Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

Nie Cheng knocked on the door of the task force's office, and a voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Different from the large stepped meeting room, this is a narrow and long room with a conference table in the middle, occupying most of the space, and a whiteboard in front of it, with Wei Yuan, Yu Zixuan's family and some certificates posted on it. photos of objects, a surveillance video is being played on the projection screen hung on the wall, the light from the window next to it is completely blocked out by the blackout curtain, and the only light sources in the room are the overhead projector and a lamp at the end of the long office desk in front of Nie Cheng. A desk lamp tuned to low light.

Seeing the person coming, the people in the room were a little surprised. Someone paused the video, and the needle could be heard for a while.

"I... Nie Cheng reported." He put his heels together and saluted.

Shao Qingyun sat at the other end of the long table without looking at him, and said "um" and stopped talking.He didn't speak, and the people around him didn't dare to be too enthusiastic.

Nie Cheng was mentally prepared, calmly lowered his arms, and quickly looked around at the people in the room.

Eight people, including Li Mu, besides him and Shao Qingyun, there is also a familiar face——Tang Xuehai, who used to be his father's intern, ten years older than him, is nodding kindly to him, beckoning him to come over sit.The other five were all seniors with experience above him, and they were also veteran detectives with their own strengths in the industry. At this time, they smiled and looked at him to see how he could resolve the embarrassment.

There are many ways, and Tang Xuehai also helped him set up a step, but he didn't want to keep stalemate with Master.Even if he sat down now, his master Shao Qingyun would still ignore him. If he didn't ease up with his master first, he wouldn't be able to integrate into the investigation team. Even if he was here, it might not be of much use.He didn't want to let down this opportunity, and he didn't want to let down Jiang Zhun's preparations—although he didn't know exactly what he did, but judging from Wu Ze's previous tone, it was definitely not easy.

Shao Qingyun has a character of not rubbing sand in his eyes. It is much better for him to stand here and be scolded than to keep silent. The case is important, and he thinks Master will not delay it for too long.

Sure enough, after 2 minutes of silence in the meeting room, Shao Qingyun turned his head and said sternly: "What are you doing there, and you want me to invite you to sit? Now we are racing against time, and we have no time to waste time on you. Let so many seniors wait for you? Don't think that Jiang Zhun recommends you, and you can sit back as the captain safely. Whether you can stay in the criminal investigation team in the future depends on your performance. What our team needs is to understand An excellent police officer who is united, tense, serious and lively, if you..."

Halfway through his long speech, the door behind Nie Cheng was pushed open.He had to move to the side in the narrow space to make room for someone who came, and Shao Qingyun also stopped.

"Xiaocheng?" The visitor asked in surprise, with both hands on his shoulders from behind, he stretched his neck to look at his face.

"Sister Bing!" Nie Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

Xue Bing was at the same time as Tang Xuehai and Cai Fei, and they were both subordinates of Nie Cheng's father. After Nie's father left, they took good care of Nie Cheng.

Xue Bing glanced at the sulking Shao Qingyun, then at the slightly cramped Nie Cheng, and smiled and pulled him to sit next to his seat.As the only policewoman among the ten members of the task force, she has some privileges, and the leaders and seniors present have always been very tolerant to her.

"I've waited for you, don't you know that Jiang Zhun is almost here..." She was halfway through, when she heard Shao Qingyun snorted, she blinked at Nie Cheng, and immediately changed her words, "But it's just in time, this is just sent We are going to look at the clues together." After she said this, she fell silent.

Shao Qingyun nodded, and the picture on the projection screen moved again.

The video is of a family in the building next door to Yu Zixuan’s rental community. The camera is positioned at his car, and incidentally, he can capture the road at the entrance of Yu Zixuan’s building, and the building’s number can be seen on the far side of the screen.

The criminal police in charge of the interview had watched it many times after collecting evidence. When they sent the video, they marked the specific time. The progress bar of the video was directly pulled to the desired position, and the time displayed in the upper left corner was 13:54.

"Look, everyone, this person has gone in." Li Mu pointed at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the video with the back end of his signature pen.

Although the crime took place in Haidong District, because it was related to Wei Yuan's suicide case, he had contact with An District earlier, which was one of the reasons why he was invited to join the task force.

The suspect is about 1.7 meters tall, shaved, wearing a bulky black jacket and blue school uniform sports pants, and the white sneakers under his feet are dirty and gray.He hid one hand in his jacket, probably holding a weapon, and walked straight into the door of Yu Zixuan's building without any hesitation or looking around. He reappeared on surveillance footage 15 minutes later, his black jacket turned brown and his sneakers splattered with red blood.

"He still had one hand in his jacket, probably holding the murder weapon, but no murder weapon was found at the scene. The jacket's color changed because he wore it backwards, and the trouble went back to when he entered the door. Yes, here, everyone pay attention to the collar This one, black inside is brown."

"Okay, Captain Li, this look is amazing."

"A young policewoman saw it when they were collecting evidence," Li Mu said.

"Has anyone been found?" Shao Qingyun asked.

"Based on this person's height and appearance, we found him in the surveillance of the traffic department of the community gate. He didn't act alone. There was a silver van with a set plate to pick him up. We followed the track of the car from the surveillance to find him and kept chasing him. Arrived in the suburbs, and then disappeared. Everyone knows that the sky eyes in our city have been relatively perfect in the past two years. As long as they are in the city, no matter whether it is trafficking or murder, there are traces. I am afraid that I will take the train to other provinces or go to the suburbs. Most of the perpetrators of the crime of running by train are aware of it, and the train station has responded, but too few people go to the suburbs, so I think the locals committed the crime.” Li Mu said.

"If you are a local, you should know that there are cameras everywhere in the city." Tang Xuehai said.

"Yes, this is exactly where they are arrogant." Li Mu said.

"So, no one has been found yet?" Shao Qingyun frowned.

"Investigating. Recently, the face recognition is very powerful. Last year, our department recruited a child who majored in computer science. He is following along. There is no clue yet. But in the morning, he told me about the information database of the city's primary and secondary schools. Not here." Li Mu said.

"Out-of-province?"

"It's hard to say, they are too blatant, and it doesn't feel simple."

"Feeling alone is not enough. What we are talking about is evidence. Judging from this situation, this young man can basically be targeted, and he must be arrested as soon as possible. If you have any opinions, you can talk about them." Shao Qingyun said.

Cao Xiangrong from the Criminal Investigation Section of the Guangnan District Bureau is nearly fifty years old and has gray hair on his temples. He proposed to start with a deck van. He has friends in the transportation department. He said hello to them and helped him chase them. Although the possibility of stealing a vehicle is relatively high. High, but you have to try.

"Old Cao is right. This is just the beginning. We can't be lazy. We have to try everything. You have a lot of contacts, so this matter will get rid of you." Shao Qingyun said.

"Team Shao don't worry." Cao Xiangrong said.

"Have you ruled out the possibility of personal enmity? Is it possible that this child arranges everything?" Xue Bing asked.

"Basically ruled out, look at the location of the corpse..." Li Mu said halfway, and was called by Director Shao. Tang Xuehai took the photo and explained it to Xue Bing.

Among the criminal police present here, Nie Cheng is the youngest, and the rest are the backbone of each sub-bureau. It is not the first time for some to be in a special case team, and some have never worked together and have heard of them. Basically, it is a small all-star lineup.At this time, no one was thinking of being subtle or hiding something, and they quickly started talking about it, expressing their opinions and colliding with each other. Often, several clues were brought together for discussion and comparison.

They started with Yu Zixuan's idea of ​​renting an apartment to avoid disaster early in the morning, and they had to sort out his social network, and analyze his motives for committing the crime and the background of the people behind him from the killer's confident attitude. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two hours, Nie Cheng didn't say a word.He didn't care about his low qualifications and deliberately lowered his profile, but he joined late, and he didn't have the authority to understand the case before. He was worried about misleading the direction of the investigation for many physical evidence and clues.

In the end, Shao Qingyun arranged tasks for everyone except him, let them do their own work, and reminded them to pay attention to check the news, and this is where the meeting will be held again.

Xue Bing pulled him into the chat group of the task force and followed Li Mu to his feet.Nie Cheng, who was sitting on the farthest side, also hurriedly got up to make way out of the aisle, and the seniors who were not familiar with him greeted him as they passed by him.

Shao Qingyun has been sitting in the innermost place to read the information, and has no intention of leaving. At the end, Xue Bing knew that he would not have the chance to talk to Nie Cheng alone this time, so he left in a hurry, "Miss Tian, ​​please".

Shao Qingyun and Nie Cheng were left in the quiet conference room.

Nie Cheng was ready from the moment he knocked on the door of the conference room. Whether it was Shao Qingyun's indifference and scolding in front of others, or the silence at this time, he expected it, and it did not affect his emotions at all.

He took the initiative to sit beside Shao Qingyun, clasped his hands gently on the table in front of him, turned his head slightly, and waited for Shao Qingyun to show him like a student.

Shao Qingyun divided the documents in his hands into two stacks, pushed one of the stacks in front of Nie Cheng, and then picked up a file box from under the table and handed it to him, "Look at these first."

Nie Cheng responded "OK", immediately entered the case handling mode, and quickly scanned the documents.

Shao Qingyun took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages, then silently looked at Nie Cheng.

I haven't seen him for three years, and this kid seems to be less and less talkative. Although it's a good thing for them to be more calm in this industry, but when he recalled the first time he met him, compared with the three or four-year-old kid who was full of smiles, he felt faint. Sour.Is he too cruel?He knew that it was not easy for Nie Cheng during that time, but he didn't want him to go the wrong way, so he had to wake him up in time, but he didn't answer and ran to the police station without saying a word!

Shao Qingyun remembered the scene he saw in the hospital ward, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The pain in his heart just disappeared, and he slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily, "Are you still hanging out with Jiang Zhun!"

Nie Cheng, who was concentrating all his attention on reading the materials, was shocked by his shock and his wrists trembled. Before he could react to Shao Qingyun's question, he looked at him puzzled.

"You don't even listen to me." Shao Qingyun said coldly.

"Master..."

"Don't call me Master."

Nie Cheng lowered his eyes, and the words in front of him couldn't enter his brain for a while.

After he was rescued from the warehouse, he was sent to the hospital to get salt water. The doctor said that he would stay in the hospital for observation for a few days just to be safe.At that time, his psychological problems were far more serious than his physical problems, and Jiang Zhun would come to accompany him whenever he had time.After he woke up from a coma, he was in a state of being unable to distinguish between reality and dreams for a long time, and Jiang Zhun would hold his hand tightly.

Once he didn't remember what he said in a coma, but he only remembered that Jiang Zhun's eyes were as dark as his, and then he leaned over and kissed his lips.It seemed to be a deep kiss. Jiang Zhun supported the back of his head, and he went around Jiang Zhun's back with one hand and grabbed the clothes on his shoulders. He stretched his neck, letting the despair in his heart and the air in his chest be overwhelmed. Most of it was sucked away.

Shao Qingyun should have seen this scene from the window.He didn't break in, but Nie Cheng questioned him after he was discharged from the hospital, asking what he and Jiang Zhun had done.

Nie Cheng was speechless.

Criminal police is a very traditional industry, and Shao Qingyun is also a very conservative person. He cannot accept homosexuality from the outside to the inside.Moreover, he has also investigated a malicious case in which homosexual promiscuity was infected with AIDS and used needles to randomly spread ordinary people, and he hated this group of people deeply.He would never have imagined, even if he broke his head, that Nie Cheng, whom he had grown up with, would get together with Jiang Zhun.

He couldn't understand, how could Nie Cheng, who had been educated in the mainstream values ​​in the police station since he was a child, do such a thing?

In fact, Nie Cheng also couldn't figure it out. Would he really want to "defy the world's displeasure" and become a couple with Jiang Zhun under the strange gaze?He always felt that it was best not to pierce the window paper, but Jiang Zhun asked him to express his opinion, and he agreed.He not only agreed to have sex with him, but also confirmed his partnership with him.As a result, the Guo Ying case occurred.

He was confused and in pain, he didn't know how to face Jiang Zhun, and he didn't know how to answer Shao Qingyun's request to let him leave Jiang Zhun.

He only knows that he loves Jiang Zhun and wants to be with him, but he doesn't want to be his partner.This seems contradictory, is there such a possibility?

Up to now, his father, mother, and younger sister who were closely connected with him have all passed away. He knew that it was not his fault. This profession is inherently dangerous, but, but Guo Ying's death still made him feel that it was...

"Oh, let's not mention it for now, just read the information." Shao Qingyun waved his hand weakly and said.

Nie Cheng's stiff body slowly relaxed, he slowly flipped through the documents, and once again integrated himself into the case.
