Criminal Psychology

Chapter 144 Buying Cigarettes

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The conversation between Lin Chen and Li Jingtian at the press conference was actually very brief, but the information disclosed in it was rich in layers. This kind of plot is like a TV series that has not settled down, and the news reporters and media people are crazy with joy. After all, this This kind of confrontation between the police and the singer is actually far more exciting than the series.

But in reality, there are not many people who are really excited, because countless people have experienced the pressure of that hour.

Li Jingtian's fans almost stopped all their work. While frantically refreshing their WeChat and Weibo to get the latest developments of the incident, they released various messages of support for the idol through these new media.And the people who didn't like Li Jingtian in the first place made a comeback again, launching a scolding war with Li Jingtian's fans with an invincible attitude.

In the torrent of public opinion, everyone feels that what they say is deafening enough, as if they can really turn things around.

Among all the tense, excited and crazy people, the one who can feel the most pressure is of course Mr. Li Jingtian.

He was escorted back to his guest room on the third floor by the staff of the embassy after the phone call. From his perspective, he could only see a pool of swimming fish and a few stalks of bamboo. The place was very clean. , He couldn't even hear the voices of the people surrounding the embassy at all.

But he felt that every corner of the room was full of people, and the chants of the fans and the broadcast of the reporters kept ringing in his ears. The desire to tear everything into pieces, but he knew he couldn't do that, because on the way back just now, he had clearly seen a change in the way the embassy staff looked at him.

Those gazes had changed from sympathy and disdain to suspicion. With just a few words, Lin Chen turned him into a criminal suspect again. He didn't even need any evidence to make the image he worked so hard to create Most of them were destroyed.

Lin Chen, Lin Chen is really amazing.

Li Jingtian bit his fingers hard, until a strong taste of blood appeared in his mouth, and he finally suppressed the voices in his ears.

He looked out of the window again. Although he was completely sure in his heart that it was impossible for Lin Chen to come to him through heavy guards, let alone arrest a protected distinguished foreign guest in another country's embassy or consulate, he couldn't contain the panic in his heart. He stood up abruptly and took out his phone.

Xing Conglian's phone rang suddenly. At that time, they had just changed into the jeep and were about to set off for Yongchuan.

Because the ringtone was very special, Xing had been connected to the phone, and he could tell the caller just from the ringtone. Without hesitation, he pulled the phone away from his ears for a long distance. Lin Chen heard the old director's furious voice splashing out of the microphone. .

"Xing Conglian, are you fucking crazy? You made such a big mess for me!" the old bureau chief who usually only liked to drink tea and walk birds shouted.

Xing Conglian said, "Director, isn't this the proper procedure for handling a case?"

"Due to the process, you made your whole group's face appear on all the TV midday news?"

Xing Conglian protested: "This is the oppression of public opinion on our front-line police officers!"

"It's fine if you don't oppress others!"

Xing Conglian took the phone farther and farther away, Lin Chen took it smoothly, and said softly: "Director Wu."

"Let Xing Conglian listen to the phone!" The old man doesn't say anything sympathetic now, even if he talks, it won't work.

Lin Chen turned the volume of the phone to the lowest level, and then resentfully handed the phone back to Xing Conglian again.

"Get to the bottom of it for me, Captain Xing." The old director's voice suddenly became serious, "What exactly do you want to do next, and do you need me to do something?"

Lin Chen was a little moved. He knew very well that the old chief didn't want to reprimand them when he made this call, but he really wanted to help.If they want to forcibly break into the Singapore embassy, ​​it will inevitably involve a series of complicated diplomatic consultations and may even rise to diplomatic disputes. All those who want to help may be under extraordinary pressure. His identity can better understand the difficulties, but he still called without hesitation.

Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian.

There was no emotion on the face of the captain of the criminal police. He opened the cigarette case and looked at it, and said, "I...I want to buy a pack of cigarettes. Father, would you like to transfer some money to me from Alipay?"

After he finished speaking, he let the old director yell at him and hung up the phone.

……

Of course, the old director is not the only one who is mad. Mr. Li, who is far away in the Li mansion in Xinni, is also on the verge of mania.

Everyone in the Li family knows that although the old man has a really bad temper, he can always show a trace of the demeanor of the master of the family on weekdays. For example, when he scolds, the old man will only say a few sarcasm at most, and he is rarely really angry. When smashing things.

But just now, after the old man received a call from the young master, he dropped a whole set of purple clay tea sets made by Gu Jingzhou.

The young master didn't know what he said on the other end of the phone. The old man's expression was both distressed and angry. He hung up the young master's call for help, and directly dialed the number of the new Nigerian ambassador to China.

At this time, the servants are still a little proud. After all, not everyone in the whole country can scold Mr. Ambassador bloody.

The old man shouted: "Luo Qiusheng, I don't care what you are thinking, but today you dare to let people humiliate the citizens of our country in public, that is your dereliction of duty. If you want to lose the national dignity, you will lose all the face of the country. !” Mr. Li scolded angrily.

After a while, Mr. Ambassador seemed to promise something on the other side, and Mr. Li finally calmed down a little. He lowered his volume and said slowly: "Qiu Sheng, it's not that I'm selfish. I really do it for your own good. Think about it, if you really caused any serious diplomatic disputes due to your mishandling, you are not the one who suffers. With this stain, it will be very difficult for you to make further progress in your future career..."

Hearing this, Mr. Ambassador looked at the bustling crowd outside the embassy and said calmly, "Mr. Li, please advise?"

"What advice can my old man give, but the matter has come to an end. If I were you, I would never let those two Hongjing policemen have the opportunity to step into the gate of the embassy. As long as they don't meet each other, everything will be the same when Sedum returns to China You have nothing to do with it, so it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right?"

"I understand."

Mr. Ambassador hung up the phone, looked at the chief secretary standing at the desk, and did not speak.

"Sir?" the secretary asked with concern.

"Is there any movement in Huaguo?"

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huaguo didn't call to discuss with us, and the Hongjing police didn't submit any application. Could it be that the police are just talking?"

Mr. Ambassador pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Let's wait and see what happens."

Although the ambassador himself did not issue any direct orders, Fu Hao stood at the gate of the Xinni embassy and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of the doubled number of security personnel outside the embassy.

Su Fengzi was "invited" into the embassy and hadn't come out yet. He anxiously held his mobile phone, but he didn't know who to call.

His brother had just said that he would be there in half an hour, so he didn't have to call again, but now the one-hour time limit has passed, and the group of fans around the embassy gate are crazy like a manic attack.

The sun was too hot at noon, and the reporters were squatting on the side of the road to eat boxed lunches in twos and threes. Impatient expressions had already appeared on their faces. If his senior brother didn't come, it is estimated that the group of reporters who were waiting for the news must be waiting for him. .

Lin Chen didn't feel Fu Hao's irritability. He was sitting on the co-pilot of the jeep, and outside the window was the iconic turquoise reed outside the Yongchuan Expressway.

Xing Conglian turned the temperature in the car to the lowest, Wang Chao and Lu Xu were sleeping soundly head-to-head in the back seat, Lin Chen looked away, looked at Xing Conglian again, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

He hesitated to speak because during the past hour of driving, Xing Conglian didn't speak again after he finished the joke about buying cigarettes.

Lin Chen also really wanted to ask him "Did I cause you trouble", or ask him "What are your plans later"?

But he changed his mind, if it was Xing Conglian, there must be a way, so any questions are superfluous.

Then Lin Chen realized that in such a long time, he really just wanted to talk to Xing Conglian.

At this moment, his cell phone rang lightly, and when he took out the phone, the ringing stopped again.

Lin Chen looked at the calling number, a little surprised.

While he was in a daze, the ringtone suddenly rang again, imagining the entangled caller on the other end of the phone, Lin Chen didn't press the answer button for a while.

Xing Conglian, who was driving, seemed to have guessed who was on the other end of the phone. He suddenly stretched out his hand and looked at the arm that was stretching across the driver's cab. Lin Chen naturally handed over the phone.

Xing Conglian didn't answer the phone, he didn't even look at the caller's name, he just called casually: "Dynasty."

"Here!" The young man in the back row woke up suddenly.

Xing Conglian threw the phone back: "Add a blacklist to your Brother Chen."

Wang Chao happily said, "Leave it on me!"

Seeing the tacit cooperation between the two, Lin Chen even suspected that if Wang Chao added the blacklist, Huang Ze's phone number might not appear in his phone's address book for the rest of his life.

……

Inspector Huang Zehuang was sulking because the phone could no longer be connected. Professor Fu squatted at the intersection two blocks away from the embassy, ​​and finally waited for Xing Conglian's iconic jeep.

As soon as he got into the car, he was shivered by the cold air that hit his face, and then he shouted anxiously: "Brother, what the hell is going on with Li Jingtian, Su Fengzi, a psychopath, dragged me to the gate of the embassy without saying anything." You didn’t say that the other person has been arrested now, you said what to do, and the armed forces at the gate of the embassy are really not a joke, how will we get in later?”

"I don't know either." Lin Chen replied calmly.

"Then if you don't see Li Jingtian, are you going to publish the evidence directly on the Internet!"

"There is no evidence." Lin Chen said again.

Fu Hao had an expression on his face, he turned his head stiffly to the window, feeling that this world was too unreliable.

Suddenly, as if seeing something outside the window, Fu Hao suddenly leaned forward, patted the back of Xing Conglian's chair and shouted: "Old Xing, you are going the wrong way, this is not the way to the embassy."

There are two rows of tall sycamores on the street, and there are no bustling demonstrators around. In early summer, when the branches and leaves are dense, the shade of the trees covers the sidewalks.

Xing Conglian slowly parked the car into the parking space on the sidewalk and applied the handbrake.

"Old Xing, what are you going to do, don't you know that time is tight?" Fu Hao asked after Xing Conglian's back.

But at that time Xing Conglian had already opened the door and got off the car. He walked through the shade of the trees to the grocery store on the street.

"Oh, don't worry, Professor Fu!" Chao Chao patted Fu Hao's back to comfort him, "Boss has his plans."

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked towards the grocery store on the street.

It was an ordinary, run-down grocery store, with a dim shop and a drowsy old lady sitting by the window.

Lin Chen raised his head and saw the seven characters "Panpan Duoyan Grocery Store" written on the signboard of the grocery store, and the red paint on the store name was almost invisible due to fading.

The appearance of an old grocery store near the embassy street, where land is expensive and expensive, seems a bit suspicious, but Lin Chen read the name of the store carefully, and found that under the name of the store, translations in six languages ​​can be vaguely seen...

He then looked at Xing Conglian.

Xing Conglian had already walked to the tobacco store, and the golden sunlight shone on Xing Conglian's straight back through the gaps between the leaves.

He knocked on the glass window of the grocery store and handed in the money. Lin Chen couldn't hear what Xing Conglian said, but the old lady took the money, she seemed very worried, and held the banknotes and looked at it for a long time. Finally, the old man smoked a pack of cigarettes from the shelf and threw it out casually.

Xing Conglian took the cigarettes, didn't take the change, turned around and left, the process was very short, as if he deliberately took a detour just to buy a pack of cigarettes.

"Old Xing, you really want to buy cigarettes!"

For this reason, after Xing Conglian got into the car, Fu Hao made serious complaints.

Hearing this, Xing Conglian unwrapped the plastic packaging of the cigarette case, stuffed one in his mouth, and did not speak.
