She has worked as a waitress in a restaurant, a temporary worker in a factory, and a masseur, but because these jobs were not only tiring but also paid little, she was introduced to work in a dance hall. After discovering that she could make money there, she continued to work there.

Victoria was not her first dance hall, but it was the best one she had ever run. Relying on her own skills, she had made a lot of money in just less than a year.

Just like Shen Mo said, her life story was very miserable and she lived with her mother when she was a child.

Her mother was originally a snack vendor. She bought a gas cylinder of inferior quality because she wanted to save money. It exploded and she suffered burns all over her body. Due to her tight financial situation and unable to afford the high medical expenses, she had to drink pesticide to commit suicide.

This is why she attaches great importance to money.

"Shen Mo, is this Internet cafe really opened by your boyfriend?"

Yin Hong sat with Shen Mo and instead of playing on the computer, she started chatting with Shen Mo.

Shen Mo said: "Yes, not only here, he also has an Internet cafe that is being renovated."

Although she knew that Zhou Chen didn't have a good impression of Yin Hong, she did not distance herself from Yin Hong. She still felt that Yin Hong was a good friend, and her brother seemed to have some different feelings for Yin Hong.

"Really? Then he is quite amazing."

Yin Hong's eyes flickered, but she was not surprised, because she knew that Zhou Chen was also a frequent visitor to Victoria, but he always went to Victoria with another woman, but she had never seen him take Shen Mo there.

Although Shen Mo had told her before that he had played the piano in Victoria, he had not told her about Zhou Chen. So before she met Zhou Chen, she actually didn't know that Shen Mo's boyfriend was Zhou Chen.

"Shen Mo, has your boyfriend been to Victoria? I feel like I've seen him in Victoria a few times."

Shen Mo was slightly stunned, but soon smiled and said, "Yes, he has been to Victoria, but he doesn't like me going to that kind of place, so after I left Victoria, I never went there again."

"Oh, really? I remember there was a guy who looked quite similar to him and often went to Victoria with a very beautiful woman. I must have seen it wrong."

The fact that Shen Mo was able to get into Huayi University on her own showed that she was very smart. How could she be fooled by Yin Hong's tone that was trying to cover up something?

But she didn't show any strangeness. Instead, she smiled and said, "You must have seen it wrong. Zhou Chen is very good to me and we have a very good relationship."

"Oh, I see."

Yin Hong was not surprised. She thought Shen Mo was not aware of the affair between Zhou Chen and Xu Zhiyun.

In fact, she didn't know that Shen Mo had known about the relationship between Zhou Chen and Xu Zhiyun for a long time, and Zhou Chen did not hide it from her, but she did not break up with Zhou Chen because of this.

She has lived for so many years, and Zhou Chen is the best man to her besides her father and brother. Her heart has long been attached to Zhou Chen. As long as Zhou Chen does not leave her, she can turn a blind eye to some things.

What's more, Zhou Chen had told her that as long as she wanted, they could register for marriage and become husband and wife. She believed that Zhou Chen would not lie to her.

Yin Hong looked at Shen Mo with a happy and sweet smile on his face, and couldn't help feeling jealous. She was jealous of Shen Mo, jealous of her good background, jealous of her good grades and her ability to get into university, and jealous of her having a rich boyfriend like Zhou Chen. In short, she was jealous of all the good things about Shen Mo.

As soon as she saw Shen Mo, she longed to live like Shen Mo, instead of being like she was now, where she would give up anything to survive.

If she had a choice, she would certainly want to be a 'clean' person.

Just then, Fu Weijun brought over two bottles of water and handed them to Shen Mo and Yin Hong respectively.

Shen Mo opened the drink skillfully and started drinking it, while Yin Hong smiled brightly at Fu Weijun.

"Thank you."

Fu Weijun's face immediately turned red, and he quickly stepped back embarrassedly.

Yin Hong burst out laughing. She thought this little mute was quite interesting. For someone like her who indulged in scenes like those in dance halls, how could she not see that Fu Weijun had a good impression of her.

Although Fu Weijun is a deaf-mute and does not meet her standards for a partner, she feels a sense of accomplishment that such a handsome boy is infatuated with her.

But if Fu Weijun was replaced by Zhou Chen, it would be even more perfect.

Shen Mo sat next to Zhou Chen and watched Zhou Chen skillfully operate the mouse and keyboard. This was Age of Empires, which was also a very retro computer game for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen stopped playing after just a short while. This game is too old-fashioned. It’s fun to play it occasionally, but after a while, he lost interest.

"How about I cook for you when we get home?"

The home Shen Mo was talking about was not Zhou Chen's home, but the rental house she and Fu Weijun rented near the Internet cafe.

Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "Okay, then we'll go buy some food later."

"it is good."

Shen Mo was very happy. She was not good at cooking, but if she could do these for Zhou Chen, she would be very willing. She had been in contact with him frequently in the past few months.

After the two of them had discussed it, they prepared to leave, but Zhou Chen stopped as soon as he walked out of the Internet cafe.

"Old Ma, why are you here?"

Seeing Ma Desheng at the entrance of the Internet cafe, Zhou Chen was very surprised: "Are you, the criminal police captain, coming to my small Internet cafe on business?"

Ma Desheng was holding a bag, followed by Cui Guodong. When he saw Zhou Chen, he also smiled.

"Why am I here? I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there. I heard from your neighbor across the street that you opened an Internet cafe here, so I came here to look for you."

"Sure, Zhou Chen, you actually opened an Internet cafe. Aren't you a medical student? Why do you open an internet cafe when you don't work in the hospital?"

Cui Guodong also said: "Yeah, you have confused Ma Dui and me. It costs a lot of money to open an Internet cafe, right? Why didn't you invite us when you opened it?"

"It's OK, not too much. It's just a small internet cafe. Why would you call the police when an internet cafe opens?"

Zhou Chen smiled, then asked curiously: "Lao Ma, you came all the way to see me, is there something going on?"

Ma Desheng did not answer immediately. He glanced at Shen Mo beside Zhou Chen and asked with a smile, "Is this your girlfriend?" As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen knew what he meant. He had taken Ma Desheng to Victoria to arrest someone, and Ma Desheng had seen him and Xu Zhiyun together.

"Shen Mo, my girlfriend, Lao Ma, the captain of the criminal police team, and an old friend."

Shen Mo said politely, "Hello, Ma Dui."

"Hello."

Ma Desheng was a little surprised, because he had indeed heard of Shen Mo. When he went to the police station to see Zhou Chen before, he originally wanted to help Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen left without asking for his help. It was at that time that he knew Shen Mo.

"I do have something to talk to you about. There happens to be a food stall across the street. I'll treat you. We can eat and chat."

"OK, no problem."

Although he didn't know what Ma Desheng was about, Zhou Chen immediately agreed.

"Shen Mo, Ma Dui and the others will go first. You wait for me in the Internet cafe."

"Just go and do your work, don't worry about me. I'll have something to eat with Xiaojun and the others later."

"it is good."

Zhou Chen, Ma Desheng and Cui Guodong came to the food stall together and found an empty seat to sit down.

It was still early and the food stall had just started opening. Apart from their table, there were no other customers.

As soon as Zhou Chen sat down, he called the boss: "Boss, order some food."

Ma Desheng immediately said, "I told you I'd treat you, why are you yelling?"

"Lao Ma, you are too polite. After all, this is my territory. I often come here to eat. I am very familiar with the boss and can keep accounts. Just don't worry about it and listen to me."

After a lot of pushing and shoving, Ma Desheng finally had no choice but to let Zhou Chen order the dishes.

Because they were the only guests at the table, the food was served quickly. After a while, several cold dishes and hot dishes were served. They were also going to serve wine, but Ma Desheng refused on the grounds of discipline.

"Lao Ma, you haven't come to see me once in the past six months. Why did you come to see me so suddenly this time? You even went to the Internet cafe on purpose? What do you want my help with?"

"How do you know that I need your help with something? Can't I just talk to you about the past?" Ma Desheng peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Forget it. You haven't contacted me for half a year, and you suddenly come to me and say you want to reminisce about the past. Do you think I will believe you?"

"How come you are so mature even though you just graduated from college? You guessed right, I do have something to talk to you about."

"Oh, that's right. If you have something to say, just say it. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I still admire you, Lao Ma. If the criminal police team were all people like you, we ordinary people would definitely be safer and more at ease."

"Well, don't flatter me. I'm just a detective, and I don't deserve your praise."

Ma Desheng waved his hand, then straightened his face and said, "This time we encountered a case. It's not a murder case, but it's also quite troublesome. It involves Hong Kong businessmen."

"Hong Kong businessman?"

Zhou Chen instantly thought of Lu Wenzhong.

"Yes, he is a Hong Kong businessman. Originally, this is the case we are in charge of, so I shouldn't tell you directly. But now we have encountered some problems, so I will tell you directly. However, since I said this, you must not tell anyone else."

Zhou Chen said: "I'm not that gossipy."

"That Hong Kong businessman was attacked a few nights ago. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also robbed of a sum of money and a check worth 800,000. We have been investigating for a long time, but have not found anything. I remember that you found the murderer in a crowd last time, so I wanted to ask you how you found him. Maybe it can help us solve the case this time."

Ma Desheng looked at Zhou Chen expectantly. As the captain of the criminal police team, this was his duty.

But after so many days, there was still no clue. The director kept urging him, but he still had no idea. Finally, Cui Guodong whispered about Zhou Chen in his ear, saying that Zhou Chen had found the murderer before, and if he found Zhou Chen this time, maybe he could help.

Ma Desheng had no better choice but to try his luck and find Zhou Chen to see if there was any chance.

Chapter 956 Rejection, anonymous letter, Song Yukun was arrested

"Lao Ma, Lao Cui, you really have a keen eye."

Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. These two people asked for help and they turned out to ask him, the culprit.

In a sense, they found the real murderer by accident.

Cui Guodong was unhappy: "Hey, hey, I say, you can call me Lao Ma, but why do you call me Lao Cui? Don't look at my mature appearance, but I am actually only a few years older than you."

Ma Desheng cursed: "Xiao Cui, if you can't talk, just say less. With your attitude, no one would doubt you if you said you are fifteen years older than Zhou Chen."

"Captain Ma, I follow you every day. It would be fine if you didn't speak for me, but why do you help outsiders?" Cui Guodong cried out loudly.

"Don't interrupt me, let's get down to business."

Ma Desheng stopped Cui Guodong's weird shouting and asked Zhou Chen seriously, "Zhou Chen, do you have any way to help us find someone?"

Zhou Chen sighed: "Lao Ma, if you want me to help you find someone, you have to give me some useful clues. I just know that a Hong Kong businessman was beaten and robbed of a large sum of money. I don't know anything else. How can you let me help you?"

Ma Desheng slapped his head and finally reacted.

"It's all Xiao Cui's fault. He has disrupted my train of thought. I can tell you what I know. Although this is against the rules and disciplines, there is no other way to solve the case."

If he hadn't been urged by his superiors and couldn't find anyone, and he was quite familiar with Zhou Chen, he wouldn't have looked for Zhou Chen, an outsider.

"According to the clues we have, this criminal is between 20 and 40 years old, male, 175 to 185 cm tall, very strong, and should be engaged in manual labor."

"But what's strange is that this person is very cautious. He clearly received a check for 800,000, but so many days have passed, but he has never cashed it at the bank. So we speculate that this person is cautious and has certain anti-detection methods. He is not a simple manual laborer."

Zhou Chen was very surprised: "How did you find this information? Is there a criminal profiler in your team?"

Ma Desheng said, "There is no such thing as a criminal profiler. We don't have one in our bureau anyway. This profession is similar to forensic doctors. Those with poor skills are not as good as us on-site police officers who handle cases all year round. Our bureau can't afford to hire high-level ones. What I said was carefully analyzed and investigated by our criminal police team. I dare not say that it is completely correct, but it is roughly the same. I am still confident about this."

Zhou Chen gave him a thumbs up. Criminal profilers do look impressive, but in fact, some experienced police officers did not specifically learn it, but their experience made them not much worse than those profilers.

After all, when handling cases, sufficient knowledge reserves are important, but case handling experience is equally important.

I have to say that Ma Desheng is indeed capable. He believed that what he did at the time was very secretive, but Ma Desheng was able to analyze these characteristics that matched his own experience based on his case handling experience. He is really amazing.

"How about it? With this information, can you find the suspicious person?" Ma Desheng asked Zhou Chen with anticipation.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Old Ma, you think too highly of me. I was able to find the murderer last time because I was eager to avenge my students. To put it bluntly, I was a little obsessed at the time. But even so, I found that dress in Victoria by chance. If it weren't for that dress, I wouldn't have found the murderer."

"Now, although you have mentioned these characteristics, the problem is that there are too many people who meet the requirements. I believe that you must have screened them more than once. Even so many of you cannot find any. Do you think I can beat so many of you? You think too highly of me."

Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Ma Desheng sighed quietly. He was not disappointed with this answer. He came to Zhou Chen just hoping for a chance.

"Lao Ma, don't be so depressed. You are the captain of the criminal police team in Hualin City. I believe you can do it." Zhou Chen encouraged.

Ma Desheng rolled his eyes: "Why do I feel like you are flattering me? It would be fine if you didn't say anything, but the more you say, the more uncomfortable I feel. Even an outsider like you can solve a murder case, but I, a captain of the criminal police, can't solve this robbery and assault case. I am ashamed."

"I was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. What can you compare me to?"

"No more talking, eat the food, eat the food."

Although Ma Desheng was melancholy, he never thought of drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Cui Guodong said to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, don't blame Captain Ma. He is under a lot of pressure. This incident involves Hong Kong businessmen and Huagang Steel. The city has put a lot of pressure on the bureau, and the bureau has put the pressure on Captain Ma, so this case is very troublesome. Our entire criminal police team has not had a good night's sleep for many days."

"Pressure is bullshit."

Ma Desheng cursed directly, "Am I the kind of person who is afraid of pressure? This is my job and my responsibility. I am not upset with anything else, but with that Hong Kong businessman."

Cui Guodong nodded repeatedly: "Captain Ma, I can understand you. That bastard doesn't cooperate at all and only knows Cui every day."

"Zhou Chen, you don't know that guy actually threatened us, saying that the security in Hualin is too poor. If we can't find the murderer this time, he will never invest in Hualin again. He even published an article in the newspaper to condemn our inaction. Damn it, isn't it infuriating?"

"Threatening the police?"

Zhou Chen was also very shocked. Was Lu Wenzhong insane? How could he say such a thing?
