Back to 1990. Criminal Investigation

In the afterglow of the evening glow, the smoke from the kitchen is curling up, and the smell of food overflows from the windows and pavilions, drifting into the alleys, and passing by the gates of houses, Ding Chong sniffed the air and said, "This house is cooking fish."

"This braised potatoes."

"This is stewed beans."

"......"

Leng Jiucheng frowned, "Are you a dog?"

Ding Chong rolled his eyes, "They are all home-cooked dishes, can't you smell them?"

Leng Jiucheng: "..."

After getting in the car, Leng Jiucheng drove to a restaurant in the city center and stopped.

When Ding Chong saw the most expensive restaurant in Jingchuan City, he slowed down his seat belt removal, what does it mean to be cold?Please eat?Why invite me to dinner for no reason?

Leng Jiucheng felt that Ding Chong was slow, so he possessed himself to undo the buckle, got up slightly and said, "How slow is it to unfasten the seat belt? Are you in your late teens?"

Being close, Ding Chong subconsciously tensed his back and leaned back, looked out of the window, and said unnaturally: "You...get up first...."

Leng Jiucheng didn't understand why, when he saw Ding Chong's reddened ears react, he got up and looked at the boy with a sudden smile, Ding Chong was actually shy, which was completely different from the person he remembered.

Ding Chong felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, he raised his voice and shouted: "What are you laughing at?"

Leng Jiucheng restrained his smile, "Why are all men shy?"

Ding Chong straightened his waist, but his tone was not as tough as his waist, "Men... keep your distance too."

Leng Jiucheng moved towards the car door, "Gu Baobao, please get out of the car for dinner."

Ding Chong: "..."

Thinking back to telling Leng Jiucheng that he was still a child, and hearing the sound of baby again, his ears became redder, angry and ashamed, so he just hoped that Leng Jiucheng would be kinder to him, but he didn't expect Leng Jiucheng to catch this There is no end to the quarrel, who will get revenge?He thought wildly and didn't get out of the car for a long time.

Leng Jiucheng opened the car door, leaned against the car door, put his elbow on the edge of the car door, and looked at Ding Chong with a half-smile, "Do you need someone to carry you down?"

Ding Chong: "..."

When he entered the restaurant and sat down, Ding Chong was in a low mood, drinking tea and ignoring people, until the waiter brought the dishes, fish, braised potatoes, stewed beans, all the dishes that smelled in the alley appeared on the table at this moment. Looking at Leng Jiucheng in surprise, of course Leng Jiucheng wouldn't change his expression because of his gaze, so he simply asked, "Why did you invite me to dinner?"

Leng Jiucheng lowered his eyelids, picked up his chopsticks, "I'm hungry after being told by you, let's eat casually."

It turned out that he was not invited, which meant that Leng Jiucheng had no other moths, so Ding Chong felt relieved and settled down for dinner.

Leng Jiucheng took the vegetables and said nonchalantly, "What do you think of Fang Yuanyuan?"

"Very good." Ding Chong paused for a while, "If I have to mention some shortcomings, it is that she is not so flexible. Although she studies very hard, her grades are very average, and her classmates will make fun of her."

"I didn't ask Fang Yuanyuan's usual performance, I asked how do you feel about her?"

Ding Chong looked at Leng Jiucheng suspiciously, "That's pretty good, she often helps me."

Leng Jiucheng put down his chopsticks and said helplessly, "I'm talking about the emotional aspect. In short, do you like her?"

Ding Chong was startled, got up and touched Leng Jiucheng's forehead, "Officer Leng, are you okay? Why do I like her?"

Leng Jiucheng: "..."

In the previous life, there were many Yingying and Yanyan around Ding Chong. I thought that Ding Chong had already become a veteran in the field of love at the age when other people started to fall in love. Looking at Ding Chong's reaction now, he should not even be in love. He didn't give up. He asked again: "You Now I'm at the age when I love Dou's first love, there's no shame in liking girls."

Ding Chong stared at the dishes on the plate, and said firmly: "Before I am admitted to Tsinghua University, I will not fall in love. There are many more meaningful things in the world waiting for me to do than love."

Everyone has a different definition of the word meaningful. What does Ding Chong mean by meaningful things?Leng Jiucheng thought in his heart, but continued to talk about Fang Yuanyuan's question: "Then do you know that she likes you?"

Ding Chong nodded, "Do you think Liang Cheng hates me because of this matter? It is possible, but there is no need to frame me for this matter? Even if you want to frame me, you must kill yourself? It's not a deep hatred, Assuming all these questions are true, why is there no fingerprint of Liang Cheng on the hammer?"

Leng Jiucheng thought about these questions before, but they were overturned because they didn't fit the situation on the spot. Right now, he can't answer these inferences, "Apart from Fang Yuanyuan, who else likes you? Chased you?"

What does this have to do with the case?Ding Chong didn't know the situation, so he had to answer truthfully, "There are quite a few, and you don't even know them."

Leng Jiucheng took out his notebook, "Name and class."

"Chen Ling, not at school, Zhang Chun, not at school..."

Leng Jiucheng paused with his pen, "How many social idlers have you befriended?"

Ding Chong sighed, "So they...are also students, and they all dropped out of school not long after confessing their love. I felt guilty about it for a while. Once I met one of the girls by chance, and I found out that they dropped out of school after asking. It's all because of Chen Ling.... Chen Ling doesn't allow girls in school to approach me. As long as she hears the news, she will find Li Jingwei and Zhang Chengbin to make things difficult for others. I was very angry when I found out and had a fight with Chen Ling. She agreed I won't do something like this again."

Leng Jiucheng remained expressionless, without any surprise or surprise, and said calmly: "How did Chen Ling make things difficult for those girls?"

Ding Chong bowed his head, unwilling to speak.

Leng Jiucheng yelled "Ding Chong!" in a deep voice.

Ding Chong raised his head, "Block people into small alleys to beat, scold and humiliate them, or... let Li Jingwei and the others... they didn't really do anything...just scare people... ...at most a kiss..."

As for school violence, Chen Ling really started to run amok when she was a girl. If Li Jingwei and Zhang Chengbin really didn't do anything, why did those girls drop out of school?He must have been deeply hurt before he left the campus. Leng Jiucheng's fingertips holding the pen turned white. Chen Ling didn't tell Ding Chong the truth, or did Ding Chong deliberately cover it up?Leng Jiucheng suddenly lost his appetite, and threw his chopsticks on the table, "How does Chen Ling know about your situation at school?"

Thinking of the mysterious disappearance of those Yingying and Yanyan around Ding Chong in his previous life, Leng Jiucheng couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that Chen Ling was the murderer who killed Fang Yuanyuan?

"Did Chen Ling feel sorry for Fang Yuanyuan?"

Ding Chong bowed his head and whispered, "Before I found out, she and Li Jingwei had frightened Fang Yuanyuan, but Fang Yuanyuan was not afraid. After I found out, she never did such a thing again."

"Chen Ling will also go to Bai Ren's birthday party?"

Ding Chong: "Well, the five of us spend together every year."

Could it be that Fang Yuanyuan was killed on the day of Bai Ren's birthday party?At that time, we must keep an eye on these people, but will Liang Cheng's death have anything to do with Fang Yuanyuan?Why did Fang Yuanyuan hide her relationship with Liang Cheng?

Seeing Leng Jiucheng's serious face, Ding Chong put down the bowl and chopsticks, "What's wrong?"

Leng Jiucheng came back to his senses, "It's okay, let's eat."

As night fell, Leng Jiucheng parked the police car at the police station and walked home with Ding Chong. There were no lights on the road, and the two walked in silence. When they stepped into the alley in front of their house, they could hear women's cries and men's rough Ding Chong paused slightly at the sound of insults, and then ran home, and ran to the door of the house in one breath, the pungent smell of alcohol wafted from the inner room, Zhang Juan lay on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, her hair was a mess , The white clothes are full of shoe prints.

"mom!"

Anger welled up from the bottom of Ding Chong's heart along with this cry.

Zhang Juan looked up at the sound, looked at Ding Chong with red and swollen eyes and shouted: "Ah Chong, run."

Ding Chong shook his head mechanically, as if he couldn't believe it. In just a second or two, before he got out of the shock and anger, the whip came towards him.

Huoguang Shijian Leng Jiucheng strode over and stood in front of Ding Chong.

"Snapped"

A whip mark appeared on Leng Jiucheng's back.

Ding Chong pushed Leng Jiucheng away and punched Ding Jianmin in the face, "Dad, calm down."

Alcohol has already flooded Ding Jianmin's rationality, like an animal wearing human skin, long lost human emotion and morality, he will fight back crazily when he is beaten, regardless of who the other party is.

Before Ding Jianmin made a move, Leng Jiucheng handcuffed him first, imprisoned him beside the bed, and then helped Zhang Juan to go out, "Shall I take you to the police station to report the case?"

Zhang Juan hurriedly pushed Leng Jiucheng away, "You can't report the crime."

Leng Jiucheng: "It's impossible for me to show up every time. What will he do if he doesn't report the crime?"

Ding Chong: "It's already been twice. He didn't beat us less before, right? Mom, call the police and send him in to calm down."

Zhang Juan stepped forward and took Ding Chong's hand, "Ah Chong, he is your father, send him in, you will be stabbed in the back, absolutely not allowed."

Ding Chong: "Mom..."

Zhang Juan interrupted him, "It's my destiny to marry him. I've recognized good and bad in this life, but I can't let someone poke your spine. Ah Chong is your father. Don't go to the police. Mom please gone."

Ding Chong looked up at Leng Jiucheng.

"You want Mom to kneel down for you before you agree?"

Ding Chong quickly helped Zhang Juan who was about to kneel down, "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."

The housework was cold and Jiu Cheng couldn't intervene too much. The cursing in the room gradually became smaller and soon replaced by grunting. He went into the room and took off the handcuffs. He came out and said to Ding Chong's mother and son: "Ding Jianmin is asleep. I'll go back first. You guys should hurry up." sleep."

Zhang Juan stopped him, "Officer Leng, thank you so much."

Leng Jiucheng: "It's all neighbors, you're welcome."

"There is one more thing I would like to trouble you...can you let Ah Chong stay at your house overnight, his father went to bed early today, I'm afraid I'll wake up in the middle of the night and go crazy again."

Leng Jiucheng glanced at Ding Chong and nodded.

Ding Chong: "Mom, you go with me."

"I'm thirsty after drinking, I have to pour water for him by my side, you are obedient and go to Officer Leng's house to stay overnight."

While the mother and son were talking, Leng Jiucheng heard a rustling sound outside the courtyard, turned his head and saw a dark figure at the side door, "Who is there?"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow flashed past the door, and Leng Jiucheng hurriedly chased him out.
