Chapter 22: Regret
Soon, the loud siren reached my ears, Yan Qing naturally opened the door, and then stood motionless at the door, I looked at his back, which was a little different from the back I saw in the park before, and was more relaxed than before, maybe Meng Ran's matter had made him let go of the hatred in his heart after it was over.
My sister rushed upstairs and handcuffed him neatly, and before going out, Yan Qing turned his back to me and said, "Brother, can you do me a favor, I have always wanted to say sorry to Meng Ran, can you replace me?" ”
I let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "I will." ”
He calmly followed the policeman down the stairs and laughed at the same time, and I could feel the tears in the laughter, which gradually dissipated in the hallway as he walked farther and farther away.
I watched my sister walk towards me, her face was filled with a faint joy, and she said, "That's right, I found the murderer before us, Team Chen said, I owe you a favor." ”
"Is this really going to be good?" I asked heavily, "He's just for Meng Ran, he doesn't actually have to kill anyone, if someone listened to him at the beginning, go and investigate Meng Ran's matter." ”
"In crime, there is never a perfect ending." My sister put her arm around my shoulder and said meaningfully, "When a crime appears, it means that it must be a tragedy, no matter what the purpose is, there are people crying for it, what we have to do is to let those who cry not shed tears in vain, and you have done nothing wrong, don't be so guilty, face to face with Yan Qing just now, did he have any impulses?" ”
"Impulsive? He's calmer than me, maybe after he saw the news yesterday, he understood that everything was over, and he said in the park that if he solved this matter, he would give me a reward, and I think this meeting is the best reward. ”
"Since you have this brain, do you want to reconsider it and try to get a police academy? If you play well, you have a chance to be admitted exceptionally. ”
"I don't have that IQ, and of course I don't like that kind of life, I prefer the freedom of being alone." I said with a smile.
Before leaving, I took An Lan's diary with me, and under the instructions of my sister, I asked a police officer to return the diary to An Lan's parents, and then followed my sister back to the police station, I saw Tong Lei and Gu Yan standing at the door, this matter came to an end It was also a complete relief for them, I simply said hello and didn't stay long, because I really didn't know how to talk to them about the situation, before solving the case, I was inspired to seek justice for Meng Ran, but now, I really found out that there were some crimes, When I revisit it at the end, it will be easy to understand what kind of mentality the murderer looked at everything during the whole process, here, I can feel Yan Qing's guilt that has been pressed in his heart, he just looks ordinary on the surface, but the pain in his heart is heavier than everyone.
Team Chen personally interrogated Yan Qing in the interrogation room, I watched Yan Qing calmly answer every word outside, sat on the side depressed in my heart, didn't think about anything, just looked at the people who passed by, and waited until the end of the interrogation, Team Chen couldn't wait to have a dinner to celebrate, my sister persuaded me for a long time, I really had to agree together.
At the dinner table, Team Chen said that he was toasting to everyone's efforts, I raised my drink and clinked glasses with everyone, in fact, even if I didn't tell my sister before, my sister and they basically determined that Yan Qing was the murderer, because they found a lot of pictures of Yan Qing and An Lan talking together in the surveillance around An Lan's house, that is, the situation when Yan Qing met An Lan before, so sooner or later they will find out that Yan Qing is the murderer, of course, Team Chen still specially praised me, and my sister reminded me next to me: " Don't thank Team Chen, don't be so restrained. ”
"Don't praise me, Uncle Chen, I don't know how to thank you for supporting me so much to participate in the investigation."
"If you can solve this case, it is already the best answer, it seems that there will be a case in the future, and we may have to ask you for help, haha." Team Chen said jokingly.
"If there is a case in the future, can I continue to participate in this way?"
"No problem, I'll give it." Team Chen said happily, "Why are you depressed all afternoon, aren't you happy to solve the case?" ”
"No, it's just that I found out that the whole case was actually such a process, which is a little unacceptable, and the attitude when Yan Qing asked me for help before, I really feel sorry for him in my heart, regret."
"Your sister didn't bring you some chicken soup? The cases are like this, when I have time, I will tell you a case that I handled in the past, and I am the same as you after solving the case, it's good to get used to it, the world will not accommodate good people, but it will not cover up bad people, and when you experience more things like this, it will change, of course, I don't want this world to have so many crimes, it's really tiring. ”
"Anyway, I realized it this time, everyone who goes astray may have a hard time, seeing Yan Qing's eyes, I really... I can't go on.
"Hey, don't have feelings for a murderer." My sister teased, "He made a big mistake after all, it's unnecessary." ”
"At least, I want to help him fulfill his wish, that is his eternal regret."
"Feel free, it's Sunday anyway, and it's not my shift, I'm going to take a good rest." My sister stretched and said.
"Let's take a break tomorrow, I'll take a shift, everyone has been working so hard these days, it's rare to have a break."
In the midst of laughter, I raised my glass again with everyone. It was already eleven o'clock when I got home at night, my sister was a little drunk, and she was a little unsteady when she walked, so I helped her downstairs, because there was a problem with the elevator in the community, in order to facilitate going upstairs, she was directly carried up, and she went up to the eighth floor like this, perhaps because of the lack of exercise, I was already walking on the third floor, of course, carrying a person upstairs was very physically draining.
"Are you tired? Don't carry it, I can walk on my own. My sister comforted.
"I'm a man, carrying a woman upstairs on my back, it's nothing." I gasped.
"Hmph, I learned this sentence from me, and I said something similar when I was a child."
I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I was running around with my friends outside, and my sister carried me up after I didn't have the strength to go upstairs, although the floor was not high at that time, but my sister was very thin, and said that as my sister, it was nothing to carry my brother upstairs. It turned out that my sister at that time was also so stubborn, no matter how tired she was, she refused to put it down, and just wanted to have a sister in front of me.
"Okay, don't be so stubborn, I can go by myself." My sister said with a smile.
At that moment, I felt as if a drop of water was falling on my back, but I still didn't put it down, gritted my teeth and insisted on climbing the stairs, and my sister's hand was clenched tighter.
Finally returned home, there was a thin wheezing sound from my back, I could climb a staircase until my sister fell asleep, it turned out that my physique was so bad, it seems that I will strengthen my exercise in the future. I gently placed my sister on the bed, turned on the air conditioner, and closed the door.
"Wow!" I sat on the floor of the living room, telling myself that it was time to look forward, that this was over. The heavy precipitation of the depression for a long time also slowly disappeared in the memory, I found a record book, recorded the experience of this case, maybe in the future life to look back on the current events, and there will be many different feelings.
After a comfortable night's sleep, I got up early, my sister in the house was still sleeping so deeply, I didn't wake her up, but prepared some simple breakfast and put it on the table, I grew so big, the first time I prepared breakfast for my sister, my heart was full of expectations, I don't know what my sister would say.
Because I didn't know what to do, I came to the police station, and at this time there was no longer the busyness of the past, and many police officers cherished this rest day. When I came to the office, I saw Team Chen flipping through the past case files on the table, and Team Chen was also accustomed to my arrival, and asked, "Is your sister okay Yesterday, she didn't see that she drank much, but her alcohol consumption was very poor, and no one persuaded her to drink so actively." ”
"It's not like you're constantly raising a glass to the rhythm." I laughed, "It's okay, my sister was still sleeping very dead when I came out, is it like this for drunk people?" ”
"Almost, why don't you have a good time one day and experience what it's like to be drunk?"
"No, I'm not interested in alcohol at all."
As I was talking, I also picked up a case file from the table, which recorded a robbery and murder case that happened in a village twenty years ago, Chen Team raised his head and said with a wry smile: "The technology at that time was not as good as it is now, and the case happened very suddenly, and there were no clues at the scene except for the escape route of the murderer." ”
"Improvised?"
"That's what the old police officer said at the beginning, because it happened at night, and the victim was walking alone at night, and there was no one around, so there was a high possibility of improvisation."
"The fatal injury should be a wrist cut that caused excessive blood loss, and from the direction of the wound, it seems that it was accidentally cut, and the victim resisted at that time."
"Yes, some footprints were found on the ground, but they were incomplete, and the information of the footprints could not be extracted, and the current technology was difficult according to the photos, and the murderer was very likely to be a foreigner, because the escape route was along the crops, and the road to the county seat next to it was not selected, and there was no monitoring at that time, indicating that the murderer should be unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, but there were no clues after following the murderer's route to a forest, and the road behind the woods could go to many villages and counties, This means that if a fish successfully swims into the sea, it is almost impossible to find him. ”
"As a result, this case has been put aside for 20 years, and I don't know how the victim's family is doing."
"There's no way, although the situation at that time can't be compared with now, but now it can't replicate the situation back then, after all, the location of the crime is completely different now, and it's still difficult to rely on the clues here."
"By the way, Uncle Chen, didn't you say yesterday that you would tell me about a case you experienced at that time, which made you feel very deeply, and now you have time, tell me about it." I put the case file down and found a chair to sit in front of Team Chen.
Team Chen looked at me with a light look in his eyes and said, "It seems that you are very interested, so I will tell you about this case that shocked me." ”
I sat in my chair curiously and listened attentively to Team Chen's story.
