146, Abnormal Self-Redemption

Jiang Ning was not happy to be forced by her mother to go on a blind date again, especially the dress that just reached the middle of her thighs. She felt like pulling it from time to time to prevent exposure.

Compared with wearing these beautiful but expensive clothes, she felt more relaxed and comfortable with sports shoes and casual shirts.

The blind date was scheduled for 7:30 in the evening. Because she didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging, Jiang Ning arrived at the western restaurant at 7 o'clock. She didn't order anything and just sat there waiting for her blind date.

In Jiang Ning's opinion, it would be good to be single for a lifetime if she couldn't find her ideal partner, but in the eyes of the older generation, this idea was wrong, especially when Jiang Ning was 29 this year and was about to enter the 30th mark, her marriage was simply the topic of concern to all the aunts and uncles, and they wanted to arrange three blind dates for her every day so that she could get married before she turned 30.

She didn't understand. The times were changing so fast. Her own mother, aunts, and aunts were all educated. Why did they still insist on the old idea that women were worthless when they got older, and that it was difficult for them to have children and no one wanted them after a certain age? It seemed that as long as a man was willing to marry her, they would tie her hands and feet and send her away.

The one she had a blind date with before was 32 years old, had a hukou from another place, had no house, no car, and no savings. It was said that she had a good job, working in a foreign company, and had a monthly salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

This was introduced by her aunt, who told her not to be too picky, otherwise she would become an old maid and couldn't get married.

Jiang Ning was not a vain woman, and she didn't care much about houses and cars, but a 32-year-old man who had no savings at all while having a decent salary was a big problem in itself.

There was another one, 36 years old, divorced, with a daughter who followed his ex-wife. There were four houses in the family. The man didn't work and lived on the rent of the house given by his parents. The reason for divorcing his ex-wife was that his ex-wife had given birth to a daughter and refused to have another one, and the other party wanted a son. This one was introduced by Jiang Ning's aunt.

She didn't understand how bad she was in the eyes of her relatives. Even if she couldn't find a partner at the age of 29, there was no need to rush and push all men to her.

After all, she was not bad looking and was a flower in the criminal police team. Why was she like a supermarket product that was about to expire in the eyes of her relatives? It was a big sale.

Thinking about the blind date this time, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh. At least he was healthy before, but this time it was even worse. He was introduced to a mute.

Jiang Ning had a sense of justice and was certainly not the kind of woman who looked down on disabled people. She just wondered, everyone in her family knew how much she couldn't stop talking, and they introduced her to a man who couldn't talk. Was it to suffocate her or to annoy the blind date who couldn't talk?

But apart from this, other aspects seemed to be pretty good. She was an elementary school music teacher. In Jiang Ning's mind, teachers were all gentle. Because she got into trouble these days, she was transferred from the criminal police team to a department that handles some civil disputes. She saw too many cases of domestic violence and fighting, and suddenly felt that it was also important to find a man with a gentler temper.

After all, she has a red belt in Taekwondo and a black belt in Jeet Kune Do. If her future husband wants to abuse her, and she accidentally beats him half-disabled, that would be bad.

When Jiang Ning was thinking about it, Yan Chu came over.

"Hello."

Jiang Ning was thinking, and didn't notice Yan Chu sitting opposite her. It wasn't until Yan Chu handed the tablet he carried with him to Jiang Ning that she realized Yan Chu's existence.

"Hello."

Jiang Ning raised her head, and Yan Chu just kept smiling. With handsome features and a gentle and amiable temperament, when he only looked at you, even a female criminal police officer like Jiang Ning, who was full of feminism, couldn't help blushing and heartbeating.

Is this really the blind date chosen by her relatives?

He looks better than those stars on TV.

"Your name is Yan Chu, right? My name is Jiang Ning. I was a criminal police officer before, but I was transferred to the public security police some time ago. But sooner or later, I will be transferred back to the criminal police team."

Jiang Ning's dream is to be a criminal police officer who fights criminals. She knows that this line of work is risky. There are many criminal police officers who sacrifice their lives every year. In comparison, the work of the public security police is more stable, and it is not like the criminal police team. Sometimes they can't close their eyes for several nights when they encounter a big case.

She knew that her parents were very happy when they heard that she was transferred to the public security police. Although they didn't say it, they always felt that she couldn't find a partner at such an old age, and it had something to do with her job.

I don't know what her mother said to him when she introduced each other. What if he came for her stable job as a public security police, but she ended up going to work as a criminal police officer, which would be a bit sorry for the little brother in front of him.

"Being a police officer is a great job."

Yan Chu typed a line of words on the tablet and handed it to Jiang Ning: "When I was a child, my dream was to become a drug enforcement police officer, but unfortunately my physical condition did not allow it."

Jiang Ning was quite happy that someone could understand her. In the past, those blind dates always heard about her work and were dissatisfied. Many of them hoped that she would resign or transfer to a safer department and focus more on her family. Every time she faced those people, Jiang Ning resisted the urge to swear.

This blind date is more reliable than the previous ones. This is Jiang Ning's first feeling.

Perhaps because he had been frustrated too many times before, Jiang Ning even thought that he might as well try to be with the young man in front of him?

With this idea in mind, Jiang Ning was less sharp in the subsequent exchanges. In addition, Yan Chu was indeed a person who was easy to get close to. One talked and the other typed, and there was no obstacle in the communication between them.

Facing such a person who could easily lower one's guard, Jiang Ning couldn't help but tell Yan Chu about all the things that bothered her recently, as long as they were not cases or disputes that needed to be kept confidential, including the domestic violence case that she had just handled not long ago.

"All those who commit violence in family relationships should be punished."

Looking at Yan Chu's answer, Jiang Ning felt that she had found a soulmate. It should be like this. Obviously, the law also has corresponding rules for domestic violence, but because of various reasons, the enforcement is poor, and sometimes the victims themselves retreat, allowing the perpetrators to go unpunished.

The more they talked, the more speculative it became. For the first time, Jiang Ning felt that the world could pass so quickly. It was not until her mother called to inquire about the blind date that Jiang Ning took the opportunity to check on the phone screen and realized that more than two hours had passed.

In the end, Yan Chu sent Jiang Ning home. The two exchanged numbers and other communication methods. Although they didn't know whether they could become a couple as their elders expected, they could at least be friends.

"Ningning, what do you think of the young man you went on a blind date with this time?"

Mother Jiang had just been leaning on the balcony of her house and looking out. Her daughter came back in a private car. It was probably the boy who went on a blind date with her daughter this time. It seemed very promising.

"The child has really good other conditions. Although he can't speak, he has a house and a car, a stable job, doesn't smoke, drink, or go to nightclubs, and is obedient and honest. Have you seen the real person? If he is 80% as good as in the photo, he will be a handsome boy. The children you have in the future will inherit the genes of their parents, and they will definitely be handsome."

Mother Jiang really thinks her daughter is too old. She is 29 years old. Friends of the same age as her daughter have already married and had children. It's not that she, as a mother, doesn't love her daughter, but that the world is prejudiced against women. Have you seen a man in his thirties or forties marrying a girl in her early twenties, but have you ever seen a woman in her thirties or forties marrying a man in his early twenties?

"And Yan Chu's parents died early, so you don't have to consider the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when you marry him. Yan Chu's aunt said that this kid is good at washing and cooking, and he is also a music teacher in elementary school. He has a lot of free time. When you are busy with your career, he can take care of the family. He is a perfect match for you."

Yan Chu's blind date was picked by Jiang's mother herself. She also found out that her relatives are unreliable. It's better for her to find a partner for her daughter.

"That's good, mom, you don't have to worry about my business. Anyway, I promise that I will get married before I am 35 years old."

Jiang Ning went back to the house to get a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. When she finished taking a shower, Yan Chu would be home at about the same time, so they could continue chatting then.

"35, you kid, I'm telling you, it's hard for him to have children if he gets married at such an old age, you..."

Jiang's mother was nagging outside the bathroom. Jiang Ning turned on the shower and took a shower while humming a little tune. He ignored the nagging words and forgot them. He had been used to being nagged for many years and had long lost interest in them.

# Serial murder case suddenly appeared in Linjiang City #

At ten o'clock in the evening, many news websites suddenly uploaded such shocking news.

There were three victims in the news report.

One of them was the victim Zhao Moumou, who died half a year ago. The cause of death was determined to be suicide.

Zhao Moumou was a senior executive of a company. He was fired by his original company just because he was exposed for embezzling public funds. The company still had some feelings for this former employee and did not prosecute him. It just asked him to make up the embezzled money.

But the industry already knew about Zhao Moumou's embezzlement of public funds. After that, he applied for several companies, but all ended in failure.

It seems that because of his career failure, Zhao Moumou had a desperate thought and jumped from the top floor of his old house and committed suicide.

His twelve-year-old son was downstairs at the time. He saw his father's brain smashed in front of him and fell into a bloody mess. He was greatly shocked and mentally unstable for a time.

After Zhao Moumou's death, his wife sold the only old house left in Linjiang City and took her son back to her hometown. No one knows how they are doing now.

Another victim is Huang Moumou, who died three months ago. At that time, the police determined that he also drowned accidentally.

Huang Moumou is the owner of a small company. He has the habit of jogging in the morning. One day, he was found drowned beside the artificial lake where he often jogged in the morning. His property was not stolen, so robbery and murder were ruled out. There were no other scars on Huang Moumou's body. The autopsy results were normal. After excluding the murder time of other suspects who had a grudge with Huang Moumou, his death was classified as an accident.

There is another victim, Wang Moumou, who is currently under investigation by the police, but the results have not yet been announced. In the news reports, this drunken man who fell down in front of his house may also be classified as a suicide by the police.

Originally, these were three unrelated cases, but they caused a big stir because of three photos.

One was a photo taken by someone when Zhao Moumou committed suicide by jumping off a building. After zooming in, it can be clearly seen that there is a hand behind Zhao Moumou.

One is a photo of Huang Moumou when he was drowning. In the picture, when Huang Moumou was struggling, a tightly covered figure was sneaking past the drowning Huang Moumou.

There is also a picture that the police just obtained, showing two figures illuminated by street lights on the night of Wang Hudong's death.

The existence of the first two photos completely overturns the previous facts of suicide and accidental death given by the police. Including the third photo, these three people are most likely to be murdered.

Originally, each individual case might not make a splash when posted on the Internet, but it happened that it involved two cases of mistrials by the police, which stirred up the already conflicting relationship between the police and the public, and those who accused the police of failing to handle the case. One after another stood up and spoke, demanding an explanation from the police.

But even if these three cases are all accidental homicides, they are not necessarily the work of serial murderers, right?

At this point, the news websites have not yet released the next draft, which makes netizens a little confused. Many people have begun to investigate the identities of the three people, trying to find out some commonalities.

"What's going on! How did this photo get spread?"

That night, not long after this news appeared on the Internet, the Linjiang City Criminal Police Brigade gathered together. These three cases were all handled by them. Now it has been revealed that there were such big flaws in the first two cases. , if the murderer is not found, all of them will have to be punished, and for the police, this will be a major stain.

Especially the third photo. This photo is an important clue in Wang Hudong's case. When they obtained this photo from the person who secretly took the photo, they forced him to delete the backup and negatives. How did the media get this photo now? A photo? This shows that there are huge loopholes in their police system.

"It said above that we should be given half a month to find the murderer, otherwise not only me, but all of us, will be waiting to be punished."

The city bureau chief had a headache as to why this happened when he was about to retire.

After a brief discussion, everyone returned to their posts and hurriedly looked through the files on the two previous cases.

"Let Jiang Ning come back."

The director said to Liu Feng, time is running out now and every police resource is precious.

"Yes." Liu Feng nodded. Even if the director didn't say anything, he would still have to ask for the person back.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Ning and Yan Chu were chatting happily when Liu Feng notified them and quickly put on their clothes and rushed to the police station.
