Forensic pursuit

The progress of the investigation was not as difficult as imagined. At lunchtime the next day, Nie Fanxin, who had been staring at the computer for 10 hours, found an important clue.Surveillance records show that at 2044:7 pm on July 2, 1, Peng Zhan and another man wearing a white shirt and sunglasses drove a dark car into Huaxi Street, the only way to Huaxi, at 59:2 At 48:3, Peng Zhan drove away alone. At 12:[-], the man in sunglasses sat in the co-pilot of the pickup truck, turned left and drove out of Huaxi Street.

"Fanxin, wait, turn back." Standing beside Nie Fanxin, Chu Wanning looked carefully, "Pause, zoom in." The picture freezes at the position where the right face of the man in sunglasses can be seen.

"Sister Wan Ning, what's wrong?" Nie Fan asked heartily.

"Cut a few more pictures in the same direction and send them to me." Chu Wanning didn't answer her directly, but bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Tonight..." Nie Fanxin turned her head again, and the people beside her had already left.

***

In an office of several square meters, at the desk, Chu Wanning supported her forehead with one hand, with a serious expression.Two minutes later, she received a screenshot from Nie Fanxin. Compared with the photo attached to the electronic file, there was a black heart-shaped birthmark on the man's right ear down to the distance from the two index fingers on his neck.The location, size, and shape fit perfectly.Remarks in the electronic file: Mark Xia Hao, Chinese, male, registered as an abandoned baby at Binnan Children's Welfare Institute on May 2, 2021, adopted by a couple from the United States on December 5, 28, and was seriously injured and arrested on December 2021, 12. At 11:2049 am on December 12, he died in the Affiliated Hospital of Binnan University due to ineffective rescue.

If Mark Xiahao had contacted Peng Zhan as a core figure six years ago, why did he only make money under Yuchiduan?He was even unknown until Chu Wanning found out that he was involved in drug trafficking in October last year. He thought he was just an ordinary employee.

Chu Wanning pinched the center of her eyebrows, and began to review several important events of the 12 major case.Comparing the timeline, one clue after another is intertwined, one draft paper after another is filled, and finally the pen cap is tightened and the drawer is opened.My own guess, right?Will she be in danger?Struggling and hesitating, Chu Wanning touched a cigarette and lit it, and the smoke was lingering after a while.It wasn't until the third cigarette was extinguished that she made a decision, first obtained Wan Tong's permission, and then dialed Pei Rong's phone number.

"Hey, it's me."

"To make a long story short, I have an appointment with Pei Yuanliang and I'm going out right away."

Chu Wanning subconsciously asked, "What do you ask him to do?"

"Wan Ning, didn't you agree? Start with him."

Chu Wanning returned rationally in an instant, changed her tone, and said solemnly: "Pei Rong, I have a new mission."

"You said."

"Look for an opportunity to contact Zibo and get his hair with follicles."

Pei Rong doesn't need to know the cause and effect, just perform the task, but Chu Wanning still explained to her: "There is a key person whose date of birth is also May 2021, 5."

"June 5?"

"Correct."

Because of the tacit understanding, Pei Rong instantly knew the other party's plan: "I understand."

"Stay safe and stay connected."

Pei Rong didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.

She sent Chu Wanning a wechat message: "Wanning, don't contact me in the future, I will find you if I have anything to do." Then, without waiting for the other party to reply, she immediately deleted the friend.Excellent hackers are necessary personnel for high-end criminal groups. Pei Rong knows that although it is safe now, it may not be so in the future.It was impossible for her to use the police's first-level protection, so she had to be more cautious.

In the Beihang Villa District of Binnan City, the single-family three-story villa next to the park was brightly lit. Pei Rong hadn't come home for four months.She who returned the key to Pei Yuanliang rang the doorbell.

"Xiao Rong is back?" The nanny who opened the door has worked in Pei's family for 20 years and has a good relationship with Pei Rong.

"Well, Aunt Liu." She handed over the gift box in her hand, "The donkey-hide gelatin cake I brought for you, nourishes the blood." Pei Rong knew that the nanny was short of energy and blood, and her hands and feet were cold in winter.

The nanny refused: "What's the cost? My health is much better."

"The medical insurance card has a lot of balance, so I bought it by the way, and Aunt Liu will keep it." Pei Rong put on his slippers and walked into the house with another box.

The nanny accepted it cheerfully, and cared about her: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, where is Lao Pei?"

"Boss Pei is in the study on the second floor."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs first."

Over the years, the nanny often saw the two break up, so she advised her: "Xiaorong, don't quarrel with the boss, it will hurt your peace."

Pei Rong nodded: "I will try my best."

In the study room on the second floor, the door was slightly closed, and dim light came through the crack of the door. Pei Rong knocked on the door: "Uncle Pei."

Waiting for someone to sit on the sofa, Pei Yuanliang put out the cigarette in his hand and got up, the chair made a soft noise, walked to the single sofa opposite her and sat down: "Xiaorong, Zibo disagrees with the matter you mentioned on the phone."

"I also don't agree with him taking risks with himself. As his family, shouldn't we advance and retreat together?"

"We can't win over everyone, just like when the elder brother stepped forward, your Uncle Yuchi and I can persist for these years. Now that Yuchi is arrested, and the first trial next month, it must be more or less ominous." Pei Yuanliang recalled the past, The words were a little fierce.

"Uncle Pei, Chu Wanning trusts me now, even the voice conference at the police station will not be deliberately avoided, maybe..."

Pei Yuanliang sneered: "How is it possible? Chu Wanning is shrewd and knows what to say and what not to say. What's more, she must know the relationship between you and me." After Zibo's advice, the man understood that Pei Rong was close to Chu Wan Ning is no good.

"Then you leave the company's legal affairs to me." Pei Rong must strive to break into the core circle of the group.

"Sure enough, today is different from the past. You used to be unwilling to go to the company's legal department."

Pei Rong twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied sincerely: "Because I couldn't understand the reason why you gave all the benefits to Pei Wen, so I got into a dead end."

"Xiaorong, our family doesn't favor sons over daughters. As for Awen, he is indeed Uncle Pei's own child. It's understandable that I put most of my emotions and energy on him."

"understand."

"But I promise Zibo that you won't be in danger. You should work in the legal department of the hospital first."

"Thank you, Uncle Pei." Anyway, let's go in and talk.

***

In the living room on the fifth floor of the duplex bungalow, the 80-inch LCD TV was playing the legal program, and the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated suddenly.Gu Bei, who was nestled in Nie Zhilan's arms, sat up straight, picked up the phone, and the screen displayed "Pei Rong".

When the phone was connected, she spoke first: "Xiaorong."

"Boss, I just handed in my resignation letter."

Gu Bei couldn't believe it: "Why did you suddenly resign?"

Pei Rong obviously paused before responding: "There is no one at home, we need help."

Gu Bei naturally wouldn't believe it, but he didn't want to say much, so he just asked her: "Have you decided?"

"Yes."

After a few more words of humility and warmth, Gu Bei and Nie Zhilan chatted about Pei Rong after hanging up the phone. Six years ago, the law firm received six interns from Binnan University of Political Science and Law, and only Pei Rong stayed.It's not because of her relationship with Nie Fanxin's best friend, but because the little girl is really strong.Bachelor's degree in investigative science, graduate student in criminal law, with high comprehension and flexible response.At the end of the one-year internship, Gu Bei directly asked the other party to learn from him, and in less than five years he could be on his own.

To be honest, Gu Bei was very reluctant.

At the same time, Nie Fanxin, who was going out to fetch water for Wan Yi, happened to hear their conversation, turned around and approached the sofa, pulled the back of the sofa, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, Pei Xiaorong resigned?"

"After all, blood is thicker than water. Xiaorong's family needs her."

Nie Fanxin heard the words, thought of the recent investigation about Pei Yuanliang, and said indiscriminately: "Need, what do you need?"

Gu Bei, who seized the opportunity, complained: "Others are filial, how about you? Lao Xia was abroad and took care of things a few years ago. There are two hundred employees in Yunbei, and my mother has no daughter to help, Alexander."

Nie Fanxin said softly and coquettishly: "There are still 11 partners." At first, Yunbei belonged to a private law firm, and later gathered a large number of high-quality legal talents with Gu Bei's reputation. In 2035, the law firm will be reformed and developed into an advanced partnership system and democratic management model.So far, it has ranked among the top three in the city for five consecutive years in terms of the scale of law firms in Binnan City and the income generated by business.

So Gu Bei just complained, she really wanted Nie Fanxin to take the exam, and she knew it was a bit embarrassing for her daughter.

Nie Zhilan smoothed things over at the right time, rubbed Gu Bei's shoulders, and changed the topic: "Come out to get water? Where's Xiaoyu?"

"Well, read those books that make me doze off." Nie Fan looked gratefully, picked up the water glass and ran away, "Mom, good night, old Nie."

The door was closed, and Wan Yi, who was half leaning on the bed, put down the book, took the water glass that Nie Fanxin brought to him, and took a sip.

"I'll give Pei Xiaorong a call." Nie Fanxin picked up her phone, lifted the blanket, and sat back beside her.

Wan Yi raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a long story, I'll contact her first." The lingering sound continued, but Pei Rong had already answered.

"Hello." The voice was deep and low, which was quite different from the past.

Nie Fanxin didn't beat around the bush: "Pei Xiaorong, are you sure you want to resign?" The two had known each other for 8 years, and she wanted to give each other a hand.

"Yes, go to the legal department of Tianyouyou Hospital."

"Tianyou Hospital?" Nie Fanxin's brows were squeezed in between, her lips moved slightly, "Why?"

"Pei Yuanliang is my father." Reasonable and sufficient reason.

The hand placed aside was gently wrapped by Wan Yi, as if signaling her not to worry.Nie Fanxin shook her hand gently, and then softened her tone: "Pei Xiaorong, I don't want..."

Pei Rong smiled and interrupted her: "I understand, besides, are you sure there is something wrong with old Pei?"

"Not yet." Nie Fanxin was inconvenient to reveal too much to the other party.

"That's right. It's getting late, you and Forensic Doctor Wan can rest." Pei Rong ended the call with this.

The bedroom fell silent in an instant, Wan Yi turned her body slightly, put her arms around her shoulders, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you have to believe that Lawyer Pei will not know the law and break the law."

Nie Fan was very emotional, and still frowning: "Pei Xiaorong was not like this before. I'm afraid that Pei Yuanliang will affect her future, and it will also affect her relationship with Sister Wan Ning."

"Okay, let's find time to chat with Miss Wan Ning, she should know how to deal with it."

"But..." Wan Yi stuck very close to her, a short distance away, and a gentle kiss landed between her eyebrows without warning, instantly disrupting her thoughts.

"Don't frown." It was printed on the eyelids again.

Under the dim light, Nie Fan searched for Wan Yi's lips, closed her eyes cooperatively, and enjoyed her eagerness.

She thought, emphasizing sex over friends, that's probably the case.

***

Nearing 12 o'clock, the weak street lamps flickered and danced.Beside the garden in the community, a drunk man burped while walking around.Not far away, with a loud bang, he was paralyzed in fright and slowed down for a while before crawling over tremblingly.I saw a person lying flat on the ground with sprawled sprawls, blood stuck to his gray brain, and a deformed face whose original appearance could hardly be discerned.

In less than 15 minutes, the screen of the phone beside the bed lit up, and Nie Fanxin squinted her eyes and pressed the answer button: "Hello, Miss Wan Ning."

"Meng Ziqiao jumped off the building and died on the spot."
