slip through the net [criminal investigation]

He turned around and came back with a stack of notebooks: "I found it! It's this one! Blue SUV, license plate number Lan B54321! Among the cars that passed by the crime scene within an hour before and after the time of the crime, this was the only one that was covered. Card!"

"Can you find out where it went?"

"I have asked the technical department to keep an eye on this car, they should know where this car is going!"

As soon as he said that he quickly put the notebook down, he picked up the phone, and hung up the phone after a while: "Painting factory! This car finally drove near a painting factory!"

"Paint factory?" Qin Yile suddenly raised his head from the map, "There is an abandoned paint factory workshop not far from the deceased's house. I noticed it when I visited!"

Gu Yuzhe probed: "Yes! That's the one!"

"This is the only place that meets both the distance from the first crime scene and the route of the corpse throwing tool! It only takes less than 10 minutes to drive from the deceased's home to the paint factory!"

Ying Cheng immediately made a decision: "That's it! Qin Yile leads the way, Lu Weiwei informs the person in charge of this workshop to cooperate with the investigation, Gu Zai continues to check the car, find the driver's frontal video for me! The others follow me, call the police!"

Xu Fan said "I'll get the treasure chest", turned around and ran away.

However, when he was about to go out, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother suddenly appeared at the door of the office, and Zhao's father was still carrying a large bag of chemical fertilizers on his shoulders.

They were already old, and now they were supporting each other, making them look even older. Looking closely, the half-white hair yesterday was actually completely white today.

They wore shabby clothes with oil stains on them, but they held their heads high, carrying a soldier-like fighting spirit, just crossed the office like this, as if they had crossed the entire mountain and sea, and walked towards Xie Lin.

Xie Lin became nervous for no reason, he stretched out his hand to support the old man, pulled a stool for them to sit first: "Uncle Zhao, Auntie, why are you here?"

Mother Zhao raised her hand to signal that she would not sit down.She stubbornly stood up straight to make herself look less pitiful, but because of the habit she had developed over the years, she couldn't help but bend down slowly: "Officer, you are good people. You are all good people, why don't you let a bad old man like us Poor old lady seeking justice, hard work.

My son is stupid, he is abnormal, others look down on him, and look down on our family, but you don't.

You are all good guys who have been working hard to solve the case and caught the killer in less than 24 hours.My son can't come back now, but he didn't die in vain.Thank you, thank you very much. "

Ying Cheng shuddered, and subconsciously glanced at Xie Lin—did they really identify Jiang Huan?

Xie Lin felt at a loss for the first time after many years of employment.He looked at Ying Cheng and then at the two old men, his throat was suddenly blocked and he couldn't speak.

Zhao's mother took the fertilizer bag from Zhao's father's back rustlingly, and pulled out a long strip of scarlet, which was a bit dazzling.

Sure enough, it was a pennant.

She shook the pennant and unfolded it, only to see that it read "Thunder strikes, solve the case quickly", and it was presented as a "good policeman of the people".There was silence in the office, Xie Lin trembled and didn't dare to answer.

— the flag was too heavy for him to lift.

Mother Zhao didn't realize it at all.Seeing that the other party didn't pick it up, she just put the pennant on the table, and took out bags of fresh vegetables and eggs from the tattered fertilizer bag, and smiled shyly: "It's all grown at home." Yes, it's not worth a lot of money, it's a bit dirty, I went to pick it early in the morning, and I haven't had time to wash it yet, so don't dislike it.

We can't afford to give away any expensive things, you share a share, take it back to cook and eat, share a share, fresh. "

No one spoke or moved, and the entire office fell into a deadly silence.

Father Zhao looked back and forth, suddenly became nervous, and rubbed his hands together: "Good stuff! They're all good stuff, they haven't been treated with pesticides, and they're fresher than the ones sold in the vegetable market. Take it yourself, take it yourself."

Lu Weiwei didn't dare to look directly into their sincere eyes, but her eye sockets were stung by their embarrassment at the moment, forcing her to have nowhere to hide, when she was about to go forward, she was grabbed by Xie Lin.

He took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and said, "I'm sorry, this case is still under further investigation and has not been closed. Uncle Zhao, Auntie, I'm really sorry to let you have a good time. We will investigate it as soon as possible." Yes, take the things back first, we can’t accept them.”

Zhao's mother didn't understand. She couldn't organize the words for a while, and looked around the people in the office back and forth, and found that everyone was silently looking at the couple. She was so nervous that her mind went blank, and said falteringly: "But ... But, I... I saw him, I saw that person! I really saw him, it was really him!

Why didn't the case close?Why can't the case be closed?Did you stop shooting him?what happened?How...how could this be? "

"Yes, the case is not closed. Now we have found new evidence, and we are going to check it. Please wait patiently. We will give you an explanation, and we will be worthy of this pennant."

"Verification?"

"Yes, we will continue to investigate."

She still couldn't understand, widened her innocent old eyes, looked around in a daze, and suddenly took a step back in fear, and burst into tears: "You lied to me!"

Xie Lin wanted to help but was pushed away by Zhao's father. With a loud voice, he yelled loudly: "Sure enough, there is no good thing for a policeman! Don't f*cking fool me, I know everything! Both of us It’s useless to point it out, don’t fucking think I don’t know, I’ve heard about it! How much did they pay? Don’t think we can bully you because we don’t have money, I’ll never end with you!”

The soaring anger made Xie Lin unable to find a chance to intervene, only to hear Mother Zhao rushing forward and grabbing his collar: "Why did I trust you, why did I trust you! Don't think that we I don't know, we heard the discussion at the door, saying that the little boy...

That bastard is the little boy who was kept by your police!

Investigate?Check your fart!You will never check him for the rest of your life!

You just want to consume our old husband and wife, thinking that when we die, my son will be left alone, don't you?Don't think about it! "

"What kind of support, what little boy, what are you talking about?"

"Pretend, still pretend! Don't think that we are easy to lie when we are old!"

Zhao's mother turned around and saw the pennant on the table again. The eight bright yellow characters looked so dazzling and ridiculous. She snatched the scissors from the table and cut and pulled the bright red pennant until it was smashed into pieces and piled up into a ball. Throwing it on the ground, the tears stained it with deeper red, "What kind of policeman, what kind of case was solved, what kind of justice, my son will never have justice in his life, do you deserve it? Do you deserve it! Officials protect each other, corruption breaks the law! You...you are all accomplices! Give back my son's life!"

"That's not the case. Listen to me. We do have new clues now and are investigating. You don't want to catch the wrong person, right?"

"Caught the wrong person?" Zhao's father's eyes widened like copper bells, his emaciated body was stuffed with grief and savage violence like a mountain, "We identified him, he is the murderer, he should be shot! You... ...You are a bunch of idiots who have received money! You give back my son... give back my son!"

Seeing that Zhao's father was about to pounce on Xie Lin with his teeth and claws, although Ying Cheng was quick to stop him, he could stop one but not two.

With a crisp sound of "click", an egg hit Xie Lin's forehead, and the viscous egg white wrapped in the broken egg yolk slid down from his cheek.

He stood there in a daze, not moving.He thought of the heart-piercing pain of the two old men who lost their only son in that small, damp courtyard full of family warmth—

He really wanted to help them.

There was a second of silence in the office, and Lu Weiwei was the first to react. She jumped up and pushed and shoved the two old people out of the office. The heads of the people piled up like flowing water, as if the whole world was crushing in a certain direction.

Ying Cheng took out a tissue and stuffed it into Xie Lin's palm, grabbed him and ran away, avoiding the crowd and heading for the duty room.

Xie Lin was in a trance, and was dragged away numbly. When he realized it, he was already in the bathroom of the duty room. Ying Cheng's voice was ethereal, as if it came from far away, calling his name over and over again.

He quickly said "It's okay", wiped his face with a tissue indiscriminately, bent down and buried his whole face in the pool.

Ying Cheng's voice became even more distant under the murmur of the water. After a while, he couldn't hear it clearly, and finally raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"

Ying Cheng lowered his head, sincerely and owed: "I'm sorry."

"Do not blame you."

"Xie Lin..."

He laughed: "I have been doing this for so many years. I have been attacked by criminals many times, and I have taken a lot of pennants. It is the first time that the victim's family has smashed eggs. Let's take it as if I have collected all the hidden money blind boxes."

Ying Cheng followed his wishes, leaned against the door and smiled: "What's the matter, do you still think you're lucky?"

Xie Lin's smile froze on his face, he supported the sink and slowly lowered his head, his broad back showing infinite sadness.

He said: "I made the promise, and it was also I who failed to give them the truth they wanted. I also admit that I was smashed. After all... I really failed the phrase "people's police." "

"There is nothing to live up to. I was too impatient. There is no favorable evidence. They shouldn't be allowed to identify Jiang so early. I should have thought about the consequences if they could identify Jiang."

"No, Yingcheng, now is not the time to argue about who is responsible for who is right and who is wrong. The responsibility is not on you or me, let alone
