Sometimes, what we see with our eyes is not necessarily the truth, solving the case is not writing a novel, not guessing out of thin air, but paying attention to the conclusive evidence, what you think is only what you think, not necessarily the truth.

After Ding Yan took Xu Lang and them away, Ning Yanran also came to her car after settling the account, and drove to the police station with Ding Yan's police car.

On the way to the police station, Ning Yanran's expression was very gloomy, she didn't expect that she finally got Xu Lang back from Zhuxi County, Xu Lang had just arrived in S City and was involved in a murder case, which made Ning Yanran have a very ridiculous idea in her heart, is Xu Lang really a person who is destined to deal with criminals for the rest of his life? How is it that wherever he goes, there are cases?

It's just that this idea just came out of Ning Yanran's mind, and it was quickly extinguished by her, she knew Xu Lang, knew Xu Lang's personality, and knew that Xu Lang was definitely not the murderer of those two people, this is a subconscious, instinctive trust, in fact, putting aside the incident a few years ago, Ning Yanran trusted Xu Lang very much, and even admired Xu Lang a little, Xu Lang will always be the thinker, the clever plan, and the most trusted person when she was most confused and confused, but after that incident, There seems to be an unbridgeable gap between her and Xu Lang.

The police car drove Xu Lang and them to the police station, Ding Yan did not handcuff Xu Lang and them, when they returned to the police station, Ding Yan immediately put the three of them in three interrogation rooms, because Xiao Yueyue was still young and underage, so when Ning Yanran arrived, she temporarily accompanied Xiao Yueyue to stay in the No. 3 interrogation room, while Xu Lang and Lu Xing were locked up in the No. 1 and No. 2 interrogation rooms respectively.

Whether it is the interrogation room of the police station or the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau, it is almost the same, an interrogation table, a few chairs, and monitoring probes installed in various corners of the interrogation room, of course, the one-way glass is indispensable.

At this time, Xu Lang was sitting on the interrogation chair opposite the interrogation table, while Ding Yan and Deng Zijun were sitting behind the interrogation table, and the two of them looked at Xu Lang with fierce eyes.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lang suddenly felt a little funny, from the beginning of Xu Lang's memory to today, every time Xu Lang came to the interrogation room, he sat on the chair behind the interrogation table, and the one who sat on the interrogation chair was always a criminal, or an important suspect, but after a lapse of five years, Xu Lang returned to S City again, and he sat on the interrogation chair before he went to investigate Lu Ye's case.

"Name."

Just as Xu Lang was looking around and looking at the familiar interrogation room, Deng Zijun glared at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang ignored the other party, and was still looking at the interrogation room by himself, compared to the interrogation room of the Second Criminal Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau, the interrogation room of the railway station police station was obviously much simpler, which made Xu Lang have a trace of suspicion about Ning Yanran, the deputy director, could it be that she usually didn't go to the grassroots level to see?

There shouldn't be, otherwise, how could Ding Yan, as the director of the police station at the railway station, not recognize the other party when he met Ning Yanran? How could the interrogation room at the police station be so rudimentary? Thinking of this, Xu Lang subconsciously shook his head.

"Name." Deng Zijun raised his voice, looked at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang finally stopped looking around, turned his head, and looked at Ding Yan and Deng Zijun opposite.

"Smack."

Deng Zijun slapped the table suddenly, revealing an expression that he thought was very majestic, and said, "I asked you what your name is, what are you looking around?" ”

Xu Lang glanced at Deng Zijun, ignored him, but looked at Ding Yan and asked, "May I ask if I am a criminal?" ”

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook his head and said, "You are just a suspect in this case for the time being." ”

"Since I'm not a criminal, put away your usual treatment of criminals, otherwise, I can sue you." Xu Lang said slowly.

"You ......"

Deng Zijun is a young man after all, hearing Xu Lang say this, he suddenly got up from the chair, stretched out a finger and pointed at Xu Lang, and just wanted to say a few cruel words, but was stopped by Ding Yan, who was frowning.

"Xu Lang, although we don't have any evidence to prove that you killed the two people on the train, but you have been in contact with the two deceased people before, we must know if there is any problem between you, and I hope you can cooperate with us." Ding Yan looked at Xu Lang and said.

Xu Lang nodded, and he said slowly: "My name is Xu Lang, I am one year old Chinese New Year's Eve today, a native of S City, and this is my ID card." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang took out a wallet from the pocket of his clothes, and there was a thick pile of hundred-yuan bills in the wallet, Xu Lang took out his ID card from the mezzanine of the wallet and handed it to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan took the ID card, glanced at it, put it on the table, and said, "We already know this information, and I didn't ask you about it." ”

"And what do you want to ask?" Xu Lang asked.

"Where did you get on the bus?"

"Eyan City Railway Station."

"When did you get on the bus?"

"At 11:38 p.m. on the 16th of the first lunar month."

"The sixteenth day of the first month?" Deng Zijun took the pen to record while looking at Xu Lang suspiciously.

Ding Yan explained at this time: "It's February 23. ”

"According to our investigation, you bought a hard seat in Eyan City, right? Is it a sleeper in Yancheng City? Ding Yan asked.

Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes, this is our train ticket." ”

After speaking, Xu Lang handed the ticket stub of his and Xiao Yueyue's train ticket to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan looked at the ticket stub and then at Xu Lang, and he became more and more puzzled in his heart, did the white-haired man in front of him really have nothing to do with this case? However, he always felt that this man named Xu Lang was not simple, if it was an ordinary person who was facing the police, he would not be more panicked, but he would be more restrained, but Xu Lang was calm and calm, and he answered every question about himself, as if he already knew what he was going to ask, at the beginning, he felt that Xu Lang was suspicious, and now it seems that Xu Lang is even more suspicious.

"Since you are a native of S City, what are you doing in Eyan City?"

"A few years ago, I went to settle in a small county under Eyan City, and this time, I just followed my friends and took my daughter back to my hometown."

"Xu Yueyue is your daughter?" Ding Yan asked as if she remembered the little girl who was as cute as a porcelain doll outside.

Xu Lang nodded.

"Since you have chosen to settle in other places, why did you go back to S City this time and what did you do when you came back?"

"If you are invited to come back, go back to S City to deal with some things."

"Invited back? Who invited you? What are you doing when you come back? ”

"I can't tell you what to do for the time being, but the person who invited me back is outside."

"The woman?" Deng Zijun asked.

Xu Lang glanced at him and didn't speak.

Ding Yan is not a stunned young man like Deng Zijun, he has been a policeman for a day or two, so he asked, "The woman outside is your friend?" What is your name? ”

When Xu Lang heard Ding Yan ask, his eyes looked at Ding Yan a little strangely, which made Ding Yan a little inexplicable, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "Director Ding, you should know her." ”

"I should know, right?" Ding Yan was even more confused by what Xu Lang said.

Seeing Ding Yan's blank expression, Xu Lang didn't sell Guanzi, but said: "Her name is Ning Yanran, and she is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of S City, and it's strange that you, as the director of the police station, don't know your deputy director." ”

"What do you say? She is Deputy Director Ning? Ding Yan abruptly stood up from his chair and looked at Xu Lang in disbelief.

Xu Lang just smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After Ding Yan saw Xu Lang's expression, he immediately realized that he was a little out of shape, so he coughed dryly, sat down again, changed the topic and asked, "Look at these two people, do you know each other?" ”

After speaking, Ding Yan picked up two photos from the table and handed them to Xu Lang.

After Xu Lang took it, he looked at it and found that the two photos were a man and a woman, the man was a middle-aged man in his forties, the man was lying on his back on the bed, the clothes on his body were neatly dressed, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and there was a large push of blood on his chest, according to the photos, the deceased should have been stabbed to death with a sharp weapon, as for what kind of sharp weapon, Xu Lang could not be sure for the time being before he saw the body, the white sheets and bedding under the man were stained red with scarlet blood, Xu Lang had seen him, It was the man who was in Xiaoyueyue's bunk at the time, Xu Lang remembered that when he got out of the car, he saw that the other party was still alive, but he didn't expect that this man died in just a few hours.

The man Xu Lang has seen it, but the woman Xu Lang has not seen it, this is a woman who looks like she is only in her thirties, the woman looks average, has short hair that reaches her ears, the woman in the photo still maintains a sleeping position, the woman's face is purple-red, there are bleeding spots on the facial skin and eyelid membrane, the nose is slightly crooked, and there are traces of liquid in the mouth and nose, but it has dried up, and the corpse spots have already appeared, according to the photos, the deceased has been dead for at least more than 30 hours.

"Have you seen these two people?" Ding Yan asked.

Xu Lang took the man's photo and said: "I have seen this person, and when I got off the bus, I also saw him get up and get dressed, pack his luggage and prepare to get out of the car." ”

"What about the woman?" Ding Yan continued to ask.

Xu Lang shook his head and said: "Since we entered the box, this woman has been sleeping, until we got off the car, she was still sleeping, at that time, she was sleeping facing the wall, I didn't see the other party's appearance, but through her body contour and hair, I determined that the other party was a woman." ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Ding Yan immediately frowned and asked, "You mean to say that this woman has been sleeping since you came from the hard-seat car to the sleeper car?" ”

Xu Lang nodded and said, "Not only this woman, but also the man was sleeping under the quilt when we went to the carriage." ”

"Have you seen the two of them before?" Ding Yan asked.

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen them." ”

"Have you ever communicated with each other?"

"Nope."

"Was there anyone else in the carriage at that time besides the three of you and the two deceased?"

Hearing Ding Yan ask, Xu Lang suddenly looked at Ding Yan with some confusion and said, "Yes, there is a young woman." ”

"Woman? What woman? Ding Yan asked.

Seeing Ding Yan's expression, Xu Lang became more and more puzzled, he looked at Ding Yan and asked tentatively: "There was a young female passenger in the lower bunk on the left at that time, didn't you find it?" ”

Ding Yan was also very puzzled, he turned his head to look at Deng Zijun and asked, "Is there this person at the train station?" ”

Deng Zijun put down his pen, flipped through the information on the side, and said: "No, according to the information, someone in the lower bunk did buy a ticket for the lower bunk, but it was a man named Wang Haonan." ”

"Men? Are you sure? Ding Yan looked at Deng Zijun and asked.

Deng Zijun said with great certainty: "I asked the attendant on the train, and the person who bought the ticket for the lower berth was indeed a man named Wang Haonan, but the other party didn't seem to get on the train, and the attendant didn't see the man when he checked the ticket." ”

Hearing Deng Zijun say this, Ding Yan immediately turned his head, looked at Xu Lang, and cast a suspicious look.

Xu Lang was also stunned when he heard the conversation between the two people, and he also felt puzzled, but he still said: "What I saw was indeed a woman of about twenty-five or sixteen, and we also spoke, whether it was her dress or her voice, there was no doubt that she was a woman, and I was not the only one who saw it, Lu Xing who was with me, and Xiao Yueyue saw it." ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Ding Yan's brows furrowed, and he still looked at Xu Lang with suspicion.

Xu Lang knew that his words would definitely not dispel the other party's suspicions, so he thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, during our time on the train, she used to buy things from the waitress who sold snacks and meals on the train, you can go and ask the waiter on the train." ”

Ding Yan glanced at Xu Lang deeply, didn't speak, just nodded, then turned his head, approached Deng Zijun's ear, and muttered a few words to him softly, and then, he got up and left the No. 1 interrogation room, leaving only Deng Zijun and Xu Lang, looking at each other, staring at each other.

Ding Yan went out for about ten minutes, he walked back with a blushing face, this time, he didn't come in alone, he came in with him, and Ning Yanran who was holding Xiao Yueyue, obviously, Ding Yan had already determined Ning Yanran's identity, otherwise, Ning Yanran would not have been able to come in.

"You can go." Ding Yan glanced at Xu Lang with complicated eyes and said.

"Clear?" Xu Lang stood up and did not immediately walk out of the interrogation room, but looked at Ding Yan and asked.

Ding Yan turned his head, glanced at Xiao Yueyue, who was led by Ning Yanran, and Lu Xing at the door of the No. 1 interrogation room, nodded, and said, "Although I don't know if what you said is true for the time being, we will continue to investigate." ”

Xu Lang nodded, stood up, walked to Ning Yanran's side, took Xiao Yueyue's hand and walked towards the door.

Just as Xu Lang was about to walk out of the interrogation room, Ding Yan's voice came from behind.

"Are you criminal investigation consultant Xu Lang?"

Xu Lang stopped, turned his head, looked at Ding Yan with a strange expression, nodded, and said, "That's right." ”

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?" After Ding Yan heard Xu Lang admit his identity, he hurriedly walked up to Xu Lang and said apologetically.

"You didn't ask."

"Huh?! Hehe......"

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he laughed dryly twice, and then he changed the topic and said: "Since Director Ning and Consultant Xu are here, then, it is better for the two of you to ...... this case."

It's just that before Ding Yan's words were finished, she was interrupted by Ning Yanran, she looked at Ding Yan and said: "The case happened in your jurisdiction, so naturally you will solve it, and it is unreasonable for us to intervene directly." ”

"Ning Ju is right, Ning Ju is right."

Ding Yan rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Xu Lang ignored Ding Yan's embarrassment, as well as the stunned Deng Zijun, he thought for a while and said, "Let me describe to you what that woman looks like." ”

Ding Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to trouble Advisor Xu." ”

Xu Lang shook his head, noncommittal, and said slowly: "The other party is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, about one meter sixty-three in height, with long black shawl hair, a good face, double eyelids, thin lips, and straight teeth, she should not have had plastic surgery, she is wearing a white down jacket on her upper body, a pair of black pants on her lower body, and a pair of black high heels of about five centimeters on her feet, her fingers are dyed with red nails, by the way, she is a smoker." ”

When Xu Lang described the woman's appearance, Ding Yan hurriedly motioned to Deng Zijun to take a pen and record it, but Deng Zijun didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now, and didn't see Ding Yan's eyes. ”

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "No." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, can you go back now? Do you have a car? If not, I'll drive you back? Ding Yan said.

Xu Lang and Ning Yanran shook their heads at the same time, they didn't look at Ding Yan again, but turned around and walked towards the door of the interrogation room, Xu Lang suddenly stopped when he walked to the door, turned his head, looked at Ding Yan and asked, "Can we go to the morgue to see these two corpses?" ”

"Yes, yes, of course." Ding Yan hurriedly said.

Xu Lang turned his head, glanced at Ning Yanran again, and said, "Together? ”

Ning Yanran didn't hesitate at all, and walked directly outside, obviously, she was going to see the bodies of the two deceased, Xu Lang looked at Ning Yanran's distant back, subconsciously touched his nose, and shook his head helplessly, he found that Ning Yanran has not changed in the past few years, and her personality is still the same as before, which makes people a little unaccustomed to it.
