The director heard the subtext of this sentence: "You have a suspect."
Xu Jiajia was just suspicious and hadn't confirmed it yet, so she didn't say the name: "Yes, I'll tell you when I get the evidence."
The director looked at the footprint outline on the paper and thought about Xu Jiajia's reaction. He had a guess: "Do you suspect the traitor is a man?"
Xu Jiajia didn't confirm, but she didn't deny it either: "I didn't say that."
Director: “…”
Why did you do this to him?
After seeing the director off, Xu Jiajia looked at the door lock again. Seeing that there was no trace of anything on it, she felt that it was more likely that the other party had the key.
…
6:30 pm.
Xu Jiajia, the director, and Wang Jiantong appeared in the hospital's inpatient department.
Xu Jiajia brought a chicken, a box of malted milk, and some fruit.
What the director mentioned was also a precious item.
Seeing these gifts, Xiaofang was so moved that her eyes reddened and her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, thank you for coming to see Lao Wen."
Wenlong was already awake at this time. His eyes swept over the three people one by one, finally landing on Xu Jiajia: "Are you Xu Jiajia?"
After waking up, his wife kept telling him that this time it was all thanks to Xu Jiajia.
Xu Jiajia nodded: "Yes, Senior Wen, how do you feel?"
Wenlong was very grateful for everything Xu Jiajia had done for him: "Thank you!"
Xu Jiajia thought it was about borrowing money, so she waved her hand and said, "Senior Wen, the money was given by the director. I was just running errands."
The director also explained: "I only have 20, and 80 of them belong to Wang Jiantong."
Wenlong's eyes reddened when he heard this. He wanted to stand up and thank her, but the wound hurt so much that when he moved, his facial features suddenly became ferocious. Xiaofang was so frightened that she hurriedly held his shoulders and said, "The doctor said you can't move for the next few days. Why aren't you cooperating at all?"
Wenlong saw his wife's tears and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I promise you, I won't move until the wound heals."
Xiaofang blushed with embarrassment when she thought of the other people in the ward. She looked at Xu Jiajia and the others and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you laugh."
The director had worked with Wenlong before and knew his character: "He's stubborn and won't listen to advice. When the higher-ups told him not to continue investigating the case, he just refused to listen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost an arm."
The director is rubbing salt into Wenlong's wounds.
But Wenlong was not sad. He even thought that if he had the chance to do it again, he would make the same choice.
Seeing that the injured man was in good spirits, Xu Jiajia asked, "Senior Wen, how did you get injured this time? Did you see clearly who hurt you?"
Wenlong's pale face froze as he began to recall the attack: "I was coming back by a small path. Halfway through, three people suddenly rushed out and surrounded me. They were holding weapons and were clearly well prepared."
Xu Jiajia continued to ask: "Do you still remember what they look like?"
Wenlong shook his head: "Those three people's appearances have obviously been processed, there's no point in telling you."
Xu Jiajia: "Did you find any useful clues in that serial murder case you investigated before?"
This made Wenlong's face change drastically, and his tone became nervous: "Why are you asking this? As someone who has been through it, I sincerely advise you not to get involved in that case. Anyone who does will be in trouble.
The opponent is both cunning and vicious.
We decent people can’t beat him at all.”
Xu Jiajia nodded, agreeing with Wenlong's words: "If he wasn't cruel, how could he have killed so many people? I looked at the files and found that the murderer killed one person almost every two months, and this situation lasted for a year.
However, what puzzles me is that after the case was closed, he also stopped hunting."
The director pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Maybe he's afraid to kill again because he's afraid to investigate the case further."
Xu Jiajia doesn't think so. With this kind of regular hunting, the murderer is most likely mentally ill and seeking excitement.
Before Xu Jiajia's case made any progress, news came from Wang Hui that his father had been beaten.
Wang Hui's father is an honest man.
I've lived to be fifty years old and have never had a quarrel with anyone.
Xu Jiajia looked at Wang Hui, who was in a bad mental state, and asked with concern: "Is your father okay?"
Wang Hui's eyes were red as he choked up, "I broke a few ribs. The doctor said I need to rest for more than a month to recover."
Xu Jiajia patted his shoulder and said, "Tell your family not to go out alone in the future."
After that, he reminded Huang Ying: "Go back and tell your family not to go out alone."
Wang Hui and the other man realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded in unison: "Okay—"
After returning home, Xu Jiajia also reminded Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, don't go out alone in the future."
When Mrs. Xu heard something wrong, she looked at Xu Jiajia nervously: "What's wrong? Is there an accident?"
Xu Jiajia didn't hide it: "I'm afraid of retaliation, so it's better to be careful."
Old Mrs. Xu patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
That night.
Old Mrs. Xu put some pepper spray into a military kettle.
When Xu Jianguo went to work the next day, General Xu handed him a pot and said, "This is filled with chili water. If anyone tries to harm you, use this."
Xu Jianguo was made very nervous by Old Lady Xu's serious expression. He took the military kettle tremblingly: "Mom, Jiajia, this job is too dangerous. What if, what if something goes wrong, what are you going to do for me?"
Old Mrs. Xu slapped him hard on the back of the head: "Talking about this so early in the morning, how unlucky!"
Xu Jianguo grimaced in pain. He hit him so hard every time, and they weren't afraid of killing him with pain!
…
A month later.
The case that Xu Jiajia took over finally made new progress.
When Wang Hui and Huang Ying learned that the deputy director was the murderer, their three views were almost shattered.
"Team leader, the deputy director, he is breaking the law knowingly! He has such a good job, why is he doing such a thing? What is he thinking?" Wang Hui's heart was pounding, and he found it unbelievable.
A cold look flashed across Xu Jiajia's eyes: "This kind of person has a mental illness and enjoys killing people."
Huang Ying looked puzzled: "If that's the case, how could he hold back even though he hasn't killed anyone in a long time?"
Xu Jiajia took out a stack of documents from the drawer and gave them to Huang Ying: "He used to kill people, but later when the police started investigating him, he started killing animals: chickens, ducks, rabbits, anything that was an animal, he killed."
Huang Ying trembled when she heard this. It was so abnormal: "Team leader, the deputy director is not working today."
"Go to hell..." Before she could finish her words, there was a knock on the door. Xu Jiajia opened the door and saw that it was the deputy director. She was surprised. Wasn't he not going to work?
Before she could speak, the deputy director suddenly stretched out his hands and said, "I am guilty. Handcuff me."
The prisoner had come to her door on his own initiative. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the prisoner. Xu Jiajia took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him, while also asking the question in her mind: "Why do you want to surrender?"
