Chapter 481 Rose-Hanging Painting (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Three paintings (Part 1)
As the flames exploded in the police car, the heart-digging case that had once concerned the entire Shengcheng police force was left in a state of panic was left aside in a mysterious manner. This evil fire that seemed to have a hidden story created another charred mystery that could not be solved at all.

The city's summary meeting was held from 7:30 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening. The leaders of various districts involved in the heart-digging case and the front-line police officers of the police stations in charge of the areas where the homicide occurred almost filled the city's auditorium. A few commendations and encouragements were interspersed among the criticism reports with far-reaching intentions. Such a mountain of kindness and power came down impartially, and the expressions on the faces of the leaders present, including Director Gao who had done nothing wrong, were not very good.

Jiang Mo, who was rarely seen, was dressed in a formal suit and followed behind Gu Xing, sitting almost upright in the middle of the auditorium. She had to work very hard to keep her eyelids open, her mind empty as she stared at the leaders who took turns to speak on the podium. She did not dare to yawn or feel sleepy until the end of the meeting. When she heard the closing speech, she sat up straight and clapped her hands, waiting for all the provincial and municipal leaders on the podium who were more interested in seeing than hearing to leave. Only then did she feel relieved, supporting her lower back and stretching awkwardly, then she slumped her shoulders and hunched over the back of a chair in the auditorium.

The case had been investigated day and night until now. Although the final result of this case was somewhat unsatisfactory, the real murderer was brought to justice without a doubt, and the reward was given. Gu Xing did not drag Jiang Mo and Xiao Letian back to the Municipal Bureau again.

He responded to Director Gao's call and took a few steps to the side stage of the auditorium. Holding the half-open wooden door, he turned around and waved to the two followers to go back home. Then he turned around and bumped into the arms of some senior leader. He staggered two steps and raised his hand to salute. Then he clenched his palms in an unusual tense and awkward manner, took a deep breath, and held Director Gao's shoulder, and solemnly hid in the end of the corridor on the west side of the auditorium where few people passed by.

Jiang Mo yawned halfway as she was retreating with her fists clasped together. She inadvertently glanced at the cuff that flashed through the crack of the door. She put her arm around Xiao Letian's shoulder and walked from the auditorium to the parking lot. Only after she fastened her seat belt and put her arm on the steering wheel did she form a vague impression in her empty head - the leader who could get Lao Gao and Xiao Gu to leave for a private chat seemed to be listed in the first three rows of the list of leaders attending the meeting from the provincial department.

Xiao Letian pulled the passenger door and half of his body was leaning into the car. He looked up and saw a familiar figure swaying at the end of the parking lot. "Hey, why is my brother-in-law here today... Oh, yes, the Planning Bureau and the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Office seem to have a meeting today--"

Xiao Letian was just planning to wave and say hello, but when he was stepping on the car door, he felt the phone in his trouser pocket vibrate. He glanced at Qin Zhaoping's request to ask if he could go home for dinner together, and then he turned around and happily ignored his sister who was going to take a detour to send him home, ran a few steps, turned his head and frowned at Jiang Mo, and acted coquettishly for two seconds before running behind Qin Zhaoping, got into the passenger seat, and stretched out his arm to wave at Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo treated Qin Zhaoping as unfamiliar as ever. He only raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Letian and nodded at him. Then he released the brakes and followed the police car that left the scene earlier. He wiped the steering wheel and slowly drove onto the main road.

There is still some time before the concentrated training for the mid-season games, and the club has not yet ended its holiday. Shao Jie has been so idle recently that he has been thinking about "returning to his old job" every day. He goes to the base auntie every now and then to learn skills, and then brings various recipes to Jiang Mo's house. Just two days ago, he was so bored that he copied the exclusive recipe of some internet celebrity and cooked a pot of thick tonic soup, waiting for Jiang Mo to get off work on time one day so that he can cook some noodle soup for her to taste.

Jiang Mo raised her eyes and looked ahead at the crowded road ahead during the rush hour. The phone on the center console beeped, and a message popped up on time from Shao Jie, asking her if she was okay, whether she was off work, and if they could meet for a talk.

Jiang Mo thought it was a bit funny. He picked up his phone and his fingertips were just hovering above the screen to call back. When he looked up, he saw the black car owned by Liang Ji of Shengcheng International, which was almost torn to pieces due to an explosion accident, parked beside the curb in a particularly eye-catching manner, about five or six meters ahead of the two lanes.

Jiang Mo's smile that was about to appear on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously touched the screen. The call was connected for less than two seconds when Shao Jie's voice, hiding a smile, came out of the speaker of the phone and floated above the car: "You're calling back at this time. Can you get off work on time today, Officer Jiang? I'll go right away--" "I was planning to get off work and go home now. But..."

Jiang Mo looked steadily at Liang Ji, who opened the door of the cab, got out of the car and threw the car keys in his hand to Li Li. His brows immediately frowned, and then he looked at Liang Ji's back as he turned around, walked across the sidewalk and walked into the main entrance of the mall. He pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds, then turned his head and stared at the black cars that were already queuing in the opposite direction of the mall to turn around, and then he raised his hand and turned the taillights.

"…I owe you a meal first. Something unexpected happened."

The black car drove out of the downtown center and headed northwest. After moving slowly for half an hour, it finally drove to the outer ring road with light traffic and wide lanes.

Jiang Mo was originally just worried about the "irrelevant" appearance of Li Li near the accident site at the time of the explosion, and he felt something was wrong after driving two miles with the car. He was stuck in the traffic during the rush hour and couldn't move. He hissed and muttered to himself, "I'm here now", when the black car turned into a one-way auxiliary road with few cars on it with a clear purpose and without any hesitation, and rushed up the ramp with ease.

Jiang Mo was stunned for half a second, and when the front of the car hit the intersection, he slammed on the brakes, tilted his head back and checked the signpost in front of the ramp again and again, and laughed a little unexpectedly. She drove slowly to catch up, and watched from a distance that the black car was parked in the parking lot outside the reception hall of the suburban prison. Jiang Mo waited in the car for half an hour with the engine turned off, wondering whether to get out of the car to find out what was going on, when he saw Li Li holding the documents for the meeting application in her hand, sighing as if relieved, and trotting back to the car.

Jiang Mo quietly watched Li Li's car disappear into the dark night, then he drove the car outside the reception hall and ran straight to the reception counter which had been tidied up and ready to go off work. He smiled and greeted the stunned expression of the police officer, straightened his relatively neat uniform, took out his ID and placed it neatly on the counter.

"I want to ask you something. The girl who just came to register for the meeting seems to... come here often?"

"You mean Li Li?" The female police officer nodded, her whole body panicking as if she hadn't regained consciousness yet: "She... comes here often, otherwise it would have been time to get off work, and we wouldn't have helped her with the paperwork and reception."

Jiang Mo frowned: "Who is she applying to visit? What is her relationship with him?"

"Mangzi... his real name is Wang Youjin, he's a gangster." The female police officer nodded, then shook her head a little tangledly: "I'm not sure what the relationship is. They say they are just ordinary friends, but this visit rate... we don't look like it."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"But I can only count the time when the west wind will come, and I don't know that the years are changing secretly."
