Ruan Jing's mind was very confused, for a while, Bai Su looked at her sneeringly, saying "You shouldn't trust her so easily", and for a while, Chang Yu's eyes were full of meaning when they followed the police away, and in the end, everything faded away, leaving only Xiao Chongyan's clear face.

She stopped.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on Lao Zhou's office door, and Ruan Jing stood by the door, looking light and fluttering by the dim light of the corridor.

Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, "Come in." ”

Ruan Jing walked in, saw that Lao Zhou still had a stack of uncollected photos of the scene in front of him, and stretched out his finger.

"Can I take a look?"

Lao Zhou immediately said that if this is Ruan Jing, of course it can.

While watching, Ruan Jing asked, "What did the forensic doctor say?"

"The cause of death was indeed a violent impact and a fall to his death, but because Jiang Weixin avoided the top floor on the surveillance, we still can't define whether it was suicide or homicide. ”

This is already the most information that Lao Zhou can reveal within the scope of his ability.

Nguyen nodded and turned his attention back to the photo.

Jiang Weixin fell to the ground, the body was already partially damaged, faint blood oozed from her head, and flowed all over the ground, but her eyes were still wide open, and Ruan Jing could feel her inability to look at her through the photo.

A person who once stood in front of her can only see her again in such a way at this moment.

Ruan Jing sighed, his gaze shifted, and when he saw somewhere, his eyes suddenly sank.

"You didn't take anything from her when you took this picture?"

Lao Zhou followed her gaze to the photo and shook his head, "This is the photo of the crime scene, according to the regulations, the police are not allowed to move the body of the deceased without authorization before collecting evidence, let alone take anything." ”

After speaking, Lao Zhou saw that Ruan Jing's expression was even more solemn, and this old-fashioned expression appeared on her face, and there was no disobedience in the slightest.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Ruan Jing pointed to Jiang Weixin's body in the photo, "Her necklace, the necklace around her neck is gone." ”

The puzzled expression on Lao Zhou's face that couldn't be concealed made Ruan Jing instantly understand that they had never seen the necklace at the scene of the crime.

The necklace with a huge sapphire that Jiang Weixin had been wearing around his neck.

Somehow, Ruan Jing remembered the picture in the light blue folder, which also had a sapphire with a similar shape.

Xiao Chongyan didn't come out of the interrogation room until late at night, and Ruan Jing remembered that he didn't eat lunch or dinner.

Ruan Jing followed behind him and unconsciously asked, "How is it?"

The man's face was a little tired, but his spirit was still good, and he smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry. ”

Before the end of the note, Yu Ze also came out, standing in front of the two of them, with a businesslike tone, "Doctor Xiao, please don't leave Liuchuan City in the near future, and be ready to be investigated at any time." ”

Xiao Chongyan nodded, not surprised at all, his face was unwavering, Yu Ze hesitated for a moment, and said, "Today, because there is no more evidence to prove that you are directly related to Jiang Weixin's death, we will not do anything to you if you keep silent, but if the police find more unfavorable information in the next investigation, we may apply for your arrest and investigation...... Whatever you're hiding, I hope you don't make it difficult for us. ”

Xiao Chongyan's expression was still gentle, "Thank you, I know." ”

Seeing this, Yu Ze didn't say anything more, frowned, and left with a heavy heart.

The moonlight is like a wash, the cold moon is the coolest in the winter night, and the cold air is immersed, and the thoughts in Ruan Jing's mind gradually become clear, and what happened on this day passed in her head over and over again.

Xiao Chongyan took out the car key and pressed it, but there was no response in the parking lot, and then he realized that the two were brought over by the police car, he couldn't help but shake his head, and smiled bitterly.

"I forgot I didn't come by car...... It's not good to take a taxi at this time, and it will affect you again. ”

The two of them walked slowly along the road, Xiao Chongyan turned his head to look at Ruan Jing's side face, took off the coat on his body, and wanted to put it on her, but Ruan Jing waved and refused, there was a faint alienation between her eyebrows, the focus was far away, and she didn't know where it fell.

"Jiang Weixin's matter, what's going on?"

Xiao Chongyan frowned, and stubbornly unfolded his coat, which was draped on Ruan Jing's body.

His eyebrows furrowed, his hands in his pockets, and walked beside her.

"I can only say that Jiang Weixin himself is related to another case. ”

"What case?"

"A cross-international smuggling case. ”

Ruan Jing unexpectedly glanced at the man beside him, and this glance was caught by Xiao Chongyan.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop.

The night breeze condensed, but his eyes were uncharacteristically hot.

"What do you like about me?"

Asked without warning, and directly skipped the premise of "do you like me", the man's expression was determined, his eyes were deep, staring at her as if he wanted to look into her heart, turning over and over to see through her.

Ruan Jing didn't know what to say for a while.

"How long will this liking last? If one day you find out that I am not who I am now—"

"I don't know. Without waiting for him to finish asking, Ruan Jing had already turned his head away, "I can't answer any questions from you now, because I'm not even sure that I am the real me at this moment, and what I like about you at this moment is the love in my heart." ”

After three years of memory, and the confusing relationship between the two in the past, how dare they say that they are in love, and even the word "like" is used so carefully and carefully, lest they cross the boundary.

There was a kind of loneliness in his eyes unconsciously.

An empty taxi passed by and honked its horn next to the two men.

The next day, Bai Su made an appointment to meet Ruan Jing, perhaps because of the unpleasant conversation the day before, and the atmosphere between the two of them was faintly awkward.

Bai Su crossed his legs, knocked on the cup in his hand, glanced at her every other moment, and finally couldn't help but take the lead.

"Why, just because I provided evidence against Xiao Chongyan to the police, you don't even want to talk to me?"

"I didn't mean that. ”

"But you still believe him, don't you?"

At the mention of this, Bai Su easily lost control, so Ruan Jing pursed his lips and lowered his head not ready to argue.

"This Xiao Chongyan, his identity is very suspicious, I don't worry about you continuing to stay by his side, Xiaojing, come back to Kyoto with me." ”

Bai Su brought up the old things again, and he was very obsessed with taking her away.

"I asked a friend to investigate him in Binjiang, and found that Binjiang didn't have any file files about this person, so I let people sneak into the archives——"

Ruan Jing sensed that something was wrong when she heard this, she wrinkled her eyebrows tightly and lowered her voice, "You are crazy, you are doing this illegally." ”

Bai Su's expression was a little subtle for a moment, "Breaking the law, are you worried about me, or are you worried that I found something?"

"I really found something interesting...... It's not that Xiao Chongyan doesn't have a personal file, but the personal file was destroyed, and the police didn't destroy it completely, so I found his name in an academic paper on psychology...... I found out that he also published several articles in other fields in the same journal, such as antiques, you say, why would a psychologist be interested in antiques?"

"Moreover, the types of antiques he has studied, after a while, will happen to appear at overseas auctions, once by accident, twice by accident, three or four times?"

"We can't be bold enough to speculate that he might be a smuggler. ”

Bai Su said slowly, Ruan Jing suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Who else did you say this?"

Shirasu took a sip of coffee and didn't speak.

She stood up as soon as she could, grabbed her bag and walked out, Bai Su didn't stop her, just said slowly.

"Xiaojing, you will know in the future, I am for your good. ”

Ruan Jing stopped a taxi, reported the name of the place, and urged the driver to hurry up, while he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers without thinking.

In the interval of waiting, her heart pounded.

In just a few seconds, the phone was connected, and Xiao Chongyan's magnetic bass rang in her ears through the current.

"Ruan Jing. ”

In addition to his voice, there was also the buzz of a siren on the phone.

Ruan Jing realized that he was a step too late, and he didn't know what to say, "What can I do......?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, don't come to the clinic these days. ”

Xiao Chongyan's voice was still calm, but he didn't say a few words, he said goodbye to Ruan Jing succinctly.

Putting down the phone, Ruan Jing looked at her palms, cold, and oozing cold sweat, she was nervous.

The taxi stopped at the bottom of the commercial building, perhaps because the police had just come, and the crowd downstairs had not had time to completely disperse, Ruan Jing walked all the way to the door of the consultation room, and as soon as she put her hand on the door, the glass door "creaked" open.

But there was no one in the office, and Ruan Jing couldn't help but wonder in his heart if it was when Xiao Wang left, because he forgot to lock the door due to panic.

Ruan Jing looked around the office and landed on the safe in the corner of the office.

Xiao Chongyan said that she didn't have to come again, but she still came, and she wanted to confirm one thing.

The password of the safe is four digits, it looks like it has been some years, it should not be newly bought after coming to Liuchuan City, Ruan Jing squatted in front of the lockbox, and unconsciously bit his fingernails, what is the password?

She remembered that Xiao Chongyan had said that his birthday was Lidong – incorrect.

The last four digits of the phone number – incorrect.

The last four digits of the ID card are still incorrect.

With a thought, she stretched out her finger and pressed it on the combination lock in turn—0, 6, 1, 3.

With a "click", the door of the safe popped open.

The password is her birthday.

Without thinking too much, Ruan Jing took out the red necklace from it, and by the westerly sunlight, she carefully looked at it, the red gem was not round, it had a natural depression, every curvature, every side of the reflection, was the same as the picture Ruan Jing had seen in Xiao Chongyan's folder before.

She can basically be sure that the gem on this necklace belongs to the concubine's hairpin, and even the one on Jiang Weixin's body. But it is a treasure that should be kept in the National Museum, how can it be circulated in the market?

Xiao Chongyan, she, Wu Yuan, Xu Xiaochuan, Jiang Weixin...... There is a line that vaguely begins to connect everything.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise behind the curtains.

Ruan Jing reacted quickly, her body was ahead of her thoughts, and she immediately got up and moved quickly towards the door, but before she could take two steps, a woman walked in from outside the door with a gun, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at her head.

"Miss Ruan, put down the necklace and put your hands up. ”

Ruan Jing turned around, and a stout man flashed out from behind the balcony, one after the other, apparently prepared, or rather, they had expected themselves to come early in the morning, and would open the lockbox and take out the necklace - as if someone was watching her by her side.

Those two people were wearing masks, although they were simple, but they also effectively covered their real looks, but Ruan Jing studied criminal investigation, and she threw away her face, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the woman in front of her was a little familiar.

She slowly raised her hands above her head, and the big man behind her walked over in two steps, pulling away the necklace on Ruan Jing's hand, Ruan Jing glanced at him, then put his gaze back on the woman's body, and asked tentatively, "Have we met?" ”

The woman didn't speak, her fingers holding the gun tightened, and she took a step forward, Ruan Jing sensitively noticed that the woman had moved to kill, but she didn't know what to worry about, and she was still hesitating.

Suddenly, a hissing sound of electricity came out, and Ruan Jing lowered his head slightly, seeing that there was something like a communicator around the woman's waist, and someone was directing the actions of the two people through it.

"When you get something, just leave quickly, don't do anything superfluous. ”

After a strange voice change, he couldn't hear the original timbre, or even men and women, but the order of the imperative sentence and the indifferent tone made Ruan Jing can't help but think of the email that Liu Jinqiao received.

Not allowing her to think about it, the woman heard the order and immediately put away the gun.

"Miss Ruan, we'll meet later. ”

After speaking, she nodded at the big man behind Ruan Jing, the big man understood, raised his hand and waved it fiercely at Ruan Jing's neck, Ruan Jing was dizzy and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The last thought before she passed out was that she seemed to recognize who the woman was.
