Mo Xiaoqing thought about it and shook her head. Indeed, if what she saw was a person pretending to be a ghost, it is possible.

"Then, the weird sound heard from the phonograph tonight was deliberately recorded in it by someone?

Who would do this? Pretending to be a ghost and playing a recording! And I observed a little bit and found that Chen Xinyu's wife Tian Ju and Tang Hai, their behaviors were very strange.

Tian Ju fainted when she heard the sound, and Tang Hai also behaved very nervously.

I think it is necessary to investigate them. Captain Xu, why don't you leave this matter to me."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yao looked at Mo Xiaoqing with contempt, "You?! You are stuck in the mud now, and you still want to investigate the case."

Mo Xiaoqing couldn't help but sneer.

"Captain Xu, can I ask you something? Do you believe that I killed Chen Xinhua?"

Xu Yao's rapid steps suddenly stopped, and then he turned around and looked at Mo Xiaoqing with deep eyes,

"Mo Xiaoqing, let me ask you, have you ever lied to me?"

Mo Xiaoqing didn't know why Xu Yao asked this. She recalled everything for a long time and shook her head firmly,

"No. I have never lied to you, Captain Xu."

Xu Yao's eyelashes trembled.

Really? If he hadn't lied, who was the person he met in the pavilion in the open-air garden that day? Who

was the person who sat on Li Tianfeng's legs and acted coquettishly?

The words came to his lips and were swallowed back.

Should he believe Mo Xiaoqing? He was in a daze and felt that he was increasingly unable to understand the girl he loved so deeply.

"Mo Xiaoqing, let me ask you, did you kill Chen Xinhua?"

Mo Xiaoqing almost screamed in answer, "Xu Yao, I can't say it. I have no reason to kill him."

She was so anxious that she called Xu Yao's name directly, and quickly admitted her mistake, "Xu... Captain Xu... I'm sorry! I couldn't help but call you by your name again. Actually..." She

cried as she spoke, "My mind has been really confused recently. I have been forcing myself to believe that our relationship has not changed, and that you still love me. But I feel that you have been very cold to me recently.

Xu Yao, if you are tired of me, you can tell me directly, I can bear it."

Before Mo Xiaoqing could finish her words, Xu Yao threw out a sentence, "What time is it now, can we not talk about personal feelings?"

With this retort, Mo Xiaoqing was speechless.

Xu Yao returned to the room, feeling even more depressed. He poured a glass of wine and drank it down his throat. He took out a cigarette and started to smoke.

He shook his head and forced himself to get back to work.

He began to sort out the clues he had found. He called Deputy Director He Shenming again and explained that a death case had occurred on the island.

Since the criminal police team was still on annual leave, Deputy Director He suggested that Xu Yao be directly responsible for the trial of the case.

The investigation site of the case was in the small villa on the island. If there was anything that needed to be coordinated with other departments, Deputy Director He would be responsible for coordinating.

Xu Yao sorted out the ins and outs of the case. Originally, this work had always been assigned to Mo Xiaoqing.

But now it was done by Xu Yao alone.

Xu Yao reconstructed the scene in great detail, and sent it to his superiors, which was also approved by Deputy Director He, but it still did not help the investigation of the case. Xu Yao

once ordered Liu Xiaobo and others to focus on investigating the relationship between Chen Xinhua and his brothers and sisters, and then verify it, but they got nothing. His sisters all expressed great sadness about their second brother's affairs, and said that the two older brothers were not bad people. They just liked to play a little, hanging out in nightclubs, and changing girlfriends was like changing clothes.

The investigation of relevant physical evidence at the scene did not make significant progress, because there were basically no other clues except the wooden chair where the deceased sat and the hemp rope on his body. In addition, there were footprints left by Mu Xiaoqing in the room.

The hemp ropes tied to the bodies of the deceased were common daily necessities, so searching for them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The iron chain used to make money at the scene had been identified, but it was just a dog chain used to lead pet dogs. Its sales outlets were also spread all over the city, so it was difficult to follow up as a clue.

There was no progress in the trace identification, and the technical department said that they could not find a breakthrough.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that this case is a revenge killing. And the murderer is an acquaintance of Chen Xinhua.

And this case may also be related to the case of Tang Hai's daughter hanging.

Early in the morning.

Although it is early spring now, there is a strong wind, and Haidao still feels a sudden chill.

At 10:30 in the morning, Xu Yao went to Tang Hai's office to find him.

Tang Hai is an honest man, and he usually lives a routine life. He either sleeps or eats in the villa, or works in the office on the island, or handles things in various places on the island.

This time when Xu Yao went to find Tang Hai, he did not greet him in advance, but went straight to his office.

When he arrived at the front desk, Xu Yao showed his police officer ID. Tang Hai's assistant naturally wanted to take him to see Tang Hai respectfully, but Xu Yao refused.

Xu Yao meant to let the assistant tell Tang Hai the specific location of the office and find it himself.

After getting the location, Xu Yao went straight to Tang Hai's office on the sixth floor, which was the top floor. The entire top floor was used as Tang Hai's office. As soon as Xu Yao walked out of the elevator, he smelled the smoke of burning paper.
