Seeing that the couple was about to leave the hotel, Chen Shu, who was wearing casual clothes, ignored the fact that he was an out-of-town police officer who was supposed to avoid suspicion, so he quickly ran out and grabbed the two of them, wanting to inquire about the girl's social relationships.
"Are you a policeman?" Listening to Chen Shu's foreign accent, the man looked up and down for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why aren't you wearing a police uniform? Where is your ID?"
"We who do criminal investigations wear civilian clothes." Chen Shu said in a pretentious manner, and then quickly took out his police officer ID card and waved it in front of the two of them.
In China, the police cards of any police type and province are exactly the same in format. The official name is "People's Police Card". On the front, it shows a small bust photo of a person wearing a police uniform without a hat, and on the back, it shows a police officer wearing a police uniform.
There is a lot of relevant information about someone, such as name, gender, blood type, position, police rank, etc., listed from top to bottom.
The police ID cards from the northernmost part of China and the police ID cards from the southernmost part of China are basically the same except for the local distinction in the small column of job title. You won’t notice the difference unless you take a few minutes to look carefully.
.
Another interesting thing is that the public security, national security, police and prison police are completely different police systems. Their police certificates are similar, but the identification of the unit will be different, and then the police certificate
The black cover is similar to a wallet containing money, with a metal police badge nailed inside. The markings below the badge will vary depending on the unit.
Public security is public security, national security is national security, court bailiffs are courts, procuratorate bailiffs are prosecutors, and prisons are judicial.
Ordinary people may not have the opportunity to talk to the police for several years, so they have basically no ability to distinguish the authenticity of documents, let alone the subtle differences between police types and even police in different provinces.
It is worth mentioning that due to the influence of TV dramas and movies over the years, ordinary people have habitually acquiesced that when the police show their police ID, it is enough to flash it in front of them, thinking that this is a standard demonstration action.
Therefore, unless you hold the police card under your nose and take a closer look, most people will not be able to detect the difference.
"Oh, it's a detective, I understand, I understand." The woman standing next to her convinced herself based on the police TV dramas she watched every day, and then said politely, "This police officer,
Is there anything else you can do?"
Let me tell you, the bodies of your two daughters are lying upstairs, and you didn’t want to go up and take a look?
You ask me what's the matter? There's nothing wrong with you two, right?
Chen Shu suppressed the surprise in his heart and followed the usual procedure to ask the couple of the deceased to go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade for investigation, or to find a quiet place nearby to cooperate with the police in making an investigation record.
The man first glanced at his wife next to him, and when he saw that she didn't say anything, he shrugged, opened his mouth and said, "Now that the police are here, I leave this matter to you. If you have any questions, just call me. We are here
I happened to run into something urgent, so I have to leave first."
Chen Shu was surprised and said: "What can be more important than here? Can't we postpone it for a while?"
The man was even more surprised: "Aren't you criminal police? Such a big thing as the death of my little girl should be investigated. It will probably take a lot of time. By the way, after you finish the investigation, you should be able to help send her to the funeral parlor, right?"
Now they were talking about trivial matters, and now they were about urgent matters, and now it was such a big deal. Chen Shu couldn't understand the logic of the other party's language at all, but he could feel the couple's disapproval of their children.
I even said it sounded a bit disgusting.
Speaking of this, Chen Shu felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked as tactfully as possible: "Don't you... go upstairs and have a look?"
The man looked embarrassed and was about to refuse, but his wife standing beside him glared at her, muttered, then shrank back, tightened her mouth and said nothing.
The two words the woman muttered were very brief, but Chen Shu heard them clearly: bad luck.
A burst of anger arose spontaneously. At this time, Chen Shu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He reached out and grabbed the man's forearm and said loudly: "I need to confirm the identity of you and the deceased. Come with me!"
Before the man could speak, his wife spoke first. Her voice was no weaker than that of the police. She almost poked Chen Shu's nose with her finger: "You don't even have a police uniform. I still suspect that you are a fake police officer! Let me tell you, we
We've already checked it with the police officers over there at the police station. If you don't believe me, ask them! Why are they stopping us?"
Seeing that there was a quarrel here, the old police officer who had brought the couple to the police station in the area ran over and immediately proved the identity of the couple to Chen Shu. The man was indeed the biological father of the deceased, and the woman was the stepmother.
.
"snort!"
When leaving, the woman's head was still raised.
The deceased's father, who also didn't even glance at his dead daughter, was dragged away by his current wife and hurried away with 30,000 yuan in his cell phone that the hotel general manager had just transferred.
Chen Shu suddenly felt unmotivated. Even his parents didn't care about the death of the deceased. How could he, a traveling policeman from out of town, join in the fun out of thin air?
Will it be his turn for the millions of people who die abnormally every year across the country to come to terms with their past?
For a moment, Chen Shu suddenly thought of reporter Zhang Yang who traveled all over the country for the victim, what was she doing and what was she planning.
Isn't it essentially the same as Zhang Yang's intervention in a murder case without any reason?
It should be different.
Zhang Yang is more pure, and he is more selfish for the purpose of helping his friends.
"Thirty thousand yuan is just gone, aren't you angry?" Chen Shu noticed that the approaching general manager was standing on the steps with him, looking at the parents who happily left after receiving the money.
"Don't be angry." The general manager's expression that had been smiling suddenly turned serious.
"..."
"Officer, you can tell by the looks of this family why the girl committed suicide. They don't even care about their daughter at all. When they come in, money, money, money, and after giving the money, they immediately stopped crying and left with satisfaction." The general manager stretched out his hand.
With his right hand, he pointed angrily in the direction the couple left.
"Aren't you angry? That's not what it sounds like." Chen Shu took out a yellow cigarette from his arms, handed one to the gray-haired old man, and lit it.
"Don't be angry. Well, that's a good girl. When she entered the elevator yesterday, she helped me, an old man, press the floor button. This 30,000 yuan is my farewell to her. By the way, police officer, if you check
If the case requires it, just give the order in the store, and I have taken care of the people below. I will always reserve the room where the girl lives, and the two rooms next to it, for you."
"Three rooms? That's a lot of money."
"It's okay, I don't need this little money."
"Aren't you afraid of affecting your business?"
"Business is not as important as life."
After saying that, the general manager turned around and silently returned to the office.
