After Zhu Mao finished speaking, the whole room fell into a suffocating silence, and there was no sound other than the clatter of Shuqing cleaning the broken cup. Everyone sitting in the room had their own thoughts, occasionally smiling awkwardly at each other. When Shuqing poured the broken glass slag into the trash, Zhu Mao couldn't wait to say:

"I think I'd better come to you another day! With that, he stood up, and Hu Sheng and Chen Xianhui also stood up.

Shuqing rubbed her hands, put down the broom in her hand, looked at him and said:

"Okay, I'll send you out. Then she turned her head to look at Hu Sheng and Chen Xianhui, "You-" She wanted to say that you can also go, but the words did not come out of her mouth.

"We're gone, too, and we'll visit you another day. Hu Sheng took the initiative to leave, Chen Xianhui nodded with an unhappy face, she didn't want to leave yet, she had something important to tell Shuqing.

Hu Sheng and Chen Xianhui walked in front and left first, and Shuqing followed behind Zhu Mao.

As soon as Zhu Mao walked out of the door, he quickly took out the cigarette case from his bag, smoked a cigarette, and wrapped one hand into a cup, and carefully lit it with a lighter.

Shuqing looked at him as if she had endured it for a long time, smoking was not allowed in her house, but how could Zhu Mao know? Shuqing thought, Zhu Mao was either a very keen observer, or a very cultured person. No matter what, these two points can add points to Zhu Mao.

"Officer Zhu Mao, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?" Shuqing said.

"I don't think so. Zhu Mao replied with a cigarette in his mouth and slurred his words.

"Oh—"

"I know how unjust you have to say this, and this is indeed an undoubted strange case, and An Xiaowen's death simply ended this case. He took the cigarette from his mouth and pouted and spat out a smoke ring into the sky.

"Do you believe that An Xiaowen committed suicide?" Shuqing asked, she remembered what An Xiaowen told her, when Li Zhen attacked her, she wanted to keep the evidence, how could An Xiaowen commit suicide at this moment. Could it be that everything she told her was a hoax. Oh, she's a little confused.

"This incident - I regret to explain it in a tone that is not commensurate with it. Although you are an old-timer in our business, I heard that you used to be very good. However, An Xiaowen did commit suicide. The suicide note she left behind was identified as being written by herself. ”

"So, I'm confused. Shuqing muttered quietly.

"Uh-huh, what's ma'am!"

Shuqing shook her head, but immediately looked at Zhu Mao alertly. She's judging whether this person can be trusted. Then she found the answer and spoke:

"An Xiaowen had asked me to pay special attention to her daughter, Li Zhen, who suspected that she had killed Zhu Hui, oh, it was a poor rural woman in Longmen Town, who had fallen to her death. There is also Li Yiwen, I don't need me to explain this person, you must know him. Zhu Mao nodded at her, and Shuqing continued, "I even suspect that she might have tried to murder me, oh - it may sound strange, but not long ago I encountered an incident in the middle of the night, a woman tried to burst into my house, and I heard her say, 'This old woman should have died a long time ago.'" I think Hu Sheng saved me, he let the woman go, and of course he must have let her in. ”

"You should stay away from the woman surnamed An," Zhu Mao took a deep puff of his cigarette, then threw it on the ground and stomped it out with the tip of his leather shoe.

"It's strange that someone told me that before. Shuqing frowned.

Zhu Mao raised his eyebrows, disapproving, and then said:

"Of course, there is also that Hu Sheng and his mother, I suggest you have less contact with them. As soon as An Xiaowen dies, there is no need for you to contact them anymore, I know that you are An Xiaowen's only friend. ”

"So, is this really the end of this matter?" Shuqing asked unwillingly, "If it wasn't for Li Zhen, everything was done by An Xiaowen, then she lied to me, but why? If it's not her, it's—"

Zhu Mao raised a hand and interrupted her.

"You are a very perceptive and capable woman, and I am sure you understand my purpose in risking revealing the name of the whistleblower to you today. Zhu Mao looked sideways around, bent down and lowered his head and whispered to Shuqing.

Zhu Mao is a head and a neck taller than Shuqing, Shuqing is only as high as his shoulders, he doesn't understand how such a petite figure was mixed up in the Public Security Bureau in the first place, and it is also praised as a legend. He Zhu Mao never wants to add extra work and trouble to himself, for him, he is a man with a wife, two sons waiting to be fed, plus parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law to support. He didn't want to pay attention to the old woman's thoughts, but his superiors gave him an order to dispose of the old woman. Of course, the so-called handling is not to kill her, but just to let her stop chasing the case of the Jin'an family. As for why, he didn't know, and his boss didn't tell him. He guessed that it was because of An Daqing, and he heard that An Daqing had been the secret sponsor of their leader's case-handling funds. Of course, this is all hearsay. The complex relationship is not something that he can understand as a rough person, and he doesn't want to understand it. Where to find it if you lose your job.

"What do you mean—" Shuqing took a step back, and in the face of Zhu Mao's suddenly extremely serious and mysterious appearance, she subconsciously took a step back.

"I don't know how you got into the Public Security Bureau back then, and you were praised as a legend, hum? My boss asked me to be polite to you, of course I have to be polite to you. You have to figure it out, that's just the reason, we're not all the way. He said and broke his mouth on the ground. "It's hot. ”

"I know what it takes to be a police officer," Shuqing said.

"Don't kidnap me with any duties, a sense of justice or anything like that, I don't eat this. Listen to me, no matter what the situation is, one is that An Xiaowen did it, she killed herself, she didn't do it, she was just a poor mother who wanted to protect her daughter. Do you need to destroy the daughter she protected with her life?" said Zhu Mao, "Listen, I'm just an ordinary police officer, I have four old people to raise, and two little cubs to be fed, with a ba'er, God knows how much effort they have to spend on me." Don't hurt me to lose my job. ”

Shuqing looked at Zhu Mao and did not speak. Zhu Mao is right, that's right, no matter what the situation is, as soon as An Xiaowen died, all grievances disappeared. There is no need for her to pull such an ordinary police officer who has a large family to check something. In that case, what else did she pursue? After going around in such a big circle, An Xiaowen left her such a mystery for her, and left with both hands. So many things happened during this period, Zhu Hui, Li Yiwen, Jin Peng, why did she kill them, why? When she thought of this, she was extremely disappointed.

"Old lady, there are many things for no reason. ”
