Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

In the evening, he called Zhang Jieming, asked him about Jiang Zhun's situation, and asked him to persuade him more and not to make him worry too much.

Zhang Jieming on the other end of the phone was so excited that his voice choked up a little. After more than two years, their team Nie finally took the initiative to care about them. It is a precursor to the master's return to the team.

Nie Cheng held the receiver a foot away from his ear, waited for Zhang Jieming to calm down, said goodbye quickly and hung up the phone, and the whole room was suddenly quiet.

He was silent for a moment, then called Li Mu again, "Captain Li, I want to report something related to this case..."

On December 12, Nie Cheng caught a pickpocket on his way to work, and escorted him into the interrogation room.The thief had a junior high school degree and had just turned eighteen, so he vomited all the things in his heart without asking a few words, and they interrogated them until noon, hungry so that their chests stuck to their backs.

At this time, a police car from the Haidong District Bureau was parked outside their police station. Two male police officers got out of the car and walked into the police station.

When Nie Cheng came out of the interrogation room with the documents in his arms, there was a lot of commotion outside and it was very noisy.

He was looking up to see who dared to act violently at the police station, and a little policeman led people towards him, still saying: "...I'm interrogating inside, I'll be out soon! Hey, brother Cheng , Brother Cheng, the criminal police from the Haidong District Bureau are here to look for you." The voice of the little policeman Hua Song after heaving a sigh of relief seemed extremely cheerful in the instantly quiet hall.

He couldn't tell whether it was the words "Haidong District Bureau" that first aroused his vigilance, or the face that he hadn't seen in two years and looked a little strange.

Nie Cheng subconsciously avoided looking, and mechanically said: "Okay, I understand, go to my office and talk." Then he lowered his head and walked away.He didn't even pay attention to Zu Xinghui who was beside Jiang Zhun, let alone respond to his greeting.

Jiang Zhun was mentally prepared, so he lost his composure for a moment, remembering to turn around and send Zu Xinghui away, asking him to go to the cafeteria to buy some lunch.

Nie Cheng's office is facing the sun. At noon, there is plenty of sunshine and warmth. The instructor sitting opposite him went to the cafeteria for dinner. Now it's just the two of them.

This is where he has been working since he left the district bureau for two years, Jiang Zhun looked around.The unprocessed documents are neatly stacked on the left hand side of the window, and there is a teacup diagonally in front of it, but there is no tea in it, filled with clear and bright white water, and there is a desk calendar next to it, and the words "meeting" are written under the circled dates Or "hand in materials", the other places are clean, and the sorted documents are promptly put into the metal filing cabinet behind him.

Jiang Zhun wanted to lament his good habits, but felt that he should talk about the past first, so he was a little nervous for a while.

Nie Cheng didn't want to hear Jiang Zhun's bland greetings, nor did he want to hear his urgent grievances, but when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he was slightly surprised, and at the same time, he was no longer at a loss, and spoke first: " Come today...do you have something to do?"

"Oh, it's a case."

He glanced forward and met Nie Cheng's eyes, and the two looked away at the same time.

"The deceased in your jurisdiction is related to a case I'm investigating. I'm here to find out the situation," Jiang Zhun said.

Nie Cheng turned around and took out a file box from the metal cabinet, handed it to him, and said, "Here are all his basic information."

Jiang Zhun took it, looked at the familiar Xingkai on the cover, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch its chiseled strokes.

Nie Cheng didn't look at it, and clenched his fists hidden by his legs tightly. He had nothing to say, but he didn't open his mouth to chase him away.

Jiang Zhun lingered as if he had received tacit approval, he took a step forward, the words he had been brewing for a long time lingered in his chest, his Adam's apple slid up and down, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zu Xinghui poked his head in and said, "Captain Jiang, lunch is ready, shall we eat it in the car?"

Jiang Zhun turned his head and glared at Zu Xinghui, causing the latter to shrink his neck.Jiang Zhun's original intention was to let him buy three servings to eat here, but it was too late to worry about these.

He took one last look at Nie Cheng and said, "I'm leaving."

Turning around to the door, as if thinking of something again, he put the paper bag he had been carrying on Nie Cheng's desk, and said in a low voice, "Your." After finishing speaking, he left the office.

Nie Cheng picked up the paper bag in confusion, looked inside, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately chased it out.

"and many more."

The two people who hadn't left the police station stopped immediately, Jiang Zhun's eyes lit up, and there was a bit of anticipation in his expression.

Nie Cheng said: "Xinghui, you wait in the car for a while, I have something to tell your team Jiang."

The old captain's prestige is still there, Zu Xinghui responded well, and got into the car without further ado.

"You come." Nie Cheng said to Jiang Zhun.

Jiang Zhun followed him into the office again, and Nie Cheng took out the scarf from the paper bag and put it on the desk.He has been wearing this scarf for three years. If he didn't think about it, he almost forgot that it was given by Jiang Zhun. But the key point is that when he went to the psychological clinic last Sunday, he left it in Wei Yuan's office. allow.When he was about to go back to pick it up, he saw Jiang Zhun go in, and then he began to think about the relationship between these things crazily, and put the scarf behind him, thinking about it, he planned to pick it up when he went tomorrow.

Now Jiang Zhun specially sent it to him, at least it shows that he knows that Nie Cheng and he have found the same psychiatrist.

"Where did you find it?" Nie Cheng asked.

"That psychological clinic. I'm not following you, it's just... a coincidence." Jiang Zhun said.

Nie Cheng nodded silently.

Jiang Zhun asked cautiously: "Are you not feeling well recently?"

"No, it's okay, it's just a little... It's you, Zhang Jieming asked me to persuade you, what happened to you?" The purpose of provoking this topic was to divert his attention, but at the end of the question, Nie Cheng It is also sincere.

When Zhang Jieming came to him, he didn't take it seriously. Seeing Jiang Zhun's violent temper with his own eyes in the digital building, and his attitude of insisting on calling him out just now, Nie Cheng really felt Jiang Zhun. It's a little different.

"Do you also need to see a psychiatrist?" Nie Cheng frowned.

There was a rare trace of dodge in Jiang Zhun's expression, "It may be a bit stressful during this time, so don't worry."

The two couldn't find a suitable topic, so Jiang Zhun had to leave.

Nie Cheng said "No", and watched him get in the police car and drive away through the window.He thought that Jiang Zhun and the others would find him through the clues inside after seeing the recovered data in the USB flash drive. He was already prepared that Jiang Zhun would detain him, but he didn't mention a word, and sent him instead scarf.

Things were a bit chaotic, and he had no intention of eating at all.

In the afternoon, Li Mu called him, "Xiaocheng, I went to investigate the Wei Yuan you mentioned in the morning. He admitted that he was He Peiyi's attending psychiatrist, but he refused to disclose He Peiyi's consultation situation. We can also understand his professional characteristics. I understand. I specially asked He Peiyi to take us there. After observing them, they looked quite normal. They didn't seem to be tricky, and they didn't have any special feelings. We haven't found any connection between Wei Yuan and Lu Xiao yet, so we ruled him out for the time being. .”

"Understood, sorry, let you go for nothing."

"What are you talking about? If you have any new information, you have to report it in time. By the way, we also checked the visitors. Don't tell me what you said. You followed the advice of your high school classmates. You and that kid Jiang Zhun what happened?"

"What's wrong with Jiang Zhun?" Nie Cheng tried to keep his voice sounding steady.

"He consulted here a year and a half ago, and he came here once a week for more than a month. He recommended you to come here? You two are not in a good state recently. If you want me not to respond to your director, let you rest For a while?"

Nie Cheng quickly stated that he had no problem, and he would stick to his post and not engage in privileges, and tried his best to bring the topic back to the case, and promised to contact him as soon as he found something new.

After hanging up the phone, he stared blankly at the paper bag on the corner of the table for half an hour.

Jiang Zhun approached Wei Yuan a year and a half ago, what happened then, why didn't Zhang Jieming tell him about it, or was it because Jiang Zhun never got out of the relationship between the two of them?

Nie Cheng had one head and two big ones, and his temples were throbbing.When I got off work in the evening, my mental and physical strength were all exhausted, and my stomach was sore with hunger.

It was time to eat, and the cafeteria was full of colleagues. Nie Cheng didn't want to join in the fun, and he didn't bother to order takeaway. He found a Cantonese restaurant in front of his house and planned to have a casual bite.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the clerk bring a bowl of wanton noodles to the table by the door.The wontons are filled with thin skin, and the expensive pork inside can be seen faintly, and the crispy yellow noodles are spread on the side, which attracts the appetite.Nie Cheng immediately decided to let it go.

After ordering, he queued up at the food pick-up area with a strip, and took out his mobile phone to watch the news, when a group of people came outside the door.

These five people made the small shop appear crowded as soon as they entered the door. They were wearing uniforms, and they were not noisy.

"Jiang team said that today is a treat, so let's relax a little bit."

Nie Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his phone almost fell to the ground.It was Zu Xinghui who spoke, and Jiang Zhun was obviously among them.

His home is not far from the district bureau, but in the past two years, not to mention Jiang Zhun, no one else has ever met him once.What's the matter today?

"Team Jiang wants to invite you, so let's change to a bigger restaurant." Lin Minxin said.

"Don't pick them all, I have to go back to work overtime soon, right Team Jiang." Liangzi said doggedly.

"Brother Liang, why don't you take advantage of this time to go back to your wife and children to warm up the kang, save money for Team Jiang, and don't make fun of us?" Zu Xinghui said.

"How do you talk? By the way, where are Team Wu and Zhang Jieming?"

"They're not done with their work, let's bring food home and see what we're eating."

Listening to their conversation, Nie Cheng whispered to the window that dine-in would be changed to take-out. He stuffed the scarf into his coat, put on his hat, carried a hot plastic lunch box, and walked past the five of them with his head down. He was safe and sound. out of the restaurant.

It didn't know when it snowed outside, and when the cold wind blew, he felt like he was so relaxed.

He vaguely heard a chair being pulled from behind and footsteps chasing to the door, he froze on the spot without looking back, no one came forward for a long time, maybe it was his illusion.

Nie Cheng walked home alone on the thin snow, and felt that these things must be cleared up as soon as possible. After that, he would have an open and honest talk with Jiang Zhun, and give an explanation to those ambiguous past events, if Jiang Zhun was still willing to talk to him.
