Chapter 68 The Final Case (6)

  Xia Zhu returned to the police station in a daze.

  These days of continuous events made her physically and mentally exhausted, but she couldn't afford to be disordered. Anyone can have pressure, anyone can say they want to give up, only Xia Zhu cannot.

  Because the person who is now in danger is Lin Yuanlie, who is the most important person to Xia Zhu.

  Similarly, Lin Yuanli is now under suspicion. No one needs to learn to be strong more than Xia Zhu does now. The entire homicide team's attention is focused on Xia Zhu, and she must learn to be strong.

  Apart from walking on, gritting her teeth and walking on, Xia Zhu had no other choice.

  Zou Mianyuan sat in the array, and the case volume room quickly brought out the case volumes of that year. Bian Qian repeatedly warned not to take them out.

  Xia Zhu felt that her hands were shaking slightly, she opened the case file and said in a low voice: "Can I look at it alone?"

  Zou Muyuan glanced at her and nodded: "Of course," he opened his own office for Xia Zhu, then closed the door from the outside, before turning to Sheng Yuan and saying: "I hope you trust Xia Zhu."

  "Of course." Sheng Yuan furrowed his brow.

  Zou Muyuan sighed and gazed into the distance: "Xia Zhu may make a choice, this choice will definitely involve some sacrifice, if possible... she might choose to sacrifice herself."

  Shengyuan's fingers suddenly trembled: "What did you say?"

  "Of course, this is a result we want to avoid at all costs." Zou Muyuan sighed.

  Shengyuan didn't say another word and just gave a faint glance towards the house.

  Xia Zhu's expression was unusually calm, as if he were looking at a case that had nothing to do with him.

  When Sheng Yuan furrowed his brow, he was calm and composed: "I remember someone saying before that the calmer the person appears, the more terrifying they actually are."

  Zou Mianyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Sheng Yuan: "Let's go."

  "Good." Sheng Yuan nodded, his expression complex.

  Xia Zhu almost couldn't express the feelings in her heart, it was as if a sudden stormy wave had risen at the edge of the cliff, almost sweeping her completely away.

  For so long, she has never dared to mention everything that year, as if Lin Yuan had never experienced such cruelty.

  But now, she suddenly realized... that Xi Bei, her and Yuan Qi's common opponent, was such a ruthless character.

  He quietly manipulates people's hearts, seeking the meaning of his own existence in others' suffering.

  What weaknesses does such a person have?

  Xia Zhu flipped open the deck of cards that had been mailed to her mailbox earlier, and it seemed to still have Lin Yuan's body heat on it.

  If there's no way to get in through the criminal's weakness... Xia Zhu furrowed her brow and decided to change her angle.

  Perhaps she should learn to consider things from Lin Yuan's perspective. Now that she has sent this poker card to herself, what is the purpose of it all?

  Lin Yuanxie will not fall into darkness, this is the only thing Xia Zhu can confirm.

  He is gambling, engaging in a high-stakes gamble.

  Only when they thoroughly understand his meaning can they win from it.

  This gamble involved the fate of both of them, implicated Xi Bei, and implicated everything over all these years.

  Only by successfully passing through this stage can they hold hands with Lin Yuan and walk towards their common future.

  Xia Zhu's expression slightly solidified as she thought of this, and she flipped through the cards in her hand again, stopping at the small king.

  If I were Xiaowang and would die within 24 hours, who is Dawang?

  Lin Yuanjie

  Xie Bao's ultimate goal must be Lin Yuanbai.

  But... Da Wang and Xiao Wang are relative, with Xi Zuo's personality and habits, would he really put himself and Lin Yuanbai on the two ends of the scale?

  Xia Zhu's expression suddenly turned cold.

  No... no way...

  Xie Ba's real goal was not to watch Xia Zhu collapse, but to force Lin Yuanli to become a thorough criminal.

  It's impossible for Lin Yuanxi to kill Xia Zhu with his own hands, Lin Yuanxi's spirit and will are too strong, no matter what, he can't shake his position in his heart, let alone make Lin Yuanxi angry and kill someone.

  So there is only one possibility.

  Xiao Wang is just a smokescreen.

  Xie's real intention might be to let Lin Farong kill him and become a real murderer, then under the huge public opinion pressure and psychological pressure, thoroughly go astray.

  At that time, Lin Yuan may have only had two choices: either follow Xi Zhen's footsteps and become a real criminal.

  Otherwise... it is self-destruction.

  But neither of these is what Xia Zhu wants to see.

  She pushed open the door and rushed towards Zou Muyuan: "Captain."

  Zou Muyuan was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

  "I think we need to put on an act," Xia Zhu had completely calmed down in just a few minutes: "We need to make Xi Bian believe that we're already in the game."

  She repeated her reasoning to Zou Muyuan and Sheng Yuan, and Sheng Yuan's face changed slightly: "There is only one way to make Lin Yuankai the murderer."

  "He poses a threat to the person he values most." Zou Mianyuan said in a cold voice.

  "He's inviting you into a trap." Sheng Yuan's face didn't look good.

  "He won't kill me," Xia Zhu smiled faintly, her expression extremely solemn: "If he kills me, Xi Bao's hands will be stained with blood, he won't do that."

  Zou Mianyuan shook his head: "Without concrete evidence, I think Xi Zuo is just a madman."

  This sentence doesn't conform to any common sense in psychology, but Xia Zhu endured and didn't say it out loud to hurt him.

  Zou Muyuan said: "So... did Xi Bao tell you where they are?"

  "This deck of cards reveals a lot, for instance, being able to reach my mailbox without going through the garden surveillance in such a short time, it seems there's only one possibility," Xia Zhu said with her eyebrows slightly lowered: "They actually live in the same building as me."

  This sentence is no less than a huge stone thrown into the river.

  Zou Muyuan and Sheng Yuan both fell silent: "In that case, let's directly search for the past..."

  Zou Mianyuan said halfway, then shut his mouth with a pale face.

  There is no evidence that any of the victims were involved in a crime. Those who died, after so many investigations, turned out to be someone else.

  Xī Bǎo has been behind the scenes from start to finish, manipulating all this cruelty.

  Xia Zhu said it right, Xi Zuo's hands had never been stained with any blood, Lin Yuanli did not come out, if it was not because Xi Zuo restricted his freedom, the greater possibility is that... he had never found the opportunity to record audio or video.

  Xie Bao is too cautious, he doesn't believe Lin Yuanlie, how would he let Lin Yuanlie obtain any evidence?

  This round, perhaps from the very beginning, should not have let Lin Yuan enter so easily.

  "Anyway, I'll arrange for a patrol inspection." Zou Mingyuan walked aside to make a phone call.

  Xia Zhu's expression was somewhat dim: "I hope the captain will allow me to go in and negotiate."

  "He is not a fugitive, and the word 'negotiation' does not apply." Sheng Yu furrowed his brow.

  "Well...in that case..." Xia Zhu slowly removed the police badge from his chest, as if after a moment of internal struggle, and placed it on the table: "I'm applying to raid a civilian's residence."

  Shengyuan's face suddenly fell.

  Zou Muyuan's face turned pale as he walked out of the phone call: "What did you say?"
