what the murderer wants to do

Seeing the two female teachers crying together, the remaining male teacher looked a little embarrassed.

"What about you? No one can prove that you are not there?" The frightened Wang Zhiheng decisively turned his target to him, "What's your name?"

Hearing Wang Zhiheng's gruff question, the frail male teacher glanced at him nervously: "Qin...Qin Hui."

"Teacher Qin, how is your relationship with Xue Jiaming?" Seeing the male teacher trembling, Dui Wang decided that he had a ghost in his heart, "Is there any holiday?"

When he asked, Qin Hui was about to cry.This policeman looked ferocious, much scarier than those two two days ago.

"I... I haven't been here for a long time. What can I have with him?"

With a sad face, he said, "I have an alibi! If you come tomorrow, I will have it tomorrow!"

Wang Bold was taken aback when he heard the words. He has been a policeman for so many years, but he has never heard of someone who failed to prove it on the first day and could prove his alibi the next day.

I'm afraid it wasn't the murderer who was interrogated and messed up?

He stared at Qin Hui aggressively.

"Captain Wang." Fang Yuan, who had been silent by the side, opened her mouth to relieve Qin Hui.

"Mr. Qin was tutoring a student competition that day, and today the child went out to take a mock test in the city, and he will come back to class tomorrow." She smiled, "You don't mind coming back tomorrow, do you?"

Her tone was firm, and there was no question at all.

"Since Principal Fang said so...then there must be no problem." Wang Zhiheng laughed a few times, and couldn't help but replied, "You are really kind to the teacher."

Fang Yuan was noncommittal.

"Thank you principal." After Wang Zhiheng left, everyone in the office had left, leaving only Fang Yuan and Qin Hui.

"You don't have to thank me. If you are really not there, Jiang Yue will testify for you."

Fang Yuan pushed her glasses: "I know that child's temperament. Although the two of you have misunderstood a bit recently, she will tell the truth in major matters and will not harm you."

Qin Hui smiled wryly: "I hope, who knows why this happened all of a sudden, it's really frustrating."

He nodded slightly to the principal: "I'm leaving first, there is still a class to attend."

After he left, Fang Yuan stood alone in the office and let out a breath of foul air slowly.

She really didn't want to admit that there would be a murderer in her school.

Who is the one?She walked to the window and looked at the playground in silence.

On the playground, the evergreen trees are still full of vitality. Standing here, it is difficult to find a rotten leaf from the charming green.

The author has something to say: Wang Daudao: I want to ask for marriage with words, there are no other conditions, don't be a crybaby.

Xu Xiao, Pei Jiuchuan: ...

☆, black and white (16)

Yaojiang Municipal Bureau.

Xu Xiao studied that video recorder for a long time, and finally found a faded label at the bottom.

A very common label, often found on books in old-fashioned libraries.Now, of course, its use is not to mark a book, but to indicate its source.

"Second photographic equipment." The ink on the label was blurred, and he squinted for a long time before he could see it clearly.

It seems that this video recorder is not Xue Jiaming's own property, but he rented it from a photographic equipment store.

It's not surprising that people have hobbies. The second generation like Pei Jiuchuan likes to make movies, and they can buy equipment and rent venues for hundreds of thousands of dollars.Xue Jiaming didn't have so much money, so it was understandable to rent one.

But the question is, where is the tape?

His tapes are neatly arranged, and the worn-out tape recorder is reluctant to throw away.According to this style of work, the videotapes should also be carefully packed up, sealed with paper, and put together with the video recorder.

"Maybe he just started to be interested and only rented a video recorder?" Pei Jiuchuan naturally couldn't sleep after being tormented like this. He stood beside Xu Xiao with yawns and tears in his eyes.

"He will not."

With Xue Jiaming's way of life that counts every dollar, he must spend the money after careful consideration.Young Master Pei can just buy something and put it at home to collect ashes, but Mr. Xue will never do that.

He rented this video recorder, there must be some reason why he must rent it.

Holding the heavy VCR, Xu Xiao slowly frowned.

Chen Lao Er has been having a rough time recently.

In this era where everyone has a smartphone and small WeChat videos are flying all over the sky, opening a second-hand photographic equipment store is obviously not a good choice to make money.

He crouched behind the counter, counting the bills for the month.

After adding and subtracting, he found to his dismay that once again he seemed to be stuck in a situation where he could not make ends meet.

"It's been two weeks, why haven't you returned the phone!"

Although he said so, Chen Laoer still didn't expect that dull man to return the video recorder.The deposit he collected was [-] times the original price of the machine, plus the extra rental fee. If the man didn't come to pay it back, he would be paid by Chen Laoer.

Just when he was happily thinking about how much deposit he should deduct if the man came to return the phone as compensation for the late return, the store door was pushed open.

A slightly thin man came in. He didn't hold an umbrella, and his forehead hair was slightly wet with the rain, making it look a little messy.

Business is on the way.Chen Laoer's face remained motionless, but he was secretly happy.This person is easy to fool just by looking at his appearance. If he doubles the price casually, the other party probably won't be able to tell.

As soon as Xu Xiao entered the door, he saw the smile of "If I don't kill you, I lose" on the boss's face.

With such an uncomfortable smile, he walked to the counter and took out his ID.

The other party's smile disappeared immediately.

"Comrade policeman, I am a law-abiding citizen." Chen Laoer rolled his eyes, "All I sell here are serious photographic equipment and video tapes, which are absolutely in line with socialist values."

After finishing speaking, he glanced inside uncontrollably.

Xu Xiao was too lazy to take care of other things, just pretending that he didn't see the boss's little tricks.

"Is this from your store?" He put the paper bag in his hand on the counter and took out the video recorder from it.

Chen Laoer recognized the things he rented out at a glance.At that moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind: "Comrade policeman, this is in our store, but this store is only responsible for renting out, and does not interfere with customer use."

Judging by his appearance, he probably regarded Xu Xiao as an anti-pornography and anti-illegal agent.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to investigate this." The policeman in front of him smiled faintly, "Did this man rent it?"

He pushed the phone in front of Old Chen.

The man's dull face took up half of the screen. Compared with the last time Chen Laoer saw him, he was less depressed and more numb and indifferent.

Based on the principle of picking himself out, Chen Laoer nodded without hesitation.

"He only rented this one?"

The boss nodded again.

This dull man broke into the store in a hurry two weeks ago.

Originally, Chen Laoer was planning to close the shop and go home, but suddenly a customer came, and he naturally greeted him enthusiastically, not letting go of any opportunity to make money, and was ready to slaughter the other party.

However, the man seemed not interested in other things, and only asked him if there was a machine that could play this kind of video tape.

The man took out a regular-sized video tape from his pocket, and waved it in front of Chen Laoer with some hesitation.

Realizing that he could only earn the rent of one video recorder, Chen Laoer was very depressed.But a dollar is still money, not to mention that he has always only quoted a higher price, even if the other party haggles the price in half, he will not be the one who suffers.

Unexpectedly, the man paid the deposit and rent without any intention of haggling.Then he left the shop as if fleeing for his life.

"It seems like if I stay for a while, I'm going to rob him of his money." Older Chen blinked his eyes, and he still couldn't figure it out, renting a video recorder, how could he scare that person like this?

Listening to the boss's vivid description, Xu Xiao frowned even tighter.

According to the boss's wishes, before Xue Jiaming watched the video, he probably already realized that there was something bad in it.That's why I'm so nervous.

Where did Xue Jiaming get the videotape from?

What's on that tape?

Where is the tape now?

A series of questions popped up one after another, occupying Xu Xiao's thoughts.

But doubts are better than nothing, at least for now, videotape is a new direction.

"Comrade...this machine..." Seeing the policeman's face turned down and he didn't speak, Chen Lao Er struggled in his heart for a while, and finally opened his mouth.

"We have to keep it, sorry."

yeah!Chen Lao Er was overjoyed in his heart, but he had to force his composure on his face, and he had already figured out what to do with the money.

That unlucky guy, he must have been caught secretly filming a small movie.He was still gloating after sending the police away, which was really exciting.

"Where are you at Xu?" Wang Zhiheng pushed open the door of 203, but saw no one else, only the little policeman who was following Xu Xiao, sitting on the table alone, yelling at a tape recorder.

Pei Jiuchuan had just put in a new tape and hadn't had time to press the play button.Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, which startled him a lot.

"...He's gone out." Seeing that the person who came was not Xu Xiao, Pei Jiuchuan turned his head uninterested.

He's just a little sleepy, why don't you take him out?He won't hold back!

Feeling that he was abandoned, the young master was full of displeasure, and pressed the play button viciously.

Wang Zhiheng was dumbfounded. The first two times he saw that the child was quite obedient. Could it be that his temper was suppressed next to Xu Xiao, and his true nature was exposed when he left the boss?

It's none of his business anyway, Wang boldly pushed the thought out of his mind.

"Then wait for him to come back and tell him that there is nothing to gain today." Xu Xiao was not there, and Wang Zhiheng was too lazy to waste time, so he was about to close the door and leave after giving the order.

"Wait a minute—" Before he could take half a step, he was stopped.

The little policeman looked at him suspiciously: "No gain? But our Xu Chu said you are very good."

Wang Zhiheng: "..."

Is this praising him or hurting him?

"That's it." Wang Bold, who had a rare good temper, sat across from Pei Jiuchuan, and told him what happened in No. [-] Middle School today.

"Is it what they say?" The young master raised his own doubts, "Will this alibi be too hasty?"

Wang Zhiheng shrugged: "Unfortunately, most teachers have witnesses from at least one class." He wanted to be hasty, but can this be hasty?

"That is to say, the murderer is among the four teachers who have no alibi?"

"Maybe three." Wang Zhiheng corrected him, "The alibi of one of the teachers will not be confirmed until tomorrow."

What's more, he didn't say this sentence, and this kind of inquiry only narrowed the scope as much as possible, and it couldn't completely prove that the rest of the people were innocent.If he really wanted to, and with a little coincidence, Xue Jiaming could be dealt with in only 5 minutes.

Without monitoring, how could he be meticulous enough to check for 5 minutes?

Pei Jiuchuan didn't know what was going on in Wang Daudao's mind, and his interest was attracted by his last sentence: "Tomorrow will be sure?"

"Yes." Wang Zhiheng leaned back on the chair and stretched comfortably, "There is a teacher's witness who is not at school today, so we can only ask tomorrow."

Pei Jiuchuan nodded knowingly.

The two of them sat in the conference room without any topic, and felt awkward for a while.

After listening to one tape, Pei Jiuchuan changed to the last one.At this time, he suddenly remembered the blind date that Wang boldly mentioned in the morning.

He glanced at the other party: "Captain Wang, I want to ask you something."

"You said."

The little policeman jumped down from the table, approached him, and asked very seriously, "Why do Xu Chu's blind dates go to you?"

If he was beaten to death, would Xu Xiao settle accounts with him?Wang Zhiheng stared at the opponent's face, trying to restrain himself with reason.

"Because I'm more handsome than him." After feeling that the desire to beat someone had gradually subsided, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his throat.

Judging by the other person's expression, he probably...doesn't believe it at all.

What should he say?Wang Zhiheng thought in grief and indignation, do you have to say that the older sister in the system introduced Xu Xiao to someone better?He also couldn't figure it out, since he was taller than Xu Xiao and had a better figure than Xu Xiao, why didn't the elder sisters introduce him more partners?

"No way." When he was sad, he heard the little policeman muttering to himself.

"Why not?" Consciously losing face, Wang boldly gritted his teeth.He was about to attack the opponent, but found that the little policeman's attention was not on his side at all.

Pei Jiuchuan rewound the tape to the beginning and played it again.Then he rummaged around on the table for something.

"What's the matter?" Wang Zhiheng was a little confused, although he couldn't understand what the tape was playing, it was really ugly.Is this kid only reacting now?

"One, two, three, four..." Pei Jiuchuan counted the tapes in his hand, and then slowly moved his gaze to the tape recorder.

"The tape is missing." He stared at the recorder and said word by word.

The author has something to say: Pei Jiuchuan: Xu Chu doesn't take me when he goes out QAQ

Xu Xiao: ...I want you to rest for a while

Pei Jiuchuan: Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮

Wang Bold: You two are enough! ! !

☆, black and white (17)

When Xu Xiao returned to the bureau with the news that "one video tape was indeed missing", he was very surprised to be told that one tape was also missing.

"Probably one set." Pei Jiuchuan, who was left by him to rest in the game, his face was a little pale, but his eyes were shining brightly, "The content of the fourth set and the sixth set cannot be connected. Counting the parts, there should be a tape."

After speaking, he looked at his boss expectantly.

Xu Xiao is no stranger to this look.

Xue Ruina from the opposite door would occasionally drop by to hold a newspaper for him, and when he ran up to him, there was such a coquettish look of courting caressing and praising in his bright black eyes.

Really... He laughed secretly in his heart, and then suddenly realized that it would be inappropriate to put the young master and Serena together.

"Good job." He praised.

Then I saw Pei Jiuchuan showing a "hehehe, I'm praised" expression.

Wang Zhiheng couldn't be bothered to watch the big and small play out in front of his colleagues, so he briefly explained the situation to Xu Xiao again, emphasizing that he must meet the new blind date in the next month, and then put oil on the soles of his feet to prepare leave.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Xu Xiao had seen that he wanted to slip away, so he blocked the door first, "I still have something to ask you."

Wang Boldly recited three times in his heart, "Today's humiliation is for tomorrow's wife", and he barely resisted the urge to hate the other party.

"Come on, okay? I haven't eaten properly all day." He leaned against the table angrily, staring at Xu Xiao with his eagle eyes.

Xu Xiao was not in a hurry, got up and poured himself a cup of tea, put another cup into Pei Jiuchuan's hand, stared at the other party to finish drinking, and then slowly turned to Wang Zhiheng: "When you first went to the scene, did you have any special circumstances? "

Wang Zhiheng is tall and burly, and his face and body are also unified in style, both of which are rough and cut with knives and axes.Therefore, when the expression of "serious thinking" appeared on his face, it inevitably did not match his personal style.

Pei Jiuchuan bit his empty teacup, trying to suppress his smile.

"Unfortunately, I don't think I can really help you on this point." Just when Pei Jiuchuan was about to lose his hold, Wang Zhiheng ended his thinking, "To be honest, that scene is as good as any heart attack. There is no difference in the scene.”

When he rushed to the scene that day, he even wanted to say, can you call 120 for this kind of thing? 110 can't help it either.

Who knew that after a week, it was really time for them to appear.

Xu Xiao nodded. He believed in Wang Zhiheng's level. Wang boldly said that there was no problem at the scene, so basically there would be no special situation.

In other words, the murderer did not leave any obvious openings.

"I said Xu Chu, do you know what's in your mind now?" Wang Zhiheng looked at the video recorder he brought back, then at the tape on the table, and grinned at him maliciously.

"I have a lot of people who are on your blind date." Facing Wang Bold's gloating eyes, Xu Xiao smiled.

After sending away Wang Zhiheng who wanted to hug his thigh to admit his mistake, he once again praised Pei Jiuchuan with the idea of ​​encouraging newcomers.

"Why did you think of listening to the tape?" Xu Xiao smiled, "It's a good idea."

Pei Jiuchuan couldn't stand his faint smile, and immediately showed a brighter smile: "I have nothing to do here, and I want to hear how he sings."

It's not that he is modest, that's what the young master thinks in his heart.

Qu Qi was staying in the hospital, and his boss left him alone. Pei Jiuchuan, who felt abandoned, walked up and down the police station for a long time, and was finally politely sent back to the conference room by the Forest Bureau.

Of course, Lin Hu's words sounded nice: "Xiao Pei, don't run around. There are many young lesbians in the bureau, and you make such a mess that the little girl can't work hard."

"Like you Xu Chu, you always stay in the office and never come out to provoke people." Looking at Pei Jiuchuan's expression, he added another sentence.

After hearing this, of course the young master obediently went back by himself.

He was the only one in the conference room, looking around, he was staring at Xue Jiaming's tape.

Pei Jiuchuan pressed the play button, and Teacher Xue's voice came out of the recorder again.

At first there was background music, but later it was completely the man himself humming.

Although his tune was completely out of tune and his pronunciation was vague, it could be heard that he was singing happily.

Pei Jiuchuan couldn't help drawing an image of Xue Jiaming in his mind, a man who was not popular with his colleagues, lived a simple life, was kind-hearted, and had a little hobby under his dull appearance.

He is now lying in a small urn, silent forever.

"Wang Dui was talking to me. I was distracted. I didn't catch it at first." Pei Jiuchuan looked at his boss's expression, and seeing that the other party was still smiling, he continued, "After listening to it, the plot couldn't be connected. .”

"The previous few tapes were enough to sing, and I didn't pick out a single scene to sing." He considered his words, "So I think someone took a tape."

After speaking, he stared at Xu Xiao nervously.

Regarding the magnetic tape, it can be big or small.Lost a tape, maybe it's not a big deal.

He just wanted to prove to the other party that he...wouldn't hold back.

So don't leave him alone again.

After all, Xu Xiao had ten years more food than Pei Jiuchuan, what the young master was thinking, he naturally guessed eight or nine.

This child...he thought helplessly, what did Lin Hu say earlier?Young master Pei may have been spoiled a bit, but is it not that he is ignorant of world affairs?

Now it's almost time to write all the words in my heart on my face.

"You've done a good job." Even though he was thinking that he couldn't get used to Pei Jiuchuan, his words changed, "None of us are as thoughtful as you think."

Pei Jiuchuan's eyes lit up suddenly.

His eyes were originally born clear, but looking at them now, there is a kind of scorching brilliance.

Xu Xiao turned his eyes away.

"Based on what we know so far, the videotapes that Xue Jiaming watched may have a lot to do with his death."

Xu Xiao walked to the whiteboard and wrote down the words videotape.

It is said that his writing is like the person, but his writing is not the type of graceful and clear.He wrote very quickly, almost in one go, hiding his irresistible spirit.

"He paid a lot of money, which was a lot of money for him, to rent the video recorder, which shows that the content of this video tape is very important."

Xu Xiao remembered Chen's second description: "He was very flustered at the time, and he probably already knew what was in the video tape."

What could make him so panic-stricken?

His handle?Someone else's handle?Or something else shady?

"The video tape is gone now. If the murderer took the video tape away, it proves that there is something in it that is not good for the murderer."

"Boss." Pei Jiuchuan rested his head on his hands and stared at the whiteboard, "Is the videotape at his parents' place?"

"I don't think his parents think the videotape is valuable." Thinking of Xue's mother's ugliness, Xu Xiao frowned. "Based on how much Xue Jiaming attaches importance to the videotape, I'm more inclined for him to carry the videotape with him."

But not in the office.

"If it's such an important thing, why does he have to read it in the office?" The young master still couldn't figure it out, "Even if it's an office for each person, it's not convenient for him to read it at home, right?"

What Pei Jiuchuan said made sense. If it was a private video, it would be more appropriate to watch it at home.

At the same time, Xu Xiao also considered another possibility. Xue Jiaming took the video recorder to school to return it on the way home from get off work.

But Chen Laoer's shop is not far from Xue Jiaming's home, on the contrary, it is some distance away from No. [-] Middle School.Even if Xue Jiaming intends to return the VCR, it should be convenient to take it directly from home, and there is no such thing as taking the VCR to school.

Moreover, the due date recorded in Chen's second account book was last Friday, two days after Xue Jiaming's accident.

Then there is only one possibility left.

"He took the VCR to school so he could watch it with someone."

Xu Xiao said lightly, and at the same time added an X on the whiteboard.

Staring at this X, he still has doubts in his heart.

Even if you want to watch a video with X, why don't you call him to your house?Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to walk around the city with a video recorder at school?

Home is obviously more private than school.

Private... His heart suddenly tugged.

Yes, it is precisely because of privacy that we cannot watch it at home.

The school is a public place, if something happens, Xue Jiaming will have the opportunity to ask for help immediately.

But at home, with the door closed, he had no chance to call for help.

Thinking of this, his face involuntarily sank.

Xue Jiaming had long foreseen the possible danger and was prepared for it.

But he died anyway, and he died of a heart attack.

Pei Jiuchuan watched his face gradually turn dark. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask for a while, so he could only stare at the other party innocently.

Probably the young master's eyes were too hot, and it didn't take long for Xu Xiao to notice the other party's gaze.

"This X is probably the murderer." He didn't want to explain further, and directly threw his deduction to Pei Jiuchuan.

Pei Jiuchuan: ...Is it so jumpy?

What was in that videotape that made Xue Jiaming so cautious, but why did he lose his life in the end?

Xu Xiao stared at the words on the whiteboard, thoughtful.

Where is that tape?Is it a coincidence?

Maybe, but now he dare not bet his life on the word coincidence.

Seeing his boss sitting there silently, Pei Jiuchuan felt that the man in front of him was a little strange.

Xu Xiao's expression was not as warm as usual, he sat there quietly, his brows were stern, like a knife waiting to be unsheathed.

The author has something to say: Wang Bold: You are too used to that little policeman.

Xu Xiao: Yes.

Wang Bold: You buy him medicine!

Xu Xiao: Yes.

Wang Bold: You pour him tea!

Xu Xiao: Yes.

Wang Bold: You...what are you planning!

Xu Xiao: I think he likes me.

Pei Jiuchuan: QWQ

☆, black and white (18)

Pei Jiuchuan had a dream.

In the dream, Xu Xiao took him and Qu Qi to the hospital to see the little pigeon, but he was the only one left.

He could hear the patient's painful groans, family members' loud conversations, and even smell the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.But he just couldn't see anyone.

He ran around aimlessly, calling Xu Xiao's name as he walked.

But no one answered.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a ward appeared in front of his eyes.

Pei Jiuchuan vaguely felt that the little pigeon should live in this ward.

The door was ajar, and opened with a slight push.

There was a person lying on the hospital bed, and from Pei Jiuchuan's perspective, he couldn't see the other person's face.He had to go forward.

"Xu Chu?"

He looked at Xu Xiao with his eyes closed in disbelief. The man's body was full of tubes, lying there motionless, his face so pale that it was almost transparent.

"Impossible!" Pei Jiuchuan panicked instantly, and at the same time, various instruments beside the bed sounded harsh alarms.

On the bedside, under his desperate gaze, the picture on the ECG monitor suddenly turned into a straight line without ups and downs.

He woke up.

The cold sweat on his back almost soaked his pajamas, he stared blankly at the ceiling, and it took him a while to recover.

It's a dream, Pei Jiuchuan told himself, it's all fake.

Despite this, the pain in the chest spread from the dream to reality, and the soreness was smoldering in the apex of the heart, throbbing throbbing.

He covered his heart, and a man's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

Pei Jiuchuan didn't sleep peacefully, and Xu Xiao didn't rest very well that night.

He told the young master to go home first, and stayed to work overtime by himself, wanting to finish watching the surveillance footage he brought back from the neighboring city.

Anyway, he is the only one at home, and it doesn't matter if he goes back or not.This, he thought, was the benefit of being single.

However, the young master didn't seem too happy about being driven home.He didn't say it directly, but kept staring at Xu Xiao.

"You go home and sleep for the night, can you come early tomorrow?" It's not a good experience to be stared at from behind, Director Xu can only reason with his subordinates sincerely.

"We are sick and injured here now, and it's not nice to say it, right? You have a good rest and get better soon, at least let me worry less."

I don't know what words Pei Jiuchuan heard, he dawdled for a while, and finally left.

Are you so dedicated?Xu Xiao sighed while shaking his head, if only Qu Qi had half the professionalism of the young master.

Surveillance videos are mainly concentrated in three places, the alley of Aunt Zhu's house, the kindergarten of the grandson, and a large vegetable market.

After all, it is an old city, unlike the new district, where every road and even every store is monitored.In Xiao He's words, it is already very good to have monitoring of these locations.

Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, watching from Aunt Zhu when she went out.

In fact, he didn't have any hope in his heart. The person who stole the mobile phone could do it anywhere, and the possibility of avoiding surveillance was too great.

Why did the other party know about Xue Jiaming's murder?Xu Xiao stared at the screen while thinking about other issues.

In this murder drama starring Xue Jiaming and X, is this secretive third person who does not want to show his face standing on the stage and personally participating in the performance, or is he hiding behind the curtain and watching everything secretly? ?

Although watching the surveillance video, Director Xu's thoughts were mostly on the lost video tape.

In this case, the videotape was the point of origin.

The conflict between Xue Jiaming and X started from the video tape.

Likewise, centering on the videotape, two assumptions can be made about the third person.

First, the other party did not know the existence of the video tape, but learned the truth about Xue Jiaming's death through other means.

In this case, it is likely that Xue Jiaming himself made a statement in advance and hinted to the third person that "if something happens to me, I will be killed by someone".

If this assumption is true, then the relationship between the third person and Xue Jiaming should be good, at least Xue Jiaming has enough trust in the third person.Otherwise, this kind of news will never be disclosed to the other party.

However, judging from Xue Jiaming's social circle, he doesn't seem to have a friend who can trust his life and death.Yao Qing and the old dean may be his closest people in Yaojiang, but they don't know anything about it.

This assumption ran into trouble.

The second assumption is that the third person knows the existence of the video tape, and at the same time knows that Xue Jiaming has seen the video tape.

In this way, he has an understanding of the possible conflict between Xue Jiaming and X.He is aware of the seriousness of the matter and knows that the contents of the video tape will make X kill Xue Jiaming.So after Xue Jiaming's accident, the third person deduced that this "accidental death" was not a real accident.

But where did he know about the video tape?

If he learns about the existence of the video tape from Xue Jiaming, then the question goes back to the first hypothesis.By Xue Jiaming's side, is there anyone who can let him entrust this deadly secret with peace of mind?

This path obviously doesn't work.

But the other possibility is even more hopeless.If the third person learns the secret of the video tape from X, he will probably end up with Xue Jiaming now.There is no chance to steal the mobile phone, and then lure Yao Qing to call the police.

Unless he was on good terms with X, even if he knew about the tape, X wouldn't do anything to him.But if this is the case, why does he need to complain for Xue Jiaming?Even if he was condemned out of conscience, after calling the police, wouldn't he be afraid of being retaliated by X?

Xu Xiao stared at the screen with a tangled face, feeling that he had one head and two big ones.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have kept Xiao Pei here." He muttered softly, it's better for everyone to struggle together than he alone.

Full of doubts, Xu Xiao didn't finish watching the surveillance until midnight.

"The pumpkin is really good." He watched Aunt Zhu drag the pumpkin into the alley, and then waved at someone outside the monitor, "I should stay for dinner today."

But this person is also very interesting. Even if you can't drive to the door, can't you be a good person and help the old man bring the pumpkin to the door?He watched Aunt Zhu waving enthusiastically for several minutes, and thought to himself, it's not easy to get a dozen pumpkins.

As expected, no clues were found to steal the mobile phone.

Presumably the third person should have seen the right timing and attacked on a section of the road that was not monitored.

So cautious...Xu Xiao lay on the chair, closed his eyes, but couldn't stop thinking.

Stealing the mobile phone and calling the police was already careful enough, but the third person chose to hand over the initiative to Yao Qing. He was obviously cautious and didn't want to involve himself in it.

By the way... there is still this stubble.He felt a little irritated, how did the other party know about their special father-daughter relationship?According to Yao Qing's description, it is almost impossible for Xue Jiaming to mention this relationship to others.

One question after another popped up one after another, Xu Xiao slowly fell asleep in the drowsy thinking.

He went to bed late, closed his eyes and was full of thoughts, and the chair was really uncomfortable.He hadn't slept for a few hours, and he woke up as soon as the sky broke through.

Guessing it was still early, Xu Xiao had no plans to get up.

He closed his eyes slightly, and continued to think about the question before going to bed.

Before he could enter the state, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.
