Zhou Zhi felt relaxed the moment he saw Xu Yin and Xu Xiehui.

"It's great to see you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

The morning light is faint, and the sun has not yet risen.

Zhou Zhi opened his eyes, smelled the familiar smell of disinfectant, and looked at Xu Yin who was lying on the side of the hospital bed and clutching his hand.

Trying to squeeze out a smile: "Yinyin, it's good to meet you!"

Stretch your hand to your lower abdomen: "Where's the baby?"

Seeing that her face turned pale with anxiety, Xu Yin grabbed her hand and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, the baby is safe now, there is no problem."

"It's you, the doctor said: you have to stay in the hospital for three days, you can't get out of bed, you have to stay in bed!"

"Otherwise, the baby might leave us."

Hearing that the baby was still there, Zhou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He put his hands on the lower abdomen and rubbed it gently, his smile was full of tenderness.

Her demeanor was gentle and soft, and her smile was exceptionally gentle. At this moment, her whole body exuded a strong gentleness from the inside out, which made Xu Xiehui's heart tremble.

Zhou Zhi kept staring at Xu Yin's lips, knowing from the shape of her lips that the baby was still there, he smiled like a flower.

"I know!"

In addition to being happy, seeing Xu Yin and Xu Xiehui's Dai Qing, he thanked them again and again.

"You have worked hard these two days, thank you for finding me!"

"I think: now you should all go back and rest."

At Zhou Zhi's insistence, the two left the ward and went back to rest.

After they left, Zhou Zhi began to recall the whole incident.

The two people who forcibly took her away, she remembered what they looked like.

When I went to the old house before, I saw them, and it was precisely because I saw them that I knew they were the bodyguards of the Lu family, so I didn't guard against them.

I asked the nurse for a pen and paper, scribbled on the paper, and drew the faces of the two people.

but……

In my heart, I still regarded Lu Xizhou as a stranger.

Besides Lu Xizhou, who else can command and control the Lu family's bodyguards?

Even if Lu Xizhou said he didn't know, she wouldn't believe it!

She will not question Lu Xizhou, nor will she talk to this man again.

From then on, just pretend that this person does not exist.

After three days of recuperating in the hospital, Zhou Zhi was discharged.

The identity of the corpse floating on the sea was finally found out. Her name is Li Xue, she is 26 years old, and she is not from this city. The civil affairs department can find her marriage information. She is married and her husband is Dong Qiang.

The second criminal investigation team held another departmental meeting to discuss whether Li Xue's death was an accident or a murder.

Chen Hong, Xie Nan, Fang Xing, Yu Xin, Xu Yang, Xu Xiehui, and Zhou Zhi all attended the meeting.

Xu Xiehui raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of Zhou Zhi: "Let's talk about the cause of death first."

Zhou Zhi saw what he meant, and displayed the cause of death on the big screen.

"Judging from the current situation, the deceased died of drowning, and homicide is temporarily ruled out."

"The deceased was a pregnant woman. Although the cause of death was drowning, our trace inspection department did not find her shoes, wallet, mobile phone, or ID card at the incident site. This is one of the suspicious points."

"Doubt [-]: The deceased had been going to the hospital on time for an obstetric examination. The doctor who received her said: She was looking forward to this child. A expectant mother who was expecting the birth of the child would commit suicide?"

After Zhou Zhi raised his doubts, he sat down and listened to everyone's discussion.

Yu Xin stood up and shared the information he investigated with everyone.

"I found Dong Qiang's home according to the information registered by the civil affairs department. When I went, he was not at home, but his mother was at home. I asked her to come and confess the dead body. She refused, so she gave me a call and asked me to call Li's family. Come to identify the corpse."

"It can be seen from this that Li Xue has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law."

Fang Xing watched him sit down, and continued to add: "I called Dong Qiang and told him the news of Li Xue's death, and he cried badly on the phone."

"Also, he has bought the latest flight, which will arrive this afternoon."

"In addition, we learned from Dong Qiang that although his mother, Xiao Yuhong, did not want the original Li Xue to collect the body, the relationship between the two of them is barely getting along.

Everyone communicated with each other what they knew.

Now the crux of the case is: did the deceased commit suicide?Or murdered?

If the deceased had committed suicide, the case would have nothing to pursue.

After discussing with Xu Xiehui for a long time, Zhou Zhi decided to visit Li Xue's house and meet Li Xue's mother-in-law.

Others launched an investigation based on Li Xue's interpersonal relationship.

When the two arrived at Li Xue's house, Li Xue's mother-in-law Xiao Yuhong was somewhat nervous when she saw them.

"Comrade Xu, I... I didn't kill anyone!"

"I don't know how my daughter-in-law died!"

"You can't wrong a good person!"

Xu Xiehui smiled lightly: "Auntie, we didn't say you were the murderer! We are here to investigate the situation!"

"Don't worry, we won't wrong you as long as you haven't done it!"

He and Zhou Zhi didn't wear uniforms, they were dressed in casual clothes, plus he was smiling from beginning to end, the old lady relaxed a lot.

"Okay! You can ask whatever you want, as long as I know, I will tell you."

Xu Xiehui was in charge of questioning, while Zhou Zhi used the excuse to go to the bathroom to look for suspicious situations.

after an hour

The two left Li Xue's house at the same time and sat in the car chatting.

"what have you found?"

Xu Xiehui shook his head: "Chatting with the old lady, the old lady responded fluently, nothing unusual."

"Where is your place? I saw you walked around the house, did you find it?"

Zhou Zhi has no reservations and speaks out what he sees.

"I noticed that when the old lady was chatting with you, her eyes were always on the shoe rack, but she didn't find anything suspicious."

"Captain Xu, tell me... when we saw Li Xue's body, she didn't wear shoes. Why?"

"This problem has troubled me for a long time. If Li Xue fell into the water by mistake, can't both shoes be on her feet?"

"Today, seeing Li Xue's mother-in-law kept looking at the shoe rack, I feel more and more that there is an article here!"

Xu Xiehui felt that what she said was very reasonable: "This case, don't be in a hurry to close it, let's investigate it later."

"If the family of the deceased wants to take the body away, it will be delayed."

The two agreed.

It was already dark.

Based on the lessons learned, Xu Xiehui dared not let Zhou Zhi go home alone.

He deliberately sent her to Zhou's house, watched people enter the unit door, and then left.

Zhou's house is an old-style community, and the lights in the corridors are controlled by voice. In the past few days, the lights have broken, and the electrician has not come to fix them, so the surroundings are pitch black.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help thinking about the experience of being thrown into a small black room three days ago.

Although the portraits of the two suspects had been given to Xu Xiehui and they were still being investigated, she still had a kind of fear from the bottom of her heart.

When I took out the key to open the door, my hands were shaking all the time, and the key couldn't be inserted into the keyhole at all.

In desperation, the key fell to the ground.

Zhou Zhi squatted down, groping in the dark for the key.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her hand.

Just when Zhou Zhi was about to yell, a key was suddenly stuffed into his palm.

The familiar rosewood aroma is lingering and lingering.
