Yan Cun raised his eyes and glanced at him.

"What? You know he was humiliated? He told you himself?"

Tang Song stopped breathing when he heard this.

"I……"

"Huh?" Yan Cun then asked, "How do you know?"

Tang Song felt terrified, and after struggling for a few seconds, he resolutely betrayed his teammates: "Liang Zhong! It's Liang Zhong! He told me that!"

"I hear what you mean," Yan Cun thought silently for a while, and asked, "Did you two know about Su Haiyuan's little-known sexual addiction from the very beginning?"

Tang Song: "..."

"Your boss Liang Zhong picked Yu Yue back and lied to him that he was just working as a bartender." Yan Cun said with a half-smile, "You two know that he is a straight man, that he is homophobic, and that Su Haiyuan's weird behavior A hobby, but still forcibly send him to Su Haiyuan??"

Tang Song: "...?!!"

"It's kind of immoral," Yan Cun sneered, "It's just you who are enlightened in thinking and three views, and you are admitted to a shitty police academy?"

"me……"

Tang Song's lips trembled slightly, and his expression was not as calm as before. He faltered and said, "I, I, I...I am not! This...I..."

This is the first time he has experienced what it means to talk too much and make mistakes when he grows up. He really doesn't know whether to blame himself for being too chatty or Captain Yan for being too strong in divergent thinking.

"Last question," Yan Cun interrupted him coldly, "Did you go into the box that night?"

"No, no!" Tang Song hurriedly said, "I haven't been in!...Liang Zhong told me that this guest is very important, I didn't dare to disturb them, and stayed at the front desk that night..."

Yan Cun observed his facial expression and said "OK".

The four people were interrogated one by one, only to solve the first doubt that Yan Cun had just raised, and to initially figure out who had entered the box, but the second and third doubts still had no clue.

After leaving Tang Song's house, he followed Ji Liao towards the parking lot.

Shen Lin drove here by himself, and seeing that it was almost time to change shifts, Yan Cun let him off first.

He sat in the co-pilot first, raised his hand and swiped on the navigator, and said to Ji Liao: "Go here."

He keenly noticed that Zhang Jingze seemed to be a little absent-minded. After looking around for a while, he realized that the black Rolls Royce next door had gone somewhere.

Ji Liao glanced at the words 'Qinjiang People's Hospital' on the navigator, and immediately realized that he asked, "To see Lu Xiaorui?"

Yan Cun nodded.

Ji Liao nodded in response, and drove forward.

After Ji Liao parked the car in the parking lot of Qinjiang City People's Hospital, Yan Cun turned his head and said to Zhang Jingze in the back seat: "I'll go with Ji Liao, can you wait for us in the car?"

After all, Ji Liao is also half a doctor, let him do some professional work to see how Lu Xiaorui's situation is.

Zhang Jingze came back to his senses with a jolt, hesitated for a while, and said "OK".

Without wasting time, the two of them got out of the car and headed towards the emergency building of the hospital.

It wasn't until he stepped into the elevator that Yan Cun had time to ask: "What's the situation? That Xiao...how did he get away?"

Just now Zhang Jingze's words 'out of mind' were almost written on his face, and if he couldn't see the relationship between the two of them, then his life for so many years was in vain.

Ji Liao frowned and remained silent.

Just as he was about to say something, the elevator had already reached the floor where the ward was located, so they had no choice but to check on Lu Xiaorui's situation first.

It wasn't long before Lu Xiaorui regained consciousness, as if he hadn't recovered from the extreme pain, his expression was in a trance, and it took him a while to recognize Yan Cun.

He asked about Lu Xiaorui's physical condition as usual, and said a few words of concern, but he didn't know whether he should ask about the case.

However, before he could open his mouth to ask, Lu Xiaorui picked up the quilt to cover his head as if some memory was suddenly awakened, and continued to whimper and scream.

"No! Don't! I don't know anything... ah-!"

Yan Cun: "?"

With a loud voice, she directly called the doctors and nurses from the nearby wards. For a while, the door of the ward was full of people, and they all looked at them with strange eyes.

Yan Cun: "..."

Ji Liao: "..."

After confirming that Lu Xiaorui's current condition is not suitable for questioning, the two had no choice but to leave the hospital first, and walked towards the parking lot in silence.

After walking a few steps forward, Yan Cun instantly forgot the topic just now, and remembered the point where he had doubts about the interrogation just now: "That's right."

Ji Liao: "?"

"I think...that Yu Yue...well, something is a little bit wrong...but there is no substantive evidence now, and there is nothing to be tried in a hard trial."

Ji Liao was taken aback.

He seemed to think of something suddenly, thought for a while without saying a word, and asked "how".

"Hmm..." Yan Cun analyzed, "On the surface, the four of them have nothing to do with Lu Xiaorui, and they can't find a motive to harm her, so I think Lu Xiaorui must start to find new clues."

He looked up at the direction sign of the hospital, raised his hand and pointed forward, leading Ji Liao towards the parking lot.

"Actually, I just...discovered something." Ji Liao said.

Yan Cun looked at him when he heard the words.

"There seems to be a scar on Yu Yue's knee," Ji Liao said. "The wound is quite fresh, and it looks like it was scratched by a sharp object...but I'm a little short-sighted, so I'm not sure if I can see it clearly."

He hesitated and added: "It looks like it was stabbed by glass shards."

Yan Cun was stunned for a few seconds, and the clues that were tangled in his mind seemed to be unraveled. He hurriedly asked, "You...have all the glass shards brought back from the scene been inspected?"

Just now, he was so busy chewing on words and observing other people's facial expressions that he didn't have time to notice such small details as the 'knee wound'—his intuition guessed that it was closely related to the case.

"I only had time to examine the few scattered around the victim," Ji Liao said, "I'll go back later and see if I can try to extract other things."

Yan Cun nodded his head and said "OK", and stepped up to keep up with Ji Liao.

However, before he could take a few steps forward, his breathing suddenly stopped, he quickly grabbed Ji Liao's wrist, and pulled him to hide in the shadow of the grove beside the parking lot.

Ji Liao: "?"

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, Yan Cun immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth.

He motioned Ji Liao to look outside - he saw the black Rolls Royce that rubbed against the rear mirrors of their car just now was parked steadily outside, and Xiao Zhiyu who had already left earlier pushed the door and got out of the car.

Yan Cun remembered the topic that had been temporarily suspended just now, moved forward in small steps, and looked out, and found that Zhang Jingze, who was leaning against the side of the car door, slowly stepped forward, raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Zhiyu's clothes, as if talking about something.

?

etc?There seems to be something wrong! !

...What's the situation?Is this really not the other way around? ?

He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Liao, stood on tiptoe, leaned into the other's ear and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Ji Liao: "..."

The warm and moist breath rushed to his ears in an instant, and it was a little itchy. He took a breath, and it took him a long time to say: "Who shouted just now..."

"Huh?" Yan Cun quickly realized, "Homosexuality is disgusting?"

Ji Liao silently agreed.

Yan Cun let out a prolonged "Oh".

He recalled that after the interrogation of Yu Yue just now, Xiao Zhiyu deliberately avoided Zhang Jingze's sight, but Zhang Jingze stared at him steadfastly, and instantly made up a big scene in his mind - probably because Xiao Zhiyu heard Yu Yue shouting that 'Homosexuals are disgusting', for a moment I thought that Zhang Jingze actually saw him like this in his heart, and for a moment he was a little afraid to face Zhang Jingze, so he left the staff dormitory quickly.

Just at this moment, Zhang Jingze's voice could be heard vaguely from outside the grove.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you something," he struggled, and it took him a long time to say, "I'm not homophobic."

Yan Cun let out another "oh" with a long tone.

Although Zhang Jingze had always shown the appearance of being "unable to resist the other party's enthusiasm", he actually had a good impression of Xiao Zhiyu - after hearing Yu Yue yell "disgusting", he was afraid that the other party would think that he saw him the same way. Just now he was busy with interrogation again, so he didn't have time to explain.

Thinking of this, Yan Cun gave a thumbs up to his witty and clever self.

Xiao Zhiyu opened his mouth speechlessly, his breathing was a little short, before he could say anything, Zhang Jingze added in a firm tone: "It's true."

"Then...then what do you mean..." Xiao Zhiyu sniffled, "Is this a promise to me?"

"..." Zhang Jingze took a step back in embarrassment, "Change, change the day."

"No, no, no! Don't! It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day!" Xiao Zhiyu forced a step forward, "Just today! Today!"

"No, no, no!" For a moment, Zhang Jingze regretted that he had said these words impulsively, and took a few steps back again and again, avoiding his eyes, not daring to meet him, "Don't! Another day! Another day!"

And Xiao Zhiyu wanted to touch him regardless of raising his hand.

In the grove next door, Yan Cun seemed to be hiding behind a tree and listening to their conversation, but in fact he was a bit over-prepared, and after a long time, a sentence popped up suddenly.

"Well...they seem to be having a show."

However, Ji Liao didn't pay attention to those two people at all, he inadvertently lowered his eyes to look at his grasped wrist, and said "hmm" casually.

"Hmm... your friend..."

"It's gay."

"?" Yan Cun waved his hand, "No, I'm not asking you this, it's too obvious, okay! I want to ask... um... how are other people?"

Ji Liao remained silent for a while, then replied, "Although he looks foolish, he is actually a nice person."

"Hmm." Yan Cun nodded thoughtfully.

Actually, that's not what he wanted to ask.

In the past few days, the scene that he ran into in the villa area that day came to his mind from time to time, and he vaguely remembered that Ji Liao seemed to be a little impatient and shouted "How could I like men".

This sentence, this tone, seems extremely homophobic.

Therefore, when he heard Yu Yue yelling that 'gays are disgusting' during the interrogation, his mind strangely combined these two sentences.

He was a little confused for no reason, and his attention was withdrawn from the two people who were confronting each other outside. He realized that he was still holding Ji Liao's wrist, and quickly let go of it.

It was a coincidence that the brainwaves of the two matched at this time.

Ji Liao sensed that he was not in the right mood, but before he could ask anything, Yan Cun asked him first.

"how about you?"
