"Professor Li doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, does he?" Before I could react from Wang Xin's words, he asked me again.

I nodded, let Wang Xin have something to say, I don't like to beat around the bush.

"Back then, Professor Li asked friends from all over the country to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the 330 bus for you, as well as the hastily concluded serial murder case of the woman in red in G City, these are all cases that Professor Li cares about, right?" Wang Xin said with a smile: "Professor Li doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't believe in either, but can create such a big case of people or groups, is Professor Li really sure to deal with it alone?" ”

I have to say that Wang Xin is very well-informed, and there are many people who know about these two cases, but few know so clearly. Wang Xin's question stopped me, whether it was the 330 case or the woman in red case, it completely stumped me, and I even felt that I was being played by the murderer.

"Jiang Jun, this child, although his head is not good, and his personality is not very calm, but he is willing to learn, the important thing is to ......" The smile on Wang Xin's face was meaningful, Wang Xin was not malicious, but I had a feeling that he was determined, until this moment, I knew that the people's hearts accumulated over the years were not something I could deal with my self-righteous reason. Wang Xin paused: "Professor Li must not have seen Jiang Jun's skills, believe me, whether it is for you or for the girlfriend you care about, Jiang Jun will be of great help." ”

I finished speaking, Wang Xin actually pulled Xu Yi, I turned my head to look at Xu Yi, she was also staring at me, the meaning in her eyes was very clear, she let me make my own decision. I have to say that I was moved by Wang Xin's words, even if I don't know how Jiang Jun helped me.

"Professor Li, in this case, why don't we make a bet?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Wang Xin spoke again.

Wang Xin didn't wait for me to answer, and then said his plan. He wanted to make an agreement with me that if I could catch the murderer within the time he made the "military order", everything he said would be null and void, but if the time passed, I had no way to catch the murderer, so I had to let Jiang Jun follow me.

Once Jiang Jun follows me, he will definitely no longer be a criminal policeman, but my academic assistant. Wang Xin told me that the police are just an identity, and as long as they do the same thing, Jiang Jun will agree, and I don't need to worry about this. Wang Xin obviously wanted Jiang Jun to follow me, that is, he concluded that I would not be able to catch the murderer in the remaining six days.

"Why should I make this bet with you, I solved the case, just to give justice to the victim." I took a deep breath and said.

Wang Xin: "You don't have to refuse in a hurry, the time has not yet come, I believe you will definitely agree." After Wang Xin finished speaking, he stuffed his resignation application into his pocket, and before leaving the office, he nodded to Xu Yi, which was regarded as a greeting.

I stood for a long time, and I saw four words in Wang Xin's back: strategizing.

Xu Yi walked up to me, and she said that she couldn't figure out why Wang Xin said that he couldn't go down this road. I can't figure this out either, I don't know much about Wang Xin, and if he doesn't say it, I may never have a way to know.

Xu Yi asked me if I would accept this bet, I thought about it carefully, but still shook my head, I don't want to solve the case as a bet between private people.

The time is getting later and later, everyone has not gone home, for Wang Xin, the captain, everyone loves it very much, and no one wants Wang Xin to resign, so everyone stayed up all night and had no complaints at all. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Jun finally brought Zhou Guang's family. Zhou Guang was about the same age as Zhou Sheng, and he shook hands with us one by one and said that we should ask if we had anything.

Zhou Guang's child is called Zhou Xiaoyu, two months younger than Zhou Xiaoruo, and after inquiry, he learned that the day Zhou Xiaoruo's body was found happened to be Zhou Xiaoyu's fourteenth birthday. When they said this, Zhou Guang and his wife cried together, they never thought that Zhou Xiaoruo would encounter such a thing.

"How is Zhou Xiaoruo's relationship with your family?" I asked directly.

As Zhou Sheng said, Zhou Guang told us that the relationship between the two families is very good, and Zhou Xiaoruo often goes to their house to play on weekends. Zhou Xiaoyu is a stutterer, and when answering our questions, he stammered, and he was also very sad, and tears rolled down without saying a few words.

Zhou Xiaoruo and Zhou Xiaoyu are not only cousins, but also classmates, and the relationship between the two of them is particularly good, and they grew up together since childhood.

mentioned that when Zhou Sheng asked them to send food, Zhou Guang also admitted that in those three days, they did accept Zhou Sheng's request to send food to Zhou Xiaoruo.

Jiang Jun turned the pen in his hand and asked, "Why do you have to send three people together?" ”

When Zhou Guang heard Jiang Jun ask, he finally understood that we were suspicious of him, and he wiped the tears from his face and explained to us with a sad face. Zhou Guang is in business, and people often ask him for entertainment, and he happened to have a meal in those three days, so when the three of them went out together, they brought Zhou Xiaoruo food by the way.

"Then why didn't Zhou Xiaoruo open the door?" Jiang Jun deliberately raised his voice.

This frightened Zhou Guang's family of three, I glanced at Jiang Jun, and he immediately stopped talking.

"Mr. Zhou, we won't wronged good people, as long as you tell the truth." Xu Yi comforted.

Under Xu Yi's comfort, Zhou Guang spoke again, he said that he didn't know why Zhou Xiaoruo didn't open the door, at first he thought that Zhou Xiaoruo was not at home, but the second and third days were still like this, and finally Zhou Sheng asked them not to send it, but to end their overtime and go home.

Zhou Guang was very nervous, and he also told us about the hotel where their dinner was located, saying that we didn't believe it, so we went to check.

After signing their names on the interrogation record, the family of three went home.

Jiang Jun asked me what to do, I thought about it, and still felt that this family of three was suspicious, so I asked Jiang Jun to send someone to secretly keep an eye on them. It was already very late, when we went out of the police station, we found that Wang Xin did not leave, he was waiting for us, originally I was not going to go back, but I couldn't bear Xu Yi to stay up late with me again, so I got into Wang Xin's car, and Jiang Jun stayed in the police station to continue to do things.

Wang Xin told us not to worry, he was very clear about everyone's actions, he said that it was useless for us to stay up late in the police station, and Jiang Jun could handle some odd things.

In fact, this is indeed the case, and now there are only two clues left, one is a strange painting in a geometry textbook, and the other is Zhou Guang's family. Originally, I thought that I could find something from Zhou Xiaoruo's disappearance, but in fact, the progress of the case was not great.

Through the rearview mirror of the car, I saw Wang Xin's expression clearly, he didn't mention anything about the bet, and still maintained that calm and breezy appearance.

Back at home, Xu Yi and I hurriedly took a shower and lay down on the bed. In the past two days, Xu Yi's sleep quality has been much better than before, and he doesn't seem to have nightmares anymore, and soon, Xu Yi fell asleep. But I looked at the pitch-black ceiling, and all I could think about was what Wang Xin said to me.

When we got up the next day, Wang Xin was still sitting at the table eating breakfast, and he even prepared our portion. Xu Yi seems to like to eat desserts in Guangdong City, and during the meal, Wang Xin and Xu Yi talked about a lot of things outside the case. I didn't speak, secretly observing Wang Xin's expression.

When I went to the police station, Wang Xin slowly and leisurely took the kettle to water the plants in his office, and Xu Yi secretly told me that she felt that Wang Xin's mentality was very good.

A good attitude and irresponsibility are just a thought. Wang Xin is not irresponsible about the case, it can be seen from the conversation that Wang Xin did not interfere on the surface, but he always paid attention to the progress of the case.

We waited for a while, Jiang Jun ran in, and looking at his face, he must have not slept all night.

"Professor Li, this is the identification result of that painting, and only Zhou Xiaoruo's fingerprints were found on it." Jiang Jun said to me.

"Only Zhou Xiaoruo's fingerprints were found?" I asked rhetorically.

Jiang Jun told me again with certainty that there was only Zhou Xiaoruo's fingerprint on the drawing paper, which was on the edge of the drawing paper, and there was only half a fingerprint. Jiang Jun speculated that this painting was not painted by Zhou Xiaoruo, and that the fingerprints were stained by Zhou Xiaoruo when he was flipping through the book, so he only left half a fingerprint on the edge of the drawing paper.

In the process of selling or disseminating a piece of drawing paper, it will always be stained with the fingerprints of different people, and this painting paper is so clean that it has been treated by special chemical means......
