Chapter 042: Ask for help
This answer seemed to Zhou Jian to be completely perfunctory, but it was not bad, today she took the initiative to invite him to dinner, and there was still progress compared to before.
The car drove to Jixiangju, the antique building, including the dining utensils are a little antique, and the waiter's uniform is also Hanfu, which looks pleasing to the eye, and feels very comfortable as soon as you walk in.
Zhou Jian is obviously a frequent visitor here, and when the person at the door saw that Zhou Jian was coming, he led the two of them up to the second floor.
Normal diners generally eat in the hall, and because of the booming business, they often need to wait for a seat, and Xiao Xuanran rarely comes, so she has never come to the private room upstairs. The private room upstairs is the same antique, because the back of the building is against the river, but because the weather is hot now, the air conditioning needs to be turned on, so the windows along the river are not opened.
Zhou Jian sat down, and the waiter delivered the menu to him, he glanced at Xiao Xuanran, and then pushed the menu to her hand.
Xiao Xuanran smiled, "You order, I don't have any taboos." After speaking, he pushed the menu to Zhou Jian's hand again.
Zhou Jian was very familiar with this place, he casually ordered a few dishes, and asked the waiter to go out. He looked at the absent-minded woman sitting across from him, and he felt that it was not easy for this woman to invite him to dinner.
The speed of serving here is also very fast, and the food ordered soon was served, Zhou Jian ate slowly, looked at the woman sitting opposite him, who didn't move the chopsticks much, and said, "You shouldn't just want to invite me to dinner today." ”
Xiao Xuanran was still a little embarrassed that her mind was guessed by Zhou Jian so quickly, but she had nothing else to do now, she could only bite the bullet and say, "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
Zhou Jian was still very happy about this matter, after all, this woman encountered something and thought of herself, but she still made him a little unhappy with the excuse of inviting him to dinner, "What's the matter?" His tone was cold, without a hint of emotion.
Xiao Xuanran was also a little stunned, obviously the man with a gentle expression just now suddenly became like this, I don't know if she was angry, but now that she has spoken, she still decided to continue, "I have a friend who has an accident and wants to ask you for help." ”
Zhou Jian raised his eyebrows, "It's Ouyang Qing." ”
Xiao Xuanran looked at Zhou Jian, "How do you know?" Do you know something? ”
"I don't know anything, I guess, she hasn't been to work for two days." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Xuanran, "What happened to her?" ”
"Charged with intentional homicide, I'm sure she won't, but I can't see her now, I want to know what the hell is going on, so I can help her."
"You just believe in her like that? Do you know her? ”
"Of course I believe her, I've known her since I was fourteen, and we've been together for so many years."
It seems that she really understands, she just wants to see Ouyang Qing, this matter is still easy to do, Zhou Jian put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the woman who didn't have the heart to eat, he stood up, walked to Xiao Xuanran's side, pulled her up, and walked outside.
Xiao Xuanran was pulled out by Zhou Jian, before she could react to what this man wanted to do, she was already pulled into the car by this man, she watched Zhou Jian start the car, Xiao Xuanran said: "You just pulled me away?" Eating a bully meal? ”
Zhou Jian smiled, what was this woman thinking, was he Zhou Jian the one who ate the overlord meal? "I've already paid for it."
"And where are you taking me?"
"You don't want to see Ouyang Qing? I'll take you to her. ”
Xiao Xuanran never thought that she could see Ouyang Qing so quickly, she looked at Ouyang Qing sitting opposite her, she was no longer as youthful and energetic as in the past, the whole person looked lifeless, without a trace of vitality, her hair was a little messy, and the clothes on her body were also very dirty, when did Ouyang Qing in her impression ever be like this, looking at Ouyang Qing in front of her, Xiao Xuanran's tears fell uncontrollably.
It was Ouyang Qing who comforted Xiao Xuanran first, "Don't cry, I'm fine."
Xiao Xuanran immediately stopped crying, she remembered the most important thing to see Ouyang Qing this time, she looked at Ouyang Qing and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ”
Ouyang Qing smiled casually, "Don't get involved in this matter, just take good care of yourself." ”
Seeing that Ouyang Qing was reluctant to speak, Xiao Xuanran's tears fell uncontrollably like beads with broken threads for a while, "I beg you to tell me, okay?" How can you go to prison for homicide when you're so young? ”
"It's okay, Xuanxuan, you don't have to get involved in this matter, I'll be fine, don't worry about me, you take care of yourself." After speaking, he signaled to the policeman behind him that he had finished speaking.
Xiao Xuanran looked at the back of Ouyang Qing leaving, crying uncontrollably, their friendship for so many years, in their hearts for each other, they have long been like relatives.
Zhou Jian saw that Xiao Xuanran was crying and couldn't come out of it himself, and he was also very distressed to see it, he walked over and hugged Xiao Xuanran gently, "Okay, don't cry." His hand patted her on the back, trying to soothe her.
Xiao Xuanran grabbed Zhou Jian's hand and said with a crying voice: "Can you help me again, I want to know what happened?" ”
Xiao Xuanran is like this, it is impossible for him not to agree, "Okay, then don't cry now, I'll help you." Hearing Zhou Jian's words, Xiao Xuanran stopped crying slightly.
Xia Shang, the director of the Police Supervision Department of Cangnan City, was a subordinate of his father Zhou Huadong before, and he wanted to sell this face to him, thinking about it, Zhou Jian helped Xiao Xuanran to sit down on the side, "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." After saying that, he went to Xia Shang's office.
Xia Shang was still very surprised by the sudden visit of his old chief's son, after all, he got up and made tea for Zhou Jian, and said, "Why did you come to me?" ”
Zhou Jian smiled, "Uncle Xia, can't I come to see you if I'm fine?" ”
Xia Shang smiled, this kid is treacherous and whatever, will he suddenly come to see him if he is fine? He didn't believe it. But he was still smiling, after all, he was a junior, "Say, what's the matter with coming to Uncle Xia?" ”
Since he said so, Zhou Jian didn't hide it anymore, "I have a friend, one of her friends has something happened and came to you, I want to come and ask about the situation." ”
"Alas, I thought it was just such a trivial matter, and you still had a trip, but what kind of friend are you so concerned about?"
"It's a girlfriend."
Xia Shang's old face wrinkled with a smile, "You are not too young, it is time to have a girlfriend, since it is your girlfriend, then I will definitely help you solve this matter." Say, what's your name, what did you do? ”
"Ouyang Qing, accused of intentional homicide."
Hearing this name, the smile on Xia Shang's face froze suddenly, how unfamiliar to him with this name, this case is even more bizarre, the key is that the above asked the case to be closed quickly, so it was obviously deliberately framed.
Zhou Jian also noticed Xia Shang's sudden change in complexion, so he immediately asked, "Is there anything difficult about this case?" ”
Xia Shang sighed and said: "You are not an outsider, and I won't go around the bend with you, this case was deliberately framed by someone, the causes and consequences of this case are very far-fetched, and the evidence is insufficient, but the above is urging me to close the case quickly, and I can't help it." ”
Topmost? That is Xu Wu. Zhou Jian said: "Then you can tell me about the causes and consequences of this case." ”
That's what it can say. "At that time, when we received a report and our people rushed over, Ouyang Qing was in a trance, she was indeed holding a knife in her hand, covered in blood, and the man lying next to her was dead, so we brought her back." Xia Shang paused and continued: "It's strange to say, before, how did our people ask her, she said that she didn't kill, she didn't kill people, but there was a woman who said that she was her mother, and after coming to see her, she admitted everything, of course we know that there is something greasy in this, but I can't help the above words." ”
Her mother? "Is it Ouyang Zhanyi's current wife, Wang Qingyun?" There are only so many people in this circle, Ouyang Zhanyi Xia Shang knows him, and his wife Wang Qingyun is also a person who is often active in the circle, so Xia Shang should also know him.
Xia Shang nodded, "Yes." ”
Zhou Jian also understood Xia Shang's current predicament, and he didn't plan to say more, "Okay, I know, Uncle Xia, I'll leave first." ”
Zhou Jian originally thought that this was just a simple case, but at first, it seemed a little complicated, and Zhou Jian was originally a person who didn't like trouble, but the matter in front of him was obviously beyond his expectations. He walked to Xiao Xuanran's side, "Let's go." ”
Xiao Xuanran didn't know what the situation was now, so she had to follow Zhou Jian out now.
After getting into the car, Xiao Xuanran glanced at the expressionless Zhou Jian and asked, "Did you ask clearly?" ”
Zhou Jian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xuanran and nodded.
Xiao Xuanran hurriedly said, "Then tell me what's going on?" ”
Zhou Jian started the car and said to Xiao Xuanran: "You should know that Ouyang Qing's father is Ouyang Zhanyi, right?" ”
Xiao Xuanran nodded, could this matter have something to do with him?
"This matter was done by her stepmother, this matter is very troublesome, and besides, you had better not continue to be busy with this matter, if you spoil Wang Qingyun's affairs, you will die a miserable death, this woman's hands are more ruthless than men."
Xiao Xuanran looked at Zhou Jian, he didn't have a position to speak for Wang Qingyun, so what should I do about this matter?
