Of course, there is no doubt that Chen Ming's final result was the death penalty. After all, he had three lives in his hands.
This case is officially over from now on, and Chen Ming has received the punishment he deserves. The calmness he showed when he surrendered must have already expected this outcome when he started committing the crime. .
When I heard this result, the air around me seemed to lighten up.
"Thank you, Officer Zhang." Outside the court were Yu Lixin's mother and Fang Yin's sister. Both of them looked much more haggard than when they first met. Yu Lixin's mother seemed to have aged more than ten years instantly, while Fang Yin's sister also had a few more wrinkles on her face.
In fact, Fang Yin was considered the most innocent person in this case. The conflict between the two men involved her, causing his death to be in vain. But then again, whose death was not innocent, the loss of a life, after all, It would be a pity.
The result of the current case can be considered as a good explanation for their relatives, which is what each of us hopes.
Seeing Yu Lixin's mother and Fang Yin's sister leaving, I was truly relieved of all my burdens.
The end of the case means that my "experience card" in the criminal police team has officially ended. As a non-staff member, it is time for me to be "sent" back to my original unit.
"Lao Wang, it's an honor to be your colleague this month." I said.
"Hey, you're so polite even before you leave???" Wang Zhiyi teased as usual.
"We don't know each other well, so you have to be polite when you should be polite." I replied.
"Team Zhang, I have indeed learned a lot this month. I would like to thank you very much when I have the time." I turned to Zhang Kai and said.
"You should thank your master. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have this opportunity to study. It's been evident in this month. You are indeed your master's good apprentice. Work hard. We can meet again." At this time. At this moment, half of me hopes that what he said will come true in the end, and half of me hopes that I will never come to work in this "ghost place" again. After all, I don't have as big a vision for solving the "murder case" as before.
After that, I formally said goodbye to them, and I drove back to my hometown.
Now that my task has been completed, the one thing I want to do most at this moment is to go to Lao Jiang’s place to eat my favorite steamed buns! !
On the way back, I looked at the streets I often pass by when I go to work, and the sounds of uncles and aunts playing mahjong. This sense of familiarity made me feel particularly close.
I have to say this is a feeling of peace of mind.
"Lao Jiang!! Lao Jiang!!"
Still at the door, I shouted loudly into the bun shop. Lao Jiang also heard my voice and came out of the kitchen.
"Crazy, crazy, are you sick? Who! Who is it! Who is calling LZ!"
"Lao Jiang, it's me. I haven't seen you for just a few days and you forgot my voice. Are you pretending not to know me anymore?" I asked deliberately, with a hint of death-seeking in my tone.
"You are sick. Come back when you have finished the matter. What's your name? Besides, this is not the time to eat steamed buns, so you - are - are - not - are - sick!!!!" Lao Jiang is still the same. This temper.
"Lao Jiang, I just came back after finishing my work. How could someone like me, who loves work so much, miss work and come here to eat steamed buns?" I said confidently and a little arrogantly.
"Then why don't you just come in and start screaming at the door?"
"Didn't I miss you?" I shouted loudly after Lao Jiang. Fortunately, no one was in the bun shop at the time, otherwise I would have lost my life. As a grown man, you still have to save some face.
After Lao Jiang scolded me, he returned to the kitchen without looking back. Nothing here had changed much. It was not much different from when I came not long ago, except that some tables had changed positions. Looking at Lao Jiang who was making steamed buns in the kitchen in a hurry, and the people coming and going outside the steamed bun shop, I couldn't help but sigh again. Although my previous life was a bit boring, this kind of peaceful life is the best way to live it. comfortable.
Just as I was sitting on the chair thinking about life, Lao Jiang came out of the kitchen and served my favorite steamed buns.
"Eat quickly. Look at how much weight I have lost in a month. I wonder if those people in the criminal police team don't feed people."
Lao Jiang's "favor" for me remains the same.
"Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, you love me the most." I said coquettishly.
"After eating, get out of here."
Lao Jiang can never listen to disgusting words. He is exactly the same as my master. He is also talkative and talkative, but his hands are full of caring gestures.
After eating the steamed buns, I also packed a portion for my master.
When I returned to my hometown, there was no dust at all on my workstation.
"Hey, thank you, Sister Zhao, for wiping the ashes on my desk." I said to the colleague next to me.
"How could I wipe the ashes for you? It was Liu Suo who wiped the ashes for you. After all, he still cares most about you as his apprentice." Sister Zhao said standing next to me holding his thermos cup filled with wolfberries.
"Oh, Sister Zhao, it's not because I am the apprentice and he is the master. That's why he loves me so much." I responded.
I tidied up my desk first, and then went to my master Liu’s office to report my work.
Old Man Liu didn't know what he was busy with before I entered, but he looked like he had endless work on his hands outside the door.
Standing outside the office door I straightened my outfit.
"Master." I still can't get rid of this habit of standing outside the door and shouting instead of knocking.
"You're back, have you finished the case?" Old Man Liu asked.
"It's all done, I'm going to come back and bother you again." I said with some self-knowledge.
It had only been almost a month since I last saw him. The man standing in front of me seemed to be much younger than before I left. I could see many wrinkles on his face before, but now there are many fewer wrinkles.
"Old man, it's been less than a month since I left. Why did you secretly go for a beauty treatment behind my back? I'm much younger."
"Shut up, I think I've really spoiled you by letting you go out this month, and you won't be able to let out any good farts."
This man became visibly irritable.
Fortunately, I took it easy and didn't say anything.
"Have you eaten when you come back?" Old Man Liu said to me sitting in front of him. See, I said this man's love for me is still very deep.
"Have eaten, master." I answered him.
"How do you feel after the case is solved?" Liu Tou suddenly asked seriously, and picked up the cup filled with tea leaves in front of him and took a sip.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer him. Should I tell him about the uneasiness and guilt I felt in the past month, or just tell him that I had gained a lot this month.
I was silent for a moment, and followed Old Man Liu's example, picking up the tea that he had already brewed and placed in front of me. Compared with the tea leaves in his cup, there were very few tea leaves in my cup.
"I~~~" At this moment, I still didn't know how to answer my master's question.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Old Man Liu asked.
"It's not the master, it's just that I don't know where to start at the moment, because the experience of this nearly month is unprecedented in my long working life."
"How to say?"
"I've seen life and death this month. I don't understand why some people can put other people's lives aside just because of impulse. His own life is life, isn't the life of others not life?" I asked.
In fact, no one can answer this question. Every person who commits a crime does not know why he made this choice at the moment of committing the crime, just like we do not understand why they committed the crime. Momentary impulses are controlled by the subconscious self.
"Yaozu, I can't give you an answer to what you said. After all, I didn't understand this question until I stepped back to the second line. Why do people always do irreparable things because of impulse."
It was the first time I saw Old Liu Tou speak so earnestly.
"Do you know why Lao Jiang suddenly resigned from this business?"
This matter has never been clear to me since I came to the police station, because Liu Tou has always told me to ask Lao Jiang if there are any cases that I think have problems. Lao Jiang has much more experience than him over the years. So in the past few years of work, whenever I saw a case that I didn’t understand in books or on the news, I would ask Lao Jiang. I would stay in Lao Jiang’s bun shop for a long time after get off work.
My master, Old Man Liu, would also spend most of his time at Lao Jiang's place.
Liutou and I are considered the "nail households" of Baozi Shop.
"Master, I have wanted to ask you many times, why do you ask me to ask Lao Jiang when I encounter a case that I don't understand? Shouldn't you have more experience than him?"
"Now that we've said it all, let me tell you why Lao Jiang has more experience than me even though he has not worked as long as me."
I looked at the old man in front of me, and the firm look in his eyes made me realize that what he was going to say next was a "big secret."
"I remember that was five years ago, when you didn't know where you were."
"It was another late night. Lao Jiang and I were on duty at the police force. We both thought that there would be no special circumstances that day. Just when we were about to take a nap, we suddenly received a phone call. The head was that of a woman, and you could tell from her voice that something serious must have happened, because her whole voice was trembling."
"My daughter~my daughter~my daughter committed suicide! Come quickly!" the woman on the other end of the phone said with a trembling voice. This call was answered by Liu Tou. But he also heard that the voice sounded like Lao Jiang's wife.
At this moment, Liu Tou didn't know how much he thought he had heard wrongly, but Lao Jiang and him had been friends for more than ten years, and the two families often ate together, so they were very familiar with each other's family members.
So at that moment Liu Tou hesitated, hoping that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Lao Jiang, I just received a call." Lao Jiang, who was already drowsy at the other end, suddenly cheered up.
"But you have to calm down first after listening to what I said." At this time, Lao Jiang seemed to have realized something, and he just nodded without saying anything.
"The other end of the phone said someone committed suicide, but the voice sounded like, Wu Xia, the address provided by the other party is also your home. After hearing this, Lao Jiang was stunned on the spot, and all parts of his body were no longer in control.
"No~no~This is impossible, Old Liu. How could something happen if my wife is staying at home? Don't be kidding. Old Liu, if she were my wife, why didn't he call me instead of calling the police station directly? Do you think so? ." Lao Jiang paced back and forth, picking up the water glass and then putting it down. Because he also knew that Liu Tou would not lie to him, and the address provided by the other party could not be a coincidence.
"Why don't you go, I'll go with them, and I'll call you if anything happens," Liu Tou said.
"No, I have to go. I have to go and see if it's really the two of them. Only then will I feel at ease."
"Okay! Let's leave now!" Liu Tou and Lao Jiang led people to the address provided by the person who reported the crime. This familiar building is Lao Jiang's house, and there are many people outside the building at this time.
At this point, Lao Jiang and Liu Tou still couldn't believe that everything was true.
