Chapter 224 Guo Junshan Receives the First Letter from Chen Shuning
Sunlight streamed through the glass windows onto the desk, which was cluttered with various documents and files.
But there was a corner that was kept clean, and there was a photo frame. In the photo frame was a young girl with two pigtails and a beautiful smile.
Guo Junshan had his feet on the desk, leaning back in his chair, a thin coat covering him, and was sleeping soundly.
Liu Wenge tiptoed in, put the lunch box in his hand on the desk, and before leaving, he secretly glanced at the photo frame.
Qian Kangmei waved and asked in a low voice, "Did you see clearly? Isn't she very beautiful? I tell you, this woman is a perfect match for our team leader."
Liu Wenge nodded and replied, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed there's a photo frame on the team leader's desk. Do you know what it's called?"
Guo Junshan smacked his lips and called out vaguely, "Shuning..."
Qian Kangmei puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Is there anything I can't find out? Chen Shuning, she's beautiful and has such a nice name!"
Liu Wen'ge seemed to be thinking about something, with an ambiguous smile on his face. He asked, "Is it the female comrade that the team leader said he was pursuing during the Chinese New Year?"
Qian Kangmei nodded and said mysteriously, "That's her! I've asked Sister Junyue, and her family agrees. We're just waiting for the team leader to bring her back."
Zhao Guoqing came over and asked, "When will the team leader invite us to the wedding?"
"I'll treat you to a wedding banquet today." Guo Junshan put down his legs and said energetically, "Do you dare to drink?"
Zhao Guoqing shrank his neck, picked up the folder at hand, and said awkwardly: "Team Leader, you are awake. Captain Zheng asked me to deliver the documents. I have to leave first..."
"Hahaha……"
Zhao Guoqing acted too cowardly, and Qian Kangmei laughed very happily.
Guo Junshan sighed, looked at Qian Kangmei, and said disdainfully: "Comrade Qian Kangmei, if you have nothing to do, go to the archives and sort out the files.
You're such a good girl, you're not doing your job, you're just prying into other people's private affairs. If you don't do your job, I'll call your brother!"
This time Qian Kangmei couldn't laugh. She lowered her head and wrote something on a piece of paper. The only sound in the room was the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.
"Wen Ge, you and Kang Mei should write the closing report and send it to Captain Zheng later. I'm going to be out for a while."
Liu Wenge pointed at the lunch box on the table and said, "Team leader, eat before you go out! I went to the cafeteria to queue up for a taxi, and it took me a long time..."
Guo Junshan picked up the lunch box, sat on the chair and started eating voraciously.
Liu Wenge placed the photo in the evidence bag and, looking at the girl's bloody body, sighed, "How pitiful! She was murdered just after reaching adulthood."
Qian Kangmei echoed, "Yes! Killing and dismembering people is truly inhumane. If the team leader hadn't returned in time and solved the case, he would have gotten away."
Liu Wenge shook his head and said, "Who would have thought that the murderer was the victim's stepfather? The father and daughter had a good relationship. The girl went missing, and it was her stepfather who reported the case."
“You can know a person’s face but not his heart.” Guo Junshan put down his chopsticks and said to Qian Kangmei, “Kangmei, you should either go home or move into the company dormitory instead of renting a house outside.”
Qian Kangmei was the only female member of Guo Junshan's team, and her brother was Guo Junshan's classmate.
Guo Junshan usually treats Qian Kangmei as a man, but after this inhumane case happened, he couldn't help but give Qian Kangmei a few words of advice.
Qian Kangmei said in a deep voice: "I understand, Team Leader. I will move back to the dormitory today."
When she first met Guo Junshan, she also had unrealistic thoughts. But those thoughts only lasted for an hour, and Guo Junshan's image in her eyes completely collapsed.
The only time Guo Junshan treated her as a woman was when he met her at the toilet door.
Qian Kangmei was now incredibly lucid, and Guo Junshan wasn't concerned about her life or death. He simply felt he had a good case-handling ability and was afraid something might happen to him that would delay the work of the criminal police team.
Guo Junshan put away his lunch box, dragged out a large package from under his desk, put it on his shoulder and walked out.
Liu Wenge chased after him, shouting, "Team Leader, come back soon! Team Leader Zheng said the victim's family is coming to present a banner today, and you must be there!"
Guo Junshan stopped and was about to curse him for being too long-winded, but then he thought of Chen Shuning and changed his tone and said, "I understand. I'll be right back."
Guo Junshan tied the package to the back seat of his bicycle, got on the bike and headed towards the post office.
He had only been back in Beijing for a month, but in his eyes, this month felt as long as a year. He wanted to abandon everything and return to Chenjia Village, but considering the future, he held back.
He needed a stable job and good performance to get an apartment from his company as soon as possible. Without income and housing, how could he marry Chen Shuning? Was it just a false love?
He is a man and can endure any amount of hardship, but he cannot let Chen Shuning suffer with him.
The post office wasn't far away, just a few turns away. Guo Junshan took the package off his bicycle and walked straight into the post office. When he passed the mailbox, he stuffed an envelope into it.
"Comrade, it's you again?" The postman rode his bicycle out and saw a smile on Guo Junshan's face.
The postman took out a letter from his bag and handed it to Guo Junshan, saying, "This is your letter, sent from Dahe Town."
In the past two weeks, whenever Guo Junshan saw the postman, he would ask if there was any letter for him. Guo Junshan was handsome, so the postman remembered him.
Guo Junshan's arms were shaking slightly. He took the letter excitedly and a bright smile appeared on his face when he saw the beautiful handwriting on it.
"Comrade, thank you! If you receive any more letters from Dahe Town, please let me know as soon as possible!"
The postman smiled and replied, "I see! Where are you sending these things? Dahe Town?"
Guo Junshan carefully put the letter away and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm sending something over there. Comrade, you go ahead and do your work. I have to rush back to work after sending it!"
After mailing the package, Guo Junshan found a quiet corner and opened the envelope. This was the first letter Chen Shuning had ever sent him, and every word was filled with a hint of longing.
The letter described what had happened to Chen Shuning since Guo Junshan left. Although they were all trivial matters, Guo Junshan found them very heartwarming.
They are like lovers who have been in love for a long time, sharing their lives with each other seriously. Even if they just eat a piece of candy today, they must let each other know, only in this way can the candy become sweeter.
Guo Junshan read it over and over again, forgetting the time.
Until the cleaner came over and chased him away: "Comrade, please move to another place. I have swept the whole street, except for your place."
Guo Junshan came back to his senses, glanced at his watch, and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry to trouble you!"
As he said this, he quickly got on his bike and left the post office.
Liu Wenge was walking in circles at the entrance of the criminal police team, muttering to himself, "Didn't you say you'd be back soon? The victim's family is here, but the team leader is nowhere to be seen! Where has he been?..."
"jingle--"
The bicycle bell rang clearly, and Guo Junshan appeared in Liu Wenge's sight.
Liu Wenge jumped up and down, saying happily, "Team Leader, you're finally back! Hurry up! The victim's family has been waiting for you for a long time."
