Sitting in the back seat of the police car, Bu Tianxuan sat by the window, his cold eyes moving between the passing crowds.
Dongfang Yaoyao sat between the two of them, and Zhang Ming sat in the driver's seat and drove. The atmosphere in the car was very strange for a time.
When passing by the snack street, Dongfang Yaoyao's face was directly pressed against the car window - his eyes were shining as he pressed against Bu Tianxuan's body.
“That candied haws on a stick looks delicious!”
“And grilled skewers! Absolutely delicious!”
“I haven’t eaten Teppanyaki for a long time!!”
Gui Ming's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. He felt that he should stop his master from doing such a shameful act, but for a moment he couldn't bring himself to stop him from calling Dongfang Yaoyao - and he felt that he didn't
Way to stop a hungry wolf.
Sure enough, after being raised at home for a long time, he was completely out of control when he was released. I wish I had known to let Zuo Qiushi finish cooking before coming out...
All ingredients from Dongfang Yaoyao's three meals a day to desserts are all natural and strictly controlled, high-demand products. If she were to change her taste immediately and eat these snacks filled with additives and seasonings, it would be impossible for her to go three days without diarrhea.
possible.
Bu Tianxuan really couldn't bear the restless woman pressing half of his waist, so he put his hand against her face and pushed in.
"If you want to eat, give it to me until the case is investigated! Are you a pig? It's not been three hours since you last ate, right?!"
Dongfang Yaoyao still kept pushing forward, like a tireless caterpillar, still begging in his mouth -
"It's just once! And I won't bargain! I promise to come back as soon as possible!" After saying that, he vowed to put his hand on his chest and make a promise, as if he was performing a matter of life and death.
That’s not the point at all, right?!
Gui Ming helplessly held his forehead. He really shouldn't believe Dongfang Yaoyao who was seduced by delicious food——
Seeing that Dongfang Yaoyao's coquettish behavior on Bu Tianxuan had no effect at all, he suddenly turned around and focused his attention on Zhang Ming, who was still driving.
Suddenly, Zhang Ming felt as if he was being targeted by tarsal maggots, and immediately Dongfang Yaoyao pounced on him.
"Captain Zhang! You are so handsome, young, promising, tolerant and generous~~ Stop the car and let me go buy something! I promise it will only be a while! I will definitely not waste your time!"
The woman's flattering smile came as soon as she said it, and her infinite approach made Zhang Ming's irritability caused by the traffic jam even more anxious——
"This is a police car! It's already abnormal to drive you up! Now you have to get out of the car to buy something and come up to eat?!"
If the situation reported by Xiao Yang didn't coincide with the case, he really wouldn't want to place his hopes on these three people!
Dongfang Yaoyao, who has no resistance to snacks, is also very shameless at the moment——
"Anyway, you've made an exception. If there's one, there's two~~ And there's a traffic jam right now, so I'll be back soon!"
There was mist in her phoenix eyes, and she was so charming that it was impossible to refuse any of her requests. Zhang Ming tried his best not to look at Dongfang Yaoyao's face, but in the end he was defeated.
"Give you ten minutes! If you don't come, I'll drive away!"
"okay!"
Dongfang Yaoyao slapped Zhang Ming on the shoulder, turned around, opened the car door and rushed out——
Dongfang Yaoyao, who scanned around and carried five snack bags with his fingers, returned triumphantly with a bunch of Big Mac candied haws stuffed in his mouth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuah!! This is a good time!"
After saying that, he sat on Bu Tianxuan's lap, then circled back to the middle of the two of them.
Zhang Ming's eyebrows twitched wildly, unable to connect this bitchy foodie with the domineering woman at the crime scene just now.
After another full hour of driving, we arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Department. Dongfang Yaoyao also put all the snacks into his stomach five minutes before getting off the car. Zhang Ming only felt that there were all kinds of snacks mixed in his car.
The taste is really boring.
The entire public security bureau has set up a special task force for this case, and the office is filled with a tense atmosphere at the moment. Zhang Ming, as an executive member of the task force, is naturally under the greatest pressure, and there is still no progress in the case.
Dongfang Yaoyao was about to enter the building of the Public Security Department when he was immediately stopped by the police officer in charge of security.
"This... you..."
The woman's appearance was really touching, and they were also very surprised. Why would such a beautiful woman get out of Captain Zhang's car... Is it possible?
Dongfang Yaoyao pointed at Zhang Ming behind him with a smile——
"If you don't know me, you must know him, right?"
The two police officers cast probing glances at Zhang Ming - and Zhang Ming sighed softly and introduced seriously:
"These three are the witnesses I brought to provide important clues to the serial murder case. They are not suspicious persons."
"Since Captain Zhang said so..." The two police officers also looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, "You three, please come in."
Dongfang Yaoyao walked into the glass door of the Public Security Bureau first, and the other two followed him.
After the woman came in, she started to inquire around, looking left and right, just like a country person entering the city——
"It's really similar to what was filmed in the TV series! The atmosphere is quite serious!"
The staff walking in the Public Security Bureau looked at the three people who were out of place with strange eyes. Dongfang Yaoyao took off his plaid jacket and knotted it around his waist in the car. Everyone around him was wearing formal clothes. After all, he was a police officer.
In the office, the woman's dress appears extremely undisciplined.
Before Gui Ming, he didn't think that Dongfang Yaoyao was a person who didn't know how to read the atmosphere. Now the sights around him made him feel like a light on his back. Only then did he realize that his master had no other way of understanding the outside world except the TV. Zuo Qiu
Occasionally, Shi would show her the messages refreshed on her phone, but she was not interested in them.
He is just a child who has never seen the world. When he is released, he completely lets himself go.
The last outing was okay, at least I didn't meet many people. This time I went to the city and lost almost everyone I could...
Gui Ming, who was silently calculating in his heart, could feel the fiery gazes of the female employees of the Public Security Bureau, and had no choice but to respond to them with a forced smile. Bu Tianxuan, on the other hand, completely ignored the gazes that were either admiring or hostile, and moved the iceberg as quickly as he moved.
It releases cold air to the outside all the time.
"Where are the files?" Dongfang Yaoyao had finished the visit. He turned around and stared at Zhang Ming with a pair of watery eyes, "Take us directly there!"
Zhang Ming shook his head in embarrassment——
"I don't have the key to the archive, and..."
"And what?" Dongfang Yaoyao looked at Zhang Ming's embarrassed look and knew that there might still be some obstacles to seeing the files immediately.
"Part of the files are still in the hands of the leaders, and they are still in the meeting..."
Gui Ming immediately frowned——
"You were assigned to investigate the latest progress of the case, but the boss is still sitting in the office discussing it?"
Zhang Ming was also blocked and speechless. The main reason why he was asked to come out alone to support him was that the victim this time was not that prominent among the many victims, and the first and third victims of the case were all
As the wife of an executive, coupled with the increasing pressure from public opinion, it is now extremely difficult to find someone to stand out.
But it happened that he, Zhang Ming, had just taken the position of captain based on his performance, he had no connections or support, and his resume was not very rich. Letting him step in and bear the pressure was the most appropriate way for the leaders in the department to deal with it.
Zhang Ming is clean now. No matter how much the reporter investigates, there is no way that he will find an unfounded crime. However, other leaders who have been in the hall for a long time have more or less hidden secrets that are unknown to the public. Mostly because of these hidden secrets, they
The wrist can be expanded.
The leaders who recommended Zhang Ming also talked to him privately, hoping that he could become a "shield" to deal with the media and public opinion. However, he has never been a member of this field, and he is not like a public relations agency who can deceive the public with rhetoric, and the police
The speaking organizations now dare not make a single utterance, and they must be extremely careful when saying a word. Once someone with ulterior motives gets caught, it is very likely that they will be in a doomed situation.
This is the biggest reason why Zhang Ming is so troubled now, and the police's behavior of choosing prominent victims to investigate the case first also makes him feel chilled. However, the rules of the world are like this, and he cannot challenge it by himself.
In particular, the city leaders responsible for this series of cases have exerted increasing pressure since the seriousness of the case became serious, causing panic in the entire hall, not to mention the current leader... who is in the office upstairs.
Speak!
Just when Zhang Ming didn't know how to explain to Dongfang Yaoyao, a gentle female voice suddenly appeared behind them——
"Dongfang...are you Dongfang Yaoyao?"
The four of them all turned around, and a middle-aged woman wearing a light-colored cheongsam came over carrying a wooden lunch box. Although there were some wrinkles on her face, she could still see the amazing look she had when she was young.
The woman looked very excited when she saw Dongfang Yaoyao and hurried forward, and Dongfang Yaoyao also recognized the person at a glance——
"After so many years, you are still so beautiful..."
The lunch box in the woman's hand shook slightly, with nostalgia and gratitude in her eyes.
Dongfang Yaoyao held her extended hand with a nostalgic smile on his face——
"You also take good care of yourself. If I hadn't known better, I wouldn't have seen that you are fifty years old..."
The woman nodded repeatedly——
"Yes, if you hadn't helped me back then... eh! I won't talk about those sad things. I brought food to my husband. Do you want to eat together? "
The woman realized that her words were abrupt again, and then realized that something was wrong with the situation - and quickly asked Dongfang Yaoyao -
"You...why are you here? What happened?"
"We are here to investigate a serial murder case. No, we are worried that we cannot directly investigate the case file!"
After Dongfang Yaoyao said this, the woman immediately looked at Zhang Ming with angry eyes - Zhang Ming was also confused.
"What's going on with your criminal police team? You're actually neglecting a noble person like this?"
Zhang Ming was about to speak when Gui Ming spoke first——
"He does not have enough authority, and the superiors are still in meetings, and we are also trying to figure out a solution."
The woman immediately understood the meaning of Gui Ming and made a decision immediately.
"It just so happens that my husband is having a meeting here. I will take you directly to see him!"
With that said, he took Dongfang Yaoyao's hand and prepared to go upstairs, and Zhang Ming also followed, while Gui Ming and Bu Tianxuan stayed downstairs.
The black-haired man looked at the backs of the three people disappearing in front of the elevator door, grinning——
"This is a good show..."
In the high-end conference room of the Public Security Bureau building, relevant information about the case is being displayed on the large LCD screen. The middle-aged man sitting in the middle is frowning. His eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses are unadorned, focused and serious. Others
People were also nervous for a while.
The investigation of the case has not made much progress after so long, and this superior is particularly concerned about this case. In addition, the murderer is still continuing to commit crimes, but they have no ability to stop it. This is a slap in the face of the public security agency.
The person who was reporting on the case was a sinister man with a shrill voice and a gray face. It was indeed an extremely embarrassing thing to make a fruitless report in such a depressing atmosphere. It was a pity that this man kept grasping the situation.
Don’t stay focused.
"Although the progress of this serial murder case is very slow, its negative impact is only increasing, and this has a lot to do with the dereliction of duty of the person in charge of the field investigation. Now the entire public opinion direction is extremely unfavorable to us, so...
"
Avoiding important matters and starting to shirk responsibility is this man's usual method, and he has tried this method repeatedly.
The other police officers were too shy to say anything. The man had connections in the hall and was not someone they could mess with.
However, this time he has finally stepped up to the plate.
"How long are you going to talk nonsense?" The middle-aged man raised his glasses, "I'm here to hear the case progress report and investigation plan, not to hear you discuss public relations methods and frame your colleagues! We are all people who eat tax money.
Public servant, if the victims’ families know that there are people like you seeking personal gain at this critical moment, I’m afraid someone from the Public Security Department will hold up a banner to protest tomorrow!”
Obviously, this leader didn't understand the man's intention and purpose in saying this, but stating it so directly and then angrily criticizing it also shows that he is a tough guy and not afraid of the other party's so-called cleverness.
Li Miao was also frightened, his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.
When they arrived at the office door, Zhang Ming was about to knock on the door, but the woman pushed the door open and walked in. The eyes of the public security officials who were still having a heated discussion inside immediately focused on them.
Zhang Ming didn't know how to explain it, but he was surrounded by leaders who were overbearing. No matter what, they were rude. He was about to apologize when a high-pitched voice came over that made him extremely impatient.
"Isn't this Captain Zhang? Why did you come here if you weren't investigating the crime scene?"
Zhang Ming didn't need to think about it to know that the noisy guy who was causing trouble for him was the deputy captain Li Miao. The relationship between the two had never been good, and Li Miao had always been dissatisfied with the fact that Zhang Ming became the captain. If he found a relationship and caused trouble for him, he would not pay it back to him.
Work creates a huge hindrance.
He didn't even have to think about it. Now that Limiao was reporting the situation, there was a 200% chance that he would say bad things about him to his superiors. But he didn't really care. Even though he was acting and sitting upright, he didn't believe that he was already sitting firmly.
Your position will be dragged down by such a villain.
Dongfang Yaoyao's beauty cannot be ignored, and the middle-aged woman holding her arm next to her is still charming. They are very eye-catching, but they are obviously two people who have nothing to do with the public security personnel. In other words, they can make a big fuss.
object.
"We are currently in a meeting to analyze the case! Not just anyone can barge in! Maybe Captain Zhang is so used to being casual at the crime scene that he doesn't understand basic manners?"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened the moment he saw Dongfang Yaoyao, and Li Miao's aggressiveness also made the woman very dissatisfied.
"I haven't seen what tricks you come up with in meetings all day long! Who said that we have nothing to do with the case? The on-the-spot investigation is more difficult, at least it is better than a showman like you!"
Women may not understand this, but to be honest, this is more obvious than the police officers filling the conference room.
It didn't matter that Li Miao was criticized by the leader, but now that a woman who didn't know her origin dared to say that to him, it really made him angry.
Point to the woman and say——
"What do you know? Get out of here immediately! Otherwise, you will disturb the police's handling of the case!"
"Let's see who dares to chase her away!" The middle-aged man stood up and walked up to the woman in front of Li Miao's shocked gaze. His face was full of affection and affection, "Wife, why are you here?"
The atmosphere of the whole place suddenly changed, along with Li Miao's expression.
The woman deliberately turned her head away from her husband and held Dongfang Yaoyao's hand tighter.
"Didn't I bring you food and come here with the key witness? You didn't expect that I interfered with the handling of the case. It's really unreasonable!"
The middle-aged man comforted his wife while greeting Dongfang Yaoyao - his expression was solemn.
"Do you want to intervene in this case?"
Dongfang Yaoyao nodded——
"It has something to do with me. I need to confirm the file information. Didn't I meet your wife? So I came up to have a look." He said and looked at the police officers in the conference room with eyes that were half watching a show.
"I didn't expect to really disturb you..."
The man did not dare to neglect Dongfang Yaoyao at all. He turned around and immediately looked at a police officer——
"Hurry up and open the door to the archives room! Go now!"
The police officer was also frightened by this sudden scene, and he rushed out of the conference room.
It took Li Miao a moment to realize that he had done something stupid. He had already made his boss unhappy, and he had just hit his wife. This doting wife was notoriously loud, so she immediately made the deputy of the criminal police brigade.
The team was so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat.
Dongfang Yaoyao ignored this episode and the weird atmosphere. He turned around and followed the police officer who opened the door downstairs. He could vaguely hear the conversation between the man and his wife from behind, followed by a burst of angry scolding——
In short, I'm afraid that Limiao won't have much good to eat after this time.
Zhang Ming also followed out, and he had a clear understanding of the current situation. Dongfang Yaoyao had a good relationship with their immediate boss—to be precise, he had an unusual relationship with his wife. As for what was going on...he
I don't want to delve into it either.
There are too many doubts about this woman and she is too mysterious. She is not an opponent he can afford to offend.
The two people who were still waiting on the first floor saw that only Zhang Ming and Dongfang Yaoyao came down, and they guessed what was going on, especially Gui Ming, who could no longer hide the joking smile on his face.
After the door of the file room was opened, Dongfang Yaoyao took Gui Ming and Bu Tianxuan in. Zhang Ming led the way. Soon the four of them arrived at the place where the serial murder files were placed. The woman asked them to move all the information.
go out.
As for the place to read, it is naturally Zhang Ming’s office.
Faced with a mountain of files and paper investigation reports, Dongfang Yaoyao picked up one and quickly started reading without any delay.
Bu Tianxuan and Gui Ming also started to look through the files, and Zhang Ming also organized the files together, pointing out to them the order of the files and the details of the victims in them.
After the first round of screening, it was already sunset. Dongfang Yaoyao yawned lazily. Gui Ming covered Dongfang Yaoyao with his coat. The woman lifted her coat and coveted his remaining body heat.
"It's okay. I basically understand the whole story now." He stood up and wrote down a few names and related information on the manuscript paper with the pen on his desk. He pressed it on the table and pushed it to Zhang Ming - "This is what's next.
For the people who are most likely to be targeted by the murderer, you can find out their current addresses and detailed information and give them to me."
Zhang Ming glanced at the identity information on the manuscript paper, but he didn't see any connection between these people.
Dongfang Yaoyao held his chin with one hand——
"Stop looking. You can't see any flowers no matter how hard you stare. Just do it."
Zhang Ming was angered by Dongfang Yaoyao's attitude——
"You asked me to use the public security system to investigate for you. You have to tell me the reason, right?"
"The reason?" She rubbed her chin with a playful look in her eyes, "Do you really want to know?"
Zhang Ming suddenly felt guilty, but still nodded - then Dongfang Yaoyao stretched out a hand and pointed at himself.
"What...what do you mean?"
"I mean, the connection between them is me."
"Huh?" Zhang Ming was even more confused now, and Gui Ming couldn't stand it anymore and started to explain——
"All the victims were once our 'Xianyou Xinsheng' guests, that is, people who have undergone the master's plastic surgery..."
Zhang Ming's eyes widened with disbelief——
"You...you are a plastic surgeon?"
Dongfang Yaoyao nodded——
"Your leader's wife, the woman who went up with me just now, was once one of my guests, but... her situation is a bit special..."
As for what was special, we have to start with her first meeting with that man.
The two people were originally a newlywed couple, but during a fire, the wife sacrificed herself for her husband and stayed in the sea of fire. Although they were rescued afterwards, their whole bodies were severely burned.
In order to help his wife recover, the man secretly carried her out of the hospital when she was critically ill. He went to Dongfang Yaoyao and begged her again and again. Only then did she make an exception and make the man pay the price, and then gave the woman a beauty she had never had before.
For many years after that, the couple happily married, but never gave birth to a son or a daughter.
