Chapter 54: Serendipity
Up to now, more than a month has passed since Zhang Jingya's case, and there are still only a handful of clues on the police's side, although this case is only a suicide case on the surface, but because of the help of the other two cases, the police have been convinced that this case is not as simple as it seems.
Even if it is a suicide case, there may be all kinds of possibilities behind it, suicide is only the result of the whole case, and it is not the final duty of the police to characterize a case.
This is what Wei Zhongwen once said, and until now, Chen Xi still remembers it clearly.
When Chen Xi first joined the police force, he followed Wei Zhongwen, and for her, Wei Zhongwen was like a big brother, always taking care of her and teaching her all kinds of knowledge that she couldn't learn in school. Therefore, Chen Xi has always been grateful to Wei Zhongwen.
But as time passed, she gradually found that this gratitude was transforming into another feeling, a feeling that even she herself couldn't explain.
At first, Chen Xi wasn't sure what this feeling was, she just felt that she cared more and more about Wei Zhongwen, this feeling was very subtle, which made her, who had never been in love, a little flustered.
But even so, she still didn't dare to be sure of anything, after all, in Wei Zhongwen's eyes, she was just like a little apprentice, how could something happen to the master and the apprentice?
The most may be the deep love between master and apprentice, and the degree of cooperation in work is getting higher and higher.
Although Wei Zhongwen is an approachable person, it is limited to the workplace, she knows the other party's temper very well, and when doing other things, she does not dare to provoke this "master".
Although she has always had love in her heart, Chen Xi has never wanted to speak, because she knows that even if she opens her mouth, nothing will come of it.
In the past few years, Chen Xi has been by Wei Zhongwen's side, and has also witnessed many women's overtures, but no matter who it is, Wei Zhongwen has always turned a blind eye and never accepted it.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt a little relieved in her heart, if Wei Zhongwen really accepted other people, how would she feel?
But what if Wei Zhongwen has never accepted women?
I don't know when this thought has been buried in Chen Xi's mind, no matter how she drives it away, it lingers, as if it is deeply rooted in her mind.
But in the past month, Chen Xi has noticed the changes in Wei Zhongwen, and he has changed from being indifferent at the beginning to being extremely enthusiastic now. Of course, the object of Wei Zhongwen's enthusiasm is not Chen Xi, but another woman, Tang Yuran.
Wei Zhongwen once said that his care for the other party is only because the other party is the client of the case, and he can't let her safety be lost at all.
But even so, Chen Xi is still very concerned about this matter, this feeling is very strange, she knows that she shouldn't have any abnormal thoughts, but every time she sees Wei Zhongwen caring about Tang Yuran, her heart is very uncomfortable.
This feeling made Chen Xi uncomfortable.
And just when Chen Xi was distressed by this question, a person who didn't understand the amorous situation came to her.
"This is the autopsy report that Wei Zhongwen wanted. Photocopy. The other party said, and deliberately emphasized the three words "photocopy" at the back. "After reading it, remember to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and don't let others catch any tricks."
"Stone, stone forensics." Hearing the other party's cold words, Chen Xi came back to his senses from his previous memories. "Okay, I'm sorry for you." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he hurriedly finished the materials and did not forget to thank him.
"It's fine." After Shi Lei finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he hesitated for a while, and still asked, "Are you okay, your face looks bad." ”
"I..." Listening to the other party's concerned question, Chen Xi suddenly didn't know how to answer. In the entire police station, Shi Lei has the best relationship with Wei Zhongwen, and Shi Lei is the one who knows Wei Zhongwen best. Chen Xi couldn't help but draw a big question mark in his heart.
But the matter has come to this, Chen Xi has no other way, except for Shi Lei, she has no one else to ask, so Chen Xi's heart is down, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and finally mustered up the courage and said: "Shi Forensic Doctor, actually, there is something, I want to consult you." ”
"Consulting? What's up. "I don't know why, Shi Lei's temper is exceptionally good today, and his patience has doubled than usual, even when Chen Xi asked him to take the autopsy report just now, Shi Lei agreed without hesitation, if this is normal, it will definitely not go so smoothly.
This is a good opportunity for Chen Xi.
"I've heard them say that you're old friends with Team Wei, aren't you?" Chen Xi asked tentatively.
"Team Wei? You mean Wei Zhongwen, that's right, we've known each other for a long time, but he has already left the police force, and you still call him that, which really makes me a little uncomfortable, I guess you are the only one in the whole team who says so. ”
"I'm just used to it, and I don't want to change my words." Chen Xi said as if explaining.
"Hmm." After listening to Chen Xi's words, Shi Lei didn't say anything, but responded lightly.
And this tepid answer made Chen Xi a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't figure out what the other party really meant.
But even so, Chen Xi still didn't want to back down, she mustered up her courage and continued to ask: "Forensic Doctor Shi, since you have known the captain for so many years, then I want to ask you a personal question. It is... Captain: Has he ever had a girlfriend before? ”
"The question... It's private enough, but how could you be interested in this question. If you still think of him as your leader, it doesn't seem like you should do to ask about the leader's privacy. ”
"I..." The other party's words frightened Chen Xi not knowing how to speak, so he had to tremble and say: "I, I don't want to inquire about anything, it's just... It's just curiosity. ”
"Look scare you, I'm just kidding you."
After listening to the other party's words, Chen Xi noticed that the other party was indeed waiting to see the joke at this time.
It seems that Shi Lei is indeed in a good mood today, thinking of this, Chen Xi's courage suddenly increased, and he repeated the question just now: "Forensic Doctor Shi, Team Wei should have been in love before, right?" This time, however, Chen Xi asked a different way.
"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. That's right, Zhong Wen did have a relationship before, and it lasted a long time. ”
"It turns out that this is what it looks like..."Hearing the other party's answer, Chen Xi's heart couldn't help but feel a little more lost, it turned out that Wei Zhongwen didn't dislike girls, but in his eyes, he couldn't pay attention to other girls.
"So how did they break up later? Team Wei is so good. Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
"I think they don't want to break up if they can, but providence has made people, and an accident has ended the fate of these two people."
"W-What do you mean?" The other party's tone suddenly became serious, and Chen Xi couldn't help but have a bad premonition as he listened.
"The two of them met in college, and they were both students at the police academy. Their relationship has always been quite good, and at the beginning of their freshman year, they talked about their senior year. ”
"And then?" Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Later, when he was about to graduate, Zhong Wen's girlfriend was transferred to the task in advance because of her outstanding performance in all aspects."
"Task? Is it undercover work, I have heard other colleagues talk about this before. ”
"That's right, these are all true, because they are excellent, they were transferred to perform tasks in advance, and most of this kind of work is to be undercover, just because there was no record at that time, and the face was relatively new, even if they went to perform some highly secretive tasks, it would be relatively safe."
"Well, what happened then?" Chen Xi asked hurriedly, she was eager to know how things were going.
"Later, unfortunately, in a hunt activity, she unfortunately died, and just like that, Zhong Wen and his girlfriend's five-year relationship came to an end."
"It turned out to be like this, I have never heard Team Wei mention this matter..."Hearing this, Chen Xi's heart was very uncomfortable. No wonder he turned a blind eye to the pursuit of other women, it turned out that he was unwilling to accept other people because he had been emotionally hurt.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little lost, and she even felt that she never had a chance again. But suddenly, she thought about it, and thought of Wei Zhongwen's kindness to Tang Yuran, and her heart became complicated again.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this, is there something wrong?" Shi Lei asked.
"I... Forensic Doctor Shi, I don't know if I should tell you or not. Actually, I've known the captain for several years, and during this time, there have been many women who have taken the initiative to pursue the captain, but he has ignored them, so I wonder if he has ever talked about a girlfriend before. ”
"Well, but how did you remember to ask this question today?" Shi Lei immediately grasped the point of the matter and asked.
"Well... Then I'll tell you the truth, in fact, the captain has been very close to someone recently, and I wonder if the captain will be interesting to her. ”
"Really? That's rare, as far as I know, Zhong Wen does turn away all women, and according to you, I'm really curious about who this person is. Shi Lei said, and couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always have this strange feeling..."
"Sometimes women's directness is still very accurate, who is that person you just mentioned?"
"It's a customer of Team Wei, named Tang Yuran." Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, but she still spoke, but she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell Shi Lei about it.
