Chapter 212 The Robber Who Wasn't Caught
Qi Lei walked into the room and checked on Lu Cheng.
Like all little kids, playing games is the only way to quiet him down.
Lu Cheng sat on the floor, holding the game console in both hands. His phone was jumping flexibly on the buttons. He was playing a parkour game, muttering to himself while playing.
"What level have you reached?" Qi Lei sat down next to him.
"I'm so angry. I can't get past this level." Lu Cheng said angrily and put down the game console in his hand. He failed again.
"Not bad, you've made it to level 20." Qi Lei took the game console and took a look at it. "This level isn't very difficult. I'll teach you."
"Really?" Lu Cheng's eyes lit up. "Brother, can you help me call?"
Seeing this harmonious scene on the sofa outside, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't expect Qi Lei to be so good at taking care of children.
Mother Lu treated them as colleagues who came to express their condolences. Every New Year and other holidays, people from the office would come to express their condolences. She kept talking to Su Xiaoxiao about the situation at home, and when she mentioned Lu Cheng's ex-wife, she was filled with hatred.
"You said that when you got married, you swore to each other that you would be together forever, but it has only been a short time, and Lu Cheng has been ill for less than a year, and she is already asking for a divorce. In fact, she has long disliked our Lu Cheng. She disliked him because he was a household registration policeman and only got a small salary, unlike other policemen who had benefits. She also said that being handsome was useless and she disliked him in various ways.
She always finds fault with him and quarrels with him. Lu Cheng's illness is just an excuse. She has actually already fallen in love with someone else."
Su Xiaoxiao listened silently, agreeing from time to time. She knew that Mother Lu just wanted to vent.
As they were chatting, there was suddenly a noise outside the door. Mother Lu went out to open the door, and Su Xiaoxiao also stood up.
Unexpectedly, she knew the person who came in. It was Zhang San, whom she met on the road just now. He was holding a cloth bag with some vegetables in it.
"Zhang San, the job you mentioned is here?"
When Zhang San saw Su Xiaoxiao, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
"Officer Su, what a coincidence, you are also here at Lu Cheng's house."
"Officer Su, you know each other. I asked him to help take care of Lu Cheng. I can't handle it alone." Lu's mother explained.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She understood very well that it would be difficult for Lu's mother to take care of a grown man like Lu Cheng alone, so it was right to ask someone to help.
Moreover, Lu Cheng's family can still afford it with their current conditions, but they don't know what to do when Lu's mother gets older.
While playing games with Lu Cheng, Qi Lei asked him casually if he remembered how he was injured and hospitalized three years ago.
Lu Cheng curled his lips, took the game console from him, and looked unhappy.
"You adults are really weird. Why do you always ask me about things that happened three years ago? I was only four years old three years ago. What can a four-year-old kid remember? I was injured and hospitalized because you adults were careless and didn't take good care of me. Why don't you ask my mom?"
She rolled her eyes at him.
It seems that he really only remembers that he is a seven-year-old child.
“Do people always ask you about this?”
"Yes, you come here every year, and you ask every time you come."
Strangely, Qi Lei heard something wrong in his words.
After chatting for a while, Qi Lei and Su Xiaoxiao said goodbye and came out. As soon as they reached the door, they met Zhao Suo, who also came to see Lu Cheng.
When he saw them, Chief Zhao said that if he had known they were coming today, he would have gone with them.
As he was talking, Lu Cheng, who heard the noise, suddenly ran out of the room, grabbed Qi Lei's hand and wouldn't let him go, and rolled on the ground, demanding that he play games with him, and no one could stop him.
"This kid has gone crazy again." Mother Lu dragged Lu Cheng back embarrassedly. Chief Zhao also came to help, but Lu Cheng was very strong and held Qi Lei's arm tightly and refused to let go.
Qi Lei is half a head taller than Lu Cheng. He looked down into Lu Cheng's eyes and spoke seriously.
"I have something to do today, so I really can't play with you, but I promise I'll come and play with you in a few days, okay?"
"Then you have to make a pinky promise with me."
"it is good."
Qi Lei stretched out his finger and pinky-pinched with Lu Cheng, and then Lu Cheng let go of his hand and followed Lu's mother back into the house, looking back every few steps.
Several neighbors leaned their heads out to watch the farce happening here, but no one said anything. It was obvious that this kind of farce was not the first time it had happened.
Zhao Suo sighed, "I'm sorry, Captain Qi, I made a fool of myself as soon as I got here."
"It's okay, he's just a kid now."
"Captain Qi, are you looking for Lu Cheng because of the case three years ago?"
"Yes, there were instructions from above to clean up old cases. He was the one who found Zhao Meng's body, so we are also doing routine visits to see if there are any new clues. However, it is such a pity that Lu Cheng has become like this."
"Who said he wasn't? He did well in the police academy, and I had high hopes for him. I had thought that after he trained in the household registration department for a year or so, he would be transferred back to do criminal investigation. But then something happened. This kid is honest, and he went after the suspect alone without even waiting for backup."
"Does Director Zhao come to see him often?"
"You should come and see him a few times a year to see if there's anything you can do to help. You've seen his family's situation, it's not easy for his mother."
Zhao said this with a sigh, a look of reluctance on his face.
After leaving Lupin's house, the two walked back along the alley to get the car. Qi Lei was very silent on the way, as if he was thinking about something.
After getting in the car, Su Xiaoxiao started to ask.
"Deputy Qi, did you find something wrong?"
"Something is indeed wrong. I can't put my finger on what it is, but I feel like everything is wrong."
"I have the same feeling. You mentioned Chief Zhao. When we asked him for the address, he didn't say he would come over. But when we came over, he came over too. It gave me a very special feeling."
The two men returned to the office. Originally, they had only gone to Lu Cheng for routine inquiries, wanting to see if there were any other unusual circumstances when he discovered Zhao Meng's body. But now they both felt that Lu Cheng's case was not simple, so they needed to investigate it in detail.
Qi Lei asked Li Yan to check the case of Lu Cheng's injury and found out that the robber who injured Lu Cheng had not been caught.
According to the victim's description at the time, the robber was a man wearing a sweatshirt and a helmet. His face was completely covered, leaving only his two eyes exposed.
She was walking on the road when she heard the sound of a motorcycle behind her. She looked back and saw that the motorcycle was going very fast, so she quickly moved to the side. As a result, when the man passed by her, he reached out to grab her bag. She was holding the bag in her hand at the time and was dragged on the ground for a while.
Lu Cheng happened to pass by there. He ran over, helped her up, asked her to call the police, and then chased after her.
She also called the police according to his instructions, and when other police officers arrived, they found Lu Cheng unconscious in an alley.
