Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Assisting in the investigation of the original owner's drowning

Chapter 3

Soon, Li Quan came back dejected.

As soon as he entered the door, the person who caught his eye was Qin Ze, a well-known rogue in their county.

The other person stood in the corner, his body straight and his military posture extremely standard.

Qin Ye, the person who reported the case, stood in front of Qin Ze, with his arms folded across his chest, and sternly reprimanded him: "This is the Public Security Bureau. Do you think it's a vegetable market outside? Who are you trying to show off to by acting like a lazy person?"

Qin Ye looked so imposing when he was scolding that Li Quan shivered unconsciously.

Why does he feel that Qin Ye is more like a public security officer than he is?

Li Quan had dealt with Qin Ze and other ruffians many times, and every time he was so angry with them that his chest ached.

This time, after finally witnessing Qin Ze being humiliated in front of him, Li Quan felt much better, and the depression he had just felt from being scolded by his leader was swept away.

He came over with a smile and said sarcastically: "Hey, isn't this our Brother Ze? What's the matter? Are you in a good mood today and came to our Public Security Bureau to stand in the corner? Comrade Qin Ye, Qin Ze is your..."

I haven't seen Qin's mother for a long time, and the relationship between the siblings is so harmonious.

When Li Quan asked about their relationship, she didn't wait for Qin Ye to answer and interrupted cheerfully: "Comrade Gong'an, Xiaoze is Ye Ye's younger brother, they are both my children, and they are twins!"

"Twins—"

Li Quan was a little surprised and his eyes swept back and forth between the two of them several times.

If you look closely, Qin Ye and Qin Ze's facial features are indeed quite similar.

It's just that Qin Ze is dark and thin, with bruises all the time on his face, and he has a bad temper, so it's easy for people to overlook the fact that he has a good appearance.

Qin Ze embarrassed himself in front of outsiders and felt a little embarrassed.

He angrily said to several people, "Who is her brother?", then ran out of the Public Security Bureau and disappeared on the street.

Qin Ye then realized that she had an occupational disease. She mistook the original owner's brother for a mentally ill young man who should be put in jail, and she even criticized him.

She touched the tip of her nose and coughed awkwardly, not knowing to whom she was apologizing: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

"No, no, Ye Ye taught me a good lesson!"

Mother Qin was particularly supportive, "Mother has long disliked Xiaoze's rogue look, Ye Ye was right to scold him!"

Li Quan was used to seeing biased parents who favored sons over daughters, but this was the first time he had seen one that favored a daughter.

He shook his head, drove the irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and returned to the matter of calling the police: "Comrade Fu Jinfeng, Comrade Qin Ye, you go back first. When my colleague on patrol comes back, I will go with him to your village to investigate."

What he didn't say was that his idea of ​​immediately arresting An Chuqiang was rejected by his leader on the spot and he was criticized.

After the leader had scolded him enough, he reluctantly agreed to let him follow the old policeman to Juexing Village to inquire about the situation.

Qin Ye observed Li Quan's expression and realized that things were probably not going as smoothly as expected. But she didn't ask any more questions. She wrote down Qin's home address for Li Quan and led Qin's mother away from the Public Security Bureau.

…

Wuning County is considered the richest county in the surrounding area, and the consumption level of its residents is also high.

There were many diners sitting in the state-owned restaurants on the street, and the aroma of food wafted out from time to time.

Qin Ye smelled the scent and his stomach growled. Maybe her voice was a little loud; even Qin's mother next to her heard it and looked up at her.

She pulled her lower lip a little embarrassedly.

Qin's mother hurriedly avoided her sight and took out a torn handkerchief from her arms. The torn handkerchief was opened layer by layer, revealing the money inside - only a few cents and a food coupon.

Looking at the pocket cloth that was cleaner than her face, Qin's mother felt a little embarrassed and chose her words carefully: "Ye Ye, are you hungry? I didn't bring much money with me. Go buy some steamed bread to fill your stomach. I'll make you something delicious when I get back, okay?"

Qin Ye really couldn't bear to see her mother talking to her timidly, and felt sad.

"No need, mother, let's go back and eat."

She put the wallet back in Qin's arms and said, "Eating out is expensive and not worth it."

It seems that making money is imminent!

[Ding——The live-streaming investigation system is now online. The host can receive rewards and rewards by accepting online commissions, and change the current predicament~]

An electronic sound suddenly rang in Qin Ye's mind, and the next second, a large electronic screen appeared in front of him, with the words -

【Location: Wuning County;

Delegate: not refreshed;

Reward: Unknown]

Qin Ye accepted the system that appeared out of nowhere well.

After all, she has traveled through time, so no matter how bizarre the events are, she will not find them strange.

"mother!"

Qin Ze's shout brought Qin Ye's attention back to reality.

She and Qin's mother turned their heads almost at the same time. Qin Ze ran over in a hurry and stuffed an oil-paper bag into Qin's mother's hand.

It seemed like there was some food wrapped in the oil paper, with juice oozing out and emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

Qin Ye smelled the scent and his stomach growled again.

Qin Ze didn't have the good temper of Qin's mother. When he heard her stomach growling, he rolled his eyes in disgust, as if he felt embarrassed.

"Mom, there's a meat bun inside. Someone gave it to me. Eat it yourself. Don't give it to her!"

Qin Ze threw down this sentence and ran away like the wind.

Mother Qin quickly shouted at his back: "Xiao Ze! Why don't you go home? Where are you going now?!"

Qin Ze didn't even turn his head, but just waved at them, signaling them to go back first: "I'm looking for a friend! Come back for dinner!"

Mother Qin sighed when she saw Qin Ze disappear again.

In front of Qin Ye, she unwrapped the oil paper, revealing four steaming white flour and meat buns: "Oh, this damn child!"

She cursed, but there was a smile on her face.

She is Qin Ze's biological mother, so she naturally knows that Qin Ze is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. If he really didn't want to give Qin Ye some, how could he have sent exactly four buns? She couldn't eat four by herself.

"Ye Ye, here, take it and eat it."

Mother Qin smiled and handed the oil paper bag to Qin Ye, not forgetting to speak well of Qin Ze, "Your brother has a bad mouth, but his heart is not bad. Can you please stop hating him? He is not a bad boy."

The original owner and Qin Ze were twins, but they didn't communicate much in their daily lives.

When she was a child, she was instigated by her aunt. She always felt that Qin's father and mother favored boys over girls, and bullied Qin Ze a lot when Qin's father and mother went out to work. Tricking him into eating mud and drinking dirty water was a small matter. She even secretly pricked Qin Ze with an embroidery needle to coax him into going to the mountains to find wolves.

When they grew up, Qin Ze had a wild temper and became a plague god that everyone in the village avoided.

The original owner was afraid that Qin Ze would attack her, so she didn't dare to bully him anymore, but she still couldn't stand Qin Ze. She hated Qin Ze's arrogance and roguery, and only liked cultured people like An Chuqiang.

Qin Ye bit into the hot meat bun, feeling indescribable feeling in his heart.

She didn't hate Qin Ze, she was just a little worried.

The fact that Qin Ze grew up in a crooked way is closely related to the atmosphere and environment of the Qin family. After a brief contact, she could feel that Qin Ze had a good heart.

But if there is no intervention and guidance early on, given Qin Ze's personality, it is only a matter of time before he goes astray.

In order to maintain the original owner's personality, Qin Ye did not dare to say directly that she did not hate Qin Ze, but said: "Mom, I don't plan to continue to hate Xiaoze. I thought about it, he is quite obedient, much better than other people's brothers in the village."

She did not forget to joke to comfort Qin's mother: "Besides, he gave me meat buns to eat! Even if it's for the buns!"

After hearing her words, Qin's mother's worried frown finally relaxed, and she said "good" several times: "Good children, good children, you and Xiaoze are both good children of your mother."

The meat buns of this era are a bit bigger than those in previous lives.

But Qin Ye was very hungry, and he finished one in just two bites: "Mom, you eat too."

Seeing that her mother was holding the remaining buns and swallowing her saliva, but couldn't bear to eat them, Qin Ye picked up one and handed it to her: "Don't say you don't want to eat it, save it for us, otherwise I will be angry."

In this era, white flour meat buns are a rare delicacy in any household.

It was impossible for Qin Ye to eat all the buns in one go without caring about the other members of the Qin family: "I'll eat one, Mom will eat one, and we'll take the remaining two back to Dad and Xiaoze."

Qin's mother felt particularly relieved and sighed in her heart that her daughter had really grown up.

Then she took the bun, held it in both hands, and ate it in small bites.

…

Qin Ye and his mother had just walked back to the village when Li Quan and his colleague Lao He arrived at the village entrance on their motorcycles.

The police officers were wearing green uniforms and carrying batons, and riding powerful motorcycles.

In the village, either of these two items is eye-catching. The two appeared at the entrance of the village at the same time, and the villagers of Juexing Village were shocked.

"Good fellow! Did Fu Jinfeng really take Qin Ye to report to the police???"

"Shuanzi's mother, hey, help me up a little, my legs are weak. I stole an egg from my neighbor's house this morning. Will the police arrest me and shoot me?"

Li Quan: “…”

He cleared his throat and prepared to take advantage of the crowds of onlookers to educate the villagers about the law and tell them that the police would not shoot people at will.

He had just forced a smile when he met the eyes of the lady who said she had stolen the eggs.

The other party screamed and ran away. When the old lady ran away, the timid villagers followed her and the village was suddenly in chaos.

Qin Ye looked at the villagers who were fleeing in panic and observed a three-second silence for Li Quan.

There is still a long way to go to popularize the law in rural areas. Comrade Li Quanxiao still needs to work hard~

"You are the reporter Qin Ye, right?"

Lao He is an old policeman who is about to retire. He is not surprised by such situations.

He rubbed his aching lower back and got off the motorcycle, saying, "You said someone saw An Chuqiang push you into the river. Please take us to find the witness. We need to find him to understand the situation."

Qin Ye nodded, and led Li Quan and Lao He to the grain drying field, not forgetting to correct the impreciseness of Lao He's words: "The one who rescued me to shore was my uncle Qin Liangping. I just suspect that he witnessed the scene and protected the murderer An Chuqiang."

"An Chuqiang asked me to meet him at the riverside at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The conversation lasted less than three minutes, and we had an argument. He pushed me into the river when I was not paying attention."

She replayed the timeline based on the original owner's memory. "Qin Liangping rescued me to the shore and carried me to a small road where villagers were busy. It should have been around 3:40 yesterday afternoon."

Lao He didn't expect that a girl from a small village could present the case so clearly, on par with an old policeman with many years of experience.

He became interested. "As far as I know, from the time you were rescued to the time you woke up at home this morning, you were unconscious the entire time. None of the villagers who witnessed the rescue had watches, so how could you be sure of the time you were rescued?"

Qin Ye said calmly: "Yesterday was the 15th. On the 15th of every month, our village will hold a production meeting. Every meeting will end on time at 3:30 in the afternoon, and yesterday was no exception."

"At that time, the villagers had just left the threshing ground where the meeting was held and were preparing to go home to cook. I estimated the distance between the threshing ground and the place where the sighting took place. According to normal walking distance, it would take about ten minutes. Therefore, I speculated that the time when the villagers saw Qin Liangping saving me was around 3:40."

It was less than three minutes’ walk from the river to the spot where the villagers witnessed the incident.

Excluding various external factors, Qin Liangping should have rescued the original owner at around 3:30 in the afternoon.

According to Qin Liangping, he rescued the original owner as soon as the original owner fell into the water. But in fact, the original owner fell into the water at around 3:05.

In other words, the more than 20 minutes in between were easily wiped out by Qin Liangping.

Where was Qin Liangping during the 20 minutes that the original owner was struggling in the water? Was he watching all this calmly on the shore? Or did it appear somewhere else?

Why did he want to erase all traces of the murderer An Chuqiang and fabricate the lie that the original owner committed suicide by jumping into the river?
