Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
On a weekly ocean date, my mother obviously didn't want to be unpleasant with her, so her tone softened a lot: "Really, I think it's true, what does your father think about this matter, what he plans to do, you also know his temper, none of us can control it." However, Mom wants to remind you that you are still young and your life has to go on, so don't care about these old things of us adults. ”
When Qiao Zhen heard this, his head tilted, and he looked back slightly angrily: "You adults, if it weren't because of this incident, would I have no mother?" ”
Through the screen, the camera slowed down for a few seconds, and I could feel my mother smile awkwardly: "Your father and I have a problem, and this incident is just a catalyst." ”
Qiao Zhencai didn't care about these mother's words, in her opinion, these were just excuses, and she pressed her anger and chased after her: "Do you not believe in my ability to handle cases, or do you think that your departure is insignificant to me?" ”
"Really, Mom just wants you to have your own life, have your own goals, and don't dwell on the past."
"Mom, this unsolved case is not just the past, it directly affects my future!"
"It's not that serious, a lot of things are not as complicated as you think."
"That's because you never realized how much of an impact you had on me when you weren't together. You have started a new life, but my new life is connected and inseparable from the past. ”
"Mom doesn't want you to have any embarrassment, after all, you are still a newcomer, and your father has worked for more than five years in this case, and he has no ability to interfere and solve it, not to mention that you have not yet turned a regular."
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll definitely find a way to find out."
Qiao Zhen has not worked overtime in the past few days, and the tragedy of the store is still being visited on the periphery, and there is no progress. The word "unsolved" almost kept her awake all night.
If it was really the owner of the small shop who hired a murderer to kill his wife, but the other party accidentally killed his son, then the grief is not because the acting skills are too good, but it may also be the true feelings, which makes sense, but such a reasonable and bold assumption, there are no human witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions. Could it be that her portrayal of the suspect was all wrong, and where was the mistake?
The bloody case of a loved one's exotic jewelry store many years ago was so tragic. Did the father participate, what were the doubts and difficulties at the scene, why was the case suddenly shelved, and the uncle-in-law had lived in a fixed place for so many years, and the two countries frequently traveled back and forth, struggling to find answers, did there be progress?
Lying on the bed, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling, Qiao Zhen was so troubled by the endless problems that he couldn't fall asleep after turning and turning, and finally survived until dawn. She pressed the alarm clock on her phone and walked out of her bedroom quickly, wanting to share her questions with Shi Yan. Among Shi Yan and her, the other party is always a stable and mature one, and it is always right to let her come up with ideas.
Turning around the room, Qiao Zhen found that Shi Yan, who had never gotten up early, left first, but there was a mess on the stove, obviously Shi Yan was rushing to work after making breakfast, and she hadn't had time to clean up. She looked through the calendar on her phone, but there was no meeting reminder, and muttered: "It's really a workaholic, I went to work overtime early in the morning." "Lift the pot and enjoy your breakfast slowly.
With Shi Yan, the chef, as her roommate, Qiao Zhen's true Chinese stomach is undoubtedly revealed, and even in a hurry on a weekday morning, you can taste her craftsmanship. She always soaked the nutritious porridge with various grains every other day, set a predetermined time, and the next day they could wake up and warm up their stomachs before going out.
On this day, the content on the table was not the usual five-grain porridge, but Chaoshan-style nest egg beef porridge, the porridge base is delicious, and the beef is tender. Qiao Zhen ate to his heart's content and went out to work.
As soon as he entered the unit, Qiao Zhen went straight to the forensic office, where Chen Shijie was busy doing the daily routine of disinfection preparations. Seeing her coming, it was hard to hide her bright face: "Are you looking for Shi Yan?" ”
Qiao Zhen nodded: "Didn't she come early today?" ”
Chen Shijie pointed to her seat: "When I came, I only saw her bag, but I didn't see her." Later, our group has a meeting, she doesn't even have a mobile phone, and I'm still trying to go to your place to find her and inform her, so you found it first. ”
"It's strange, where can I go in the early morning, I'll look for it again, you get busy first." Qiao Zhen said and waved at him and walked to the elevator. On the floor display frame, the number stays on the seventh floor of the criminal squad. It took about a minute, and then straight down, the voices of a young man and a woman came from the elevator. It's very light, it seems to be discussing some serious topic, and listening to the tone, it's obvious that he's not talking about work, but he can tell that the man is Zhang Chenzhi.
The moment the elevator door slowly opened, Qiao Zhen clearly saw Shi Yan's hand quietly shaking off the man's hand behind her back, and she was holding an empty glass box in her other hand, which still had some porridge left.
Zhang Chenzhi nodded at Qiao Zhen with a smile and a smile, as if the hand that was thrown away just now was not his. Shi Yan walked out quickly with bright eyes, as if she didn't see Qiao Zhen, she didn't talk to Zhang Chenzhi, and left without looking back.
Although Shi Yan has always been cold and showy, this attitude towards idols and roommates is really rare and illogical. Qiao really didn't know why, and pretended to say hello to him casually. thought to herself, it turned out that Shi Yan's sudden change of cuisine was not prepared for her, she just borrowed the light to enjoy it. Thinking of this, she felt a little inexplicably lost in her heart.
Could it be that the two of them have been boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time, so why have they never heard Shi Yan mention it, and there is no sweet joy on her face, but it is mixed with grievances and humiliation? She secretly glanced at Zhang Chenzhi, but she couldn't see half of the answer from his face. The two of them stood straight, staring at the number of floors jumping above them.
"Team Zhang, I have a question for you." Qiao Zhen listened to his voice to break the dullness in the elevator, looking a little strange.
"Huh?" Zhang Chenzhi frowned slightly. The scene just now was really negligent and misleading. Could it be that this girl is used to going straight and straight, and she wants to ask him for Shi Yan's performance just now?
Sure enough, Qiao Zhen didn't throw the question directly as usual, turned his head and glanced at him with a complicated expression and said, "Can I come to your office to talk?" ”
Zhang Chenzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time couldn't ask for it: "Of course you can." ”
As soon as Qiao Zhen sat down, he went straight to the point and said, "Team Zhang, have you heard of an unsolved case more than 20 years ago?" ”
Zhang Chenzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was faintly disappointed, thought about it, and immediately asked: "You mean the case of the South African jewelry store?" ”
Qiao Zhen said: "I know that you have participated in the work of peacekeeping forces, you should know the process of handling such transnational cases, right?" ”
"You want to ask, why can't this case be investigated?"
Qiao Zhen nodded earnestly and eagerly.
"This case is a pain in my master's heart. If we want to say how it became an unsolved case, it still has something to do with the general environment of international joint case handling at that time. ”
"The system is not mature and the communication is not timely enough?"
"That's just one of the reasons. At that time, we got the news here that your uncle-in-law came to the bureau to report the case through his family. The first time the crime happened, we missed it. ”
"So, all the survey work at that time was in charge of the South African side?"
"It can be said that I heard about this case later, because it happened in an area with a high incidence of cases, the local underworld forces are strong, the work pressure of the police is very high, and the danger is not small, and it is the norm to do nothing after receiving the report. Therefore, according to our people later, the evidence in the first place was not well protected, including the autopsy, and it was completed in a sloppy manner. ”
"So, did our task force actually send someone over?"
"The faction was sent over, but it was not the first time to go, and it was only at the strong request of the family and the master that the police were sent after repeated research and discussion. Because according to the unspoken rules of the place where the crime occurred, the case was still presided over by the local police. ”
Qiao Zhen was surprised: "At that time, there was no such mechanism as an Interpol red notice? ”
"Although Interpol is second only to the United Nations in size and has a Red Notice program more than three decades ago, not all of its nearly 200 member countries are highly cooperative. Because of our people's involvement, the local police still have opinions, and the handover materials are like squeezing toothpaste, which is quite delayed. ”
