Chapter 6: Homicide

Lin Jizhi originally planned to invite Xia Kite to dinner on the weekend, but the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and a murder case broke his plan, and the plan to invite him to dinner had to be postponed.

Lin Jizhi apologized to her on the phone, Xia Yuan didn't care, he couldn't cry or laugh with just one sentence of "I'm used to it", and finally hung up the phone after chatting a few words.

But the case was deadlocked because the victim died at the time of heavy rain in City A, which washed away almost all the evidence.

According to the currently known evidence, the police identified the victim's classmate Zhou Lin as a suspect.

Lin Jizhi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so when he got off work, he made a special trip to invite an old police officer in the bureau to dinner.

It was early autumn, plus a torrential rain, the weather was a little cold, and two people sat in a small shop, eating steaming hot pot.

Lin Jizhi drank three glasses of wine and began to consult the old criminal policeman, and the old criminal policeman glanced at him, "Lin Jizhi, you really have nothing to do!"

Lin Jizhi smiled, yes, he really has nothing to do.

He lit a cigarette and said while smoking, "This case feels very strange to me, I trust my intuition, the suspect must be more than Zhou Lin, if he is let go like this, the real murderer is likely to escape." ”

The old criminal policeman was silent for a while, "How to check, now the evidence has designated Zhou Lin, unless you are a god, you can let the evidence washed away by God come back." ”

Lin Jizhi took a few sips of wine and stopped talking.

The old criminal policeman suddenly thought of something, and drank a glass of wine, "That beautiful girl, the one who often eats with you is called Xia Kite, the little girl looks good, let me tell you, there are few girls in our police station, there are a lot of bachelors, you hurry up and seize the opportunity to solve the marriage matter." ”

Lin Jizhi stopped talking, he also wanted to, but the girl didn't show any details like him at all.

She has a big personality, all her emotions are expressed on her face, and she can't hide her thoughts at all.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is time, he will always be by her side, she will always feel it.

Lin Jizhi took a sip of wine, "I'll talk about this later, and solve the matter in front of me first." ”

The old criminal policeman shook his head, "Young man, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss." ”

Lin Jizhi: "Which are you, you are an old man." ”

“……”

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon with the old criminal police, and the sun was just right, and many elderly people came out for a walk, and the streets were suddenly lively.

Lin Jizhi looked down at the time, thought about it and decided to go to Zhou Lin again, there must be missing details.

His instincts told him that such a taciturn, marginalized girl was not a suspect, even if the other party's father was the murderer Zhou Rongguo more than ten years ago.

The place where Zhou Lin lives is not far away, only one kilometer away from him, Lin Jizhi decided to walk over and take a look at the scenery along the road by the way.

Zhou Lin lives in an old community, with dilapidated floors, small advertisements plastered in the corridors, and red rust on the handrails of the stairs.

When Lin Jizhi arrived, the door was open, and what surprised him was that there was a man inside, the man was sitting on the sofa with his back to him, his back was straight and straight, his white shirt was half-pulled, and he knew that the shirt was a brand at a glance, this man was a typical social elite man.

Sensing that there was someone at the door, Jiang Zhe inadvertently turned his head, and something crossed his eyes, which was fleeting.

"Who are you?" An alert voice sounded, and Zhou Lin came out of the kitchen, holding a glass of water in his hand, and staring at Lin Jizhi at the door with a frown.

Lin Jizhi was embarrassed for a moment, he really didn't look like a good person when he appeared like this, and then calmed down and took out his police ID, "I'm a policeman." ”

"Oh. Something flashed in Zhou Lin's eyes, and his tone was a little cold, "I've already interrogated you in the morning, what do you want to do this time?"

Lin Jizhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I came this time just to ask some more questions about details." ”

No matter how annoying it is, it is necessary to cooperate with the police investigation, although Zhou Lin is unwilling, she still invites Lin Jizhi into the house.

"Please drink. Zhou Lin brought two drinks and put them on the coffee table, one was boiled water and the other was Coke.

The corners of Lin Jizhi's mouth twitched, this kid is too obviously differentiated!

Zhou Lin didn't care what Lin Jizhi thought, her eyes all fell on Jiang Zhe.

"Lawyer Jiang, according to what you said, can I get rid of suspicion?"

Lin Jizhi: "......"

Jiang Zhe was silent for a while, "I am a lawyer, and it is my duty to help defend people. ”

"Lawyer Jiang, no other lawyer is willing to help me, only you are willing to help me, you are a good person. Zhou Lin said movingly.

Lin Jizhi almost squirted out of the water he just drank, he didn't know what was going on in the lawyer's circle, but he had also heard of the reputation of this lawyer Jiang, as long as the price was high, black could be said to be white, a typical hypocrite.

Helping Zhou Lin this time was beyond his expectations, Lin Jizhi swallowed it with difficulty, and listened to the conversation between the two in silence on the side.

Finally, Jiang Zhe suddenly turned his head to look at him, "Officer Lin." ”

Hey, Lin Jizhi was stunned for a while before he reacted that he was shouting to himself, and replied reflexively, "What's wrong?"

"If you want to make friends with Officer Lin, can you leave a contact number?" Jiang Zhe spoke softly, but his eyes were indifferent.

Lin Jizhi was startled, and subconsciously thought that he would be interesting to him, but his gaze immediately wiped this thought away.

"Oh, here's my phone number. Lin Jizhi reported a string of numbers.

Jiang Zhe added him to the address book, "I still have to leave beforehand, and I'll see you later and invite Officer Lin for dinner." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, Lin Jizhi's mind was a little confused, just leave the number, what the hell is it to invite him to dinner when they meet for the first time?

Is he so handsome that even men like him?

Lin Jizhi pinched his face unconsciously, no, where does he look gay?

It's just that the action of pinching his face fell in Zhou Lin's eyes like a pervert, and her impression of him was a little worse.

"Officer, what do you want to ask, hurry up and ask, I'll go to work later. Zhou Lin said in a cold tone.

Lin Jizhi's heart was on fire, what kind of anger did this little girl have on him?

His tone was not very good, "Aren't you going to school?"

"If I don't work, can I let Officer Lin raise me?" Zhou Lin's mouth hooked, and his tone was sarcastic, "I'm definitely not as idle as you policemen, running back and forth more than a dozen times, for fear that I will escape!"

Lin Jizhi coughed a few times, it was indeed his fault, he asked his subordinates to stare at her, but he didn't expect to cause such a reaction.

"Hmm...... This is also for the sake of the case, and we police can't do anything about it. Lin Jizhi said helplessly.

Zhou Lin stared at him, "I'm not a suspect, I didn't kill anyone, you stared at me like this, violating my privacy." ”

Lin Jizhi is embarrassed, this girl is starting to be quite unreasonable.

"It's not an invasion of privacy, and the police have the right to do that if you're not cleared. ”

"Tracking included?"

“……”

didn't ask anything, Lin Jizhi was kicked out, and the first time he tasted frustration was on a teenage girl.

Lin Jizhi stared at the tightly closed door, and there was no place for the fire in his heart to flare up, so he had to leave sullenly.

When he went down the stairs, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and Lin Qin called him.

"Brother, when are you coming back, you have been staying at the police station for several days, and your parents are asking when you will come back?" Lin Qin's voice came over the phone, gentle and clear.

Lin Jizhi plucked his ears, and sure enough, his sister was still a gentle, ladylike.

"Well, you talk to your parents, and I'll be back soon. ”

"Okay, by the way, my parents asked you to bring Xia Kite back for dinner together, Aunt Xia and Uncle Xia are in our house, and it is rare for the two families to get together. ”

Lin Ji's heart jumped, "What's the matter?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Brother, you know, I don't need to say too much, I know you must be very happy, hurry up and bring Xia Kite over." ”

"......" Lin Jizhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Xia Kite is busy with the exam, so I won't bother her." ”

"You might as well tell your parents about this, what's the use of telling me, hang up, bye-bye. ”

"Doodoo ......"

Lin Jizhi stared at his mobile phone and struggled for a while to dial Xia Kite's number.

"Are you busy?"

"It's busy. Xia Yuan put on the headphones and said without hesitation: "I have nothing to do with you to eat or something now." ”

Lin Jizhi pulled his lips, "Well, I'm also busy, and the matter of eating really has to be delayed." ”

"Hung up. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Jizhi sighed in his heart, he must have to go home when he goes home, he slept in the bureau for a few nights, and the whole person was about to be paralyzed, his hands and feet were stiff, and his dark circles were thick, like a zombie.

The twilight covered the earth like a veil, and Lin Qin stood in front of the window, looking at the brightly lit night view of the city.

"Qin'er, call your brother again, and if you don't come back, your Aunt Xia has made a few calls to Kite. Lin Mu's voice sounded behind her.

"I saw my brother's car. Lin Qin stared downstairs and looked at the two people who came out of the car, it was Xia Kite and Lin Jizhi.

"Oh, they're back. ”

Lin Qin turned around and smiled, "They're very busy, busier than us." ”

Mother Lin poked her head out of the kitchen together, "You go downstairs to buy some ingredients and fruits and come back, there is no fruit at home." ”

Xia Mu was washing vegetables on the side, "There are a bunch of fruits piled up on the coffee table in the living room, where is it." ”

Mother Lin: "It's good to move around more, this girl nests at home every day and lets her run errands." ”

"What's the matter!" Lin Qin pursed his mouth, "I'm studying well!"

Lin Qin went downstairs and met two people who were about to go upstairs, Lin Qin grabbed Xia Kite's arm, "Let's go, run errands with me!" Glancing at Lin Jizhi by the way, "And brother, go as a coolie." ”

Lin Jizhi: "......"
