Chapter 38 Square Face [It’s him! He was the one who killed those two people...
The car stopped on the side of the road, and Shen Qingye was still the first one to arrive in the office.
Shen Qingye thought about it and did not tie the little stone to himself. Instead, after discussion, he placed it in the potted plant next to the window, where it could get sunlight and hear their conversation, killing two birds with one stone.
After arranging for it to call him if it needed anything, Shen Qingye took advantage of the fact that the serious crime team was not busy and started to deal with his own work.
Sister Yun and others arrived one after another, the office door opened and closed. After Shen Qingye finished his last job, he asked Sister Yun if she had any other tasks and got a negative answer. Then he picked up the small stone, stood up and walked towards the serious crime team office.
The door opened and closed. Brother Wu in the office glanced at her back and said jokingly, "Xiao Shen goes to the serious crime team so often. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to someone there?"
Fang Yun paused while drinking her tea, raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Who do you like?"
"I see that she is usually very close to Captain Yue and Luo Kaiyang..." He chuckled twice and said nothing else.
Fang Yun rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "They are colleagues, working on the case together. I shouldn't get close to them, but why should I get involved with you?"
When Brother Wu heard this, he was unhappy: "Look at what you said, I just mentioned it casually, didn't I?"
He muttered, "Besides, she always goes there by herself, and she doesn't allow others to say anything?"
Fang Yun sneered: "I work hard, but in your eyes, I am just a bunch of thieves and whores."
She put the quilt heavily on the table and said sarcastically, "You are what you see."
"Hey Fang Yun, aren't you going a bit too far?" Brother Wu's face darkened: "If she could walk upright, would she be afraid of what I would say?"
Fang Yun said bluntly: "I can't stand the fact that some people distort the facts, and even say that something that smells good smells bad."
"You!" He slammed the table and stood up. Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Sister Ding said in a deep voice: "Okay, shut up!"
She looked at Brother Wu and said, "You are a grown man, why do you care about a little girl?"
Fang Yun said sarcastically: "That's right, if you don't know, you might think you have some ulterior motives."
Sister Ding turned around and scolded her: "You should say less. It won't kill anyone."
Fang Yun curled her lips.
Brother Wu respected Sister Ding as an old senior. Hearing this, he snorted and sat down heavily: "I won't argue with you!"
He endured it for a moment and continued, "Your kindness is taken for granted. She runs to the next door whenever she can. I don't even know if she spends more than three hours in the office every day. Those who know her think she is a clerk in our office, and those who don't think she is from the serious crime squad!"
Fang Yun laughed and said, "Then shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Brother Wu was stunned: "What?"
Fang Yun said, "Other people spend no more than three hours in the office every day and can finish their work. What about you? You stay here all day every day, what have you accomplished?"
"You only see how long she stays in the office. Don't you see what contributions she made in the previous cases? Don't even mention that she only stays for three hours. Even if she doesn't come for a minute, I have no problem with that!"
"You, you, you—" Brother Wu pointed at her and kept saying "you" for a long time without being able to say anything. Fang Yun stood up directly with the documents to be handed in to various departments. Before leaving, she did not forget to sarcastically say: "You are always gossiping like a gossipy woman. If you have any problems, go find the detachment. You just talk about others behind their backs!"
Brother Wu stared at her as she walked out the door with his eyes wide open. He was furious for a long time, but could only utter one sentence: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know a good heart!"
Sister Ding and the others didn't want to pay any attention to him and just treated him coldly. After a long time, Brother Wu sat down awkwardly, and muttered a few words.

Serious Case Team Three.
Shen Qingye had no idea what happened in the office after she left. She just sat with Yue Lingchuan and others, holding her chin, waiting for someone to call.
This morning, Pingjiang Daily and all major broadcast media in the city published a police notice with photos of the victims, looking for people on the bus and soliciting clues.
Everyone was full of expectations early in the morning, but there were only a few sporadic calls and only a few clues provided, and they were all insignificant.
At present, all we can confirm is that the victim did take that bus at that time. But they had been sleeping since they got on the bus and didn't make much noise, so most passengers didn't have a deep impression of them.
Luo Kaiyang lay on the table and sighed: "Can we really get any clues from these passengers?"
Zhou Qiming also had a gloomy face, but he still scratched his head and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Maybe some people haven't had time to read the newspaper yet. Maybe there will be more calls during the lunch break?"
Shen Qingye sighed softly and felt a little anxious.
The clues about the murderer are too vague at present, and Pingjiang City has a permanent population of eight or nine million, making it difficult to investigate. But if we know his appearance, combined with the clothes he wore that day and the luggage he carried with him, we would have clearer information and the local police stations would pay more attention to the outsiders who have just moved in nearby, and the chances of finding the murderer would be greater.
Shen Qingye knew all this, but she couldn't say it.
If no one could provide any clues today, she would have to find a way to forge the identity of a passenger, or at least tell everyone she knew.
A gun-wielding murderer in the city is always a potential threat.
The group waited for a long time. During lunch, they took turns going to the cafeteria. There was always someone guarding the phone.
At 12:37 noon, the phone finally rang.
Wei Zhengyi took the lead and answered the phone: "Hello?"
A middle-aged male voice came from the other end, with a bit of restraint in his voice: "Hey, hello, hello, is this the Pingjiang Public Security Bureau?"
Wei Zhengyi looked at everyone and said, "I am."
"Um, my last name is Wang. I saw this morning's newspaper while I was having dinner just now...Are you looking for someone on the bus that came from Dongyuan to Pingjiang the day before yesterday afternoon?"
"Yes." Wei Zhengyi said seriously, "We found two bodies near Hongyun Bus Station. We need to investigate further, so we are asking for clues from the public. Mr. Wang, do you know them?"
"I know them. I was in the car at the time, and there was only an aisle between us. Because their body shapes were quite obvious, I took a few more glances at them."
Wei Zhengyi was shocked and asked again: "Did you notice that he had any conflicts with anyone or talked to anyone along the way?"
"As for conflicts... there really weren't any. They just slept as soon as they got on the bus, and so did everyone else. But as for conversations, there were some."
Wei Zhengyi asked hurriedly: "When, who is the other party?"
"It was when we were about to get off the bus at the stop. Everyone stood up. I remember there seemed to be a person in front of them, carrying a big bag and another bag on his back. There were too many people, all crowded together, so he was holding the bag. Maybe he bumped into them, and the two people started talking to him."
"What did they say?"
Mr. Wang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that he just asked him...what was in the bag, why it was so hard, etc. Anyway, he didn't say much, the car door opened, and everyone got out."
"So do you remember what he looked like? What kind of luggage was he carrying?"
Mr. Wang said: "When he turned around, I took a look. He looked... well, quite handsome, with a square face. He looked quite honest and simple. He seemed to be about the same height as the tall and thin man.
"As for the luggage... He was carrying a red and white checkered plastic bag and a black backpack. It looked bulging, so I guess it was not light."
Square face, honest and simple, carrying a red and white plaid luggage bag and a black backpack.
Shen Qingye was delighted, as they all matched.
Wei Zhengyi asked again: "What's his accent? Can you tell where he's from?"
"His accent sounds a bit strange. It's not from here, but I can't tell where exactly he is from."
Wei Zhengyi glanced at Yue Lingchuan and said, "Okay, we understand the situation. Thank you for your cooperation. If you remember any more details later, please contact us in time."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Zhengyi's eyes sparkled: "Boss, can we further narrow the scope of investigation now?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "Based on the facial features he described, and by carefully screening the new immigrants who have come to Pingjiang in the past few days, we should be able to find the suspect."
He stood up: "I'll go find the detachment..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Everyone turned around and saw Xiao Liu with an ugly face. He said in a deep voice:
"Captain Yue, there is a case."
"The body of a young child was found in a manure pit in a household in Wangjia Village, Anhua County, Puning District."
"The forensic team has already gone there, and Team 1 and Team 2 are both busy..."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. Luo Kaiyang asked in surprise: "The body of a child?"
Xiao Liu said: "Only five years old."
Everyone gasped and Shen Qingye frowned.
"So small?" Wei Zhengyi's eyes widened, and he turned back to look at Yue Lingchuan: "Boss, this..."
Yue Lingchuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Kaiyang and Xiao Shen, come with me. Lao Zhou, you stay here and make arrangements. Ask all the grassroots police stations to cooperate and focus on investigating the influx of foreign population in recent days."
Everyone answered decisively. Shen Qingye picked up the small stone on the table and followed him out quickly.
·
"The person who reported the case is Wang Shihe. According to him, the toilet at home has always been smelly recently. He originally thought it was because the weather has been a little warmer recently, so he thought of finding time to clean the toilet. As a result, when he went to pick up manure today, he suddenly encountered a hard object in it. He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that a naughty child had brought a stick or a stone in. As a result, he continued to dig and found that the object was a child's hand.
"And just a few days ago, Wang Zhiyong, the five-year-old grandson of Wang Shihua from the same village, suddenly disappeared one afternoon. The police came to investigate but found nothing unusual. They thought the child had been abducted by human traffickers. But today, when the incident happened, the local police station fished the person out and found that the deceased was the child..."
Shen Qingye frowned when he heard this: "Did someone deliberately kill the child? And bury him in the pit?"
Xiao Liu quickly introduced the case to them: "According to Wang Shihua, his grandson is usually very well-behaved and sensible. He never runs around, let alone goes near other people's toilets. So the probability that the child fell into the toilet and suffocated to death is very small."
Luo Kaiyang's brows were gloomy: "Who on earth is that person? What deep hatred do they have to attack such a young child?"
Xiao Liu said: "The situation is still unclear at the moment. Captain Qin and his men have also rushed over. We can only wait and see the body before we know for sure."
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "Okay, we got it."
He strode into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped out.
In the car, Luo Kaiyang sighed: "We haven't figured out this case yet, and here comes another one."
Yue Lingchuan said without even turning his head: "Are there not enough cases piled up in the team? If you really count them, when have we not been working on multiple fronts at the same time?"
Luo Kaiyang laughed briefly: "It's true."
His expression slowly darkened again: "A five-year-old child..."
Yue Lingchuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Shen Qingye looked at the rapidly flashing scenes outside the window, pursed her lips slightly, and her fingers kept stroking the stone tied around her neck.
Little Stone didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say dryly: "We will find the murderer..."
Shen Qingye narrowed her eyelids slightly and tapped it lightly with her fingers, as if to express that she was comforted.

Puning District is in the south of the city, about an hour's drive away.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and not far away a house was surrounded by people at its door. An old man with a haggard face burst into tears, and the policeman next to him also looked sad.
Several people looked at each other, opened the door and got out of the car at the same time.
Shen Qingye followed behind, and before he took two steps, he felt a force of gravity coming straight towards him from the side.
She was not careful for a moment and her body swayed uncontrollably. Just as she managed to steady herself, she heard a cry of "ouch". She tilted her head and saw a chubby little boy sitting on the ground. He raised his head, frowned, and after seeing clearly that he had bumped into someone, he shrank his neck and whispered:
“S-Sorry…”
Shen Qingye paused, half squatted down, and rubbed his head: "It's okay, you are not hurt?"
The little boy shook his head, looking a little timid. Shen Qingye was about to help him up when a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a dull voice:
"Sorry, sorry, I was playing with him just now and didn't pay attention to this side..."
Shen Qingye half-supported his body and subconsciously raised his eyes, and saw a tall man standing in front of him with a square face and a simple and sunny smile.
She blinked, and before she could react, she heard Little Stone screaming in her ear:
"Ahhh, that's him! He was the one who killed those two people!"
