Chapter 45: Mystery 05



As soon as the text message was sent, the other party replied immediately: [Really? 】

Wen Qing: [Yes.]

【You are so cute. 】

【……】

Wen Qing frowned, and without thinking too much, he blocked the phone number.

Hearing the text message alert, Xing Ze tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Is there anything I can do later?"

"No," Wen Qing shook his head and explained, "It's just spam."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Sheng put on his schoolbag and said, "Brother, my little dad asked me to go home for dinner."

"Do you want to come together?"

Xing Ze looked at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing immediately said, "No need."

"Okay," Ji Sheng nodded disappointedly and said to Wen Qing, "Brother, I'll come and play with you after class tomorrow."

Xing Ze frowned: "There is only one month left, if you hold on..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Sheng ran away with a grin on his face.

The soundproofing of this building is very poor. Wen Qing can hear the sound of the elevator running outside the door even when sitting in the living room.

After a while, when there was no movement outside the door, he asked Xing Ze: "Is Ji Sheng my uncle's child or Uncle Xia's?"

Xing Ze: "Ji Sheng was adopted by them."

Wen Qing was a little surprised. Ji Sheng looked very similar to Xia Yansi, and he thought he was related to Xia Yansi by blood.

Seeing what he was thinking, Xing Ze said helplessly: "Ji Sheng is already eighteen years old, and Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xia are less than thirty years old, how can they have such a big son."

"My uncle used to be a surgeon like Uncle Xia. Later, my uncle took over a patient. The operation was successful, but the prognosis was not good. The patient did not survive. My uncle probably couldn't get over it, so he changed his career to become a psychologist."

Wen Qing blinked: "What is the relationship between that patient and Ji Sheng?"

"He is Ji Sheng's grandfather, his only relative," Xing Ze sighed, "Ji Sheng was underage and had the same surname as my uncle, so my uncle later discussed with Uncle Xia to adopt Ji Sheng."

It sounds like Ji Yu is a good man.

Wen Qing pursed his lips and couldn't help asking again: "Is my uncle always so... so good?"

The pause in his words was very obvious, and Xing Ze asked directly: "Are you doubting my uncle?"

Wen Qing was stunned.

Xing Ze raised his eyelids and asked, "Did you want to say something to me just now, but you didn't say it because of Ji Sheng?"

Wen Qing nodded blankly, thinking, he is indeed a smart policeman, very perceptive.

He seemed to see hope of completing the advanced mission.

Wen Qing whispered, "I saw my uncle by the flower bed this morning."

"He..." Wen Qing hesitated for a while and organized his words, "He looks different from the others."

Xing Ze explained: "Because it was my uncle who called the police."

Wen Qing was stunned: "Ah?"

Xing Ze: "My uncle smelled the stench of the corpse, and then saw Yao Qian's hand."

"On the other hand, he is a doctor after all. He is used to seeing corpses. He is definitely different from ordinary people."

"And the investigation has confirmed that my uncle reported the odor to the property management a month ago, but they didn't find the source until today when everyone discovered the hand."

Xing Ze continued, "My uncle and Yao Qian have never had any contact, and there is no motive for committing the crime so far."

Wen Qing heard the meaning of these words, and Xing Ze did not doubt Ji Yu at all.

Xing Ze must have considered it more thoroughly than him.

Wen Qing lowered his eyes and began to wonder if he had been worrying too much because of Ji Yu's face.

On the other hand, he was a little worried that the relationship between Xing Ze and Ji Yu would cause Xing Ze to unconsciously ignore certain things, so the task of this copy was to assist Xing Ze in solving the case.

Xing Ze looked at Wen Qing's profile, his eyebrows were lowered, and he looked very docile.

The scene of Wen Qing drunk last night suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he noticed that his uncle-in-law was staring at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing has a very attractive appearance. Did the man who looks similar to his uncle do anything to him?

So much so that now...

"Wen Qing."

Wen Qing tilted his head and looked at Xing Ze blankly.

Xing Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "You can tell me anything."

Wen Qing responded and nodded obediently: "I will help you pay attention to the things in the community."

"We will catch the murderer soon."

Xing Ze: “…”

"That's not what I meant."

Wen Qing was puzzled: "What does that mean?"

Xing Ze pursed his lips and sighed, "Nothing."

"It's a good thing that you're wary."

"The murderer is very conceited and doesn't think the police can catch him. In other words, he enjoys playing tricks on the police," Xing Ze closed his eyes and said slowly, "Everyone in the community is a suspect, and the person who appeared by the flower bed today is even more suspicious."

"Be careful during this period, and remember to contact me as soon as possible if anything happens."

Wen nodded and asked curiously, "Am I a suspect too?"

Xing Ze smiled and said, "You have been abroad before, it is impossible for you to commit crimes in the country."

Wen Qing thought for a moment and asked again: "Previously, there was one disappearance case per month. Has there been another one this month?"

"No," Xing Ze shook his head, "The only missing person case reported to the police was found a few days ago."

Wen Qing's eyelids twitched, and she had a bad feeling in her heart: "Will it happen again this month?"

Xing Ze's face darkened: "Yes."

"He has probably already found his prey."

Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled, and he was somewhat glad that he was a man.

Seeing that he was a little scared, Xing Ze continued: "The murderer should be a man who hates women."

"Psychopaths often look like normal people, and may even be very well educated."

Wen Qing listened to his words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was talking about Ji Yu.

He hummed and said softly, "I will try not to go out until you catch the murderer."

Xing Ze laughed softly and said, "The cat's eye surveillance camera will recognize faces and record them. Remember to take the time to check if there are any suspicious persons."

Wen nodded gently.

Xing Ze stood up and said, "Let's go out for dinner..."

Before I could even utter the word "dinner", my cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone, frowning slightly: "I know, come over now."

Wen Qing's eyes lit up: "Are there any new clues?"

Seeing that he was still so happy, Xing Ze couldn't help but touch his head: "No, it's something else. I have to go to the bureau first."

Wen nodded lightly and watched Xing Ze leave.

Wen Qing ordered some takeout for dinner and after waiting for a long time, he received a call from the delivery guy.

"Hello, the neighborhood doesn't allow takeout to be delivered. I'll leave it with the security guard for you."

"OK, thanks."

Wen Qing went downstairs puzzled. The takeaway could be delivered at noon, but not at night?

When he arrived at the door, he saw a sign next to the security booth - no suspicious outsiders are allowed to enter the community.

Wen Qing was stunned.

The security guard in the booth opened the small window and explained, "Something happened in the community."

"Recently, takeout can't be delivered. Hey, is this noodle yours?"

Wen nodded lightly: "Thank you, uncle."

The security guard smiled and said, "Young man, don't order takeout all day long. It's not good for your health."

Wen Qing responded, and his gaze suddenly stopped.

Under a tree not far away, Ji Yu was feeding canned food to stray cats.

The setting sun was just right, and the warm yellow light fell on them, making Ji Yu look even more gentle and kind.

The security guard followed his gaze and said with a smile, "That's Doctor Ji from our community. He's a good man. He pays for the sterilization surgeries for all the stray cats in the community."

Wen Qing responded dryly and looked at Ji Yu from a distance.

Ji Yu was obviously very familiar with the stray cats. He just stood there quietly and did nothing. Several cats came to his feet and wagged their tails affectionately.

cat……

Ji Yu feeds the cat, Yao Qian abuses the cat.

Wen Qing pinched his palms, turned his head and asked the security guard: "Uncle, does Dr. Ji feed the cats often?"

"Yes," the security guard nodded and said cheerfully, "Doctor Ji and his wife are very famous in the community. Doctor Ji likes small animals, and Doctor Xia likes to cook. They often treat us to meals."

Wen Qing was stunned. How was he related to Xia Yansi?

The security guard looked him up and down and asked suspiciously, "Do you know Dr. Xia and Dr. Ji?"

Wen Qing told the truth: "I just moved in here, and I live upstairs from them. My friend is their relative."

The security guard laughed: "Then you are in for a treat. Doctor Xia's cooking skills are so good. Does he often invite you to eat?"

"Last month, Dr. Xia said he was taking the chef certification exam and he kept treating the property management to his meals. His cooking skills were really good. I even specifically asked him about the steps. I could never make the same taste when I went home..."

Wen Qing listened quietly and thought, no wonder Xia Yansi and Ji Sheng liked to have him go out to dinner so much.

"Dr. Xia is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside..." The security guard praised Ji Yu's family highly, even Ji Sheng was not spared.

Wen Qing raised his eyes and looked under the tree in front of him. There was only a white cat lying on the ground licking its feet.

It seems that Ji Yu has left.

Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to the security guard.

As soon as he entered the building, his steps suddenly stopped.

Ji Yu was standing in front of the elevator. When he heard the noise at the door, he turned around and looked over.

Wen Qing raised the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Hello, uncle."

Hearing his slightly trembling voice, Ji Yu raised his eyelids and looked at him with a smile on his face.

Wen Qing became even more nervous. He raised the takeaway and stammered, "I, I'll come down to get the takeaway."

Ji Yu chuckled and asked gently, "Wen Qing, you seem to be very afraid of me."

Wen Qing clenched the plastic bag in his palm: "No."

"You, you misunderstood."

Ji Yu nodded and said calmly: "You are afraid of the person who looks like me."

"As for me...you just suspect that I'm the murderer."

"Is it right?"

Wen Qing opened his eyes wide and looked at Ji Yu in shock.

How did Ji Yu know that I was suspecting him?

Seeing this, Ji Yu laughed and slowly explained: "Your thoughts are all reflected on your face."

“And when you’re thinking, you ignore your surroundings.”

Ji Yu raised his eyelids and said to Wen Qing seriously, "This is a bad habit."

Wen Qing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and couldn't think of any reason to defend himself.

He was just doubting Ji Yu's right.

Ji Yu looked at him quietly, analyzing Wen Qing's psychology: "When you saw me by the flower bed in the morning, you began to suspect me. After Xing Ze told you that the murderer was a resident of the community, you felt more and more that I was the murderer."

"Until he saw me feeding the cat just now, he thought that was my motive for committing a crime and asked the security guard about my affairs..."

Seeing Wen Qing's pupils shrink suddenly, Ji Yu chuckled and said, "When discussing others, remember to lower your voice. I have very sharp ears."

Wen Qing pinched his palm and stammered, "I'm sorry."

"You should say sorry to me this time," Ji Yu nodded and pursed his lips, "The fundamental reason why you suspect me of being the murderer is because I look like your dead friend."

"You think I'm just like him, that my superficial friendliness is just an act."

Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled, Ji Yu's analysis was correct.

The most fundamental reason is that Ji Yu and Ji Yu look exactly the same.

He lowered his head and apologized again: "I'm sorry..."

The smile on Ji Yu's face gradually faded. He stared into Wen Qing's eyes and said calmly, "Wen Qing, you are prejudiced against me."

"Your opinion of me is out of touch with objective facts. To be more precise, you are incorrectly denying me and are hostile to me."

"Today is the second day we met."

"You're very rude."

Wen Qing looked at Ji Yu helplessly: "I'm sorry, I, I..."

Ji Yu's face was no longer as gentle as before, and there was no expression on it.

He walked into the elevator and said to Wen Qing, "I don't think you would want to ride in the same elevator with me."

After saying that, he pressed the door closing button.

Wen Qing stayed where he was, and after a long while, he slowly walked into another elevator.

He began to reflect on his prejudice against Ji Yu.

It has existed since the beginning...

If you ignore Ji Yu's face, he is just a kind and gentle psychologist who loves small animals...

His partner, Xia Yansi, is also a good doctor with a cold exterior but a warm heart, so they were able to raise a cheerful and sunny son like Ji Sheng.

The more Wen Qing thought about it, the more guilty he felt towards Ji Yu.

He opened the door and hesitated whether to go downstairs to apologize to Ji Yu.

After changing his shoes, Wen Qing stood in the middle of the living room, feeling that this house was a little weird.

It seems that the pillows on the sofa were not arranged like this just now?

Why is the balcony door closed?

Is the computer on the coffee table closed?

…………

Wen Qing didn't remember what these things were like before he left, and he felt a little uneasy.

He put down his phone, turned on his computer, and checked the surveillance records during the time he was away.

Nothing unusual, no one has been here.

Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and muttered softly: "It's all psychological effect, psychological effect..."

He stood up and walked to the balcony to collect the clothes. As soon as he walked out, he heard the conversation downstairs.

"Dad, did you feed the cat just now?" Ji Sheng said.

Ji Yu: “Yeah.”

Ji Sheng: "Why don't you take me with you? I also want to see Niu Niu and Xiao Li."

Ji Yu asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

Ji Sheng: “No…”

Xia Yansi: "Let's eat first."

The conversation downstairs gradually became lighter, and the aroma of food wafted into the air.

It sounds like a very warm family, a family that Wen Qing has never experienced before.

He pursed his lips and put away his clothes silently.

Because of Ji Yu's matter, Wen Qing had no appetite to eat. He just ate a few bites of takeout and sent a WeChat message to Xing Ze.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qing sent a WeChat message to Xing Ze.

Wen Qing: [My uncle has seen that I suspect he is the murderer...]

Wen Qing: [He seems very angry. ]

Wen Qing: [Is there anything he likes? I want to apologize.]

Xing Ze didn't respond, he must be busy.

Wen Qingqie was reading the local news when suddenly, his cell phone vibrated.

A message pops up: [Have you eaten? ]

Wen Qing thought it was Xing Ze, so he clicked on it and saw that it was a new text message from an unknown number.

He was stunned for a moment and typed: [Who are you? ]

【Eating takeout is bad for your health. 】

Wen Qing's hand holding the chopsticks froze for a while, and he typed stiffly: [Are you the takeaway boy just now? ]

[Why do you think I am him? Did you seduce him? ]

Wen Qing: ???

Before he could type, the other party sent another text message.

[When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. I want to fuck you again. 】

Wen Qing's eyelids twitched and he stared at the word "again".

It’s the person who sent the text message during the day.

He changed his number.

Wen Qing belatedly realized what had happened.

He, he was actually harassed by X? !
