Chapter 13: A man shall not be disguised
"Three months ago my mom needed surgery, the huge cost is a huge amount of money for our average family, I need to work three jobs a day to earn money to support my mom's medical bills, I have found a lot of work, only the bar pays a little more. Working during the day and working part-time at a bar at night. Once I met Sister Xiao Dai in the hospital, she not only helped me raise money after knowing about me, but also told my boss about my situation, not only advanced my salary for half a year in advance, but also lent me a lot of money. ”
"Was the operation successful?"
Tears rolled in her eyes, then ran down her cheeks on either side. "My mom passed away a week ago. ”
Jiang Cheng took out a tissue from the paper drawer on the table and handed it to her.
The words of comfort at this moment were not convincing at all, but he had to say: "Mourning and change." ”
He Yan asked, "It seems that you have a good relationship with Mo Dai." ”
The girl nodded: "She has been taking care of me since I went to work, and she usually goes to the hospital to help take care of my mother." ”
He Yan deliberately asked: "She and Boss Xu are boyfriend and girlfriend?"
The girl replied: "No, it was our boss who chased her, but she was rejected by Sister Xiaodai." Her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "You don't suspect that the boss killed her, right, he was very good to her and wouldn't kill her." ”
"Is there anyone who offends Mo Dai in the bar, or is there anyone looking for trouble with her. ”
The girl quickly said, "Yes, but our boss will take care of it for her." ”
Xiao Jingyao said: "You know the things between them very well. ”
"Everyone in the bar knows that the dispute between Sister Xiao Dai and the customer was resolved by our boss for her, but the day before yesterday, Foreman Tao and Sister Xiao Dai also had a dispute. ”
"Because of what. ”
"I don't know, I heard from a colleague. ”
"You go get busy first, we'll look for you again if you have any questions. ”
The girl stood up, took a few steps and turned around: "Sister Xiao Dai was not killed by the boss." ”
"Don't worry, we'll look into it. ”
He Yan said with certainty: "Boss Xu is not a murderer. ”
"Why so sure. ”
Xiao Jingyao replied first: "A man's intuition"
"Intuition is sometimes just a good way to comfort yourself. ”
The last person to come in was the Tao foreman, who had an argument with the deceased.
"Miss Tao, please be seated. ”
"Thank you. ”
Jiang Cheng poured a glass of water and put it in front of her: "I heard that you and Mo Dai had a dispute not long ago, and there has always been a festival between you. ”
Foreman Tao was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Yes, that doesn't mean that I killed the person." ”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking. ”
"That day the customer made unreasonable requests, she quarreled with others, I just persuaded her to say a soft word to the guest, even if the matter passed, but she didn't listen, don't look at her usually don't speak, in fact, she is also a stubborn person, all others are good to her, all ignored. ”
Xiao Jingyao whispered to He Yan: "How can the last sentence seem to be about you." ”
He Yan replied: "Everyone has their own unique personality. ”
Xiao Jingyao pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"What do you have to say about Mo Dai? ”
"Although I usually hate her, I don't have the intention of killing her again, but there is someone you want to ask. ”
"Who. ”
"Zhang Xuan, the bartender at the front desk, but he didn't come today for leave, and the emotional entanglement between Zhang Xuan, Xiao Dai, and the boss couldn't be finished for one night. ”
"How to say. ”
Zhang Xuan and the boss both like Xiao Dai, Zhang Xuan has confessed to her in public many times, I heard that the boss is also pursuing her in private, but they are all rejected, maybe one of them killed her out of love and hatred. ”
If you have to choose, whether to choose Zhang Xuan as your boyfriend or Boss Xu. ”
Director Tao said shyly, "I'm already married. ”
He Yan broke her imagination: "It's just an assumption." ”
"It should be Boss Xu. ”
Jiang Cheng asked with interest: "Tell me about it." ”
Xiao Jingyao stood up, her body shook a little, and she walked a few steps away and was stopped by He Yan: "Where are you going?" ”
"Washroom. ”
Xiao Jingyao's cheeks were slightly red standing in front of the mirror, she turned on the faucet and washed her face, and patted her cheeks gently, as long as she drank wine, she blushed and dizzy, but she was very sober, and she would listen to what the other party said.
When she came out of the bathroom and passed by the locker room, she recognized the voice, it was the girl just now, Xiao Jingyao walked to the door gently, her ears were attached to it, and her anxious tone seemed to be calling someone, vaguely she couldn't hear clearly.
The door was opened without warning, and the girl looked at Xiao Jingyao standing outside the door, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I just went to the bathroom and can't remember the way back. ”
"I'll send you there. ”
"Trouble. ”
My colleague knew very little about Mo Dai, and there were no important clues if he continued to ask.
Out of the bar, the cold wind blowing made Xiao Jingyao shiver.
The girl came out of the bar and stood in front of the door, "Mr. Shen, I know that you are one of the best in Xunzhou to solve the case, and Sister Xiaodai's death can be revealed as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Cheng glanced at He Yan and said to the girl: "Don't worry, we don't have any reason to let go of the bad guys, it's not safe on the road at night, go home early." ”
"Hmm. ”
After the girl left, Jiang Cheng said, "I still have some things to deal with, Lao He, Jing Yao will trouble you to send it back." ”
"I'm not her babysitter. ”
"Send people home safely, your work today is done, unlike me who have to go to the police station to continue working overtime. He walked up to his car, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.
He Yan, who was passively left, looked at her and said in disguise: "Your appearance is very safe, and you can't pose any threat to people who are uneasy and kind." ”
She glanced at him faintly: "Judging a person by their appearance will only make someone appear lower." ”
He Yan put his hands in his pockets, "In order not to lower your lowness, then see you tomorrow." ”
He Yan walked a few steps away, not knowing if he was worried that she was outside alone or for some other reason, he turned his head and looked behind him, Xiao Jingyao did not leave in the car, but walked in the opposite direction with him.
He Yan sighed slightly, and quickly followed her pace: "Your family is not here." ”
Xiao Jingyao looked up at the night sky at a 45-degree angle, "Why are there no stars in the city?" ”
He Yan also looked up at the night sky like her, "Due east." ”
She looked at it for a long time, looking up at her neck until she felt soreness, and she didn't see it.
"Lie to you. ”
She retracted her neck and looked at his side at eye level, eager to poke a hole in him.
For He Yan, who has a normal biological clock, it was less than twenty minutes before he went to sleep. As soon as the car came out of the community, He Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, rang, took out his mobile phone and saw the caller ID, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously opened the answer button: "You'd better give me a reasonable reason." ”
The other person's voice reached his ears through the earpiece, "The key has fallen in the bar." ”
"Stay in the hotel. ”
Her confidence in speaking seemed to be a little insufficient: "The ID card is also available." ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of He Yan's mouth, as if he had been defeated by the other party.
He took her home, opened the door, reached out to turn on the light at the entrance, the room was pitch black, only to realize that today was the day he paid the electricity bill, his slender white fingers pressed on the mobile phone screen, he turned on the flashlight, took out new slippers from the shoe cabinet, put them on the ground, and lightly opened his lips: "In order to avoid the deterioration of indoor air quality, your range of activity can only be in the living room." ”
The person had to bow her head under the eaves, and she said obediently: "Understood." ”
He left her in the living room and went upstairs on his own.
It was late at night, and there was silence around her, and she thought of the whiteboard in front of her left plastered with pictures of the deceased, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
By the moonlight shining through the window, she slowly walked to the second floor step by step, holding on to the handrail of the staircase.
She came to the second floor, where her own breathing could be heard in the quiet corridor, and she called out nonoristically, "Mr. Shen." ”
With no one answering, she cautiously walked to his bedroom, and as her hand touched the armrest of the door, a loud voice rang out behind her: "It seems that you have crossed the boundary." ”
She was startled, turned around, and the man not far away was holding a lit candle in his hand, reflecting the coldness and resoluteness of his face, and his facial features were handsome.
She came up with a bad excuse: "It's too dark downstairs, I'm looking for a candle." ”
He Yan didn't give her the candle in his hand, but took it himself and walked downstairs.
Xiao Jingyao hurriedly followed when she saw that he was leaving, his body was very high, the light of the candle was blocked by him, she didn't notice the steps under her feet, she stepped on the air, and her heart suddenly jumped heavily.
When she reacted, she realized that she had fallen into a warm embrace, his face was very close to her, her whole body was slightly tense, and her legs were a little stiff.
Xiao Jingyao's face suddenly turned hot, her expression was a little ashamed, she took a step up the steps, and distanced herself from him.
He took her hand and spoke in a low voice, "Follow me obediently." ”
She pretended to look at him unintentionally, the other party's expression was calm, she was slightly relieved, she let him lead, and slowly walked to the living room.
When he arrived in the living room, he let go of his hand, took out a few candles from the cabinet, lit them, and placed them in different places, instantly brightening the dim corners, "Pay the electricity bill at the nearest business hall tomorrow." ”
She casually glanced at the front right, her face pale.
He Yan didn't hear her words, he followed her gaze, the photos on the whiteboard loomed under the dim light, and looked even more eerie, and then walked to the whiteboard as usual and pulled out a white cloth from behind to cover it. There is an irony in the words: "Your expression reveals your ignorance of death." ”
Xiao Jingyao looked at him disdainfully: "Everyone has a side of fear in their hearts. ”
"That's just for some people who are mentally poor. ”
