After sorting out the report at the police station, Qiu Lan returned directly to Clear Water Bay, and when she entered the door, she gently hugged the big golden retriever and the little kitten, and then sat on the sofa with a notebook.

She clicked on the case file in her notebook and her eyes fell on the injury reports of the male deceased and the injured woman.

is also a knife in the abdomen, and the male deceased Shu Qiming was wounded from the bottom up, there is no doubt about this, but the female deceased's abdominal knife wound was from top to bottom, how did this happen?

Puzzled, Qiu Lan took out a signature pen and tried to stab it into the sofa pillow in various positions, but she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't get the result from top to bottom.

This case is like falling into an abyss, and the surrounding area is so dark that you can't see your fingers, and you can't find a clear direction at all.

At this moment, Li Shanghan opened the bedroom door and walked to the living room, still holding something in his hand.

"Here's to you. ”

"This?" Qiu Lan glanced up at him, and the corner of her eye fell on the light pink bag, "This is a hot water bottle?"

"Hmm. Li Shanghan pursed his thin lips, his eyes fluttered, slightly embarrassed, "Keep warm." ”

The brown sugar water in the morning was enough to surprise Qiu Lan, and now a hot water bottle appeared inexplicably, Qiu Lan took a deep breath and involuntarily raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of surprise.

She took the hot water bottle and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, and a warm heat instantly warmed her body and made her feel a lot more comfortable.

"It's the weekend, and you're not feeling well, so you might as well go and rest for a while. Li Shanghan moved his eyebrows and pretended not to care.

"No, no, I'm much better. Qiu Lan bit her red lip and lowered her eyes.

For so many years, no one had ever cared about her, let alone in such a private matter, so the expression on Qiu Lan's face was more or less uncomfortable.

However, I have to admit that in addition to being uncomfortable, she also felt a little warmth.

After a brief thank-you, she turned her gaze back to the computer screen, focusing on the puzzle to which she could not find the answer.

Seeing her serious appearance, Li Shanghan didn't say anything more, but sat down next to him with the information.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Lan frowned, her face full of puzzlement, and she was still muttering in a low voice, "Who is the murderer who is shorter than the deceased?"

"And this wound. She paused and sighed softly, "From top to bottom." ”

The long tail note accompanied by Qiu Lan's continuous air flow kept echoing in Li Shanghan's ears, he pursed his thin lips, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his eyes to stare at the person in front of him, "What are you talking about?"

"Huh?" Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows, unintentionally glancing at him, "It was a case two days ago, and the serious crime team finally found a suspect, but just now it was confirmed that he was not at the scene at all." ”

"So now I don't have a clue. Qiu Lan shrugged her shoulders and waved her hand helplessly.

"You might as well talk to me and see if I can help you. Li Shanghan put down the things in his hand and stared at the person in front of him calmly, his voice was calm.

"You?" Qiu Lan glanced at him with interest, and there was a hint of disbelief in her rhetorical tone.

"What, don't believe me?" Li Shanghan lowered his voice and became deeper, and his cold eyes were mixed with a sense of confidence, "The authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, maybe I can see something different." ”

In a word, Qiu Lan's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

His words are not unreasonable, and he is a lawyer, and he has a strong ability to observe and judge things, and maybe he will really have original opinions.

She bit her red lip and briefly told him the information in her hand.

Li Shanghan, who had a calm face, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then coldly threw out a sentence, "There is another person who is shorter than the deceased and is at the scene." ”

"The wounded, Huang Lishan. ”

In an instant, Qiu Lan's previous habitual thinking was completely broken, she opened her lips slightly, staring at the person in front of her with a stunned expression.

She never thought that the female injured person could be the murderer.

Perhaps from the beginning, she didn't think in this direction at all because the female injured person was wrapped in a layer of victim packaging.

Not only her, but even the people in the Serious Crime Unit and the Forensic Prosecution Section did not think of this aspect.

Li Shanghan, who was sitting on the side, calmly put one leg on the other, and took a sip of the water glass in front of him.

After putting down the water glass, he began the logical analysis.

"There were only reports of the dead and wounded at the scene, and there was no trace of a third party, and I have a guess about the wounds of the female wounded that you have always suspected. ”

Li Shanghan got up and took the pen in Qiu Lan's hand, referring to the posture of the Japanese who committed suicide by cutting their abdomen, from top to bottom, the direction of the tip of the nose is the direction of the knife edge, which is just the same as the wound on the abdomen of the female wounded.

A simple action made Qiu Lan suddenly realize and solve a problem that bothered her and puzzled her.

"Therefore, the female injured person injured herself to cover up others and disturb our vision. She lowered her eyes, her eyes flowed, and she silently thought about Li Shanghan's words in her heart.

"But they are lovers, how can they kill people so impulsively? She has no motive to kill. ”

"Love kills. ”

This answer was almost blurted out, Li Shanghan put down the pen in his hand, and responded blankly, "I have dealt with a lot of criminal cases in my hands, and the case of love murder is not counted, sometimes I love deeply, and it hurts more when I am injured, and in that case, I am the most impulsive." ”

"You're right. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and nodded in agreement.

This is indeed a new direction, and it is also a very likely speculation, Qiu Lan hurriedly took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Xu Chengyan.

But as soon as the phone turned to the page with the note of Officer Xu, before she could dial it, Li Shanghan's big palm instantly shook it up and pinched her wrist tightly.

"What are you going to do?"

I don't know why, he felt a little astringent in his heart when he saw Xu Chengyan's name.

Although he is now married to Qiu Lan, there is still some unhappiness in her heart when there is such a person who has always liked Qiu Lan by her side.

Domineering and wanting to make trouble, he didn't even have time to think about it, so he took a step forward driven by vinegar.

But a second after stretching out his hand, he suddenly realized that Xu Chengyan was Qiu Lan's colleague at work, and he should notify them if he found out.

The slender, jade-white hand suddenly paused in the air, slightly embarrassed.

"I, I want to tell Officer Xu and ask him to check the relationship between the dead and the injured. Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at the person in front of her suspiciously, and her voice gradually slowed, "This is a matter of work." ”

"Well, got it. ”

"Ahem. Li Shanghan clenched his fist on his thin lips and coughed lightly twice to hide the embarrassment.
