Chapter 11: A Pale Face

The mighty Wujiang River, the noisy and annoying crowd, a miserable white and bloodless face.

This is a beautiful and flawless face, and between her eyebrows, you can see that she was helpless and hesitant before her death.

The sun shone on her face, and her wet hair gradually dried, but it couldn't warm her already cold body.

It was a bad morning.

No one was running, walking dogs, or singing and dancing by the river.

There was only a group of policemen, a group of reporters, a group of onlookers, a group of people pointing fingers.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Yijie came to the deceased's side, looked at her, and was serious repeatedly. After a long time, there was only one sigh!

"Carry it away, find a cloth and cover her!" Xiang Yunfei waved his hand and patted Zhang Yijie's shoulder.

"What do you think?" Xiang Yunfei asked.

"Drowned!" Zhang Yijie replied simply.

"I ask, drowned by someone, or drowned by yourself!"

"It's all possible!"

"Huh?"

"It's possible that someone pressed her in the water, drowned her, and then threw her body into the river. It's also possible that someone forced her to jump into the water and she drowned herself! ”

"You mean, not suicide?"

"Isn't that obvious? I don't need to be tested by the Xiang Bureau! Zhang Yijie smiled bitterly, "The four deceased, all drowned, and they were all in the same place, all of them were women, and they were all very beautiful, said suicide, do you believe it?" ”

"Then you say, in which direction to check?" Xiang Yunfei continued to ask.

"One, her body is not half swollen, and the time of death should not be long, I think, about four o'clock in the morning last night, arrange some colleagues to visit the surrounding residents and boats one by one, to see if there are any witnesses or suspicious characters during this time period!"

Zhang Yijie thought for a while and continued: "Second, if my guess is right, this deceased should also work at Jindu International, such an important clue, of course, I have to investigate!" Aren't they still open? Just right, I'm going for a walk at night! ”

"Didn't I tell you? The relevant people there have checked, but they have not found any useful clues! ”

"The more this happens, the more I have to go, no one will die for no reason, and four people will die in a row!" Zhang Yijie said in a deep voice, "You can't investigate it clearly, then I'll make an unannounced visit, I don't believe such a big thing, I can't find out anything!" Anyway, I just arrived, and few people know me! ”

"The three deceased had very few interpersonal relationships, and we also interrogated them, but nothing came out." Xiang Yunfei frowned and said, "Many times, in the face of danger, people will choose to protect themselves, and you may not be able to find out anything!" ”

"It's man-made!" Zhang Yijie said firmly, "Between right and kind, I believe that some people will choose kindness!" ”

"Alright! Go back to the bureau first, find out the identity of the deceased, and notify her family to come here! Xiang Yunfei glanced at him deeply, "It's time for me to reconsider, your job!" ”

"You can do it, I want to walk by the river!"

"You're not going back with me?" Xiang Yunfei didn't know why.

"No, I'm in a panic, it doesn't matter what position you have, the important thing is to solve the case and give an explanation to the deceased and the family of the deceased!" Zhang Yijie said gloomily.

"Captain of the criminal investigation detachment, you are fully responsible for this series of cases, what do you think?"

"Ugh!" Zhang Yijie was a little stunned, not long ago, this person still had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, how could he turn so fast.

After a while, Zhang Yijie spoke: "You have the final say!" ”

……

The river breeze is slow, carrying thousands of sorrows, from east to west.

The corpse faded away.

In an instant, along both sides of the river, it was lively again. Someone is running, someone is walking the dog, someone is singing and dancing.

From south to north, Zhang Yijie went up the river, and followed suit.

He couldn't hear the running footsteps, the dogs barking, the crowd dancing and singing.

Although the voices were not far from him, he could not hear them.

All he could think of was that pale face.

When the wind blew, he suddenly felt a little cold, and when he looked sideways, what he saw was the numb and indifferent faces in the crowd.

They are singing, singing about a harmonious society, singing about the great rivers and mountains, and singing about the rapid development of the economy.

He suddenly felt that the pale face in his mind was extremely vivid compared to this.

Although, her body is already cold.

The laughter and laughter that surrounded his ears, at this moment, he suddenly felt very harsh.

Irritable in his heart, he quickened his pace.

Coming to a park is like stepping into another world.

Here, it's quiet.

Some people are reading books, some people are doing tai chi, some people are sitting on a bench with their eyes closed.

Zhang Yijie walked slowly.

"Sir, seeing that you are full of sorrow, do you need me to calculate a hexagram for you?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yijie paused, and looked sideways, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You're not blind?"

"Haha!" The middle-aged man laughed, "Yesterday evening, someone asked the same question!" Sir, people with sunglasses don't have to be blind! ”

"You're not a beggar either?" Zhang Yijie frowned and looked at a bowl in front of the middle-aged man.

"No, I'm a part-time fortune teller! Earn some extra money! The middle-aged man paused, "You are very similar to the person I met yesterday, but he is much more fierce than you, that person, very cold, like crawling out of hell, scares my old man!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yijie raised his eyebrows, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"Don't say it!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, "You came from downstream, and this morning, there was a murder case there, look at your appearance, you are brave and brave, you are a public security!" But that man's plan has nothing to do with these murders, and he is not the object of your suspicion! ”

"You are so powerful, you can see at a glance that I am a public security officer." Zhang Yijie looked at him deeply, "The person you said, since he is so fierce, I suspect that it is normal!" ”

"He's the same as you, just here, and he's not suspected of committing a crime!"

"Oh? How do you know he's just arrived? ”

"Who would be wandering around the streets with a duffel bag when he didn't just come, he didn't look like a homeless man on the street!"

"You've just come downstream, right? See me at the scene, deliberately wait for me here! Zhang Yijie's eyes sharpened, "Say, who are you!" ”

"Hey! Since it's not a hexagram, then I'll go! The middle-aged man picked up the bowl, "That female corpse is the case I reported!" ”

"Who the hell are you!" Zhang Yijie said word by word.

"You're a police officer, don't you know if you go and check!" The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Yijie, "Since you don't want to tell the hexagram and don't want to arrest me, I'm leaving!" ”

"You ......"

Zhang Yijie looked at the middle-aged man and sighed.

He had no reason to arrest him, and more importantly, since this person deliberately waited for him, he must have a purpose.

He didn't want to push too hard for a while.

"Forget it, go back to the bureau first, and say hello to your new colleagues!"

Zhang Yijie laughed at himself and headed east.

……

Going down the river, the middle-aged man hummed the Yue song, leisurely.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, he hit a strong chest like he had hit a mountain.

He only felt that his head was buzzing and he took a few steps back.

When he raised his eyes, a young man with a tiger's back was looking at him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm old, and my eyes are not good!"

As he spoke, he prepared to walk around the youth's side.

"Huh!"

The young man took a sideways step, blocking his way.

"What are you doing, young man?" The middle-aged man wondered.

"Old fellow, I've finally found you! Hey! ”
