Chapter 203 16 Until Dawn-10

#Looking back, I realized that I had passed the finish line.

*

Yan Ruiyang committed many crimes, and as soon as the news of the verdict came out, it was no surprise that it occupied the front pages of all media.

This is of course a great victory for the prosecution, but behind this victory, all the parties involved in the incident paid a huge price in exchange for it; especially the Tang family who bore the brunt.

Although Tang Zhichao finally woke up and testified in court in a state of clear consciousness, this still cannot change the fact that he was a member of a criminal group, and after experiencing such a serious injury, he can no longer continue to work as a doctor .

Although Tang Yuzhong and Shao Wanjuan were sad, they could only accept it silently.

Fortunately, they still have a daughter, Eri.

"I'm sorry for my unscrupulous words!"

Shao Wanjuan held Yingli's hand and said this; she not only deeply hurt Yingli's heart at the moment of the incident, but even Yingli didn't see her for a few days when she was recuperating from the injury, until Tang Zhichao woke up, The relationship between mother and daughter gradually showed signs of breaking the ice.

"I can understand Mom's mood; I understand your sadness."

For them, Tang Zhichao is the heart and soul of the two elders; but even knowing that they value their own son, Eri understands that this does not mean that they do not regard her as a daughter.

It's just that there are still differences between closeness and distance; she is not disappointed, but... a little emotional.

"sorry!"

Tang Yuzhong quickly came to smooth things over, and also talked with Yingli about Tang Zhichao's upcoming trial.

"Although the guilt of the senior is an established fact, I will still try to find a way to get him a chance to reduce his sentence; after all, he can be said to be lucky to come back from the gate of hell, and he also provided key evidence."

"I also have friends here who can help Zhichao with the lawsuit... Anyway, I will leave everything to you!" Tang Yuzhong wiped his face, "Oh, yes! Zhichao has one more thing here..." He Glancing at Shao Wanjuan, she slowly took out the item from the drawer.

It was the wedding ring that Tang Zhichao said he would give her.

"mom……"

"Although the conversation in court was not made public, the record was still kept; I was really moved and proud of your parents when I saw you say those words in the capacity of Gan Shuhan at that moment!" she said. Holding the velvet box in front of Yingli, "Although your father and I agree with Zhichao's plan to marry you, the final decision is still in your hands...Although, he has already become like that... Thinking of Tang Zhichao's suffering, she immediately choked up and couldn't speak.

Tang Yuzhong answered quickly, "Zhichao, he really loves your sister! The first time he expressed this meaning was when he broke up with Li Qiong... We couldn't understand it at first, so you came back For a period of time, your mother kept arranging you to meet other boys in order to force Zhichao to give up; but later, we all saw his feelings for you, and I gradually changed my mind.

"I know he proposed to you twice, but you didn't accept it; no matter what, you are still the daughter of the Tang family! I just want to say that if you plan to restore your identity, we are willing to tell all relatives and friends about it, and we can also arrange You are in touch with the relatives of the Gan family...whether you marry Zhichao is another matter, after all, you were forced to change your identity at the beginning, but now that you think about it, it is too hasty..."

"No, Dad, don't say that; I am very grateful for your decision." Eri took a deep breath, "Although there was a painful period of adaptation, this identity protected me...you lost Eri back then. My own daughter must be hard in my heart! And I also lost my parents. You put all your attention on my biological daughter and let me have a stable family! I don’t complain at all about the decision to change my identity.”

"I see... I'm relieved to hear you say that!"

"As for marrying the senior..." She stared at the ring box and sighed softly, "I'm sorry! I really don't have this plan! He is my brother to me... like my own brother. To me , it is best to continue living as "Tang Yingli"; please let me continue to be my parents' daughter!"

Shao Wanjuan and Tang Yuzhong looked at each other, "We know your decision! It's a pity that Zhichao and you are not destined to be husband and wife..."

"Besides!" Yingli said suddenly, causing her parents to look up at her; she pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head and said, "After these days, I think I have found a partner worth living with!"

"Oh?"

"Ah!" She raised her left hand slightly, and the tail ring on it had disappeared. "It's getting late! I have to go over and report the court's verdict to them personally."

Yingli was talking about going to the tombs of Gan Shuohong and Xu Shengya. "Hey! It's almost noon...how did you get there?"

"Jinglin drove me there!"

The two elders sent her to the door, and she looked up at the sky; there were thin clouds covering part of the sun, but the sky in the distance was still blue.

"Eri!" before opening the parasol, Tang Yuzhong's call made her turn around again. "The person you mentioned, bring it back sometime, let us see it?"

"Ah, actually..." She pushed up her glasses and smiled sweetly. "You've already seen her!"

"Ah?" They looked at each other, "Could it be..."

"I will find an opportunity to formally introduce our relationship, so I'll go now!"

Wearing a lace parasol, Eri stepped out of Tang's house in a leisurely manner. Waiting outside was Jing Lin, who was standing under the eaves to avoid the scorching sun, wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

"It's finally over! You've been in for too long, haven't you?" She frowned and ran to cover the sun with one hand.

"That's why I asked you to come in with me?"

"You and them don't know what kind of "true feelings" will be, how embarrassing is it for me to be an outsider?" Jinglin shrugged; Yingli couldn't help laughing, she knew that the reason why Jinglin didn't want to follow in was because she always Seeing Shao Wanjuan felt angry.After all, those words at the beginning really broke her heart. "What did they tell you?"

"It's nothing!" Eri brought her into the umbrella's shelter, "As you said, 'truth is revealed'!"

"Oh!" It's okay not to talk!With Jing Lin's hands in her pockets, they walked to the white car parked under the shade of a tree.

The previous car crashed into the entire engine bracket and the axles were scrapped. Zhou Zengxiang had been proposing to buy a new car for Jinglin, but she insisted not to--it would be a waste of money to drive a new car in her way of driving, so she asked the criminal team she knew to buy a new car. The police found a second-hand car of the same model.But in order to cater to her later driving habits, this white car with the same appearance has undergone a little "small modification" inside!

After entering the car together, Jing Lin immediately started the engine and turned on the air conditioner to cool down. "Where are you going next?"

"Go to my parents' place!" Eri fastened her seat belt. Unlike before, the seat belt of this car has a shoulder design similar to that of a racing car.

"Your parents?" Jing Lin couldn't help staring.

"Hmm! I haven't taken you there yet, have I?" She folded her arms around her chest, "Zhou Zengxiang has knelt down to apologize to them, this time you will go with me."

It dawned on her. "Is this the concept of 'ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws'?"

"You think it is! But...if you are ugly like this, then 90.00% of women may have to jump into the river."

"Thank you for your compliment!" She grinned and let go of the handbrake. "Let's go!"

During the drive to the cemetery, the previously thin clouds gradually parted, and the once stuffy air was now filled with a refreshing breeze.

Putting flowers in front of the tombstone, Eri clasped her hands and murmured; Jinglin couldn't hear what she said, but it must be the details of the investigation and judgment afterwards.She must have a lot to say to her dead parents.

At the end, Yingli slowly opened her eyes, and Jinglin saw that her nose was reddish, she just hugged her shoulder lightly, and whispered in her ear: "They must have seen everything you did... They must be so proud of you as a daughter!"

"Ah... I hope so!"

"It must be so."

For a long time, they didn't say much, just as if they were concentrating on accompanying the deceased elders and feeling the solemn atmosphere.

"In the future," Jinglin supported Eri, their eyes met, "what are you going to do?"

"What's the meaning?"

"You regard finding out the truth of the murder case as the meaning of your own existence. Now, you have finally completed this mission."

Eri held her breath while Jinglin smiled at her.

She lowered her head, "In retrospect, in the short thirty-odd years I have experienced, I realized how much time I spent in finding out the truth and catching the murderer... The only luck is that I did it. .Although the cost is high, fortunately, you, Team Leader Fang, Forensic Tao, Police Officer Cai...including the aunt and the senior, it was the assistance of many, many people to complete this matter!"

"Um."

Eri took off her glasses and wiped her tears, "You're right! It's time to let go of everything...to pursue what I want to do!"

Jinglin nodded, "Yes!"

"I guess... I'm still going to continue working on the brain, right?"

She frowned, "Huh?"

"Well! After all, that's my major; aside from criminal profiling, my real interest is still focused on academics. Being able to help the police solve crimes through cognitive neuroscience and psychology can only be said to be wrong!"

"Uh! Then..." Jinglin pointed at herself, but Eri didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Also, I'm already talking with the school about re-employment. Although I'm still a guest lecturer, as long as I can continue teaching, it's enough to make more students interested in the brain! Anyway, I will focus on my own research. , I don’t want to devote all my energy to teaching.”

"Then I..."

"As for us, we can only maintain the status quo for the time being; I'm quite happy living with you! The parents of both parties will wait for the opportunity to let them accept it slowly?" She put her glasses back on and raised the corners of her mouth, " Do you have any other questions?"

Uh... well!It is true that she made a simple plan for her future goals, and also mentioned the things between them, which seemed to be complete at first glance, but after going through so many cases, the two of them have cultivated a deep understanding of cooperation , Eri, who fulfilled her wish... It seems that she doesn't intend to stay in the criminal team anymore.

Seeing Jinglin pouted and saying nothing, Yingli couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "What's wrong? Just say what you want?"

"No, nothing special... Mmm!"

Suddenly, Eri gave her a kiss as light as a cicada's wing!

"Do you think I missed something?" She blinked and put her hands on her girlfriend's shoulders.Jing Lin blushed, under her gaze, she had no choice but to nod in recognition!

She laughed and sighed, "Both Team Leader Fang and Zhou Zengxiang have given me complete freedom as to whether to continue to help the criminal team investigate the case! I know you will continue to work there. If I continue to serve, we will have the most A chance to get along! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's a risky job after all!" Eri said with a regretful tone, "Besides, as long as I'm involved in case investigation, I can't focus on academics and teaching. You also know that before we started a case, we can almost say that Stand by at any time!" She caressed Jinglin's face, "Although I also enjoyed the process of acting with you, but after the murder case was solved... I'm not sure if that kind of life is still what I want."

"Oh...oh!" Jing Lin bit her lip, trying her best to hide her disappointment.She forced a smile and said, "It's okay! I know what you mean. Compared with investigating cases, examining corpses, interrogating prisoners, etc., you still care more about your academic career... Brain scientist!"

"I know you'll be disappointed when I say that...but that's the answer I got after thinking about it; sorry."

"It's okay, really!" Jing Lin shook her head, "At least, I can still see you at home every day when I get home from get off work!"

"Um."

"As long as you are satisfied with the life you have arranged, it is fine, because what I expect is that after completing these things, you can finally concentrate on planning for yourself; these years, you have lived too hard."

"It's okay if you don't think about it! There are many people who are less fortunate than me."

The angle of sunlight gradually tilted, and they left the cemetery holding hands.

"There are still two full months before school starts, you can still think about what you should do in the future."

"Ah, actually... I want to find some time to relax!" Eri flattened the backrest slightly and closed her eyes, "The injury from the previous car accident is just right, so whether to throw myself into a new journal or start Research projects that you have touched before? Hey! I always feel that there are many, many things to do!"

"Is that what you call relaxing!"

"Well! Thinking about issues related to the brain is relaxing for me, and of course research is too! But lesson preparation and teaching are more of a drudgery."

Jing Lin's expression twitched, "I... I thought you were going to travel or something!"

"You don't have the time to go with me, do you?" Yingri glanced at her, "And if I want to go abroad, I will be away for at least four or five days, which means that after returning home from work, I can only be with the antisocial personality. The sky can't see me...are you willing?"

She turned her head away, "Hmph! Talk like I can't do without you!"

"I don't consider this kind of activity because I understand your feelings; you are working, but I go out to play, don't you feel psychologically unbalanced? Besides, I have two full months of vacation."

Jing Lin wrinkled her nose and whispered indignantly, "That's why I asked you to go back to the Criminal Division to work with me..."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay!" She turned the steering wheel, and the white car followed the original route down the mountain.

Eri rested her chin lightly, and after a moment of silence, suddenly realized, "Ah! I see, this is the girlfriend's thoughtfulness, right?"

"what? What!"

"Isn't it? In order to make me happy, so you suggested that I find time to go abroad for a few days to relax. After all, I have such a long vacation; and now I will not continue to participate in the investigation of the criminal team." She pushed Glasses smiled, "Jing Lin is really considerate of me! Where can I find such a good girlfriend?"

"Well!"

"Although you still have to be on duty every day, and if I go out to play, the anti-social personality will be taken care of by you, but you are still willing to give me such a space... Hey! I am really touched."

"No! You read your academic papers at home every day!"

Eri raised a playful voice of doubt. "ah?"

"I take back the generosity just now! I'm going to work, and you are at home reading papers, setting up research plans... everything is fine! Just don't let me go out alone!"

"Oh? Is that so..."

Jinglin pursed her lips and aimed at Eri, and after a while, she slumped her shoulders, "Okay! Arrange it as you like...just as long as you like it."

"real?"

"It's as if I'm bullying you...Really, you can go wherever you want."

"I always feel like I'm the one who bullies you?" She chuckled a few times, "I'll do some research and planning at home first, don't worry! I'm not interested in traveling."

Jing Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "I don't want to be alone at home either!"

Eri looked out the window, slipped her left hand around the gear lever, and grabbed Jinglin.

"What are you kidding?"

"Um?"

"It will be two people from now on."

Jing Lin was slightly taken aback, then quickly smiled and held her back.

You are right.From now on, their lives will be two people.

***

The summer of the two was hurriedly spent between the busy criminal office and piles of academic papers.

Soon, after school started, Tang Yingli continued her teaching work in the university, as for Zhou Jinglin...

The work content is still the same!Official documents, case handling, on-site inspections, etc., are not missing.

Still, she felt out of place without that person in the office.

The desk in the corner has not been removed, but even though the police force is tight, the superiors do not seem to have any intention of adding more manpower; the documents and materials that had piled up in the mountains have been removed, and only one office computer, printer, etc. are left basic equipment.

Even though it has been two months, whenever Jinglin goes to the team leader's office or goes to the big conference room for a meeting, she sees this desk, the elegant figure of Tang Yingli in a long black dress, round-frame glasses and high-heeled shoes, It still pops up in front of my eyes from time to time.

"Hey!"

She glanced at the source of the voice, frowned and said, "Why are you sighing?" It was Cai Yuwei.

"No... aren't you looking at the desk that the teacher used before?"

Jing Lin looked in the direction he pointed, "Well, that's right."

"Don't talk about it. In fact, you still miss the days when you can see her back every day when you turn your head, and you can talk to her whenever you have doubts about the case, right?"

"Tell it as if I can't see her anymore! I can meet her every day when I go home, and you are the ones who should miss her!"

Cai Yuwei smiled wryly, "That's right! Originally, there were very few female police officers in the office. After experiencing Yan Ruiyang's big case, there was one more thing to watch!"

She glared at him, "Believe it or not, I will directly cover your eyes with an eye patch!"

"I'm telling the truth! Tsk tsk, can't you just look at it?"

"If you miss her lace and tulle dress, I can clearly throw cold water on you. She is no longer like before, wearing a black dress every time she goes out!"

"Oh? Come to think of it, Sensei has been insisting on wearing this dress before, what is the reason for that..."

Jinglin raised her eyebrows, "It's about Yingli's personal privacy, even if I know, I can't tell you!"

"Ouch!" he wailed! "Can you stop showing off your love in front of singles!"

"It's hard!" She smiled secretly, and turned back to work slowly.

Suddenly, Fang Zijun opened the office door with a serious expression, "Everyone pay attention here!"

This sentence made all the criminal police present stand ready.

He looked around the crowd, took a deep breath and said, "Do you still remember the headless man we found near Waisung Creek last week?"

"Of course I remember!" Chen Huomu's expression froze; the headless male corpse from last week had more than fifty stab wounds all over his body, and there were as many as thirteen fatal wounds. Because the appearance could not be confirmed, the identity of the man surnamed Li was finally confirmed through the claim by the family members who reported the disappearance.

"Unfortunately," Fang Zijun pursed his lips tightly. Even though he has handled many cases, he couldn't help trembling. "Just received the news that his wife was found dead at home, and her head was also chopped off. Multiple stab wounds... I just received the photos of the scene, and the death condition is very miserable; forensic doctor Tao has already gone to the scene to investigate!"

Everyone gasped hard.

"I remember there are two sons in their family, one in the first grade and the other in the sixth grade..." Jing Lin stared blankly, and immediately asked, "Where are those two children! How are they?"

"The elder son has not returned home because of tutoring, and the younger son stayed at school to decorate the classroom, so they both escaped unharmed!" The great fortune among misfortunes. "Unlike the man surnamed Li, this lady's head has been found in the grass in a nearby park."

"Did the murderer deliberately abandon it?" Lu Tingfeng asked.

"I don't know yet! In short, the officer and the media are very concerned about this matter, especially after the second body was killed by the same cruel method!"

Fang Zijun looked around the crowd, "For this heinous murder case, the director and I specially invited an expert to assist in the investigation of this case!"

"Expert, expert?" Cai Yuwei couldn't help repeating.

"Hmm! She seems to have arrived at the office."

Everyone focused on the door; as if responding to everyone's expectations, the visitor pushed open the door of the Criminal Division.

Jing Lin couldn't believe her eyes!

Accompanied by the exclamation of many criminal policemen, she walked confidently, pushed her glasses, and appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous but low-key black dress.

"Let me introduce to you a little... former FBI crime profiler, PhD in cognitive neuroscience, and an expert who has investigated and handled many difficult cases-Mr. Tang Yingli!"

"Hello, everyone." She looked around at everyone blankly, "Long time no see...except for Police Officer Zhou."

"Wait... when was this decided!" She didn't know about it at all! "Why don't you even say a word?"

"Teacher, because of this difficult case, at the invitation of me and the director, I joined the investigation team of the criminal team again." Fang Zijun said to Jinglin with a serious face, and handed over the right to speak to Yingli.

"It happened suddenly, so I'll cut straight to the point. I've seen pictures of two scenes; this time, I'll choose to get the behavioral clues of the murderer from the crime scene. The corpses of the couple were hacked very, very many times, far exceeding the number of deaths." Yingli took out a whiteboard marker from Xiang Rong's pen holder, and directly used Fang Zijun's office window as a whiteboard to write on.

"This kind of behavior is commonly called "overkill" (overkill) in criminal profiles, and both corpses had their heads chopped off and abandoned. Based on this, I have the following guesses about the murderer. [-]. He I am very familiar with the couple, and second, through this method of killing, I vent my hatred and contempt for them. Especially for the man surnamed Li, he seems to have been abandoned at will, which shows that the murderer has His disdain."

Jian Minggui immediately asked, "Will it be a dispute over money?"

"No, I don't think money disputes will cause such deep hatred, and the victim's family is not rich; I think the murderer's first target is the man surnamed Li, and he may not be able to let him vent his feelings after killing one person. Angry, a week after the incident, she decided to commit another murder..." Eri continued to write the summed-up points on the glass, and whispered: "Her two sons were lucky to have escaped at least the first time. ah?"

"Since I know the man surnamed Li very well... Could it be that we have been looking in the wrong direction since last week!" Fang Zijun was startled, "We thoroughly investigated the victim's interpersonal relationship and selected the one with the best relationship with him. A few candidates for..."

"They're all included in the exclusion list, right?" The corners of rosy lips curled up, "In my opinion, emotional disputes may be far greater than interest disputes... The prisoner's dissatisfaction and contempt for this couple is entirely due to accumulated grievances. It has profound consequences, and it may be difficult for outsiders to notice.”

"Before screening the list of suspects, let's go to the scene to investigate first?" Jing Lin bit her lip, "If the murderer really hates the couple so much, and the murderer is extremely cruel, maybe he can't make a very meticulous post-processing!"

"I heard that Forensic Doctor Tao has arrived at the scene?" Seeing Fang Zijun nodding, Yingli held his chin, "Alright! Go to the scene to observe and listen to the results of the investigation; since it is a knife wound, it should be possible to deduce the murder weapon and Basic information such as handedness!"

Needless to say, the tacit understanding in the past came into play again. Jinglin picked up the car keys, and Eri followed. The interlaced footsteps of high heels and leather shoes were in harmony like dance music with exquisite dance steps.

The hunt has officially begun!
