traces of all things

Early the next morning, Lu Zheng got up and looked at his phone, and found that the screen showed that he had a missed call after midnight, and it was from Qin Han.

"Doesn't he have to go to work today?" Lu Zheng was incredulous. After sighing, he wanted to call back, but gave up when he saw the time on the phone.

It's only seven o'clock in the morning, Qin Han is probably still sleeping, forget it, let's talk about it after get off work.

Before going to work, Lu Zheng went back to the City Bureau to get the piece of paper that he had left there to dry overnight, and then brought the piece of paper back to the Provincial Office to repair it with the equipment from the document inspection laboratory.

After drying, the piece of paper showed its original appearance—it was about the size of a palm, and it was indeed the upper right corner of a newspaper as he thought. The name of the newspaper could be clearly seen, and the date had been completely destroyed.

This is a provincial daily newspaper.

When it was repaired here, Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Province A Daily is the newspaper with the largest circulation in Province A. It can be said that it can be bought everywhere in the province, which is not uncommon.

However, he was not discouraged, holding up the magnifying glass, still trying to find some new clues.

While browsing the blurred content in the newspaper word by word, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

On this small piece of newspaper, there are some damages that don't seem to be formed naturally...

Especially on a small piece of social reports, when the edges of a few small holes are observed with a magnifying glass, they are not rough edges, but neat cut surfaces——

——As if cut by some sharp blade.

However, if it is said that the murderer accidentally cut the body while dismembering the body, these sections are too small to make sense.

Just as Lu Zheng was pinching his chin, thinking about the information that these sections might represent, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory.

"Come in." Lu Zheng said rather casually.

The door was pushed open, and the first person who came in was Xue Yiwei, who looked distraught, followed by Captain Huang Ying and Captain Xian Hongru of the Municipal Bureau, who all looked a little subtle.

The last person to come in was Geng Zhizhong, the black-faced boss.

The atmosphere in the laboratory was a little stagnant for a while.

Lu Zheng keenly sensed something was wrong, took off his gloves and stood up, frowning: "...Is something wrong?"

Xue Yiwei opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Geng Zhizhong stood up at this moment, glanced at Lu Zheng with complicated eyes, and then said, "Lu."

He paused for a second, and then continued the second half of the sentence: "From now on, you are suspended."

There was a rumbling noise in his ears, and Lu Zheng even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, and it took a long time before he realized, and asked in disbelief: "Suspension? Me? Why?"

At this moment, Captain Huang Ying passed Geng Zhizhong and walked over. With a serious face, she made a "please" gesture to Lu Zheng.

"Comrade Lu Zheng, according to the investigation, you are involved in a murder case. Now the public security organs need your cooperation. Please come with us."

"My god, it's not good! Something big happened!"

Wei Xiongfeng bluffed all the way into the toxicology laboratory, where Tang Shaoyuan was doing experiments in a white coat, when he was so noisy that his hands shook and he almost dropped the test tube in his hand.

"What are you doing?" He put down the test tube helplessly.

"I saw it just now! Our team leader has been suspended, and seems to have been taken away!" Wei Xiongfeng looked horrified: "Xue Yiwei said that he was involved in the case—oh shit!"

In the next second, Tang Shaoyuan had already rushed over, grabbing his shoulder as if he was going to crush it, his eyes were red: "Are you serious? What is involved?"

"Oh, it hurts me, take it easy—" Wei Xiongfeng yelled, "Why did I lie to you? A body was found in the north of the city in the middle of the night last night, and it is said that key evidence was found at the scene... Hey! Wait Wait for me, I want to go too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shaoyuan left him and rushed out of the laboratory, not even taking off his white coat in time.

The two hurriedly came to the outside of the interrogation room one after the other. Tang Shaoyuan stood outside the door anxiously and looked through the single-sided glass. At a glance, he saw Lu Zheng sitting on the "tiger chair" in the restricted area in a daze , a few criminal police officers from the city bureau next to him were handcuffing him.

His round eyes were wide open, and his expression looked bewildered, confused, and a little helpless.

Tang Shaoyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, without even thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to unscrew the door and go in.

"Little Tang, calm down."

His wrists were grasped by a pair of powerful hands. Tang Shaoyuan looked up with red eyes. It was Geng Zhizhong. He also had a sad face at this time: "We cannot participate in this interrogation. It is suspected of favoritism."

"Boss!" Tang Shaoyuan seemed to have found his backbone the moment he saw him, and quickly grabbed Geng Zhizhong's sleeve: "What's going on? You know, brother, how could he commit a crime? He's not that kind of person—— "

Geng Zhizhong patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, telling him to calm down a bit: "Don't panic, the truth will definitely come to light. It may be a coincidence. I also think it is impossible for Lu to do such a thing."

Although he got Geng Zhizhong's guarantee, Tang Shaoyuan still felt anxious and fidgeted in the waiting room outside the interrogation room.

**

Lu Zheng in the interrogation room didn't know that Tang Shaoyuan was waiting hard outside the door.

The moment he sat in the tiger chair, there were two "dang lang" and "dang lang" sounds, and the handcuffs fell, and the cold touch made him suddenly feel real.

I... am the suspect...?

Lu Zheng looked at his hand in disbelief, feeling that the whole world was ridiculous.

Some young criminal policemen who were familiar with him in the Municipal Bureau were all kicked out because they were afraid that their emotions would affect the interrogation. Just sneered at this interrogation.

"Xiao Lu." Captain Huang Ying looked very amiable, and first came up to chat with the bewildered Lu Zheng: "What's wrong with you?"

on hand?Lu Zheng didn't react for a while, he lowered his head and turned his eyes around, only to see a band-aid on his left hand.

Ah... this...

It's a shame to say that when he got up this morning, he suddenly realized that he also had a partner, so he decided to cook on a whim and try cooking.

"If Shao Yuan cooks all the meals when we live together in the future, wouldn't he be very tired?" Lu Zheng thought, thinking of all kinds of "how to be a qualified boyfriend" and "how to be a boyfriend" he searched last night. What a little attack" and other webpages, he rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and used the only ingredients left in the refrigerator to make a sandwich that should have no difficulty as he expected.

The result is what it is now, honorably wounded.

"I was cut by a knife when I was cooking this morning." Lu Zheng moved his fingers calmly and tore off the band-aid on his left hand, revealing a red scar.

When Xian Hongru heard this, he frowned immediately: "Xiao Lu, don't you know how to cook?"

Lu Zheng has handled several cases in the Municipal Bureau, and everyone who has worked with him knows his virtue.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng didn't know how to explain it, so he shook his head: "I did it on a whim this morning."

Huang Ying and Xian Hongru looked at each other, and there was something in their eyes that Lu Zheng couldn't understand.

Lu Zheng looked at the eyes of the two, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Huang Ying sorted out the documents in front of her, and finally got to the point. She raised her head and asked sharply, "Do you know Qin Han, the prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate?"

Seeing Lu Zheng nodding, she continued to ask: "What is the relationship between you? When was the last time we met?"

"We are classmates in junior high school and high school, and we have a good relationship." Lu Zheng said, "The last time we met... was when we played a basketball game with the provincial prosecutor."

"Did you get in touch later?"

"Yes." Lu Zheng said, "I talked to him on the phone when I was in Jiang Province a while ago."

After finishing speaking, Huang Ying and Xian Hongru nodded solemnly, seemingly silent.

Lu Zheng tasted something different in this silence, and felt even more anxious.

What on earth happened?Is it related to Qin Han?

"I'm sorry, Captain Huang, Deputy Xian." Lu Zheng couldn't bear it any longer: "Can you tell me why you called me here today?"

Captain Huang Ying sighed invisibly, looked him in the eyes firmly, and told the reason for inviting him to the interrogation room.

"At three o'clock this morning, we received a report from the masses that a male body was found in an alley on Hulu Street in the north of the city." Huang Ying said: "According to the identification and ID information, the deceased's name was Qin Han, and he belonged to the provincial procuratorate. a prosecutor."

Huang Ying's voice was fluttering, but it was like a huge hammer hitting Lu Zheng's heart.

He sat in place for a while, losing the ability to speak.

**

"What?" Tang Shaoyuan listened to Geng Zhizhong finish the basic case outside the interrogation room, and he was as shocked as Lu Zheng inside the room: "Qin Han? The provincial prosecutor?"

Geng Zhizhong nodded with some sadness: "Just 30 years old... the guy who came to the provincial inspection match last time, a guy who plays basketball very well, you have an impression."

Tang Shaoyuan's lips lost their color.

Although he has always been envious and jealous of Qin Han and Lu Zheng's closeness since middle school, and later became jealous frequently, but after all, this is also a fresh life he is familiar with. Not long ago, they were fighting together on the court. Qin Han Han also staged a beautiful slam dunk in front of him. Why did he disappear so suddenly?

Moreover, how did the senior brother have anything to do with Qin Han's sudden death?

Thinking of this, he asked eagerly.

"The cause of death was the rupture of the main artery." Geng Zhizhong sighed: "The place where the accident happened is Calabash Street. There are many bars in that area. There were traces of struggles at the scene. Preliminary speculation, it should be pushed to the ground after a scuffle with someone. The sharp edge of the broken iron can that was not cleaned up cut his thigh, and he lost a lot of blood, and he died within a few minutes of his injury."

"As for how it has something to do with Lu..." Geng Zhizhong also shook his head with a puzzled look on his face: "There were traces of fighting at the scene, so the bloodstains of the murderer and Qin Han were left behind. The comparison was completed. And Qin Han's mobile phone was also found at the scene. One hour before his death, the last call was with Lu, and when Qin Han was injured and dying, he turned on the mobile phone and displayed on the screen Pressed Lu Zheng's phone number."
