chasing the dark

Chapter 122 Create Opportunities

Chen Chaoran talked for a long time, realized that the topic was a bit heavy, wiped his face, and put the meat on the stove: "That's all I know about Li Chenxing, but there is no doubt that people committed suicide."

He was clear about the discipline of secrecy. Ye Zhanzhou and the others didn't say why they wanted to investigate Li Chenxing, so he didn't ask, and only said that he knew it.

"Give me Li Chenxing's brother's contact information later." Ye Zhanzhou removed the plate of fruit salad in front of Jiang Yu and replaced it with cheese corn.Then put the grilled squid into the dinner plate and put it together.

The little girl has a shallow stomach, eats too much fruit, and doesn't eat well.

Jing Hong's eyebrows raised slightly, and Chen Chaoran quickly brought her food: "Come, you eat too."

Yan Bi put down his chopsticks, took his bag from the chair next to him, and took out a stack of papers: "Deputy Captain Ye, there are addresses and phone numbers on it. I couldn't make a copy of the case file, so I made a copy of the key points. "

"Yo, you are so careful, thank you!" Ye Zhanzhou flipped the pages roughly, and handed them to Jiang Yu to put them away.

Accessing case files requires procedures, and it takes time, not to mention the trouble.

Through previous contact, I found that Chen Chaoran had a quick mind and was quite reliable in his work, which was why Ye Zhanzhou approached him directly.

After finishing the business, the next thing is to eat and drink.

Although Lao Pu's is a barbecue restaurant, the main focus of this season is seafood, especially the most popular scallop king.

The scallops, which are about the size of your face, are poured with minced garlic and a secret sauce, topped with rice, sprinkled with chopped seaweed, and roasted on the fire, the aroma is immediately overflowing.

Jiang Yu thought he was full, but couldn't help Ye Zhanzhou's persuasion, so he took a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

The fresh fragrance diffused between her lips and teeth, making her squint her eyes involuntarily.

"Is it delicious?" Ye Zhanzhou put the scallop meat in a small bowl for her again, "Now is the time when the scallops are at their fattest."

Jiang Yu repeatedly nodded and said it was delicious, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Chaoran and Jing Hong biting their ears.

The four people originally occupied most of the round table. For the convenience of talking, Ye Zhanzhou and Chen Chaoran were next to each other, and she and Jing Hong were on both sides.

I don't know when Chen Chaoran moved the chair, he is almost next to Jing Hong now, his arm is still on the back of her chair.

What made Jiang Yu even more unreal was that, with Jing Hong's pungent temper, she didn't kick people away, but instead laughed at Yan Yan and nodded frequently.

Xu felt her gaze, Jing Hong elbowed Chen Chaoran, put a little distance away from him, and picked up the glass: "Come on, let's finish the drink and go to the movies."

Both men nodded in agreement.

Sipping the juice, Jiang Yu hesitated and said, "I won't go, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Without the roof blocking it, Jing Hong's eyes could roll to the sky: "Who doesn't go to work? It's only nine o'clock, can you go home and sleep?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's embarrassed expression, Ye Zhanzhou came out to smooth things over: "Forget it, let's go another day, there aren't any good movies right now."

Jing Hong shrugged and gave him a helpless look.

After drinking and eating, the four of them left the private room.Old Pu greeted him: "There are too many people today, so I can't take good care of them."

Ye Zhanzhou pressed his shoulder and waved away: "Don't say those polite words, hurry up and go, don't send it off."

"Well, come here earlier another day, and I'll have a few drinks with you." Lao Pu didn't insist anymore, and turned back after sending the person to the door.

Chen Chaoran had a good drinker, drank four or five bottles of beer, and still walked steadily.

Jing Hong was a bit worse, her figure swayed slightly, looking left and right to see if the substitute driver had arrived.

He went over to support her, and said to the two people walking behind: "You guys go first, I'll take her back."

The other two met each other's eyes, waved goodbye knowingly, and flashed away quickly.

"Where do you live?" After starting the car, Jiang Yu realized that he had known him for so long and still didn't know his address.

"Minghe Mansion."

"Minghe Mansion on the other side of the pedestrian street?"

"Yes, on the east side of the pedestrian street."

"That's quite far from our school."

When I lived in school before, I was often picked up by him, and I thought it was nearby.

Ye Zhanzhou leaned on the back of the seat and turned his head slightly: "Isn't it just a way to go through the bureau?"

One direction is correct, but Minghe Mansion is only two or three kilometers away from the City Bureau, and at least ten kilometers away from the Police University.

Well, what the leaders say is what they say.Jiang Yu got the car out of the parking space and drove onto the street.

"Deputy Captain Ye, are Brother Chen and Sister Hong on good terms?"

"You just found out? The reaction is too slow."

"Did you already know?"

"Well...it's not too early."

That time, Jing Hong didn't answer the phone at the scene. When she came back, there was a man's voice in the background. If I heard correctly, it was Chen Chaoran.

It's just that this is a private matter of others, there is no need to bring it up.

"Since they're already together, why are you taking the opportunity to get together? It's as if they haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Your reaction is really slow."

"Eh? Is there anything else I haven't noticed?" Jiang Yu turned his head while waiting for the signal light, eyes glistening with gossip.

Can't you see that Chen Chaoran and Jing Hong are creating opportunities for them?
I have been busy all the time, even if I am alone, it is difficult to have an atmosphere suitable for communicating feelings.

Although today is also because of the case, but don't delay eating and chatting after finishing the business.You can even watch movies, go for a walk or something.

He can guarantee that Chen Chaoran and Jing Hong will not go back to their respective homes.

But meeting the unresponsive little girl, Ye Zhanzhou couldn't say this, so Ye Zhanzhou could only change the subject abruptly: "You put me at the east gate of the community for a while, and come pick me up at 07:30 tomorrow morning."

Seeing him leaning on the seat with his eyes closed slightly, Jiang Yu thought he was tired, so he hummed and said nothing.

……

At 08:30 in the morning, the whole team gathered in the meeting room to hold a case analysis meeting. Qiao Mingshan, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, attended the meeting.

This was the first time Jiang Yu saw Qiao Mingshan in person. Before that, he had only seen his photo on the wall of the lobby on the first floor and in the introduction of the leadership team.

She seriously doubted whether the old Qiao Duan Baili was talking about was the same person as the fat man.

According to Professor Duan's description, Lao Qiao's skills are as quick as his thinking.He once jumped into the air, caught the grenade thrown by the suspect with his bare hands, and threw it into the river before it exploded.

With such a figure barely squeezed into the armchair, people can't even imagine his figure when he leaps into the air.

As soon as the thermos was placed on the conference table, Qiao Mingshan said, "I'm here to listen in today, you guys start."

Ye Zhanzhou didn't say a word of nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "In this case of serial murder and body dismemberment, three dead people have been found. Fang Kun, the business representative of the Mingyang office of the food company. He disappeared in mid-July, and the exact date is unknown. Ding Yang, Unemployed, stepmother reported missing on July [-]th. The identity of the third deceased has not yet been identified.”
