Xie Qing pointed to the canteen across the street, "I want to buy some food, why don't you go upstairs?"

Li Ji raised his chin.

Xie Qing looked closely and saw Fu Da coming out of the canteen with a bag of beer.

Xie Qing smiled, "It turns out that there is an organization."

Tan Yi explained, "When I was at home, I was always worried about working overtime and dared not drink too much. On a business trip, I can relax a little ."

This is true.

Xie Qing said, "You go upstairs first, I'll buy some peanuts and melon seeds to cheer me up."

Fu Da came over, "Yes, yes, I love peanuts, Xiao Xie, buy more."

"Okay." Xie Qing agreed, crossed the road and entered the canteen.

Although the canteen was small, it had a wide range of goods. Xie Qing chose three bags of melon seeds, three bags of drunkard peanuts, three bags of silk beans, two boxes of instant noodles and three sausages - she bought these not because she was hungry, but because she was craving for food.

After asking for a pot of hot water from the service counter, Xie Qing went up to the second floor. After taking a few steps, she saw Tan Yi coming out of the conference room.

He said, "We are here, go quickly."

Xie Qing asked, "What about you?"

Tan Yi said nothing and pointed to his room.

Xie Qing thought he was going to the bathroom, so she didn't ask any more questions and passed by him.

Tan Yi didn't go to the bathroom, and he was afraid that Xie Qing couldn't find them, so he made such a special trip.

He went back to his room and walked around, finally finding two packs of tissues in his bag, and then went back to the conference room.

Xie Qing sat next to Li Ji, and opened the packages of peanuts and broad beans, and soaked instant noodles, which smelled very strong, almost covering the barbecue smell. .

Tan Yi sat down opposite her, "Aren't you a foodie? Why are you eating instant noodles?"

Xie Qing said, "Junk food has its own fragrance, and sometimes I just crave it."

"Junk food?" Fu Da was a little confused.

Xie Qing said, "Yes, it means 'food that can only provide some calories but no other nutrients'. Foods like instant noodles, cola, fried foods, biscuits, etc. contain all kinds of preservatives, leavening agents, additives, flavors, edible pigments, etc. Eating too much of them is not good for the body."

Fu Da was shocked, "Fuck, my son loves to eat these. His grandmother is used to him and buys them when they are out of stock. He doesn't even like to eat rice."

Xie Qing said, "Of course they are not good. For the health of the child, Brother Fu, you should take care of it."

"Thank you, Xiao Xie." Fu Da bumped her wine bottle, "I'll take care of it when I get home."

Xie Qing took a sip of beer and was about to open the novel when she saw Tan Yi also opened a pack of instant noodles.

He smiled and said, "The last time I ate instant noodles was when I was in college. Six or seven years have passed. I want to try it too."

Li Ji said, "Captain Tan, please leave me a bite. I also ate it when I was in college, but I rarely eat it when I go home."

Xie Qing sighed. These two people, one eats less because he is too rich, and the other doesn't eat much because his family is not well-off.

The situation is completely different, but they have the same destination.

There is barbecue, and everyone is not hungry. The essence of eating instant noodles is to taste the freshness.

Xie Qing didn't want to be ambiguous with her male colleague, so she didn't say anything and picked instant noodles while reading a book.

Fu Da finished a bottle of beer and opened another one. "Is this book well written?"

Xie Qing said, "It's not that it's well written. I just want to understand the relationship between the characters, what kind of person Xia Xueyi is, and why Chao Xiu said that."

Fu Da was a little surprised. "Is that sentence very specific? Isn't it the tone that young literary and artistic people often use?"

Xie Qing said, "Not very specific. I hope he is not just making up new words to express his sorrow."

Fu Da shook his head. "Have you watched too many crime dramas, kid? How can it be complicated? "

Tan Yi said, "Brother Fu, the problem now is that we can't solve the case, so we can't help but think about it in a complicated way."

Fu Da curled his lips, "That's true, it's been seven years, if it wasn't complicated, the case would have been solved long ago. Xiao Xie, take a good look at it, and tell me after you finish reading it, and we'll analyze it together."

Xie Qing said, "Okay."

Li Ji said, "Captain Tan, those two who moved to the city and looked after the scene, should we also investigate them?"

Tan Yi picked up a skewer of meat and handed it to Xie Qing, "Investigate, I'll call the office tomorrow."

...

The atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious, one person reading a book, three people drinking and eating meat, no quarrels, no disturbances.

Xie Qing read ten lines at a glance at the speed of reading online articles, and soon saw the entanglement between He Hongyao and Xia Xueyi.

She said, "Xia Xueyi is such a scumbag."

Her words immediately attracted the attention of the three men.

Fu Da asked, "What is scum?"

Xie Qing said, "Scumbag, scumbag."

This...

the three men all looked a little embarrassed.

Fu Da was a little dissatisfied, "Why is this word used exclusively for us men?"

At that time, the Internet was not well developed, and people had little spare money. The cost of cheating for men was much higher than in the Internet era, and scumbags were not that common.

"It's not specifically for you. If a woman is not good, she can be called a scumbag." Xie Qing defended and immediately changed the subject. "He Hongyao was obsessed with Xia Xueyi. She betrayed the Five Poison Sect for him and gave almost everything. In the end, she was tragically abandoned and turned into an ugly woman who was neither human nor ghost. So Chao Xiu's words were actually a disguised promise. I suspect he had a relationship with Ye Wan."

Li Ji said, "So, what Xiao Xie means is that Ye Wan killed Chao Shi's family?"

"From the footprints, the murderer is a man." Fu Da thought, "Could it be a family member of Ye Wan? If Ye Wan and Chao Xiu had a relationship and were abandoned by him, then both the logic and the motive would be there."

Li Ji said, "Didn't Chao Xiu's teacher say that Chao Xiu had never been in love?"

Tan Yi handed Xie Qing another skewer of barbecued meat, "It could also be a junior high school classmate."

Xie Qing took it, stuffed it into her mouth and bit off a piece, "This is possible. Chao Xiu is a good student and loves to read. Judging from his handwriting, he is a reserved person. It's not surprising that he hides his love."

Tan Yi said, "We'll go to junior high school tomorrow, let's focus on investigating this matter."

Fu Da picked up the bottle of wine, "I hope this clue can bring some turning point to this case."

The four of them clinked their glasses together.

Xie Qing finished her wine, put away her book, ate the remaining instant noodles, and then said goodbye and returned to the dormitory.

The next morning, on the way to Lishan County No. 3 Junior High School, Xie Qing told Huang Zhenyi about the relationship between Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao.

Although it was just a guess, it was a clue with a clear direction after all, and Huang Zhenyi praised Xie Qing severely.

When they arrived at the middle school, they were still received by the principal in person.

After Huang Zhenyi explained the situation, the principal asked someone to retrieve the list of all students who studied in the same period as Chao Xiu.

However, the four of them didn't find the name among their classmates in grades 1, 2, and 3, nor in the class next door. As a last resort, they searched the rosters of all 30 classes.

Still nothing.

Huang Zhenyi, no matter how cunning he was, showed a look of disappointment.

Helplessly, they had to investigate Chao Xiu's popularity among his classmates and whether he had any bad relations with anyone.

However, Chao Xiu was also a good kid in the eyes of his junior high school teacher, who didn't fight, quarrel, or fall in love.

After working hard for most of the day, the four of them found nothing.

At noon, Du Zhun called from the Municipal Bureau office and said that they had found the two gangsters who moved to Anhai that year - one of them sold seafood with his parents, and the other sold fruit with his parents.

The two gangsters both said that when Chao Shi's family got into trouble, they were watching the place at the nightclub, and the Chao Shi case had nothing to do with them - because they were investigating at the same time, there was almost no possibility that the two of them had informed each other in advance.

Du Zhun is an old policeman, and his eyesight and experience are above average.

But Huang Zhenyi didn't find any clues in junior high school, and he was unwilling to give up. He went to the nightclub again in the afternoon and found Zhu Xiaolong to confirm the clue - they were indeed at work at the time. At

five o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to the guesthouse.

Huang Zhenyi listened to the report from Fu Da and others while eating.

However, Fu Da also gained nothing.

All straws are just straws and can't save lives. The case has returned to the original situation.

Dinner was frustrating, and everyone left the restaurant in silence and walked upstairs together. When they reached the second floor, Tan Yi's eldest brother rang.

He took a look and picked up the phone, "Captain Liu, hello."

The corridor was silent for a moment.

"Are there any clues about the Ben family case?"

"That's great. Have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

"Oh... OK, let's work together."

"I hope so. Well, goodbye."

He hung up the phone.

Huang Zhenyi stopped, "Why, is the Ben family case going to be solved?"

"Not yet." Tan Yi asked Li Ji to open the door and let everyone into their room, "Captain Liu received a tip-off. It is said that two thugs, one tall and one short, have not shown up for a long time since the incident with the Ben family."

Huang Zhenyi sat down on a chair in front of the window, "This is a possibility. However, clues are clues, and arresting people is arresting people. It's not that easy to catch someone who has escaped. What do the masterminds say?"

"They just got the news and haven't investigated it to this point. Of course, it may be kept secret for the time being." Tan Yi picked up a copy of Anhai Evening News on the tea table and handed it to Huang Zhenyi. "As far as I know, Lishan does not have any major bidding projects, but Xiang'an does. Xiang'an wants to promote the tourism industry, and the ancient city needs to undergo large-scale renovations."

Huang Zhenyi took it and read it carefully.

Fu Da said, "It's not easy for them. Fingerprints and footprints can't be verified, and the person can't be caught. It's just as frustrating!"

Li Ji also said, "Will he be silenced?"

Huang Zhenyi shook his head, "This kind of situation is usually a □□. The buyer is mainly willing to kill, so there is no need to hire anyone."

Deng Wenxiang also said, "Could someone really kill four people because of business competition?"

Huang Zhenyi put down the newspaper, "It depends on how big the project is. Xiang'an County wants to relocate a considerable part of the population in the ancient city, maintain the intact ancient buildings, and build new communities. This is a huge project worth hundreds of millions. Murder is not impossible. The murderer deliberately imitated the Chao Shi case and then fled for fear of crime. As long as we can't catch the murderer, we can't bring the mastermind to justice."

Everyone was silent.

They all understood that if it was really as Huang Zhenyi said, the Ben family case was very difficult, and perhaps even if the Chao Shi case was solved, this case would not be solved.

Huang Zhenyi stood up and went outside.

Xie Qing and Li Ke stood outside and followed Huang Zhenyi out.

Back in the room, Li Ke said, "This is the first time I've seen Captain Huang so depressed. He didn't even say a word of encouragement."

Xie Qing said, "Captain Huang is a very responsible person."

Li Ke fell straight on the bed, "I feel aggrieved and angry, and I have no place to vent."

Xie Qing said, "Me too, let's go for a walk?" The

author has something to say:

The hero is six years older than the heroine. Even if he is not a father, he is still a big brother and a senior.

Moreover, everyone's expectations for the male lead are too high. It's almost like they are holding him to a saint's standard. After reading the comments, I was really upset and broke out in a sweat. Fortunately,

there was no rape or plunder, otherwise the male lead would be scolded to death?

I have a fragile heart!

Haha ...
