Ji Xun asked Xia Youqing to go back to the ward first. Pregnant women who just fainted yesterday should not stand outside for too long. Two minutes after Xia Youqing went back, Huo Ranyin came over, which was no surprise.

Ji Xun casually greeted people: "Hi."

"We meet again." Huo Ran was neither salty nor cool, "This time you also wandered to the investigation site?"

"Actually, I'm here to visit a friend." Ji Xun rolled the plums in his mouth with his tongue, "But according to common sense, at least today or tomorrow, you or someone in your group will come to Sunshine Hospital to have a look. So I have to

It’s okay to say that I came here specifically to step on you.”

"What did you step on?"

"A trivial little thing."

Ji Xun shook his phone, turned on Bluetooth, sent the photo to Huo Ranyin, and asked at the same time: "How many people's DNA are there?"

"Except for the deceased, there are two, one is Zeng Peng and the other is Tang Jinglong."

Huo Ranyin received the photo on his phone. He took a look and saw that the camera was focused on the thermos cup in Tang Jinglong's hand. The thermos cup in Tang Jinglong's hand had a small cloud logo printed on it and a simple coffee cup next to it.

The strokes look like gifts from some coffee shop.

"Suspect Tang Jinglong?" Huo Ranyin said, "During the time of the deceased's death, he and his wife were traveling abroad."

"Oh, it seems this is a twin murder case."

"..."

"Of course, it was the twins who went out with his wife, and he was the one who killed him. As we all know, the DNA of identical twins is the same, but the DNA of fraternal twins is different. From this point of view, it can also be seen whether Tang Jinglong has gone through the process of changing wives.

Branch plot——"

"Ji Xun." Huo Ran interrupted, the impatience on his brows ready to show, "Tang Jinglong is an only son in the household registration book."

"Perhaps there is a brother who lives abroad. Aren't these novels about brothers and sisters living abroad very popular recently? Art comes from life, and life is often more absurd than art."

"It's fun to talk nonsense?"

"Ha..." Ji Xun laughed, "Okay, now except for the deceased, with the two DNAs, Captain Huo thinks it was Zeng Peng who committed the murder or Tang Jinglong who committed the murder? Both of them have alibi. Judging from Zeng Peng, the motive may also be

Not enough, right?"

"It is not ruled out that a third person may take action."

"That must be a cautious, well-armed murderer who is careful not to lose even a single hair on his own. He is either in fancy clothes or a master of sweeping the floor. Zeng Peng, Tang Jinglong, the hard-working third party. It's time to choose one of the classic three." Ji Xun

With a frivolous smile, he suddenly asked, "Who does Captain Huo think he is?"

Huo Ranyin frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Ji Xun had already concluded on his own: "It seems that we have the same point of view. The third party is not suspenseful enough, and the murderer is Tang Jinglong. Otherwise, there is really no need for Captain Huo to finish the inquiry."

After Tang Jinglong and Rao Fangjie came back again to look at the things in my hands, then..."

He looked at Huo Ranyin with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth:

"How did Tang Jinglong fly across thousands of kilometers and kill the deceased that day?"

After finishing the plums in his mouth, he wanted to throw the ball directly into the trash can, but under the eyes of the eagerly watching old sanitation workers, Ji Xun politely spit out the core into his palm and put it gently into the wet trash can.

After he finished, he clapped his hands and seemed to think of something before leaving. Then he turned back and smiled:

"By the way, don't take what the novelist says seriously. Twins are boring and cliché. Reality won't be so exciting."

The two people on the lawn left one after another. The old sanitation worker was still cleaning the area diligently, but when she bent down to pick up something, a pair of dirty sneakers stopped in front of her.

Those shoes were so dirty that even half of the vegetable leaves stuck to them were not removed. Obviously, the owner only needs to bend down to solve the problem.

What a sloppy guy, no one talks about him?

Sanitation workers slander.

The dream has come again.

Dreams are really uninvited guests. Even though no one has opened the door for them, they still try their best to sneak into your mind.

Xia Youqing is familiar with this kind of numbness. Since Xi Lei's death, she has always fallen into the illusion that the other party seems to still be alive. She knows that this is false and is an illusion derived from her inner unwillingness for Xi Lei to leave.

But this hallucination has lasted for several days, and she has dug out every bit of the time she spent with Xi Lei that she had packed away in the memory box.

The first thing she heard was her own cry. There was a mess all around, including broken glass, toilet paper, pillows, bedding, and water bottles. She smashed everything like a madman, and in the end she could only huddle in the corner, crying in collapse.

She didn't know why she was crying, because she had been suffering from insomnia all night long, and because of the despair of early pregnancy when she would vomit every three to five minutes? But every woman can get pregnant and give birth to children. Why are they all fine and only she can bear it?

No?

Xi Lei silently hugged her and patted her shoulder.

The other party is obviously two years younger than her, but at this time, she is comforting her like her sister - that's because she doesn't understand her pain at all, and no one understands her pain!

The highly venomous snake bit her heart. She almost wanted to push Xi Lei away, open the window and jump out in front of her. This was what Xi Lei owed her. If Xi Lei hadn't grabbed her as she walked towards the road, maybe

She has been freed long ago!

But when she raised her head, what flashed in Xi Lei's eyes was not comfort and sympathy, but insight and understanding. She didn't say anything, she just approached her gently and pressed her ordinary but warm cheek against hers.

Her crying gradually stopped, and Xi Lei looked at her, but her eyes were far away, as if she could see through her, this house, and the boundary between life and death. Then Xi Lei showed a compassionate smile, and she would

Something was put into her hand and she opened her mouth...

The cramping pain in her stomach pulled Xia Youqing out of her dream.

It was the same every night. No matter how well she slept, the pain from her abdomen would wake her up at regular intervals. It was like a tumor, a tumor hanging on her body and absorbing nutrients.

She opened her eyes and saw a familiar house. A few months ago, she smashed the place to pieces, and then her memory became blurred. Until now, she finally remembered that Xi Lei stuffed the doll into her hand.

She was holding a doll with long hair. The doll was chubby and chubby, and was wearing a blue dress with pink flowers.

But it has no eyes.

The empty white pupils stared at her.

She was terrified, but Xi Lei's quiet and gentle voice soothed her:

"Don't be afraid. She will bless you. They will all bless you. And I, Qingqing, I will take good care of you. I will."

In the room at night, there was the sound of rats eating wood. It was not the rats hiding in the shadow corner, but Xia Youqing's bones. She was trembling, the bones were knocking against each other, rattling, rattling, rats biting the wood.

They drive her:

Do something—must do something.

Ji Xun caught Xia Youqing in the cafe downstairs of a pharmaceutical company. When he entered the cafe, he specifically looked up at the signboard - zero-point coffee, no clouds, and the thermos cup in Tang Jinglong's hand.

The logos on them are not the same.

When he saw Xia Youqing, Xia Youqing also looked at him. Compared to him who was doing nothing, writing and drawing on a tablet and drinking coffee, Xia Youqing's expression was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

He flipped the tablet back on the table, waved to Xia Youqing, and asked the pregnant woman to sit across from him. He couldn't help but yawned again before saying hello, so he had to take another sip of black coffee.

"So surprised to see me?"

"How did you-"

"Why did you appear here? How did you know that Tang Jinglong worked in this building? How did you know that you would secretly come to investigate on your own?" Ji Xun said in a casual tone, "I don't know if it would be strange not to show up, right? Compared to this taking it for granted

What I am more curious about is that you..."

This time Ji Xun looked hesitant and rubbed his eyebrows.

"How does a pregnant woman who is six months pregnant dare to do such a dangerous thing by herself? Do you think this is writing "The Pregnant Detective" or "Chasing the Evil with the Ball"?"

"..."

"Pregnant women are indeed a very deep memory point." Ji Xun analyzed candidly, "but criminal investigation themes inevitably involve action scenes. As readers, I am afraid they will not be willing to see a pregnant woman associated with any action scenes. They will think this is very retarded. I also

I feel so."

"..."

"Why don't you speak?" Ji Xun asked again.

"We can't continue talking." Xia Youqing's face was sullen.

"Let's go." Ji Xun finished his coffee and stood up from his seat.

Xia Youqing didn't move. She sat and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Ji Xun, I didn't want to do anything strange. I want to meet Tang Jinglong. I put a miniature camera in the second button of my clothes. Maybe Tang Jinglong won't do anything to a person."

Pregnant women are so vigilant, as if there is any flaw in the conversation, you will be able to spot it at a glance. I definitely do not disbelieve you."

"I don't think you don't believe me either..." Ji Xun said casually.

It is not uncommon for relatives and friends of the deceased to take the initiative to do something to interfere with the investigation of a case because they are too sad and angry during the investigation. The inquiry is not angry at Xia Youqing's actions. It is just from his perspective that Xia Youqing needs to be reminded to take precautions.

, in case Xia Youqing interferes with solving the case, in case Xia Youqing is harmed in this incident.

"I just... just have to do something for Xi Lei... do something for the person who has always taken care of me. I can't blame everything on you and wait for the result - I can't feel sorry for her like that."

Ji Xun's eyes fell on Xia Youqing.

She could hardly breathe.

Xi Lei was her only close friend, and her death bound her tightly like a spider web. She struggled hard in it, and finally struggled.

"Let me tell you the ideas of my investigation." Ji Xun said suddenly.

Xia Youqing's struggle was interrupted, and her eyes were glued to him impatiently.

"Follow the normal case handling process, first observe the crime scene, then investigate the interpersonal relationships of the deceased, and then understand the deceased's movements before death. With these three sets, the general case can be solved. There is no need to repeat the work that the police are definitely doing.

, we just need to know the results of their investigation and investigation."

"It is a rule to keep cases confidential, how do you know?" Xia Youqing asked subconsciously.

"Oh, just follow them and see which direction they exert their force in the end. Just like what we did at Sunshine Hospital." Ji Xun said calmly, "It's not important. Do you remember the murder scene?"

Xia Youqing just opened her mouth.

Ji Xun waved his hand as if he knew what she was going to say: "It doesn't matter if I don't know, I'll just tell you."

Xia Youqing obediently shut her mouth.

"There was a bouquet of flowers at the scene, placed in a glass vase without water. This was brought by the murderer - because if Xi Lei bought it herself or someone else gave it to her, she would obviously not forget to add water to the vase; and the murderer also

There is no reason to pour the water out of the vase."

"The murderer brought flowers to see Xi Lei..." Ji Xun said slowly, "After killing someone, he did not choose to take the flowers away, but he tore off the wrapping paper that wrapped the flowers. There might be a store mark on it, and he took it away.

The bouquet was put in a vase and left in a hurry."

"Tang Jinglong!" Xia Youqing blurted out.

"Tang Jinglong is indeed very suspicious, but another possibility cannot be ruled out here: if the murderer pretends to be a flower shop deliveryman and says that someone has ordered flowers for Xi Lei, Xi Lei will also open the door - this bouquet of flowers is the key."

Ji Xun opened the tablet that was buckled on the table.

It was a sketch of a bouquet at the crime scene that day.

"Later, help me search the flower shops in the same city to see which one sells bouquets like this."

Xia Youqing nodded obediently again.

"As for now..."

"Sorry, I will go back." Xia Youqing lowered her head.

"I didn't say let you go back." Ji Xun interrupted her.

Xia Youqing looked up blankly and saw Ji Xun's eyes. The other person's eyes were heavy, as black as the night. In the depths of the night, there was an incredible tolerance and gentleness.

"I will take you up to meet Tang Jinglong. In addition, you have already done a lot. You came to me. You led the police to discover the body. You provided valuable time advantages for solving the case and tracking the murderer."

"……not enough."

After a brief trance, vulnerability disappeared from her face, and strength was covered again like armor. Her left hand was closed in a strange posture, as if there was another person holding hands with hers.

"I only did something trivial."

But Leilei saved me.

The morning and evening shifts are the most crowded times in the office building. When Ji Xun and Xia Youqing got on the elevator, a large elevator was packed with people. Some people in a hurry simply didn't wait for the elevator and took the stairs next to the elevator.

.

The elevator climbed up, and there was a courier inside. He was holding a large transparent box in his hand. There was a bouquet of flowers in the box. Ji Xun glanced at it and saw the densely packed petals at the bottom of the box, as well as the flowers stuck to it.

Delivery order.

The recipient is Tang Jinglong.

When the floor arrived, people in the elevator filed out. Ji Xun deliberately pulled Xia Youqing one step behind. When they got out of the elevator, Tang Jinglong had already arrived at the front desk and was looking at the flowers in his hand. There was a trace of confusion on his face. But the confusion did not delay him.

Then he opened the box and took out the bouquet.

Then something unexpected happened.

Just hearing a "buzz" sound, several bees flew up from the flowers and flew towards Tang Jinglong.

Ji Xun's pupils reflected the shadow of the bee, as well as Tang Jinglong's shocked and distorted face. The other party yelled and quickly retracted his arm to cover his face. The bouquet he originally held in his hand was thrown out together with the box containing the bouquet.

He himself staggered and fell to the ground in excitement.

The bouquet hit the wall and fell to the ground, and more bees crawled out. The plastic box fell further and fell in front of Ji Xun's feet. The petals inside splashed out from the open opening, like a layer of red

The velvet carpet was dotted with the carcasses of butterflies and bees.

Ji Xun's eyes turned from the bouquet to the box.

There was also a bouquet of flowers in front of Xi Lei's body.

He wrapped his hands in clothes and plucked the petals and insect corpses on the ground. Deep in the mess, he saw an MP4.

"It's so retro." Ji Xun said to himself, thought for a moment, and said to Xia Youqing, "Call the police."

Before Xia Youqing took action, the MP4 lighted up first, as if it had an automatic start device inside.

A preset video popped up. It was a surveillance video. The surveillance picture showed Ji Xun on the lawn of Sunshine Hospital, but there was a mechanical sound to match the picture, showing Ji Xun and Xia Youqing's analysis of Tang Jinglong on the lawn.

Repeat the sentence.

At the end of the video, the surveillance content ended, a black screen appeared, but the sound continued. It said:

"Ji Xun, I believe you. If you say he is a bad person, he is a bad person. Bad people need to be punished."

The video is over.

The small screen was not enough for everyone to see the image, but the sound had spread throughout the corridor. Everyone else in the pharmaceutical company was staring at Tang Jinglong, and Tang Jinglong, who was sitting on the ground, was also looking around in panic.

The weird atmosphere was just like the fear on Tang Jinglong's face at this moment, gathering bit by bit in the large box of the office building.

Wow, it’s really exciting. With this kind of imagination, why don’t you write a novel?

Ji Xun didn't feel angry.

After a while, someone went to help Tang Jinglong: "Are you okay?"

"Call the police." Ji Xun said to Xia Youqing again. He was not at all anxious about the MP4 that he took out of the venue without paying him. He even thought it was vulgar. He didn't even think about moving the thing. He stood up from the ground.

, "Leave it to the police to solve this old prank."

"Don't call the police!"

Xia Youqing had just taken out her cell phone when Tang Jinglong's voice came after her. He hadn't even stood up from the ground yet, and a layer of false calm had already appeared on his face.

"It's just a prank. There's no need to alert the police. Get that thing for me. I don't know which of my competitors is joking with me."

The person supporting Tang Jinglong let go of Tang Jinglong's hand and took two steps forward, ready to get the MP4.

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly weird. Ji Xun watched with cold eyes. What broke the silence was the sound of sudden footsteps. The footsteps came from behind, but they were not from the elevator. The unique door opening sound of the elevator did not sound.

The visitor has been hiding behind the stairwell!

Ji Xun turned around cautiously.

Another delivery boy appeared with a take-out box and a take-out jacket.

The first step he took out was to throw away his hat and takeout box, and the second step was to pull out a wooden stick from his clothes.

It’s Zeng Peng!

The last time Ji Xun saw him, he was still a submissive man with slow steps and little head lift.

But this time, he held his head high, strode forward with a sinister expression on his face.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xun understood what the weirdness he had been feeling since meeting Zeng Peng was - this man himself was a jackal, and he only put on a coat for a stable life and for his girlfriend.

A piece of sheepskin.

But a wolf will always be a wolf.

Now that Xi Lei is dead, the sheepskin on his body has been torn.

The moment he saw this man, Ji Xun knew what Zeng Peng wanted to do. Zeng Peng believed that Tang Jinglong was the murderer and wanted to avenge Xi Lei! His reason directed his body to rush forward, and he did take a step forward. But -

—

"Inquiry!"

Xia Youqing screamed nervously, and her voice was suddenly distorted into a strange timbre.

The timbre that stayed in his memory.

Reason and instinct were separated, and he did something that might be understandable but completely meaningless. He subconsciously protected Xia Youqing behind him.

This really doesn't make any sense.

Zeng Peng didn't even look here. He strode across the final distance and came to Tang Jinglong.

He raised the stick high.

The jackal swung his claws.

He hit it hard.

Jackals tear apart their prey.
Chapter completed!
