Chapter 095 Chinese New Year
The night after Song Boxian returned home, he learned from his mother that his father had already had lunch with Liu Sejin at noon that day. It was said that his father drank happily.
"Mom, eldest brother is already 27, why aren't you married yet?"
Because it was in her own home, Lou Jiajia didn't shy away from it: "Your eldest brother can't make the decision on his own marriage. He should get married after the Chinese New Year."
Song Boxian asked curiously: "By the way, the eldest brother is the future Duke of Qin. Who has the chance to become his wife, the future wife of Duke Qin?"
Lou Jiajia pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then said: "I happened to hear your father say something yesterday. If nothing else, it should be Princess Suyang."
puff...
Song Boxian spat out a mouthful of water: "Who? The royal family?"
Lou Jiajia nodded: "No, your eldest brother is lucky. After two generations, it has just been his turn to marry the princess."
"What about second brother?"
Lou Jiajia shook her head: "I don't know, your uncle and the others are probably still choosing. After all, he is the second son, either the daughter of a distinguished noble, or the daughter of some high-ranking official in the court."
As she spoke, Lou Jiajia looked at Song Boxian with sincerity: "My son, our family is in a special situation. Fortunately, you entered the Imperial College in a hurry. Otherwise, you would have been dependent on others for the rest of your life. You must study hard and choose a good major when the time comes. After graduation, I can become a mayor without becoming a county magistrate."
"Mom," Song Boxian said seriously, "In our Ming Dynasty, what is the fastest way to get promoted?"
"Nepotism..."
Song Baixian had a dark look on his face, then waved his hand: "I said the right way."
Lou Jiajia rolled her eyes at him: "There is no way to get promoted quickly through the proper channels. Just dream..."
...
"There's a war..."
When he returned to Nanjing, Zaixing called his old cousin Song Boxian out at noon. When he heard Song Boxian's question, he replied: "As the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, all your wishes come true."
"What a mess you are," Song Boxian frowned: "In today's world, do you still think that fighting is the cold weapon age of hundreds of years ago? It has long been outdated."
Lou Zaixing pointed his chopsticks at Song Boxian with a wicked smile: "Don't you know? The situation in Xizhou is very tense now. Isn't that right? Uncle, didn't they tell you?"
"Xizhou?" Song Boxian was curious: "I watched the news last time. So what does the war in Syria have to do with us?"
Lou Zaixing smirked again, but did not continue. Instead, he waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, if you want to be promoted quickly, joining the army is the first priority. We are all related. Joining the army is not a big problem, but the key lies with my uncle. Auntie’s side.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Hey, you are their only son. War is not a picnic. If the opponent's missile is targeted and targeted, your son will be gone, you say."
When Song Boxian heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he was talking to his mother that early in the morning, his mother did not mention the matter of joining the army, but instead asked him to join the literary profession. No wonder.
"Old cousin, the Chinese New Year is coming, let's continue to have fun."
...
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Song Boxian's family was still visiting relatives, but he received a call from Wei Lanxin, asking him to gather in the team urgently.
When he rushed to the place in a hurry, he saw that Zhang Gaozhi, a member of the 100th team, and Wang Jiang, a member of the trial 100th household, whom he had met for the first time, were both in the small flag team.
Xu Jiaying also stood respectfully aside. After Song Boxian entered the door, he awkwardly held his hands towards the two of them: "I have met these two adults in my humble position."
Zhang Gaozhi nodded with a smile. Wang Jiang beside him saw the people gathered and said: "Old Zhou, our Hundred Household Office solved the espionage case at the end of the year. The credit for this belongs to your General Flag Department 1, General Flag Department Those people in Part 2 have already become red-eyed.”
Only then did Song Boxian see the headquarter general Zhou Anmin standing next to Xu Jiaying. He only heard him say: "Master Wang, thank you for the award. Everything was arranged by the superior officer."
Wang Jiang laughed: "Old Zhou, please don't be modest. Xiao Xu knows about this matter. Let's put it this way. Mr. Zhang and I are here today for a case. Among the hundreds of households in our team, Mr. Zhang After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to leave it to your General Flag Department 1 to handle it."
Zhou Anmin raised his hand and said, "My lords, I understand."
Zhang Gaozhi and Wang Jiang exchanged greetings with each other for a long time. After almost twenty minutes, they stood up and left. Song Boxian stood at the end of the crowd and saluted the two.
"Congratulations to you two adults."
After the two left, Zhou Anmin let out a sigh of relief, sat on the main seat, looked at Xu Jiaying and said, "Xiao Xu, do you know why the two adults came to you here?"
Xu Jiaying did not speak. She was very smart and some words were not suitable for her to say.
Zhou Anmin knocked on the table and said after a long time: "I'll leave this case to your team this time."
Xu Jiaying clasped her fists and said, "Sir, there are many people in our flag department, Team 5, who are more capable than us."
Say no more.
Zhou Anmin couldn't hear Xu Jiaying's voiceover, but he shook his head: "There are some things that you can't just do if you say you won't."
After speaking, Zhou Anmin looked at Song Boxian who was standing behind the crowd, then stood up and left with others.
"Master General Banner, walk slowly."
When Zhou Anmin left, Xu Jiaying's face turned cold. She sat on a chair, looked at Song Boxian at the back and said, "Song Boxian, our team is at a loss..."
There was obviously something in his words. Song Boxian was not stupid. Everyone else in the team turned to look over. Seeing this, Wei Xinlan said, "Team Xu, a double-edged sword..."
Song Boxian listened from beginning to end, and when Zhou Anmin glanced at him before leaving, he finally understood why Baihusuo had given the task to his team, and why he came to the team's stronghold in the middle of the night to visit in person. Anmin was called.
Song Boxian raised his hands to the other colleagues in the team: "Everyone, I know that this matter belongs to me, and I will definitely handle this case."
Xu Jiaying took a deep breath, obviously suppressing her anger: "It's not appropriate to call you all here during the Chinese New Year, but Song Boxian is one of our team members after all. Let's do this. This case will be handled by me, Wei Xinlan, and Song Boxian. Handle it, and the rest of you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. If it is really too busy, I will call you."
After Xu Jiaying appeased the others and left, she and Song Boxian and Wei Xinlan were the only ones in the entire office. Then she said, "These people in Xichang are really good at it, but we are controlled by others."
"Captain Xu, what happened?"
Wei Xinlan only knew a little bit, so Xu Jiaying could only tell the story.
"There is an unsolved case in Shangyuan County, Nanzhili Province. This case has not been solved for three years. According to the rules set by the Ministry of Punishment, if a case has not been solved within three years, it must be transferred to the higher-level department for investigation. Joint investigation.”
Song Boxian nodded: "I know, please pass it on to Dali Temple."
Xu Jiaying sneered: "If it can be handed over to Dali Temple, do you think this case will still fall on us?"
Song Baixian looked confused when he heard this.
"Captain, are you talking about the case involving Shangyuan Xie's Mansion?"
Xu Jiaying nodded, looked at Song Boxian and continued: "If my guess is correct, Xichang should be deliberately retaliating against us, so the case was deliberately pushed to our Jinyiwei. Shangyuan is in Nanzhili, so it is our turn to take care of it."
Song Boxian turned to look at Wei Xinlan, and Wei Xinlan said: "Inspector Xichang has a great future. No one can refuse whoever they want to take charge of the case."
"Then why do we need the police?"
Xu Jiaying and Wei Xinlan looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"When Shangyuan Xie Mansion was founded, my ancestor was granted the title of first-class viscount, which was inherited hereditary..."
No wonder.
"If it is a viscount who has no power, we can handle it as long as we, the Imperial Guards, handle it. The key is that the current person who wants to seize the title of the Xie family is Xie Jingdong, the current associate minister of the cabinet."
Song Baoxian also took a breath when he heard this.
Wei Xinlan added: "Last year, Xie Jingdong was just the left senator of the House of Commons, and it is because of this great blessing. No, he should be more grateful to the former chief minister Wang Su. If Wang Su had not resigned en masse with his Yu Party, Xie Jingdong would have been There is no such opportunity;
I remember that Xie Jingdong relied on Zhao Ping, the current chief assistant. "
"So, what exactly is this headless case?"
Facing Song Boxian's inquiry, Xu Jiaying thought for a while, raised her head and motioned to Wei Xinlan to come, while she closed her eyes to rest.
"In the summer of 1965 in Changxing, in July, a headless female corpse was found in a tributary of the Qinhuai River in Shangyuan County." Wei Xinlan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "When the body was found, it looked like a giant. After the forensic autopsy in Shangyuan County, It was found that the corpse had died five days ago and showed signs of sexual assault. A small amount of sperm spots were found in the uterine cavity of the female corpse. After big data comparison, these sperm spots pointed to Xie Jingdong's second son, Xie Wenhui..."
"Since the sperm spots were found in the deceased's body, it's time to arrest him, right?"
Wei Xinlan spat out the circles in her eyes: "If it were that easy, things like this wouldn't happen now."
"Shangyuan Police Station received a report from the Xie family seven days before the deceased was found."
"What?"
Xu Jiaying opened her eyes: "The Xie family reported that Xie Wenhui's wife has been missing for two days."
"Wife murder case?" Song Boxian blurted out.
"Let's put it this way, the police said the same thing, but Xie Wenhui has enough alibi, and according to forensic medicine, the sperm spots can stay in the human body for a week, so the clues about the sperm spots cannot be used as proof. of;
In addition, Xie Wenhui and his wife have a very close relationship. Even the woman’s mother-in-law said that they had never heard of the two quarreling. Moreover, Xie Wenhui was depressed for a period of time because his wife was killed. I heard that, The Xie family just married Xie Wenhui a new wife last month. "
"It's very difficult..." Song Boxian heard this, touched his head, and then looked at Wei Xinlan: "So, Xichang deliberately transferred this case to our Jin Yiwei?"
Xu Jiaying sighed: "If the case designated by Xichang cannot be solved within three months, let alone you, even me, maybe even this little flag officer, will not be able to keep my position."
