Cao Haisheng's chest was heaving violently.
Xie Qing whispered, "Master, don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. It's not worth it. Just leave after you've explained the reasoning. There's still work to do in the bureau."
Cao Haisheng took a deep breath and stood up. "Dad, I'll say it again. If Zheng Wenkai doesn't come to me, I won't sell the house. If you want to make a fortune, go find someone who shares the same ideals. I'm a police officer and it's not convenient for me to participate in any business."
He turned and walked out.
"Stop right there!" Old man Zheng stood up vigorously and rushed over with the other two men.
Xie Qing stood in front of Cao Haisheng, "Try to touch my master? I will not only sue you for assaulting a police officer, but also for hooliganism."
"You little bastard, this is our family affair, why do you care? Get out of here!" Old man Zheng said rudely.
A police officer spoke up, "I warn you, don't insult police officers!"
Old man Zheng wanted to hit him but didn't dare to, and wanted to scold him but couldn't. He was so angry that he fell backwards, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground...
Xie Qing jumped up with a quick step, grabbed his chin with his right hand, and pressed his thumb hard on his philtrum. The old man stood up again with a cry of "Ah".
She said, "You have to be careful and don't get sick. My master just moved and has no money. If you are hospitalized, your family and your son will be in debt."
She took off Cao Haisheng's mask and said, "Look, take a good look at what you have done to a dedicated old forensic doctor?"
Cao Haisheng's face was bruised and had several bloody marks from scratching. Because of the iodine, the injuries were unbearable to look at. There was
a sigh in the mediation room.
Old man Zheng and Zheng Wenkai's wife were so embarrassed that they avoided him.
Xie Qing said, "If your son is missing, look for him quickly. Don't delay our work as police officers. I won't accompany you any more."
Cao Haisheng also said, "Dad, please look for him again. He used to go to the Black Hair Salon frequently. You might as well go and have a look."
A police officer said, "I remember Zheng Wenkai had made friends with Section Chief Cao several times, but he never changed his ways."
Cao Haisheng blushed, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Another old police officer said, "Go back. Contact me if you have anything."
...
On the way back.
Cao Haisheng said softly, "Qingqing, I'm so grateful to you today. Otherwise, hundreds of dollars would be gone again."
Xie Qing smiled, "Master, I'm quick to react."
The little girl finally had a little childishness.
Cao Haisheng raised his thumb, "Very quick reaction."
Once old man Zheng fell, he had to personally send him to the hospital, even if he had no money. It was like losing both the wife and the army.
Just now, Xie Qing's brilliant move not only cracked old man Zheng's tricks, but also won the sympathy of his colleagues, so that people would not say that he, a son-in-law who works as a forensic doctor, did not care about his father-in-law's life or death.
"Master, are you coaxing a child? Hahaha..." Xie Qing laughed. It was tiring to always be a forensic doctor. It was not bad to be a child occasionally.
The master and apprentice returned to the police station and happened to catch up with the SQN task force meeting.
Xie Qing went to the office of the second brigade alone.
As soon as she entered the door, her eyes met with Jiang Hanzhi and Na Wan, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat - is there another case in Beijing?
Jiang Hanzhi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he nodded politely.
Na Wan waved, "Little Forensic Doctor Xie, we meet again."
Xie Qing smiled and said, "Captain Jiang, officer, hello."
Na Wan said, "Our arrival means that someone is dead, which is not good at all."
This is true.
Xie Qing sat down next to Li Ke, "Since there is no way to avoid it, let's face the storm together."
She said this in an interesting way, and everyone laughed together.
Tan Yi didn't like the way Jiang Hanzhi looked at Xie Qing, and immediately cleared his throat, "Everyone is here, let's have a meeting."
The meeting room became quiet.
Tan Yi said, "Captain Jiang, I won't elaborate on the case of the machinery factory. You can tell us about it."
Jiang Hanzhi was very straightforward and got straight to the point: "The deceased, Wu Jiang, is 33 years old. He lives at No. 444, Shuyuan Road, Dongcheng District. He is married and has two children with his wife. He works in the library as a manager. His father is the deputy mayor of Beicheng District."
The incident happened at 8:30 pm on April 25. The deceased was hit and killed by a speeding car on his way back from a party with his high school classmates.
The driver fled.
This morning, the traffic police found the abandoned red Xiali on the road leading to the suburbs - the vehicle was registered as a lost vehicle.
After verification, the deceased had no enemies and had not had any quarrels with anyone recently.
Although the sky-sweeping lady was not found, the murderer had a detailed plan and acted decisively. Jiang Hanzhi intuitively believed that this case must be related to the SQN case.
So, only one day later, the two of them came to kill. After
Jiang Hanzhi finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a moment, and there was no one even "Hulu Hulu" drinking tea.
People came, but there were no clues. What can they say?
But this does not mean that Jiang Hanzhi is incompetent, but that he was really helpless.
The son of the deputy mayor was killed and the case has not been solved so far. Now the son of the deputy district chief has been killed again. The pressure can be imagined.
Coming to Anhai to find clues is a solution they have no choice but to do.
But no matter what, the matter of searching for clues from military records cannot be disclosed for the time being - first, it is too sensitive; second, An Hai has gained nothing so far; third, Jiang Hanzhi and Na Wan may not be trustworthy.
Tan Yi said: "This case is similar to the Guan Wei murder case we dealt with not long ago. The cars were all stolen, and the drivers fled and abandoned the cars after the murder. After we solved the case, we got the clue of the teahouse and the Third Master. However, more than ten days have passed, and the clues are still standing still."
Jiang Hanzhi asked: "A local small teahouse?"
Tan Yi nodded.
Jiang Hanzhi was a little regretful, "Then we can't help." Outsiders entering such small teahouses are basically lice on a bald head, and it is obvious.
Na Wan asked: "Are you going to give up this clue?"
Tan Yi said: "At present, there is only this clue. We are still keeping an eye on it and conducting further investigations on everyone who enters and leaves the teahouse."
Jiang Hanzhi lit a cigarette: "Old Tan, this is the first time I hope you can beat me as soon as possible."
Tan Yi smiled bitterly. He also hoped that the case would be solved as soon as possible, but this was his long-cherished wish for many years. He hoped to solve the case in his own hands.
Neither side had any further clues, but both had a lot of complaints.
The small meeting turned into a complaint meeting and a grievance meeting.
Half an hour later, the meeting was over.
Xie Qing returned to the office.
Cao Haisheng did not ask about the situation of Xie Qing's task force. He only promised Xie Qing and went to look at the autopsy report in his hand.
However, after five minutes, he did not turn the page of his report.
Xie Qing said, "Master, are you worried about your brother-in-law?"
Cao Haisheng nodded, "The Zheng family seems unreasonable, but it is not unreasonable to report him missing. He has many bad friends, most of whom rely on my work in the Municipal Bureau. In fact, no one gives him face, so he can only come to me if he wants to borrow money."
Xie Qing poured him a cup of hot water, "So, Master, you think he really came to you, instead of going somewhere else to fool around?"
Cao Haisheng said, "Unless he is caught, he will go home the next day. This is the first time."
Xie Qing said, "Master, is the Zheng family thinking of something to occupy your property?"
"Alas..." Cao Haisheng sighed, "It's hard to say. It's also my fault. I told them that I wanted money but not a house. They secretly wanted me for almost a year, but now they have nothing. It's pitiful."
Xie Qing chuckled, "Master, the Holy Father is as kind as you."
Cao Haisheng said, "Isn't it because of your master's wife? Your master's wife has been in poor health since she was a child, but the Zheng family didn't abandon her. She has a lot of money on her."
Xie Qing said, "This can't be a reason to kidnap you and unconditionally help the Zheng family."
Cao Haisheng took a sip of water, "You can't say that. We have lived together for so many years and helped each other. It's hard to settle the accounts of favors."
Xie Qing said, "After work, I will accompany Master to look for it. We will do our best."
Cao Haisheng hesitated for a moment, "I have to trouble you again."
...
After work, Tan Yi called and invited Xie Qing to have dinner at Bawang Seafood to entertain Jiang Hanzhi and Na Wan, but Xie Qing refused with a legitimate reason.
The master and apprentice went to the black hair salon near Zheng's house first.
The car stopped and Cao Haisheng got out of the car.
The two hair-washing girls sitting at the door stood up with a smile. One of them, a plump young woman, asked, "Big brother, do you want a hair wash?"
Cao Haisheng said, "You two, I want to ask you something..."
"If you don't want a hair wash, why are you asking us? We don't know anything." The young woman sat back down with a lack of interest. "Let's go. Don't delay our business."
Cao Haisheng got off to a bad start and was stuck there.
Xie Qing got out of the car with two bottles of fat-house water and a bag of biscuits. "You two beautiful sisters have worked hard. Have some water."
"Wow, the car is owned by a young girl, so cool." The older one smiled happily and took the things. "What do you want to ask? Just ask."
Xie Qing said, "Last night around six o'clock, did you see Zheng Wenkai?"
Pointing at the corner of his forehead, Cao Haisheng added, "He has a scar on his forehead. He is a frequent visitor here."
The young woman twisted the bottle cap open with a "squeak". "I saw him. He rode away on a broken car. I asked him a question at the time, and he said he wanted to get money. What? Are you going to ask him for money?"
Xie Qing said, "Yes, I have something to ask him. Was he drunk at the time?"
The young woman said, "I can't tell. He was quite energetic."
The two thanked him and got in the car.
Cao Haisheng said, "Where can we go?"
Xie Qing said, "Let's go from here and drive to Master's house to see if there are any clues."
Cao Haisheng sighed again, "This is the only way."
...
Seven or eight minutes later, the car arrived downstairs of Cao's house.
Before getting off the car, they heard a noise coming from the first floor.
The two of them got off the car and rushed in.
Zheng Wenxin was sitting on a box in the living room, being pointed at and scolded by several relatives, and old man Zheng was among them.
"Your brother is missing, and you still have the mind to cook and clean the house? Are you still a human being?"
"That's right, sister, this is what you are wrong. We have been looking for Wen Kai for a whole day, and you didn't even answer the phone. It's outrageous."
"You two are ungrateful!"
"If I hadn't seen you coming back from buying groceries, I would have thought you were dead."
"Get out, all of you get out!" Cao Haisheng exploded, "I have tolerated you for so many years, don't push your luck."
"Okay, okay, you are telling the truth this time, right? You have tolerated my family for so many years, but you can't tolerate it this time. You are going to kill my son, right, right?"
Old man Zheng rushed up and kicked and beat Cao Haisheng.
Xie Qing took out her cell phone and shouted, "You said someone was dead when you haven't found him yet. How can you curse your children? How can you be such a parent? If you do anything again, I will call the police!"
Old man Zheng said, "Call them if you want, and see who gets the blame!"
Xie Qing pressed 110 and was about to call out when Cao Haisheng grabbed her wrist.
He asked the Zheng family, "Are you going to leave or not?"
The Zheng family looked at each other for a few seconds, and old man Zheng made the decision, "Go back first. If Wen Kai doesn't come back tonight, I will come back tomorrow morning."
...
After they left, Xie Qing comforted the couple and went home.
Cao Haisheng closed the door, supported Zheng Wenxin, and sent her to bed.
Zheng Wenxin said weakly, "Old Cao, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but there's no food at home and we still have to eat."
"Don't worry." Cao Haisheng sat down on the bed. "Xiao Xie and I just walked along the main road and asked the women in the hair salon. They said Wen Kai did come to see us."
Zheng Wenxin sat up and grabbed his sleeve, "Old Cao, nothing could have happened to him, could it?"
Cao Haisheng shook his head silently.
Zheng Wenxin said again, "My father said that he left at about six o'clock, and he should have arrived around half past six. Old Cao, you seemed to have left at that time, too, but didn't you run into him?"
Cao Haisheng said, "No, I rode my bike out from the back of the community and all the way to the beach, and my route didn't overlap with his."
Zheng Wenxin lay back down tiredly, "Although this child is getting more and more worrying, I'm still disappointed when I can't find him."
Cao Haisheng said, "Please don't let anything happen to him. If anything happens, it will all be our fault."
"Isn't it?" Zheng Wenxin held his hand, "Old Cao, you have lived with me for so many years, and you have never had a few days of peace of mind."
Cao Haisheng held her hand back, "Don't say that, whose family hasn't had bumps and bruises? Don't think too much, just wait until the two children graduate, and we will have hope."
Zheng Wenxin closed her eyes, "You are tired enough this day, but I can't even cook a meal for you."
Cao Haisheng smiled and said, "I have a good apprentice who drove me back. I'm not tired, just wait, it will be ready soon."
