Chapter 15: The Biggest Burden

Mu Zihan didn't answer my question immediately, but thought about it for a while before saying, "As far as the current information is concerned, I can't be sure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 There is so little information that is useful, and none of these four suspects can completely rule out suspicion. ”

"Four?" I asked, a little surprised, "Don't you think his mother can't rule out suspicion?" ”

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention a great mother, I really don't want to believe that there will be such a thing as a mother who wants to kill her own child. may be out of emotional instinctive rejection, anyway, I didn't position Chu Hengyu's mother as one of the suspects.

"Yes, although it will be a little unacceptable, but, as it turns out, she can't rule out suspicion. And even logically, she is more likely. Mu Zihan replied as a matter of course.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Because, if it is a mother who I haven't seen for many days and suddenly asks myself to meet, then everyone else can't wait to meet. This can explain why Chu Hengyu would have to rush home all the way when time was so urgent. Mu Zihan said: "Siyuan, the truth behind many cases may not always be accepted by us, but the truth is the truth, and it is not something that we can change if we don't accept it." ”

Although I still didn't want to doubt Chu Hengyu's mother, Mu Zihan also made sense, so I was speechless to refute, so I had to change the topic and change the atmosphere and say, "Then who do you think among the four suspects is most likely to be the murderer?" You must already have a guess in your mind. ”

It's a pity that if I originally wanted to change the topic, it seemed to have the effect of adding fuel to the fire, only to see Mu Zihan stand up from his seat angrily, look at me with a serious face and say, "No, I won't guess." ”

Seeing him so angry, I was so scared that I almost knocked over the teacup in my hand, thinking to myself that this guy had taken explosives today? The anger is so big, is it because of lack of sleep, so the mood is bad? Then it's better for me to talk less, so as not to become a punching bag for no reason.

However, if I didn't speak, it didn't mean that he was willing to stop there, but I just heard him say very seriously immediately afterward: "Siyuan, we are conducting a case investigation, not playing a guessing game. In the investigation of a case, it is a terrible mistake to make a rash guess without a factual basis as a reference, which will make people unconsciously use the facts to set their own inherent guesses. The correct way should be to use logical thinking to deduce the conclusion based on the facts obtained, and then see whether the conclusion can match the facts obtained. You have to keep this in mind and don't reverse the order. ”

Seeing that what he said was so serious, I quickly nodded in agreement, although I actually heard it a little foggy, and I didn't really understand what he meant, but I could only say that I barely understood a little, that is, you can't guess to solve the case.

Probably seeing that I was a little overwhelmed, Mu Zihan took a long breath, sat down again, and said to me in a relatively gentle tone: "Siyuan, it's not that I'm suddenly so strict with you, but I've been thinking about one thing. It is obviously impossible for you to go so deep into the case related to the 'butterfly' organization as you have now followed me, and then try to get you out of the case without special circumstances happening. ”

Just kidding, even if it was possible to pull out, I wouldn't want to. You've come this far, and you still want me to sit on the sidelines? This is impossible.

I don't know what kind of medicine Mu Zihan is selling in the gourd today, or if he took the wrong medicine at all, why did he mention this matter again, could it be because of the relationship that things have not gone well recently? Anyway, I wanted to see what he wanted to say, so I didn't speak, just nodded in response.

Seeing me nodding, he continued: "However, judging from the current situation, the other party has obviously become wary of us. Therefore, it is very likely that our next actions will be more difficult, and our lives will be in danger at any time. Even, when necessary, you and I have to go our separate ways. ”

Well, this is true, the current situation, it is indeed possible that we will not be able to act together all the time as before, but so what? I'm not a three-year-old and I need to be breastfed.

However, it was obviously impossible for Mu Zihan to see what I was thinking in my heart at the moment, so he saw that I didn't speak, so he continued: "So, during this time, you must grow up as quickly as possible, cultivate a mind that can think independently and calmly, and you can no longer rely on me for everything as before, and ask me questions if you have questions." ”

"I don't rely on you eitherβ€”" I couldn't take it anymore. Although I did make a decision in my heart that I must improve myself, I still felt uncomfortable being so naked by what he said, so I couldn't help but want to defend myself.

However, before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me: "Don't raise the bar with me, even if you don't rely on everything, the degree of dependence is more than 90 percent." Therefore, it is imperative that you develop your ability to act independently as soon as possible, without being able to do as much as possible. But at the very least, no matter how critical the situation, you can keep your mind clear and your head level to ensure your personal safety. Otherwise, how can you reassure me that you will be allowed to act alone? ”

I can understand this, because what he said is indeed reasonable, with the current situation that Uncle Wang and Chu Hengyu are hospitalized, and Lin Shixuan is under the control of the Discipline Inspection Commission, our next actions will indeed be more difficult, and it is indeed necessary for me to become independent quickly.

After all, I don't know who the police department will arrange to temporarily replace Uncle Wang in the future, anyway, no matter what, it is impossible to be as willing to support us as Uncle Wang and Chu Hengyu are. So, strictly speaking, we are now cut off from all support.

However, what he said next made me feel uncomfortable again.

I only heard him say: "To put it mildly, Siyuan, if you continue like this, you will become my biggest burden." And at that point, I will have to use extraordinary means to force you to get out of all investigations and actions in the case of the 'Butterfly' organization. ”

"I said Detective Muta, I don't deny that I am indeed incompetent, and sometimes I am a drag on you." Unconvinced, I retorted: "But, I would like to know, what are your extraordinary methods?" It's not that I underestimate you, with the current situation, even if you want to exclude me from action, I won't be so obedient. With the information and clues I have at hand, I can also take some action alone, although it may be just reckless and brute force, and it will do more harm than good to the case. ”
