deep sin

Chapter 276
After the drug-related killing and abandonment case was solved, Qin Ruonan was also punished for her violation of discipline during the investigation. Because it was her carefulness in the process of solving the case that allowed the real murderer to enter the police. In addition to the homicide case, Qin Ruonan also hit a drug gang by the way. Originally, Qin Ruonan could get rid of the result of being punished, but Cheng Feng thought that she still needed to be punished for her behavior of collecting evidence privately so that she could be remembered in the future. Therefore, Qin Ruonan was temporarily seconded to another department and asked her to do back office work for more than a month.

To others, this may not be considered a punishment, but to Qin Ruonan, who has strong mobility and great enthusiasm for work, it is simply a kind of torture for her to stay indoors all day long.

After more than a month, after countless times she took the initiative to go to Cheng Feng, promising that she would never make her own claims in the future, she finally ended the "punishment period" and was able to return to the serious crime team.

During the period when he was seconded to work as a civil servant, although he could not fight side by side with An Changpu every day like before, the number of times the two met did not decrease significantly. Whenever An Changpu was free, he would go to Qin Ruonan The seconded department came to find her, and sometimes they brought her something to eat and drink, and sometimes there was nothing to do, just ran to her and said a few innocuous words, which made the other female internal staff in that department The police officer looked at Qin Ruonan more and more ambiguously every day. Every time An Changpu appeared at the door, he immediately winked and smiled at Qin Ruonan, which made Qin Ruonan embarrassed and didn't know what to do. He wanted to get rid of it, but was afraid There is an effect of trying to cover up, so I have to bite the bullet and pretend that I don't notice other people's eyes.

If she gets off work early or when she is free on weekends, An Changpu will also ask her to have dinner with her. Although they have been getting along well since they became partners and got along better, the recent behavior of An Changpu always makes people feel that they are in harmony with her. It seemed different in the past, nothing was said in his mouth, but there was an indescribable ambiguity in his actions.

Once Qin Ruonan finally couldn't bear it anymore, asked himself to have dinner in Anchangpu, and ordered his favorite food familiarly, and when he frequently picked up food for himself, he opened his mouth and said to him: "Recently, I have a meal with me. People in the office asked me what was going on with the two of us in private, and if you have nothing to do in the future, you better not go to my side, there is no need to provoke unnecessary arguments."

"The mouth is on their faces, I can't control what they want to say, and the legs are standing on top of me, it's none of their business what I want to do," An Changpu said indifferently after hearing this, "People can't live in this world. I don't care about other people's feelings at all, but I can't care too much about other people's eyes. It's useless for others to say anything, but if you think I'm going to you to add burden to you, then I can think about it in the future."

Hearing what he said, Qin Ruonan groaned for a long time but couldn't make himself express his opinion against his will, so he could only express his heart like a drum but tried his best to maintain a calm expression that he didn't mind, but because he was too busy to cover up his inner feelings, he didn't notice There was a faint and sly smile on An Changpu's face.

Qin Ruonan always feels that An Changpu treats him a little differently recently, but he can't explain why. Although An Changpu has always cared about himself in the past and often takes care of himself, the feeling is subtly different from what he feels now She often can't help but secretly imagine in her heart whether this change is the reason she once imagined and hoped for, but she always restrains herself as soon as such a thought comes up, for fear of misleading herself. In the end, I ended up with an even more disappointing result.

So during this period of time, she has always maintained this kind of vague friendship with An Changpu, which is more intimate than friendship but not like a lover, with such complicated emotions, a little confused but also a little sweet and joyful.

It's not that I don't want to ask clearly, in fact, it's just the opposite. Many times when An Changpu showed his concern and closeness in a timely manner, Qin Ruonan wanted to muster up the courage to ask him why he should care about himself and why he should be nice to himself. , Is it because his definition of friendship and love is different from his own, or after getting along for so long, his feelings about himself have changed.

However, in the end, she still didn't dare to really ask, for fear that she would find the answer and shatter her dream at the same time.

Although this may be a bit sad, she still wants to keep the last little fantasy of happiness for herself, even if the fantasy brings only illusions.

After the "punishment period" was over and he was finally able to return to the serious crime team, the interaction between An Changpu and Qin Ruonan became more convenient and frequent because of his proximity to the water. At first, Qin Ruonan was a little worried, fearing that he would attract other people As a result, Tian Yang and the others didn't seem to feel any difference between himself and An Changpu, which made Qin Ruonan wonder if it was really just because he was "conceived with evil intentions" that he thought too much.

After entering late June, in addition to high temperatures, summer also brought thunderstorms.When An Changpu walked into the office this morning, he saw Qin Ruonan with a tired face and two thick dark circles under his eyes.

"What's the matter? What's wrong?" An Changpu was taken aback, and quickly asked about the situation.

Qin Ruonan shook his head: "No, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night."

The weather has been cloudy and sunny for the past few days. After a few sporadic showers, just the night before, City C encountered a severe thunderstorm that has not been seen in decades. Note, the lightning followed one after another, and the thunder and thunder exploded alternately in the sky, which was very frightening.The house Qin Ruonan rented was an old building nearly 20 years old. The sound insulation of the building and the sealing of the windows were unsatisfactory. Therefore, under the bombardment of thunderstorms all night, he could not sleep at all. After Shan Leiming gradually subsided, he was finally able to sleep for two or three hours.

"Look, I told you before that the rent where you live is not very cheap, and the environment is not ideal. There is no need to stay there. You should look for a new house before the lease expires." An Changpu Knowing what kind of living environment Qin Ruonan rented in the house, she knew the reason why she couldn't sleep all night without asking, let alone she was a young girl, even he himself was raped by that almost without a break last night. The lightning and thunder startled me.

Qin Ruonan shook his head: "I live very close to work, and the transportation cost alone can save a lot for a month, and our commute time is also unstable. When we live too far away and work overtime, we even take the bus. not."

"In fact, you don't have to worry about this. By the way, there is a house for rent near our house. The rent is about the same as yours now. The environment is much better. You can think about it. If we move there, the two of us will be neighbors. It is very convenient to take care of each other, and I will be my car when commuting to and from get off work," An Changpu knew what Qin Ruonan wanted to say, and before she could speak, he joked, "If you don't want to sit in vain, I can also follow the bus schedule. Fares are charged."

Qin Ruonan didn't express his opinion right away, and had to admit that An Changpu's proposal was indeed very attractive to her. Needless to say, just living in a place close to him was enough to tempt her. up.

At this time, Tian Yang ran in from the outside, saw An Changpu and Qin Ruonan, and waved at them: "It happens that you two are here, go, get out of the scene!"

When An Changpu and Qin Ruonan heard that there was a case to be dealt with, they immediately suspended the topic they had just discussed, got up and went downstairs with Tian Yang.

"I just received the notice." On the way to the destination, Tian Yang explained the situation to the two of them, "The thunderstorm and strong wind last night tossed several villages on the outskirts of the city, and the houses of many families were torn down. The roof and the crops in the field were also destroyed a lot, and the surrounding woods were struck by lightning and caught fire. Fortunately, it rained heavily and did not cause a serious fire. This morning, when several nearby villagers teamed up to check the damage to the crops , found that the forest was also on fire, so I stopped by to have a look, and found a charred body in a forest. I thought it was someone nearby who was struck by lightning in the forest at night, so I called the police. After the forensic doctor came to the scene to see , to make sure that the body was not killed by lightning."

"Murder and burn corpses?" Qin Ruonan immediately thought of the greatest possibility.

Tian Yang nodded: "The current suspicion is like this, so let's go over and see the situation."

An Changpu and Qin Ruonan nodded, with a rough estimate in their hearts.

The car walked for more than 40 minutes before finally arriving at the scene where the body was found. This place is already outside the urban area, near a branch road leading to the suburban towns of City C. Since there is no driveway leading to the scene, Tian Yang and the others can only Park the car next to the guardrail beside the road, then step over the guardrail and walk slowly down the dirt slope next to the road, and then go through a forest to the place where the corpse is buried.

The heavy rain the night before made the soil beside the road absorb enough water and became soft. People stepped on it with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was very difficult to move. When the three people came to the scene through the woods, their feet were already covered with mud. The trouser legs were also wet from the residual rain on the vegetation.

The faces of the criminal technicians who were already at the scene were a bit ugly, and they knew very well without asking An Changpu that the rain last night washed away all the traces that might have been left on the scene, posing a big problem for the criminal technicians.

The corpses were lying on the wasteland next to a few trees. The bark of the trees next to them was scorched black, and the lower branches were all burnt, which formed a clear difference from the lush greenness of other trees around.

In contrast, the charred corpse on the ground beside the tree was even more horrible.
