I don't care about you based on my status, do you understand?

Tan Yi swallowed back the words that were about to slip to the tip of his tongue. He threw the cigarette into his mouth irritably, and then thought of his mother's words and crushed them fiercely.

Xie Qing on the other end of the phone said, "Captain Tan, don't worry about me. I'm not that important. The key is still you. The security of the community is average, and the beach is too spacious and the safety is very poor. It's better to live in the dormitory."

Is this her response?

Tan Yi's heart suddenly warmed up and he asked tentatively, "What about you, are you going home?"

"I have flowers and plants at home that need taking care of, so I'll split my time between the dormitory and home."

"Okay, then... well." Tan Yi braked hard again and put back the words 'Tell me before you go home and I'll go back too', "I'm looking for you to tell you that You Zhiyong is dead."

He couldn't chat nonsense anymore. He would never be able to bear the consequences of losing control of his emotions.

Xie Qing asked, "Did he leave any suicide note?"

"Yes." Tan Yi took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and held it between his index finger and middle finger. "In the first sentence, he admitted that he killed Cao Lushi and Guan Wei. In the second sentence, he confessed that the mastermind was Lin Mo. In the third sentence, he said Big Bowl of Tea, Three."

"Big Bowl of Tea, Three?"

"Yes, he died before he finished speaking."

"That's how it's played in the movies. He's quite dramatic. Three means Third Master, right?"

"That's what I thought too. Captain Huang said there's a teahouse called Big Bowl of Tea, which is both a tea room and a mahjong parlor. People have been sent there."

"Oh, what about Lin Mo?"

"Lin Mo has been under surveillance. After investigation, it was found that he has lung cancer, and it is in the late stage. So Captain Huang said to give him some dignity, hoping that he can hear the news and surrender himself. If he doesn't surrender, we will take action at the gate of the machinery factory tomorrow morning."

"Yes, an old man who is about to bid farewell to this world uses an extremely crazy method to save the machinery factory where he has worked all his life. Although the method is cruel, the starting point is still good." "It

's still because he is not capable enough. As the executive deputy director of the factory, he has never been able to get the real evidence of Chen Zhicheng's crime."

"If he had the ability, he would be the director of the factory. How could he go crazy?"

"Haha~ I was powerless to refute it."

"In short, this is an old man who was driven crazy by illness and responsibility. Captain Tan, You Zhiyong is dead, and now there is no evidence. He will not deny it, right?"

Xie Qing's brisk voice came out of the microphone, making Tan Yi feel much more relaxed. He temporarily forgot about his grandmother's illness, SQN, and even the desire to smoke.

He stood up, threw the cigarette into the trash can, and looked at the twinkling fish fires on the sea.

"Probably not. If You Zhiyong died, he would be even more desperate. When we lend a helping hand and explain the interests involved, he should choose to believe us."

"That's true. Although he is crazy, he should still have basic judgment." A very light yawning voice came from the other end of the phone. "Fortunately, there is always a way out. You Zhiyong did a good thing before he died."

"Yeah, Captain Huang and I thought there was no evidence." Tan Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You must be sleepy. Go to bed early."

Xie Qing said, "Captain Tan, too. There is a tough battle tomorrow. Good night."

Tan Yi said, "Good night."

Without Xie Qing, the scenery outside the window was dull.

Tan Yi wanted to open the window for ventilation, but suddenly remembered that he didn't smoke. He retracted his outstretched hand and smiled, "It's good. You've made it through. Brush your teeth and go to bed."

...

The next day, as soon as Xie Qing arrived at the office, Li Ke came up to her.

Xie Qing asked, "Are you guys free today?"

Li Ke said, "Lin Mo was arrested."

Xie Qing picked up the rag, "Sure enough, he was arrested. Has the interrogation started?"

Li Ke said, "Not yet. Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes, wait a minute." Xie Qing ran to the bathroom quickly and soon came back with a wet rag and a mop.

Li Ke took the rag from her hand, "I'll help you. Hurry."

...

Two minutes later, the two appeared outside the interrogation room.

Fu Da, Liu Feng, Du Zhun, Ren Yaguang and others were all there, and the small room of more than ten square meters was packed.

The interrogation had already begun, and Huang Zhenyi's voice came from the monitor.

"Director Lin, do you know why we asked you to come?"

"I know. I was the one who ordered You Zhiyong to kill Cao Lushi and Guan Wei."

"Why?"

"The machinery factory will not be good if Chen Zhicheng doesn't fall."

"Then why didn't you kill Chen Zhicheng?"

"He was in high spirits and had no reason to commit suicide. He was commuting to work by car, and the driver and secretary were there, so it was difficult to create an accident."

"Killing Guan Wei was to put Chen Zhicheng to death?"

"Yes."

"How did you contact You Zhiyong?"

This might be the key information about the person behind You Zhiyong, and the people listening held their breath together.

"He contacted me."

"Why, why did he contact you? On what occasion did you express the idea of ​​getting rid of Chen Zhicheng?"

"Municipal Hospital, or Jinghua Hospital? I chatted with the attending physician and several people waiting in line for X-rays. Some people haven't died yet, and I still don't want to die."

"When was that? Who was the attending physician? Who were the people waiting for X-rays?" "

I can remember the doctor, but I can't remember the people waiting for X-rays. They were all strangers I met by chance. And it was three months ago. I have no recollection of it." "

How are you sure that Chen Zhicheng made a mistake? If he didn't, wouldn't you have murdered an innocent person?"

"His embezzlement of public funds explains everything. Investigate him carefully, young man. He is a black sheep. The machinery factory must not continue to be under his leadership."

"Before today, did you know that You Zhiyong killed Cao Lushi for you, and did you kill You Zhiyong?"

"I don't know. I didn't kill him. He was the one who contacted me first. I paid 20,000 yuan for a life. Two days before Cao Lushi got into trouble, I put 40,000 yuan next to a trash can at the gate of Friendship Mall."

"Since you don't know him, how do you know You Zhiyong is the one who killed someone for you?"

"Someone called my house."

"What did the person on the phone say?"

"The other party said that the one who killed someone for you was your factory's security guard named You Zhiyong. He died today. You'd better take care of yourself."

"Only one sentence?"

"Only one sentence, and he spoke in a weird accent."

"Have you ever thought about taking Chen Zhicheng's life?"

"Of course, but I can't find the person who killed him for me."

"Deputy Director Lin, in order to attract the attention of the police and investigate Chen Zhicheng's financial situation, you let two young people die and left two broken families. Is it worth it?"

"…People have to die eventually, and if they die for a good cause, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

"You openly challenge the law and wantonly deprive others of their lives. Not only does this have a bad impact on society, but your children will probably be implicated as well."

"You worry too much. My son and daughter-in-law work in the south. If I leave, my wife will go to live with them, so they won't have a bad life."

…

"Bang!" Du Zhun punched the wall, "Too cunning, this Lin guy thought he was getting rid of harm for the people, but he's just a puppet."

Liu Feng said, "Old Du is right."

Ren Yaguang also said, "It was too frustrating to solve this case, it's simply hitting our confidence."

Xie Qing said, "Forcing the rats in the gutter out is victory, there's nothing to be upset about."

Fu Da raised his thumb, "Xiao Xie is right, don't be discouraged. The murderer is in the dark, we are in the light, there's only a thousand years of being a thief but no thousand years of guarding against thieves, it's no big deal, just do it."

Ren Yaguang clenched his fist and said loudly, "Yes, don't be discouraged, do it with them, and avenge Li Ji."

...

After the interrogation, Xie Qing and Cao Haisheng set off for Lishan County to do a medical accident appraisal. It was already six o'clock in the evening when they returned to Anhai.

She did not live in the dormitory, but went home.

Although she ate alone, she did not fool around. She picked out some good ones from the rotten coriander, thawed a plate of frozen prawns, soaked some dried scallops and seaweed, and prepared to make a bowl of hot soup noodles.

Just after she finished all these, Chai Yu called and said that he saw the lights in her house were on and asked if she had any food.

Xie Qing silently added another bowl of noodles to the basin, indicating that it was being cooked and would be ready in another hour.

Tan Yi and Chai Yu arrived forty minutes later.

The two of them went to the kitchen together, Chai Yu helped peel garlic, and Tan Yi helped wash kelp.

Xie Qing was a little tired after a busy day, but with someone to work with and chat with, she immediately felt more energetic.

Chai Yu asked, "I heard that the case at the machinery factory was solved?"

Tan Yi poured out the dirty water, "Well, the mastermind and the killer have been found, now it's up to the detectives."

He said it lightly, but Xie Qing, as a member of the SQN case, knew the tremendous pressure this case brought to them.

However, Chai Yu was an extra staff member after all, so he could say what he could say, and there was no need to elaborate on what he couldn't say.

Chai Yu said, "That's good. Everyone is relieved. Mayor Ye finally has a smile on his face."

Xie Qing put the dough on the board, rolled it into round pieces bit by bit, and then stacked it on a pile of thin strips cut into uniform widths, shook it out, and made soup. It was done in less than ten minutes.

The three of them went to the table with their own bowls.

Chai Yu first sipped the soup and said happily, "It's delicious."

Tan Yi ate the noodles first, "The noodles are very chewy."

Xie Qing turned on the TV and tuned to the Anhai City channel, "I added salt and eggs to the noodles."

A fire scene suddenly appeared on the screen, and the news host on the scene said, "Breaking news, a fire broke out in a store outside the Haiqing community. The fire blocked the passage. A family of four was trapped in the fire and has not been seen since. Some people suspect that the four people have died..."

Tan Yi quickened his eating speed and told Xie Qing, "There is still time, let's eat faster."
