Criminal Psychology

Chapter 45 3 Graves

Since he didn't find the third body under the tree, which meant he didn't know about it, his suspicions were naturally cleared up a lot.

It's just that even though he said this, the worry in Lin Chen's heart has not been relieved by half.

Under the banyan tree, the scene of busy work stopped again.

Not only Jiang Chao, who led the team, but every police officer present felt their scalps go numb. Three dead bodies were found under a tree at the same time. What does this mean?

This shows that they are likely to encounter a major criminal case.

Two police officers squatted down and began to assist the forensic doctor to clean up the soil layer covering the third corpse. Jiang Chao ordered the rest of the people to start a carpet search in the woods by the lake. dig.

After assigning the task, he looked at Lin Chen again, rolled his eyes slightly, and then swallowed: "I said Lao Xing, you are not in a hurry to go home today, why don't you stay for two more days?" He pulled Xing Conglian, Passed a cigarette graciously, and then suddenly felt that the old man's complaint just now was really wonderful, otherwise how could he have another chance and ask someone to go back to assist in the investigation?

---

The news of a major case on the campus of Yongchuan University was quickly transmitted back to the police force like wings.

Therefore, when Lin Chen was "brought back" to the police force, he found that all the police officers in the office looked at him with strange eyes. Is it earnest?

Lin Chen was suddenly a little confused about the situation.

His hand was tightly held by Vice Captain Jiang, while Vice Captain Jiang's other hand was hooked on Xing Conglian's shoulder, with the aura of not letting go.

Jiang Chao's office had obviously been tidied up just now, the trash can was covered with new bags, and there were water stains on the floor that had just been mopped.

In front of the desk, two chairs were specially placed, the ones with soft backrests, and on the table were two cups of freshly brewed hot tea. The tea leaves were very new and green, and the tea soup was also clear and pleasant.

Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian, wanting to get some hints from the other party, but Xing Conglian didn't seem to care. He sat down at the desk boldly, held the teacup, and took a sip.

"Consultant Lin, please sit down."

Lin Chen was hesitating, but Jiang Chao hurriedly pushed him on another chair, and forced hot tea into his hand.

They were obviously taken back to the police station as "suspects" to assist in the investigation, but now they are treated as guests of honor. It seems a bit wrong to be treated like this?

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

A small policeman with a thick head and a thick brain poked his head in and said to Jiang Chao: "Team Jiang, the boss asked you to go!"

"Where are you going!" Jiang Chao slammed the table, "Didn't you see Captain Xing and Consultant Lin there?"

Before Jiang Chao finished speaking, a deep voice came from outside the door: "Deputy Captain Jiang, you have a lot of authority recently?"

While talking, a middle-aged man pushed the door and came in. The man came in a burly figure, with silver stars shining on his shoulders, and was at the same level as Inspector Huang. The BOSS in the mouth of the police.

"Zheng Bureau, Zheng Bureau, I'm sorry, I'm really too busy!" Seeing the boss, Jiang Chao hurriedly nodded and bowed, admitting his mistake and apologizing, but the middle-aged man didn't look at him, instead his eyes fell on He punished Cong Lian.

Following the eyes of the middle-aged man, Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian again, and saw that Xing Conglian was still sitting upright without turning his head, as if he was unaware of the arrival of the middle-aged man, or, he Just deliberately ignoring people?

Lin Chen's doubts deepened.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man obviously gritted his teeth, then looked at Xing Conglian's back in feigned surprise, and shouted: "Isn't this Captain Xing, why are you here?"

Only then did Xing Conglian react. He stood up, turned his head, saluted the middle-aged man expressionlessly, and said, "Hi, Bureau Zheng."

"Xiao Jiang, why didn't you say anything when Captain Xing is here!" The middle-aged man took a step forward, took Xing Conglian's hand exaggeratedly, and then shook it twice, "Long time no see, long time no see, old Xing !” He said, then turned his head and said to Jiang Chao, “Hurry up, order some good dishes in the canteen, so I can greet Captain Xing at noon!”

"No need." Xing Conglian said lightly, and as he said, he took his hand out of Director Zheng's hand, and handed out the document bag in his hand, "I came here this time only to hand over Yang Dianfeng. One case, the relevant materials of this case are all here, please ask Director Zheng to check it."

Lin Chen turned around.

Xing Conglian's attitude was too businesslike. Not only did he not mention the Yongchuan University case, he even urged the Yongchuan police to hand it over as soon as possible. This seems to be not his usual style of doing things?

Sure enough, after hearing what Xing Conglian said, Director Zheng was too embarrassed to speak, and Jiang Chao rushed to the rescue: "Hey, old Xing, what are you in a hurry for, don't you see that something big happened just now, I really can't spare my hand Come on!" He said, but he chose not to accept the dossier in Xing Conglian's hand.

"Then, may I trouble you to send someone under your command?" Xing Conglian raised his eyes and looked at the chief, calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing.

The attitude is so obvious, Director Zheng himself, of course, understands why Xing Conglian is angry, but he is the one who ordered Hongjing's psychological consultant to be brought back. He can't just apologize directly, right?

In fact, when Jiang Chao quietly called and told him that the suspect who was asked by the housekeeper of the Chen family to bring back to the police station was the one who rescued Fang Zhiming's daughter on the Hongjing Expressway, he had long wanted to put that old man Chen Ping in his heart. He was dragged out for a beating, what a joke, and Lin Chen was taken back to the police station as a suspect. Even if he was not afraid of being run out by the old criminal, he was afraid that Fang Zhiming's spirit in heaven would come to trouble him.

"Old Xing, don't you see that a big case has just happened, we really can't spare any manpower, so you can take Consultant Lin and have a meal here with peace of mind!" Director Zheng said, pulling Xing Conglian over again. hand.

"Please hand over as soon as possible. Consultant Lin and I can leave as soon as possible." Xing Conglian emphasized again.

"Hey, old Xing, don't do this!"

"I'm sorry, after all, Consultant Lin came to Yongchuan not for business, and we were just wandering around, and we were taken into the police station as suspects. If we stay too long, I'm afraid it will be easy to provoke criticism?" Xing Conglian said. Said.

Hearing what he said, Lin Chen finally understood. It turned out that Xing Conglian was standing up for him with his uncharacteristic and tough attitude?

However, he has experienced too much of such a small matter, and he never felt that it mattered. Why should he care so much?

Just when Lin Chen was puzzled, Director Zheng finally realized from Xing Conglian's solemn expression that if he didn't make a definite statement about today's matter, he must not be kind.

So he let go of Xing Conglian's hand and turned to face Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was a little surprised.

"Consultant Lin, I'm really sorry, today is indeed a misunderstanding, don't worry about it!"

The middle-aged man's tone was sincere, and after he finished speaking, he even bowed his head slightly to express his apology.

After all, the director personally apologized, and Lin Chen was very embarrassed. He wanted to stand up and return the salute, but Xing Conglian's hand was on his shoulder.

From the weight conveyed by that hand, Lin Chen understood that what Xing Conglian meant was that you are not allowed to stand up, this is what you should, and you can afford it.

Now that the other party has apologized, of course Xing Conglian will not show that cold face again.

After Director Zheng stood up straight again, he also took back the documents and said to Jiang Chao: "Since Captain Jiang is busy, Consultant Lin and I have stayed up all night, and we want to take a rest first, and call us when you are free? "

"Hey, why are you leaving!" Jiang Chao felt aggrieved when he heard this.

"We're not leaving. If it's convenient, we can rest in the police duty room." After Xing Conglian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Chen.

Looking into his deep eyes, Lin Chen could only nod his head.

Lin Chen felt that the atmosphere of the entire Yongchuan branch was a little strange.

For example, the chief would personally apologize to him, and just now, on the way to the duty room with Xing Conglian, he was forced to stuff a few candies into his hands.

The duty room was dimly lit, and there were two simple bunk beds in the small room.

It was only when Lin Chen saw the bed that he felt sleepy. He didn't have a cleanliness fetish. Since he was sleepy, he should sleep, so he put the sugar in his hand on the bedside table, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed.

Xing Conglian didn't have a bed, he sat in a chair with his feet up on another chair, looking very casual.

"The Yongchuan police seem very unwilling to hand over Yang Dianfeng's case to you. Why?" Remembering that in the office just now, Xing Conglian only used a file bag to force the other party to bow his head. After thinking about it, Lin Chen still asked this question.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with the documents." Xing Conglian took off his police uniform and put it on his body, then turned his head and looked at him, "It's just related to you."

"Huh?" Hearing this answer, Lin Chen was slightly surprised.

"What do you think of the Yongchuan University case?" Xing Conglian changed the subject.

"It's not easy." Lin Chen replied.

"Can you be specific?"

"Do you think it's shocking to find three overlapping corpses under a banyan tree?" Lin Chen asked.

"Very."

"So what's your first reaction when you see a body buried on campus?"

"Ordinary murder." Xing Conglian told the truth.

"What does it mean when a shocking story begins with a flat narrative?"

"Someone wants twists and turns?" Xing Conglian suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant. Even if the three people under the tree were willing to be buried alive, someone must have covered them with the last handful of soil.

"He has done it now." Lin Chen said quietly, but after he finished speaking, he also understood Xing Conglian's meaning, "You mean, Captain Jiang and the others?"

"They probably really want to keep you here to help with the investigation." Xing Conglian felt helpless.

"I don't understand. I don't think it's that important." Lin Chen told the truth. The director personally apologized because he wanted him to assist in the investigation.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Xing Conglian's eyes suddenly softened. He looked at the candy Lin Chen had just put down, and said softly, "Because Fang Zhiming worked here for ten years before he was transferred to the anti-drug department, the people here , including Director Zheng himself, were all his colleagues."

You uncovered a corner of the dark truth, you saved their colleagues from innocent deaths, and you saved their colleagues' daughters. You are really important to them.

The Chen family may be able to put pressure on the police, but no amount of pressure can match what you have done.

In this world, money may buy countless obedient looks and false flattery, but it can never buy true respect.

Lin Chen finally understood: "You know about this, so...you must ask Director Zheng to apologize?"

"I didn't ask for anything?" Xing Conglian laughed dumbly, "You think Director Zheng went downstairs in person just to scold Captain Jiang. He knew that he ordered you to be arrested, so he came here to make amends. No chance to speak."

"So, they were acting just now?"

"Yeah, the characteristics of Yongchuan Second Bureau."

Lin Chen leaned on the bed, feeling that the atmosphere of this police station was indeed a bit bizarre.

"Not used to it?" Xing Conglian suddenly asked, looking at the person leaning on the bed who was lost in thought.

Lin Chen thought for a while and nodded.

"Just get used to it slowly in the future." After he finished speaking, he turned off the light on the bedside: "Have a good rest, and they won't let us go later."

The heavy curtains were drawn carefully, and there was almost no light in the room.

Soon the sound of even breathing came from the ears.

Lin Chen stretched out his hand, picked up a candy from the bedside table, and peeled off the wrapper.

Xing Conglian's breathing gradually became longer.

Lin Chen put the sugar in his mouth and took a sip.

You don't have to, but still...thanks a lot...
