Chapter 19 Discussion
Chi Xia saw this scene from upstairs, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He found it interesting, but it seemed as if he was seeing something else.
If someone were here, they would notice that she looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about all the people and things around her. She was cold and didn't look like an intern who had just arrived at the police station . She looked more like an experienced police officer.
Chi Xia didn't retract her gaze until Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue disappeared from her sight. In the blink of an eye, she turned back into the dull intern.
At the door of the task force, Chi Xia and Luo Xun happened to meet each other.
Lin Wenjue greeted first: "Xiao Xia, are you out for some fresh air?"
Chi Xia laughed, called Captain Luo first, and then replied to Lin Wenjue: "I went to Director Chang. He said that Captain Luo just called him and hoped that the Transportation Bureau would cooperate with us to retrieve the whereabouts records of Zhang Wen and the others. He has agreed."
Luo Xun narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure you didn't find out that I had already said hello when you went to discuss it with Director Chang?"
Chi Xia frowned and smiled: "It's all the same, Captain Luo, investigating the case is the most important thing."
Luo Xun snorted coldly and walked in, clapping his hands: "Come on, come on, let's exchange what we have and share our achievements."
He walked straight towards the big desk. Cao Bin quickly came over, and Curly was still sitting at his seat, killing everyone.
He had to quickly investigate the Zhou family's assets and find more clues about Zhou Yanchen's painting.
"Boss, you don't know, thanks to Chi Xia, she suggested using that gait tracking method to find someone, and she actually found him for us. Isn't that amazing? But to be on the safe side, we plan to ask the technical investigation department to help confirm it, and then proceed with the Transportation Bureau at the same time."
As soon as Cao Bin came over, he started speaking well of Chi Xia.
Luo Xun leaned back in his chair and glanced at Chi Xia. When he saw a bruise on her neck, his expression changed and he felt a little guilty.
"Well, that's fine. Let's do it this way. You should give the relevant information to the Transportation Bureau right away. Have you gone to the Technical Investigation Department?"
"I just went there and found an opportunity. He immediately helped us." Cao Bin was a little happy.
The technical investigation department is just like the forensic department. They are very busy every day and have to queue up every time. This time seems to be a good sign, and Luo Xun's mood improved .
"Curly, how are you doing over there? I asked you to investigate the Zhou family's assets. How's that going?" Luo Xun asked.
Curly didn't even raise his head: "Boss, give me some more time."
Luo Xun nodded and looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner.
"Boss, you guys have also seen Zhou Yanchen, how is he, is he a suspect?"
Cao Bin was also eager to know the progress of Luo Xun and the others, so he asked quickly.
Luo Xun looked at Lin Wenjue: "Old Lin, tell me."
Lin Wenjue walked up to the case board, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it: "From our conversation with him, we found that Zhou Yanchen is confident, meticulous, and bold. If he is really the murderer in this case, then he is so confident that even if we are sure he is the murderer, we can't find any evidence of his crime."
Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia vaguely and saw that the corners of her lips were slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm.
She said: "As long as he killed someone, there must be evidence ."
Lin Wenjue just liked Chi Xia's energy. He smiled heartily: "Chi Xia is right. As long as he did it, there must be evidence."
Luo Xun glanced at Lin Wenjue and put the documents in his hand on the table: " Zhang Wen and Lin Wei bought the paintings on the same day, and Chen Li has an invitation card, which means that the three of them appeared at the exhibition of the drowned at the same time. As a collector, Zhou Yanchen sold his treasured paintings to Zhang Wen and others at a very low price, or, he gave them away instead of selling them. So what is his purpose?"
Cao Bin flipped through the documents: "Boss, how do you know that Zhou Yanchen was sold at a low price?"
Luo Xun looked at Chi Xia: "Chi Xia, what do you think?"
Chi Xia thought for a moment before speaking: "Although we haven't found out who the buyer was behind MR.D's sale of these twelve paintings, we do know the selling price. For ordinary people, just one of these twelve paintings is a high price, but Zhang Wen, especially Lin Wei, were able to buy the paintings, and we haven't found any large financial expenditures from them."
Curly's voice floated over from the other end: "Yes, Chi Xia is right. When I checked, I didn't find any large expenditures from them in the past two years."
A painting that was beyond the economic level appeared in the victim's home without any large expenditure.
And all of them point to depression.
Luo Xun's eyes were deep, and he continued: "Moreover, Zhou Yanchen admitted that he was very interested in psychology."
Lin Wenjue added: "By the way, Zhou Yanchen has mysophobia."
Cao Bin smacked the clues and clapped his hands: "Doesn't this match Chi Xia's profile?"
"But we have no motive or evidence right now." Chi Xia's words extinguished the little spark of excitement that had just risen in Cao Bin's heart.
Yes, evidence, evidence, the most important evidence in a case, and now they have nothing but speculation.
"Investigate, investigate this person named Zhou Yanchen." Luo Xun said.
After he finished speaking, he sat up from his chair and pointed at the table: "Chi Xia, can you tell me now how you plan to fish?"
"If Zhou Yanchen is really related to the case, there will be two possibilities after he sees the news," said Chi Xia.
Luo Xun rested his elbows on the handles of the chair, pinching his chin with his thumb and index finger: "The first option is to stay put, and the second option is to speed up the action."
"Yes, if he doesn't move, it will buy us some time. If he speeds up, we will have to keep an eye on his whereabouts. In any case, we have a certain degree of initiative."
Even so, Chi Xia still had some concerns: "If he is smart enough, he will soon realize our purpose. We have to find a way to force him to do it. The best thing is to make him desperate."
"A cornered dog will jump over the wall." Luo Xun snorted: "That's easy to say, but how can we make him do it without new victims appearing? This is the main problem."
"Yes, that's the core of the problem."
Chi Xia took a deep breath and said, "But we haven't figured out a way to force him to do something desperate."
Luo Xun was about to glance at her when she immediately added, "So what we can do now is to keep a close eye on Zhou Yanchen's movements while looking for other clues."
This woman stopped him from speaking, and Luo Xun's breath was stuck in his throat for a long time before he could swallow it.
Lin Wenjue hadn't seen him look so deflated in a long time. He was so happy that he tried to hide his smile by drinking water, but ended up choking himself.
Cao Bin was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter, but Chi Xia seemed to be unaware of anything.
Luo Xun rolled his eyes at the two people who were gloating over his misfortune, and propped up the table with his index finger bent: "Lao Cao, it looks like you're going to have to work hard."
Cao Bin understood immediately and stood up straight: "Okay, Boss, don't worry, I'm a professional at keeping watch!"
Lin Wenjue joked, "In the entire Dongzhou police system, no one can compare to our Officer Cao when it comes to surveillance."
"Lao Lin, come on, even if you say I look ordinary, I won't hit you."
Cao Bin took a deep breath and said, "Boss, when do you think we should start?"
"Tonight." Luo Xun slammed the table.
Chi Xia immediately said, "Captain Luo, I want to apply to go with Brother Cao."
This was beyond Luo Xun's expectations. Even Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin thought that they would never let a girl like Chi Xia follow them on this surveillance mission.
"I've heard that Brother Cao once set a record of stalking someone for 72 hours without sleeping. I want to see for myself, and I will definitely not hold him back." Chi Xia softened his tone.
Luo Xun looked at her eyes that were looking at him with a begging expression, and he really clapped his hands in his heart. Good, the acting was really good, and she was very flexible.
Just as Luo Xun was about to speak, Curly-haired man suddenly stood up and shouted, "Boss, I found out!"
