Chapter 147 Thief-New Year

The fourth thief
Chinese New Year
Shao Jie unconsciously hunched his shoulders and huddled in the steaming steam of the hot pot. His long and short sighs were not loud. He was able to control the volume and lightly passed through the noisy area where the induction cooker cooling fan was running, vaguely. The words fell into the ears of Officer Jiang, who had been ignoring him intermittently, and he kept mumbling.

"Who told you to do it secretly? Just shout, I didn't even fall asleep -"

Jiang Mo was annoyed by his small murmurs and was both speechless and amused. He picked a chopstick and rolled away the cooked meat and placed it next to the plate where he was blowing cold air. He made a mistake and guiltily tried to block his picture, which was even worse than Zhou Nanyi's. Be childish: "...and after all, how much force did I use? I just started grabbing a little harder...The sofa is soft, and I didn't throw you to the ground..."

"Officer Jiang." Shao Jie accepted Jiang Mo's silent flattery with satisfaction. He dug a small hole in the middle of the pile of meat with his chopsticks, dug out another mouthful, dipped it in the sauce, buried it, and then blew a few mouthfuls of it into his mouth. He didn't forget to stop when he was done. He stretched out his white forearms and showed off the red marks on his wrists just now as if complaining: "You see, I am very fragile."

Jiang Mo raised his eyes perfunctorily, snorted through his nose, and almost subconsciously reached out to pat open Shao Jie's slender arm, catching half of the thick soup that splashed out of the edge of the pot.

Jiang Mo glanced at the back of his red hand, and without taking it seriously, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the oil stains stained with tomato juice. On the contrary, Shao Jie in front of him hissed and frowned in surprise. Before he stood up, he was stopped by her. He pressed his shoulder with one step and patted it twice without making a fuss.

"It won't hurt if you burn it. Eat yours."

"Momo, do you have to know the martial arts just now to be a police officer?... I also want to eat broccoli." Zhou Nanyi, who had been cooking tomato, beef and shrimp rice bowl for a long time, finally got the opportunity to raise the empty bowl and intervene to show off, while trying to Covering up her rounded belly, she glanced at her right hand which had been soaked in sticky tomato soup, and quietly tried to grab Jiang Mo's sleeve: "I want to learn this too and become a policeman in the future."

Jiang Mo took the small bowl and hid for a moment, tapping his head full of disgusting ideas to bargain: "Just eat two more, don't make yourself groan when the time comes." She raised her foot and nodded. Chair, Shao Jie, who was holding a wet tissue to punish Zhou Nan's little oily claws, stepped aside to give way, then tilted his head and glanced at him: "Did you see a thief on the road during the day?"

"Well, there was a temporary traffic control next to the shopping mall where he went to class. When we got there, we found a serious traffic jam. So we took him out of the car and took a shortcut in a hurry. We saw a lot of police arresting people next to the platform across the road." Shao Jie frowned. Nose thought for a moment, and said with a somewhat experienced calmness: "It's quite far away, and the plainclothes guy responsible for maintaining order didn't let us pass."

Jiang Mo bit the tip of his chopsticks and was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized: "...some comrades have foreign accents, and the cars they are guarding also have foreign license plates, right?"

"It's true." Shao Jie was busy carrying Zhou Nan, who loved to join in the fun, away from danger. Now he blinked blankly: "Do you know where it is?"

"It should be the joint task force of Lanjiang, here to catch the fugitives." Jiang Mo thought about it for a long time, picked out some irrelevant words, and chatted: "It seems to be a group of habitual criminals of trafficking, there are two butts The stupid buyer fled to Sheng'an more than half a month ago for some unknown reason. However, my master said that this case was led by the task force and arranged for the district branch to assist in the investigation, so that he could be caught before the new year. The accommodation is pretty good, otherwise Lanjiang’s colleagues would have to spend the Spring Festival here.”

"Abducted... abducted?!" Shao Jie stared at him, and instantly glanced at Zhou Nanyi, who was obviously unable to understand the specific meaning of these two Chinese words, and choked for a long time in fear: "Cough... cough cough ——I'm sorry, Officer Jiang, I didn't know about this and brought him with me——" "If an extremely dangerous suspect really escapes here, not only will I remind you, but the police will also issue a warning notice and even let you know. There are very few chances for you to meet each other by chance. Moreover, these people are fleeing from other places, and their accents can be heard immediately. It is also more difficult to commit crimes here in Sheng'an. What's more..." Jiang Mo gave Shao Jie a reassurance, and then poked him. He was looking at the potatoes in the bowl, his eyes drooping as if unintentionally, "So far, the main target of this group of people is still girls - about ten years old to more than 30 years old."

Shao Jie noticed that the tips of Jiang Mo's chopsticks froze when he mentioned the missing girl, and raised his eyes keenly: "Is that related to the previous surrogacy case in Qijia Village?"

Jiang Mo was a little surprised by Shao Jie's conclusion about the case that had been almost put on hold before. He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sure yet. The people in Qijia Village have had their own whole story since more than twenty years ago." Industrial chain, but these two suspects will not dare to run to Sheng'an without relatives or a place to visit, and we still have to wait for the results of the interrogation to come out."

Shao Jie nodded hesitantly and scratched his lips with the end of his chopsticks: "Is that the girl you just saw too...?"

"You saw it..." Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said "Hmm" for a long time, vaguely trying to pass the matter over: "It can be regarded as a screening of the missing people related to the case. No one is still alive. There is no corpse - there happened to be a case that was not settled a few years ago, and most of the victims involved were women... I was just thinking about it, and I guess it has little to do with Lanjiang and Qijia Village."

Shao Jie has always been very good at not procrastinating on serious matters. After being quiet for a while, he dropped the topic and stopped raking up the muddy waters ignorantly and fearlessly.He didn't just find trouble to stay overnight, but tried hard to keep his job as a "nanny" until New Year's Eve. After being ruthlessly rejected, he complained aggrievedly and struggled wildly on the edge of the door that was about to close. After a while, he sighed with a calm and depressed expression.

"...Jiang Mo."

Jiang Mo was holding the entrance door, with the training uniform he lent to Shao Jie hanging on his shoulders. His tone was sparse and normal, without any impatience: "Well, hurry up, don't expect Zhou Nan to stand next to you as soon as he comes out of the shower." Side."

Shao Jie pursed his lips and silently lowered his head and smiled.

In fact, he has been hesitating whether he should directly bring out the serial murder case three years ago, but after thinking for a long time, he put aside those unreasonable speculations and just looked at him with deep eyes. Looking sideways at Jiang Mo, who was thinking about the kitchen faucet, he suddenly raised his eyebrows in amusement and disgust.

"I'm still writing down the food I owe me. See you tomorrow."

　It is expected that depending on the recurring fever and the accumulated work schedule at home, we will slowly resume punch-in coding...for the time being, every other day...

　　Friendly reminder: If the high fever ranges between 39-40 for more than three days, try to go to the hospital... Whether it is pneumonia or severe upper respiratory tract infection, you still need to cooperate with the doctor's advice for treatment T^T
