i must be in hell

It was clearly twelve noon, the sun was shining brightly outside, but the room was as cold as a morgue.

Ning Xiao sat on a chair, and opposite him stood and sat, two criminal police officers.

"Do you understand what I just said?" the other party asked.

Ning Xiao nodded.

"You can entrust a defender for yourself now." The criminal police said in a business-like tone: "Before the formal transfer of prosecution, we will at least let you meet with your own defense lawyer. You can also ask..."

"No, no need." Ning Xiao interrupted him, "I can do it myself."

"You must have a lawyer!" The criminal policeman on the opposite side was very impatient, "Listen, boy, do you understand? This is the procedure. As a suspect who may be sentenced to death, this is your own right. Otherwise you Thought we were looking for trouble..."

"I said no."

Ning Xiao interrupted him again, and admired the impatient expression on the other side's face. "According to what you said, before the matter is concluded, I may be sentenced to death, but I may also be completely innocent. The reason why I am willing to waste the whole morning staying here obediently is not to listen to your arrangement to entrust some lawyers, but to Prove your innocence."

Ning Xiao looked up at the clock on the wall, it was [-]:[-], he had already missed his lunch time.This recognition made him feel a little bad, and his tone was a little stinging.

"Before you are sure that I am a death row inmate, you must at least let me know who I am suspected of killing. Also, Mr. Police, it seems that you did not show an arrest warrant when you went to my house this morning. Is your procedure legal?"

Ning Xiao looked at the clock again, "One last thing, it's lunch time, I want to have lunch, otherwise I will accuse you of abusing the suspect."

He turned his head and smiled at the two stunned detectives in front of him.

"So, where's my lunch now?"

"Oh shit."

The detective was stunned for a few seconds, cursing in a low voice, before he realized that this time he had encountered a thorn.He and his companion looked at each other, and the shorter companion nodded, opened the door and walked out.As soon as he went out, he met another person - a man with glasses in a white coat.

"How's the situation inside?"

The short detective shook his head, "It's a bit troublesome, I ran into a thorn."

"Oh!" The man in glasses who held him back laughed, "Lawyer, white-collar, or..." He raised his eyebrows and compared them with his little fingers, which in jargon meant being a gangster.

"Neither, it was found out in the documents that he is an ordinary person, who knows?" The short policeman sighed, "I'm going to find Captain Xu, have you seen him?"

"I see, I'm squatting outside."

"Squatting there again?"

"You understand, Captain Xu." The man with glasses thought for a while, as if he was looking for a suitable word. "Hehe, it's a bit unique."

When Xu Shangyu was found, he was squatting in the aisle outside the Criminal Police Brigade and counting ants. The 1.8-meter tall man squatted on the ground, watching the small ants moving on the ground so intently that he didn't even notice someone calling him.

"Captain Xu, Captain Xu!"

After being called several times in a row, Xu Shangyu noticed the person standing in front of him.

"A Fei, what's the matter, time to eat?" Xu Shangyu stretched his waist and stood up. When he stood up, others noticed that this person was much taller than imagined.

Tall and straight, coupled with a pair of handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, it is very attractive. People with such appearance should be on TV and on the runway, and should not appear in the yard of a small criminal police team.

"No, there is a person who wants you to go over and interrogate, but we can't take it." Lu Fei said anxiously, "It's the one from yesterday..."

Xu Shangyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and looked at his watch.

"It's time for lunch, let's go, let's go to the cafeteria first."

"Team Xu!"

"What's the rush? The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing." Xu Shangyu ignored the anxious little follower behind him, dusted his pants, got up and walked to the cafeteria.

"By the way, Ah Fei, do you have an umbrella?"

"No." Lu Fei was a little annoyed, he didn't go to interrogate the suspect, what kind of food to eat, just eat, and asked if he would bring an umbrella for what?Sometimes I really don't know what my captain is thinking about all day long.

"I didn't bring it either." Xu Shangyu looked sad. "What if it rains later?"

Lu Fei was overjoyed, "How can it rain? The sun is so bright now, and the weather forecast says it will be sunny."

Xu Shangyu didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.

The hair on Lu Fei's back stood up, and he subconsciously felt chills from the laughter.

"Let's make a bet. If it rains later, you will pay for a taxi to take me home tonight."

Lu Fei subconsciously felt that something was wrong, every time the captain smiled like this, it must be something bad, but he still tried to be brave and said: "You can gamble, but what if you lose?"

"Ha ha."

Xu Shangyu looked at him with a self-confidence that made people itch. "How could I lose?"

The minute hand of the clock on the wall turned half a circle again, and the door of the interrogation room was opened again, and a person walked in, breaking the silence in the room.

"Captain Xu!" The criminal policeman who had been facing Ning Xiao silently seemed to see a savior, and rushed to meet him.

Ning Xiao's sight also shifted accordingly, looking at the tall man who walked in. About 1.8 meters seven, with a muscular body, but not knotted. Glancing at the figure hidden under the coat, Ning Xiao has at least six-pack abs.

Known as the captain, he should be the little leader of this group of criminal police, but no matter how you look at it, he looks too young, and he is too handsome, he doesn't look like a policeman.

While Ning Xiao was looking at Xu Shangyu, Xu Shangyu was also looking at the suspect silently.

With a white and tender face, he looks like a student who just graduated from college, but according to A Fei's description, this guy is definitely not simple, at least not as easy to mess with as ordinary college students.Xu Shangyu went through it in his mind for a while, then walked over with a smile.

"Ning Xiao, hello."

He sat down across from Ning Xiao generously, and handed over a lunch box by the way.

"Your lunch. I'm sorry it's late, does it suit your taste?"

This guy is still good, and Ning Xiao's mood improved slightly when he saw the lunch box.

"What kind of dishes do you have?"

"Braised eggplant, chicken drumsticks, green vegetables and mushrooms."

"Bought from outside?" Ning Xiao opened the lunch box, and the aroma came out.

"No, the fight in the cafeteria, as long as you don't dislike it."

Canteen food?Ning Xiao looked at the fresh and tender chicken legs and said, "The food in your cafeteria is better than what I eat during Chinese New Year."

"Isn't it? Then what do you usually eat?"

"Kimchi, instant noodles, occasionally buy some barbecue to eat." Ning Xiao picked up a piece of eggplant, and the moment he swallowed it, he was extremely moved.How long has it been since he had hot food?Can not remember.

Xu Shangyu looked at him in surprise, "Just eat these, and young people will not be healthy if they eat bubbles all the time."

"I know, what can I do if I don't have money? I can save it if I can."

Trying another bite of the chicken drumstick, Ning Xiao felt tears were about to fall, it was so delicious.

After he finished the previous sentence, Xu Shangyu looked at him with more pity.

"You can eat delicious food even if you don't have money. Get some vermicelli and green vegetables, and cook it yourself at home. It's much more delicious than instant noodles."

"But I can't cook."

"It's fine if you have an induction cooker, do you have one at home?"

"It seems to be there. I'll go back and look it up. How do I cook that side?"

"that is……"

Lu Fei stared dumbfounded at the two people in front of him who began to chat about daily life, one topic after another, and in a blink of an eye, they had already talked about which brand of laundry detergent was more economical and cost-effective.He and Zhao Yun beside him stared with big eyes and small eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

This is their captain?

This guy with a bitter face talking about laundry detergent is the suspect who was so aggressive and uncooperative just now?

These two people were talking about the neighborhood committee aunt in the interrogation room of the criminal police team?It's too timeless!Is it because they are too outdated, or the two people in front of me are too different.

Finally, Ning Xiao was full, and he filled the box cleanly, not missing a single grain of rice.

Xu Shangyu said pitifully: "Don't worry, there's more if you want to eat, I'll call you next time."

Hearing this, Ning Xiao put down the lunch box and glanced at him.

"No, I'll go home and eat by myself."

He wiped his mouth and put the lunch box away.

"What exactly are you looking for me for?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Xu Shangyu wrote lightly: "It's just that there is someone, ask if you know him."

"Who?"

"Fly, photo."

Xu Shangyu raised his hand to Lu Fei who was on the side, and Lu Fei handed over a photo.

"Do you know this person?"

Ning Xiao looked at the photo of a high school student wearing a school uniform. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.He frowned, unaware that his every move at this time was being watched by the people opposite him.

"Don't know?" Xu Shangyu glanced carefully at Ning Xiao's face and asked casually.

"Any other pictures?"

Lu Fei handed over another one.

This time, Ning Xiao recognized the person in the photo.

It was the boy who robbed him last night.

His eyes lingered on the photo for a long time, as if he had looked at every detail above.After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Xu Shangyu who was opposite him.

"You suspect that I did it?"

Xu Shangyu smiled slightly. "You are just suspected, not necessarily you."

"How many suspects have you caught so far?"

"Hehe, it's just you."

"How many suspects are there?"

"Well, one."

Ning Xiao understood, and leaned back, his face was full of understanding.

"I see, so I am the only suspect now, and the most suspected one, am I?"

No one said anything, but it was a fact of life.In the unbearable silence, Ning Xiao calmly said: "I didn't do it."

As soon as the voice fell, it was like opening a Pandora's box, and the tense atmosphere spread in the room.

The sun was still shining outside, but it was not as warm as inside.

On the table, a photo was slightly reflected by the sun.The boy's pale face appeared on it, and what was even more striking was the big bloody hole in his chest, which was pierced by a knife.

Very easily, a knife pierced through.

Ning Xiao spoke again.

"I didn't kill him."
