Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 71 Devil’s Eye (11)
Today is the weekend. Zuo Li stood on the balcony of her home, looking through the glass window at the long rain like love. She felt that it was extremely cute. It seemed to wash away the soul, and the irritability and blockage in her chest were swept away. After a while the sun came out again, and it began to rain. At this time, the sky was bright, and you could see the blue sky, the dazzling sun, and the clouds containing moisture.There is the sun in the rain, and there is rain in the sun. Thousands of silver threads are floating in the sky, weaving a beautiful brocade, washing the dusty streets, making everything transparent and clean...

At this time, her cell phone rang. When she saw it, it turned out to be Tang Yuan's call. She felt strange: Why did he call me?Does he have another case?She hesitated for a moment and answered the phone. Tang Yuan asked: "Officer Zuo, are you surprised?"

"It's a bit unexpected, just like this sun rain." She wanted to joke, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt a little regretful. Wasn't this a tactful admission that she had a crush on him, or even admired him?
"Sun Rain? Am I that brilliant and magical?" He smiled happily. It was always a good thing to be praised by a beautiful policewoman, even though he had been praised by countless beauties.

"That's about it. Has your company been stolen again?"

"No, I want to treat you to a thank you drink this time."

"Okay, let's call him Xiao Ke."

"Xiao Ke and his classmates went to Changhuan Resort to play, and you were the only one left."

"How about another day?" In fact, Zuo Li was duplicity, because in this long rainy season, spending the weekend alone is too boring. She was just looking for someone to play with her. To be honest, as a criminal police officer, the cases are one after another, and there is no one all year round. When I have a few days of free time, it's a bit ugly, and I don't even have time to fall in love.In Zuo Li's heart, her love for Jiang Yiming can only be a golden dream.

"But I rarely have time..."

"Okay, but I don't know how to drink." Zuo Li was afraid that he would say the words "What a pity". In that case, the entire rare free afternoon would be spent without knowing how.

"Then let's drink coffee. I remember you said you love coffee. Where are you? I'll pick you up?"

"No, I'm on Jianshe Road. There's an 'Old Tree Coffee' there that tastes good and is very close to my home. Let's go there."

When Zuo Li walked into Laoshu Cafe, Tang Yuan had not arrived yet. She saw that it was full of people because today was Sunday and there were many people coming to drink coffee. There might be no seats left. She was about to find one. When she was seated, a welcoming lady wearing a cheongsam came up and asked her if she was Miss Zuo. Zuo Li said she was, and the welcoming lady said: "Our boss has reserved a seat for Mr. Tang, please come with me."

It turned out that Tang Yuan had already called to reserve a seat.And this seat is by the window on the second floor, where you can see the street view outside. The last time she unexpectedly met Guan Meng'er, she was sitting in this seat.This Tang Yuan seems to know that she likes to sit in this seat.Thinking of this, she smiled secretly.

Tang Yuan is here. He is wearing a white Montagnard shirt and trousers. The shirt is spotless and he wears a black and white striped tie. His hair seems to have been carefully taken care of and sprayed with styling water. There is a trace of hair floating from his hair. The light fragrance makes people feel particularly refreshing and sunny.

Tang Yuan was not in a hurry to ask Zuo Li to order something to eat. Instead, he looked at Zuo Li secretly, as if he wanted to know what Zuo Li was thinking.Or are you in a good mood?
Zuo Li was happy to be secretly looked at by a handsome man like this, but felt embarrassed at the same time, so she asked with a smile: "Mr. Tang, do I have beans on my face?"

"No, it's as smooth as white jade."

"Then why are you peeking at me like this?"

"Oh, I'm looking at the difference between when you wear police uniform and when you wear ordinary clothes." Tang Yuan smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, like a crescent moon, with a playful meaning, two rows of white Teeth shine like diamonds, which is a kind of healthy beauty.

"what's the difference?"

"When I wear the police uniform, I look like a heavenly general, and when I wear this clothes, I look like a fairy who has strayed into the world of mortals." "Qizui, I like it best when you say that I look like your girl next door. The heavenly generals and fairies you mentioned are both unworldly. Fireworks, no flesh and blood, how can I be so holy?”

"Okay, let's talk about something else. How about ordering something to eat first." Tang Yuan handed the drink book to Zuo Li.Zuo Li took the order and slowly looked at it. In fact, she was flipping over it and turning a blind eye to the various red wines, foreign wines, and coffees in front of her. It turned out that the afternoon sunlight slanted in from the window and was blocked by the rolled up curtains. The rose placed in the middle of the table could not reach the sun, so Tang Yuan moved the rose to the window so that the rose could enjoy the caress of the sun... This subtle move made Zuo Li's heart tremble. Unexpectedly, There is still a man in the world who pays so much attention to details and knows how to care about women!
Zuo Li hurriedly ordered a cup of mocha coffee. This is the best coffee. Its taste is mellow, smooth, strong and delicate, with the temperament of a lady. It is produced in Mocha, the holy land of coffee in Yemen, and is a favorite of coffee enthusiasts.Tang Yuan saw him ordering this coffee and nodded approvingly. He waved to the service lady in the distance. When the lady came over, he didn't know what he was talking to. He called Zuo Li in a soft voice. Can't hear clearly either.

During this interval, Zuo Li looked at Tang Yuan again: he had fair skin, clear eyes, and a smooth forehead. He exuded melancholy beauty, and his every move was extremely elegant. She had never seen a man who could be so quiet and elegant. No, it should be a boy, because although he has already passed his thirties, he is still single, so he should be called a boy, right?
Zuo Li asked him what he ordered?He said a glass of red wine.I heard that Zuo Li was very interested in red wine. This reminded her of her classmate who married a boss in Bordeaux, France, just for drinking. Maybe she was toasting wine at her manor at this time?

"Did you order the Bordeaux?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is the 1971 Valandro red wine. This wine is produced in the town of Saint-Emilion in the Bordeaux region. It is the best red wine. In the 90s, it was sought after by Robert Parker, the most famous sommelier in the United States. A smash hit, the wine has appreciated by 10% in 60 years! It rose to 2008 euros in the autumn of 290 and will rise to 2013 euros in 688. The annual net appreciation rate is 18.9%..."

Zuo Li listened to Tang Yuan's eloquent words, like the trickling stream of a mountain stream, and the piano music of "My Heart Will Go On", every bit of it seeped into her heart...

All this seems like a dream, yes, maybe it is a dream. She often imagines that she is sitting in the afternoon sun drinking coffee with a boy who is refreshing and quiet, with a hint of melancholy. And this boy must be what she likes, so everything How wonderful it would be, and now the scene she dreamed of is right next to her...

At this time, Zuo Li's phone rang. It turned out that her mother had sprained her foot while going down the stairs and asked her to accompany her mother to see the doctor. Zuo Li had to say sorry to Tang Yuan and left with a bit of reluctance.

At the case analysis meeting, Zuo Li said: "If Lin Lang was a master of wine tasting as Boss Chen said, then Lin Lang's death is indeed suspicious, but there is one thing I don't understand: why Lin Lang drank that There are two possibilities for Moutai containing methanol. One is that he was already drunk and continued to drink when he returned home, because his sense of taste was dull in this case; the other is that he picked up the wine in extreme pain. He just drank hard and didn't feel it was fake wine at all. Drinking hard wine is the easiest way to get drunk. Just when he was dizzy, someone called him, and this call may be very important to him, or someone very close to him."

"The first hypothesis mentioned by Zuo Li does not exist because the alcohol content in Lin Lang's blood is exactly half a kilogram of Maotai. I agree with the second hypothesis. Lin Lang may have used alcohol to drown his sorrows, which led to this result. I suggest you check who the owner of the missed call is and see if he has any motive for murder."

"The missed call to Lin Lang 25 times was from this city. If he wanted to kill Lin Lang, he might still be killed by lightning. How could he take this risk?" Xiao Ke said.

"Won't he go out to fight?" Zuo Li asked.

"If he was out of town, how did he know there was thunder and lightning in our city?" Xiao Ke and Zuo Li were tit for tat.

"Isn't there a weather forecast?"

"The weather forecast only reports that there will be heavy rain and thunder and lightning in our city. It is impossible to say at which time or in which area."

"What if he has an accomplice? His accomplices in the Yangtze River will tell the murderer: Our city is experiencing thunder and lightning and strong winds."

In the end, everyone reached a consensus: Lin Lang's death may have been homicide!However, an accurate judgment can only be made after in-depth investigation.Xiao Ke and Zuo Li went to investigate the cause of Lin Lang's death, while Jiang Yiming and Wu Jiang continued to investigate Ouyang Shui's case.Qu Liping's case and Ouyang Shui's case have been merged, so Jiang Yiming and Wu Jiang have a heavier burden.

Zuo Li and Xiao Ke went to Lin Yihong's house, hoping to find the Maotai carton that Lin Lang had half drunk. It was Lin Yihong who opened the door. What she saw were the other two policemen, with a hint of miserliness on her haggard face. Smile as if that smile were made of gold.
