The Garden of the Family Courtyard of the Public Security Bureau.
"Your eyes are so swollen. You've been crying all day, haven't you?"
"Who's crying?!"
Zhou Leping snatched the burger from Lin Che's hand and took a bite. As soon as the tears fell, he immediately raised his hand to wipe them away.
"Tell me why you like her comics."
Zhou Leping looked down at the burger in his hand and was silent for a few seconds, "Because her comics can make people believe in beauty. I believe that only people with good hearts can draw such heart-warming stories."
Zhou Leping turned his head and looked at Lin Che with firm eyes, "Cousin, I still think that Xiao Yu will not commit suicide."
"Why do you say that?"
Zhou Leping took out his mobile phone, opened his Weibo, and handed it to Lin Che——
The private message chat on the mobile phone started a year ago.
At first it was a discussion about issues in comics, and gradually the two of them started chatting more.
Although her cousin almost never mentioned his father, whom he had never met, in front of his aunt and herself, Lin Che knew that his feelings towards his father were very complicated.
The fact that he was able to talk about his father with Xiao Yu proved that he really regarded the other person as a trustworthy friend.
Lin Che pointed to the private message on her phone, "Have you met her?"
Zhou Leping nodded, "She would go to the bookstore near our school and met her once. I know she suffered from depression, but she is really the most optimistic person I have ever seen. She said that people should take care of themselves.
Living, the beauty of life lies in feeling the beauty, this is the truth that she figured out after going through hell several times. Cousin, tell me, how could someone who can say such things commit suicide?!"
Lin Che saw the last private message——
It was Xiao Yu who told Zhou Leping that she was going to travel to New Zealand. Zhou Leping said she was envious, and she replied like this -
【Read well, I will explore the way for you first. 】
There is a very cute emoticon at the back.
"Did you feel anything was wrong when you were chatting with her recently?"
Zhou Leping shook his head gloomily, "Just because everything is normal, I don't believe she will commit suicide!"
Zhou Leping took a bite of the burger, suddenly thought of something, and stood up suddenly——
"correct!"
Zhou Leping grabbed Lin Che's arm, and the burger in his hand fell directly onto Lin Che's jacket, "I remembered that when she and I were in the bookstore last month, she received a call, but she hung up immediately.
My face became not so good, and I didn’t log into Weibo for almost a week.”
"What specific day?"
"Let me take a look." Zhou Leping took the phone and flipped through the records, "October 6th!"
"Okay, I understand, I will check it out."
"Cousin, are you investigating Xiaoyu's case?! She didn't commit suicide, right? I forgot, you have confidentiality rules..."
Lin Che stood up and rubbed Zhou Leping's head, "Lele, you have to understand that people's psychology and emotions are very complicated. Xiao Yu may have committed suicide."
Zhou Leping nodded, "Well, I know..."
"But we must also believe that the legal network is open and the truth will not be missed forever."
Zhou Leping was stunned for two seconds, and excitedly shouted to Lin Che, who had already walked a few steps away, "Cousin, I believe you!"
Lin Che waved her hand as she walked forward. After this trip, he already had the answer.
Song Ying also learned about Xiao Yu's death from the Internet. She was worried that her son would be in a bad mood, so she cooked a large table of dishes.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Song Ying came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and looked at her energetic son, a little puzzled, "Lele, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Mom. My cousin and I have talked about it. I won't let this matter affect my studies."
Song Ying's face lit up, "That's good, that's good. Wash your hands quickly. There's only one more dish left for dinner."
Song Ying turned around and entered the kitchen. Zhou Leping walked into Song Ying's room and took out a black and white photo from the bottom drawer of the bedside table.
"Dad, my cousin is right, the truth will not sleep forever."
—
Director's Office.
After listening to Lin Che's words, Director Wang frowned even more tightly, "The points you mentioned are indeed suspicious."
"Wang Bureau, although these doubts cannot be used as evidence, I think that since they are suspicious, they must be investigated clearly. I know that there is great pressure from public opinion now, so I should be more cautious. Once the case report is sent out, it cannot be changed.
Opportunity."
"Do you want your kid to tell me this?"
Director Wang glared at Lin Che, "The province requires a report on the case within 24 hours, and now it is necessary to apply for a criminal investigation of the case. How can I report to the leadership based on the few doubts you mentioned?"
As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, the fax machine behind him rang.
"Bureau Wang, your reporting materials are here."
As soon as the fax was sent, the office phone rang. It was the bureau's criminal psychology consultant, Professor Xie Datong from the School of Criminal Justice of Jiangzhou University.
Lin Che knew that to change the investigation direction of the case from suicide to homicide, a few doubts were not enough, so when he returned to the police station from the family building, he contacted Professor Xie and asked Xu Yang to pass on the relevant information.
past.
Xie Datong is a specially hired expert consultant by the bureau. Many troublesome cases over the years have relied on his psychological profiling to identify suspects. His opinions can be used as reference materials.
Through Professor Xie's analysis, he believed that based on the current data, Zhou Xinyu had no psychological reason to commit suicide.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Lin Che, "Don't you know how urgent this case is? Are you still waiting here? Why don't you investigate it quickly?"
"Wang Bureau, where is the Public Opinion Office?"
"I'll communicate."
Director Wang took the hanging police uniform jacket, dialed the internal number, and prepared to go to the provincial department to report to the leader.
Before leaving the house, he pointed at Lin Che's nose and said, "Boy, I'll bear the pressure from above for you. I'll give you three days at most. If you commit suicide, find the reason for me. If you commit suicide, find the murderer. Otherwise, I'll adjust the public opinion for you."
Go answer the phone!"
Lin Che saluted, "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"
"Promise nicely. Get out of here and work hard. I'll have someone bring you supper later."
These days, the 12th floor is brightly lit again.
"Captain Lin, we brought him back."
Lin Che closed the documents in her hand and stood up, "Let's go to the interrogation room."
"What's wrong with this convenience store owner?"
Li Li followed Lin Che and shook his head, "Pleasant Goat checked it and found nothing wrong. Lao Du and I went to visit the surrounding areas and found nothing. There is just one thing that I think is quite strange."
"What?"
"This convenience store is in the old residential area behind Zhou Xinyu's house. We looked and found that on the way from Zhou Xinyu's house to this convenience store, there is a supermarket and two 24-hour chain convenience stores. You can buy milk everywhere.
, why did Zhou Xinyu go to this convenience store to buy milk this time, through an alley with no surveillance and dim street lights? "
Lin Che nodded, "It really doesn't make sense. I'll ask more carefully later."
