Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 19 Some Discoveries

Chu Chan and the detectives of the crime team returned empty-handed again.

As soon as she entered the police station gate, she followed the others listlessly to her office.

"Chu Chan!" The policewoman on duty in the hall called to stop her.

"Is there something wrong with calling me?" Chu Chan replied feebly.

"Someone came to look for you just now. It seems that there is something wrong. But I didn't ask why he was looking for you." The policewoman added, "It's a man who came, and he looks quite fierce."

Chu Chan turned her head which was already a mess, and really couldn't recall anyone she knew who looked fierce.

"It's okay. If he comes again next time, just call me."

The policewoman nodded and said yes.

Chu Chan turned around to leave, and heard someone calling her again.

"Xiao Chan, wait for me!"

She looked back anxiously, and couldn't help being stunned.

The person who called her was Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao got off the rickshaw, paid the master, and went into the police station with her things.

Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, the person she was looking for happened to be in the lobby.

Zhang Jiao walked quickly to Chu Chan's side, and stuffed all the bags in her hand to her.

"I'm exhausted, take it yourself. My aunt asked me to bring you this." She pointed to the bag in Chu Chan's left hand, and then to the kraft paper bag in her right hand.

"This is the bread from my shop, take it and share it with your colleagues."

Chu Chan weighed the paper bag and said in surprise, "Your shop is not doing well today? Why did you send me so many?"

Zhang Jiao was annoyed, "Am I always picky like that?"

Chu Chan nodded matter-of-factly, causing Zhang Jiao to glare at her angrily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Thank you for your hard work. I'm almost starving, so I just use these bread mats to fill my stomach."

She gave the lighter bag to Zhang Jiao, "Please help me take it. I'm so tired. I haven't slept much in the past few days. Look at the dark circles under my eyes."

Chu Chan put her face in front of Zhang Jiao's eyes, and beckoned her to take a closer look.

"It's so miserable!" Zhang Jiao just saw her decadent look at the first sight, knowing that she was staying up all night again, once again feeling that the police is a hard and respectful job.

"Let's go. Do you have some time to rest after eating?"

Chu Chan shook her head and sighed, "Probably not, there will probably be a meeting later."

She took Zhang Jiao to the lounge next to the office and put the kraft paper bag on the table.

"You sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water, and invite everyone to eat together."

Zhang Jiao waved her hand and didn't need her to greet her.

When Chu Chan went out, Zhang Jiao tore open the kraft paper bag to reveal the bread inside, and took them out one by one to arrange them.

"Miss Zhang?"

Meng Pu just met Chu Chan in the corridor, and she invited her to the lounge to eat.

But when he entered the door, he saw an unexpected person.

"Mr. Meng, do you also work at the police station?" Zhang Jiao heard an unfamiliar voice, raised her head suddenly, and saw a relatively familiar face.

She squinted at the nameplate he hung in front of her.

It turns out that Meng Pu is Chu Chan’s new boss!
Meng Pu nodded, "I work in the Serious Crime Squad."

"Oh, what a coincidence. Sit down quickly. I brought a lot of bread. I heard from Chu Chan that none of you had lunch. Come and try it."

Zhang Jiao warmly invited him to sit down, and directly took a piece of bread and put it in his hand.

"I don't know if you like cream or not. This one has cream filling inside. Try it. If you don't like it, just change it to something else."

Meng Pu's expressionless face was a little bit dumbfounded by her behavior.

He now has some doubts whether he is in the territory of the serious crime team or in Zhang Jiao's house.

She is also very skilled at turning the tables.

Seeing Meng Pu staring at the bread in his hand, Zhang Jiao thought he didn't like it. "Then I'll change it for you?"

Meng Pu immediately lowered his head and took a bite, telling Zhang Jiao that he could eat it. "No, it tastes good."

Zhang Jiao smiled, "That's good."

The voices of detectives sounded outside the door.

After a while, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

"Hello, Sir Meng!" Brother Tian, ​​who came in first, raised his hand to greet Meng Pu, and saw Zhang Jiao on the other side.

"Ah! Miss Zhang, you haven't been here for a long time. Why did the eldest lady ask us to come to eat? It turns out it was you who sent it."

He glanced at the food on the table and understood it instantly.

The agents who came in behind him greeted Zhang Jiao and thanked her for the bread.

Zhang Jiao instantly fell into the lively atmosphere, and the sadness and desolation in her heart pressed back to the bottom of her heart.

She smiled and said: "You're welcome!"

A flash of curiosity flashed in Meng Pu's eyes, they seemed too familiar with each other.

He looked doubtfully at Chu Chan, who came in last, and asked her why with his eyes.

Chu Chan smiled, sat next to Meng Pu habitually, and explained softly to him: "Zhang Jiao is my cousin, who opened a store on Pearl Street. In the past, she would often send me food and drink, and would also give everyone Discounts. Once you come and go, you will be familiar with it."

Meng Pu nodded knowingly, and took a piece of bread for Chu Chan that was the same as what he was holding.He just tried it and it was delicious.

Chu Chan took it calmly, without any shyness.

Although Zhang Jiao was chatting with Brother Tian, ​​she had been paying attention to Chu Chan's movements from the corner of her eye. Seeing her and Meng Pu biting their ears and sitting together, alarm bells rang in their hearts.

Whoa!There is a situation!
How long has it been since Meng Pu joined the police station? Why did the relationship between the two of them start to take shape?
Zhang Jiao can guarantee that she is not mistaken.

Although she has never been in love in her life, she has never eaten pork or seen a pig run away.She clearly smelled the sour smell of love on them!

Zhang Jiao couldn't hold back, and when Brother Tian turned his head to talk to Akai, he quietly winked at Chu Chan and looked at her with a teasing smile on his face.

When Chu Chan received her inexplicable look, she couldn't help curling her lips and rolling her eyes.

What's wrong!
The agents were often in a hurry, so they developed a special skill of eating quickly. Zhang Jiao was afraid of delaying them, so she planned to leave when they saw that they were almost done eating.

She estimated the time, Brother Peng should have come back.

"I'll take you out." Chu Chan stuffed the last bite of bread into her mouth, and stepped forward to hook Zhang Jiao's hand.

"No, eat slowly." Zhang Jiao disapproved as she swallowed a piece of bread.

Eating this way is most likely to hurt your stomach.

"It's okay, let's go." Chu Chan dug into her pocket, trying to take out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.But it was empty, and she lost the handkerchief at some point.

Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly and was about to take her handkerchief from her handbag for her to use.

Seeing a neatly folded men's handkerchief being delivered to Chu Chan, she turned her head in a daze, it was Meng Pu.

God, what kind of scene is this?
Chu Chan was different from her reaction, and took the handkerchief gratefully, "Thank you, I will return it to you after I wash it later."

Zhang Jiao opened her mouth in surprise, looked at her in shock, and then turned to look at Meng Pu, who had a calm face.

Is this the time to say thank you?
This is when you are about to leave the singles!

Chu Chan wiped her mouth with Meng Pu's handkerchief, not paying attention to the change of expression on Zhang Jiao's face, and stuffed it into her pocket naturally.

Meng Pu noticed it and coughed slightly in embarrassment, "I'm going back to the office first."

"Okay." Chu Chan nodded, and said to Zhang Jiao, "Let's go too."

Zhang Jiao followed her strength and walked forward, giving her a complicated look. It turned out that she was a fool who had not yet realized what she was doing!

Everyone is drunk alone and I am sober alone. It is really lonely to eat melons alone.

Forget it, the matter of the heroine, can she, a cannon fodder passer-by, worry about it?
It's enough to eat melons obediently!
Zhang Jiao stopped thinking and concentrated on waiting for the fool to figure it out.

When passing by the crime squad office, she glanced inside inadvertently.

"Huh?" She stopped and turned around again.

"What's the matter?" Chu Chan saw that she would not leave, and found that she was staring at the information board on the opposite office wall through the window, thinking hard about something.

"The person in this painting looks familiar. I seem to have seen her somewhere." Zhang Jiao frowned, she was sure.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, this big mole!
This sketch was only an eight-quarter portrait of a real person, but Zhang Jiao still thought about it.This person was the vicious aunt who bullied Aunt Feng when she first met her.

Chu Chan didn't take it seriously, "It's not surprising that you've seen it before. This person is a well-known bully on Gudun Road. He used the name of a gang to collect protection money and blackmail the vendors along the road."

Zhang Jiao had been a frequent visitor to the police station before, so it was normal to meet him occasionally on the road.

"What's wrong with this person?" Zhang Jiao didn't say anything about the relationship between them, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, asking Chu Chan without any trace.

"I was killed. Since four days ago, middle-aged women have been brutally murdered one after another. Among them, Huang Dalan, the one you are familiar with, was stabbed 38 times in total. She was the first to be killed and the one with the most wounds. one."

Without doubt, Chu Chan shared some unimportant information with Zhang Jiao.

"Have you found the murderer?"

"No. There are too many people who have been bullied by the deceased, and many of them have hatred against her. We are slowly investigating."

Chu Chan was extremely depressed. After interrogating Lin Dashan, they all went out to investigate. There were still more than half of the bullied people who had not been interrogated, so they had not found any clues yet.

Zhang Jiao nodded sympathetically. In reality, investigations are not as good as in novels. There is not so much luck, and clues will fall on your head at any time.

When we walked to the door of the police station, Brother Peng was waiting diagonally across the road.

Zhang Jiao waved to Chu Chan, "I'm going back first. No matter how important the investigation is, you should pay more attention to rest, so as not to overwhelm your body."

Her aunt began to complain that she was always wearing out her clothes. If her head turned bald, her aunt would probably be able to live in her and give her hair-growing medicinal soup every day.

Chu Chan smiled warmly, "I know, it's long-winded!"

Zhang Jiao turned around and left without fussing with her.

Brother Peng kept staring at the police station door. When Zhang Jiao walked across the street, he had already opened the car door for her.

The car started slowly, and Zhang Jiao looked silently at the receding buildings and trees outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

"How's Mama Liu feeling?" Brother Peng thought that Zhang Jiao would remain silent for so long, but he didn't expect her to ask suddenly.

He thought for a while and replied, "Mother Liu has been crying. I feel that she is not in a good condition."

Zhang Jiao nodded. This was the saddest time she had ever seen Mother Liu.

I hope she can see it sooner.

As soon as Zhang Jiao got home, she fell asleep.He slept until nightfall, when Zhiyuan called him up to eat.

She stayed at home peacefully for two days, without going anywhere, and kept quietly thinking about the little doubts she discovered.

"Miss, I made an excuse to ask Mother Liu. Today is the seventh day since Zhang Mingfeng passed away."

Qi's mother stood respectfully beside Zhang Jiao's reclining chair and replied to her. She didn't know Aunt Feng well, so she called Aunt Feng by her name directly.

Zhang Jiao clipped the bookmark to the page she was reading, and then gently closed it. "Then isn't today Aunt Feng's first day?"

The first seventh day is a very important day in funeral customs. It is rumored that on the first seventh day, the soul of the deceased will return home.

The relatives and friends of the deceased need to prepare joss sticks and paper money, burn them to the deceased in front of the tablet, and cry for the deceased to lead him home.

"Call Mama Liu and ask her to pay Aunt Feng to buy some incense sticks from her account. Don't you have to burn the sky ladder? Let's pay for it. After all, Aunt Feng is my employee and I can't do anything to her Funerals don't matter."

The ladder to heaven is made of paper and burned to the deceased on the first seven days so that he can climb up the ladder to heaven and live a good life.

It can be regarded as a beautiful longing for the living to live after the death of the deceased.

"I understand. I'll call Mother Liu later."

After Qi's mother left, Zhang Jiao gently tapped the palm of her hand with the spine of the book and said with a sigh, "The seventh day!"

She got up and walked to the desk, and called Chu Chan, trying to confirm something with her, but no one answered.
