chasing the dark

Chapter 147 Express Delivery

This is the confession of the murderer who killed his own family. He mentioned in it: "I just brought less than two hands of ice. Jiang Chengye told me for seven years. Isn't this a bully? The child was aborted and ran away. The old lady was so anxious that she couldn't afford it, and I didn't even see her for the last time. The old lady, woman, and child are all gone, all thanks to Jiang Chengye."

Jiang Yu searched the system for the case files of the year, but with her authority, there were not many things revealed.She couldn't see the detailed transcript, but this passage was consistent with the motive of committing the crime recorded in the file.

However, the content on the next page was beyond her expectation.

"It's the old ghost who told me that Jiang Chengye is at his father-in-law's house. Anyway, I won't live long. Why don't you vote and leave some money for my daughter?"

There is only this sentence on the entire A4 paper, and everything else is blank.

Jiang Yu's hands were shaking, this short sentence contained too much information.

Who is the old ghost?How did he know that his father was at his grandfather's house?Why did the murderer say that he would not live long?Isn't his family gone? Why does he have another daughter?
A series of questions filled Jiang Yu's mind.

Most importantly, who sent this courier?Why tell her this?What does he mean?
Threats?

Or... Xiang wants to help her?
As soon as this idea came into being, Jiang Yu denied it himself.

Only Mu Feng knew that she had been thinking about the cases for quite a long time, and said that he didn't have the ability to get them. Even if he had, he would have given them to her directly, and he would never use this method.

Jiang Yu picked up the document envelope, read it over and over several times, but still couldn't find any information about the sender.

"It's really early for you to come, Xiao Jiang."

Lao Yang, who was on duty together today, interrupted Jiang Yu's thoughts.

Calmly stuffing the two pages back into the envelope, she raised her head: "Good morning, Lao Yang."

The old and the young chatted casually, and then started a mode of watching the computer, drinking tea and reading newspapers.

The content of the case file displayed in the system was no more than what Jiang Yu knew back then.

The murderer was quickly arrested and explained the whole process of the burglary.As for the motive of committing the crime, it was to avenge the prosecutor who sent him to prison.

Jiang Yu read it several times and closed the page annoyed.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I received Xu Luoqiu's message.

Since the two moved out of school, they were both busy, and only chatted occasionally on WeChat.

This time, Xu Luoqiu directly asked her what she was doing and if she could talk.

Jiang Yu put on the earphones, and made a direct call. Xu Luoqiu answered almost instantly: "Little Yu'er, you miss me so much. Are you free today? Can I ask you to turn over the name of Concubine Ai?"

This girl is still as virtuous as before, Jiang Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm on duty, it's okay to chat, I can't go out with you."

"On duty? No case?"

"If there is a case, can I chat with you here?"

"Okay... bah." Xu Luoqiu didn't know what to put into his mouth, his voice was a bit vague, "I'll tell you something, I went to Mingxu's hometown the day before yesterday."

"Oh? Have you met your parents?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

Xu Luoqiu and Shi Mingxu switched from underground to aboveground, and they fell in love for four years back and forth.Now it looks like it's finally coming to fruition.As friends, she was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiaojiang, I'll go around and have dinner by the way. Call me if you need something." Lao Yang didn't want to poke in the office and listen to the little girl talking on the phone, so he said hello and left the door.

Xu Luoqiu heard the voice over there and asked, "Aren't you on duty yourself?"

"Two people every day. It's okay, just tell me, my colleague is out."

"His parents meant to get engaged during the Spring Festival and get married on May [-] next year. I didn't know what to think at the time, so I agreed."

"Do you regret it now?"

"...Uh, that's not true, it just feels a little too fast, and I'm not mentally prepared."

Jiang Yu grinned: "Tch! By next year, you two have been talking for five years, right? Classmate Xu, you have already wiped out people, and now you tell me that you are not mentally prepared? Are you showing off to me? Are you still showing off to me?"

There was a burst of laughter on the phone: "Haha, you have discovered this, so be careful to silence it."

After a while, Xu Luoqiu's magical laughter stopped, and she asked: "My sister is about to get married, how are you doing?"

"I've been following two cases in a row here, and I'm so busy. It's not like you, you know the wind and snow every day."

"You can't say that. There are so many young talents in the city bureau. The criminal police team is full of tough men. There must be one that suits you, right?"

"Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests."

"Fart, that's called getting the moon first, okay?"

Even across the phone, Jiang Yu could imagine that Xu Luoqiu's eyes had turned to the sky.

She didn't want to discuss this, so she changed the topic: "Is your husband not at home?"

"Oh, what husband." Xu Luoqiu felt embarrassed, "He moved with a colleague, so he went over to help."

Immediately afterwards, she asked again: "Hey, Jiang Xiaoyu, have you made any progress with that uncle?"

"...Uh, didn't you say that old men are unreliable." Jiang Yu returned what she had said before.

"Hey, you're together all day long. You won't take your time to taste what kind of person you are? Let me tell you, if you think it's suitable, don't hesitate. As long as you are reliable, it doesn't matter how old you are..."

Xu Luoqiu rambled on for a while longer, Jiang Yu said a few perfunctory words, and ended the call.

His eyes fell on the seal of the courier document next to the computer, and his heart was in a mess.

If it was a few days ago, maybe I could talk about this matter with Ye Zhanzhou and ask him to help analyze it.

But she was the one who cut off the video that day, and now she went to contact the family, she really didn't know how to speak.

Ye Zhanzhou, who was thousands of miles away, was also full of thoughts, so that he didn't hear what his grandfather said, which made his father shout again: "Can you concentrate?"

"Dad, I'm listening." He sat up straight in a well-behaved manner, and looked intently at the old man opposite him.

"What are you yelling at?" Mr. Ye reprimanded angrily, "It's rare for the child to come back once, and you can't talk properly if you look at you!"

Ye Bin counseled in seconds: "It's not that you don't know that I have a loud voice."

It is the tradition of the Ye family that sons are afraid of Lao Tzu, regardless of age.

When Bai Jingqiu came out of the kitchen, she saw the grandpa and grandson staring at each other. She smiled helplessly: "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after dinner."

"Go, go eat, ignore him." Mr. Ye rolled his eyes and dragged his grandson to the restaurant.

Seeing Ye Bin's dark face, Bai Jingqiu persuaded: "You are serious, why do you have to talk about Zhanzhou in front of Dad?"

"Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps." Ye Bin complained to his daughter-in-law in a low voice, "You said that I am so old, and I still have to suffer."

"Then what do you want? Uprising?" Bai Jingqiu raised her eyebrows and asked.
