Special Case Investigation Team VI

Cheng Jin opened the vacation group to observe.

You Duo is still in the northwest, measuring various data in a certain lake with a group of scientists; Xiao An is still at Ye Lai's house, going out every day to check in attractions and restaurants, looking very leisurely.

Cheng Jin: "Si Mi, may I call Xiao An?"

"Live here?" Yang Simi immediately grasped the key.

Cheng Jin suppressed his guilty conscience and pretended to be calm: "Yes."

"Oh." Yang Simi raised his upper body and looked around, "Fortunately, this bedroom is big enough."

"what?"

"You will have to dance here from now on." Yang Simi said, "I'm looking forward to it."

"..."

Cheng Jin opened Xiaoan's chat box and asked her: Do you want to come to Snow Deer Valley?

Xiaoan replied immediately: Yes, yes!

Xiao An: Boss, you and Teacher Yang are in Snow Deer Valley now?

Cheng Jin added: By the way, investigate a case.

Cheng Jin: Yes, we are now at Jinmeng Villa in Xuelu Valley.

Xiaoan: What case?

Cheng Jin: I'll tell you later.

Cheng Jin closed the chat box, contacted the criminal policeman just now, and asked him if there is anyone proficient in drone technology in the Public Security Bureau here. If not, he can help him find one. They don't need to pay for it or anything else. , but their case will be changed to cooperate with the special case team.

The criminal policeman said that he needed to ask the leader for instructions first.

Half an hour later, Cheng Jin received a call back, but the person on the other end was no longer the criminal policeman, but his leader.

The criminal police and the leader are both employees of the County Public Security Bureau. At first, the police from the town police station came to understand the case. Later, the case became complicated and was handed over to the County Public Security Bureau.

The leader politely asked Cheng Jin why he cared so much about this case. Is there anything special about this case?

Cheng Jin told the truth, saying that he came to play on vacation, and happened to come across this case, and wanted to do his best.

"...You mean you're with us now?"

Cheng Jin: "Yes. I'm in Snow Deer Valley, and I live in Jinmeng Villa."

"...Okay, okay, I understand."

After a while, the leader and the criminal police finally figured it out. It turned out that Cheng Jin’s statement was included in the transcripts made by the police at the town police station, and he was the one who discovered that Qu Zhe’s accident was not an accident...

Next, let's talk about the cooperation in handling the case, and it went very smoothly. The leaders also figured out the status of their own bureau in this case.

The leader said that he wanted to meet with Cheng Jin tomorrow to discuss the case.

Cheng Jin declined, and asked him to send a criminal police captain to come over, and bring more people who are familiar with Xuelu Valley. In addition, he also brought Qu Zhe's mobile phone and other physical evidence to show him.

After finishing the call, Cheng Jin reopened the social software.

Seeing that Ye Lai sent him a message: Boss, I heard from Xiao An that you asked her to go to Snow Deer Valley?How about I come too?

Cheng Jin replied: OK.

He pulled a small group of three people and told the basic situation of the case to be investigated.

Xiaoan said after listening: I just came out this time with a drone, which can come in handy.

Cheng Jin didn't say anything, even if Xiaoan didn't bring the drone, the Public Security Bureau should have one here, so just borrow it.

Ye Lai went to check the traffic, and came back and said: Boss, we have to take the plane first and then transfer to the car, and we will arrive at Snow Deer Valley tomorrow afternoon.

Cheng Jin: Good.

At around 8 a.m. the next day, more than a dozen criminal and civilian police officers from the County Public Security Bureau and the Town Police Station came to Xuelugu.

The leader is Gan Zhiliang, in his 40s, and he is the captain of the criminal police team; there is another man named Miao Hao, in his 30s, he is the deputy captain, and he is also the criminal policeman who talked with Cheng Jin on the phone before.

The detectives borrowed the elementary school classroom in North Valley of Snow Deer Valley as their office.

——It’s summer vacation, the students are on vacation, and the classroom happens to be empty.

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went to join them, and Cheng Jin saw the physical evidence they brought. They brought the whole of Qu Zhe's big backpack, and there was another very eye-catching thing: a piece of paper that was smaller than a football. Regular boulders.

Gan Zhiliang explained: "After Quzhe fell down the pit, he hit this rock."

He took out the photo of Quzhe's head from the hospital and put it next to the stone for comparison: "It was the tip of the stone that caused Quzhe's skull fracture."

"It wasn't that he fell into the pit and hit the rock. Someone should have smashed his head with this rock." Cheng Jin said, "Afterwards, he was thrown into the pit by the assailant, who put the murder weapon—that is, the A stone was also put into the pit and placed in a good position to create the illusion that Qu Zhe fell into the pit and injured himself."

Gan Zhiliang nodded: "So it is."

Cheng Jin felt that he didn't believe him, so he asked, "Are you inclined to think that Qu Zhe's incident was an accident?"

Gan Zhiliang was taken aback for a moment, then denied: "No, no..."

Yang Simi glanced at him: "If you have something, you have it. People in this business should know how important honesty is."

"..."

"It's okay." Cheng Jin said, "Let's start discussing the case."

Discuss the case first, then assign tasks.

Cheng Jin listed the things to be done: "Before Qu Zhe's accident, a villager saw him near the place where he died. Talk to that villager and ask him if he saw other people on the mountain at that time, especially their natives;

"Last year when Zhu Yong had a car accident, besides himself, there were four other people at the scene, namely the driver Lao Yu, the vice president Sun Youwei, the housekeeper Wan Cheng, and another driver Lao Niu. Among them, Lao Yu has passed away. Find the 4 people who are still alive and talk about the car accident;

"As for the driver, Old Yu, his child was found to be seriously ill some time before the car accident. During the car accident, he said that he saw falling rocks. After the car accident, he died of alcohol poisoning. Ask his family, friends, colleagues and neighbors to find out about these three things.

"Zhu Yong was followed when he went to Xiaoyue Lake, and when he went to climb the snow mountain, he encountered falling rocks. Among them, the trip to the snow mountain should be at least two people's cooperation. Chat with the villagers to see if anyone knows anything.

"By the way, if someone asks you about me, you can say that I am your advisor."

The criminal police left one after another, leaving two small policemen guarding the school.

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi also left the school, instead of going back to Jinmeng Villa, they took a stroll in the village.

When he walked to the door of a beverage store, Yang Simi stopped: "I want to drink."

"Okay." Cheng Jin replied.But what he thought in his heart was that he could chat with the waiter or the boss in the store later, and if he was lucky, he might be able to get some news.

The two walked into the beverage store, and there was a girl in her 20s sitting behind the counter. Judging by her appearance and attire, she should be a local. There is a high probability that this store is run by her family.

There are no other customers in the store at the moment. It is estimated that the tourists living in the village have all gone out to play at this point, and the new tourists are still on their way.

Yang Simi: "Boss, do you have special drinks?"

The boss didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked him to read the menu by himself.

Cheng Jin also looked around, but he didn't see wild fruit drinks, they were all quite normal and popular drinks.

Yang Simi seemed to know what he was thinking, and asked him, "Are you going to pick wild raspberries?"

"Let's have a drink first."

The two ordered two glasses of juice, sat by the window and drank the juice while watching the scenery.

The clouds rolled up in the sky, especially in the direction of the snow-capped mountains, where there was a sea of ​​white clouds, and it felt like the "sea water" was about to pour into Xuelu Valley.

"It's quite spectacular." Cheng Jin said, "But, boss, is it going to rain?"

The boss at the counter said: "It's going to rain. It's already raining on the mountain. If you look carefully, you can see the rain line."

"Oh?" Cheng Jin stared at the clouds in the direction of the snow-capped mountains, and really saw a large blurred line, which was the trace left by countless drops of rainwater falling from the sky.

Yang Simi took a few sips of his own drink, and he didn't want to drink anymore, so he exchanged his cup with Cheng Jin's and drank Cheng Jin's cup.

Cheng Jin smiled.

At this time, there was a slight movement beside him. He turned his head and saw a cat jumped onto the bench he was sitting on, lay down and began to sleep.

Yang Simi looked at it and said, "Give it to me."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Boss, does this cat belong to your family?"

"Yes, it's very well behaved."

Cheng Jin tentatively touched the cat's back, but the cat didn't move, it seemed that he was used to being touched, so he picked it up and handed it to Yang Simi who was opposite.

Yang Simi took it and stroked the cat's head, and the cat looked up at him.

Cheng Jin raised his phone to take a picture.

Yang Simi touched the cat a few more times before putting it on the bench, as if his enthusiasm could only last for a few seconds.

Cheng Jin put down his mobile phone, looking for something to say: "Boss, do you know anyone from Jinmeng Villa?"

"Know some, many of the people who work there are locals."

"Oh," Cheng Jin said with a smile, "then do you know Zuo Feiyan?" He felt that the two of them seemed to be of the same age.

"Yes. You know her too?"

Cheng Jin made up: "Well, I passed by with her when I went out to play. She is very nice and helped us a little. Is she from your place?"

"No, she is an outsider, but she has often come here since she was a child, and she will come here every long holiday."

"I remembered, she seems to have said that her relatives are here, and her relatives work in Jinmeng Villa, right?" Cheng Jin didn't make up this time, he guessed it.

Boss: "Yes, her uncle is the housekeeper of Jinmeng Villa, and the female boss of Jinmeng Villa even recognized her as her daughter."

"Oh." Unexpectedly, Zuo Feiyan's status in Jinmeng Villa is quite high.No wonder Weng Ni didn't fire her, because she couldn't be the master. "Is she married? I saw her with a nice guy before. I don't know if they are boyfriend and girlfriend or they are married."

This was also made up, in fact Cheng Jin wanted to know if Zuo Feiyan and Zhu Yong were closely related, if they had something to do with each other, they would be gossiped, after all Zhu Yong is considered number one here.

The boss just said: "No, she is not married yet."

Cheng Jin cheekily asked: "Who is that young man? I think he likes Zuo Feiyan quite a lot, and I always think he looks familiar."

Boss: "Maybe it's Niu Taifeng? He's the owner of Maverick Hotel."

Unexpectedly, he heard an unfamiliar name. Cheng Jin was surprised, but still reacted quickly and said: "Oh, then I should have met him in the village, so I think he looks familiar."

While talking, Cheng Jin thought of another thing: "Xiao Niu, is his father the old cow? I mean is his father the old cow who drove in Jinmeng Mountain Villa?"

When Zhu Yong was in a car accident last year, they had two cars at the time. The car Zhu Yong and Sun Youwei were riding in was driven by Lao Yu, and the housekeeper's car was driven by Lao Niu.

"His father is indeed helping out at Jinmeng Villa. Have you met his father?"

"Well, I've been in his car before," Cheng Jin continued to make up, "He said that there are often falling rocks on the road in Snow Deer Valley. Is it true?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Generally speaking, it's still very safe. There are very few cases of falling rocks." The boss said, "The road he said often has falling rocks should refer to the old road before. The new road is still very safe."

Cheng Jin: "Then why did Zhu Yong get into a car accident last year?"

"..." the boss said, "After the opening of the new road, in the past few years, only his car accident was more serious, and the other times were at most minor car accidents. I heard that he would have an accident because he insisted on driving out on a heavy rainy day."

After chatting for a while, but there was nothing new, Cheng Jin speeded up his drink, and after finishing drinking, he turned on his phone.

Yang Simi looked up at him and saw that he was not doing anything else but changing the background of the desktop. He tried a few, and finally changed the desktop to a picture of Yang Simi teasing a squirrel.

Yang Simi looked away and continued to observe Cheng Jin with the help of the reflection from the glass window.

After Cheng Jin changed the table, put away the phone, looked at Yang Simi's drink cup, and asked him, "Are you still drinking?"

"Stop drinking." Yang Simi's eyes moved from the glass window to Cheng Jin's face.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Then shall we go?"

"Yeah." Yang Simi reached out to Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin pulled him up.

After saying hello to the boss, the two left the beverage shop.

The boss looked at their hands holding each other in surprise. Both of them were handsome, but they turned out to be a couple.

Coming to the concrete road outside, Cheng Jin said, "I remember seeing the Maverick Hotel when I was visiting the village. There is a skeleton bull head with horns hanging above its signboard. Let's go and have a look."

About 10 minutes later, the two came to the entrance of the simple and rough Maverick Hotel. They went in and took a look. It looked like an ordinary homestay, but it was also thoughtfully arranged. Although the effect was not outstanding, it was passable.

"Is the boss there?" Cheng Jin asked the girl at the front desk.

"You have something to do with the boss?"

"It's okay, just a question, your hotel is called Maverick Hotel, is the owner's surname Niu?"

The receptionist smiled and said, "Yes."

They were chatting when a dark-skinned young man came over from the backyard and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The front desk introduced Cheng Jin and Yang Simi: "This is our boss."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Hi boss, I just saw that your signboard says Mavericks Hotel, and I came in out of curiosity and asked if the name was chosen because the boss's surname is Niu."

"My surname is Niu, that's right." Boss Niu smiled, looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, and paused for a while on the hands they were holding. "Sit in there for a while?"

"Okay—" Cheng Jin was about to agree, but Yang Simi interrupted him, "It's going to rain."

Cheng Jin looked back outside and sighed: "The day is getting darker and the wind is getting stronger."

He turned around and smiled at Boss Niu, "Today is not a coincidence, next time."

"Okay, welcome anytime." Boss Niu sent them outside, saw that they were going up, and reminded them, "It's faster to go down."

"Okay, thank you." Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi around and waved goodbye to him.

After walking away, Cheng Jin said: "He knows where we live, he knows us, even the owner of the beverage shop just didn't know us."

Yang Simi: "Oh."

Cheng Jin looked at him: "Why didn't you let me continue chatting with him just now?"

"Didn't you see his eyes? He's guarding against us. You won't gain anything. There's no need to waste time."

"OK."

Not long after returning to Jinmeng Villa, heavy rain poured down. Cheng Jin and Yang Simi sat behind the French windows to watch the rain.

Cheng Jin sent a message to Ye Lai, telling her not to enter the Snow Deer Valley in the heavy rain, and wait until the rain stops or the rain becomes smaller. If the rain continues to be so heavy, then enter the valley tomorrow.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Ye Lai and Xiao An arrived in Yunchuan, and the rain had gradually diminished by this time, so they were still preparing to enter the valley.

Considering that since the bus station dared to start the train, it should be because they thought the risk was within controllable range, so Cheng Jin agreed with them to enter the valley by car.

In the end, Ye Lai and Xiao An did reach Snow Deer Valley safely.

Jumping out of the car, Xiaoan looked around and sighed, "Wow, there is someone in Baiyunsheng."

After the rain, the Snow Deer Valley is covered with clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

In fact, the rain has not stopped completely, and there are still some thin strands of rain floating in the air, so thin that it is almost impossible to distinguish whether it is rain or fog, and it is cool to the skin.

Ye Lai pushed the luggage over and said, "Let's go, let's go to Jinmeng Villa."
