Bai Jin Xi has a new understanding of Han Chen.
Although the first time the two met face to face, he tied her and caused her to take off her arm; after several times, he didn't give her any good looks. But in retrospect, she was also half responsible for this matter - a slap didn't make a sound.
Come to think of it, he's actually quite a character. A few days ago, she listened to colleagues gossip, and the Han family had a background in Beijing and the public security system. Han Chen was born in a large courtyard, but he didn't want Beijing's bright future. He didn't want to be a young expert at the Ministry of Public Security, but wanted to be an ordinary criminal police officer at the local grassroots level.
However, he could still see some of the behavior of the young master. If you don't know about other aspects, you just look at clothes and smoking. And what he talks and does is actually quite rude.
However, Bai Jin Xi's impression of him has changed. One is that on the night when the two of them hunted down the criminal together, although he ignored her before, he immediately gave her a helping hand after knowing that she was afraid of heights. It turns out that he is not a hard-hearted person.
The second change is that he helped her solve the case the day before yesterday. The point of view is concise and sharp, and the attitude is focused and calm. Of course, such a rape case may only reveal his full talents, but Bai Jin Xi will also treat him differently.
Therefore, in Bai Jin Xi's heart, the unpleasantness and vindictiveness he had with him at first vanished as the case progressed.
—
at sunset.
Bai Jin Xi is sitting in a van, eating chicken drumsticks.
In front of her are six monitors. They monitor the gates, workshops, and dormitories of the Bluestar Machinery Factory respectively.
The suspect has been identified. In order not to alarm the snakes, they have launched a 24-hour surveillance on "him". As soon as there is evidence, or "he" has new criminal trends, arrest people immediately.
Today, Bai Jin Xi and another detective, Xiao Qi, are on duty. When Xiao Qi went to buy water, Bai Jin Xi was the only one who watched.
As night gradually fell, Bai Jin Xi finished the lunch, stretched back, moved his muscles and bones, and continued to stare intently.
"Crash", the door of the compartment was pulled open, someone stepped on it, and brought in a hot air outside.
Bai Jin Xi didn't turn her head back, "I'm back." She grabbed the plastic lunch box in front of her and handed it back, "Help me throw it away."
After waiting for two seconds, the lunch box was picked up.
The sound of the compartment door being opened and closed came from behind, Bai Jin Xi felt that the smell of the food in the car dissipated a lot, making her feel much more comfortable.
She stretched her hand back again: "Where's my milk tea?"
After waiting for a long time, it was not handed to her. Her fingers hooked again: "Hurry up, hands and feet are so slow." Just as she was about to turn back, she heard a low and indifferent voice: "No."
Bai Jin Xi immediately turns her head.
Han Chen.
He was wearing a black polo shirt and grey slacks today. The lighting in the car was relatively poor, making his face look a little hazy, but his eyes became more and more inky.
Bai Jin Xi: "... Han Shen, you're here. I thought it was Xiao Qi just now." That's why you run errands.
Han Chen showed no expression, sat down in the chair behind her, and then glanced at her: "Go and pour me a glass of water."
Bai Jin Xi: "..."
Sure enough, how could he be sent in vain
There was a large bucket of mineral water in the corner of the carriage. She stood up silently, poured a glass and handed it to him.
He took it and drank slowly. Bai Jin Xi noticed that his gesture of holding the cup is very gentle, his slender fingers are lightly clasped on the wall of the cup, and he has a calm and free demeanor. And although he drank slowly, he was obviously extremely thirsty, and a glass of water quickly bottomed out. Bai Jin Xi glanced at him and saw that his sweat had soaked a large area of his clothes, and his trouser legs were stained with mud. Apparently running outside for quite a while.
Mysterious, really mysterious.
Thinking of the rumors about his unorganized and undisciplined taking leave and disappearing, and of his frequent trips to slums and red-light districts, Bai Jin Xi guesses: what is he looking for, or who is he looking for.
Over the years, I have not given up. Han Shen really has perseverance.
He handed her the empty cup, just in time to meet her scrutinizing eyes.
Since Bai Jin Xi has already cleared away his past suspicions and fought side by side with him, his speech naturally became oily, and he smiled slightly: "Han Shen, is it delicious? Would you like a smaller drink?"
A faint smile flashed in Han Chen's eyes, but his voice was still very light:
"No, let's talk about the case."
At this time, the door of the carriage was opened again, and Xiao Qi came back. Seeing Han Chen, he was also a little surprised, and he immediately became respectful. Bai Jin Xi hands Han Chen a copy of the basic information and begins to explain.
"Chen Lijiang, 27 years old, a first-class forging technician of Bluestar Machinery Factory, worked in the packaging workshop for two years when he first joined the factory. He is single and divorced. His wife Xu Ying is a tour guide. divorce."
All three looked at one of the monitors at the same time. That was Chen Lijiang's home, he just walked into the house after get off work. Wearing a blue overalls, broad shoulders, long arms. That face was unexpectedly handsome.
And the photos in their hands are clearer. Chen Lijiang has a straight face and sharp edges and corners. Double eyelids, deep eyes.
"According to his work evaluation records in the factory, Chen Lijiang usually has a quiet personality, works conscientiously, and is very smart. He can do anything quickly. He is just a little temperamental. Sometimes he likes to drink alone. Workers fought several times. In both cases, he was not on duty, nor did he have an alibi." Bai Jin Xi said softly, "In the surveillance video of the movement route we searched, he was the only one who appeared up to 20 times. Many times. And the route and time highly overlap with the two victims!"
Xiaoqi pointed to another monitor and said, "Chen Lijiang had a house when he got married, but it still belongs to him when he is divorced. Now he sometimes lives at home, sometimes in a dormitory. These are the workers in the same dormitory as him." He Holding the documents in his hand, he read out their names: "Zhang Yuan, Zeng Fangping, Xu Zida. They are all workers in their twenties. Zhang Yuan has a simple and honest personality and a hearty person, and has a good relationship with Chen Lijiang. Xu Zida, a more introverted person, Chen Lijiang doesn't usually have much contact with him; Zeng Fangping, the youngest, just 20, has an introverted personality, but he has the closest relationship with Chen Lijiang and often goes to Chen's house to play. If you want to arrest someone, you can learn more about the situation from these workers. They live in Under the same roof, if Chen Lijiang has any abnormal behavior, how can he see it."
Bai Jin Xi and Han Chen look at the screen at the same time, the workers are tall and strong, but Zeng Fangping is fairer and more handsome. He is talking to his roommate, and at first glance, he looks like a shy and introverted boy.
Bai Jin Xi added, "There is no evidence at the moment, so you can't act rashly. It's just for surveillance, and you must cooperate with the factory leaders. We've told them many times that they must not leak the rumors."
After the communication of the case is over, Bai Jin Xi thinks that Han Chen will leave soon. Unexpectedly, he sat on the spot, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly. Bai Jin Xi and Xiao Qi are a little puzzled, but if the Great God doesn't leave, they can't chase others away. So the three of them stayed silent.
Time passed by, Bai Jin Xi stared at the surveillance screen boredly. Occasionally turning his head, he saw that Han Chen was still sitting there. Through the faint smoke, his outline became more hazy, but his eyebrows became darker. He held the cigarette in his hand and hung it beside the armrest of the chair, occasionally picking it up and taking a breath, the whole person seemed very quiet.
And if he wants to drink water, he will no longer send Bai Jin Xi. He leaned over with the cup himself, bent over to fill it up, and drank it slowly.
The time of the night just passed by.
At twelve o'clock at night, Zhou Xiaozhuan and another colleague came to take over.
Seeing that Han Chen was still there, they were a little surprised. But didn't ask too much. Bai Jin Xi explained some matters to Zhou Xiao Zhuan, and was about to retreat. She yawned and picked up her bag. He secretly glanced at Han Chen from the corner of his eye again—how long is he going to sit here
As a result, he also got up.
He was born tall, and when he got up, he immediately seemed to be very crowded in the carriage. Everyone looked at him.
He looks at Bai Jin Xi: "Are you off work?"
Bai Jin Xi: "...Yes."
He stooped and jumped out of the car, then stood beside it, as if… waiting.
Bai Jin Xi stares blankly at his actions. Zhou Xiaozhuan and a few people behind him had already started to wink. Zhou Xiaozhuan witnessed Xu Sibai eating Han Chenfei's vinegar in the office that day, and he had long since given up his mind. At this moment, pressing his throat, he whispered excitedly and confusedly, "Boss! What's the matter! Why did Han Shen come to pick you up from get off work? I I'm so nervous, do you want to tip off Forensic Doctor Xu?!"
Bai Jin Xi looks back at him: "You really think too much!"
She also jumped out of the car.
Han Chen glanced at her and stepped forward. Bai Jin Xi immediately followed. After walking two steps and getting away from the car, she said, "What's the matter?"
Han Chen bent his fingers and flicked the extinguished cigarette butt into the trash can by the roadside.
"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Help me with errands tonight."
—
The old archives of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is located in an old building in the eastern suburbs of the city. It was already late at night, the sky was thick with clouds, covering half of the bright moon, and the earth was dim.
Bai Jin Xi walks to the door of the archives, then turns to look at the man beside her.
He wears a peaked cap.
The brim of his hat covered his eyes, leaving only the bridge of his nose and chin exposed. Looks more like a killer.
Bai Jin Xi didn't ask any further questions, just led him up the steps and knocked on the door of the duty room.
The old man Zhou on duty has known Bai Jin Xi for a long time. She has a sweet mouth, and can handle any department of the city bureau, and it is convenient to do things. It is estimated that Han Chen has also heard about her reputation these days, so he asked him to help with this.
The old man Zhou looked at them sleepily, a little surprised, and took out the key slowly: "Xiao Bai, are you investigating the case overnight? When you really know how to choose, I just squinted for a while."
Bai Jin Xi smiled "hehe", "Thanks Uncle Zhou, I'll bring you a good cigarette another day."
The door opened, and the old man hummed and walked back to his hut. Bai Jin Xi reaches out and turns on the light, illuminating the silence of the room.
She turned to look at Han Chen.
He took off his hat, threw it on the table, looked up and looked around. I don't know if it was her illusion, but his eyes seemed a little different. Usually, those beautiful eyes are always cold and gloomy. But at this moment, he looked at the filing cabinets in the room, his eyes were calm and focused.
As if that's all he really cares about.
Bai Jin Xi asks, "What are you looking for? Let me help you?"
"You don't have to worry about it." He stepped into the rows of filing cabinets.
Bai Jin Xi didn't try too hard, found a chair and sat down. Looking at his back, he tapped his fingers on the armrest.
It stands to reason that the director is more popular in the city bureau, and he is also highly respected. He didn't look for it. Instead, he looked for her, a soldier who was blind in the dark at night, wearing a hat to hide his appearance, and did not enter the archives through formal channels—it means that he didn't want others to know about it.
If it's done, then she won't ask any more questions.
She sat in the chair for a while, after a busy day, sleepiness struck her. A good detective has the ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere. She raised her eyes and looked around. It was uncomfortable to sleep on a chair. She climbed directly onto the table, curled up, and fell asleep.
—
Han Chen stood in front of the row of filing cabinets "Missing Persons and Unidentified Dead", looked up and picked out a dozen copies first. The cabinets are very narrow and the light is dim. He took these materials and walked to the central reading table.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Bai Jin Xi lying on the table, soundly asleep. She curled up to the right, her face facing him. She is not short, but at this moment the whole person is tightly curled into a ball. Very insecure posture.
Han Chen glanced at her, walked to a chair at the far corner of the table and sat down. Stay away from her and start to read the information.
"Cough... This little white." Old Man Zhou walked in slowly from outside the house, holding the bed blanket in his hand. Han Chen looked up at him and continued to read the documents.
"Even though it's summer, you can't just sleep like this." He put the blanket over Bai Jin Xi, "Young man, watch her."
Han Chen raised his head, where he was facing Bai Jin Xi's face. Looking from this angle, her brows are stretched, her lips are pursed lightly, and her cheeks are slightly chubby. The appearance of sleeping is not as beautiful as the daytime, but a little silly.
"Yeah." He replied softly, "Master, can we smoke here?"
The old man Zhou waved his hand: "Smoke it, just be careful not to light it."
Han Chen tilted his head and nodded, knocked out another one, and handed it to Old Man Zhou. The old man Zhou was not polite, came over and ordered, squinting and starting to puff.
"Good smoke." He clicked his tongue and glanced at the materials that Han Chen brought over, "Who are you looking for? I know every piece of materials in this museum very well. Tell me and I will help you. Look for it, so you don't waste time here."
With a cigarette in his hand, Han Chen was silent for a moment, then replied, "Find a woman."
"Well..." Old Man Zhou squinted and nodded. "In this museum, for decades, there have been 147 missing and unidentified deceased women. Which one are you looking for? What's its name? How old are you? Are there any photos?"
Han Chen turned his head to look at him, took a deep breath, and then replied: "No name, no face, no life or death. She disappeared five years ago, or died, or came to K province from Beijing. Age... should be 22 -30 years old. That's all I know."
Old Man Zhou said with an "ah", "I don't have a name, and I don't know what I look like. How do I find it?" After thinking about it, he said, "For a while, I really can't think of anyone who meets the conditions you mentioned."
Han Chen smiled and replied, "It's fine, thank you. I'll look for it myself." He lowered his head and continued to read.
Old man Zhou probably felt a little uneasy because he didn't help, so he stood beside him and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for? I'll keep an eye out for you in the future."
Han Chen paused while flipping through the documents, and this time he was silent for an extraordinarily long time.
"It's my fiancee," he said quietly.
The old man Zhou let out an "oh" and was suddenly stunned again: "Fiancée? Then why don't you know her name and appearance?"
Han Chen closed his eyes slightly, took another two puffs of cigarettes, and said lightly, "I was injured five years ago, and I can't remember some things."
