37. Be at peace for the time being

Bai Yafeng said that when he went to Jiangcheng for training the year before last, he overheard two local policemen talking about the "Human Skin X Case" in the locker room.

As Bai Yafeng spoke, his voice became softer, his eyes flowed with some confused light, and he half-covered his mouth and said, "Oh, I'll go, shouldn't I have heard something that I shouldn't have heard and said it?" ”

Don't let him ask?

What shouldn't you hear?

Human skin X case?

Judging by Tan Zhongxia's reaction just now, he knows about this case, not only does he know it, but he is afraid that the cause and effect are very clear. His sudden bruises and clenched fists just now were both subconscious or even unconscious behaviors. Bai Yafeng suddenly mentioned that the "Human Skin X Case" touched the part of his body that was related to it.

I think the scales are a little tilted.

I feel like I've grasped something in my favor.

I even felt that I could finally question him in reverse.

So I stared at Tan Zhongxia's dull eyes and asked him, "Do you know that case?" 'Human Skin X Case'? ”

He caught my gaze, his face was calm, and he replied word by word: "I don't know." ”

There was no expression on his face, and his gaze was as dull and radiant as ever, and he could control his hand from clenching into a fist like just now, but he couldn't control the green tendons on his forehead and jumped again. So, he's lying.

He lied to me about the Yinbei Terrier before, and now he lies to me again about the "Human Skin X Case".

But I didn't poke him.

We just look at me, I look at you, no one speaks again, and there is a certain sense of panic in the air that suddenly falls in front of us, as if something is crackling, so subtle that it is almost non-existent, but it still has a deafening and terrifying effect.

Half a minute later, his expression suddenly darkened, and he glared at me as if he remembered something important, and then broke the silence.

He suddenly slapped his palm on the table, raised his voice one level higher, and asked me in a stern tone that was half questioning and half rhetorical: "Don't you know about that case?" 'Human skin X case'?! ”

This loud, heavy, ruthless and powerful shout frightened Bai Yafeng, and even Xiao Hai's dull face had an uncomfortable expression.

I heard a voice in my heart scolding a swear word, a little ruthless, but it was still on my face, and even a little smile, I shook my head slowly, and replied, "I don't know." Never heard of it. If I knew, would I need to ask you? ”

A strange deflated expression swept through Tan Zhongxia's expression, which made me feel very inexplicable, I didn't understand what he was thinking at all, and I couldn't understand what the relationship between him and Jiang Cheng's "Human Skin X Case" was. Didn't he transfer from Shanghai? When did you get involved with Jiang Cheng?

The atmosphere is suddenly so bad that it can't be worse, and if it gets worse, it's probably going to tear his face, and I'll probably jump to his feet and ask him what the yin and yang sentences mean. He would probably raise his fist and ask me what I meant by staring at him so aggressively. He is a serious policeman, or a policeman with a black gauze hat, if I fall out with him, it will be difficult for me to treat the public security bureau as my home in the future as before, when love is in, when is it in, when it is out, when it is out.

was embarrassed, Xiao Hai suddenly spoke.

She said, "It's two o'clock, it's time to sleep." ”

Her voice was not loud, but she was very resolute, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao is Mao and no one can say a word, as if she is the mistress here.

Before I could figure out what to do, she took command.

Pointing to me first: "You, go back to your room and sleep." ”

then pointed to Bai Yafeng and Tan Zhongxia: "You two, either come to my room and squeeze together, and I will sleep on the sofa in the living room; Either you sleep on the couch; Or go back to your own house and sleep, whatever. ”

Even the word "roll" came out, this momentum is really a bit overbearing, I was a little stunned for a while, and then I didn't know why I wanted to laugh in particular, but I felt that it was not appropriate, so I seriously held the smile in my stomach, and I had great respect and gratitude to Xiaohai in my heart.

Bai Yafeng looked at Xiao Hai dumbfounded, probably thinking that she was a great wonder that was unparalleled in the world.

Only Tan Zhongxia didn't react to this, he still looked at me as before, his eyes were fixed, and there was not much emotion on his face.

Xiao Hai wanted to open his mouth to say something again, Bai Yafeng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry about you, I'll just sleep on the sofa in the living room on the first floor."

Xiao Hai moved his sword-like gaze to Tan Zhongxia's face and asked, "How are you?" ”

Tan Zhongxia smiled at her, pointed to the chair next to her, and said, "I'm fine, I can make up for a night anywhere." Xiaohai said okay, that's it, go back to their own houses. ”

So he stopped studying it, and went back to his room.

Bai Yafeng walked out of the study side by side with me, leaned into my ear and stuck out his tongue, and said in a suppressed voice: "Alas, I'll go, that fat man is born to be a queen, and he can kill a hundred flies with his eyes alone, Nier, I see, you will have a lot of hardships in the future." ”

I glared at him and stomped on him again, telling him to stop telling weird jokes in the future, because not everyone likes to listen to him. He stuck out his tongue and said goodnight, then jumped down the stairs with a childish gait.

I stood in the hallway for a few seconds, then slowly moved upstairs to my bedroom.

Xiao Hai washed her face and brushed her teeth in the bathroom on the second floor before going upstairs and going back to her own room to sleep.

So far, at least superficially, nothing has happened.

My nerves are sometimes very alert, especially when there are special circumstances, and almost all the cells in my body are in a state of readiness.

I think Tan Zhongxia, who stayed in the study on the second floor, didn't sleep all night, although I couldn't hear the sound of walking or turning over materials, I vaguely felt that he hadn't slept all night, so he crossed his arms and lay on the bed made of a few chairs and thought about things with his eyes open in the dark.

What was he thinking?

When it was almost dawn, I heard footsteps on the second floor, very soft, it was Tan Zhongxia. He walked so lightly, and he didn't deliberately tiptoe. He walked out of the study step by step, and then, after taking a few steps to the right, he came to the side of the stairs, and suddenly stopped there.

I closed my eyes and ears to catch the sound, not worried that he would do something out of the ordinary in my house. He is such a clever man that he would not be so stupid as to offend my territory, and though he may not be willing to be my friend, there is absolutely no need to offend me at the moment.

I guess he was so curious about me that he wanted to walk around my house while everyone was asleep and see if he could find any clues to explain his doubts, but he was afraid that we would wake up when we heard the sound, so he hesitated and stopped there.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the voice of a second person in the house.

This time it came from the next room.

Xiao Hai, who was only a wall away from me, also woke up, and she tiptoed to the bed, and walked to the door on tiptoe like a cat, and then stopped there.

She also heard the movement downstairs, and then she must have rested her hand on the doorknob, ready to make the fastest response in case Tan Zhongxia made some moves.

After waiting for a while, nothing that shouldn't have happened happened.

Tan Zhongxia stood for a while, quietly closed the door of the study, went downstairs, walked into the bathroom on the first floor and rinsed his face with cold water, and then woke up Bai Yafeng, the two of them whispered a few words softly, opened the door and went out.

I heard Xiaohai walk to the other end of the room, open the sliding door, and walk to the balcony, until the two men downstairs locked the iron door and drove the car away, and then she went back to bed and continued to sleep.

I lay on the bed and listened to this series of movements, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, if one day Xiaohai and I fought against each other, who would have a better chance of winning.

Her strength should not be as strong as mine, but her explosiveness is definitely stronger than mine, and it seems that she is more ruthless, if there is a real life-and-death duel, I am afraid that I will suffer.

Thinking of this, I shook my head, and quickly shook my head to expel this absurd idea from my head, I can fight anyone, I must not fight her, she is Uncle Xiu's daughter, I am probably crazy to think of such a non-musical thing.

After a few days, I was lazy at home and didn't go to the Public Security Bureau, not to be angry with Tan Zhongxia, I really didn't think there was any need to go, I had all the information I should have, and they would call me at any time if they had new discoveries and progress, such as the "disembowelment case" The deceased did have narcotic drugs in his body, but the experimental equipment in the city could not analyze the specific ingredients and doses, and blood and tissue samples had been taken and sent to the forensic laboratory of the Provincial Public Security Department for assistance.

In addition, they checked the "Seven Knife Case" deceased Yu Min's large and small hotels and guesthouses on the day she arrived in Qianzhou, but there was no registration of her stay, and concluded that she was robbed by the murderer as soon as she got off the train, so they transferred the video tapes of the railway stations on both sides to watch, but all the pictures showed that Yu Min came to Qianzhou City from Liangbao City alone, and no one saw him off when he got on the train, and no one picked up the station when he got off the train, and he was alone from beginning to end.

Liu Yimin was very unwilling to do this, and asked the technicians in the bureau to edit and merge all the scenes of Yu Min in the videotape, and delete the rest of the irrelevant ones, and ordered everyone to take turns to check them, so they had to find some useful clues from them.

There are so many clues, so many directions, but the murderer can't be found.

Not to mention the murderer, I haven't even found the right direction of investigation.

So I might as well stay at home and be quiet, and save myself from looking at Tan Zhongxia's weird face.

I just watch TV with Xiaohai at home every day, in a daze, in a daze, and watch TV again, occasionally chatting with or without a match, and the days are relaxed and refreshing.

Besides, Xiaohai's cooking level is very good, and he has a very good appetite for me, I used to eat one bowl of rice for every meal, but now I can eat two bowls, the more I live, the more energetic I am, and I don't want to be nosy.
