July 4, 10:40 AM

The police and medical examiners soon arrived.

Su Xi and the waitress were arranged to wait for questioning in the foyer on the first floor of the tea house as witnesses to the scene.

Wei Ruhai, the bald owner of the tea house, looked gloomy. Five months ago, his tea house was involved in a drug trafficking case, and the drug dealers involved in the case ran away through the back door. And this time, it was another woman I didn't know, and she actually died here.

"Unlucky!" Wei Ruhai was so angry that he kept slapping the table and scolding the waiter, but as soon as the police came, he immediately changed his face and smiled back and forth.

There was a crowd of people watching the excitement at the entrance of the tea house, and there were two police officers from the police station outside to help maintain order.

A young girl hurriedly approached, showed her ID to the police, and the police nodded and let her in.

She is a newcomer in the criminal investigation team, at least Su Xi has not seen it, and she should have only come to the criminal police team in the past month. She was tall, white, with dark eyes, and on her cheeks the blush peculiar to a healthy girl of youth.

When she walked in, the first thing she did was to take a photo with her mobile phone, I don't know if it was the first time to participate in the homicide investigation, and there was irrepressible excitement in her eyes.

"Qianjiang, stop shooting, Team Zhang is here."

A middle-aged man who was not good-looking came down the stairs, and as soon as he saw the newcomer policewoman, he greeted her: "Call Xiao Nie again, why haven't you come yet?" ”

The person who spoke was Deng Ming. Fifty-five years old. Jiang is still old and spicy, don't look at him laughing all day long haha, his professional sense of smell is more sensitive than anyone else.

Behind Deng Ming is Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang's nickname is Bald Qiang, and he is as his name suggests.

Both of them are experienced and backbone detectives of the Interpol team.

Su Xi's heart was pounding.

She saw another man coming down the stairs.

Medium height, square face, black face, a pair of eyes that are not angry and arrogant, wearing a dark gray polo shirt. As soon as his face tensed, everyone straightened up. Especially Qianjiang, she raised her head and stood upright, looking at his expression like a primary school student on the first day of school looking at the principal on the flag-raising platform.

Zhang Weize, the captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Corps.

This tea house is only two stops away from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the police officers who arrived at the scene came directly from the Criminal Investigation Corps, and they responded quickly, which should be an unexpected gain, and everything is developing in a smooth direction.

Let's hope.

Su Xi pursed her lips. She doesn't need to deliberately play, just relax her nerves a little, the out-of-control trembling hands and the gray face she sees in the mirror are already indicating the identity of the character she plays: a woman who is not deeply involved in the world and panics.

"The body you found?"

Deng Ming and Lin Qiang went to the owner of the tea house to find out the situation, while Zhang Wei took the newcomer Qianjiang to record a confession for the eyewitnesses, Su Xi and the waitress.

Qianjiang stood beside Zhang Weize, looking more nervous than Su Xi and Wang Yan, she held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, her face tensed, and she stood straight.

The waitress who found the body was called Wang Yan, she glanced at Zhang Weize, who had a dark and calm face, and suddenly cried, crying so much that she had a handful of snot and tears. Zhang Wei glanced at Qianjiang, and Qianjiang immediately ran away, asked for a pack of tissues from other waiters, and handed it to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan wiped her tears and snot with a tissue, still sobbing and sobbing.

Zhang Wei cleared his throat impatiently, and his gaze fell on Su Xi, who was relatively emotionally stable: "What do you see?" ”

Su Xi carefully grasped the proportions of his speech, the pitch of his voice, and the urgency of his emotions.

In front of Zhang Weize, who has experienced a hundred battles and is as wise as a torch, even his subordinate Qianjiang in one of the trenches is so frightened, not to mention that she has a ghost in her heart.

It's like a fox that has fallen into a trap, trying to convince the hunter to let him go.

Absurd and pathetic.

Su Xi said his testimony in a trembling voice: I made an appointment to meet at this tea house, and I came early, so I went to the bathroom first......

Zhang Wei listened to Su Xi while occasionally asking the waitress Wang Yan a word or two, and soon, he figured out what had happened.

“…… The deceased came after ten o'clock, you took her to the 204 private room, went in and ordered, and then at a quarter past ten, you came......" He looked at Su Xi, "What's your name?" ”

Su Xi did not hesitate, "Su Xi, the awakened Su, the stream of the stream." ”

She can't hesitate, the witness has to leave the ID number, she can't tell the kind of lie that will be exposed at once, especially in front of the police.

While listening, Qianjiang took notes without raising his head.

"You came at 10:15, you made an appointment with someone, which one did you make an appointment?"

"This is it, 205."

Zhang Wei looked at Wang Yan, "You brought them in?" ”

"I brought in the dead woman." Wang Yan looked at Su Xi with a sob, "She said that she made an appointment and walked in by herself." ”

Zhang Wei turned to Su Xi, "After you went in, you found that no one came, you want to go to the bathroom first, and when you open the door, you find that the door of 204 on the opposite side is open, so you go in?" ”

According to her assumption, she should have replied that she saw the feet of the deceased lying on the ground, and at the moment she spoke, she subconsciously looked up at the door...... Worst!

She was so flustered that she noticed that unlike the 205 room, the door of the 204 room was open to the left, and the dead man lying next to the sofa on the right could not be seen from the corridor.

"Yes." Her mind raced, and she nodded without hesitation.

"Isn't the bathroom on your right?"

Zhang Wei looked back at the van.

"Well, I heard the movement and thought it was strange, so I took a look at ......"

"What kind of movement?" Zhang Wei asked.

Su Xi closed his eyes, raised his hand and touched the black glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, as if recalling: "Well, it's a vague voice, like a cry for help...... When I looked over, I saw her lying on the ground, her neck covered in blood, and her eyes open......"

Su Xi couldn't go on, hugged the white shirt in his arms with both hands, and shivered.

From the time Su Xi took off her shirt in the box to now, she hasn't put it on again - inside the shirt is a hemp gray V-neck T-shirt. The T-shirt is a slim fit that clings to Su Xi's slender waist.

Zhang Wei asked again: "Blurred voice?" How is it? ”

Su Xi thought for a while: "Hehehe's voice...... Hmm, it's like the sound of cold air coming out when the air conditioner is broken. ”

"Can a person who has cut his throat still make a sound?"

Chie whispered to himself on the side.

Zhang Wei didn't speak, looking at Su Xi.

Su Xi remained silent.

She hoped that the victim's voice for help would not be a mistake.

Zhang Wei was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then, did she speak?" ”

Su Xi took a breath, and she trembled even more: "No." I was so frightened that I tried to help her cover her wounds, so I took off my shirt, but before I could touch her, she was silent...... And then she came. ”

Su Xi glanced at the waiter Wang Yan, and then lowered his eyelids slightly.

"Have you ever seen the dead before?"

The waiter Wang Yan shook his head: "I haven't seen it, it's not a regular customer." ”

Su Xi also shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

Zhang Wei sorted out the information he had gotten: "Two waiters started cleaning in the hall at 10 o'clock, arranging tables and chairs, and at 10:05, the victim came, and when he came, he was taken to the box by a waiter; At 10:15, Su Xi walked from the corridor to the box by himself; Then, at about 10:20, the tea ordered by the victim was ready, and when the waiter went to deliver the tea, he found Su Xi in the victim's box, and the victim fell on the floor, covered in blood......"

Su Xi and Wang Yan both nodded.

The timeline is clear.

Su Xi thought that they must have thought of the same thing: the only entrance to the front door bar was that there had been people since the victim came, and if the murderer was not the victim, then the murderer should have infiltrated before the victim came, and left before Su Xi came.

Coming and going without a trace, coupled with the neat way of cutting the throat - this is a master.

The forensic doctor had the preliminary autopsy results and asked Zhang Wei to report it. Zhang Wei nodded at Qianjiang: "The testimony just now has been recorded?" ”

"Alright, Team Zhang."

"Wait a while, Lao Deng will come, let Lao Deng take a look again, why hasn't Xiao Nie come yet?"

Qianjiang's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and she was submissive and did not answer.

Zhang Wei snorted unhappily.

After Zhang Wei followed the forensic team into Box 204, Qianjiang's tense body relaxed. She used her hand as a fan, fanning herself and blowing in her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, she stopped again, her eyes staring out the door.

Su Xi looked over and it was Nie Yu, who was walking in slowly from outside.

Nie Yu is medium-sized, lean, and on such a hot day, the black shirt buttons are buttoned all the way to his throat, and everyone is wiping a handful of sweat from time to time, as if he has just come out of the freezer, and there is cold air all around him.

The last time Su Xi saw Nie Yu was more than three months ago, when his hand was injured during the arrest operation and was still wearing bandages. Maybe it was because of the light, Su Xi felt that his cold face was even more gloomy.

Her hands trembled unconsciously, and she took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure, hiding one hand behind her satchel and the other diagonally into the pocket of her narrow skirt.

Her fingers touched a small piece of cardboard in the pocket of her skirt.

It was the half-written bloody receipt she had picked up at the scene of the murder.

"Oh, Brother Nie, why did you come!" Qianjiang hurriedly stepped up, handed the record book in his hand to Nie Yu, and whispered, "Team Zhang asked you just now, and he was not happy." ”

Nie Yu didn't say anything, took the record book, and looked at it carefully line by line, as if he couldn't read, Qianjiang coughed and stomped his feet next to him: "Brother Nie, you wait and see, go and say hello to Team Zhang first." ”

Nie Yu was unmoved.

Su Xi felt for a moment that time had just stopped.

It wasn't until Nie Yu finally raised his head and faced Su Xi: "The person you dated was late for a long time, right?" ”

Su Xi's heart sank.

She immediately lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "I thought he wouldn't come." We broke up, and he said there was no need to see each other again. ”

This kind of vulgar love story, calm and sharp as Nie Yu, will you believe it?

But Qianjiang, who was standing on the side, obviously believed it, and she looked at Su Xi sympathetically: "Did you break up because of violence?" ”

Su Xi subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed the frame of his glasses. She thought that the bruises were not very obvious anymore, not to mention that she also wore light makeup to cover it up.

Sure enough, women's eyes, in this aspect, are the most keen.

Nie Yu also looked at Su Xi's face carefully: "Do you want to report the case?" ”

The new Anti-Domestic Violence Law requires the police to collect evidence and file the case as soon as they receive the police. All of them have just taken a training course.

Su Xi gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "We broke up." ”

Unlike Qianjiang's confusion and heartache, Nie Yu looked at the record again without any reaction, and then handed it to Qianjiang: "Let them look at the record, sign it, and go." ”

"Oh, okay."

Qianjiang handed the record book to the waiter Wang Yan first.

Watching Wang Yan write his name one by one, Su Xi's breathing suddenly tightened.

Can you go?

How can that work!

She thought that all the witnesses to the murder would be brought back to the police station...... Who knew that she would have to let them go here, which was completely different from her plan...... No, she didn't plan at all.

The moment she saw the corpse, her plan had become a waste of paper.

Su Xi turned her head in a panic, she was eager to find something, something she didn't know, but maybe it would make her go to the Public Security Bureau......

The waiter Wang Yan has already signed his name.

Qianjiang handed the notebook to Su Xi: "By the way, leave your phone number and ID number, and we may find you to verify the situation." ”

Su Xi trembled and stretched out his hand...... No, you can't hold a pen, you can't sign, at least not yet......

It seems that everything has become a slow motion of the movie, she seems to have the ability to change time, and in an instant she saw the Adam's apple sliding up and down when Nie Yu spoke, saw the notebook and pen handed over by Qianjiang, saw the sweat drops on the sideburns of the waiter Wang Yan, saw the coffee stains on the sofa, saw the threads on the heavy curtains by the window, and saw the forensic team carrying the body of the deceased out on the opposite side......

God, please help me!
