When Su He and the others looked towards the ward again, he had already grasped Wei Qing's hand and started crying.
She choked back tears as she said, "How could you be so foolish? What does her death have to do with you? How could you want to die? You're so heartless!"
Su He and the others were stunned to see him crying so sadly.
The two elderly people inside the house went over to comfort him, clearly recognizing him as well.
When Jiang Qing saw them, he released his grip on their hands and calmed down a bit, but he still stared at Wei Qing without blinking. Especially when his gaze swept over the scar on Wei Qing's neck, a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.
...
Since Wei Qing was still unconscious and would likely need some more time to recover, Su He and the others left after making sure he was alright.
On the way back, everyone was rather quiet.
Speaking of Jiang Qing's behavior just now, Hu Xing sighed and said, "I didn't expect the two of them to be so close. Seeing Jiang Qing crying like that, it was so sad. It made my heart ache."
Su He's eyes flickered upon hearing this. She had just been shocked by Wei Qing's suicide and then saw Jiang Qing's sad expression. Although she felt that something was wrong, she didn't think much of it.
But after hearing what he said, a sudden realization dawned on him, and he finally understood where the problem lay.
He couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think their relationship is too close?"
"Huh? They've always been very close. Aren't they supposed to be friends for many years? They've always been good buddies."
"No, I mean physical intimacy, like shaking hands."
As soon as she said that, everyone looked at her.
Hu Xing thought about it carefully, "No, although it feels a bit awkward for a grown man to hold another man's hand, it's normal when you think about it. They're good brothers. Even if something happened to my brother, I'd probably touch him to make sure he's still alive."
"Really?" Su He frowned after hearing this, then looked at the other two.
Jiao Weimin nodded, clearly not finding anything amiss.
Qi Yang looked at her thoughtfully and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with this?"
Su He hesitated for a moment, because it was just a guess and there was no evidence. In addition, her idea was too unusual, and she was afraid that they would think she was being ridiculous, so she shook her head.
"No, it's just that something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Qi Yang nodded. "If you feel something is wrong, you should verify it. That's how we police work. Sometimes solving cases relies on this kind of flash of intuition."
Su He nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I understand."
...
Although she wasn't entirely sure about her intuition, Su He decided it was better to be wrong than to let the matter drop, and began investigating based on her initial guess over the next few days.
Others also had their own different research directions.
A few days later, they met again for a meeting.
Team Leader Chen was also at the meeting. Perhaps because their case had been dragging on for a while, he was getting anxious and wanted to check on the progress.
"The entire case is now clear. Have you identified the culprit yet?"
Upon hearing Captain Chen's question, Jiao Weimin spoke first: "We have considered many suspicions, but they have all been overturned in the end. At present, it is very likely that it was not a premeditated murder."
Captain Chen nodded. "Have you identified the culprit?"
"No, it was too dark at the time, and there were no witnesses, so there was no way to confirm who the murderer was."
Chen frowned upon hearing this. "What about the rest? Have you discovered anything else during this time?"
