"She hadn't told anyone, but if there were some careful people who guessed through all kinds of clues, I don't know for sure." Brother Song said.

Su Ping thought for a while, and then asked, "Then has she ever lent money to others?" ”

"Yes," Brother Song nodded: "Mainly colleagues and friends, the amount is generally not large, hundreds or thousands, and the highest sum is 5,000 yuan." ”

"Do you borrow money from her frequently?"

"Not a few." Brother Song said: "People, once there is a repetition, after easily borrowing money from a friend, the first thing that comes to mind next time there is a difficulty, is her, and over time, she may even subconsciously use her as an emergency ATM." ”

"Do you have a record of borrowing money and not paying it back?"

"Not yet, she will ask if she doesn't return the appointed time. Although she had money, she told her in her heart that the money was not her own, and no matter how small the amount was, she would be more interested. ”

"Is there a blacklist?"

"Huh?"

"That is, is there anyone who borrows money frequently and always asks her to pay it back, so she directly blacks out people and doesn't borrow him?" Su Ping asked again.

Brother Song thought about it, shook his head, and saw that Su Ping opened his mouth to ask again, so he hurriedly grabbed the white: "Team Su, I understand what you mean, the house she lives in, I asked very specifically, looking horizontally and vertically, there is no family or person in this inquiry, it is doubtful, there is a motive for the crime." ”

Su Ping was silent again.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but glance at him secretly, a little strange.

If he is in charge of inquiry, then he asks so frequently, and the questions are very common, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the answer is 'yes', then the target has a certain amount of suspicious questions, which is understandable and even normal.

But it would be a little unreasonable to ask an experienced old criminal policeman like Brother Song, and he would not usually throw these questions on criminal policemen other than interns like him.

After being silent for a while, Su Ping suddenly sighed lightly, raised his hand and patted Brother Song's shoulder, glanced at Xiao Qi again, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

After a few seconds, the corners of his mouth lifted and he shook his head: "You guys go on, I'll go somewhere else and see if there is anyone who needs help." ”

"Team Su, I'm ......" Qi Yuan immediately followed, but was stopped by Brother Song.

Su Ping didn't reply, waved his hand, and went down the stairs.

"Team Su......" Qi Yuan opened his mouth, he found that Su Ping's state was not very good, and he was a little weird.

"Let him be alone." Brother Song grabbed him by the shoulder, then let go and patted him hard: "Don't take care of him anymore, don't." ”

Qi Yuan didn't seem to understand, and only nodded slightly.

Brother Song opened his mouth again, as if to explain to Qi Yuan, and as if to say to himself: "We have taken too much care of him these days, we don't let him do heavy work, and he can take over all the trivial work, which irritates him a little."

He is a strong man, and he is also used to taking care of others, not being taken care of by others. Once the situation is reversed, he is very uncomfortable and may feel redundant or even burdensome.

This is cruel to him. There are other people who are already very old, and if they want to apply for early retirement, they can do so at any time, and the feeling of powerlessness that sometimes arises will make him confused and struggling. This is also a kind of midlife crisis.

Especially when he is idle and has nothing to do, he is more likely to be cranky.

This point, we, including the Xun team, did not expect that this was not a care for him, but a ...... We should have realized this sooner, but today is not too late. ”

Qi Yuan clenched his fists, thinking of the words he said at noon, maybe it was also a stimulus to Su Ping.

He suddenly felt a little guilty and a little sad.

After a while, he let go of his hand and said, "Then we will help him, help him realize that the detachment cannot do without him, and help him find ...... again"

"There are no people in the detachment who cannot be missing, and the huge unit will operate without anyone." Brother Song interrupted Qi Yuan, stared at his eyes, and said meaningfully.

"But ......" Qi Yuan wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

"But we can't." Brother Song smiled and helped him make up for it: "Anyone who is missing in the detachment can do it, including the Su team." But we are different, he and the Xun team are our backbone. ”

Qi Yuan nodded lightly.

……

Downstairs, Su Ping held on to the handrail and took two breaths.

It's not that his physical fitness has declined, but that one leg is lame, and it is awkward to walk, which requires much more physical strength than usual, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Walking out of the inpatient department, he folded his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

It's only five o'clock, and the sun is still dazzling, but it won't be long before it sets.

His shoulders fell slightly, an old criminal policeman in his forties, even if his body was still strong, no matter how burly and upright he was in front of outsiders, when he was relaxed, he was always a little rickety.

After all, the burden on my shoulders over the years is too heavy.

A white cloud drifted by, obscuring the sun, and the light suddenly dimmed a little.

Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could finally barely look directly at the sky where the sun was.

A few columnar rays of light pierced the thick clouds, still shining tenaciously downward. It was a little dark, but the clouds couldn't completely block out the sun.

He raised his eyebrows, slowly lowered his head, took another step, and walked towards the main gate with his hands behind his back, slightly limping, but still steady.

As he walked, his shoulders slowly straightened up, and his hands slowly loosened.

Finally, he strode forward, came to the door, and stopped the car: "Master, go to the criminal investigation detachment." ”

After speaking, he got in the car, fastened his seat belt, took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Xiaochai, well, I'll go back now, you come to my office, bring the trace inspection report, and ask a few questions." Well, that's it, I'll talk about it when I go back to the unit, hang up, bye-bye. ”

……

The general ward of the inpatient department, the smoking area in the stairwell.

Brother Song propped his hands on the windowsill, held the cigarette between his two fingers, and raised his chin: "Oh, look." ”

Qi Yuan glanced at it and was silent.

"He, he joined the army at the age of sixteen, served as a soldier for six years, became a policeman after demobilization, and worked for more than 20 years. Mid-life crisis? He'll be able to solve it. ”

"Hmm." Qi Yuan responded, and the criminal police in the detachment had a sense of confidence in Su Ping.

Even Xun Mu had times when he was helpless, but he didn't, and everyone firmly believed in this.

But Qi Yuan followed up and said: "But everything is omnipotent, and it is also a great pressure, so it is unfair to him to let him carry it alone." The burden was too heavy to crush him. ”

"Yes, we have to help him share the burden, but we can't rush it, everything has to be done gradually." Brother Song patted him on the shoulder, and then grabbed the back of his neck hard: "Hurry up and grow up, take charge of yourself as soon as possible, work hard, don't disappoint him." ”

"Good!"
