No such person [criminal investigation]

Various departments of the Municipal Bureau started to work overtime one after another. The Municipal Bureau's Forensic Center made specific handovers with the branch's forensic doctor, and brought the body back to the Municipal Bureau for a second autopsy overnight.

Qi Zang took Bai Shuwei and others to search the mountains for a long time, and then rushed to Beishui store without stopping. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

At the gate of the office area of ​​Beishuidian, Meng Yu and Jiang Xue waited here for Qi Zang.

Meng Yu picked up his phone and read the message Xu Ci sent him just now, actually feeling a little strange in his heart.

Xu Ci's work has always been serious and meticulous.But in Meng Yu's view, most of the time, he is actually too lazy to take care of interpersonal relationships, and now he seems a little too considerate to these policemen.

But Meng Yu was not too entangled in this.

Soon Qi Zang and the others arrived.

The situation is exactly as Xu Ci said.Not only were their clothes wet, but there were also many mud spots on them, which made them look a bit messy.

Taking the initiative to take a step forward, Meng Yu said: "Hello police officers, you have worked hard to come here at night. I see that your clothes are all wet. If you don't mind, I have new work clothes here. You can change them and continue to ask questions? "

Bai Shuwei has a straightforward and pungent personality, and she immediately replied in a joking but blunt tone: "Just now I passed several luxury counters... Your place is indeed a high-end store, why? Afraid that I will dirty your place? "

Meng Yu frowned solemnly. "The officer was joking."

"I said you can't take a joke—"

Before Bai Shuwei finished speaking, Qi Zang stopped her with a gesture.

Looking at Meng Yu, Qi Zang said, "Thank you. Are you...?"

"I'm Mr. Xie's assistant, Meng Yu."

"Please take me to the locker room."

Qi Zang followed Meng Yu away.

The store manager Jiang Xue looked at Bai Shuwei. "Come with me, female police officer, and I'll take you to the women's locker room."

Men's locker room.Just as Qi Zang had changed his pants, Li Zhengzheng pushed the door in, in order to hurry up and report to him the results of today's investigation.

He first took people to the school of the deceased Liu Na in the morning.

She is about to enter the third year of high school, the students are busy, and the class teacher is also exhausted. She doesn't have much energy to deal with the police's inquiries. She only said that Liu Na is introverted and her parents are very busy. The parent meeting is held by a person named Jiang Xue. I don't know anything else.

In addition, Liu Na doesn't seem to have a good reputation among the students. Everyone generally thinks that she is a spoiled young lady with a bad temper, moody, and likes to order people around.

"Everyone seems to hate Liu Na." Li Zhengzheng said to Qi Zang, "I was very impressed by a girl named Jiang Ying. When I heard that Liu Na died, she actually laughed and said she deserved it."

While taking off his wet clothes, Qi Zang asked, "Will a female student who is depressed and wants to commit suicide often bully others?"

Li Zhengzheng was not sure. "She is world-weary and wants to take revenge on society? Is it possible?"

Qi Zang shook his head. "Back to that painting. Have the other students seen that painting?"

"All denied."

When Li Zhengzheng answered this point, Qi Zang put on clean overalls and was buttoning up his buttons.

Li Zhengzheng couldn't help saying: "Qi team, hey, I suddenly found out...you are so tall, and they happen to have work clothes of your size."

Qi Zang put on his clothes, stretched out his arms and moved around. "Really, an unexpected fit."

"When I first came here today, they had coffee and food ready, which was good enough. You haven't eaten, have you? We'll ask later, and you're listening, so you can eat something by the way?"

"Not urgent."

Qi Zang turned around and was about to walk outside the locker room. Li Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I ask you something? I've been curious for a long time!"

"what's up?"

"I've bumped into it a few times before, but I didn't see it clearly. I just saw it clearly. You have a gunshot wound on your chest, right? How did you get it? That kind of place... almost killed you, right?"

Qi Zang looked back at him. "Yes. It was supposed to be third-class merit, but I almost died after being shot. I am honored to get second-class merit."

"Hey, I don't dare to take such an 'honor'." Li Zhengzheng scratched his head, "The rumors are true, did you really support the anti-drug operation?"

Qi Zang's face immediately became serious.

He and Xu Ci were classmates for four years and lived in the same dormitory for four years. In the year of graduation, Xu Ci left without saying goodbye. It has been eight years since now.

There is no information about Xu Ci on all social networks, or even household registration files, and his family members are nowhere to be found.If it weren't for his classmates and teachers who had the same memories of him as himself, Qi Zang would have thought that such a person had never existed in this world.

Qi Zang tried his best, but he couldn't find Xu Ci.

He even suspected for a while that Xu Ci, who graduated from the police academy with him, was secretly sent to be an undercover anti-narcotics agent.

Otherwise, this cannot explain why even his household registration files were cleaned up.

Of course, Qi Zang quickly rejected this idea.

It's really because Xu Ci is too beautiful and outstanding.

Even though he is excellent in all aspects, and has even won individual shooting championships many times, generally speaking, people with such looks are too easy to impress, and are not very suitable for being an undercover agent.

However, even though he knew intellectually that it was impossible, Qi Zang often asked himself—what if?

Four years ago, there was a large-scale anti-drug campaign in Yunnan, and the provincial government needed some new faces for support. Qi Zang signed up and went to the border to support the operation, and finally completed the task brilliantly.

This is one of the reasons why he was promoted to captain of a team at a young age.

He participated in this operation back then, on the one hand, of course he wanted to serve the country, on the other hand he also had his own selfish motives.

Even if the hope is slim, he still wants to find out the whereabouts of Xu Ci with the mentality of giving it a try.

But still no results.

Qi Zang's face became darker than the night outside the window.

Li Zhengzheng realized that he probably asked the wrong question.

After all, the mission Qi Zang participated in was highly confidential, and he shouldn't ask a single word.

Li Zhengzheng hurriedly stood up straight, bowed his head, pretended to be obedient, as if obediently stopped training.

But unexpectedly, Qi Zang opened the door and left without saying a word.

After being stunned for three seconds, Li Zhengzheng immediately chased him out. When he found Qi Zang in the store manager's office, he looked the same as usual except for a little tired.

Li Zhengzheng let go of his hanging heart, and heard Qi Zang say to himself without raising his head: "Where is that man named Xie Qiao? You said before, what clues is he looking for?"

Li Zhengzheng: "I'll go and urge—"

"No rush. Have you read all the transcripts made by the branch?"

Qi Zang took out his mobile phone and flipped through the electronic version of the transcript made by the branch office yesterday, and looked at Xie Qiao's copy. "Well, Xie Qiao, my parents have been abroad... Maybe I can understand why they gave their son this name. They read less ancient poetry."

Li Zhengzheng: "Huh?"

Qi Zang raised his eyelids and looked at him.

Li Zhengzheng made a gesture of surrender. "My Chinese score is the worst."

Lowering his head again, Qi Zang explained while checking all the transcripts made by the branch office: "You should know Yan Jidao. The allusion of 'Xie Qiao' often appears in his words. 'Xie' usually refers to 'Xie Niang', saying Most of them are concubines, singers, and even prostitutes.

"'Xie's family', 'Xie's mother's family', and 'Xie Qiao' can generally refer to the places where these girls are located..."

I see.It seems really inappropriate to take these two characters as the name.Especially men.

Just as Li Zhengzheng thought so, he heard a cold voice from behind——

"In fact, it has a deeper meaning, mourning death."

After a pause, the voice said again: "Officer Qi's interpretation is a bit shallow."

Mourn.

With such a name, who do you want to mourn?

Qi Zang slightly frowned, and as soon as he turned around, he met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not warm.

When did Cibi fall, who ever accompanied the dusk.

An indescribable feeling rushed up from the depths of his spine, Qi Zang frowned, and the lines of his whole body became tense.

Outside the house was pouring rain.Lightning as white as snow flashed across the window, making the lights in the house dim, and the image of the person coming was a little blurry for a while.

Suddenly, Qi Zang felt that Xu Ci, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, traveled to the present from ten years later, and finally reunited with himself in this time and space.

It’s just that there is one more premise to all this——

If, if the person in front of him is indeed Xu Ci.

Looking closely at the eyes, nose bridge, lips, facial contours, and even age, they are actually all different.But the feeling at first glance is too similar.

"Hello Officer Qi, I'm Xie Qiao."

That voice, which was obviously much hoarse and deeper than Xu Ci's, brought Qi Zang back to reality.

The sharp eye sockets narrowed slightly, Qi Zang looked at "Xie Qiao" in front of him very seriously, as if trying to find out something.

The more you look at it, the less elements related to Xu Ci in the visitor.

Leaving aside the apparent age difference, the hand that the visitor offered to shake was the left.Xu Ci is not left-handed.

Xu Ci has always known how to protect his eyes, he is a good seed for a sniper, but this person wears glasses.

Xu Ci's voice was clear and pleasant, and Qi Zang had heard him sing, and he sang very well. For a while, he suspected that God favored Xu Ci and gave him all the good qualities.

But the voice of the person in front of him was much hoarse, as if smoking had damaged his throat.

Qi Zang had a serious expression, his pupils were bottomless, but when he spoke, his voice was the same as usual.He naturally shook hands with the person in front of him. "Hello. I heard you have important clues to provide?"

Xu Ci nodded.

Qi Zang looked at Li Zhengzheng. "Close the door. Turn on the camera. I will inquire, and you will record."

·

Qi Zang and Li Zhengzheng were sitting on one side of the desk.

Xu Ci sat across from them.

Qi Zang didn't directly ask Xu Ci for the clues he wanted to provide, but went through the normal inquiry process first. "Xie Qiao, 35 years old?"

Xu Ci nodded.

"You didn't hear anything on the night of the incident?"

"No. I went to bed very early, and I should be the first of all the people to fall asleep that night."

"But I hear you're not drunk. You left early."

"Indeed. But work is stressful, I have habitual insomnia, and I have the habit of taking sleeping pills."

Qi Zang: "In your eyes, what kind of person is the deceased Liu Na?"

Xu Ci: "I hardly know her. I work at the group headquarters, which is located in the Yishui Development Zone, 30 kilometers away from here. I came to the Beishui store last Wednesday for internal audit inspection, and I only met Liu Na on Friday for the first time. On the face, I only have a preliminary impression of her, she has a rather dull personality and doesn't like to talk."

Qi Zang: "The villa you went to by bus with her?"

Xu Ci nodded again.

Qi Zang: "Then, did she make a scene during the trip and lose her temper?"

Xu Ci shook his head. "She looks well bred."

Xu Ci's impression of Liu Na obviously differs from what her classmates said.

Qi Zang lowered his head and glanced at the sub-bureau transcripts on his phone. From the transcripts, Jiang Xue's impression of Liu Na was similar to Xu Ci's. She was obedient and sensible, but a little introverted.

Could it be that Liu Na has two faces in front of students and adults?

Putting this question aside for now, Qi Zang asked Xu Ci again: "How much do you know about Liu Na's family?"

Xu Ci: "I don't understand at all."

"You must know the situation of the employees. You come here to do audit inspections. It is reasonable to know the personal situation of each employee to prevent them from doing things that are not conducive to the company."

Qi Zang asked him, "So, what is the relationship between Jiang Xue and Liu Na's father, Liu Lixing?"

Xu Ci was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you think there is an affair between the two of them?"

Qi Zang said bluntly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Qingfeng Group has three large shopping centers in Jinning City, more than a dozen high-end boutique supermarkets, and more than [-] community supermarkets, all of which are under the management of Liu Lixing.

Jiang Xue, the store manager of Beishuidian Supermarket, is just one of his many subordinates. Why did he ask Jiang Xue to help him take care of his children?The relationship between the two is obviously extraordinary.

However, judging from the employee's confession, no one thinks that there is an affair between the two of them.

When Jiang Xue first came to the company, Liu Lixing was her mentor, and the two always referred to each other as "Master and Apprentice".

Beishui store is the most important shopping center, and the self-operated supermarket has an annual sales of tens of billions. Liu Lixing attaches the most importance to and trusts Jiang Xue the most, which is also reasonable.

These are all Qi Zang learned from looking through the transcripts.

But he still wanted to hear how Xie Qiao would answer.

Xu Ci shook his head and said, "I don't know about this question.

"I try to understand every employee as much as possible. I really should pay attention to who is short of money, who is too close to competitors or suppliers, and this is my responsibility.

"However, our group has [-] employees across the country. I can't understand the personal situation of each employee. I have only been here for three days, and I mainly do inspections on operations and risk management. Does Liu Lixing I have an extramarital affair with Jiang Xue, I really don't know."

Pausing, pushing the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, Xu Ci gave Qi Zang a very professional smile, and suddenly said: "Officer Qi, you know I have clues to report, but I didn't ask them, instead I asked a bunch of them. Another question... I'm guessing it's because you're used to pacing conversations.

"You are a very strong person. You don't want to be taken away by me, but you have to take the initiative from the beginning. But it's late, can I say what I want to say?"

At this point, without waiting for Qi Zang to answer, Xu Ci looked him in the eyes and said bluntly: "I have a suspected murderer."
