Chapter 41 Citizen Park
The twenty-first day of the second lunar month is the vernal equinox.
Xu Yiqing woke up early, turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, stretching.
Because the bed was close to the floor-to-ceiling window, the thin gauze curtain was very close to his face, and he could feel his hair being brushed across it.
Looking out through the gauze curtains, it was hazy outside.
After sniffing his nose, Xu Yiqing smelled a slight earthy smell. When he opened the curtains, he realized that it might not be the problem with the curtains.
It started to rain lightly outside.
So Xu Yiqing felt inexplicably happy.
Perhaps because of his unusual personality, Xu Yiqing prefers rainy days to sunny days, especially when it doesn't rain too much and you can stay at home.
He asked Du Yu, and Du Yu didn't like rainy days. He said rainy days would destroy a lot of evidence... Zhou Shi didn't like it either, because he couldn't go out shopping when it rained.
More than a month has passed since the Basia Village fire case was settled, and Jiangcheng has been surprisingly quiet during this period. There were no homicides and very few accidental deaths. This could be regarded as the busiest period of time for Jiangcheng City Forensic Medicine Department in several years.
He took the mobile phone and put it on the bedside. The battery of the mobile phone was low. After unlocking the lock screen, the video was paused.
After the provincial leader mentioned the transfer, Xu Yiqing felt that she might have some anxiety.
He used to look at his phone for a while before going to bed, but recently it has evolved to the point where he can't fall asleep without listening to something, such as cross talk or sketches from earlier years.
Xu Yiqing guessed that her anxiety during this period might be related to the "accomplice" who had no clues.
She has disappeared since leaving that photo, and even the person named He Yunke in the photo has not been found.
The disappearance of He Yunke has become the focus of Du Yu's work, but there are currently no clues. In a few months, it will be one year since the family reported the crime. The crime team actually has no hope for He Yunke's survival, but they don't dare to say it openly.
It would be reasonable if he fled after committing the crime, but He Yunke has a happy family and has just been transferred back to his hometown from other places to serve as the regional director of a multinational company. Anyone can see that he has a bright future.
It is impossible and unreasonable for such an elite to escape incognito.
After getting up and washing up, Xu Yiqing decided to read two books on the balcony and then received a call from Du Yu.
Xu Yiqing asked: "Is there a case?"
Du Yu said on the phone: "Your apprentice should notify you if there is a case. Don't be so nervous. Lao Xu, are you okay today?"
Listening to Du Yu's relaxed and slightly hopeful tone, he knew that he must be making plans for himself again.
Xu Yiqing said helplessly: "What do you want to do again? I really don't want to go to the party. Last winter solstice dinner, they asked me to sing. How can I sing? I also collected a bunch of things...for those with short hands."
< br>
Du Yu smiled: "It's not a party, it's a ribbon cutting."
Xu Yiqing wondered: "The ribbon-cutting is the opening ceremony?"
He had already imagined the scene in his mind of Du Yu holding a pair of scissors and cutting open the red satin tied into a big red flower.
What kind of ceremony can a captain of a criminal police brigade attend?
Du Yu answered his question: "Do you have any impression of a renovated park in the city center? It has been renovated for two or three years."
Xu Yiqing had an impression of the park Du Yu mentioned. He was a native of Jiangcheng. When he was a child, there was a small citizens' park there, which held many children's childhood memories.
As time went by, the park's facilities gradually became obsolete, the greenery was not taken care of, and even some of the statues and buildings were weathered and cracked, making them potentially dangerous.
The park is in urgent need of renovation, but Jiangcheng's limited finances do not support such a large project, so we can only try our best to maintain it and take it one step at a time. Just two or three years ago, the park was suddenly surrounded by iron sheets from the municipal government, saying it was going to be renovated.
What did Xu Yiqing think of: "Is the park renovation finished?"
Du Yu said: "It's not just a renovation, it's like building a new park! The iron sheet was demolished last night, and I'm here now. It's so beautiful that I can't say anything!"
Xu Yiqing asked: "Why were you asked to go to the park to cut the ribbon? Did you go to move cement for them?"
Perhaps because he heard about the renovation of the park he played in when he was a child, Xu Yiqing suddenly became interested and made a joke.
Du Yu replied: "I only found out two days ago that the company that sponsored the municipal government and contracted the park renovation project was the multinational Fumei Group. They wanted to expand the market and open a factory in Jiangcheng, so they spent a lot of money."
< br>
Cooperating with the government can better comply with policies, which is in line with the style of these businessmen.
The renovation of this park, which has special meaning to the people of Jiangcheng, can be seen as a pledge of approval by the Fumei Group, aiming to win over people's hearts and build momentum for itself.
Thinking of this, Xu Yiqing also understood why Du Yu attended the park's ribbon-cutting ceremony.
He is the captain of the Jiangcheng City Criminal Police Brigade. He is the most practical representative of the Jiangcheng Police Department after the director and others, and he can also be regarded as one of the faces of the government.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The police will definitely be needed to maintain law and order at the ribbon-cutting site, so it is reasonable for Du Yu to lead the team there to say a word.
"Then I have no reason to go." Xu Yiqing shook his head: "I am just a forensic doctor, and I am nominally retired."
It's true that Xu Yiqing is Jiangcheng's Bai Yueguang, but it's just that to the Jiangcheng police, he is not as important as Du Yu on the surface.
Although the captain of the criminal police brigade may not sound like a good person, he is at least a second-level police inspector and a full-time deputy. In the Jiangcheng Police Department, he is only lower than Director Fu, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
Du Yu encouraged him: "Just think that we are here to play. I asked Zhou Shi and she will come too... It's settled, Lao Xu, call me at the door and I'll have someone go out to pick you up!"
"Eh...me!"
Before Xu Yiqing could say anything else, the call was hung up.
He was a little helpless, Du Yu always did this without giving him a chance to speak.
After putting a bookmark on the place he was reading, Xu Yiqing closed the book and stood up from the balcony chair, stretching again.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xu Yiqing could already predict that some leaders would say some high-sounding words. Although it was interesting to hear a serious speech from a friend who usually talked and laughed with him, this was not what attracted Xu Yiqing the most.
In addition to Zhou Shi also going, Fumei Group concerned him very much.
If the Fumei Group wants to build a factory in Basia Village, then this company has something to do with the two people in the photo——
He Yunke and Li Cheng.
The sixth sense told me that He Yunke's disappearance was probably part of this series of events.
Even since the case of his younger brother many years ago, a secret spanning several years has connected everyone in the photo together, and he was also involved in it at some point.
This is not something you can hide if you want. Instead of being led by the [accomplice], it is better to try to catch up with her.
So after thinking about it, Xu Yiqing simply took a shower, washed herself, dressed neatly, went out, and took a taxi to the park.
