Chapter 66 The Last Case (4)

  Xia Zhu actually thought of too many possibilities. She thought that Yuan Qi might be waiting for her at the top of the tower, or perhaps she would wait for Xi Bie.

  However, no one expected that at the moment she rushed to the top of the tower, Sheng Yuan opened his mouth and shouted far away: "Get down!"

  Xia Zhuo reacted extremely quickly and rolled with the momentum. In the next second, she saw the special task force commander who was hiding not far away being shot instantly. He was protecting a team member who had not hidden well.

  Smoke bomb went off, and the view wasn't very clear. The special forces team split into two groups, one group rushed to the opposite side's sniper vantage point trying to capture the killer, while the other part stayed put to avoid any unexpected accidents. However, everyone understood that a sniper wouldn't commit consecutive crimes, that would lose their advantage, and spraying bullets was also unprofessional, so now they were actually safe. Xia Zhu almost crawled over, only then did she see that under the special forces captain's feet was actually a card, an ace. And a small piece of paper, on which was written -

  "There is another one."

  It was Lin Yuan's handwriting again, Xia Zhu closed his eyes and looked at the special agents with different expressions.

  They were suspicious, but Xia Zhu understood more than anyone else. However, she opened her mouth and couldn't refute it. It was her fault for being too rash and reckless after receiving the news, which gave Xi Bao an opportunity to take advantage of. It was also because she firmly believed that Lin Yuan would not be the one behind everything, which allowed all this to happen.

  It's all her fault.

  However, Zou Mu Yuan calmed down and pushed aside Xia Zhu who was blocking his way: "I'm very sorry."

  He bowed deeply, his expression was absolutely sorrowful, yet he had not lost any reason, Zou Mianyuan's tone made it impossible for people to blame him, but life and death could not be summed up with just an apology.

  "It's all my fault..." After a long time, the rescued special forces member finally spoke up. The young man's expression showed obvious regret and astonishment. He shook his head: "I was too stupid and got our captain killed."

  The deputy captain of the special task force finally spoke up after a long time: "I just want to ask you, when will this case be transferred?"

  Zou Mianyuan suddenly lifted his head.

  No one would speak like this unless they were out of their mind.

  But at this moment, Zou Mianyuan knew that their anger had almost reached the tip of their hearts. So Zou Mianyuan didn't blame them, he just quietly opened his mouth: "It's tomorrow."

  "Alright," the deputy captain's tone sounded like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, he bowed: "Although I don't want to say this but...I think you two may have been emotionally manipulated."

  Although she was talking to Zou Mu Yuan, Xia Zhu quietly bit her lower lip.

  She thought, perhaps this was referring to her.

  Because Lin Yuanxi is her boyfriend and also the person she cares about most at present.

  Before leaving, the deputy captain said to Zou Mu Yuan: "I hope you can let it go."

  Even if the final result may not be as expected, although what you most want to avoid may be the truth of everything, however ——

  I hope you can let it go.

  It wasn't that she didn't understand the underlying tone, but Xia Zhu still felt a faint pain, and closed her eyes, furrowing her brow.

  "Don't think too much." Sheng Yuan gently patted Xia Zhu's shoulder, trying to comfort her: "In any case, you have to believe that there is more to this matter than meets the eye."

  "Shengyuan senior," Xiaozhu's voice was a bit ethereal: "Sorry."

  The last three words fell thoroughly.

  Sheng Yuan was taken aback: "If I received the information, I would also let Mu Yuan lead the team to investigate."

  "So now the question is......" Zou Mu Yuan furrowed his brow: "How did Xi Bie know about your secret signal with Lin Yuan Ke?"

  It's actually unnecessary to ask anymore.

  It's already crystal clear.

  Xia Zhu shook her head and held back the pain in her eyes: "I don't think it was Lin Yuanbei who betrayed us, his character wouldn't do such a thing."

  She tried to analyze, only to realize that she herself, who studied criminal psychology, would only use the way of analyzing criminals to analyze people's minds, and for so long, she never thought of using such a ruthless method to analyze even a little message from Lin Yuan.

  Zou Mingyuan understood this feeling, but at this moment all words seemed pale in comparison.

  After a long while, he looked at Xia Zhu and said, "I suggest you go back and rest for a bit."

  Xia Zhu was stunned.

  Sheng Yuan looked at Zou Muyuan with a somewhat disapproving gaze: "Captain, you mean..."

  "I think Xia Zhu is quite suitable for a few days of rest now, don't overexert yourself." Zou Mingyuan looked at Xia Zhu: "Of course, I respect your opinion."

  Xia Zhu's gaze slowly fell, and when she was quiet, her whole body shrunk into a small ball, looking a bit pitiful.

  However, she still nodded: "I understand, sorry captain."

  She didn't symbolically hand over her badge, they were too familiar with each other and didn't need such hypocritical expressions. However, Xia Zhu knew that she was heartbroken, the kind of heart-wrenching sorrow that almost overwhelmed her entire being, making it hard for her to control herself.

  On the way back, Shengyuan sent her a message: "The captain is just pretending, your current situation is very dangerous."

  This time it's almost all aimed at Xia Zhu, and all the rumors will point to her.

  Xia Zhu nodded slightly: "I understand," her voice sounded a bit low, yet with an irrepressible sadness: "I thought I could hold on."

  "That's not called withstanding, we have a responsibility to protect you," Sheng Yuan gently patted her shoulder, he had been fond of this gesture lately: "We are a family."

  Not just teammates, but a complete family.

  Xia Zhu smiled: "I know."

  "By the way, Captain will send people to your home for protection recently. They are all very safe people and you can trust them completely." Sheng Yuan said.

  This sentence made Xia Zhu stunned for a moment, she thought of good words on her lips and finally took them back.

  Even if... they are trustworthy, but do they trust themselves?

  Is it protection or their secret surveillance?

  Xia Zhu understood that at this moment, she could only rely on Sheng Yuan and Zou Mu Yuan. She was not used to relying on others, but it couldn't be denied that Lin Yuan's choice had made her the target of public criticism.

  Even so, she never resented Lin Yuan's choice.

  There has never been half a point of distrust.

  "Have you ever thought of a possibility, just a small one..." Sheng Yuan suddenly asked.

  Xia Zhu's footsteps suddenly stopped, her expression calm and composed, almost as if she was not the Xia Zhu of before. Her black and white eyes quietly looked at Sheng Yuan: "Senior is saying that Lin Yuanke is really being controlled."

  Was controlled and became Xi Shi's puppet.

  Or was brainwashed by Xi, gradually revealing his darkest nature.

  Everyone has a dark nature. If Lin Yuan reveals his dark side, he might be more terrifying than many people.

  Shengyuan was waiting for Xiaozhu's answer, but Xiaozhu just smiled and shook her head. Her tone became very firm this time: "He won't," she said after a slight pause. "If that day really comes, I'll personally arrest him."

  Her tone was so firm and serious.

  Shengyuan heard it by his ear, and couldn't help but feel a slight tremble in his heart.

  However, Xia Zhu's expression had already returned to calm: "Sorry senior, I shouldn't have discussed these things with you."

  She smiled warmly and said, "Since I've been relieved of my duties, I won't use my official position to investigate the case anymore, please don't worry, Captain."

  "No, Xia Zhu," Sheng Yuan's face was heavy: "You didn't understand Meng Yuan's meaning, he wasn't worried that you would use your official position to investigate the case, but rather that you would attract Xi Biao's attention, Xi Biao is trying to take you down."

  "I know..." Xia Zhu nodded: "But now, the only person who can work with Lin Yuan inside and out is me."

  To be honest, Shengyuan has doubts about this sentence.

  After all, Xia Zhu had already failed once, and this failure made the card face become A.

  "Next should be the small king according to the card face, and finally the king?" Sheng Yuan had no choice but to continue with the case, he watched as Xia Zhu opened the door and followed her in.

  He thought it was irresponsible for Xiaozhu to stay by herself at this time.

  For such behavior, Xia Zhu was slightly stunned and still made way for him.

  "If it were Xiao Wang and Wang, I think we could have started from the police station." Xia Zhu's expression was calm.

  Sheng Yuan was taken aback: "Do you think it's still a case of police officers being harmed?"

  "From today's incident, Xi Bao has entered a crazy mode, and today's events have made him very satisfied," Xia Zhu asked with a frown: "Did the special forces catch the murderer later?"

  "No," Shengyuan replied quickly, pausing for a moment before adding with a slightly unusual expression: "But we did get the shell casing, it's from a handgun that Yuan very much liked."

  "Pistol, at such a distance......" Xia Zhu's face overflowed with a cold smile: "Confirmed to have used this bullet before?"

  "Yes." Shengyuan looked at Xiaozhu and sighed inwardly: "Xiaozhu, you're not in a good mood."

  Xia Zhu was taken aback, recalling the expression in her eyes, and regained her calm demeanor: "I'm very sorry."

  She has turned back into the original Xia Zhu, with a gentle and courteous demeanor towards everyone.

  "If nothing's wrong, I'll head back soon," Sheng Yuan stood up and gently knocked on Xia Zhu's desk: "Although I know you won't take my words seriously... but I hope you can stay at home and avoid accidents. In an hour, Mu Yan will send someone over. Do you want me to accompany you for a while?"

  A hint of gratitude flashed across Xia Zhu's eyebrows and eyes, and she nodded slightly, saying seriously: "Thank you, senior. Don't worry, it's safe here."

  Although deeply grateful in his heart, he couldn't keep it, so he simply didn't make promises.

  It is precisely because Xi Jinping's goal is himself that he cannot retreat even more.

  This is summer bamboo.

  After Shengyuan left, she went to the mailbox, knowing there was a letter inside.

  Open the white envelope, inside there is a withered daisy and a card, deliberately placed face down.

  Xia Zhu's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly as she flipped over the card...

  Xiao Wang
