Just when there was only one end of the cigarette left in Yan Junli's hand, the car window was knocked. Yan Junli pinched the cigarette butt and slowly rolled down the car window, and Yang Wenbin's delicate face wrinkled unhappily.

"Smoking again." Yang Wenbin opened the car door and sat on the co-pilot, and glanced at the cigarette butts in the ashtray with disgust, "Do you know if you smoke for a short life." ”

"Short life?" Yan Junli laughed and started the car, "What kind of short life are you afraid of doing this business, and it is still unknown whether you can die naturally." ”

Yang Wenbin ignored his ridicule and spoke directly about the case, "Could that corpse be Xie Mingqing's?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Yan Junli tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, "Before the DNA results came out, none of us knew. ”

"Then do you want the corpse to be Xie Mingqing's?"

"It's hard to say." Yan Junli sighed and said, "If the corpse is Xie Mingqing, then at least we have a new direction of investigation." But at the same time, the case will become more confusing. ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, leaned back, and put his head on the cushion, "I think the most confusing thing about this case is interpersonal relationships, it's messy like a ball of yarn, but I can't find the thread." ”

"Yes," Yan Junli agreed, "First of all, Xie Fengming's case is related to the case of disfigured female corpse twenty years ago, even if the murderer is not the same person, it must be for the same reason. Secondly, Xie Fengming's death led to at least two characters, one is Xia Baiyan and the other is Xie Mingqing. ”

"If Xie Mingqing is really related to the old case twenty years ago, we will have a breakthrough to find the murderer." Yang Wenbin frowned, "But everything else is still confusing." For example, what role does Keiko play in this case, such as what is Xia Baiyan's identity, and the Mi Qingye in Xie Fengming's body, is it left by the murderer, or is there another possibility? ”

"It's more than that." Yan Junli pondered for a while before he spoke, "I always feel that there should be another person in this case. ”

"And one more?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"Yes, if there is no such person, I always feel that something doesn't make sense." Yan Junli explained, "For example, who actually came up with those legends? It's so close to the case. For example, why did Keiko and the owner of the fried dumpling shop disappear so coincidentally on the day we went to investigate? Xia Baiyan deliberately fled, not so much because he was afraid of crime, but as if he was protecting someone. Keiko, Xia Baiyan, Xie Fengming, these seemingly unrelated characters are connected in series but are all related to this tragedy, don't you think there are any characters in the dark who have pulled a line for them, so that they can all become the key people in the case? ”

Yang Wenbin understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and fell into deep thought, "Then you mean, that unknown figure in the dark is the murderer we are looking for?" ”

"Chances are."

Under the clear sky, the car carrying the two people drove towards the C City Police Station.

However, what they didn't expect was that the police station actually welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Strict team, strict team!" As soon as Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin entered the door, they were almost bumped into the arms by Li Hong, who rushed over, and the latter braked sharply to stop.

"What's the matter, in a hurry?"

"Xia Baiyan!" Li Hongdao, "Captain, you will never believe that Xia Baiyan came to the police station by himself." ”

Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin glanced at each other and hurriedly walked in. Sure enough, Xia Baiyan's trademark unkempt blonde hair swayed around his head, his legs crossed, and some dirty sneakers were just on the table, looking like an uncle.

Yan Junli was angry when he saw it, and took three steps and two steps forward, "Xia Baiyan!" Put your feet down, what do you want to do? Where did you go when we were looking for you before? What are you doing here now? ”

Xia Baiyan's hippie smile was not serious, and he automatically ignored the sentence "put your feet down", "Oh, didn't I say it?" I was so busy looking for the cat when you were looking for me, and when the cat was found, I thought it was wrong. I'm so good...... No, how can an excellent citizen who is five good and six good be wanted by the police? So I made a glorious and great decision to turn myself in! ”

Yan Junli sneered, "Okay, come, Xiao Wu!" Bring the handcuffs and handcuff this man to the detention center! ”

Xia Baiyan immediately softened, "Hey, don't, don't, Officer Yan, I mean!" In order to prove that I am an excellent eight-good citizen, I decided to come to the police station in person and provide police clues to clear my suspicion of the handsome me! ”

Yan Junli smiled, "Okay, I'll believe you once, let's go, please come here." ”

originally thought that this dishonest Xia Baiyan was finally willing to obediently submit once, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat in the interrogation room, Xia Baiyan put his legs on the table.

"I want to drink Coke!"

"There's no Coke at the police station!" Yan Junli had a gloomy face.

"What? Coke at all! Xia Baiyan glared and said, "The service attitude is too bad, how can the prisoner speak." Is there a Sprite? ”

"Sprite doesn't either!" Yan Junli suppressed his anger and said, "White water and coffee, you choose." ”

"Oh-" Xia Baiyan looked disappointed, "Then coffee!" Bring my coffee! ”

"Don't you think you should at least use a 'please'?" Yan Junli said sharply.

"Oh!" Xia Baiyan said happily, "Please bring my coffee!" ”

Yan Junli really wanted to slap him.

The disposable paper cup was placed heavily in front of Xia Baiyan, and the force was so great that the coffee inside spilled out. Yan Junli sat opposite Xia Baiyan angrily, opened the notebook, and pressed the ballpoint pen refill fiercely.

"Alright, your coffee is also 'invited', it's time to speak." Yan Junli said, threateningly lowering his body and approaching Xia Baiyan, "Let me warn you first, as far as what you are doing so far, if you can't come up with any strong evidence or clues to prove your innocence, you may not be able to get out if you enter the door of the police station." ”

Xia Baiyan was not afraid at all, but also propped up his body, narrowed the distance between the two, and smiled mysteriously, "I came in, of course I didn't want to go out." Officer Yan, haven't you noticed that the inside of the bureau is much safer than the outside. ”

Yan Junli suddenly pulled away, his eyes sharp, "Let's start with that unknown corpse, how did you know that there was a corpse there?" ”

"That's not some nameless corpse." Xia Baiyan smiled contemptuously, "That's Xie Mingqing's corpse." ”

"Don't run away from the question, how do you know what I asked?"
