Chapter 17 The Egg's Fame Spreads Far and Wide
Ma rushed over and, in front of the criminal investigation team, granted Shen Zhenzhu two days of sick leave, a smile playing on his lips.
Shen Zhenzhu is treated well; this time, Ma Suo personally escorted her home.
"Why are you back?" Shen Liuhe was still cooking with great enthusiasm. There were three large iron woks in the small kitchen, some of which had lost their handles and were being tossed around with a rag.
When she saw Ma Suo, she thought something had happened to Shen Zhenzhu, and rushed out without even looking at the pot: "What's wrong, Zhenzhu?"
Shen Zhenzhu had never been cared for so warmly in her previous life. She pursed her lips and before she could speak, Ma Su had already extended his hand and politely shook hands with Shen Liuhe, saying, "Sixth Sister, you really know how to raise children. You've already done another good deed for our police station in just a few days! I only know the general details, I'll tell you in a few days."
Shen Zhenzhu: Boss... it's better not to talk about the incident of someone exploding their testicles in the street.
Shen Liuhe didn't care whether she had done anything good or not. She helped the limping Shen Zhenzhu sit down, rolled up her trouser legs, glanced at her, and almost burst into tears: "You got beaten up! Where's Mom's kitchen knife?!"
"No, I wasn't beaten up. How could you be so sure I was beaten up?" Shen Zhenzhu said, laughing and crying at the same time, "I caught a suspect and accidentally fell."
"real?"
"real."
"Arrested another one?"
"Another one caught."
"Hey, Pearl's going to be on the bulletin board again?" Yuan Jiangxue stood at the door, holding a melon seed, and shouted like a megaphone.
"She's done it again? Goodness." Uncle Lu came out, wearing a trendy T-shirt, and said to the others with a smile, "This girl is really something."
Brother Leng and the other shop owners were playing cards in front of the shop when he chimed in, "Our Ironman Four Star, let's get some new photos this time, big ones! Ideally, they should show off how beautiful our little pearl is at a glance."
Shen Liuhe wiped her eyes and, seeing that the injury was not as serious as she had imagined, smiled again and said to Ma Shuo, "This scared me. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to bring her back."
Ma said with empathy, "I also have a daughter, about the same age as her. I understand that parents' hearts are the same, I understand completely. I'll let her rest at home for the next couple of days, and she can go back to work when her knee is better."
"I can still go to work, as long as I don't do fieldwork, I'll be fine." Shen Zhenzhu thought to herself, "I can't take a vacation, the pay is less if I do."
Ma Suo, unaware of Shen Zhenzhu's thoughts, was truly inspired by her enthusiasm for her work. He patted Shen Zhenzhu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Shen, I know you're wholeheartedly devoted to your work. You should rest at home for now. Other colleagues can handle your work matters. Once you're healed, you can shine again."
All right.
What else could Chen Zhenzhu say?
After Ma left, everyone still wanted to ask her about her meritorious service. Shen Liuhe said loudly, "Look at the bulletin board later, she's keeping it a secret."
Grandpa Zhang, who came to get his meal, brought his son, Xiaopang. For the elderly residents of Tiesi, this place is good value for money and tastes great, making it a perfect community canteen for the people of Tiesi.
Shen Zhenzhu couldn't sit still. While wondering if Liang Jianguo would confess, she limped to the door to get boxed lunches for the grandfather and grandson.
"Sister, I didn't want the chicken leg." Zhang Xiaopang looked down at the chicken leg with surprise, thinking that Shen Zhenzhu had made a mistake. Sister Zhenzhu has had a hard life, and he wasn't going to take advantage of her.
"This is a reward for your good performance today." Shen Zhenzhu poured the tomato and egg scrambled egg sauce into his lunchbox; the chubby boy loved to mix it with his rice. Having made lunchboxes for so long, she remembered the tastes of all the neighbors.
Grandpa Zhang was still angry with Shen Zhenzhu. Because of her meddling, his son and daughter-in-law brought their child to keep an eye on him around the clock, and even the coffin that Boss Leng had prepared for him was returned!
"Uncle Zhang, why don't you have a chicken leg too? It'll keep you healthy and long-lived," Chen Zhenzhu said, as if coaxing a child.
"Old people can't digest meat well." Grandpa Zhang glanced at the large basin, then held out his aluminum lunchbox: "Give me some fish soup, I'll go home and soak some scallions."
"Alright." Shen Zhenzhu smiled and added a spoonful of fish soup to Grandpa Zhang's bowl.
The next day, Shen Zhenzhu was still helping out at the shop washing and chopping vegetables when she encountered Zhang Xiaopang, who looked embarrassed and sullen as he went to school, and she couldn't help but laugh.
The children all thought school would be suspended, but before they could even get excited, the notice to resume classes came down. They hadn't had a day off, and all their excitement was for nothing.
She stuffed a tea egg into Zhang Xiaopang's mouth, and then a distinguished guest arrived.
Gu Yanzheng got out of the Cherokee, carrying a lunchbox, and said, "It's clean. I forgot to bring it to you last time."
Lu Ye, who was in the passenger seat, called out, "Sister Pearl!"
"Hi!" Shen Zhenzhu was preoccupied with the case, looking at Gu Yanzheng with expectant eyes.
Gu Yanzheng understood immediately and said, "He had surgery last night, but it failed and he couldn't be saved. I'll interrogate him this afternoon."
"It's better if it can't be saved." Shen Zhenzhu quickly filled the lunchbox with food, weighing it down tightly before handing it over: "Is this considered assaulting a police officer?"
Gu Yanzheng hadn't intended to come and get the food, but he couldn't refuse the food that was handed to him.
He took the heavy lunchbox, nodded, and said, "Assaulting a police officer is something that I and the bystanders can both confirm. It's a done deal and has nothing to do with you."
Chen Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little embarrassed. She awkwardly took a rag and wiped the table.
Gu Yanzheng witnessed the tragedy and heard this morning that no one in the entire criminal investigation team had eaten eggs. Seeing her expression, he chuckled and asked, "What were you thinking?"
The unspoken question is, "What were you thinking, becoming an egg-bursting hero?"
Shen Zhenzhu whispered, "This is a self-defense technique for women. When you hit someone, hit their vitals first." She added, "When beating a man, start by exploding his testicles."
Gu Yanzheng nodded. He was right; the fear men have about this is something that can only be understood, not explained.
"I won't thank you any more, it's pointless. Just know that you are excellent."
Her dimples reappeared.
I'm really happy.
Gu Yanzheng gave a brief laugh, making sure Shen Zhenzhu didn't see it. Investigating her dimples had recently become a topic of interest for Captain Gu.
"Then I'll be going now." Gu Yanzheng said, holding the lunchbox. "I'll bring them over for lunch tomorrow, and then I'll give you the lunchbox back."
Shen Liuhe came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands and said, "You don't need to eat boxed lunches. Just call me and I'll cook whatever you want in advance."
Gu Yanzheng's team consists of a bunch of rough-around-the-edges men who would fight over instant noodles with ham sausages, but adding an egg would make it a delicacy, although they probably won't be eating eggs for a while.
But there's no need to order food from Sixth Sister anymore.
"Don't be picky, just stir-fry some of the leftovers that don't keep well." Gu Yanzheng carried the lunchbox and asked them for a few more boxed lunches to make do, so that he wouldn't have to face their glaring eyes and the sound of them swallowing their saliva when he went over to eat.
"That won't do, we still need to give Xiao Ye more meat." Shen Liuhe said with a smile, "You bunch of grown men need to have big mouths."
The burly, strong-looking Xiao Ye quickly cried out, "Sixth Sister, lots and lots of meat, lots and lots of meat!"
Shen Liuhe was overjoyed and took out a lunchbox, saying, "I'll give you lots of meat to eat right now."
"Thank you, Sixth Sister!" Lu Ye rubbed his hands together, standing opposite the large basin, eagerly awaiting his mother's meal. Seeing his sixth sister about to add eggs to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he quickly said, "No eggs!"
Shen Liuhe looked at it with a puzzled expression: "This kind of nutrition is unbalanced."
Lu Ye glanced timidly at the Egg-Exploding Hero.
Thanks to her, he didn't even dare to look at eggs with broken yolks anymore; the entire criminal investigation team turned pale at the mention of eggs.
"No need, I don't need this nutrition today." Lu Ye held his sixth sister's hand and scooped some onto the pork ribs and green beans: "This is the best."
Shen Zhenzhu smiled with her lips pursed, but dared not laugh too loudly, feeling very uncomfortable holding it in.
Before leaving, Gu Yanzheng opened the driver's side door and said to Shen Zhenzhu, "By the way, Zhou Feiming confessed last night. She said she found a dead body when she got home in the middle of the night and was threatened by Liang Jianguo to help her dispose of it. Liang Jianguo usually beats and kicks her, and she only came to Liancheng to escape him, but she didn't expect to be caught by him again. This time, he's using her whole family to coerce her into helping to destroy the evidence. What do you think?"
The meticulous Shen Zhenzhu was completely focused on the case and didn't notice that Gu Yanzheng had been asking her questions a lot lately.
Lu Ye stood to the side with his lunchbox, hesitating whether to order another serving of rice. Hearing Gu Yanzheng ask Chen Zhenzhu a question, he also looked over.
“What she said is probably true. Liang Jianguo’s dismemberment behavior was accompanied by violent tendencies and a strong desire for control. It was usually accompanied by a state of emotional numbness or dissociation, indifference to life, and achieving psychological dominance by dismembering the body. Such violent behavior would also occur in his life.”
As Chen Zhenzhu recalled the psychology books she had read, she said, "I noticed that Zhou Feiming had bruises on his jawline and neck, which corresponds to what she said."
Gu Yanzheng said, "He also engaged in necrophilia."
Lu Ye frowned and muttered, "He's not even human."
Gu Yanzheng clearly didn't want people to criticize Liang Jianguo.
Shen Zhenzhu immediately understood what he meant.
Necrophiliac rape means he could be judged to have a severe mental disorder, allowing him to escape legal punishment.
She blurted out, "This behavior is accompanied by severe psychological disorders and tendencies toward antisocial personality disorder, which is detrimental to the verdict. But his methods of disposing of the body were skillful and clean, not the rational behavior of someone with a mental illness, and he could even sleep at the dismemberment scene. I suspect he—"
“This is not the first time he has committed a crime,” Gu Yanzheng said. “And we can rule out mental disorders; it can be said to be a sexual/psychological disorder.”
"Sexual/psychological disorder!"
Shen Zhenzhu and Gu Yanzheng spoke in unison. The little girl's curved eyebrows were reflected in Gu Yanzheng's eyes, and he smiled at her.
Lu Ye was completely confused: "What do you mean by sexual dysfunction? Is he a pervert? He's a pervert to begin with."
