, and I'll apologize to you later."

"No need, I can't bear your apology." Fu Mingjie said, he flicked his sleeves, put his hands in his trouser pockets and strode out.

"Luo Qi." Nie Qing glanced at the stunned young man beside him.

"Eh? Hey!" Luo Qi came to his senses instantly, and quickly followed Fu Mingjie out the door.

And the other police officers at the scene were all taken aback by the sudden outburst between Fu Mingjie and Nie Qing just now.

In their impression, the relationship between Fu Mingjie and Nie Qing has always been good. Fu Mingjie may have looked after Nie Shenxing's face, and has taken good care of Nie Qing since he entered the Criminal Investigation Detachment.And Nie Qing has always respected this immediate boss, and never contradicted or quarreled with him.What's wrong this time?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with doubts and incomprehension written in their eyes.

However, Nie Qing didn't explain much about the reaction of the crowd. He just glanced around and calmly said, "Keep working, finish your work early and call it a day."

"Yes!" "Yes..." "Okay." The big guys responded in a random manner.

Nie Qing pretended not to see their faces trying to find out the truth, turned around and walked to the window of the living room, when he was about to call Su Ji, a call came in suddenly.

Caller ID is "Yu Sheng".

Nie Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly connected the phone and said, "Hello, Asheng."

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng was in a mess, and his voice sounded distorted, "Is it convenient for you to come over now?"

"I may not be able to leave here for the time being... What's wrong? Are you okay?" Nie Qing asked uneasily.

"I'm fine..." Yu Sheng's voice cut off again, and when Nie Qing picked it up again, he could already hear the reluctance in his voice, "It's an accident at the hospital... Ma Weiyuan was attacked by someone, but luckily it was only lightly assaulted." Injury, not life-threatening..."

"...What about you? How are you??" Nie Qing felt her heart tighten in an instant.

Yu Sheng paused, and then Nie Qing heard the person on the other end of the phone chuckle twice, but before he finished laughing, he coughed again, and coughed several times before he stopped.

"Ah Qing...don't scold me after you hear this..." Yu Sheng said in a flattering voice, "I seem to have lost the lottery again..."
