Yuan Xiaochuan huddled under the shade of a tree, with greasy hair on his head and a circle of yellowed sweat stains on his wrinkled collar.
"Out."
Liu Weidong next to him pushed him.
He glanced up, pressed the last cigarette butt into the mud of the flower bed, stared at the bloodshot eyes, and wiped his face.
"I really don't have the shame to see you."
Li Changan shook his head.
After he settled Xiaohui, he forgot about the things here and wandered around.
Unexpectedly, yesterday, the police station in Qishui called him and said that some details of the case needed to be re-confirmed. When he came here early this morning, he discovered that the case with solid evidence had been repeated!
"What's going on?"
Yuan Xiaochuan sighed and recounted what happened during this period, and Liu Weidong also made some additions.
The Taoist priest just sighed after hearing this.
I originally thought that what was dug out of the stone coffin was a vengeful ghost, but I didn't expect that it was rotten bones.
The door of the police station was not a place for talking, so the three of them went to Liu Weidong's house as usual.
…………
"Old Liu, why are you at the police station today?"
"They said there was new discovery in my case and asked me to go there in the morning."
"How to say?"
"Still the original statement."
"Isn't this tormenting people?!" Yuan Xiaochuan snorted a few times, a little indignantly, "I was called over today for a training. I found some trivial things and sprayed saliva on my face, and Lao Li...
Hey, what kind of day is it today to bring the three of us together to have fun?"
He was in a depressed mood and kept chattering along the way. When he got to the ground, he stopped talking, looked upstairs for a few times, and said cheerfully to Liu Weidong:
"Huh? It's so quiet? Is the sun coming out from the west? Or did Zou Ping in your house not wake up today?"
A few days ago, when the case was progressing smoothly, Zou Ping suppressed her bad temper and was too lazy to argue with the "running dogs". But now that the case has reversed, I don't know whether the neighbors have cheered up again or Zou Ping has relapsed into her old ways.
This residential building facing the street has returned to the days of slobbering and endless scolding.
It's just past noon now.
After you have eaten and drank enough, the sun is shining, and you are in a gloomy mood, it is a good time to start a scolding battle to relieve your afternoon sleepiness.
But today, things are uncharacteristically peaceful.
Liu Weidong knew it was a joke and didn't take offense.
"I've been cooking lotus seed soup for my mother-in-law these days."
He waved the ingredients in his hand. He had gone to the vegetable market early to pick out the ingredients. In one morning, he took them from the vegetable market to the police station, and then from the police station to the door of his house. It was not too troublesome.
He laughed so hard that his eyebrows flew up.
"relieve inflammation!"
The three of them joked a little and went upstairs together.
But when I got to the floor, I was surprised to find that today was not as peaceful as expected.
The security door of Liu Weidong's house was wide open, and a large group of people gathered in front of the door in darkness, whispering to each other like a group of mosquitoes buzzing.
Seeing three people coming up, the noise suddenly stopped.
Li Changan's eyes were poisonous. He looked at the crowd and saw that some people were hurriedly putting away their mobile phones.
I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
…………
The three of them hurriedly rushed in.
As soon as I arrived at the door, my heart skipped a beat.
All I could see was the big yellow dog crawling and lying motionless at the door, except for its belly rising and falling slightly.
Look inside the house again.
The room was in a mess.
The seats were knocked down, drawers and cabinets were opened, and messy items were scattered all over the floor.
And Zou Ping was lying in this mess.
Her eyes were dull and she didn't react at all to the arrival of the three people, like a soulless puppet. Her pale face faced the door, and you could see the dried tears and solidified snot. On her thin body, every rib was exposed.
in the air.
Yes.
She had no clothes on her body, or it could be said that someone had stripped her down to her underwear.
His only movable arm was handcuffed behind his back, a rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he was wrapped several times with tape.
"Ping'er!"
Liu Weidong's scream frightened the two Taoist priests.
Yuan Xiaochuan hurriedly dispersed the crowd, Li Changan found a sheet, and Liu Weidong had already rushed forward, carefully removed the tape and rag, and held Zou Ping in his arms.
Caressing the back and comforting softly:
"Okay, okay, it's okay, I'll be back."
for a long time.
Only then did Zou Ping's dull face look a little angry.
She looked around and then at the three of them, her voice was hoarse and hoarse.
she says:
"go out."
Yuan Xiaochuan didn't hear clearly, but went up to ask: "How could this happen..."
Halfway through the conversation.
"Get out!"
Sharp and hysterical.
But Yuan Xiaochuan, from criminal police to traffic police, has a heart of stone and a head of wood.
The facts of the case have not been revealed, so where can I leave?
It was Liu Weidong who looked over pleadingly. The Taoist sighed and dragged him out.
There were two less people in the room, and it suddenly became quiet.
Liu Weidong didn't ask any questions, he just silently helped his wife put on her clothes and put on her wheelchair. But after doing all this, what was waiting for him was...
"You go out too."
Liu Weidong's expression turned bitter and he called softly.
"Wife."
But just these two words actually caused the strong shell on Zou Ping's face to collapse.
"Which one is your wife?!" she cried, "When those lackeys scolded me, you didn't come out and call me 'wife'; when they took off my clothes, you didn't come out and call me 'wife'; those turtles (miscellaneous)
)When you are taking pictures of me, why don’t you come out and call me ‘wife’?!”
Her emotions became more and more intense, and she even raised her hand and slapped Lao Liu.
Liu Weidong closed his eyes and did not dodge.
However.
This slap fell on the face, but it was unexpectedly light.
Liu Weidong opened his eyes blankly, and what he saw was his wife's sad face. The tears in his eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
"Weidong."
Zou Ping begged.
"Please, please go out first and leave me alone for a while."
Liu Weidong opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out. He just raised his head and walked out of the door, leaving a small crack in the door, and then sat silently in front of the door.
I sat here from day to night.
until……
"Old Liu."
Yuan Xiaochuan sighed and came up to comfort him.
"Let's go get something to eat."
Liu Weidong said nothing and just shook his head.
"I know you are worried about Zou Ping." Li Changan continued to persuade, "In this case, I will help you guard here while you eat a few bites of food."
Liu Weidong still just shook his head.
Now Yuan Xiaochuan was a little annoyed.
"What's the point of you and your wife having this name? If the matter can't be solved, don't starve yourself first and get into trouble!"
Liu Weidong still shook his head blankly.
But this time...
"Weidong."
"ah?"
All kinds of consolation outside the door were useless, but a call from inside the door made Liu Weidong jump out of his wits and stand up suddenly.
But perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, he swayed and almost fell over. Fortunately, Li Changan had quick eyesight and stepped forward to help him.
But Liu Weidong couldn't care less about this. He just stared at the room through the crack in the door, like a primary school student going to the office to find his teacher, expecting and fearing at the same time.
"Wife, did you call me?"
"Um."
Inside the door, Zou Ping responded.
"Come in, I'm hungry."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liu Weidong laughed out loud and happily opened the door and entered.
"Honey, what are you eating? I'll cook your favorite braised pork, mapo tofu and steamed eggs for you!"
"No."
Zou Ping acted very calmly, as if the shame and anger during the day were just a dream. She even changed her clothes and washed her face.
"Just a bowl of porridge."
How could Liu Weidong not obey? He cooked a pot of lotus seed porridge and gave Zou Ping a bowl.
Then, Zou Ping said that she was sleepy, so he quickly pushed Zou Ping into the bedroom.
During this period, Yuan Xiaochuan wanted to ask questions several times, but was blocked by the Taoist priest. It was not until Liu Weidong finished coaxing his wife to sleep and started to clean up the house again that he finally couldn't hold it any longer.
"Old Liu, are you hiding something from me?"
Liu Weidong was stunned and subconsciously retorted:
"No way."
Finally, for fear that Yuan Xiaochuan would not believe it, I added another sentence.
"How can it be?!"
Unfortunately, he was so panicked that even Li Changan couldn't hide it, let alone Yuan Xiaochuan, a current traffic policeman with a background in criminal investigation.
"Liu Weidong!"
Yuan Xiaochuan's eyes were a little aggressive.
"I just took a look around the house. Although the room was in a mess, mobile phones, wallets and other belongings were all there, so the gangsters were definitely not seeking money. The furniture, appliances, door and window glass were all intact, and even Zou
There aren’t many signs of beating on Ping’s body, so it’s definitely not revenge!”
"In addition, all the cabinets and drawers have basically been rummaged through. The result is obvious. The gangster is clearly looking for something in your house with a premeditated plan!"
"Honestly, what is it?!"
Liu Weidong put down what he was doing and glanced at the bedroom.
"Let's go out and talk."
…………
As usual, there is a barbecue stall downstairs.
As usual, a barbecue table and two beers.
"What is it?!"
Yuan Xiaochuan's suddenly high-pitched voice almost drowned out the hustle and bustle of the street, attracting the attention of passers-by. He immediately realized his gaffe and lowered his voice, but he still couldn't help but poke the table with his hand.
"You didn't tell me such an important thing?!"
Liu Weidong reluctantly defended himself.
"Xiaokong won't tell you?"
"He doesn't believe me? You don't believe it either?!"
Yuan Xiaochuan was really pissed off.
Just now Liu Weidong revealed the matter of the USB flash drive. Only then did he know what the gangster was looking for and why Zou Ping was stripped of her clothes. It turned out that she had been hiding the USB flash drive close to her body.
Entertainment club surveillance video!
What a depth charge.
Even if it cannot be directly used in the case, it can still muddy the waters and attract the attention of higher-ups and even the central government. But because of the secret thoughts of these two couples, the result...
Yuan Xiaochuan made the final save:
"Don't tell me you don't have backup?"
But what he saw was old Liu Wen shrinking his head and neck.
"you……"
He wanted to curse.
But.
"boom!"
The familiar sound of falling objects sounded behind him.
Yuan Xiaochuan's first reaction was that Zou Ping started throwing things downstairs again.
But this time the sound was much louder than usual. Could it be that the big yellow dog was also thrown down? Where did she get such strength?
He turned around angrily.
"Zou Pangpan, you are angry again..."
The words stopped abruptly.
In his stunned gaze, Zou Ping was lying on her back on the cracked floor tiles, bright blood spreading from under her body.
