Chapter 17 Retreat as Advance

"Wait."

Xiao Jie stopped near the door and turned to look at him.

"Is there anything else?"

"Do you know how to draw?" He looked into Xiao Jie's eyes.

"Drawing...? I won't. ”

After speaking, Xiao Jie turned around and disappeared at the door.

"Boss, I really didn't understand," Deng Ming pulled out a stool and sat down across from him, "You just let him go?" ”

"He didn't break the law and didn't commit any crime, how can I arrest him?" Xing Yi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes slightly tiredly.

"But, you kept him for so long, I thought there must be a reason." Deng Ming was puzzled.

"Well, there are reasons, but the time is not ripe enough."

"Timing? What timing. ”

He was silent for a while, did not answer Deng Ming's question, and said instead.

"I'm going to give you a few days off, so everyone can have a good rest. Especially you. ”

"Holiday?" Deng Ming couldn't believe what his ears had heard, and he even preferred to believe that his head had been smashed and he had auditory hallucinations.

"All our suspects are gone, let's go back to square one!!"

Yang Yi, who was in front of the computer, also raised his head to look at Xing Yi in disbelief and asked,

"Team Xing, you won't be afraid that Mr. Xiao will go to the director to complain, right?"

"Complaining...."Xing Yi closed the case file on the table for several days, and smiled at the two of them, "Do you think our director is more afraid of Mr. Xiao or me?" ”

"This...."The two of them scratched their heads, tacitly. Compared with Mr. Xiao's insignificant threat, the director is of course more afraid of losing their captain Xing, and the reason for this....

"The beginning of a circle is its end."

The corners of his mouth curled.

-----------

It's been three days.

Qiao Qianwen looked at the book in her hand and wandered out of the world for the nth time.

She sat up irritably from the couch by the floor-to-ceiling window and placed the book on the small table.

Xing Yi, what the hell did he think, giving them a vacation at this juncture?

"Nope."

Qiao Qianwen thought about it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door and walked straight to the guest room on the other side.

She had to ask, what was going on in this man's stomach?

As soon as his hand reached only an inch away from the door, he heard Xing Yi's voice clearly coming from inside the door. Qiao Qianwen slowly put down her hand that wanted to knock on the door, folded her arms and leaned outside the door and listened quietly.

In the room, the cold air was slightly sent out from the central air conditioner, relieving the heat of the weather, and he stood by the window and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke into the glass.

"Xing Yi, let me tell you such important news as the suspect's address, you should know that you owe me a favor, right?" On the phone, Fu Zhiheng's unique and recognizable hoarse voice came into his ears.

"What do you want?" He opened his mouth slightly, and white smoke etherealized and lingered around him.

"Hahahaha, what I want, you may not be able to give it."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay," there was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then he said clearly word by word, "I want the woman named Qiao Qian's wife next to you.... Do you give? ”

“......”

"Why, can't you give it?"

"Brother Fu, you are really.... Grew up. Xing Yi smiled and said indifferently, "Even mine, you dare to ask for it." ”

"Xing Yi, as long as it's your stuff, I'll decide. Hahahaha! ”

He lowered his eyes and hung up the phone. Fu Zhiheng's laughter was close to madness, and then disappeared into the air.

"Knock Knock"

A knock on the door followed.

Xing Yi put down his phone and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"Come in."

The doorknob turned slightly, the door was gently pushed open, and Qiao Qianwen stepped into the room.

Although this room is not as large as the master bedroom, the furniture is simple and the color is black, white and gray, and the row of cold colors of Xing Yi's clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is more transparent.

"Next time you listen to someone call, remember to knock on the door later."

Xing Yi looked at her and smiled, "If you knock on the door as soon as someone hangs up the phone, it will make others think that you are eavesdropping at the door." ”

...... "It's only people like you who have insight into others all the time, right?" Qiao Qianwen muttered secretly in her heart.

"I did." She admits earnestly.

"Oh? Then you're not in a good habit. ”

"It's not good, I'll change it." She smiled slightly, and then asked, "But since I heard that, I still want to ask, who are you talking to?" ”

"You knocked on the door and came in, just to ask who I was just calling?" Xing Yi smiled and approached her, "Don't worry, I don't have any other women." ”

"Don't change your mind." Qiao Qianwen looked helpless. What reassures her? Is that what she meant?

"Since you took everyone's leave, the case has been stagnant, and you don't go out, are you continuing to investigate the case? The suspect hasn't moved for so long, aren't you in a hurry? ”

"No matter how anxious you are, the murderer won't jump out and be arrested."

After being speechless for a while, Qiao Qianfu asked again,

"Brother Fu on the phone just now is your informant, right?"

"Sort of." He said lightly, reaching for the warm coffee on the bedside table and sitting down on the black couch by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Listen to your tone, as if he was threatening you with something?" Qiao Qianwen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with her face raised.

"Did you notice one thing?"

"What?"

"Compared to when we had a marriage certificate, we are more like husband and wife now."

"Who is like a husband and wife with you..... Wasn't it good before? It's just a marriage letter, and it doesn't decide anything at all. ”

During the two-year marriage period agreed before, except for the acting of meeting their elders on weekends, they basically went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, right?

"I knew that when I got married, I should have done it."

He sat on the sofa, his slender legs crossed, his smiling eyes looking at her seriously, and the corners of his lips twitched with a hint of banter.

"Forensic Doctor Joe, as a colleague, I suggest that you wear more clothes at home in the future, after all, the two of us are lonely men and widows. Physically, I'm at the age of a wolf. ”

Qiao Qianwen instantly understood the true meaning of what he meant by "things". She looked down at her outfit, long wide pajama pants, and a silk vest.... How much more does she have to wear in the summer when it's so hot?

"I'm sorry, I'm just going to wear it." She met his smile, "If you dare to think a little bit differently, you are always welcome on my operating table." ”

The mobile phone rang, and Qiao Qianwen's heart was stunned, only to find that the topic had been deviated by him again. The phone screen showed a call from "Yu Meng", and she picked up the phone a little helplessly.

"Mengmeng, what's the matter?"

"Sister Qiao, watch the news quickly!"

A trace of doubt flashed in Qiao Qian's eyes, and she immediately hung up the phone and opened the news headlines that sprouted.

The headline of the famous murder case described a number of detailed details of the case, and the murderer was specifically described as a middle-aged man in his forties.

She has reduced her dependence on her mobile phone in a closed manner in the past few days, and now she opens her mobile phone only to find that major media software has made various news reports with this as the headline.

"Xing Yi...."

"What, the murderer is committing the crime again?"

She was about to hand him the phone, but she saw that Xing Yi seemed to know something in advance, and looked at her with a clear face.

"How do you know?"

"Don't you want to know what I've done?"

Xing Yi lowered his eyes and put down the empty coffee cup and stood up.

He looked indifferent, Qiao Qianwen sank slightly for a while, and a trace of conjecture flashed in her mind. During the investigation, Xing Yi obviously gave a death order to block all media channels...... Unless, these news were spread by Xing Yi himself.

"This news is your ....."

Over there, Xing Yi just glanced at her lightly and smiled meaningfully.

"Don't guess, let's go to the scene of the crime."
