Chapter 21: An Old Case



Chapter 21: An Old Case

Lin Zhizhou took two steps back.

With a turn of his wrist, he took all the flower strings in her hand into his big palm, gathered them in his palm, and put them into his trouser pocket.

Shen Tinglan was stunned and said humbly, "I didn't ask you to take it all."

Lin Zhizhou smiled: "What? I didn't hear clearly." His tone was a little hoarse.

She took a deep breath and changed her tone as she spoke: "I said, if you put it in your trouser pocket, it will get damaged."

The man smiled when he heard this: "It won't go bad, it will only become more fragrant."

"Where does it smell good?" Shen Tinglan asked with a sudden thought.

I realized it later and my cheeks were burning.

Without waiting for his answer, I rushed into the Public Security Bureau and trotted into the office.

Lin Zhizhou raised his eyes slightly, watching her running away, affection flowing in his eyes.

He took out a bunch of flowers from his trouser pocket, put them to his nose and sniffed them. They were fresh and elegant, which made him fall in love with them.

It smells exactly the same as the one that someone secretly placed in the tutor's office back then.

With a flick of his fingertips, he put the string of yellow orchids into the left breast pocket of his shirt.

Pat it lightly with your hands.

Peace of mind.

Move your body and stretch at the right time. We need to decide on the marriage soon.

The boss is not young anymore.

It’s time to live a normal life.

In the office.

Shen Tinglan looked at the piles of file bags that were as high as a mountain.

My head is numb.

So many cases, so many cases, endless cases to watch.

There were several piles covered in dust, obviously old cases that had not yet been entered into the computer for archiving.

I asked Secretary Chen who was passing by: "How old is this case? Is it necessary to look through it?"

Secretary Chen felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do since his boss had such a rigorous work attitude.

"These cases are probably 17, 18, or 19 years old. They're basically past the prosecution period. The boss ordered us to look at it together."

Shen Tinglan nodded. She had a deep understanding of Lin Zhizhou's dedication to his work.

Even if one sentence doesn't match, the entire case may be overturned and started over again. She had experienced this before and it was terribly painful.

It turns out that

He is both perverted and correct. When Lin Zhizhou was a law student, he was involved in a case in which he made the opposing lawyer pay a heavy price.

Lin Zhizhou became famous in one battle.

But I didn't expect that after becoming famous, he disappeared and chose to go into politics.

It is true that talented people can shine in any path.

Shen Tinglan retracted his thoughts.

I began to look through and compare them attentively.

Fortunately, the knowledge I learned in college seems to be engraved in my bones, and it appears vividly in my mind when I want to use it.

She is such a genius.

The genius had an expression as if he had eaten shit the next second.

An old case, an old case.

As the name suggests, it means old.

The fact that someone could kill an entire family for a few dollars completely shattered her three views.

Someone stole a chicken without knowing right or wrong and took it out with a knife.

There was even a person who stabbed the noodle shop owner because his noodles were missing some soup base.

Shen Tinglan could also see the real picture of the crime scene, which was covered in blood.

I'm really afraid I'll have a nightmare when I go home tonight.

Jiangcheng, 20 years ago, was worthy of being called

'Top 10 Riot Cities'.

They start to use swords and guns as soon as they disagree with something.

Fortunately, nine-year compulsory education is now universal and legal publicity is in place.

Nowadays, Jiangcheng strives to become a civilized city every year.

As I was watching, I really saw a case with many doubts. Wang, a female teacher at Taoshui Town Middle School in Yue County, was killed in her dormitory.

There was no progress in the case for two months after the victim was discovered. Suddenly, one day two months later, the suspect voluntarily surrendered himself.

However, investigation revealed that there was no contact between the victim and the suspect, let alone a killing of love or revenge.

But it only took one week from the suspect's surrender to the case being concluded.

Case Closer——

It's him.

Shen Tinglan looked at the familiar name.

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

Full of doubts.

Think for a long time.

She still picked up the case file and walked towards Lin Zhizhou, who was also carefully reading the case file.

He sat by the window, the sun's halo shining through the window over his head, making his short black hair seem to be plated with gold.

In the shadow of his side face, his pupils were as black as ink, and his angular jawbone was even more profound and upright.

There is a notch at the brow arch, which adds a wildness.

He flipped through the pages quickly with a serious expression.

Depend on,

He is so handsome. She has had a man like him once before.

value.

The man noticed it while he was stunned.

Looking up, I could still see the confused and dazed expression on her face.

The designated thoughts are wandering in the sky again.

His eyes shifted slightly, and he stopped flipping through the papers and asked her, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the case?" His gaze rested on the case file in her hand.

Being interrupted, Shen Tinglan was embarrassed.

Recite silently in your heart, 'Form is emptiness, emptiness is form'.

Then he regained his composure.

She handed the case to Lin Zhizhou and said, "I think there is something wrong with this case, and--" Her finger fell on the position of the case closer.

"The person who closed the case seems to be an acquaintance."

Lin Zhizhou followed her finger, lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on the name.

Haha, it’s really fate.

No matter how hard you try, you still can’t find it.

I took the case and quickly flipped through it. After a few minutes, I had a general understanding of the case process from beginning to end.

Close the case file with both hands.

He looked at Shen Tinglan with interest, and the corners of his mouth curved deeper.

He pointedly said, "Tell me what's wrong?"

Shen Tinglan was stunned. "Haven't you finished reading it? Do you still need me to tell you?"

Suddenly, she felt like she was back in college. He often tested her like this, and she always deliberately gave incorrect answers or simply couldn't answer at all.

He was always very angry, but he would still patiently explain things to her slowly.

She really missed him a little.

or.

Are you trying?

Always paying attention to his expression, he spoke vaguely: "I don't really understand."

"Oh... you don't understand? Then how do you know there's a problem?" The voice was ambiguous.

Damn it, this damn oppressive feeling.

Shen Tinglan lowered her eyelashes and suddenly saw the silver watch on his wrist, the hour hand pointed to five and the minute hand pointed to six.

Great joy.

Blurt out: "It's time to get off work."

Her voice was a little loud and everyone in the office heard it.

They all looked up at the same time.

Lin Zhizhou raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, and the next second he said to everyone: "Get off work."

After receiving the order, several people rushed out of the office. If they didn't come out, they would be burned down like a multi-kilowatt light bulb.

Seeing that they had all left work, Shen Tinglan's desire to leave work reached its peak.

Staying one more second feels like a loss.

"Then I'm off work too."

The man stood up from his chair and leaned against the table, casting a large shadow.

He crossed his arms and said in an inexplicable tone, "You won't accompany me to the dinner?"

"Dinner party?" she asked in confusion.

I recalled that in the afternoon at the hospital, Director Zhang mentioned treating us to a meal.

She wasn't the one invited, and what would it look like if she went along?

She didn't want to get involved.

I want to live a few more years.

Resolutely refused: "It's none of my business."

The man suddenly pulled her slender hand and rubbed the back of her smooth hand with his fingertips.

There were some thin calluses on his fingertips, which made the tender white back of his hand feel itchy.

Silence is better than words here.

Shen Tinglan's breath rose to his throat, "Brother, you don't play by the rules."

Breathing is disordered.

He tried to push hard, but was instead brought forward by the opponent's force.

Just a fist away, face to face.

Shallow suction intertwined.

It was so ambiguous and blurry that Shen Tinglan could still see her own shadow in his eyes.

My head was buzzing and there was a burning sensation behind my ears.

The man hesitated for a moment, then used his free hand to wrap around her waist, applying neither too much nor too little force.

But it made Shen Tinglan's body tense and her ears red.

The warm touch on the lower back cannot be ignored and is very captivating.

His eyes were burning, and his voice was dark: "Then why don't you say something?"

What are you talking about, Heavenly Bodhisattva?

Please let me go. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

You give me useless things every day.

I don't know what Shen Tinglan was thinking of, but he stepped hard, and Lin Zhizhou was caught off guard and felt pain.

She took the opportunity to retreat to a safe distance.

Seeing the frown on his face, I felt a little regretful.

He said with concern: "Are you okay?"

The man remained silent, staring at her with his eyes downcast, then stood up and approached her.

His face was dark.

Shen Tinglan was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled, and he quickly took two steps back and said, “You were injured in the afternoon, don’t drink.”

She spoke as she ran, and naturally did not notice the deep affection in the man's eyes behind her.

And he looked in the direction she left and replied "Okay" affectionately.
