Anecdotes about the Seine

([-]) Promise mackerel

Hearing this, Feng Xinduo felt like thunder: "Brother died? When did it happen?"

"The time of death should have been around three o'clock in the morning last night." Old Qian said sadly, "This morning, the cleaning workers found his body at the pier and reported it to the police. I'm busy with this right now .”

Feng Xinduo knew the dangers of working in City C, but what she didn't expect was that the reality hit her so quickly.She murmured: "Last night, I had dinner with him, but I didn't expect him to be gone now..."

Old Qian's eyes froze suddenly: "You were with him last night?"

Feng Xinduo nodded: "Yes, brother invited me to dinner, and then he left in a hurry."

"What time was it?" Old Qian anxiously asked.

"It should be after eight o'clock in the evening." Feng Xinduo recalled.

Lao Qian grabbed her hand, couldn't help but pulled her and walked out the door, saying as he walked, "In this way, you will be the last to see him, just follow me to report the situation to Director Sun."

Bureau Sun is one of the three deputy directors of the C City General Bureau, in charge of the Criminal Investigation Division and the Organized Crime Investigation Division. Feng Xinduo had already met him when he reported yesterday.She sat on the exquisite sofa in the deputy director's office with Lao Qian, feeling a little cramped.Director Sun is a tall, strong middle-aged man who seems to be younger than Lao Qian, but he is already sitting in the position of deputy director. It seems that he is not an easy person.He squinted his triangular eyes, looked at Feng Xinduo with scrutiny, and asked, "What happened when you were with him yesterday? Tell me one by one without missing anything."

Feng Xinduo started talking at the pick-up station, and continued to talk about going to the food stall for dinner at night.But when asked why Cheng Wei left in a hurry after answering the phone call, she hesitated.The brother's words are still ringing in my ears: "No one knows about the informant except me, please keep it a secret."

Theoretically speaking, this matter is the most critical point in the whole murder case, and she should speak out if it is reasonable or reasonable, so as to help Director Sun and Lao Qian who are in charge of the case solve the case.But for some reason, the senior brother's exhortation was like a needle, making her keenly feel that this case must not be simple.There must be some mysterious connection between the brother's death and the existence of that informant.Since the senior brother asked her to keep it secret, there must be a reason.

Feng Xinduo believed in her intuition, so she concealed the existence of the informant without mentioning a word.

"So you don't know why he left suddenly, and you don't know where he went." Old Qian frowned, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.Bureau Sun remained calm, but gave Feng Xinduo a meaningful look, and said indifferently: "In that case, then you can go about your business. Old Qian, record her testimony."

Just when Feng Xinduo was about to leave the office, Bureau Sun suddenly stopped her: "Since Lao Qian is busy with Cheng Wei's case and has no time to take you with me, I'll find someone else, and you can follow him to do things."

He picked up the phone, pressed a few buttons, and said, "Xiao Zhou? There's a newcomer in the bureau, you can take it with you. That's fine." Putting down the phone, he said to Feng Xinduo: "Go find him, he is in a Waiting for you at the front desk."

The Xiao Zhou mentioned by Bureau Sun is a cadre of the Organized Crime Investigation Section. He is in his early thirties, and it seems that he has also worked in the General Bureau for several years.He was very enthusiastic about Feng Xinduo, affectionately called her "Xiao Feng", and invited her to drink a cup of coffee.Feng Xinduo was a little flattered, so he quickly expressed a positive attitude and asked him what he could do.However, Xiao Zhou just smiled and said: "You just came here, and you can't do much. Go and read the previous files first, and study."

Feng Xinduo couldn't help being disappointed, and she asked a few more questions, including whether there were any new cases recently, and whether she could help investigate the cause of her brother's death, but Xiao Zhou dismissed them lightly.She had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in her heart, walked to the seat that Xiao Zhou arranged for her, flipped through the file honestly, and forced herself to read it quietly.

But these case files are really nothing to look at. Most of them are small cases of robbery and theft, and they are straightforward and clear, without much thinking at all.When she was in the police academy, Feng Xinduo had already read all the cases that could be seen in the library. Of course, these things were pediatrics for her.She couldn't help but couldn't sit still, but Xiao Zhou's eyes shot over from time to time, as if monitoring whether she was studying hard, so she had to bear it and sit patiently.

Finally when it was time to get off work, Feng Xinduo jumped up and was about to leave, but Xiao Zhou came over with a smile and asked her, "Little Junior Sister, can I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Almost without thinking, Feng Xinduo immediately refused: "Ah, that, I have something to do tonight, sorry."

"That's it, that's okay, let's talk about it next time." Xiao Zhou still smiled, but there seemed to be some unusual light hidden in his eyes.

Feng Xinduo changed into casual clothes and walked out of the police station.After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt that something was wrong—someone seemed to be following her.She had practiced the routines of stalking and anti-stalking to perfection as early as in the police academy, so she chuckled lightly and thought to herself, "It's still far away from playing this with my old lady."

She hurriedly turned a few corners, tied up her loose hair again, and when she reappeared on the main road, the people following her were no longer visible.She smiled confidently, and her expression became serious.

That's right, at this time, she will start her real work.

When sitting in the police station watching the case, Feng Xinduo had already silently sorted out the thinking of Cheng Wei's case in his heart.Although the informant came to the senior brother last night to ask for money, he already had information to hand over to him, and according to the senior brother's reaction, this information should be very important.Afterwards, the senior brother left in a hurry, obviously to deal with matters related to this information, so his death must be inseparable from this information.

That being the case, the most important thing at this time is to find the informant.

Although she only met for a few minutes, the appearance of that informant was deeply engraved in her mind.Short dark blonde hair, rose-shaped earrings, big and alert deer-like eyes, thin body, stubborn and stubborn expression and movements, dressed like a street gangster.To find such a person, the only way is to go to the streets, where the people are the most complicated and chaotic.

Sure enough, in a game hall near the food stall last night, Feng Xinduo asked the information she wanted to know.

"You mean 'A Lu'." The proprietress of the game hall was smoking a cigarette, pressing the calculator cracklingly, and looked up at her. "She is the 'know-it-all' on Sifang Street. Who doesn't know you? Go to 48KTV at the end of the street, and you will definitely meet her."

Feng Xinduo thanked him and walked towards the corner of the street. The dazzling lights of the KTV flicker in the distance and are clearly visible.But before she got there, she was bumped into her arms by a man.That person ran over quickly, as if he was running away from someone, he was too busy looking back, but he didn't see the person in front of him, and just happened to bump into her arms.

Before Feng Xinduo could react, the other party had already pushed her away, said "I'm sorry" indiscriminately, and ran forward again.At this moment, Feng Xinduo caught a glimpse of her face - those deer-like eyes were full of fright, but yes, they were those eyes.

Feng Xinduo wanted to hold her back, but it was too late: she had already run away like a deer.Feng Xinduo wanted to catch up, but was almost bumped into by a few people behind - obviously, these people were chasing the person in front, while cursing.

Feng Xinduo quickly followed and ran.After turning a street corner, she found that the fleeing man had reached a dead end and was blocked by the pursuers.

The leader was a middle-aged woman who was tall and rough. She stepped forward, roughly pushed the informant girl, pushed her to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Lu Ting! Is it you who released fake news again? !"

The girl named Lu Ting only saw the person in front of her clearly at this time, and her guarded and fearful expression suddenly relaxed.She got up, patted the ashes on her body, and showed an indifferent expression: "Hey, it's Police Officer Liu. I thought it was Boss Chen who came to collect the debt. It scared me to death."

Feng Xinduo couldn't help being startled, it turned out that these people were plainclothes policemen, and this matter became interesting.She quietly hid behind the tree, holding her breath and watching what happened in front of her.

Another man shouted angrily: "Yesterday, I received a report that someone was selling drugs in the public toilet in the east of the city. The rest of us guarded the toilet all day, but nothing happened, but we got a bad smell!"

Instead, Lu Ting burst into laughter: "I just said it's possible, not sure, who made you guys so stupid?"

Police Officer Liu snorted, "Who doesn't know that you are a know-it-all in Sifang Street, and you earn money from informants. You got the money, but you can't take it for nothing." Her eyes rolled, and her expression became vicious: "We can't run away for nothing. one trip!"

While talking, she strode forward and grabbed Lu Ting's slender wrist, causing him to cry out in pain.Seeing the situation, Police Officer Liu stuffed a bag of white powder into her hand, and said, "You've got all the stolen goods, come with us!"

"Hey, don't frame good people!" Lu Ting's complexion changed, "Be careful, I will report to the prosecution office, ouch!" Before she could finish speaking, Police Officer Liu twisted her hand behind her back, causing her pain I was speechless.

Seeing this, Feng Xinduo knew that he could no longer hide, so he came out and said slowly, "What are you doing?"

Her voice was not loud, but she was very firm. The plain clothes in front of her turned around and saw that it was only a thin girl, so they threatened: "The police are handling the case, don't meddle in your own business."

Feng Xinduo raised her eyebrows: "I can see clearly what you did just now." Seeing the plainclothes face in front of her with a fierce look, she took out her police officer's card, flashed it in front of everyone's eyes, and said: "According to the police According to the regulations, I can directly report your behavior to the superior, and by then, I am afraid that you will have nothing to eat and leave."

Police officer Liu probably wanted to solve Feng Xinduo together, but when he saw her police officer ID, he immediately softened and let go of her hands.She tried her best to squeeze a smile on her fat face, and said: "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's not that serious." As she said that, she waved her hand, called her subordinates together, and left angrily.

Feng Xinduo put away his police officer ID, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Lu Ting's gaze.The latter was grinning and rubbing his wrists, and when he saw her looking over, he nodded and said with a big grin, "Thank you." She smiled so brightly, showing her sharp little canine teeth, which made Feng Xinduo's heart skip a beat.

Seeing Lu Ting turned to leave, Feng Xinduo immediately stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "Wait, I have something to ask you."

Lu Ting turned around, looked at her suspiciously, and then seemed to think of something suddenly: "Ah, I have seen you, you are the girl who had dinner with Cheng Wei yesterday."

Feng Xinduo nodded, before she could continue talking, Lu Ting spoke first, and said indignantly: "What's the matter with Cheng Wei, I can't get in touch at all, and I didn't call when I asked for money, which made me worry about it today. Hiding in Tibet, for fear of being caught by Boss Chen."

Feng Xinduo was taken aback. It turned out that the informant didn't know that her contact person was dead, so he told her exactly what happened.

When Lu Ting learned that Cheng Wei was dead, she frowned, gritted her teeth, and wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak, and finally did not say anything.

Feng Xinduo keenly captured the sadness and fear that flashed across her face, and realized that she must know something, so he grabbed her arm and asked eagerly: "What do you know, right? Senior Brother Cheng Wei What exactly did you die for?"

Lu Ting dodged her eyes, tried hard to break free from her, and said vaguely: "I don't know, I have something to do, I have to go."

Feng Xinduo didn't want to let it go, grabbed her tightly, and said, "If you refuse to tell, I have no choice but to take you to the police station."

"Okay, okay, I said it's okay." When she heard that she was going to the police station, Lu Ting immediately gave up.She shook off Feng Xinduo's hand and muttered, "It hurts." Feng Xinduo waited for her to speak, but she covered her stomach: "I haven't eaten all day, and I'm starving to death, why don't you treat me to dinner first?" Let's eat!"

Feng Xinduo was angry and funny, but he could only patiently say, "Okay, where do you want to eat?"

Lu Ting's eyes lit up: "Ha, I'll take you to a delicious place."

The two walked side by side on the street, passed through several dark alleys, and finally arrived at the shop Lu Ting mentioned.The small storefront looks inconspicuous, and under the dim streetlights, you can barely make out the big characters on the dirty signboard: Wuji Dumplings.Lu Ting seemed to be very familiar with this shop, walked in swaggeringly, sat down at a small table near the corner, and shouted loudly: "Boss, here are two taels of mackerel dumplings!"

Then she seemed to suddenly realize that she didn't come alone this time, so she added: "Well, come here, I brought a friend here today."

Feng Xinduo hesitated and wiped the stained stool with a paper towel on the table, then sat down carefully.

Soon, the dumplings came up.Feng Xinduo found that the mackerel dumplings were quite authentic in terms of shape and weight.While carefully picking one up, she said to Lu Ting, "I thought mackerel dumplings were only found in the northern coast."

While gobbling it down, Lu Ting replied vaguely: "The owner of this shop is from the north, and his craftsmanship is authentic."

Feng Xinduo tasted it, yes, it is indeed the taste of his hometown, quite delicious.

While eating, she asked Lu Ting, "Why did you offend those plainclothes policemen?"

Lu Ting rolled her eyes: "You know, the police station has a reporting hotline, and there is a bonus for providing clues."

Feng Xinduo smiled and said, "So you reported a false case for a little bonus? This is too nonsense."

Lu Ting curled her lips: "A person like you who will never be short of money, how can you know how a penny beats a hero?"

Feng Xinduo was taken aback, and couldn't help asking directly: "Are you short of money?"

Lu Ting didn't look at her, but just stared at the dumplings on the plate, concentrated on working hard, and said pointlessly: "It's none of your business."

Feng Xinduo didn't know how to continue the topic, so he could only focus on eating.She found that Lu Ting ate very fast, but although she was fast, she didn't eat much, so it was done in a while.But at this time there were still more than half of the dumplings left, and Feng Xinduo himself was still eating slowly.

Lu Ting took a toothpick and looked at the person who was eating slowly in front of her, showing an impatient expression.Then she suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and said to Feng Xinduo, "Hurry up and eat, I'll go to the bathroom first."

"Oh." Feng Xinduo agreed unpreparedly, watching Lu Ting walk into the bathroom in the back kitchen.

After 2 minutes, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong.

Feng Xinduo put down his chopsticks and rushed to the bathroom to look. Sure enough, the window next to the sink was wide open, and Lu Ting had long since disappeared.

"It's really good enough." Feng Xinduo laughed back angrily, thinking, this is really an interesting person.

It's just that when she was in the police academy, she was ranked second in tracking technology, and no one dared to be number one.

Feng Xinduo threw a hundred-yuan bill on the counter, shouted: "The boss has paid the bill!" Then he rushed out like the wind.
