Chapter Eighty-Six: Red Agate Beads
"I also have doubts about this. Cao Fan opened the electronic tablet in his hand, flipped through the information on it, found one of the documents and clicked on it.
"We carefully examined the pit where the body was buried at the scene of the crime, and found not only the body and the severed finger, but also a bead of red agate. He projected the contents of the tablet onto the screen in the conference room, his face serious.
"Red agate beads?" Xu Chengyan frowned suspiciously, looked at the picture on the screen, and thought secretly, "Red agate is generally an item worn by women, maybe it was worn by Zhang Yunmei before her death. ”
What Zhang Yunmei wore before her death?
Listening to his analysis, Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and shook her head, "But if she is wearing it, then how can she only find one? At least it should be a bracelet." ”
"Dr. Cho is right. Cao Fan affirmed her words, slid the tablet, and moved the picture to the next one, "Look at the screen, this is the picture found in a photo album in Zeng Qipeng's house." ”
He bent two fingers, enlarged the picture, and then focused on a woman's wrist, and the red agate came into everyone's eyes.
"Red agate is naturally formed and then artificially polished, the color of each batch of goods is different, we have initially identified, and found the red agate at the burial site and the bracelet worn by this woman should be the same. ”
However, this woman is not Zhang Yunmei. Xu Chengyan glanced at the information in his hand, and then fell on the screen, full of doubts in his heart, "We found the marriage certificate at Zeng Yunpeng's house, although the certificate is very worn, and the photo is blurry, but we can still see at a glance that it is not Zhang Yunmei." ”
"Yes, that's the key. Mo Heng looked cold, got up slowly, and nodded indifferently, "If Zeng Qipeng is the one who killed people and buried the corpse, then what is the matter with this red agate?"
"Okay, I see, when the meeting is over, we'll move on to the woman in the photo. Xu Chengyan waved the signature pen in his hand and recorded the key points in his mind.
At this moment, Qiu Lan, who had been staring intently at the photo on the screen, noticed something unusual.
The woman wearing the red agate bracelet in the picture looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but suddenly she couldn't remember where she had seen it again.
"By the way, there is also the rape and murder case, although it is confirmed that the rape of the deceased Zeng Qipeng, and the death of the deceased was an accident, but the first murderer, who was the person who stunned the deceased with drugs, we have not yet found out. Xu Chengyan looked at the information in his hand and slowly spoke.
"We have investigated the boyfriend of the deceased mentioned before the incident, and the day before the crime, he went on a business trip, and we have already had a fellow police officer find him and confirm that he has not been back during this period, so it is not him. ”
"But even if he has been on a business trip for so many days, and his girlfriend has not been able to be contacted for so long, doesn't he doubt it?" Qiu Lan twisted her eyebrows, put down the things in her hand, and clenched them into fists in her chest, her heart full of doubts.
"We have asked about this, the deceased and the deceased's boyfriend had a quarrel before the crime, and we have also checked the chat records between them, and confirmed that there is no suspicion. Xu Chengyan shrugged his shoulders slightly and waved his hand.
The case has been cut off here, and the case of hiding the body involves a woman wearing a red agate bracelet.
The case is becoming more and more confusing, and the matters involved are becoming more and more complicated.
After the meeting, Qiu Lan sorted out the materials in her hands and walked to the door, Xu Chengyan looked at her figure, followed quickly, and prepared to ask her for lunch.
"Doctor Qiu. He raised the corners of his mouth and strode over to her.
But at this moment, a crisp singing voice came from the mobile phone in Qiu Lan's bag, "I'm sorry, Officer Xu, I'll answer the phone." ”
"Good. Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and stood aside, silently staring at the person in front of him.
Qiu Lan put the information in her hand on the chair outside the conference room, took out her mobile phone and slid it to the right, "Hey?"
"Xiaolan, it's me. A brisk voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I know, Momo, why did you call me suddenly? Did you miss me?" Qiu Lan responded to the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile.
Qiu Forensics, who was still serious and meticulous at the meeting, immediately showed a lively and playful appearance after receiving a call from a good friend.
"yes, yes, I miss you. Qi Mole responded to her hesitantly, "Xiaolan, I'm talking about the case near your police station today, and I've finished talking, so it's lunch time, so come and ask the chief forensic doctor if he is free to have lunch with me?"
"You wanted to ask me out for dinner. Qiu Lan looked at the hands on her watch with a smile, "The time is just right, you wait for me, I'll go down to pick up the car to pick you up, after eating, I'll go to the hospital to change the dressing." ”
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection outside the police station. ”
Hanging up the phone, Qiu Lan narrowed the corners of her mouth, and walked in front of Xu Chengyan in small steps, "Officer Xu, do you have something to do with me?"
"No, it's not an important thing, it's just that a new restaurant has opened in Five Star Plaza, and I want to ask Dr. Qiu if I want to try it together. Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes, looking embarrassed, and the roots of his ears were also a little red.
"Well, I'm afraid we'll have another appointment next time. Qiu Lan waved the phone in her hand with a smile, "I have just made an appointment with Momo, and I am going to have lunch together." ”
"Well, let's do it next time. A touch of loss slipped in Xu Chengyan's eyes, and his tone was calm, "Doctor Qiu be careful on the road. ”
"Good, good. Qiu Lan nodded slightly, biting her red lips, as if she felt something in her heart.
She picked up her things, walked briskly back to the office, changed her clothes, went downstairs to the parking lot, and drove away.
In her heart, she silently thought about some of the things Xu Chengyan had done for her before, and that inexplicable feeling.
Make an appointment for dinner, make breakfast and deliver it to your home, and pick up and drop off your commute, this kind of care seems to be detached from the relationship between colleagues, but it is a bit like the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend.
Did you think too much?
But he was just outside the conference room, and that blushing look didn't look like an ordinary colleague should have.
Whether it's true or not, Qiu Lan decided to keep a certain distance in the future and try to stay only at the level of work relationships.
After all, she is now burdened with hatred, and before she takes back what originally belonged to her from Qiu Yan and Qiu Shiming to avenge her parents, she doesn't want to plan her own affairs at all, and it makes no sense for her to fall in love.
Besides, the most important thing is that she still has Li Shanghan's sticky kraft candy on her body now, and she can't shake it off.
Xu Chengyan is an excellent and mature man, and he deserves a better woman to be by his side.
