Original sin

As soon as Shen Shen arrived in the team early in the morning, he parked the car and saw Fu Hong walking towards him.

"Head, are you okay after get off work this afternoon?" Fu Hong smiled.

Shen Chen thought about what he had promised to treat everyone to a big meal when the 725 case was solved, he smiled: "You set up a place, and call Lao Xiao and the others."

Fu Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled again: "What? Do you think I want you to fulfill your promise? You, too, don't care about your subordinates. Today, Xiao Yang is going to propose marriage. Let us follow along. Join us!"

"Oh? Which Xiao Yang?" Shen Chen really didn't know at all.

"Your internal staff Yang Zheng, head, I have to criticize you for this. You still care about the lives of your subordinates. This is a major event in his life. Whether you can embrace the beautiful woman will depend on tonight. .”

"No, what do you mean by marriage proposal?"

"Well, speaking of it, I really envy these young people nowadays. You can be as romantic as you want. Xiao Yang is going to go downstairs to the girl's company, and use balloons and candles to make a heart-to-heart pattern, and then spread some roses. , and then paired with a piece of beautiful music, to propose to the girl, these things must be done by someone, and someone must be responsible for maintaining order at the scene, right?"

Shen Chen frowned slightly after hearing this: "I'm afraid this is not good? What if the girl doesn't want to at all, wouldn't this put her under arrest? Besides, we are all policemen, so I still feel a bit inappropriate to do this."

Fu Hongbai took a deep look: "The police are not human anymore? We also have emotions, okay? Besides, we don't wear uniforms after get off work, and this is what girls want. Girls said that life is Such a hypocritical opportunity. Are you going or not? If you don’t go, you will fall down. Why are there so many nonsense? People just hope that life can be full of rituals, is it wrong?"

Shen Chen was taken aback by Fu Hong's words. He didn't expect even Fu Hong, an old man, to be so emotional.

But after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a major event in Yang Zheng's life. He smiled wryly: "Okay, okay, let me do it? But I have repeatedly said that I can't disturb the people, I can't violate relevant laws and regulations, and I don't want to do anything. That set of privileges."

"Okay, don't go online, it's settled like this. Xiao Yang is so afraid of you, he should have told you about this matter himself, and he has to go around me." After finishing speaking, Fu Hong turned around. After leaving, he stopped after walking a few steps: "Also, I remember your big meal, we have the final say when we invite you to treat."

Shen Chen came to his office, and Yang Zheng was making tea for him.

Seeing Shen Chen, Yang Zheng was a little embarrassed: "Boss, are you here?"

Shen Chen smiled at him: "You boy, what can't you tell me directly? I'm afraid I'll eat you!"

Yang Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Aren't I afraid of violating discipline?"

"That's not true, but I'm curious, you don't usually look like a romantic person, do you?"

Yang Zheng's handsome face flushed slightly: "This is what she meant. She said she wanted a sense of ceremony, to let her sisters know that our police officers are also very romantic."

Shen Shen nodded, he thought Yang Zheng's girlfriend was quite interesting.

Yang Zheng went out to work, Shen Shen sat down and picked up a file on the table and looked at it. This was a murder case many years ago and it has not been solved. Shen Chen has been researching this case these days. He feels that he Since he is sitting in this seat, it is also part of his job to eliminate backlogs.

He had only been watching for less than 10 minutes when the landline phone on the desk rang.

"Shen Chen? I'm Huang Xinfa!" A serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

The heavy mood is not beautiful in an instant.

"Director Huang, what's the matter?" His tone was very cold.

Huang Xinfa said, "Have you found that diary yet?"

"I'm sure I don't have the diary you asked for at home."

Huang Xinfa said: "We know that you have been secretly investigating your father's case. If you find anything there, I hope you can report it to me in time. I am now in charge of this case. You are a policeman and the captain of the criminal police. Some Discipline, I don’t think I need to talk to you any more, right?”

Shen Shen didn't speak.

Huang Xinfa was a little dissatisfied on the other end of the phone: "Shen Chen, I was talking to you, did you hear me?"

Shen Shen took a deep breath and immediately hung up the phone.

Closing the file, he lit a cigarette. For some reason, he always felt that Huang Xin's caller was not kind, and even seemed to be deliberately targeting himself.What he is most dissatisfied with is that just relying on a so-called report letter seems to have determined his father's death. He believes that his father will not do such a thing. In his heart, his father has always been a Good cop.

And the death of his father should have touched some people's nerves during the investigation of a certain case, so he was dealt such a murderous hand.

At this time, the phone on the table rang a few more times, but Shen Chen didn't answer the phone again.

The office door was pushed open.

Seeing the smoke in the office, Tan Ke frowned and said, "How many cigarettes have you smoked?" While speaking, he walked to the window, opened it, and stood in front of Shen Chen: "You actually hung Huang Xinfa's Telephone?"

Shen Chen still remained silent, Tan Ke smiled, and sat down on the sofa: "I guess you are the only one who dares to hang up on his phone like this, you don't know, he just called me to complain to me when he was so angry."

"So you asked Lai Xingshi to ask the crime?"

"I said you boy, can you speak without thorns? My old Tan didn't offend you. But I really want to say a few words about you. You are too hot-tempered and easy to suffer. I still know Huang Xinfa. He has a dark face, but he is not a bad person. You should know that people from his department are like that, and they will keep a straight face when they have something to do, but I believe his starting point should be to hope to find out about your father's case. "

Tan Ke patted Shen Shen on the shoulder.

Shen Chen was noncommittal, and Tan Ke said, "How are you getting along with that Wang Lu?"

Shen Chen didn't expect that Tan Ke would ask about himself and Wang Lu.

"How about what?" Shen Shen asked subconsciously.

Tan Ke glared at him: "You kid is pretending to be confused, but Xiao Wang is a very good girl. Let me tell you, there are many people who pursue her. If you don't say anything, just save her." There are quite a few suitors, you boy, hurry up, don't let others take the lead. You, you!" Tan Ke pointed at Shen Chen, with a look of hatred: "I have created such a good opportunity for you You don't even cherish it."

Shen Chen was speechless.

Tan Ke sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette: "I heard you got very close to that female reporter?"

The female reporter was talking about Xu Jing, but Shen Shen didn't explain it, and he didn't know how to explain it. What's more, he didn't think much about his personal problems at all.

Tan Keyu earnestly said: "I still think Wang Lu is more suitable for you. They are both policemen. This is like-minded, right? And she can be of great help to your work, you don't deny that? The most important thing, I think You and that female reporter are not the same kind of people, it will be very tiring to walk together."

"Tan Bureau, you are worrying too much. I don't want to think about these things now. The contact between me and that female reporter is just that I need her help for some things, that's all."

Shen Chen really didn't want to listen to Tan Ke's rambling anymore, maybe he would end up talking about things that were nonsense.

Hearing what he said, Tan Ke laughed: "That's right, what's the matter, you didn't miss Wang Lu at all when she returned to the Provincial Department? Do you want me to get her into our bureau through activities? Of course, this It still depends on whether she is willing or not, besides, the provincial department treats her as a treasure, so it is really not easy to get her."

Shen Chen said: "If Bureau Tan is thinking about work, I will support her unconditionally. After all, she is really capable. If Bureau Tan is thinking about my personal problems, then I don't think it is necessary."

"You're an elm bump!" Tan Ke gritted his teeth.

The phone on the table rang again, and it remained silent. Tan Kebai gave him a glance and walked to the phone: "Hello!"

After a while, Tan Ke said "Got it" and hung up the phone.

"Xiao Qiushui called, saying that he had received a call from the police. There was a murder case in Xishan Apartment, and asked if you want to go and have a look together."

Of course Shen Chen is going, for him now there is nothing to interest him except the case, and he is eager to take this opportunity to get rid of Tan Ke's thoughts.

It didn't take long for them to arrive on the scene.

"The deceased was about 26 years old, male, the cause of death was poisoning, and the time of death was about a week ago." Before entering the room, Yu Xiaolin stepped forward and nodded heavily: "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

Luo Sen and the others rushed to the present first, and he replied: "I have found out that the deceased is Tang Jianwei, a senior teacher at the Peak Education and Training Institute, who specializes in mind-expanding training. Chief, Team Xiao, come and take a look."

Hearing what Luo Sen said, both Shen Chen and Xiao Qiushui understood that there must be some important clues at the scene.

The two followed Rosen to the living room. The living room was very spacious, and the corpse was placed on the floor of the living room.

However, there was a carpet on the front of the corpse. The carpet was about two meters long and wide. Shen Shen knelt down and touched it. It was soft to the touch and the texture was exquisite. It should be expensive.

Although the corpse was already a little smelly, it looked well-groomed, with light makeup on the face of the deceased.

The deceased was wearing a navy blue suit with a lake blue shirt inside, a bow tie, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.

The most striking thing is that there are some flowers arranged in an orderly manner beside the corpse. The flowers have withered, but it can still be seen that they are eight lucky bamboos, nine roses and four lilies.

"Is this some kind of ceremony?" Xiao Qiushui asked.

Shen Chen didn't express his opinion. What he thought of was the identity of the deceased, the senior teacher of the summit education and training institution, and then he thought of the female doctor Xiao Zhenqin who had dinner with him last night. Isn't she also a summit education teacher? Someone from a training institution?

"I've checked the language of these flowers. Lucky bamboo represents preciousness, roses represent love, and lilies represent purity," Rosen said.

Shen Shen looked at Rosen: "Then what do you think these flowers represent here?"

Rosen stuck out his tongue, but he didn't think about it.

Yu Xiaolin said: "Is it implying that the deceased betrayed pure love?"

Hearing what Yu Xiaolin said, Xiao Qiushui asked, "You mean the murderer is likely to be a woman?"

Shen Shen said: "I also think so. Poisoning is relatively in line with the characteristics of women's crimes. It is a common method used by most women to kill people, because compared with men, women are less powerful and less confrontational, and they are almost impossible to rely on. Most of them will choose poisoning as a method of committing crimes.”

Both Xiao Qiushui and Luo Sen nodded, and Yu Xiaolin said again: "But judging from the layout of the scene, this woman should be quite emotional."

"Mood? What kind of mood?" Xiao Qiushui asked puzzled.

Rosen gave him a contemptuous glance: "What sentiment? Petty bourgeois sentiment."
