It took five ambulances to take all of these dozen people away and take them to the nearest municipal hospital. The people of the criminal police team rushed to the scene to meet Ouyang Lan and listened to Ouyang Lan's report on the situation.

Yang Ziming arranged for his colleagues to carefully investigate and sample the scene, pulled Ouyang Lan aside, and asked quietly: "You don't have to hold back on me, let's say, do you think the suspect is Liu Chen?"

When Ouyang Lan heard this, he hurriedly defended Liu Chen: "Although apart from him, I can't think of anyone who has such great ability, but there is no evidence at the scene to show that he did it, we can't just convict him based on speculation, right?"

Yang Ziming grinned: "Hehe, you seem to be very protective of him now." ”

Fortunately, the night covered Ouyang Lan's blush, and she defended: "What's the matter, I just don't want any unjust, false and wrongful cases to happen in our hands." ”

"I remember that when Liu Chen first came to Jiangxia, you still insisted that he was a suspect, how long has it been since you had such an awareness, yes, much more mature, haha. ”

I don't know whether Yang Ziming's words were praise or envy, in short, Ouyang Lan didn't dare to look up at him when she heard it, she quickly changed the topic: "Let's go, let's go and see if there are any clues." ”

Because the old dock in Yujiang is far away from the city, it belongs to the place where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, and it is a remote area that has been abandoned for a long time, there are no surveillance cameras here at all, and on the road to the city, there are no suspicious vehicles passing by, so we can only wait until these injured people wake up to learn the truth of the matter from them.

The police department sent special personnel to the city hospital to guard them, and these people were the only ones who knew the truth and had to be closely protected.

The next morning, Ouyang Lan was discussing a homicide case with Yang Ziming at the police station on Shanhe Street, when a colleague from the hospital called to say that someone had woken up, and Ouyang Lan immediately put down his work and rushed to the hospital.

"Those people woke up last night, I went to the hospital, and I called if there was something!" Ouyang Lan said hello to Yang Ziming anxiously and ran out.

Ouyang Lan rushed to the hospital and asked his colleagues on duty, "Which people are awake?"

"Basically wake up, come with me. ”

Ouyang Lan followed his colleagues to a large room, all these people sent last night were arranged here, a few of them had just woken up, leaning weakly on the bed, it was strange that so many people did not speak, and the room was quiet.

Seeing the police come in, these people showed frightened expressions on their faces, and they all subconsciously pulled the quilts.

After Ouyang Lan showed his ID, he found a chair to sit down and showed them his intention: "I'm a policeman, and I'm here to learn about your experience last night." ”

After speaking, Ouyang Lan's eyes scanned the people in the room, but none of them answered her, and all of them remained silent without exception.

"Why don't you speak?" Ouyang Lan asked strangely.

At this time, the bald head spoke, and his voice trembled a little: "We saw a ghost last night, there are ghosts......"

Ouyang Lan couldn't cry or laugh, she closed the book and continued: "What ghosts are there in the world, are you frightened by something?"

The wounded man on the bed on the left took over and replied: "It is indeed a ghost, last night we were all drinking and chatting in the old dock, and suddenly we heard a movement outside, we walked out with the guys, but we didn't find anyone, just as we were about to return to the house, I only felt that it was dark in front of us, and I woke up and lay down here." ”

Ouyang Lan reminded loudly: "Do you know that all your left tendons have been cut off?

Of course, Ouyang Lan would not believe in ghosts and gods, she tried to make them realize the seriousness of the problem and tell everything about what happened last night, so that the police could solve the case as soon as possible and seek justice for them.

These people looked at each other with fear on their faces, and in the end, no one was willing to tell the truth, Ouyang Lan had no choice, she was shocked, who was this murderer, and he could let these victims keep it secret for him, was it really so terrifying for them?

It didn't seem that there was any need to continue asking, Ouyang Lan got up and left the hospital, and by the way, he also removed the team members guarding the hospital.

Sitting in the car, Ouyang Lan put her hands on the steering wheel, she didn't start the car for a long time, at this time she was extremely conflicted in her heart, she wanted to explore the truth of the facts, this is her duty, but she was afraid of seeing the truth, she was afraid that behind the truth, it was the man who was standing.

Back in the bureau, Ouyang Lan had been sullen, she put down her work, came to the shooting room alone, picked up the pistol and shot at the target fifty meters away.

"Impatience is not a good shot. I don't know when, Yang Ziming appeared behind Ouyang Lan, holding a glass of water in his hand and handing it over, "What's wrong with you today, things are not going well?"

Ouyang Lan withdrew the bullet, put away the pistol, took off the goggles, took the water from Yang Ziming's hand, and shook his head helplessly when talking about today's trip to the hospital: "Don't say it, those people don't want to cooperate with us at all, no one is willing to talk about last night's experience, and they use ghosts and gods to fool me, and I'm angry." After saying that, he poured a sip of water.

Yang Ziming laughed out loud after hearing this: "I thought it was something big that made you angry, I thought that they might not cooperate, but I didn't expect them to use ghosts and gods to fool you, haha~"

"You're still laughing!"

Ouyang Lan pretended to beat Yang Ziming, so frightened that Yang Ziming hurriedly apologized: "Don't laugh, don't laugh." ”

Ouyang Lan walked to the window, looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and looked at the municipal hospital towering in the distance, "Getting back to the point, what do you think I should do with this case?"

Yang Ziming walked to his side, crossed his hands on his waist, and said with a relaxed face: "In this case, there are no deaths, and the second victim has not reported the case, all of which are caused by some disputes in the rivers and lakes, which is very common in Jiangxia City, since there are no clues, such as putting it aside for the time being, this is not a big case." ”

"It's not a big case? It's not a big case if more than a dozen people have their hamstrings cut off? Can we still treat the case differently? As long as it's a crime or a crime, shouldn't we all crack down?" Ouyang Lan retorted.

Ouyang Lan's reaction did not surprise Yang Ziming: "I see that you have just come out of school, yes, as long as it is a criminal act, we should not let it go, the truth is so, but the reality is different from what the teacher said in the classroom." The focus is on those cases that are directly harmful to the people, and as for the struggle for the interests of these community members, as long as there is no direct threat to the people, we generally turn a blind eye, and there is no need to expend too much energy on them. Do you understand?"

Ouyang Lan seems to understand whether she understands or not, there is a big gap between what Yang Ziming said and the concept she learned at the police academy, and she thinks that the profession of the police is too simple.

However, if I don't investigate this case clearly, I always feel uneasy. ”

Yang Ziming looked at Ouyang Lan who was confused in front of him, and assumed: "If, I mean if, those people were all injured by that Liu Chen last night, will you hunt him down?"

"I ......"

"Maybe you will be more uneasy when you find out the case clearly, listen to me, put this case aside first, don't add pressure to yourself. After speaking, Yang Ziming looked at Ouyang Lan and waited for her answer.

Ouyang Lan thought for a long time before nodding, "Maybe what you said is right." ”

In the Starlight Bar, Liu Chen was chatting with Ji Zhiyuan at the front desk.

"Xiaozhi, come, teach me how to bartend. Liu Chen fiddled with all kinds of wine at the front desk, and after coming to the Starlight Bar, Liu Chen had never learned how to mix alcohol, and he was not required to learn these from the beginning.

Ji Zhiyuan was surprised: "Brother Liu, why do you suddenly want to learn to mix wine, what wine do you want to drink, in a word, I will send the mixed wine to you, you don't have to learn." ”

"Cut, why did you suddenly become so good at sycophancy, I didn't see it before. Liu Chen said with a smile.

At Liu Chen's strong request, Ji Zhiyuan began to slowly teach him how to make a wonderful cocktail. Bartending is very particular about the operation steps, recipes, cups, and materials, and there are special preparation equipment, and the methods include shaking method, direct injection method, mixing method, etc., Ji Zhiyuan is familiar with this series of processes, and the whole teaching process is very skillful, and Liu Chen is also quite talented, and he can make a qualified cocktail after watching it twice.

"Brother Liu, I've always wanted to ask you, is there anything else you can't learn, or what you can't learn?"

"Yes, I'm not going to get pregnant. ”

Ji Zhiyuan sprayed it on the table, and quickly picked up a tissue to wipe it, "I mean seriously, Brother Liu, with your learning ability, I won't be surprised if you build any aircraft cannon in the future." ”

Looking at Ji Zhiyuan's exaggerated expression, Liu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "You really regard me as a god, building aircraft and cannons is a matter of the state, which can be built by our ordinary people, but it is still okay to make some self-made firearms." ”

"Really?" Ji Zhiyuan's eyes widened, "If we can even make firearms, then we will make a fortune in the future!"

"You're stupid, we're just a bar, and we're not a military enterprise, *** machinery is illegal, understand?" Liu Chen was quite speechless at Ji Zhiyuan's brain.

Liu Chen's words are by no means alarmist, he was once pursued by the police for his own private weapons, although he escaped successfully in the end, but it also cost him a lot of money, so since then, he has broken off the idea of getting rich by illegal weapons, and until now he is glad that he has not gone astray.

Just as they were chatting, Xiao Qing, who greeted them at the door, shouted at them: "Brother Liu, a beautiful woman is looking for you!"

Liu Chen thought that Li Rongfei had come to see him, and immediately walked from the front desk, but saw Ouyang Lan standing there, dressed in civilian clothes, not like he had come to handle the case.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Ouyang Lan was dressed in casual clothes, not wrapped in a police uniform, and looked younger and more energetic.

Liu Chen looked around and nodded at Ouyang Lan: "Of course you can, hehe, by the way, do you want something to drink?"

"I can't drink alcohol while I'm driving, so let's have a glass of warm milk. ”

"There's papaya milk. ”

When Ouyang Lan heard this, she almost threw the bag in her hand over, but when she realized that she was in public, she shrank back again: "If you say this stalk again, be careful that I'm angry." ”

“so

y，so

Y, Xiao Zhi, make a cup of hot milk for this Ouyang police officer and send it to my office. Liu Chen took Ouyang Lan to his office.

This office was specially vacated by Ji Linyuan for Liu Chen not long ago, and it used to be a temporary warehouse to put some wine. The reason why Liu Chen was given this office is because this office has a wide field of vision, and at a glance, the scenery of the entire Zhongxing Street can be seen at a glance.

"Sit down, you're welcome. Liu Chen smoothed the cushion on the sofa.

"It's nice to have such a big office for one person, unlike us, where a group of people have one office. Ouyang Lan said enviously.

The air conditioner was turned on in the office, and the temperature was much higher than outside, Liu Chen said while taking off his coat: "The nature of the work is different, your job is to pay attention to teamwork, and everyone can communicate easily, I really like your working atmosphere." By the way, there must be something important about coming to me, right?"

After Ouyang Lan sat down, he took out a few photos from his bag and handed them to Liu Chen: "Yes, it's a very important thing, you can take a look at these photos." ”

Liu Chen took the photo and saw that it was the old dock of Yujiang and the injured people, and he immediately understood the purpose of Ouyang Lan's visit.

"These places, these people, do you know them?" Ouyang Lan put away his smile and asked seriously.

Liu Chen didn't think long before replying: "I don't know, what's the matter, I have encountered a difficult case again?"

"I really don't know?" Ouyang Lan looked at Liu Chen intently, trying to read something from his expression, but she was disappointed, and Liu Chen seemed unusually calm.

"I don't know. Liu Chen returned the photo to Ouyang Lan, and his tone was quite affirmative.

"That's for the best. Ouyang Lan put away the photo, at this time her hot milk came up, she lowered her head and drank the milk, and smiled again, at this time, she seemed much more relaxed than when she came.

Liu Chen's thoughts returned to the old dock of Yujiang last night, and he understood that Ouyang Lan didn't want the truth, but peace of mind, so he would never tell her what happened that bloody night.
