Live with the forensic chief

Lin Pu curled his lips and wanted to withdraw his hand.

Shu Meng held him tightly and did not let go.

"Isn't it strange to be dragged in?" Lin Pu said, "What should I do if I meet an acquaintance?"

"Say I'm your bodyguard." Shu Meng said with a smile.

"...It's even more strange to chat with bodyguards." Lin Pu said dissatisfied.

Shu Meng began to immerse himself in the script completely, and said to him: "...please, master."

"..." Lin Pu rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, because of Shu Meng, he felt a lot more relaxed. When he walked to the entrance of the village, looking at the well-repaired street signs, Lin Pu murmured: "The house over there should have been burned down. If you really want to look for it, We are going to find the house of the mother-in-law who shut us down, and her house was later turned into a warehouse."

"Did they let you in?" Shumen said. "Do they recognize you now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two swaying old men at the entrance of the village glanced at them.

Lin Pu remembered who he was, and although he was a little embarrassed, he still nodded to him and said hello.

The uncle really didn't recognize Lin Pu, he glanced at him several times anyway, his eyes were strange.After Lin Pu greeted him, he ignored him and walked in.

"Have you changed a lot from before? I feel that everyone can't recognize you." Shu Meng thought about it carefully, "Actually...the temperament is not the same, thin and small...not as tall as now , what else?"

"You didn't recognize me when you saw me." Lin Pu said.

"That's right... I have repeatedly confirmed your name. After all, 'Pu' is not a very common name." Shu Meng said.

"So it's normal that the senior didn't like me before." Lin Pu teased him with squinting eyes, "After all, I'm thin and ugly."

"Who said that the eyeballs will be dug out by him." Shu Meng leaned into his ear, "And you little bastard, didn't you pretend to be at the time? You didn't succeed when you pretended to be pure and hooked me, the truth is It proves that I don’t seem to like this one very much, I mainly like you.”

Lin Pu was dizzy by his sweet talk, and he shook off him and said, "Hurry up."

"Slow down." Shu Meng put his hands in his pockets, "Let me take a closer look at the place where you lived when you were young."

Shu Meng seldom talked about his family, but according to his previous description, his parents are both chief physicians of a tertiary hospital, and they can raise two children. The family conditions must be very good.

"You have never lived in the countryside since you were young." Lin Pu said.

"To be honest, no." Shu Meng said, "Except for the university's assistance to the countryside, I have basically never been here."

"Although many memories are bitter, life as a child is quite interesting." Lin Pu said.

Now the mountains, rivers and fields here are lush and rich, Shu Meng looked around and could still see two brothers and sisters standing at the top of the field and playing.

He narrowed his eyes and turned to the tall and handsome boy beside him.

As he walked, Lin Pu slowed down.

"The former village committee." Lin Pu pointed to a small building that looked very dilapidated. "Now it is under the management of the district after it is divided into districts. It should be abandoned."

Shu Meng could see the faintly washed light red writing on it, and asked, "Who are you going to find now?"

"Uncle Policeman." Lin Pu said lightly.

They continued to walk forward, Lin Pu said: "There is a small police station at the very end."

Shu Meng asked: "Can the police station here take care of this matter?"

Lin Pu sighed: "Whether we care about it or not, we have to ask them to help us find the evidence that we can find now. We are still headless chickens now, so we can only work a little harder."

Shu Meng made sense after thinking about it, so he followed Lin Pu over.

Shu Meng originally thought that the "small police station" Lin Pu mentioned was just a relatively small police station compared with their ordinary police stations, but the rudimentary level after he actually entered it made him speechless.It's okay that there is no waiting hall of the usual police station here, and there is no glass separating the office from the outside area. There is only an old-fashioned long wooden table in front of him, and two policemen are sitting behind the table. He looks quite young. Seeing Lin Pu and Shu When I was in Meng, maybe because the temperament and dress of the two of them didn't look like local people, I asked: "Who are you looking for? What are you doing?"

"Hello." Lin Pu glanced at his badge on the table, "Officer Fu, right? We have something to tell you."

……

What Lin Pu thought was that he didn't expect the local police officer to know anything, but at least he could confirm the other party's attitude.What he didn't expect was that the attitude of this officer named Fu Mei made him strange and surprised.

"You mean the open space in the south?" Fu Mei glanced at the police officer next to him.

The police officer next to him said: "That area has been empty for a long time. It was empty when we came. What is it? What are you going to report?"

"I know." Fu Mei thought for a while and said, "You two come out with me."

Fu Mei led the two of them into the open space outside the police station, where there was only a bicycle parked alone.The sun outside was warm, so Lin Pu talked about himself in a brief way, and Fu Mei looked at them after listening: "I have never heard of what you are talking about before, but... I have something to say to you Said, I also want to ask you something, it’s inconvenient to have other police officers in there just now, otherwise, it’s lunch break anyway, you haven’t eaten yet, right?”

Lin Pu was stunned for a moment, and then exchanged a glance with Shu Meng, wondering why the topic changed so quickly.

Fu Mei ignored them, and took a key from his body, then raised his chin at them, and walked to the side of the bicycle.

"Are you hungry?" Fu Mei patted her bicycle, "How about eating first?"

"...It's okay." Lin Pu said.

"Let's go, come to my house to have a meal and chat." Fu Mei said, "It's still inconvenient to talk in the bureau."

"Also." Fu Mei said, "I know where the old house you mentioned is, and I will take you to see it later."

"Is it my mother-in-law's house?" Lin Pu asked.

"No." Fu Mei said, "It's the building you said was burned, the open space, the road ahead is blocked, I guess you can't find it yourself."

The police officer who had just met for 5 minutes invited the two of them to his home for dinner, Lin Pu was extremely vigilant.

Fu Mei's home was in a small building in the village. He pedaled his bicycle back slowly, seeing no one was around in the alley, and then let Lin Pu and Shu Meng enter the house.Shu Meng might not understand or didn't have this action at all, but Lin Pu took this action completely into his eyes.

This police officer Fu is well aware of the rapid spread of information from the village to the village here. Since the two of them entered the village, every move has been closely watched. There is trouble with being gossiped.

While thinking about it, Lin Pu subconsciously glanced at him before walking into the door of Fu Mei's house.

There was a table in the courtyard of the house, and his wife was sitting on a small bench eating with a half-old child in her arms. Seeing Fu Mei coming back on a bicycle, followed by two people, she stood up a little dazedly.

"Add two pairs of chopsticks." Fu Mei ordered.

"Hey." Fu Mei's wife hurriedly stood up with the child in her arms. Seeing this, Lin Pu said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we can just sit down for a while."

"Sit down, it's okay." Fu Mei said, "Leave her alone."

Lin Pu couldn't refuse, so he had to sit on the chair next to him.

"I don't know if someone came, and they didn't prepare any dishes." Fu Mei's wife brought them a bowl and brought out two more dishes. "I'll make some more if you want to eat anything else."

"Not busy, not busy." Lin Pu and Shu Meng hurriedly said, "We were full when we came, so sit down and eat, sister-in-law."

Fu Mei didn't exchange pleasantries with them. He took two bites of rice with his chopsticks and said, "My wife and I have been in this village for two years. How should I say it?" He paused for a moment with his chopsticks and looked at Lin Pu, " I feel like I've been waiting for you."

"..." Lin Pu held up his chopsticks, "Me?"

"Well, after I came here, I felt very strange about some things in this village. For example, the house you mentioned has been burned. Most people avoid talking about the open space. Vague."

"But don't the traces of the fire and the deliberately blocked roads all point to what happened there? Since everyone has lived here for generations, why do they even cover up such a big thing? This makes me It's very strange. I'm a very grumpy person, since I've been assigned to govern this village area, I must clarify things that are unclear."

Fu Mei said, looking straight at the table.

"You guys reminded me, because the previous file was incomplete, I called the previous master and told me that the situation in this village is complicated. If someone comes to review the previous unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, let us not overdo it." Participate. Because both the archives and many case files have expired and there is no way to retrieve them. I asked at the time whether it might be intentional. He said that after this place is classified as a district or county, the district government will take over. We focus on law and order. It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not."

After listening to these words, Lin Pu felt that they were all expected: "So, if there is something not recorded in the file, how likely is it to reopen the investigation?"

"The key point is how much evidence is there now." Fu Mei said, "The reason why I first saw you and believed what you said was that no one would casually say such irresponsible things to the police. .And I can finally smooth out the knot in my heart that has been suppressed."

Fu Mei lowered her head and ate a few more mouthfuls as she spoke, then laughed: "To be honest, it's pretty cool."

Lin Pu may not have imagined that the first policeman he met after arriving in the village could cooperate with them and trust them so much, and also had a very deep understanding of the case.

In short, in this case that happened eight years ago, they and the policeman are like two forces that are constantly seeking the truth.

When I looked at Fu Mei before, I felt that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was in his 30s, but he looked like a righteous policeman, and he also had an indescribable simplicity.

Up to now, it is difficult for him to describe how he feels about him, but he always feels that the other party's positive attitude and the phrase "I believe in you" make him feel warm all over.He and Shumeng must have a vague feeling in their hearts now that at least he is not someone who stands against them.

"Officer Fu." Shumeng said, "I can understand that...can you help us?"

"It's not a question of whether to help or not." Fu Mei put the bowl down and said roughly, "It's a question of my responsibilities. I'm a policeman."

He looked at Lin Pu and said, "Lin... Lin Pu, right?"

"Ah."

"Tell me again, the people you know who are involved in it." Fu Mei said, "Let's talk about it and see where we can start."
