Special Case Investigation Team VI

Yan Shucheng's old things were all thrown into the river, so he could only find a way to salvage them.

The fishing lasted until night, but only a small amount of items were recovered, most of which were washed away by the river.

After the salvage work was over, on the way back to the Public Security Bureau, Bu Huan sighed, "Fortunately, Mr. Yang found a clue from the coral tree. If I had worked hard all day today but got nothing, I would have died of depression."

This kind of old case has limited clues. If you investigate one by one, there will be fewer and fewer things to check. If there is no progress, the probability of solving the case will become smaller and smaller. Fortunately, there is still progress. I hope This time it was decisive progress, and the case was solved in one fell swoop.

Xiaoan: "You don't have to work hard, it's all Mu——brother is busy."

She can also be called Uncle Mu Ying Mu, but in the end she decided to call everyone the same.

Mu Ying shook her head: "I didn't do anything either."

The main work he did was to contact his colleagues to help out under Bu Huan's suggestion, and then contacted the local professional salvage team, that is to say, Bu Huan assumed the command work and he was responsible for the execution.

"Why don't I work hard anymore? I'm so tired!" Bu Huan let out an exaggerated sigh.

"Oh, okay." Xiao An responded perfunctorily while swiping her phone.

Bu Huan: "You guys, you don't feel sorry for me at all."

Mu Ying looked at them and tried to ease the atmosphere by changing the subject: "Where are Cheng Zu and the others now?"

"In your bureau." Xiao An said, "They have already finished their dinner, we have to find a place to eat by ourselves, or go back to the bureau to order takeaway."

"Should we order takeaway from the bureau then?" Mu Ying wanted to send the salvaged items back to the bureau as soon as possible.

"Okay."

After returning to the Public Security Bureau, they first sent the salvaged items to the inspection room, and Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went over to have a look.

A few winter clothes that soaked up water, half a box of old daily items, nothing special.

But this was within Cheng Jin's expectations, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.

In the upstairs office, Guan Wenli said to Wang Tianzhi, "Let's make sure what they got back later."

——The main purpose is to determine whether there are any clues that can help solve the case.

Wang Tianzhi nodded: "Okay."

"There's also the DNA testing room. You have to ask what the special case team is testing." Guan Wenli frowned.

"I just inquired about it. It is said that they are comparing the DNA. The evidence room said that they passed the blood of Tong Yue, Zhou Lingling and Xiang Fang's mother and daughter, so maybe they found clues related to them?"

"How did this happen?" Guan Wenli clenched his teeth. It seems that the special case team must have found important evidence. Was it at Yan Shucheng's house?Didn't I remind Yan Kuan to get rid of Yan Shucheng's previous things quickly? !

No, he still dealt with it, he threw the things into the river.Where did the special case team find the evidence?

At this time, Wang Tianzhi asked: "Director, why do you think Yan Kuan suddenly threw Yan Shucheng's old things into the river? It's too abnormal."

Guan Wenli glanced at him and said, "Maybe it's because the special case team visited his house frequently, which made him feel uneasy. Never mind that, you should first find a way to find out what kind of DNA the special case team is testing."

"Okay, but it may be more difficult. The people in the special case team are doing the inspection themselves, and they won't let our people help."

"This is to guard against us." Guan Wenli frowned and said, "Try to check as much as possible, thank you for your hard work."

Coming out of Guan Wenli's office, Wang Tianwen pursed his lips, feeling very complicated.

He suspected that Yan Kuan's throwing away Yan Shucheng's old things had something to do with Guan Wenli. He knew that Guan Wenli would not sit still, and he himself had always wanted to prevent the special case team from overturning the case, but after guessing what Guan Wenli had done, He was still a little disappointed.

How should I put it, preventing the special case team from overturning the case is for self-protection, and persuading Hua Jun and others to stop talking is just a trivial matter, but as a policeman, colluding with the murderer's family is a crime.

Why did they come to this step of doing evil?

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, the special case team withdrew and went back to the hotel.

Standing by the window and watching their car drive away, Wang Tianzhi immediately left the window and went downstairs to the evidence examination room. When he arrived, he saw Mu Ying was there. There was nothing wrong with Mu Ying, so he directly asked, "How, have you found anything?"

Mu Ying shook her head.

Another colleague next to him said: "These things have been soaked in river water, so it's hard to find anything out."

"That's a pity. What about the DNA test?" Wang Tianzhi looked at Mu Ying and asked.

Mu Ying: "I don't know."

"Let's take a look together?" Wang Tianzhi asked intentionally.

Mu Ying: "Go and go by yourself."

Wang Tianzhi glanced at him, didn't care about his tone, and went to the DNA testing room by himself. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Han Bin and Bu Huan inside, so he quickly moved away.

After returning upstairs, he called his subordinates: "Why didn't all the people from the special case team leave? ——There are still people left in the laboratory."

"I'll go ask." After a while, the man replied, "There are two people left in the testing room, saying that they will work overtime tonight and will wait in the testing room until the test results come out."

Wang Tianzhi sighed, this is definitely to guard against them, afraid that they will play tricks secretly.

He called Guan Wenli and told him the situation.

Guan Wenli let out a long sigh, he was helpless now.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jin woke up in the hotel bed, and turned on his phone to check the information of the work group.

Yang Simi seemed to feel the light, and buried his head in the hollow of his neck.

Cheng Jin quickly put down the phone.

Yang Simi asked in a sleepy voice: "The result hasn't come out yet?"

"No."

"Are you unable to sleep? I'll help you." Yang Simi said and groped into Cheng Jin's clothes.

Cheng Jin pulled his hand out, hugged him and patted his back: "I can fall asleep, I'm already sleepy, go to sleep."

It was not until dawn that Cheng Jin turned on the phone again.

The news came, the three small jade beads in the coral tree were indeed stained with human blood, and they were the blood of Tong Yue, Zhou Lingling and Xiang Fang.

Decisive progress!Everyone is very happy.

However, Cheng Jin asked everyone to keep quiet, and he planned to see Yan Shucheng again to see if he had anything else to say.

Bu Huan and Han Bin worked overtime last night, and now they stay in the Public Security Bureau to rest, while the others go to the prison.

After meeting Yan Shucheng, tell him about the blood beads they found in the coral tree.

Yan Shucheng was not frightened, but was very angry: "This time you are smarter, and you have come up with such a wonderful way of framing! At the same time, you are more greedy. Last time, you only said that I killed two people. This time, you will directly give me the money." Doubled, you are really amazing!"

Cheng Jin, who was always watching him, said, "Xiao An, show him the video."

"Okay." Xiaoan put the laptop on the table and clicked on the video.

Yan Shucheng turned his head to look at the video, and Xiaoan explained: "This is the video we took after we entered your house. When we took away your things, we took pictures and videos."

After one video is played, the next one is replaced.

Xiaoan continued: "This is the picture captured by the surveillance camera in our car. Your things are all in the box, and no one has touched them. Wait a minute—here we come, look, until this time, our teacher Yang Picked up your coral tree, here, Teacher Yang discovered that the bird can be pulled out, and there is something hidden in it."

She turned off the video, and showed Yan Shucheng the high-definition photo of the blood-stained little jade beads: "This is what you hid in the bird's stomach."

Yan Shucheng stared at the computer screen and shook his head: "I didn't put it, I didn't put anything in the bird's belly, you planted it on me."

"Didn't I show you the video? We didn't do that." Xiao An said, "If you want to get rid of the crime by cheating, it's impossible."

Ye Lai: "We didn't know in advance that the bird on your tree could be pulled down, so it was impossible to plan in advance to frame you in that way."

"I'll say the most important thing," Cheng Jin said, "the blood on the bead is old blood. The bead was put in many years ago, not now."

Yan Shucheng looked at Cheng Jin, the anger on his face decreased, and the doubts increased: "It was released many years ago?"

"Didn't you let it go?"

Yan Shucheng shook his head: "I didn't let it go."

"Tsk, this is something you made yourself. If you didn't put it, who else could have put it." Xiao An said, "By the way, your father is also a jade carver? Could it be he put it?"

Yan Shucheng suddenly turned his head and stared at her: "Impossible!"

Xiao An was not afraid of him, and said again: "Is that your mother?"

"It's even more impossible!" Yan Shucheng was furious, "Our family didn't let it go at all!"

"Calm down." Cheng Jin said, "Who put it there? Who can touch this coral tree?"

Yan Shucheng was suspicious: "Do you believe I didn't let it go?"

"Our job is to investigate cases, and we will try our best to find out every doubtful point." Cheng Jin said, "Speak up if you have any objections."

Yan Shucheng looked at him, then looked at Yang Simi who was resting his chin with his hand, and said, "This coral tree is not something expensive, so I brought it to the shop, and it can be said that most of the carving work is done in the shop. Many people have seen this coral tree."

"You made a good excuse. Okay, many people have seen it, but how many people have touched it?" Cheng Jin said, "Don't tell us that your jade shop is actually a vegetable market. People passing by can reach out and touch it. A handful of your bird."

Yang Simi: "You are really mean."

Cheng Jin: "..."

Yang Simi: "But I like it."

Cheng Jin stroked his forehead and remained silent.

Yan Shucheng was not in the mood to pay attention to their communication, he thought for a moment, and said: "People who come to the store often and know me very well must be able to touch them."

Cheng Jin: "When Xiang Fang's mother and daughter were killed, where was your coral tree placed?"

"In the shop."

"Then tell me who can access it."

After being silent for a while, Yan Shucheng said a few names.

"They are all good friends, so they shouldn't harm me... Besides, can I be such a failure as a human being? Well, I don't know."

He looked dejected.

Leaving the prison and driving back to the city, Ye Lai asked the silent Mu Ying, "Brother Mu, why didn't you speak today?"

Mu Ying looked up: "I was wondering, could Yan Shucheng really be framed? He looks like he really didn't know that there were blood beads hidden in the coral tree."

Xiao An was surprised: "Eh? Haven't you always been very determined? How come you are so determined that you have changed your mind?"

Mu Ying scratched her chin and said, "If you look at him objectively, he doesn't seem to have killed anyone."

"Maybe he is better at disguising." Xiao An tilted his head, "I think it's not difficult to do it to his level, as long as you convince yourself that you really didn't kill someone."

"...Don't use yourself as a murderer." Mu Ying said uncomfortably, "He is not a very kind person, that's why he was indifferent to the murder of Xiang Fang's mother and daughter back then, but you can't just say people because of this. He killed it. If he really did it, he might pretend it instead. I have too much prejudice against him, so I only think that he is a pervert, and he killed people. I think I might have been wrong before."

"Well, he called Xiang Fang's mother and daughter pigs after they were murdered, which is very perverted." Ye Lai said, "It's not normal for him to be friends with someone like him?"

Mu Ying: "Bu Huan and I have met his friends, and they seem quite normal."

"Inform them to assist in the investigation." Cheng Jin said, "Also inform Yan Shucheng's parents."

Ye Lai responded, "Okay."

It was only after I got in touch that I found out that Yan Shucheng's parents were in the hospital now, and Yan's mother was overly worried and sick because of Yan Shucheng's matter.

Cheng Jin decided to meet Yan Shucheng's friends first, and then visit Yan Shucheng's parents later.

Several of Yan Shucheng's friends were called to the police station, but they all acted like they didn't know anything about coral trees.

By this time, Guan Wenli finally figured out what the important evidence in the hands of the special case team was—it turned out to be a coral tree brought from Yan Shucheng's house.

He thought regretfully that his strategy was actually not wrong, but that he didn't consider that the evidence might be valuable, so he didn't remind Yan Kuan not to be petty, and not to be reluctant to dispose of the valuables.

It's also the special case team too—it's unbelievable that an important clue was found in the case 20 years ago.

When I first met the special case team, I thought of him too simply. I have been staying in a small place like Hanshan, and I have seen too little of the world. Because I have never seen any powerful people, I thought that his level is not very high. .Big mistake.

He thought of a way out.If it was many years ago, when the rule of law was relatively chaotic, he could still use black illegal organizations to do some things, but now he doesn't even think about it, or he, the director of an ordinary city, doesn't have to think about such things. Some people who are many times more powerful than him may still have similar contacts in their hands, but he is out of reach.

In short, at this point, he was helpless.

He simply left work early and went to the hospital to visit his daughter.

When we arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Guan saw that he had come so early today, so she asked him what was the matter.

Guan Wenli looked at Guan Ying who was on the hospital bed, and turned his head to signal Mrs. Guan to go outside to talk.

The two stood in the corridor, Guan Wenli said in a low voice: "I'm basically sure that I made a wrong investigation before, and I will be subject to some investigations."

"..." Mrs. Guan's complexion changed drastically, as if the sky had fallen, "Then, what should I do?"

Guan Wenli: "Nothing to do. After all, it happened many years ago, and the main reason is that the investigation process was wrong. In addition, I will retire soon, so I should not be punished very severely. , lost all face..."

If he can live another 20 years, it can be expected that the next 20 years will be very aggrieved.

Mrs. Guan took two steps back and leaned against the wall in a daze.

After a while, the two returned to their daughter's ward. Mrs. Guan sat in a chair in a daze. Guan Wenli felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive, so he got up to smoke outside.

When he came back from smoking a cigarette, he heard insults in the ward, so he hurriedly opened the door and went in.

The scene behind the door is that Mrs. Guan is scolding Guan Ying, saying that it is all her fault that she has harmed the whole family, and poking her head with her hand while scolding her...

Guan Ying hugged her head and shivered beside the bed. She was not on the bed, but sitting on the floor next to the bed. The quilt on the bed was messy. Guan Wenli speculated that she must have been dragged off the bed by her mother.

"What are you doing!" Guan Wenli strode over, pulled Mrs. Guan away, threw her back, and pulled Guan Ying up, "What are you doing sitting on the floor, get up quickly."

Guan Ying's hand holding her head was pulled away, and her face below was full of tears. She choked up and said, "Dad, yes, I'm sorry."

Guan Wenli's eyes were red: "It's none of your business, don't listen to your mother's nonsense..."

"Ouch! I can't move, my back..." Mrs. Guan yelled as she lay on the floor behind her.

When Guan Wenli pulled her away just now, he threw her onto the bed frame, causing her to hit her back.

Guan Wenli quickly called the doctor over.

In the Public Security Bureau, Cheng Jin looked at Yan Shucheng's friends who were separated. These people all had some artistic skills, such as painting, calligraphy, sculpture, etc. They had also seen Yan Shucheng's coral tree. Both have the opportunity and ability to stuff beads into that tree.

However, only one of them can tie a flat bow, and the others don't know whether they really can't or pretend they can't.

It is another person who likes the texture of jade, and he likes to collect jade seals.

None of them have rough hands, at least now their hands are not rough, it's hard to say how it was back then.

In addition, when I showed them the photos of Tong Yue, Zhou Lingling and Xiang Fang's mother and daughter, they didn't respond obviously, and they all said they didn't know these ladies.

"Besides you, is there anyone else who has a good relationship with Yan Shucheng?"

Several people answered unanimously: "No."

"Is there anyone who has a bad relationship with him but is closer to him?"

Some said they didn't know, while others said, "Are you talking about his relatives?"

Relatives are indeed a direction of investigation.

In the end, Cheng Jin said: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital to see Yan Shucheng's parents first, and ask about the condition of his relatives by the way."

Bu Huan and Han Bin stayed at the Public Security Bureau to rest as usual, while the others went to the hospital.

Came to the inpatient department of the hospital, and asked Yan Shucheng's mother's ward at the nurse's station.

When they talked to the nurse, people passing by would glance at them.

Cheng Jin would also look at them, but not specifically, just habitually.

Yang Simi was more interested in observing Cheng Jin. He stood beside Cheng Jin and looked at his face. Suddenly, Cheng Jin's eyes turned obviously. Yang Simi looked in the direction Cheng Jin was looking at, and saw a An ordinary-looking man with a jade plaque hanging around his neck. It should have caught Cheng Jin's attention - the case they are investigating now has something to do with jade.

The man glanced at them and continued walking, looking in the direction that he was leaving the hospital.

Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin, and found that he was still looking at the other party, so he looked at the other party again, this time he found that the other party was also wearing jade ornaments, which were a string of bluish-white jade bracelets.

The others also noticed the gazes of Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, and they all looked at the man's back.

The man turned a corner and walked into the elevator hall.

Cheng Jin looked away.

Xiao An: "Boss, what happened to that man?"

Cheng Jin: "Ask Yan Shucheng's parents later if that person came to see them."

"You mean that person is a relative of his family? How can you tell?"

"Just a guess. That man likes to wear jade ornaments."

"oh oh."

Arriving at Yan Shucheng's parents' ward, Yan's mother was lying on the hospital bed, receiving an injection, while Yan's father sat beside her and guarded her. The two of them looked older than yesterday.

Seeing Cheng Jin and the others, Yan's father stood up, and Yan's mother sat up on the bed.

Ye Lai hurriedly said: "Don't worry about us, you should rest well."

There are a total of three beds in this ward, and there are patients in the other two beds.

Cheng Jin and the others didn't directly say what was going on with the case, but asked about Yan Shucheng's friend.

Yan's father and Yan's mother didn't know much, they only said that they had a good relationship with Yan Shucheng, and they often ate and played together. As for which of them touched Yan Shucheng's coral tree, they didn't know.

"Do you know how that coral tree was made?" Cheng Jin asked Yan's father.

Father Yan: "I know."

"Is there any difficulty in making it?"

Father Yan wondered why he was curious about this, but he still replied: "The biggest difficulty is putting together the coral tree. That coral tree is not a complete one, but has been spliced."

"Isn't it difficult to combine birds and coral branches?"

"That's not difficult. After carving the bird, punch it and string it to the coral branch."

"No, that's not what Yan Shucheng did. The birds actually played a role in connecting the coral branches."

"Oh?" Father Yan thought for a while, and said, "This method is good, and it will leave no traces. But I remember that he tried to splice the branches. He probably later found out that it is better to connect the broken branches with birds, so he adopted this method." kind of way."

He sighed: "His brain is more flexible than mine."

Cheng Jin looked at him and said, "I heard that your shop made origami silver jewelry at that time?"

"Yes, it's also Shu Cheng's idea, but that kind of gadget can only be popular for a while, and it will soon become obsolete."

"At that time, your store made silver bows?"

"I did."

"Have you ever done it yourself?"

"I did." Father Yan was dissatisfied with being underestimated, and explained with a frown, "That kind of small silver jewelry is not difficult to make. Although my specialty is jade carving, I can also make some silver jewelry."

In other words, Father Yan would also tie a straight bow, but he probably didn't put the jade beads in the coral tree, and Tong Yue and the others probably didn't kill him either.

"Back then, before and after Yan Shucheng's accident, did any of your relatives often visit your store?"

Father Yan shook his head: "No."

"Before we came, did any relatives visit you?" Cheng Jin looked at the low cabinet next to the bed, on which was a bag of fruit.

Yan's mother: "Yes, I heard that I was hospitalized, come and see me."

"A man with a jade plaque around his neck and a jade bracelet on his hand?"

Father Yan: "Yes, he is my junior brother's son, and he came here on behalf of my junior brother."

He studied art with a teacher, so he has a brother, and he has a good relationship with his brother, so the two families have always been in contact.

"He looks about the same age as Yan Shucheng?"

"Yes, they were born in the same year."

"Oh. Please give us his contact information."

Father Yan was puzzled: "...why?"

"Look for him to find out about Yan Shucheng's situation."

"He doesn't know about Shu Cheng's situation, they have a normal relationship."

"Oh?"

"They can't get along, they can't play together."

"Oh, so. Does his family also make jade carvings?"

"No, his father, that is, my junior brother, changed his career a long time ago. His family is now in the potted business."

"Potted plants?" Mu Ying was a little excited, "Is it the old flower and bird market?"

"His family opened a store there, what's the matter?"

"How long has his family been open there?"

"It's been a long time. It didn't move there until the new flower and bird market was built."

"Oh." Mu Ying became even more excited.

Cheng Jin: "His family is in the bonsai business, so your junior brother's son doesn't understand jade carving?"

"..." Mu Ying was splashed with cold water.

Father Yan: "Compared to ordinary people, I understand a little bit. After all, there are many people around who are in the jade carving industry, but compared to those who know how to do it, I definitely don't understand it."

"Can he carve things?" Cheng Jin asked directly.

"You can carve something simple."

When Mu Ying heard this, hope was rekindled.

"Yeah." Cheng Jin said, "Does he often go to your store?"

Father Yan: "When I opened the shop, he did go there often."

Cheng Jin asked again: "Has Yan Shucheng been there before and after the accident?"

"I went there before the accident, and after the accident—maybe? I don't remember, it was too busy and messy at the time."

"Then please give us his contact information. If you don't remember, he may remember."

"..."

When recording the contact information, Cheng Jin asked by the way: "How many children does your junior brother have?"

"Two, and a daughter."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin changed the subject, "Apart from Yan Shucheng's incident, have any other major incidents happened to your family in these years?"

Father Yan shook his head.

Mother Yan's expression moved slightly: "Doesn't it count that you were cheated? A few million is just gone—"

Father Yan interrupted her: "That's my fault."

Ye Lai hesitated and asked, "I heard that the person who lied to you was found by Fang's father?"

Father Yan nodded, and Mother Yan: "It's still to blame—"

"Okay, it's over." Father Yan interrupted her again.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Jin and the others said goodbye.

Taking the elevator downstairs, Mu Ying said, "Yan Shucheng has a younger brother..."

"You mean you can ask him about the situation again?" Xiao An said, "But when Yan Shucheng was arrested, his brother was not born yet."

Ye Lai: "You can still talk to him, maybe he knows something about his family."

Cheng Jin also said, "Let's talk to him later."

Driving away from the hospital, when the car drove to the hospital gate, they ran into a familiar teenager.

Xiao An: "Yan Shucheng's younger brother?!"

Ye Lai nodded: "Coincidentally, we are looking for him."

She stopped the car and called to stop the boy.

The boy glanced at them and continued walking forward.

Mu Ying jumped out of the car and caught up with him: "Don't know us? Just to remind you, we are the policemen who have been to your house before."

Taking the boy aside, Cheng Jin asked him, "Do you know your brother's friends?"

"I don't know! How could I know it."

"Do you know what happened when your family was cheated out of a lot of money?"

"do not know!"

Mu Ying lowered her face: "Little friend, we won't let you go if you don't speak well."

The young man was a little timid, pursed his lower lip, and said, "I was just cheated. An acquaintance teamed up with others to cheat my dad."

"acquaintance?"

"He introduced that business to my dad, but afterwards he shirked that he didn't know about it." The young man curled his lips slightly, and then looked at Cheng Jin and the others with some hope, "You can help my family get back the cheated money ?"

"You can try it. You can tell us what's going on first."

The matter is very simple, that is, Yan's father was deceived when he bought jade materials. This kind of business that relies purely on eyesight, buying fake products can only suffer a dumb loss.

As for the acquaintance, it turned out to be Father Yan's younger brother—that business was introduced by Father Yan's younger brother, so Father Yan made a careless mistake.

"Then why is your father still on such a good relationship with him?"

The boy shook his head: "After that, the relationship is not as good as before."

"That's right, then why did your son come to see your father when your mother got sick?"

Boy: "The relationship between my dad and Uncle Zou is not as good as before, but he has always liked Uncle Zou's son."

"How is your relationship with Uncle Zou's son?"

"generally."

"Is it because your age gap is too big?"

"Ah."

"Is he on good terms with your brother?"

"how could I know."

Cheng Jin smiled: "I think you can speculate, you look pretty smart."

The young man looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "I guess they have a bad relationship. Brother Zou is very popular with the elders, and he can't play with his peers. My brother is on the contrary. I heard that he used to be the king of children."

Xiao An smiled and said, "You seem to like your brother quite a bit."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and said: "After all, it's my brother. He often writes to me. I don't think he killed anyone."

"Ask you again, why don't you like Brother Zou? Is it because your brother doesn't like him?" Cheng Jin said.

"No, my brother never mentioned him. He unilaterally spoke ill of my brother in front of me."

Cheng Jin nodded and asked, "Do you have a mobile phone?"

The boy looked at him and said hesitantly, "Yes."

"Help us ask your parents about the relationship between Brother Zou, your brother and your family when your brother was not in prison. After you find out, call or send me a message, no, you can contact Xiaoan, you guys Children get along better."

The boy looked at Xiao An curiously.

Xiao An showed a cute smile: "Then let's add friends!"

After parting with the young man, Cheng Jin and the others returned to the car, and Mu Ying said, "Zou Cheng, do you want to focus on investigating Zouping next?"

Father Yan's younger brother was named Zou, and his son was named Zou Ping.

Cheng Jin: "Check it out."

"Why don't you just take him back to the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation?" Xiaoan suggested.

Ye Lai: "This person does meet many elements. He knows how to carve jade, likes to wear jade ornaments, and his family once opened a shop in the Old Flower and Bird Market."

Cheng Jin reminded them: "He only knows a little bit of jade carving, so he shouldn't be rough enough to roughen his hands."

Yang Simi: "He could have roughened his hands by doing other work."

Cheng Jin looked at him and said, "Okay, then let's take him back to the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation."

Next, the troops were divided into two groups. Ye Lai and Mu Ying went to find Zou Ping, and the others took a taxi back to the police station.

As the others walked around, Mu Ying chatted with Ye Lai: "Teacher Yang seems to have a great influence on Cheng Zu."

"That's for sure."

"Why do you say that?"

"...Because Teacher Yang is very powerful."

"Oh."

Call Zou Ping to find out his location, go find him, and bring him back to the Public Security Bureau.

Being brought to Cheng Jin's desk, Zou Ping said with a dazed expression: "The person who brought me here said that he was looking for me because of Yan Shucheng's affairs, but I don't know anything about him. I just went to visit his mother today. , or my dad asked me to go, is it because of this that I have to come to the Public Security Bureau for investigation?"

Cheng Jin looked at Zou Ping's hand, his hand was not rough, probably because of nervousness, he had been twisting the jade bracelet on his wrist.

"Sit down, I'm looking for you to know something about you. Do you like jade very much?"

"Ah? Oh, yes." Zou Ping said, "My father made jade carvings when I was a child. I have been in contact with them a lot, and I like them more."

"Learned about jade carving?"

"I've only learned a little bit, because I'm impatient—" As he was talking, his cell phone rang, and he asked, "Can I answer the call?"

"Who called?"

"client."

"You take it."

Zou Ping picked up the phone, told the person on the other side that he was busy now, and told him to go directly to the store and find a person named Zou Jing...

After he answered the phone, Cheng Jin showed him the picture of the coral tree: "Have you seen this?"

Zou Ping nodded: "Things made by Yan Shucheng."

"Do you know how it's made?"

Zou Ping thought for a while: "The bird is carved from wood, and it should be inserted into the coral after carving, so it should be like this."

"Can you tie a bow? Try tying one."

"Oh."

Zou Ping can tie a flat bow, but not very well.

Bu Huan shook his head: "I don't think he is. He seems to meet many elements, but he is far from it. I think his father may be more suspicious. After all, his father 'harmed' Yan Shucheng's father and made him poor and useless."

Ye Lai: "No, father corresponds to father, son corresponds to son, why does his father target other people's son?"

"Because I'm jealous of other people's sons who are better!"

"What the hell are you talking about..."

Cheng Jin interrupted them: "Don't run the train. No matter who the murderer is, there is a question. Why did he stop after three crimes?"

Bu Huan quickly answered: "Because he's old! He can't move anymore."

"You mean Yan Shucheng's father's younger brother?"

Bu Huan nodded.

Cheng Jin said: "Then you send Zou Ping home and meet his father by the way."

"Okay." Bu Huan looked at Mu Ying, "Brother Mu, let's go together?"

"Okay." Mu Ying responded first, and then turned to Cheng Jin, "Cheng Zu, what about the other people we called to assist the investigation today, should we let them go back too?"

"Well, let them go back."

"Ok."

At this time, Han Bin said: "I think the murderer is Yan Shucheng, and the current evidence is enough to convict him.

"It's very possible." Bu Huan said, "No matter how pretentious he is or how eloquent his tongue is, the murderer is actually him!"

"..." Mu Ying asked, "Then shall we still go to Zou Ping's house?"

"I'm going. After eliminating everyone's suspicion, the murderer can only be Yan Shucheng himself."

"...That's it."

After Bu Huan and Mu Ying left, Cheng Jin said, "First——"

Yang Simi continued: "—Shall we eat?"

"Okay, let's eat first." Cheng Jin said, "Ye Zi, contact Hua Jun and call him out for dinner."

"Ok."

It's already evening now, so it's dinner time to eat.

Hua Jun agreed to the appointment.

The dining spot I chose this time is near the place where I ate barbecue last time. I chose it specially. It is convenient to go to the place I have been to once, so I don’t have to choose a new place.

Sitting down in the box, Hua Jun looked at Cheng Jin and the others' faces: "Why did you call me out again? It doesn't look like there is any good news."

"No, there is good news, or significant progress." Cheng Jin took out his mobile phone and showed him the coral tree.

After looking at it for a while, Hua Jun asked, "What is this?"

"Yan Shucheng's work. What do you think?"

"Quite an idea?" Hua Jun smiled, "I didn't expect him to make things of this style. The things he made in prison are very, how to put it, very positive."

"Oh, it seems that he has learned to pretend." Cheng Jin said, "Have you ever thought about the possibility that Yan Shucheng is actually the murderer?"

Hua Jun was silent for a while, and said after a while: "I thought about it. But, I don't really care."

"..." This was Cheng Jin's unexpected answer.

Seeing him startled, Yang Simi poked his cheek.

Cheng Jin held his hand helplessly.

"So you hate the police so much," Xiao An sighed, "You hate the police so much that you no longer want to be a good person."

Hua Jun looked at her and said with a smile: "You are still a child. Prison may be a place where bad people can be transformed into good people, but it is also a place where good people can be transformed into bad people. However, I should not have become very bad."

He turned to Cheng Jin: "If you have anything to say, I'm still willing to help you.
