Song Qi's impression of Cheng Han has always been that kind of child who is well-off and excellent in character and learning, so she has always wanted to hear what this child himself has to say. Because the girl had seen such a bloody scene with her own eyes, her emotions were still in it, and she had not yet withdrawn from it for a while.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked out of the door and saw Song Qi standing outside the door at the moment. Her eyes turned red in an instant, and she was going crazy to pounce on Song Qi, looking at the posture, as if she wanted her to pay for her life.

"Ms. Hu, please calm down!" Xu Ranran quickly stopped her behind her first, and took her away with a pull. left Song Qi, who was trembling, and dragged the corner of Cheng Han, even though he was extremely scared, he still didn't say a word.

Cheng Han took her into the house, rummaged in the drawer for a while, and finally found a cup of instant red bean milk tea, hurriedly brewed it with hot water, and brought it to Song Qi.

"Come, let's drink some milk tea to warm up first. It's getting cold this day, so don't catch a cold. ”

I don't know if it was Cheng Han's gentle tone, or the steaming milk tea with a fragrant milk flavor, Song Qi felt his stiff body, and it began to slowly warm up.

"Teacher Cheng, thank you."

"It's all a small thing, you warm up, don't be afraid. I called the police uncle outside to come in, and he came to ask you about it. Say whatever you have, don't be afraid. Remember, tell the truth, you can't lie, you know? ”

With that, Cheng Han went outside the door and called Xiao Rongzheng, who had been standing at the door, in. The two sat side by side opposite Song Qi, Xiao Rongzheng took out a pen, and while writing something in the notebook, he said, "I am Xiao Rongzheng who is in charge of this case, Officer Xiao." Song Qi, are you ready? ”

Song Qi rubbed the paper cup containing milk tea with both hands, the water temperature was a little high, and he felt hot through the cup. But she held the cup tightly in her hand and nodded.

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between you and the deceased Hu Sasa?"

"Ordinary classmates", Song Qi paused, "And we are all members of the ballet team, I am the captain, and she is a team member." ”

"So, is there a rivalry between the two of you?"

Hearing this question, Song Qi smiled bitterly.

"In a place like the dance team, we grew up competing and came out of the competition. After all, who doesn't want to be the one to stand center stage and be the one in the limelight. ”

"As far as I know, tomorrow's Halloween ball, your dance team has a program, and the lead dancer was supposed to be yours, why did it end up being Hu Sasa? And you, will you hold a grudge against Hu Sassa because of this incident? ”

This question was obviously asking if it was the person he killed, Song Qi looked at Xiao Rongzheng a little confused, and then looked at Cheng Han, who had been sitting next to Xiao Rongzheng without saying a word.

Cheng Han looked at her and nodded at her. Song Qi adjusted his breathing, took a deep breath, and then replied in a low voice, "This time we are going to perform Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", but it is only the clip about the black swan. Compared with Hu Sasa, her temperament is more in line with the image of a black swan. Everyone is a fair competition, if you lose, you lose, and next time you win back, it's not a two- or three-year-old child, so you can't face the result. ”

"You're calm. So can you tell us about the time between Hu Sasa texting you and you finding out that she was killed? ”

Song Qi felt a little uncomfortable sitting upright in the chair all the time, she moved back, leaned back in the chair, and replied, "She sent me a message at about half past four, saying that she had something to tell me and asked me to go to the auditorium to find her." ”

"And then you went?"

"Yes."

"How do you remember so clearly, half-past four?"

"Because we had the last class at that time, and as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, her text message came, so I remember it clearly."

"Go on."

"I thought it was about the rehearsal, so I didn't dare to delay, and went directly to the auditorium to find her. The lights weren't fully on, so I thought she hadn't come yet. I just thought about turning on the light, don't go blind in the dark, and bump it again. And if there is really any contradiction, turn on the lights, and everyone will have something to say openly. However, who knows, as soon as I turned on the light, I saw ......"

Speaking of this, Song Qi couldn't help but reach out to cover his mouth, retching, and those bloody pictures came back to his mind.

Xiao Rongzheng saw her collapse and helped her change the topic, "What about after that?" Did you walk in and check on her? ”

"I don't dare, I'm so scared, how dare I look at her!" She cried breathlessly, "I thought about Teacher Cheng not working for the police, so I thought about looking for her." As a result, I just ran out of the door and bumped into Hu Sasa's sister. ”

Song Qi was crying and looked at Cheng Han in despair. At this moment, even when she listened to what she said, she felt that she was the murderer of Hu Sasa. Because during the time she was alone in the auditorium, there was no one to testify to what she did. She wanted to retort, saying that she wasn't, but all the rebuttals pale in front of those timelines.

"Teacher Cheng, it's really not me, it's not me!" Song Qi hugged the cup of milk tea that had turned cold and cried bitterly. After all, he was still a child, and the fragile nerve that had been strained for so long was broken all of a sudden. She really didn't understand, she didn't do anything, but she seemed to have done everything.

Cheng Han let her collapse in front of her, and looked at the transcript that Xu Ranran had just left without changing his face. Raising his eyes, he asked Song Qi his first question.

"Song Qi, you tell the teacher, did you take advantage of your position as the captain to isolate and prank Hu Sasa with the rest of your dance team? Like, damaging her dancing shoes? ”

The girl, who had already broken down in tears, raised her head and looked at Cheng Han in disbelief, as if she had made a big joke. She wiped her tears from her sleeve and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Teacher, to be honest, although we all look like we are in the same school, we are all classmates, there is no difference. However, there is still a fundamental difference between me and Hu Sasa. That is, everything she wants, but I'm tired of it. I won't even take the high school entrance examination, so I will go directly to country A next year to study, and then I will have the opportunity to study in the world's top ballet company.

These are all things that Hu Sasa can't get with her hard work, and in my opinion, she is just an insignificant person. So, why should I waste my time, and experience, for someone like this? ”

"You mean that someone is doing these things in your name?" Xiao Rongzheng, who had been recording the pen, paused.

"Hey", Song Qi sighed, lowering his head a little dejectedly, as if he had grown up in an instant.

"I don't know who did these things in my name, but I can really swear that I didn't do it!" She stared at Cheng Han intently, her expression determined.

Cheng Han nodded, and when he saw Xiao Rongzheng stop writing, he came over and helped Song Qi up.

"Your situation, we understand, you can go home first. If there is anything, we will contact you. ”

Cheng Han took the cup of milk tea in Song Qi's hand, and didn't move, but it was already cold. She casually put it on the table, handed the schoolbag to Song Qi, and accompanied her out of the police station.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, a well-dressed middle-aged couple immediately gathered around Song Qi, shushing and asking for warmth. The woman even hugged Song Qi, and the two of them cried together.

"You are Song Qi's parents, right? She's a little frightened, take her home and take a hot bath, drink a bowl of ginger soup, don't get sick. Cheng Han looked at them, although he couldn't bear to interrupt, but he still gave an instruct.

Song Qi's father walked over, shook hands with Cheng Han politely, and then handed over a business card, "Comrade, thank you for sending my daughter out, if you need anything, just call me directly, our whole family will cooperate well." Moreover, if the final investigation reveals that it is really my daughter's fault, I will never tolerate adultery. When the time comes, I'll send her over personally! ”

He said firmly, but it made the mother and daughter behind him cry even more sadly.

Cheng Han was really embarrassed to stand there, but he could only say, "Thank you for your cooperation, I'm sorry for your trouble." In his heart, he secretly scolded the person who released the news.

Back in the office, Xu Ranran and a few people had already ordered takeout, and she handed Cheng Han a crab roe tofu rice bowl and a small paper cup.

"No, Han, the double espresso you need. Cheer up, we still have a bad battle to fight! ”

After she finished speaking, Cheng Han blinked, then turned around and handed another boxed lunch to Bai Pigeon. The white pigeon took it and said thank you a little awkwardly. Since the two of them quarreled in the hot pot restaurant, there is usually no superfluous communication except for necessary work exchanges. Several big men in the police station saw it in their eyes and were in a hurry, but they couldn't do anything about it.

"No thanks, just remember to transfer the food money."

These words made Bai Ge, who was still a little moved just now, immediately roll his eyes, immediately took out his mobile phone, transferred the lunch money, and shook the receipt voucher in front of Xu Ranran's eyes.

"Look clearly, the money is given to you, don't lie to me in the future!"

"Oops, there are comings and goings, welcome to visit next time!"

Xie Wencong and Shi were both secretly holding back a smile, and in order not to let the two ladies find out, they couldn't wait to bury their heads in the lunch box.

"Alright, let's talk while we eat." Xiao Rongzheng projected Hu Sasa's information on the big screen, and after everyone saw it, they were a little embarrassed.

Xu Ranran looked at the screen and sighed, "Hey, it seems like this is also a poor child." Her father died early, leaving only her mother and children to depend on each other. Later, her mother was also seriously ill in bed, and it was her sister who dropped out of school early to work for her education. No wonder her sister reacted so violently today. It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and the child she brought up is gone, and no one can accept it. She remembered that Hu Xiaoxiao was almost in a state of collapse when she made the transcript today, and she was a little worried.

Xie Wencong looked at his computer screen and said, "We have also investigated Hu Xiaoxiao, her grades have always been among the best when she was in school, and her reputation is not bad among teachers or classmates." Her father died in a car accident during the first semester of her junior year of high school. Because my mother couldn't bear the blow, she was hospitalized with cerebral congestion, and after being discharged from the hospital, she was also paralyzed in bed and lost her ability to work.

At that time, Hu Sasa was only five years old and had not yet entered elementary school. There was no labor force at home, so Hu Xiaoxiao had to give up her studies and work to pay for her mother's medical expenses and her sister's tuition fees, while also taking care of her mother and sister's diet and daily life. In this case, she can still send her sister to an international school and also learn ballet, which shows that she has pinned all her hopes on this sister.

However, fortunately, her sister is also smart and competitive, and not long ago won an award for programming. You know, the people who participated in that competition were all elites in the IT industry. It's a shame to be able to write and dance, but it's also a pity. ”

Then, he pressed the keyboard, and a photo of Song Qi appeared on the screen.

"This is the current suspect, Song Qi. Compared to the first two, she was really a white swan and an ugly duckling. Song Qi grew up in a wealthy family, his father had a business mind, and several large and small companies were opened; My mother is also the general agent of a fashion brand in China, and she has never worried about money. is such a top-notch child in all aspects, an excellent child of someone else's family, what is the motive for Hu Sasa's murder? ”

"It's hard to say," Bai Ge thought for a while and said, "She must not be able to see Hu Sasa compare to herself." Sometimes, this kind of eldest lady who has always been on top can't stand the feeling of being overtaken at all. ”

Xu Ranran couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Please, people are well-educated, okay, didn't you read what she said, you don't care about Hu at all." Should you be like you, be careful? ”

"Xu Ranran, we are discussing the case now, don't always pull it on me!"

"Hey, I'm just discussing the case. What are you pulling on yourself for? I have to rush to sit down, who is to blame. ”

"That's it!" Xiao Rongzheng looked at these two people and was angry.

"You two are colleagues, comrades-in-arms. At the critical moment, the life has to be given to the other party's person. Yes? Now give me a bickering here, do you still have a weight? Do you want to do it anymore? If you don't want to do it, just pack up my things and leave, don't be an eyesore in front of my eyes! ”

His face was already dark, but now he was angry, and everyone lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to gasp.

Cheng Han originally wanted to help Xu Ranran say something, but when he saw Xiao Rongzheng's black face that was about to reach the ground, he silently picked up the photo of the crime scene in front of him and looked at it.

That photo is a close-up of the murder weapon, not a common dagger, the whole workmanship is meticulously carved, especially the workmanship of the handle, which integrates the patterns of Chinese and Western cultures, and looks particularly exquisite. However, she found that the direction of several patterns on the handle of the knife was not so smooth, as if she was deliberately outlining something.

She touched Xiao Rongzheng next to her with her elbow and handed him the photo, "My eyes are not very good, can you see what this looks like?" ”

Xiao Rongzheng took it and took a closer look. V？ Could this be the initials of the maker of this knife? Well? He pointed to the exposed blade and explained to Cheng Han, "Look here, it has a groove. It was modified according to the wartime military spur, and was specially used for bloodletting. This knife is kind of interesting. ”

"In that case, White Dove, can you find out the origin of this dagger with these letters?" Cheng Han asked with a serious face.

"When, of course you can." Bai Ge was stunned for a moment, secretly glanced at Xiao Rongzheng, and found that he didn't look here, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Han got up and put the photo on Bai Pigeon's table, "That's okay, you are our most powerful IT talent, we can rest assured that we will hand it over to you." ”

"No problem!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

And Xu Ranran lowered her head the whole time, puffed out her cheeks, and didn't dare to speak. Xie Wencong on the side silently sandwiched the big chicken thighs in his chicken thigh rice to her rice.

At this moment, the internal line of the office rang. Xiao Rongzheng walked over and picked up the phone.

"Well, okay. You tell her to wait down there, and we'll get over here. ”

"Boss, what's wrong?" Everyone was a little curious.

"The colleague on duty said that a junior high school girl came to us and said that she wanted to provide clues. White pigeon, you and the stone are here, check the information of the knife carefully, and then dig these three people deeper, I always feel that there is still something that has not been revealed. Others, come down with me. ”

As soon as the words fell, people other than the white dove and the stone immediately put down the lunch box and rushed downstairs. When Cheng Han was also walking down quickly, Xiao Rongzheng grabbed her and whispered in her ear.

"You wait a while, watch in the next room first, don't show up."

"Why?" Cheng Han was a little puzzled.

"That girl's name is Bai Tingting."

"Bai Tingting?" Hearing this name, Cheng Han thought about it, and really lost his temper, "Okay, I know." ”

As she spoke, she wanted to leave, but Xiao Rongzheng still didn't let go, and forced a lump of something into her mouth.

"You haven't eaten a few bites of rice yet, eat some chocolate to replenish your energy first, and save a while of low blood sugar." then pulled Cheng Han and rushed downstairs quickly.

Cheng Han was dragged by him, and while running, he tasted this piece of chocolate. As the layers of fragrant and delicate chocolate melt in the mouth, the hazelnuts and caramel crumbs slowly reveal their true colors. Gently crushing them with your teeth, the richness of hazelnuts and the characteristic aroma of caramel are mixed together, as if all the tiredness is swept away.

Walking to the door of the interrogation room, Xiao Rongzheng nodded at her and walked in. Only then did Cheng Han realize that a piece of chocolate with a complete package was lying in the palm of his hand.
