Su Xiaozhe came to work the next day with gauze on his nose, and along the way, he couldn't help but think of Bai Ling's appearance when he saw him in the hospital last night. If Su Xiaozhe hadn't stopped him, Bai Ling would have almost fought with his accompanying criminal police colleagues.

"Look at what you see at the scene! ****** you can't see anyone in the closet? Bai Ling grabbed the collar and started scolding. This is still in front of the hospital and outsiders.

Looking at the way his angry neck burst with muscles, Su Xiaozhe suddenly understood why his contract was shelved and why Sister Xun stopped abruptly. The relationship between the two of them cannot stand in the sun, and it would be good to say if they went to work in two separate places, but the two are so close, and the nature of the work must face injury and even death at any time, no one can guarantee what will happen after the pressure of work and relationship. Not to mention the considerations of colleagues and superiors around me, those casual glances and whispered discussions......

At that moment, the mood that was originally moved by Bai Ling's reaction suddenly turned into sadness. Su Xiaozhe understood that his slight wish to commute to work with Bai Ling was in vain.

Thinking about this, the injured nose is particularly uncomfortable, and it makes people want to tear off the gauze and step on the ground a few times...... Just as he was thinking about it, Su Xiaozhe heard a conversation coming from Sister Xun's office at the end of the corridor.

Zheng Longhao only heard about the wardrobe this morning, although the people at the meeting had already reported the situation, but Zheng Longhao still felt that something was wrong.

"The people who were at the scene yesterday said that the preliminary judgment was that the guy hiding inside was a man?"

Xun Keran also kept thinking about this last night, "You didn't even see a figure in the end?" ”

"I chased out and scattered a few roads, but I didn't see any shadow, but according to the accounts of the old people sitting on the side of the road around me, there was indeed a man dressed in gray who ran quickly and fled to the main road. Not tall, but burly, the old people think it should be a man. ”

"I also think it's a man, women rarely have such a strong explosive power, and the moment they opened the wardrobe, they injured an adult man like Su Xiaozhe so badly with one punch."

"Su Xiaozhe is the newcomer you brought? How's the injury? ”

"Colorful, thank you for your concern." Speaking of which, Coco is still a little angry. After all, all of this was the result of the negligence of the police who first arrived at the scene, but it was not enough to say how serious the matter was, just thinking that every move of his own people had been spied on by that guy in the dark for a long time, it made people feel depressed.

Zheng Longhao has been a policeman for so many years, of course, he can distinguish the hidden meaning in the other party's tone, "I know that the people on our side are not good, I came today to apologize, isn't it just talking and forgetting." ”

Xun Keran showed a huge social smile, hehehehe, Captain Zheng looked at how polite you said.

Captain Zheng also echoed the bright smile, hehehehe, don't mind, Mr. Xun.

I'm sorry, I mind Captain Zheng, are you okay, please help me close the door from the outside. Xun Keran withdrew his smile for a second.

Eh, don't you, I'm not joking, Zheng Longhao flattered, "I'm really here to ask for clues, that Su Xiaozhe didn't come to work today?" He opened the closet and saw the other party's face. ”

The same question, of course, Xun Keran had already asked yesterday, "No, the other party is very fast, when he opened the wardrobe unguarded, he suddenly punched his face, he didn't see anything clearly, and when he fell to the ground, he saw a figure running quickly to the side, jumping out of the window and leaving." ”

"So......" Captain Zheng touched the beard on his chin, "This guy may also be the guy who killed people in the subway station?" ”

In fact, this kind of speculation is also what Coco thinks, the murderer is likely to be Qian Zixuan's lover or "former lover", when Qian Zixuan started dating other men, the murderer could no longer restrain himself, and was so rampant that he killed Zhou Wenyong in full view of everyone in the subway station.

"That's hiding in the closet of Qian Zixuan's house...... Do you want to do it too? ”

"But he didn't kill Su Xiaozhe." What Coco said was the truth and the doubt, "It means that this guy didn't bring a knife?" Isn't it more complete to stab the opponent to death with a knife than to smash it with a punch? ”

"If you see blood, it's hard to track it down."

"That's right...... Or, it's not the murderer in the closet, it's Qian Zixuan? ”

"Why? Even if you're afraid of the murderer, there's nothing to hide when you see the police coming in, right? ”

Xun Keran tilted his head sideways and thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, but these reasonings were actually not within the scope of his work, and what he should think about was evidence, for example, was there any hair or fingerprints left in the closet......

"Eh, I want to ask you something." Captain Zheng put on a serious face, "Your Su Xiaozhe and Bai Ling of the first team of the criminal police can't really be ...... That's it, right? ”

Walk slowly, don't send. Xun Keran didn't even bother to say perfunctory this time.

Zheng Longhao touched his nose, but he was not angry. It stands to reason that Xun Keran and him are just ordinary colleagues, and such direct sarcasm and rejection are always inappropriate, but Zheng Longhao has also heard more than once about the perverseness and tenacity of this female forensic doctor, so in the end, he just laughed, and the gossip failed, let's go. Unexpectedly, before he turned around and walked out of the door, he heard the person behind him say again.

"Team Zheng, I heard that you are the best man in the whole team."

Zheng Longhao turned around and smiled embarrassedly.

"I also heard that your wife is from another province and is not worthy of you at all."

The expression that was still smiling just now instantly stiffened, Zheng Longhao frowned slightly, and looked at the person in front of the table. Xun Keran just lowered his head to look at the report paper in his hand, and it took several seconds before he looked up and looked at him. There was no mockery in his eyes, just a straight look back at him, not shying away from his anger.

So Zheng Longhao instantly understood that Xun Keran was telling himself in a similar way how she felt just now.

The world is so big, whose feelings no one is talking about behind their backs? Who is qualified to stand there triumphantly, commenting on the happiness and orness of others?

Xun Keran saw a clear smile appear on Team Zheng's soothing face, and he silently let out a smile. But the silent tacit understanding between the two didn't last two seconds, and it came to an abrupt end when Zheng Longhao opened the door.

Su Xiaozhe was standing outside the door.

The young boy, with his head bowed, said nothing, quietly turned around and walked down the corridor into the coroner's room, which was not far away. He didn't look up at anyone the whole time.

Zheng Longhao suddenly felt a burst of guilt, he had no malice, but the criminal police were habitually curious, wanting to verify the occupational diseases he had heard and seen. Unexpectedly, it became an embarrassing situation at the moment. He turned his head at a loss, only to see that Xun Keran had simply sat down, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"If you really can't get by, help find out which link the child's labor contract is stuck in." Coco's voice crept into Team Zheng's ears.

――――――――――――――

That night, the onlookers dissipated with the sunset, and the lights quietly lit up in Qian Zixuan's rented house.

Bai Ling greeted the colleague on duty and walked into this simple one-room apartment. He had heard about all the relevant things, and he also knew that the forensic doctors had come to check the physical evidence, to tell the truth, everyone felt that there was nothing to check here, but with a trace of luck, he came to Qian Zixuan's house at the moment when he could go home to rest.

If, just in case, what clues can be found, as a condition for meritorious service, is there a little position to ask the leader for mercy and leave Su Xiaozhe behind. didn't expect such a faint hope like candlelight, but otherwise, Bai Ling couldn't think of any way to help Xiaozhe. Xue Yang heard the wind and revealed that it was already a brotherhood for him, and he couldn't expect help from the sky in everything.

Before getting off work, Bai Ling also specially asked Wang Aiguo about something, according to the computer found from Qian Zixuan's house, there are not many records, and the mobile phone number she registered in the company is almost except for telecom fraud and advertising calls, and there are only a few phone numbers to contact colleagues in the company. Among the phones that Wang Aiguo swiped one by one, the only unknown call was from a foreign trade clothing company, and it was after the end of work at 7 o'clock in the evening, often only 26 seconds.

Bai Ling sat on the small sofa next to the dining table without any scruples and thought about it, she didn't feel anything when she heard Wang Aiguo say it just now, but now that she thinks about it, this phone call is really interesting. At 7 o'clock in the night, the advertising harassment calls are almost all gone, and after dinner, the most common ones who speak at this time are relatives and close friends.

It is said that Qian Zixuan is a regular and boring person, arriving at the company at 9 o'clock every day and leaving at 5:30 o'clock, almost every second. Neighbors also said that they often heard her coming home at half past six to open the door, almost as accurate as the alarm clock. At 7 o'clock, she was already at home...... Bai Ling looked around, what would Qian Zixuan be doing, suppose she was eating, watching TV, and then her mobile phone rang...... Is it a phone number that you know or you don't know? …… I don't know! From the records found by Wang Aiguo, she did not refuse to answer all kinds of calls, in short, she answered it for twenty seconds......

Bai Ling thought about it, patted her head and called her parents' house, casually found a reason to say a few simple words, hung up the phone and pinched the watch to look at the time, one minute and forty seconds. So...... You can't say a few words in 20 seconds, but if it's just a strange call that you make by mistake, you can hang up in a few seconds, what does this awkward call time mean?

Or, the call was dropped? For example, the other party hangs up in a hurry, or Qian Zixuan says to wait and call back...... Thinking of this, Bai Ling suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, he got up and walked around the room twice, noticing one thing.

There are no landline telephones in the whole house.

If Qian Zixuan received a call from an acquaintance, but she quickly decided to wait and call back...... Why wait and call back?

Bai Ling walked around in place several times, he really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, he scratched his head in a tangled way, and finally decided to admit it, and took out his mobile phone to call Xue Yang.

"The phone you made is turned off."

Eggs! turned off the phone at such a time, and Bai Ling, who failed to seek off-site assistance, unwillingly flipped through the address book, and then dialed Su Xiaozhe's phone......

I listened to the bell twice from beginning to end, but still no one answered.

So when the call to Xu Wanli was picked up, Bai Ling was already moved to tears, "Sister Xu...... Dear Xiao Xu. ”

"Comrade Bai Ling, why are you crying like a good man? Eh, Su Xiaozhe abandoned you? "Xiao Xu's gossip heart is known to the world.

"Phew, how can Xiaozhe be willing!"

"Then what else do you have to do, goodbye, I can finally get some sleep."

"Wait, big sister, big beautiful sister! Let me ask you, have you girls ever received a phone call, and then as soon as you heard the other person's voice, you immediately wanted to hang up, and wait for another talk? ”

"Yes, like now." Xu Wanli replied without hesitation.

"Seriously, you just wanted to hang up the phone to me, and you didn't want to wait until the broadcast was back."

"How do you know he's back, maybe just hang up?"

"The number of this caller has not been called a second time, which means that everything that should be said has been said, but the call time is only 20 seconds, which is not enough."

"Oh, that means I answered the phone...... It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't, right? Phone tapped? ”

Xu Wanli's words were like a light bulb that suddenly lit up, Bai Ling turned her head to see the three locks at the door, Qian Zixuan's excessive precautions, suspicious characters hiding in the closet, and things that couldn't be said with her mobile phone......

"Xiao Xu, Xu Wanli, you are really an angel!" Bai Ling hung up the phone without saying anything, and then rushed out the door, calling Wang Aiguo's phone as he ran, "Little prince, help me find out where there is a public phone booth near Qian Zixuan's apartment immediately?" Where is the closest? ”

Wang Aiguo's sleepy-eyed voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ah, good, good, the phone, the kiosk, right......"

Bai Ling's thinking is very simple, Qian Zixuan is not worried about anything, whether it is the door lock or her mobile phone, so when she received a call that she wanted to talk but did not dare, she immediately told the other party to wait and call, but there was no landline phone at home, and the easiest thing was to find a nearby phone booth and dial it again.

Following Wang Aiguo's instructions, Bai Ling only walked for five minutes to reach the nearest street phone booth, "I saw that there was a monitoring probe at the intersection next to me, you can help me check, when the 20-second phone call came in, did Qian Zixuan come to this phone booth?" ”

Wang Aiguo on the other end of the call was just muttering something, but Bai Ling clearly heard the sound of him tapping the keyboard quickly. The time of silent waiting seemed so long, Bai Ling, who was standing on the side of the street, completely forgot everything else, and subconsciously clasped his nose until Wang Aiguo's clear voice came.

"It's her!"

The excited Bai Ling made a gesture of closing her fist in celebration, and Qian Zixuan's ulterior phone call was likely to point to someone who knew her true secret. Bai Ling, in the cold wind of the night, felt the hope of the weak candlelight, and became brighter.

But what he didn't know was that at the same moment, Su Xiaozhe walked through the quiet and uninhabited office corridor and left a letter of resignation in front of Xun Keran's desk.
