Detective with Mind-Reading Powers in the '90s

In 1991, Zhao Xiangwan entered Hunan Police Academy, but a late-night knock on the door threw her into a chaotic family drama.

When her eleven-year-old adopted sister, Meimei, lost her younge...

Chapter 62 Qiao Mo

Chapter 62 Qiao Mo

◎No patient dares to ask me to get out◎

Thinking of Cao Deren's flirting with Ji Zhao in the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Xiangwan quickly raised his hand and pressed Ji Zhao's head down, then moved the small table to the corner, hiding the figures of the two people in the crowded restaurant.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Zhao Xiangwan quietly observed Cao Deren's movements.

Hu Aiyu obviously recognized Cao Deren. She came forward with a smile, quickly cleared a small table, put beer and peanuts on it, and asked, "Boss Cao, how many people are there today? Do I arrange it or do you order the dishes?"

Cao Deren was fat and afraid of heat. He took the ice beer and gulped it down. After a burp, he said, "For the three of us, serve two cold dishes first. You can arrange the rest. I'll wait for my brother and sister-in-law."

Hu Aiyu agreed and went downstairs to make arrangements. When she passed by Zhao Xiangwan's table, she stopped subconsciously.

Zhao Xiangwan slightly bent his waist, stretched out his index finger, put it to his lips, and gestured a "Shh——"

Thinking of Zhao Xiangwan's identity, Hu Aiyu immediately understood and nodded to indicate that she had received it. In order to cover up Zhao Xiangwan's table, Hu Aiyu even dragged the beer box that was a meter high in the corner to form a tricky angle.

——As long as Zhao Xiangwan casually leaned his head out, he could see the situation at Cao Deren's table, but unless Cao Deren stood up to take a look, he would not notice Zhao Xiangwan's table at all.

Zhao Xiangwan mouthed, "Thank you."

Hu Aiyu smiled and waved her hands, then glanced at Ji Zhao. She saw that he was lowering his head, holding the soda bottle in both hands, drinking silently through a straw. His eyelashes were long and thick, and they blinked, casting green shadows on his eyelids. He was so quiet that one could not feel the heat of summer.

[Is this man also a policeman? He looks like a college student. He is pretty, but he seems a little strange. He doesn't like to talk, or he can't talk? Is he deaf? Oh, what a pity! Is the policewoman here to have dinner with her boyfriend, or is she on duty? Why is she hiding from this boss Cao? Is there something wrong with him?]

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Hu Aiyu's mind. However, as a business person, she quickly adjusted her mood, greeted the guests skillfully, and busily shuttled between the seven or eight tables of guests.

The potato pancakes were served, golden brown, sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and filled with fragrance. Zhao Xiangwan scooped a piece from Ji Zhao's bowl and said, "Try it. It's delicious."

Ji Zhao always ate whatever was given to him, and he was not picky about food. He nodded, and seeing that the fan-shaped potato pancake looked like pizza, he simply grabbed it and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, his eyes lit up.

[It's delicious, dry and fragrant, with a soft tip and crispy edges. No wonder you like it. ]

Seeing Ji Zhao eating happily, Zhao Xiangwan felt a sense of joy in feeding him and looked at him with a smile.

"Have you taken note of the restaurant's layout and crowd?"

[Yes, I've made a note of it.]

"Can you draw it when you get back?"

【Can.】

Ji Zhao's determination and casualness made Zhao Xiangwan's heart completely calm down.

Ji Zhao could remember all the scenes at a glance, so he couldn't fall behind. Zhao Xiangwan lowered his head, held his breath, and tried to catch the various sounds heard by the mind-reading technique.

There is a slight difference between the sound of a normal person's voice and the voice in one's heart, a bit like the difference between normal speech and the voice on the phone.

The inner voice has a slight tremor that ordinary people cannot hear. Zhao Xiangwan has also heard it many times before he gradually got used to it. As long as he listens carefully, he can clearly distinguish it.

[What do you mean he's treating me to a meal? I guess it's just because the weather is too hot and he doesn't want to cook at home. He's so lazy~]

[It really hurts to spend more than ten dollars at once. 】

This is the sweet whisper of a young couple at the next table.

[Orange-flavored ice soda is so delicious. I wish my dad could treat me to some every day.]

[Mingming's homeroom teacher is so pretty. I'll go to school more often in the future. Hehe.]

This is the inner monologue of a father and son at the next table.

[Damn, that stinky woman surnamed Gu has a lot of trouble. Brother Fan insisted that I wait in the hotel, saying that she wanted to put on a show for her colleagues. What are you looking at? In my opinion, women are useless except for giving birth to children! If I don't beat her up every day, she will be obedient. The one in my house would have been beaten into submission by me long ago. She can go home and be the boss every day. How cool! ]

This voice... is Cao Deren's!

Finally finding out what Cao Deren was thinking, Zhao Xiangwan listened more attentively.

Ji Zhao showed great sensitivity at this time. Both times Hu Aiyu brought the dishes to the table, he quickly took the bowls and gently placed them on the table, for fear of disturbing Zhao Xiangwan.

Cao Deren was waiting alone by the dining table, drinking beer from a bottle with peanuts and cold cucumbers. He was bored, so his inner mumblings were particularly loud, and Zhao Xiangwan could hear them clearly.

[Don't tell me, Brother Fan found Gu Wenjiao, which was like installing a antenna for our case. We can know everything about the police station. If Gu hadn't come back to tell us, we wouldn't have known that there was a half fingerprint left on the door frame at the scene. Zhou Jinfeng, that damn woman, was shot in the head by me. Before she died, she actually pulled off Ruan Wu's gloves, which scared Ruan Wu so much that he hurriedly picked them up and put them on. I guess the fingerprints were left at that time.]

It's him! It's them!

Zhao Xiangwan's heart began to beat rapidly, almost jumping out of his throat. Now he finally knew the answer, and all his guesses were settled. Zhao Xiangwan wanted to jump out immediately, and pushed Cao Deren to the ground, shouting: "Cao Deren, you are in trouble!"

It was him, it was him who shot Zhou Jinfeng to death! It was him who shot Zhou Jinfeng to death!

Ruan Wu? Zhao Xiangwan remembered that Gu Wenjiao once mentioned that in addition to Cao Deren, Fan Hongwei also had a younger brother named Ruan Wu who often came to visit him. However, he hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know where he went.

Fan Hongwei, Cao Deren, and Ruan Wu - the murderers of the three hospital massacres.

The murderer who had been hiding in the crowd for ten years was finally found out by Zhao Xiangwan at one moment.

Where did Ruan Wu go? He is the key to this case. As long as we find him and compare his fingerprints, we can find the real murderer.

Zhao Xiangwan didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Cao Deren's recollections. His face started to get hot from holding his breath, and shivers rose from his feet to his head.

Under extreme tension, my mind suddenly went blank and all the sounds became extremely far away.

Zhao Xiangwan's world suddenly became extremely quiet, a feeling she had never experienced before. Her mind had been filled with noise because of her mind-reading skills, but now when she tried to listen, the sound suddenly disappeared!

Countless popped thoughts up in my mind.

——What should I do? I can't hear his inner voice anymore.

——No, we must not let them run away!

——The economic investigation operation will have to wait until tomorrow. What if they escape tonight?

Feeling Zhao Xiangwan's rapid heartbeat, Ji Zhao gently placed his soft palm on the back of Zhao Xiangwan's hand and pressed it gently.

【Don't be afraid, I'm here. 】

Ji Zhao imitated how Zhao Xiangwan had treated him and began to comfort her.

Zhao Xiangwan did not respond, still lowering her head slightly, her beautiful long eyebrows slightly frowned. The mind-reading skill that had been with her since she was ten years old suddenly failed, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Ji Zhao stretched out his other hand, placed it on Zhao Xiangwan's back, and patted it rhythmically as if he was coaxing a child.

[Don't be afraid, I'm here. 】

Zhao Xiangwan finally came to his senses, slowly raised his head and met Ji Zhao's gaze.

Ji Zhao smiled faintly, with a soft light shining in his eyes.

[I saw the guy at the hot pot restaurant. I hit his hand with chopsticks. Are you afraid of him? Don't be afraid. You are a policeman.]

Zhao Xiangwan leaned close to Ji Zhao and whispered in his ear: "I'm not a police officer yet."

Ji Zhao turned his head, his nose almost close to hers, and they could smell each other's breath. At such a close distance, Zhao Xiangwan's face was reflected in Ji Zhao's eyes, which were as black as black jade beads, as if Zhao Xiangwan's soul was sucked in.

You will be.

Ji Zhao's voice was filled with immense confidence and firm belief, which inexplicably made Zhao Xiangwan feel at ease.

Once my mood calms down, all the sounds return to their place.

Zhao Xiangwan took a long breath and signaled Ji Zhao not to say anything more. She continued to probe into Cao Deren's inner thoughts.

[If it weren't for the man surnamed Gu who provided this important information, I would have died twice. Fortunately, Brother Fan remembered that it was the fingerprints left by Ruan Wu, and he immediately killed the boy, chopped off his fingers, and buried them on the Diancui Mountain. After so many years, the body should have turned into mud. Ruan Wu, Ruan Wu, good brothers should have made a fortune together, but don't blame me, who told you to be careless and leave such a deadly thing. The police are very powerful now. I heard that they can convict immediately with just a pair of fingerprints. If they really catch him and find out anything during the trial, I will definitely be shot! ]

Zhao Xiangwan's heart sank suddenly. The fingerprint clue was broken.

Fan Hongwei married Gu Wenjiao to get information from the police. The fingerprint details would never be disclosed in the newspapers or notices, and it was Gu Wenjiao who insisted on it and kept asking for information. She finally heard the information from the police officer who was in charge of solving the case at that time.

Damn! Cunning!

The bigger the case, the more calm one needs to be. Zhao Xiangwan quickly adjusted his mood and began to plan countermeasures.

First, Nguyen Wu was a key figure. Although he had been killed, his family might be able to get more information. If we were lucky, we might even be able to find fingerprints from his belongings. This was the most crucial evidence in the case and must not be missed.

Second, since Fan Hongwei used Gu Wenjiao as an antenna to inquire about the progress of the case, if he knew that he and He Mingyu had visited Gu Wenjiao, he would definitely be alert. If he was allowed to prepare in advance or run away with Cao Deren, where would he be found? Therefore, we must speed up and control them.

Third, Fan Hongwei will meet with Cao Deren later, which may lead to more details. It is better to be quiet and stay here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan's heartbeat and breathing gradually became steady. The aroma of food on the small table wafted over, and she began to feel hungry again.

The rice was not served in bowls. Instead, Hu Aiyu brought over a half-full enamel rice bowl without even a rice spoon.

Ji Zhao picked up a porcelain spoon from his own bowl and scooped rice into Zhao Xiangwan's bowl. Although his movements were a bit clumsy and the amount of rice he scooped up was not much, he persisted and repeated it, and soon filled Zhao Xiangwan's bowl with rice.

Zhao Xiangwan pricked up his ears to listen to Cao Deren's movements while watching Ji Zhaosheng eating. He didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth were always raised.

Cao Deren was a restless person. He couldn't talk when he was alone, so he kept mumbling to himself, which gave Zhao Xiangwan a good opportunity. If he was in the interrogation room, he might not dare to let his imagination run wild, but now he was in a small restaurant surrounded by strangers. When Cao Deren recalled the past, he could be described as reckless.

【Damn Cai Chang, he deserves to die. 】

[Brother Fan is really capable, he kills without blinking an eye. The vase smashed over, and the little girl fell to the ground, blood all over the ground, and it was heart-wrenching to see it. I had a gun in my hand, but I was more panicked than Brother Fan, oh! Brother Fan pushed the person in front of me, and my legs were shaking when I pulled the trigger...]

[I said I wanted to run, but Brother Fan wasn't afraid. He even dared to negotiate with that old guy Yang Xugang. Tsk!]

[I've been following Brother Fan all my life. He's a ruthless, ruthless man with a big heart and a quick mind. If I follow him, I'm sure I'll be able to live a decent life.]

[Demolition, demolition, this job is just what I like. Beating people, cutting off electricity, and demolishing houses under the banner of the Urban Construction Bureau, isn't this just following orders to join the underworld? It's so fucking cool! ]

[Today, the bunch of bastards from the serious crime squad came to the Urban Construction Bureau to investigate a case of dumping a body into a reservoir. Damn! The dog's nose is really sharp. I played with a man and accidentally killed him. It was Brother Fan who came up with the idea to hang a cement block and dump it into the reservoir. Who knew the body would float up so quickly?]

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan stopped what he was doing, put a mouthful of scrambled eggs in his mouth, and forgot to chew.

The murderer of the body dumping case in the reservoir turned out to be Cao Deren? Unexpectedly, Zhu Feipeng and others from the serious crime team accidentally helped the three serious crime teams solve the case!

Listen to what he said? He played with a man and accidentally killed him! Is he still a human being?

Thinking of the way Cao Deren and Fan Hongwei's eyes lit up when they first saw Ji Zhao, Zhao Xiangwan felt goosebumps all over his body.

Shameless person!

"Brother Fan, sister-in-law, here!" Cao Deren suddenly stood up and waved at the door.

Zhao Xiangwan looked out through the beer box and saw Fan Hongwei holding Gu Wenjiao with one hand and walking towards them with a smile. Gu Wenjiao frowned and pursed her lips, looking reluctant.

[Damn, you are shameless! If you were not still useful now, I would have killed you long ago and let you and your mother continue to be a mother and daughter in the underworld. I have killed many people now and have gained experience. If I push you off the balcony and pretend to be a suicide note, who will know that it was me who did it?]

[He just had a fight yesterday, and he's doing it again today. How disgusting! Oh, God, please have him struck by thunder, I really can't live like this. ]

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were filled with coldness as his worldview was refreshed once again.

——We must not let this beast get away!

Gu Wenjiao was half-forced into the restaurant by Fan Hongwei, who smiled and greeted Hu Aiyu. There were two tables of diners in the restaurant who were doctors and nurses from the Third Hospital, and those who recognized Gu Wenjiao raised their heads and waved politely.

"Dr. Gu is here."

"Your lover came to pick you up from get off work again today? You two are so loving."

"Yes, they even let people order food in advance to reserve a table. How thoughtful."

Only a male voice that was not very harmonious interrupted coldly: "It's so hot, aren't you tired of talking so much?"

As soon as the man spoke, all the flattery stopped and the scene became a little awkward for a moment.

"Hey, Dr. Qiao thinks we are talking too much."

"Okay, okay, we won't talk about it anymore."

"Hurry up and go home to eat watermelon under the fan. It's really hot this damn day."

Doctor Qiao glanced at everyone coldly, stood up and walked to the counter to pay the bill.

Zhao Xiangwan saw clearly that this was a very thin man, not tall, wearing a white T-shirt and beige trousers, clean and tidy. He was pushing a suitcase with his right hand, and he must have just returned from a business trip.

[Gu Wenjiao's arm was injured, but her husband held her hand tightly. Didn't he see that her eyebrows and eyelashes were trembling because of the pain? Love, love is bullshit. ]

Doctor Qiao is a careful observer with a straightforward personality, quite interesting.

Doctor Qiao paid the bill and left alone. When he passed by Fan Hongwei's table, he stopped for some reason, frowned, and patiently looked at Gu Wenjiao again.

Gu Wenjiao sat at the table, her arm still pinched by Fan Hongwei, the pain almost numb. Her eyes were a little confused, obviously she was used to accepting it.

Fan Hongwei finally pretended to be affectionate and was ready to act out the scene of a loving couple in the most popular restaurant in front of the Third Hospital. However, he was interrupted by the cold-eyed Dr. Qiao. He felt uncomfortable and increased the strength in his hands, causing Gu Wenjiao to scream in pain.

When Fan Hongwei heard her cry of pain, he realized that he had hit her too hard. He smiled and patted her arm, and diligently helped her to serve chicken soup: "Come on, come on, are you hungry? You must be tired after working all day. You people who work in the hospital are all tired. Come, have some chicken soup to replenish yourself."

Gu Wenjiao was in no mood to drink chicken soup. Just as she was about to speak, Doctor Qiao said, "Drinking chicken soup on such a hot day, are you hoping that Doctor Gu will get a heat stroke?"

Fan Hongwei didn't expect to meet such an impolite doctor Qiao.

He was a rough man, but in the process of dealing with educated people, he found that educated people care about face and are most afraid of conflict. The doctors and nurses in the Third Hospital are all educated people with relatively high quality. When they see the love between couples, they will at most make a joke and will never stand on the side to ridicule.

He glanced at Doctor Qiao with a gleam in his eyes: "Who are you? Are you very familiar with my wife? How familiar are you?"

Gu Wenjiao was shocked by these words, which were almost provocative. She was afraid that her husband would harm Dr. Qiao, so she said hurriedly, "This is Dr. Qiao Mo from the ophthalmology department. I, I am not familiar with him."

Fan Hongwei snorted coldly: "Oh, the foreign doctor who lives upstairs from you, right? I was wondering why he was acting so weird here, it turns out you guys are the ones who get the most attention because you are close to him..."

Qiao Mo comes from a wealthy family, studied abroad, and always behaves casually. Since he was introduced to the Provincial Third Hospital as a talent, he has been outspoken and bad-tempered, offending many colleagues. However, he has always been only interested in patients and their feelings, keeps to himself, doesn't like to make friends, and doesn't care about other people's comments at all.

Hearing Fan Hongwei's insinuation, Qiao Mo's temper flared up. He put his suitcase aside and said loudly, "What's wrong with you, comrade? Didn't you see that Dr. Gu's eyelids were trembling with pain? She obviously had an arm injury, why did you always pick on her sore spot? You don't know that you can't drink chicken soup or other irritating foods when you're injured, so doesn't Dr. Gu know that either? I just kindly reminded you, but why did you become so weird?!"

Seeing Qiao Mo jump out like a fool and accuse him of not caring for his wife, Fan Hongwei was furious and winked at Cao Deren.

Cao Deren had been ready to make a move. Receiving the signal from his elder brother, he slammed the table and stood up, pointing his right index finger firmly at Qiao Mo's nose: "Who are you, you bastard? How dare you point fingers at my elder brother? Stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here!"

Qiao Mo is nearly 40 years old and still single. His emotional intelligence is notoriously low in the hospital.

The patient was terrified and asked pitifully, "Doctor Qiao, will I go blind?"

Qiao Mo took a look at the medical report and replied coldly, "If you don't take care of your rest, you will go blind sooner or later."

A senior leader had keratitis, and his colleagues specially asked him to diagnose him in order to show their respect. Qiao Mo did not give him any face: "Don't come to me for such a trivial matter."

A kind lady introduced him to a girl. He stared into her eyes the whole time. The lady asked him how he felt. His answer was very infuriating: "It seems that I have congenital amblyopia. I need to see a doctor immediately."

Such a professional doctor who was so focused on ophthalmology that he ignored everyone else and said a few words for Gu Wenjiao. Unexpectedly, he was pointed at and scolded by Cao Deren, a gangster. Qiao Mozhi got angry and raised his eyes, which were sharp and cold.

"No patient dares to ask me to get out. I see your eyes are bloodshot, do you have high blood pressure? The knuckles of your index and middle fingers are red and swollen, and it's difficult to bend them. Is your uric acid level a bit high? I suggest you drink more beer, and it's better to eat some mutton with it, so you will die faster!"

As soon as Qiao Mo opened his mouth, everyone around him knew that something bad was going to happen.

When Doctor Qiao Mo gets angry with people, he is invincible in the whole department. No matter how big the leader or how powerful the expert is, if Qiao Mo gets angry, he will not recognize anyone as his own!

Cao Deren's brain wasn't working very well. After listening to what Qiao Mo said, he was completely confused: "What? What high blood pressure? I'm fine!"

A burst of laughter rang out beside him, and Cao Deren realized that Qiao Mo was scolding him. He panicked and picked up the beer bottle and smashed it hard on the table. The fragments flew everywhere, leaving only a piece of the bottle neck, which flashed a sharp cold light in the setting sun.

He pointed the sharp part at Qiao Mo, and finally found some confidence, and shouted in a scoundrelly manner: "You dare to go against me, you think your life is not long enough!"

Qiao Mo bent down calmly, took out a sharp scalpel from the side pocket of the suitcase, and held it in his hand with great skill.

Qiao Mo looked around: "You all saw clearly, it was this patient with high blood pressure who threatened me with a broken beer bottle first. In order to protect myself, I had to use my diner partner in an area that I am familiar with. Penetrating or ruptured eyeball, iris root detachment or iris defect exceeding one quadrant, traumatic retinal detachment or hemorrhage, traumatic macular hole... these are all considered second-degree minor injuries. Considering that I was acting in self-defense, the court should not do anything to me."

The scalpel flashed with a cold light. The hand holding the scalpel was steady and calm.

Cao Deren's eyebrows twitched when he heard a lot of medical terms. His hand holding the beer bottle began to tremble. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should use the bottle to stab this annoying guy to death, or put the bottle away obediently to avoid being stabbed in the eyes by him.

Fan Hongwei could see that Qiao Mo was a tough guy and Cao Deren was no match for him.

He stood up with a smile, raised his hand and pressed down Cao Deren's right hand holding the beer bottle. Cao Deren took advantage of the situation to lower his hand and stopped attacking.

Fan Hongwei looked at Qiao Mo and said in a warm and relaxed voice: "Doctor Qiao, it was a misunderstanding. I am not a doctor and I didn't know that you can't drink chicken soup if you are injured in hot weather. It was my inconsiderateness. Thank you for reminding me. If you have finished your meal, I will not keep you. I will come to visit you again when I have the chance."

Fan Hongwei's smile became warmer: "I have to thank Dr. Qiao for his popular science. Today I know that...eyeball perforation and eyeball rupture only constitute second-degree minor injuries!"

Gu Wenjiao, who knew Fan Hongwei, shuddered all over, her hands began to shake, and fear swept through her body.

[This beast, this beast, he has a grudge against Dr. Qiao, he won't hit him, right? I am a sinner, a sinner! Am I trying to harm Dr. Qiao? ]

Qiao Mo's attitude obviously softened: "It's good that you know it. Be nicer to Doctor Gu in the future." After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned his right wrist, and was about to put away the scalpel.

Qiao Mo had just lowered his head when he suddenly heard Gu Wenjiao's painful cry: "Don't——"

No? No what?

Before Qiao Mo could react, he just felt the world spinning around him, and he was lifted up by a huge force and flew across the sky.

His hands were empty, the scalpel was snatched away, and a white light flashed before his eyes!

Gu Wenjiao began to scream: "Stop! Stop!"

Hu Aiyu rushed over and also shouted to stop them: "Don't fight, don't fight——"

Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao had been hiding behind the beer boxes and observing everything that was happening. They had never expected that things would develop in the way they did.

——Fan Hongwei tried to comfort Qiao Mo, but when Qiao Mo put away the scalpel, he took action.

When Fan Hongwei was young, he learned martial arts, and he studied Southern Fist. Southern Fist has compact movements, varied techniques, short-handed continuous strikes, and swift attacks. If you don't strike, it's fine. But once you strike, it's like thunder.

The difference between a martial artist and an ordinary person can be determined by just one move.

Fan Hongwei was as fast as a tiger. He came in front of Qiao Mo in one step. He somehow used his hands to lift Qiao Mo's body weighing over a hundred pounds and flew up. Then he fell on the ground with his back facing down.

Fan Hongwei held Qiao Mo down with his left knee and grabbed his wrist with his right hand. With just one move, he snatched the scalpel from him. He held the sharp blade between his index and middle fingers and brought it close to Qiao Mo's eyes.

The cold, sharp blade pressed against my eyelids, bringing with it a chill.

Thinking of what Fan Hongwei had just said, Qiao Mo felt hopeless. Eyeball perforation and eyeball rupture only constituted a second-degree minor injury—this man wanted to blind himself!

For an ophthalmologist, eyes are his life.

If he were harmed by Fan Hongwei, all Qiao Mo's lifelong learning and dreams would be gone.

What about returning light to the world? What about contributing what I have learned to my motherland and the ophthalmic medical profession? All of this is over!

Qiao Mo did not regret helping Gu Wenjiao, he only hated himself for trusting Fan Hongwei.

——How could this poor girl whose mother was innocently murdered marry such a shameless man?

Suddenly, the people around him started to shout and scream, but Qiao Mo felt that everything was so far away. He closed his eyes tightly and gave up fighting. If Fan Hongwei blinded him, he would fight him to the death!

Fan Hongwei looked at Qiao Mo's appearance. Although he had given up the struggle, his eyes were full of stubbornness, as if telling him: You can conquer my body with force, but you can never conquer my heart.

Although his body is weak, his proud spirit remains.

Qiao Mo's stubbornness successfully aroused the ferocious beast in Fan Hongwei's body. He sneered and the fingertips of his right hand trembled slightly!

"I want to see how arrogant you are!"

Just at this moment, a one-meter-high beer box was suddenly knocked over by someone.

With a loud "bang", countless empty beer bottles rolled out of the box, dark green glass fragments burst and flew, and the scene was in chaos.

Fan Hongwei was stunned and saw Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao standing behind the beer boxes.

Ji Zhao's overly beautiful face, which stunned him at first sight, suddenly appeared in front of him, and countless thoughts flashed through Fan Hongwei's mind.

[Why are the people from the Serious Crime Unit here? What did they see? ]

[If there were no police, I would have injured Qiao Mo, and it would have been just a fight at best. Besides, he had a knife in his hand. As long as I insisted that it was an accidental injury and then found someone to smooth things over, nothing would have happened. But now the police are eyewitnesses. If I took action now, it would be intentional injury, and I would not be able to escape the crime.]

[Why is this pretty boy here? The policewoman next to him has eyes like sharp knives. What's going on?]

It only took a flash of thought for Fan Hongwei to make a decision quickly. He laughed, retracted the scalpel, stopped holding Qiao Mo, and stood up.

Qiao Mo escaped the disaster, and he quickly got up, brushed off the dust on his body, and found that his exposed forearm had a shallow cut from broken glass. He smiled bitterly, refused his colleague's offer to help him, dragged his suitcase over, and stood at the door of the restaurant without leaving.

Fan Hongwei waved at him and said, "Dr. Qiao, goodbye. Don't use a scalpel to scare people in the future." After saying that, he threw the scalpel in his hand accurately into the blue trash can in the corner.

The diners looked at each other, and no one dared to speak nonsense.

[This guy is skilled in Kung Fu, not to be trifled with.]

[When a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain his courtesy. This time, Doctor Qiao hit a wall and almost got his eyes poked out.]

[Why did Gu Wenjiao find such a martial artist? He looked like he was going to kill someone, so scary! I used to think her husband was polite and courteous, but I didn’t expect... Oh!]

Hu Aiyu originally thought that someone was going to be murdered in the store, and was terrified. Seeing Fan Hongwei let Qiao Mo go, she secretly rejoiced, and came over with a broom to clean up the broken pieces of beer bottles scattered on the floor, but when she saw Qiao Mo didn't say a word and didn't leave, she became nervous again.

She walked up to Qiao Mo and kindly reminded him, "Doctor Qiao, please go back first."

Why would you go toe-to-toe with a fierce man like Fan Hongwei for someone who has nothing to do with you? Now that the police have finally shown up and his behavior has been restrained, do you really want to stay here and fight him if you don't leave?

——However, she didn't dare to say these words in front of Fan Hongwei. She could only squeeze her eyes at him, trying to make him understand what she meant.

Qiao Mo looked over her head and towards Gu Wenjiao.

This colleague who was always stubborn in finding the murderer of his mother made him feel empathy, but they did not interact much and had never had a chance to talk.

"Doctor Gu, you have an injury on your arm. You need to eat a light diet and avoid eating irritating foods."

[It must have been this warrior who beat him up! Doctor Gu is so pitiful. It’s a pity that I can’t help him at all. Alas!]

Gu Wenjiao was frightened by his look and didn't dare to meet his eyes. She raised her hand and waved: "Thank you, you can go back."

[It's over. I'm going to get a beating when I get home tonight. The more calm this beast Fan Hongwei appears, the more manic he gets behind the scenes. What should I do? What should I do?]

Qiao Mo couldn't hear what Gu Wenjiao was thinking. He just thought that he wanted to say a few fair words for her today, but he didn't expect to be crushed by her husband from all sides. He was a little frustrated. He hung his head and said "oh" sadly, glanced at Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao, pulled the corners of his mouth to show his gratitude, and then left.

When he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Gu Wenjiao, whose heart was in her throat.

When the beer box fell over and Zhao Xiangwan's figure was exposed, Gu Wenjiao became a little nervous. When Zhao Xiangwan came to investigate today, he told her not to tell Fan Hongwei, so should she say hello to her?

There were colleagues from the pharmacy at the next table, and maybe someone saw the police coming to look for him. Although He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan were in plain clothes at the time, Zhang Yinghua was always talkative, and maybe he had spread the news a long time ago. If Fan Hongwei found out that he had deceived him, it would be another disaster.

Zhao Xiangwan heard what Gu Wenjiao was thinking and his eyes flashed.

She pushed over the box of empty beer bottles to save Qiao Mo's eye.

Fan Hongwei had met her before and knew that she was from the serious crime squad. As soon as she showed up, the cautious Fan Hongwei would never dare to blind Qiao Mo's eyes in front of the police.

But now, his appearance made Gu Wenjiao feel frightened, which was something Zhao Xiangwan had not expected.

Before Zhao Xiangwan took any action, Fan Hongwei had already walked up to Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao with a bottle of beer and said, "What a fate! We just met last night and we meet again tonight. The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. I can't let you go today. Come on, come on, how about sitting down and drinking together?"

Fan Hongwei turned to Hu Aiyu who was cleaning and said loudly: "Change a big table for us. We didn't drink well just now. This time I will treat these two young people..."

He suddenly moved closer to Ji Zhao's face, his eyes flickering, full of joking: "I wonder what this little brother's name is, and where he works?"

Zhao Xiangwan was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

When he turned his head to the side, he found a palm-sized piece of dark green glass stuck above his left arm. Blood was seeping out of his shirt, soaking it into a bloody red color.

When the beer box was pushed over just now, beer bottle fragments flew everywhere. I think he was stabbed at that time.

Growing up in the countryside, Zhao Xiangwan, who is used to doing farm work, is used to getting injured. He was bitten by locusts while transplanting rice, cut by sickles while harvesting rice, and scratched by sharp leaves while cutting pigweed.

But since entering college, especially after joining the serious crime squad, Zhao Xiangwan has been well protected, and the possibility of getting hurt has become very remote. When he found that his arm was pierced by glass fragments, Zhao Xiangwan's first reaction was not fear or worry, but confusion: Am I injured?
