It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
The sun dries up the last trace of moisture on the ground, and it is hot and dazzling.
Standing on the steps of the criminal investigation team, Xiang Wan remembered an important thing.
"Second police officers, did we not eat?"
Bai Muchuan turned around, the car key in his hand sparkled in the sunlight, like his cold eyes, flashed by.
The person who answered her was Huang He beside Bai Muchuan, "Teacher Xiang, haven't you had lunch yet?"
His suspicious look gave Xiang Wan a bad premonition.
"Have you eaten it?"
Huang He nodded, looked at her blankly, and then at Bai Muchuan, thinking about how to answer, "We'll have something to eat with the brothers after the press conference!"
Damn!
Xiang Wan's heart seemed to be on fire.
This Bai Muchuan has such a refreshing black belly!
Since he had already eaten, why did he refuse so confidently when Mama Li asked her, with the air of justice that he would waste sleep and food for work
A wave of anger rose from the soles of her feet, as if she had been stung by a bee, she asked Bai Muchuan unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Bai Muchuan had a "why" indifferent expression on his face, "Did you ask?"
Yes, she didn't ask. But does his conversation with Li Ma look like someone who has "eat casually"
Xiang Wan was a little angry, although she didn't know where it came from - after all, Bai Muchuan was not obliged to control her food and drink. But she had that feeling of being fooled.
"I'm starving. I have to eat before I can start work." She frowned angrily, looking annoyed and a little naive.
Bai Muchuan glanced at her, threw the key to Huang He, and stepped forward with his long legs.
Huang He shrugged and signaled Xiang Wan to follow, "Teacher Xiang, let's go, we'll accompany you out to eat."
Xiang Wan was lucky to have a thoughtful person like Huang He who knew how to take care of other people's emotions, otherwise, she would have been pissed off by Bai Muchuan.
…
Outside the Criminal Investigation Brigade is a spacious street, and about 100 meters further on, there is a small alley with many uneven "fly restaurants" with simple decoration and "simple" facilities. Xiang Wan was used to this kind of restaurant, but he never thought that Bai Muchuan, who wore a seven-figure watch, would eat in this kind of restaurant.
"A bowl of noodles." He said.
The boss looked at the three of them and was slightly taken aback, "Okay, sit down for a while."
Xiang Wan understood.
He didn't eat, and he certainly wasn't going to pay for her. Maybe she was afraid that she couldn't afford the expensive ones, so she chose a cheap place.
She suddenly felt a little sour in her stomach, and sat down lazily, seeing Bai Muchuan flipping through her phone in a serious manner, she smiled, "Officer Bai is really understanding!"
Bai Muchuan didn't raise his head, "You're welcome."
I thank you uncle! Xiang Wan was roaring from the bottom of her heart, but meeting such a calm master, she couldn't find an outlet to vent her anger.
So all three fell silent.
Sitting opposite each other, each playing with their mobile phones. When the noodles came, Xiang Wan took a sip, "Wow!"
tasty! Totally unexpectedly delicious.
In Jincheng, Xiang Wan had eaten at eight if not ten noodle restaurants, and had never eaten such delicious noodles.
She stuffed several mouthfuls into her mouth "sucking and sucking", and slightly eased the hunger, before she cast a kind look at Bai Muchuan.
"Sure enough, if the mountain is not high, there are immortals. The noodles here are so delicious, refreshing and not mushy, delicious and not sticky. Officer Bai, thank you!"
The corners of Bai Muchuan's lips raised with a deep meaning.
Only then did Xiang Wan realize what he had said.
Everyone said no thanks, but she thanked me eagerly.
She ate hard, and finally drank all the soup, burped—
A hand stretched out in front of him, with white and slender knuckles, held a piece of tissue paper.
Xiang Wan looked at the owner of the hand strangely. Officer Bai's face was expressionless, but his eyes seemed to say: "You look really bad."
"..."
Well, for the sake of delicious noodles, forgive him.
Xiang Wan wiped his mouth and just squinted his eyes comfortably when Bai Muchuan got up to pay the bill—
Uh! Xiang Wan was embarrassed and wanted to fight to pay, but Officer Bai had already left the noodle shop.
…
The scorching sun is like fire, burning the heart of a middle-aged girl.
For some reason, Xiang Wan felt that the scene where he went to pay just now was very MAN.
Maybe he has never been loved by a man, so he is so easily moved by Xiao En Xiaohui? On the way to Zhaojiahang's house, Xiang Wan kept thinking about this question.
However, with Huang He driving, Bai Muchuan was lying with his eyes closed, he didn't even bother to open them, and he was not on the same channel as her.
well!
Xiang Wan felt like beeping the dog.
…
Zhao Jiahang did not live in the urban area.
I heard that they specially chose a place with good geomantic omen in the suburbs, and built a... castle by themselves.
Let's call it a castle.
The outside is designed in an ancient Chinese style courtyard, but the main building inside is like a classic European-style castle. The white exterior wall color is in a lush greenery, and the color contrast is very strong. The trees in the yard are tall and lush, and the large canopy covers the castle very cool.
...or rather, a little spooky.
cold! This was Xiang Wan's first reaction when he entered.
Perhaps the great white lanterns on either side of the lintel;
Maybe it's the long white stripes hanging from the trees in the yard;
Maybe it's the big word "sacrifice" on the mourning hall;
Maybe it was the posthumous photo that Xiang Wan had seen countless times on the Internet...
Let her have that creepy feeling again.
Since she was a child, her mother would not let her go to the funeral, saying that the mourning hall is too yin, and people with insufficient yang will not be able to overcome it, and they will easily get sick. Xiang Wan didn't believe this before, but now, standing in the gloomy mourning hall, listening to the mourning music that seems to be able to penetrate the sorrow into the bone marrow, and watching Zhao Jiahang's smile being vividly hung there -
She believed it.
Yin Qi seems to really exist.
Bai Muchuan looked at her pale face, "Haven't you seen the mourning hall?"
nonsense! Xiang Wan was provoked by him, and the fear that grew from the bottom of his heart suddenly disappeared, "Who is a normal person who has nothing to do and sees the mourning hall every day?"
Bai Muchuan pursed his thin lips, "Then go in and burn some incense."
The dead are the greatest. This is the custom in China.
The three of them burned incense and left the mourning hall. Xiang Wan realized that they hadn't seen the target person who was supposed to be here—Xu Zhaodi from the beginning to the end.
Huang He and Bai Muchuan exchanged glances, found a busy funeral worker in the mourning hall, called him out, and then showed his ID.
"Hello, let's find Xu Zhaodi."
The young man was stunned for a moment, carefully looked at the police officer's ID card, and then turned his back to make a phone call.
I don't know what he said to the other party, but when he turned his head again, his face looked much better, "This way please!"
…
There is a distance of two hundred meters between the white castle and the mourning hall.
When stepping into the castle area, Xiang Wan walked very lightly, full of curiosity, but embarrassed to look around.
The castle is very mysterious.
Even more mysterious than a castle is its mistress.
Xu Zhaodi "received" them through a gauze white curtain.
She said, ugly face, it is inconvenient to meet guests, for fear of frightening them!
In the previous files, Xiang Wan had seen photos of Xu Zhaodi's car accident. In addition to her lower limbs being paralyzed, her face was also injured.
So, Zhao Jiahang faced such a face every day, how could he refuse the physical temptation of being young and beautiful
Human nature is ugly and realistic.
Xiang Wan felt a little sympathy for the woman in the gauze curtain.
Especially when hearing her gentle voice, I feel very close.
"Xiaocheng, get some water for the two police officers. And this lady, what do you like to drink..."
"No need." Bai Muchuan interrupted, "We're here to ask questions."
His voice was cool, freezing the atmosphere to ice.
Huang He was stunned, and quickly pulled out a smile to sing blush, "It's like this, Ms. Xu. We still have some doubts about your husband's case, and we need to check with you. Originally, this required you to go to the Criminal Investigation Team to make a record in person. But considering your inconvenience, there are so many things to deal with at home. So, we came here by ourselves... "
He speaks much better.
Xiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Zhaodi chuckled.
"It's true that my legs are inconvenient. There's nothing about him that I need to deal with."
Her tone was a little stiff. Xiang Wan guessed that it was because she only found out that her husband had a woman outside after Zhao Jiahang's death, so she couldn't accept it and couldn't help but sigh.
However, Bai Muchuan obviously didn't have that much sympathy. He motioned Huang He to take notes, and spoke coldly.
"When did you know that Tian Xiaoya exists?"
