Chapter 431 – The corpse hidden in the tea garden (1)
Although the case was clearly investigated, Song Anchun was sad for a whole week. What made Chen Bai even more headache was that Bi Zhongting's family was still there. Because of this relationship, the deceased's parents could only go see him by themselves.
"call!"
After coming out of Bi Zhongting's parents' house, Chen Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go! You can go back!"
He didn't go out during the May Day holiday, so Chen Bai went to Zhengxingde to choose some tea.
"Chen Bai, I heard that you are not only teaching at the Public Security University but also working as a consultant in the police force, right? You look tired. You have been involved in another case recently, right?"
"Who says it isn't?"
Zhengxingde has many branches in Binhai. The owner of this store knows me well, so I will come here to drink tea when I have nothing to do.
"Actually, when I was young, my dream was to be a police officer, but unfortunately we couldn't study well. In the end, we had to open a shop to make ends meet."
"Old Sun, are you being too modest? Zhengxingde is one of the best brands in the country, not to mention in Binhai. How can you manage to own such a store and still make ends meet? I'm still stuck with a mortgage.
Torture, this is called barely surviving."
The two smiled, and at this moment Chen Bai received a call.
"Hello? What? Okay, I'll be there soon."
Chen Bai put down the phone and said helplessly.
"Old Sun, are you familiar with Songxi?"
"Songxi? We go to Songxi every year to pick some spring tea and bring it back. What's wrong?"
Chen Bai shook his head and picked up the keys and cigarette case on the table.
"Jasmine, you don't want to drink anymore?"
"No more drinking, I have something else to do."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he drove back to the police station. As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw Bai Hongwei's gloomy face.
"Why did you call me back?"
Chen Bai was a little nervous because Bai Hongwei only said something happened on the phone and didn't say anything about it at all.
"I called you back this time because I have something very important to tell you."
Everyone in the office was staring at Bai Hongwei. In fact, they knew that there must be another case somewhere and they needed to go there.
"Okay, stop pretending to be sophisticated here, just tell me what's going on!"
Although Chen Bai was a little helpless, he also knew that sooner or later they would have to face this matter.
"Director Ding just told me... that in order to make up for the case we had on vacation and the missed May Day holiday this time, he specially booked us tickets to Songxi. We can leave tomorrow morning."
The sudden reversal caught several people off guard, but then everyone burst into cheers.
"Great, we can go play now."
"Why Songxi?"
Chen Bai was a little curious, why did Director Ding choose a place like Songxi?
"Because although Songxi is in Fujian, flying from here to Songxi only costs 300 per person."
"What are you talking about! The director personally paid for us to play. No matter where we go, it will be fun."
Li Huan nodded, but did not understand the meaning of Bai Hongwei's words.
"Yes, yes, it's fun no matter where you go."
"Are you dissatisfied?"
Director Ding's sudden words startled Li Huan. Looking at Li Huan, Chen Bai and others laughed. In fact, when Director Ding came in just now, only Li Huan, who had been staring at the computer, didn't notice.
"Everyone, I have worked hard for you some time ago. You have delayed your hard-earned vacation before, and you have not been idle since May Day. Now you can finally rest for a while. So this time, I specially paid for it myself to invite you to travel.
Of course, I would also like to express my gratitude to Chen Bai, you have really worked hard this year."
"Yes! I have been a consultant for almost a year!"
Only then did Chen Bai realize that he would have joined the police force for a year in three months.
"Thank you for your hard work this year and helping us solve so many major cases. I can't imagine what would have happened without you!"
"Director Ding, you're welcome. I came here uninvited."
Everyone embarked on the journey. On the plane, Song Anchun saw Chen Bai staring out the window and asked with some confusion.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"No, no!"
In fact, after Bi Zhongting's case was solved, Chen Bai returned to the nursing home again.
"That's right! Thank you, comrade police, for your hard work."
Chen Bai actually thought about not telling Uncle Wang the truth about the case, so as not to make Uncle Wang sad. But Chen Bai also knew that for Uncle Wang, the two people who came most often suddenly stopped coming. It was obvious that this matter
Something is wrong.
"Uncle Wang, I hope you can just know this matter yourself and don't tell others. Just let them think that the two children are too busy at work and will have no time in the future."
Chen Bai knows that not everyone can withstand such a blow, especially after they are so old.
"Okay, it's just a pity for these two good boys."
In fact, Chen Bai has been thinking in his heart, what is the cause of this kind of thing? Is Chen Zilong himself such a person, or is it just a momentary loss of control, but no matter what, such a kind girl will never come back.
“The scenery in Songxi is really beautiful, no worse than the island.”
Song Anchun took a deep breath. Because there are many tea mountains here, even the air here is filled with the fragrance of tea.
"The air here is so good. It would be great if I could live here all my life."
Seeing a smile on Song Anchun's face, Chen Bai felt relieved. He was afraid that Song Anchun was still sad because of Bi Zhongting's incident, but at this time a man driving a van stopped in front of everyone.
"Are you Chen Bai?"
"Is it me, Lao Sun, who asked you to come?"
Chen Bai turned around, looked at everyone and explained.
"That's right, I have a friend here who has helped me prepare all the food, drink and fun for the past few days. You can just follow me."
Everyone nodded, and after getting in the car, the man took Chen Bai and others to a tea garden.
"This is it..."
Before the man finished speaking, Chen Bai saw a man chasing a thin child with a broom in his hand.
"Stop, stop, don't run!"
The two of them ran into the tea field. At this moment, the child suddenly fell in the tea field, and then let out a cry of surprise.
"what happened?"
Everyone hurried forward, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all shocked.
"Quick, call the police!"
Chen Bai looked serious because a rotten human hand was clearly exposed in the gully of the tea field.
"Oh! I never imagined that you would come to a small place like ours."
Chen Bai was a little embarrassed, because they didn't come here to solve the case at all.
"Yes, actually we are here for vacation."
Chen Bai quickly cleared up the relationship. He really didn't want to solve the case while on vacation. Besides, it's best not to point fingers at other people's cases when they haven't invited you.
"Captain, we found a boarding pass in the deceased's underwear pocket."
As he spoke, a young police officer handed the evidence bag in his hand to the criminal police captain. After taking a look, the man said something that made Chen Bai instantly interested in the case.
"Why is it this guy! This family is so pitiful. All three sons died within a year, and not one of them is left."
"What did you say?"
Chen Bai was a little surprised. When everyone saw Chen Bai's look, they knew that Chen Bai must be interested in this case.
"Yes! This man's name is Chen Mingyang. About half a year ago, his third brother Chen Mingguang drowned while swimming. Less than half a year ago, their second brother also died."
Chen Bai frowned after hearing this. This kind of thing is too coincidental, and anything that is too coincidental must have problems.
"Brother, if you don't mind, how about we cooperate on this case?"
Bai Hongwei and others looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why Chen Bai was suddenly so interested in this case, they could only do this now.
