hands and feet. I still think it's more likely that the murderer is a man."Chen Xiaobo stood up and walked to the whiteboard, pointing at Wang Yue's photo."Wang Yue is pretty, isn't she"Xiao Xu and S..."Officer Chen is investigating me"

"No, it's just that the first time we met was also on this road."

Jiang Yúnbai was a little surprised that Chen Xiaobo actually remembered.

But that day, he wasn't wearing sportswear.

"Hehe."

Jiang Yuban heard a very faint sound coming from her arm, and it wasn't very painful.

"Okay."

Jiang Yunbai had already forgotten what she wanted to say just now.

"You just have a slight dislocation, it's not a big deal."

Chen Xiaobo saw Jiang Yunbai just staring at himself without speaking.

I thought, oh no, he must have pulled a muscle in his back.

"Anything else bothering you"

Jiang Yùn returned to her senses and saw the anxiety and concern in Chen Xiaobo's eyes. She suddenly felt like teasing him.

"Mr. Chen, could you please give me your contact information"

Chen Xiaobo sees this and knows that Jiang Yunbai is fine.

Smiling, she got up and crossed her arms.

"Wow, you wouldn't complain about me, would you"

Jiang Yunbai also stood up, spreading his hands in front of Chen Xiaobo and smiling playfully.

Then it depends on you, Mr. Chen.

---

When Chen Xiaobo rushed back to the police station, Wu Dajiang had already been interrogated.

A stern-faced middle-aged man sat in front of the monitor.

His temples and the corners of his eyes were deeply wrinkled.

"Chief, what brings you here"

Chen Yu Fan saw Chen Xiao Bo and just smiled and waved.

"There's nothing important, they said you were out on a job and hadn't come back yet so they just stopped by."

Chen Xiaobo pulled up a chair and sat down beside her.

How did it go

Chen Yufan raised his eyes to glance at Chen Xiaobo beside him and opened his mouth.

“This Wu Da Jiang only admitted that he did go to the victim's apartment on the night of the 21st at 12 o’clock for theft, but he went to the house next door to the victim.”

He said that there was no one in the house at the time, and there was no cash or other valuables in the room, so he left empty-handed.

......

Chief of Police's Office.

It’s perfectly normal for a case to reach an impasse.

Chen Yu Fan comforted.

Chen Xiaobo let out a long sigh and rubbed his eyes.

"This case has very few clues left behind by the perpetrator, making it difficult for our police force to even identify potential suspects."

The murderer felt like someone close to the victim, both familiar and strange.

Chen Yufan raised his hand to interrupt Chen Xiaobo's account of the case.

"Hold on, hold on. I called you over here not to hear your work report."

Chen Xiaobo stopped and listened attentively.

"Xiao Bo, I heard you had dinner at home last night and didn't have a very pleasant chat"

Chen Xiaobo raised an eyebrow and generously admitted it.

Uncle, you know that my dad always wants me to go back and study business administration, but I think I'm doing pretty well now.

“Actually, I understand my brother’s… that is, your father's feelings. After all, you are the only child of our Chen family. You are indeed in danger working at the Criminal Investigation Division. You know that your aunt and I don't have children, and you grew up with us. We truly treat you as our own son. If something were to happen to you...”

Chen Xiaobo got up and walked behind Chen Yufan to give him a shoulder massage.

"Uncle, you were a patrol officer back in the day. You've done well all these years, haven't you Don't worry about it."

Chen Yufan patted Chen Xiaobo's hand and sighed.

……

After leaving Chen Yufan, Chen Xiaobo took people to the theft site mentioned by Wu Da Jiang.

"Have the tech investigation team go to Yintan Huayuan and wait for Gu Yan first. I'll contact Gu Yan."

"Yes."

Chen Xiaobo took Gu Yan's personal information from a pile of data.

After a period of busy tone, the phone was answered.

"Hello, who's this"

"Hello, I am Chen Xiaobo from the Jingjiang City Criminal Police Brigade. We have arrested a suspect who told us he had been to Yin Tan Huayuan and burglarized your house. We now need to inspect your house. Please cooperate."

Gu Yan took a while to agree.

Thirty minutes later—

Qin Yuezhen raised her hand to glance at her watch.

"Is Team Chen coming to the banquet or not"

"Here I am."

Only a man in a suit and tie could be seen walking towards them.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting due to some company matters."

Saying that, Gu Yan opened the door.

Chen Xiaobo and the people from the technical department all put on shoe covers and prepared themselves before going in.

Gu Yan just stood at the door watching.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Yan seemed to have something else to do.

"Captain Chen, is there anything else you need me to cooperate with"

Chen Xiaobo walked out and came to Gu Yan's face.

"Gu Yan, this house seems to have no trace of life. How did you buy a house here"

Gu Yan answered frankly.

"I bought this house in full, intending to give it to Jiang Yunbai. The environment here is good and it's close to her work. I bought it because I saw how hard she worked commuting every day. Is there a problem with that"

Chen Xiaobo shook his head.

"But I see dust everywhere, have you and she ever lived here"

"No, I had drafted the deed of gift and given it to her at the time, but she didn't sign it or even come to live there. I have other houses myself, so naturally I wouldn't move here."

Chen Xiaobo suddenly seemed to have remembered something and asked.

"Do you have a spare key from next door"

Gu Yan turned his head to look at the person next door.

It is Wang Yuejia's home.

Gu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Xiaobo's probing gaze.

"No."

Chen Xiaobo stood with his arms crossed, a rare look of gossip on his face.

"Hey, Gu Shao, do you think your 'girlfriend' Wang Yue knew about your house being here back then Did she purposely buy this place next to yours just so she could be your neighbor You know, that's pretty romantic."

Gu Yanmian remained impassive.

"This is her freedom and I have no right to interfere."

"And what exactly are you trying to ask, Captain Chen"

Chen Xiaobo leaned against the door frame.

"We have contacted the manufacturer, and Wang Yue's smart lock will be equipped with two spare keys. One of them was found in her own room at the villa, and the other is still missing."

Chen Xiaobo saw Gu Yan was still listening attentively as always.

I was just thinking, if one key is at my parents' place, then the other one is probably with her boyfriend.

"Captain Chen, Wang Yue and I have broken up."

But people around Wang Yue say that you are still in a relationship.

"A relationship"

Gu Yan seemed to have heard a joke.

"A breakup only needs one person to initiate it, Captain Chen wouldn't be unaware of that, would he"

Chen Xiaobo couldn't see a trace of panic on Gu Yan's face.

Of course.

Gu Yan raised his head and looked around, then said with a smile.

"Besides, Captain Chen, you know that if every woman I've been with gave me a spare key to their place, my house would need a whole room just for keys!"ue's doorstep.It's a mold in the shape of a fruit knife."Captain Chen, this is a model of the weapon based on the wound mold. It should be an ordinary fruit knife."After Chen Xiaobo replied to Directo...
