I glanced at the inspection report a few times, Xu Yi asked me how the results were, I smiled and told her that maybe there were too many cases during this time, I was too tired, and everything was normal on the inspection report. Xu Yi also relaxed when she heard my words, and she took my hand and told me not to be too tired.

I threw the inspection report in the trash. It was a cloudy day, and it seemed that it was about to rain, and the sky in the distance kept flashing with light, and then, a loud roar resounded throughout the Pearl City. The people who set up their stalls on the street had already put away their stalls and hurried back, and Xu Yi and I had just gotten into the taxi when the downpour fell from the sky.

The whole city of Zhuhai was shrouded in torrential rain, and the lightning and thunder made our mood extremely dull, and the car drove to the police station, and we ran out of the car. In just a few steps, the heavy rain drenched us all over, and after saying hello to Ma Tao's office, Xu Yi went to the lounge to change clothes.

When Xu Yi came out of the lounge, I was sitting on the steps and smoking, and Xu Yi had dried his hair, and for twenty minutes, I sat outside and waited. I snuffed out the eighth cigarette I smoked, stood up and led Xu Yi into Ma Tao's office, Ma Tao was sitting at his desk on the phone, and he motioned for us to wait for him for a while.

Xu Yi and I sat on the sofa and waited quietly, Ma Tao spoke into the phone for a long time, but I didn't listen to a word of what he said. It wasn't until someone handed me a glass of water that I looked up, it was Ma Tao, he laughed at how the two of us were in a trance, I turned my head to look at Xu Yi, she was also in a daze, she didn't hear us talking.

I took Ma Tao's water and called Xu Yi softly. Xu Yi reacted at this time, I smiled and asked her what she was thinking, Xu Yi said that she was thinking about who would kill Sun Xiang, and when this topic was mentioned, everyone became solemn. I've been thinking about this a lot as well, and I'm trying to figure out how it relates to those weird events that preceded me.

Ma Tao sighed and said that I told him what he did, he has already explained it and asked people to investigate, and the superiors have also verbally agreed to postpone the closure of the case, and the death of Sun Xiang and the case of Qian Er will be investigated together, and the police force will be able to officially start acting after the written notice.

We waited in the office for a while, and someone knocked on the door, it was a criminal policeman, and he came to us with Jiang Jun. I haven't seen him for a few days, and Jiang Jun doesn't have the same appearance as before, he is full of stubble and haggard. He had already changed into his clothes, and after entering the door, Jiang Jun barely squeezed out a smile at Xu Yi and me.

Ma Tao stepped forward quickly, shook Jiang Jun's hand, and said sorry vigorously. Jiang Jun had resentment in his eyes, I was afraid that Jiang Jun would do something drastic, so I hurriedly walked to the two of them. Jiang Jun glared at Ma Tao for a long time, his gaze became no longer so sharp, he withdrew his hand and swayed it casually.

"Forget it, everyone is a police officer." After Jiang Jun finished speaking, he turned his head and bowed deeply to me: "Professor Li, thank you." ”

Jiang Jun finally figured it out, as a policeman, he knew that many times he really couldn't help himself. The few things I told Ma Tao are still under investigation, and all we have to do is wait. Jiang Jun squatted in the police station for a few days, and he was already exhausted, so we took him and left.

Ma Tao stuffed an umbrella into one of us, and when we walked out of the police station, the rain was heavy, and the raindrops hit the umbrella, as if it was going to smash the umbrella out of a big hole. Jiang Jun held an umbrella and walked beside me and Xu Yi in a distracted manner, Xu Yi and I shared an umbrella, her cold hand holding my arm.

The rain was sloping, umbrellas didn't work, and when we walked back to the hotel, we were wet again. We prepared a room for Jiang Jun in advance, just next door to our room, he didn't say anything, went straight into his room and closed the door. Xu Yi looked at Jiang Jun's closed door and sighed.

Jiang Jun is younger than me and Xu Yi, Xu Yi treats people well, treats him as his younger brother, looking at Jiang Jun like this, Xu Yi said that she felt very uncomfortable. After going back to the room, taking a shower and changing clothes, Xu Yi and I were lying on the bed, and listening to the sound of breathing, I knew that she was not asleep either.

Another day passed, and the next day when we went out to dinner with Jiang Jun, we found that Jiang Jun's door could not be knocked open. Xu Yi and I were in a hurry, worried that something would happen to Jiang Jun again, so I knocked on the door a few more times and hurriedly rushed downstairs to find the hotel waiter to open the door.

When I went down the stairs around the corner, I almost bumped into someone, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun had already shaved all his beard, and his long hair was also cleaned by him. Jiang Jun was carrying a few portions of food in his hand and asked me where I was going in such a hurry. Seeing that Jiang Jun was fine, Xu Yi and I were both relieved.

Jiang Jun finally understood that we were worried about him, and he welcomed us upstairs and into our room. Jiang Jun said apologetically that he went out to get a haircut, he was afraid that we didn't get up, so he didn't call us, and he was thinking about what to buy us to eat. Jiang Jun no longer had the dejected look he had yesterday, he said that the sky was clear, and ran to open the curtains as he spoke.

The sun was shining, the dark room was illuminated, Jiang Jun squinted and smiled, looking at his appearance, the oppressive atmosphere that had been accumulating for many days suddenly dissipated.

After eating, my mobile phone rang, it was Ma Tao calling, he said that the people he sent out, starting from Sun Xiang's mobile phone, found out some things, and asked me to go to the police station immediately. Ma Tao was very anxious, it seemed that he had found some valuable clues. After a few words, I rushed to the police station with Xu Yi and Jiang Jun.

Ma Tao was sitting in the office, and there were two other criminal policemen and an old man in his office, this old man looked familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere.

After Ma Tao beckoned us to sit down, he immediately got straight to the point, he said that the call records in Sun Xiang's mobile phone, he sent someone to check, and it was indeed the number of the public phone booth, most of which were from Zhu City, but there were other cities in the province and outside the province. He has sent people to check if there are any surveillance cameras in the vicinity of several phone booths in Zhu City.

Ma Tao also asked local police friends to check several public phone booths in other cities in the province, and as for those outside the province, due to the large geographical span, it is estimated that it will take a little longer to find out. I nodded and looked at the old man, Ma Tao understood and immediately explained to me.

This old man is also from Qian Er Village, no wonder I feel familiar. I have met more than 100 people in the village one by one, although I can't remember clearly, but I have a vague impression. Ma Tao said that my speculation is right, Sun Xiang has no electricity at home, and his mobile phone has no way to charge it at home.

The men he sent asked the whole village, and finally found the old man. The old man said that Sun Xiang would put his mobile phone at his house every two or three days to charge, and said that he would give him a few yuan as an electricity bill. Sun Xiang is the master of the village, and wherever the old man dares to ask for it, he will let Sun Xiang use electricity at will.

"Did he pick up the phone at your house?" I asked.

The old man thought carefully for a while, and nodded yes. When the mobile phone is left to charge, Sun Xiang will stay aside, sitting for several hours, the mobile phone is a valuable thing to the old man, he is afraid of breaking it, so he doesn't even dare to get close. A few times during this period, Sun Xiang answered the phone, and the old man was eating at home.

When Sun Xiang answered the phone, he didn't say anything except "um, um" in reply, and his eyes looked at the old man from time to time. When the old man looked at him, Sun Xiang smiled kindly, and then hung up the phone.

"He didn't say a word?" I asked repeatedly.

The old man was very sure, he said that the few times he was present, Sun Xiang did not speak.

The old man's words made several of us ponder, normal people will not answer the phone like this, once or twice is fine, but so many times, it is the other party who speaks, Sun Xiang replied, which can only show that Sun Xiang has something that cannot be heard by others.

I don't know if the communication records in Sun Xiang's mobile phone have been deleted, but what is left behind are the numbers of the public phone booth, and we can only start from these numbers. After asking, the criminal police drove the old man back to the village, and before the old man left, he also muttered that the people in the village hated Sun Xiang to death, saying that he died well.

We waited in the office for a long time, and finally, the criminal police who went to the telephone booths in Zhuhai City to find the surveillance cameras came back......
