Chapter Thirty-Six: A Love That Guards a Lifetime May Be a Joke
The three of them stayed in the woods for I don't know how many hours, Jiang Xu was fine, Su Yang's small body was shivering from the cold, Jiang Xu and Qiao Jing gave him their coats, but it didn't work, which made the two of them dislike him for a while, but fortunately, there was enough food, and Su Yang had been relying on eating to maintain calories.
Seeing the sun setting, the originally deserted woods are now on file, Jiang Xu looked at the surroundings that slowly darkened, and became more and more interested, Qiao Jing also cheered up, Su Yang saw the two of them like this, naturally he didn't dare to slack off, he took off his clothes and handed them to the two, and then looked around seriously.
Soon, the light of a flashlight shone in, Jiang Xu pressed Su Yang's moving head, looked through the gap on the edge of the rock, looked ahead, the light of the flashlight kept approaching them, and then stopped where they were hiding.
Jiang Xu pricked up his ears, although there was a lot of noise in the woods, but the sound of the two of them talking close at hand was really heard.
"How are you?"
Hearing only a low male voice speak suspiciously, Jiang Xu frowned, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought.
"Shh......h Listen to me, you'd better hide, the police have noticed this, but they shouldn't have found your trace yet, remember to protect yourself no matter what, for her sake and for you!"
After speaking, there was no sound, but the light of the flashlight was still there, and after a while, the sound of subtle footsteps sounded, Jiang Xu knew that a person was getting away from them, and just when he was hesitating whether to go out, the mobile phone in Qiao Jing's arms emitted an unnoticed green light.
Jiang Xu stood up suddenly, blocked in front of the flashlight with an arrow step, and shouted.
"Don't move, you're arrested!"
Su Yang hurriedly pulled out his gun, followed, and pointed the gun at the person in front of him.
I only heard the footsteps behind them that were walking slowly just now suddenly became urgent, and Su Yang nervously pointed a gun in that direction, but no one came after waiting for a long time.
Soon, more than a dozen flashlights shone behind them, and Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the gun into his waist.
"It's really you!"
Gao Xiang looked at Jiang Xu in front of him calmly, frowning slightly.
"I didn't expect you to stay here all the time, it seems that you have also put a lot of effort into it!"
Jiang Xu ignored it, because Gao Xiang was not the person he wanted to arrest, but he was not surprised that Gao Xiang appeared here.
"The murderer is in the depths of the woods, there is a cave in front, you go to chase the murderer, the personnel of the forensic department on your feet go to the cave to collect clues, and there is a headless female corpse here, it is Liu Min's corpse, bring the corpse back!"
Nearly twenty police officers immediately responded and began to search in the mountains, Su Yang and they took Gao Xiang back to the mountain, they looked at the place where the general accomplices went up and down the mountain, Jiang Xu felt funny, after going up, it was only a few dozen meters away from the tent set up by the staff, and they also specially transferred the ladder.
"Stay here and don't move!"
As soon as Jiang Xu's words fell, he only heard a loud 'bang' at the bottom of the mountain, it should have been someone shooting, Jiang Xu looked at Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang closed his eyes, knowing that everything was over.
Jiang Xu walked up to him and smiled at him.
"Don't pretend anymore, I already know the truth, the person under the mountain is none other than the senior of the company you respect who was forced to jump off the cliff, but ...... You're not an accomplice, but you should be one of the accomplices now!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Xiang suddenly opened his eyes, a touch of scarlet gas flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to rush in front of Jiang Xu, but was held down by two police officers.
"I'm an accomplice, I'm the only one, don't be smart!"
Jiang Xu ignored it, just looked at him heavily, and only felt that the man in front of him was ridiculously stupid.
"It seems that you are really stupid, all your every move was planned in advance by the real accomplices, including you against the police, and of course you appeared at the bottom of the mountain tonight! Your love is just an object to be used by her, and her head is also very good, but it's a pity that she gets carried away and shows her feet!"
Jiang Xu waved his hand, asked people to take Gao Xiang back, and specially instructed them to take him back to the sub-bureau directly, and don't let him come into contact with anyone! The murderer under the mountain was also brought up, Jiang Xu didn't even look at him, and walked towards the villa, in his heart, he was only interested in another person.
Qiao Jing and Su Yang followed Jiang Xu strangely, Jiang Xu walked to the back of the villa, and then stood near the villa where Liu Min lived, and stopped in front of a crooked water pipe.
"Climb up!"
Su Yang looked at Jiang Xu in disbelief, and then sank his face.
"Don't be strong! This water pipe has no place to stay, how can you climb it?"
Jiang Xu took out his mobile phone, dialed Shuqing's phone, and soon Shuqing came.
He looked at Su Yang and laughed.
"You definitely won't be able to climb up, but you can!"
Shu Qing wore a rope, and according to what Jiang Xu said, he pedaled on the small gap behind the water pipe, climbed to the top of the villa, and then tied the rope to a pillar on the top of the villa.
Su Yang was already sweating profusely.
"That person ran here at that moment, and suddenly disappeared, if he really crawled like us, he would definitely be caught by us!"
Jiang Xu laughed and nodded.
"Without training, it only took two minutes for Shu Qing to go up, what do you think if you have trained professionally?"
Su Yang's eyes immediately widened and he was not convinced.
"She's a girl with small ...... feet"
Halfway through speaking, Su Yang's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Jiang Xu, who and both Jiang Xu and Qiao Jing nodded.
"So I didn't say that the accomplice is a girl!"
Several people found some faintly visible footprints on the top of the villa, and some suspicious traces, Shu Qing and Jiang Xu collected these things, and then went down, Jiang Xu quickly found Wu Lei, arranged some things for Wu Lei, and asked them to go back first.
"Go back first! I'll go somewhere!"
Although several people were curious, they didn't follow, this is the most basic respect, Jiang Xu walked alone to the tent set up by the staff at the bottom of the mountain, in the dim tent, a petite figure, sitting at the table, calmly looking at the photos on the table.
"You're still there!"
The girl raised her head to look at Jiang Xu, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Did you catch the real murderer?"
Jiang Xu nodded, pulled over the stool and sat opposite the girl.
"You don't want to meet him?"
The girl raised her head, the corners of her mouth raised in a graceful arc, and the red nail polish on her hands sparkled.
"I don't know him, why do I want to see him? It's just a pity that Gao Xiang, I didn't expect ......"
The girl lowered her head, her eyes flashed with tears, as if she was very sorry, Jiang Xu smiled, and then looked at the girl.
"At first, I really thought that Gao Xiang was the accomplice who had been supporting the murderer, until I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I thought so, and even all my traps were done against Gao Xiang, but unfortunately, I still guessed wrong...... Same as Liu Min. ”
At the mention of Liu Min, Jiang Xu deliberately accentuated his tone, and sure enough, the girl's eyes lit up, she frowned, and her face turned white.
"I've been thinking about two questions: first, why did Liu Min suddenly become the target of the murderer, even if the content of her reasoning is closer to the truth, it is impossible for us to know more than we know; second, why did Liu Min give the murderer a chance to let the murderer accurately lock on her? As long as these two problems are not solved, the case cannot be solved! Later, I accidentally found Liu Min's body at the bottom of the mountain, and I understood the answers to these two questions!"
The girl's hands nervously rubbed against each other, and her whole body began to tremble with fear.
Jiang Xu ignored the changes in the girl and continued calmly.
"Because Liu Min did guess the truth, but the truth she guessed was the same as we guessed, that is, among the staff on the mountain, someone has been supporting the murderer, and I think that the accomplice she guessed is also Gao Xiang, because from beginning to end, Gao Xiang has made the most strange moves in the whole case, and it is also the most suspicious, but I still don't understand, she and Gao Xiang have not been in contact, why is she being targeted? There is only one answer, that is, the accomplice she guessed is not the real accomplice, and what she knows is known by the real accomplice, which also solves the second problem by the way, the accomplice notified the murderer after thinking that Liu Min might be a threat, and informed the murderer of Liu Min's location, so that the murderer can lock on to her so accurately!"
The girl didn't speak, and her whole face was already pale, but Jiang Xu could see that she was trying her best to calm down.
"The last question that I have never been able to understand is that if Gao Xiang is not really an accomplice, then what kind of role does he play in the whole case? He has always been the first among you to come out, not only clashes with the police, but also with provocative words that make people have to doubt. It wasn't until I heard the conversation between him and the murderer at the bottom of the mountain that I decided that he could never be an accomplice, and if he was, then the murderer would never show a suspicious attitude when he saw him, but the murderer did not kill him because he was suspicious, and the murderer's identity was revealed, he was a person you all know, but he could not be exposed to the public eye, because once he was exposed, it was likely to cause more trouble, or even lose his life! I think his true identity does not need to be said!"
The girl took a deep breath, then spit out heavily, looking up on her pale face with a hint of pleading.
"That doesn't mean that Gao Xiang is really not an accomplice, maybe Gao Xiang didn't show his true face before?"
Jiang Xu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he smiled appreciatively at the girl.
"You're smarter, much smarter than I thought! Yes, of course, that doesn't clear his suspicion, but after we brought him up, I deliberately told him my reasoning, and guess what his attitude was?"
When the girl heard Jiang Xu say this, she was deflated, as if she had guessed Gao Xiang's actions at that time.
Jiang Xu knew that her last line of defense was about to be crushed, so she continued without leaving a gap.
"The average person, in this case, the first thing that comes to mind is to shirk responsibility, even if he is really an accomplice, he will definitely refute it vigorously, especially if, as you say, he has never faced the murderer with his true face, then there is even more reason to convince us. But if he wasn't an accomplice, let alone a fool who would dare to bear such a heavy charge. But he insisted that he was an accomplice, and he took all the charges with all his might, don't you think this is abnormal? After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, he not only knows who the accomplice is, but also wants to protect the accomplice and use himself to hide the true identity of the accomplice, and who would let him be willing to gamble his life of freedom to do so?"
The girl slumped in her chair with a mocking smile on her lips.
"What an idiot!"
Jiang Xu's expression became cold, and his eyes flashed with coldness, this delicate, beautiful and innocent girl in front of him is indeed easy to arouse the care and love of the opposite sex, and it is inevitable that someone is willing to go to the soup for him, but a beautiful woman is likely to be a stinger, and the love that she guards with her whole life may just be a joke.
Jiang Xu thought that the girl was ready to do the law, but she didn't expect her to stay still, but looked at Jiang Xu with interest.
"How do you think that Liu Min has been in contact with me?"
Asking this question was tantamount to admitting his crime, and Jiang Xu's nerves relaxed suddenly.
He reached out and took the girl's hand, the girl didn't expect him to do this, showing a puzzled expression.
"It's this! Nail polish! A cautious and cautious girl, in the terrible environment around her where death may happen at any time, how can she have the leisure to wipe any nail polish? That's why I decided that she didn't wipe the nail polish herself!"
The girl suddenly realized, sighed and laughed.
"I didn't expect it to be this, I originally saw Liu Min in frequent contact with you, but I just wanted to get close to her through the topic of girls, but I didn't expect it to become an important clue for you to lock me!"
