Chapter 9 The unexpected meeting
The weather in Southern Province is warm and cold in April.
The spring rain suddenly fell to the earth last night and fell until after nine o'clock in the morning, without stopping.
On weekends of windy and rainy weather, the people of Xingcheng City don’t have any important things to do and will not go out for a walk. They would rather stay at home and watch TV or play a few mahjong.
On the cold street, there was a tall and thin young man holding an umbrella, wading in the rain, lifting his long legs, and taking big steps forward. The raindrops as big as beans fell next to his white sneakers, splashing water, wetting his trouser legs.
The young man came straight to the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The guards here are naturally incomparable to the security guards in the villa area yesterday.
"What are you doing?" The guard stopped the visitor and looked at the young man curiously, "Just go to the police station near you to handle ordinary things! This is the office building of the municipal bureau, and it does not handle ordinary affairs!"
"Hello, Uncle, I'll find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" The guard also calmed down when he saw that he was polite.
"I'll look for Chen Lin."
"Which Chen Lin?"
"Chen Lin from the Economic Investigation Brigade."
"Oh? What are you asking for her?"
"I am her cousin, and my aunt asked me to bring her something."
"What?"
"A file bag was left at home in the morning. She called home. My aunt was playing mahjong and was too lazy to move. She asked me to help deliver it. Look, it was this bag. There was a note on it, and I don't know what it was inside. Uncle, do you want to check it?"
"This? No need."
"Uncle, why don't you send it for me? I'm too lazy to go in. I have to go back to do my homework!" The person who came was trying to show off was suppressed.
"I can't leave. You can register and go in!"
"Thank you uncle."
"It's so rainy, it's hard for you to come! Write down your name, ID number, and contact information on this book - do you have an ID number?"
"I did it. My cousin helped me do it."
"Gu Mingjun? Why have I never heard Chen Lin talk about having a cousin like you?"
"Maybe you are not very familiar with her yet? Who always mentions her cousin for nothing? Do you think so?"
"Haha, too! Okay, go in!"
Gu Mingjun thanked him, held an umbrella and walked into the courtyard covered in thick shade.
The yard was so quiet that only the sound of rain hitting leaves could be heard, and few people walked.
There is an unknown flower tree in the flower bed, full of snow-white flowers. After being baptized by the rain, it looks even more delicate and tender, attracting people to take a look at it.
Gu Mingjun doesn't know Chen Lin.
But he knew that the person who handled the financial case of the welding rod factory was Chen Lin.
In his previous life, when this major incident happened at home, he was still a little confused and did not participate in the incident.
But he later read the report and heard people talk about the case.
There are several names he still remembers.
Chen Lin is one of them.
Gu Mingjun found the office floor where the Economic Investigation Brigade was located.
He looked at the signs on the door frame, stood in front of an office, and reached out to knock on the door.
The door was open, with a few people inside, some were calling, some were looking at documents, and two lesbians were talking about something.
Hearing the knock on the door, one of the lesbians looked at the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'll look for Chen Lin."
"Are you looking for Chen Lin? What's the matter?"
"It's very important, I have to talk to her in person."
When the others in the office heard this, they burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"
The lesbian smiled sweetly: "I am Chen Lin! You don't know me? What are you asking me for?"
Gu Mingjun looked at her eyes and was slightly surprised: "Hello, Officer Chen, can we talk alone?"
"If you have anything, just say it here. Are you here to report the case? Come and sit in." Chen Lin was wearing a straight police uniform. Because she was in the office, she didn't wear a police cap. She was tied behind her head and wrapped it with a hair net. It was refreshing and tidy, like the flower tree in the yard outside, clean and beautiful.
Gu Mingjun glanced at the people in the office and said, "I will only talk to you."
Chen Lin was not surprised to see it, so she picked up a notebook, then picked up a ballpoint pen, and pointed to the side: "Come with me."
The others are busy, and don't care about them.
Gu Mingjun followed Chen Lin and walked into a small house next to him.
This is a separate office, which is so simple that it is just a table and two chairs, and nothing else.
Chen Lin lifted another chair from behind the table, placed the two chairs face to face, and then greeted Gu Mingjun: "Sit down and talk."
This detail gave Gu Mingjun infinite favor.
It made him feel that Chen Lin is a good police officer who can be trusted.
In fact, the development and investigation of financial cases in later generations of welding rod factories also benefited from this person.
This is also the reason why Gu Mingjun came to find her.
"Thank you Sister Chen." Gu Mingjun nodded and changed his name naturally.
People are wandering around the world, and etiquette is the first knife.
Everyone loves sweet mouths, and everyone praises them with a smile.
"Are you still a student? A high school student? I won't take advantage of you if I call me sister."
"Sister Chen, my name is Gu Mingjun, I am a senior high school student at the No. 15 Middle School of the Municipal No. 15 Middle School. This is my ID card."
"No need to look at these. Why are you looking for me?"
"Last evening, a vicious murder occurred in Mingzhu Community in our city. Sister Chen, do you know?"
"Know!"
"I'm an eyewitness."
"Is that so? Then you have found the wrong person, you should go to the criminal police brigade. I am in charge of economic cases here. Let's do this, I'll take you there?"
"I know this is the Economic Investigation Brigade, and the person I am looking for is you."
"Do you know me?"
"I've heard of it."
"Who heard of me?"
"It's a long story-" Gu Mingjun didn't want to be led by her. She changed the subject and went straight to the point, saying, "Yesterday's murder case is related to an economic case."
Chen Lin's eyes were very big and very lively. Her eyes, which were clearly distinguished by black and white, seemed to be flowing in the blink of an eye.
She stared into Gu Mingjun's eyes and did not speak.
Gu Mingjun looked at her calmly: "The deceased was the cashier of the welding rod factory, named Zhou Ye. The man who killed him was her lover, but he was not the only lover. This murder case was not a love murder case."
Chen Lin said without comment: "We do not have the responsibility of criminal cases, but we will deal with them."
Gu Mingjun said seriously: "Zhou Ye's death is famous behind it, involving a six-million-dollar financial case in the welding rod factory."
"Oh? How did you know?" Chen Lin's long eyelashes, like a butterfly's wings, gently flapped twice. The right thumb holding the pen pressed the tip of the pen, and the ballpoint tip popped out automatically.
She opened the notebook, and the tip of the pen touched the paper, but her eyes were still looking at Gu Mingjun.
Gu Mingjun's calmness was completely beyond Chen Lin's perception of a teenager of his age.
"At the first meeting after the New Year, a resolution was passed, and 6 million was allocated to carry out technical transformation and equipment upgrade of the welding rod factory. After consultation and negotiations among all parties, the welding rod factory and Donghai Machinery Trading Company reached an agreement and completed the transaction in March to purchase a batch of imported equipment and technical information at a total price of 6 million."
Chen Lin was slightly surprised. She also came from high school and had come into contact with countless high school students. The conversation and expression of the high school student in front of her gave people a very different feeling. It seemed that the president of the university student union who was good at socializing and talking was speaking!
Gu Mingjun added: "The city has registered these things, you can tell once you check them."
"You continue to say, I've recorded it." Chen Lin put away her previous scatteredness and contempt and began to face up to this sudden meeting.
Chapter completed!
