Chapter 193 Suspicion



Feng Sihan suddenly said, "Niannian, I want to listen to the recording of your phone call with Fang Ning."

When Shi Nian called her best friend in the morning, she set her phone to automatically record incoming calls.

She pulled herself out of her thoughts and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Shi Nian gave it to him openly, but she felt a little confused in her heart.

Why was he listening to their conversation?

He thinks she and Fang Ning are having an affair... He doesn't believe her?

Shi Nian's mood was in turmoil, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.

Their conversation was very short. Feng Sihan finished talking and returned the phone to her.

"Nian Nian, don't you think he's a little strange?"

Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, "What's strange about him?"

"When you told him about Zhao Xinyue's accident, his reaction was extremely calm. His tone didn't change much, and his words didn't reveal much shock or sadness."

Feng Sihan paused for a few seconds, his voice deepened, "Besides that, he doesn't care about his girlfriend, and he hasn't even mentioned Zhao Xinyue alone. Instead, he cares about your birthday. Isn't that strange enough?"

Shi Nian fell into deep thought, thinking back to the content of the phone call just now, but his thoughts were tangled and he couldn't sort them out.

She was a little out of control just now, immersed in sadness, and hardly paid attention to what Fang Ning said.

She met Feng Sihan's gaze, bit her lower lip, and spoke hesitantly, "Senior said that we should wait until we meet. He is more rational than me. Maybe he wants to understand the situation first? Xinyue didn't tell me much about them, and senior didn't mention it either... Maybe he is more worried than anyone else, but he just doesn't show it."

Feng Sihan felt a little jealous. He was able to analyze the situation without any personal emotions, but Shi Nian defended Fang Ning in every sentence.

Fang Ning was just a suspect to them. Before they got the evidence, no matter how much he disliked him, he would not take his words out of context.

He will not let any bad guy go, nor will he wrongly accuse any good guy.

Feng Sihan hid his emotions in his heart and pushed the slightly cooled paper cup to Shi Nian's hand, "Niannian, don't think too much, drink some water first."

Shi Nian held the water cup and asked him anxiously, "Si Han, what did the police say? Do they have any clues now?"

“Not yet.”

Shi Nian's expression became visibly lost. Feng Sihan pursed his lips and continued, "A living person would not disappear for no reason, and a person's behavior traces would not be completely erased. At present, we are preparing to make a breakthrough in tourism. First, check the surveillance near Zhao Xinyue's workplace to see who she had contact with and who she had close contact with before she disappeared. I believe that we can lock on to a few suspects before tomorrow. If we continue to search one by one, we will definitely be able to find the flaws and follow the clues to find your friend."

Feng Sihan's voice was calm and powerful. Shi Nian's anxious mood was gradually soothed, and he felt more at ease and hopeful.

She asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

She quickly said, "Yes! I can help check the surveillance! Teach me how to check, and I can help you!"

Shi Nian's eyes were red and a little swollen because of crying.

Checking surveillance footage is not an easy job, nor can it be completed in a short time. He was worried that her body would not be able to handle it, and that she would have problems from suppressing her emotions for too long.

Feng Sihan was concerned about her mental state and looked hesitant.

Shi Nian read his thoughts, stretched out her hand and shook his arm, and said anxiously, "Si Han, please, let me do something. You let me stay in the police station, but let me do nothing, which is torture for me. I also want to help you share some of the work to the best of my ability!"

"Okay, wait here for me. I'll go get a laptop."

Feng Sihan quickly came back and sat back next to Shi Nian.

Shi Nian took a sip of water from the paper cup, and his condition was much better than when he left just now.

Feng Sihan's brows relaxed and he placed the notebook between the two of them.

He entered the command to search for surveillance footage, and Shi Nian snuggled up to him, staring intently at the screen.

Shi Nian looked at it for a while, then turned to Feng Sihan and said, "Sihan, can you find another notebook? Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of manpower for the two of us to use one?"

"One is enough."

Often, a set of surveillance images requires one person to watch.

He could keep an eye on several groups at the same time by himself. He brought the notebook over just to give Shi Nian something to do and divert her attention. He didn't really need her to concentrate on watching the surveillance.

He didn't say these words.

Feng Sihan pointed at the small grid on the computer screen and said, "Niannian, look at the two in the upper left corner. If you can't see them, look at the one on the left."

Shi Nian clenched his fists and said, "Okay."

Feng Sihan was worried and said, "If you don't want to watch it anymore and want to go home, just tell me."

"I see."

Shi Nian urged, "Si Han, let's save time and start now."

The conference room was silent, with two pairs of eyes fixed on the constantly changing screen.

Shi Nian stared at it for less than five minutes before her eyes started to ache.

She blinked and suddenly saw Zhao Xinyue appear on the screen.

The surveillance footage came from multiple surveillance cameras on the street. At the same time, Feng Sihan also noticed Zhao Xinyue's figure.

Feng Sihan paused the video, pointed at the girl next to Zhao Xinyue on the surveillance screen and asked, "Niannian, do you know her?"

He enlarged the picture to make it easier for Shi Nian to distinguish.

Shi Nian frowned and looked at her for a few seconds, then shook her head slightly, "I don't know her. I haven't seen her."

Feng Sihan recorded it and reported it to other police officers who were investigating the case at the police station.

The two continued to watch the surveillance video, and time passed by every second.

Feng Sihan suddenly heard Shi Nian's stomach rumbling and paused the surveillance video. "Niannian, take a break. What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout for you."

Shi Nian's eyes showed embarrassment. She couldn't bear to waste precious time, so she pushed the notebook to him and said, "Just let me click, you continue reading."

She picked up her phone, clicked on the food delivery app, and asked again, "What do you want to eat?"

"I eat the same thing as you."

"OK."

Shi Nian sat quietly for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at Feng Sihan. Seeing that he was concentrating on the computer screen, he opened his mouth and then closed it again. She didn't have the heart to disturb him.

She stood up with the help of the table, which immediately attracted the attention of the man next to her.

Feng Sihan grabbed Shi Nian's hand and said, "Niannian, where are you going?"

"I'll go ask how many police officers are on duty tonight. I thought since we're ordering takeout anyway, I might as well order for them all."

"Your foot is injured. Sit here and wait for me. I'll go ask."

"Okay, thank you."

Feng Sihan said seriously, "We are husband and wife, why would there be any trouble?"

After Feng Sihan left, Shi Nian lowered her head to look at her phone.

There was a noisy sound outside the door. She heard a familiar voice and looked up quickly.

She stood up, holding the edge of the table, and slowly walked out of the meeting room.

From a distance, Shi Nian saw a dusty middle-aged man and woman standing in the hall.

The two of them looked miserable and shed tears in silence.

She recognized them at a glance; they were Zhao Xinyue's parents.

When Zhao's mother saw Shi Nian, she waved at her quickly, "Nian Nian!"
