It was already dark when Xie Qing got home.

After parking the car, she found a bag of biscuits at home and ate a few of them, then connected the water pipe and began to water the flowers and plants in the yard.

Although they were not taken care of often, Xie Chen was careful when planting flowers. The flowerbed was mixed with humus soil, which was nutritious and grew vigorously.

Xie Qing pinched the mouth of the water pipe with her hand and "sprinkled" water over it - under the light, bright lines of water hit the green leaves, and her mood became better.

"It's so late, and you're still watering the flowers." Grandpa Fan came over with a fishing rod and a bucket.

"I can't help it. I just came back. The flowers and plants are a little short of water." Xie Qing said, looking at the road, and saw Grandpa Jiang had already entered his yard. Grandpa and Grandpa Fan were behind Grandpa Fan, so she smiled and greeted, "Grandpas, let's go fishing together. How was the harvest?"

Grandpa Fan proudly showed her the bucket, "After dinner, I just caught a few silly fish."

The fish were still alive, swimming around in the bucket.

Xie Qing was very interested, "When I have free time, I will also buy a fishing rod and play with the grandpas."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, as if Xie Yun in the book had done such a thing.

Twin sisters, although from different eggs, their brain circuits are still similar.

The grandfather blinked, "You policemen don't have the time to spare, just like my eldest granddaughter, running around every day, never having time to look after an old man like me."

The old man was tactfully complaining that Wan Ning was eating out and was unwilling to come back to accompany him.

Xie Qing smiled and said, "It's fine when you're done."

She greeted two of the three old men, and only Grandpa Fan stood in the middle of the road coldly, with no intention of joining in.

This is a taciturn person with a low sense of presence.

Out of politeness, Xie Qing still said, "Grandpa Fan, how many fish did you catch? Is it enough for a meal?"

Grandpa Fan said, "Fifteen!"

Grandpa Fan said, "He is a quiet person, and the fish like him too."

Xie Qing raised her thumb and said, "I will follow Grandpa Fan from now on. I promise not to talk during the whole process."

Grandpa Fan did not comment, but Na and Fan agreed together.

After showing off their fish, the three grandpas walked away leisurely.

Xie Qing also returned to the house after watering the flowers.

After changing into her home clothes, she cooked dumplings while thinking about the SQN case...

If she couldn't find anyone in the teahouse, then something must be wrong. Either there was a problem with the direction, or something was missed during the investigation, or You Zhiyong's suicide note was half true and half false, with the purpose of diverting the attention of the task force.

And there was that deputy district chief, whose family background she didn't know.

Thinking of this, Xie Qing wanted to call Tan Yi, but after thinking about it, she held back. If Tan Yi got the list, he would probably call her.

She didn't know where her confidence came from, but she had this idea inexplicably.

The dumplings were cooked, and the mobile phone rang.

Xie Qing sat down in the restaurant with her bowl and chopsticks and pressed the answer button.

"Qingqing."

"Yeah, you're on duty, right?"

"Yes, I have some free time, so I wanted to ask you what you're doing?"

"Waiting for the dumplings to cool down." "Are you

the same ones I bought last time?"

"Of course. Keke, I need your help."

"Go ahead."

"Give me a copy of the accounting information of the Tourism Bureau."

"Haha, I see you're as stubborn as I am. Okay, I'll find it for you."

Li Ke hung up the phone.

Xie Qing bit open the dumpling skin and blew it twice.

It's not that she's stubborn and doesn't trust her colleagues, but that she trusts her intuition and luck too much.

Moreover, if a case can never be solved, you should re-sort out every clue and every person that appears in your field of vision.

If you're afraid of trouble, trouble will still exist. It's better to bite the bullet and face it head-on.

After eating three dumplings, Li Ke called back.

"Qingqing, do you have a pen and paper?"

"Yes, tell me."

"Shen Huiqing, 48 years old, graduated from Jinyang University. Her husband, Liu Run, is a section chief in the Social Security Bureau. They have a daughter who is studying in the United States. Her father passed away two years ago, and her mother is still alive and lives with her."

"What's her home address?"

"No. 334, Caocao Hutong, Baixing Street."

Xie Qing wrote it down and asked, "Has anyone been following her?"

Li Ke said, "Brother Du went there for a day. Qingqing, under these conditions and at this age, who doesn't want to live a quiet life? We all think it can't be her."

Xie Qing understood that they didn't have enough manpower, so she simply let go of the person who didn't look like the person.

It cannot be said that they are wrong, it can only be said that she does not believe in evil.

In a series of cases involving Shen Yi, the murderer used poison, and it seems that the murderer has a special liking for poison.

But after listing all the cases together: Jiang Zhisheng was strangled to death, Wu Jiang was hit to death, Cao Lushi's death, Wang Xinyang was kidnapped, and various cases collected by Tan Yi...

Xie Qing discovered that the murderers in some cases should be killers hired by the mastermind with money, and some cases are very likely to be members of the mastermind's gang.

For example, Lao Mao and You Zhiyong are both San Ye's people, and the people who kidnapped Wang Xinyang and murdered Tan Yi are hired people.

You Zhiyong has a formal job, so do Lao Mao and San Ye also have a very formal job? After

Xie Qing finished her meal and washed the dishes, she looked at her watch and saw that it was almost half past eight.

She lingered for a moment by the stairs on the lower level, and finally closed the doors and windows and went out.

When she opened the courtyard door, Xie Qing ran into a fat woman who was taking out the garbage.

This woman was the nanny of Grandpa Fan's family.

Xie Qing greeted her, "Auntie Zhou, are you busy?"

Auntie Zhou smiled and said, "She's done after taking out the garbage. Why are you still going out so late?"

Xie Qing said, "Yes, back to work."

Aunt Zhou sighed, "You're still working so late. Being a police officer is really hard."

Xie Qing said, "You misunderstood. There's a girl in my unit who said that being on duty is boring, and it's boring for me to be at home. If I go there now, I won't have to get up early tomorrow."

"Is that so?" Aunt Zhou turned around, "Then be careful on the road."

Xie Qing got on the car, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."

An hour later, Xie Qing arrived near Baixing Street, stopped the car, put on a baseball cap and a pair of plain black-framed glasses, and walked over leisurely.

There is a certain distance between Caocao Hutong and Dawancha, so the accountant has to ride a bicycle.

The hutong is more than two meters wide, with bluestone slabs, clean and tidy.

Xie Qing walked more than a hundred meters inside and found No. 301 first. Then she walked three alleys forward and saw the conspicuous No. 334 on the roadside

. The black gate was exquisitely designed and painted brightly. It was tightly closed, and not a single ray of light could penetrate.

There was a small window on the gate, and on the lintel there was an incandescent lamp with a black cap.

There was a sloping cement platform under the threshold, which made it much more convenient to push a bicycle into the door.

Xie Qing continued to walk north and found that the accountant had planted a large rose on the courtyard wall between the west wing and the upper room.

Although the flowers were not in bloom, the wall was lush and green, and it looked very beautiful.

She slowed down her pace and listened sideways, but unfortunately she heard nothing.

There were few pedestrians in the alley, and even if there were, they were just passing by in a hurry on bicycles.

Xie Qing walked all the way to a wider street at the back without stopping, walked east, and returned to Baixing Street from another alley.

She didn't gain much this time, but her confidence was strengthened.

Although Xie Qing didn't go into the yard, she could see that Shen Huiqing's home was very tasteful. It was not as plain as her clothes, and she didn't look like a woman who would play mahjong at the risk of being discovered by her colleagues - if all this didn't have to be attributed to her husband.

Xie Qing decided to come and hang out when she had free time, and she would stay here for the time being.

...

More than half an hour later, she parked the car in the Municipal Bureau.

As soon as he got off the car, Tan Yi's car drove in. When passing by Xie Qing, he rolled down the window and said, "Wait for me, let's go together."

Xie Qing asked, "Didn't you go singing?"

Tan Yi said, "No one was in the mood. We just drank a little and then left."

Tan Yi locked the car and hurried over with his bag on his back, "Didn't you go home? Why are you back again?"

Xie Qing looked around. The Municipal Bureau compound was empty and deserted, with only the mercury-like moonlight falling from the sky.

She said, "I went to the home of the old accountant of the Tourism Bureau."

"I guessed you would go there." Tan Yi was not surprised. "Her home doesn't quite match the character of a person who is addicted to cards and wears simple clothes, right?"

Xie Qing was a little surprised. "You have been there?"

Tan Yi said, "I believe you."

Xie Qing felt a little uneasy and didn't know what to say for a while.

Tan Yi said again, "Regarding Wu Jiang's family background, I asked my father to check it. Let's wait for the news."

Xie Qing said, "I hope there will be good news."

The two quickly went up to the third floor of the dormitory.

Xie Qing waved her hand, "Good night."

Tan Yi said, "Good night."

...

Xie Qing fell asleep after taking a shower and had no dreams all night until she was woken up by the phone ringing.

"Xiao Xie, it's me."

"Captain Tan?"

"The people chasing the sea on the beach found a bag of body parts..."

"I'll be there right away."
