At noon at the end of August, the cafeteria of the Criminal Investigation Corps was full of people, and it was the peak of dining between half past eleven and twelve o'clock, and there was a long queue at the door of each window, and the line slowly moved forward. Shi Yan, the forensic doctor of the technical department of the serious crime team, had just finished eating when she felt that the team suddenly fell silent. She slowly sat down in front of Chen Shijie, who was immersed in eating: "Hey, what important person did you say came in just now?" ”

"We are a mass canteen, how can there be any important people, the leaders are all eating in the small canteen upstairs. It's nothing more than a sensitive person, a conspicuous person. You see, some of the members of the Appearance Association have stopped in mid-air. Chen Shijie's eyes were sharp, and he raised his chin to several old policemen and pointed to Shi Yan.

Sure enough, many colleagues were intoxicated in the mode of watching the beautiful scenery, Shi Yan followed their eyes to find it, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, Wan Er smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Hey, Qiao Zhen, come and sit with me." ”

Qiao Zhen, the girl who was greeted, generously carried the meal and followed Shi Yan unhurriedly. Qiao Zhen's slender body of 1.7 meters, standing behind Shi Yan, who is 1.8 meters, still looks very tall. She had long, chocolate-colored curly hair, a high, haphazard ponytail, large eyes with one eyelid, and a deep dimple on the left side that appeared with every word she spoke, and her expression always looked like a smile.

Before the two of them could sit down, Chen Shijie suddenly sped up his speed and pulled up the meal.

"Why, isn't this colleague welcoming me?" Qiao Zhen asked Shi Yan softly with a smile.

"Don't get him wrong, this is the cutest tech otaku Chen Shijie in our group. He is usually low-key, and he doesn't want to be seen sitting and eating with a big beauty like you. ”

"Hello, I'm Qiao Zhen, I just finished training this year, please teach me more in the future."

"Qiao Zhen, your introduction is a bit too simple and modest. Let me add, she is not only a big beauty, but also a veritable talented girl and a scholar. She has a double master's degree in trace science and criminal psychology from a prestigious American university, and it is really condescending to come to us. By the way, her dad is our detective Qiao Raogang. ”

Chen Shijie raised his head silently and slowly glanced at Qiao Zhen's face, Shi Yan is usually a cold fan who does not smile, and only opens Chrysostom when he talks about characters he has a good impression of, it seems that Qiao Zhen has a good relationship with her. And Qiao Raogang is their top boss Qiao Xiaogang, the leader of the serious crime team. It seems that my judgment just now is completely correct.

"Hey, senior sister, the last sentence can be omitted, I get angry when I talk about this dad." Qiao Zhen put down his chopsticks, and his face changed slightly.

"What's the matter, I heard that you were assigned to our serious crime team for the morning meeting, isn't that what you want?"

"Originally, my father single-mindedly pushed me to work as an in-house officer in the comprehensive team, and it was not a group that I strongly required to have a professional counterpart in order to enter the serious crime team for internship. What's even more infuriating is that my dad actually suggested that I go to your team's archives to sort out the case files. ”

"Qiao Raogang is probably a baby of your daughter, and I am reluctant to let you go out on the scene and be tired."

"As soon as I came, I had to ask in front of the leadership and make it so high-profile. But your leader is not bad, the deputy captain Zhang Chenzhi, it wasn't for him to support me, what did he say, 'to train young people, Ren Xian does not avoid relatives and so on', it is estimated that I really have to go to the office every day to write internal manuscript research articles. Why do you think my dad is talking like this now? ”

"You just came here and didn't understand the situation, Qiao Rao Gang is our old master here, with old qualifications and hard skills, and the leaders all pointed to him to solve big cases, and his proud protégé Zhang Chenzhi dared to contradict him. However, Team Zhang is the most unofficial leader, and the peacekeeping force has made a second-class meritorious service, and you will get to know him in the future. ”

"Hey, hurry up and stop, when it comes to Team Zhang, she can't finish talking about it for a few days and nights." Chen Shijie, who had not spoken, stuffed the yogurt into Shi Yan's hand.

Shi Yan was about to refute, when the mobile phone rang, and Chen Shijie's mobile phone rang at the same time. Qiao Zhen watched them in confusion and hung up after a few brief responses. I only heard Chen Shijie mutter: "I said that you have to eat early." ”

"Out of the scene, do you want to come along?" Shi Yan asked slowly and methodically.

Qiao Zhen quickly swallowed the last few bites of food into his mouth, regardless of the image, while eating, followed the two of them closely, and asked inarticulately: "It won't be counted as me leaving the post without permission, I'm still on the safe side, and send a text message to Qiao Raogang." ”

"It's okay, isn't there still Team Zhang covered, what are you afraid of." Chen Shijie naturally took the plate in the hands of the two ladies and nodded to Zhang Chenzhi, who was waiting behind him to put the plate. Zhang Chenzhi, who didn't know what was going on, pretended to smile calmly, amusing the three of them.

This is a single-family old bungalow in the former French Concession of Shanghai, the heavy iron gate in the center of Shanghai isolates this residence from the world, and a security booth is set up at the door, and the specially hired security is also rare and rigorous, not talking about documents, only looking at faces. Even when the police car wanted to enter, it was interrogated before it was released.

Pushing open the gate, the exquisite garden scenery is scattered, and the century-old sycamore on the road densely pokes into the courtyard, reflecting the red flowers and green leaves in the courtyard. There is a whole row of parking spaces in the yard, which makes people wonder if this is a platinum lot in the inner ring where every inch of land is valuable.

When the three of them arrived, Qiao Rao was already guarding the hall on the ground floor. The café, piano, sofa and home theater are harmoniously arranged in this huge living room, and the midday sun shines through the skylight and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Qiao Rao just saw Qiao Zhenyi frowning: "Why are you here?" Who gave you permission to come? ”

"Dad, I've sent you a text message, practice makes true knowledge, I'm here to learn."

Qiao Raogang didn't even look at her, and threw down a sentence: "There is no father here, only Qiao Raogang, Qiao Team." It's really unorganized and undisciplined, and it's still the first day of reporting. ”

Qiao Rao just said that, he didn't pay attention to her, took out a notebook from his briefcase, and walked straight to the side. On the couch next to her, a young woman was sitting crying and slumping. With tears in her eyes, she used the remote control to lower the curtain of the skylight just now, presumably the family of the deceased.

Qiao Raogang's face was not angry and arrogant, and others didn't seem to hear the sharp crying and screaming, so he held his breath, quickly dressed neatly, and carried the toolbox into the room to work.

Seeing the corpse, Qiao Zhen wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong at first, but it didn't take long for him to start coughing violently, accompanied by an uncontrollable retching. She quickly turned around and walked quickly out of the deceased's room. Shi Yan and Chen Shijie were attracted to her, and looked at her a little inexplicably. The two of them really don't understand, just Qiao Zhen is so bold, seeing the bloodless and weird dead is like a ghost, how can they appear at the scene in the future?

Indeed, this corpse is too ordinary at first glance, and it is not as conspicuous as the high-end oil paintings and art ornaments that can be found throughout the room. The deceased was a slightly chubby man in his forties, who was lying flat on his back on a large bed but did not appear so obese. If it weren't for the foam in his mouth, the lack of sparkle in his slightly open eyes, the neatly dressed suit, and the heavily armed forensic doctors and police officers around him, he would probably be no different from a sleeping man.

The peaceful man lying on the bed seemed to be dreaming, and he should have been the protagonist of this sweet dream.

There were no external injuries or bloodstains, and the expression of the deceased was very peaceful and calm, as if he was still dreaming about something, which became a very rare occurrence in the daily scene of the criminal police. The local police station felt that this case was a bit strange, and it was not sure whether it was suicide or homicide, so after asking for instructions, the case was transferred to the criminal investigation brigade of the city bureau. On the way here, they already had the basic information of the deceased. In his forties, he has a successful career and a successful real estate company, not only has he invested in several foreign real estate, but he can also sit back and relax with the passive income from the rent of commercial floors every month. He will enter the palace of marriage for the first time next month, and the bride is a beautiful girlfriend he has been looking for for a long time and has been in love for many years, six years younger than him, and he started to be a "full-time wife" a few years ago, who expected the groom to leave overnight.

While Shi Yan and the others were inspecting the corpse, Qiao Zhen also walked around the apartment in full gear. This is a very elegant villa, it can be seen that the hostess has a good taste of life, there is no common style of the general local tyrant's house, the color and furniture of the whole house complement each other, even the variety and location of green plants are also very particular, refreshing and grade, simple but not simple. Every thick floor, every delicate wall tile seems to tell the flow of time.

The bookshelves in the study are full of photos of the two people, scenic spots at home and abroad, although the groom's appearance is not high, but judging from the photo posture of the two, his fiancée admires and relies on him. The time span of the photo is from 2010 to 2016, the fiancée's appearance has not changed, but the groom's body shape is like most married men, blowing balloons.

Qiao Zhen went straight to the kitchen to take a look, there were many new cooking appliances such as air fryers and ceramic baking trays on the table, and the huge double-door refrigerator was filled with almost all kinds of fresh ingredients, from organic vegetables and imported lamb chops to sugar-free drinks. In one of the small storage boxes, Qiao Zhen found two small unopened insulin injections and glucose reagents. At least one of the owners of the house is diabetic.

She went back to the hall to see what was going on with Qiao Raogang, the fiancée had cried to the point of collapse, and was sitting on the sofa with a pale face, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed. Her long straight black hair was sticky with tears, a few strands of collar were messily stuck to her face, her mascara was melted, and her entire eye circles were black, but she didn't care. Such an image is similar to the girl with exquisite makeup in the photo, and looks much more embarrassed than her dead groom.

It seems that Qiao Rao Gang doesn't have much to gain here.
