Chapter 108: Bright Flowers

"I went to Yu Xiucheng's studio a few days ago to talk to him. Do you want to know the reason behind this?" Fu Liangtao said, turning his face to look at Xu Jingjia who was sitting beside him.

I saw Xu Jingjia looking at him blankly, and only after a while did he ask, "Who is Yu Xiucheng?" The colorful light and shadow shone on Xu Jingjia's face, and the shadows were sufficient, but it did not hide her cluelessness.

Fu Liangtao couldn't help but say, "Yu Xiucheng is Owen's Chinese name." Because of Yu Xiucheng's matter, there were a lot of rumors about Xu Jingjia, but now, I didn't expect that Xu Jingjia didn't even know the other party's name for so many years.

The doubts in Xu Jingjia's eyes receded, and she let out an unfazed "oh", which was regarded as an answer.

Fu Liangtao's heart moved, and he looked at Xu Jingjia seriously and said, "My full name is Fu Liangtao. This one...... You know that, right?"

With inadvertent caution in his words, Fu Liangtao didn't understand why he wanted to be sure of this.

Xu Jingjia seems to be like Fu Liangtao, feeling unclear about his question.

"Fu Liangtao......" Xu Jingjia silently repeated Fu Liangtao's name in a clear voice.

Xu Jingjia's voice was light and light, like a breeze gently blowing through Fu Liangtao's heart.

"Fu sir...... I'll still call you Fu sir!" Xu Jingjia pondered for a moment, and then said in a businesslike tone, "I understand that it is understandable that you are focusing on investigating the source of the rumors. However, these rumors really shouldn't be the focus of your current investigation. Have you ever considered what role Zhou Muqing and Li Bingde played in this case, while they were the victims?"

As he spoke, Xu Jingjia turned his gaze back to the front and no longer looked at Fu Liangtao.

Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Jingjia's side face, and saw Xu Jingjia's hair tied up at the back of her head, and her head was slightly tilted because she was looking forward intently, lengthening her neck line, adding a bit of ordinary elegance and arrogance to her.

Fu Liangtao suddenly felt that his expectations were disappointed, and his emotions gradually became complicated. He thought of every audio he had heard during the investigation, and the content of each audio had closely matched Xu Jingjia's image with various rumors about her, but the results of the investigation were all specious, and she herself did not refute the rumors about herself.

However, apart from the case, there was nothing else to talk about between Fu Liangtao and Xu Jingjia, and he could only hope that Xu Jingjia could tell some clues that would be useful for the investigation.

Just like now......

Fu Liangtao then turned his gaze back, gathered his mind, and pondered Xu Jingjia's words carefully.

This is not the first time Xu Jingjia has reminded Fu Liangtao that the focus of his investigation should not be on rumors about her. Fu Liangtao never understood that since the rumors were spread by the prisoner, they must reflect the psychology of the prisoner, because at first he always thought that Xu Jingjia's reminder was because she did not know enough about the investigation work.

The origins of these events are very long, and some of the reasons for which it is difficult to find evidence of them. For this reason, it was ultimately due to the lack of mutual trust between the two sides, so that until now they have only been able to exchange messages in the form of dumb riddles.

As the contact with Xu Jingjia increased, and Fu Liangtao also obtained more information in the process of investigation, he became more and more sure that Xu Jingjia actually knew what was going on from beginning to end.

Therefore, Xu Jingjia's repeated reminders must not be casual talk.

In the office of the police headquarters, Fu Liangtao recalled Xu Jingjia's reminders several times while staring at Zita's smile in the character relationship table.

During an interview with Owen, he pointed out that it was because of Zita's reminder that Xu Jingjia thought he was playing tricks on him.

Because of this discovery, Fu Liangtao seems to feel that Xu Jingjia always said that "the rumors have little to do with the case he is investigating", but he is not very clear. Fu Liangtao always felt that Zita's answer came too easily and did not match the perpetrator's consistent criminal methods.

Judging from Xu Jingjia's reminder, the investigation rumors do not point to the answer in her heart. Therefore, in Xu Jingjia's eyes, the investigation of rumors can be regarded as one of the transitional tasks that can be omitted at best.

The more Fu Liangtao thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Jingjia's statement was incomprehensible, just like you have to climb mountains and wade through rivers to reach your destination, but the person who pointed you didn't have to work in vain.

Slow down...... Don't waste your time?

Fu Liangtao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the fog in front of him had disappeared and he suddenly became brighter. He stood up with a "huh" and walked to the office door, slamming it open. was caught off guard and almost bumped into Xu Haopeng, who was standing outside the door and was about to knock on the door.

"So happy, is there any new progress in the investigation?" Xu Haopeng asked.

Fu Liangtao smiled and replied, "That's right." Knowing that Xu Haopeng had something to talk to him about, he walked inward again, and the excitement of discovering new clues gradually calmed down.

Xu Haopeng thought that Fu Liangtao must have been deliberating about the case just now, so he naturally looked at Fu Liangtao's desk.

Fu Liangtao was also very vigilant, and without a trace, he took a stack of folders to cover the character relationship chart on the table, and said, "These are the cases I have recently closed, since you are here, I don't have to go to your side."

At the same time that Xu Haopeng took over the folder, Fu Liangtao took the opportunity to take the character relationship table below to the table.

Xu Haopeng flipped through these folders casually, but it was Brother Cong and Ah Yu who had asked him for his opinion a few days ago. Xu Haopeng's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I came here this time to tell you that I have reviewed the work performance of Brother Cong and Ah Yu in the past two weeks. I don't think there's a big problem, so I think they'll continue to report to you in the future!"

Fu Liangtao smiled casually: "I thought that Sir Xu was transferred away because of my improper work attitude."

Xu Haopeng took a deep breath, his face sank a little more, and said, "No, your work attitude has always been very good." The cold and hard tone made people feel that what Xu Haopeng said was not really speaking. I only heard Xu Haopeng continue: "Because the work efficiency of your team has been unsatisfactory, I doubt that you are a subordinate who is not handy."

Looking at Xu Haopeng's face, Fu Liangtao couldn't show his pleasure too obviously, so he said, "So...... Do you agree with our team's performance?"

Hui Haopeng replied, "You should also know that Ah Yao has taken a half-year leave to study abroad, and I want you to take over as the commander of Operation 1C.

Brother Cong and Ah Yu will assist you in completing this investigation, and then you will officially start the handover with Ah Yao."
