At this time, I found that not only Officer Yang, but even Lin Yingxue who had been sitting in the car turned her head to look at me. The more they did this, the more I was sure that these two people were definitely hiding something from me.
Officer Yang sighed and said, "Ji Wen, it's not that I don't want to tell you. This matter concerns the reputation of our police force. Once people outside know about it, it will cause an uproar. I hope you can understand me."
As he spoke, Officer Yang suddenly winked at me, as if he wanted me and him to stay away from the police car with Lin Yingxue in it. I nodded calmly and pretended to go to the entrance of the head office to check my express truck, and Officer Yang followed soon after.
"When did you first meet this little girl?"
Officer Yang asked directly. I turned around to look at the police car and found that Lin Yingxue didn't pay attention to this side, so I said, "She came to my house to find me in the middle of the night yesterday and said some inexplicable things. She even asked me to help her find who killed her. It seems that you should know her. Who is she? Is she also a police officer?"
After hearing what I said, Officer Yang was stunned at first, then he looked at me meaningfully and said, "We have some friendship, so I still need to remind you of some things, otherwise it will be too late to regret when something happens. I don't know the identity of that little girl, but you'd better not have any other crooked ideas about her, otherwise you will be the only one who gets hurt."
I understand what Officer Yang said. Obviously, Officer Yang absolutely understands Lin Yingxue. He just doesn't want me to get too close to Lin Yingxue.
I laughed at myself and said, "Don't worry, I know my own worth. Since there is such a huge difference in status, I naturally won't have any unreasonable expectations."
Officer Yang seemed to realize that this sentence hurt me a little. He patted my shoulder gently and said, "Remember I told you just now that I had a meeting all day yesterday? To tell you the truth, this case is no longer my responsibility. The organization sent a great department to take over. At the meeting yesterday, the leader scolded me severely and asked me to try not to interfere in this case. But it's good this way. At least it will give me less worries."
Although he said this, Officer Yang's lonely eyes betrayed him. After all, a murder case happened in his own jurisdiction, but other departments had to intervene. As the director of Binhe Town Police Station, how could Officer Yang feel good
Just like that, we both had our own thoughts and were once again speechless. After a few minutes, Officer Yang asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what did you want to talk to me about yesterday?"
I just remembered this and hurriedly asked, "Do you remember I told you that I saw her after Zhang Qiling died, and she signed for my express delivery?"
Officer Yang nodded and said, "I remember. We have also investigated this matter. That person is not Zhang Qiling. It should be Zhang Qiling's twin sister Zhang Qishan pretending to be him."
Zhang Qiling? Zhang Qishan? This family must be fans of Uncle San's books. They named their characters like this? Is there a Wu Xie
But since Officer Yang said so, I felt relieved and asked, "Did you catch him?"
"No, we sent someone to Zhang Qiling's home again, but we didn't find any trace of Zhang Qishan. We have now secretly arrested her. As long as she appears in the police's sight, she will not be able to escape."
It seems that my discovery was unnecessary, as Officer Yang had already started investigating. I said, "So that's how it is. I came to you to tell you that I went to Zhang Qiling's house yesterday and saw Zhang Qishan again. I felt that this person was behaving strangely and seemed to know something, so I was going to tell you."
"You saw him again yesterday? When did it happen? Tell me."
I told Officer Yang about my suspicions yesterday and the details of seeing Zhang Qiling again, no, it should be Zhang Qishan. Officer Yang pondered for a moment and said, "That is to say, she has actually been in Zhang Qiling's house all the time, but why doesn't she want you to enter the house? Is there something shameful in the house that we haven't discovered yet? Or is she guarding against you?"
After Officer Yang said this, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and my previous doubts about Zhang Qishan suddenly had the answer. I smiled and said, "I understand. I don't think there is something in the house that cannot be known by others. She didn't let me in for another reason."
As I was talking, I quietly told Officer Yang my thoughts. Officer Yang suddenly realized what was going on and said, "This is very likely. It seems that Zhang Qishan really knows something we don't know. At present, it seems that her anti-reconnaissance ability is quite strong. It may be difficult for us to catch her. It seems that only you can find her."
"I don't need to go find her. I think she will come to me soon. Then I will ask her to tell me everything she knows. Don't worry."
I don’t know where my confidence comes from, but I always feel that this matter is not as difficult as I imagined.
Officer Yang looked at me strangely for a long time, until I was embarrassed, then he said: "I didn't expect that you have such ability. It's a pity that you don't become a policeman. If you can solve this case, I will dig you to help me."
"Really? Don't lie to me!" I was immediately excited. You know, if I could become a policeman, then even if I couldn't rise to the top in this life, at least I could hold my head up high and proudly tell everyone who knew me about my profession. This was almost a fatal temptation for me.
"Why would I lie to you? I will explain to the boss later. But don't be too happy too soon. Special recruitment is not an easy thing. You must show the capital that makes us recruit you. Perform well. I am optimistic about you."
After he finished speaking, a police car appeared behind Officer Yang. Four policemen got out of the police car and stood in a row in front of Officer Yang. Officer Yang then ordered one of the policemen to retrieve all the surveillance records nearby to find the appearance of the person who stole the empty bag while Officer Yang was unconscious. He also sent another person to drive Officer Yang's own police car back to the police station for a detailed analysis. Finally, he and the remaining two policemen drove to the crime scene of the third murder to investigate and dropped me off at the door of the head office.
Naturally, I wouldn't have high expectations for the special recruitment mentioned by Officer Yang. After all, if he wanted to recruit someone just because of my analysis, I wouldn't believe such a plot that would only appear in novels. Maybe he just wanted me to work hard to help him find clues and solve the case.
After everyone left, the entrance of the head office became quiet again. I had nothing to do, so I prepared to drive and finish delivering my goods today.
I had not told Officer Yang before that I had discovered that the empty packages delivered over three days seemed to be the same one. I actually had selfish motives in hiding this because this clue was very important and might be the key to catching the murderer. Of course, I had to seize this opportunity myself.
I opened the express truck and prepared to continue delivering the goods, but suddenly found that Lin Yingxue was still standing next to me. Seeing that I was about to leave, she got in the car and squeezed in the driver's seat with me. She looked ahead expressionlessly and didn't say a word.
After what happened just now, my previous enthusiasm for Lin Yingxue cooled down. Without saying much, I just pulled her together to start my day's work, delivering express.
Neither of us spoke a word along the way. We just sat in silence facing each other. Although passers-by were still attracted by our strange combination, it no longer caused any emotional fluctuations in me.
Today's progress was a little slow, and coupled with some delays in the morning, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon when I finished delivering all the goods and drove back to the store.
There was only one problematic package today, and the location was Meili Community. I called and the other end hung up after a few rings. I called twice in a row and there was no response. I guessed that the person was busy, so I took the express back to the store and prepared to deliver it tomorrow.
I was just about to take the package to the store to scan when the phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that the person calling was the recipient of the package in question.
"Hello, I'm a courier from XX Express. How may I help you?" I always feel very awkward when saying this polite opening line, but I have to say it, otherwise some difficult customers will complain to me for being impolite.
"Oh, the courier. What's the matter with the phone call just now? Are you still downstairs now? I'll go down to get it." Judging from the man's voice, he should be a young man older than me, but his words immediately made me laugh. More than an hour has passed since I called him. If I was still standing downstairs of his house, wouldn't I be a fool
"I'm sorry, I called you more than an hour ago. I'm back now. We will treat this package as a problem item today and continue to deliver it tomorrow. If you need this package urgently, I will deliver it to you again now."
Before I could finish my words, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly flew into a rage and asked, "How can you deliver a package like this? You left without waiting for the recipient to pick it up. What do you mean by that?"
I got angry when I heard this, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "I called you several times more than an hour ago, but you hung up all the time. That means you must be busy with something or not at home. Do I have to wait for more than an hour for this express delivery? Then I don't care about other recipients?"
"Fuck you! I was playing games at the time, how could I have time to answer your call? How could I know you were a courier from a strange number? You can't just send me a text message? Do you think I will file a complaint with you for your attitude?"
At that time, I just felt that I was shaking with anger, and heat seemed to be coming out of my face. My chest was blocked and I couldn't breathe. I had just made up my mind to turn against this man and curse him, but suddenly I found that my boss Zhang Peng was standing not far from me, staring at me with a dark face.
