Since he didn't find the third corpse under the tree, it showed that he didn't know about the matter, so his suspicions were naturally cleared up a lot.
It's just that although he said this, the worry in Lin Chen's heart was not relieved.
Under the banyan tree, the scene of busy work stopped again.
Not only Jiang Chao, who led the team, but every police officer present felt their scalps were numb, and found three bodies at the same time under a tree. What does this mean
This shows that they are likely to encounter a major criminal case.
The two police officers squatted down and began to assist the forensic doctor to clean up the soil covering the third body. Jiang Chao ordered, and the rest started a carpet-like search of the woods by the lake. If they found any traces of loose soil, they would start immediately. dig.
After setting the task, he looked at Lin Chen again, rolled his eyes slightly, and then swallowed: "I said Lao Xing, you are not in a hurry to go home today, why not stay for two more days?" He pulled Xing Conglian, He handed a cigarette diligently, and then suddenly felt that the old man's situation just now was really good. Otherwise, why would he have another chance to ask someone to go back to assist in the investigation
——
The news of a major case on the campus of Yongchuan University was quickly transmitted back to the police force like wings were attached.
Therefore, when Lin Chen was "brought back" to the police force, he found that the police officers in the entire office looked at him with a strange look. Is it earnest
Lin Chen suddenly couldn't understand the situation.
His hand was tightly held by Vice-Captain Jiang, while Vice-Captain Jiang's other hand was hooked on Xing Conglian's shoulder, and he had the aura of not letting go.
Jiang Chao's office had apparently just been cleaned up, the trash bins had new bags, and there were still water stains on the floor.
In front of the desk, there were two specially placed seats, still the ones with soft backrests, while on the table were two cups of freshly brewed hot tea. The tea leaves were fresh and green, and the tea soup was clear and pleasant.
Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian, and wanted to get some hints from the other party, but Xing Conglian didn't seem to care. He sat down at the desk with a slap in the face, held the teacup, and took a sip.
"Consultant Lin, please take a seat."
Lin Chen was hesitating, but Jiang Chao hurriedly pressed him on another chair, and forced hot tea into his hand.
Obviously they were brought back to the police station as "suspects" to assist in the investigation, but now they are treated as guests. Does this kind of treatment seem a little wrong
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
A small policeman with a big head and a big head came in and said to Jiang Chao: "Jiang team Jiang team, BOSS let you go!"
"Where are you going!" Jiang Chao slammed the table, "Didn't you see Captain Xing and Consultant Lin?"
Before Jiang Chao could finish speaking, a deep voice came from outside the door: "Deputy Jiang, you have a lot of authority recently?"
During the conversation, a middle-aged man pushed the door and came in. The man came in with a burly stature and a silver star on his shoulders. He was of the same level as Inspector Huang. The boss in the mouth of the police.
"Zheng Bureau Zheng Bureau, I'm sorry, I'm really busy!" When he saw his boss, Jiang Chao hurriedly nodded and bowed, admitting his mistake and apologizing, but the middle-aged man didn't look at him, instead his eyes fell on him. Sentenced to Conglian.
Following the middle-aged man's gaze, Lin Chen took another look at Xing Conglian, only to see that Xing Conglian was still sitting upright, without even turning his head, as if he was unaware of the arrival of the middle-aged man, or maybe he Just deliberately ignoring people
Lin Chen was even more puzzled.
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man clearly gritted his teeth, then looked at Xing Conglian's back in mock surprise, and shouted loudly, "Isn't this Captain Xing, why are you here?"
Only at this moment did Xing Conglian react. He stood up, turned his head, saluted the middle-aged man with a blank expression, and said, "Hello, Bureau Zheng."
"Xiao Jiang, why didn't you say a word when Captain Xing came!" The middle-aged man stepped forward, took Xing Conglian's hand in an exaggerated way, and shook it twice, "Long time no see, old Xing !" He said, then turned to Jiang Chao and said, "Hurry up, order some good dishes in the cafeteria, and greet Captain Xing at noon!"
"No need." Xing Conglian said lightly, while he said, he took his hand out of Director Zheng's hand, and handed out the document bag in his hand, "I am here just to hand over Yang Dianfeng. One case, the relevant information of this case is all here, and I also ask Director Zheng to check it."
Lin Chen turned his head.
Xing Conglian's attitude is too official. He not only does not mention the case of Yongchuan University, but also urges the Yongchuan police to hand it over as soon as possible. It seems that this is not his usual style of behavior
Sure enough, after hearing what Xing Conglian said, Director Zheng was too embarrassed to speak, Jiang Chao hurried to the rescue: "Hey, what are you anxious about, Lao Xing, don't you think this is just a big thing, I really can't do anything? Come!" He said, but he did not accept the dossier that Conglian had in hand.
"Then, would you please send a subordinate?" Xing Conglian raised his eyes and looked at the director, a rare calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
At this point, Director Zheng himself, of course, understands why Xing Conglian is angry, but he is the one who ordered Hongjing's psychological consultant to be brought back, so he can't apologize directly to people, right
In fact, when Jiang Chao quietly called him to tell him that the suspect who was asked by Chen's housekeeper to be brought back to the police station was the one who rescued Fang Zhiming's daughter on the Hongjing Expressway, he had long wanted to take the old man Chen Ping into account. He dragged him out for a meal, joked, and took Lin Chen back to the police station as a suspect. Even if he wasn't afraid of being run by the old punishment, he was also afraid that Fang Zhiming's spirit in the sky would come to trouble him.
"Old Xing, you don't think this is a major case just happened. We really can't spare any manpower, so you can bring Consultant Lin and have a meal here with peace of mind!" Director Zheng said, and pulled Xing Conglian again. hand.
"Please hand over as soon as possible. Consultant Lin and I can leave as soon as possible." Xing Conglian emphasized again.
"Hey, old punishment, don't do this!"
"Sorry, after all, Consultant Lin didn't come to Yongchuan for official business. We were just wandering around and were brought into the police station as suspects. If we stay for too long, I'm afraid it's easy to provoke criticism, right?" Xing Conglian said. said.
After hearing what he said, Lin Chen realized that it was Xing Conglian's uncharacteristic and tough attitude that he was acting out for him
However, he has experienced too much of such trivial matters, and he never feels that it matters. Why should he care so much
Just when Lin Chen was very puzzled, Director Zheng finally realized from Xing Conglian's solemn expression that if he didn't have a definite statement on what happened today, he would definitely not be good.
So he let go of Xing Conglian's hand and turned to face Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was a little surprised.
"Consultant Lin, I'm really sorry, today was indeed a misunderstanding, don't worry about it!"
The middle-aged man's tone was sincere, and after he finished speaking, he even bowed his head slightly to express his apology.
After all, the director personally came forward to apologize, Lin Chen was very embarrassed, he wanted to stand up and return the salute, but Xing Conglian's hand was pressed on his shoulder.
From the weight passed from that hand, Lin Chen understood that Xing Conglian meant that you were not allowed to stand up, this is what it should be, and you can bear it.
Now that the other party has apologized, Xing Conglian will certainly not show that cold face again.
After Director Zheng stood up again, he also took back the information and said to Jiang Chao, "Since Captain Jiang is busy, Consultant Lin and I have not slept all night. We want to take a rest first and call us again when you are free? "
"Hey, why are you leaving!" When Jiang Chao heard this, his face instantly became aggrieved.
"We're not leaving. If it's convenient, we'll rest in the police duty room." Xing Conglian finished speaking, and then looked at Lin Chen.
Looking at his deep eyes, Lin Chen had no choice but to nod.
Lin Chen felt that the atmosphere of the entire Yongchuan branch was a bit strange.
For example, the director would personally apologize to him, and just now, he was forced to put a few candies in his hand when he and Xing Conglian were on their way to the duty room.
The lighting in the duty room was dim, and in the small room, there were two simple bunk beds.
When he really saw the bed, Lin Chen felt sleepy. He didn't have a habit of cleanliness. Since he was sleepy, he should sleep, so he put the sugar in his hand on the bedside table, took off his shoes, and climbed into the bed.
Xing Conglian didn't have a bed. He sat in the back chair with his feet on the other chair, looking very casual.
"Yongchuan police, it seems that they are very reluctant to hand over Yang Dianfeng's case to you, why?" Remembering that in the office just now, Xing Conglian only used a file bag, which forced him to bow his head, Lin Chen thought about it, and then asked this question.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with the document." Xing Conglian took off his police uniform and put it on his back, then turned his head to look at him, "It's just about you."
"Huh?" Lin Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this answer.
"What do you think of the Yongchuan University case?" Xing Conglian changed his words.
"It's not easy." Lin Chen replied.
"Can you be specific?"
"Do you think it's shocking to find three overlapping corpses under a banyan tree?" Lin Chen asked.
"Very."
"Then what was your first reaction when you saw a body buried on campus?"
"Ordinary murder." Xing Conglian told the truth.
"What does it mean when a shocking story begins with a bland narrative?"
"Someone wants the effect of twists and turns?" Xing Conglian suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant. Even if the three people under the tree were willing to be buried alive, someone must have covered the last handful of soil for them.
"He has done it now." Lin Chen said quietly, but when he finished speaking, he also understood what Xing Conglian meant, "You mean, Captain Jiang and the others?"
"They probably really want to keep you here and help with the investigation." Xing Conglian was a little helpless.
"I don't understand, I don't think it's that important." Lin Chen told the truth that the director apologized in person because he wanted him to assist in the investigation. Even if Holmes was here, it would be difficult to enjoy this treatment.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xing Conglian's eyes suddenly softened, he looked at the candy Lin Chen had just put down, and said softly, "Because Fang Zhiming used to work here for ten years before he was transferred to the anti-narcotics department. , including Director Zheng himself, who used to be his colleagues."
You uncovered a corner of the dark truth. You saved their colleagues from dying innocently. You also saved their colleagues' daughters. You are really important to them.
The Chen family may be able to put pressure on the police, but no matter how much pressure, there is no way they can compete with what you have done.
In this world, money may buy countless submissive glances and hypocritical flattery, but it can never buy true respect.
Lin Chen finally understood: "You know about this, so... you must ask Director Zheng to apologize?"
"How did I ask for anything?" Xing Conglian laughed dumbly, "You think that Director Zheng went downstairs in person just to scold Captain Jiang, he knew that he ordered you to be arrested, and he came here to compensate you, only No chance to speak."
"So, they were acting just now?"
"Yeah, the characteristics of the second round of Yongchuan."
Lin Chen leaned on the bed and felt that the atmosphere of this police station was indeed a bit bizarre.
"Not used to it?" Xing Conglian suddenly opened his mouth when he looked at the man who was leaning on the bed in deep thought.
Lin Chen thought for a while and nodded.
"Just get used to it slowly in the future." After he finished speaking, he turned off the micro light on the bedside: "Take a good rest, they won't let us go later."
The heavy curtains were carefully pulled up, and there was almost no light in the room,
There was an even sound of breathing soon.
Lin Chen stretched out his hand, picked up a candy from the bedside table, and peeled off the candy wrapper.
Xing Conglian's breathing gradually became longer.
Lin Chen put the sugar in his mouth and took a sip.
Actually you don't have to, but still... thank you so much...
