Chapter 137 Thief-Snowing

The fourth thief
snow

The successive cases involving the accidental fall at the University of Finance and Economics were initially concluded. Gu Xing, who had been intermittently elusive for less than half a month, finally appeared in the criminal investigation detachment on time, yawning nonstop and covered with the smell of cold smoke. A small face.

He was not in a hurry to return to the office. He leaned against the leaky door panel of the detachment and just took out a cigarette with his legs raised. Geng Zhi heard the "click" sound of a lighter and quickly rolled up the brown paper bag and knocked it on the back of his head angrily. Turning around, before he could protest, he was faced with a stack of report documents that wanted to be thrown at his face.

Captain Gu felt embarrassed as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He transformed and tried to escape, but to no avail. Deputy Geng grabbed him by the back of the neck and tilted him mercilessly. He happened to pass by Lin Yu, who was trying to support Captain Gu in his attempt to escape. With one glance, he unswervingly dragged this stubborn person who wanted to take advantage of the investigation and cheating on the case during the holidays back to his office.

Before closing the door, I didn't forget to tell Jiang Mo, who was munching on corn and watching the excitement, that he had almost accumulated a pile of work-related injuries and leave, big and small, so he rushed to catch up before the Spring Festival schedule was printed and stamped, so he could go home and recuperate. The injury looked like he was about to break his small body in the face of the wind.

The order of compulsory leave fell on his head, and Jiang Mo, who could escape from jail every day even though he was in a hospital and went to work even though he was injured, had to reluctantly pack up his desk and run away for the time being.Xiao Letian took advantage of the news and took advantage of her lunch break to join a group of back-office sisters who came after hearing the news and cruelly divided up her limited shelf life of snacks in front of Jiang Mo, who was very slow in handing over.

"Why is there a bottle of canned yellow peaches here?" Xiao Letian felt a little self-conscious about his "fruitful battle". He supported his senior sister's desk and helped her pull away the layers of waste paper and debris, and dug out the corners. An unopened glass bottle came out: "The shelf life is still quite new...Senior sister, you bought it yourself? Why didn't you eat it?"

"If you want to eat, you can score." Jiang Mo didn't look up. When he heard Xiao Letian suddenly swallowing saliva, he sneered. He took the pile of uncoded documents in his hand and roughly turned them over. After a few flips: "It seems that Wen Chen sent it here one day...the injury is not easy to heal, and the arm is not strong enough--"

Before Jiang Mo finished speaking, the cans and bottles in Xiao Letian's hand had already popped open with a pop.He walked around in circles a few times, thinking about finding a cup and rice spoon to pick out a few pieces. He turned around and saw Zhang Yibai, who was "holding" Zhang Yibai, who was quickly walking up the stairs and passing by the criminal investigation door, and then "escaped" Gu Xing upstairs. He hit a piece of yellow peach and handed it to Jiang Mo first: "Master, why are you so busy recently?"

"Is it the matter about Cheng Ye's father's home invasion and robbery?" Jiang Mo frowned thoughtfully, licked the sugar water dripping on the back of his hand, and looked at Team Leader Lin lightly for unknown reasons. He cast a deep glance from far away at the beginning, raised his eyebrows curiously, then withdrew his gaze without finding anything, and casually avoided the key point of the problem: "... I heard the second group a few days ago that they seemed to be looking for something. , but never found it.”

"Oh..." Xiao Letian nodded confusedly and blinked without further investigation: "Senior sister, the temperature dropped last night and the road was frozen. Please be careful when you drive back."

————On the day when Gu Xing came back from searching Lin Yu’s house like a house raid, he actually took a box of eight-treasure porridge at night and went to the hospital to take a look at Jiang Mo.

"Forget it if you can't remember. You were too busy at the time." Gu Xing crushed the cigarette butt and looked at Jiang Mo who was brought to the roof of the building to face the wind and choked on the second-hand smoke. He coughed and frowned. He raised his hand to help. She put the hat on her head and said, "I told Lao Geng that once the case of Gao's fall is over, you will have a few days off. It's mandatory. It will save you the time of being hospitalized and you can go and have nothing to do." Join the team. Your mother and your stepfather are going on a business trip in a few days, right? It just so happens that I can spend the Chinese New Year peacefully with your brothers."

"Even if this photo is not a fake, it should be difficult for me to see Cheng Ye's position at that time... By the time he went to pick up the earring, I should have dragged the child who didn't know whether he could survive to the hospital." Jiang Mo didn't answer her master's words. She held up the copied photo on Gu Xing's phone and stared at it for a long time. She gave him a silent and sour look, "...Cheng Ye's home was robbed by a group of loan sharks. Among the things recovered, you didn’t find that earring, right?”

"No. To be precise, I didn't even see the tin box that Cheng Ye described in which he hid his things." Gu Xing rubbed the tips of his ears that were sore and itchy from frostbite every year, and shook his head helplessly: "I However, on Cheng Ye's cell phone... and among the photos he had developed and stuck in books, he discovered that there was indeed such a dark blue biscuit box - he had followed the little girl and pulled off the bit of fabric. Or something as a souvenir, they were all placed on that box and photos were taken. After Cheng Li woke up after being seriously injured, he also confirmed that the bits and pieces that Cheng Ye usually played with were all in that blue box. Since the loan shark gang had not seen However, those [-]% are what Cheng Li said before. When he was running around and hiding, there might be thieves at home who were worried about him."

Jiang Mo shaved his frozen eyebrows: "Did you lose something before the loan shark came to your door?"

"Cheng Li said that when he came home, he actually noticed that someone had tampered with the door lock at home, but he didn't throw anything away, so he didn't realize that his son's bedroom might have been burglarized. The details will depend on Cheng Li's follow-up I need to identify him to see if it was just a simple theft of valuables or something else. Now that the old boy knows that he has fallen into the hands of the police, he is cheating and won’t be able to kick him out for a long time. "

Gu Xing breathed a heavy sigh, turned around and knocked twice hard on Jiang Mo's hooded head: "It's not a big deal, I'm just looking for that earring to know if Cheng Yesa is lying. There's something on it There are no clues that can be extracted, and is there any value in continuing to pursue it? After all, the previous case has been abandoned for such a long time... If this box that really contains some evidence falls into the hands of a simple burglary, Maybe we’ll see him again from other realms in the future.”

Jiang Mo didn't say anything, and nodded obediently. He turned around and stared at Gu Xing's back, waving goodbye and walking away. Suddenly he gathered some strength, called him, and asked hesitantly: "Master, Cheng Ye …Did I tell you anything else?”

The rhythm of Gu Xing's feet was messed up for two seconds. He tugged at the side pockets of his clothes without putting his hands into the pockets. He held his neck stubbornly for a while and then slowly turned around.

"Jiang Mo, it was not entirely your fault that you concealed the witness's story. We all know very well that the murderer has carried out tragic revenge on the witness who provided clues more than once. It was already important to save as many lives as possible at that time. The optimal solution under the circumstances, even if... this witness later disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people, and it is difficult to say whether he is alive or dead."
