Chapter 16: Sharp blade

After I said this, I saw Officer Yang, who had originally looked relaxed, turned ugly again. Bai Qi still had a mysterious smile on his face, while Lin Yingxue snorted coldly and said nothing.

After a long while, Officer Yang finally said, "Why did Xiao Wang have an empty bag? And why did he go to such great lengths to steal the third empty bag? If he is not the murderer, what was his motive?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know either. After all, he is dead now. Perhaps only he himself knows the reason for these things."

At this time, Lin Yingxue said in a cold voice: "You also know that the person is dead. Although your suspicions just now are all correct, the real reason is only known to Xiao Wang himself. Who says that thirteen or fourteen years old can't kill people? Killing as a child is actually much easier than killing as an adult, and it is easier to escape suspicion. This may explain why so many police forces were unable to stop the murderer from killing people ten years ago."

I really didn't know how to tell Lin Yingxue. I always felt that she was a person who fit my characteristics very well, that is, big breasts and no brains. What surprised me even more was that Officer Yang actually agreed with Lin Yingxue's point of view and kept nodding at her with an admiring look.

At this moment, I suddenly had an illusion. Was it me who was not normal in the head? Was there something wrong with my thinking? Was it really as Lin Yingxue guessed, that it was just because the heart-digger was a child at the time that he did not attract the attention of the police

Looking at Lin Yingxue's smug eyes and Officer Yang's unwavering faith, I could only shake my head in self-mockery. This is the police's business, why should I take it so seriously? Since they all said that the murderer was Xiao Wang, I shouldn't get involved.

"Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much. Officer Yang, Uncle Bai, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back first. I haven't slept well in the past few days because of what happened in the past few days. I want to go back and have a good rest."

Officer Yang nodded and said, "Okay. Anyway, on behalf of the police, I thank you for your help this time. If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to me and I will do my best to help you."

I just smiled and turned to leave Officer Yang's office. To be honest, I was still a little disappointed with Officer Yang. Although I already knew that it was basically a fantasy for him to ask me to be a policeman, the fact that he never mentioned it today still hurt me a little. I felt like I was a tool that had no value after being used and could be discarded at will.

Before I even reached the door of the police station, Bai Qi's voice suddenly came from behind me: "Ji Wen, wait for me."

I turned around and saw Bai Qi and Bai Longfei walking towards me quickly. I asked in confusion, "Uncle Bai, is there anything else?"

As he was talking, Bai Qi had already come to my side, turned around and winked at Bai Longfei. Bai Longfei understood and stood aside, leaving the space for Bai Qi and me.

"Let's go. I haven't been back to Zhongwei City for a long time. Please accompany me to take a look around."

After hearing what Bai Qi said, I felt embarrassed to refuse, so I nodded and started walking aimlessly with Bai Qi in the green belt in front of the police station.

"Was Uncle Bai also from Ningxia?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, I worked as a clerk here when I was young, so I am basically half Ningxia, right? How about you? Judging from your accent, you are not from Ningxia either, right?"

"My family is in Sichuan. I didn't study well, so I came here to work." Every time I chat with Bai Qi, I feel very calm. Maybe it's because of his experienced way of speaking, or maybe it's because he can understand everything I say, so I don't have to put so much effort in talking to him.

Bai Qi pointed to a bench in front of us, and he and I sat down in front of it. Bai Qi continued, "Sichuan is a good place. I've been there several times. The name of the Land of Abundance is well-deserved. But you can come from Sichuan to this small city to work. It seems that you have a story."

"I don't have any story to tell. I just feel it's a bit embarrassing to be a courier in front of relatives and friends. It's not that I look down on this profession, it's just that I have a high position for myself." Bai Qi's words reminded me of some things in the past, and I instantly felt depressed again.

Once upon a time, I saw her walking on the street corner arm in arm with another man. When I turned around to question her, she said this.

"When you are able to surpass that man, come and question me. At that time, at least you will still have the capital to question me."

Since then, I broke up with her. In fact, what she said at that time was the reason why I had been unwilling to return to my hometown to work. I once swore that I must get higher power, status and wealth than that man, and then question her face to face, do you regret it

Seeing that I fell into silence, Bai Qi reached out and patted my shoulder and said, "I won't beat around the bush with you. I have always been the most accurate in judging people. I can see that although you don't care about anything on the surface, you have a strong desire in your heart, perhaps a desire for wealth, or perhaps a desire for power. Am I right?"

I looked up at Bai Qi. Under his clear eyes, I found that I couldn't lie at all and could only nod slightly.

"Remember the special recruitment I mentioned before? In fact, if I were in charge of this matter, I would definitely hire you into our special case team. Your analytical ability and insight fully meet the standards of a special case team member. You are a rare talent."

Hearing this, I smiled bitterly and said, "So, in the end, I still can't be specially recruited by you, right?"

Bai Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "To be precise, the chances of being specially recruited are not high. After all, you are now an idle person in society. Moreover, your analytical ability is an abstract ability that cannot be easily demonstrated. Even if you demonstrate it, the people who review it probably won't see your shining points. So I called you out this time to tell you the truth, because I know you are a smart person, so I don't want to lie to you."

Compared to the cold Officer Yang, Bai Qi, who was willing to confess to me, made me feel more friendly. I smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for your confession. In fact, I already knew it would be like this, and I didn't have high expectations. I'd better deliver my express and make money to marry a wife as soon as possible."

Bai Qi suddenly looked at me mysteriously and said, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Don't be so depressed. What I mean is that although we can't recruit you and give you a formal position, our special case team can hire you. What do you think?"

"Hire me? How?"

"It's a simple employment relationship. That is to say, if we encounter a difficult case, we will hire you. If you solve the case before us, then our special case team will pay you 10,000 yuan. But if our special case team solves the case first, then you will not get any reward. This is completely a test of your ability. What do you think?"

The conditions proposed by Bai Qi are absolutely very tempting to me. What do I lack the most now? Of course, it is money! If I can make extra money in this way, perhaps my wish to contract the express delivery area will soon be realized.

But thinking back, can I really do this kind of thing? At best, I am just a person who is interested in solving cases. If I were asked to do this as a career, would I be able to do it

I pondered for a moment, but didn't know how to answer Bai Qi. Bai Qi didn't ask me, but said directly: "I know it's difficult for you to give me an answer now. Let's put it this way. This case is your internship. If you can find the real murderer, I will pay you 10,000 yuan on behalf of the special case team. If not, I won't blame you, but you must give me an answer when the time comes. What do you think?"

"You also think that Xiao Wang is not the real murderer?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "This is very obvious. This Xiao Wang is at best an accomplice. The real murderer was very cunning this time and did not show up at the delivery site. It is very likely that he guessed something and let Xiao Wang take the blame. Don't blame Xiao Lin. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Sometimes she is stubborn and it is difficult for her to change her mind. She also likes to compete with others. But if you can really convince her, then she will become your indispensable partner. In short, just investigate. If you need any help, just let us know. Our special case team will definitely satisfy you."

Bai Qi chatted with me for a few more sentences and then flew back with Bai Longfei. I was so excited that I couldn't calm down. I didn't expect that Bai Qi, the leader of the special case team, would give me such preferential treatment. If the case was really solved, I could get extra money equivalent to three months' salary in one go!

But now Xiao Wang is dead, and the clues are completely cut off. Where should I start? At present, I can only wait and see if this empty package will appear again. As long as this empty package appears again, there will definitely be new clues. And the flash of inspiration that appeared in my mind, if I can remember what it was, maybe all this will have a big turn!

When I got home, it was already past seven in the afternoon. I packed some food from the street and ate it at home. Then I was bored so I decided to play games to kill time.

I don't know how long we played, but it was already completely dark. When I was having fun, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was very light, but I could hear it clearly. I looked at the clock and it was already past nine in the evening. Who would come at this time? Could it be that Lin Yingxue came again

As soon as I thought that the other person might be Lin Yingxue, I suddenly didn't want to open the door. I felt that she and I were incompatible and she was always making things difficult for me intentionally or unintentionally.

Originally I planned to pretend that I wasn't at home, but the knocking on the door didn't stop. In the end, I was too annoyed by the knocking to concentrate on the game, so I planned to rush to the door quickly to open it, and then go back quickly to prepare to gather together to fight the big dragon.

However, the moment I opened the door, before I could run back, I suddenly saw a sharp dagger with a cold glow stretched out from the crack of the door and stabbed directly at my chest!

The dagger appeared without any warning, and I had no time to dodge before it stabbed my chest. My eyes widened and my mind went blank!
