When Hong Qifeng walked back to Cao Ying's house with some frustration, Cao Ying was waiting at the door.

"Didn't catch it?" Cao Ying asked.

Hong Qifeng shook his head, he suddenly found that Cao Ying was not nervous or anxious.

Generally speaking, it is normal for someone to be a little nervous when someone peeks out of the window of their home, no matter what the purpose, even if they have been doing criminal investigation work for many years, they will not have any scruples at all.

What's more, Cao Ying has an only daughter.

Hong Qifeng's heart had some more doubts.

He followed Cao Ying into the door, rechecked the windows to make sure there were no other snoopers, and then returned to the place where he had just spoken to Cao Ying.

"Lao Cao, let me ask you something." Hong Qifeng decided not to go around in circles with Cao Ying anymore.

"Say it."

"Why didn't you tell the truth in the first place?" Hong Qifeng looked directly into Cao Ying's eyes.

Cao Ying didn't dodge this time, he also looked at Hong Qifeng and asked, "At this time, I have nothing to hide, I said that I will also accompany you in the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

After he finished speaking, he motioned for Hong Qifeng to sit down, and then asked, "Think about it first, why did someone follow here?" ”

Hong Qifeng didn't answer immediately, thought about it and said, "There are two possibilities, the first is to follow me, and the second is to come to you." ”

"I've been living here incognito for fifteen years, except for Tongyue, that is, you and that forensic doctor He came to me yesterday, and I really haven't seen anyone else."

Hong Qifeng's face darkened, he knew what Cao Ying's words meant, he said firmly: "I completely believe in any ink, I understand her!" ”

"What about you?" Cao Ying seemed to ask casually.

Hong Qifeng was stunned and said, "Me? ”

Cao Ying waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying that you have a problem, I'm just saying, could that person just now come with you?" ”

"You mean ······" Hong Qifeng was a little moved: "I was followed? ”

"What's wrong? The captain of the criminal investigation team has not been followed? Cao Ying smiled lightly and said, "Are you only allowed to follow the suspect?" ”

Hong Qifeng shook his head slightly, this inference is a bit far-fetched, but it is not completely unreasonable.

Cao Ying saw that he couldn't believe it, and said again: "Now you know why I didn't tell you the truth in the first place, right?" ”

Hong Qifeng looked at Cao Ying's eyes and asked word by word: "You mean, there are, inside, ghosts?" ”

When Ren Xiaolin returned home, her daughter was quietly doing her homework.

And her husband Han Sui is nowhere to be seen.

Ren Xiaolin wanted to tell Han Sui about today's experience, but she couldn't find anyone left and right, and her phone was turned off.

She was a little flustered and didn't know who to talk to.

Buzz ······.

The phone rang, she picked it up, and it turned out to be Secretary Tong of the head office.

"Xiaolin." Secretary Tong's voice is still so soft and sticky, every time it seems to be calling his relatives.

"Sister Tong, what's the matter?" Ren Xiaolin pretended to have things in her heart, and she was a little out of state.

"The chairman just instructed you to come to the head office."

"Okay, I'll be over early tomorrow morning."

"What tomorrow, come now." Secretary Tong lowered his voice and said, "The chairman is waiting for you." ”

"Now?" Ren Xiaolin was surprised and said, "But ······"

"Don't be, the chairman's face is not very good, you hurry up!" Secretary Tong even had this sticky tone when he ordered others.

"Oh, okay, I'll be right over."

————

Cao Ying sighed and nodded.

Hong Qifeng said incredulously: "No, this is just your groundless speculation, you have no evidence." ”

Cao Ying sighed and said, "I really don't have evidence, but it's not reasonable for everything not to be explained like this. ”

"How?"

"You listen to my guesses and analysis first?" Cao Ying asked Hong Qifeng.

Of course, Hong Qifeng wants to listen.

"First of all, the death of Qiu Feng that I have been tracking down over the years, and the clues will be broken every time it comes to a critical moment." Cao Ying said: "When I learned about Qiu Feng, she has been placed in the funeral home, and I can only get the news from the photos. ”

"You're late, so you don't have to wait for you to come back to deal with the scene." Hong Qifeng said: "Besides, you, as a family member, should avoid suspicion. ”

"Okay, even if what I said is far-fetched, then what is the matter with Ji Xiaofei that I tracked down later?" Cao Ying asked.

According to Cao Ying's previous account, he went to arrest Ji Xiaofei the day after he got the news, and by the time he arrived, Ji Xiaofei had already been killed, and he was slowly tortured to death in an orderly manner.

Hong Qifeng had thought about this before, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply.

"In addition, Tongyue left the Bay Home back then, in fact, it was not only because of Han Sui." Cao Ying talked about it again.

Hong Qifeng suddenly remembered, he always felt that there was a loophole in Cao Ying's words last time, but he always couldn't remember where the loophole was, and as soon as Cao Ying said it today, he remembered it.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "I was thinking last time, no matter how angry a mother is with her son, she will not suddenly leave him alone and leave the widowhood alone." Moreover, this is the child she raised alone. ”

Cao Ying listened to him and nodded: "Actually, there were many reasons why Tongyue had to leave at that time, and Han Sui was just one of them. ”

"Oh? What else is the reason? Hong Qifeng is becoming more and more curious about Han Tongyue's affairs, he may have been a lonely old man who committed suicide or was murdered, but as the case has progressed so far, more and more mysteries have surrounded Han Tongyue, which is unpredictable.

Cao Ying said: "Another important reason is that we were all threatened with death at that time. ”

"Huh? Who threatened you? Hong Qifeng feels that the key is here.

But Cao Ying shook his head and said, "I still don't know completely, but the threat is real. ”

He glanced at his daughter Cao Xinxin's room and said, "Originally, I didn't have anything to scruple about, but after all, Xinxin was still young at that time. ”

Hong Qifeng didn't interrupt him, waiting for him to continue.

"Last time, Director He asked why Xinxin suddenly became ill after an interval of more than ten years, and I can tell you the reason;"

"In 2007, that is, after I found Ji Xiaofei, one day, I suddenly received a call from Tongyue, and she told me that something had happened at home."

"I hurried home to find Tongyue's hair messy and blood stains on her face, while Xinxin sat down on the bed and curled up in a ball, saying 'I don't have a mother' in her mouth, and she was not very conscious. And the house is very messy, as if someone has smashed it. ”

"I found that Tongyue's clothes were a little messy, and hurriedly asked Tongyue what happened?"

Tongyue said that she had just come back from work and saw an unusual noise in my house, and when she walked over to see that there were several strangers in my house, they grabbed Xinxin and took her ······ Strip her clothes down to her underwear······"

"Huh?" Hong Qifeng was nervous when he heard this.

"It was time for Tongyue to come back, and she shouted loudly to stop those people."

"As soon as those people saw Tongyue making such a fuss, they immediately came out, slapped Tongyue, kicked her a few times, and scolded her, 'What the ghost is called!' Then he dragged her by the hair and dragged her to the house. ”

"This ······ With such a big movement, is there no other neighbor to care? Hong Qifeng asked nervously when he heard this.

Although he has experienced a hundred battles and encountered not a thousand but eight hundred criminal cases, he has a feeling every time he solves a case, if he can stop the crime when it happens, how many innocent people can be saved?

Therefore, when Cao Ying recounted this incident, Hong Qifeng wished that he could be on the scene at that time to prevent what would happen later.

Cao Ying listened to his question, shook his head and said, "In those years, the security in the place where we lived was not particularly good, and the people were also indifferent. Not to mention the violent incidents of so many people, even if they usually see a thief, they will not ask because it is not their business, they don't want to cause more trouble, for fear of retaliation. ”

"So, what about later?"

After those people dragged Tongyue into the room, Tongyue didn't have time to care about her injuries, so she quickly crawled to Xinxin's side, hugged her, and blocked Xinxin with her body. While saying loudly, don't mess around, her father is a criminal investigation team! ”

Hong Qifeng shook his head, thinking that since these people dared to come, they must have investigated Cao Ying's details.

Sure enough, Cao Ying said: "Who knows that those people are not afraid at all, saying, 'It's not the criminal investigation team, we won't come to patronize it', and then started to pull Tongyue's clothes again, and ripped off her coat in three or two clicks!" ”
