Sleepless nights.

Last night was a difficult sleepless night for many people, some of them were because of their bodies, such as Hou San, who hummed and chirped all night in the small shed, and Zhang Xiaoman, who had a splitting headache in the dormitory. There are also because of psychology, such as Jinyue, who is worried in the villa, and Wang Chao, who is tossing and turning in the rental house.

But no night will not pass, just as no dawn will not come. The stars shift, the sun rises and the moon sets, and a trace of light floats in the sky, announcing the landing of light, and a new day has arrived.

Zhang Xiaoman sat up from the bed, slowly changed his clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and was surprised to see that breakfast had been placed on the table. After grinding and soaking himself last night, Zhang Xiaoman had already persuaded Wei Xue to win 7 days, although Wei Xue was so angry that he stomped away....

There was a sound of toilet flushing in the toilet, and an old woman with short hair and shoulder-length and a beige down jacket walked out, caught a glimpse of Zhang Xiaoman sitting at the dining table without moving her chopsticks, pouting and saying, "Eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold, is it possible that after eating the food made by other women for a month or two, you can't get used to what I make?" ”

Zhang Xiaoman coughed dryly, quickly picked up the chopsticks and put a green vegetable in his mouth, drank a large mouthful of lean porridge, and squeezed out a flattering smile, "How is it possible, of course the meal is made by his wife." Xiaoxiao, don't you know, during the time I went back to my hometown, I was thinking about the food you cooked every day, and I couldn't sleep all night long.... To be honest, Wei Xue's craftsmanship is really good, didn't you notice that I have lost a lot of weight..."

Huang Xiaoxiao sat down opposite Zhang Xiaoman and snorted softly, "You know I'm not talking about Wei Xue.... Forget it, it seems that I'm cautious if I continue to talk about it...."Glancing left and right in the room, he sighed, "Decades have passed, and this place is still exactly the same as before, nothing has changed..... I remember when you first got into this dormitory, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep all night, thinking that we finally had our own home in the city..."

Zhang Xiaoman sandwiched a steaming bun, blew it gently, and took a bite, "I didn't fall asleep last night...."

Huang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, pointed to the sofa and continued to say with great interest, "Do you remember.... In order to buy that sofa, we ate instant noodles for a month, and you always told me that life would get better and better, and you would buy me a bigger and more comfortable sofa in the future.... The sofa is getting bigger and bigger, but the two of us are spending less and less time sitting on it...."

Zhang Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and stared at Huang Xiaoxiao's face seriously, "Xiaoxiao, just say what you want to say...."

"Nothing.... I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, you can tell me," Huang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly red, and said, "We have experienced so many things, and the two lives have long been cooperative, can you tell Wei Xue, and even tell the woman named He Yao, why did she hide it from me..."

"Wei Xue told you?" Zhang Xiaoman frowned and said, "What a big mouth...."

Huang Xiaoxiao shook her head slowly, pointed at Zhang Xiaoman and said, "You told me.... You've only been back here alone once since we moved out of this dorm together.... Since that was the reason last time, I want to come this time...."

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you..... You guessed it, the sickness in my brain has returned...."

Huang Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart, and put her left hand on Zhang Xiaoman's right hand, "Let me be by your side this time, even if your emotions are out of control..."

Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand and interrupted Huang Xiaoxiao's words, "This time it's not that your emotions are out of control, it's that you're fading.... Memories are fading, and intelligence is declining...."I took off the hair cover on my head, revealing the bare top of my head, "My body functions have also begun to decline significantly, and now I'm really smart...."

Huang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, took Zhang Xiaoman's hand, and stood up, "Let's go, let's go back to our hometown, since the drug was developed in my hometown back then, we must be able to find a solution there....."

Zhang Xiaoman broke free of Huang Xiaoxiao's hand, "Have you forgotten that I just came back from my hometown...", he exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Besides, with the current medical conditions, it is actually the same everywhere." The reason why I went back to my hometown at that time was that Wei Xue said that many of the files of the old dean's drug development were still left in my hometown, and on the other hand, because my hometown was quiet and no one disturbed me..."

"Then we'll go back again," Huang Xiaoxiao wiped the tears on her face, "This time I'll stay with you for as long as you want....."

"Let's talk about it when the matter is done...."Zhang Xiaoman shook his head with a wry smile, "Nie Yi and Li Jun are still in the detention center, and they can't leave until the mess is cleaned up...."

"Don't fool me, even if you don't join the task force, Nie Yi and Li Jun will have to be released sooner or later, investigating the case is originally a matter for the police, there are no more of you, no less of you, no one without you, and without you, people can still find out the truth." Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't trust the police's ability to handle cases, there are so many people in Yiming Club who can help, and if you arrange a random person to come over, you can assist the police in handling the case beautifully, and you don't need to end up in person at all..."

"Everyone else has beaten the small one, and I, an old man, naturally have to come out, and my own apprentice will save it by himself.... And I'd like to give my two kids one last example....."

Huang Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaoman in a daze, "Is it already so serious?" ”

Zhang Xiaoman closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Now that you've made a decision," Huang Xiaoxiao took Zhang Xiaoman's hand again, "Then go do what you want to do, I, as a wife, will help you complete it together." ”

"Can you help me?"

"Don't forget that I'm Huang Xiaoxiao...."Huang Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with a sly light, "Moreover, there is one thing you will definitely not think, that woman named Jinyue is also a member of the Love Volunteer Association....."

"It seems that Nie Yi and Li Jun will be able to come out soon...."Zhang Xiaoman smiled knowingly, glanced at the gray sky outside the window, and stretched, "It's almost the New Year, and there is still to be the sun, and the land is in full swing to be festive and lively...."

An hour later, Zhang Xiaoman walked into the conference room of the police station, and saw that the conference room was already full of members of the task force, He Wei was writing and drawing on the whiteboard in front of the conference room, and everyone else looked at him in unison, coughing lightly, "I got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting..... I'm sorry, I'm a minute late, people are old and have slow legs, please forgive me. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoman walked to Sun Tiantian's side and sat down under the gaze of everyone, looking at his nose and nose.

He Wei stopped his pen and clapped his hands, "Okay, now that everyone has arrived, then let's officially start sorting out the case..."Pointing to the photo of Yang Hai on the whiteboard, "The deceased Yang Hai, a native of City A, is the chairman of the Yang Group in this city, and his social relations are complicated...."

Zhang Xiaoman listened to He Wei's introduction while looking at the members of the task force. Except for him and Sun Tiantian, who was dressed in a black tight leather suit, the conference room was full of police officers in blue uniforms. The four police officers on the right, Zhang Xiaoman, have some impressions, and they are members of the criminal investigation detachment who are in charge. The three officers on the left are a little untouched, as if they have been transferred from somewhere else.

Sun Tiantian took off the lollipop in her mouth, snorted at the policeman with a Chinese character face in the middle on the left, and whispered to Zhang Xiaoman, "Uncle Man, since you came in just now, that person has been watching you, do you know each other?" ”

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the police officer Sun Tiantian said, shook his head and said, "I don't know.... However, most of the people here are curious about me, and it's normal to look at me a few more times..."

Just when Sun Tiantian wanted to continue to say something, He Wei had roughly finished introducing the case, and raised his voice, "To sum up, the most suspicious ones at present are Nie Yi and Li Jun, who have been arrested by us, whether it is the fingerprints on the murder weapon or the testimony of the hostess of the villa, they all point to these two people, but this case is full of suspicions, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface, so Professor Zhang will explain to you what are the important doubts in this case..."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Xiaoman, some curious, some admired, and some disdainful.

Zhang Xiaoman slowly stood up and pursed his lips, "I can't talk about any explanation, just talk about some of my opinions...."

"Wait!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Zhang Xiaoman's words, and the policeman with the national character face that Sun Tiantian said before stood up, "As far as I know, the major suspects in this case, Nie Yi and Li Jun, are the apprentices of this Professor Zhang, and they have a close relationship, is it really appropriate for him to participate in this case?" Article 45 of the Police Regulations provides that if an investigator has a special relationship with a party to the case, he shall recuse himself...."

Sun Tian stood up from his seat suddenly, "You are insulting Uncle Man's integrity, even if you are apostatous and black-hearted, Uncle Man will not have any selfishness in solving the case..... Don't talk about police regulations, that's in charge of your police, Uncle Man is just here to help..."

"Since he has joined the task force, he belongs to the investigators," the policeman said coldly, "and this is a police station, so naturally you have to act according to the rules of the police." ”

"It's very good...."Sun Tiantian turned his head to Zhang Xiaoman and said, "Uncle Man, since they don't know how to lift, let's go back, if you really don't worry about the case-handling ability of these rice buckets, let's just check it ourselves, and save yourself from being angry here...."

Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, signaling Sun Tiantian to be restless.

He Wei's face suddenly became gloomy, staring at the policeman with a national face, and said in a cold tone, "First, Professor Zhang joined the task force as a consultant, and he is to assist in the investigation of the case, and he does not belong to the investigators; Second, the decision to hire Professor Zhang was made by the director, if anyone has any objections, they can raise objections to the director, don't be weird here, I will only explain this matter this time. The technical investigation department can take care of their own affairs, and the rest should not worry about it...."

The two police officers next to Guozi Face looked a little unsightly, and they also stood up with cold faces.

Seeing this, the four police officers in charge of He Wei stood up straight, and the temperature in the conference room dropped several degrees for a while.

Zhang Xiaoman coughed twice, slowly walked to He Wei's side, and faced everyone, "Everyone sit down first, you might as well be patient and listen to my opinion on this case for the time being, if you think I have a bias towards anyone, I will leave immediately..."

Guozi Face and Zhang Xiaoman glanced at each other, pulled the two police officers next to him to sit down, and then several police officers under He Wei also sat back on their seats.

Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath, "In my opinion, there are currently a total of 4 main doubts in this case," holding up a finger, "First, assuming that Nie Yi and Li Jun are murderers, what is their motive for committing the crime?" ”

Pointing to the photo of the footprints on the whiteboard, "Second, there are footprints of Nie Yi and Li Jun from the sofa in the living room to the study, but there are no footprints of them in other places, so how did they enter the villa?" It's impossible to teleport in, the window has obvious signs of being pryed, and their own testimony also confesses that they climbed in through the window, so where did their footprints from the window to the sofa in the living room go? ”

"Third, the deceased Yang Hai did not have any scars left on his body because of resistance, and he was almost killed with a knife, so that is to say, the murderer was rushing to kill Yang Hai from the beginning, if there were really two people in the family who wanted their own lives, would Yang Hai be unaware? You must know that when Yang Hai died, his mind was very clear..."

"Fourth, what the hostess of the villa said, Li Jun was knocked unconscious by Yang Hai, Nie Yi killed Yang Hai and was knocked unconscious by her who rushed from the second floor..... I've seen the scars on the back of Nie Yi and Li Jun's heads, and if what she said is true, then the two of them really have a good heart, and even the position of hitting the gangster's head is exactly the same..."

The room was filled with pin drops, and everyone was lost in thought.

Zhang Xiaoman finished speaking in one breath, and sighed faintly, "In fact, there are more doubts than these, and the most important thing is .... There is another homicide hidden in this villa....."
