Zhou Nan first made a phone call home, asked his mother Yue Ping, and heard that his father Zhou Ningyu had not come back, so he called Zhou Ningyu on the landline in the office again.

After the phone was connected, the father and son communicated briefly on the phone, and heard that his father, under the instruction of Liu Xiangdong, secretary of the municipal party committee, had replaced Han Yafei as the leader of the task force and was fully responsible for the case.

For Zhou Ningyu, this is of course a very valuable opportunity, if the case is solved, his merits will naturally be great, and he will definitely be promoted logically, and become the justifiable director of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau, and may even concurrently serve as the deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Political and Legal Committee.

But the crux of the matter is that this case is not easy to solve. Purely from the perspective of criminal investigation and solving cases, Zhou Ningyu may not be much stronger than Han Yafei, the deputy director of the criminal police. Zhou Ningyu's biggest reliance is probably Zhou Nan, the son who seems to be a little "omnipotent".

But is Zhou Nan really "omnipotent"? Zhou Ningyu didn't know the bottom of his heart. However, there is no way back for him now, and he must go on what he should be. As long as Liu Xiangdong has the intention to promote him, even if the case drags on for a longer time in the end, there will be no problem.

Zhou Nan groaned for a while, forced himself to get a more detailed case from his father, hung up the phone, and rushed to Meng's house.

It didn't take long for the doorbell to ring, and the door opened. It was Chen Xi who opened the door.

Seeing Zhou Nan, a bright smile immediately appeared on Chen Xi's bright and delicate face, which was different from Chen Xi's signature smile in Zhou Nan's impression in the past, and seemed to be really sincere from the heart.

This made Zhou Nan feel a little weird - could it be that this elf-quirky little girl really changed her surname?

Meng Chunting changed into a homely pajamas, wore an apron in front of her waist, and was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Zhou Nan enter the door, she peeked out of the kitchen and smiled gently, "Xiao Zhou, you play with Chen Xi first, and I'll be fine for a while." I'll give you a taste of my craft tonight......"

Meng Chunting's demeanor is very soft and can even be said to be very feminine, because of the apron, the faint strong woman's momentum has long dissipated with the wind.

"Mr. Meng, I'm so embarrassed, I let you cook it yourself. What can I do for you? Zhou Nan smiled embarrassedly, and was about to enter the kitchen.

Meng Chunting glanced back at him and smiled, "Don't be so polite, I don't want you to help, you still have to wait outside, I'll be fine soon." ”

There was a strong aroma of stewed pork ribs wafting out of the kitchen, Chen Xi beside him sniffed deeply, and said with a grin, "Brother Zhou Nan, my mother stewed pork ribs, my mother's best thing is stewed pork ribs, it's delicious, you can eat it once and think twice, it's not good, I want to run to our house every day to eat!" ”

"Stinky girl, how can you talk!" Meng Chunting turned around and scolded with a smile, "You two don't stand at the door, let's go play." Xiao Zhou, you go to make up for her by the way. ”

Zhou Nan sighed, and entered her bedroom with a smile with Chen Xi.

As soon as he entered Chen Xi's bedroom, Zhou Nan immediately felt some kind of change, this little girl's room seemed to be much cleaner and tidier than the previous few times. If she hadn't really changed her surname, she had cleaned up her room in advance in order to wait for Zhou Nan to come. Come to think of it, the latter may have a larger surname.

Zhou Nan glanced at Chen Xi, and always felt that this little girl seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing her for a few days, but Zhou Nan still insisted that it was just an illusion, and she didn't take it to heart.

"Brother Zhou Nan, I'm about to eat, what kind of homework are you still tutoring...... You might as well take a look at my album. Chen Xi smiled and took out an album from the bedside table, threw it to Zhou Nan, and then sat down beside Zhou Nan honestly, opened the album with his hand, and introduced his photos to Zhou Nan.

Chen Xi on the album is innocent, beautiful and lovely, and very photogenic.

But Zhou Nan watched it for a long time, and suddenly felt a little strange, why there was only a photo with her mother Meng Chunting in her album, and there was no trace of her father, which seemed to be a little ...... Thinking that he hadn't seen the male head of the family several times, and there was no sign of a man's "activity" at home, Zhou Nan had some doubts in his heart.

But this is someone else's **, Zhou Nan naturally won't ask these questions to ask for self-interest.

But if Zhou Nan doesn't ask, it doesn't mean that Chen Xi won't say it.

Just when Zhou Nan inadvertently flipped through a yellowed old photo, he suddenly found that this photo was supposed to be a group photo of the three of them, but the left position was cut off by Shengsheng with scissors, leaving only the young Chen Xi and Meng Chunting alone on it.

Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, didn't ask, pretended not to see that he was about to turn the page, but heard Chen Xi gently purse his lips and whisper, and there was a bit of crying in his voice, "Brother Zhou Nan, I don't have a father, my father divorced my mother when I was 6 years old and ran away to the south with a wild woman...... I hate him, very, very much hate him! ”

Zhou Nan was stunned, and immediately looked up at Chen Xi, seeing tears floating on her delicate and gentle little face, Chu Chu was pitifully looking at herself with tearful eyes, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in her heart, so she gently reached over and held her little hand, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"My mom used to say that men don't have a good thing. But I think Brother Zhou Nan is a good person......" Chen Xi suddenly choked and threw himself into Zhou Nan's arms, his delicate shoulders twitching slightly, "I can feel it, Brother Zhou Nan is really for my good...... Actually, it's not that I don't want to study hard, but I ......"

The girl's fragrance came into her nose, and the body of a soft and slightly green girl was completely attached to her chest, and Zhou Nan's body couldn't help but become a little stiff. He wanted to push Chen Xi away immediately, but he felt that this might make her react violently, so he hesitated and finally patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly.

However, until now, Zhou Nan has not really figured out why Chen Xi became so excited tonight, and really revealed the innocent side of the flower girl.

Later, Zhou Nan learned that this day turned out to be Chen Xi's birth. During dinner that night, Meng Chunting's mother and daughter did not mention this stubble, let alone prepare a cake or anything. To be honest, the atmosphere of the meal was relatively dull, Zhou Nan was embarrassed to eat more, so he simply said goodbye and went home.

Chen Xi's life experience and the scene of Meng Chunting's family made Zhou Nan slightly emotional. However, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, where is there a perfect family?

Zhou Nan didn't pay too much attention to it. No matter what Meng Chunting's family situation is, it can't affect her to be her leader, and for Zhou Nan, everything will be business as usual.

It's just that after this incident, Zhou Nan felt that Chen Xi's child was actually quite pitiful, so he slowly changed his impression of Chen Xi, and no longer rejected her tutoring.

……

……

Three days later.

The Haidu City Public Security Bureau's "Qinghua Street Murder and Corpse Crushing Case" special case group held a press conference, and at the same time announced that some physical evidence and clues in the case were opened, and the general public was welcome to visit and make reports.

However, this exhibition did not attract many people. The main reason is that they want to register with their real names and ask their units to issue a letter of introduction, which not only makes many people feel very troublesome, but also feels that something is not quite right -- who knows what the public security bureau wants to do, and if it is involved in the case, it will be a big trouble. You must know that there have been many unjust, false and wrongful cases in recent years.

Zhou Nan naturally rushed over, and only in this way could he directly participate in the investigation of this case and put forward his own suggestions without a trace. Next, he knew that the special case group of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau would also hold a meeting to discuss the facts of the case, and citizen representatives and media reporters were welcome to attend, and he was also prepared to participate.

The so-called "clues" and "physical evidence" that the police really have are nothing more than three black travel bags deliberately left at the scene by the murderer to hold the broken corpses, as well as some personal belongings and supplies taken from the rented hut of the female deceased.

Of course, there are also some photographs of the female deceased, as well as photographs taken at some times at the scene of the dumping of the body, as well as the testimony of some eyewitnesses at the scene. It's just that although there are many witnesses, none of them can clearly say that they saw the murderer, and for the black car driven by the murderer, no one remembers the license plate number, and even the model of the car is blank.

Haidu is so big, black cars abound, one does not have a license plate number, and the other does not know the model and brand of the car, so where does the police start?

"God, this female deceased is from the countryside, right? A girl who came out to work in the countryside was so harmed, this murderer really deserves a thousand cuts......"

"If you catch him, you won't be able to get rid of his hatred if you shoot him immediately!"

"It is said that there are more than 1,000 pieces of minced meat, and each slice of meat is evenly cut...... What a horror! ”

"So many? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"When did I talk nonsense? I read it from the newspapers...... There are still in today's newspaper, don't believe it, go check it out! ”

"This murderer can't be a doctor, right? Either that's the butcher! ”

"I heard that the murderer ran out of a mental hospital, and I think the Public Security Bureau should go to a mental hospital to see if there are any fewer people......

There were whispers of several visitors talking in his ears, and Zhou Nan was silent.

It's been more than half an hour since he came in, and he has looked carefully from beginning to end, but he hasn't seen anything. He stood in the empty exhibition hall, his eyes swept over the sparse figures around him, and a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He is not a criminal investigation expert after all, even if he is a reborn, but it is tantamount to making it more difficult for him to find valuable clues to solve the case from these monotonous "things".

He turned around to leave, but the moment he turned around, he was suddenly fascinated by something that was placed in the cupboard.
