Chapter 57: Danger is Imminent
Xiao Jingchen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Your skills are too bad. β
He Mingbo: "......" opened his mouth, he jumped over Xiao Jingchen, and said to Bai Xijing dryly, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, in fact, I'm just curious about this little ...... (Is it a boy or a girl?) οΌβ¦β¦ How did the dragon man shoot a snowball the size of a ping-pong ball with bullet-like lethality, because in a recent homicide, the murderer's modus operandi was somewhat similar to this. β
"You suspect my daughter of being a murderer??" Bai Xijing narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his voice was pressed to the lowest, as beautiful as a cello, but the danger in that timbre could be heard as long as anyone had ears.
"No, no, you misunderstood, how can such a young child be a murderer, it's just that this case is too special and incredible, I can only do everything I can to find a breakthrough, I hope you can understand."
He Mingbo's attitude was very upright, and his words were very polite, but Bai Xijing didn't buy it, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, I warn you, stay away from my daughter, if you let me know that you are following her or what......" The sharp phoenix eyes instantly dimmed, as if it was an abyss hell that could engulf people's souls, "...... I'm going to make you disappear from S City, and I'm sure no one will know where you're going. β
He Mingbo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body instinctively tightened, as if every inch of muscle was petrified, showing the most perfect defensive state, until Bai Xijing walked out a few steps, He Mingbo finally regained the sensory function of his body, a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead, for a moment, he really believed that Bai Xijing would kill him, silently make him disappear from this world, but ......
Thinking about the colleagues who worked overtime day and night, thinking about the victims who could never go home for the New Year, thinking about the almost exhausted tears of the parents who lost their daughters, He Mingbo gritted his teeth and still chased after him, he stood straight in front of Bai Xijing, and when Bai Xijing squinted his eyes dangerously again, he said stiffly, "In the past twenty-eight days, there have been a total of eight victims in S City, all of them are sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, high school students, from the case to the present, my colleagues and I in our group have not gone home for twenty days, Even yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve, we are eating instant noodles and drinking mineral water to find all possible clues, I say this, not to flaunt how hard we work and how dedicated, I just want those flower season girls to be blind, want their parents to be able to bring their daughters home as soon as possible to reunite, Mr. Bai, you are also a father, you also have children, I hope you can understand the feelings of those parents a little, please, I just want to ask this child a few questions! β
According to the rules, any clues related to the case should not be disclosed to outsiders, but He Mingbo really has no choice, this case has been stuck for so many days, if he doesn't find a way to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, he is afraid that there will be new victims, and Bai Xijing's identity is not a complete outsider, after all, he has a father who is famous in the legal world.
According to the law, every citizen has the obligation to assist the police in handling the case, but He Mingbo did not use this to force Bai Xijing, mainly because Xiao Jingchen is too young, if he can't let the child's father willingly assist in handling the case, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything useful from the child's mouth.
Bai Xijing wanted to kick He Mingbo away directly, but looking at his pleading eyes, he hesitated, if it was a month ago, he would definitely sneer and turn around and leave, but now ......, he has been a father for a month, and he understands the feeling of a father who loves his daughter!
Looking sideways at Xiao Jingchen, who was full of ignorance, Bai Xijing hesitated for a while, then turned his head and said to He Mingbo, "What do you want to ask?" β
He Mingbo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Actually, we already have a few suspects, but because the murder method is too unbelievable, and we have no conclusive evidence, we can't determine who the real murderer is, let alone arrest him, I want to ask for your ...... (Anyway, this cheating daddy's dragon robe baby is really a girl?? οΌβ¦β¦ The child goes and tries to see if he can identify the real murderer. β
"How do you try?"
"This ......" He Mingbo stammered suddenly, his eyes flickered a little, compared with the gushing appearance before, it was completely like a different person, as if he had encountered a very unspeakable thing.
Bai Xijing narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart that had just softened a little bit was immediately as cold and hard as steel, and his voice was calm and his tone was undulating, "My daughter is not a witness, how can she help you identify the murderer, unless you want to make a fuss about the murder weapon, but it is impossible to determine who the murderer is based on the murder weapon alone, otherwise with the high technology you are handling the case now, you can close the case a long time ago, why wait until now, exclude the murder weapon, which is a direct crime, There is only one thing that can identify the murderer and need my daughter to help you identify - the scar caused by the murder weapon that she threw a small snowball to have a similar effect, ...... the wound must be on the deceased!! β
The air pressure around him decreased instantly, and Bai Xijing's body was surging with cold evil qi, which could almost freeze people into popsicles like a blizzard, he glared at He Mingbo, gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter is only five years old, you actually want a five-year-old girl to face the cold corpse to help you find the murderer, are you a policeman who kills violence and peace, or an executioner who murders the innocence of children??" β
He Mingbo was speechless and ashamed to ask a five-year-old child to find the murderer, which is basically saying that they are very incompetent, if he is not really desperate, he would not even have such thoughts.
In fact, when he sat on the chair and watched Xiao Jingchen throw snowballs, He Mingbo wanted to come forward and ask for a moment, but he couldn't help it, seeing the children having a snowball fight so happily, he had decided to give up looking for clues from here, Bai Xijing was right, he couldn't be an executioner who murdered an innocent child, a child who was only five years old faced with a cold corpse would definitely have a psychological shadow, and even ruin her life, in fact, he was ready to leave, he didn't expect Dashan Xiaoshan to go over and question him face to face, When he saw that the child's father turned out to be the Bai family, the flame of hope in his heart burned again, perhaps......
The children of the Bai family are different!!
Bai Xijing's refusal seemed reasonable, and it was not beyond expectations, He Mingbo pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, and said bitterly, "I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous." He didn't even have the courage to look Xiao Jingchen in the eyes, so he put on his hat and fled.
Bai Xijing pressed his anger back to the bottom of his heart, the Chinese New Year can't affect the mood of the whole family, so when he returned home, the three big and three small didn't seem to have anything wrong, they should still laugh and make trouble, and the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people began to come to the door one after another to pay New Year's greetings, although Grandpa Bai has retired, but Yu Wei is still there, and many people in the judicial department are his protΓ©gΓ©s, plus Bai Lejing, Bai Yijing, Bai Youjing's three eight-sided exquisite style, the popularity is really good.
The entire Bai family was beaming, and Grandma Bai's mouth never closed, until the sixth day of the new year, a phone call caused a family hurricane.
