"Uncle, are you listening?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask when she saw the old man humming and chirping to herself.

"Yes, how could I not know?" the old man nodded, and then said: "Of course I know that Xiaofang, he has lived in this community with his husband for several years. ”

"Then how much do you know about her?" Gu Chen was overjoyed and asked.

"This ......" The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "This Xiaofang is a very quiet person, and his personality also belongs to the kind of quiet and quiet person, who doesn't like to talk much." ”

"What about her husband?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked again.

The old man looked up at the sky, suddenly laughed, and shook his head: "Compared to this Xiaofang, her husband has the opposite personality. ”

"I'm usually very grinning, full of foul language, and I love to drink, oh yes. ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "It's just that his husband is an alcoholic, the key is that he has a tendency to be violent, and he often acts violently against Xiaofang." ”

"Do you know this?" Gu Chen frowned.

Looking at the old man's gushing look, it seemed that he knew quite a lot.

The old man said: "I have been in this community for many years, and I can know more or less about who and what personality I have, but I don't usually deal with them." ”

"What do you think of Xiaofang's husband's domestic violence against Xiaofang? Could it be that Xiaofang has never resisted, and besides, you neighbors haven't tried to persuade you?" Gu Chen threw out all the questions he wanted to know in his heart.

The old man sat on the iron bed with a golden knife, sighed and said: "What's the use of saying it? This Xiaofang has a good temper, her husband said that one is one, and she doesn't even dare to refute it." ”

"If you want me to say, the main reason is that her husband is too strong, the relationship between the two is out of balance, sometimes listening to his husband beating her, it is really miserable, several times I went to knock on the door, but was threatened by her husband, saying that it was his own business, let me be nosy. ”

Spreading out his hands, the old man also couldn't help but laugh and said: "You said that he said so, can I take care of it? This kind of thing mainly depends on Xiaofang's own family, she doesn't take it to heart, why should we neighbors take care of it." ”

"She hasn't resisted?" Gu Chen asked.

"Resist?" The old man was stunned, and said with a laugh: "Comrade policeman, do you think it is possible for Xiaofang to fight back with such a thin body?"

After listening to this, Gu Chen nodded silently.

The information I got from the old man was the same as I expected.

Xiaofang was indeed a victim from beginning to end, and the fact that the deceased abused her was also well known.

But such a woman who has endured for many years finally killed her husband one day.

According to Xiaofang's own account at that time, after her husband was drunk, he tried to strangle her.

If you look at the situation at the time, if Xiaofang didn't use a knife to fight back, it is very likely that the person who was buried would be herself.

In this case, the justifiable defense said in the past, but now the only thing Gu Chen wants to unravel is the reason why Xiao Fang dug a pit in the garden.

Therefore, Gu Chen looked at the old man again and asked, "Do you know that Xiaofang has the habit of digging pits and planting flowers?"

"Dig a pit and plant flowers?" The old man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, she also asked me if I borrowed a tool, just the stainless steel pot for sprinkling." ”

"And she also has a set of garden layout, all kinds of flowers and plants will be planted, sometimes my wife has to dig in her garden like some flowers and plants, she is very happy to give. ”

Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei, and the two looked at each other, and they also felt more and more interesting.

So Lu Weiwei asked again: "So, she has a planting plan recently?"

"Yes. The old man said with great certainty: "She wants to plant pothos in the garden recently, and she has gone to the flower market to purchase a batch of pothos these days." ”

According to her rule that she has to renovate a new variety every month, she turned over the soil in the garden a few days ago, and she should be ready to plant pothos. ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly pointed to a few pots of plants by the window and said, "See, this small pot of pothos was given by Xiaofang." ”

"I see. After Gu Chen recorded all of this, he asked again: "Uncle, are what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, I'm going to help out in her garden in the next few days, and I want to get some other plants to go home and decorate my yard. ”

"But the strange thing is that after saying that I have been talking about it for the past few days, the soil has also been turned over, but I have not seen her come to call me to help, so that I am still waiting blindly all day long. The old man said.

Gu Chen nodded happily, and said with satisfaction: "Uncle, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Gu Chen stood straight and saluted him.

......

......

After leaving the community where Xiaofang lived, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei originally planned to find a small restaurant to solve the dinner problem.

But look at the time is 7 p.m.

If you want to say it's early, it's 7 p.m.

If you want to say it's late, it's 7 p.m.

For the police, this is an awkward time for meals.

At Gu Chen's suggestion, the two simply returned to the Furong Branch.

When I came to the canteen hall of the Furong Branch, Master Nie, Master Kong, Nie Xiaoyu, and two cooking aunts were playing poker together.

Since he was chatting about melon seeds to pass the time.

Most of the police officers who had dinner in the evening also left the cafeteria.

Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walking to the hall, Nie Xiaoyu, who was eating melon seeds, was suddenly stunned, and then beckoned to the two: "Brother Gu Chen, Sister Weiwei." ”

"Xiaoyu, do you still have food at home?" asked Lu Weiwei, touching her rumbling stomach.

"It's a little, but it seems to be cold. Master Kong turned his head to see the two of them, and asked directly, "Haven't you two had dinner yet?"

"I was working on a case just now, and now I'm just calling it a day. Gu Chen stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Ahh

"Haha. Listening to Nie Xiaoyu's conjecture, Lu Weiwei was also very happy, and said: "Almost, Senior Brother Gu is almost the same as falling into the ditch, but he is lying in the dirt pit." ”

"Lying in a dirt pit?"

As soon as Lu Weiwei said that Master Kong, who was fighting the landlord, Master Nie and several vegetable aunts, they were all stunned in an instant.

I feel like you two went out to handle the case, why are you still in the dirt pit?

Gu Chen was also afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he told everyone about the simulated situation in Xiaofang Garden before.

Nie Xiaoyu laughed heartily after hearing this: "I said Brother Gu Chen, you are really dedicated enough, just to prove that Xiaofang is a legitimate defense, you go to lie in the dirt pit? I really convinced you." ”

"Yes, Gu Chen. A vegetable aunt brought a rag and walked to Gu Chen's side to dust him, and said with a distressed face: "It would be nice if the police of the Furong Branch were as dedicated as you, I found that most people are still a little lazy." ”

"Haha, it's right to be lazy, do you think everyone is Gu Chen?" Master Nie also gloated, threw away the melon seed shell in his hand, patted his hands, and then said: "The truth of diligence and diligence, if you want me to say, Gu Chen's rigorous attitude should be praised." ”

"After all, for the more controversial situation of legitimate defense, a key clue may affect the judge's judgment on the party, so it must be rigorous, not a little sloppy, and it is very important to compare our police's clue collection of the party. ”

"Yes. Master Kong also said very approvingly: "Gu Chen, you kid did a good job, if you only listen to what you discussed before, if you judge it from the subjective aspect, I will also think that this Xiaofang dug the pit in advance was premeditated." ”

"However, after you experienced it with your own body, I feel that the result seems to be really different, and sometimes I am really interested in your case. ”

"Thank you, Master Nie, thank you, Master Kong. It was also under the compliment of the two that Gu Chen gladly accepted.

At this time, Lu Weiwei's rumbling stomach once again exposed the fact that the two had not eaten dinner yet.

Before Master Kong could speak, Nie Xiaoyu took the initiative to ask, "Brother Gu Chen and Sister Weiwei haven't had dinner yet, right?" It's okay, there are still noodles in the back kitchen, I'll go and serve them to you." ”

"Are you okay?" said Master Kong, with a questioning tone.

Nie Xiaoyu pouted and smiled: "Master Kong, your specialty stunt braised beef noodles, I can make it now with the corners of my eyes closed, do you not believe in the strength of your apprentice?"

"Not really. Master Kong shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Okay, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's dinner will be handed over to you Nie Xiaoyu, go ahead." ”

"Thank you, Master Kong. Nie Xiaoyu left with a smug face.

Looking at his daughter's lively back, Master Nie retracted his gaze and said to everyone: "Sometimes I'm really worried that this kid is just a temporary interest in cooking. ”

"But now it seems that Xiaoyu really has this talent, a few days ago she suddenly came to ask me, saying that if I can't get into a good police academy, ask me if I can go to New Oriental?"

"Poof!" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei sneered and said, "Xiaoyu really said that?"

"Isn't that right? This girl is very stubborn, one idea a day. After picking up the thermos cup on the table and taking a sip of the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup, Master Nie said:

"I'll just say, you used to be a policeman, but you can't help it, because of physical reasons, you retired and became a cook, but you can't go back to your father's old path, right? ”

"So you have to go to Lanxiang Technical School?" Gu Chen said.

There was a sudden pop in the hall, and there was a burst of laughter.

Nie Xiaoyu lived up to his mission.

It was also after some operation that she brought two bowls of braised beef noodles to the same tray, handed them to the two of them with a very sense of ceremony, and made a "please" gesture, and then said: "Nie-style braised beef noodles are definitely better than Master Kong's braised beef noodles, don't believe you can try them." ”

Gu Chen didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks on the tray and paused, then he took a sip and sucked the noodles into his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing slowly, Gu Chen suddenly let out a burst of "um" exclamation: "I said Xiaoyu, it has a fight with Master Kong's braised beef noodles." ”

"That is, I don't see who is stealing. Master Kong couldn't help but be proud when he saw that his apprentice had succeeded in stealing learning.

Gu Chen asked Nie Xiaoyu, "Do you really want to be a cook?"

"I don't want to. Nie Xiaoyu looked at Gu Chen, and suddenly bowed his head shyly: "People's idol is Brother Gu Chen, I want to apply for the police academy and cook cooking, that's just a hobby." ”

"Well, that's all you need to think so. As soon as he heard his daughter's words, Comrade Lao Nie felt that it was a false alarm, and he couldn't help but gasp, and silently recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

But looking at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were eating noodles, Comrade Lao Nie suddenly remembered something, so he said indifferently: "Oh yes, recently an old classmate mentioned to me that an exchange group of European police came to the capital and was discussing the exchange. ”

"Communication?" Gu Chen looked up at Master Nie, and then asked again: "Isn't it a common thing for the police to communicate." ”

Comrade Lao Nie shook his head: "This time is different, let me tell you Gu Chen, my old classmate, has been working in an important department in the capital now, mainly to deal with some international exchange matters." ”

"Some time ago, when we were chatting in the group, he specially sent a private message to me, saying that the capital side, intends to let Jiangnan City, exclude a few outstanding police officers, and go to European sister cities to participate in police exchange missions. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chen thought of some of the abnormal reactions about Zhao Guozhi that he had heard in the three groups before.

Gu Chen suddenly felt that there would be any necessary connection between the two.

"Master Nie. After Gu Chen hesitated, he asked, "I heard Senior Brother Wang and the others once say that when Master Xi was selected by the exchange group, he entered the mission team in the capital and was sent to Europe together for a long time, so is this time the same as last time?"

"Well...... Master Nie also scratched the back of his head involuntarily, and said with some uncertainty: "If you want to say that it is the same as last time, I really can't judge, I have more important tasks last time, and I don't know what the content of the exchange is this time." ”

Looking at everyone's confused little eyes, Master Nie said again: "You also know that although you can get some rumors from above, when it comes to specific matters, it is strictly confidential, and my classmate doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

He just said that we in Jiangnan City may need to send police officers to Europe, but what to do is up to the above arrangements. ”

"It shouldn't be the big case above, right?" Lu Weiwei was suddenly overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "If you can be like Xiye and have experience in studying abroad, that's not bad, at least Xiye is coming back with gilding now, and he will be promoted quickly in the future." ”

"Hmm. Nie Xiaoyu also nodded, looked at Gu Chen and said, "I don't know if they will choose Brother Gu Chen, I think if you pick someone from our Jiangnan City Police Force, Brother Gu Chen should be one of the candidates, right?"

In Nie Xiaoyu's eyes, Gu Chen will always be the core force of the Jiangnan City Police Force and an important trump card in Zhao Guozhi's hands.

But from Master Nie's own point of view, maybe Zhao Guozhi was selfish and wanted to keep Gu Chen by his side.

But Gu Chen is a good seedling of a super policeman, in fact, Zhao Guozhi also hopes that he can go abroad to exercise, compared to Gu Chen's future is limitless.

But how long will this mission take and what it will do, the above will not reveal the slightest information at all.

If there is, it is only the possibility of pulling out the police officers from Gangnam City, that's all.

That's why Zhao Guozhi has been thinking about it repeatedly these days, constantly hesitating between the departments under his jurisdiction.

After all, the last time I was a grandfather, it was not as simple as a month or two to be transferred.

If Gu Chen was transferred away and sent abroad for a year or two, then Zhao Guozhi would be reluctant.

As a veteran figure of the Furong Branch, Master Nie and Zhao Guozhi are of the same generation, so they can best understand Zhao Guozhi's difficulties, so they will reveal some rumors to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"I think that if you want to remove personnel, it doesn't have to be Gu Chen. Master Nie took a sip of tea, and then analyzed indifferently: "I guess Zhao Guozhi won't let him go." ”

"Master Nie. Lu Weiwei was suddenly curious, and asked closely: "You mean, this time the above is really going to come to Jiangnan City to select people, and it is very likely to be selected in our Furong Branch?"

Master Nie nodded silently and said, "Almost, otherwise Zhao Guozhi is in a hurry? He is probably inspecting Xiao Yang, after all, the last time Master Xi went out to stay in the ocean, it can be regarded as a gilded return, but Xiao Yang has not gone out yet, and this time it is estimated that he will be considered." ”

"That's amazing. Nie Xiaoyu was also stunned: "But Xiao Yang's violent temper, do you guarantee that he can adapt to it?"

"Oh, too. Master Kong crossed his hands on the dining table, and the whole person also analyzed thoughtfully: "If you want me to say, these new comrades in our Furong Branch basically don't even think about it." ”

"As for the old comrades, there are only a few who are qualified to go, and the uncle is one, but the grandfather has already been there last time, and the grandfather has to take care of his family, so it is very likely that he will not go this time. “

"And that Xiao Yang, although compared with Lao Wang, it is crushing, but Xiao Yang is short-tempered, and in terms of ability, there is still a big gap between him and Xi Ye, he belongs to the diligent and clumsy type, if Director Zhao is cautious, it is very likely that he will not choose him. ”

"If you don't choose him, do you choose Senior Brother Wang?" Gu Chen couldn't help but be curious after listening to the analysis of several people.

According to the apprentices under Zhao Guozhi of the Furong Branch, Xi Ye, Xiao Yang and Officer Wang are undoubtedly the iron triangle under him.

Although Officer Wang has been desperately chasing after him in the past few years, he is still a little powerless to catch up with Xi Ye and Xiao Yang.

But if it comes to choosing Officer Wang, if he leaves his own combination, it will be difficult for Officer Wang to take on the important task, which Gu Chen knows better than anyone else.

Therefore, choosing people has become a mystery, and it is no wonder that Zhao Guozhi has also become anxious recently, it turns out that there is still this meaning in it.

Seeing that everyone cared so much, Master Nie also laughed, making everyone not too nervous: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, it is estimated that we will know the situation tomorrow, obviously, the notice of the capital has been sent to the city bureau, and the notice of the city bureau must have gone down to Zhao Guozhi, you have a beautiful sleep tonight, and when you wake up tomorrow, you will know everything." ”
