Original sin

Shen Shen didn't speak, his gaze was looking out of the car window, he was thinking about the conversation with Hou Xiaoqiang just now.

A cigarette was almost burnt out, so he put the cigarette butt in the car ashtray.

"Ouyang, can I get Hou Xiaoqiang's last month's call records?" Shen Shen asked softly.

Ouyang Nana's eyes widened. This is obviously against the rules. To check a lawyer's call records without any evidence. If Hou Xiaoqiang finds out about this matter, what consequences will there be? Ouyang Nana dare not imagine.

After all, Hou Xiaoqiang is not a criminal suspect now, she can only use her personal relationship to get Hou Xiaoqiang's call records, and this kind of thing is not airtight, it is easy for others to know, and she knows Hou Xiaoqiang It is also related to the mobile company, and she is considering whether she should take such a risk.

Seeing that Ouyang Nana didn't speak, Shen Chen also knew that his request was a little too much.

Luo Sen said, "Shen Da, do you suspect that he is the murderer?"

Shen Shen shook his head: "No, I suspect that he may have found his brother, at least he should know his brother's whereabouts."

Ouyang Nana was stunned: "How is it possible? Didn't he say that he has never been able to find his brother? And the regret he showed should not be pretending."

Rosen was also very puzzled.

Shen Chen said: "Although he repeatedly emphasized that he has not found the whereabouts of his brother, but you said that the regret he showed is not pretending, but in my opinion, it is very untrue. You also said that what he showed is regret. Do you think it's normal for him to feel regret in that state?"

Rosen recalled: "It's really not normal. On the contrary, the emotion he showed when he described his brother being taken away by the adopted people was relatively more real. It was a kind of real sadness. Yes, yes, he didn't It should be regret, it should be sadness.”

Shen Shen nodded: "He really shouldn't be regretting, but endless sadness, but later when he mentioned that he didn't find his brother's whereabouts, he didn't show any sadness, so I wonder if he has found his brother, Or at least he already knew the whereabouts of his brother. Otherwise, his performance would not be justified emotionally."

Ouyang Nana didn't notice this before, she didn't expect Shen Shen to observe so carefully.But she still couldn't figure it out, even if Hou Xiaoqiang had found his own brother, what did it have to do with this case?She still didn't have the courage to investigate Hou Xiaoqiang's call records.

"Old classmate, even if he finds his younger brother, what does it have to do with us?"

Rosen said: "It's hard to say what is the relationship, but judging from his intentional concealment of this matter, there must be some connection. Think about it, a person who has been separated from his brother for nearly 20 years has found himself in this Isn't the only family member in the world a big event in life, a great event? Such a thing is worth celebrating, gratifying, but he wants to hide it, why?"

Ouyang Nana seemed to understand a little bit: "Yes, if it's really like what you said, it would be abnormal for him to have found his own brother but want to hide it."

Shen Shen said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. If he is really hiding this matter, then there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that his brother's recent situation is not good, and if people know it, it may give him status. The second possibility is that his younger brother got into some kind of trouble, which is not so easy to solve, or even hidden. I can't think of any other reason for him to do this. If It’s the first type, so it’s okay to say, if it’s the second type, contact us about the case we’re handling now, if it’s really related to our case, do you think he dares to tell us about it in front of us? ?”

Ouyang Nana didn't expect Shen Shen to think so much, she said: "Okay, then I'll get someone to check his call records right away. But you also know that I can only ask my acquaintances to check, there are drawbacks to this , Under the current circumstances, we cannot casually use the resources of the police.”

Shen Chen waved his hand: "No need, I didn't think about it just now, it's really hard to investigate his call records at this time, he is a lawyer himself, and he should have accumulated a wide range of contacts with Feng Shuo these years, Once you go to check his call records and he finds out about it, and if you get hold of it, it will have a great impact on you in the future, and we will go from active to passive, so let's do this first."

At noon, the three casually ate a bowl of flour outside, then Shen Shen proposed to meet a friend and asked Ouyang Nana to go back to the Bridge City Bureau first, while he asked Luo Sen to drive to Dongshan.

"Shen Da, who are you going to meet?" Luo Sen stopped the car at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.

"I just want to walk around casually, there is no need to go back to the game with her. By the way, have you been to Bridge City before?"

Rosen shook his head. He said that he had been to Bridge City a few times, but each time he came because of the case. Well, yesterday afternoon I stayed at Xishan Bridge with Shen Chen for a whole afternoon. If it was considered fun, then he only played it once.

"Dawn at Dongshan is one of the eight major landscapes of Bridge City. There is a Kuixing Pavilion on the top of Dongshan, where you can see the rising sun so close that it seems within reach."

"It's afternoon now, besides, do you really want to play?"

Shen Chen glanced at him, and then began to climb up the stairs. Although Luo Sen was not in the mood to play, he still followed Shen Shen closely, and he heard Shen speak.

"Didn't you find that your nerves have been too tense recently? Not only you, but all of us are tense. It won't do any good to continue like this."

Although Luo Sen didn't speak, he knew that what Shen Shen said was very reasonable.

Shen Shen sighed: "One piece and one relaxation is the way of civil and martial arts. Too rigid is easy to break, and too tight is easy to break. It is not a bad thing to relax properly. Besides, we have not gained anything in the past two days in Bridge City, and you I feel that there is something wrong with Hou Xiaoqiang, but he is a lawyer, he is very familiar with the law, and even understands our police investigation methods very well. Do you think he will easily leave us a loophole? I want to find out from him. Evidence is not an easy task. I asked Captain Ouyang to check his call records just now because I was eager to solve the case, and I ignored the most important question. Even if there is something wrong with him, how can I use my mobile phone to contact him? Well, or he doesn't just have a mobile phone number at all, does he? If Ouyang really listens to me and does that, I believe Hou Xiaoqiang will receive the news within half a day, and at that time he will probably tell us immediately Make a counterattack. Don't look at his very cooperative appearance today, once his face is torn, his revenge will be like a storm."

Rosen was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. The other party was a powerful lawyer, and revenge from a lawyer was no joke.

"I almost killed Ouyang." When Shen Chen said this, his face was somewhat apologetic.

Rosen didn't speak, he really didn't know what to say at this time.

But Shen Shen quickly adjusted his mood, and he said: "So I think we should relax, take you to climb Dongshan Mountain, get close to nature, and let our tense nerves rest."

Rosen smiled: "Sounds like the truth."

Arriving at the Banshan Pavilion, Shen Shen sat down. Standing outside the pavilion, Luo Sen felt the mountain wind blowing: "It turns out that you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Bridge City from here."

Shen Chen said: "Yes, this is the second time I've come, the first time was with my father." Having said that, Shen Shen didn't continue talking, Luo Sen knew that Shen Chen must have thought of his father , he said: "Shen Da, judging from what we have so far, Uncle Shen should still be alive, and it shouldn't be long before you can reunite."

Shen Chen smiled at him. He also knew that his father was still alive, but he also knew that the reason why his father didn't contact them was because he knew that he was always in danger, and he was even worried that he would cause harm to his family. How can you be steady?He also hopes from the bottom of his heart that his father will be well and that his family can have a happy ending.

But is it really possible?he does not know.

"The murderer will commit crimes again in a couple of days." Shen Chen said suddenly, Luo Sen turned to look at Shen Shen, Shen Shen said: "The murderer commits crimes in a regular way, the last time he shot the target was three victims , it should be the same this time."

"No wonder, when we parted just now, you asked Captain Ouyang to get back all the files of similar divorce cases handled by Feng Shuo. You wanted to find out the murderer's next target."

Shen Shen wryly smiled: "But it's not easy. Feng Shuo has been a lawyer for so many years, and he has handled at least dozens of divorce cases like this. Even the police can't send so many people to protect these people. So The difficulties we face are quite big, and I have a task for you."

Rosen hurriedly said: "Shen Da, you just need to explain, I promise to complete the task."

"Keep an eye on Hou Xiaoqiang secretly. I will tell Ouyang that you have returned to Lincheng."

"Ok."

"You can go down the mountain in a while, rent a car, and I will pay for it."

Their case-handling funds are not much, and this time they are assisting the Qiaocheng police to solve the case. The money is supposed to come from Qiaocheng, but Shen Shen has his own concerns. If his judgment is wrong, then this This matter is not humane, and the money is not much anyway, and he can still bear it.

Rosen wasn't hypocritical, so he accepted the matter.

"Actually, when I found out that Hou Xiaoqiang might have found his own brother, but concealed the fact, I had a bold guess, but I didn't say it in front of Captain Ouyang."

Rosen became interested all of a sudden. He knew that his captain was very smart. Since he said that, he must have thought of something important.

"Shen Da, can you explain it clearly in one breath, isn't it too much for you to tantalize people like this?"

Shen Chen gave him a white look: "Can't you use your own brain?"

Rosen really squinted his eyes and thought about it. After a while, he opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that the murderer is his younger brother, and he has been covering for his younger brother?"

Shen Chen smiled, he really had such a guess, but guesses cannot be used as evidence, which is why he asked Luo Sen to keep an eye on Hou Xiaoqiang, if it was what he thought, then Hou Xiaoqiang should be able to His younger brother contacted them, and the two even met each other. The reason why the murderer managed to escape the police's sight without leaving any clues at the scene should be due to the help of Hou Xiaoqiang, his brother who is a lawyer.

Of course, he also knew that his guess was a bit crazy, and Ouyang Nana might think it was a little unrealistic if he said it, but bold assumptions and careful verification have always been Shen's style, and Rosen also recognized Shen's guess.

"Shen Da, don't worry, as long as Hou Xiaoqiang really contacts his brother, I will report to you immediately." Luo Sen couldn't stay still while speaking, and there was an urge to try.

Shen Chen also stopped walking up the mountain: "Okay, I see you are excited, so, we will go down the mountain now, and you go to rent a car to keep an eye on Hou Xiaoqiang, and I will go back to the Qiaocheng Bureau. Captain Ouyang should be vaccinated, so as not to make us very passive when we get it. But you have to be careful, that is, Hou Xiaoqiang has a strong sense of anti-investigation, so you must be careful when you stare at him. Let him find out, otherwise you might not see anything."

Rosen said with a smile: "Just keep your heart in your stomach, he will definitely not be able to find me, don't forget, when it comes to stalking in our team, no one dares to recognize the second if I recognize the second." one."

Shen Shen nodded. This is indeed true. Rosen is very good at stalking, and he has been professionally trained, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Shen Chen drove back to Qiaocheng Bureau alone, and he went directly to Ouyang Nana's office.

"Hey, where's Ronaldinho?" Ouyang Nana asked curiously.

Shen Chen closed the door: "I have something to communicate with you first."

Ouyang Nana saw Shen Shen's serious face, she hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

"I sent Luo Sen to watch Hou Xiaoqiang, but only the two of us know about it, and you, Team Liu, can't say anything about it."

Ouyang Nana nodded, but she was a little confused: "Okay, then you can say that he has something urgent to go back to Lincheng, but I still don't understand why you did this?"

"Judging from the murderer's last shot, Luo Shishu probably won't be the only victim this time."

Ouyang Nana is a smart person, Shen Shen said she was clear: "You suspect that Hou Xiaoqiang may be the murderer, and you asked Luo Sen to stare at him because you want to catch him?"

Shen Shen didn't expect Ouyang Nana to think so, but although Ouyang Nana couldn't think of a deeper level, it was almost reasonable, he nodded.

Ouyang Nana said: "Actually, wouldn't it be better for our people to keep an eye on him? I'm worried that something will happen to Ronaldinho alone."

Shen Shen shook his head: "We just suspect, there is no solid evidence, and Hou Xiaoqiang's identity is very special, if he finds out about this, it will be difficult to keep an eye on him, and Ronaldinho has a wealth of experience in this area , Even if you lose your sight, you will not expose yourself. Telling you is to give you a solid foundation in your heart, and you may be needed to provide support at the first time."

"Old classmate, it's a little strange to say this. You came here to help us, but now it's a good thing that you are leading the charge, and it makes me feel embarrassed. Okay, I know about this, I know about this The fewer people there are, the better, I understand your thoughts, call me in time if you need anything, and I am also ready to support at any time. It’s just that our team Liu may have some ideas.”

"I can't take care of that much anymore. To be honest, we don't want to waste any more, we can't afford it." Shen Chen lit a cigarette while speaking.
