During the first lunar month, there were basically no cars on the road, and it was very easy to drive. Lin Dongxue and Chang Juan were chatting. When they talked about their hobbies, Chang Juan was very happy, and her eyes were bright when she talked.
"What major do you study?" Lin Dongxue asked.
Chang Juan, who had been very excited before, suddenly became cold and said: "Environmental science mainly studies pollution and environmental protection."
"It seems that you don't like your major very much," Chen Shi said.
"No, I like it very much, otherwise why did you choose it?" When she said this, Chang Juan's expression was very unnatural.
"I take the liberty to ask, how did your parents pass away?"
Chang Juan was surprised for a moment, and fell silent again. In the silent car, Chen Shi seemed to hear the slight movement in the earphones. Yes, someone secretly "pointed" Chang Juan.
Chang Juan replied: "Car accident."
"Are you still in high school at the time?" Lin Dongxue said.
"Yes." Chang Juan's eyes dimmed. "The death of my parents hit me harder. It was a shock in all aspects. My life became very poor and I couldn't even complete my studies smoothly."
"Then how did you go to college?" Lin Dongxue asked.
Chang Juan looked at her blankly, was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "Why do you keep asking me questions, can I ask you? You two are always together. Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"
The tone of these words was completely different from Chang Juan herself. Chen Shi thought to herself that it was not the "army officer behind the scenes" who was teaching her how to deal with the police.
The scenery outside the car window is getting more and more desolate. Looking at it, there is only a large open field. The dry grass is covered with a few piles of snow. After driving for about half an hour, they arrived in Shiqiao Town. This town is not big, there are only two. The long crossing streets are surrounded by residential houses and farmland, but there are large forest farms on the periphery, and the small town is as if hidden in the middle of a large forest.
I heard that every household here has its own piece of woodland, and most of the townspeople live a very comfortable life. The pace of life here is slow. It is now ten o'clock, and there are still people on the street eating breakfast leisurely.
Chen Shi smelled the iron oven biscuits. He remembered that the biscuits sold here were meat-filled, burnt and crispy, coated with rich sauce, they were especially delicious.
So the greedy worms moved, and asked Lin Dongxue to buy three, one for each person, but Chang Juan resolutely refused to eat, staring at the sesame seed and swallowing, but desperately shook his head.
They met with Peng Sijue at the Public Security Bureau. A director surnamed Zhang greeted them with great enthusiasm, and prepared to set up a table for everyone to catch the wind. Peng Sijue said: "No need, let's understand the case first!"
The director still insisted. Peng Sijue still said these words. The director had to withdraw his life in a hesitant manner. His polite spirit was almost forgotten. He was the director, and Peng Sijue was just a captain from the city bureau.
Along the way, the director introduced that the people here are simple and honest, not to mention this kind of extremely vicious case that is rare in ten years, usually there is no petty theft, the residents of the town know each other, they are related to each other, and whoever steals or steals. After being caught, the family can't raise their heads up to be a human being, so the law and order is very clear. The criminal police are basically doing the work of the police, registering vehicles, mediating disputes and so on.
"So in this case, the whole town became a sensation. We checked for three months and didn’t have a clue. Someone followed suit and said that we all had the murderer’s DNA, right, DNA, and the whole town’s people. Don’t you know if you’ve tested it all over again? It’s purely a backache when you’re standing and talking. We don’t have DNA testing equipment here at all. We have to take the sample to the hospital. It takes two days for a blood test. It’s really inefficient." The chief complained with a sigh.
"How to do the autopsy? Do you have a forensic laboratory?" Peng Sijue asked.
"You laughed. Our team doesn't even have a forensic doctor. We are all sent to the hospital in the city for the surgeon to help with the autopsy."
An assistant asked: "Is the autopsy report written by the doctor legally valid when I send it to the hospital for an autopsy?"
Peng Sijue replied: "It has legal effect, but strictly speaking, the outsourcing laboratory requires professional forensic certification."
Chen Shi interjected, "Director, how many people are in the town?"
The director didn't notice Chen Shi who came along, and said with a smile: "What do you call it?"
"The last name is Chen."
"Oh, Officer Chen."
"I am not a policeman, I am a driver."
"Is this comrade kidding?" The chief smiled and looked at Peng Sijue. Peng Sijue replied: "He is not a policeman, he is a consultant in our team, and his job is indeed a driver."
When I heard that it was just a driver, the director ignored Chen Shi and continued to chat with Peng Sijue. Chen Shi thought, the director is realistic!
Peng Sijue asked to see the corpse and the autopsy records, while Chen Shi wanted to go to the scene. He immediately saw the difference in treatment. The director graciously found the car to take Peng Sijue and his party to the hospital, but Chen Shi ignored him.
This is simply being treated as air. It is impossible to say that you don't care at all. Chen Shi said: "Old Peng, go to the scene first, and then look at the corpse later."
"Master, aren't you awkward? My car is ready. When can I not go to the scene? The hospital will be off work at five o'clock in the afternoon." The director persuaded, looking at Peng Sijue frequently with ambiguous eyes.
Peng Sijue said, "Then go to the scene first."
The director was shocked. On the way to the scene, he asked the police officer in a low voice whether the "master" was pretended to be a police officer, and how Captain Peng listened to him, and all the answers he got were: "He is a consultant.", "He really is. Not a policeman.", "But better than a policeman."
The Secretary was at a loss, but he doubted where a consultant could go.
Walking with strangers, Chang Juan seemed hurried along the way. Lin Dongxue accompanied her to the bungalow where the crime was committed. Lin Dongxue asked, "This is your home?"
"Yes." Chang Juan replied.
After three months, the scene has been cleaned up, the furniture has been basically emptied, some stains and blood stains can be seen on the walls, and the screens on the windows are slightly damaged. These are the traces left by the case, and the atmosphere is deserted. Against the background, there is an inexplicable weirdness.
The director began to chatter again, and Chen Shi said: "He is so annoying, please go out!"
Peng Sijue said: "Zhang Ju, we want to discuss the case here, can you and your people go outside and wait for a while, sorry."
"It's okay." The director lost a smile, took his men and left, and everyone gathered in the yard to smoke.
Chang Juan was not so nervous after the stranger left. Chen Shi said: "You can repeat the case here, where did you sleep with your husband that day?"
Chang Juan pointed to a wall, "There is our bed."
"Who will wake up first when the murderer comes in."
"It's me, I always sleep very lightly."
"Then what?"
"Then..." Chang Juan froze suddenly and remained silent for a full thirty seconds. Under the gaze of the crowd, a cold sweat came out on her forehead.
She subconsciously wanted to touch her neck ring, but desperately restrained, Chen Shi said: "What? You and Chunqin's'ghost' disconnected..." He pointed to the wall. When he just came in, he turned off the signal shielding device. It was plugged in, and now there is no electronic signal in the whole room.
"Is your communicator a neck ring? Who has been teaching you to speak?" Chen Jing asked.
