After the meal, Du Ruoying returned to the scene, and William followed. Seeing the smile on his face, she seriously suspected that he was here to see a show.
In front of the store entrance, Jiang Xia was holding a cup of coffee and chatting with the boss. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Du Ruoying called Xiao Han away alone.
After the two briefly exchanged greetings, she suddenly stretched out her hand to twist the end of his hair on the left rear: "It seems like there is something blue stained here, which is very similar to the color of the paint sprayed on the surveillance camera in the store."
Xiao Han's expression changed, and he instinctively took half a step back, then showed a pained expression: "Impossible, I clearly -" last night
"It's obviously been cleaned, right?" Du Ruoying understood, "It is indeed you."
Xiao Han fell into silence.
"That's right, you've washed it. There can't be any traces of crime on it. I lied deliberately to test you." She spread her fingers to show him, and there were no blue marks on them.
"Why do you doubt me?" He was a little unwilling.
Du Ruoying wanted to tell him that in fact, she originally planned to use similar tricks on every criminal suspect, but she didn't expect that the first one would be successful.
But that would be too disrespectful to say.
She pretended to clear her throat and said seriously: "Because there is a person who is very similar to you around me, and he also advised me not to do this job. His personality is quite extreme, which reminds me that there is another kind of person in this case. Possibility—that is, committing a crime out of well-intentioned dissuasion.”
At this time, other people gradually noticed the unusual atmosphere here and gathered around: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"You have no evidence." Xiao Han forced out a polite smile, a gentle and clean smile, but this smile did not relieve the low pressure between the two.
"I have no evidence?" She lowered her gaze and looked at Xiao Han's feet coldly. Her gaze was like a real dagger, making Xiao Han almost jump.
He grabbed her wrist suddenly, pulled her close, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he admitted defeat: "I...we will have a wedding next month, can you let me go?"
She threw him away, and a red mark appeared on her thin wrist: "I think Sister Jiang Xia has the right to know the truth."
"What happened?" Jiang Xia looked confused.
Meng Yuzhu, who has always been on the front line of melon-eating, answered enthusiastically: "Xiaoying suspects Brother Xiao Han is the murderer."
Everyone was stunned.
"how can that be?"
"No reason!"
"Moreover, wasn't the murderer's wrist severely bitten by Sister Jiang Xia? There was no injury on Xiao Han's wrist either."
"Yes, there is indeed no injury on his wrist," Du Ruoying said, "because the real bite was on the ankle."
Before Xiao Han could react, she bent down and lifted up his right trouser leg, revealing the bandage wrapped around his ankle: "Are you going to take off this bandage yourself, or should I take it off for you?"
Xiao Han looked at Jiang Xia for help, but Jiang Xia was completely confused.
Under Du Ruoying's strong insistence, he had no choice but to slowly squat down, untie the bandage, and reveal the wound - it was a brand new bite with no scab yet, and human teeth marks could be clearly seen from it.
Jiang Xia's legs softened and she knelt on the ground: "Why...are you doing this?"
Xiao Han simply stopped pretending: "Of course it is to make you resign willingly."
Meng Yuzhu was stunned: "Just for this?"
"Just for this? Hehe, you women..." Xiao Han glanced at William, "When I persuade you so loudly, do you listen? You will only think that we are making a fuss. Do we have to wait until something like this really happens? Are you going to regret it? I helped prevent it in advance, what’s wrong with that!”
Jiang Xia raised his hand angrily, and a crisp slap fell, interrupting his excited argument. Looking at half of his slightly red face, she was stunned, as if she didn't expect that she would actually hit him.
"I'm sorry!" She hugged him heartbroken.
"Sister Jiang Xia, the one who should say sorry is not you, but him." Du Ruoying frowned.
While comforting Jiang Xia in his arms, Xiao Han sneered at Du Ruoying: "Actually, we just received the certificate a few days ago. I would like to ask Miss Detective - does infringing on one's own wife count as infringement?"
"Of course!" Du Ruoying said without hesitation.
"I will withdraw the case, Xiao Han, don't worry." Jiang Xia cried so hard that her whole body trembled. Obviously, she was more worried than Xiao Han.
Hearing this, Xiao Han smiled even more.
Looking at his innocent and innocent smile, Du Ruoying suddenly heard a sentence in her ears: "Evil sometimes shows the calmness of a plant, and crystallized evil is as pure and beautiful as a white pill.[1]"
At this time, a police officer walked up to the three of them and said helplessly: "The case has been filed and it is a criminal case. The victim cannot withdraw the case on his own initiative."
In this way, Xiao Han was taken away, and in the end only Jiang Xia was left crying heartbrokenly.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Meng Yuzhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he found Du Ruoying and asked, "Isn't our original intention to help Sister Jiang Xia?"
"Ah."
"Since you knew clearly in advance that leaving the case an unsolved mystery would be better for Sister Jiang Xia, then why did you tell the truth? How could you be so cruel?"
These words made Du Ruoying feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.
Meng Yuzhu continued to say something, but her voice seemed to be coming from a long distance away, getting farther and farther away, making it impossible to hear clearly. The accusations and questions were like heavy objects, dragging Du Ruoying deeper into the deep water. She could only watch the sunshine above her head go away little by little.
so cold...
It's obviously midsummer, why does it feel so cold?
Maybe I am really a cold-blooded person, that's why I can't feel any warmth at this moment.
William had long advised herself not to get involved in this matter, but she didn't listen. She thought she was on the side of justice, but he was not. She had always thought that he was a cruel person without empathy, but in handling this case, she was clearly more cruel than him.
No, not just this case, in fact, a long time ago, in many cases in the past, her approach was more cruel than his.
This ending is not what anyone wants to see. If justice only brings harm, then what is the point of her pursuit of justice? Is it because of the detective's vanity?
How ridiculous...
Du Ruoying woke up as if her finger was lightly touched by something warm. William handed him a cup of hot milk tea: "Are you thirsty?"
She took the milk tea, held it in her hands, and took a sip. Warm and sweet. This gave her a sense of peace. She looked back around and found that the crowd had dispersed and Meng Yuzhu had already left. Apart from the two of them, only the boss was sitting in front of the store in a daze.
"The weather is so hot, I should treat you to an ice drink. But I think you may need something warmer at the moment." William gently touched her head as a comfort.
She lowered her head and let his touch heal her. She stared at the liquid level of the milk tea in a daze: "To love someone in a way that hurts them, even at the risk of committing a crime, is it really so ridiculous in this world?" thing."
“That’s why there’s the story of Salome.”
"Yes, you once asked me what I thought about Salome's love. Now I seem to understand a little bit. For Salome, this is the only way she can think of to love a saint- —Even if the method is cruel."
"After all, it is very difficult to love an overly stubborn saint and try to draw him into your world." William lowered his eyes.
Du Ruoying didn't hear what he meant, and she cheered up: "But no matter what, the case is finally solved, and I can continue to work."
"Do you want to continue working here?" William raised his eyebrows.
"Of course!"
After saying that, she happily ran to her boss and told him that she wanted to continue working here. The boss didn't reply, he just raised his eyes to indicate to her to look at the seal on the door.
She didn't take it seriously and said: "The case has been solved. The seal will be taken off soon. Don't worry."
"That seal was not posted by the police," the boss sighed, "it was posted by the fire department."
"what!"
"Hey, I don't know which god I offended. Last night, someone listed the sixteen fire regulations that our store violated at once and anonymously reported it to the fire department. Now it's okay, the store has to close for three months for rectification .”
"Which [-] regulations have you been reported to? Can you tell us?" William asked, "Maybe we can help find a solution."
So the boss counted them one by one with his fingers: "The first one is that multiple high-power equipment are often used at the same time, and the electricity is used randomly, which poses a risk of circuit fire. The second one is that debris has been piled up in the evacuation aisle for a long time, resulting in insufficient evacuation distance. The third is that combustible materials were used in the decoration of the evacuation stairs. The fourth is that the fire protection facilities are incomplete and the fire extinguishers are expired..."
"But there are many things that can't be helped at all!" the boss said, slapping his thigh in annoyance, "If you are so serious, how many stores in the world can continue to operate?"
"Don't worry." After saying that, William gave out the rectification methods one by one. They are all easy to operate, low-cost, and most importantly, fast and efficient. For shops in scenic spots with high rents, time is of the essence. In life, one less day of missed work means one less day of loss.
After listening to William's suggestion, Du Ruoying couldn't help but admire her. The boss even held William's hands excitedly: "Oh, you are really a living Buddha, you saved my life! Do it according to your method If so, the lockdown can be lifted one month in advance!”
Although the boss is happy, Du Ruoying is still desperate. Her summer vacation is only two months long. If the store is closed by the fire department for so long, she will have to find another place to work.
The boss was still madly throwing rainbow farts at William: "You cultural people are different, you are so awesome! Really awesome! Your suggestions helped me save a lot of losses. I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I'll wait for you in the store." After the business resumes, if you come to drink coffee, I will give it to you for free! It will be free forever!"
"You're welcome." William politely declined.
"By the way, there is another thing I can't figure out. Can you help me think about it? This reporter seems to know our store very well. I think he is probably an acquaintance. Who could have done it? Yes. Could it be Xiao Han?" the boss asked.
William thought for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "We don't know this, after all, we are not familiar with the staff in the store."
These words reminded Du Ruoying, and she suddenly thought of something, so she said to William: "My mobile phone is out of battery, I can use your help."
William handed her the phone, and she immediately switched to the browser to check the history. As expected, there are not only search records for the punishment methods of the sixteen fire protection regulations, but also tutorials and solutions on specific reporting methods, etc.
Very good, now she can be convinced that the guy in front of her, whom the boss calls "living Bodhisattva", is an out-and-out living king of hell! Not only did he cheat the boss and lose two months of sales, the boss still kept saying thank you to him...
What kind of hell scene is this? ! !
