Chu Chan and the detectives of the Serious Crime Team returned empty-handed again.

As soon as she entered the gate of the police station, she listlessly followed everyone to her office.

"Chu Chan!" The policewoman on duty in the hall called out to her.

"Is there something wrong with calling me?" Chu Chan responded weakly.

"Someone just came looking for you, it seems that something is wrong. But I didn't ask what he was looking for you for. The policewoman added, "It's a man, and he's quite fierce." ”

Chu Chan turned her head, which was already a mess, and she really didn't remember which person she knew was fierce.

"It's okay, if he comes back next time, you can call me."

The policewoman nodded and said she understood.

Chu Chan turned around to leave, and heard someone calling her again.

"Xiaochan, wait for me!"

She looked back irritably, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The person who called her was Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao got off the rickshaw, paid the master, and carried her things to the police station.

Unexpectedly, the person she was looking for happened to be in the hall.

Zhang Jiao walked quickly to Chu Chan's side and stuffed all the bags in her hand to her.

"I'm tired, take it yourself. My aunt asked me to bring this to you. She pointed to the bag Chu Chan was holding in her left hand, and then to the brown paper bag on her right hand.

"This is the bread in my shop, you can take it and share it with your colleagues."

Chu Chan weighed the weight of the paper bag and said in surprise: "Your store is not doing well today?" Why did you send me so much? ”

Zhang Jiao was angry, "Do I usually pick like that?" ”

Chu Chan nodded casually, and Zhang Jiao glared at her angrily.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. It's hard work, I'm almost hungry, and I'm just using these bread pads to pad my stomach. ”

She gave the lighter bag to Zhang Jiao, "You help me get it, I'm so tired, I haven't slept much in the past few days." Look at my dark circles. ”

Chu Chan stretched out her face in front of Zhang Jiao's eyes, and motioned to her to take a closer look.

"It's so miserable!" Zhang Jiao found her decadent appearance at first sight when she saw her, and knew that she stayed up late again, and once again sighed that the police are really a hard and respectable job.

"Let's go. Can I have time to rest after eating? ”

Chu Chan shook her head and sighed, "Probably not, I guess there will be a meeting later." ”

She took Zhang Jiao to the lounge next to the office and put the brown paper bag on the table.

"You sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water, and by the way, call everyone to eat together."

Zhang Jiao waved her hand, and she didn't need to greet her.

Waiting for Chu Chan to go out, Zhang Jiao tore open the brown paper bag, revealing the bread inside, and took it out one by one and placed it away.

"Miss Zhang?"

Meng Pu had just met Chu Chan in the corridor and was beckoned by her to come to the lounge to eat.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw an unexpected person.

"Mr. Meng, do you also work at the police station?" Zhang Jiao heard an unfamiliar voice, raised her head suddenly, and saw a fairly familiar face.

She squinted at the nameplate he hung in front of her.

It turns out that Meng Pu is Chu Chan's newly transferred boss!

Meng Pu nodded, "I'm working in the serious crime team." ”

"Oh, what a coincidence. Sit down, I brought a lot of bread, I heard Chu Chan say that you didn't have lunch, you come and try it. ”

Zhang Jiao warmly invited him to sit down, and directly took a piece of bread and put it in his hand.

"I don't know if you like cream or not, this piece has a cream filling in it, you try it, and if you don't like it, change it to something else."

Meng Pu's expressionless face was made to cry and laugh by her behavior.

He is now a little skeptical that he is in the territory of the serious crime team or in Zhang Jiao's house.

She is too proficient in anti-customer-oriented.

Zhang Jiao saw Meng Pu staring at the bread in his hand and didn't move, thinking that he didn't like it. "Then I'll give you another one?"

Meng Pu immediately lowered his head and took a bite, and told Zhang Jiao with his actions that he could eat. "No, it tastes good."

Zhang Jiao smiled, "That's good." ”

The voices of the agents outside the door rang out.

After a while, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

"Sir Meng is good!" Brother Tian, who was the first to come in, raised his hand to greet Meng Pu, and saw Zhang Jiao on the other side.

"Yikes! Miss Chang, it's been a long time since you've been here. I said why did the eldest lady call us to eat, it turned out that you sent it. ”

He glanced at the food on the table, and it was instantly apparent.

The agents who came in behind him greeted her and thanked her for the bread.

Zhang Jiao instantly fell into a lively atmosphere, and the sadness and sorrow in her heart pressed down on her heart again.

She smiled and said, "You're welcome! ”

A flash of curiosity flashed in Meng Pu's eyes, they were too familiar with each other.

He looked at Chu Chan, who came in last, suspiciously, and asked her the reason with his eyes.

Chu Chan smiled, habitually sat next to Meng Pu, and explained softly to him: "Zhang Jiao is my cousin, who opened a shop on Pearl Street. In the past, I would often bring food and drink, and I would give everyone a discount. It's ripe after coming and going. ”

Meng Pu shook his head and took Chu Chan a piece of bread that was the same as his hand. He just tasted it and it was delicious.

Chu Chan took it indifferently, without any shredging.

Although Zhang Jiao was chatting with Brother Tian, Yu Guang had been paying attention to Chu Chan's dynamics, and seeing that she and Meng Pu were biting their little ears and sitting together, the alarm bell in her heart was loud.

Ooh! There is a case!

How long has it been since Meng Pu joined the police station, why did the relationship between the two of them begin to show signs?

Zhang Jiao dared to guarantee that she was not mistaken.

Although she has never been in love in her life, she has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run. She clearly smelled the sour smell of love on them!

Zhang Jiao didn't hold back, and when Brother Tian turned his head to talk to Akai, he quietly squeezed his eyes at Chu Chan and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Chu Chan received her inexplicable look, and couldn't help but pouting and rolling her eyes.

What's wrong!

The detectives were often in a hurry, so they practiced a stunt of eating quickly, Zhang Jiao was afraid of delaying them, and when she saw that they were about to finish eating, she planned to leave.

She estimated the time, Brother Peng should have returned.

"I'll send you out." Chu Chan stuffed the last bite of bread in her hand into her mouth and stepped forward to hook Zhang Jiao's hand.

"No, you eat slowly." Zhang Jiao watched her swallow a piece of bread in two bites disapprovingly.

Eating like this is the most likely to hurt the stomach.

"It's okay, let's go." Chu Chan took out her pocket and wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. But it was empty, and she didn't know when she lost the handkerchief.

Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly, and was about to take her handkerchief from her handbag.

Seeing a neatly folded men's handkerchief being sent to Chu Chan, she turned her head sharply, it was Meng Pu.

Oh my God, what is this scene?

Chu Chan reacted differently from hers, and took the handkerchief gratefully, "Thank you, I'll wash it back and return it to you." ”

Zhang Jiao opened her mouth in surprise, looked at her in shock, and then looked sideways at Meng Pu with a calm face.

Is this the time to say thank you?

This is the time when you are about to get out of the list!

Chu Chan wiped her mouth with Meng Pu's handkerchief, didn't notice the change in the expression on Zhang Jiao's face, and naturally stuffed it into her pocket.

Meng Pu found out, and coughed lightly in some shame, "I'll go back to the office first." ”

"Okay." Chu Chan nodded, and said to Zhang Jiao, "Let's go too." ”

Zhang Jiao walked forward with her strength, and gave her a complicated look, it turned out to be a fool who hadn't yet opened her mind!

Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, and it is really lonely to eat melons alone.

Forget it, is it something that she can worry about as a cannon fodder passerby?

It's enough to eat melons obediently!

Zhang Jiao didn't think much about it anymore, and waited intently for the fool to open up.

As she passed by the office of the Serious Crime Unit, she casually glanced inside.

"Huh?" She stopped and turned back again.

"What's wrong?" Chu Chan saw that she didn't leave, and found that she was staring at the information board on the opposite office wall through the window, thinking about something.

"The person on this painting is familiar, I seem to have seen her somewhere." Zhang Jiao wrinkled her eyebrows, she was sure.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, this big mole!

This sketch only has an eight-point portrait of a real person, but Zhang Jiao still remembers. This person was the first time she met Aunt Feng, the leading murderer who bullied Aunt Feng.

Chu Chan didn't care, "It's not surprising that you've seen it, this person is a well-known bully on Gudun Road." In the name of gangs, they collect protection money and extort money from shops and vendors along the road. ”

Zhang Jiao used to come to the police station to be diligent, and it was normal to encounter her occasionally on the road.

"What's wrong with this person?" Zhang Jiao didn't say anything about the relationship between them, and continued to move forward casually, inquiring about Chu Chan without a trace.

"Killed, since four days ago, there have been middle-aged women brutally murdered one after another. Among them, this Huang Dalan, the one you are familiar with, was hit by a total of 38 knives on his body, and he was the first to be killed, and he was also the one with the most wounds. ”

Chu Chan didn't doubt it, and shared some unimportant information that could be said to Zhang Jiao.

"Have you found the killer?"

"No, I don't. There are too many people who have been bullied by these deceased, and many of them have a grudge against her, and we are slowly investigating. ”

Chu Chan was depressed to death, and after interrogating Lin Dashan, they all went out to investigate, and most of the people who had been bullied had not been disceded, so they had not found clues for the time being.

Zhang Jiao nodded sympathetically, in reality, the investigation of the case is not like what is written in the novel, there is not so much good luck, and there will be clues to fall on your head at any time.

Walking to the door of the police station, Brother Peng was indeed waiting diagonally across the road.

Zhang Jiao waved her hand to Chu Chan, "I'll go back first." No matter how important the investigation is, you should also pay more attention to rest and don't burn your body out. ”

My aunt began to complain that she was always wearing out her clothes, and if she turned around and boiled her head bald, it was estimated that my aunt would be able to live and pour her hair growth medicine every day.

Chu Chan smiled warmly, "I know, long-winded!" ”

Zhang Jiao didn't care about her like her, turned around and left.

Brother Peng kept staring at the gate of the police station, and when Zhang Jiao walked across the road, he had already opened the car door for her.

The car started slowly, and Zhang Jiao silently looked at the receding buildings and trees outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

"How is Mama Liu's mood?" Brother Peng thought that Zhang Jiao would be silent all the time, but he didn't expect her to suddenly ask.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Mother Liu has been crying all the time, and I feel that she is not in a good state." ”

Zhang Jiao nodded, this is the saddest time she has ever seen, and Mother Liu's is the saddest.

I wish she could see it sooner.

As soon as Zhang Jiao got home, she fell asleep. slept until nightfall, when Zhiyuan called him up to eat.

She stayed at home peacefully for two days, not going anywhere, and quietly thinking about the little doubts she had found.

"Miss, I have made an excuse to ask Mother Liu, today is the seventh day of Zhang Mingfeng's death."

Mother Qi respectfully stood beside Zhang Jiao's recliner and replied to her, she was not familiar with Aunt Feng, so she called Aunt Feng by her name directly.

Zhang Jiao clipped the bookmark to the page she was reading and closed it gently. "Isn't that Aunt Feng's first seven today?"

The first seven days are an important day in funeral customs, and it is rumored that on the first seven days, the souls of the deceased return home.

The relatives and friends of the deceased need to prepare incense, candles, paper money, burn them for the deceased in front of the tablet, and also have to cry for the deceased to lead him home.

"You call Mother Liu and ask her to pay money from the account to buy some incense, candles, and paper for Aunt Feng to send. Don't you have to burn the ladder, let's pay for it, Aunt Feng is my employee after all, and I can't ignore her funeral. ”

The ladder is a kind of paper product, which is burned for the deceased on the first seven days, so that he can climb the ladder to the sky and live a good life.

It can be regarded as a kind of beautiful vision of the living for the life of the deceased after death.

"I know, I'll call Liu's mother later."

After Qi's mother left, Zhang Jiao gently tapped her palms with the spine of her book, and said with a sigh, "The seventh day! ”

She got up and walked to the desk and called Chu Chan, wanting to confirm something with her, but no one answered.
