That night, Xing Haodong woke up once in a daze.
The anesthetic had worn off and he was sweating profusely from the torture of his wounds.
In order not to wake Jiang Mingxin, he forced himself to remain silent.
But Jiang Mingxin was a light sleeper, and even the slightest movement could wake her up. When she found that he woke up, she immediately went forward and hugged him.
"If it hurts, just scream. I'm the only one here, no one else will see it."
Knowing that he had a strong sense of self-esteem, she deliberately made this joke, hoping that he would relax a little, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to make a single groan.
Helpless, Jiang Mingxin could only go to the nurse to ask for painkillers.
But painkillers require a doctor's prescription, and the nurse said she didn't dare give them to her at all. She then asked about a pain pump, but she didn't know that pain pumps are a scarce commodity these days, and currently they are not available anywhere else except in Jingshi and Haishi.
There was no other way, Xing Haodong could only endure the pain until the pain subsided and he gradually fell asleep.
However, Jiang Mingxin could no longer fall asleep, so he left the hospital before dawn and went outside to find breakfast.
Patients after surgery need to eat lighter meals, so after much thought, she only bought white porridge and braised noodles.
As soon as she returned to the ward, Jiang Bin rushed over and dragged her out.
Seeing his anxious expression, Jiang Mingxin immediately had a bad feeling.
"Zhou Kui ran away?"
Jiang Bin's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"I'm not entirely sure about this. The leader of the investigation team has sent me to ask you to go to the Municipal Bureau immediately. There are a few mission details I need to verify with you."
Jiang Mingxin narrowed his eyes in confusion and looked him up and down. "Xing Haodong is seriously injured and still lying in bed. Why can't we wait until he wakes up? What happened to make you so anxious?"
Jiang Bin looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while and then sighed heavily.
"Sister-in-law, you're in big trouble this time!"
Jiang Mingxin frowned, "What do you mean? Can you tell me everything at once?"
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I can't tell you the details, but you have to go to the city bureau."
Jiang Bin's expression was very difficult. "I hope you will voluntarily go with me to the Municipal Bureau and explain the problem clearly."
"What do I need to tell you?" Jiang Mingxin was increasingly puzzled. He turned around and glanced at Xing Haodong. "What will happen to your boss if I leave?"
Jiang Bin replied: "The team will send someone to take care of him, you don't have to worry about that."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Jiang Mingxin turned around, tucked the quilt for Xing Haodong, and followed Jiang Bin into the police car.
In less than twenty minutes, we arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Led by Jiang Bin, she walked into the cold and empty building, and was soon led into a small interrogation room.
Two police officers in military green uniforms came in with pen and paper and sat in front of her.
Jiang Mingxin looked around and felt very ridiculous.
"Are you going to... interrogate me?"
One of the female police officers stared at her for a long time with a stern look on her face and an extremely cold tone.
"Jiang Mingxin, you nearly tortured the suspect Zhou Jing to death at the underground auction house. What do you want to say about this?"
Zhou Jing? Massacre?
Jiang Mingxin couldn't help but sneered: "What a joke, how could I possibly kill him?"
The female police officer knocked on the table solemnly. "Who else could it be but you? Was there anyone else besides you who followed Captain Xing into the underground auction house to carry out his mission that night?"
"No, but I definitely didn't torture and kill Zhou Jing." Jiang Mingxin carefully observed their expressions, and all he saw was confusion.
"In order to force him to reveal the location of the account book, I did slash him a few times, but I deliberately avoided the carotid artery. At most, it caused him some pain. Is this considered brutal murder?"
The female police officer raised her eyebrows. "How many times did you stab him?"
Jiang Mingxin recalled: "Three knives."
"Only three cuts from beginning to end?"
"Yes, I remember it clearly, there were only three strikes!"
Jiang Mingxin was irritated by her interrogating tone, which was like questioning a prisoner. Veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he endured it because she was Xing Haodong's colleague.
The female police officer frowned and shook her head at the male colleague next to her.
The two of them huddled together, whispered a few words, and actually repeated the previous question.
Jiang Mingxin's patience ran out.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Xing Haodong is still lying in the hospital, needing my care, and you're here interrogating me? What, now that the mission is complete and the account books have been found, you're going to burn the bridges and throw them away, throwing the bow away after the bird is dead and the dog abandoned after the rabbit is dead?"
The female police officer's eyes suddenly turned cold. "What are you yelling about? Jiang Mingxin, we're giving you a chance. Zhou Jing definitely had more than the three stab wounds you mentioned. When the armed police found him, his body was covered in stab wounds. He looked like a bloody man!"
"Impossible!" Jiang Mingxin said with great conviction, "I know exactly what I did. If he has other injuries, someone must have attacked him later."
The female police officer's face was filled with indignation, and she gritted her teeth: "You are still lying after all this. Captain Xing is truly blind."
"I'm not lying!" Jiang Mingxin slammed the table and stood up, almost unable to control his anger. "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone. Show me the evidence!"
The male police officer then spoke up, "We've already sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the underground auction house. The finance office, a key location for the Zhou criminal group, is also equipped with cameras. Anyone who watches the footage will know for sure what you did."
Jiang Mingxin frowned and sat back down, "Okay, I'll wait then."
Seeing her so arrogant, the female police officer sneered: "Jiang Mingxin, I've heard of you a long time ago. Because Yan Laoer molested you, you chopped off his penis. Do you feel proud of it?"
