After the meeting, the members of the task force left one after another, but Xia Shi sat in his seat and did not get up for a long time. Seeing his depressed appearance, Huo Yan's heart was a little unhappy. Although she knew that Xia Shi was not the kind of man who was cautious and would not bother with her because of what had just happened, she still explained apologetically: "Team Xia, I didn't mean to target you during the meeting, and I didn't disbelieve you, so don't be angry with me." ”

"What am I angry about?" Xia Shi looked up at Huo Yan, smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "My dismissal has nothing to do with you, even if you don't say anything, they will still replace me." In extraordinary times, they were right to do so. ”

"But ......"

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Xia Shi waved his hand and asked Huo Yan not to care about it. "What we have to think about now is what to do next. The director said that the new person in charge was about to arrive, and I had to meet with him and hand over the work at hand. ”

"I don't have an opinion on the change of team leader, but I don't know if the new person in charge is reliable." Gu Song lowered his head and fiddled with his phone as he spoke. At this point, there were only three of them left in the conference room.

"The above attaches great importance to this case, so I should send someone who has the ability." Xia Shi thought about it and said.

"I hope it's not the kind of guy who can only talk on paper and doesn't understand the front-line case-solving work."

"What do you think of me? Do you have the eye of a detective like you? As soon as Gu Song's words were finished, a man in his thirties, with a tall and majestic posture, opened the door and walked into the conference room.

Gu Song was taken aback by this long-lost but familiar voice, and when he looked back, he found that the person who came was transferred to work in the provincial department during his departure, the former captain of the criminal police detachment of R City, Qiao Sheng.

"What, why are you?" Gu Song stood up and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you are the person sent by the provincial department to take over the case?" ”

"That's right, it's me." Qiao Sheng smiled at Gu Song and said, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

"Of course, I wish you were here all the time. Uh, no......" Gu Song realized that his words were not appropriate, giving people the feeling that he didn't want the case to be solved as soon as possible, so he hurriedly changed his words, "I mean, you have been away from the criminal police team for a while, and my brothers miss you a lot, and I am reluctant to let you go." Right? Gu Song looked at Xia Shi and said.

Xia Shi didn't answer his words, but got up and walked in front of Qiao Sheng, solemnly shook hands with the new person in charge and said, "Team Qiao, welcome you back to guide the work." ”

Qiao Sheng patted Xia Shi's shoulder with his other hand, and said with deep sympathy: "I've worked hard for you recently, and you encountered this kind of troublesome case as soon as you took office, and the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, right?" ”

"No, it's that made me have stomach problems." Xia Shi said with a wry smile. Then, he introduced to Huo Yan: "Teacher Huo, this leader is our former captain, and he was transferred to the provincial department to work some time ago. From now on, he will take over my Clownfish case. ”

"Hello, my name is Huo Yan." Huo Yan stepped forward and politely stretched out a hand to Qiao Sheng.

"Hello, my name is Qiao Sheng, it's nice to meet you." Qiao Sheng stretched out his hand to shake Huo Yan and asked, "You are Professor Huo Qingkun's daughter, right?" ”

"yes, do you know my father?" Huo Yan asked curiously.

"Because of my work, I have had several encounters. I wonder how the professor is doing now? ”

"My father is now bedridden and has difficulty moving. However, his old man's mental state is not bad, and his attitude is relatively optimistic. ”

"Yes, say hello to the professor on my behalf. I'll definitely visit him at home when I have time. ”

After a few words of greeting, Qiao Sheng faced Gu Song again, and said to him with a serious expression: "You come out with me, there are a few things I want to confirm with you." ”

"Me?" Gu Song secretly glanced at Xia Shi and asked curiously, "If you want to hand over the work, shouldn't you look for the Xia team?" ”

"I'll look for him later, you come out with me first." Qiao Sheng glanced at Gu Song, who immediately understood what he meant.

The two of them left the conference room and came to the office temporarily prepared for Qiao Sheng by the city bureau.

Qiao Sheng closed the door tightly, sat face to face with Gu Song at both ends of the desk, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that there is a mole in your task force, who is responsible for leaking the information of the suspect to the murderer, is this true?"

"It should be true, otherwise how can we explain that the murderer shot at the suspect again and again before we acted."

"I also heard that ......" Qiao Sheng frowned and looked at Gu Song, "The case related to these victims, from beginning to end involved in solving the case, and the only people who know the details of the case are you and Xia Shi, this matter is also true?" ”

"Well...... Gu Song paused for a moment and replied slowly, "On the surface, it seems that one of the two of us is suspected of leaking information, but strictly speaking, I am the only one who knows all the details of the case." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's the case in Jinshui County, the only people who first went to help Zhao Hongshan solve the case were me and Huo Yan, and we arrived in Jinshui County the next morning in the summer. And Li Baofang's time of death was between one and two o'clock in the morning, so Xia Shi should not know the identity information of the suspect, and it is unlikely that he will report to the murderer. ”

"Then why did he go to Jinshui County the next morning? Did you call him over? ”

"No, he insisted on coming." Gu Song recalled the scene at that time and said, "On the night of Li Baofang's arrest, Xia Shi sent a message to Huo Yan and learned that the two of us were handling cases in Jinshui County. Probably worried about the situation on our side, he went to the county public security bureau early the next morning to make peace with us. At that time, I also teased him, saying that he came by such a coincidence, as if he knew that there was going to be a case in Jinshui County. He explained that he had a nightmare about a clownfish when he slept in the middle of the night, and he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but he didn't expect the nightmare to come true soon. Later, I thought about it carefully and felt that Xia Shi might have his personal reasons for coming to Jinshui County to find us. ”

"What is the reason?"

"You'll never guess." Gu Song suddenly laughed when he said this, "He may be eating my vinegar with Huo Yan, but he doesn't want to admit it, so he has to find a high-sounding reason for himself." ”

"Hey, we're getting down to business, you take it seriously." Qiao Sheng knocked on the table, and after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was very fresh, and couldn't help but ask, "When did those two people start?" ”

"It hasn't officially started yet, and it should still be in the process of getting to know each other." Gu Song smiled and said to Qiao Sheng, "Look at you, my thinking has been completely led astray, right?" ”

"Ahem......" Qiao Sheng cleared his throat and hurriedly said back to the topic, "Why didn't you break this matter in front of others?" Afraid of embarrassment? ”

"For all sorts of reasons, I'm afraid of embarrassment and I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. It doesn't matter if it's me or either of us who is suspected of tipping the whistle, because neither he nor I can do such a thing. ”

"You believe in summer time, huh?"

"Don't you believe him?" Gu Song asked rhetorically, "By the way, you don't believe him, if you believe him, you won't come out to talk to me alone." ”

"It's a special time and I don't trust anyone easily. Don't forget that the purpose of my case is to find the clownfish killer's accomplices. ”

"Understood. What do you plan to do next? ”

"I want to transfer people from the provincial department and reorganize the task force. Let Xia Shi and his men rest for a while. ”

"What about Mr. Huo? Will you continue to ask her to be a consultant? ”

Qiao Sheng shook his head and said, "For the sake of safety, I won't use it for the time being." After all, the enemy is a gang, and there is no evidence that there is only one person who is a traitor. ”

"Awesome!" Gu Song gave Qiao Sheng a thumbs up and said, "You even thought of this, you really deserve to be my boss." ”

"Isn't that logical? As long as the mole is not you, then two or more different people must have leaked the suspect's information. ”

"What if the mole is me?" Gu Song asked Qiao Sheng half-jokingly.

"That's not easy." Qiao Sheng took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, shook them in front of Gu Song, and said, "Arrest you first, then torture you to find out who your accomplice is." ”

"Ruthless enough." Gu Song snatched the handcuffs, threw them on the desk, and said with a smile, "If you want to arrest me, you have to find evidence first." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to mess with you." Qiao Sheng regained his serious expression and said to Gu Song, "I said that I won't trust anyone easily, but I don't include you. If I want to solve this case, I must have your help. ”

"Don't you doubt me at all?" Gu Song asked curiously.

"How can I say it......" Qiao Sheng touched his chin and replied thoughtfully, "I don't doubt you if it's reasonable." But if it's really you, wouldn't it be better for me to work with peace of mind by putting you by my side? ”
