The next morning, the repair shop called and said the car had been repaired.
Zhou Ze took Yingying to get the car. Yingying took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, looking a little excited.
Boss Zhou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but gave up and sat in the passenger seat.
Although he had the animal skin in his hand, Zhou Ze was not so carefree as to rush directly to the northeast from Huai'an. Finding dragon veins is a very hard and tedious task, oh no, it is a very difficult task.
With only Yingying by my side, I feel like I am not capable enough to handle such a large geological exploration project. I can't just go around in the mountains exposed to the wind and sun.
It would be better to take some subordinates with you. At least, Baihu should be brought along, since that is her hometown and she is familiar with the place.
Lawyer An is said to have also gone to the Northeast. I can contact him when the time comes. With him in charge of the organization and operations, I can really save myself a lot of worry.
Ultimately, I've gotten used to being lazy, and I really can't adapt to going back to the days of hard work.
To put it another way, if I, as the boss, have to do everything myself, why would I have so many subordinates
Yingying drove very carefully and the car was in good condition along the way. In the afternoon, the car finally got off the highway and entered Tongcheng city.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the door of the bookstore.
Boss Zhou got out of the car first, leaving Yingying alone there, repeatedly "parallel parking" as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Instead of going to the bookstore, Zhou Ze went to the drugstore first. In the morning, Lao Xu called and said that the drugstore had received two express deliveries. Initial speculation was that they might be Qing’s two friends.
express delivery,
It was sent from Jinling.
"Hey, boss, you're back."
Fangfang greeted Zhou Ze warmly.
Zhou Ze nodded and walked into the ward.
As soon as you open the door,
Wow,
Good guy,
It’s quite crowded.
There are four beds, which are placed close together, with a space reserved for the door. The bed at the innermost is already against the wall.
For a time,
Boss Zhou felt like he was playing a real estate tycoon game.
The vegetable garden has been expanded.
This drugstore,
Does it need to be expanded too
Maybe he was really too afraid of being poor, so he kept bringing things into his home, living or dead, human or animal, causing the vegetable garden, zoo and pharmacy under his control to gradually become bloated.
Now think about it,
At the beginning, the bookstore was moved from Wuzhou International Plaza to South Street.
It doesn't seem very wise.
Wuzhou International Plaza is an almost dying commercial center anyway, so the rent must be very cheap now, but this side is a location where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
"You're here."
Gou Xin is having lunch.
The meal was quite rich, with twice-cooked pork, bacon with garlic sprouts, stir-fried sweet potato tips, and a serving of tomato and egg drop soup.
Zhou Ze ignored the salary request.
Gou Xin pouted, hummed in his heart and continued to eat, lamenting that the backward battery was not as good as a chicken.
Zhou Ze first walked to the end of Qing's bed.
Qing closed his eyes.
Seems to still be in a coma.
Boss Zhou smiled and did nothing. Firstly, the other party had not actually done anything to him, and secondly, the other party was still in the body of a little girl after all.
At the beginning, I had no choice but to do that to Lin Ke.
Now,
There is no need for that.
After standing at the end of Qing's bed for a while, Zhou Ze went to look at the two new children.
The two children are not afraid of strangers and are sleeping soundly. Look at them, they are so well-behaved and quiet, they don’t even seem to be breathing or having a heartbeat!
After checking the power supply station,
Zhou Ze walked out of the ward.
Fangfang was sitting at the counter, putting on makeup in front of a small mirror. It seemed that she had an event after get off work tonight.
"Fangfang, if there is anything in the store in the future, please ask me to help."
"I understand, boss. Hey, you know what, even though the old Taoist is old, he has a lot of strength."
Apparently, Fangfang had seen the old Taoist carrying two express boxes by himself yesterday. Combined with the Taoist's thin and tall body, the scene was quite impactful.
"Well, he's in good health. Remember, look for him if you have any problems next time."
"Don't worry, boss."
Zhou Ze walked out of the pharmacy.
I saw Yingying still parking the car parallelly there.
Originally, there were ample parking spaces on both sides of the pedestrian street in front of the bookstore, but for some reason today, there were more cars parked here, and the only empty space was between two cars.
Although Yingying has a driver's license and can drive on the road normally, many drivers are like this. Parallel parking is easy to pass in the second subject, but in actual driving in the future, they will regret that they did not really learn this skill just for the test.
Zhou Ze stood on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.
When a cigarette is almost finished,
Yingying was still there, pouring in and blooming out, pouring in and blooming out.
At this time,
Xu Qinglang pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked out. Seeing Zhou Ze, he said:
“I’m back.”
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Okay, I'll go buy some groceries."
Xu Qinglang walked to the front of the car and knocked on the window.
Yingying got out of the car as if she had been pardoned. Xu Qinglang opened the door, got in, and drove away.
Yingying pouted, looking a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's always like this. Next time if the space is too small, just push the cars in front and behind to the outside."
Maybe other boyfriends would not be able to comfort their girlfriends in this way because their girlfriends do not have the energy to do so, but this is not a problem for Yingying.
Walked into the bookstore,
The Taoist priest was sitting behind the bar, wiping the little monkey's body.
It looks like the little monkey has just taken a bath.
"Hey, boss, you're back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
"There's a package coming from the pharmacy next door..."
"I see. It's none of your business. You should take good care of it. It was sent by a friend of mine. It's useful. You should pay more attention to it."
"No problem, boss."
The dinner was very sumptuous. Although there were not many people, the table was still quite lively. After the meal, Zhou Ze lay down on the sofa, which was his most familiar position.
Close your eyes.
Smelling the aroma of the coffee Yingying had just brewed on the coffee table,
Pretend it's morning.
Pretend that there is still sunlight shining on you.
If you have light in your heart, your life will naturally be bright. Boss Zhou is obviously a master in this regard.
Now think about it,
There are also advantages to Lao Zhang's absence.
At least no one is always in front of me and asking me to contribute to society with all kinds of miscellaneous things.
It can be said that
In the whole book room,
In addition to Lao Zhang,
The rest of the people rarely come back with any trouble, and even if they do, Boss Zhou can just dismiss them or simply refuse.
However,
It seems that whatever you think comes true.
Boss Zhou was just about to turn over and continue sunbathing.
there,
A police car drove over and stopped in front of the bookstore.
"Hey, Lao Zhang is back?"
The Taoist priest scratched his head in surprise and put the little monkey under the bar.
A female police officer walked out of the police car and pushed open the door of the bookstore. Zhou Ze opened his eyes slightly. He knew this person, but he forgot her name. He only remembered that she was one of Lao Zhang's subordinates and a female criminal police officer.
"Hello, is Mr. Zhou home?"
Zhou Ze didn't believe that the female criminal police would forget him. Criminal police generally have a good memory. Lao Zhang once boasted that when he was eating hot pot, he heard a man and a few girls at the table next to him bragging, and then they immediately recognized him as an online fugitive. They patiently put the tripe into the pot and ate it before going over and handcuffing him.
"Not at home, not at home."
The old Taoist shook his head.
The female detective was stunned for a moment, but still walked up to Zhou Ze, stretched out her hand, and said:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm Xiao Lu. Do you still remember me?"
Zhou Ze sighed.
He looked at her, didn't shake hands, just nodded.
"It's like this. There was a case in Tongcheng these days, and our captain has taken a long vacation to go back to his hometown, so I can only come to ask you for help."
"I'm not a policeman."
Zhou Ze shrugged.
"Our captain asked me to come here to find you, saying that you would definitely be willing to help. Besides, maintaining social order and stability is not only the responsibility of our police, but also the responsibility of all citizens..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. What's the matter?"
Mr. Zhang is not here.
But his shadow still lingers...
Boss Zhou even thought a little sinisterly that Lao Zhang and the other five ghost officers were still busy capturing defectors near Yangzhou all day long. Maybe they felt that their life at home was too leisurely and they were a little unbalanced, so they deliberately found something for themselves to do.
Of course, this is just my imagination. With Lao Zhang's upright character, he would not do this on purpose.
"It's like this. Recently, there have been underwear thieves in several places in the city. They specialize in stealing women's underwear. There have been many cases, causing a lot of panic."
Boss Zhou raised his hand and said:
"I say, is this also under the jurisdiction of your criminal police?"
Is the public security in Tongcheng so good these days? Doesn’t the Criminal Police Brigade have other cases to work on
"The problem is not that simple. It is not simply that the underwear hung out to dry was stolen when the person was not at home. Rather, the victim was drugged and knocked unconscious in the bathroom of some office buildings or when the owner was at home. Although no rape was performed, there were obvious bruises on the body. In addition, the victim's underwear was also taken away."
Zhou Ze understood that this was a different matter. If it was just a pervert or someone with special fetishes who stole the underwear, it would be disgusting, but it should only be handled by the police station.
It's just that this has already involved pornography. Although nothing substantial has happened, the nature of it has been determined and it has constituted an extremely serious infringement on the life and property of the victim.
"Moreover, last night, a singer came to Tongcheng to participate in a commercial performance and stayed in a hotel. Although he was protected by bodyguards, he also suffered..."
Zhou Ze nodded.
I raised my head subconsciously.
Glancing around,
This kind of thing,
Boss Zhou habitually sent one of his men out to help solve the problem.
But looking around,
Old Dao,
Unreliable...
It's okay to ask him to accompany someone on a trip, but it's too difficult to ask him to find and capture someone.
Lao Xu
Why do I have a feeling that if I send Lao Xu there, Lao Xu might be violated
However, he is indeed the most suitable person to be sent out now. Even if the opponent is not a ghost or a monster, but just an agile person, with Lao Xu's power as the god of the sea, it is still easy to catch a person.
only,
It seems that he sensed that Boss Zhou was going to pass the buck.
Xu Qinglang actually went upstairs with the facial mask.
Walk resolutely.
Walk very freely.
We used to be neighbors, and now we have been eating from the same pot for so long, who doesn’t know each other
at last,
Zhou Ze set his eyes on the white fox lying in the corner. The white fox was emitting a faint white light. When there were outsiders here, it would glow so that outsiders could not see it.
It is said that the Taoist priest has been seeking advice from the white fox recently, hoping that she can teach the little monkey this trick, so that when the Taoist priest takes the monkey out in the future, he will not have to worry about being reported as a smuggler of national protected animals.
only,
Let this female detective act like a fox to investigate the case.
How can I say it
At this time,
Zhou Ze's cell phone rang.
The caller ID shows it's Lao Zhang.
Zhou Ze hung up the phone.
Then the phone rang again.
Zhou Ze hung up the phone again.
When it rings the third time,
Boss Zhou simply blocked Lao Zhang’s number.
"Mr. Zhou, this incident is very serious and has caused great social panic. So, if you are able, I hope you can give me some advice."
Zhou Ze took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, stood up, and said:
"Okay, I'll go with you to see the scene."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Please take my car."
The female detective started the car first.
Zhou Ze changed into casual clothes. He didn't ask Yingying to go with him. Instead, he walked to the corner, picked up the white fox that was lying there with an aloof attitude, and put it on his neck. He wrapped his tail around it, and the white fox understood what he meant and reluctantly retracted its head into its fur.
After Boss Zhou got into the car, the female detective said with some surprise:
"Mr. Zhou, it's already hot today."
"I just watched the news. The cold front has returned. It's even snowing in the Northeast."
"Okay, let's go to the Coastal Community now. There is a female resident living alone who has met with misfortune. At the same time, this is the only case where the perpetrator has left semen at the scene. This has never happened before."
"Shouldn't we go to the singing star?"
"She has already left Tongcheng to catch the next announcement."
"You have a really strong heart."
The female detective was driving, and not long after she got on the elevated road, her cell phone rang. After answering the call, the female detective immediately rang the alarm, then turned around and drove in the opposite direction, and went down again from the elevated road that she had just gotten on.
"Mr. Zhou, I just received a report. An hour ago, a 30-year-old female victim was assaulted in Shuicheng Apartment. The same method and process were used."
"Well, drive slowly, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
“It’s urgent.”
"No, you still have to drive carefully."
Boss Zhou really meant well. You know, if there was a car accident, he wouldn't die anyway, but it's hard to say about the female detective who was driving.
"After the victim reported the case, he committed suicide by jumping off the building."
"What?"
Zhou Ze was a little surprised. After all, the perpetrator just touched it and didn't really go in. From the current open perspective, in fact, although it may be morally incorrect to say so, it is at least more acceptable than actually doing that.
"The victim had been sexually assaulted several years ago, and was able to re-enter society and start a new life after receiving treatment from a psychologist. This time, although she did not... it was probably because the old psychological trauma was reopened, so she chose to commit suicide.
When I first started working in the industry, I worked on her case, a rapist who was sent to prison. So I had a deep impression of her. "
Boss Zhou stopped talking and opened the car window.
"You can smoke. I don't mind."
"Thanks."
I lit a cigarette.
Just finished smoking,
The car has already entered this apartment complex.
The outside was already crowded with onlookers, and the police had set up a cordon. At the same time, the body had been placed and covered with a layer of white cloth, but not far ahead, there was a glaring pool of blood.
The female detective has gone to discuss the case with her colleagues.
Zhou Ze stood alone on the periphery, looking around silently.
He didn't go to see the body, not because he couldn't bear to do so, but because he felt it was unnecessary. He was not a criminal investigation major, so there was really no need for him to go through all these twists and turns.
"Any feelings?"
Zhou Ze asked.
Of course, I was asking about my white scarf.
"No."
"oh."
Zhou Ze didn't feel anything either. He didn't sense any ghost or demonic aura here.
but,
Boss Zhou patted his scarf slightly.
road:
"It's getting hot, so please loosen the bandage a little."
The scarf is loose.
But it still feels hot.
"It's still hot."
soon,
A hint of coolness came over me.
The hair is no longer hot, but has a refreshing effect and may even repel mosquitoes.
Hey,
Now Boss Zhou finally understood why the little boy always liked to use the silly mink as a scarf. These monsters even have built-in switches for cooling and heating.
Zhou Ze did not stay downstairs for too long. He walked over and wanted to go upstairs to take a look. The corridor and the elevator were naturally not closed because there were many residents in this building. But when Zhou Ze walked out of the elevator, he saw two policemen standing at a door. This should be the victim's home.
When the two policemen at the door saw Zhou Ze, they looked a little strange, but when Zhou Ze gestured that he wanted to go in, they did not stop him and let Zhou Ze go in.
I guess it’s because I’ve been to many sceneries with Lao Zhang in the past, so the police here know me.
The room was very clean, with a set layout and everything was tidy.
After Boss Zhou walked in, he saw several policemen taking samples and filming the scene. The only thing Boss Zhou noticed was a wet mark on the bed.
A policeman was taking samples there, very carefully.
This should be what the murderer left behind...
Boss Zhou bent down.
Hold your breath.
Close your eyes.
Move closer to the bed sheet.
Then he straightened up again.
Whispered:
"Do you smell it?"
"I held my breath too," the white fox replied.
"I'll let you smell it."
"I'm not a dog."
"You can smell it if you want."
After that,
Boss Zhou closed his eyes again, held his breath, and moved closer to the bed sheet.
The policeman who was taking samples nearby looked at Boss Zhou strangely, but since he was allowed into the crime scene, he must be from the police station, so he didn't say anything.
Stand up straight again.
Zhou Ze asked:
“You smell it?”
“I smell it.”
"Find the scent, where is he."
"I'm not a dog."
"But I don't believe your nose is any better than a dog's."
The white fox seemed a little depressed.
As a five-tailed demon fox,
He was actually being used as a police dog by the man in front of me!
"Go ahead."
Zhou Ze urged.
No matter what happens, try to simplify it if possible. Let's not talk about evidence first and find the perpetrator first. Boss Zhou doesn't have the energy to seriously analyze the criminal's psychological problems and so on.
The white fox was silent.
"I'm asking you a question?"
The white fox remained silent.
"Can't track him? I say, let's finish this sooner so we can go back sooner. Do you think I want to waste time here?"
This kind of game of helping the police solve cases might be a very exciting experience for many town explorers, but Boss Zhou felt like vomiting after the experience because of Lao Zhang.
At this time, Zhou Ze's cell phone rang. It was Lin Ke's number.
"Hello."
"Boss."
It’s Lao Zhang’s voice.
"Boss, I just kept calling your phone, but it kept saying it was turned off. My phone just ran out of battery, so I used Lin Ke's phone to call you."
"Yeah, I just charged my phone."
"Boss, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"No misunderstanding, really, don't think too much."
"But this is impossible. Boss, how could you do this? It's impossible, impossible."
"I told you not to think too much, really."
Boss Zhou wondered why Lao Zhang was so tactless today. It wasn't the first time that he had blocked his phone number, so why was he so nagging this time
You know it, I know it, and we all know it in our hearts. It would be so embarrassing to repeat it over and over again.
"Boss, it's impossible. I don't believe it. I don't believe it."
"Okay, that's it. Be careful over there and come back soon after you're done. Bye."
Zhou Ze hung up the phone.
Then he stretched out his hand and pinched the white fox's buttocks on his neck.
The feel is not as plump as that of the Corgi.
But very delicate.
"Tell me, do you smell the location?"
The white fox said weakly:
“I smell it.”
"Where?"
Boss Zhou loosened his collar. Next, everything became easy. He prepared to catch the man.
"In this room."
Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment.
In this very room
Boss Zhou's eyes subconsciously fell on the young policeman who was still taking samples.
Yoho,
I can't tell.
Hidden deep enough.
It’s enough to make a suspense TV series.
Boss Zhou bent down.
He leaned his face towards the young policeman,
Opening his mouth:
"It's you..."
"It's you..." White Fox.
"What?" The young policeman was a little confused.
Boss Zhou felt as if he had been electrocuted.
He stood up again.
road:
"What did you just say?"
"It's you."
"You have a problem with your nose I can take you to the vet."
Just then,
Zhou Ze heard the noise coming from the door.
It was the voice of the female detective and a male police officer talking:
"Deputy Captain, believe me, it couldn't have been that bookstore owner. It's impossible. The captain assured me over the phone again and again that it couldn't have been that person who did it.
I suspected him before, but before this incident happened, I was observing him outside his bookstore. He was sitting inside the bookstore at the time, so he didn’t have the time to commit the crime! "
“But how come the DNA comparison results are consistent
The captain is not here, so without investigation, you have no right to speak. By the way, where is he now? Have you brought him here? Detain him first and ask him about the situation clearly."
“… …” Zhou Ze.
