i must be in hell

After Ning Xiao asked that sentence, all the people present, including the criminal police, looked shocked, and Li Aiguo's face was not only shocked, but also a little panicked.

Ning Xiao knew that he had made the right bet. He took a look at Li Aiguo and continued, "How can an eleven or twelve-year-old child survive outside without the care of adults? And the few times I saw him, he was always well dressed. , and clean, not at all like a stray child who ran away from home."

"This at least shows that someone is taking care of him secretly, doesn't it? Maybe someone is hiding the child and doesn't want to be found."

After Ning Xiao finished speaking, he saw Li Aiguo's hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists.

He smiled and continued: "Obviously the child has been gone for so long, and you have thought about holding a funeral for his mother, but you haven't spared much time to find the child. It seems that you don't really care about the whereabouts of the child? No, maybe I You should say, you know where he is."

Ning Xiao looked straight into the opponent's eyes, his gaze was burning and he could not flinch. "Let me take a guess. In fact, Zhang Weiwei didn't disappear at all, right? He was just hidden by someone, and you deliberately called the police to report that the child was missing. Who are you trying to deceive?"

"Do you want to deceive these criminal policemen, or is it someone else who wants to hide?"

Every time Ning Xiao said something, Li Aiguo trembled, as if he was being tortured invisible.But he still pursed his lips tightly, still refusing to say a word.

But Ning Xiao knew that this person was already overwhelmed, and what he needed now was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

So, he leaned forward and whispered in Li Aiguo's ear: "Officer Xu came to you before the accident, maybe he came to tell you that he already knew who the murderer was, maybe he was trying to persuade you to testify in court, but you hesitated Afterwards, someone kidnapped Police Officer Xu, which made you even more afraid to tell the truth, didn’t you, Li Aiguo!” He raised his tone in the last few sentences, which made the middle-aged man unbearably sob. A dozen or so big men screamed like a stray dog.

Ning Xiao had no intention of letting him go.

"You know who the murderer is."

Except for the occasional whimper leaking from his throat, Li Aiguo still didn't speak, but the expression of fear on his face had already betrayed him.Ning Xiao took all his expressions into his eyes, turned around, and said to Zhao Yun and the others:

"Let's go."

"What? But he hasn't said a word yet."

"He has told me a lot." Ning Xiao said, "Now we are only one step away from the truth."

"Where are you going now?" Zhao Yun asked.

Ning Xiao thought about it. "I want to know the last place Xu Shangyu went to before he was kidnapped."

One minute later, he was brought to Xu Shangyu's desk in the police station.This office is shared by several people, and Xu Shangyu's desk is in a place by the window.The arrangement on the table is very simple, except for a few police logs and case files, there is only a pen, a book, and an empty photo frame.

"Before Captain Xu lost contact with us that day, he went back to the police force once." Standing behind him, Zhao Yun said, "However, we have checked several times. It seems that Captain Xu just came back for a walk and left nothing Down."

"No, he must have left something behind." Ning Xiao said: "Xu Shangyu is not the kind of person who does useless work. If it wasn't related to the case, he wouldn't have made such a trip in vain."

With Xu Shangyu's character, he is a very efficient person. Since he came back to the police force, he must have discovered something and must have left some clues.It can only be our problem that these clues are not found. It must be missed somewhere, and the observation is not careful enough.

Ning Xiao was muttering to himself with his chin on his hands, when suddenly he found that his surroundings became quiet all of a sudden. He turned around and saw Zhao Yun looking at him with strange eyes.

"What?" Ning Xiao looked his whole body up and down, his trousers were not zippered, and there was no dirt on his body.What does Zhao Yun's expression mean?

"No, I just thought, you haven't known our captain for long." Zhao Yundao: "Sometimes I think you know him better than the team members who have been with us for many years." He scratched his head, "Probably this Is it fate? Some people always hit it off."

If Lu Fei were here, he would definitely not be as polite as Zhao Yun, but would just say: Since you hit it off so well with our captain, and our captain has expressed his feelings for you, you two should be together, and everyone is happy.

Ning Xiao was not stupid, he heard Zhao Yun's subconscious meaning from Zhao Yun's unsatisfactory tone.But he didn't bother to say more about such things that became more unclear the more he explained.

"This book..." He picked up a book that had been turned upside down on the table, and when he looked carefully, he realized that it was his own.

"Our captain has been reading this novel for the past few days. Is there something wrong?"

It turned out that Xu Shangyu really bought back his novel and read it. Ning Xiao flipped through it casually, and suddenly found something was wrong.There are obvious creases on a few corners of the pages, but the rest of the book is clean, and there is not even a single scratch on the cover, but Xu Shangyu folded the corners of those few pages.He also looked at the layout of Xu Shangyu's entire desk, which was simple, neat, and tidy.How can a person with a slight cleanliness crease randomly make creases on a newly purchased book?

This is unreasonable!Perhaps this is the clue left by Xu Shangyu.

Ning Xiao flipped through those pages with a little excitement, and he could basically recite the contents of the book backwards.In a book of more than ten pages, all the sentences add up to tens of thousands of words.Is there really any useful content here?

No, you can't simply fall into a routine.Ning Xiao shook his head and denied himself, a lot of redundant information would disrupt his thinking.You can't put all your energy into it now, and you should collect more clues.

"Your captain came back to the police force that day, where did you go?" Ning Xiao asked.

The answer he got was cold storage.

Yes, at that time Li Aihua's body was still in the cold storage of the police station, Xu Shangyu must have gone to verify some facts.

"Are you going to see it? Forensic Doctor Ji is doing an autopsy right now, and the results will be out soon." Zhao Yun asked cautiously, trying to figure out Ning Xiao's expression.

"No, I won't go." Ning Xiao shook his hand at him, "Tell me after the autopsy results are out, can I stay here alone now?"

"Yes, yes, but be careful not to flip through those files casually."

"I know." Ning Xiao waved his hand impatiently. "I'm not interested in them, let me be alone for a while."

After Zhao Yun left, Ning Xiao sat at Xu Shangyu's desk.The entire police force is now rarely quiet. Everyone is running up and down because of Xu Shangyu's affairs. They are so busy that few people have time to stay in the police station.Ning Xiao closed his eyes, listening to the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door from time to time.

The voice spread far in the empty corridor, da, da, da, it seemed to hit my heart one by one.

Ning Xiao's brain was running at high speed, pulling out all the clues and slowly connecting them together.

And there is one doubtful point, which Ning Xiao has not figured out until now.

Why did Zhang Weiwei hide, and why did Li Aiguo act so stubbornly? Is there a certain character that they all felt afraid of and had to avoid?Who will that person be?

No, not just jealousy.If the person who made Zhang Weiwei have to hide was the murderer who killed Li Aihua, then why Li Aiguo still dare not tell the truth.Is it just because of fear of retaliation, unlike, rather than fear, it is more like a kind of... maintenance?

Does such a person exist?He killed your relatives, but you are unwilling to let him be punished by law. What kind of power is it? It surpasses the anger in people's hearts and makes people who know the truth choose to remain silent.

Ning Xiao scanned "Detective Timor" and looked at the black-clothed detective on the cover.For a moment, his eyes met Timor's, as if the character in his pen was looking directly at him through the thin paper.

Guess what?Ning Xiao.In this world, what is a greater power than hate?

Ning Xiao seemed to hear Timor asking himself silently.

In the next second, he jumped up from the chair.

"Yes, yes, that figured it out."

"Why did Zhang Weiwei hide?"

"Why does Li Aiguo defend the murderer?"

"Who can kill the killer in the first time, but will not be suspected!"

"Everything is connected!" Ning Xiao couldn't help himself with excitement, this feeling of breaking through a big puzzle at once made him addicted like taking drugs.But after turning around in place a few times, he felt a little unhappy again.

This fellow Xu Shangyu discovered the answer earlier than himself.This kind of feeling that someone has already discovered the treasure, but has already been caught first, is really uncomfortable!

When Ning Xiao was caught between joy and entanglement, Zhao Yun suddenly pushed open the door and came in, with a face full of bewilderment, "Ning Xiao, it's not good! Forensic Ji just found out that the cause of Li Aihua's death..."

"It's not potassium cyanide poisoning at all, is it?" Ning Xiao told the truth before he spoke.

Zhao Yun could only stare at him with wide eyes, "You, you installed a bug on me?"

"Of course not." Ning Xiao said with a smile: "At most, I just installed a cheating device on my brain."

Before Zhao Yun could understand his boastful words, Ning Xiao had already pushed the door and left. "Let's go and find Ji Yuqiu, I still have a lot to ask him."

"Ah, but." Zhao Yun looked at the time anxiously, "It's only less than four hours, and we still have no clue about the murderer, so it won't be too late to save the captain, right?"

"Murderer?" Ning Xiao looked back at him and slapped his head. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have found the murderer."

He grinned at the stunned Zhao Yun, showing his white teeth.

"So now, let's go find him on a date."
