Death Photo Gallery (4)

Han Changlin was called to the office by Director Liu Maoping. He noticed at first glance that Director Liu was in a good mood this time. He was reading something, and there was an open collection of Di Renjie's detective stories on the table.

When Liu Maoping saw him coming in, he put down the materials in his hand and took off his reading glasses. He smiled and gestured, "Changlin, sit down."

"The director wants to talk to me about something, so I won't sit down."

"Nothing." Liu Maoping handed him the materials in his hand. "Last week I went to the provincial government to attend the year-end symposium. Here are the materials for the symposium. Take a look."

Han Changlin took a three or four-page report. He was still very surprised that Director Liu would show him the report on the provincial department's meeting.

He took a few steps back, sat on the sofa, and began to read with both hands. The first two pages were basically the provincial department's review of the province's criminal investigation work this year, a summary of experience, and suggestions.

But on the third page, he saw a sentence that suddenly unleashed his inner passion, and he felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

The provincial department highly recognized the criminal investigation work of the Jinyang Public Security Bureau on the November 16 murder case this year.

Han Changlin found that the fingers holding the materials were also dancing along with the syllables of the characters.

He read it over and over again, and then he remembered that he was sitting in Director Liu's office. He realized that Director Liu would definitely bring up this incident in front of all his colleagues at the year-end commendation meeting. Perhaps this was the year in his many years as a police officer that he would surpass Lu He.

He put the report neatly back in front of Director Liu and said excitedly, "Director Liu, I will continue to work harder next year."

Director Liu nodded, with a slight sigh in his tone, "Actually, before I went to attend the year-end symposium this year, I had no idea. At that time, we were still under the shadow of the 11.16 massacre. The provincial department called me and said that it would send experts to investigate, but I still believed that you, Han Changlin, and your second team could solve the case!"

Han Changlin certainly remembered that Director Liu called him to his office and criticized him severely before he gave him a deadline of ten days to solve the case. Although it took more than ten days, the case was finally solved. He understood that Director Liu should have done a lot of work to stabilize the morale of the troops at that time.

Liu Maoping said generously: "So, the confidence for this symposium was given to me by you, Han Changlin."

Han Changlin was flattered and waved his hand, saying, "Director Liu, this is too serious. This is all thanks to your wise leadership and the efforts of all your colleagues!"

Liu Maoping smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. However, I didn't call you here today to discuss your achievements."

Han Changlin nodded seriously.

Liu Maoping said earnestly: "As the people's police, we should always put the interests of the people first and personal honor and loss second. I will have higher requirements for your next work, not only next year, but also the Spring Festival is coming soon. You must attach great importance to the end-of-year work and make sure it is done to the best of your ability!"

Han Changlin immediately saluted and said, "Don't worry, Director Liu. I will definitely not let you and the police down."

"Also, the performance of the young people in your team is good, which shows that you have done a lot of work. You still need to work hard to train them!"

Han Changlin understood that in the November 16th family murder case, Zhao Leiting and Meng Siqi both had outstanding performances. Compared to Team One, which was filled with college students from famous universities every year, Zhao Leiting and Meng Siqi were almost rejected by the police at that time. Team Two accepted them, and they made Team Two more complete and prouder. This was enough to show that Team Two was better than Team One in cultivating young people.

He said solemnly: "Director Liu, I will continue to do a good job of passing on knowledge and skills."

"Okay, I have nothing to do here. I just bought a copy of Di Renjie's Detective Mysteries. You can take it back and have a look." Director Liu pointed to three thick books on the table whose covers had not yet been removed.

Everyone knows that Director Liu likes Di Renjie, and everyone also knows that he likes to give books to others, but this was the first time Han Changlin received a gift from Director Liu, and he knew about it for the first time.

He strode back to the office with the heavy gift in his arms. He remembered Director Liu's praise and his reminder.

As soon as they walked down the aisle of the office, Zhao Leiting looked over and shouted, "Captain Han, what books did you buy?"

Han Changlin smiled and said, "What's your business?"

Zhao Lei Ting chuckled.

After placing the book in the most conspicuous and safest place on the table, Han Changlin moved it left and right to ensure that it was placed stably and neatly.

After finishing everything, he lay on the chair, hugging the back of the chair with his hands, enjoying a moment of pleasure.

After a while, he remembered what Director Liu said, that the final work at the end of the year had to be done to perfection. He raised his head and called Zhao Leiting, who came over and asked, "The Korean team is looking for me."

"How did you find out about the photo you mentioned last time?"

Zhao Leiting said, "Captain Han, you have been busy recently, and I haven't reported the progress to you in detail. Siqi and I have found the girl who is suspected to be missing, but we still need to investigate further."

Han Changlin has been busy with his year-end work recently and has not been focusing on the photo. He said carefully, "You and Xiao Meng will conduct further investigations and report to me regularly. We will have a result before the Spring Festival."

"I understand, Korean team, don't worry."

Zhao Leiting said as he turned around, Han Changlin suddenly remembered something, "Hey, Zhao Leiting."

"The Korean team?"

"Be careful! Xiao Meng's safety cannot be compromised!"

"I understand." Zhao Lei Ting nodded heavily.

Zhao Leiting returned to his seat and looked at Meng Siqi who was writing at a desk not far away. He thought to himself that Captain Han was in a good mood today and should have returned from Director Liu. It seemed that he attached great importance to this case. He had to find Meng Siqi to investigate further.

At dusk, Zhao Leiting drove the police station's spare car and stopped not far from the entrance of a KTV. There happened to be a big tree on the side of the road, which could effectively prevent others from spying on them.

He and Meng Siqi looked quietly at the main entrance of the KTV. The car followed Jin Yaming's taxi.

In the past two days, Meng Siqi and Zhao Leiting have been following Jin Yaming privately. Although Jin Yaming's activities are very simple, usually going to the photo studio, going out for a meal or something like that, it was still a little strange that he went out to a KTV for the first time.

"Did he ask his girlfriend to come sing?" Zhao Leiting asked.

Meng Si looked out the front window and saw Jin Yaming getting out of the taxi, looking around, and then quickly walking into the KTV. She said, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Both of them were wearing casual clothes. Zhao Leiting thought about it and said, "Okay."

The two got off the car and walked straight into the KTV. This KTV was relatively large, and there was a receptionist in the lobby. She came up and asked, "Have you two booked a private room?"

Zhao Lei Ting nodded and shook his head. Meng Siqi kept looking at the front desk. Jin Yaming took a card and walked towards the aisle of the private room. If he didn't catch up, he would be lost.

"Let's sing, you go and pay the bill." Meng Siqi urged Zhao Leiting, and then asked, "Where is your toilet? I want to use it first."

Seeing the anxious look on her face, the waiter immediately pointed in the direction of the aisle. Meng Siqi thanked him and followed him into the aisle of the private room.

Zhao Leiting understood what she meant, but he was still worried about her safety. Before he could say a word, Meng Siqi left.

Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Meng Siqi quickened her pace. Just as she turned a corner, Jin Yaming's back appeared. He was standing at the door of a private room. The door opened and he walked in.

I didn't notice it just now, but this corridor is surrounded by private rooms and has no windows, so it seems particularly stuffy. The air seems to be flowing still, and the howling songs of ghosts and wolves can be heard from all directions, making people feel very disgusted.

She walked slowly to the door of the private room. Since she had been followed here, she had to find out what was going on. She might as well pretend to be a waitress and deliberately go through the wrong door.

After she had this thought, she pushed the door tentatively. Generally speaking, the doors of KTV private rooms would not be closed. However, this door did not move at all. Was it locked from the inside?

As she was thinking, a figure came in from a distance. She turned around and walked forward at a normal pace. It was a waiter, holding a wine and fruit plate in his hand. When they met, Meng Siqi deliberately asked, "Excuse me, is the bathroom in front?"

"Yes, straight in and to the right."

In fact, Meng Siqi saw the direction arrow. She thanked him and continued walking forward. Looking back, she saw the waiter knocking on Jin Yaming's door. After a while, the door opened and a man stretched out his hands to take the wine and fruit plate from the waiter.

Meng Siqi suspected that Jin Yaming didn't come here to sing with his girlfriend. While thinking about it, she walked into the bathroom, washed her hands, and tucked her hair under her temples.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She had a small, fragile face. How did she become a criminal police officer and have the courage to track down criminal suspects? She felt that she was a little too timid. She pursed her lips and smiled to encourage herself.

Returning to the corridor, she walked past the box without lingering, intending to meet up with Zhao Leiting, but Zhao Leiting was not in the hall. She guessed that he must have gone in to find her, and perhaps because of his status, he would not seek help.

Now it was a little dark for the two of them, so she hurriedly asked the front desk, and it turned out that Zhao Leiting had booked a room. She immediately turned back again and pushed open the door of the private room Zhao Leiting had booked, but the lights inside were turned on, but there was no one in sight.

She didn't know whether to wait here or in the living room. Zhao Leiting must be worried that she would look for him everywhere. She stood at the door for a while, enduring all kinds of ghosts and wolves howling. The sound insulation of KTV in this era is not very good. Although it is a relatively luxurious KTV, the hardware conditions are there. Strictly speaking, it should be called a karaoke hall or singing hall in this era.

She stood there for a while, then took small steps towards the direction of the hall. Just as she was about to turn around, a strong gust of wind came like a thousand horses galloping. Mr. Gao turned the corner in an instant and bumped into her.

The figure seemed to be prepared, and a strong arm instantly held her in his arms.

Originally his arm hit her, but he dodged and pushed her head against his chest.

It was a really strong blow, hitting her full in the chest, but it didn't hurt at all. The sweat stains and the unique wood smell of men intertwined together, but it was not unpleasant at all. The man held her shoulders with both hands and helped her to stand steadily. When she looked up, her eyes were stunned.

Lu He? It was actually Lu He.

Lu He's expression was also stunned for a moment, but his eyes were still as cold as water, without any special changes. He didn't say anything. The palms of his hands holding her arms felt a little warm. He gently turned her body to the side, and she followed him like a puppet, and was pressed against the wall by him.

What was he going to do? She was nervous and curious, but the moment he let go, a group of people rushed over from behind him.

His eyelids drooped slightly, as if to say to her, "Are you okay?", and then he joined the group of people.

They were all colleagues in the police station's first team, and there were also police officers who participated in the operation, a total of more than a dozen people, it should be a lightning operation.

They took the access card, swiped the door, and rushed into the room to search. It turned out that these doors required access cards to open from the outside.

The movement was simple, smooth and powerful. For a moment, Meng Siqi was fascinated by Lu He and the others' quick movements.

"Thinking about the period..."

Zhao Lei Ting finally showed up, his face full of anxiety, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Sorry." She apologized first, "I was too impatient just now."

"It's okay." Zhao Lei Ting said as he watched a team working on a case: "Why don't we check out and wait outside? We can't delay their work."

That's true, maybe Lu He is working on an important case, and it's not a good idea for the two of them to just stand there stupidly. She nodded, and they went out together and got into the car. The two decided to observe the situation on the scene again.

There were three or four police cars parked at the gate, with alternating red and blue police lights flashing in the night. This city and this sky seemed particularly peaceful in this light.

About twenty minutes later, the people inside came out. Not only police officers, but they also escorted a dozen scantily clad men and women.

Meng Siqi saw Jin Yaming at first sight. Although he lowered his head, his tall and thin figure and slightly curly hair were too obvious. The buttons on his shirt were all unbuttoned, revealing a large area of ​​flesh, which was very different from his previous image.

"Sweeping prostitution?" Zhao Lei Ting asked doubtfully, "One team is busy enough."

"Is it because of the crackdown on prostitution?" Meng Siqi guessed.

"It's possible that other people can't understand the team's tactics."

Meng Siqi kept looking out the window. Lu He was the last one to come out. He had a serious expression and was wearing a brown leather jacket, which seemed to be his usual casual attire. He was tall and slender, and even in the flickering light of the night, he was still very dazzling.

He slowly turned his head and looked in her direction with a cold gaze, spots of light dancing on his three-dimensional features.

Meng Siqi shrank her shoulders. Actually, he wouldn't see her in the dark space of the car, but she still avoided it unnaturally.

She thought back to the scene just now, where she bumped into the other person's strong arms. The feeling was very solid and did not make her feel disgusted, but she still felt it was inexplicably strange.

"Doesn't Jin Yaming have a girlfriend?" Zhao Leiting suddenly said.

Meng Siqi felt as if he had been pulled back to reality. "Huh?"

"I didn't see Jin Yaming's girlfriend, so I thought he was arrested by mistake? Could it be that Jin Yaming was soliciting prostitution without telling his girlfriend?"

Meng Siqi: “…”
