Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

The next day, Nie Cheng called Zhang Jieming and told him that Jiang Zhun had been taken to his home to take care of him, and that they would not be there to take care of him these days.

Zhang Jieming saw that the two captains got back together, and saved himself the embarrassment of being at a loss in front of Jiang Zhun. He was so happy that he stood up suddenly on the other end of the phone, as if Nie Cheng was standing in front of him, talking on the phone while talking in the air. Thanks again and again, and repeatedly said that if he needs help, he will definitely be on call.Through the phone, Nie Cheng could also think of Zhang Jieming's sincere expression at this time, saying that he would not be polite to him.

In fact, for Nie Cheng, living with Jiang Zhun is far less troublesome and uncomfortable than Zhang Jieming imagined, and he will not feel disturbed. Instead, he can see people when he returns home, which saves him a worry.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would have to work overtime the next day when Jiang Zhun came to his house. He didn't rush to the locker room to change into his regular clothes until seven o'clock. He bought two rice bowls and two millet porridge in the cafeteria. Hurry home.

When he got home, the living room was on with the light on. Jiang Zhun was leaning between the back of the sofa and the armrest, facing the porch, with his injured right leg resting on the sofa, and his left leg bent beside the sofa with a slipper on. He was on the phone with someone. It's about work.When he heard the doorbell, he responded to the question on the phone, but he craned his neck long ago, watching Nie Cheng put the key in the small box above the side cabinet in the entrance, glanced at him, and went straight in. out of the kitchen.

After the phone call ended, Nie Cheng happened to come out to hang up his coat, and asked him, "Isn't it uncomfortable to sit like this?"

"It's okay." Jiang Zhun said.In fact, it was the most comfortable among the several positions he had tossed about all afternoon.

"I'm busy today. It was seven o'clock when I looked up, and I didn't send you a message. Are you hungry?"

"A little bit, you bought it from the cafeteria?"

"Correct."

"Okay, try your canteen. Some time ago, after the pork in the canteen of the sub-bureau was replaced with beef, I think the taste has declined." Jiang Zhun said.

He moved himself to the dining table as usual, and Nie Cheng moved the donburi rice and millet porridge in the lunch box to a bowl, reheated it and brought it to the dining table.

Jiang Zhun said that he wanted to comment on the food at the Rongguangli police station, but his phone kept vibrating after he took a few bites. He was typing quickly with chopsticks in one hand, and his chewing movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely. Not on the meals.

Seeing that the food was cold and Nie Cheng's bowl was empty, he got up and took away two dishes. Jiang Zhun finally came back to his senses, looked at him in astonishment, and said, "I haven't finished eating yet."

"I'll warm it up." Nie Cheng said.

"Oh, good." Suddenly, Jiang Zhun smiled apologetically.

As the captain of the criminal investigation, even if he is not in the bureau, he has a lot to deal with and care about. For example, they still have a major unsolved case in their hands.He smacked his teeth several times against the screen of the mobile phone, the injury was too inopportune.

But the guy who injured him was successfully captured by him. Wu Ze led people to interrogate him overnight. This guy is an old fritters. The clues and stories in this book have a big reversal at the end and turn into a lot of nonsense.Jiang Zhun just watched these nonsense for a whole day, and in the afternoon, he would call or video call Wu Ze from time to time, advising him how to put pressure on him, how to let him reveal his secrets, and then break his psychological defense line, and finally pry something out of his mouth .

Staring sorely at the screen, Nie Cheng handed him the towel, he thanked him and wiped it casually, Nie Cheng waited beside him for a while, seeing that there was nothing to help, he went to take a bath by himself.When he was helped back to the room, he complained a few words, and Nie Cheng also urged him to make an appointment with the doctor who came to change his medicine earlier at this time, which was the communication between the two of them in a day.

Tonight, they washed up and got into bed before ten o'clock, so that they could experience the healthy life like the sunset in advance.

All the lights outside the bedroom were turned off, and there was only an eye-protecting desk lamp on the writing desk in the bedroom. At this time, it was adjusted to a warm orange color, and the brightness was still the brightest.Because the bedside table was inconvenient for Jiang Zhun to support crutches or sit in a wheelchair, they turned their heads toward the aisle and punched the headboard with their feet.The desk lamp is on the edge of the desk. Nie Cheng doesn’t need to get out of bed. He can turn off the lamp by straightening up and stretching his hands. He looked at his phone for a while and waited. Seeing that Jiang Zhun didn’t intend to sleep, he suggested: “This desk lamp is rechargeable. Yes, let me put it in your hand."

Jiang Zhun looked at him in his busy schedule and said, "OK."

Nie Cheng put the lamp on the ground in front of Jiang Zhun, and was about to go to bed when the phone rang suddenly, and the screen showed that the caller was Li Mu.

At this time... Nie Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

When the phone was connected, Nie Cheng said, "Hello, Captain Li..."

Before they had time to exchange pleasantries, Li Mu confirmed through his voice that he was on the other side of the phone, and then went straight to the point and said, "Wei Yuan is dead."

Didn't Wei Yuan die in...his custody?Nie Cheng was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily propped up his body cross-legged to do a good job, and began to digest this matter.

Although they are not the first batch of pilot cities of the Supervisory Committee, they have been listed after them and have officially started their work. It is said that the inspection team will come after a while, and there will be no small problems if there is a problem at this gate.

No wonder Li Mu is so anxious, not only tonight, but during this period of time, I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep.

"I'll go over now." Nie Cheng said.

He involuntarily became serious, causing Jiang Zhun, who was lying on the pillow, to stop tapping and look back at him.He has been in the police force for many years, and he can smell the changing situation even thousands of miles away. He can tell from Nie Cheng's tone that something has happened, and it is serious.So he lowered his head and quickly finished his work, locked the screen, turned sideways, and focused on his side with his head resting on one hand.

Nie Cheng looked at his eyes and signaled him not to worry. He heard Li Mu say in an irritable tone, "No, I can't ask you now. Get a good sleep tonight, and you don't have to go to Rongguang tomorrow." , I will greet you, you come to me early in the morning to report, I will be busy later."

He answered "OK" and hung up the phone.He didn't ask much, and didn't persuade much, he knew that the current Li Mu couldn't listen to other words that had nothing to do with the case.

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhun asked.

"Wei Yuan is dead."

Jiang Zhun's pupils dilated, and he said in surprise: "Dead?" He frowned again, "The case has not been pronounced, and he is still in the detention center... This is terrible." He sighed with sympathy for his front-line colleagues.

Now the detention center must be full of people, and the relevant staff of the prosecution and even the leaders have to rush over, and immediately notify Wei Yuan's family.When they thought of the sick old lady living in the deserted courtyard and Wei Da who took care of her around the clock, they felt a little uncomfortable.Moreover, there are still many unsolved mysteries about Wei Yuan. They haven't asked who asked him to design Jiang Zhun. Although there are speculations, they are still not sure of his real purpose of killing Lu Xiao, and whether there are other secrets behind it. ?

The two of them were silent, there were too many incoherent thoughts and unanswered guesses in their minds. Finally, when some key figures died, they seemed to return to the darkness, faintly smelling that Guo Yinggang died two years ago of despair.

Everything in the bedroom was still, and the air seemed to stop flowing. They were silent for a long time.

Finally Jiang Zhun said, "Is it cold, come under the quilt first."

Nie Cheng's sculptural face and body moved, and only then did he feel that his shoulders and joints had been attacked by the early spring night, and his skin felt cold.With a long sigh, he returned the quilt and lay down on the pillow like Jiang Zhun.

"This incident is unusual, but there are two situations, suicide and homicide. Wei Yuan was imprisoned in a multi-person room. No matter what the situation is, there should be traces to follow." Nie Cheng said.

"Well. If he killed, someone must have bribed the people inside; suicide is unlikely, and there is no reason, unless something new happens."

"Like, he was threatened."

"Yes. And I guess he died of suffocation. Whether he committed suicide, strangle marks are the easiest to forge."

Nie Cheng nodded, "I think we need to review what happened recently."

"Okay, I just wanted to talk to you about the information Wu Ze sent today, it might be helpful." Jiang Zhun said.

"Then it started on December 12st last year, I was by the river..."

"No, this case involves a lot, and the time span may be longer than you and I imagined. It must start from the very beginning of the known possible events. If necessary, I think we can even start from the moment we first entered the police station. The police academy, even the incident in high school, or the case your father encountered." Jiang Zhun said.

"There are too many things involved, and the focus of thinking will be lost." Nie Cheng pursed his lips and said.

"You are right, but at the beginning, we should try our best to cover all possibilities so that there will be no omissions. The work of deletion can be done later." Jiang Zhun said.

Nie Cheng leaned back slightly, and distanced himself a little from him, "Sorting out from a long time ago will reduce the focus and energy of our team's core time. I'm going to find Team Li tomorrow. It will be very busy during this period. We don't have any Enough time."

"Then find an entry point, a key event that can connect the previous and subsequent events, I think..."

Nie Cheng interrupted suddenly. He knew what Jiang Zhun was going to say, and he didn't want to hear it. He lowered his voice and repeated: "We don't have enough time!"

"...The Guo Ying case two years ago is the best starting point." Jiang Zhun insisted on finishing.

The two voices overlapped, and it seemed that both parties were a little excited.

They faced each other silently, like two lions vying for leadership, sticking to their own territory and refusing to give in to each other.This silence was also different from when they were thinking about Wei Yuan just now. They didn't glared and roared, but they were brewing this unfriendly, threatening, and depressive atmosphere that was on the verge of breaking out.

In the end, Nie Cheng turned his eyes away first, and said in a tired and low voice: "Now is not the time to talk about the issues between us."

Jiang Zhun moved his Adam's apple, he couldn't bear it for a moment, but said coldly: "This is not a problem between us, it is your problem, and you are avoiding it."

Nie Cheng, who was blamed, was not unconvinced in any way, and retracted the arms supporting the front half of his body as if hugging himself tightly. He swept Jiang Zhun's nose with unknowingly pleading eyes.

"Nie Cheng, this is your own problem." Jiang Zhun said again hard-hearted.

"This matter is a chain of events, you cannot avoid it." While speaking, he approached Nie Cheng, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and shook him slightly.

Nie Cheng's eyelashes trembled, and he finally looked straight into his eyes, struggling to speak: "Okay, let's start from then. Two years ago..."
