last case

Actually, don't look at Xie Jibai's unfriendly appearance, he is actually the most soft-hearted person.

The little boy went to the supermarket with them. The three of them bought a lot of things, and then went home with them, preparing a sumptuous hot pot for dinner.

Xie Jibai's house was really too clean, the little boy was a little timid, but after entering the house, he was a little frightened and didn't dare to go in.

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing, took the little boy to change his slippers, then took him to wash his hands and change his clothes, and asked him to go to his room to rest for a while.

Xie Jibai was already worried about a lot of ingredients, Tang Xin bought too much, it was really difficult for him to put all the things in the refrigerator.

Tang Xin walked in and said, "Let me come, you go and rest for a while, you are very tired from running today."

"It's okay." Xie Jibai said.

Tang Xin started washing and chopping vegetables, but Xie Jibai stood at the door of the kitchen and did not leave.

"Why did you bring him back?" Xie Ji Bai asked.

The "he" of course refers to the little boy.

Tang Xin smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just a hot head, I feel a little sympathetic."

"Same sickness?" Xie Jibai raised his eyebrows.

Tang Xin said: "When I was very young, both my parents passed away. I don't even remember what my parents looked like. My parents are not in business, and they don't have a rich family background. There are a large group of relatives who are unwilling to support me. They all push back and forth. Yes. Although I was very young at the time, I remember that scene very clearly. Then my uncle came back from abroad and took me away."

"Then you are lucky." Xie Jibai said.

"Indeed." Tang Xin said.

The two did not continue this topic, but Tang Xin knew that Xie Jibai's experience was somewhat similar to his, and it was even more pitiful.After Xie Jibai's parents passed away, he lived alone. Although he had a guardian in name, it was almost as good as not having one.

Xie Jibai named the hot pot to eat, eating hot pot in summer, even with the air conditioner on, he was still sweating.

Xie Jibai only ate clear soup pots. He used to eat hot pot by himself, just pour a pot of mineral water, and then start to boil vegetables in it.It was crystal clear, nothing at all.

This time, under Tang Xin's strong request, Xie Jibai finally added a section of green onion to the bottom of the clear soup to remove the flavor, a piece of shiitake mushroom to enhance the freshness, and nothing else was added.

The little boy ate hot pot for the first time, his eyes were shining, he was very excited, but very timid.

After Tang Xin finished packing his things, he saw that the time was already past midnight.The little one is already asleep on the bed in his room.

Tang Xin closed the door and came out, just in time to see Xie Ji Bai coming out of the bathroom.

Tang Xin said: "Can I sleep in the living room? Today."

"Whatever you want." Xie Jibai said, "Get tidy in the morning."

"Of course." Tang Xin said.

Xie Jibai nodded and said, "Good night."

Xie Jibai always thought that living with others would be very troublesome, but he discovered that it was just that he thought the trouble was too terrible.

He had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up the next day, the living room was tidy again. Tang Xin was cooking, and the little boy was lying at the door of the kitchen watching him cook.

Xie Jibai couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that Tang Forensic Doctor is quite good at taking care of children sometimes.Maybe it's the legendary, young and old eat it all?

They went to the bureau after breakfast, and there was no one else in the office when they arrived.

Xie Jibai turned on the computer and checked the emails. It was the information sent to him by Chen Yancai. It seemed that there were quite a lot of things.

Tang Xin came over and asked, "What are these?"

Xie Jibai said: "Information about hospitals in this city. Do you still remember the photos you put in the book yesterday?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "Did you ask Chen Yancai to organize the information for you?"

Yesterday, there was a photo in the book with a gray cover. It looked like a photo of a hospital ward. The room in the photo was very old and looked a little old.

There are quite a few hospitals in this city, as well as some private clinics, etc. Chen Yancai has compiled a lot of information, but if the conditions are relatively good, most of them can be excluded.

Xie Jibai sorted out the list of several hospitals, and then marked them on the map.

Tang Xin said: "Why is it a photo of a hospital room?"

"I don't know." Xie Jibai said, "I don't know what it means either."

Tang Xin said: "Is it related to our current case?"

Xie Ji Bai still shook his head: "Maybe it doesn't matter, but there is a little clue, we can't ignore it."

Xie Jibai suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, we went to find Kou Xin yesterday to no avail. I think maybe we can start from other aspects."

"Which aspect?" Tang Xin asked.

"That Miss Mu." Xie Jibai said.

Tang Xin frowned and said, "Miss Mu?"

Xie Jibai said: "The Miss Mu we met yesterday should have cooperation with Kou Xin's company, maybe she can learn something."

Tang Xin said: "It is possible."

Xie Jibai said, "Why don't we ask Miss Mu later."

"Alright." Tang Xin said.

While the two were talking, the little boy was sitting on a chair, looking at Xie Ji Bai's computer screen from afar.On the computer screen was a photo, the one in the gray book.

Because it was too late yesterday, they couldn't send the little boy to the relief station or other places, so Tang Xin and Xie Jibai took care of him all night.They are very busy with work, and it is impossible to keep this child in forever, especially since he still needs some mental treatment.

Tang Xin said: "Before we go to Miss Mu, let's send this child away first."

Xie Jibai nodded.

When the two paid attention to the little boy again, they found that he was staring at the photo on the screen.

Xie Ji Bai frowned, stood up suddenly and walked over, and asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize the place in the photo?"

The little boy was startled when he heard the voice, and then recovered from his stupor, looked at Xie Ji Bai and nodded slowly, and said, "Mmm..."

Tang Xin was taken aback, and asked, "Where is this?"

The little boy stared at the photo, as if lost in thought again, before saying, "It's hell..."

Tang Xin looks like Xie Jibai in puzzlement.

Xie Jibai had been observing the expression of the little boy just now, he was not fantasizing when he was in a trance, but recalling a memory, which really existed.Therefore, "hell" is not a virtual concept, but perhaps an exaggerated description.

Xie Jibai said softly: "Then what is hell? Can you tell us about it?"

The little boy seemed to be very resistant to talking about this issue, however, he finally opened his mouth and said, "It's the place where I escaped..."

Xie Jibai thought it was the boy's home, but it was not.

The little boy was an orphan, and the place where he escaped was actually a shelter.

It's not an ordinary shelter, but a rather special shelter. It not only shelters orphans or the elderly, but also shelters some people with mental problems, and provides them with free relief and treatment.

The little boy recognized the room in the photo, a room in the shelter.

They got an important clue, but why that person would give them this clue is really incredible.

When everyone arrived, Xie Jibai explained the situation.

Xie Jibai said: "No matter what, we must continue to investigate. Chen Yancai, please check the information of this shelter first. The more detailed the better."

Chen Yancai nodded.

Chen Wanting said: "We have a lot of things to investigate now. Kou Xin's place should continue to be investigated, and this shelter should also be investigated, as well as He Peixing's ex-wife. When I went to the funeral home to investigate yesterday, I found another problem, that is, A colleague of He Peixing."

Chen Wanting said that yesterday he went to the funeral home to continue investigating He Peixing's death. A person who worked the night shift with He Peixing said that he had seen He Peixing at about five o'clock in the morning when He Peixing died, and that He Peixing was still alive.Later, around [-]:[-], someone left from the lounge where He Peixing was staying.But it was quite dark at the time, so he couldn't see clearly.It was a man in work clothes, and his back looked like his colleague Zhang Jianghao. The colleague said that he got off the night shift at five o'clock that day. When he first went to the lounge, he saw He Peixing chatting with another colleague, Zhang Jianghao. , but at that time He Peixing seemed to be in a bad mood, especially depressed.

The colleague didn't know what they were talking about. When he went in, the two of them had stopped talking.

The colleague hurriedly greeted them and left. It was around [-]:[-] when he left. He hurried home, otherwise there would be traffic jams in the morning rush hour.

However, when he walked to the station, he suddenly found that his key had fallen into the pocket of his overalls and he hadn't taken it out.He hurried back to the funeral home. When he arrived at the funeral home, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was [-]:[-].

In the passage outside the lounge, he saw the back of Zhang Jianghao leaving in a hurry.He didn't care at the time, and was about to go into the lounge to get his key.However, he saw his key on the ground outside the lounge and dropped it.

The colleague picked up the key and didn't enter the lounge again. He thought that he might be too careless, and the key fell out of his pocket and he didn't find it.He then left the funeral home and went home.

Tang Xin said: "The time of He Peixing's death was around 05:30 to [-]:[-], that is to say, when He Peixing died, it is very likely that Zhang Jianghao was with the deceased?"

Chen Wanting nodded.

"But the interesting thing is." Chen Wanting continued: "I also found this Zhang Jianghao. He refused to admit that he was with He Peixing that morning, and said that the colleague recognized the wrong person."

"Admit the wrong person?" Xie Jibai said: "Didn't you even say hello? How could you admit the wrong person?"

Chen Wanting said: "Yes, that colleague is very sure that he did not identify the wrong person. He said he did say hello to Zhang Jianghao and He Peixing. At that time, He Peixing was depressed and did not speak, but Zhang Jianghao answered him."

"It seems that Zhang Jianghao has a problem." Xie Jibai said.

"There are more interesting things." Chen Wanting said again.

Chen Yancai couldn't help but said: "Boss, don't breathe so hard, I'm going to suffocate to death."

Chen Wanting said concisely: "Zhang Jianghao has an alibi."

"Ah?" Liu Zhihui scratched his head and said, "Alibi?"
