Xie Qing sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Yuehua.
Xie Chen said, "Auntie Sun, please pour Qingqing a glass of juice."
"Thank you, brother." Xie Qing was thirsty, so she said, "I haven't had any water for the whole morning, Auntie Sun, please give me a glass of water."
Xie Chen asked, "Has Shen Yi's case made any progress?"
Xie Qing said, "There are not many clues, and I heard it's a bit difficult."
Auntie Sun handed the water cup to Xie Qing.
Xie Qing thanked him and was about to drink it all when she saw Xie Yun, with black hair and a milky white long-sleeved nightgown, running down the stairs holding the handrail.
She had bright features and light movements. Even though she was dressed casually, she still had the elegance of a classical dancer.
Xie Yun looked at Xie Qing expectantly, "Has the murderer been caught?"
Xie Qing repeated what she had just said and asked her, "Did you find anything unusual that night?"
Xie Yun's beautiful almond eyes suddenly became wet, "If I had found something unusual, how could I have watched Qingqing's brother die?"
This emotion was real.
Xie Qing said, "Did Shen Qing not go?"
Xie Yun nodded, "Originally, she asked me to go, saying that there were many people and it would be lively. But when I was about to leave, Qingqing called and said that she had her period and had a stomachache and couldn't go."
Xie Qing said, "So you thought it over and finally went by yourself." Thought
over and finally, these two words are a bit subtle, as if Xie Yun has some ulterior motives.
This is exactly what Xie Qing wanted.
Xie Yun was about to sit down next to Xie Chen, but she was stunned for a moment. She stuck her butt out and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Qing knew that she had touched the secret string deep in Xie Yun's heart - in her previous life, Xie Yun didn't know Gu Ling and had no interest in him. If Shen Qing didn't go, Xie Yun didn't go either.
Xie Qing was calm and composed, "I mean, if you didn't go..."
Xie Yun's eyes became sharp.
She interrupted Xie Qing and said firmly, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Shen Yi's decision to attend the birthday party and go to the gold cabinet karaoke were all his own decisions. I am not familiar with him and have never said a word to him. He died because of his fate. What does it have to do with me?"
Shen Yi also died early in his previous life. This time she met Shen Qing to remind Shen Qing not to drive to Beijing by himself to avoid a fatal car accident. Unexpectedly, he had an accident more than ten days earlier, and in such a terrible way.
"Destiny..." Xie Qing repeated.
Xie Yun was sent back to the past by the author in the form of rebirth. Even if she did not believe in fate, she believed in it subconsciously.
She attributed Shen Yi's death to fate, and it can be inferred that Shen Yi also died in the previous life, but in a different way. If Shen Yi died on the way back from the safe in the previous life, Xie Yun would definitely try her best to stop it.
Based on this, we can infer further.
If Xie Yun did not go to the birthday party in the previous life, Shen Yi went and survived, then can we think that Shen Yi's death is directly related to Xie Yun?
Reasonable assumption: Shen Yi celebrated Zhang Xuejian's birthday out of respect for his classmate Zhang Xuejian, and it had nothing to do with Xie Yun.
But from the two characteristics of Shen Yi, who is a homebody and does not drink, he is unlikely to go to the safe after leaving Marriott. Therefore, in Xie Yun's previous life, he did not die.
This time, with Xie Yun around and a beautiful woman by his side, it is reasonable for Shen Yi to change his mind. After all, it is "the true nature of a man."
Xie Yun and Shen Yi were not very familiar with each other, so of course she would not be so self-indulgent as to blame Shen Yi's death on her beauty.
She did not know the truth, and there was nothing wrong with not over-blaming herself.
This was the fact.
Shen Yi's death was an accident.
Xie Yun had neither subjective intent nor any objective connection with the criminal. If she took the blame on herself, she would be really tired of living.
Tsk...
Butterfly Effect.
Who said that rebirth can definitely change anything?
Maybe this is what the author wants to express.
Chen Yuehua suddenly spoke, "In your eyes, the three of us are not as important as Shen Yi, right?"
Xie Qing took a sip of water and retorted, "You misunderstood. Everyone is curious. We are just chatting."
"Heh~" Yuehua snorted coldly, "Your sister has nothing to do with his death. It doesn't matter if you are a forensic doctor, but don't attribute those dirty and smelly things to your family members."
"Mom!" Xie Chen couldn't listen anymore, "Qingqing didn't mean that."
Chen Yuehua glared at him, "I'm just reminding her. It's for the good of our whole family."
There's no point in saying anything if you don't agree.
Xie Qing stood up and said, "I have something else to do at the office. I'll go back first."
Xie Chen picked up the car key on the coffee table and said, "I'll take you there."
Xie Yun said, "Xie Qing, have you seen Qingqing? Such a big thing happened to her family. As an outsider, I couldn't disturb her. I just called her once, but she hasn't returned yet."
Xie Qing said, "We met at the funeral home and she was very sad."
Xie Yun was surprised and said, "Did she recognize you?"
Xie Qing changed into her sneakers and said, "I was wearing a mask and didn't say anything."
"That's good." Xie Yun was relieved.
A hint of disdain appeared on his face...
Xie Chen frowned slightly, but didn't say anything and went out first.
The brother and sister got in the car together.
Xie Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "You are right, it is better not to come back."
Xie Qing smiled, "Yes, taking a step back will open up the sea and sky, and everyone will be quiet."
Xie Chen laughed, "This time, big brother understands." He turned the direction and drove the car out of the gate, "Qingqing, what car do you like? Brother will give you some money, as long as it does not exceed 150,000."
There is nothing to fight for, but it comes to you without fighting.
This is the relationship between people.
Xie Qing said, "Big brother, show me the City Hunter. I live in the dormitory and have few opportunities to drive. I am not afraid of fuel consumption."
Xie Chen smiled and shook his head, "It is too rough for a little girl to buy a car driven by the masters. Change one and change another."
Xie Qing put the bank card in his handbag, "That's what I want to buy. When I'm on vacation, I can go mountain climbing, off-road driving, and self-driving on the plateau, and I can still save some money to buy a mobile phone."
"Okay." Xie Chen was helpless, "City Hunter, it's quite suitable for the identity of a policeman."
...
Xie Qing went back to the dormitory first, and then took the video tape into the meeting room of the second brigade.
The criminal police were busy outside, and those on duty were not in meetings, so the meeting room was empty.
Xie Qing locked the door, turned on the projector, made a cup of Tieguanyin, and started watching from the first time Shen Yi went to the bathroom...
The corridor of the gold cabinet was dimly lit, the image pixels were not high, and the TV was small, so you need to concentrate and distinguish carefully.
After watching the two tapes, it was almost noon.
Xie Qing packed up her things and went to the cafeteria with her backpack.
"Qingqing!" Li Ke was standing in line, waving at her excitedly, pointing at Li Ji who was eating hard in the corner, "Let's sit there."
"Okay." Xie Qing took the plate and followed the line forward, ordering scrambled eggs with tomatoes, diced chicken with chili, and finally a spoonful of preserved egg and tofu.
She just came out of the line, and Li Ke came back. She shook the empty soup bowl in her hand, "The chicken soup is good today, why didn't you order it, Qingqing?"
Xie Qing stopped and waited for her, "I drank too much tea."
"I'm so happy." Li Ke filled the bowl of chicken soup, "I've been walking for most of the day, but I'm thirsty."
Xie Qing didn't want to argue, and asked, "How is it, did you gain anything?"
"Let's talk about it later." Li Ke carefully held the soup bowl and returned to his seat.
Li Ji said, "Why did you come so late, Xiao Xie?"
"I was delayed by something." Xie Qing picked up a peanut and put it into her mouth, "How are you guys?"
Li Ke was delighted, "There's a way."
Xie Qing was cheered up, "Why?"
Li Ji said, "Huang Qi seems easy to follow, but it's actually very difficult. Huang Qi is a naughty kid who is hated by everyone. He causes trouble wherever he goes. His family is used to it and has no idea when they are being targeted."
Li Ke interrupted, "Family education is really important."
"That's right." Li Ji continued, "So, we carefully checked the case of Gu Daqiang four years ago. As you said, except for Sun Zhifeng, who didn't know Gu Daqiang, the other two knew him."
"Especially Zhao Weizhi, the two families have some indirect relatives. Gu Daqiang is the cousin of Zhao Weizhi's mother, and the relationship is not close at all, but Gu Daqiang is shameless and always wants Zhao Weizhi to work for free. The two even had a fight over this."
Xie Qing asked, "Where is Fan Xiaoshan?"
Li Ke blinked nervously, "Guess?"
Xie Qing said, "A client?"
Li Ke was deflated, "You guessed it right at once, so boring."
Li Ji also said, "Although I'm a year older than you, I always feel that you are the veteran criminal police."
"Haha." Xie Qing laughed dryly, "How could that be? Are there more details?" She quickly changed the subject.
Li Ji said, "To be precise, Gu Daqiang is not a serious prostitute. It is said that he did not have much money and was exposed by Fan Xiaoshan's mother. Since then, he has been framing Fan's family. So I think Fan Xiaoshan is more suspicious and has a more sufficient motive for committing the crime."
"I think so too." Li Ke nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Qingqing, what do you think?"
Xie Qing said, "I totally agree, but reasoning is reasoning, and the key is evidence."
Li Ji said, "I think we have to go back to the Huang Qi case, take Fan Xiaoshan's photo, and find people who fish and ride bicycles to see if they can recognize him. And outside the Wangjiang community, since the murderer knew that Huang Qi was a naughty child, he must have stopped there often, and he must have seen him before."
Li Ke added, "These are all I can think of for now."
"Hmm..." Xie Qing subconsciously replied with a single sound. The speed of scooping and pouring rice slowed down, but the speed of thinking in her brain became faster.
Fan Xiaoshan is a driver, and it is normal for him to stop working outside the community. It cannot be used to determine that he is the murderer.
After thinking about it, Xie Qing also felt that she could only take one step at a time and try to make each step solid.
"Now there is only..." She suddenly stopped talking, "The murder weapon is a brick. Although Anhai is still developing, it is not possible to pick up bricks everywhere."
"Bang!" Li Ji slapped the table, "Yes, the brick must be in the car. After the victim got out of the car, he took out the brick from the drawer and hid it behind his body..."
He put his hands behind his back and raised them up unexpectedly, "That must be the case."
"The bricks are his trophies. He wants to be an unknown hero, but he doesn't necessarily need spiritual rewards." Xie Qing thought of something else, "He killed several people. Either he often passed by the place where the bodies were dumped, or he hid bloody bricks in his car, or both. If you can't get a clear answer about the suspect from the witnesses, you might as well go to a few places where bodies were dumped, especially the place where Huang Qi dumped bodies."
"What the new recruits said sounds quite like that."
"They are all top students, not like us, rough guys!"
"Hey, I don't like to hear that. What's wrong with us? Theory is theory, experience is experience. Tell me, which place where bodies were dumped have we stepped on again and again?"
"That's true. Well, new recruits, you will gain experience after going a few more times."
"Keep your voice down, don't let the youngsters hear you, eat your meal."
...
"Surveying without a target is just blind." Li Ke rolled his eyes, "You didn't even hear everything and you jumped to conclusions."
Li Ji lowered his voice, "Forget it, it's just a few words, there's no need to offend anyone, the real thing is to solve the case."
In the police system, the salary is determined not only by the number of years of work but also the highest level of education. Students like Li Ke and Li Ji, who graduated from the Police University, will be assigned a high salary, so it is normal for some people to be jealous.
Li Ke was not convinced, "Everyone is busy with their own things, why are you meddling..."
"Okay!" Xie Qing interrupted her, "Don't you often argue with other students in school? Ji Ge is right, solving a case is more powerful than any verbal counterattack."
"That's true." Li Ke took two mouthfuls of rice, "Let's eat quickly so we can leave after eating."
Li Ji shook his head and laughed, but he also finished the last bite of food quickly.
