Chapter 85: Surprise: The angle of these slippers... is perfect for going out with him...
After more than half a month of hard work, Jiang Chengtao's case was finally concluded. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the relevant case files were submitted.
The process of solving the case was actually not that difficult. Yue Lingchuan and his team had experienced more difficult situations, so this one was nothing. The main reason is that there are too many victims involved in this case and the information that needs to be sorted out is too complicated. The information on each victim, the excavation site, the autopsy report, etc. all need to be carefully verified. They spent most of their time on paperwork, and by the time all tasks were completed, it was already mid-May.
The May Day holiday is long gone.
During those busy days, no one even realized that the holiday had arrived. They only went to the cafeteria to eat at noon and found that no one was there. Only then did they realize that everyone else had the holiday.
They are the only ones who remain at their posts.
Fortunately, there were two groups of detectives from the neighboring groups accompanying them, which made everyone feel a little better.
"Boss, I want to have a good meal!"
In the office, Wei Zhengyi slumped in his chair and started yelling. During this period, everyone was so busy that they had no time to go out to find food. They either ate in the cafeteria or at a roadside restaurant. Wei Zhengyi couldn't remember the last time he had a big meal.
"Eat." Yue Lingchuan waved his hand and said generously, "You can eat whatever you want. After eating, take two days off and have a good rest at home before coming back."
Luo Kaiyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Today is Wednesday, and it will be the weekend after two days of rest. Doesn't that mean we have a four-day long vacation?"
Wei Zhengyi immediately cheered: "Woohoo, long live the boss!"
Shen Qingye couldn't help but let a smile appear on her face. She leaned back in her chair with a cup of tea, watching everyone cheering and laughing, enjoying this rare leisure time.
"Take a vacation, take a rest. Qingye, you really haven't had a good rest for a long time!" Little Stone also muttered softly. Shen Qingye lowered her eyes and looked. The sun was too strong at noon, so she moved the potted plants to the table. Little Stone was a small round piece under the newly grown succulents.
Maybe it was her illusion. She felt that the little guy had been taken care of better by her during this period of time and was much more beautiful than before when he was in the wilderness.
I feel inexplicably proud.
She rested her chin on the table, stretched out her fingertips and tapped it lightly, and whispered, "Go back and have a rest, and I'll take you out to play."
She has been buried in documents every day during this period. Seeing how hard she is working, the little guy tells her interesting things every day to make her happy. Either the flowers behind the office building had bloomed, or someone didn't walk steadily downstairs and nearly fell.
Although the matter is small, it is interesting in itself when it is spoken through its thin voice.
Shen Qingye has been busy recently, so he just puts it in a potted plant every day. He is really not a very responsible owner.
"Okay, okay!" Little Stone suddenly became happy: "Thank you Qingye!"
Shen Qingye's heart softened, and he raised his hand and nodded: "You're welcome."
Little Stone laughed and looked inexplicably well-behaved.
Shen Qingye also smiled. Looking at it, she remembered the door of Su Jinfu's house that she had asked someone to repair some time ago, and her smile deepened.
This ability, in addition to solving cases, also brought her some other fun.
Yue Lingchuan's eyes fell on her. Seeing her poking the potted plants and muttering something under her breath, he felt helpless and a little amused.
Still a child at heart.
Wei Zhengyi and Luo Kaiyang over there had already chosen where to go for dinner. Yue Lingchuan leaned back in his chair, in a good mood, and agreed to whatever they said.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the outsiders. Team Leader Yang from Group 1 walked in leisurely with a cup of tea. He looked around and asked, "Why, is the case over here closed?"
"It's over." Yue Lingchuan responded, stood up and kicked Wei Zhengyi, pulling the stool out from under his buttocks: "Please sit down."
Captain Yang didn't want to sit down at first, but he was still racked by the case and his brain was aching. He thought he could take some time off, so he sat down as he was told. He took a sip of tea and said, "It's good that it's over. I think you've been busy with this case for half a month. That's a long time."
Wei Zhengyi didn't make a fuss when his stool was taken away. He sat back on the table. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "That's not true. Jiang Chengtao looks like a successful man on the surface, but he's actually a vicious person with seven lives under his control! The places where the bodies were dumped were all more remote than the last. They were at the bottom of a river, in cement, and sealed in an abandoned building materials pipeline... It took us several days just to salvage the bodies!"
"At least we caught him." Captain Yang sighed, "It's not like us. Almost a week has passed and we still have no clue."
Shen Qingye's expression slightly changed when he heard this. He tilted his head to look and asked, "Is it the case of the headless female corpse a while ago?"
Captain Yang said, "That's right."
Shen Qingye looked thoughtful.
The case of the headless female corpse caused quite a stir some time ago. Shen Qingye was busy with the case at the time and had heard about it.
The person who reported the case is the owner of a KTV. It is said that she saw that the victim, Ruan Hongling, had not gone to work for two days in a row and no one answered the phone, so she went to her home to look for her. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, so I called the police out of worry. When the police broke into the room, they saw a headless female corpse lying on the bedroom floor. She had been dead for almost two days.
Zhou Qiming also turned around: "No clue at all?"
Captain Yang shook his head. "After investigation, we found that the deceased worked in that KTV. She was a waitress on the surface, but she was actually engaged in a special industry. We checked her interpersonal relationships and found no enemies. The only two colleagues who had an argument with her also had clear alibis at the time of the incident."
Special industries...
Luo Kaiyang thought for a moment and said, "What about her clients?"
Captain Yang said: "We are investigating, but based on the current investigation results, there are no clues."
"Nothing useful was found at the crime scene. The murder weapon was a fruit knife from the victim's home, and there were no fingerprints on it."
Wei Zhengyi hissed, "Then... if nothing can be found from the people the deceased knew... it can't be a stranger who committed the crime, right?"
"Who knows?" Captain Yang rubbed his forehead and said, "That's why it's difficult. Everyone is having a headache."
Everyone frowned. What they fear most is not revenge killings, love killings, or some extremely vicious cases, but crimes committed by strangers.
If the crime is committed in the heat of the moment, it would be even more troublesome.
If a stranger committed the crime, it means that the murderer may have no connection with the deceased, and the murder may have been committed purely on a whim. They cannot find any clues from the deceased.
In cases like this, they can only rely on whether there are eyewitnesses at the time of the crime. Otherwise, with so many people coming and going in a city every day, anyone could be the murderer, and it is impossible for them to check them one by one.
Yue Lingchuan pondered for a moment and said, "The murderer went to the trouble of cutting off the victim's head after killing him. He must be mentally ill or have a special fetish. Or his hatred for the victim has reached a certain level."
If it is the latter, then it is highly likely that a stranger could have committed the crime; but if it is the former...
Yue Lingchuan shook his head.
Shen Qingye also looked at Captain Yang and asked, "Have you found the head of the deceased?"
Captain Yang sighed, looking tired: "No."
Now there is no clue about the murderer, and the head is not found either.
Shen Qingye pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wei Zhengyi couldn't help but say, "That head isn't small. If the murderer went out with something that big, someone would have noticed it."
Captain Yang said: "We are currently visiting the masses, and we just need to see if anyone can provide any clues."
Everyone sighed. Shen Qingye thought that if Captain Yang and his team still didn't find any clues, maybe she could go to the crime scene to take a look.
After all, with this kind of ability, not to mention helping the world, at least Shen Qingye couldn't turn a blind eye to the case right under his nose.
Captain Yang took two more sips of tea before standing up. "Okay, I won't say any more. I should go back now."
"You guys should have a good rest!"
Yue Lingchuan stood up to see him off, and said, "We are planning to go out for dinner, Master, would you like to join us?"
Captain Yang waved his hand and said, "Why should I go to your celebration party? There are so many things that have not been completed yet."
Yue Lingchuan didn't force it, and said, "That's fine, I'll have someone send some over to you and Uncle Zhang later, so you don't have to go out."
Captain Yang said, "How can I starve myself? Don't worry about me. Aren't you tired enough?"
Yue Lingchuan smiled, and after sending the person back, he turned around and called his children: "Let's go! Let's go eat!"
Wei Zhengyi and Luo Kaiyang cheered instantly. Shen Qingye also put the case aside for the time being and followed everyone to a hotel in the city with excellent price and reputation.
A group of people ordered a large table of dishes. Yue Lingchuan also ordered a few dishes separately and paid extra to have them delivered to the line.
The dishes were served one after another. Wei Zhengyi buried his head in the dishes, tears streaming down his face. "Wow, it turns out that following the boss is the happiest thing. Who would have thought that one day I would be able to eat here?"
Luo Kaiyang was even more direct: "Boss, you are my second parents!"
Yue Lingchuan watched them devour everything in a flash, then glanced at the polite Shen Qingye next to him, and couldn't bear to watch them, so he laughed and scolded: "Eating can't stop you from talking!"
Wei Zhengyi was still acting funny, and Luo Kaiyang cooperated with him. Yue Lingchuan had a helpless look on his face, and Shen Qingye just found it funny when he saw him.
The group of people kept making noise until dark, and the meal was finally over.
The evening breeze blows away the day's dryness and makes people feel particularly comfortable when it touches their cheeks.
Yue Lingchuan followed Shen Qingye's car as usual, and only sent the others back after he saw her get home.
By the time he got home, it was almost eight o'clock.
The night is like splashed ink. I don’t know which tree the cicadas are chirping in a long voice. Today’s moon is very round, bright and clear.
Yue Lingchuan parked the car in the yard, casually took out the key to open the door, and was about to raise his hand to turn on the light, but his peripheral vision glimpsed below in the clear moonlight. He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The angle of these slippers...is different than when he went out.
Looking at the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, the scattered car keys are also placed differently from his usual way.
Yue Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged, but his muscles had quietly tensed up. He pretended to be calm and was about to turn on the light, but the crystal chandelier in the living room had already lit up. The next moment, a surprised voice rang in his ears:
"Surprise!"
In the bright living room, a beautiful and elegant woman who looked to be in her forties was looking at him with her arms outstretched and a big smile on her face. "How's it going, son? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Yue Lingchuan: ...
He closed his eyes and called out helplessly, "Mom."
