[I hear your voice] The gift of time

Comet spends a whole day at the crime scene without finding anything, not even a hair from the stranger.But she got a piece of news from her neighbors—the suspect is gay.She thought that the man who fell in love with Han Youchang might be the breakthrough point of the case, at least he had the motive to kill Han Youchang's wife out of jealousy.

Han Youchang was still very emotional after seeing the comet, and kept talking nervously: "I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people..."

Comet took a long time to calm his emotions before he was able to start an inquiry dialogue with him.

"Han Youchang, who do you think has the most motive and possibility to kill in this case?"

"I do not know."

"Does your wife have any grudges with anyone?"

"I do not know."

"Then who is your wife usually close to?"

"I do not know."

Comet put down the pen in his hand and crossed his hands in front of his chest: "If you ask such a question and don't know anything, then I suggest you choose to turn yourself in and get leniency."

Han Youchang held Comet's hand emotionally: "Please believe me, I really didn't kill anyone, save me, save me!"

Comet looked at him indifferently, tremblingly, he let go of his hands, hugged his head, and sobbed: "Xu Minzhu and I have always lived in our own way, without interfering with each other. I really don't know about her affairs."

Comet said seriously, "The two of you have been married for ten years without children, and you have been sleeping in separate rooms. The neighbors think that you and your husband are in name only. The diary of the deceased recorded her various dissatisfaction with you. All these show the relationship between you and your wife. Emotional discord, which can turn into evidence in court that makes you a murderer."

"It's not that the relationship is bad, it's that there is no relationship at all. There is no love or hatred, just two people living separately. Lawyer Zhang, you must believe me, I have no reason to kill someone who has nothing to do with me."

"No matter what, you are legally husband and wife." Comet continued to ask, "The person between you and your husband is Jin Haoyu?"

Comet mentioned the man with whom he had a broken relationship, and as expected, Han Changyou was surprised and fell into deep grief.

"Does the deceased know Jin Haoyu?"

Han Youchang shook his head mechanically.

"Has Jin Haoyu conveyed to you the emotions of jealousy or resentment for the dead?"

"Whether there is or not, it is already a thing of the past." Han Youchang was extremely sad.

"What do you mean?"

"The accident three months ago made it impossible for him to wake up in his life."

"what!"

"He's in a vegetable state now."

Comet thought this was an important breakthrough in the case, at least allowing the judges to realize that there might be other suspects, but now this clue is broken.She sighed, was silent for a moment, and asked helplessly: "Then does anyone else have the key to your house or can enter your house freely?"

Han Youchang thought for a while and said, "Only Xu Minzhu's mother has the key."

However, this last straw was finally denied.After Cui Yuchang's investigation, Xu Minzhu's mother and Xu Minzhu have no estrangement, the two mothers and daughters are deeply in love, and her mother has a heart attack because of her daughter and was sent to the hospital.

"Did you eat dinner obediently?" Xiu Xia called.

"Hmm..." Comet replied in a long voice, holding a bowl of 'dog food' in his hands without any appetite.

"What's the matter? The case is not going well?" Xiu Xia clearly felt Comet's negative emotions.

"It's not going well, especially not going well!" Comet said dejectedly, "All possible suspects have been ruled out, and all evidence points to Han Youchang alone."

"Is there no possibility of suicide at all?"

"This argument was ruled out the first time." Comet sighed, "Xiu Xia..."

"Ok?"

"miss you."

"I'll be back now!" These three words put Xiuxia in a good mood, and the urge to go back to see Comet couldn't be stopped.

"Don't! If you don't want to be expelled, just stay in school obediently."

The police academy has strict discipline, so Xiuxia naturally knows that there are still two days before school ends on Friday, and he finally has a deep understanding of what it means to "turn one's heart like an arrow" and "live one's life like a year".

As all possible suspects were excluded, the case also reached a stalemate. Comet sat opposite Han Youchang and said nothing.

Han Youchang became anxious and kept asking if he could be saved.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to you. If I plead not guilty for you, I may lose the case. If you plead guilty voluntarily, you can be given a lighter punishment."

"But I didn't kill anyone, why do I have to plead guilty!" Han Youchang slammed his fist on the table, making a bang.

If Xiu Xia was here, he could tell her whether she should trust the man in front of her who said he was innocent.

Xiu Xia, what should I do?she asked in her heart.

"I admit that I am timid, I am cowardly, and I am not a good husband," Han Youchang said as if talking to himself, "I have hurt many people, and they have all become unhappy because of me. I can't let go of the person in my heart, I love him, but I am also afraid of the eyes of the world. Their cold eyes and ridicule are like mountains pressing down on my heart, tormenting me every day. I try very hard to pretend to be a completely normal man, But I can't do it, I'm just a joke in other people's eyes, and in his eyes, I'm also a betrayer."

"Everyone has worldly pressure." Comet said in a slightly comforting tone.

"I've thought a lot these days, and regretting these four words is a reflection of my mood at the moment. If I could do it all over again, I would choose to disclose my homosexuality, not use innocent women to escape criticism, and work hard to win the approval of my parents. Admittedly, no matter how hard it is, I don’t have to bear the shackles of conscience. In the ten years since I got married, I have used sleeping pills to make myself fall asleep every day. live in general."

"You can put these words in court and say that voluntarily acknowledging your own shortcomings is better than hiding them. Maybe you can win sympathy votes from jurors."

When Comet came home, the hot meals were already on the table, Xiu Xia was busy tidying up in the kitchen, her slender figure reflected a beautiful outline under the warm light.

"Xiu Xia."

"It's back!" Xiu Xia stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms.

"Xiu Xia." These two words are more beautiful than the melody of any song in the world.

"Let's eat, come!" Xiu Xia took her bag and pushed her towards the dining table.

A table of side dishes, two people, a lamp, happiness is so simple.

"It's time for the baseball game!" Comet pushed the side of the dinner plate net table.

"I'll do the dishes first." Xiu Xia stood up, and was about to clean up, when Comet hugged him like a koala.

"I wash the dishes, you watch TV, be good."

"No, I want to watch it with you!" Comet tightly circled him from behind.

Xiu Xia surrendered.

Comet happily ran all the way to the refrigerator to get her homemade creative drink cap.

"Don't!" Xiu Xia stretched out his hand to catch her, but it was a step too late, as Comet had discovered the various ice creams he had hidden in the refrigerator.

"So much ice cream! Xiu Xia, did you buy it?" Comet looked at him.

Xiu Xia nodded silently, showing a small grievance that he was surprised and found out just like this.

"Great! Eat this today!" Comet immediately changed his mind, abandoning the drink cap and going to ice cream.

"Don't eat at night, it's bad for your health!"

"Yeah! Don't fight me! It's all melted!"

"Be obedient, can we eat tomorrow?"

"Wait!" Comet suddenly stopped in place.

"what happened?"

"What did I just say?"

"What and what?" Xiu Xia was full of doubts.

"What did I just say!"

"You said you wanted me not to rob you." Xiu Xia answered obediently.

"Next sentence."

"You said the ice cream was going to melt."

"Melting..." Comet fell into thought.

"what happened?"

"I know!" Comet slapped his head, "Han Changyou didn't kill anyone, Xu Minzhu committed suicide, that's right, that's it!"

Comet stuffed the ice cream into Xiuxia's hand, said something to go to the crime scene, picked up the bag and hurried out of the house.Naturally, Xiu Xia was worried about her going to the crime scene alone, and followed closely to protect her.
