As soon as Luo Tong left the county public security bureau, Xia Shi's call hit Qiao Sheng's mobile phone.

"Team Qiao, I have already checked with Xiao Jing of Puren Clinic to verify Luo Tong's alibi. On the night of the crime, she was indeed at Luo Tong's house, and the two of them watched a movie for one night, but Luo Tong never left halfway. ”

Is her word credible? Could Luo Tong have colluded with her in advance? Qiao Sheng asked uneasily.

"Judging by my intuition, Xiao Jing shouldn't have lied. I asked other people to find out from the side, Xiaojing is a simple-minded, simple-minded girl, she blushes when she lies, but she behaves very naturally in front of me, and she can't see any acting ingredients. In addition, she and Luo Tong are indeed in love, which her friends can confirm. ”

"Haven't they been in a public relationship yet?"

"It's not public, but it's clear to the bystanders."

"Well, that's what the clinic is investigating first. Now you go to the community where Luo Tong's house is located, check the surveillance video of the night of the crime, and see if there is anything abnormal. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Sheng frowned depressedly and said to Gu Song: "Luo Tong's alibi has been verified, and eighty percent of the case on the night of the 7th was not done by him." ”

"He's not the only suspect, how can he hit the right one at once." Gu Song shrugged his shoulders, and his face was completely open. However, he always felt that there was something strange about Luo Tong, although there were no flaws in the whole questioning process, but would Dr. Luo's performance be too calm? It's like coming prepared.

Gu Song hoped that he was just thinking too much, otherwise this opponent would not be simple. He shook his head slightly, trying to get these subjective thoughts out of his mind, so as not to affect the rest of the investigation. "Team Joe, who's going to be next? We'll meet the other suspects. ”

It was almost noon, and Luo Tong returned to the clinic.

There were no patients in the clinic, only Xiao Jing sat alone at his desk, looking at the crowd coming and going outside the door, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

Seeing Luo Tong walking in safe and sound, Xiao Jing exhaled a long breath of relief, "Brother Luo, you're finally back, I'm worried about death." ”

"Silly girl, I just went to the Public Security Bureau to assist the police in the investigation, what are you worried about?" Luo Tong said with a faint smile. He sat down next to Xiao Jing, unscrewed his special water cup and drank a few sips of water, then handed the cup to Xiao Jing and said, "Help me pour out the tea leaves inside and replace it with a cup of pure water." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing looked down at the tea leaves in the cup, and asked curiously, "I just made this tea for you, is there any problem?" ”

"Oh, the tea is fine. It's just that I'm a little hot these days, and I can't drink this thing. ”

"Is it too hot? I'll make you some mung bean soup when I get home in the evening. Xiao Jing said and walked to the pool, poured out the tea leaves, and took a glass of water from the water dispenser. That's right, Brother Ro. She handed the cup to Luo Tong and sat back in her chair, "Two policemen came just now. ”

Luo Tong was not surprised, he knew that the police would definitely come to the clinic to find Xiaojing before him, so as not to collude between them. "They're here to verify my alibi, right?"

"yes, they asked me if I was with you on the night of July 7th."

"And how did you answer?"

"Tell me the truth, of course." Xiao Jing raised his face and showed a smug look, "You were with me that night." Unless you have a doppelganger, how can you go out and do bad things while watching a movie with me? ”

"yes, I didn't have a doppelganger, and I didn't go out and do bad things, so it was all a misunderstanding."

Hearing Luo Tong say this, the stone in Xiao Jing's heart finally fell to the ground. She never believed that the man she admired and liked could have anything to do with the murder. Thinking of the murder case, Xiao Jing suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Luo, what is going on with the case that people have been talking about recently?" ”

"You'd better not ask, you'll have nightmares at night."

"Cut." Xiao Jing pursed his lips boringly, and said with disgust, "You look down on me too much, I graduated from the Wei Academy anyway, and I'm not afraid of those bloody things." ”

"That's not a bloody question, it's a ......" Luo Tong paused, seeing Xiao Jing blinking a pair of curious eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. The murderer was very perverted and pulled the victim's intestines out of his stomach. ”

"Isn't it like Jack the Ripper?"

"No, it's scarier than that."

"What?" Xiao Jing covered her mouth in surprise, unable to imagine what kind of scene it was. "Jack the Ripper is already cruel, okay, is the murderer even more than him?"

"yes, so this murderer is very perverted, you'd better not ask about the details of the case." Although he knew that Xiao Jing was a curious girl, Luo Tong didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. He raised his hand and looked at the time, "Alright, it's almost lunch, and we won't talk about these unappetizing things." You go to Boss Li's shop opposite and help me pack a pork ribs and rice noodles back. ”

"Okay then." Xiao Jing was a little disappointed, but she didn't want to upset Luo Tong. She got up from her chair, picked up her phone and wallet, and muttered to herself as she walked outside the clinic, "What should I eat at noon......?"

As soon as Xiao Jing left, Luo Tong's face instantly became gloomy. In order to confirm the uneasy speculation in his heart, he quietly dialed the number of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Hospital in City D......

After several days of busy work day and night, the people in the task force were a little overwhelmed. Director Xie is afraid that they will have physical problems if they continue to rotate like this, especially in the past few days, the southern region has continued to have high temperatures, and those criminal policemen who are running around under the sun are indeed very hard.

On the evening of July 12, Director Xie paid out of his own pocket to invite Qiao Sheng and his entourage to a high-end restaurant in Jinshui County, as well as some members of the task force, to have dinner, firstly, to let them relax physically and mentally, and secondly, to boost everyone's morale.

Although Qiao Sheng is in charge of this case, after all, the case happened in Jinshui County, and the pressure on Director Xie is naturally not small.

During the dinner, Director Xie said more than once: "Tonight, everyone should relax and we will not talk about the case during the meal." But everyone's mind is on the case, and there is nothing else to ask for but to solve the case as soon as possible, so I can't help but return to the current investigation work without a few words. Because the private room was full of people from the task force, it became a unique case analysis meeting in the middle of dinner.

Qiao Sheng and they have been in contact with more than a dozen criminal suspects in the past few days, and they have not yet locked on a specific target. Qiao Sheng gave a brief explanation of the progress of the work to Director Xie, who understood that the investigation would take time and patience, and did not rush them except to say some words of encouragement.

Of course, Gu Song didn't tell his opinion of Luo Tong in front of everyone, although Qiao Sheng also thought that the calm doctor was a little suspicious, but they had a relatively sufficient alibi, and they could basically put aside the relationship with the murder.

Qi Ruonan followed his colleagues in the video team to watch surveillance footage in the office all day, trying to find the suspect Huzi saw near the scene of the crime.

Jinshui County is a small county town with a less developed economy, especially the old city where the crime occurred, and it cannot be compared with big cities in terms of surveillance coverage and video quality. After careful and careful viewing, they finally found two scenes of the suspect, but after looking at them frame by frame, none of them had a clear image that could show the facial features of the other party.

Through the analysis of that person's gait characteristics, Qi Ruonan always felt that the other party's walking posture was a bit like a woman. That person's appearance was completely a man's dress (there was no obvious protrusion on his chest), wearing a mask and a hat, which was very confusing, making Qi Ruonan not sure of his judgment.

If the other party is a woman, then she is likely to have nothing to do with this case, because through a comprehensive analysis of the two cases, the suspect they are looking for should be a man; If the other party is a man who is a bit of a mother, then he may be a suspect in this case, but it is not easy to confirm his identity.

Because Gu Song's eyes were very sharp, Qi Ruonan asked him to go to the office to help watch the surveillance video. Gu Song promised her to go early tomorrow morning, and then they began to discuss whether the murderer lived in Jinshui County.

After being full of wine and food, he returned to the room in the guest house, and Gu Song lay on the bed and immediately felt sleepiness. From the day of the crime to the present, he only sleeps an average of three hours a day, and the quality of sleep is very poor, coupled with the continuous high temperature in the past few days, the scorching sun can almost roast people, he feels that his headache is about to explode every day.

In a daze, someone gently shook his arm, and he opened his eyes tiredly, and saw Xia Shi sitting next to him with a serious face, as if he was hiding something.

"Hey, why did you fall asleep as soon as you lay down."

"Is there something wrong with you?" Gu Song yawned and asked very unhappily.

"Can you ...... tomorrow" Xia Shi wanted to say but stopped, as if it was difficult to say what he was going to say next. Gu Song rarely saw Xia Shi's tangled appearance, and suddenly felt fresh, and even the sleepiness subsided by more than half.

He sat up straight, looked at Xia Shi with interest, and asked teasingly, "You shouldn't have something to ask me, right?" ”

Xia Shi's expression was a little embarrassed, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "I want to go to the psychiatric rehabilitation center in City D tomorrow to see Xinlei's situation, can you accompany me?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Song opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect that what Xia Shi was going to tell him turned out to be about this. "Why do you want me to go with you? It's not like you can't find the way, you just have to drive there yourself. ”

"Wouldn't it be better for me to go by myself?" Xia Shi said with a sad face, "After all, only you know about her, and I'm not sure if she remembers my ......."

Gu Song thought about it seriously for a while, and felt that Xia Shi's worries were not unreasonable. In fact, after so many years, he also wants to see Xinlei and say "I'm sorry" to that girl in person, although he has said it countless times, he always feels that he owes Xinlei a debt that he will not pay off for the rest of his life.

Maybe all he can do is do his duty to catch that perverted murderer. After being silent for a moment, Gu Song said with determination: "Okay, I'll ask for leave from Team Qiao now." We'll leave early tomorrow and get back to work by noon. ”
