Chapter 229 Chapter 229 Acquaintance She covered her forehead and put on...

Five days after Liu Shen's murder of four people was solved, Deng Xingwang hurried in from outside and went straight to Qiu Jiang's desk.

"Jiang Jiang, didn't Liu Shen commit suicide before he could even confess? There's no way to hold him criminally responsible. Originally, his family could have claimed his body, but now he has no immediate family left, and even his collateral relatives are unwilling to claim it. I heard they're planning to send out a notice. If his family doesn't claim it within a certain timeframe, they'll either cremate it or donate it as a cadaver."

Qiu Jiang frowned. In fact, she had known these words three days ago. She was thinking, is there no other way? At least let him be buried next to the person he loved most.

But seeing how excited he was, she asked, "Is there any other news?"

"That's right—"

Deng Xingwang snapped his fingers.

"What's going on?" Qiu Jiang asked hurriedly.

"Do you still remember Yu Hongyi? He's the one who leaked the information to you, Liu Shen's former subordinate."

"Of course I remember."

"This guy was really capable. He went straight to the hospital to find Zhang Xiuli's parents and asked if he could retrieve Liu Shen's body so they could be buried together. The elderly couple almost kicked him out, but then he told them what Liu Shen had done. After crying for a while, they actually agreed. Do you know why they agreed so readily?"

"Why?"

"Hehe, it turns out Liu Shen was almost married to Yu Xiu Li before he went to jail, but he didn't accomplish that and ended up in jail. However, he never let Zhang Xiu Li suffer any injustice before he went in jail, and he was very kind to them both. I heard that if that incident hadn't happened, they would actually like Liu Shen quite a bit. Now the main reason they hate him is because they feel that he delayed their daughter for so many years, and in the end, his younger brother even killed their daughter. Who could stand that?"

"Now that they know he has avenged their daughter, they will follow her. Death is like the extinguishing of a light. No matter how much hatred they feel, they cannot bear to see him beat and scold them again. Moreover, they believe that their daughter also wants to be buried with him. Otherwise, she would not have waited all these years despite being scolded by them. Now that the result has been achieved, they might as well fulfill their daughter's wish, so they agreed."

Qiu Jiang was also glad for the result.

But she was a little worried about the procedures.

After all, Yu Hongyi is just his friend.

However, sometimes there are always more solutions than problems. Yu Hongyi actually successfully received Liu Shen's body. There was no farewell ceremony, and he went directly to the funeral home for cremation.

After the cremation, they immediately brought the ashes back to the hillside of Zhang Xiuli's hometown.

Zhang Xiuli rests here.

Liu Shen also stayed here.

Qiu Jiang and Deng Xingwang came to see him off. They didn't ask him how he brought the body back. They just silently offered a stick of incense and left without staying.

It is worth mentioning that the people who were seriously injured by Liu Shen in the compound where he opened a private gambling den were actually the key figures of this group, and not the thugs as the fat man in the yard said.

The bureau interrogated these people closely and finally found a very clear chain. It was heard that they were organizing a secret operation to completely destroy this line.

Because Team Three was not involved, they didn't know much, but this could be considered as Liu Shen doing the bureau a favor, which made many colleagues have a complicated impression of Liu Shen.

This man was cruel, but he did do some good things.

I have to say he is a very complicated person.

Let’s not talk about everyone’s opinions for now, the Municipal Bureau is about to explode right now.

"What? Someone wants to pursue the captain? But doesn't the captain already have a boyfriend? Is this going to be a drama of two men competing for one woman???"

"Then tell me what that person looks like? I thought that after Ji Sir came from Hong Kong so many times, those people would no longer dare to pursue our captain. I didn't expect there is still a brave man."

"That's perfectly normal. Our captain is so pretty, and more importantly, she has a good temper and is capable. If I were her, I would pursue her too."

"Hey, you're exposed."

"Hehe, I'm not saying it anymore, I didn't do it, but I don't think the guy Ren Wu mentioned is so courageous. I just don't know what he looks like. Is he more handsome or uglier than Ji Sir?"

Everyone started chatting.

Ren Wu quickly stopped

"Quiet, quiet. I just saw it and felt that the boy looked at our captain with ulterior motives. Don't spread it around. If it gets to the captain's ears, I won't admit it at all."

"Achie, you're the most cautious. Did we ever say we'd betray you? We just wanted to see what this guy looks like. Describe him to us quickly."

"What else can I say? You can just go out and see for yourself. His car is right on the curb in front of our police station. He's driving a luxury car, and you can tell he's rich. I just don't know who's richer, him or Sir Ji?" Ren Wu gossiped.

"What's there to know? Does our captain need the other party to be rich?"

"Yeah, then let's..."

Their eyes were filled with eagerness to try, and as soon as they said two words, they ran out in unison.

At the intersection, Qiu Jiang, who was talking to someone, didn't expect to meet an acquaintance from her hometown here.

It was Xiao Xiangrong, whom he had met several times before.

Although I had concealed some things from him before, which caused some unpleasantness, our positions were different, and he later took the initiative to tell me, so there was nothing to mind. Besides, it was rare to meet someone from Anxi, so I chatted with him for a few more minutes.

Xiao Xiangrong was still very excited after the conversation. "They only said that you left, but for confidentiality reasons they couldn't tell you where you went. Later I learned about your visit through the newspaper. Please forgive me for disturbing you this time."

Qiu Jiang couldn't help laughing. "It's rare to meet someone from Anxi here. I'm very happy that you came to see me, but how did you think of opening a company here?"

He explained, "Before going abroad, I actually spent two years in Hong Kong studying painting. Sometimes I would come here with my teacher to sketch, so I'm quite familiar with Peng City. Plus, Peng City is now a key development area in the country, and I'm very optimistic about its prospects, so I persuaded my family to give it a try."

He also mentioned several industries and plots of land that he was optimistic about and asked her if she was interested in working together.

The conditions he offered were quite generous. It didn't seem like he was here to discuss cooperation, but rather to give her money.

Qiu Jiang, who was very happy just now, was suddenly shocked. If he had not helped her several times and she had not thought that he was the kind of person who wanted to collude with the police, she would really doubt whether he wanted to let her get on his boat.

But even if you don't really think about it, his behavior is quite strange.

Because he studied art and was very sensitive, he immediately understood her question and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I was worried that your salary wouldn't be enough because the cost of living in Peng City is so high."

Qiu Jiang was stunned for a moment.

"Because of this?"

Xiao Xiangrong nodded continuously, "Yes, really, I'm operating in compliance with the law, and I definitely don't intend to follow your path."

She never expected that it was because she was worried that she didn't have enough money. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for your kindness."

He visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you didn't misunderstand."

"No, but if you open a business I can send you two flower baskets, in a personal capacity of course."

"Really? That's great." His face was filled with happiness, and his expression was very easy to understand.

It is easy to communicate with someone whose emotions are written all over his face. Qiu Jiang wishes all the suspects who are caught could be like him.

Unfortunately, many of the suspects they usually meet are troublemakers. They will never admit anything until everything they are hiding is slapped in their faces at the last moment.

Sometimes she even wanted to try to practice the mantra Gu that her father had made.

You have to know that no matter how tough the enemy was at that time, as long as they fell into A Niang's hands, A Dad could make them speak. This kind of Gu needs to take root in people's hearts. If this method is used, their lives cannot be guaranteed in the end.

No one would say anything if it was used on the battlefield in ancient times, but it might be a bit creepy if used in modern times.

Most importantly, it is illegal.

She suppressed the urge in her heart and decided to just keep doing it as before.

Xiao Xiangrong didn't know that she had just thought of a very dangerous possibility. Although she denied it in time, he was still very happy that she said it.

"That's great! In three days, my studio will open on the first floor of Wanshan Department Store. My teacher's paintings will be on display there. If you're free, you're welcome to come and visit."

"Sure, if you have time."

The two of them chatted briefly for a few more sentences, and finally Qiu Jiang ended the conversation on the grounds that it was getting late and it was time to go to work.

When Xiao Xiangrong left, he gave her a painting.

"This is a painting I made. It's not famous yet, and it's not worth much. I hope you don't mind."

He said a little embarrassedly.

Qiu Jiang opened it and looked.

This painting is a sunflower oil painting, but unlike other rich tones she has seen, it is a very low-key yellow, and the overall color is dull. However, the presence of green leaves neutralizes the dullness very well, giving the overall feeling a fresh and elegant feeling.

Even if you don't understand painting, you can feel that this is a very mature and good painting.

"Thank you, I like it very much." She thanked him.

Xiao Xiangrong's nervousness instantly turned into a happy smile that filled his entire face.

This feeling of having her in his heart and eyes was very familiar, and Qiu Jiang was a little surprised when he turned around and left.

They didn't seem to have much in common, so why could I see admiration in his eyes???

It seems that this painting should not be collected.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was obviously too late.

As he drove away, he waved at her cheerfully and invited her to attend the opening ceremony, clearly looking forward to her going.

She covered her forehead and put on a mask of pain.
