Criminal evidence

It was 8 o'clock when Shen Changyan went downstairs in the morning.

He received a call last night from the bureau. Xiao Ke told him that the body of the missing woman had been found, and that the person and the car sank into the river together, and now the rescue team is organizing the salvage.

Shen Changyan held the phone receiver in a daze for about 5 minutes, and after answering "Got it", he went back to his room and continued to sleep.

Lu Qinghe had already put on his clothes, and felt strange seeing the other party's behavior, so he asked him, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"No." Shen Changyan replied decisively.

It wasn't until breakfast time the next morning that he also sat on the dining table on time, and when he was preparing the meal with Shen's parents, the weird atmosphere around him slowly began to spread over the dining table.

At that moment, Lu Qinghe was restless beside Shen Changyan.

Shen's mother didn't know the inside story, she was naturally happy that the children were willing to stay at home, so she enthusiastically added a bowl of hot porridge to Shen Changyan and Lu Qinghe.

"Why did you suddenly stay at home to eat today? Did you eat too much food outside and got tired of eating?"

"There are so many tricks outside, how could it be possible to get tired of eating." Shen Changyan pointed out.

But no matter how bad his attitude was and how yin and yang his tone was, Father Shen would just eat in silence the whole time and ignored him at all.

Lu Qinghe was trembling, fearing that the table would be lifted by someone reaching out in the next second.

"No matter how delicious the food outside is, it's not clean. It can't compare to that at home. You and Xiao Lu should come back more often if you have nothing to do, so that mother can take care of you."

Shen Changyan sneered and finished the last sip of hot porridge, he put down the bowl, "I will, I don't like to eat food from outside, especially if it's in someone else's bowl, no matter how delicious it smells, it's their stuff, don't eat it yourself If you can't control your own appetite and end up making a show of yourself, then the loss outweighs the gain."

After Shen Changyan finished speaking, his eyes fell on Shen's father who was buried in his meal in front of him. He raised his brows slightly and smiled deliberately, "Are you right? Dad."

Father Shen finally raised his head, but he didn't speak, only looked at him with a serious face.

It is rare for Shen Changyan to have the time to face up to the existence of his parents.

Although he usually doesn't laugh a lot, his smile is actually pretty. It's not the kind of sunshine. Instead, he sees through the world, with contempt, with a high indifference.

When he smiled, his brows would be raised slightly, and instead of narrowing his eyes, they would open wider.

Shen Changyan and Shen's father stared at each other for a long time, until Shen's father couldn't hold on and lost.

The other party finally got up, looked a little tired but still said in a stern tone, "Eating so much food can't stop your mouth, since you don't like outside food, go home and eat, Dad will smoke more in the future time to accompany you."

"I'm almost 27, Dad, I don't need your company."

Maybe it was needed in the past, but that was in the past. Shen Changyan is not too old to live without his parents now, not to mention some feelings and some companionship. If they are missing, they are missing and cannot be made up.

"You don't need it, someone else does."

"You're right, if you have time, you should spend more time with my mother." Shen Changyan also finished eating, wiped his mouth with a tissue, then pulled Lu Qinghe to stand up and said, "Go to work together in Dad's car today, Dad, You won't be inconvenient."

Lu Qinghe, "..."

Lu Qinghe: Shen Changyan, I beg you to be normal.

"Take my car?"

"Is it inconvenient for Dad?"

"What about the car I bought for you?"

Before Shen Changyan could answer, Mother Shen quickly stood up and pushed the father and son out together.

"You want to sit, of course it's convenient for your father."

Shen's mother didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Shen Changyan let go, she thought that the relationship between the father and son could be eased, so she hurried forward to smooth things over.

And Lu Qinghe naturally knew the reason why Shen Changyan did this.

Although there is no valid evidence to support his suspicion, even before going to bed last night, people who were anxious and at a loss because of whether they should believe it or not, after sleeping like this, they seem to have made up their minds.

The notification call in the middle of the night should not be enough to make Shen Changyan change his attitude to such an extent.

So what reason is left?

Lu Qinghe carefully followed Shen Changyan out of the house.

The tall man who had had an unpleasant encounter with him in the Dingzhou hotel before was already waiting outside the door, and he was standing outside the driver's seat of the black car that Father Shen was exclusively seated in.

Father Shen naturally wanted to sit in the back seat. He got into the car first, followed by Lu Qinghe who hesitated for half a second, then reacted quickly and rushed to the co-pilot seat.

When Shen Changyan slowly walked around to the rear seat of the main driver's seat, he paused, waiting for the tall man to reach out to pull the car door for him, when he suddenly squeezed the calloused palm.

"Where were you last Tuesday night and Wednesday after 18:[-]?"

The tall man replied without blinking, "At home."

There was a hint of danger in Shen Changyan's eyes, just now he clearly felt and saw the scratches between the tall man's fingers.

Very light, but noticeable.

"Are you at home at these two times?"

"Correct."

"So sure? Speaking of what happened last Tuesday and last Wednesday, if you ask me now, I have to seriously think about where I was and what I did during these two time periods. How can you be so sure that you must at home?"

"Master, I usually have nothing to do, except for work, I am at home. Shen Ting leaves work on time at 17:30 every day, and then I will drive him home. After 18:[-], I basically rest by myself, because every day It’s all about repeating the same life, so there’s no need to think like you.”

Shen Changyan smiled and nodded, "It makes sense."

Because they stayed outside the car door for too long, Father Shen had no choice but to urge, "What are you doing? What time is it, are you still leaving?"

Lu Qinghe looked down at the time, it was almost 8:30.

Shen Changyan shrugged helplessly, he let go of the tall man's hand, opened the car door, bent down and got into the car, "Sorry, I have a case, so I asked him a few more questions."

"case?"

"Yes, the body was just picked up from the river last night." Shen Changyan did not hide anything, and even talked to Father Shen enthusiastically, "It was handled as a disappearance case before. According to the previous investigation and analysis, we have confirmed the deceased There was an extramarital affair, and the cause of death was likely to be caused by a conflict with the person of the extramarital affair."

"This matter has something to do with your Uncle He?"

"It's okay." Shen Changyan said relaxedly, "It's just that after arriving at the deceased's office yesterday, the colleague of the other party told me that there would often be a tall man driving a black car to pick up the deceased from work at a foreign trade company. From the description, I feel that this person is a bit like my Uncle He, so I just asked a few more questions."

Father Shen's expression was not very good-looking, but he still had a preaching tone, "Don't doubt things without evidence."

"You are right, I was suspicious, but this case should be investigated soon, whether it is from the gray car that the deceased was driving, or from the mouth of the colleague in the deceased's office. The suspect who came to take all the belongings of the deceased..."

Everything will come to light soon.

-

After arriving at the Municipal Bureau, Shen Changyan was uncharacteristically indifferent to the content of the case.

He just sat in the office with a gloomy expression, and rested his forehead with his hands, listening to the other team members report the current progress of the case.

Lu Qinghe ran up and down to sort out the materials, and he even ran to the forensic room several times, urging the report extremely urgently.

"Asphyxiation?"

"Yes, strangle him to death first, and then throw people and cars into the river."

"But the car sank to the bottom, it is not easy to float again, how did you find out?"

"There was a child swimming in the village, who got up and said there was a car under the river, and then the old man who was farming saw that there were tire marks in his cornfield. He was worried that someone accidentally fell into the river, so he came to the bureau. Called the police."

The person talking to Lu Qinghe was Qi Ming.

Neither of them had been able to get the first-hand and most detailed autopsy report from the forensic room, so they went upstairs and downstairs together.

The husband of the deceased also went to the Public Security Bureau to identify the body as soon as he found the body. At present, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, and it is the missing woman.

It stands to reason that now is the most urgent period of investigation. Finding the extramarital affair partner who is still lurking in the dark is already a top priority. Shen Changyan's passive and sabotage attitude will inevitably arouse criticism and dissatisfaction from other team members.

Lu Qinghe was about to help explain a few words, but suddenly Xiao Ke strode up from the stairs.

He shouted out of breath, "Big news, big news, just now, someone came to the bureau and surrendered himself."

Lu Qinghe froze in place.

When Lu Qinghe rushed to the interrogation room in a hurry, Shen Changyan had already prepared the materials and sat at the desk of the interrogation table, ready to cross-examine.

There was no expression on his face, and his body was no longer as tall and straight as before. He looked a little tired.

The moment Lu Qinghe entered the door, seeing the tall man who was in the same car with them in the morning, sitting with his head down behind the desk in the interrogation room, even he couldn't accept it for a moment.

Not to mention Shen Changyan.

"You said you killed people, why?"

It wasn't until Lu Qinghe took the notebook and sat down next to Shen Changyan that the man let out a long breath, and he started to make routine inquiries.

The tall man replied mechanically, "Extramarital affairs, she wants too much, I can't afford it, I'm afraid she will make things worse, so I just kill her."

Shen Changyan: "..."

Lu Qinghe shook his hand worriedly.

Shen Changyan seemed to have been trying to calm down his emotions. His right little finger kept shaking, but in the end he couldn't control it, so he jumped up from his seat.

The stack of documents in his hand that was used to browse was almost smashed on the tall man's face.

Shen Changyan's cursing voice became hoarse uncontrollably. He seemed to have to use all his strength to keep from losing control in this place.

"Are you having an affair?"

He repeated, "Are you sure it's your affair?"

Tall and unmarried, tall and ugly with a fierce face, he is not the type to attract women at all, let alone such lively, cheerful and charming women.

In addition, in the early years, he had a son with cerebral palsy by his side, who couldn't take care of himself in daily life, so he needed a lot of care from him.

Shen Changyan knew that he had no time to engage in extramarital affairs.

"So the car that our police found was bought for her by you, and the gold and silver jewelry and even the real estate under your name were also provided by you. Have you collected enough medical expenses for your son this month? Where did you get the money to support the woman? ?”

"It was stolen from your house." The tall man still replied indifferently, as if he was stating something completely unrelated to himself, "Shen Ting has helped me a lot over the years, so I took advantage of this relationship to , I stole something from his name to pretend to be my own, and then used it to trick that woman, you know, I haven't touched a woman for many years, and I also have normal needs, I must find someone who can be with me Go to bed, and obedient woman, but she caused me too much trouble."

Shen Changyan took a deep breath, "You said you were afraid that she would make a big fuss, but you are only a driver yourself, even if she makes a fuss, you would lose a job at most. Is this reason enough for you to kill someone by hand? ?”

"Master..." He paused, then changed his words, "Comrade policeman, you may not understand that this job is all I have. If I lose my job, including my children, we will all lose hope of life."

"Then you won't lose hope of life if you kill someone?"

"You don't understand." The tall man suddenly raised his head, and he looked into Shen Changyan's eyes, "I'm protecting everyone."

And that includes you too.

Shen Changyan.

When I came home that night, the atmosphere at the table was still sombre.

After Shen's mother heard about the tall man, she couldn't help being surprised. She carefully picked fishbone for Shen's father, while chatting with everyone.

"I really can't see it. He Ming usually looks quite honest, but he would do such a thing."

Shen's father didn't say a word, Shen Changyan didn't say a word, Lu Qinghe continued with a "haha" laugh in order to avoid embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, after all, people are not judged by their appearance."

"It's really a waste of our family to take care of him like this for more than [-] years, and even steal your father's things and give them to other women. It's a good thing that the case is being handled by our parents. If it is someone else, we will grow up." Twenty mouths can't speak clearly."

Lu Qinghe smiled dryly, "Yes, it's a good thing we are doing it, Auntie, this fish is delicious, so you should eat two more bites."

Shen's mother smiled and tasted the fish, and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember that He Ming had a sick son, he was already in his teens, and his mother died of dystocia when he was just born. He Ming has been dragging him all these years, and his life is so difficult, if his father commits another crime and is arrested, what will the child do?"

Father Shen swallowed a mouthful of rice with difficulty, and he put down his chopsticks, "I plan to take over that child, and our family will subsidize his medical expenses and living expenses. No matter what, He Ming is willing to surrender himself. This is the first step of repentance. What's more, he has been in our family these years, he has worked hard without credit, and children are always innocent, so we can't be so heartless."

"En." Shen's mother kindly replied, "Come on, we also have a lot of these chopsticks at home. Anyway, I am usually bored at home. I take the child to raise flowers, plant grass and so on. It is good to have a pair of chopsticks. companion."

With a "snap", Shen Changyan suddenly slapped the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the dining table.

Not to mention Lu Qinghe who was sitting closest to him, even the two elders across the table were terrified.

Lu Qinghe was afraid that he might say something that shouldn't be said, so he quickly grabbed the person's hand and pressed down, "Shen Changyan, don't..."

"I'm full." After he finished speaking, he kicked the dining chair away and rushed upstairs aggressively.

Mother Shen was surprised, and quickly opened her mouth to shout, "Longyan, you have only eaten a few bites, and you will be hungry tonight. Today, mother specially asked auntie to cook your favorite fish. You..."

"It's okay, auntie, Shen Chang said to him, he is too tired to deal with cases these days, please leave him alone, I'll bring him some food upstairs to eat."

Lu Qinghe took Shen Changyan's almost untouched bowl, picked some vegetables and fish for him and threw it into the bowl, and was about to go upstairs, when he suddenly saw Shen Changyan coming down the stairs in full clothes into the living room .

"Long words." Mother Shen called softly.

Shen Changyan said, "I agreed to accept the child to live in our home, but it was not because he was pitiful, but to atone for his sins. Although the child was sick, he had always had a happy family. He had a father who loved him, but All of this has been completely destroyed from today, from this moment."

Both Shen Changyan and Lu Qinghe understood that the tall man was probably just an accomplice, someone who was instructed to commit crimes.

But even so, he did commit the crime. Even if Shen Changyan was able to catch the mastermind in the end, the big and tall man could not escape the punishment of the law.

After Shen Changyan finished speaking, he left the house quickly, and Lu Qinghe put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand to catch up with him.

"Shen Changyan, calm down, you know, if Uncle He insists that he did this from the beginning to the end, in fact, it is really difficult for you to pin the crime on other people, because so far , the object of suspicion in your heart, he is completely invisible in all links, no one has seen him at all, even the misappropriation of property under his name, that part has perfect reasons until now, and can be directly grafted into On the body of another person to take the blame."

"Lu Qinghe, the skynet is restored, it's sparse but not leaky."

"Yes, but Shen Changyan, have you really decided that you want to do it yourself and put that person who escaped from the Skynet back into the net again?"

Shen Changyan paused, he stopped, turned his head and glared at Lu Qinghe, "Lu Qinghe, what do you mean, you are a policeman, you said this to let me pretend not to know and let him go?"

"I didn't mean that, I..."

"Yes, I just want to put him in the net again. Not only do I want to do it, I also want to do it myself. I want him to pay for everything he has done, even if he is my father, even if it ends up in the end." I will be found, and even if I can no longer be a policeman, I will never defend anyone who dares to trample on human life and despise the dignity of the law out of selfish desires."

This is the duty and mission of being a police officer.

Lu Qinghe, I know you understand, so no matter what happens, don't defend me.
