Mystery Tracker 2

The forensic team at this time is naturally busy.The investigation and evidence collection at the deceased's home is proceeding in an orderly manner.Because the murderer probably followed the deceased before committing the crime, the forensic team conducted a detailed inspection of the deceased's car and the doors and windows of his home, but found no trace of being pried.What's more, the security guards of the community also said very positively that they never found any suspicious person following the deceased in or near the park.However, just to be on the safe side, the serious crime team still copied the surveillance video of the community in the last half month for further inspection.As for personal belongings, the forensic team found his mobile phone, computer, and notebook in the deceased’s home or car. With Yu Xinyuan’s consent, these items were put into the evidence bag of the forensic team and will be brought back to the police station for further analysis.During this time, Yu Xinyuan has been sitting aside, watching all this numbly.Cheng Jinsong tried to talk to Yu Xinyuan several times, hoping that she could provide some details that would help solve the case.However, Yu Xinyuan was able to hold on to answer a few questions at first, but later on her emotions became more and more agitated, and even showed signs of collapse.Seeing this situation, Cheng Jinsong immediately ended the conversation and asked Xu Rou to accompany Yu Xinyuan.Under Xu Rou's comfort, Yu Xinyuan finally gradually stabilized her emotions.

"Yu Xinyuan said that she hasn't told her parents about her husband's death." After sending Yu Xinyuan back to the room to lie down and rest, Xu Rou came out and said to Cheng Jinsong. "Bolande's parents knew about it. Yu Xinyuan happened to be staying at her in-laws' house when she received our call. She left the child with her grandparents and came back first. Now Bolande's parents are applying for visas. She will come back to China soon. I just advised her to call her parents as soon as possible."

Cheng Jinsong nodded: "With relatives accompanying her, she will feel better."

Xu Rou nodded in agreement, looked at the people who were already finishing the work, and asked Cheng Jinsong, "Are we going back now?"

"Well," Cheng Jinsong nodded. He glanced at Berland's personal belongings that had been put into the evidence bag, and said, "I hope we can find out the reason for the murderer's murder..."

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the forensic team finished the on-site investigation of the deceased's home and returned to the police station with relevant evidence for a new round of physical inspection.In stark contrast to their quick fix, the crime squad's visit to the deceased's unit lasted until after three o'clock in the afternoon.As the vice president of a large company with thousands of employees, Berland was responsible for a lot of work beyond everyone's expectations.The design and development of new car series, feedback and research, the organization and operation of various institutions of the company, the work and welfare of employees...all these are within his jurisdiction.A direct result of this is that there are many, many people who have had working contact with Berlander. The serious crime team must identify from these various people who have nothing to do with the case and who may be suspicious.Because the current information that everyone has is very limited, it is impossible to make a more specific analysis of the murderer himself and the motive of the murder, so the crime team can only record all the suspects and check them one by one later.After five or six hours of conversation, they found more than ten suspicious objects.

"Except for those who have absolutely reliable alibi, the rest should be these." Fang Liyuan handed a handwritten list of personnel to Shen Yan, "There are 15 people in total, and 11 of them are internal employees of Citroen. They All of them had conflicts and disputes with the deceased for various reasons. Some of them did not have an alibi, and some of them could provide an alibi, but they needed further verification. There were four other people who were not from this company. Employees, we need to talk to them separately."

Shen Yan took the list from Fang Liyuan—the list was written very briefly, each person only recorded their name, the reason for the conflict with the deceased, and whether there was an alibi.The reason is also summarized in a few words, such as "disagreement of opinions, quarrel", "demotion", "dismissal due to discovery of theft", etc.; the absence certificate is directly simplified into a right and wrong number.Therefore, this list is very concise and clear at a glance.

Shen Yan quickly browsed through the entire list, and then returned it to Fang Liyuan, "Okay, let's focus on these people from now on."

Fang Liyuan took back the list, greeted several other people, and began to arrange the next task.And Shen Yan took out his mobile phone and started calling Cheng Jinsong.

The phone rang several times before it was connected, and Cheng Jinsong's voice came from over there: "Hello?"

"It's me." Because there were outsiders on the side, Shen Yan's tone didn't show much intimacy.He asked in a very normal tone: "How is it, are you back in the game?"

"Well, I'm back." The answer was very brief.

"Have you got all the things of the dead?"

"Well, it's being inspected."

Cheng Jinsong's two answers were extremely brief, which was very different from his previous style, and his tone was a little too steady. Shen Yan felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Are you here?" busy?"

"Well, I'm checking something, I won't chat with you for now, I'll call you later."

"Okay..." Shen Yan responded, and immediately hung up the phone.Shen Yan didn't expect Cheng Jinsong to hang up so quickly, he stared at his mobile phone, feeling a wave of doubt in his heart.

At this moment, Fang Liyuan came over and said to Shen Yan: "The task has been arranged." Seeing Shen Yan staring at the phone in a daze, Fang Liyuan said: "What's wrong? Who's calling?"

"Oh, it's nothing, call back to the bureau and ask about the situation at the forensic evidence." Shen Yan came back to his senses and replied.

"How? What did the forensics find?"

"Not yet, they are still doing physical inspection." Shen Yan glanced at the people behind Fang Liyuan, "How is it? How did you arrange it?"

"Qin Kai and Hai Yang are in a team, and Jiang Li and I are in a team, and we're going to check the alibi of these people separately. How are you? Do you want to act together with us or go back to the game first?"

Shen Yan looked at the mobile phone in his hand - do you want to go back and have a look? ...

Meanwhile, the police station.

In the office, Cheng Jinsong was staring at the screen in front of him and frowning.He didn't expect to find such things from the dead man's phone and computer.Could it be that he was thinking too much?Or……

Cheng Jinsong thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello," a female voice came from the receiver, "Who is this?"

"Xia Nan, I'm Cheng Jinsong."

"Cheng Jinsong?" Xia Nan was surprised at first, and then laughed, "Hey, why do you have my phone number? I still regret that I didn't leave you my number when we met last time."

"Yeah, I remembered it after you left, so I asked someone to find out later." Cheng Jinsong also spoke with a smile.He said in a relaxed tone: "How about old classmate, are you free tonight? We haven't seen each other for so long, let's go out for dinner together later?"

"While?..."

"Is it inconvenient? Is there a dinner tonight?"

"That's not true. It's just that there is an event at the City Hall Plaza at six o'clock tonight, and I have to be there..."

"It's okay, let's just find a place to eat next to the city hall square."

Hearing what Cheng Jinsong said, Xia Nan couldn't help laughing again. "Accommodate me so much? Old classmate, I'm so flattered by you. I'm a little worried that you're looking for me for some other purpose..."

"I'm just afraid that you're too busy at work and won't be able to get an appointment with you." Cheng Jinsong also replied with a smile, "How about Director Xia, can I show you some face?"

"Officer Cheng has already reached this level. Why am I ashamed not to attend? I'll be fine in half an hour. Call me when you arrive at the City Hall Square."

"Okay. Then it's settled. See you later."

"See you later."

Cheng Jinsong hung up the phone, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, he stared at the phone, a complex look flashed across his eyes.

At [-]:[-] p.m., a western restaurant on the west side of the city hall square.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia Nan came to the table by the window. When she saw Cheng Jinsong, she smiled and apologized: "Sorry, I'm late for something."

"It's okay, I've just arrived." Cheng Jinsong smiled thoughtfully, and he handed the menu to Xia Nan, "See what you want to eat. I'll treat you today."

Xia Nan raised her eyes to look at Cheng Jinsong, then took the menu with a smile and flipped through it.

"I want a French fried sea bass, a mushroom soup, and a vegetable salad." Xia Nan said to the waiter.

"Okay," the waiter wrote down one by one, and then looked at Cheng Jinsong, "How about you, sir?"

"I'd like a black pepper steak and a vegetable soup."

"Okay. How mature should the steak be?"

"Seventy percent."

"Ok."

The waiter took down the menu and left.Xia Nan then said: "You only have one steak, can you be full?"

"It's okay, I showed up in the morning, I ate late for lunch, and I'm not too hungry now."

Hearing what Cheng Jinsong said, Xia Nan showed a trace of emotion on his face: "Your work is really hard enough. The three meals are always irregular and the pressure is also high. Speaking of it, I really didn't expect you to be a policeman. With your Academic qualifications and grades are more than enough to go to a company or a foreign company."

Cheng Jinsong smiled: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and we are usually mainly responsible for laboratory tests and inspections. In fact, we don't go out much. Most of the time, we can still eat on time."

"Well, yes. I remember your father was a policeman, right?"

"He's a teacher at the police academy, but he has changed careers for many years, and now he is teaching in a university."

"Eh? Uncle hasn't retired yet?"

"According to his age, he should have arrived, but he is a doctoral supervisor, so he can postpone his retirement for a few years. The old man can't stay idle, so he will continue to teach."

Xia Nan nodded, and then said with emotion: "Time flies so fast! In a blink of an eye, our parents have reached retirement age. By the way, we haven't asked since we met last time. Are you married? Do you have any children?" "

"No, I'm not married yet."

"Isn't it?" Xia Nan's eyes widened in surprise, "You are so outstanding, why haven't you gotten married yet? Isn't it too demanding?"

Cheng Jinsong didn't want to say more, just smiled, and then asked: "What about you? Are you married?"

"No." Xia Nan smiled, "I went abroad for a few years before, and after returning to China, I was busy with work, so I have been single all the time."

"Then do you have a boyfriend now?"

"No."

"Aren't you working in foreign affairs? You can get in touch with many foreign company executives there, right? Find a good one from inside!" Cheng Jinsong raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Hearing what Cheng Jinsong said, Xia Nan couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, I still want to find a Chinese."

"oh, I see."

During the time of chatting, the dishes ordered by the two have been prepared, the waiter brought the dishes to the two, and the two began to chat while eating.

"Speaking of which, what's going on with Bertrand's case? Any progress?"

"Still investigating." Cheng Jinsong said, "By the way, did you know Berland before?"

"I've met a few times." Xia Nan drank his saliva and replied, "This Sino-French event week, our cooperation project with their company is a highlight, and we have held several meetings before."

"Other than that?"

"Besides? Outside of that, we have no contact."

"Is it?"

"Yes," Xia Nan replied casually, but when she raised her eyes, she found that Cheng Jinsong was examining herself, and couldn't help but ask, "Why, you don't believe me?"

Cheng Jinsong glanced at Xia Nan, and then slowly said: "We got Berland's cell phone and call records today, and I found that you have called him many times in the past month..."

Xia Nan couldn't help laughing: "We're just talking about business. Don't you think it's a problem when a man and a woman talk on the phone?"

"Of course I don't think so, but I don't know what Berlander thinks." Cheng Jinsong restrained his smile, and his expression became more serious, "I found in Berlander's mobile phone that he saved a lot of chats between the two of you. The records include WeChat and phone calls. Two friends of the opposite sex who have only known each other for less than a month communicate so frequently." Cheng Jinsong took a deep look at Xia Nan, "I don't think it's normal."

When she heard Cheng Jinsong's previous words, Xia Nan gave her a hand to eat. Obviously, what Cheng Jinsong said surprised her a little.However, she still put the food into her mouth gracefully, and then put down the knife and fork: "Let me just say, you definitely have a different purpose in inviting me to this meal today... Tell me, what exactly does Officer Cheng want to ask me?"

"Xia Nan, I hope you understand that I didn't mean to pry into the privacy between you and Berland, but you also know that now that Berland is dead, we need to find out who killed him, so every doubt I won’t let it go.” He looked at Xia Nan’s expressionless face, and then said: “And you, you obviously have a good relationship with him, but you didn’t tell me at all when we met last time. You acted like As unfamiliar as he is, I wonder why."

Xia Nan took a sip of water and didn't speak.Cheng Jinsong could see that she was hiding something, so he continued: "The reason why I came to you early today is because you are my classmate. If you don't tell me now, our team will also investigate in the future, but it will be inevitable at that time. Let some people in your unit know about it. It might affect you badly."

Xia Nan finally showed a smile when she heard the last sentence: "After hearing this sentence, I can finally hear some concern from my classmates." After finishing speaking, she suppressed her smile and said in a serious tone, "Jin Song, first of all, Thank you for thinking about me. I can tell you responsibly that I have nothing to do with Berland's death. As for my relationship with him, I'm sorry I can't tell you right now." Seeing that Cheng Jinsong seemed about to speak, she raised her head slightly. Hand, "No, listen to me first. The situation between us is a bit complicated, and I can't explain a sentence or two. And it's getting late, I have to go to the venue right away... so, tomorrow morning , I will go to your unit tomorrow morning, and I will give you an explanation then, how about it?"

Cheng Jinsong glanced at Xia Nan, seeing that the other person's expression did not look like a joke, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Xia Nan smiled again: "Then, Officer Cheng, can I continue to finish my meal?"

"Hey! Isn't that Brother Jin?!" Qin Kai suddenly pointed to the side of the road and said in surprise.

"Ah?" Cheng Haiyang and Shen Yan were flipping through the transcripts of the inquiry just now, and when they heard Qin Kai's words, they raised their heads unexpectedly. They looked in the direction of Qin Kai's finger, and saw that in a western restaurant on the side of the road, There were two people sitting on the seat by the window, and the man among them was Cheng Jinsong! !

"Damn! It's really Brother Jin!" Cheng Haiyang also recognized it, "Didn't he just say that he was still doing physical inspections? Why did he come out to eat so soon? He even came here?! Boss, is he cocky?" class!"

Cheng Haiyang's complaint to Shen Yan was naturally a joke, but Shen Yan didn't smile at all after listening.He just stared at the woman opposite Cheng Jinsong, with many question marks in his heart.

Qin Kai also noticed Xia Nan. He touched Cheng Haiyang with his elbow, and pointed at Xia Nan with raised eyebrows: "Didn't you see who Brother Jin was having dinner with?"

Cheng Haiyang also noticed it: "Hey, she... isn't she just the Xia who worked on the foreign affairs yesterday?..."

"Xia Nan."

"Oh yes! Xia Nan! It is said that she and brother Jin are college classmates, right?" Cheng Haiyang seemed to have realized something when he said this, he touched his chin with a smile, "Oh, that's how it is..."

The two guys thought they had discovered something, and laughed wickedly at the same time.

"Hey, speaking of it, this Xia Nan looks pretty good." Qin Kai looked at Xia Nan and said to Cheng Haiyang.

"Well, it's okay. And the job is not bad, and Brother Jin is a classmate, so it's a good match. But why does Brother Jin look so serious? Look, he doesn't even smile."

"Needless to say, I'm nervous! Don't look at Brother Jin who is always laughing and joking with us. He doesn't talk much when he meets girls."

"Hey, tell me, will we have more sisters-in-law this time?"

"Who knows? But brother Jin is not young anymore, if he really meets a suitable one, he should have one. This Xia Nan looks pretty good..."

These two people chatted one after another, but they didn't notice that beside them, the expression on Shen Yan's face became more and more rigid and complicated...
