Chapter 47: Mole?
Concubine Ye's age is too young, her memory and expression skills are limited, and she can't explain the ins and outs of the whole thing like an adult. Huo Yan is not interested in knowing Li Baofang's crime now, she is more concerned about the clownfish killer who took Li Baofang and Concubine Ye to the unfinished building.
After Concubine Ye's mood stabilized, Huo Yan asked her, "Concubine Fei, in addition to that sanitation worker uncle, did you see another uncle yesterday?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Concubine Ye remembered this incident very clearly, and nodded again and again, "A policeman uncle knocked on the door and scared the sanitation worker uncle away, but the sanitation worker uncle was still caught by him." That uncle is so powerful, he looks very majestic, and he beat the sanitation worker uncle and yells 'spare his life', and he is still rolling around on the ground. ”
"How do you know he's a police officer? Is he wearing a police uniform? ”
"No, but he said he was a police officer and said he was going to take me home." Concubine Ye tilted her little head and looked at her father, who was standing with Gu Song and Xia Shi at the door of the ward and whispering, and said with some pride, "Some plainclothes policemen don't wear police uniforms, like my father, but they are very good at catching bad guys." After speaking, she blinked her round and big eyes and asked Huo Yan curiously, "Auntie, are you also a plainclothes policeman?" ”
Huo Yan replied with a smile: "Auntie is a teacher who specializes in teaching students how to catch bad guys." However, Auntie's father is a police officer and has arrested many, many bad guys. He's also a teacher, and you see, the two handsome uncles at the door are all students he taught. ”
"Really?" Concubine Ye's eyes widened, and there was a hint of beautiful longing in her eyes. "When I grew up, I wanted to be a police officer to catch the bad guys, but my mother wouldn't let me. She said that the little girl could not be a police officer, it was too dangerous. Is she telling the truth? ”
"Of course you have to listen to what Mom says!" Although Huo Yan disagrees with the view that girls can't be police officers, from a mother's point of view, there is nothing wrong with wanting her daughter to stay away from dangerous careers. If it weren't for her mother's resolute opposition to her applying for the police academy, she might have been colleagues with Gu Song and Xia Shi a long time ago.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Huo Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Concubine Ye's mother with a sad face.
"Concubine, do you remember what that policeman uncle looked like?" Huo Yan asked seriously.
Concubine Ye thought about it seriously and didn't seem to know how to describe it. In order to find a reference, she looked at the three men standing at the door of the ward, looked at it for a moment, pointed to Xia Shi and said, "It looks similar to that uncle." ”
Hearing this, several people were stunned, and Xia Shi was even more surprised.
A few seconds later, Concubine Ye added, "I didn't see that uncle's face, it was blocked by the hat." He grabbed the sanitation uncle, took me into a car, said he was going to take me home, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw my mom and dad. ”
"What kind of car that uncle drives, do you remember?" Huo Yan asked.
Concubine Ye shook her head and said, "I don't remember." ”
"What about the color of the car?"
Concubine Ye shook her head again, "It's dark, I didn't see clearly." ”
Huo Yan was a little helpless, but she understood that it was indeed too difficult for a six-year-old girl to recall these details. Not to mention a six-year-old child, even an adult who has experienced the same thing, the brain's self-protection mechanisms will also force them to forget about some scary, unpleasant experiences.
Collecting clues is important, but it can't be premised on harming Concubine Ye. After Huo Yan continued to ask a few questions related to the murderer, she decided not to talk about Li Baofang's case with Concubine Ye anymore.
In the corridor outside the ward, Gu Song pulled Xia Shi alone to a place where no one was and asked him what he thought of the clownfish killer.
Xia Shi didn't know where to start, and asked instead, "What are you referring to?" ”
Gu Song prompted: "Do you think the murderer will really be a policeman?" ”
"Even if it is, it won't be Zhao Hongshan's person." Xia Shi said with great certainty, "They don't know about Ma Zhichen's case at all. ”
"What about our people?" Gu Song asked again, his eyes staring at Xia Shi tightly, as if he wanted to get some answer from it.
"It can't be. Li Baofang's case is only known to you and Teacher Huo, and neither of you is obviously the murderer, so ......"
"What about you?" Before Xia Shi finished speaking, Gu Song asked him a rather sharp question.
Xia Shi was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"What are you doing in Jinshui County all of a sudden? And just in time for this case. It gives me the feeling that you knew something was going to happen here. ”
"No, you doubt me?" Xia Shigan laughed twice, and suddenly felt that Gu Song's idea was ridiculous. "Just because a six-year-old kid said that the murderer's body shape was similar to mine, you suspect that I killed Li Baofang, and your brain is in water, right?"
Gu Song looked at him quietly and didn't speak, obviously not because of Concubine Ye's words that he doubted him.
Xia Shi smiled bitterly, but he wasn't very angry in his heart, because he might have to think about it carefully. "Remember when I called you around 1 a.m.? The call came from my apartment, and you can ask the technical team to check the location. Li Baofang was killed between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and it took an hour and a half to drive back and forth from R City to Jinshui County at the earliest, so I didn't have time to commit the crime! ”
"It doesn't seem like that." Gu Song was not fooled by Xia Shi's words, and said, "It was 1:58 in the morning when you called me, if you killed Li Baofang before 1:15, you would have time to go home and call me." ”
"You ......" Xia Shi choked on this sentence, thought for a while and said, "Then you go check the road surveillance to see if my car has been out for a walk at 1 o'clock in the morning." ”
"You don't necessarily drive your own car. You are a dignified criminal police detachment leader, and there must be many ways to kill people. ”
"Gu Song, don't deceive people too much!" Xia Shi was really angry at this time, and he didn't care that he was in the hospital, so he said in a loud voice, "I asked you to come back as a consultant because I can afford you." Of course I'm grateful for your help, but if you can't solve the case, don't put a basin on my head. Let me tell you clearly, I didn't come to Jinshui County for any shady purpose, I was purely worried about you and Teacher Huo, and I just wanted to come over to see the situation.
"Also, before I called you, I had a very weird dream that a clownfish had turned into a man-eating monster. I faced them alone, feeling extremely depressed and hopeless. I think the moral of this dream is very bad, I didn't expect another case to happen so soon. ”
