Chapter 71: New Case Someone surrendered himself...

It was a very cold day in the twelfth month of winter, but Qiu Jiang held Shi Yuexiu's hand tightly and jumped around as if she was not cold at all.

Just when she was about to ask her sister-in-law about her plans for the New Year, she saw an older brother who often came to them to buy buns riding his bike towards them.

Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "Here comes another job! Business is really good, but it's really busy."

Shi Yuexiu was also beaming. "It's a bit tiring, but I've made some money this year and it's finally time to relax. If it can continue like this, I'll tolerate the fatigue."

"That's true."

Qiu Jiang agreed with this view very much.

After all, it is not difficult to live in this day and age, but it is difficult to live well. If you want to live a better life and have a stronger ability to resist risks, you naturally need more money.

"Hey, five big meat buns—"

I could hear the big brother shouting from about ten meters away.

Qiu Jiang replied loudly, "Okay——"

After she finished speaking, she wanted to run to her own shop to install it for him first. Just when she had taken a few steps, she suddenly saw a car running amok and brushing past Shi Yuexiu.

Shi Yuexiu was terrified and didn't dare to move. Qiu Jiang was so frightened that she quickly turned back, pulled her over, and looked at her hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, is everything okay?"

She shook her head, "No...no."

Qiu Jiang finally felt relieved and looked in the direction where the shabby van was speeding away with a frown. She saw that the car had crossed the curb and was running across the sidewalk. She frowned immediately and stared at that direction nervously.

Shi Yuexiu had also recovered from his shock at this time. Seeing the strange behavior of the car, he couldn't help but said worriedly, "What's wrong with this car? Is there a problem?"

Qiu Jiang didn't know how to drive, and she didn't know if there really was some kind of malfunction that would cause the car to be uncontrollable, causing it to rush directly onto the sidewalk, but she knew that if there really was a malfunction, it would be absolutely impossible to turn back and forth.

The purposefulness is too strong.

She leaned over to look at the situation over there, trying to see it more clearly. Suddenly, a panicked head jumped out from in front of the car. She looked closely and saw that it was the big brother who wanted to buy buns just now.

"Oh my God, isn't this a deliberate hit? Jiang Jiang, don't go over there, it's dangerous——"

Shi Yuexiu was frightened when he saw her running over there, and his heart was beating rapidly.

At this moment, Qiu Jiang quickly spoke to her, "Sister-in-law, call the police."

"Hey hey hey."

After receiving the order, Shi Yuexiu quickly ran to the small supermarket next to the store. At this time, many people in several nearby stores also saw the situation outside. They were standing on the steps at the door, looking over here and talking about it.

"How deep is the hatred and resentment between these two people?"

"Isn't this murder? Did this person offend the driver?"

"Who knows?"

They gathered around to watch the excitement, feeling nervous, afraid that the car would lose control and crash into their store. Who could bear that?

Shi Yuexiu ran all the way and finally arrived at the door of the small supermarket. "Boss, lend me your phone so I can call the police."

"Call the police? Isn't that what's coming?"

The proprietress of the small supermarket raised her chin towards the distance, and Shi Yuexiu looked back with a confused look on her face.

At a glance, two traffic police motorcycles with flashing lights and sirens were seen speeding towards this side. In front of the motorcycles was the police van that had returned to bring Qiu Jiang back.

Now, she finally felt some hope and looked hurriedly towards Qiu Jiang. When she saw the car brushing past her body, she panicked and turned pale with fear.

Qiu Hengan also came out of the store at this time. When he saw this scene, he clenched his hands tightly on the wheelchair.

Fortunately, Qiu Jiang's reaction speed was still very good. Moreover, she just wanted to take the person away. She forcibly pulled the big brother who was so scared that his legs were stiff and his eyes were weak. At the same time, she had to pay attention to the vans that kept hitting her, and she avoided them every time.

But this was not a big deal. This person obviously had a grudge against the big brother and was determined not to stop until he was killed, which gave her a headache.

Just then, she heard the sound of sirens, turned her head and was immediately delighted.

However, the people in the crazy van seemed to have noticed the presence of the police. They immediately backed up, quickly merged into the traffic flow, and quickly ran away.

Deng Xingwang drove his car to chase after the man, and the traffic police followed closely.

After they were far away, Qiu Jiang could no longer see what was happening and hurried to see this elder brother.

"Are you okay?"

Fan Jun's legs were shaking like sieves at this moment. When he saw that the crisis was over, he collapsed to the ground, obviously scared silly.

Fortunately, apart from being too frightened and having the skin on his palms and knees abraded, he didn't suffer any other injuries. He was lucky enough. However, Deng Xingwang and the others had not returned for a long time, which made Qiu Jiang a little anxious.

"I don't know what's going on over at Xingwang."

But she also knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she could only wait there obediently and report the situation to their quarterly team.

About half an hour later, Deng Xingwang's car finally returned, but unfortunately the van that hit the people did not appear behind their car.

After the car stopped by the roadside, Wang Li jumped out first and shook hands with his two traffic police colleagues.

"Thank you. Please pay attention to whether that car will pass by here again."

"You're welcome. It's what we should do. Don't worry, we will notify you as soon as we see it."

"Unfortunately, he merged into traffic so quickly that we couldn't see his license plate. We might not recognize him if he reappeared. He's obviously very familiar with this area, so we don't know if he'll come through this way again. There's probably not much hope of finding him again."

"Just keep an eye out. It would be great if we can find it. We will also randomly visit in the next few days."

“Brother Wang…”

Qiu Jiang walked over quickly and said to him, "The right headlight of that car has a crack and dents around it. I think it might have been hit before."

Hearing this, the two traffic policemen's eyes lit up.

"Okay, we finally have a clue. We will notify the city's traffic police. If we have any information, we will let you know immediately."

"Thank you very much."

Wang Li shook hands with them again.

Deng Xingwang also got out of the car and shook hands with them to express his gratitude. However, before they left, the group heard a familiar "woohoo" sound coming at a very fast speed.

At first glance, the four big words "Anxi Public Security" come into view.

Several familiar figures got out of the car one after another. Who else could they be but their colleagues from Team 5?

Of course, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the big black jeep that arrived later.

Their Captain Ji's long legs were the first to step out of the car, and soon Ji Mingcheng in a white suit came into everyone's sight.

After getting out of the car, his eyes were fixed on Qiu Jiang, and then he glanced at the traces around him and the man lying on the ground.

Wang Li and the others saluted him in unison, "Team Leader Ji."

Ji Mingcheng said "hmm", "ran away?"

Deng Xingwang had something to say about this. "Captain Ji, that bastard knows this area very well, and the traffic was very heavy right then, so we didn't catch up. Otherwise, we would definitely have caught him."

Ji Mingcheng had already learned some of the situation from Qiu Jiang, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Is it arranged?"

Wang Li nodded. "The traffic police will work with us to find the car, but whether they can find it is still unclear."

Ji Mingcheng understood these words without being told. After surveying the surrounding area and collecting testimonies from nearby witnesses, Ji Mingcheng immediately announced the bad news, "It seems your vacation is over. Come back with me."

Deng Xingwang sighed, "This is really bad luck."

But he had a premonition and could accept it now.

So the group went straight back home, accompanied by Fan Jun who was going to take detailed notes.

Fan Jun was really scared today. He didn't calm down until he drank several cups of hot water at the police station.

As soon as he saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Comrade police, that person clearly wants to kill me. You must find him. He really wants me dead."

"We'll look for it, but you have to cooperate. Think carefully about whether you've offended anyone recently, and do you have any impression of that car?"

Fan Jun was completely bewildered. "I've never seen that car before, and I'm usually very friendly to everyone. How could I have offended anyone?"

He really felt that he was wronged and aggrieved, and he couldn't imagine that anyone would attack him.

The thought that the person who wanted to kill him was still hanging around outside scared him so much that he didn't even want to leave the police station.

But he didn't have any clues at all, which made Deng Xingwang and the others very helpless.

After leaving the house, Deng Xingwang asked Qiu Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, do you think it's possible that he just bumped into someone randomly? What if that person was just in a bad mood and wanted to bump into someone, and Fan Jun just happened to be there?"

Qiu Jiang shook her head. "You weren't at the scene and didn't see the car's condition. It was clearly heading straight for Fan Jun. I absolutely believe they have a grudge against each other."

"I agree with Jiang Jiang," Wang Li echoed. "When I looked in the rearview mirror, I could still see something. The car passed a lot of people, but when it got close to Fan Jun, it suddenly accelerated and rushed onto the sidewalk. After that, it kept chasing Fan Jun. If it was really killing people at random, then there's no way it would have let others go. After all, that sidewalk is full of shops. If it had just moved a little further in, it could have hit a lot of them. But didn't it?"

Qiu Jiang continued his words, "Even if Fan Jun says he hasn't offended anyone recently, sometimes he thinks he hasn't, but that doesn't mean others think so. It's also possible that he has offended people without realizing it. We still can't let go of this possibility."

Ji Mingcheng listened quietly to their analysis without interrupting. Only after they had finished speaking did he speak, "Don't forget that he has a serious mahjong addiction. Based on what he's revealed, besides working and sleeping hours, he spends at least a few hours a day playing mahjong at other people's homes. He's even away from home on weekends, working non-stop."

His voice was low, deep and steady, very pleasant to the ear, but what he said was difficult to understand.

"Captain Ji, does this have anything to do with our case?" Deng Xingwang scratched his head. "Do you suspect someone lost a game and, out of frustration, wants to kill Fan Jun?"

"But according to what Fan Jun said just now, his wins and losses these past few days probably don't amount to enough to make people so jealous." Deng Xingwang was puzzled.

"It may not be about winning or losing." Qiu Jiang frowned and said tentatively, "It may also be about emotional entanglement or..."

Ji Mingcheng raised the corners of his lips, obviously she had guessed right.

"But why? He has a gambling addiction, not some other addiction."

Ji Mingcheng didn't say anything, but looked at Qiu Jiang, indicating that she should explain.

Qiu Jiang finally organized her words and said, "There are many residents in our courtyard. Among them is a family. I heard that the couple were childhood sweethearts. The man pursued the woman and finally married her home with great difficulty. The man treats the woman very well, which shows that they have a very good relationship."

"From what I know, they had just graduated and were assigned to the same factory. Originally, the man was very family-oriented, and the two of them came home together every day, smiling all the time. But after a few days, the man wanted to gain a foothold in the factory, so he wanted to build good relationships with the others. Since everyone else in the factory loved playing cards, he joined them, hoping to get a house for them..."

Qiu Jiang paused here and said, "Originally, it should have been a good thing, but gradually, the man started to stay away from home, and he and his wife started quarreling. Sometimes, the yard was filled with their shouting and cursing, and we could still hear what they were saying even if we covered our ears."

Deng Xingwang asked curiously, "Then what are they scolding?"

"That woman accused her husband of having an affair, saying he played mahjong with that woman every day and never came home, and... they even slept with each other," she muttered, then continued, "Later, I heard from other neighbors in our yard that this kind of thing is actually very common. Those who play mahjong frequently are much more likely to cheat."

"Just like the person I just mentioned, they used to have a really great relationship and were always the model couple in our compound. But after that, the two people who never argued before started arguing every few days, and eventually they separated. Then the man actually brought home a strange woman. I heard she was the one he met at the card game."

"And the girl he brought back seems to have more than one lover. I saw other people playing mahjong at his house secretly hugging her waist a few times."

"So I think people who hang out together for a long time might be more likely to develop feelings, leading to infidelity. Someone might find out and be so angry they'd want to kill someone."

"Of course, this is just a guess and may not be the truth. We still need to continue investigating the specific situation."

"Qiu Jiang is right. Because these things involve privacy, many people will not take the initiative to tell others, so this situation cannot be ruled out. Therefore, we must focus on investigating his poker friends to see if we can find out some unknown things from them. At the same time, we must also focus on investigating his unit to see if he has offended anyone at work." Ji Mingcheng concluded.

"yes--"

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still enough time for them to investigate thoroughly.

After Ji Mingcheng assigned them the places to investigate, as he was walking out, Wang Meilin suddenly came down from upstairs in a hurry and called for help.

"Team Season, Team Season..."

Ji Mingcheng stopped.

Qiu Jiang and the others also looked at her curiously, wondering what had happened to make her so anxious.

Until she hurriedly said, "The Qingjiang Police Station just received a report. It says someone impulsively attempted to kill someone near the 13th Road bus stop today, but failed. They've now surrendered themselves. They heard you're investigating the case, so they called."

They were just about to look for clues, but the murderer turned himself in?

So they don't need to check?

Qiu Jiang blinked and looked at their team.

Ji Mingcheng pointed at two people and said, "Xingwang, Wang Li, go check the situation. If it's this person, bring him here."

"yes--"

The two men quickly took the order and left, leaving Qiu Jiang alone.

Ji Mingcheng flicked her forehead and said, "Go to my office and fill out a form. It's on the table."

Qiu Jiang covered her forehead with her hands, looking angry. "Captain Ji, can you please stop playing? I'm not wearing a hat."

Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "So you can play it by wearing a hat?"

"I..." Qiu Jiang took several steps back and told him the answer with her actions.

Ji Mingcheng felt a little regretful and waved at her, "Go fill out the form."

"What watch is it?" Qiu Jiang looked up and asked.

"Go and see for yourself."

After Ji Mingcheng said something casually, he was called away to shoot a New Year's greeting video and photos.

Qiu Jiang had no choice but to find the answer herself.

When she went upstairs, she found that many people were gone, except for the girls who were chatting in the office.

As soon as they saw her, they called her over.

"Come here, Jiang Jiang, have some hot tea. Captain Ji just brought it over. It smells so good."

"Yeah." Qiu Jiang ran over and picked up a paper cup to warm his hands. When his hands were warm, the temperature of the red tea also dropped slightly.

She sipped it gently, feeling the strong bitter tea aroma bursting in her mouth.

She frowned and swallowed reluctantly.

"Haha, if you don't like it, don't drink it. Not all of us like it."

When Qiu Jiang heard this, she quickly put down the cup and complained, "It's too bitter."

She only likes sweet food and doesn't like bitter food.

For example, this, for example, coffee.

It was torture for her.

"I heard that in Hong Kong, black tea is served with dim sum to help with the greasiness. But drinking it alone like this is a bit bitter."

"No matter what it's paired with, I don't like it." She couldn't stand the taste. "Compared to this, I still prefer green tea. It's much fresher."

"I do have some green tea. I'll make some for you," Wang Meilin asked.

Qiu Jiang shook her head. "I have to fill out some forms, so I won't drink the tea."

"What watch?"

"I don't know either. Captain Ji told me to go to his office and look for it myself."

"Then go quickly, it might be a good thing."

Qiu Jiang was pushed by them towards Ji Mingcheng's office. As soon as she entered his office, she suddenly remembered that she had not asked them where the others were.

But since I'm already here, I might as well fill out the form first.

She glanced at his desk and instantly spotted a transparent folder.

There are two tables inside, and the names of the tables are...

Early regularization application form?

Does that mean she got a permanent position early? ? Two months after her official internship?

Qiu Jiang opened her mouth wide, totally unable to believe what she saw, but she repeatedly checked with her watch and the seven words did not change at all.

This is what she has been looking forward to for a long time.

The endless surprises almost knocked her out. This was simply the best gift she had received today.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

She jumped three feet high and jumped several times in his office, showing her good mood clearly.

Ji Mingcheng saw this scene when he came back.

He leaned against the doorway leisurely, his smile particularly arrogant and complacent. "How is it? Is this surprise good enough for your New Year's gift?"

"Enough, thank you, Captain Ji. You are simply the best leader I have ever met."

Qiu Jiang smiled like a flower and spoke nice words without hesitation.

Ji Mingcheng felt happy and nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Yes, you are good at flattery. You deserve encouragement."

Qiu Jiang didn't know for a moment whether he was praising herself or making fun of herself, so her smile froze.

Fortunately, Ji Mingcheng was obviously very busy, and someone came to him immediately, "Captain Ji, the director is looking for you. He said you must come over."

Ji Mingcheng held his forehead with his hand, looking reluctant, but in the end he had no choice but to disobey the order. Before leaving, he asked her to fill it out and put it on his desk. He would hand it over to the personnel department when Sunday came.

"Work on Sunday?"

Qiu Jiang's face was full of disbelief.

"What do you think?"

In fact, Ji Mingcheng only found out about the make-up classes before the holiday after being reminded by others, but he didn't care. After all, it was the last two days and the possibility of something big happening was not great, so it didn't matter where he stayed.

Her reaction actually made him want to tease her. "Not only do you have to go to work, but you also have to do hard labor for two consecutive days."

He gently dropped a bomb, turned around, waved his sleeves and left, leaving Qiu Jiang confused and questioning her life.

"Doing hard labor? For two days straight? Is this true?!"

Qiu Jiang held the form and began to doubt her life, a slight fear rising in her heart.

It’s not like she’s happy, but it’s hard to tell whether she’s unhappy or not.

She looked down at her regularization form.

Forget it, she should just be happy first.

Now I officially become a police officer, which is ten months faster than other comrades who just joined the job.

And she seemed to be the only one in their police station.

Who wouldn't be surprised by such a good thing? Anyway, she was almost going crazy with joy. She sat obediently in Ji Mingcheng's seat and filled out the form carefully, fearing that she would make a mistake.

As for the hard labor their season team mentioned, they could just worry about it after she arrived on Sunday.

It was only when she went to work on Sunday that she realized that the so-called hard labor in their team was actually this kind of thing.

If all the hard labor in the world was like this, she would be willing to do it every day without a second thought.

After all the things arrived, she counted them on her fingers, thinking that eight or ten would be good, but she didn't finish counting until she counted to twelve.

The bureau is really generous.

I like it very much. I like it very much.

Qiu Jiang smiled with her eyes curved.
