Cheng Chuan stayed in the hospital to take care of his father.
Yang Xiao took Tong Ran and Mao Anping out of the ward.
"I'll make a call. You guys wait for me in the car." Yang Xiao walked out of the hospital and walked aside with his cell phone.
Mao Anping finally couldn't help it and asked Tong Ran:
"Tong Ran, what is the case?
Don't be so pretentious, you're suffocating me to death! "
"Do you know who is in the ward?" Tong Ran pulled Mao Anping into the police car and said:
"He is the instructor's father.
He was injured a few years ago and thought it was an accident.
Now there are new clues, it is possible that he was murdered!
I encountered a case on my first day of reporting.
We are lucky, let's study hard with Yang Da! "
Yang Xiao, who was standing near the police car, dialed Mo Lin's phone number.
"You kid is finally willing to call me!" Mo Lin's reproachful words were full of endearment. Before Yang Xiao could speak, he praised:
“Performing well in Hong County.
Several cases were handled solidly and did not embarrass me.
The Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department wanted to transfer you back to Chengdu, but your father and I refused.
Boy, you are still young and you need to keep your composure while training at the grassroots level.
By the way, did your godmother call you today? "
"Yes!" After listening to Mo Lin's ramble, Yang Xiao finally had the chance to speak and said:
“My godmother asked me to go back to the mountain city to accompany her during the National Day.
I haven’t told my family about this yet…”
"What's there to say?" Mo Lin interrupted Yang Xiao and said:
"Your parents are with Xiao Ning. I don't have time to go back during the National Day, and Xiao Yu is not at home. You, my godson, go back to accompany your godmother. What's the problem!"
This matter is settled, I will tell your parents. "
Mo Lin made the decision for Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was very suspicious of Mo Lin's motives. It was probably because he couldn't go back, so he asked Yang Xiao to go back to the mountain city to accompany Zhang Fengyi to avoid being complained by Zhang Fengyi.
It's not easy for a couple to live in different places for several years.
Yang Xiao glanced at the time and saw that it was soon the rush hour of get off work in Chengdu. He quickly got to the point and said:
"Dad, I'm working in Chengdu now.
I have something to trouble you about. The Hong County Justice Bureau...well, the former Hong Town Justice Bureau has a retired cadre named Zhou Xiaoping.
I have a case and I need to find out more about him. Can you help me find his residential address in Chengdu? "
Mo Lin didn't ask any more questions and replied:
"Hongzhen Judicial Office, Zhou Xiaoping?
I'll give you a call when I find out. "
Yang Xiao hung up the phone and walked towards the police. Not long after he sat down, Mo Lin called and told Yang Xiao an address.
Yang Xiao said to Tong Ran who was sitting in the driver's seat:
"Are you familiar with Chengdu?
Go to Times Sunshine Garden Community in Yifeng District.
I can't find anyone to drive. "
"I'm OK!"
Tong Ran answered confidently, started the police car and quickly drove out of the hospital parking lot.
She seems to be very familiar with Chengdu.
I didn’t ask for directions along the way, and it only took me 20 minutes to park the car at the gate of Times Sunshine Garden.
This community is a newly developed property.
Located in a prime location in the heart of the city.
Yang Xiao walked into the community based on the address provided by Mo Lin and found Room 302 in Building 18.
The lights in the house are on.
Yang Xiao knocked on the door twice, and an old lady in her sixties opened the door. She was a little surprised to see three policemen standing at the door and asked:
"Comrade police, what can I do to you?"
Yang Xiao glanced into the room and said:
"Is this the home of Section Chief Zhou Xiaoping?
We are criminal policemen from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Hongxian Public Security Bureau, and we want to find out more about him. "
"Yes Yes!"
When the old lady heard that Yang Xiao and the others were from Hong County, she seemed very enthusiastic. She led the three of them into the room and shouted into the room:
"Old Zhou! Comrades from the Hong County Public Security Bureau are looking for you to find out more about the situation. Come out quickly."
Zhou Xiaoping came out of the room, holding his little grandson in his arms.
Yang Xiao turned back and glanced at Tong Ran and Mao Anping. The two of them were quite smart and immediately looked at the situation of Zhou Xiaoping's family calmly.
This is a four-bedroom apartment.
The area is more than 180 square meters.
It's a newly renovated house.
It seems that Zhou Xiaoping's family's financial conditions are very good.
There are only Zhou Xiaoping and his wife and their grandson at home.
However, the shoe rack at the door contained young women's high heels and large leather shoes that had been polished until they were shiny.
It can be judged that they live with their son and daughter-in-law.
Now the two young men may not be off work.
Zhou Xiaoping warmly greeted Yang Xiao to sit down.
Tong Ran and Mao Anping sat next to Yang Xiao. They shook their heads at Yang Xiao, saying that they didn't find anything unusual.
Zhou Xiaoping is an ordinary retired cadre.
The couple came to Rongcheng to take care of their grandson.
Zhou Xiaoping's wife enthusiastically made tea for the three guests.
Zhou Xiaoping was very happy with the arrival of Yang Xiao and the others.
Since he retired, no guests from Hong County have visited his home for a long time.
Zhou Xiaoping handed the child to his wife and asked:
"Comrade, what case do you want to know about?
I have been in the judicial system all my life and have been exposed to too many cases.
I'm old, I don't know if I can help you. "
Yang Xiao was about to speak, and Mao Anping took out a leather-bound notebook and pen from his pocket, trying to record the conversation between Yang Xiao and Zhou Xiaoping.
This guy's pockets are quite big!
I actually carry such a big notebook with me all the time!
Tong Ran and Mao Anping are classmates.
After graduation, the two were assigned to the Hong County Criminal Investigation Brigade together.
Both teammates and competitors.
The two of them are secretly competing to stay in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
Tong Ran defeated Mao Anping in a game.
This time Mao Anping was more careful than Tong Ran.
It was a win back.
Tong Ran rolled her eyes at Mao Anping unconvinced and focused on the conversation between Yang Xiao and Zhou Xiaoping.
Yang Xiao acted very casually, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, and asked:
"Chief Zhou, do you remember Cheng Liyan?"
"Xiao Cheng!" Zhou Xiaoping was the chief of the Public Legal Services Section of the Hongzhen Justice Office before he retired. He was a few years older than Cheng Chuan's father. The two worked in the same office and were very familiar with Cheng Liyan. He nodded and said regretfully:
"Of course I remember!
Xiao Cheng is the business backbone of our department.
I didn't expect something like that to happen, it's such a pity.
Are you here to learn about Xiao Cheng?
Oops, it’s been five or six years, why did you remember to check again? "
"We have some new information." Yang Xiao put down the teacup and asked:
"Chief Zhou, what happened at that time?"
"Ouch!" Zhou Xiaoping tried hard to remember, and then said:
"I think it was the end of 1996.
Xiao Cheng went to the countryside for a visit and didn't come back all day and night.
There were no mobile phones at that time.
Xiao Cheng's lover found the town, and the people in the office realized that someone was missing. They quickly called several villages. Finally, they learned from Yuzui Village that before Xiao Cheng left the office, he had contacted the village committee and said he would arrive in the afternoon. The villagers wanted to know something about the situation, but they didn't come after waiting for a whole day.
Only then did the town realize that something might have happened! "
Zhou Xiaoping was deeply impressed by what happened six years ago, and told Yang Xiao vividly:
“It’s weird those days, our Hong County actually had rain, sleet, and snow for several days in a row.
The town immediately organized people to search for Xiao Cheng's whereabouts.
Finally, he was found under a cliff less than three kilometers away from Yuzui Village. "
