Standing in front of the captain's office, Xu Man felt inexplicably nervous. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then raised her hand and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." Qin Shen's vague voice of permission came from inside.
She pressed the door handle, opened the door and walked in.
Qin Shen was lying on the sofa, leaning his head back against the cushion, one hand on his forehead, as if he was resting his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Man subconsciously slowed down her pace, walked over quietly, picked up the breakfast bag containing pancakes and milk, and said softly: "Captain Qin, it's me. Senior Brother Li had something urgent to do, so he asked me to bring breakfast over."
Qin Shen hummed lazily, "Put it on the table." His eyes were still closed, with no intention of opening them.
Xu Man said "OK", put breakfast on the table, and turned to leave. She glanced at Qin Shen, who seemed very tired lying on the sofa, and said uncontrollably: "Captain, you didn't get any rest all night?"
Qin Shen straightened his back and sat up, but bent down again in less than a second. He supported his thigh with one hand and covered his face with the other hand and answered, "I slept for a few hours and just woke up." His voice was a little hoarse, obviously he did not get enough rest.
Xu Man was now certain that she had disturbed the other person's rest, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't know you were resting..."
"It's okay." Qin Shen yawned, "It's almost time to work, it's time to get up."
As he spoke, he stood up and stretched, walked to the window and pulled up the blinds, then turned his back to Xu Man and spoke: "I say, why are you always saying "your name" when you talk to me? You're so polite?"
He turned around and smiled at her: "I don't think I'm much older than you, right?"
The sunlight shone through the glass window on his body, giving him a layer of golden halo. The light and shadow were intertwined, brilliant and dazzling.
Xu Man's breathing was slightly choked.
As early as when she saw the photos sent by Aunt Jiang, she had admired Qin Shen's appearance, sunny, handsome and charming. However, at this moment, the feeling was different.
He stood by the window, like a beautiful movie still, deep, charming, and possessing a fatal attraction. His temperament was completely different from that in the photo, like two extremes, but his smile was extremely similar, full of elegance and heroism, mixed with a different kind of temptation.
She stared at Qin Shen blankly for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. Her ears turned red under his smiling gaze, and she lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice: "Captain, you are the leader, you should be polite..."
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows.
"You don't have to be so particular with me. Besides, you're a little too polite. It makes me feel uncomfortable talking to you. I'm afraid I'll set a bad example for you and be accused of being a bad influence."
Xu Man couldn't help but laugh. Her captain was sometimes quite humorous. "Yes, Captain, I will pay attention next time."
Qin Shen smiled and said, "Then you go back first. Tell the people outside to have a meeting in the conference room at nine o'clock to summarize the information we found last night."
Xu Man remembered that he had told Li Shijie last night that it was conference room number 1. Seeing that he didn't tell her the address, she asked, "Which conference room number is it?"
"Number two." Qin Shen said, "We need to use the things inside."
Xu Man nodded to show that she understood, then turned and left the office.
As soon as she left the office, she began to regret it. Her performance in there just now was really bad. She actually stared at others in a daze, like a crazy fan. It was really embarrassing.
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She wished she could go back a few minutes ago and shove herself into the crack of the ground. She didn't know if Qin Shen had noticed this. If he was discovered, she would be so embarrassed.
She returned to the group office in annoyance. Xu Man told everyone that Qin Shen had a meeting at 9 o'clock. She also said something in the group chat. Then she walked to her desk and sat down. She put down her bag, turned on the computer, and stared at the screen. After a few minutes, she realized that she couldn't just sit there like that.
Yesterday was her first day at the detachment, but she first followed Qin Shen to the scene, and then participated in a case discussion meeting in a daze. She went home without even figuring out what her job was. She had wanted to ask about Li Shijie today, but she didn't expect that he was asked to go to the Intelligence Department and hasn't come back yet. She had to find Zhang Hongfei, a team leader, to ask him about his assignment today.
The task assigned to her by Zhang Hongfei was to assist Zhu Zhuo in organizing the information found last night, and to understand the daily work flow of a group. No other arrangements were made. One reason was that these were the most important things at the moment, and another reason was that she was brought in by Qin Shen, and he was not sure what her internship position was. She needed to ask Qin Shen himself for more specific matters.
Xu Man chose to help Zhu Zhuo first, and then ask Qin Shen when she was free. She came out of Qin Shen's office, and it would not be good to go back immediately. She didn't know whether he was working or resting. More importantly, she had not recovered from the embarrassment just now, and she really didn't have the face to see him.
Zhu Zhuo, whom Zhang Hongfei asked her to assist, had just graduated from the police academy this year and was a new member assigned to the team. He was the youngest in the team before Xu Man came. He was the person who asked the most questions around her desk yesterday. He was cheerful and enthusiastic to a fault, so Xu Man didn't have a very good first impression of him. But in fact, Zhu Zhuo himself looks quite refreshing, but he has a bad habit of approaching girls when he sees them. He is still very serious at work and taught Xu Man how to get started with a good attitude. He is a qualified mentor for newcomers.
At exactly nine o'clock, Qin Shen convened a meeting on time. Unlike Xu Man who looked sleepy when she went to his office, he remained awake throughout the meeting. He integrated the intelligence that the team had collected after working overtime all night and made a list on a glass plate.
After comparing the cases with those of police stations across the city, Team Two identified a missing persons report that was highly consistent with the case: the missing person, Zhang Xiaojuan, female, 11 years old, a fifth grade student at Yongqiao Central Primary School, disappeared on the afternoon of July 2 on her way home from dance class and did not return all night. Her parents called the police that evening, and the Siyang Police Station received the call and handled it.
"...We notified them overnight and took them to the detachment at 11pm to identify the bodies." Hang Qin, who was in charge of summarizing the situation, reported in front of the glass plate, "After preliminary confirmation, the deceased is most likely the missing Zhang Xiaojuan. The DNA of the deceased did not find corresponding information in the database, but through preliminary kinship testing with Zhang Xiaojuan's parents, it was confirmed that the two parties have a parent-child relationship. The complete kinship report will not be available until a week later."
"Tell me about the situation of Zhang Xiaojuan's parents." Qin Shen turned a page of the report.
Hang Qin nodded, picked up a marker and wrote two names on the glass plate: "Zhang Xiaojuan's father is Zhang Minsheng, 35 years old, from Chenzhou. Her mother, Liu Liwen, 33 years old, is also from Chenzhou. They met while working in Mingzhou thirteen years ago, got married a year after they met, and gave birth to Zhang Xiaojuan a year later. Ten years ago, they saved money to open a barber shop, which has been in operation for seven years. The family of three obtained Mingzhou household registration five years ago and settled here."
"How's their barber shop going?"
"It is said that the business is pretty good." Hang Qin replied, "There are many repeat customers. But this is just their one-sided statement. More detailed information needs to wait for follow-up investigation. For example, funding issues and customer reviews are still uncertain."
"What about the deceased himself? What's his situation?"
Hang Qin turned a page of the report. "According to the preliminary questioning and investigation of Zhang Xiaojuan's parents, Zhang Xiaojuan had excellent grades and good relationships with people at school. Teachers and classmates all liked her and there was no friction or conflict. In addition to her spare time, she also signed up for a dance class. She attended weekend classes when she was in school and full-day classes during the summer vacation. Now that the school is on summer vacation, her dance class has become full-day, from 10 am to 3 pm. However, she only attended three classes and disappeared on the way home."
"Since the victim's parents usually had to look after the store, the victim walked home by herself after dance class. It was not until 5pm that evening, when all the customers in the store had left, that the victim's parents realized that their daughter had not returned home on time. They began to worry and went to the Siyang District Police Station to report the incident at 21:13 after searching everywhere in vain."
"In addition, the saliva analysis of the nine cigarette butts scattered at the scene also came out, all belonging to the same person, but the DNA results were not detected in the database, so the identity of the cigarette owner has yet to be verified."
"in addition……"
This meeting was shorter than the one last night. After Hang Qin briefly outlined the current situation of the case, Qin Shen went straight to the point and assigned tasks to each group: Group One was responsible for investigating suspicious persons entering and passing through the park entrance and near the woods in the park based on the surveillance footage from the wetland park from 3 p.m. on July 2 to 4 a.m. on July 3; Group Two was responsible for further contact with the parents of the deceased; the Technical Department followed up to assist Group One in the search; and the trace investigators and forensic doctors continued to examine the dropped objects and bodies of the deceased at the scene.
After determining the tasks of each group, Qin Shen dismissed the meeting. Xu Man and Zhao Jia were about to leave the meeting room when they were stopped by him. Li Shijie also stayed with them.
"According to the deceased's parents, the last place she was seen was her dance class. She has not been seen since then." He said to the two of them, "You two should get ready and go with me to the dance class where the deceased was before her death to ask about the situation."
Xu Man was a little surprised. She had thought that going to the scene with Qin Shen yesterday was a special case. She just happened to run into him and that's why he took her with him. After all, the criminal investigation team leader had a lot of things to do and it was unrealistic for him to take time out to take a newcomer like her with him. She didn't expect that he was actually going to take her with him personally.
If she was alone, he could say that it was because she had not decided to stay or leave, and because of Aunt Jiang's request, he would guide her in this case, but Li Shijie was also there, which meant that it was not because of this. Qin Shen was really taking good care of them both.
Thinking of this, Xu Man couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
When I called him yesterday, he spoke briefly and hung up abruptly, leaving no room for me to react. I thought Captain Qin was a rather arrogant person and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable.
It's really rare to meet such a boss.
