i must be in hell

Could a cigarette be the murder weapon?

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply unimaginable, but Xu Shangyu and Xing Feng are both old criminal police officers, and they have seen all kinds of bizarre things, so they are not surprised by this.But Xing Feng still asked Ning Xiao to give a more specific testimony.

"You say cigarettes are the murder weapon?" Xing Feng said, "What is the specific reason?"

Ning Xiao looked up at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand.

Is this for a handshake?Xing Feng froze for a moment, and then remembered that the person in front of him greeted him in the morning but was intentionally ignored by him. Could it be that he is deliberately retaliating now, trying to embarrass himself?

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Xing Feng still stretched out his hand to clear up the suspicion.Unexpectedly, Ning Xiao didn't intend to shake hands with him, but just scratched lightly, wiping all the dirt on the back of Captain Xing's hand.

"you--!"

Seeing that Xing Feng was about to get angry with a pale face, Ning Xiao replied indifferently. "The evidence has been handed over to you, and I look forward to your ability to handle the case, Captain Xing." After speaking, he walked out the door without even looking at the other two.

Xu Shangyu suppressed a smile, looked at Xing Feng who was swayed by Ning Xiao, but unexpectedly found that his face was not so ugly anymore.On the contrary, Captain Xing was looking at the back of his hand carefully, with a focused expression, as if there were flowers carved on the back of his hand.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shangyu asked.

"This..." Xing Feng stretched out his other hand, squeezed the dirt on the back of his hand that Ning Xiao rubbed, his expression became very serious.He turned to look at Xu Shangyu: "This is not a simple criminal case."

Xing Feng said: "This is a deliberate murder with a meditation plan!"

Xu Shangyu's face changed accordingly.

A few minutes later, the criminal police sealed off the restaurant, and the injured people were sent to the hospital, while the uninjured staff in the restaurant blamed the investigators for questioning one by one.Ning Xiao was sitting in the dining room, drinking a glass of water, watching Xu Shangyu running around, so busy that he didn't even have time to catch his breath.He looked at his watch and frowned slightly.

"Ning Xiao."

At this moment, someone came to find him first, it was Xing Feng.

He was carefully letting his team members collect the evidence in the house, not letting go of any evidence, including the charred powder on his hand, which was scraped off by the identification department and carefully collected together.

Xing Feng walked over while wiping his hands.Ning Xiao thought he was going to say something unpleasant again, but the captain startled him when he spoke.

"I have to apologize to you for what happened in the morning."

Ning Xiao put down the teacup and looked at Xing Feng who was speaking.

Xing Feng's expression was very serious at this time, and his tone was very serious, without any perfunctory look.

He said: "When I first met you, I had some prejudice against you because of some bad rumors. I'm sorry. I'm here to reflect on myself. I shouldn't speculate on a person based on some rumors." He looked at Ning Xiao, reach out. "This time, thank you for your help."

Ning Xiao was a little surprised that the other party was so sincere.

"It's nothing." He stretched out his hand and held it with Xing Feng. What he felt were all kinds of calluses and scars on Captain Xing's palm, which should have been caused by work.Ning Xiao thought, it seems that Captain Xing is really a person with a cold face and a warm heart, as Xu Shangyu said.At least there are not many people who dare to admit their mistakes so frankly.

"What I'm more curious about is what kind of rumors Captain Xing believed to misunderstand me."

As soon as Ning Xiao asked this question, Xing Feng felt a little embarrassed.

"It's just some rumors that you assisted the police in solving several major cases, nothing else."

Even though he said so, Ning Xiao knew it was definitely not that simple.If the media exaggerates their contribution in solving the case, it will inevitably discredit the police.Thinking about it this way, it is natural for Xing Fengfeng, who is a criminal policeman, to be unhappy.

"I just put forward some opinions." Ning Xiao said sincerely: "A lot of things, if you don't do it by the specialized personnel of your police, you can't solve the case. Captain Xing doesn't need to care too much."

Xing Feng nodded again and again, feeling much better about Ning Xiao in his heart.

"That's right." Xing Feng remembered one thing. "How did you find out that the criminal used this kind of explosive?" He pointed to the physical evidence collected by the appraiser. "Ordinary people shouldn't expect it."

"Details." Ning Xiao said: "The box is small and airtight, and there is an exhaust fan, all these together are enough to become the prerequisite for an explosion. Moreover, this restaurant is frequently visited by people, as long as criminals are willing to use it, they can sit down The hands and feet were not found. This is just some shallow experience of mine, and it’s not a big deal.”

Although it sounds simple, there are absolutely very few people who can think of it.Xing Feng glanced at Ning Xiao, did not continue to ask, but said: "It's getting late, if you want to go back, I can send someone to pick you up."

Ning Xiao put down the cup and smiled slightly.

"Can I send anyone?"

Half a minute later, Xu Shangyu, who was still busy, was pushed down in front of Ning Xiao.

"What's the matter?" He was still holding the black pen for the inquiry record in his hand, and he was called over before he could put it down.

"It's something." Xing Feng waved at him. "Don't make trouble here. There are so many of us who don't need you. Hurry up and send Consultant Ning back to the police force."

Xu Shangyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Xiao.Well, within a few minutes, you have changed from being disgusted with each other to consultant Ning, you are quite capable.

Ning Xiao smiled back.

"Don't forget that you have something to do at noon, Officer Xu."

When he said this, Xu Shangyu remembered that he was going to pick up people at noon.It's just that he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he put this matter behind him.

On the other side, Xing Feng was already chasing people away impatiently. "Hurry up and get busy if you have something to do, I'll give you half a day off, go and come back quickly!"

"Hey, hello." Xu Shangyu couldn't laugh or cry, but Ning Xiao had already taken him out of the restaurant.He didn't have time to speak until the two sat in the car.

Xu Shangyu put on his seat belt, intentionally or unconsciously said: "It seems that you care more about my own affairs than I do."

Ning Xiao replied: "I just have a good memory."

"Good memory?" Xu Shangyu laughed.

Ning Xiao was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Most of the time, it's still pretty good."

Hearing him say this so seriously, Xu Shangyu could only hold back his laughter.

The car is on the road.

"Aren't you going to ask me?"

Ning Xiao glanced at him.

"Ask you what?"

Xu Shangyu said: "Many, why did I never mention my parents, but I suddenly went to pick up my mother? Why am I deliberately avoiding these things? Detective Ning, you should have seen it all."

Ning Xiao nodded. "It's true that you're in a bad mood."

Although there was always a smile on his face, there was no smile in Xu Shangyu's eyes since he received the call in the morning.

"Am I waiting for you to ask me, or do you not want to know?"

Looking sideways at Xu Shangyu's expression at this time, Ning Xiao made a wise decision, it's better not to disobey him at this time.

"I would like to know."

Xu Shangyu smiled.

After a while, he spoke.

"Remember that thing we talked about when you first moved in? About the children of criminals and prisoners. You know why I had such a big reaction?"

Of course I know.Ning Xiao muttered in his heart, but shook his head on the surface, he knew that he needed to be a 100% listener now.

"Actually, I am myself."

Xu Shangyu drove with his eyes fixed on the front.

"When I was still in my mother's womb, I was not a clean child." He started with this sentence.

Xu Shangyu is the child of a murderer.

The murderer was referring to none other than his parents.He had been given this label when he was still a fetus obediently staying in his mother's womb.His parents killed a girl under the age of 17 and brutally dismembered her body.Just because the wife couldn't meet her husband's needs during pregnancy, the couple lured a girl back home, took advantage of the girl's sympathy for the pregnant woman, successfully abducted her and knocked her into a coma.However, an accident happened at the last moment, and people were killed.

When this case broke out that year, it shocked the whole country!While everyone hated the couple's cruelty and poor girl's life, they didn't understand their behavior.Just because of your own selfishness, you can take the lives of others?In their eyes, what is human life?And one of the murderers turned out to be a pregnant woman!She is also a mother, hasn't she thought about how the girl's parents feel after losing their child?

Anger, sadness, hate!People in the whole country are reprimanding this couple, wishing to eat their flesh alive!In the end, the husband betrayed the death penalty and was executed immediately, but the wife was spared the death penalty because of her pregnancy, but was sentenced to life.As soon as the verdict came out, many people were dissatisfied.

Why are pregnant women not sentenced to death?

That kind girl died in vain!

There are endless discussions like this, and there is even such a saying.

"Kill that baby. The murderer's child is not qualified to live in this world." Xu Shangyu said lightly: "The blood of the murderer's husband and wife is flowing on the baby, and he will definitely become another criminal in the future. He should not be born. "

"Because of the blood flowing through my body." Xu Shangyu said: "I was denied by the vast majority of people in this world before I was born, and they sentenced me to death." When he said this, there was a smile on his face meaning.

"Fortunately, I was born anyway."

And became a criminal policeman.Ning Xiao felt turmoil in his heart. He had expected Xu Shangyu's life experience, but he didn't expect it to be this kind.It sounds very twists and turns now, so how did Xu Shangyu accept his identity a few years ago, and how did he become a criminal policeman?

Thinking of Xu Shangyu's sense of justice beyond ordinary people, is it also because of the alternative effect brought about by his special background.Want to atone for your parents?

Ning Xiao shook his head, thinking that things should not be as simple as he thought.

"arrive."

Just as he was leaving his errand, the car had already stopped at the gate of the detention center.

"Wait for a while." Xu Shangyu left a word, and the person had already walked over.Ning Xiao saw him enter the detention center, and vaguely saw through the glass what the people inside him were saying.However, Ning Xiao himself was still thinking about what happened just now.

Is there any relationship between Xu Shangyu's special background and the scar on his hand?How did he become a criminal policeman after such a birth?besides……

Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw Xu Shangyu walking out of the detention center in a hurry. He was alone.

Ning Xiao immediately felt that the situation had changed.

Sure enough, when Xu Shangyu came back, his face was ugly.

"She was picked up," he said. "Someone took my mother with another set of documents."

The moment he heard these words, a flash of lightning flashed across Ning Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, faintly, it seemed that there was something connecting many things in the early morning.

Is all this a coincidence, or—premeditated?
