Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 46 Hongcheng University
Zhou Yi sent his third uncle to Hongcheng Railway Station. Before leaving, Zhou Jianye stuffed an envelope into Zhou Yi's arms.

Zhou Yi knew just by touching it that there were at least thousands of them.

He was about to speak when Zhou Jianye spoke first, "This money isn't for you, it's for the old man. But don't let him know, he's very stubborn. Ask your father to buy him more delicious food and don't let him drink alcohol. At most, he can drink yellow wine, not white wine or beer."

Looking at his uncle chattering, Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing.

Both are sons, but one wants to kill his father for money.

The other one said that he was not getting along with her, but he was worried about her in his heart.

"Okay, Uncle San, if we don't leave now we'll miss the bus." Zhou Yi patted his shoulder.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. I'll find a solution when I get back to what you mentioned last time."

Zhou Yi nodded. He could only rely on his uncle for business matters.

Zhou Jianye opened his arms and said, "Come, let Uncle San hold one."

Without waiting for Zhou Yi to agree, Zhou Jianye hugged him.

Then he whispered, "Keep going, and try to get your grandfather to hold his great-grandson soon!"

After saying that, he let go of Zhou Yi, picked up the luggage and ran towards the ticket gate, laughing as he ran.

Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly, as if he saw the boy who took him to play when he was a child.

After watching his uncle disappear from his sight, Zhou Yi left the train station, got on his bicycle and started to wander around.

Before I knew it, I had ridden near Hongda and could see the majestic Hongda school gate from a long distance away.

The four golden signs of "Hongcheng University" shine brightly.

Zhou Yi remembered that these four words seemed to have been changed at the beginning of last year, because Hongda, the best university in Hongcheng, was selected into the list of 21 key universities to be built in the st century "Science and Education Revitalize the Country" strategy.

That is the legendary 211 key university.

At that time, the concept of 985 did not exist, because the 985 project was not officially proposed until May , more than a year later.

Hongda University has always been well-known and is one of the best universities in the province. After being selected into the 211 Project, it has become one of the labels of Hongcheng.

But when Zhou Yi looked at the bustling school gate, he thought of the tragedy that was about to happen in more than a month.

Just when he was stunned, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him. Zhou Yi was startled and quickly turned the handlebar to the other side to avoid the person.

It's just that the twist was too strong, which directly caused the car to lose balance.

"Hey hey hey——" Zhou Yi couldn't help but scream, and immediately everyone around him looked over.

Just when he was about to fall, Zhou Yi suddenly pushed with his feet and managed to control the bicycle in mid-air.

"Zhou Yi?" a familiar voice called out.

When Zhou Yi looked up, he found that the person he almost bumped into was Xu Nian.

"Are you okay?" Xu Nian asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry, I almost hit you." Zhou Yi said as he picked up the bicycle.

"I didn't really hit anyone, so why are you apologizing? But you, are you feeling unwell?" Although they had only met a few times, Zhou Yi left her with the impression of being mature and steady far beyond his age. So when she saw him riding his bike absent-mindedly and almost hitting someone, she thought he was feeling unwell.

"No, I was absent." Zhou Yi smiled embarrassedly.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, why are you here?" Zhou Yi remembered that Xu Nian was studying at the Medical University in the provincial capital.

"Just call me Xu Nian. We're not in the police station."

Zhou Yi nodded. It wasn't that he meant to shout that, but his feelings towards Xu Nian were a bit complicated.

To Xu Nian, he was just a new colleague whom he had just met. But to Zhou Yi, she was the most familiar stranger. Feelings and grudges coexisted in Zhou Yi's heart, making him very conflicted and he didn't know how to face Xu Nian.

I had originally thought that we would meet at the bureau in the future, and try to be as businesslike as possible and let things take their own course, but I didn't expect to meet here.

"Oh, I'm here to return some books. I borrowed some professional books from the grand library."

"Hongda Library is OK..." Zhou Yi just said that when he remembered that Xu Nian's mother was a professor at Hongda University. So it would not be difficult for her to borrow books from the university library which was not open to the public.

"What happened to the Grand Library?"

"fine."

"Are you passing by or did you come to Hongda specifically?" Xu Nian asked.

"I was just riding my bike, strolling around, passing by."

Xu Nian raised her slender wrist, looked at the small and exquisite watch on it, and asked with a smile: "It's still early, so do you want to go in and take a stroll?"

What she was referring to was, of course, the grandeur behind her.

Originally Zhou Yi wanted to refuse, but suddenly he thought of the grand dismemberment case that was about to happen soon. Maybe he should go in and take a look to familiarize himself with the environment.

Although most university campuses were open to the public in the 1990s, access was limited to public areas. For example, places like the library were not accessible without Xu Nian's connections.

"Will it not delay your return of the book?"

"It won't delay me. It's just on my way."

Zhou Yi pushed his bicycle and followed Xu Nian into the gate of Hongcheng University with the crowd.

Because it was the weekend, many people went to Hongda, including elderly people taking a walk alone and young couples with their children. The scene was full of vitality in the warm sunshine of early spring.

After experiencing a life experience, Zhou Yi's horizons and cognition became much broader. Only then did he realize that he was really slow to realize things back then.

Xu Nian's clothes, bags, and the exquisite watch on her wrist were all quite expensive, at least not something she could afford on her salary as a new forensic doctor.

These details all show that she comes from a fairly wealthy family, but I couldn't see that back then. I just thought Xu Nian's dressing style was very elegant and beautiful.

"What a silly boy." Zhou Yi couldn't help but complain about his past self in his heart.

Thinking about the fact that Xu Nian's father was placed under double supervision, Zhou Yi secretly made up his mind that he would never have anything to do with Xu Nian again in this life.

Because even if he had to do it again, he might be able to change the solution to the murder case, but he could never stop the person's behavior.

As his mind moved, Zhou Yi, who was pushing his bicycle, involuntarily fell behind Xu Nian.

But Xu Nian didn't think so. In addition to the imposing appearance of Zhou Yi, the young policeman, what attracted her most was his mature and steady temperament.

She was very curious about what he had experienced.
She was about to speak when she found that there was no one around.

When he turned around, he found that Zhou Yi was more than one meter behind him.

"what happened to you?"

A breeze blew by, lifting Xu Nian's skirt and hair.

Xu Nian tidied her messy hair and looked at him tenderly in the warm sunshine.

But Zhou Yi suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

Because there happened to be a few girls talking and laughing as they passed by. Among them was a girl with two ponytails, dressed simply, and with a childish look on her face.

This girl is none other than Lu Xiaoshuang, the victim of the grand dismemberment case.
