Chapter 45: Three Graves 08
Since he didn't find the third body under the tree, it means that he didn't know about this matter, so his suspicions have naturally been cleared up a lot.
It's just that although he said this, the worry in his heart did not alleviate half a point.
Under the banyan tree, the originally busy work scene stopped again.
Not only Jiang Chao, who led the team, but every police officer present felt that his scalp was numb, and three corpses were found under a tree at the same time, what does this mean?
This shows that they are likely to encounter a serious case.
Two police officers crouched down and began to assist the forensic doctor in clearing the soil covering the third body, Jiang Chao ordered, and the rest of the people began a carpet search of the woods by the lake, and if they found any traces of loose soil, they immediately began to excavate,
After assigning the task, he looked at Lin Chen again, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he swallowed his saliva: "I said old criminal, you are not in a hurry to go home today, why don't you stay for two more days?" He pulled the torturer and handed over a cigarette diligently, and then suddenly felt that the old man's complaint just now was really too good, otherwise how could he have the opportunity to ask someone to go back to assist in the investigation?
―――
The news of a serious case on the campus of Yongchuan University was quickly transmitted back to the police force like wings.
Therefore, when Lin Chen was "brought back" to the police force, he happened, and the police in the entire office looked at him with a strange look, if you want to describe what kind of "strangeness" it is, it is probably enthusiasm, or eagerness?
Lin Chen suddenly couldn't figure out the situation.
His hand was tightly held by Deputy Captain Jiang, and Deputy Captain Jiang's other hand was hooked on the shoulder of the Torture Company, and he had the momentum of not letting go.
Jiang Chao's office had apparently just been tidied up, with new bags on the trash cans and freshly mopped water stains on the floor.
In front of the desk, two chairs are specially placed, still the kind with soft backrests, and on the table, there are two cups of freshly brewed hot tea, the tea leaves are very new and green, and the tea soup is also clear and pleasant.
Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian, wanting to get some hints from the other party, but Xing Conglian didn't seem to care, he sat down at the desk with a big sword, held the teacup, and took a sip.
"Advisor Lin, please take a seat."
Lin Chen was hesitating, but Jiang Chao hurriedly pressed him to another chair and forced hot tea into his hand.
Obviously they were taken back to the police station as "suspects" to assist in the investigation, and the housekeeper of the Chen family specially put pressure on the police, but now they are treated as guests, this kind of treatment seems to be a little wrong?
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
A tiger-headed little policeman came in and said to Jiang Chao: "Team Jiang, Team Jiang, the boss let you go!" ”
"Where to go!" Jiang Chao slapped the table, "Didn't you see the torture captain and Advisor Lin there?" ”
Before Jiang Chao's words fell, a deep voice came from outside the door: "Deputy Jiang, you have been quite powerful recently?" ”
While speaking, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, and the person who came was burly, with a silver star shining on his shoulder, and he was of the same level as Inspector Huang, that is to say, it was the director of the second branch of Yongchuan, Jiang Chao's top boss, and the boss in the mouth of the little policeman.
"Zheng Ju Zheng Ju, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you see I'm really busy!" As soon as he saw his boss, Jiang Chao hurriedly nodded his head, admitting his mistake and apologizing, but the middle-aged man didn't look at him, and his eyes fell on Xing Conglian.
Following his gaze, Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian again, only to see that Xing Conglian was still sitting upright, not even looking back, as if he was unaware of the arrival of the middle-aged man, or was he deliberately ignoring people?
Lin Chen's doubts deepened in his heart.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man obviously gritted his teeth, and then pretended to be surprised to look at the back of the torture slave company, and shouted loudly: "Isn't this the captain of the torture team, why are you here?" ”
It was only at this time that Xing Conglian reacted, he stood up, turned his head, saluted the middle-aged man expressionlessly, and then said, "Zheng Ju, hello." ”
"Xiao Jiang, why don't you say anything when the torture captain is here!" The middle-aged man stepped forward, took the hand of the torturer in a very exaggerated manner, and then shook it twice, "Long time no see, long time no see, old criminal!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Jiang Chao and said, "Hurry up, order a few good dishes in the canteen, and greet the torture captain at noon!" ”
"No need." Xing Conglian said lightly, he said, while pulling out his hand from Director Zheng's hand, and handed out the bag of Wen Jiàn in his hand, both hands, "I came here just to hand over the case of Yang Dianfeng, the relevant information of this case is here, and I also ask Director Zheng to check it." ”
Lin Chen turned his head and saw that the attitude of the criminal servant was too businesslike, not only did he not mention the case of Yongchuan University, but also urged the Yongchuan police to do their best to hand over, this seems to be not quite like the style of the criminal captain?
Sure enough, hearing what the torturer Lian said, Director Zheng was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and Jiang Chao hurriedly rescued the scene: "Eh, what are you anxious about, old criminal, don't you see that something big has just happened, I really can't spare my hands!" He said, but he didn't accept the dossier at hand.
"So, bother you to send one of your men?" The criminal conglian raised his eyes and looked at the director, rarely calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
The attitude is obvious, Director Zheng himself, of course, understands very well why Xing Conglian is angry, but on the contrary, he is the one who ordered the psychological consultant of Hongjing to be brought back, and he can't apologize directly, right?
In fact, when Jiang Chao quietly called him to tell him that the suspect who was asked by the Chen family's housekeeper to take him back to the police station was the one who rescued Fang Zhiming's daughter on the Hongjing Expressway, he had long wanted to drag Chen Ping's old man out and beat him, what kind of joke, and arrest Lin Chen back to the police station as a suspect, even if he was not afraid of being squeezed by the old criminal, he was also afraid that Fang Zhiming's spirit in the sky would come to him for trouble.
"Old criminal, you see that this is not a big case just happened, we really can't draw up manpower, you just take Consultant Lin and have a meal here with peace of mind!" Director Zheng said and took the hand of the Torture Company again.
"Please do your best to hand over, Advisor Lin and I can leave as soon as possible." The criminal conglian emphasized again.
"Hey, old criminal, don't do this!"
"I'm sorry, after all, Consultant Lin didn't come to Yongchuan on business, we just went around, and we were brought into the police station as suspects, if we stayed too long, I'm afraid it would be easier to provoke criticism, right?" The torturer Lian said.
Hearing him say this, Lin Chen understood, it turned out that the criminal conglian was so abnormal and had a tough attitude, was he standing up for him?
However, he has experienced too much of such a trivial matter, and he never feels that it matters, why does he care so much?
Just when Lin Chen was very puzzled, Director Zheng finally realized from the solemn expression of the criminal congregation that if he didn't make a definite statement about today's matter, he would definitely not be good.
So he let go of the hand that was holding the torture conglian and turned to face Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was a little surprised.
"Consultant Lin, I'm really sorry, today is indeed a misunderstanding, don't worry about it!"
The middle-aged man's tone was sincere, and, after finishing speaking, he even bowed his head slightly to him to apologize.
After all, the director personally came forward to apologize, Lin Chen was very embarrassed, he wanted to get up and return the salute, but the hand of the torture servant was pressed on his shoulder.
From the weight passed from that hand, Lin Chen understood that the meaning of the punishment was that you were not allowed to stand up, this is as it should be, and you can bear it.
Now that the other party has apologized, of course Xing Conglian will not put on that cold face again.
After Director Zheng stood up straight, he also took back the information and said to Jiang Chao: "Since Captain Jiang is busy, Consultant Lin and I have not slept all night, I want to rest first, and then call us when you are free?" ”
"Eh, why do you want to leave!" When Jiang Chao heard this, his face was instantly full of grievances.
"We don't leave, if it's convenient, we can just rest in the police duty room." After the torture conglian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Chen.
Looking at his deep eyes, Lin Chen had no choice but to nod.
Lin Chen felt that the atmosphere of the entire Yongchuan Branch was a little strange.
For example, the director would personally apologize to him, and just now, on the way to the duty room with the convict, he was forced to stuff a few pieces of candy into his hand.
The lights in the duty room are dim, and in the small room, there are two simple bunk beds.
When he really saw the bed, Lin Chen felt sleepy, he didn't have a habit of cleanliness, since he was sleepy, then he should sleep, so the candy in his hand was put on the bedside table, took off his shoes, and climbed into bed.
The convict didn't sleep in a bed, he sat in a chair with his feet crossed on the other chair very casually.
"The Yongchuan police seem to be very reluctant to hand over Yang Dianfeng's case to you, why?" Thinking that in Fang Cai's office, the criminal conglian only used a Wen Jiàn bag to force the other party to bow his head, Lin Chen thought about it and asked this question.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with Wen Jiàn." The convict took off his police uniform, put it on his body, and then turned his head sideways and looked at him, "It's just about you." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this answer, Lin Chen was slightly surprised.
"What do you think of the case of Yongchuan University?" The sentence changed from Lian to the front.
"It's not easy." Lin Chen replied.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"Do you think it's shocking to find three overlapping corpses under a banyan tree?" Lin Chen asked.
"Very."
"So what is your first reaction when you see a corpse buried on campus?"
"Common homicide." The criminal servant even told the truth.
"What does it mean for a shocking story to begin with a bland narrative?"
"Someone wants a twist and turn?" Xing Conglian suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant, even if the three people under the tree were willing to be buried alive, someone must have covered the last handful of soil with their own hands.
"He's done it now." Lin Chen said quietly, but when he finished speaking, he also understood what the torture servant company meant, "You mean, Captain Jiang and them?" ”
"They, I guess they really want to keep you and help with the investigation." The torturer was a little helpless.
"I don't understand, I see, it's not that important." Lin Chen told the truth that the director personally apologized because he wanted him to assist in the investigation, even if Sherlock Holmes came here, I am afraid it would be difficult to enjoy this treatment.
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Xing Conglian's eyes suddenly softened, he looked at the candy that Lin Chen had just put down, and said softly: "Because Fang Zhiming worked here for ten years before he was transferred to the anti-narcotics department, and the people here, including Director Zheng himself, were all his colleagues. ”
You've uncovered a dark truth, you've saved their co-workers from innocent deaths, you've saved their co-workers' daughters, you're really, really important to them.
The Chen family may be able to put pressure on the police, but no matter how much pressure there is, where can the enemy be better than the things you have done.
In this world, money may be able to buy countless submissive glances and hypocritical flattery, but it can never buy true respect.
"You know about it, so ...... Must ask Director Zheng to apologize? ”
"How could I have asked for anything?" The torture Conglian smiled dumbly, "Do you think that Director Zheng personally went downstairs just to scold Captain Jiang, he knew that he ordered you to be arrested, and he specially came to compensate you, but he didn't have a chance to speak." ”
"So, they were acting just now?"
"Yes, the characteristics of the second bureau of Yongchuan."
Lin Chen leaned on the bed, feeling that the atmosphere of this police station was indeed a bit bizarre.
"Not used to it?" Looking at the man who was leaning on the bed and deep in thought, the torturer Lian suddenly spoke.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's good to get used to it later."
After the torturer finished speaking, he turned off the lamp at the head of the bed: "Rest well, they won't let us go later." ”
Heavy curtains, carefully pulled up, in the room, there is hardly a trace of light,
Soon there was the sound of even breathing in my ears.
Lin Chen stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of candy from the bedside table, and then peeled off the candy paper.
The sound of the torturer's breathing gradually became longer.
Lin Chen put the sugar in his mouth.
You don't have to, because ...... It's going to be hard for me to hold my own......
