The three of them came to the corridor, waiting for Mr. Huo to go through the discharge procedures, and chatting with each other. Gu Song asked Jiang Xinyue what the two sisters planned to do next, when they would return to their hometown, and when they would treat their mother. In order to get closer, Gu Song also emphasized that he and Huo Yan are very good friends, and they can ask themselves for help no matter what difficulties they have.

After chatting politely, Gu Song said to Jiang Xinyue sideways: "Last night, an unidentified guy broke into Dr. Li's villa and did something very terrible. Extrapolating from the time, it is likely that your sister had a brief contact with that person. We asked your sister about last night, not to provoke her and hurt her, but to protect her, because we don't know if that person will do anything to hurt your sister next. ”

Jiang Xinyue knew that before her sister was found by the police, she had seen a strange man in the villa. She insisted that the man had saved her and would not betray him to the police under any circumstances, and also asked Jiang Xinyue to keep the secret. However, Jiang Xinyue heard a different meaning from Gu Song's words. She asked Gu Song tentatively, "Is the person you said dangerous?" ”

"Of course it's dangerous!" Gu Song said in a very exaggerated tone, "That guy is a heinous murderer, the danger factor is quite high, I don't want your sister to be targeted by another demon as soon as her life is out of danger." ”

"No......" Jiang Xinyue's thoughts were a little confused, and she said to herself, "I don't think my sister has ever seen someone like that, otherwise she has no reason to lie to the police?" ”

"I guess......" Gu Song paused for a moment, stared at Jiang Xinyue's eyes seriously, and said, "Will your sister regard that person as a lifesaver?" And that person may have said to your sister that you should keep it a secret for him anyway. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyue instantly had goosebumps all over her body. If it weren't for the fact that her sister didn't show any surprise when she saw Gu Song just now, she would have suspected that the person who broke into the villa last night was the policeman in front of her. She was a little scared, afraid that her sister would be deceived by the bad guys again, but she promised her sister to keep it secret, and she didn't want to break her promise casually.

After being silent for a moment, Jiang Xinyue hid the panic in her heart and said to Gu Song: "I don't know if what you said is true, anyway, my sister didn't tell me anything." But......" she said, pretending not to know, "I can ask you privately, and maybe there are some things she will only say to my sister." ”

"That couldn't be better." Gu Song said gratefully.

Jiang Xinyue barely showed a wry smile, and said in her heart when did she become so good at acting. It's just that her clumsy acting skills can really fool the wise policeman in front of her?

Thinking about it, she saw Huo Yan walking towards them in a hurry. As if she had seen a savior, she walked to Huo Yan's side in three steps and two steps, and said in a low voice, "Teacher Huo, they are policemen, and they want to find out about my sister about the situation last night." ”

"I know." Huo Yan gently touched Jiang Xinyue's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, they are my friends and won't hurt your sister." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xinyue nodded obediently and said, "Let's go in, don't let my sister wait alone for a long time." ”

Subsequently, the four of them returned to the ward together.

Under Huo Yan's careful guidance, Jiang Peiyao finally cooperated with Qiao Sheng to answer a few questions, but the result was the same as yesterday, and the potential witness did not provide any valuable clues to the police.

Things were expected, and Qiao Sheng didn't feel too disappointed. When leaving the hospital, Qiao Sheng asked Gu Song, "Do you think Jiang Xinyue will help us find out the truth?" ”

Gu Song asked rhetorically, "Don't you think that little girl already knows something?" ”

"She's acting a little unnatural, but she's not necessarily lying."

"I don't know, but she was really frightened by my words, maybe she was worried about her sister's safety. Anyway, we can't give up this clue yet, give them some time first, and then we'll slowly figure it out. ”

At about six o'clock in the evening, in the office of the captain of the criminal police detachment of R City, Xia Shi was sitting at his desk and smoking a cigarette quietly. In front of him was a messy pile of materials related to the clownfish series of murders, and the contents of the materials were so familiar to him that he could memorize them backwards.

Half an hour ago, he had just called Qiao Sheng, hoping that Qiao Sheng would give him a chance to return to the task force. Even if he doesn't assign him any important tasks, just go back to be an errand boy, he is willing.

He was really unwilling to be kicked out of the task force like this, unwilling to be played around by the murderer, but he could only stay out of the matter, stand by and watch, and have no chance to bring those arrogant people who have no law to justice with his own hands. What made him even more angry was that Qiao Sheng actually left Gu Song, who was also suspicious, although he believed that Gu Song was innocent, and knew that the relationship between the two brothers was not comparable to those of them outsiders, but he was envious, jealous, and hateful.

And the investigators under him, who have put in so much effort for the clownfish case, and have been busy for so many days and nights, and now they are not allowed to interfere in the investigation of the case, and few people will feel balanced.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which brought Xia Shi's thoughts back to him. He said "Please come in", looked up and saw that it was Jiang Wei, and said half-jokingly: "Why don't you kid go home yet?" Why don't you go home and get some rest? ”

"I don't have the heart to go home and rest." Jiang Wei looked at Xia Shi aggrievedly, and said in a begging tone, "Team Xia, why don't you talk to Team Qiao again!" You see, we have been working hard for almost two months for this case, and now that we are fired, I feel aggrieved! ”

"You think I'm not aggrieved?" Xia Shi threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, sighed helplessly and said, "I have asked for instructions on the bureau leader's side and the Qiao team's side, but it is useless." They put the overall situation first, and think that Team Qiao's arrangement is the most secure, after all, there are traitors in our task force, and it is a risky thing for Team Qiao to continue to use our people to solve cases. ”

"But how did I hear about ......" Jiang Wei paused for a moment and said sourly, "Brother Song followed Team Qiao to handle the case, why does he have privileges?" Isn't he suspicious? ”

"Whether Gu Song is suspicious or not, we don't count, I think Team Qiao must have a reason for arranging it like this. Besides, Gu Song is different from us, he is a legend of the criminal police team, a detective recognized by everyone, and he is also the younger brother of Team Qiao, isn't it normal for Team Qiao to ask him to help solve the case? ”

"Because of this, I'm afraid that the Qiao team will be confused for a while and make low-level mistakes."

"What's wrong?" Xia Shi asked Jiang Wei with a frown.

"Team Xia, I'll ask you two questions: When did Brother Song return to the criminal police team to help? And when did the clownfish case start? ”

Xia Shi looked at Jiang Wei with a serious expression and did not speak. Jiang Wei continued: "Didn't you also say before that the clownfish killer deliberately competed with our criminal police team, and he would kill the suspect in which case we handled. A few days after Brother Song returned to the criminal police team, the clownfish killer began to be active, and he participated in every case, and it was he who found out the suspects in each case for the first time, and mastered the first-hand information, he had time and opportunity to leak the information to the clownfish killer, and it was even possible to commit the crime in person. ”

"What's his reason to do that? Are you full? Xia Shi glared at Jiang Wei, and there was nowhere to vent his anger in his heart. He could say whatever he wanted, but he was not happy that others would speak ill of Gu Song in front of him.

Jiang Wei is not a newcomer, of course he knows that Xia Shi and Gu Song are partners in life and death, and the relationship is so good that he has nothing to say, but he has always been straightforward and doesn't like to hide it. "To be honest, since Brother Da Song came back from the Liangshan Underground Prison, I haven't treated him as a completely normal person, can you guarantee that his current mental condition is fine?"

"His illness has been cured. Besides, what does this have to do with the case? Xia Shi asked angrily.

"Why doesn't it matter? If there is something wrong with his mental state, we can't think about his behavior with normal human thinking. ”

"It's just your assumption, and there's no evidence that his illness is showing signs of recurrence. The reason why he left the Interpol team, you know, he really doesn't have the leisure to do all this nonsense right now. ”

"Yes, I know. His wife's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he was forced to leave the criminal police team until September 30, when you asked him to come back and help, and then the clown's cases came one after another. What if he wants to take the opportunity to come back this time to get over the addiction of solving the case? You know him better than I do, isn't he the kind of workaholic who goes crazy if he leaves the case? ”

"Even if he was, he doesn't now." Xia Shi gritted his teeth and said, "He just wants to take care of his family wholeheartedly now, and he can't wait to exchange his life for his family's health." He knows what to do and what not to do. ”

"That's exactly what I want to say about the motive for the crime." Jiang Wei looked at Xia Shi and said righteously.
