monologue

The next morning, Wen Ti sent Chu Xingmu to the Public Security Bureau. When Chu Xingmu walked into the office building, he even walked briskly. The guard who arrived earlier than Chu Xingmu saw Chu Xingmu and laughed. He asked, "Good morning, Team Chu, I haven't seen you in the game for a long time."

Chu Xingmu said with a smile: "There was an accident, and I hurried back to work as soon as the injury healed."

As usual, the criminal investigation team did not slack off because of Chu Xingmu's absence, but without Chu Xingmu's supervision and urging everyone's work motivation was not as high as before.

Zhao Chen poured the tea leaves steeped the day before into the lucky bamboo flowerpot, found a ruler and squatted under the lucky bamboo to press the tea leaves into the soil, and sighed: "Usually when the boss is here, he doesn't even dare to be lazy, Why is it that the boss hasn't come to work for more than a week, but we are more diligent than usual?"

Qi Shaocheng hugged a pile of file boxes containing files, and kicked Zhao Chen: "There are still files from last year piled up in the utility room. I don't see where you are so diligent."

Zhao Chen put the ruler on the side of the flower pot and got up and took the file box from Qi Shaocheng's hand. Bai Yao put the case materials that she and Lang Lang had sorted out on Chu Xingmu's desk. Although Xia Ci had already helped Chu Xingmu Mu handled most of the work, but Chu Xingmu's desk was still full.

Tang Zhe took the rag and wiped it all the way from the door to the innermost table, even the window sill.

Xia Ci said, "Why are you so lazy when it comes to cleaning on Monday?"

"It's already March, and it's easy to suffer from spring sleepiness."

"Hey, there are so many people here today? Even the seventh child is not late." All the team members turned to look at the door of the office when they heard the familiar voice. Chu Xingmu stood outside with his briefcase in his arms and looked at them energetically.

Qi Shaocheng and Zhao Chen were stunned for a few seconds, Bai Yao and Tang Zhe quickly put down their work and asked him in surprise, "Captain, is your injury healed?"

"It's not a problem to chase the suspect for five kilometers." Chu Xingmu stepped into the office and walked straight to his desk.

It is Chu Xingmu's style to bring such a big accident with a casual sentence.

Chu Xingmu put the bag on the documents, walked up and down in the office and instructed them to clean the office area carefully again, "The soil on the window sill was not wiped clean, and the wind blows in when the window is opened these days Now, wipe it again quickly."

Tang Zhe hurriedly took the rag to wipe the window sill and glass.

"Zhao Chen, you secretly poured the tea into the lucky bamboo again? Do you think this is a weed on the side of the road? A pot costs thousands of dollars. If it dies, it will be deducted from your salary."

Zhao Chen put down the file box and found a piece of paper to pick out the tea leaves that he poured into the flowerpot one by one.

"Why are the files from the previous year still piled up in this room? Get them out as soon as possible and take them to the file room for filing."

Bai Yao and Lang Lang had just come out of the room where the files were stored, when they heard Chu Xingmu say this, they turned around and went in again.

Qi Shaocheng sat at his work station and watched them busy, Chu Xingmu turned his head to stare at him, Qi Shaocheng quickly put away his expression and stood up and said, "Well, I'll get this year's attendance register."

"Hey, I can't command them without you. I don't have any dignity as the captain." Seeing that Chu Xingmu mobilized their enthusiasm for work in a few words, Xia Ci was not happy.

Bai Yao spoke their minds for everyone: "The captain just came back, we are afraid that he will go to the hospital if he gets angry."

Chu Xingmu returned to his desk and stared at a table of documents, frowned for a while, and glanced behind Xia Ci, and called Tang Zhe and Zhao Chen who were cleaning the window sill to pick tea leaves: "Xiao Tang first Put down the work in your hand and help me move a table, I will feel dizzy when I bend down."

"What table are you moving?" Zhao Chen walked up to him and asked him.

"Change everything on my desk to that desk." Chu Xingmu pointed to the desk behind Xia Ci where Wen Ti had sat before.

Xia Ci asked him in a daze: "You have been sitting here for several years, why did you move to that corner all of a sudden?"

Chu Xingmu turned around with the briefcase, "It's near the window, and it can also replenish calcium in the sun."

Bai Yao asked Lang Lang in the utility room: "Sister Lang, why did the captain change positions?"

"It was Wen Ti's station before." Lang Lang, who had already seen through everything, said so.

Bai Yao suddenly realized, and continued to gossip about Lang Lang: "Sister Lang, Zeng Fan asked you to go to the movies, is she interested in you and plans to develop further with you?"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Yao heard the sound of wheels coming towards them. Xia Ci sat on the office chair and slid to the door of the utility room and asked, "Officer Lang, you and the victim's family have developed a relationship in just a few days. Out?"

Bai Yao looked at Xia Ci in surprise, he could hear it from such a distance.

Lang Lang stood up and said, "Deputy Captain Xia, you don't seem to have the right to interfere in my private life, do you?"

"Zeng Fan was married twice in his 40s, so he is not a serious person at first glance."

"What does it matter to you how many times people get married?"

Bai Yao squatted on the ground holding the files she had sorted out and slowly moved towards the door, finally getting out of the utility room, Chu Xingmu leaned against the wall and asked her, "Why did Lang Lang and Xia Ci quarrel?"

As the main force of gossip in the office, Bai Yao is obliged to answer Chu Xingmu's questions: "Zeng Rongde's case has been solved, and his son Zeng Fan said that Sister Lang worked hard for his father's case. She ate a meal and invited her to watch a movie yesterday, the deputy team felt that Zeng Fan had been married twice and divorced, so he must not be a serious person, and was afraid that he would deceive Sister Lang's feelings."

Bai Yao sighed and said, "But Sister Lang doesn't like Zeng Fan's type, so she's planning to push it away. I think Sister Lang will turn against him when the deputy team says so."

Chu Xingmu glanced at the utility room, Xia Ci and Lang Lang were still arguing inside, so he turned his head and said to Bai Yao, "Strictly monitor their every move, and save Xia Ci first if they fight."

Bai Yao imitated Tang Zhe's habitual movements and scratched her head: "Huh?"

Chu Xingmu turned around to see how his things were moving, "Xia Ci can't beat Lang Lang."

Zhao Chen who was passing by said quietly: "Sister Lang's father is a Sanda coach, and Sister Lang is also the women's Sanda champion. Alas, it's not easy for the vice team."

Bai Yao continued to scratch her head: "Huh?"

Zhao Chen straightened his waist and whispered, "Stupid, the deputy team likes Sister Lang, but he dare not chase after her."

Bai Yao sighed, "Maybe the adult's emotional world is so unpretentious."

"I'll report to Bureau Li and Bureau Wu, please clean up the office quickly." Chu Xingmu took an entertainment magazine out of his bag and put it in his drawer.

The follow-up was that Bai Yao waited outside for a long time but did not see Lang Lang and Xia Ci making a move, and then she was relieved to do other things.

Xia Ci came out of the utility room with a stinky face. Zhao Chen and Tang Zhe had moved all of Chu Xingmu's things there quickly. Chu Xingmu returned from reporting to the two chiefs and sat in front of Wen Ti. Xia Ci was called at the station where he sat, "I have something to ask you."

Xia Ci turned the chair and asked, "What?"

"Has Wen Xiangqin visited you during this time?"

Xia Ci shook his head and said, "He came here once, saying that you asked him to come over to investigate the case of his mother committing suicide by jumping off a building ten years ago. How did you plan this case? Are you still investigating it?"

Chu Xingmu touched his chin for a while, thought for a while and said, "Why did Zhou Jinlin investigate this case back then? Zhong Minglou was persecuted to death by Sun Siyao and others, but he ended the case with suicide. Zhou Jinlin is not so careless." He has never been perfunctory in his investigations, and even the suspects are arrested only when there is enough evidence."

"In this way, Zhong Minglou and Fu Li died in the same year, and they both ended up committing suicide. Wen Xiangqin said that it was his uncle, Fu Li's second brother, who called the police."

"Not Wen's family?"

Xia Ci shook his head: "No."

Chu Xingmu sat up. He heard Wen Ti mention that Wen's Group is a family business, but there are not only Wen's family members in it. Thinking about the development history of Wen's Group in its early years, Chu Xingmu probably understood what was going on.

"This case will not be investigated." Chu Xingmu sat back again.

Xia Ci asked in astonishment: "Didn't Director Wu ask you to investigate?"

"He let me figure it out. Fu Li's suicide was probably due to a conflict of interest between the Wen and Fu families. Most likely, it would not be the police's intervention. Since the files of this case have been burned, let's pretend they never investigated it."

Xia Ci still didn't understand: "What is the relationship between the Fu family and Wen's Group?"

"Wen Xiangqin's parents were in a commercial marriage. At that time, the Fu family's company was facing bankruptcy. After his parents got married, the Wen's Group bought the Fu's company. Not even Fu."

He remembered meeting Xu Ruolin's cousin when he and Wen Ti went to the dentist. Xu Ruolin's third uncle wanted to get into his son-in-law's company, but his daughter was beaten like that and refused to be divorced. Think about it carefully, what is the reason? It can be summed up by the word "interest".

Maybe Zhou Jinlin was thinking about this. The files have been burned for five years and they have not been replaced. No wonder both Wen Ti and Wen Xiangqin wanted to escape from the Wen family. The company is a vampire den. Only by taking a step down can he appease the senior management in the group. If he prefers another one, he doesn't know what will happen.

Chu Xingmu sighed for a long time: "Oh——"

"Why are you sighing, with a salary of a few thousand dollars, you worry about the housework of a company with tens of millions of dollars." Xia Ci muttered and turned back.

Chu Xingmu was worried in his heart. What he was worried about was Wen Ti, who had been criticized for being an illegitimate child. His mother had been missing for more than ten years. His father didn't pay much attention to him and instead kept him at home because of mental illness. His work in the company was definitely not It's so easy to say, and he can coax others at any social gathering, Chu Xingmu can still think of him sitting alone in the conference room and letting those senior leaders rely on his old self in front of him.

In fact, Wen Ti is really helpless in front of those high-level leaders. To put it mildly, he has to call those people uncles or uncles. The mob with unscrupulous goals and means, even Wen Xiangqin is tired of holding a board meeting, let alone Wen Ti.

"Boss, just now Mr. Fu said that you are not clear-headed. You can't even calculate the accounts without going to school. You also treat the company as an entertainment place and come and go whenever you want. Let the chairman stop letting you take care of business matters. You Don't you get angry when you hear it?" Jennifer asked angrily after Wen Ti held the folder in her arms.

Jennifer and Wen Ti just came out of the conference room. Although Wen Ti started to participate in the company's projects, the elders above him didn't want to see him at all, and hurriedly called Wen Ti to question him when he first came to the company.

Wen Ti turned her head and said with a smile: "They are afraid that Wen will fall to Qin Daquan's side. It is better to report the case to Captain Chu than to report to them."

"The chairman doesn't help you either."

Wen Ti looked at the time, stopped and said: "If he speaks for me, the Fu family will hold a board meeting tomorrow to discuss my future, or search the Wen family to see if my father has left any will. For my second uncle's birthday, you and Xue Ning can choose a gift for him."

"Aren't you going to congratulate him face to face?"

"I want to accompany Captain Chu to the hospital for reexamination, and you can make an appointment for Yuan Ruchen for me."

Jennifer trotted back to the office, Wen Ti found an empty corner to send a message to Chu Xingmu, Wen Ti told him that he wanted to snatch the Wen Group back from Wen Xiangqin when Chu Xingmu was in a coma , This sentence is not a joke, Wen Ti's only capital is the 10% of the shares in his hand.

It's much easier to grab something from a psychopath than from a normal person.

Once you get busy, the time must pass quickly. Although Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti have their own busy work, and Chu Xingmu sometimes has to work overtime until ten o'clock in the evening, Wen Ti always arrives at the gate of the Municipal Bureau on time every night to wait for Chu Xing Dusk off work.

A week later, the traffic police team notified Chu Xingmu to pick up the car, and after completing the insurance compensation documents, Wen Ti contacted a friend from a car dealership to send Chu Xingmu's car for repairs.

It has been almost half a month since the accident happened, and neither the traffic police team nor the criminal investigation team have found the hit-and-run driver.

Chu Xingmu knew that the other party was hiding intentionally, even if he was coming for him, he would definitely not show his feet easily. He already had several candidates, but for some reason he had to hold back for the time being. He remembered to check his injuries in his car. Some details of the movements of the person who was rummaging for things, this time Chu Xingmu escaped and survived, there is no guarantee that the other party will not bump into him a second time.

Disguise only changes the appearance, and a person's habitual actions will not be changed at will because of this, for example, the person is used to touching things with his index finger first.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Wen Ti went to the gate of the Municipal Bureau and sat in the car to call Chu Xingmu, asking him when he would get off work. As soon as Chu Xingmu heard that Ti was coming, he hurriedly put the half-read materials on Xia Ci's desk, and finished it Immediately ran downstairs, Xia Ci scolded him angrily, Chu Xingmu didn't even look back.

"Wen Ti cares too much about the boss. Ever since he was injured, Wen Ti has come to pick him up every night. Why don't I have such a good brother, or else I don't know how to ride a bicycle for more than ten years." Qi Shaocheng held The teacup stood at the window and looked towards the gate, "The service is so thoughtful, the boss doesn't even have to open the car door by himself."

Xia Ci said: "Your bicycle was paid for by Wen Ti, didn't you take advantage of others?"

Qi Shaocheng almost threw away the cup when he heard that, "Wen Ti paid for the bicycle?"

"You never knew?"

"The boss never told me."

His bicycle was passed down from his grandfather, and it will be sent to the scrap factory in a few years at most, but the one Chu Xingmu gave him is exactly the same as the original one, and it is custom-made according to the original style without thinking. Maybe he can pass it on to his grandson in the future.

"This kid is really not simple." Qi Shaocheng said with a pout.

"There aren't many cases recently, so you should get off work early and go home, maybe next time you'll have to go on and on for a few days." Xia Ci said after packing up her things.

Although the temperature in March has risen a lot, it is still necessary to wear more clothes when going out at night, especially in remote areas where there are few people and cars, and even a staggering drunk knows to go home quickly.

After ten o'clock in the evening, a group of people gathered in front of a restaurant on Xiaochong Road. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. The driver delivered the other party home safely, then turned around and greeted other customers, obviously suffering from stomach cramps from drinking too much alcohol, and yelling that we will meet again next time.

After sending most of the people away, he vomited on the trash can by the side of the road. Seeing that there seemed to be blood in his vomit, the female secretary at the side bought him a bottle of water and handed him a few tissues. , couldn't bear to say: "Director Cong, why don't you go to the hospital?"

The middle-aged man waved his hands and stood up after rinsing his mouth, "No, I'll just go home and get some sleep. You should go back early too, and be careful on the road."

The female secretary nodded, and asked uncomfortably, "Can you go back alone? Do you need to call a car for you?"

Cong Gang forced a smile and said: "My house is two blocks away, and I can go back in 10 minutes. Try to arrange the entertainment tomorrow in the evening."

"Okay, then I'll go home first."

Watching the female secretary get into the taxi, Cong Gang rolled up the tissue that had wiped his mouth and threw it into the trash can, clutching his stomach and staggeringly left the restaurant.

Although it was not late at night after ten o'clock in the evening, due to the unstable temperature rise, it was still extremely cold at night. Cong Gang broke out in a cold sweat because of stomach cramps. He closed his coat and covered his stomach and crossed a road, wanting to see Is there a pharmacy open nearby, so I can buy some medicine for temporary relief.

At this time, he saw a person running into an alley not far away. This road was the only way he had to go home, and robbery accidents often occurred in remote areas. mentality, he just glanced at it from a distance, turned and walked into the pharmacy.

Coming out of the drugstore and passing the alley, Cong Gang unconsciously became alert, because the alley is very deep and there are few people living nearby, Cong Gang took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to take a picture in the alley. There was nothing on the wet pavement path. He turned off the flashlight and took the phone in his hand, ready to continue home.

But when he took a step, he suddenly heard small noises and faint exclamations and groans from the alley, Cong Gang stopped suddenly, and the coolness climbed over his head, making him awake instantly. At least, normally he would have turned around and left after hesitation. This time, perhaps because of drinking, Cong Gang boldly walked into the alley with his hand covering the light of the flashlight.

The alley is actually a small path vacated by the buildings on both sides. Cong Gang followed the sound and walked to the door of an abandoned carport. The door of the carport was half closed, and the sound came from the carport.

Cong Gang approached the carport with breathless concentration, but the people in the carport were startled by the flashing flashlight. When Cong Gang wanted to find a tool nearby to open the door, the door of the carport opened suddenly in the dark, and a black figure took advantage of it. When Cong Gang turned around, he rushed over. Cong Gang clenched his mobile phone and slammed it at the other party. With a "chuck", Cong Gang felt his arm go numb and then lost consciousness, and the person who attacked him from behind had long since disappeared. trace.

Cong Gang reluctantly picked up the phone, glanced at his arm through the light of the screen, and found that his arm had been cut deeply. He didn't care about stopping the bleeding and hurriedly held up the phone and staggered to push the carport door. The place illuminated by the flashlight was covered with blood. The dust was stained red, and a girl who looked young was lying motionless on the ground, her neck was still bleeding, Cong Gang let out an exclamation and sat down on the ground.

At around twelve o'clock in the morning, three or four police cars and ambulances stopped at the alley of Xiaochong Road.
