Chapter 83: Dark Night Prelude
The night is dark.
The people in this city.
Rushing from one end to the other.
No one noticed that the person standing under the street light was looking at the people passing by with cold eyes.
Oh……
Is this life?
No.
no.
The man told himself this in his heart.
Just watching those girls with bright smiles and those mothers holding their children walking past me.
When I look at the child’s bright and pure eyes looking at me, those eyes are so beautiful, and that face is so cute.
He smiled quietly and stealthily at the children, and the children smiled back at him. This should be the happiest moment of the day for that person.
When everything returned to silence and darkness, only hatred remained in those bright eyes.
Who should pay this debt?
Someone has to pay back, and those who owe debts can never escape.
I am coming.
Are you ready.
The man muttered to himself.
He smiled sinisterly.
Since no one wants to talk .
Then let yourself seek justice for yourself.
No one who walks through the abyss of sin can escape.
Since Xie Lingling’s last case, the colleagues in the serious crime squad had a good rest for a few days.
That day, Gu Nankai had just arrived at the serious crime team and had a sip of tea when he was called over by Chen Anning.
"Cao Cang, have you submitted the case closing report?" Gu Nankai asked before leaving. Cao Cang nodded quickly, "I submitted it a long time ago. I worked overtime to submit it."
Gu Nankai finally felt relieved. The case closing report had been submitted, so Chen Anning probably wasn't looking for him because of the case.
But when Gu Nankai knocked on Chen Anning's office door, he regretted it.
As soon as he saw Gu Nankai come in, Chen Anning was happy. He quickly stood up and rushed towards Gu Nankai, wanting to give him a brotherly hug, but Gu Nankai easily dodged.
"What's the matter with calling me here? As far as I know, the case closing report of Xie Lingling has been submitted." Gu Nankai found a chair and sat down. God knows he is good at solving cases, but writing the case closing report is his Achilles' heel. Every time, it takes Cao Cang and Li Meng to take turns to finish it. Did Chen Anning call him because these bastards didn't do a good job?
"Oh, Old Gu! Something happened!" Chen Anning was not as relaxed as Gu Nankai at this moment. He put away the joy he had just felt when he saw Gu Nankai, and looked at Gu Nankai with a sad face.
Every time Chen An Ning looked pitiful, Gu Nankai knew something was fishy. Who knew that every time he did this, he would find a bunch of trouble for him.
When Gu Nankai saw Chen An Ning walking towards him with materials in his hands, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly jumped up from his chair and ran outside. But Chen An Ning was prepared. When he saw this momentum, he rushed to the door before Gu Nankai and held it tightly. He leaned his back against the door and looked at Gu Nankai with a smile.
"Don't go, don't go, can you help me?"
Gu Nankai didn't bother to listen to him. He rolled his eyes at him and gave him a look that said "I won't help you" and was about to let him go. But Chen Anning was extremely strong and he clung to Gu Nankai and hugged his thighs and refused to let go. A man in his forties was still pulling and kicking people on the ground like a child. Gu Nankai couldn't bear it anymore.
"Chen Anning, look at how embarrassing you are now, tut tut tut..." Gu Nankai looked at the grown man speechlessly, feeling a little amused and helpless.
"Hey! You don't know!" Hearing Gu Nankai say this, a hint of joy flashed across Chen Anning's brows. She immediately got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and directly grabbed Gu Nankai's arm and pulled him towards the desk.
Gu Nankai sighed helplessly, rolled his eyes and was pulled over by him.
"Come and take a look, help me, I can only count on you now." Chen An Ning pushed him hard on the chair and then placed the pile of materials in his hand in front of Gu Nankai.
"I know this matter is not your responsibility, but the second team really has no clue. It has been half a month and there has been no progress in the case. Now, another person has died."
Chen Anning cried to Gu Nankai with a bitter face, anxiety in her eyes.
"Originally, your serious crime team was busy with Xie Lingling's case. Now that the case has finally been solved, you should be given a break. But look at the current situation. If you don't solve the case, it will cause a huge panic."
Gu Nankai automatically blocked out Chen Anning's chattering voice. His senior brother and good friend was good in every way except that he was too impatient. Being forced to sit in this position really made him laugh secretly for a long time. He knew very well that Chen Anning's dream was not to become a leader. He just wanted to be an ordinary person. He didn't expect to be squeezed into Longhai City by others.
Chen Anning often laughed at himself, thinking that this was simply forcing something to happen.
Gu Nankai flipped through Chen Anning's file, his brows furrowed as he scanned each line of text, his eyes occasionally flashing with contemplation. After a long time, he closed the file, coughed lightly, and looked at Chen Anning: "This is a premeditated serial murder case."
Chen Anning nodded rapidly, "Yes! If the murderer is not brought to justice quickly, I'm afraid more people will be killed. Look at the method used, it's too bloody. If it continues, it will cause panic among the citizens. By then, not only will I be in trouble, but our reputation, which we have worked so hard to build, will be ruined."
"Is there any progress on the side of the second team?" Gu Nankai did not say much, but asked Chen Anning directly. Unexpectedly, Chen Anning's eyes drooped after hearing this, and he said with a distressed look: "Alas, we haven't found anything. Those guys are all fresh graduates from the police academy. The higher-ups just randomly transferred them here to make up the numbers. The progress is really disappointing..."
Chen Anning shrugged and gave Gu Nankai a look that said you know what I mean. Gu Nankai closed his eyes and looked at the pile of information: "You have to give them a chance to grow. If this case succeeds, you still have to worry about what the higher-ups will say."
"Oh my big brother, do you think you can do it? It's been almost half a month. You've got the opportunity, so just take it. Otherwise, the pressure is too great. Look at my hair, I'm almost bald." Chen Anning approached Gu Nankai with a worried look on his face, but Gu Nankai pushed him away with disgust.
"Won't Team 2 say anything if this case is given away halfway?" Gu Nankai asked while dodging Chen An Ning.
Chen Anning immediately smiled happily: "How could that be? They are looking forward to it. Let me tell you, I sent those guys from Team 2 to study. I told them to study hard. If they continue to behave like this, I will teach them a lesson."
He looked at Gu Nankai with a smile and said, "Just accept it with confidence. Everyone agrees with it.
Gu Nankai just looked at him speechlessly, but when his eyes fell on the materials, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he nodded: "Okay, the serious crime team will take this case."
Chen Anning's mouth immediately opened to smile, but she looked away from Gu Nankai: "But I have an agreement. If all cases are handled by the serious crime team, other colleagues will have opinions after a while. You'd better give newcomers enough opportunities and trust, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later."
Chen Anning put away his smile and replaced it with a serious expression: "I have thought about this question, but you also know the situation of the Longhai City Criminal Police Brigade. I think your serious crime team will be disbanded sooner or later and then merged with the entire Criminal Police Brigade. By then, the few people you brought out can help me train the newcomers. I think those guys are doing well ."
Gu Nankai didn't care about the merger or not, but when he mentioned those guys, a smile appeared on his face.
