Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 466 The secret in the rental house!
Room 1006, Lotus Community, Longchuan City, Yunnan Province.

The sun shone in from the narrow terrace, and the door to the entrance hall suddenly opened, raising dust particles in the living room, floating slightly in the air.

"This room has one bedroom and one living room, with an area of ​​50 square meters. It is fully equipped with appliances and furniture. You can move in with just your luggage. It's very convenient."

The fat and short landlord walked in, holding a large bunch of keys in his hand.

A young couple also followed him into the house, looking around cautiously.

The landlord looked at the two people and smiled: "How is it? Is it okay? This place is close to the city center, and there is a big supermarket downstairs. It is very convenient to buy groceries. And standing on the terrace, you can see the Longchuan River in the distance."

The landlord drew aside the curtains, pushed open the glass door, and walked to the terrace: “Look, this terrace isn’t exposed to the sun much, it’s very suitable for you young couple to live in.

There are tables, chairs and benches here. If you have nothing to do, you can drink coffee on the terrace and look at the moonlight. How nice. By the way, what are your names?"

The boy replied: "My name is Liang Yi and my girlfriend's name is Hu Lijun."

The girl was wearing a white, thin down jacket and a brown winter skirt. She looked a little shy, but had a delicate face.

The landlord couldn't help but look at her twice and asked, "Are you freshly graduated college students?"

Liang Yi nodded as he observed the room: "Yes, I just graduated during the summer vacation."

"From the same school?"

"Ah."

The landlord smiled and said, "Childhood sweethearts! Judging from your accent, you are from other provinces? Why do you want to work in Longchuan?"

“There are a lot of opportunities here.”

"That may not be the case. Longchuan is next to Myanmar, a border city. If you want to make a fortune, you have to try your luck on the other side."

Liang Yi looked at the layout of the house. The bedroom was on the right side of the terrace, but there was no door. There were only two glass walls on both sides. A green bead curtain two people wide was hung in the middle for entry and exit.

He retreated from the terrace to the living room and looked at the mottled walls, on which there were many stains, some of which looked like brown bloodstains.

However, the bedroom behind the beaded curtain had walls covered with light blue wallpaper and looked quite clean.

Liang Yi retracted his gaze, pulled his girlfriend Hu Lijun aside, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"

Hu Lijun shook her head: "Not very good."

"What's wrong?" After Liang Yi asked, he already understood what she meant.

So he walked up to the landlord and asked, "Boss, how do you calculate the rent?"

"One thousand, deposit three and pay one."

"It's too expensive. We haven't found a job yet." Liang Yi smiled and said, "Can it be cheaper?"

The landlord immediately shook his head and said, "Little brother, you can see that this location is good, close to the city center, and it will be convenient for you to find a job, right? I see that you are recent college graduates and you like to keep things clean, so I only want one thousand a month, no less."

"Six hundred, one deposit and one payment." Liang Yi bargained.

"You must be kidding me. I've been showing you houses for the whole morning, and you're kidding me?"

Liang Yi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the landlord.

"Boss, please give me a lower price. My girlfriend and I are both students. Besides, once we find a job, you can raise it a little more."

The landlord hesitated for a moment, then took the cigarette and said, "I'll charge you 800 yuan, two months deposit and one month's payment, no less. But the lease term is one year, and you can't say you don't want to rent in the middle of it."

"Okay, let's sign the contract right away at this price." Liang Yi agreed immediately.

"I've brought the contract. You guys can go downstairs and make a copy of your ID card later."

Liang Yi nodded: "I'll go right away."

After he left, only the landlord and Hu Lijun were left in the room.

Seeing that the house was ready to be rented, Hu Lijun picked up the two suitcases outside the door and brought them in.

They had already stayed in the hotel for two days. Now that they had a place to stay in this strange city, they felt much more at ease.

"Little sister, it's not easy to find a job in our Longchuan City. Do you want me to introduce you to an easier job?" The landlord sat on the dining chair, smoking a cigarette and staring at the girl's butt.

Hu Lijun noticed his unfriendly look. Although she felt disgusted, she did not show it on her face.

"No need, we will find it ourselves."

"Really?" The landlord swallowed his saliva and laughed: "If you figure it out one day, come to me, I guarantee you will make a lot of money!"

Hu Lijun was unfamiliar with the place and her boyfriend was not around, so she didn't dare to get too close to the short and fat man. She sat at the dining table near the entrance. The door of the room was also open so she could run out at any time.

The atmosphere was a little tense, but fortunately, her boyfriend Liang Yi acted quickly and came back in ten minutes.

"Here, a copy of your ID card." Liang Yi handed it to the landlord.

"Okay, let's sign the contract." The landlord said with a smile.

The rental contract was simple and not complicated. It was just a piece of paper and was completed in less than ten minutes.

But Hu Lijun was more vigilant than her boyfriend. She also took the landlord to go over the appliances and furniture in the house to see which ones were good and which ones were broken. She couldn't just move out a year later and then ask the landlord to pay for the broken furniture.

After the landlord left, Hu Lijun closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Yi hugged her happily: "Lijun, we have a place to stay now, let's celebrate!"

Although Hu Lijun was also very happy, her expression was rather restrained: "Liang Yi, how much money do we have left?"

Liang Yi let go of her, took out his wallet, pulled out all the money, and counted it: "I paid 2,400 yuan for rent and deposit, and there are more than 600 yuan left."

Hu Lijun also picked up her small bag and took out the money.

"I only have over 200 here, and there is 1,000 in my card." Hu Lijun sat in a chair: "This money is only enough for us to survive for more than a month. We have to find a job immediately."

Liang Yi nodded: "Don't worry, I'll find something to do tomorrow."

"We can't let you make money alone." Hu Lijun said with a smile: "Let's go find it together."

Liang Yi touched his nose and said, "Then shall we still celebrate?"

"Sure." Hu Lijun said with a smile, "Then let's be extravagant tonight, but only spend thirty dollars."

"Only thirty?" Liang Yi took out the change in his hand: "You think I only have this much change?"

Hu Lijun touched his face and said, "Although we are poor now, things will get better in the future. There is an electric rice cooker in the kitchen. Go downstairs to buy some groceries while I clean up the house. By the way, remember to buy chopsticks and bowls, and two kilograms of rice."

"Okay!" Liang Yi stood up and kissed her face: "Lijun, I won't let you suffer."

"I believe you!"

Hu Lijun took off her down jacket, rolled up her sleeves, and began to clean their love nest.

Liang Yi handed his wallet to Hu Lijun and left with only thirty or so yuan.

After entering the elevator, he took out another hundred yuan bill from his pocket.

He knew he had no money, but he would not let his girlfriend suffer no matter what.

What can I buy with more than thirty dollars? I just rented a house and I need to buy everything.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, etc...

Going to the supermarket downstairs, Liang Yi carefully selected items on the shelves, all of which were discounted items. He knew that Hu Lijun loved to eat shrimps, so he bought four freshwater shrimps and took them back for Hu Lijun to satisfy her craving.

Since he had no money to buy garbage bags, Liang Yi simply grabbed several plastic bags from the vegetable section of the supermarket. After paying the bill, he did not ask for a shopping bag, but carried all the bags in his hands and walked back to the community.

When he got back to the door, he couldn't free his hands, so he had to kick it with his foot.

But Hu Lijun did not open the door.

"Bang, bang!"

Liang Yi continued to kick the door and shouted inside: "Lijun, open the door."

But still no one responded from inside. Just as he was wondering, the door suddenly opened and Hu Lijun stood in front of him with a flushed face and rapid breathing.

"What's wrong with you?" Liang Yi asked in confusion, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Lijun dragged him into the room so roughly that the things in his hands fell to the ground.

"Hey, hey..."

Liang Yi walked in and wanted to turn around to pick up the vegetables and a bag of shrimps on the ground, but Hu Lijun quickly closed the door.

"Oh!"

"No, Lijun, you..."

Hu Lijun kept gasping for breath, said nothing, grabbed his arm and pulled him forward.

Liang Yi stumbled after her, passed through the green bead curtain, and came to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered and saw the scene inside, his whole body froze and his face was stunned.

Liang Yi swallowed his saliva because he held the rice bag too tightly and the film bag was torn, and the white rice flowed out!

In front of the young couple, the mattress on the bed in the bedroom was cut open, revealing stacks of red banknotes.

Hidden in the half-meter-deep mattress were a huge amount of 100-yuan bills, neatly stacked together, forming a piece, like a red ocean!!!

"Oh my god!" Liang Yi couldn't help but shout, his throat rolling, he was so scared!
Hu Lijun held his hand tightly, her palms feeling hot.

"Liang Yi, we're rich!"

----------

It was late December and the weather was sunny.

Xishuang City, in the office of the Criminal Police Detachment.

Liu Fuze filled the cup in front of Luo Rui with tea and said with a smile, "Boss Luo, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Luo Rui tapped the table with his finger and said, "Yes, I have been out for more than a month. It is time to go back to the provincial department. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. I have been transferred to the provincial department for less than two months in the past six months."

"You have worked hard and made great contributions." Liu Fuze put down the teapot: "This time, you can come to Xishuang City. We all want you to stay for a while and help us solve this old case."

Luo Rui replied, "I went back for this matter. It's New Year's Day soon. After the New Year, the provincial department will organize local bureaus to solve some unsolved homicide cases."

Liu Fuze smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult to deal with the backlog of cases. Many of them are from more than ten or twenty years ago. If you go to our archives room and look, you will find that many of them cannot be traced.

In those years, our technical means could not keep up. Some fugitives who had killed people would move to another place or change their identities. Who could find them?

Just recently, in Kunming City, a case from ten years ago was solved. According to DNA matching, it was found that the man had fled to another province and even became an actor.

A few years ago, this guy played a supporting role in a TV series called something, and he lived a pretty comfortable life. "

Luo Rui nodded: "Now we are setting up a command center and building complete databases in various places, especially the fingerprint database and population information database. We will increase our efforts to improve them in the future."

"I hope so." Liu Fuze nodded. Luo Rui stood up, picked up his briefcase, and held out his hand: "Captain Liu, we'll see you later."

"See you later. I hope to work with you again." Liu Fuze also stood up: "I'll see you off."

Luo Rui had no objection and walked out of the office. Lin Chen, Qiao Xue, Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui, who were waiting outside, followed him, each carrying documents.

A group of people went down the stairs and came to the yard, and they were just about to get into the car.

A red Buick drove into the yard and stopped next to the Coaster.

Guo Lexuan opened the car door and walked towards Luo Rui.

She was wearing casual clothes today and had a polite smile on her face.

Qiao Xue curled her lips slightly and whispered to Lin Chen and the others, "Why is she here?"

Fang Yonghui smiled and said, "Does she want to follow us to the provincial department?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Is it possible? Does she have the ability to do that?"

Fang Yonghui chuckled: "I don't know if she has the ability, what if she has a father like you."

Lin Chen muttered, "Is there a police chief named Guo in the provincial department?"

Qiao Xue said with a smile: "Can't I take my mother's last name?"

Lin Chen knew that this was a joke, but she didn't get angry: "If you ask me, this Guo Lexuan is trying to get close to our CEO Luo."

"Hey, Mr. Luo has such damn charm." Fang Yonghui said enviously.

At this time, Guo Lexuan came to Luo Rui and said with a smile: "Boss Luo, are you leaving now? Isn't the case not solved yet?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes, not wanting to delay his return, but he also replied politely: "I believe in Director Dong's ability to investigate. Chen Fangliang is already dead, so we are not needed for the follow-up investigation."

Guo Lexuan nodded: "Then are you interested in going to Longchuan City?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Rui narrowed his eyes.

"There is a very strange case. No, it's not just one case, it's a series of cases." Guo Lexuan kept the secret.

Luo Rui knew she was trying to hook him, so he shrugged: "Not interested."

"Ah?" Guo Lexuan asked in surprise: "You..."

"If everything is fine, we'll leave first. Bye." Luo Rui waved and boarded the Coaster.

Lin Chen winked at Guo Lexuan and said, "Officer Guo, please come to the provincial department often in the future."

Qiao Xue followed Lin Chen into the car and said, "Officer Guo, the provincial department is not interesting. Those who can go out on field missions are all cattle and horses. You are better off sitting in an office at the county bureau. You don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun. Your skin is really white."

Fang Yonghui pushed Qiao Xue into the car and said with a smile: "Officer Guo, do you have my phone number? I'll leave you a number. If you come to Yuncheng, you must come to play with me."

Chu Yang stepped on Fang Yonghui's heel. When getting in the car, he looked at Guo Leyun's livid face and consoled her: "Officer Guo, don't bother with them. They are all hooligans. Actually, there is nothing good about following Mr. Luo in handling cases. He has a bad temper and always likes to swear."

Guo Lexuan frowned and glared at him.

Chu Yang had no choice but to get in the car in disappointment.

The Coaster drove out of the compound of Xishuang Municipal Bureau, and Liu Fuze came to Guo Lexuan.

"Xiao Guo, are you interested in working at the Municipal Bureau?"

Guo Lexuan gritted her teeth and looked in the direction where Luo Rui and the others were leaving. She turned around and said, "Not interested!"

Liu Fuze shrugged and didn't want to pay any more attention to her.

Unexpectedly, Guo Lexuan turned around and asked inexplicably: "Captain Liu, have there been many drowning cases in Xishuang City recently?"

Liu Fuze asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"

Guo Lexuan pondered and said, "I'm just asking. I have to go to Longchuan City. One of my colleagues encountered a case, which may be a major series of cases."

------------

On the highway to Yuncheng, Lin Chen and his companions were in a very relaxed mood, talking and laughing.

During this business trip of more than a month, they solved two cases in succession. These were their first two cases since they came to Yunnan Province, so they were considered to be successfully solved.

Especially the major X-cult case at Shangyao Reservoir. After the case was concluded, they had no time to return to the provincial department to report, and immediately came to Xishuang City.

Although this case is nothing special, not very difficult, and not as vicious as other cases, the feeling it gives them is completely different.

To outsiders, the reason why Chen Fangliang escaped from prison is indeed untenable, but from a human perspective, it makes sense.

He wrote on a note stuck in the book: Once suspicion arises, the crime is established.

He has been in prison for five years, and he has begun to doubt whether Chen Xuan is his son. This question haunts him like a nightmare, forcing him to get out and find out at all costs.

But it is still unknown whether he had figured out this problem when he died, but he must have felt relieved in his heart.

Otherwise, he would not have kidnapped his son Chen Xuan to see that his mother loved him.

He didn't want to leave any regrets in Chen Xuan's heart, but he planted the seeds of "evil" in the child's heart.

Chen Fangliang is already dead, and no one knows what he was thinking.

Lin Chen and his friends discussed the case but could not come to a conclusion, so they had to ask Luo Rui: "Mr. Luo, what do you think Chen Fangliang's purpose is?"

Luo Rui was dozing with his eyes closed, and said, "Why think so much? If you have this time, you might as well get more sleep."

"Go back to the provincial department, life will be back to normal and you can rest." Lin Chen spoke with a clipped tone.

Fang Yonghui shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. The provincial department doesn't treat Mr. Luo and us like cattle and horses. I write my name backwards. If Mr. Luo becomes the captain one day, we will be comfortable."

Qiao Xue sneered, "Boss Luo has become the captain, can you keep up with the progress?"

"I..." Fang Yonghui was speechless.

Lin Chen chuckled: "Yonghui, you have to make more contributions and become a captain or detachment leader of a municipal bureau in the future."

"Please don't talk bad about me. How can a loser like me do this? If I can be promoted to captain, my ancestors will be so happy."

Qiao Xue said: "That's not necessarily the case. You just need to follow our CEO Luo's steps."

Fang Yonghui looked at Luo Rui and coughed twice.

Luo Rui glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "Stop coughing, I'm listening."

Fang Yonghui raised his eyebrows and felt very relieved.

In addition to him, Luo Rui looked at Chu Yang again: "Brother Chu, what do you think about the future?"

"Ah?" Chu Yang was looking at the computer screen. Hearing this, he looked at Qiao Xue and blushed. "Team Leader, I don't have any ideas. If you can be promoted to captain in the future, I will still work with you."

Lin Chen said sarcastically: "Look at your lack of ability. Mr. Luo has already called you senior brother, but you still don't understand?"

Chu Yang touched his nose and said, "If there ever comes a day when I have to leave my position as team leader, I want to go back to Haidong Province to work, back to my original unit."

"Don't forget your original intention, that's good." Luo Rui nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

After returning to the provincial department, Luo Rui and others rested for a week.

This week, they returned to their normal work, mainly reporting on the work of the previous two cases, familiarizing themselves with the personnel of the provincial department, and going out to eat and drink after get off work.

The days passed pleasantly for several days...

--------------

It was early January, just after New Year’s Day.

In Longchuan City, a bridge on the outskirts of the city was filled with onlookers who came to watch the excitement. These people lowered their heads and looked at a boat floating on the river.

Although the sun was shining brightly at this moment, a pale corpse was floating in the shadow of the bridge pier.

The uniformed police officers on the boat directed the boat driver to slowly move the boat closer to the body.

The body, lying face down, rose and fell with the waves.

"Slow down, don't get any closer! You're going to hit the body!" The policeman raised his hand and shouted, "One more person!"

Another policeman came over from the stern, and both of them put on long sleeves and waterproof gloves.

The policeman in front was kneeling on the side of the boat, leaning forward. As he couldn't reach the target, another policeman pulled his other hand.

The two of them just held hands.

The policeman in front stretched out his hand, just grabbed the left leg of the corpse, and then pulled hard.

The body slowly moved closer to the side of the boat. Other police officers on the boat quickly moved over and worked together to fish the body out.

This was a female corpse. Water kept dripping from her long black hair. She was barefoot and her soles were black and blue. She must have been dead for some time.

Her hair, like algae, covered her face, making it impossible to see her features.

After the police put the body down, the leading officer said, "Look in its pockets to see if there is anything that can prove its identity."

"Okay." A young policeman nodded and began to search the pockets of the corpse's clothes.

"No, nothing."

"Put your hair aside so someone can take the picture."

"it is good."

The young policeman carefully pushed aside the wet hair tangled on the female corpse's face, revealing a purple-black face.

The female corpse's eyes were open, her pupils were dilated, and her eyes revealed deep fear.

Then, another policeman held a camera and began to take pictures of the female corpse.

On the bridge, the onlookers sighed repeatedly.

"It's a woman!"

"I don't know what kind of depression could make someone commit suicide."

"Who says it's not true? Many people drown in our Longchuan River every year. Just last week, a man drowned downstream."

………………

There was constant whispering and discussion.

In the crowd, a young man was squeezed on the shore, holding the railing of the bridge tightly with both hands, and veins bulged on his face.

His eyes were filled with tears, his eyes were red, and he bit his lips tightly!
