38 Because I like you
"What?"
Xiao Mubai suddenly grabbed Lin Manshu's wrist, which made Lin Manshu feel inexplicable.
Xiao Mubai looked at Lin Manshu quietly and did not answer her question.
Lin Manshu raised her wrist and asked again, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because I like it. Xiao Mubai replied seriously.
"Because I like you. Xiao Mubai repeated the answer just now.
His direct and sudden confession made Lin Manshu stunned for a while, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say. Thinking carefully about how she felt when she heard those words, she was vaguely moved. This feeling is very foreign to Lin Manshu, subtle and inexplicable.
"Why are you two going to come back to dinner yet, you're going to be late. Xiao Hanyu's voice remembered, pulling the two into reality.
Lin Manshu hurriedly shook off Xiao Mubai's hand and left the conference room, Xiao Mubai clearly saw a flush on Lin Manshu's face.
"Are you shy?" Xiao Mubai muttered, unconsciously hooking his lips and laughing.
Because yesterday I watched the surveillance all night, plus there were two people who were almost late for work, the atmosphere for breakfast was not lively. Shen Lingshan and Xiao Mubai eat quickly, and they seem to be people who are often late for work and need to rush to eat.
"No, no, I'm really going to be late, I'll go first. Shen Lingshan stuffed the last bite of food into her mouth and left in a hurry.
"I'm full, too. Xiao Mubai said and got up to leave.
Looking at the figure of the two of them leaving in a hurry, Xiao Hanyu sighed: "Eh, the public officials are so miserable, they can't even eat breakfast." ”
Lin Manshu slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "I should go too." ”
Xiao Hanyu looked at her with a blank look on his face and asked, "You don't go to work again, what are you going to do?"
"I've got something. Eat slowly by yourself, clean up all these after eating, and clean the room. Lin Manshu said and went upstairs to the room.
Xiao Hanyu chased out of the dining room and asked, "These ...... Do you want me to clean it up?"
Lin Manshu glanced back at him and said, "Otherwise, you can't do nothing, that's too unreasonable." ”
"Didn't you do nothing?" said Hanyu.
"I cooked. Lin Manshu said and ignored Xiao Hanyu anymore and went straight upstairs.
"So why do you need to cook, it's better to order takeout directly. ”
There was a complaint in Xiao Hanyu's tone, he really didn't want to wash the pots and dishes and do housework. How can a manly man be trapped by these household chores?
Xiao Mubai arrived at the office on time and found that several colleagues were not there, and the captain Ren Tao was not there. It's time to go to work, and they're not all late. So he wondered if there had been another murder.
He casually found someone and asked, "Where have they gone?"
"When the captain watched the surveillance video yesterday, he found some suspicious points, and felt that the recent serial murder case was probably related to a person named Wei Ming. The colleague replied to Xiao Mubai.
Speaking of Wei Ming, Xiao Mubai thought that after the incident that was almost dawn yesterday, he also found clues from the surveillance, and also said that the video of his appearance was intercepted. He was too sleepy at that time, and he planned to wait until after he went to work to tell Ren Tao that he had applied for an arrest warrant. Unexpectedly, Ren Tao himself had already found out.
Xiao Mubai said with admiration: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy." ”
Since this matter was personally led by Ren Tao, there should be nothing to worry about. He continued to question Zhong Nan, and the time to release Zhong Nan was running out, and if there was no evidence, he could only release him.
After leaving home, Lin Man-sook went to a middle school, where Zhong Ling went to school twelve years ago. Lin Manshu didn't know why she was so interested in the old case twelve years ago, maybe she saw the lie in Meng Yanan's eyes.
"Teacher Qi?" asked Lin Manshu.
"I'm here, you're Lawyer Lin, right? ”
Teacher Qi was Zhong Ling's homeroom teacher when she was in school, and Lin Manshu wanted to find her to know something about Zhong Ling. The two of them have already spoken on the phone, and there is no obstacle to communication.
In addition to Teacher Qi, Lin Manshu also wants to meet Zhong Ling's family if possible. But that's for later.
"Do you remember Zhong Ling?" asked Lin Manshu.
Teacher Qi nodded and said, "Yes, not only I remember, but many teachers remember." Zhong Ling's incident is probably the biggest thing we have encountered since we came to school. ”
"Then can you elaborate on the situation at that time?" asked Lin Manshu again.
"The situation at that time ......," Teacher Qi began to tell the story, she said, "I'm afraid it starts with Zhong Ling entering the school." At that time, most of the people who entered our school were urban children, and the elementary school was in the same place, so it was easier to communicate with each other. But Zhong Ling is from the countryside, so she will be ostracized to some extent, and she is introverted, so she basically does not communicate with her classmates. ”
Lin Manshu listened carefully to Teacher Qi's narration, and recorded important places, and occasionally asked some questions.
Xiao Mubai questioned Zhong Nan again, he picked up Wei Ming's photo and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Zhong Nan replied after careful identification: "Yes, he is from the same village as me, his name is Wei Ming." ”
"How is your relationship with him?" Xiao Mubai asked again.
"It's good, we're neighbors. Zhong Nan replied without subtlety, feeling that he really knew everything.
"Officer, why did you suddenly ask about Wei Ming?" Zhong Nan asked Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai looked at him, as if he was looking at him, and then said, "Now I'm asking you, you just need to answer my question well." ”
"Of course, as long as I know it, I will say it. Zhong Nan smiled harmlessly.
But Xiao Mubai looked at the smile on his face and had a strange feeling, and it was so easy to be questioned by the police. Is it really not a weak heart, or is it concluded that the police can't find his handle?
"Zhong Ling and Meng Yanan are good friends, right?" asked Lin Manshu.
Teacher Qi thought briefly and replied: "I can only say that I used to be good friends." ”
"What does that mean?" asked Lin Manshu.
"The two of them were good friends, but the relationship became very strained because of a boy. Teacher Qi explained, "I remember that there was a boy in the senior grade who liked Zhong Ling and chased her for a while. It is said that Meng Yanan also likes a boy, so the two have changed from sisters to rivals. ”
Teacher Qi laughed as he spoke: "But I also heard what others said, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
If, according to Teacher Qi, Zhong Ling and Meng Yanan had already fallen out, then how could they go out together and meet Wang Xin and the others? Since it is impossible to meet at the same time, what Meng Yanan said afterwards, "I lied that it was Zhong Ling who told Wang Xin's secret because I was afraid" is very likely to be said because of revenge......
If it were someone else, they might not be so suspicious, after all, Meng Yanan was only a twelve-year-old child at the time, how could she have such a scheming? But Lin Manshu would be so suspicious, suspecting that Meng Yanan was intentional, because she believed that human nature was inherently evil.
