Zhou Nan first called home and asked his mother, Yue Ping. Hearing that his father, Zhou Ningyu, had not returned yet, he called Zhou Ningyu's office phone number.
After the call was connected, the father and son briefly communicated on the phone. When they heard that his father, under the instruction of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Xiangdong, had replaced Han Yafei as the leader of the task force and was fully responsible for the case, Zhou Nan felt happy and confused.
The pressure is huge.
For Zhou Ningyu, this is of course a very precious opportunity. If the case is solved, his achievements will naturally be great. He will be promoted naturally and become the official police chief of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau. He may even serve as the Shanghai Metropolitan Police Department concurrently.
Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.
But the crux of the matter is that this case is not easy to solve. From a purely criminal investigation perspective, Zhou Ningyu may not be much better than Deputy Director Han Yafei, who was a criminal police officer. Zhou Ningyu’s biggest reliance is probably Zhou Nan, who looks like
It seems that there are some "all-powerful" sons.
But is Zhou Nan really "omnipotent"? Zhou Ningyu has no idea. However, he has no way out now. He must go to where he deserves it. As long as Liu Xiangdong is determined to promote him, even if the case ends up dragging on longer,
There is no problem either.
Zhou Nan pondered for a moment, suppressed his desire to get more detailed information about the case from his father, hung up the phone, and rushed to Meng's house.
Not long after ringing the doorbell, the door opened. It was Chen Xi who opened the door.
Seeing Zhou Nan, a bright smile immediately appeared on Chen Xi's bright and delicate face. This smile was different from Chen Xi's signature smile in Zhou Nan's previous impression, and seemed to be truly sincere.
This made Zhou Nan feel a little weird. Could it be that this weird little girl really changed her temper?
Meng Chunting put on her home pajamas, tied an apron around her waist, and was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Zhou Nan come in, she popped her head out of the kitchen and said with a gentle smile, "Xiao Zhou, you play with Chen Xi first, and I'll
It’s good if you know how. Let you try my craft tonight..."
Meng Chunting's expression was very soft and even feminine. Because she was wearing an apron, the faint aura of a strong woman had long since dissipated with the wind.
"Mr. Meng, I'm so sorry that I asked you to cook in person. What can I do for you?" Zhou Nan smiled sheepishly and pretended to go into the kitchen.
Meng Chunting glanced back at him and smiled, "Don't be so polite. I don't want your help. You should just wait outside. I'll be fine soon."
A strong aroma of braised pork ribs wafted from the kitchen. Chen Xi next to him took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou Nan, my mother is stewed pork ribs. What my mother is best at is braised pork ribs."
, it’s delicious, I’m sure you’ll think about it twice after you eat it, maybe you’ll want to come to our house every day to eat!”
"Stinky girl, what are you talking about?" Meng Chunting turned around and cursed with a smile, "You two, stop standing at the door and go have some fun. Xiao Zhou, you can go and give her extra lessons."
Zhou Nan said oh, then entered her bedroom laughing with Chen Xi.
As soon as he entered Chen Xi's bedroom, Zhou Nan immediately felt some changes. This little girl's room seemed much cleaner and tidier than the previous few times he came. If it wasn't that she really changed her temper, it was because she had tidied up in advance to wait for Zhou Nan to come.
Check the room. Thinking about it, the latter is more likely.
Zhou Nan glanced at Chen Xi and felt that this little girl had changed a lot after not seeing her for a few days. However, Zhou Nan still insisted that this was just an illusion and didn't take it seriously.
"Brother Zhou Nan, it's time to have dinner soon. What kind of homework do you need to study for... You'd better take a look at my photo album." Chen Xi smiled and took out a photo album from the bedside table, threw it to Zhou Nan, and then sat down honestly.
Next to Zhou Nan, he opened the photo album and introduced his photos to Zhou Nan.
Chen Xi in the album is innocent, beautiful and very photogenic.
But Zhou Nan looked at it for a long time and suddenly felt a little strange. Why was there only a photo with her mother Meng Chunting in her photo album, but no trace of her father? It seemed a little...reminiscent of the fact that she had not seen this family several times.
The male owner, and there were no signs of men "moving" in the house, made Zhou Nan feel a little confused.
But this is someone's privacy, so Zhou Nan would naturally not ask for trouble by asking these questions.
But Zhou Nan's refusal to ask does not mean that Chen Xi will not tell.
When Zhou Nan accidentally turned over an old and yellowed photo, he suddenly discovered that the photo was supposed to be a group photo of three people, but the left side was cut off by Shengsheng with scissors, leaving only young Chen Xi and Meng Chun.
Ting and Ting were alone on it.
Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows and didn't ask. He pretended not to notice and was about to turn the page when he heard Chen Xi purse his lips and say in a low voice, with a hint of crying in his voice, "Brother Zhou Nan, I don't have it."
Dad, my dad divorced my mom when I was 6 years old and went south with a wild woman... I hate him, I hate him very, very much!"
Zhou Nan was startled, then raised his head to look at Chen Xi. He saw tears on her delicate and gentle face, and she was looking at him pitifully with teary eyes. He couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, so he gently stretched out his hand to hold her tightly.
He held her little hands, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"My mother often says that no man is good. But I think brother Zhou Nan is a good person..." Chen Xi suddenly choked and threw herself into Zhou Nan's arms, her delicate shoulders twitching slightly, "I can feel it.
Brother Zhou Nan really does it for my own good...Actually, it's not that I don't want to study hard, but I..."
The girl's fragrance entered his nostrils, and a soft and slightly green girl's body was completely pressed against his chest. Zhou Nan's body couldn't help but become a little stiff. He wanted to push Chen Xi away immediately, but he felt that this might
She reacted violently, and after hesitating, he patted her shoulder gently and whispered a few words of comfort.
However, until now, Zhou Nan has not really figured out why Chen Xi became so emotional tonight and truly showed the innocent side of the young girl.
Later, Zhou Nan found out that this day turned out to be Chen Xi's birthday. During the dinner that night, Meng Chunting and her daughter did not mention this, let alone prepare a birthday cake. To be honest, the atmosphere during the meal was rather dull, Zhou Nan
Sorry to eat too much, I simply said goodbye and went home.
Chen Xi's life experience and the situation in Meng Chunting's family made Zhou Nan feel a little emotional. However, every family has a hard time to read, so how can there be a perfect family?
Zhou Nan didn't take it too seriously. No matter what Meng Chunting's family situation was, it would not affect her ability to be her leader. For Zhou Nan, everything would remain as usual.
However, after this incident, Zhou Nan felt that Chen Xi was actually quite pitiful, so his impression of Chen Xi gradually changed, and he no longer objected to giving her tutoring services.
…
Three days later.
The Haidu City Public Security Bureau's "Qinghua Street Murder and Dismembered Corpse Case" task force held a press conference and announced the release of some physical evidence and clues for the investigation of the case. The general public is welcome to visit and make reports.
However, this exhibition did not attract many people. The main requirement was to register with your real name and issue a letter of introduction from your employer. This not only made many people feel troublesome, but also felt that something was not right. Who knew what the Public Security Bureau wanted to do?
If you are involved in a case, it will be a big trouble. You know, there have been many unjust, false and wrong cases in recent years.
Zhou Nan naturally rushed over. Only in this way could he directly participate in the investigation of this case and put forward his own suggestions without leaving a trace. Next, he knew that the Haidu City Public Security Bureau's task force would also hold a case review meeting.
Citizen representatives and media reporters are welcome to attend, and he is also prepared to participate.
The things on display are actually very monotonous. The so-called "clues" and "physical evidence" that the police really have are nothing more than three black travel bags deliberately left at the scene by the murderer to contain the chopped corpse, and some were taken from the rented cabin of the deceased woman.
Here are some personal belongings and daily necessities.
Of course, there are also some photos of the deceased woman, as well as some additional photos taken at the scene of the body dumping case, as well as the testimonies of some witnesses at the scene. However, although there are many witnesses, none of them can clearly claim to have seen the murderer, and
As for the black car driven by the murderer, no one remembered the license plate number, and even the model of the car was blank.
Haidu is such a big city, and black cars are everywhere. First, they don’t have a license plate number, and second, they don’t know the model and make of the car. How can the police start investigating?
"Oh my God, this female deceased is from the countryside, right? A girl who came out to work in the countryside was harmed like this. This murderer really deserves to be cut to pieces..."
"If we catch him, we will shoot him immediately and we won't be able to forgive him!"
"It is said that there are more than a thousand pieces of minced meat, and each piece of meat is cut evenly and neatly... It's really scary!"
"So many? Don't talk nonsense!"
"When did I stop talking nonsense? I read it in the newspaper...it's still in the newspaper today. If you don't believe me, go read it!"
"This murderer can't be a doctor, right? Or he's a butcher!"
"I heard that the murderer ran away from the mental hospital. I think the Public Security Bureau should go to the mental hospital to see if there are any missing people..."
Zhou Nan was speechless as several visitors whispered in his ears.
It had been more than half an hour since he came in, and he looked carefully from beginning to end, but couldn't see anything. He stood in the empty exhibition hall, his eyes passed through the sparse people around him, and a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After all, he is not a criminal investigation expert. Even if he is a reborn person, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky for him to find valuable clues to solve the case from these monotonous "things".
He turned around to leave, but the moment he turned around, he was suddenly deeply attracted by something placed in the cabinet.
