Chapter 6 Release the Grief
Wang Chen's sudden death hit Zhuge Yang hard.

He locked himself in Wang Chen's office without eating, drinking or talking. No one could persuade him to do anything.

Colleagues naturally understand Zhuge Yang's mood, but they are more worried that Zhuge Yang will become the next Wang Chen.

To break the deadlock, a vanguard must be sent out.

Xiao Liang was entrusted with an important task, pushed into the office, and dragged Zhuge Yang, who was not eating or drinking, to the conference room.

In the large conference room, there are two white plastic lunch boxes on the table in the first position on the right side, and the chairs are empty.

"Hurry up and eat something. No matter how anxious you are to investigate the case, you have to replenish your strength. You don't want to die from overwork like Captain Chen." At this point, Xiao Liang realized that he shouldn't speak like this and stopped immediately. voice.

Xiao Jiang and the others looked no better than Xiao Liang who said something wrong.They couldn't move as if Qiqi had been acupunctured, and they only aimed their eyes at Zhuge Yang with a haggard face.

Zhuge Yang didn't seem to hear Xiao Liang's words, nor did he feel the stiffness of the others.He walked over, pulled out the chair, sat down, and reached for the lunch box.When opening the lid of the box, his eyes fell on where the master usually sat.

There, it was empty.

There are no more figures lowering their heads to eat, and no more voices holding the table with their hands while throwing tantrums and cursing.

Looking back, he saw a box of oily braised pork open in his hand.

In the past, everyone always had meals together, and the lunch boxes we bought were made in AA sizes.Xiao Liang deliberately placed vegetarian dishes in front of him, and the chef would silently change the positions of the meat dishes and put them in front of him.

He hasn't had a hypoglycemic reaction in a long time.

Zhuge Yang squeezed two disposable chopsticks tightly, and the poor quality chopsticks made a slight clicking sound.

He stared at the box of braised pork, tears filling his eyes and then overflowing.

Bah, bah, a small pool of water gathered on the dark red conference table, reflecting the dark-red face with his hands on his forehead to suppress crying.

The rustling voice faded away from the door, only sobbing and choking remained.

There were several figures standing on tiptoes on the glass outside the conference room.

Xiao Jiang is so short that he cannot be seen even if he stands on tiptoes.She could only poke Xiao Liang's arm with her finger and ask him: "Hey, did you see that, how is Zhuge? Are you still crying?"

Xiao Liang brushed his slightly painful arm from being poked and looked down at her. "Can you please be a little harder? It hurts."

"No matter how painful it is, how can Zhuge hurt? He's going to die of grief, what should we do?" Xiao Jiang's eyes turned red.

Yin Zihe tilted his head and said, "It's okay, Miss Jiang, Brother Yang is already eating." Yin Zihe has a delicate appearance, and when he speaks, a small white tiger tooth will appear on the left corner of his mouth.

Xiao Jiang looked at Yin Zihe and nodded, his eyes red and his mouth depressed, he returned to his work station and sat down with the half-eaten box lunch in his hand.I picked a chopstick of rice and put it in my mouth, but suddenly I didn't want to eat it.

She turned around and asked the others: "Tonight, should we go to Captain Chen's house and call Zhuge?"

Xiao Liang retracted his gaze towards the glass door, watching the people inside eating rice with tears in his eyes. He turned around and said, "It's time to go and have a look. Given Zhuge's condition, I don't know if he will go."

Everyone's eyes fell on the frosted glass of the conference room again. Looking at the black shadow, they felt blocked.

In the past, when Captain Chen's wife came to the police station to get the house keys, they all called her sister-in-law, and only Zhuge called her "sister-in-law."Therefore, they often teased Zhuge and asked him to call them uncle.

Team Chen watched them making trouble, with a smile on his face, holding a cigarette in his hand and poking it in the palm of his hand.

When Zhuge shouted at the top of his lungs: Master, look at them, they always take advantage of me.Team Chen would put away his smile and say lightly: If you are so energetic, let’s go to the yard and fight one on one.At this time, everyone agreed that they still had a lot of work to do and had no time to discuss.

Xiaojiang's hand strength is so strong that it is completely proportional to her combat effectiveness in close combat.

Scenes seemed to be unfolding before his eyes, but Captain Chen's slightly curved mouth completely disappeared in the familiar police station.

Xu Shi rekindled his fighting spirit after crying bitterly.Throughout the afternoon, Zhuge Yang and Xiao Liang visited dozens of nearby supermarkets and stores to check for clues about children's shoes, raincoats, and fruit knives.

Zhuge Yang sat in the co-pilot's seat and was dazed.

On both sides of the street outside the car window, there are more short video bloggers holding selfie sticks to live broadcast.

Now there is no need to specifically mention any topics, just directly state that the location of the live broadcast is Beidaihe, and the popularity will soar.

Zhuge Yang squeezed his legs that had been sore all afternoon as if filled with lead. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Liang releasing the handbrake, and the car started slowly.

Xiao Liang usually didn't drive so steadily. He wished he could just kick the accelerator and shoot the car out as soon as the light changed to green.Zhuge Yang still squeezed his leg casually, not looking at him. "I'm going to my master's house tonight, do you want to come with me?"

"Isn't this a connection between our hearts? This is what we planned, but we were still afraid that you wouldn't go. I've been thinking about how to persuade you along the way. I have nothing to say, and it's all in vain. Oops , I talked too much again. Stop talking, stop talking." Xiao Liang patted the steering wheel, and the words he spoke were like beads that would never break.

Zhuge Yang took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen to check the time. It was already 18:37 pm.

"Go back to the bureau and pick them up."

Xiao Liang responded, exerting force on his feet, and the speed of the vehicle soared.

In the courtyard of the police station, Xiao Jiang and others gathered next to another police car, talking and waiting.When they saw Zhuge Yang returning, they both glanced at Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang didn't say much, shook his head, and asked Xiao Jiang and Yin Zihe to get in the car.

Xiao Li and Brother Zhou got into another police car.

In front of the third unit of Building [-] of Lijing Community, Xiao Liang just pulled up the handbrake with a squeak, and Zhuge Yang immediately opened the car door and got out.

"You guys go up first, I'll go to the supermarket at the door to buy something." After saying this, he strode towards the entrance of the community without looking at the others.

The man in security uniform at the door shouted eagerly: "Hey! Be careful with the pole!"

Zhuge Yang then raised his head and quickly ducked out of the way.The traffic barrier with yellow reflective strips fell from his ear with a soft click.

Xiao Jiang bit his lower lip and was about to chase after him, but was grabbed by Xiao Liang.

"Let him take his time, let's go up first."

They have been to this community three times and were invited to have dinner.

The first time was dumplings stuffed with pork and scallions, the second time was hot-boiled lamb, and the third time was fennel pie.It is said that the scallions, mutton and fennel were all mailed from Inner Mongolia by Chen Dui’s mother-in-law.

Zhuge Yang came to a familiar community and was emotionally moved by the scene. For a moment, he might not have the courage to step into the house where Captain Chen was no longer there.

Xiao Liang and others knocked on the door of 301. The person who opened the door was Team Chen’s wife Yuan Fen.She was wearing a black housecoat, and her hair was messy and tied back with a rubber band.

"Sister-in-law." Everyone greeted.

Yuan Fen turned sideways to let the person in, and hurriedly packed up the wads of tissues on the coffee table in the living room.

Xiao Liang and others watched her stuff the paper towels into the trash can, take out the trash bag, tie it and put it at the door.He turned around and went to the open kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. While the water was boiling, he wiped the coffee table with a rag and put a new garbage bag on the trash can.

Several people were on pins and needles, not knowing what to say.

The kitchen kettle clicked and tripped, and at the same time there was a knock on the door.

Yuan Fen was going to open the door with a glass cup in her hand, but Xiao Jiang stood up quickly. "Sister-in-law, let me open the door, it should be Zhuge."

Zhuge Yang came in carrying a box of milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people, and casually placed the gift box next to the black garbage bag.

Yuan Fen poured a glass of boiled water for each of them, then walked to the bedroom and took out a folded coat.

She handed the coat to Zhuge Yang. "I took this off when I was changing clothes for Lao Chen. I have your wallet and ID in my pocket. They've been washed. Can you see?"

Zhuge Yang stood up and took it with both hands.

On top of the clothes were his black wallet and a blue tassel.

What came to mind was the image of the master wearing this dress, lying lifeless on the asphalt.His fingers holding the clothes slowly tightened, his shoulders trembled, and he gritted his back teeth and still couldn't stop the blur in front of his eyes.

"This tassel may have fallen out of your pocket and was held in Lao Chen's hand." Yuan Fen's voice was almost breathy, as if she hadn't recovered from a severe cold.

Zhuge Yang turned his head to look at Yuan Fen and asked blankly: "What?"

The blue threads are very conspicuous on the black clothes.

This was his first time seeing this thing.
