"Brother, why did you change the password again? I can't open the door."

Xia Hang asked on the other end of the phone.

Xia Bingyang held the phone between his shoulders, held a cigarette in his mouth, and fumbled for a lighter in his pockets with both hands, slurring his words: "Little brat, why are you always thinking about my door password!"

Xia Hang said: "I'm going to take the egg yolk to the pet hospital to get rid of the insects."

Xia Bingyang took out a lighter from the depths of his trouser pocket, lit a cigarette and reluctantly said: "The password from a week ago."

Xia Hang tried it, and the door opened, and said again: "Brother, I took the egg yolk away this time."

Xia Bingyang stood smoking next to the trash can next to the entrance of the restaurant, and gave a absent-minded 'hmm', and it took a while to realize that Xia Hang said that he would take the egg yolk away.

"What did you say?"

He squeezed the cigarette down and asked with a straight face, frowning.

Xia Hang said happily: "I convinced our mother, and she agreed to let me keep a cat."

Xia Bingyang disagreed with his use of the word 'our mother' very much, and did not correct him, but said in a blunt tone: "No, you can't take it away."

Xia Hang was surprised: "Ah? Why?"

Xia Bingyang said: "I want to raise it."

Xia Hang couldn't help shivering slightly when he heard this, because his brother's tone of saying 'I want to raise it' was as creepy as saying 'I'm going to kill it'.

"Aren't you afraid of cats?"

Xia Bingyang was very impatient: "You don't care if I'm afraid of cats, can I leave it to catch mice? Stop talking nonsense, take it back to me immediately after killing the insects."

Although Egg Yolk is just a worthless yellow civet cat, and it is not as good-looking as a famous cat, Xia Hang has cultivated a relationship with it after taking care of it for a long time.The little pet he had already raised was amputated halfway by Xia Bingyang, which made him very sad, and he knelt on the ground and began to cry: "Brother, can you return the egg yolk to me, can I buy you a British noble cat?" ?”

Xia Bingyang was ruthless and cold, looked at his watch, and refused straight away: "No, I want that little bastard."

Xia Hang wailed: "Why, don't you hate egg yolks very much!"

Xia Bingyang pinched the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then turned and walked towards the restaurant: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now, anyway, you can't take it away, or you won't even think about entering my house again."

Xia Hang once again succumbed to his brother's despotic power, so he had no choice but to part with the love, saying: "Okay, but the egg yolk must be considered as being raised by the two of us."

Xia Bingyang didn't really want to keep a cat, but he just didn't want Xia Hang to take the cat away, so he replied, "Okay, okay, hang up."

After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone vigorously, but Xia Hang hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait, brother, I want to change the name of the egg yolk."

Xia Bingyang sat impatiently on the sofa in the booth, and slammed his index finger on the table twice: "Change it to what? Change your name to it?"

Ren Erdong, who was sitting opposite him, pointed to his watch, signaling him to hurry up.

Xia Hang said: "No, I think the name egg yolk is a bit earthy."

"I can't lift the soil, so I can't change it."

"Brother, you can't be so domineering, I promise to raise with you—"

Xia Bingyang cut it off before he finished speaking: "Either give it your name, or call it egg yolk, I have the final say on this matter. Hang up."

Xia Bingyang hung up the phone and threw the phone on the table: "This kid doesn't do business all day long."

Ren Erdong asked: "Why does Xiaohang want you?"

Xia Bingyang waved his hand, glanced in the direction of the restaurant cashier, and said to Ren Erdong, "Call someone."

Ren Erdong stopped a waiter who just finished serving, and said with a smile, "Beauty, settle the score."

The waiter was about to flip through their order list, Ren Erdong said again: "Let your boss figure it out himself."

The waiter was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Ren Erdong took out his police officer's card and held it in front of her: "Police, please come here, your boss."

The waiter took the starter menu and left, ran to the cashier and said a few words to the boss who was doing the accounting, and finally pointed to the No. [-] table where the two policemen were.

Soon, the female boss straightened her hair and walked towards table seven.

The owner of this Korean restaurant is a light and slender woman of unknown age, with a gentle beauty that should be expected at her age.

She walked to table No. [-], picked up the dishes on the table before the waiter had time to remove them, and asked with a smile, "Which police officer is looking for me?"

Xia Bingyang sized her up and judged in his heart that this was a woman who was easy to talk to. He looked at her and asked, "Ms. Xue Zhihua?"

"it's me."

Xia Bingyang raised his hand towards the other side: "Please sit down, let's have a chat."

Xue Zhihua called the waiter who reported the letter just now to clear the table, and then asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea before sitting down beside Ren Erdong. He poured the tea gracefully and asked with a smile, "Mr. Police, why are you looking for me?"

Xia Bingyang took the cup of tea she handed over and said, "My surname is Xia."

"Officer Xia."

Xia Bingyang put the teacup aside, looked at Xue Zhihua and said straight to the point: "For your daughter, Wang Yao."

Xue Zhihua's expression changed, he raised his head and stared blankly at Xia Bingyang, the tea flowed down the spout of the teapot in her hand and overflowed the cup.

Xia Bingyang silently took the teapot from her hand and put it on the table, "We are looking for you because of the case where your daughter was killed six years ago."

This kind of case that has not been solved for a long time is suddenly uncovered and placed in front of the family members of the victims many years later, and they are asked to assist the police in solving the case. It is a torture for the family members of the victims.

Xia Bingyang has had this experience many times. Every time he just expressed his intention, he was kicked out by the family members of the victim, or he was treated with a cold face that dared not speak out.In short, every investigation and visit has not been carried out smoothly.

But Wang Yao's mother did not immediately show her boredom and anger towards the police, even though she had dealt with them many times.She just didn't expect that after six years, the case had 'sinked', and the police would come to her to ask her about the situation.

The scar that had been intentionally hidden for many years was suddenly uncovered, and she couldn't rub her hands.

Xia Bingyang waited patiently for a while, and when her face gradually calmed down, she said, "Ms. Xue, can we start?"

Xue Zhihua did not answer, but instead asked: "Why did you suddenly find me?"

Ren Erdong briefly recounted the murder case at Bellagio Palace and Liu Changran's death. After hearing this, Xue Zhihua's already well-maintained white and delicate face became even whiter than snow. He folded his arms unconsciously, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "It's still him."

Xia Bingyang looked at her and asked, "Who?"

Suddenly, this gentle and strong woman in front of her eyes shed tears. She first said 'sorry' embarrassingly, then picked up a tissue to wipe her tears, turned her head away from Xia Bingyang's direct gaze, and said with a bleak expression: " Qin Ping, that security guard."

"You mean Qin Lisi's father?"

Xue Zhihua turned his head to look at Xia Bingyang: "Who else could it be?"

Xia Bingyang covered it up with a faint smile, but did not answer directly, and said, "Let's not talk about Qin Ping first, let's talk about your daughter Wang Yao."

She said in a slow and stern tone: "What should be said, I have told you many times."

Xia Bingyang said: "This case was transferred to me yesterday. You are the family member of the No. 1 victim I questioned. I have read all the records you made at the police station before, but I want to chat with you in person. "

"...well, where to start?"

"It started on April 2012, 16, the day Wang Yao was killed."

On April No. 16 six years ago, Wang Yao was punished by the physical education teacher to stay in the school to clean the equipment room because she was lazy in physical education class and did not run the 800-meter task assigned by the physical education teacher.

At six o'clock in the evening, the teachers and students had already dispersed, and the entire teaching building seemed to be empty.The equipment room is on the fourth floor, and Wang Yao cleans the equipment room alone.In addition to Wang Yao, Xi Xue, a Chinese teacher in Class 5, Grade [-], stayed at the school that day.

In a week's time, the call for papers for the National Composition Contest for Middle School Students will end.And several students from Bailu Town were shortlisted for the first selection, and had the opportunity to participate in the last proposition essay call.The Chinese teacher will leave one student for individual tutoring every day.On the same day, Xi Xue was in the office tutoring a student who was about to participate in the composition competition.

Coincidentally, the student who was left to tutor that day was Ai Lu.After Wang Yao learned that Ai Lu was going to be tutored by the teacher, she made an appointment with Ai Lu to go home together after completing the tasks.

Before Xia Bingyang came here, he carefully studied all the files left over from that year, and found the transcript of the female teacher Xi Xue.

'It was about 6:6, and I was in the office helping my students with composition.That's when I heard a strange sound, like...something fell from downstairs.The sound came from the front of the teaching building, and my office window faced the back door of the school, so I don't know what it was coming from.The sound only rang once and then disappeared quickly, so I didn't care.About [-] minutes later?Or in less than [-] minutes, there was a sound of "hutong" closing the door in the corridor outside.I was very surprised, it was very late at that time, there should be no one in the teaching building except us.I went out with the students to watch, and we saw... Qin Lisi's father standing at the door of the textbook room, just coming out of it.When he saw us, he wanted to run away. I thought his expression was not right at the time, so I stopped him, then pushed open the door of the teaching room, and saw Wang Yao lying on the balcony of the teaching room with her head covered in blood... .Gosh, I almost passed out, or my students called the police in time.You all know what happened afterwards. '

The police officer who was in charge of recording asked, 'Did you see Qin Ping come out of the building material room with your own eyes? '

'Yes, my students and I have seen it firsthand. '

'Does Qin Ping have a weapon in his hand? '

"I don't think so. I'm sorry. I was really scared at the time, so I don't remember very clearly."

'It doesn't matter, you just said that you heard the sound of heavy objects falling in front of the teaching building at around [-]:[-], right? '

'Yes, I remember that well?what is that? '

'We found a broken flower pot on the ground in front of the teaching building. After verification, the flower pot was originally placed on the window sill of the building materials room on the fourth floor. '

"Ah? Did Wang Yao knock down the flowerpot when she resisted?"

The police officer did not answer her question, ended the interview, and the transcript ended here.

At the time of the incident, there were only Chinese teacher Xi Xue, Ai Lu who was left by Xi Xue to help with composition, and Wang Yao who stayed in the textbook room to clean in the entire teaching building.If it is said that after the teachers and students have dispersed, who still has the opportunity to enter and exit the teaching building, only Qin Ping, the school security guard, remains.Qin Ping checks every corner of the school to see if there are any stranded people, and checks whether each classroom is locked.

When Wang Yao died, the only person present at the scene was Qin Ping.

And before the police arrived, Qin Ping had already fled the scene of the crime.At that time, the police regarded him as a key investigation target and searched for him throughout the city.But Qin Ping disappeared in Bailu Town as if he had evaporated from the world.The police closely monitored his family. A week later, his wife who suffered from a heart attack suddenly went into shock and was sent to the hospital by the police. However, his wife took the opportunity to escape from the hospital and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Just when the victim's family and the police thought the case would be over, Qin Ping, who had disappeared for six years, made a comeback, suddenly appeared in Weining City, and raised his butcher's knife at several other innocent children.

"Before Yaoyao's accident, he followed Yaoyao, and we reported it to the school after we found out. The school leaders interceded for him, and because he had just lost his daughter and was an old employee, he gave him a chance. But who would have thought that he Use this opportunity to kill my child..."

Xue Zhihua is very strong, or the pain of losing her daughter has made her numb.A bewildered and desolate look appeared on her pale face, silently smoking a lady's cigarette.

From her mouth, Xia Bingyang learned that Wang Yao's interpersonal relationship and social circle were no different from what she told the police six years ago.In short, Wang Yao is a very introverted child. Because she is relatively short among her peers, she has always had low self-esteem, and her friends are limited to Liu Changran, Yu Bingjie and Ai Lu.When the criminal police inspected the scene of the crime, they found Wang Yao's hair and skin tissue and a large amount of blood on the corner of the balcony.Wang Yao's parietal bone at the back of her head was cracked, her scalp was ruptured, and she died of hemorrhagic shock.And a large area of ​​subcutaneous soft tissue contusion was found on Wang Yao's wrist and front of the neck.

After investigation, the police believed that the soft tissue contusion on Wang Yao's body was left when she resisted the murderer, and left a guess about the incident in the case file - the murderer pinned Wang Yao to the edge of the balcony, and when Wang Yao resisted, she held Wang Yao on the balcony. The flower pot was accidentally pushed down.In the end, the murderer knocked Wang Yao's head hard on the edge of the balcony, causing Wang Yao to go into shock on the spot, and later died of excessive blood loss.

Wang Yao does not have complicated interpersonal relationships, and it is even less likely that a 12-year-old girl will attract any enemies.Therefore, Qin Ping, who appeared at the scene of the crime, was suspected of committing the crime.

Xue Zhihua exhaled a puff of white smoke gracefully, and said: "I still can't figure out why he refuses to let these children go."

Xia Bingyang said: "This is why I came to find you."

Xue Zhihua asked suspiciously: "What?"

Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong looked at each other, and the latter continued on his behalf: "Ms. Xue, did Wang Yao mention Qin Ping's daughter Qin Lisi to you before Wang Yao's accident?"

Xue Zhihua's two slender eyebrows were like two folds on the lake surface blown by the wind, and an indifferent look gradually appeared on his slender cheeks.Her slender shoulders slowly collapsed, and she put out half of a lady's cigarette in the ashtray, stroked her arms with both hands and paused for a while before saying: "You think Qin Lisi's disappearance has something to do with my daughter , Qin Ping killed my daughter in revenge?"

Xia Bingyang has been avoiding the word 'revenge' all the time, but at this time, Xue Zhihua cleverly picked out this key word from between the lines, which is what he expected.

Ren Erdong went to look at Xia Bingyang, but Xia Bingyang just drank tea and ignored him, so he forced himself to smile and said, "No, we are looking for Qin Ping's motive for committing the crime."

Xue Zhihua showed a sneer on his always gentle and gentle face: "So you are looking for motives from my daughter?"

Ren Erdong hung his head while clutching the back of his head in embarrassment, not answering.

Xue Zhihua glanced at Xia Bingyang again, and said: "You want to find out Qin Ping's motive for committing the crime, why don't you find it directly from Qin Ping, instead find the reason from the victim?"

She was calm at first, but later, her voice suddenly became choked up.

Realizing her gaffe, she raised her face, and the sad look disappeared again, and said: "The two police officers have worked hard, and I invite you for today's meal. I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible."

After speaking, she stood up and went to the back kitchen.

Ren Erdong stared blankly at the direction she was leaving for a moment, then slowly clapped his hands twice, looked at Xia Bingyang and said, "Honey, I finally met someone cooler than you. And it's a woman."

There was still half a cup of tea left by Xue Zhihua, Xia Bingyang drank it all in one gulp, counted out the meal money from his wallet and put it on the table, got up and walked towards the door.

Ren Erdong called the waiter over to check out, and when he walked out of the restaurant, he saw Xia Bingyang standing in the trash can by the roadside and making a phone call.

"The Jinyuan bathing center at the south intersection of Century Avenue? Okay, I'll go there now."

Just as Ren Erdong walked up to him, and was about to listen to a few words, Xia Bingyang hung up the phone, then strode vigorously towards the off-road vehicle parked by the side of the road, and said, "Lang Xixi found Qin Ping on July 7. number's movement."

Ren Erdong quickly followed him: "Where did he go?"

"Golden Garden Bathing Center."
