dark crossing

It was already daylight when we came out of the cemetery.

The two sat back in the car, Chu Huainan looked down at his watch.

"I have something to do in the morning, and I'll be free in the afternoon. How about taking you home first?"

Shen Ting sat lazily leaning against the seat, nestled comfortably on the seat and pointed Jiang Shan: "No, I have an appointment with a friend, and I want to go back to Yuehuai. You take me to Yuehuai first."

Turning his head and seeing Chu Huainan staring at him, he slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a teasing smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you still suspect that I'm hiding in the Yuehuai Golden House!"

Chu Huainan guessed that Shen Ting's frequent "dates with friends" was probably due to the email signed by Whisper.He smiled meaningfully and asked back: "Are you not pretending to be self-confessed?"

"I'm not a fool! I'm with you, even if you want to hide your beauty in a golden house, I won't hide you in a hotel under your Yuannan banner!"

Chu Huainan, who got the person in front of him to stamp "I'm in the middle", started the Land Rover with a smile.

Everyone in the Criminal Investigation Detachment has a sense of time.

Before nine o'clock, a group of people had already gathered in Yuehuai.

Wen Di and his colleagues from the trace department were busy all night in Jiang Zhai.

However, indoors, apart from the traces of tool prying on the doors and windows on the second floor, which have been recorded before, there are no other clear findings.

Shen Ting looked carefully at the indoor photos of Jiang Zhai brought by Wen Di.

It could be seen that Jiang Maiyun and Wang Zhilei left in a hurry, and the living room and bedroom were a little messy.

And in the basement, where he emphasized yesterday that extra attention should be paid, no suspicious traces were found.

But compared to other places, Jiang's basement is very clean.

Looking at the spotless ground in the photo, Shen Ting frowned slightly.

No fingerprints, no footprints, not even normal signs of use.This basement seemed to have been cleaned intentionally, and it was exceptionally clean.

Although the indoor survey has not made much progress, there are new discoveries in the outdoor garden.There are obvious signs of turning over the new soil in the flowerbed, and the area involved is large.

There is no news of Jiang Shiyin, but Jiang Maiyun still has the time to rebuild the garden?

With such questions in mind, Wendi called the community security early this morning.Accompanied by security guards, they visited other residents who had a little contact with the Jiang family on weekdays.

According to the descriptions of the neighbors, Jiang's family has been a bit of a loser recently.

First, her daughter Jiang Shiyin disappeared, and then the golden retriever that had been raised at home for many years suddenly bit her owner in a frenzy.

And Jiang Maiyun, who has always been mild-tempered and a good gentleman in the eyes of his neighbors, actually beat the golden retriever to death in public not long ago!

"He seemed crazy, uncharacteristically brutal! No matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, he finally beat the dog to death!"

There was a lot of noise in Jiang's family beating dogs that day, and the scene was also very tragic.After all, the neighbors are ordinary people, and they still have lingering fears when recalling the bloody scene, so several of them were deeply impressed.

But after regaining his senses, Jiang Maiyun expressed to the neighbors he met during the walk quite sadly that he still has a lot of affection for this golden retriever that he has raised for many years, and he is really reluctant to treat its corpse as harmful. Garbage disposal.So I plan to bury it in my yard.

"So the large area of ​​soil in Jiang's flower garden was newly turned because the dog was buried on the spot?"

Pan Xiaozhu's parents also have dogs.She knows that when a dog dies, many owners will choose to bury it under the nearest tree.Those who are more particular will find a one-stop service for pet funerals.

But a dog breed like a golden retriever weighs tens of kilograms at least when it grows up, and there are very few people who choose to bury it in their own yard.After all, to bury a large dog of this size, it is not a small project just to dig the soil, let alone backfill.

And what is the reason why Jiang Maiyun, who has maintained the image of Mr. Haohao for many years, used violence openly and uncharacteristically, letting so many people know that he killed his pet?

Shen Ting frowned, thinking of that overly clean basement again.

Although, according to the testimonies of the onlookers, Jiang's garden was renovated because a vicious dog was buried.But Shen Ting thought about it for a while and still felt uneasy.So, I asked Wendi to ask him to find someone to dig up the flower garden that Jiang Zhai had just filled up, and then dig it up again to see if there was indeed only a golden retriever buried underneath.

Compared with the slow progress of on-site investigation, the investigation of bank flow has gained a lot.

The details of the account under Jiang Maiyun's name show that he has close financial transactions with many companies.Among them, the amount of transactions with Junfeng Times Information Technology and Jianghu Hammer Auction House is the largest.

The legal representative in the Junfeng era was named Zhu Huan.

After seeing his bareheaded photo, Shen Ting immediately recognized that this Zhu Huan was the boy A Huan who received them in the dogfighting arena and helped Huang Chenghao buy fruit tea.

"Continue to investigate along this line, and find out whether there are any people who have financial ties with Junfeng era and have left a criminal record because of gambling."

Everyone in the special operations team has become accustomed to the leaping thinking of their Shen team.But not everyone can be like Chu Huainan, who has a tacit understanding like the roundworm in his stomach.

The four team members, including Chen Cong, all looked at Shen Ting in unison, waiting for his next words with question marks on their faces.

Living with Chu Huainan, he was almost getting used to the heart-to-heart listening of the other party and himself, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and added: "I met Zhu Huan in the banned dog fighting ring before, it should be the time of Junfeng. The outer shell of a dog fighting arena. If you find someone with a gambling record, you all invite him back to 'have a cup of tea' and see if you can ask more about Jiang Maiyun."

Speaking of this, the big guys understood Shen Ting's intentions.

If the police can confirm that the real business content of Junfeng Era is gambling.

So Jiang Maiyun, who has participated in so many games and involved such a huge amount of money, is no longer just a small gambler!Participating in gambling for the purpose of profit has already met the filing standards!It is convenient for the police to launch an online pursuit of Jiang Maiyun who committed a gambling crime, but escaped subjectively and disappeared from the world!

After Shen heard this, he turned around and asked Chen Cong to inquire about Hammer Sound Auction House as soon as possible.

Chen Cong immediately said that he would go to the auction house in the afternoon to investigate which auction items Jiang Maiyun frequently bought, and to find out the counterparty of the transaction.

"Where is Zhao Yetai? Is there anything unusual?"

It's only been a day, even if Zhao Yetai is really an accomplice, Shen Ting doesn't expect the other party to show his feet immediately.

Jiang Zhi, who was in charge of tracking the control, really shook his head, "Zhao Yetai is still commuting normally, at three o'clock and one line, so far, it seems that there is nothing particularly suspicious."

……

When I returned from the meeting, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Aunt Zhao took advantage of the solar term to go back to her hometown to visit relatives, and she won't be back until two days later.

Chu Huainan rarely had time in the afternoon, so he prepared to cook a meal at home by himself.

Shen Ting, who has never been in the sun since childhood, has seen the cooking skills of this capitalist, so he has no objection.

He got up at four o'clock in the morning, got up too early, and had a meeting that required a lot of energy, so he felt a little tired at this time.Too lazy to toss up and down, he simply parked the car in the basement, took the same car with Chu Huainan, and went straight to the supermarket without even returning home.

"Enslaving" the vicious capitalist to be the driver, Shen Ting rested in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and took a nap with peace of mind.

Chu Huainan saw him sleeping like a vigilant cat with his arms folded.I deliberately drove for more than ten minutes, and made a detour to the vegetable market near Shen Ting's alma mater in middle school.

The school district system in Jianghu City has been in shape for a long time, and Shen Ting Middle School most likely entered the school according to the place of residence.Therefore, Chu Huainan bet that Shen Ting's home should be near this area.

And his luck has always been good.

Shen Ting closed his eyes and rested for a while, suddenly felt that the journey was a bit too long.Opening his eyes, he realized that what Chu Huainan drove to was not a supermarket near Tangcheng, but a vegetable market full of life.

This place looks so familiar!He was so startled that he woke up instantly, looked at the capitalist with a cold light in his eyes, and asked knowingly, "Where is this?"

Chu Huainan has basically figured out the other party's suspicious thoughts, lowered his eyes and sighed in melancholy: "The vegetable market on xx Road. My mother liked lively and smoky places when she was alive. She used to bring my father here to buy food. .”

Apart from the fact that the place of purchase was wrong, what Chu Huainan said was the truth.

Speaking of which, the Chu family has been distinguished and distinguished for generations since hundreds of years ago, but in such a large and prosperous family, there are very few dudes.

This is related to the Chu family's family tradition and ancestral precepts.

Until now, in the study room of the old house where Grandma Chu lives, there is still a calligraphy and painting handed down by her ancestors.

This is written by the old ancestor who honored the lintel of the Chu family, who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven by himself hundreds of years ago-"The fireworks in the world are far better than the wind and moon in the sky. 』

Facing Shen Ting's still untrustworthy scrutiny, Chu Huainan explained in a good-tempered manner: "Although the Chu family is not short of money, the Chu family seldom has excessive extravagance. I have been to the vegetable market."

Not too short of money?That's called being rich as an enemy, right?

The capitalist is too modest, and Shen Ting acquiesced that "too modest is pride."

Looking at the other party's low-key but expensive attire, Shen Ting stretched his arms and said "Oh", and then lazily said: "I have always been inactive, and I don't know the grains. It's up to you to buy vegetables."

Chu Huainan knew very well that this person's waist was tough and strong, and his body's explosive power was astonishing.Therefore, the sentence "the four bodies are not diligent" must be false, as for the five grains...

"Bring me some onions."

"Okay." Shen Ting quickly pulled a few garlic sprouts for him.

Chu Huainan: ...

Shen Ting: "Boss, how much is this water spinach?"

Vendor: "That's Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum."

Chu Huainan: ...

Shen Ting: "Then what about the chives?"

Vendor: "That's garlic yellow."

Chu Huainan: ...

It's even more ironic when buying fruit.

Shen Ting: "Excuse me, why is this dragon fruit yellow?"

The owner of the fruit shop: "Young man, this is bird's nest fruit, which is produced in Erdogua. It is different from dragon fruit. This one is more delicious!"

"Then how do you sell this papaya?"

"Uh, that's not a papaya, it's a cocoa fruit..."

Chu Huainan: ...

After walking around, Chu Huainan deeply realized what it means to "not distinguish the five grains".

As the light of Yenching University, Shen Ting not only has a textbook-like professional performance, but also has the ability to "distinguish five grains" that surpasses ordinary people! ! !

Completely speechless, Chu Huainan carried two bags of fruits and vegetables, one bag of meat, and one bag of fish to the exit of the market.And Shen Ting, who was empty-handed, put his hands in his pockets and leisurely followed behind the capitalist who he used as a coolie.

I ran into a woman carrying a green bag head-on.She looked to be in her early 50s, not tall and very thin.Her hair was tied behind her head in a smart bun, but the few bangs that fell on both sides of her cheeks made this pale aunt very gentle and gentle.

Chu Huainan felt that she looked very familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

And Shen Ting also saw her, but he quickly turned his face away after just a glance.

Chu Huainan and Shen Ting walked side by side, the two of them were out of tune with the atmosphere of the vegetable market, they looked like white swans who fell into the chicken flock, and even dropped two of them at once, which was naturally very eye-catching, and it was hard for people not to pay attention.

The aunt apparently saw them too.There was a hint of consternation on the face that was originally calm.

Chu Huainan was still recalling where he had met the other party.The middle-aged aunt, who had tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, suddenly lowered her face.

The three of them walked past each other around the two-way passage surrounded by metal railings in front of the market.

Before I walked a few steps, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Hey! An aunt here has fainted! Who of you should call 120!"

Chu Huainan turned his head to look, and saw that the woman who had just met them fell at the door.

Shen Ting beside him had already rushed out before him.

Chu Huainan was startled, took out his phone and quickly dialed 120.

After calling the ambulance, seeing Shen Ting patted the other person's shoulder anxiously, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this aunt before.

The photo of this aunt was once included in Shen Ting's files by the private detective and handed to him. ——She is Shen Ting's mother!
