Chapter 16: Back to square one

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Forensic Medical Office.

"Are you feeling better?" Qiao Qianwen came in from outside and saw Yu Meng bandaging Deng Ming with gauze.

"Why don't you go to the hospital?"

"Hey, I don't bother the doctors who save the lives of my little injury. It's a strange feeling to ask the forensic doctor to stitch up my wounds. Deng Ming was laughing, and immediately felt a pain in his head, "Hey, it hurts!" Get started! ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with the forensic doctor, our forensic doctor doesn't hesitate to sew it for you!" Yu Meng snorted coldly and pressed his shoulders down on the white push bed, "You give me a good lie like a dead man for a while!" ”

β€œ... OK, OK. ”

Qiao Qianwen shook her head with a smile, returned to the studio with a little tiredness, and sat on the office chair. And as soon as she squinted her eyes, Yu Meng's curious question came to her ear.

"Sister Qiao, are you back from the interrogation room? How is Captain Xing's trial? Has the murderer been caught? ”

β€œ..... Moe. ”

"Huh? What's wrong Sister Qiao?? ”

Qiao Qianwen opened her eyes slightly, and in front of her was Yu Meng's longing eyes. She sighed secretly and explained slowly.

"The woman with the purple hair really has nothing to do with the case, and the suspect and the other tenants have already left. The skinny man was locked up. ”

"Huh? He's the murderer. No wonder you ran before! Yu Meng exclaimed.

β€œ.... He fled, not because he killed someone, but because he was indeed on drugs and intended to attack the police to escape. Qiao Qianwen looked at the ceiling silently, "But we haven't completely ruled out his suspicion for the time being." But looking at Xing Yi's meaning, he had already determined that the person was not the murderer. ”

"Neither is he? So who is that? ”

"Before I came back, Xing Yi was still interrogating Xiao Jie." Qiao Qianwen recalled the look in Xing Yi's eyes when she looked at Xiao Jie before she left, and she was obviously suspicious to the core.

"Xiao Jie?" Yu Meng blinked, "I don't think Xiao Jie has anything to do with the case." Captain Xing can't be mistaken. ”

"I don't know what he means.," Qiao Qianwen frowned and muttered, "However, some people who seem to have nothing to do with the case are sometimes inextricably linked. ”

"But Xiao Jie...."Qiao Qian's words changed again, "He is only a freshman, and his major is economic and trade management, which has nothing to do with painting, and he looks obedient, not like a person who can commit such a shocking murder at all." ”

There were a few knocks on the door, and the office door was opened directly from the outside.

"Deng Ming?" Yu Meng looked at the visitor suspiciously, "Why don't you lie down well?" ”

"Hey." Deng Ming covered the wound on his head and explained to the two, "Team Xing said let me go, Forensic Doctor Qiao, I'll go first." ”

"Did he say anything?" Qiao Qianwen sat up and looked at him.

"It was said that Xiao Jie's father, Xiao Lixing, was here and asked me, the 'victim', to go and discuss compensation."

"Xiao Jie.... Finished reviewing? Didn't you Captain Xing say anything? ”

"No, I didn't say anything...."Deng Ming was a little puzzled, and then said, "Forensic Doctor Qiao, I'll go over first." ”

"Well, go ahead."

"Sister Qiao, do you really doubt him?" Yu Meng said strangely.

"Hmm... Who? ”

"Xiao Jie."

"No, I'm just asking..."

Qiao Qianwen smiled lightly.

-------------------

In the office of the criminal investigation captain, the middle-aged man watched the pointer on the watch slowly walk towards the hour, and finally got impatient, stood up and straightened his wrinkled suit.

"I've been waiting for so long, when will your Captain Xing come?" He asked Yang Yi, who was close to the desk at the door.

"Mr. Xiao, you wait, you'll be here after the trial." Yang Yi said, quietly holding his glasses.

"Finished? Didn't I tell you that my son had nothing to do with it? Xiao Lixing frowned, looking helpless, "Why don't you believe it?" It's all those tenants who made trouble, you quickly let my son go, I'm very short of time, and I have several customers behind me! ”

"If you're short on time, let's leave quickly, you don't have to waste your time on me."

Outside the office door, Xiao Jie looked at his father, who had not shown up for several months, without too much expression on his face.

"Eh, you kid!" Deng Ming clenched his fists and couldn't help but step forward, but Xing Yi on his side stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at him and shook his head slightly.

"What do you say? Tell me again! Xiao Lixing stood in place, looking out the door, looking at his own son's cold eyes.

"I said, you don't care if I live or die." Xiao Jie walked around his father into the office and casually picked up his schoolbag on the chair.

Xiao Jie's cold words from the bottom of his heart pierced Xiao Lixing's heart, he didn't know when his well-behaved and sensible son became like this.

"You... You! Xiao Lixing pointed at his son, trembling all over, his brain was in chaos, he pulled him over, and slapped him in the face with a slap in his hand.

"Rebel!! Unfilial son! ”

Xiao Jie, who was slapped with this slap, fell to the ground in an instant, and half of his face quickly became red and swollen.

saw that Xiao Jie stood up like no one, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, looked at his father and sneered.

"You still have a smile?! You made a mistake and you still have a smile?! ”

Seeing him wave his palm again, Xing Yi finally stepped forward a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to block it, and said coldly,

"Mr. Xiao, this is not the place for you to teach your son, please pay attention to your words and deeds."

"Whew, me off, me off!!" Xiao Lixing was still a little sensible, gasping for breath to put away his anger.

"You may be seated."

Xing Yi sat on his office chair and looked at the father and son in front of him.

Xiao Jie's mother died, and his father ignored it, and this big boy recruited so many tenants with the same occupation as his mother. This intention has to make people a little confused.

He didn't actually interrogate him at all, because in that case, he would be very defensive and what he said would not be truthful enough. Especially for an unusual child like Xiao Jie.

"Xiao Jie, although your father is here, I will leave the decision to you." He smiled meaningfully at Xiao Jie.

"Decision, give it to me?" Xiao Jie's eyes lit up with a hint of interest.

It is impossible for him not to be interested in handing over the initiative to him in front of his father, who has always been strong.

"He's a little kid who doesn't understand anything, don't you understand either?" Xiao Lixing immediately stopped him from speaking out dissatisfied.

"He's not young, and at 18 years old, he should be responsible for his actions, right?" Xing Yi looked at Xiao Lixing, "If you continue to try to obstruct our conversation, I will prosecute you for obstructing official business." ”

For an honorary entrepreneur like Xiao Lixing, he can't get caught up in any lawsuit that damages the faΓ§ade, even if the final winner is him, he will not take this risk.

He could only turn his face away to show the anger in his heart.

"Xiao Jie, for my subordinate's injury, you can make a choice, one is to compensate the corresponding amount, and the other is to answer a few questions from me, and then you can leave."

"Really? You're not going to fool me, are you? Xiao Jie looked at Xing Yi suspiciously. Even Xiao Lixing, who was on the side, raised his brows in astonishment.

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase." He looked back earnestly.

"Okay." Xiao Jie leaned back in his chair and made his choice.

"I'll pick the question."

"Why are you renting?"

"Because I live alone, I'm lonely."

"Why are you only looking for painters?"

β€œ.... Because my mother is a painter, I have liked to paint since I was a child, Xiao Lixing didn't let me learn, nor did I let my mother teach me, now that I am an adult, I have also been admitted to the school he asked me to take in...."Speaking of his mother, Xiao Jie slowly lowered his head, and he couldn't say anything.

"So if you want to learn what you want to learn, you can hire a professional painter as a tenant, so that you won't be lonely, and you can learn to paint, killing two birds with one stone." Xing Yi silently took his words.

Xiao Jie raised his face and looked at him.

"May I ask you a question?"

"Yes."

"Are you cops really useful?"

"Why do you say that?" Xing Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Because," Xiao Jie stopped talking, stretched out his hand to his father, and continued, "This man killed his wife, and you didn't pay any attention to it." ”

"What!! What kind of bastard are you talking about?! Xiao Lixing was furious and looked at his son in astonishment.

This Xiao Jie has a deep hatred for Xiao Lixing, so he casually wants to put him in prison.

"Mr. Xiao, please pay attention to your own words and deeds." Xing Yi opened his mouth to warn.

"Humph!" Xiao Li stood up suddenly, pointed at Xing Yi and threatened, "You wait for me, let me tell you, I don't have an ordinary friendship with your director!" ”

After saying that, he picked up his handbag and rushed away.

Xing Yi looked at Xiao Jie, who was expressionless on the seat on the left, and said with a faint smile,

"If you have evidence, welcome to report it."

"No, you let me know how incompetent you police are." Xiao Jie glanced at him coldly, and stood up with his bag.
