"This kid is so annoying, I didn't sleep all night, and I came to stir up trouble for a long time." Xia Shi gritted his teeth with hatred, and the green tendons on his face could be seen clearly.

Gu Song patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You dissipate your anger, at least we don't have to waste time on Ma Zhichen now." Let's check the situation on Deng Jun's side. ”

"I've already asked Meng Yu to take someone to investigate."

"Then you take me to see the scene of the second case, there are some situations I want to know about on the spot."

"This is not in a hurry, wait for me to ......" Before Xia Shi's words were finished, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. As soon as he saw that the caller ID was Xia Jinyu's number, he hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. "Jin Yu, is there something wrong? I'm busy right now. ”

"Interrupting your work?"

"No, I just finished interrogating a suspect."

"So, do you have time to have dinner together?"

"Forget about eating, I really can't get out of here."

"Teacher Huo is also there."

"Huh?" Xia Shi was about to hang up the phone, but he was stunned for a moment and put the phone back to his ear, "You mean Huo Yan?" ”

"yes, we were talking about your heroic deeds just now, and she really wanted to meet you."

"Where are you, I'll look for you."

"What, you're free again now?" Xia Jinyu asked with a wicked smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, send me the address quickly."

Hanging up the phone, Gu Song looked at Xia Shi suspiciously and asked, "What's the situation, who wants to invite you to dinner?" ”

Xia Shi didn't answer, and asked Gu Song instead, "Hey, do you remember Teacher Huo Qingkun?" ”

"Of course I remember, I am a well-known criminal psychology expert in our province, and I used to be a visiting professor at our police academy. What's ......" Gu Song's eyes flashed with excitement, "Teacher Huo wants to see you?" ”

"Well, it's indeed Mr. Huo, but it's another one."

On the way, Xia Shi introduced the basic situation of Huo Yan to Gu Song. Huo Yan is Huo Qingkun's only daughter, who has been influenced by her father since she was a child and is very interested in criminal psychology. When she grew up, she applied for a related major and studied in the United States for four years.

This spring, Huo Yan came back from the United States and taught at R University of Municipal Law, which happened to be Xia Jinyu's teacher. This kid mentions Huo Yan to me every once in a while, and ......" Xia Shi shook his head with a wry smile, "He also wants to introduce Huo Yan to me as a girlfriend." ”

"What? Xia Jinyu wants to arrange a blind date for you? Gu Song thought he had heard it wrong, and he was stunned for two seconds and suddenly burst out laughing. So, that kid doesn't know why you've been single for so many years? ”

"I didn't tell him, of course he didn't know. Forget it, it's okay not to mention the things that have been going on for so long. Anyway, I'm going to talk about work today, and I'll talk about other things later. ”

When the two arrived at the Thai restaurant, Xia Jinyu had already thoughtfully re-ordered a few hot dishes for them. After introducing each other, Xia Jinyu playfully gave up the position opposite Huo Yan to Xia Shi, and went around to the other end of the dining table and sat next to Huo Yan.

arranged a blind date for his brother for the first time, Xia Jinyu's heart was both nervous and excited. He sipped a drink while secretly observing the reactions of the two blind dates, and found that Huo Yan's attention was not on Xia Shi's body at all, but staring curiously at Gu Song's delicate face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this scene, Xia Jinyu's heart sank, and after his heart was finished, Mr. Huo should not have taken a fancy to Officer Gu. But on second thought, he felt that something was not quite right. "Teacher Huo, did you misunderstand something? Brother Gu Song has nothing to do with that person, but he just happens to look a little similar. ”

"Who are you talking about?" Gu Song looked at Xia Jinyu in confusion, and immediately realized who "that person" was referring to.

"It's nothing, we were just talking about Wei Chiliang's case, and Mr. Huo wants to collect some information and do a case analysis during class." Xia Jinyu explained with a smile.

It's not the first time that Gu Song has been mistaken for that wanted criminal, and he doesn't mind at all. Not only that, but he also pretended to be that person as an undercover agent in prison, and even thought of himself as that person completely. He looked at Huo Yan with a calm expression, and said half-jokingly: "Don't be afraid, that demon has been sleeping in the flowing river for a long time, and he will never hurt a beautiful girl like you again." ”

"I'm sorry." Huo Yan felt sorry for her faux pas, hurriedly turned her gaze to Xia Shi's side, and quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Officer Xia, you are still busy with the '9.16 murder case', right?" How's it going? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I came to you today for that case." Xia Shi had no intention of going on a blind date, and he couldn't care about his brother's hard work, so he went straight to the point.

"Looking for me?" Huo Yan was a little surprised, but when she saw Xia Shi's serious expression, she knew that the other party was not joking with her.

"Brother, are you mistaken, I'm ......"

"Jin Yu, don't intervene!" Xia Shi made a "stop" gesture, "Anyway, you've finished eating, why don't you go home first, we're going to talk about work next." ”

"No, you ......" Xia Jinyu swept to the three people present in turn with innocent eyes, and suddenly found that he had become the superfluous one, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. However, he quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, otherwise his brother would not have brought back Officer Gu, who had resigned for more than half a year, especially on such a special day.

"Well, I won't bother you talking about business." Xia Jinyu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then slapped the bill on the table in front of Xia Shi, leaving a sentence of "don't forget to settle the bill later" and left in style.

At 19:23 in the evening, Meng Yu stood in the dim and narrow corridor and raised his hand and knocked on the door of room 701. He was no stranger to the family. Ten days ago, he came here once, and the second suspect, Deng Jun, and his wife and daughter lived in this warm little family behind the door.

After the sound of slippers scraping against the floor, a crack opened in the door. However, the woman who opened the door turned around and walked towards the kitchen inside without confirming the identity of the comer, as if she took Meng Yu for granted as her husband who came home from work.

"Really, why didn't you bring the key? I'm busy cooking......" The woman casually said a few words, and after a few seconds, she brought out a plate of freshly fried pork with green peppers from the kitchen, urging, "Hurry up and wash your hands, and then ask Xiaotong to come out to eat." After the woman finished speaking, she was about to go back to the kitchen to serve the food, Meng Yu couldn't help coughing twice, and said to the woman apologetically: "I'm sorry, we are ......"

Hearing that the voice was not right, the woman realized that she was confused. She turned around and looked at the two young men who had walked into the living room without permission, and her face immediately became gloomy. "Huh? Why are you again? Who let you in? ”

"You just opened the door yourself." Meng Yu's colleague Jiang Wei said with a smile.

"If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have opened the door." The woman took a few steps forward and threw her untied apron the chair next to the dining table to vent her resentment. "Tell me, what else do you want to inquire about? Do you still think my husband is a murderer? ”

"Oh, don't you say it so badly." Jiang Wei hurriedly explained, "We just wanted to rule out Deng Jun's suspicion of committing the crime, and we didn't say that he killed the person." Since you believe that Deng Jun is innocent, then cooperate with our investigation, why be so angry with us. ”

"Hmph, why am I angry?" The woman glared at Jiang Wei viciously, and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you know how much trouble your casual suspicion has caused to my family life?" ”

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused to your life due to work. However, it is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the investigation of the public security organs, and we have not done anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Because of your investigation, my daughter was worried that her father would be taken away by the police, and she had nightmares for days on end, crying every time. I didn't listen to any persuasion I had, as if I recognized her father as a murderer. ”

"We can't blame us for that." Jiang Wei and Meng Yu looked at each other for a moment, and both felt inexplicable. "We've never talked about the case in front of your daughter, and even if she hears any gossip, it's certainly not from us, and you can't just dump the pot at us."

"No matter where you heard it...... the woman paused and looked away with an uneasy expression, "If you didn't suspect that my husband was suspected of committing a crime, how could Xiaotong become like this?" ”

"That's why you're being unreasonable. Could it be that Deng Jun had been to the victim's house before the crime, and we can't doubt him? According to you, are we not doing our job yet? Is the case still solved? ”

"I don't care, anyway because you ......"

"That's it!" Meng Yu interrupted the meaningless dispute between the two, glanced vigilantly at the closed door at the other end of the living room, and said to the woman in a low voice, "Ms. Jia, let's ask a few questions and leave, if you don't want your child to hear our conversation, then try to control your emotions." ”

Hearing this, the woman looked at her daughter's room as if from a dream, and seemed to realize that "the wall has ears". In fact, last Thursday night, if she hadn't spoken too loudly and accidentally let her daughter hear her quarrel with her husband, her daughter wouldn't have been like a demon and thinking all day long.

"Ask whatever you want, I'll have to cook after that." The woman's attitude softened, but there was still a slight impatience in her tone.

"Last night, what time did Deng Jun come home?"

"What?" The woman was stunned for a moment, very surprised by this question. "Aren't you investigating the September 16 case? Why are you asking about last night again? ”

"Please answer my question first." Meng Yu said coldly.

"What the hell is going on?" The woman rubbed her hands nervously, and her face became more and more ugly.

"Deng Jun wasn't home last night, was he?" Meng Yu asked further.

He ......" The woman turned her head sideways, not daring to look directly into Meng Yu's eyes again. Although she didn't believe that her husband would do such a crazy thing, the woman's intuition made her realize that her husband seemed to be hiding something from her.

"Ms. Jia, I believe that you are an understanding person, and if you have anything to say, you will tell the truth, which is not harmful to you or the child."

"Okay." After some struggle, the woman finally made a compromise. "Deng Jun went out to drink with friends last night, and he didn't return home until the middle of the night."

"Who did he drink with?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me."

"When he got home, did he behave out of the ordinary?"

"People are drunk like that, it's normal to think about normal."

"Was he wearing the same clothes when he went out yesterday and when he came home? Where is the dress now? ”

"Of course it's the same clothes." The woman replied inexplicably, "I have washed the garment, and it is now drying on the balcony." ”

"Can we take our clothes back and check them out?" Meng Yu glanced at Jiang Wei as he spoke, and without waiting for the woman to agree, the latter had already walked towards the balcony where the clothes were drying.

"What the hell are you investigating? I have the right to know the truth of the matter! ”

"The truth is that your husband has not yet escaped the suspicion of committing the crime, and you have to continue to cooperate with the police investigation."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of a key turning the lock outside the door. Deng Jun opened the door and walked into the house, staring at Meng Yu in a daze for a few seconds, the expression on his face was like the end was coming, fear and despair.
