Chen Nian and Fang Jinyu drove on the road.

Fang Jinyu looked at the silent side face of Chen Nian in the passenger seat, and remembered the embarrassing scene of the two getting together in front of the rose petal ring on the day of the crime. Fang Jinyu subconsciously twisted her face out of the window, but her thoughts returned to eight years ago.

At that time, Fang Jinyu was still a student of the police academy, to be exact, a school flower.

Among the many suitors, Fang Jinyu finally chose Dong Jianqing, who was also a popular figure in the school. Men and women. They spent a sweet and happy college time together.

The turning point came on the eve of graduation. Fang Jinyu studied criminal psychology and wanted to stay in school to teach. Dong Jianqing accepted a secret mission from the city bureau and lurked as an undercover agent in a human trafficking and gang-related syndicate. The undercover operation is codenamed "Swift".

Later, the plan for Operation Swift was leaked and the operation failed. Dong Jianqing didn't see anyone alive or dead. Fang Jinyu had no intention of staying in school, went abroad to study for a doctorate, and returned to the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Huajiang Public Security Bureau.

"Jinyu, what do you say roses represent?" Chen Nian asked suddenly.

Fang Jinyu came back to her senses: "Love! ”

"Is there a difference in the meaning of different colors of roses?"

"Yes," Fang Jinyu said, "Generally speaking, red represents love, white represents innocence, yellow represents nobility, and pink represents first love......

"Wait." Chen Nian interrupted her, "What did you just say?" ”

"Red represents ...... in love"

"The last sentence."

"Pink represents first love, pink ......" Fang Jinyu suddenly woke up, "The rose petal ring on Lin Yang's hand is pink. Chen Nian nodded.

While speaking, Chen Nian and Fang Jinyu had already come to the stationery store opposite Huajiang No. 2 Middle School. This is the 72nd store they have inspected that sells jewelry.

"Hello, do you sell this accessory here?" Fang Jinyu stepped forward to ask.

The female shopkeeper was watching a Korean drama, and without raising her head, she said: "This kind of ring is sold everywhere, the third row on the left, pick it yourself." ”

"Eldest sister, I don't want to buy jewelry, I just want to know who has bought this kind of ring recently."

The female shopkeeper got up and walked out of the counter: "I'll just say, how can such a beautiful beauty buy such a child's thing." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Nian who was standing beside Fang Jinyu, "Hey, your boyfriend is also quite handsome!" However, look at the two of you are not like students, why don't you go to the first department store to buy a diamond ring, what do you mean by coming to me? ”

Fang Jinyu didn't make a sound, her face was ruddy.

Chen Nian hurriedly showed his ID: "Sister, we are policemen." Then he went straight to the point, "We want to know, who has come to buy this kind of jewelry these days?" ”

The female shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, this kind of headflower, ring, and card for a few dollars, people come to buy it every day, and the little girls in the second middle school opposite often come in groups to pick it up, and I can sell several couplets a day." ”

"Is there any man coming to buy it?"

"Occasionally, boys come over to buy and give to girls, but rarely."

"Have you ever bought it from a student?"

The female shopkeeper's eyes rolled upward: "Probably not." ”

"Okay, thank you." After Chen Nian finished speaking, he wanted to leave.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly spoke: "I remember, a man came the day before yesterday, and after looking for a long time and saying that there was no color he wanted, he left." ”

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

"I didn't pay much attention at the time, but the man's eyes were fierce."

"Sister, do you have surveillance in this store?"

"Yes."

"It all started six years ago."

With this as the opening remark, Chen began to analyze the case for the brothers in the serious crime team: "Lin Yang graduated from a secondary school, and when she was in secondary school, she had a suitor named Liu Yan. Liu Yan is a gangster outside the school and often comes to the school to harass Lin Yang. Lin Yang didn't like Liu Yan at first, but this Liu Yan was quite persistent and romantic, he once courted Lin Yang on the street with a plastic ring. ”

"I'll go, is this guy sick in the brain?" Gao Fang suddenly interjected.

"It's sick." Chen Nian continued, "But incredibly, Lin Yang actually agreed. Lin Yang has a hobby of collecting accessories. Liu Yan's behavior can be regarded as favoritous, and people have also put a lot of thought into it. ”

"And then?" Gao Fang was a little curious.

Later, due to the strong opposition of Lin Yang's family, Lin Yang still separated from Liu Yan. After Lin Yang graduated and joined the work, he was introduced to his current boyfriend, Li Xingwei of the taxi company. ”

"But," Fang Jinyu took it and said, "this Liu Yan has not stopped harassing Lin Yang, every year on Lin Yang's birthday, he will write a love letter to Lin Yang, and he will put a plastic ring in the envelope." By the way, Lin Yang's birthday will be in two days. ”

"Grandma is a bear, this kid is quite good at playing!" Da Zhou muttered.

Ding Xiaobai let out a "tsk! sighed, and then said to Gao Fang: "Fangzi, you also learn from others, you know why you have been single, right?" ”

Gao Fang raised his hand to hit Ding Xiaobai. Chen Nian knocked on the table and motioned for everyone to look at the big screen: "This person is Liu Yan." "It's the kid who went to the door of No. 2 Middle School to buy jewelry.

Chen Nian and Fang Jinyu retrieved the surveillance video from the stationery store, in which the man deliberately avoided the camera until he went out to capture a side face.

After screening, the police locked up Liu Yan, an unemployed homeless person who lives in the city.

"Interrogate Liu Yan." Aged rhetoric is decisive.

Liu Yan is really a second-rate person. In the interrogation room, in the face of Da Zhou and Fang Jinyu's questioning, his first sentence was: "Officer, your hair is so sexy." ”

Da Zhou slapped the table: "Liu Yan, you give me honesty." ”

Fang Jinyu was not surprised, and began to interrogate calmly.

"Name?"

"What's the matter, beauty, is it interesting to me?"

"Name?"

"Don't you already know?"

"Name?" Fang Jinyu is always not in a hurry or impatient.

Liu Yan felt bored, so he had to reply: "Liu Yan." ”

"Age?"

“26。”

"Occupation?"

"Unemployed."

"Address?"

"Building 32 of Wennan Community."

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know Lin Yang?"

"I don't know."

"Let's talk about it when we think it through!"

"Acquaintance, acquaintance before, but haven't been in touch for years."

"Where have you been at 3 p.m. on Nov. 27?" Big Week starts to get straight to the point.

"I'm at home!" Liu Yan said, "I drank too much the day and slept until 5 p.m. the next day. ”

"Liu Yan!" Da Zhou threw the photo taken from the surveillance video on the table: "Look at what this is?" ”

Liu Yan glanced at the photo, pretending to be calm and said: "Oh, maybe I'm wrong, it should be that I drank too much on the 27th, and slept at home for a day on the 28th, yes, on the 28th, my mother is also at home, she can testify......"

"Then you admit that the 27th went to the stationery store?"

"Been there, what's wrong?"

"Then you dare to say that Lin Yang's death has nothing to do with you?"

"What?" Liu Yan was suddenly stunned, "Officer, you mean...... Lin Yang...... He's dead? ”

Fang Jinyu nodded.

Liu Yan wiped his tears for a while, looked up and asked, "How did she die?" ”

Fang Jinyu explained the basic situation of Lin Yang's case. Liu Yan also took the initiative to state the purpose and process of going to the stationery store.

"Since you don't have any secret secrets, why are you hiding in a stationery store?" Da Zhou asked.

Liu Yan replied with a bitter face: "Such an adult still does such a childish thing, I'm not afraid of other people's jokes!" ”

Outside the interrogation room, Chen Nian whispered to Gao Fang and Ding Xiaobai standing on the left and right through the one-way perspective glass:

"It's not him."
