A food stall in a small alley.

A row of plastic tables and chairs were placed under the sycamore tree.

A parasol was set up, and a stove was placed by the roadside, with the sounds of iron pots bubbling and the smoke from cooking oil mingling together.

Bai Sheng arrived on his bicycle, and after parking it...

Chen's location was immediately pinpointed.

The sheriff arrived a little earlier than him.

Sitting against the wall right now,

Two bottles of ice-cold beer and a plate of peanuts were already placed in front of me.

Bai Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Captain Chen was wearing a dark gray polo shirt.

They weren't wearing uniforms or carrying guns.

He looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Bai is here, come and sit here."

Team Leader Chen waved to him.

His tone was the same as last time at the police station.

Neither hot nor cold

Yet it also carries the casual care that elders show to younger generations.

Bai Shengchao sat down opposite him.

Team Leader Chen pushed a bottle of beer over.

"You'll drink it, right?"

"No, no, no, I'd rather drink Coke."

Bai Sheng took the beer but didn't open it, placing it beside him.

I turned around and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of sugar-free cola.

Team Leader Chen asked a few questions about his recent situation, such as how many classes he had at school and how well he was recovering.

Bai Sheng answered them one by one, his tone quite relaxed, having rehearsed the answers beforehand.

After listening, Captain Chen on the other side nodded and took a sip of his beer.

"Do you plan to pursue postgraduate studies or go straight into the workforce?"

"I haven't decided yet, I'll just muddle along for now, I prefer to get to work right away."

"By the way, what do your parents do?"

"I work in another city and don't come back often."

"I see..."

As Captain Chen was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject.

"...I remember you said that you are a local of Yangcheng, and that you went to high school in Yangcheng, but you did not live on campus during high school."

"Then why are your parents working in another city? Did you live alone during high school?"

Team Leader Chen's eyes were fixed on the opposite side.

Bai Sheng felt the pressure coming from the other side.

did not expect,

Captain Chen actually remembered the casual conversation from that night!

And you remember it so clearly!

Bai Sheng remained calm, after all, he hadn't lied!

“No, no, my parents accompanied me during my high school years, but they sold the house after I finished the college entrance exam,” Bai Sheng explained.

"I see, that's a really good time to sell the house."

Team Leader Chen put the beer bottle on the table, picked up his chopsticks, and took out a peanut.

"Your parents really have good taste."

Bai Sheng understood what Captain Chen meant.

That year, housing prices were at their peak.

The average price of school district housing in Yangcheng has surged to over 30,000 yuan per square meter.

His school district apartment was snapped up in less than a week and sold for a good price.

Since that month, housing prices have been falling all the way down and haven't recovered yet!

Moreover, it's likely that it will never rise back to its original level.

Actually,

Bai Sheng himself found it unbelievable.

Sometimes he wondered if his parents had received some inside information...

But they just said it was good luck.

"By the way, after those two suspects woke up, they were supposed to be transferred to the detention center."

But the police department received a last-minute notification that the case had been taken over by the Federal Department of the Interior.

He paused here, looking into Bai Sheng's eyes.

Federal Ministry of the Interior!

This is a very high-level department.

The Federal Ministry of the Interior, officially the Federal Ministry of the Interior,

It is independent of the local law enforcement system within the federal administrative hierarchy.

Report directly to the highest federal administrative center!

Bai Sheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart and took a big gulp of cola.

The cool, carbonated bubbles rolled down his throat, and his expression relaxed even more.

Bai Sheng placed the aluminum can on the table.

With a slightly childlike tone, he asked, "Captain Chen, do you think they might be sentenced to death?"

"I feel like I'm committing murder with a gun..."

Bai Sheng seemed to be seriously considering a legal question: "In cases like this, which are particularly egregious, could the death penalty be imposed?"

Captain Chen thought for a moment: "The federal criminal law has very strict conditions for the application of the death penalty."

These two people committed serious crimes, but the case has now been taken over by the Ministry of the Interior, and the final verdict is not something our local public security bureau can decide.

However, based on past experience, cases handled by the Ministry of the Interior take a very long time to reach a conclusion.

What kind of answer is that?

Yes or no?

A: or

That really fits the stereotype...

Captain Chen paused here, looking at Bai Sheng, "You're quite interested in law?"

"I'm just curious, after all, I was almost shot to death by them that day, and I want to know how long they will be sentenced in the end."

"I hope they will be executed immediately!"

Team Leader Chen nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

He shoveled the last few peanuts into his mouth, stood up, and patted the dust off his trousers.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

……

The car stopped at the entrance of Cuizhu Garden residential area, and Bai Sheng opened the car door and got out.

Captain Chen leaned out of the car window: "Call me if anything happens."

"it is good!"

Bai Sheng turned around, waved to him, and walked into the residential area.

You sat down with a grandmaster of swordsmanship for a pleasant discussion. Although he didn't explicitly state it, the subtle exchanges and probing in their words constituted an unspoken exchange on the level of swordsmanship. Throughout the conversation, you maintained a clear mind, neither arrogant nor humble, perfectly embodying the swordsman's principle of "maintaining the center."
