what the murderer wants to do

The other party spoke slowly, "At that time, an old policeman took me. We received the call, and when we arrived at the scene, we ran out and vomited within three seconds."

Xu Xiao's eyes were a little erratic, but his tone of voice was still as steady as ever: "A family of four, one of them was not left, and blood flowed all over the floor."

"It's fine if that's the case." Seeing the young subordinate opposite him turning pale, he said softly, "Two adults and two children were smashed in the head with a heavy object. The children are twins, and the two sisters , and the fifth birthday is one month away."

Xu Xiao sniffled, the smell of blood came from the scene ten years ago, and it was still so choking that it was hard to breathe.

In the photo album on the bedside table, the family is huddled together intimately, smiling for the camera.Outside the photo album, the younger sister's head rolled to the door, a room away from her young body.

"Guess what kind of person can do such a thing?"

"We caught those two guys with almost no effort. They didn't hide their marks at all, and there were fingerprints everywhere in the room." Xu Xiao didn't want the other party to answer, and continued talking on his own , "Two 17-year-old high school students were still scared when they were arrested. They hugged the legs of the table and didn't let go, crying loudly. I really had a headache when I heard it."

The boss still spoke in that gentle tone, but Pei Jiuchuan felt a chill down his spine.

"When I finally explained the motive of committing the crime, I couldn't believe it. The hostess of the house was their English teacher. She notified the parents of the two cheating. They felt uncomfortable and knocked on the teacher's door at night."

"When the hostess opened the door for her students, would she have thought that they had murderous intentions?" He lightly asked Pei Jiuchuan a rhetorical question, and then sighed, "Fortunately, they are already 17 years old."

Pei Jiuchuan didn't say a word, and the sweet scent still permeated the booth. Even so, in this sweet atmosphere, Xu Xiao's expression didn't show any warmth.

"I don't really want to mention this to you, but since you asked, it's not a bad thing to tell you now." Xu Xiao lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, "In our business, many times, we encounter It's pure evil."

"Don't overestimate human nature." He lowered his head and smiled, his eyes full of wind and snow.

The author has something to say: Pei Jiuchuan: Xu Chu, tell me a bedtime story, okay qwq

Xu Xiao: (Indifferent face) Horror stories are okay?

Pei Jiuchuan: ...I fell asleep

☆, black and white (10)

The originally good lunch atmosphere was disturbed by Pei Jiuchuan's unintentional question.Neither of them had much interest in eating, and a good lunch ended hastily in the middle.However, before he even walked out of the store, Bureau Lin's series of deadly calls came one after another.

Xu Xiao didn't want to answer Lin Hu's call at first, but the other party showed extremely stubborn spirit.

After he silently turned off the phone, Pei Jiuchuan took out his cell phone which was ringing non-stop, glanced at the caller ID, handed the cell phone to his boss, and at the same time walked to the front desk to pay the bill very tactfully.

"You're quite courageous." As soon as the call was connected, Xu Xiao didn't give Lin Hu a chance to speak at all, "I found Mr. Pei here."

On the opposite side, Lin Hu prepared a lot of words, and just waited for Xu Xiao to answer the phone, and he was so busy talking.He never thought that Xu Xiao's reaction was much faster than his. Before he could say anything, he was robbed by the other party first, and he choked his mouth full of words, causing him to roll his eyes.

"I'm going out to have a small meeting, what are you messing around with!" Interrupted by such an interruption, Linhu couldn't remember a word of the words he had thought up earlier, so he went straight to the point, "You've missed the sky! Let me I'll bring you a basin at the bottom! Do you have a conscience!"

"No." Xu Xiao was still angry at Lin Hu for Pei Jiuchuan's matter, how could he feel sorry for Director Lin, "Who asked you to carry a basin to continue, wouldn't it be better for you to stand directly below and block your head?"

After three seconds of silence, Lin Hu kept reminding himself to pay attention to the identity of the chief, and not to be as knowledgeable as Xu Xiao.

"You can't hold me back with a basin, use your head to block me? Junior brother, do you have a crush on my position and hope that I will die early?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, Director Lin gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. "If you have nothing to do, just stay in the bureau and drink tea and read books, and don't go out to affect the study of the pillars of the motherland, okay?"

"If I stay in the bureau drinking tea and reading books every day, Bureau Lin, you will run out every day in fright." Xu Xiao had already guessed Lin Hu's real intention of making this call, and said to him in a serious manner, " How can I influence the study of the pillars of the motherland? If I want to influence, it is also influenced by Xiao Pei. He is good-looking, and girls can't walk when they see him."

Pei Jiuchuan, who was paying the bill, didn't know anything about the conversation here, and didn't even know that his boss had taken a big blame on himself in an understatement.

"You!" Seeing Xu Xiao's few words and a few words directing the disaster to someone he couldn't afford, Lin Hu felt that his hair, which was not much at all, had lost a few strands of anger again, "What do you want?"

"What can I do as a small director with no background and connections." Xu Xiao responded to him lightly, "Let me remind you, Mr. Pei is very concerned about this case."

There was another silence on the phone.

"Xu Xiao." When he spoke again, Lin Hu had already changed into a solemn tone, "You have to cheer up."

"Don't embarrass Xiao Pei too much." He spoke urgently and quickly, as if afraid of Xu Xiao hanging up the phone, "It's not a bad thing for him to stay with you, at least he can protect you when I can't protect you. Block one."

Xu Xiao didn't speak.

"Thank you." After a while, Lin Hu, who was holding his breath, finally heard the voice of the little junior brother. His voice was a little hoarse, probably because of the cold, "I've bothered you about my affairs."

When Pei Jiuchuan finished paying the bill and turned back, he saw his boss sitting on a chair with his arms crossed in a daze.

Those eyes that were originally as clear as a lake were now deep and faint, glowing with the dark light of the ancient well.

"Xu Chu?" He was startled, "What did Bureau Lin tell you?"

He stretched out his hand and tugged at Xu Xiao's sleeve, being intimate and natural like a big dog rubbing against its master.

"It's nothing." Xu Xiao, who was in a daze, was pulled back to reality by him, showing a tiredness on his face that Pei Jiuchuan had never seen before, "The school put pressure on us, and they don't want us to continue the investigation."

Sure enough, Pei Jiuchuan was attracted by this sentence, and didn't delve into his strangeness just now: "What do you mean? Isn't Xue Jiaming their teacher? No. [-] Middle School really doesn't care at all?"

"Why don't you care?" Xu Xiao laughed. "They are very concerned. They are afraid that what they find out will affect their students."

The impact of Xue Jiaming's death on No. [-] Middle School may not be as great as a city-wide mock exam.

"Let's go." He buttoned his coat to the top button meticulously, "Let's go see Principal Fang again."

This time, Xu Xiao did not forget to contact the school in advance.However, Principal Fang didn't seem to set aside time for the two of them.

Qin Hui stood awkwardly waiting at the school gate, and led the two police officers into the empty principal's office.

"Principal Fang is out for a meeting, and he'll be right back." He stood at the door, his face flushed, and he was still trying to explain to Fang Yuan, "It's a meeting in the city, and it's inconvenient for her to ask for leave."

"It's okay." Xu Xiao didn't care about this trivial trick, and he didn't make things difficult for Qin Hui. "Principal Fang trusts you very much, and I leave everything to you." He changed the subject and started talking to Qin Hui. Qin Hui was close.

"I just came here. I do more errands." Qin Hui scratched his head embarrassingly, and after a few seconds, he suddenly realized that he had unintentionally demoted Xu Xiao and Xu Xiao, and stammered his explanation ,"I did not mean anything else......"

Pei Jiuchuan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help laughing at his embarrassed appearance: "I said, Teacher Qin, relax, we don't know how to eat people."

Pei Jiuchuan completely forgot about the fact that he pissed off Qin Hui yesterday, it doesn't mean that the other party doesn't remember.Qin Hui glanced at him a little timidly, and hesitated: "But you...are here to arrest people."

"Oh?" Xu Xiao was aroused by his words, "Even we don't know who we are going to arrest, how did you know?"

With a smile on his face, he tilted his head slightly, waiting for the other party's answer.

The young male teacher suddenly became at a loss, stumbled for a long time, and finally managed to say a relatively complete sentence: "Officer Xu... You made such a big noise yesterday, the teachers will inevitably have thoughts in private... this Isn't it obvious?"

He glanced at Xu Xiao nervously, then lowered his head hastily.

"Then aren't you afraid?" Seeing him frightened like this, Pei Jiuchuan couldn't help thinking of teasing others, "Maybe the murderer is by your side, maybe he knows you very well, maybe you even ate in the cafeteria together, said Sometimes I even take a bus..."

Xu Xiao was still listening to Pei Jiuchuan with a smile on his face, but who knew that the more this bastard said, the more outrageous he became.Seeing that Qin Hui was about to faint from fright, he quickly stopped the lawless young master: "Okay, why are you scaring Mr. Qin? They provoked you, restrain yourself."

He spoke harshly, but his tone was not serious, obviously protecting Pei Jiuchuan.Qin Hui realized that the two of them were really fighting together, so he simply stood at the door and hid far away.

"Don't mind, Xiao Pei has become more lively." Xu Xiao glanced at him apologetically, "However, I also want to ask. Are you teachers really not interested in this matter?"

"Look at what you said, it sounds like we are so cold-blooded." Qin Hui smiled wryly, with a sad expression on his face, "Mr. It's not an accident, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"But we are in a mess, what should the students do?" He took off his glasses, wiped them clean with a breath, and put them back on. "They are now at the most important time in their lives, and there is no room for mistakes."

Qin Hui seemed to be deeply moved by this, and he didn't give Xu Xiao the chance to interject: "Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about the child who fainted yesterday. Her family is poor. How does she live with her mother? Sometimes it's not that we are unreasonable, the reality is like this, and no one can do anything about it."

Hearing Zhang Yiyi mentioned, Pei Jiuchuan's expression suddenly darkened.

"The two police officers have been waiting for a long time." Before Pei Jiuchuan could say anything, the door of the principal's office was pushed open.

Fang Yuan was still wearing the well-fitting suit from yesterday, and she still had a polite smile on her face: "I'm sorry, the people in the city will call for me to go, I can't come back halfway, I'm really sorry."

Xu Xiao actually didn't think this method of taking advantage of the situation to suppress people was very good. For a policeman like him who was used to seeing all kinds of people, it was useless at all.As for Pei Jiuchuan, this young master probably doesn't even know what it means to get off the horse...

Seeing that the two did not respond to her words, Fang Yuan was not embarrassed. After signaling Qin Hui to go out, she sat down on the chair behind the desk: "You two are here today, what do you want?"

She leaned forward slightly, assuming a serious questioning gesture.

"Principal Fang had something to do yesterday, so I didn't have time to explain it clearly to you." Xu Xiao nodded politely at her, "Our city bureau will investigate the death of Teacher Xue again."

"What does Officer Xu mean?" Fang Yuan frowned. "The sub-bureau has figured it out. Mr. Xue died of natural causes. Why do you still want to intervene in this matter?"

Her tone became severe, and her questioning tone was very obvious.

"Because we received a call from the police, and the caller claimed that Teacher Xue's death was not an accident." Xu Xiao didn't take her attitude to heart at all, and still spoke in a leisurely manner, "So during this period, we may have to trouble Principal Fang and you Cooperate with us."

"It's not suitable." Fang Yuan rarely showed an expression other than a smile. She raised her chin and looked at the two of them out of the corner of her eyes. "Do you know what time it is?"

"Ms. Xue teaches the sophomore year of high school. We won't affect the children who are going to take the college entrance examination." The smiling policeman didn't answer her directly, and blocked her back easily.

Fang Yuan hated this kind of soft-hearted person.

"Okay." She made a compromise, "Since you insist on doing this, our school will cooperate with you."

Principal Fang stood up, indicating that the conversation was over.

Xu Xiao was a little surprised at her giving in so easily, but the situation was in his favour, so he didn't need to say anything more.

Just as they were about to leave the principal's office, Fang Yuan said nonchalantly, "Officer Xu, I hope you don't make mistakes this time."

Pei Jiuchuan was startled, and subconsciously turned to look at his boss.

The man remained expressionless, ignored Fang Yuan, and closed the door indifferently.

The author has something to say: Pei Jiuchuan: Xu Chu... have you noticed something...

Xu Xiao:?

Pei Jiuchuan: It seems that I pay for every meal...

Xu Xiao: ... (silently turns and walks away)

Pei Jiuchuan: QAQ! Don't go!Salary card, private house money, and piggy bank are all for you! ! !return! ! !

☆, black and white (11)

Since the first spring rain, the pattering rain has not stopped, and the new green branches are added again and again, showing twelve points of vitality.

In the classroom, as if responding to the sound of rain outside the window, the tip of the pen fell on the paper, making a nice rustling sound.

"Student?" The invigilator noticed a girl lying motionless on the table, and couldn't help but suddenly asked, "Are you okay?"

Hearing the sound, the girl slowly raised her head from the table, her face was very pale.Facing the teacher's concerned gaze, she lowered her head again, and murmured, "Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom."

Seeing that she was fine, the teacher was really relieved: "Go, don't go for too long, there is still half an hour to collect the papers."

The girl clenched her hands in her pockets tightly, but the teacher didn't notice at all, her paper was blank, without writing a single word.

She dragged her heavy steps to the women's toilet, ran straight to the last cubicle, and locked herself inside with her backhand.

As soon as the compartment door was locked, tears fell from her eyes.The girl put her hand into her mouth and bit it hard, not letting herself make a sound.

The smell of blood soon diffused, probably the blood flowed into her throat, and her throat was also faintly sweet.

I don't know how long she cried, but in the end, she collapsed weakly in the cubicle, and she didn't fall down with the support of the door panel.

She raised her hands in front of her face, stared at the two rows of hideous teeth marks for a while, and then decisively hid her hands back in her sleeves.

Ten minutes later, she stood up unsteadily and walked towards the window.

"Student Yao! Don't jump!" Standing at the bottom of the teaching building, Qu Qi directed the panicked teachers and classmates to come over with mats, and shouted upstairs, "I know you are sad! But you have to cheer up!"

Yao Qing, who was sitting straddling the window sill, acted as if he hadn't heard his words, staring blankly at the front, his thin body was dangling in the wind, and might fall off at any moment.

Her pale face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red from crying.

"I'll go up and have a look." Tong Xiaoge stomped her feet. It didn't take long to process the surveillance video. She easily got a clear frontal photo of the girl.Just after contacting the school and confirming Yao Qing's identity, who knows that on the way here, he learned the news that the girl was going to jump off the building.

She ran upstairs in three steps at a time, praying silently in her heart that the girl would not be stupid.

"Kick away all the irrelevant students, don't let them join in the fun!" Looking at the group of people blocking the door, Tong Xiaoge was very annoyed, "Go back to the classroom, what's so interesting!"

The crowd made a noise, but Yao Qing still didn't respond.

She sat blankly, as if what was left here was just a young girl's body.

"Yao Qing, I'm from the Municipal Bureau." Tong Xiaoge stood at the door, not daring to get too close to her, "Can I come in?"

The girl didn't make a sound, the wind was blowing her long hair, almost blowing her off.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Tong Xiaoge quietly moved a few steps in her direction.Yao Qing didn't seem to notice her small movements, and he still stared blankly, not knowing what he was looking at.

"I know what happened to Mr. Xue has hit you hard." Tong Xiaoge tried to avoid mentioning sensitive words, and slowly leaned towards Yao Qing, "But you have to think about it, if Mr. Xue knew that you did this, he would Will you be sad?"

Yao Qing still didn't respond, as if she couldn't hear others at all.

The wind blew the rain on her face, the spring rain that should have been soft, but it was painful when it hit her face.

Just when Tong Xiaoge was about to move to the position where she could reach the girl's arm, Yao Qing, who had been dazed all this time, turned his face away.

She stared at the policewoman, showing a faint smile.

----

"Xu Chu! Wait for me!" After leaving the principal's office, Xu Xiao walked ahead without saying a word.Even though Pei Jiuchuan had long legs, it was a bit difficult to keep up with him.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't, or I'll send you to sweep the director's office right away." The man didn't mean to slow down at all, he was still walking like flying, and his tone was very cold.

"..." Pei Jiuchuan didn't dare to hit his gun. Most of the police officers in the bureau have never seen Xu Xiao turn his back on him, and he saw something wrong with him twice on the second day of work. I really don't know Should I say lucky or unlucky.

He had no choice but to keep up with the opponent in great strides.

Ten seconds later, Pei Jiuchuan and Xu Xiao, who had no time to brake, bumped into each other abruptly.

"Hiss..." The defenseless young master was so painful that he was about to burst into tears, but he couldn't get angry with his boss, so he could only give him a wronged look.

Xu Xiao ignored him, and his eyes fell on the two people not far away.

It was Jiang Yue and Qin Hui.

In his impression, Pei Jiuchuan always thought that the little girl Jiang Yue was a copy of Fang Yuan, with the same reserved smile, the calmness engraved in his bones, and the arrogance that could not be concealed.

It stands to reason that this kind of young girl who matured early would not easily turn against others.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yue glared at Qin Hui. Compared with her previous posture, it could be said that she was furious.

Jiang Yue's expression was not good, and Qin Hui's expression was not much better.This young man who was trembling in front of the police just now was staring at his student with a gloomy face. Pei Jiuchuan could even see the veins protruding from his forehead.

"Jiang Yue, I hope you think about it, this is your own future." Qin Hui was finally defeated in this confrontation, and he let out a long breath, "You should know how my level is. , now the competition is less than a month away, you'd better be cautious."

He spoke sincerely, but Jiang Yue didn't even give him a straight look.The girl turned her head and said coldly: "I've thought about it, it's better for me to learn by myself, your teaching method is not suitable for me."

When she turned her head, she happened to see Xu Xiao and the two of them.She raised the corner of her mouth as a greeting, and then warned Qin Hui directly in front of the two policemen: "I hope Teacher Qin will stop disturbing me in the future. If you do this, it will affect my state."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Qin Hui's dark face and walked away directly.

"Hey, Teacher Qin, what's the situation?" Seeing that the boss didn't make a sound, Pei Jiuchuan said consciously, "Is there anything in this world that can make that little girl so angry? You didn't violate the school rules by secretly chasing Jiang Yue , want to engage in some teacher-student romance?"

"Don't make such jokes with me anymore." Before Qin Hui recovered from the conflict just now, he was so aggrieved by Pei Jiuchuan's teasing, "Do you think I look like this kind of person? "

Probably really angry, his tone was still a little stiff.

"What's going on?" Seeing his uneasy expression, Pei Jiuchuan didn't continue to make trouble, "I think you're almost out of breath."

The young male teacher showed a bitter smile, then shook his head: "I'm really mad at her."

"Maybe all good students are rebellious." Qin Hui sighed, "There will be a competition soon, and I have to learn by myself. I hate the teacher's level. Yes, there are geniuses among the students, but geniuses are very few. I really don't understand Why is she so confident in herself?"

It took a long time because of grades.Pei Jiuchuan was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, in No. [-] Middle School, it seemed that only grades could make teachers and students furious.

Here, human lives may not be as important as scores.

"If you offend Jiang Yue, you're not afraid that her family will make things difficult for you." Xu Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Her parents' officials are not small."

"If it's difficult, it's difficult." Qin Hui shrugged, "I'm also doing it for her own good, and it's fine if she doesn't appreciate it. Anyway, my level is there, and I can eat everywhere I go."

This shy male teacher smiled proudly when he mentioned his professional level.He was able to follow the headmaster at such a young age, and he had something special to think about.

Before Xu Xiao could respond, the phone rang.

"Boss!" Hearing Qu Qi's anxious voice, his heart skipped a beat.

"Something happened to the little pigeon! Come here quickly!"

Municipal People's Hospital.

"What's going on?" Xu Xiao's face darkened uncommonly, and the little policeman guarding the hospital gate trembled in fright.He replied tremblingly: "Little Pigeon fell from upstairs, please ask Qu Qi for details, he is over there in the operating room."

Outside the operating room, Qu Qi, who was visibly more irritable than usual, was pacing back and forth in the corridor. When he saw Xu Xiao and the others coming up, he hurried to greet them.

"Why did the good little girl fall down the stairs?" Without waiting for him to explain, Xu Xiao's words hit his head and face, "How dare you stand here for me with all the spare parts?"

He spoke very loudly, Qu Qi had been with him for a long time, and he had never seen such a big anger in so many years.

"That child is going to jump off the building." Qu Qi frowned tightly, pointing in the direction of the operating room, "Little Pigeon dragged her back and fell down by herself."

At the door of the operating room, a girl stood there, motionless.Half of her body was soaked, and her hair was sticking to her face in a mess.

She stared at the door of the operating room, as if to stare through the heavy door.

"Is it the one in the surveillance?" Even though he recognized Yao Qing's face, Xu Xiao still asked. Qu Qi looked at the gloomy boss and nodded silently without daring to speak out.

Before he could react, Xu Xiao walked directly towards the girl.

The person had already stood beside Yao Qing, but she still stood there quietly as if she didn't know anything.Xu Xiao stared at her profile for a while, then suddenly sneered.

Both Qu Qi and Pei Jiuchuan froze.

"Listen well." Xu Xiao's clear voice was clearly distinguishable in the quiet corridor, "I don't care whether you cherish your own life or not, it's your choice if you want to die, don't drag others into the water."

"Especially," he paused every word, "don't hurt those who complain about Xue Jiaming."

The author has something to say: Pei Jiuchuan: Xu Chu...you are so fierce today...

Xu Xiao: Oh.

Pei Jiuchuan: qaq

Xu Xiao: ... (reaches out and rubs his head)

Pei Jiuchuan: mua!

☆, black and white (12)

The operation didn't take long. After waiting at the door for about two hours, Tong Xiaoge, who was still under anesthesia, was pushed out.

"It's not a big problem." The doctor took off the mask. "The mat helped her relieve some of the strength. She will be fine after a few weeks of rest."

Tong Xiaoge, who was lying on the cart, fell asleep with her eyes closed, showing a rare tranquility.Xu Xiao was used to her lively appearance, so when he first saw her so silent, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Thank you." He said in a low voice.

The three policemen followed the nurses to send Tong Xiaoge to the ward. Yao Qing kept a distance of two steps away from them and kept biting tightly behind them.

"I'm sorry." She stood at the door with her hands tied, watching them settle Tong Xiaoge, and suddenly said this.

It would be unrealistic to say that Yao Qing was not angry.But Xu Xiao is not a person who is not clear-headed. He tucked the quilt for the little pigeon lying on the hospital bed, and pointed to another empty hospital bed: "Sit down."

Pei Jiuchuan and Qu Qi obediently stood aside, trying to minimize their presence.

After a period of unbearable silence, Yao Qing couldn't hold his breath: "Are you investigating my father's affairs?"

She twisted her hands together, glanced at the sleeping Tong Xiaoge, then turned her gaze to Xu Xiao.

"You and Xue Jiaming are father and daughter?" Sensing her gaze, Xu Xiao didn't look at her, "Your name is not in his household registration book."

The girl flinched. For some reason, her pale face reminded Pei Jiuchuan who was standing beside him of another person.

They look at the world in horror, always like frightened chicks.

"Is he your biological father?" Xu Xiao, who was relieved, realized that there was only an underage child in front of him, and his tone softened, "Where is your mother?"

"No...we are not related by blood..." Yao Qing bit his lip, with blood oozing faintly, "Dad is a volunteer in the orphanage"

She quickly shrank to the innermost part of the hospital bed: "I don't know where my biological parents are."

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly dropped to freezing point.

What's funny is that when Xu Xiao heard her words, the first thing that popped into Xu Xiao's mind was the picture of Qin Hui telling him that Xue Jiaming was making a fuss over five yuan.

Although the young male teacher had a serious expression, he still couldn't hide a trace of contempt.In this era when money is worthless, who would care about five dollars?

Qin Hui's face flashed and changed into Xue Jiaming's nondescript face. He gave Yao Qing all the meat, and smiled cautiously, trying to give the girl the money in his hand.

Xu Xiao's chest choked.

"Sorry." He looked up apologetically, "I was the one who was abrupt."

Yao Qing shook her head, indicating that she didn't take Xu Xiao's attitude to heart.

She clutched the bed sheet, her voice trembling: "Why?"

Even she herself didn't know what question this short question pointed to, she just wanted to ask, why?

Tears hit the clean floor one by one, making an inaudible sound.

"Did you make that call to the police?" Pei Jiuchuan said suddenly, staring at her crying face.

Xu Xiao and Qu Qi looked at him at the same time.

The person who spoke was still standing there in a daze, and opened his mouth, as if he was a little surprised that the words just came out of his own mouth.

Pei Jiuchuan didn't know why he said such a sentence without thinking at all. He seemed to be just...following the tongue?

He made a decisive decision and turned to Xu Xiao for help.

However, the boss has no plans to smooth things over for him, or in other words, there is no need to smooth things over for him.

Yao Qing sat on the hospital bed, shaking very violently, and her slender knuckles turned white from too much force.She didn't dare to look up at the policeman in front of her, so she could only bury her head deeply, deceiving herself to avoid the other's inquiring eyes.

At this time, if you can't see what's going on, then you are really blind.Qu Qi glanced at Xu Xiao, and seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting, he said, "Student Yao, do you know something?"

When he asked such a question, Yao Qing trembled even more.Even if Pei Jiuchuan was far away from her, he could still see tears falling down.

"If you know anything, please tell us." Qu Qi's tone became serious, and he took a strong dose of medicine, "You don't want Mr. Xue to die of injustice, do you?"

This sentence was obviously a bit too much, Yao Qing panted heavily.When she cried, she barely made a sound, but she squeezed her hand into her palm fiercely. Looking at the momentum, she was afraid that she might pinch herself to bleed before giving up.

"Don't hurt yourself anymore, Xue Jiaming doesn't want you to be like this now." Xu Xiao motioned Qu Qi not to say any more, he stood up, and lightly patted the girl on the shoulder twice.

"We are helping your father, you have to trust us."

Xu Xiao was that kind of person, when the same words came out of his mouth, for some reason, he was a little more reliable and stable than others.He seems to be born with a talent for comforting people, and he almost rarely misses.

After being persuaded by him, Yao Qing's trembling became smaller.

She covered her face and cried a few times from her fingers: "I don't know."

Yao Qing didn't lie, she really didn't know anything.

The news of Xue Jiaming's death was received on Friday.

She has lived in an orphanage since she was a child. It is said to be an orphanage, but it is actually a private welfare institution with incomplete procedures.The old director was a kind-hearted person. After retirement, he used the money he had saved all his life to run this small-scale orphanage.

There are not many children in the orphanage, and they have been maintained at a level of more than ten.Often a child is adopted here, and another baby is found at the door there.

Yao Qing was one of the babies placed at the door.

Her first memory begins here.

The government didn't give the old director much subsidy. Over the years, it was often through social relief that a dozen children survived.But Yao Qing didn't feel bitter, without the old director, without this orphanage, she would have been picked up and eaten by some wild dogs long ago.

The old dean had read a few books when he was young, so he could barely be regarded as a cultural person. Although a bottle is often full and half of the bottle dangles, it is enough to teach these children.He often sat at the base of the wall with a scrolled booklet and taught a group of little bean dings to recite the moonlight before their beds.

"You should study hard." After they finished reciting the poems in a childlike voice, the old dean would always smile and stroke their heads one by one, "Study well, and you will be successful when you grow up."

Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, almost all the children in the courtyard have finished junior high school.Yao Qing is smart, among so many children, she is the only one who was admitted to the high school in the city.

On the day when the notice was delivered, the old dean was so happy that his mouth was closed from ear to ear, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and he repeatedly praised Yao Qing: "You are promising! I thought you were a smart kid since I was a child!"

Happiness is happiness, that night, she saw the old dean behind his back, wiping tears secretly by himself.

Even if the old dean didn't say anything, Yao Qing knew it in his heart.The situation in the orphanage is getting worse and worse, and the younger brothers and sisters are the ones who have food first.She herself often eats a meal when she is hungry, and she has food but no food or water.
