Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Breakthrough or Bottleneck?

Cheng Che rushed back to the Public Security Bureau in a hurry, pushed open the door of Dong Peng's office, and saw Shang Yunxuan in white robes and Dong Peng sitting at the table, each holding a cup of coffee, seemingly sipping leisurely, The aroma of coffee floats in the air, piercing the nose and challenging the palate. "Are you back?" Dong Peng didn't speak, but Shang Yunxuan turned around and greeted Cheng Che with a smile, and raised the coffee cup in his hand, "Would you like a cup?" Thinking of Wu Ning's seemingly unconditional trusting attitude when he mentioned Shang Yunxuan just now, and being looked down upon wherever he went because of this face, Cheng Che felt angry for no reason.In addition, calling him back in a hurry, but seeing them so comfortable, also made him feel more angry, and blurted out: "No need."

Shang Yunxuan didn't seem to mind his cold tone, but instead smiled deeper, looked at his crumpled windbreaker meaningfully, and said with a tut: "Look, where did our little Cheche suffer?" Angry? Could it be that Xiao Ning gave you another look? Look at this mess, didn't she get beaten?" "It's not what you think, it's made by the kindergarten kids..." Cheng Che subconsciously explained immediately, seeing Shang Yunxuan's slightly raised peach blossom eyes, he realized that he was deliberately teasing himself, and immediately stopped talking, He stared angrily at Shang Yunxuan.

"Okay, Xiaoche, you are not used to Yunxuan's temper, the whole situation knows, he can't spit out ivory from his mouth." Dong Peng finally interjected, "However, the coffee is not bad." "Of course, I'm using the heater in the dissection room, which is the most advanced equipment, but it's the first time I've used it to make coffee." When Dong Peng heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he put the coffee cup on the table like a hot potato, as if he was afraid to avoid it.Seeing Dong Peng's rare gaffe made Cheng Che feel better and couldn't help laughing, but Dong Peng stared sharply.After all, like Shang Yunxuan, there are still a few people who can drink something made in the dissecting room without changing their expressions.

Dong Peng coughed twice, to resolve the embarrassment at that moment, and then said seriously: "Let's talk about business." Shang Yunxuan and Cheng Che were tacit about his deliberate change of subject, but this time even the dull Cheng Che didn't expose it again. After being told by Wu Ning several times that he didn't know how to watch the situation, he was also constantly reflecting on himself. He will not do something that will obviously be swept away by the typhoon. Cheng Che put on a businesslike look, "Team leader, did you find something?" "Ask him." Dong Peng pointed to Shang Yunxuan, and snorted coldly, "You'd better say something useful, instead of coming here for coffee."

Shang Yunxuan gracefully put down the coffee cup, picked up the report on the side, and blinked deliberately, "I remember Officer Dong, you obviously enjoyed it too." "It's useless for you to discharge me. It's better to put away your gloating expression." "Okay, since you're all looking forward to it, I'll talk about the autopsy results first. I came here in a hurry before I had lunch. I don't want to have a long discussion and delay dinner after get off work." Thinking of the dinner appointment with Wu Ning, Cheng Che couldn't help but sit up straight and concentrate on listening carefully, wanting to finish early and get off work on time to fulfill the appointment.

"According to the results of the autopsy, there is a new discovery. Alcohol was detected in the body of the deceased. Judging from the degree of its dissolution in the stomach of the deceased, it should not take too long. The reports are consistent." Shang Yunxuan stopped here and looked at Dong Peng. Dong Peng frowned and thought: "I didn't see any wine at the scene." "Could the murderer have taken it?" Cheng Che guessed. "It's possible, but nothing is certain until physical evidence is found." "In addition..." Shang Yunxuan paused, and continued, "There are two new clues about the physical evidence. My colleagues from the forensic department also asked me to report it to Police Officer Dong. You know. One is from the window of the room where the deceased lived. The fiber taken out of the tank was confirmed to be the clothes worn by the deceased Deng Feng when he died; the second is that the mobile phone was found in the luggage of the deceased. The last call record on it was from the day of check-in at the hotel, and the time was before the hotel registration. It’s a public phone near the hotel, so I can’t check it in detail.”

"It's a public phone again!" Cheng Che was extremely indignant. He had never hated this convenient communication facility as much as he did now. "Before Liu Huihui died, the caller was also from a public phone number. Is this a coincidence?" "Obviously someone doesn't want us to find out Deng Feng's whereabouts after he arrived in the city." Dong Peng said. "If the fibers of the clothes are indeed found in the window slot, it will prove that your original speculation, the leader, is probably correct." "Officer Dong, do you suspect that Deng Feng was pushed down the stairs? When we were doing the autopsy, we also found some friction marks on his back, but they were not obvious, so I agree with your inference , and the marks are likely to be very faint because the strength is reduced through the clothing."

Shang Yunxuan's words further confirmed Dong Peng's conjecture, so they were not wrong to investigate in the direction of homicide. "Yu Fang's child, how did you find out?" Dong Peng turned to Cheng Che. "I got some information." Cheng Che went to the kindergarten and told Dong Peng what happened when he saw Yu Hang and Yu Fang. Naturally, he couldn't hide the fact that he went with Wu Ning. "Xiao Ning is unexpectedly enthusiastic this time." Shang Yunxuan crossed his arms and looked sideways at Cheng Che, with a smile that was not a smile.

Cheng Che retorted unconvinced, "What's wrong with Xiao Ning helping me? Or do you have other ideas?" "I don't mind, but the person who plots evil, I'm afraid it's Xiao Cheche you?" Shang Yunxuan spread his hands. "Don't call me Little Cheche!" "Ahem, can I interrupt the two of you first?" Dong Peng's words attracted the attention of the two, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Both of you looked anxious just now, and now they are talking a lot of useless things, wait Discussion of the case is over, you can quarrel at will."

"Yes, team leader." "Yes, Officer Dong." This time, Cheng Che and Shang Yunxuan had a tacit understanding. "The photo of the woman in Deng Feng's wallet is his girlfriend Chen Ying. We got in touch with her. She is coming from S City. She is expected to come to the Public Security Bureau early tomorrow morning." Cheng Che nodded, "We can learn about Deng Feng's detailed situation through Chen Ying." "That's right. After she comes, I'll ask you a question, and then I can check it further." Dong Peng paused, "The person who came to Deng Feng has already found out his identity. His name is Fang Ziqing, and he works in a game software company. I took office, but I haven't looked for him yet, and I will go to him after I ask Chen Ying, so as not to startle the snake. Xiao Che, tell me your opinion based on the current clues and information. "

Facing Dong Peng's scrutinizing gaze, Cheng Che understood that Dong Peng was trying to test himself, so he calmed down and organized his thoughts clearly, "From the testimony we got at the express hotel, Yu Fang mentioned that Deng Peng was in the middle of Fang Ziqing's visit. In the conversation between Feng and Fang Ziqing, there should be a conflict about money between the two. It is very likely that Fang Ziqing made the call." "go on." Cheng Che continued to speculate: "Now it seems that Fang Ziqing is suspected of killing Deng Feng. He may have gone to Deng Feng's room at that time. The two had a dispute over money and killed Deng Feng in a fit of anger." "Your assumption is not unreasonable." Dong Peng looked at Cheng Che calmly, "But there are two suspicious points. First, the surveillance video of the elevator did not capture Fang Ziqing on the day Deng Feng died. And because Deng Feng died in the afternoon, most of the residents were either traveling or running errands. There was almost no one on the entire floor. In the elevator surveillance video, except for Yu Fang, who was cleaning, no one had been on the sixth floor. Lou, this is one of the reasons why it is difficult to find witnesses in the case.” Cheng Che thought for a while, "Is it possible for Fang Ziqing to go up the stairs?" "There is no trace of anyone passing by on the safety ladder." Shang Yunxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, interjected. "Of course, it doesn't rule out that he used other methods that we didn't expect." Before everything was confirmed, Mr. Dong Peng was habitually suspicious. This was a habit he had developed over the years as a policeman. One doubtful point is that if Fang Ziqing killed Deng Feng during a dispute as you have analyzed, how would the alcohol content in Deng Feng's body be explained? Usually killing people without a plan, it is impossible to plan carefully, and they have done preparatory work, unless it is Deng Feng's drinking had nothing to do with being killed, or the murderer had premeditated." "This..." Cheng Che scratched his head when he heard the words, showing a little confused expression, "It seems that I haven't thought thoroughly enough." "It's okay, I told you to say it, if you do well, you will improve if you work hard." Cheng Che smiled embarrassedly, but suddenly felt that Dong Peng was not as strict as he appeared on the outside, but more like a persuasive master. "When Chen Ying comes tomorrow, I'll meet Fang Ziqing after I have identified the corpse and said good things." "Yes, team leader." "It seems that the matter here has come to an end, and we can finally go back to eat." Shang Yunxuan stood up with a long leg, regardless of whether Dong Peng agreed, turned to Cheng Che, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Cheche, did you have a meal today?" Planning to go to Xiao Ning's house for dinner? Can you drop by and give me a ride?" "Don't call me that!" Cheng Che's resentment was called back by Shang Yunxuan, and he glared at him angrily, but even so, he still couldn't hide his conscience from telling lies. Seeing that Cheng Che didn't deny it, the smile on Shang Yunxuan's face deepened, "Then don't dawdle, you won't wait for others." Cheng Che looked at Dong Peng questioningly, Dong Peng nodded, and waved his hand to signal that they could leave.Then Cheng Che followed Shang Yunxuan and walked out of Dong Peng's office with unwilling steps. Wu Xiaoxiao had a noodle in her mouth, but forgot to suck it into her mouth. A pair of big smart eyes patrolled the adults sitting around the table, curiously observing their subtle movements. Shang Yunxuan is obviously the one who looks the most leisurely. Holding the chopsticks with his slender fingers, he elegantly but quickly attacks the face in front of him. Even so, he can't hide the half-smile on his mouth.There was no other reason. Opposite him, Cheng Che was eating noodles with a bowl, but his eyes flicked to Shang Yunxuan from time to time, as if he had been enmity with him for several lifetimes, with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Wu Ning, who was sitting by the side, also had a pensive expression on her face. She rested her chin, not knowing where her mind had wandered, and she turned a blind eye to the subtle atmosphere in front of her.However, according to Wu Xiaoxiao's observation, her sister has always been like this when she came back, and it has nothing to do with the arrival of Cheng Che and Shang Yunxuan. In fact, Wu Ning's thoughts are not complicated. Ever since she met Yu Hang, the mother and son who depended on each other always appeared in front of her eyes.Emotionally speaking, she really didn't want Yu Fang to be the murderer.She and her younger brother have been dependent on each other for years, which made her fully realize how difficult it is to raise a child alone.Whether as a woman or as a mother, Yu Fang is already very pitiful.But she also understands that sympathy cannot replace the law. If Yu Fang is really a murderer, he will always be brought to justice in the end.Therefore, Wu Ning can only hope that these murders have nothing to do with Yu Fang. Thinking of this, Wu Ning looked at Cheng Che who was still trying to practice his eyesight with Shang Yunxuan, "What new clues did you find?" "Huh? What?" Cheng Che couldn't react for a while, after recollecting Wu Ning's words, when he turned to Wu Ning, his tone was a little hesitant, "I can't go into too much detail about the investigation, if the team leader knows... ..." "You can simply say no?" Wu Ning stared at him, with a bit of invisible oppression in his sharp eyes, which made Cheng Che flinch involuntarily, and subconsciously looked at Shang Yunxuan. It's a pity that he hoped that Shang Yunxuan would lend a helping hand, the probability of being struck by lightning twice in one day was almost lower than that, so Shang Yunxuan stretched out his hands to him comfortably, and gave him a helpless look. he. "this……" Wu Ning put down his chopsticks with a snap, but his face became calmer, "It doesn't matter if you are inconvenient to say it." What she said made Cheng Che feel uncomfortable, like the calm before the storm, with a sense of uneasiness filling his heart.He stammered, "Actually...it's not impossible to say..." Wu Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Che intermittently and told almost everything he found out. He couldn't help feeling that his sister was the policeman, and Cheng Che, who was a police officer, had become a prisoner.He couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart, can this big brother really be a policeman?No wonder he was always bullied. "It seems that this man who came to Deng Feng is also very suspicious?" Wu Ning thought. Cheng Che nodded, "It looks right now." "Then is there any connection between Deng Feng's case and Liu Huihui's murder?" Wu Ning asked. "Except that the discovery of the corpse is also from the book "Doll's Killing Intent", there is no direct evidence to prove that it is a serial murder case, and further investigation is needed." Hearing that Cheng Che mentioned "Doll's Killing Intent", Wu Ning stopped asking and fell silent.Cheng Che touched his nose, knowing that it must have touched Wu Ning's memory of his father again, but some words are embarrassing, and if they are not spoken out, they will always remain indelibly imprinted in his heart. Cheng Che coughed lightly, and said again, "Xiao Ning..." Wu Ning looked at him, smiled slightly, and interrupted him, "By the way, are you still doubting Yu Fang?" "I can't completely remove her suspicion, but the team leader has not made further arrangements. I don't think we will take any action against her until there is new evidence." Cheng Che thought for a while, and then said, "But after all , she still has something to hide, doesn't she?" "But this alone does not prove that she is suspected of murder. Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to be known, right?" "It seems that Xiaoning, you are inclined to think that the woman named Yu Fang is not the murderer." Shang Yunxuan's unhurried voice came, he seemed to have already filled his stomach, and he was leisurely leaning against the table, leisurely Drinking water from glass. Wu Ning lowered his head, "I just think it's better not to bother the mother and child if the investigation is not clear." "Xiao Ning, do you sympathize with them? But no matter what kind of people, as long as they have obsessions in their hearts, they will become murderers, including you and me." Shang Yunxuan's tone of smile was merciless and cruel, But it is also an irrefutable fact that often oneself is the biggest enemy. "Shang Forensic..." As soon as Cheng Che opened his mouth, Shang Yunxuan stood up casually, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and said, "I'm going back." "Brother Shang, is it so early today?" Wu Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at Shang Yunxuan. Shang Yunxuan smiled and patted him on the head, "I didn't enjoy the coffee in the afternoon, so I was interrupted by some daredevil to talk about work, alas, I really miss the taste of coffee in the afternoon, I went home to make coffee. " As Shang Yunxuan said, he glanced at Cheng Che pointingly.Thinking of Shang Yunxuan's two cups of coffee brewed in the dissecting room, and Dong Peng's "wonderful" expression after learning the truth, Cheng Che couldn't help laughing secretly, provoking Shang Yunxuan's banter. "Little Cheche, if you hold back your laughter, you will get internal injuries." "Shang Forensic, as a medical student, how can you believe such things that are not in line with human science?" Cheng Che retorted unconvinced. Shang Yunxuan shook his head, "Forcibly suppressing anything is not good for the body and mind, including the mood of course." "But not everyone can live as you like, Shang Forensic Doctor, who lives as he pleases, only following his own happiness, and not caring about other people's feelings." Recently, for some reason, Cheng Che has always looked down on Shang Yunxuan, including his Likes to talk teasingly. "I keep smiling every day, isn't it just because of those female colleagues who hope so? Isn't this a blessing to them?" "what is this?" Shang Yunxuan sighed seriously, and said earnestly: "Little Cheche, you are still too young to understand the distress of being an idol in everyone's mind." "Enough." Wu Ning suddenly uttered two words, slanting out to interrupt the endless debate between the two, "Go out and turn right, the next door is Big Brother Shang's house, you can continue to fight there." Shang Yunxuan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Che with a smile, "How is it? Would you like a cup of coffee?" Cheng Che stood up and shook his head, "Forensic Doctor Shang, I appreciate your kindness, I think I'd better go home." The two were talking, and with Wu Ning's staring gaze and Wu Xiaoxiao's mature expression holding his chin, they walked out of the Wu family's gate one after the other.Wu Xiaoxiao withdrew his gaze, shook his head seriously, and sighed heavily.
