The ambulance sent Gao Wangming away. The Director walked up to me, and I could see the mixed emotions in his eyes.

"Xiao Shao, you will make our car and go back later, I want to talk to you." The director looked at me and said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Director." I responded seriously. But there is a secret joy in my heart. Ouyang Qian, who was standing on the side, winked at me. It can be seen that she is also very happy.

In an instant, my newly relaxed brain was lifted again. I suddenly remembered a detail, that is, when Ouyang Qian and I first arrived at this house, the front door and all the doors and windows of the main house were deliberately locked from the inside.

Especially the main entrance, because it is an old house where two old people have lived for a long time, so it is not the same as the modern security door, and the lock of the main entrance is not only the lock cylinder on the door, but also a plug on the ground. I was in such a hurry that I completely forgot this detail because I was in a hurry to lift Gao Wangming.

That is, before we break through the window, this should be a secret room.

Even if the murderer had the key to enter the house, there was no way he could have fastened the pins inside when he came out! In other words, unless there are some other secret passages, then it is very likely that the murderer is still on the scene!

I quickly stopped the director who was about to leave, and told him to quickly call someone to cordon off this area and send someone to search it immediately. The murderer is most likely in this house now!

Seeing me so serious, the director immediately sent someone to search the entire house.

The house was not large, and the search was quickly completed, and no one was found. Only a relatively narrow window was found in the location of the kitchen, which was supposed to be used to exhaust oil smoke to the outside. The murderer could only have escaped from here.

I looked at the small window, which was two meters above the ground, no more than a meter long, and less than fifty centimeters wide.

How can it be...... In such a small place, could it be that the murderer is a wonder man who can fly off the wall and shrink his bones?

I shook my head, I had just had a little joy of victory, and now I was beaten to the bottom again. No one will know how he managed to escape from this place.

The murderer is like a skilled magician, touching everyone's hearts and attracting everyone's attention, but he plays everyone in the palm of his hand again and again.

"Director, we found an egg in the kitchen, it's still hot." The police officer who searched reported to the chief.

Looking at the yellow-white egg in his hand, the director and I looked at each other.

Once again, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if there was no clue that was not deliberately left to us by the murderer: from the fingers that came out of the dumplings at the beginning, we were led here step by step, without knowing what kind of person we were up against.

Everything seems to be just a game set by him. We've been juggled around.

"Let's get the team up." The director waved helplessly.

After returning to the police station, I walked into his office with the chief.

"Xiao Shao, I believe you already know what happened last night in our bureau...... The incident was reported by the local media, causing an uproar in society. Under the pressure of public opinion, we immediately held an emergency meeting to show that this case was indeed not simple, and we had contacted our superiors and decided to reopen the investigation of the case and set up a serious crime team. Although it is not my personal decision to suspend your suspension of the investigation of the case, I would like to make a formal apology to you......" said the director with a cigarette in his hand.

I could see the apology on his face.

But as a police officer, we can't jump to conclusions about the outcome when the case is unclear, let alone just wronging a good person when the evidence is not conclusive. This is the most basic moral bottom line of a police officer, and it is also what we learned on the first day of being a criminal police school.

So I won't forgive him anyway, let alone ......

"Director, how many years have I been working under you?" I propped my hands on the table and said with a little sadness.

The director was stunned, and the cigarette in his hand trembled.

"Counting the days of your internship, it should be a full five years. I think at the beginning, you were just a hot-blooded hairy boy, and you were arranged to intern under the old director, and during the internship, you helped him solve a big case. Your grades in the police academy are exceptionally good, I remember when the old chief recommended you to me, he was very excited, saying that you are a rare genius, saying that I have found a treasure, hehe......"

The Director smiled bitterly.

The old director in his mouth is the teacher who once cultivated me, Fang Jing, Director Fang. He has been retired for 3 years and is now doing some small business with his wife in a small county town.

That was my lifelong teacher. My seniors. My idol. My comrade-in-arms. My friend. I Shao Feng is the most respected person in my life.

I retracted the topic about him, and asked in a tough tone: "The director, please tell me, was the so-called superior at that time to avoid the panic of the masses in the New Year, and also to avoid the pressure of media public opinion, so that you can close the case as soon as possible, and all kinds of signs at that time did indicate that Gao Wangming was the murderer." So, when he didn't admit it, you still used that kind of shady means to torture him to extract a confession, didn't you? ”

In the face of my questioning, the director was silent, just staring at the cigarette butt in front of him.

"Yes, we tortured him to extract a confession." It was a moment before he spoke.

Although I already had this answer in my heart, this sentence still made me feel extremely cold when this sentence came out of his mouth.

But now, the most important issue is not to argue about who is right and who is wrong, but to bring the murderers at large to justice.

I closed my eyes and didn't go any further.

"Director, I have asked to join the task force on this case. I will continue to investigate this case. I looked at the Director steadfastly.

"I'm sorry Xiao Shao, I really can't decide this, because the superiors have already transferred detectives from various police stations in the city, and the task force has been established, so you can't join the ...... anymore"

"Director, the agents from the city have arrived, and they are waiting for you in the conference room." A comrade policeman suddenly appeared at the door.

"Okay, I'll go. Xiao Shao, come with me and see what kind of people they are. ”

I nodded.

I walked into the conference room with the Director, and everyone in the seats stood up and saluted the Director.

Suddenly, my eyes met one of them. Our eyes met.

"Is that you?"

"It's me."
