Original sin

This letter should have been a few years ago, and it seems that this letter should not have reached my father at that time.

But now that this letter reappeared and was transferred to him through Xu Jing's hand, who was the other party?

If the other party's purpose is to give this letter to oneself, there are many ways, but why do they have to go through Xu Jing's hands?

After leaving Professor Gu's house, Shen Shen separated from Xu Jing. He had to rush back to the bureau, and there were still many things to do.

When Lin and Xu Jing parted, Shen Shen reminded her not to go to the second child Chen without authorization. He knew that Xu Jing was a media person. In addition to the sensitivity that a media person should have, she also had the curiosity of a woman.

I don't know who said that curiosity killed the cat, but Shen Shen knows that curiosity can not only kill cats, but also kill people.

Xu Jing obviously didn't take his reminder seriously, she reassured Shen Shen that she knew how to protect herself.

This made Shen Shen feel a little worried.

But it's impossible for him to guard Xu Jing all the time, and in the end, he can only let Xu Jing be notified immediately when Xu Jing is in danger.

Driving the car, Shen Shen was thinking about the letter all the time.

The news conveyed by this letter has been late for at least five years. Donglai Shangcheng is still there, so I don’t know what the old neighbor is, let alone whether Chen Laoer is still there.

But why did the other party ask Xu Jing to forward this letter to herself?This is the question that Shen Shen has been thinking over and over again.

Is the other party unable to contact me in person or dare not?What is the purpose of the other party handing over this letter?Is this helping yourself or digging a big hole for yourself to jump into?

Back at the bureau, Shen Shen sat in the office and lit a cigarette.

He temporarily put the matter of the letter aside, and the figures of Xiao Zhenqin and Wan Fei'er appeared in his mind again. In his opinion, these two women might be the murderers of Tang Jianwei, because they both loved Tang Jianwei. There is resentment.

Wan Feier is Tang Jianwei's ex-girlfriend. Tang Jianwei married Xiao Zhenqin and abandoned her. She loves Tang Jianwei deeply in her heart.It is said that as deep as love is, there is as deep as hatred. Let's take Wan Fei'er's gnashing of teeth when they mentioned Tang Jianwei. She really looked like she wanted him to die.

But when she knew that Tang Jianwei was really dead, her whole body changed, and she burst into tears uncontrollably.

Xiao Zhenqin is Tang Jianwei's current girlfriend, but because of Tang Jianwei's family's opposition to their relationship, a rift developed between her and Tang Jianwei. She moved out of Tang Jianwei's residence, and the two fell into a cold war.Of course she also loves Tang Jianwei, but she looks much more sensible than Wan Feier, maybe this has something to do with the western education she received.

In comparison, Shen Chen felt that Xiao Zhenqin was much calmer than Wan Feier emotionally.

But maybe that's just the appearance.

Judging from the first contact with Wan Fei'er, Wan Fei'er's clothes are also full of petty bourgeois sentiments, and the sales manager of Lie Ma 4S store does have certain quality requirements.

The phone rang, and it was Wang Lu calling.

"I heard that there is another case in your place. Let me tell you about the specific situation." Wang Lu asked.

Shen Shen coughed lightly: "You know discipline."

Wang Lu was a member of the task force before, and the investigation process of the case was indeed transparent to her, but now that she has returned to the provincial department, she has nothing to do with the current case.

Although Shen Shen has a good relationship with her, and she may be able to provide some help to the case, but discipline is discipline, and Shen Shen has always kept a clear head on this point.

Hearing what Shen Chen said, Wang Lu let out a "huh", and then the door of his office was pushed open.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Wang Lu standing at the door, Shen Shen's eyes widened. It's working hours now, shouldn't she be the provincial department?

"Captain Shen, I have been seconded by Bureau Tan and I am temporarily in the technical department, but Bureau Tan said that my main job is with the criminal police, so I will be your assistant." Wang Lu had a smile on her face.

Shen Chen didn't expect that Wang Lu would be brought here by Tan Ke just a few days after she returned to the Provincial Department. What exactly does this Tan Ke want to do?

"I said, you don't really want to be transferred to the Municipal Bureau, do you?" Shen Chen asked in surprise.

Wang Lu blinked her big eyes: "What do you think?"

Shen Shen smiled wryly: "Our city bureau temple is small, how can we accommodate a Bodhisattva like you."

Shen Chen's words were not mocking her, but telling a fact.

Wang Lu's rank in the provincial department is not low. The provincial department has set up a special department for her, which means that she and Shen Chen have the same rank. If she comes to the city bureau, how should the bureau arrange it?

"Bureau Tan talked with me and asked me to be in charge of the technical department temporarily, but I refused. I prefer my own line of work, so he let me hang in the technical department, and then the focus of work will be on you Criminal Police Brigade, Captain Shen, don't want me!"

"Aren't you stupid? The provincial department is great, and the room for improvement is much bigger." Shen Shen was a little speechless, and Wang Lu pouted: "I'm just a little woman, what do I need such a big room for improvement? And I can be regarded as a technical background, so I should be on the front line. Bureau Tan said that he is seconded, but I mean that he can be transferred directly."

Shen Chen smiled: "Will the provincial government let you go? You are their treasure!"

"Tan Bureau said that I was just sitting in the office in the provincial department. Although the provincial department took me as a treasure, it didn't make the best use of me. But it's different when I come to the city bureau. Only here can I really have me. Han Ting used to be a student of Bureau Tan in the police academy, so he couldn't beat Bureau Tan, so he had to let me come, first on secondment, and then formally issue a transfer order after a while."

Wang Lu poured herself a glass of water consciously, and sat down: "No, why do I feel that you don't welcome me? It seems like you don't want me to be transferred to your city bureau!"

With the grievance in Shen Chen's heart, he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just thought it might be better for you to be in the provincial department than the city bureau, at least not so busy."

"I like to be busy and fulfilled. It's really not a good feeling to sit in the office every day."

Shen Chen gave her a white look: "Don't I just sit in the office?"

"How can it be the same, I'm sitting there in a daze, although you are sitting here, you must not be idle in your mind, right?"

Shen Chen had to admit that she was right, Shen Shen found that his mind seldom had a free time, even at home he was either thinking about the case he was working on, or thinking about his father.

"Now you can tell me about the case!" Wang Lu didn't show any hypocrisy, and went straight to work.

Shen Shen lit a cigarette, and then told her about Tang Jianwei's case, but Wang Lu asked many detailed questions, including some subtle movements and expressions of the other party when he talked with Xiao Zhenqin and Wan Fei'er.

Shen Chen's memory is pretty good, and he can answer most of them.

After listening to Shen Shen, Wang Lu pondered for a moment and said: "One thing is certain, the murderer should be a woman, poisoning is in line with the characteristics of most women committing crimes, although it is not absolute, but it is in line with the burial of flowers in this case. With a sense of ritual, the murderer is undoubtedly a woman, and this woman loves him."

Shen Shen asked: "You interpreted it from the language of roses, right? What about the lucky bamboo and lily?"

"The flower language of the lucky bamboo is wealth, wealth, of course, it can also be understood in a more popular way, money. There should be a money relationship between Tang Jianwei and this murderer. I don't mean a money transaction, but one party has given the other a lot of money. support. By the way, how is Tang Jianwei's family condition?"

"It's not that good. His family is in a small town in Xiuwu County."

Xiuwu County is a county below Lincheng, one of the three counties and one city under the jurisdiction of Lincheng.

"His father is a teacher in a private elementary school, and his mother runs a grocery store. He also has a younger brother and a younger sister. The younger brother is in his sophomore year, and the younger sister is in her first year of high school. They are both spending money."

Wang Lu nodded: "As for saying that the flower language of lilies symbolizes purity, the murderer's placement of lilies beside him may have two meanings. The first is to show that his feelings for Tang Jianwei are pure and sincere. It means that it corresponds to the first level, that is, she feels that Tang Jianwei has desecrated her pure love, and placing this bouquet of flowers by his side is more like declaring his guilt."

Shen Chen understood.

Wang Lu asked, "What about you, which one do you think is more like a murderer?"

Shen Chen didn't even think about it: "We have to investigate further."

Wang Lu smiled: "That's what I like about you, and I never preconceive it."

Shen Chen said: "We really can't have preconceived habits in our business. Human life is greater than the sky. Once we make a mistake, it will cause wrong cases, hurt innocent people, and let the murderer go unpunished."

Wang Lu put away her smile, she knew Shen Shen a little better.

She was surprised that someone as young as Shen Shen became the captain of the criminal police of the city bureau, and he had such a mature mind, what has this man experienced!She knew about Shen Chen's father, maybe it was because of his father that he grew up so quickly.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? I have flowers on my face?" Shen Shen asked with an embarrassed smile.

Wang Lu nodded seriously: "Yes, yes!"

Shen Chen was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, but at this moment Wang Lu turned around and left his office with a smile.

Only then did he realize that he had been cheated by this little girl.

Donglai Shangcheng is a residential area located in Xiaohe District, Lincheng City. It has a history of more than ten years, and all of them are small high-rise stair houses.

The Audi A4 stopped in the parking space on the street at the gate of the community.

Xu Jing got out of the car, pushed the sunglasses on her face, adjusted the mask again, and then walked to the guard room of the community.

Sitting inside was a man in his 60s.

"Uncle, may I ask if there is a place called Old Neighborhood near here?" Xu Jing asked the old man.

"Old Neighborhood?" The uncle frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Is that the 'Old Neighborhood' Su Fan you are talking about? If so, it would have been closed long ago, and the store has changed hands twice."

After all, it was a case a few years ago, and Xu Jing expected this result.

She asked again: "Is the owner of the Sufen shop surnamed Chen?"

The uncle shook his head: "I don't know about that, go there and ask the people who live next door, maybe someone still remembers."

Xu Jing followed the direction pointed by the uncle, and quickly found the store, but now it has become a shroud shop.

She asked her a few times, and she really asked. The hardware store opposite is an old store for more than ten years. The owner is called Jin Dalong. When Xu Jing asked about "Old Neighborhood", he had a weird expression on his face. When he was asked to bring a bowl of plain noodles from "Old Neighborhood", he said: "The store has been closed for four or five years. No, the store was first transferred to a clothing maker, but the business is not good. It was transferred to this man who deals with dead people."

"Is the boss's surname Chen?"

"Well, it's called Chen Tao, and it's on this street. The powder shop is also an old one, passed down from his father. He is the second child in the family, so everyone calls him Chen the second child."

"Then where has he gone now?" Xu Jing asked again.

Boss Jin looked at Xu Jing: "Are you really just here to buy fans?"

Boss Jin thought it was weird that a fan buyer asked what so many were doing, and she seemed very interested in Chen Lao Er.

Xu Jing found that she seemed a little anxious, she smiled and said, "Aren't I curious?"

"Well, when someone reported that Chen Laoer's soup had crow's fart shells in it, the shop couldn't keep going. Not long after, I heard that he was arrested by the police for hiding drugs, and then there was no I got his news. Sigh, I always think this thing is weird, Chen Lao Er is such an honest person, how could he do such a thing?"
