After the main culprit Chang Youxin was tried, Bai Yun was tried next.

Although she was very tired, she insisted on listening to the recording of Bai Yun's interrogation.

Bai Yun admitted that she had greedy thoughts, but she never thought of killing Wei Fenfang (this was confirmed by Chang Youxin's testimony), let alone that she would sacrifice the rest of her life.

She never thought about it, but it happened, and she regretted it 100%.

Because of regret, Bai Yun cried bitterly, spoke incoherently, and even robbed the logic.

She said that if she had not been so kind at the time and had not taken Wei Fenfang's pants. If she

had not taken the pants, she would not have seen the carved mother coin.

If she could not see the carved mother coin, she would not have let Chang Youxin steal it, and if Chang Youxin had not stolen it, Wei Fenfang would not have died, and the couple would not have committed such a serious crime.

Therefore, Wei Fenfang should bear half the responsibility for her wrongful death.

Xie Qing found it very ironic.

She was celebrating the New Year happily before she was arrested, but she regretted it after she was arrested - I'm afraid it wasn't real regret, she just wanted to make herself feel better, deliberately forgot that it was her greed that caused everything, and attributed all the causes and consequences to the outside world. A

sophisticated egoist!

A copper coin ruined the future of three people.

Although the case was solved, Xie Qing couldn't be happy. She wrapped herself in a cotton coat and strolled around the compound for a long time until the phone rang.

She took out a mobile phone from her backpack and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Captain Tan."

Tan Yi said, "We are making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala in the cafeteria, do you want to come?" His voice was a little cold on such a cold night, but the meaning of the words was warm and bright.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

"Hurry up."

Xie Qing walked towards the cafeteria.

The interrogation started right after she came back from Lishan. She only ate two small pieces of old-fashioned bread on the way, so she should have been hungry.

She felt hungry, so she took out a piece of White Rabbit from her pocket and put it in her mouth, "It's New Year's Day, let's have a sweet meal."

"Ring ring ring..."

The cell phone rang again, and Xie Qing picked it up.

"Qingqing?"

"Brother, I'm back."

"How is it, have they caught him?"

"Yes, we just finished the interrogation. Just because of a mother-in-law's money, two lives were lost."

"Why are you saying this on New Year's Day?"

Xie Chen probably used the speakerphone, and Chen Yuehua's voice came through not so clearly.

Xie Qing ignored her voice and continued, "On the way there, we were robbed outside Lishan County, and on the way back, we found nails on the same road. Brother, people's minds are unpredictable, so it's always better to be low-key and more cautious."

Xie Chen said, "I know, I will be more careful in the future. Qingqing, we made some dumplings, I'll bring some to you."

Xie Qing's heart warmed again, "No need, brother, the cafeteria is also making them, and Captain Tan is asking me to go over to work, you can eat by yourselves."

"Then I'm relieved." Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "On the fifth day of the New Year, Tan Yi invited us to his house for dinner. I have already agreed. You will go then."

Xie Qing hesitated for a moment, "I'll see. Brother, give the phone to Dad. I'll wish him a happy new year."

Xie Chen said, "Okay, wait a moment."

Xie Xun was very concerned about Xie Qing. He not only asked about the Lu family's case, but also asked about the Lishan County in detail. The father and daughter chatted for three or five minutes before hanging up the phone.

It was almost ten o'clock when they arrived at the cafeteria. Tan Yi, Ren Yaguang and others had chopped the meat and green onions, and scooped a large bowl of white flour and were preparing to mix.

Ren Yaguang hesitated in front of the wash basin. When he saw Xie Qing coming in, he quickly waved, "Xiao Xie, can you knead dough?"

It is common for police officers to work overtime, but they rarely do it. It's not for any other reason, but because they don't have time.

Xie Qing rolled up her sleeves and said, "If you don't mind that I'm a forensic doctor, I'll take care of kneading the dough and mixing the stuffing."

Zhao Youguang, a criminal policeman from the first team, said, "Well, we are all policemen. Who cares about that? If Xiao Xie can do it, hurry up."

"That's right."

"Xiao Xie, knead the dough here. This skit is very funny. Let's watch it while we do it."

Several old criminal policemen spoke up.

"Come on." Ren Yaguang moved the wash basin and water over.

Xie Qing put down her backpack and went to the bathroom to wash her hands several times. When she came back, she used chopsticks in one hand and water in the other to mix the noodles little by little... When the noodles and the basin were all clean, she covered them with a wet cloth, and the noodles were ready.

Then she mixed the stuffing, oil, thirteen spices, soy sauce, salt, pepper water...

In less than half an hour, she finished all the work.

"Xie Qing is awesome."

"Yes, there are not many girls who can do housework nowadays."

"You are not right. There are many who can do it, but I didn't expect Xie Qing to be so capable."

"That's true..."

Everyone started to praise her.

Xie Qing didn't hesitate to accept the order and summed it up in one sentence, "As long as one is a qualified foodie, he or she is generally a good cook."

Tan Yi nodded, "So, the reason why we can't cook is actually because our mouths are not greedy enough."

"Hahaha..." everyone laughed.

After the laughter died down, Xie Qing said, "Captain Tan is not entirely right. Being greedy is a superficial result, but being a foodie can be elevated to a pursuit and a determination. For example, a foodie loves eating dumplings, so in order to eat delicious dumplings, she can look for famous chefs and learn how to make various dumplings; a foodie can also go to the northwest for a bowl of authentic beef noodles. Such people are called foodies."

Everyone thought that Tan Yi was just joking, but they didn't expect to provoke such a serious explanation from Xie Qing.

Several people looked at Tan Yi in unison.

Tan Yi said seriously, "That makes sense. I've learned something. A foodie is actually a gourmet in a certain sense."

Xie Qing smiled, "I accept this analogy." She thought to herself, you old sauerkraut, you know your place.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the dough was almost done, so everyone made dumplings together.

Xie Qing kneaded the dough well, pinched the dough into even pieces, and rolled out the dumpling skins that were neither too thin nor too thick, neither too soft nor too hard.

The men’s skills were a little bit worse, and the dumplings were either too big or too small, or too oddly shaped.

Fortunately, they all had a lot of strength, pinched the skins firmly, and none of them broke when they were cooked.

Just before midnight, the Spring Festival Gala host began the countdown, and the hot water-boiled dumplings were ready.

Ren Yaguang endured the heat and tried one first, praising: "You are indeed a gourmet, the meat is fragrant and juicy, and it tastes better than what my mother makes."

Xie Qing picked up the dumplings and put them on several large plates, "Fortunately, we prepared enough, otherwise there would be too many monks and too little meat."

Zhao Youguang said: "Thank you, forensic doctor Xie, thank you, Captain Tan, we are in for a treat tonight."

Tan Yi took a plate of dumplings, "What are you thanking for? Brother Zhao is too polite."

"I still have to thank you." Xie Qing said seriously, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for the dumplings."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Youguang laughed, "This kid is really good at talking."

Tan Yi couldn't help laughing and walked away with the plates.

The work on the stove was done.

Everyone sat around the table, eating and enjoying the singing and dancing performances of the old artists.

The dumplings were not well-wrapped, but the meat filling was delicious and the dough was chewy.

Tan Yi knew Xie Qing could cook from her appearance, but he didn't expect her to be able to do it to this extent. The dumplings were definitely not worse than the dumplings he had eaten in the Beijing Hotel.

He admitted that he was amazed.

After the meal, the dumplings were completely wiped out, and everyone was full, including Xie Qing herself.

When the Spring Festival Gala ended, everyone cleaned up together and left the cafeteria together.

It was less than two o'clock, and Anhai gradually became quiet, but some places were still noisy. The gorgeous fireworks were clearly extinguished in the dark night sky, and the diamond monkeys flew into the sky with a line of fire.

This is an era of free fireworks.

Xie Qing felt a little regretful. When she passed by the firecracker stand, why didn't she think of buying some fireworks?

Tan Yi saw that she was in a trance and asked, "Do you like fireworks?"

Xie Qing said, "Yes."

Ren Yaguang also said, "I like them too. I can set them off when I get home in the morning. I can get two strings of firecrackers. It's loud and lively."

...

The last firework fell, Xie Qing turned around, "Let's go upstairs, are you going to sleep or stay up?"

Ren Yaguang stole a glance at Tan Yi, "I'll sort out the files of the Lu Jing case, that poor guy is still in the detention center."

Tan Yi sneered, "There's no need to rush. Wouldn't it be good for someone like him to reflect on himself for a few days in the detention center?"

Ren Yaguang reminded in a low voice: "Captain Tan, the Fengshan Branch is still stubborn."

Tan Yi said: "The people have been arrested, are you still afraid that they don't know?"

Xie Qing believed it deeply. Old cadres are old cadres, and they can keep their composure.

The three of them went upstairs together.

"Xiao Xie, don't go back to your office. Come to the second floor. Let's study the historical plan." Ren Yaguang stopped Xie Qing who was climbing to the third floor.

Xie Qing stopped and said, "Today is Chinese New Year. Do you mind?"

Ren Yaguang waved his hand. "Well, come on. There was a murder during the Chinese New Year last year. We are policemen and we don't care too much."

He didn't mind, and Xie Qing didn't mind even more. He stayed up all night and went home to sleep for a day, perfectly avoiding Chen Yuehua.

The historical plan was the case of Shen Yi and the case of Mao Jia.

Ren Yaguang was also a member of the special task force. He found the files of the three cases together.

Just after finishing, Tan Yi came out with a bag of oranges and two bags of dried fruits in his hands, and said, "Eating some snacks will prevent you from getting sleepy."

Ren Yaguang was not polite and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to eat. "Xiao Xie, do you think the tenant of the Shi plan and the person who wrote the letter to the newspaper are the same person?"

Xie Qing peeled a hazelnut, "I think the person who wrote the letter is someone else, but the tenant and the messenger should be the same person, either the man or the woman. . "

Ren Yaguang said: "Why?"

Xie Qing said: "The writer of the letter has a certain level of education, and his way of speaking and doing things is probably different from that of ordinary farmers, but his landlord has never mentioned this. If it weren't for his excellent acting skills, it could only be that they are not the same person."

Tan Yi sat down opposite them, "Then who do you think the mastermind is?"

The task force held a meeting to discuss it, and there are three possibilities for the mastermind: a drug addict, a drug dealer, and someone who is familiar with morphine.

The last type of person can be expanded a lot.

Xie Qing thought for a while, "Combined with the writing situation and the situation of the Shen Yi case, I think he may have studied medicine and has a high level of education, to be irresponsible."

Tan Yi nodded, "Recently, I also guessed so, but I ran around the relevant cities and found no suspicious people."

Recently.

Xie Qing chewed over this word in her heart, which means that Tan Yi's brother's death has nothing to do with morphine.

Ren Yaguang asked: "Could it be that we are from Anhai?"

Tan Yi smiled and said, "We have checked Anhai and found no clues."
