Chapter 31: Scrutiny

Lin Xi guessed that maybe the two of them had a good meal, maybe Huizi forgot that he didn't receive a call back that night.

And what she didn't know was that smile on her face in her sleep.

When she woke up the next day, there was still undried saliva at the corner of her mouth, and she wiped it, as if she had smeared a layer of honey on her face, and she looked like she was full of happiness and peach blossoms all day long.

was obviously noticed by Han Yuan and pestered her to explain truthfully. I saw Lin Xun shyly hanging his head and biting his lip, but in the end he didn't say anything, leaving Han Yuan with a meaningful and greasy smile.

At this moment, Han Yuan felt that Lin Xi was also a little woman in her early twenties, and the complicated thoughts and emotions generated by the school sports were temporarily left behind.

After class at noon, she first went to the professor who was absent from class on Friday and asked about the progress of the class. After returning home, I did a set of yoga, had a small solo concert in the bathroom, and spent two hours unhurriedly cleaning myself up.

He didn't wait for Ye Zeyan's message until four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Xi couldn't help but send a text message: [Where are you going to eat tonight?]

Half an hour later, waiting for a reply, she couldn't sit still at all, grabbed the car keys and drove the small BMW directly to the Nancheng Police Station.

She continued to be in a hot-headed state all the way, and when the car really arrived at the door of the police station, she circled around the corner a few times before calming down.

She couldn't just rush into the police station to arrest people, right? Besides, it was still a question whether she could get in. When the time comes, he will be charged with obstructing official business.

Maybe the man is going to the police to solve the case? What about her...... You can go to the door to see if his car is parked in the police station.

As he hesitated, the music in the car stopped abruptly and was replaced by the beep of an incoming call.

She was excited, and her eyes were quick to stop a second before she was about to press the call button, and quickly stopped on the side of the road, and waited three more times before answering the phone.

"Hello Captain Ye. In addition to the teaching staff, Ye Zeyan was a little depressed when he was not familiar with her, and called him by his name.

Captain Ye has been called by her for so long, and he actually ...... The more you listen to it, the better it is for you.

The man snorted faintly, "Where are you?"

She couldn't tell him she was near the police station, even if he didn't think she was too proactive, for fear of mistaking her for stalking him.

What if he happened to be near NTU? It would take nearly 30 minutes to drive back from here......

"I, I'm in the city. She choked on herself when she opened her mouth, and she didn't dare to say more for fear of revealing her feelings.

The man held his mobile phone in one hand and rested the other hand on his desk, and on the computer screen was a boutique home-cooked meal in the city that he had just searched.

Before he could speak, the door of the office was opened after a few knocks by Yang Li. She didn't choose to take a vacation this time, and wanted to save until the Spring Festival, so she stayed in the bureau.

The word "senior brother" couldn't be retracted, and when he saw the man on the phone, he gestured to indicate that he was going to get off work, and after getting the man's approval, he hurriedly retreated.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Lin Xi heard it and hurriedly apologized habitually, "Are you busy?" ”

The other end of the phone was startled, Ye Zeyan looked at the door that was slowly being brought shut, and chuckled, "It's okay, you just said that you were in the city." ”

"Oh, I just washed the car. "I didn't mean it, I said it quickly, and I regretted it when I finished saying it.

Because when the little BMW stopped at the door of the police station, Ye Zeyan rubbed a finger against the car door and was stained with a fine layer of ash. Looking up at Lin Xi's face, he even raised his finger.

She hadn't experienced the embarrassment of capitalization in a while.

The man looked through the passenger window, looking at her delicate makeup, and his heart softened.

He hooked the corners of his lips and laughed, "Do you want to wash it again?"

Lin Xi, "......"

He sneered dryly and hung his head.

Then she heard the passenger door open, and the tall figure of the man loomed over her.

Ye Zeyan had already closed the car door and sat down beside her.

*

The two really found a place to wash the car nearby, and after the man's end, the man showed the way, and 5 minutes later, the two arrived at a Hangzhou home-cooked restaurant.

The decoration of the restaurant is very stylish, with a small bridge and flowing water style. Different shades of wood are dotted throughout the restaurant, and the yellow light beams shine on the wood-colored dining table of the elegant seats, which is warm.

The menu was thick, and Lin Xi looked at the mouth-watering pictures of the dishes, and his eyes swept to the price that was so small that the font was negligible.

Well, the price of each dish in the triple digits or more is quite a lot.

The man sitting opposite him stretched out his long body, his tall body casually leaning on the wooden chair.

Ye Zeyan didn't look up, his face was handsome and deep, he looked at the menu lazily, and asked casually, "Do you like to eat?"

"Hmm," Lin Xi flipped through again, "If you want a West Lake beef soup and tamales, you can do anything else." ”

"Their crab roe soup dumplings are very good. ”

Lin Xi, "Okay, you can try it." ”

The man took into account her choice of Hangzhou cuisine that did not eat spicy tastes, and ordered the signature Dongpo pork, vinegar fish and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"Is it enough?" Ye Zeyan raised his eyes and asked her.

Lin Xi nodded, "Enough is enough." “

There was a pot of hot tea on the table, Ye Zeyan was pouring tea, she thought about it for a while and asked the waiter for a cup of ice water and added ice.

Ye Zeyan put down the teapot, and Lin Xi spoke first, "Will you not be able to finish eating so much." ”

Ye Zeyan continued, "If you can't finish eating, you can pack it." ”

A faint teasing smile flashed in his long and narrow eyes, and he remembered the first time he ordered a table full of breakfast at the breakfast stall on Student Street.

Because she didn't like to be lonely, Lin Xi talked to him about things in the imperial capital, and also pointed out the places recommended to her by men, like a two-day tour route map of the imperial capital.

Ye Zeyan had a lazy smile in his eyes and didn't answer. It's not the first time this kind of awkward conversation, but he's quite willing to listen to the little woman in front of him chatter.

"You're so perfunctory," Lin Xi Wu Nong whispered softly, "But I went there when I was a child, so I don't have much impression, and it's not bad to have time to play again." ”

"Well, you can sign up for a day trip or something next time, they explained it in detail. Ye Zeyan answered directly, which seemed even more perfunctory in Lin Xi's eyes.

After serving the food, the two chatted with each other. Lin Xi asked with interest some interesting things about the investigation of the case, Ye Zeyan picked what he could say and told her, and the topic was Chen Zhibiao during the period.

"He's being held in a prison in Southside now?"

"Yes. ”

"So did he admit to using halothane?"

"Well, admit it. ”

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "I am famous in my life, but I can't be ruined by him." ”

"What wise?" Ye Zeyan didn't understand what she was referring to.

"A thousand cups are not drunk. The little woman said exaggeratedly, and raised her eyebrows to show her "majesty".

"I thought it was a bit strange for him to take me around the countryside instead of taking me directly into the wilderness but around the city, in order to lower my vigilance, right?"

Ye Zeyan hooked his lips and smiled without saying a word. She can also analyze this, it doesn't seem to be as silly and sweet as it seems on the surface.

Lin Xun looked at the man with wide eyes, with an expression of "I'm so smart and quick to praise me".

Looking at her, Ye Zeyan couldn't help but tease, "What else did you analyze?

The little woman opposite really held her chin and thought about it seriously. When thinking about things, his eyes fell on the oblique upwards at random, and when he got some ideas, he looked back at the man.

"I guess he must be a repeat offender, it's not the first time. Otherwise, how could you have halothane and a mask in the car? ”

"What else?"

“……”

Lin Xi's little brain capacity was enough for her to think of this, but she couldn't lose with her mouth, "I haven't heard a word, is it useful to apologize and still need the police? If I can solve this case, wouldn't it rob Captain Ye of his job?"

Ye Zeyan snorted and didn't plan to continue to talk nonsense with her.

"Then Chen Zhibiao ......" Lin Xi suddenly remembered Wen Renjin and said, "That taxi driver, I will deal with it", or cautiously couldn't help but ask, "Is he okay?"

The man's hand holding the chopsticks paused, the question was a bit unexpected. His heart sank, but he continued his original movements, put the vegetables in the bowl, and answered truthfully, "It's not very good." ”

Lin Xi, "?"

The man put down his chopsticks, his eyes flowed, and his dark pupils were emotions that Lin Xi couldn't see.

"Prison is like a small society, where the inmates inside may still have that face on the inside. ”

What he said was a bit mysterious, and Lin Xi didn't understand and asked, "So what is he like outside?"

"As you just said, before you, before Jin Ya, he had already committed many cases of picking up corpses and raping women. No victims had been reported before, and he did not know the names of the women who had been victimized. But even if he has a bit of brains, in order to reduce his sentence, he confessed to a group of more than a dozen people who gathered together on the pretext of picking up corpses. Ye Zeyan recounted the case, and his eyes became more and more serious, "As far as Chen Zhibiao is the leader of the group, he has four or five in his hands, which shows his 'prestige' in this group."

Speaking the word "prestige", the man's tone was contemptuous and disgusting, and his emotions became more and more solemn, "As I said just now, prison is a mini-society, if he has the so-called charismatic leadership outside, this kind of person can recover a group of blind believers even in prison." With such fame, he could have become a concern and was crowded. ”

The more the man spoke, the more his expression sank, and his cold eyes stared directly at Lin Xi, seeing through her like a falcon.

She was stunned to be seen, and no one had ever looked at her with such cold and solemn eyes.

But she obviously didn't do anything wrong, but when she was stared at like this by a law enforcement officer, she doubted whether she had committed a crime.

As if someone had cast a spell on his body, he didn't dare to react too much, and sat sitting, trying to control his breathing.

The four eyes are facing each other, there is no fire, only the cold remains.

Finally, the man looked away first, picked up the teacup, and drank it all.

Putting down the teacup, his slender and powerful hand rested on the table, his eyes stayed on the teacup, and he swallowed his emotions and spoke, "Do you know something." ”

*

The mobile phone on the dining table rang at the right time, and Lin Xi saw Huizi's name, picked up the bag and walked outside the restaurant to answer the phone.

"What's wrong?" she said, her voice a little tight, with a slight tremor of palpitations.

"Lin Xi......" The other end of the phone was like her, hesitant and at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi frowned and asked, his tone more worried.

Although Huizi had always spoken directly, he was obviously trembling at the moment, and uneasy emotions surged into Lin Xi's heart.

"I ......" The crying voice on the other end of the phone made Lin Xi panic instantly, but she didn't dare to ask again, waiting for Huizi to speak.

It wasn't until five words came from the earpiece that Lin Xi's brain exploded with a bang, "I've been forced." ”

"What?!Where are you now?"

"I, I'm in a downtown apartment. ”

As Huizi spoke, Lin Xi took a deep breath, trying to clear his emotions, and covered his mouth when he exhaled so that the person on the other end of the phone could hear it. She knew that Huizi was emotionally unstable, and she couldn't let her panic affect her at this time.

"When did this happen?" Lin Xi's voice was very soft, not wanting to stimulate Huizi.

“…… Last night. ”

She called Huizi at dinner time last night, and at that time she said that she was ...... with You Yang

This thought flashed, and he was immediately strangled to death by Lin Xi in his mind.

It can't be You Yang, no one can be You Yang. Does You Yang still need to be strong?

She didn't dare to ask any more questions, and softly reassured, "You wait at home, I'll come over immediately." ”

Finally, he cautiously hesitated and asked, "Have you taken birth control pills?"

“…… No. The other end of the phone had turned into a sobbing gasp, and Lin Xi's whole heart sank.

"Don't go there if you stay at home, I'll come right over. ”

Lin Xi walked from outside the store, his steps were very hurried, his expression was flustered, he didn't sit down, but said in a hurry, "I have something to go first." ”

After she went out, Ye Zeyan was a little annoyed that she had said something serious. So Lin Xi only wanted to turn around after speaking, but was pulled by the man.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xi's eyes swept over the big palm that clasped her wrist and looked at the man who was twisting his eyebrows.

She opened her mouth, a little confused, "My friend was raped. ”
