Chapter 31: Ten Years Ago

Seeing that Lei Baoquan was a little excited, Li Bai and Jin Guo looked at each other, not knowing why Lei Baoquan's reaction was so big. Lei Baoquan also realized that he was a little excessive, rubbed his face and said: "I'm sorry, I was a little anxious just now, what I mean is that Sun Duo and they may be misled by the clue of the white cat, so they only suspect Xie Tao, so let's not talk about it for the time being, and tell them when we have investigated almost and confirmed it." ”

"Does this count as not knowing?" Li Bai asked.

"No, because we're also investigators, we just need to know." Lei Baoquan said, turned around and looked around, saw that there was no other abnormality, and said, "Let's go back first." ”

Li Bai looked at Jin Guo, who shrugged helplessly, saying that there was no way but to do so. The three of them were just about to go out when they heard a cat meowing from the bedroom.

Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo looked at Li Bai, Li Bai was stunned for a moment, understood what they meant, quickly turned around and filled a box full of cat food, slowly opened a small crack in the bedroom door, and pushed the cat food box in. Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Bai's hurried footsteps jumping towards the door, and Li Bai quickly closed the door.

"How does this feel like feeding tigers at a zoo," Li Bai said with self-deprecation.

The three of them walked out of Xie Tao's house, and at the same time took a long breath, as if relieved, and walked downstairs without saying a word.

"Hungry?" In the car, the three people didn't speak, and Lei Baoquan suddenly said.

"Hungry, but not appetiteless." Li Bai was a noisy eater every time, but the appearance of the white cat just now made him lose his appetite.

"Me too." Jin Guo said in the back.

Lei Baoquan sighed, turned the steering wheel, and said, "Then don't eat, go home and sleep." ”

The three of them returned home and went straight upstairs. When they returned to their respective rooms, they probably hadn't eased up, and no one said a word.

When Li Bai washed his face, Lei Baoquan sat on the sofa in a daze, as if he was thinking about something. This is a rare time for Li Bai to see this kind of picture, every time Lei Baoquan makes such a demeanor. It must all be on the mind.

"Uncle Lei, what's wrong with you?" Li Bai asked while wiping his face while sitting on the bed opposite Lei Baoquan.

Lei Baoquan shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

"No, you don't look like you're fine. And when you were at Xie Tao's house just now, I never saw you in such a hurry, and you were a little incoherent. Li Bai didn't believe it.

"Huh, huh?" Lei Baoquan smiled bitterly and said, "I was indeed a little anxious at the time. ”

"Why? There has to be a reason. Li Bai was curious.

Lei Baoquan scratched his head. With a bitter face, he said, "Help me get a cigarette." ”

Li Bai turned around and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, handed it to Lei Baoquan and helped him light it. Lei Baoquan took a puff and leaned back on the back of the sofa.

"About ten years ago," Lei Baoquan paused for a moment and said suddenly. As soon as Li Bai heard that he was going to tell a story, he listened seriously.

"At that time, I became the deputy captain, and the work efficiency was the highest, and the crime solving rate was the first in the city. That's why everyone jokingly calls me 'Detective'. I was quite conceited at the time, and I always thought that the clues I found out would definitely not be wrong. Until one time. The bureau arrested a young man in his twenties, and said at the time that he had killed a woman who lived next door to his house, and that it was the woman's husband who reported the crime. Lao Huang and I went to the scene to see it in person, whether it was from the evidence collection at the scene or the testimony of the woman's husband, the murderer was the young man. But the young man never admitted it. said that he was wronged, but when he was interrogated, he couldn't tell why. When Lei Baoquan said this, he sighed lightly again.

Li Bai listened attentively, and it wasn't until he was choked by Lei Baoquan's smoke that he came back to his senses and coughed twice. Keep listening.

Although the evidence was conclusive at that time, no one dared to confirm that the murderer was this young man. So everyone waited for my final conclusion, and I didn't think much about it at the time, I went to the scene to take a look, and based on my previous experience, I decided that the murderer was the young man. Lei Baoquan closed his eyes wistfully.

"And then?" Li Bai asked.

"Two or three months later, the matter was completely investigated, and it turned out that it was the woman's husband who killed the murderer, and he directed such a scene of a thief shouting to catch a thief in order to blame the young man." Lei Baoquan shook his head and said.

"Was the lad let go?" Li Bai asked.

Fortunately, he was in custody at the time, and he was lucky to save his life. But letting him go didn't help, it hit him too hard, and then I heard that he had mental problems, and then there was no news of him. Lei Baoquan had indescribable guilt in his words.

Li Bai suddenly realized, it turned out that Lei Baoquan was so excited before, and there was a reason why he cared so much that Xie Tao would be misunderstood, and this reason was also a scar for Lei Baoquan for a long time.

"Uncle Lei, it's all over, don't blame yourself, everyone makes mistakes, even if it's a policeman, who can guarantee that he will always be sharp-eyed and catch a quasi-child?" Li Bai comforted.

"There are some things that can't be passed and can't be made up, so it's a pity. I especially regret that if I could have calmed down, analyzed it seriously, and not been conceited enough to know everything as if I were in my chest, would this person's life have changed because of this? The more Lei Baoquan thought about it, the more sad he felt, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Seeing this, Li Bai hurriedly took out a tissue and said, "Uncle Lei, you see that you are always so emotional, this is not good, it hurts your body!" ”

Lei Baoquan looked at Li Bai, who handed him a tissue, and said suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

"Wipe your paper, aren't you crying?" Lei Baoquan replied.

"Where am I crying? It's the eyelashes that fall out of the eye. Lei Baoquan said and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Li Bai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, he understood Lei Baoquan, such a man didn't want others to see his weak side, even if he pretended to be strong.

"Okay, then I'll blow your eyes for you." Li Bai said.

"Huh? Why are you blowing so hard? Your eyes are going to blow you out, huh? Isn't it? You kid"

As the night deepened, Lei Baoquan and Li Bai fought for a while, and then fell asleep.

Lei Baoquan was lying on the bed, his mind kept flashing the picture of the young man at the beginning, although it had been so long, but he had not forgotten that this person who had become unfortunate because of himself was precisely because of this, he would be more attentive in the next ten years, and work harder to help restore the truth of each case, not to let a bad guy slip through the net, and not let a good person be wronged.

Li Bai on the other side, hiding in the quilt, held his mobile phone and typed the message, which read: Do you know? Today we saw a big white cat, very large, the size of a chair" and the contact person above the message reads: Wenwen. (To be continued......)
