"What?" The young police officer's hand trembled, and the ash from his cigarette fell.
The captain said, "Xiao Li, do you remember how Su Bing died?"
The young police officer recounted the events: "His left eye was smashed, and half of his teeth were knocked out, as if he had swallowed them. The death was extremely cruel and bloody. It was a sudden death caused by a mental breakdown."
The young officer swallowed a few times to moisten his throat and added, "Moreover, there was no blood at the scene. Even with the most advanced equipment, we couldn't find a single trace. If the investigators hadn't repeatedly assured me that the primary crime scene was that office, I would have definitely doubted that the mayor's office was the primary crime scene."
The captain took a drag on his cigarette; the flame flickered brightly, then dimmed again.
"That's right. So if you were to do it, how much time would you need to complete the above actions?" Killing takes time, especially the kind of death Su Bing committed, which requires a long time and precise techniques.
The young officer did the math in his head for a few seconds: "It will take at least an hour; cleaning up bloodstains is very troublesome."
The captain took two or three steps, stubbed out his cigarette, and threw it into the nearby trash can.
"At least an hour?" the captain said. "In the past three days, the person who has stayed in Su Bing's office the longest is Du Shizhen. The longest anyone else has stayed in there is no more than three minutes."
This shows that Ji Xiaoxiao had the time to commit the crime.
The young police officer was stunned by what the captain said.
"But when Du Shizhen left, the door was wide open, and Su Bing's secretary saw that Su Bing was unharmed." The young police officer recalled the testimonies of others.
The captain frowned. "Intact, that's a good word."
I looked up and saw the lights in the corridor flickering on and off.
"If we figure this out, the case will be closed."
The captain sighed; he still had no clue.
After being detained for twenty-four hours, Ji Xiaoxiao was released on bail by her lawyer.
"Du Shizhen, Heaven is watching what people do," the captain suddenly said.
Ji Xiaoxiao was locked up for a day, but her face was radiant, showing no signs of dejection or fear. Her skin was still so good that it would make an eighteen-year-old girl jealous.
“Evil people will be punished by Heaven.” Ji Xiaoxiao then asked, “And what is this Heaven?”
After leaving the police station, Ji Xiaoxiao returned to her temporary residence, took a shower, changed her clothes, and immediately contacted the people searching for her.
"Mr. Du, we're too late. Su Han has already moved."
Ji Xiaoxiao looked as if she had expected this, and said in a calm tone, "He has no other skills, but his ability to escape is unmatched, which is normal. The news of Su Bing's death has already spread, and I think Su Han will find out in a few days. At that time, he will naturally slip up. You should watch the opportunity carefully and not disappoint me again."
"Yes, Mr. Du, we will do our best."
Putting down her phone, Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples.
After drying her hair, Ji Xiaoxiao closed her eyes to rest and recuperate.
In the bedroom, the cool breeze from the air conditioner gently caressed Ji Xiaoxiao's face, relaxing her brows and revealing the lingering sorrow that had been weighing on her. Her tense nerves relaxed, and the suppressed pain surfaced.
A tear slowly seeped into the pillow.
Ji Xiaoxiao slept soundly without any dreams, and as the sun set, she was groggily awakened by a commotion.
After washing her face with cold water and changing into formal attire, Ji Xiaoxiao went downstairs. The Su family was blocking her front door. If it weren't for the security guard, they would have rushed in long ago.
"Mr. Du!" The security guard was overjoyed to see his savior. This family was too troublesome; the two of them were powerless to help.
"You two are good, your salaries will be doubled this month." Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the Su family with disgust. "Get rid of them, and you'll get nearly 100,000."
A generous reward always brings forth brave men. The previously timid gatekeeper unleashed boundless potential, throwing left and right hooks, and in no time at all, the entire Su family was knocked to the ground.
Su's mother lost face and pounded the ground, crying bitterly, "This is terrible! I can't live anymore! My daughter-in-law actually sent people to beat her mother-in-law! I can't live anymore!"
Before anyone could see, a fruit knife was plunged between her legs.
"Since you don't want to live anymore, then hurry up and die!" Ji Xiaoxiao laughed. "Mother-in-law, if you want to die, your daughter-in-law will hand you a knife. Isn't your daughter-in-law very filial?"
Ji Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, squatted down, pulled out the knife, and personally placed it to Su's mother's neck. The sharp blade stimulated the cerebral cortex, causing numbness and stinging.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to live anymore? Go ahead and die! If you die, I'll take care of your funeral, your wife will pay for everything, and your body will be torn to pieces and your bones scattered to the winds, okay?"
Su's mother was stunned; her mouth trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.
