"Lin Xi and Xiao Wu will be back soon. Kenan, take Lu Sheng to your car and wait for a while. Xiao Wu will come over later and I will talk to him about the situation." Captain Yan finally explained to Meng Kenan.
Lu Sheng got into the car, and Meng Kenan went back to the office.
"Team Yan, what kind of operation is this? I walked into the police station in a big way and still avoided Lin Xi like this. Is it necessary?" Lu Sheng thought doubtfully, and immediately reacted.
"It's still the old detective. Is this trying to scare the mountain?"
Xiao Wu drove back with Lin Xi in the car. Lu Sheng hid in the car and tried his best to lower his body to avoid being discovered by Lin Xi.
Lu Sheng waited in the car for a while and watched Xiao Wu come out with Meng Kenan's car keys.
"Captain Yan has told me, let's go to the mental rehabilitation center now."
Xiao Wu got into the car, pretended that there was no one in the car, talked to himself, and drove directly out of the police station without looking back.
As the car drove towards its destination, Xiao Wu sat in front and asked, "What happened last night?"
"It's nothing, I just slept outside for a night." Lu Sheng lied to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was doubtful, but that was not what he was more concerned about now.
"I was thinking about it for a long time last night. There are some things that I really can't figure out. I want to hear your opinion."
"A person shouldn't kill someone out of anger." Xiao Wu tentatively asked Lu Sheng.
"Of course, it is the most common criminal mentality." Lu Sheng answered decisively without thinking.
Xiao Wu did not express his original intention well. He tried his best to control his words. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Is there anyone who has experienced similar unfortunate experiences and developed sympathy to help people who have nothing to do with him?"
The victim then broke the law to kill the suspect."
Lu Sheng listened confused and felt that Xiao Wu was still very strange, but he still answered Xiao Wu's question.
"There are many strange cases in the world, and there are many strange criminal motives. Anything can happen."
Lu Sheng looked at Xiao Wu, who was still worried, and continued to ask, "What did you find in the Meijia Hotel? Can't you tell me? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Xiao Wu did not answer Lu Sheng, but changed the topic with the case.
"Team Yan asked us to investigate the fire 10 years ago. Wasn't that fire an accident? Did someone want to kill Zhao Shi?"
Lu Sheng knew that Xiao Wu was changing the subject, and did not force it. He then said, "After investigating, I found out that this Lin attack happens every time. It is really strange."
"If the fire was not an accident, then the person who set the fire was probably the person who killed Bai Longqiang."
Xiao Wu was still analyzing and expressed his confusion one after another.
"What's strange is why Lin Xi tried every means to put the blame for Bai Longqiang's death on Tang Liqin?"
Lu Sheng was also very confused about these situations. He listened to Xiao Wu talking about the case alone without interrupting.
Huangzhou City is not a big city, so the two of them arrived at the rehabilitation center in a short time.
Xiao Wu explained his purpose to the staff. The nursing staff of the rehabilitation center took Xiao Wu and Lu Sheng to find Zhao Shi's mother and watched from a distance.
The old man was sitting there blankly, humming something, probably holding a pillow tightly in his arms.
"This old lady is quite pitiful. Her illness is probably not too serious. She is awake and confused sometimes." The nurse said to Xiao Wu.
"Does anyone usually come to see her?" Xiao Wu asked the nurse beside him.
"The old lady is the only one left. My daughter-in-law gave it to me. She pays the fee on time every year."
"Does she always hold the things in her hands like this?" Xiao Wu looked at the things in the old man's arms and asked curiously.
"Yes, it has been like this since she came here. She said it was her cat, her civet cat." the nurse explained.
"Civet cat?" Xiao Wu glanced at the nurse and then at Lu Sheng, who was also looking at Xiao Wu at this time.
The conjecture that Bai Longqiang might be taking the blame was everyone's consensus. Thinking of the old man's strange behavior, the two people at this time were thinking about the same thing.
"The civet cat has replaced the prince. This old lady should know about his son."
Xiao Wu has a natural love for cats, but suddenly he feels that the fake cat in front of him is very sinful.
"Comrade police, I have other things to deal with, so you guys first..." The nurse looked at the two of them, but did not finish her words.
After Xiao Wu nodded, the nurse left.
Xiao Wu and Lu Sheng slowly approached the old man one after the other. The old man did not notice them and was still humming a little tune, "I am sad for Empress Li, but happy for..."
"What is this?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask as he listened to the old man's singing.
"Beijing opera," Lu Sheng roughly guessed, "maybe it's the story of a civet cat exchanging for a prince."
Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, it had obviously disturbed the old man. The old man frowned and muttered something.
As soon as he turned around, he looked at the two people standing next to him. The old man's pupils suddenly became very large, and the eyebrows that were frowning downwards a moment ago quickly moved upwards. At this time, the pillow in his hands was even tighter.
It was so tight that my nails dug deeply into the pillow.
The old man looked very frightened, but she didn't yell. She still sat there and couldn't help hiding her body. Maybe she wanted to move, but she was too frightened to move. There was liquid seeping from under the chair.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Xiao Wu and Lu Sheng were shocked, and all planned interviews were canceled. Instead, they slowly walked back step by step. At this time, the nurse also finished her work.
When he came over, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Looking at the two people walking backwards on thin ice, he felt a little confused for a moment.
The nurse took another look at the old man who seemed to be nailed to the spot. Then he realized something was wrong and hurried to the old man's side. Xiao Wu and Lu Sheng also took the opportunity to walk out quickly.
As soon as he left the old man's sight, he heard the old man yelling like crazy.
"Why is he so afraid of you?" Lu Sheng spoke first and asked Xiao Wu.
"Have you ever heard the story of a fox pretending to be a tiger? It was you who stood behind me just now." Xiao Wu noticed just now that the old man's eyes were mostly avoiding Lu Sheng.
"You were in front and almost blocked me. Are you afraid of me?" Lu Sheng was still wondering.
"Isn't it?"
"Yeah?"
"Yes!" Xiao Wu answered Lu Sheng firmly.
The two of them had already arrived in the car, still full of doubts about what had just happened, but they were somewhat certain about one thing.
"It's a pity that we didn't even get to talk a word." Xiao Wu said a little disappointed.
"It's okay. The old lady sang the Chinese quintessence for a while."
"It seems that what we guessed is still possible. This Zhao Shi was replaced by Bai Longqiang." Xiao Wu is now convinced of this.
"I think this old lady is really crazy. She probably doesn't know everything about what happened. She thinks her son is the prince. Although he changed his son, he doesn't think he will lose his life. If he had known this, would he still do this?
?" Xiao Wu suddenly sighed.
Lu Sheng explained in detail the story of the civet cat exchanging for the prince.
"Read more books. The prince in the story is a good man. A bad woman exchanged a cat for a good woman's prince, but the bad woman's child died in the end.
I think this old lady regretted such an exchange and thought that she could exchange her son for the cat she held tightly in her arms."
"Does this old lady know the inside story?"
"What I doubt now is whether the person who set the fire knew. In fact, this old lady may know the inside story."
Lu Sheng said this meaningfully. After Xiao Wu heard this, he suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, with big question marks and exclamation marks written on his face at the same time.
