Charming Avalokitesvara

Chapter 4

Shao Kuancheng and Chen Zhuan were college classmates. Although the two ended up with completely different lives, they were classmates in the history department during college, and even after graduating from college, the two maintained intermittent contact.

This is why Shao Kuancheng met Shi Lang at Chen Zhuan's funeral.

In Shao Kuancheng's impression, although Chen Zhuan had excellent grades, he was not a bookworm.He is sunny and cheerful, with a gentle personality, and many girls in the school like him.It's just that in his heart, so many girls with different characteristics are not as important as his sister Chen Taohua.

It seems no secret that Chen Zhuan is a sister-in-law, or that the four genetically superior brothers of the Chen family are all sister-in-laws.Compared with them, Sun Ce's degree of sister control is simply childish.

There are also many girls in the school who like Shao Kuancheng, after all he is such a sunny and healthy boy.It's a pity that Shao Kuancheng always rejected the courtship of many girls under the pretext of "having a first love girlfriend whom he never forgets".This kind of refusal did not arouse girls' dislike. On the contrary, when mentioning him, many people always said: "A good man like Shao Kuancheng is now extinct!"

Chen Zhuan's sister-in-law situation improved slightly after Chen Taohua got married. He even started a relationship. His girlfriend was a nurse. Shao Kuancheng saw her at Chen Zhuan's funeral. Taohua called her Yaya .

Yaya cried very sadly at Chen Zhuan's funeral. Maybe she will never meet a special man like Chen Zhuan again in her future life.Chen Zhuan's death will leave a pain in her heart that can never be erased.

Yaya cried and said intermittently: "It is true that Zhuan was not in a good mood some time ago, but he has recovered clearly in the past two days! Why did he commit suicide! Why is he so stupid!"

Shao Kuancheng asked keenly: "You said he was not in good spirits a while ago? What do you mean?"

"He was a little distracted. He said he always had nightmares at night. I asked him what it was, but he didn't say anything." Yaya said: "He comforted me in turn, saying that it might be because of too much pressure in the near future. have a bee in one's bonnet."

Thinking that the thoughtfulness of her deceased boyfriend would never be there again, Yaya began to cry again.

Apart from his first love, Shao Kuancheng had no love experience, and he really didn't know what to say to a heartbroken woman.

Shao Kuancheng stood at the place where Chen Zhuan jumped to his death. The place has been sealed off by the police, and all available evidence has been taken away. There is nothing but the chest-length railing.

If Chen Zhuan was fighting with someone here and was pushed down, he might fall to his death.

But Chen Zhuan was the same height as him, no matter how much he stumbled, it was impossible for him to fall from here.

In addition to what was mentioned in the report of the police who were present at the time, at least hundreds of teachers and students at the scene could prove that Chen Zhuan jumped over the railing by himself and then jumped off.

Shao Kuancheng stood with his hands behind his back. He couldn't figure out the reason why Chen Zhuan committed suicide.

A transport plane slanted across the sky, dragging a long flight trail.

The sky was getting cloudy, and Shao Kuancheng returned to the Cultural Relics Inspection Brigade, just in time to run into Li Jin from the Criminal Investigation Team [-] who was looking for him.

"Xiao Shao, I put the recent suicide cases you want on your desk!"

"Thank you Team Li!"

Shao Kuancheng walked into the office and picked up the thick file bag from his desk.

In recent years, more and more people have committed suicide. It is said that it is caused by the social environment, but in the final analysis, it is due to personal psychological endurance.

Excluding those who had suicide reasons, there were only two people who killed themselves inexplicably, and coincidentally, Shao Kuancheng had heard of both of them.

The first one is Ken. Shao Kuancheng doesn't know what his full name is, but he always sees him on some important occasions, such as antique auctions, rare curios appreciation and so on.

He is Lin Tao's assistant—oh, I forgot to mention, Lin Tao is the most powerful antique dealer in T City.And at the auction not long ago, he was the one who took away the distant Purple Dragon Jade Avalokitesvara.

In fact, Ken is more like being murdered, because he died in an old abandoned house by hanging himself.

If not all the cadaveric evidence and circumstantial evidence showed that he committed suicide, maybe the police would really have treated his death as a murder.

The other deceased was named Jin Qin, who was a habitual thief and only stole rare things. In his own words, he was an elegant thief, but these words were used by everyone to laugh at him.

He can be regarded as a frequent visitor of the cultural relics inspection brigade. The last time he was arrested was two years ago, but this kid was as cunning as a fox, and he actually slipped away.I haven't heard from him for a long time after that.

This kid was hit to death by a car. It doesn't sound like a suicide at first glance, but according to the case report of the year, the kid ran out of the road by himself and was hit to death by an endless stream of vehicles, so the driver was completely There is no fault, Jin Qin is at fault.

These two people are completely different socially and in character. If Chen Zhuan's death is to be compared with theirs, there is no doubt that there will be no evidence.

So for now, the only evidence Shao Kuancheng has that can be investigated is the wooden Guanyin statue left at the scene of Chen Zhuan's suicide.

Many people who know Shao Kuancheng will feel that apart from that face, he is a very ordinary person, even if he is wearing a uniform and walking on the treasure street, even if everyone knows that he is a policeman from the Cultural Relics Inspection Brigade , and no peddler has the slightest fear of him.

In fact, Shao Kuancheng has indeed been such a person since he was a child.When he was in the police academy, he was still good at foreign languages, just passed the mark in shooting, often failed in fighting skills, and his driving skills were always rookie-level, and he never worked as a cadre during school...

But there is only one thing, Shao Kuancheng is naturally keen, that is, he knows how to establish his own information source, for example, now, who knows better than those old and young fritters in Zhenwan Street, who in this circle can have such What about a handicraft that is no less imitated than a more distant hand?

That's right, a wood-carved "Avalokitesvara", the carving technique is delicate and exquisite, as far away as it was back then.

If it wasn't that he came back from afar, then there was a second genius like him in T city.

As for the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Zhenwan Street, these people obviously have a good impression of him and are willing to provide him with some information when necessary.

Shao Kuancheng tucked the helmet on the table under his arm, then picked up the car keys, patted the shoulder of a colleague next to him, and said, "If the captain wants to ask, just say I'm out for a stroll!"

"Where are you going?!" My colleague asked loudly, "It's going to rain soon!"

"It won't fall!" Shao Kuancheng replied as he walked.

This ghostly weather has been cloudy and sunny for several days. Every time Shao Kuancheng woke up thinking that it would rain today, he would see the bright sunshine outside the window in less than two hours, and when he thought the haze had passed , the vision dimmed in the next second.

His second-hand Santana was honorably injured again on the first day due to his horrible driving skills. Shao Kuancheng thought several times that his salary was not enough for him to repair the car.

Shao Kuancheng told himself every time, give up the four-wheeled vehicle!Its compatibility with you is really bad!But his friends and colleagues always said to him: "Brother, you don't want to use your little sheep to drive your girlfriend to and from get off work in the future, do you? It's not romantic at all!"

Shao Kuancheng retorted silently, his car is not a little sheep!In fact, his car is a handsome Haojue Lichi GW2505, and its price is much higher than that second-hand Santana, which always gets in trouble with him and is out of control!

Shao Kuancheng likes its glacier white body, Poseidon blue metallic paint, endless power output, uninterrupted acceleration, excellent dynamic handling, and fascinating engine sound.

But he couldn't refute it, he really couldn't bear to let his girlfriend ride a motorcycle with him in the bitter cold wind.

So he can only force himself to adapt to his car.

Shao Kuancheng stepped onto his Haojue and ran happily to his destination.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Kuancheng became even more certain that he had to adapt to his arrogant Santana!

The rain that had accumulated for many days rolled down and surged along with the thunder in a lightning that pierced the clear sky, leaving Shao Kuancheng with no time to react.

He turned off the car in some embarrassment, parked on the side of the road, and ran into a house to hide from the rain.

The peddlers on Zhenbao Street obviously knew better about current affairs than he did, and they closed their stalls early. The bustling and noisy street looked extremely desolate and quiet at this moment, and even a person in a hurry was not seen on the road. .

No one will come out to pick out treasures in this kind of cloudy weather, and the homes of hawkers are often not far from their stalls.

Shao Kuancheng shook the rain from his hair, feeling like a fool.

The sound of shoes stepping on the water moved from far to near, Shao Kuancheng raised his head, and his vision crashed into a blackness like ink.

Drops of water dripped down his hair and hit his eyes, but this did not prevent him from seeing the other's eyes.

It is shaped like a flat apricot core, and there is a large black pearl hidden in it, and there is a lying silkworm under the apricot core.

A khaki hooded jacket, blue jeans, and a black old-fashioned pointed umbrella in a slender white hand.

The other party looked at him and frowned slightly. His expression seemed to be a little puzzled, but he quickly stretched it out and asked a little tentatively: "Officer Shao?"

Shao Kuancheng nodded subconsciously, and then asked, "Do you recognize me?"

"I always hear the neighbors talking about you." The other party showed him a friendly smile: "I just moved here. My name is Du Huai'an, and I'm the owner of this store."

It was only then that Shao Kuancheng noticed that the eaves where he was sheltering from the rain at this moment were just outside the newly renovated shop a few days ago.

The signboard has been hung up, a name that is widely used but has profound meaning - Tianyi Pavilion.

Water is born in nature, and water benefits all things without competition.

"I'm really sorry." Shao Kuancheng said with a smile: "When we met for the first time, I thought I could leave a better impression."

The other party just glanced at him disapprovingly: "You shouldn't go out in this kind of weather."

As he said that, Du Huai'an put away the umbrella, then opened the door of the shop, looked at him with his head tilted: "In order to build a good relationship with you, I think I should invite you in to shelter from the rain."

Shao Kuancheng grinned and showed his white teeth: "I accept your invitation with ulterior motives."
