Qi Zang and Xu Ci sat opposite each other at a slightly narrow dining table in the apartment, which was decorated so exquisitely that it was almost dazzling.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ci asked Qi Zang again: "In fact, apart from what you said, I have another doubt about Zhang Xiaoliu. Shangpin Haoting has a nanny room for her. What about the Zeng family? If the Zeng family gave her The nanny room, if she is alone, why does she live in the unfinished building?"

Qi Zang said: "The Zeng family does have a nanny's room. When the family goes out to play and needs Zhang Xiaoliu to water the flowers, she lives in the nanny's room. But she usually doesn't live there. His mistress doesn't really want to have other things. The woman has been living under the same roof with them, one; second, according to the Zeng family, Zhang Xiaoliu seems to have other things to do."

Xu Ci asked again: "Have you compared the salaries of the two families? It is true that the Zeng family paid more than the family from Shangpin Haoting?"

"It's true. But the difference is not too much, a few hundred yuan." Qi Zang nodded, and said, "I also asked the Zeng family about Zhang Xiaoliu's situation in detail. According to them, Zhang Xiaoliu is a hardworking, Those who can work, when changing the soil in their hanging garden, Zhang Xiaoliu resisted the soil weighing dozens of catties.

"Before we speculated that the one who could push the 180-jin Shaoyue Mountain down the stairs must be a strong man. But Zhang Xiaoliu obviously has a lot of strength. It is very likely that he can do this too. But—"

Qi Zang fell into deep thought.

Xu Ci took his words and said: "However, no matter how strong Zhang Xiaoliu is, it will not be easy to achieve this easily. Shao Yueshan is willing to invite her into the house, hand over his back to her unsuspectingly, and then Being pushed off the balcony without warning... The probability of this happening is too small.

"If I were Shao Yueshan, the moment I saw Zhang Xiaoliu appear at the door through the cat's eye or the visualized door, I would not let her in from the beginning.

"Even if I let her in, and seeing this person standing in front of me who is playing fake jumps, splashing paint, taking so many bloody photos, and leading countless public opinion to attack me, I will feel that she is very scary and will definitely be against me. Then I will call the police immediately.

"But Shaoyueshan didn't do anything. He died after the four fake jumping incidents. When he was supposed to be the most vigilant and guarded against all strangers approaching him, he was pushed down in a conscious state It's...that's really weird."

After being silent for a while, Xu Ci took out a pen and paper, and drew a simple timeline——

Xianju Court was supposed to be handed over at the end of last year, but the construction was not even completed, and all the workers were withdrawn from the site, which was basically regarded as an unfinished building.

The fact that Zhang Xiaoliu resigned from the Shangpinhaoting family and went to the Zeng family in the prosperous area happened in February this year, that is, 2 months ago.

And Zhang Xiaoliu lived in the unfinished building in April this year.

The rights protection group was established in May.

The four people including Zhang Xiaoliu in the small group finally got 7 yuan from Yuan's real estate in July.

Seeing the timeline of Xu Cihua, Qi Zang added: "By the way, there is one more detail. If Zhang Xiaoliu lived in Zeng's house, his salary would be a little over 8000. If he couldn't stay, he could get [-]. In terms of cooking, cleaning up the house, and taking care of the children, their family hired a teacher."

"So Zhang Xiaoliu seems to be really short of money."

After saying this, Xu Ci looked at what he wrote thoughtfully, and then he said: "At present, the only connection between Zhang Xiaoliu and Shaoyue Mountain is that Shaoyue Mountain is the object of her compensation. She will either get the house, Or get compensation.

"I'm thinking now, Zhang Xiaoliu changed her job from Shangpinhaoting to Bustling Village in February this year, and happened to live on the upper floor of Shaoyue Mountain. Our previous speculation was that she did this to kill people in a targeted manner. Shaoyueshan. She planned this murder 2 months ago.

"But this speculation may not be tenable. You see, although she moved into the prosperity, it did happen after Xianjuyuan was confirmed to be unfinished. After she had a foundation of hatred with Yuan's real estate and Shaoyue Mountain. But Zhang Xiaoliu and the others The rights protection group was only established in May.

"If after a hard and protracted battle, Zhang Xiaoliu finds out that the money will not be returned, Zhang Xiaoliu hates it so much that he must kill Shao Yueshan to relieve his hatred, and then plan to kill him, it is understandable.

"But now, the establishment of the rights protection group, three months after Zhang Xiaoliu went to work as a nanny at the home upstairs in Shaoyueshan. The reasoning that she approached Shaoyueshan premeditatedly and wanted to kill him is somewhat untenable."

"Agreed. Then it can be assumed that she simply changed jobs at that time. If she is the real murderer, the next thing to solve is what is the opportunity for her to finally decide to do it."

Qi Zang took Xu Ci's pen and continued to write on the paper.

If Zhang Xiaoliu was the one who planned everything and killed Shaoyueshan, the following issues need to be resolved:

1. Her real motive for killing Shao Yueshan.

2. Why is Qihao willing to help her take the blame.

3. Is Lai Kang dead? If so, where is the body?

4. She doesn't live in Zeng's house and lives in an unfinished building. Is it to earn an extra 2000 yuan?What is the reason she is so short of money?

……

Xu Ci sorted out the questions with Qi Zang, then nodded and yawned. "That's it for now. Wait for the results of other investigations."

"Yeah." Qi Zang nodded, "I'll go to Qihao's side again. See if there's any way to force him to speak up and tell the truth about his relationship with Zhang Xiaoliu."

"Okay. Then I'll take a shower first." Xu Ci stood up, but was stopped by Qi Zang again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ci asked him.

Qi Zang said: "It's always you who help me. I have to help you too. Your work...do you need me to sort out something for you?"

"No." Xu Ci shook his head, "Besides, my job is fake, and it's real to be an undercover agent looking for evidence."

Qi Zang was amused by him for a moment, and Xu Ci said: "Besides, I hope that with your good words, I can return to the team smoothly. Well, actually, I need to practice.

"Except for what I experienced during my internship in college... I have never actually been a serious criminal policeman like you who handles cases normally. Just practice in advance. Finally—"

Xu Ci turned his head, looked Qi Zang up and down, and said, "Didn't you say that I should pay you? If you help you solve the case, you should pay off the debt."

Qi Zang immediately said, "How can there be such a repayment?"

Qi Zang felt that he might have over-interpreted it again, but he always felt that he heard something similar to "Your 'marrying' was delayed by me, so I wanted to help you in your 'career'."

After asking this question, seeing Xu Ci's slightly stunned look, Qi Zang didn't want him to be embarrassed, so he stood up immediately.

"Is there any debt for you to pay? I'm joking. Seriously? You help me, and I don't have time to thank you. If you weren't interested, I really don't want you to worry so much.

"Go take a bath. I'll warm up some milk for you. I bought the medicine for soaking your feet and the electric foot tub. Drinking milk and soaking your feet are both good for sleep. Don't take sleeping pills tonight?"

Xu Ci stood there for a long time, then lowered his eyes, his eyelashes drooped down naturally, and even the corners of his mouth turned down a little.

Qi Zang has seen Xu Ci in many forms, business elite Xie Qiao, Xie Shan with freckles, Zhang Xiaoyu who is a bit gothic, or Zoey with blonde hair and blue eyes.

In the longer memory, it was Xu Ci who stood up in class and answered the teacher's questions, looking a little high-spirited.It was Xu Ci, who was tall and lean, he held up the gun coldly and hit the tenth ring with every shot in the shooting competition.

During the internship, I teamed up with myself to chase the suspect to the alley, and then accurately predicted the escape location of the suspect, took a detour and climbed up the wall to ambush, and when the suspect passed by, he simply fell down the wall and kicked him Turning over, holding down the back of his neck and then handcuffing him, Xu Ci's movements were done in one go...

Then there was Xu Ci, who was wearing home clothes and wanted to remove all the shells, and seemed to have become very soft.

The warm light shone on Xu Ci's hair.He was silent for a while, without looking up, just said softly: "No, no. It's not a joke. Qi Zang, I really owe you a lot. Sometimes I don't know what to-"

"It's good that you come back." Qi Zang stepped forward to support his shoulders, and when he raised his head, he looked into his eyes seriously, "Those are not important. When you finish what you want to accomplish, it will be complete and safe." All earth, just return to our ranks."

"Xu Ci—"

"Ok?"

"I want to stress one more thing."

"You said."

"When you were still 'Xie Qiao' before, I didn't know your situation. To force you to tell me the truth and to test your identity, I said those inconspicuous things. I didn't really want to have an affair with you. What. Later, after the blood warbler incident, you confessed to me a lot, and I wanted to take back those messy thoughts. I didn’t say that to you again, but sometimes I couldn’t help it, so you Might feel it too.

"So—yes, I like you, I liked you eight years ago, and I still like you very much now. But this is my one-sided matter. It has nothing to do with you. You can't say that I like you. If you don't like me, you just I owe it to me. This is not how it is calculated. Otherwise," Qi Zang joked, "otherwise those big stars owe tens of thousands of people, and they will not be able to pay it off in ten lifetimes?"

"Qi Zang..."

"Besides, we didn't have that kind of relationship. If we were a couple eight years ago, and you left without saying a word or broke up unilaterally, maybe we would have to break up. But we have no relationship at all. Then It doesn't exist. You don't have any psychological burden."

"Cough. Alright. Go take a shower and sleep."

Qi Zang showed a smile towards Xu Ci.

He thought that Xu Ci's mood would soften, and he would feel that his words were heartwarming and comforting, but what surprised him was that Xu Ci's eyes seemed a little cold when he looked at him.As if he said something wrong.

"Eh?"

"No relationship at all? Even if it's just a friend, it's not appropriate to leave without saying goodbye."

"Huh? Yes, no, I didn't mean that. Of course we are brothers."

"Well, let's go." Xu Ci walked to the bathroom without looking back.

Qi Zang: "..."

·

The next investigation, on the one hand, will continue to investigate Shao Yueshan's social relations to see if there are other suspects.

On the other hand, it is to investigate Zhang Xiaoliu's social relations in depth, and even figure out her daily action route before "jumping off the building", and think about where she may go.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoliu's photo has been entered into Skynet's identification system, so as long as she shows her face during surveillance, she can be quickly captured by Skynet.

The third criminal investigation team conducted in-depth inquiries on breakfast shops, small supermarkets, etc. near Xianjuyuan, and retrieved all the surveillance cameras of these stores, looking for clues related to Zhang Xiaoliu in a haystack.

Tusun has also expanded the scope of monitoring and retrieval. Xianjuyuan itself is not monitored, but all nearby streets have been collected, and the same is true for the streets near Fanhuali.

Under normal circumstances, when Zhang Xiaoliu leaves Xianjuyuan every day, when he arrives at Fanhuali, when he leaves work, when he returns home, and whether he has been anywhere on the way to and from get off work, all these are all things that need to be verified and reasoned by the map investigation.

It is very late today.While eating melon seeds, Bai Shuwei stared at the monitors of the stores near Xianjuyuan and scanned them one by one. After scanning for several months, she became dizzy.

Most of these stores have retained monitoring for half a year at most.

While knocking out buckets of melon seed husks, she hoped that she could find some clues.

In the case of playing at double speed, and after watching the surveillance of a certain store on a certain day in a distracted manner, Bai Shuwei subconsciously pointed to the next one.

But in the blink of an eye, she recalled something, and hurried back to this video, and after dragging the progress to a certain place, she stopped——

She saw Zhang Xiaoliu.

That's not the point.

After all, Zhang Xiaoliu lives in Xianjuyuan, so it is not surprising to see a nearby storefront. Bai Shuwei watched her buy breakfast N times, and she was dizzy and swore that she would never complain about boring domestic dramas again.

But this time, she was shocked and found the point.

——This is a mother and baby store. Zhang Xiaoliu bought some children's toys and a set of children's clothes for girls.

Zhang Xiaoliu's employer, the Zeng's family in Prosperity, gave birth to a son, not a daughter, not to mention that their households are all high-end products.

The things used by these little girls should not have been bought by Zhang Xiaoliu for the Zeng family.

Who is she for?Does she have children?

After thinking about it a lot, Bai Shuwei quickly sent this video to Qi Zang.

After Qi Zang received it, he came out of his office and called Li Zhengzheng. "Where is Zhang Xiaoliu's hometown?"

Li Zhengzheng: "In Chaoxian County, the high-speed rail can take you there in 3 hours. I called Zhang Xiaoliu before to find out about Zhang Xiaoliu's situation, but I didn't find much useful information. There are only her parents at home. Her parents are also looking for her. Listen. The tone was still anxious. They also saw the report."

"Okay, you and Shan Kang will go for a trip to find out whether Zhang Xiaoliu has ever been married and has any children." Qi Zang said, "I will continue to investigate Zhang Xiaoliu's whereabouts with Tuzhen."

The next night, Li Zhengzheng and Shan Kang came back.

The two brought back news——

Zhang Xiaoliu was indeed married, but her ex-husband was a gambler. She was divorced and took care of the children alone.The reason why Zhang Xiaoliu's parents concealed this matter from the police was that they were still old-fashioned, thinking that a girl's divorce would be a matter of ruining her reputation, so she didn't mention her marriage experience much.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoliu's child suffers from uremia and needs dialysis three times a week, so he cannot go to school normally.

Zhang Xiaoliu has to earn money from dawn to dusk to afford her child's medical expenses, but the average salary in her hometown is too low, so she can only choose her parents to help take care of the children, and she continues to earn money in Jinning City.

The three dialysis sessions per week were also performed by her parents and their children from the village to the county hospital by bus.

Not long ago, her child's condition suddenly deteriorated. Her parents sent the child to the hospital in Jinning City. They were rescued and treated for a period of time, but the child died in the end.

Qi Zang immediately asked, "How many months did this happen?"

Li Zhengzheng: "This July!"

"Do you know which hospital you came to?"

"I asked, but Zhang Xiaoliu's parents didn't know, so they said it seemed to be some people's hospital."

With a certain guess in his mind, Qi Zang immediately reported the matter to Tuzhen, asking them to check the monitoring of the hospital in July this year, starting from the hospital with the word "people".

In the morning of the next day, there was a result from Tucen——

In early July, when Zhang Xiaoliu was working as a nanny at Zeng's house, there was a phenomenon of "arriving late and leaving early", often leaving for a period of time before going back.And during this time, she appeared in the surveillance of the No.7 civilian hospital.

Qi Zang immediately took people to the No.1 civilian hospital. After several inquiries and verifications, he found the doctor who had treated Zhang Xiaoliu's child at that time.

Recalling Zhang Xiaoliu's child, the doctor's tone was regretful.

"I remember this child, she is very cute. She is... well, it is encephalitis caused by uremia. She is young and her immunity has not kept up. Also paid for it.

"After being rescued, the child will be admitted to the ICU, which burns money every day... I watched her mother struggle every day. I heard that she worked as a nanny for a rich family. She talked to her employer about advance wages, but it didn't work out. .Later she went around to raise money, but there was nothing she could do. The child was transferred to the general ward and went there not long after.”

Qi Zang frowned. "That is to say, the death of her child was caused by lack of money?"

"That's not true." The doctor said, "The child's condition is already very serious. I've heard that one case of such severe encephalitis was cured by Peking Union Medical College. Our rescue method is to temporarily save her life and enter the ICU. If so, it’s just a delay.”

Qi Zang asked again: "Have you told her mother about this?"

"I said it. She thinks that the child's father smoked a lot when she was pregnant, which caused the child..." The doctor sighed, "I persuaded her. In fact, it is better to transfer all the money to the ICU than to spend all the money in the ICU. The ward let nature take its course. In this case, the child would have suffered less if he had gone earlier. There is no way around this."

Qi Zang continued to ask: "Did Zhang Xiaoliu accept it?"

The doctor said: "Then it must be difficult for her to accept it. She cried for a long time, but she had to accept it in the end. She was calm when she signed the contract. I think she should be understood by me. We have a special negotiation room , deal with this kind of thing a lot, and have experience.”

After looking for a doctor, Qi Zang inevitably called the Zeng family again.

Zhang Xiaoliu once asked them to borrow money, and "coming late and leaving early" must have gotten their permission.But they didn't mention it at all, why?

Through communicating with Zeng's family, Qi Zang also got the answer.

"It is true that there is such a thing, and I have also advanced two months' wages. But more... It is not convenient for me to get it. What if she runs away one day? I also persuaded her, saying that this kind of thing, in addition to It's pointless to spend money in vain.

"I'm sorry, officer. I just gave her an advance of 2 yuan. I didn't say it at the time, just because I was afraid that we would appear too cold-blooded and make you think that we could live in such a good house, but we were so stingy in the end... Besides, we really didn't I thought it would be related to the case, sorry."

After returning to the Municipal Bureau.Everyone in the office couldn't help discussing the latest developments.

Li Zhengzheng had a flash of inspiration, and Fuzhi said in his heart: "I suddenly have an idea. July! Think about it, how critical this month is! Zhang Xiaoliu and his small rights protection group are going to get 7 yuan, isn't it just July? We feel that Zhang Xiaoliu would not kill someone for 2 yuan, but it is different now. The 7 yuan may be related to the life and death of her daughter!

"Could it be that the other three people took the 2 yuan and gave nothing to Zhang Xiaoliu... No, could it be that Zhang Xiaoliu wanted to use all the 2 yuan for his daughter's illness. But the other three people No. So after her daughter died, Zhang Xiaoliu wanted revenge?"

Bai Shuwei immediately refuted. "No, the doctor said, she explained to Zhang Xiaoliu that the child is in fact hopeless. Being unable to live in the ICU is not the root cause of the child's death. Her hatred is not so great, right? The ICU seems to cost 2 a day, right? [-] yuan, at most it will delay the little girl for two days. Even if those three people did not give the money to Zhang Xiaoliu...Can she really kill three people regardless of these two days? "

What Bai Shuwei said was actually what Qi Zang was considering.

He said: "There is another point. I confirmed with the Zeng family. They also only advanced 2 yuan in salary to Zhang Xiaoliu. It means that the Zeng family helped the little girl live two more days.

"If Zhang Xiaoliu was stimulated by her daughter's death and turned into a murderous maniac, and she killed those three people for 2 yuan, then she should also kill the Zeng family. But she didn't do that. Maybe there is something behind this. There is an inside story. In addition, the murderous intention on Shaoyue Mountain is still not completely clear."

the other side.

The cause of death of Shaoyueshan's corpse has been investigated clearly, and there is no need to keep it. In addition, his family strongly demanded to retrieve the corpse as soon as possible, so his corpse was taken to the funeral parlor by the Shao family for cremation, and then the funeral was held.

Xu Ci also went to the funeral, accompanying Lin Jingtong.

On the way, Lin Jingtong half-joked with Xu Ci. "I don't know if his parents know about our collapse. If they know, we won't be welcomed."

Xu Ci said lightly: "It's nothing, just leave immediately after sending the money."

Hearing this, Lin Jingtong smiled. "Well, you are the style of doing things."

At the funeral, Xu Ci met Shao Yueshan's parents, his wife and son.

"My condolences." Xu Ci offered the "gift of favor" and saw Shao Yueshan's wife in white pulling his son and bowing to him to thank him.

And the moment the son raised his face, Xu Ci caught something, and the surprise in his eyes was fleeting.

He has grasped a certain key.
