Chapter 71 The Last Case (9)

  Shengyuan and Zou Muyuan, being colleagues of the persons involved in the case, were naturally excluded from the list of those responsible for the arrest. Xia Zhu was even less likely to be included.

  She locked herself in the house, just like countless days before.

  Zou Mianyuan stood outside the door for a while, then silently shook his head.

  "Is she all right?" Sheng Yuan asked softly.

  "She'll be fine." Zou Muyuan's tone was very firm.

  Because she is Xia Zhu, Lin Yuan's only girlfriend.

  So she will be stronger than anyone else.

  Shengyuan stood silently at the door for a while, then called takeout milk tea and quietly placed it on the balcony.

  He thought that if this could be even a little comfort, it would be good.

  Xia Zhu stayed inside for a whole day, and during this whole day, the outside world underwent earth-shaking changes.

  Lin Yuanxi's evidence in hand played a role, but at the same time, the water pipe in the apartment building burst, and no one knew what happened.

  What's even more frightening is that Xiabo is dead.

  He died very peacefully, according to the sniper, he just took people's money, and who paid was simply self-evident.

  Xia Zhu heard and saw it all, but remained silent.

  She didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

  After she came out, she only said one sentence.

  "I know how Xie Bao did it."

  Outside was pitch black, Zou Mianyuan hugged his arms and looked at her, with fatigue in his eyes, but more of a smile: "Good."

  The whole criminal investigation team stayed behind, Xia Zhuo slightly stunned: "It's already eleven o'clock, everyone..."

  "Lao Lin hasn't returned yet, so we can't go back directly," said Zou Muyuan.

  "Thank you everyone."

  "Don't be polite, time is everything, speak up." Sheng Yuan patted her shoulder.

  "Half of the 24-hour detention period has passed, and in this half of the time, I think the police also don't have all the evidence in their hands. What I can see now is that Xi planned everything out, and we now have Lin Yuan's undercover proof documents, as well as the materials brought back by Lin Yuan."

  Xia Zhuyang held up a copy of the ring: "Right here, I watched this video repeatedly and found traces of editing. As for the old building's water pipe bursting, it was probably because an explosion test had been conducted in the water pipe."

  "Explosion test", Sheng Yuan frowned.

  Xia Zhu nodded: "At the beginning of the police station explosion, there were many suspicious points at that time, such as the amount of explosives and the strange structure. I brought the appraisal report at that time. Such precise control not only requires a deep understanding of chemicals but also requires some precise experiments. The former is naturally possessed by Xi Biao, while the latter needs such experiments."

  "How long did Xi Zuo stay there?" Sheng Yuan asked.

  "It's been about a year and a half, to be exact the owner is his disciple, but this person has already been captured by us, so there is an obvious connection with Xi Biao, at that time Yuan Ke had not yet gone undercover." said Xia Zhu.

  Zou Muyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he nodded: "So next we need to prove is that Xi Zhen, as the person directly responsible, should take responsibility for this case."

  "He's very clever," Sheng Yuan said suddenly: "If Xi Bao died, the police would put the blame on him. The person in charge would have to take a great risk, otherwise it would be considered internal protection."

  "It's obvious that the person in charge will now subject Lin Yuanxi to a severe interrogation." Zou Mianyuan said with a frown.

  Xia Zhu fell silent.

  "I think Far Seventh can guess it." After a long time, she opened her mouth and smiled.

  "No one likes being interrogated, but I also believe he can take it." Zou Mianyuan sighed.

  Sheng Yuan said in a low voice: "The homicide team has handed over the undercover proof documents, but Yan Qi himself refused to meet with them and also refused to hire a lawyer."

  Xia Zhu was taken aback: "What"

  "Although there is no suspicion, it's clear that Far Seventh intends to prove his innocence." Zou Mingyuan said in a low voice.

  Xia Zhu frowned.

  It's really like his style, a heart-wrenching stubbornness.

  But this time standing behind him was not just himself, but the entire major crimes team.

  Just thinking about it makes me feel at ease from the bottom of my heart.

  "What can we do now?" Sheng Yuan asked first.

  "First, thoroughly investigate the water pipe marks in that apartment. I think the evidence team should have done this already, we just need to go get the data and analyze it, sorry for the trouble, senior. Additionally, continue analyzing several cases related to Xi Bao's connections, clarify Xi Bao's contact methods, whether by phone message or email. Lastly, I'm still a bit concerned about the poker card at my door, please ask again if there was any message on the poker card at that time."

  "Alright." Shengyuan agreed.

  Everyone went about their own business.

  Xia Zhu turned around and said to Zou Mu Yuan: "Captain, I might want to ask for a leave."

  "It's already time to get off work and you still need to ask for leave." Zou Mianyuan smiled: "I'll find someone to send you back."

  Even if Xi Bao is dead, the shadow he brought still exists. Zou Mianyuan does not want anyone to get into trouble.

  Xia Zhu smiled and shook his head: "I'll go take care of it."

  "Alright." Zou Muyuan nodded slightly.

  Although Lin Yuanqi clearly refused to meet with visitors, Xia Zhu might be a little different.

  A person who has never been sociable and dislikes socializing will gradually become more affable because of Xia Zhu, will gradually become a flesh-and-blood existence because of Xia Zhu, and will also make the decision to face difficulties squarely because of Xia Zhu.

  "It's actually us who won now." Xia Zhu went out before, Zou Mu-yuan took the car key to send her off.

  Xia Zhu was taken aback for a moment.

  "Because Xi Bao is dead." Zou Mianyuan smiled, revealing two good-looking dimples.

  Xia Zhu smiled: "Yes."

  Because Xi Bi is dead, while Lin Yuanlie and Xia Zhu are still alive, they are all doing well here studying the death of Xi Bi.

  That alone is already perfect.

  Zou Muyuan sent Xia Zhu to the door and stood outside waiting.

  Xia Zhu went in and explained the purpose of his visit. Soon after, he received a notification allowing him to visit.

  Lin Yuanxu sat behind the glass panel, looking calm and serene, his eyes cast downward. Xia Zhu saw that he was wearing handcuffs on his hands, and her eyes instantly turned red.

  "Isn't it 'presumed innocent until proven guilty'?" she asked softly.

  "It's just a rule." Lin Yuanxi smiled and comforted in a gentle voice.

  "What's with the water pipe?" Although it was only a short time since they last met, Xia Zhu felt inexplicably that Lin Yuanxi had become thinner.

  That slight sense of discord suddenly made her feel a little sad.

  Lin Yuanxi was originally very thin, but now he can hardly bear such clothes.

  Xia Zhu sighed and smiled, suddenly changing the subject: "When you come out, I'll make you a stew to drink."

  Lin Yuanxi nodded: "Good."

  "The pipe burst because there were five previous underwater explosion attempts inside, but the dosage was not controlled properly before, so the one at the police station was actually an underwater explosion, that's why the explosive wasn't thoroughly investigated. Similarly, the poker card I gave you has a torn-out piece with the password to decrypt the email from Xi Bi, take a good look at it, let Zou Yunyuan and Sheng Yuan see it too, but be careful, there's a mole in the police station." Lin Yuanyi said succinctly.

  "So you refused all visits." Xia Zhu was taken aback.

  Lin Yuanxi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

  Xia Zhu suddenly fell silent.

  Lin Yuanxiao only trusted himself, and such trust was almost unconditional. Looking back at his reaction after being drugged, Xia Zhu suddenly spoke up.

  "I have never doubted you, and I will always be clear of conscience about this."

  Lin Yuan's pair of peach blossom eyes slightly raised, quietly gazing at Xia Zhu.

  Xia Zhu repeated it again, word for word, with a clear conscience.

  "I know." Lin Yuan said finally.

  He smiled relievedly, gentle and good-looking.

  "The time limit is ten hours, don't overexert yourself, but you must work hard, after all, you are my disciple."

  The last half sentence, his tone was slightly raised, as if with a hint of a smile.

  Xia Zhu nodded heavily.

  Everyone understands that once a case enters the procuratorate, it will be troublesome to make an acquittal in the end, so it is best not to file a case.

  "Ah, we have an undercover proof," Xia Zhu said suddenly.

  Lin Yuan shook his head: "The undercover proof opened by our own people had no effect at first because it was not filed."

  However, at that time, they were unable to file in a timely manner due to their preparations for Shi Bao.

  The light in Xia Zhu's eyes did not dim because of this, she just nodded firmly: "I understand."

  Lin Yuanxiao smiled: "Go ahead, don't worry about me."

  "Alright, take care." Xia Zhu rubbed her eyes, trying to hold back tears that threatened to fall.

  At that moment, she felt that Lin Yuan was actually like before, patting her shoulder with a gentle tone of regret.

  But he couldn't make it.

  They were separated by a cold glass panel, from then on it was as if two worlds had been torn apart.

  Xia Zhu suddenly felt very sad, and as a result, his fighting spirit became even more vigorous.

  At this time, Zou Mu-yuan was constantly sending something.

  "Captain." Xia Zhu pulled open the car door and got in.

  "Shengyuan said that a mysterious X has been discovered, and there are multiple communication records between him and Xi. Now he is preparing to distribute emails to everyone, trying to crack the code," said Zou Muyuan.

  "It can't be, X might be a mole within the police department." Xia Zhu hastily said.

  "Insider" Zou Muyuan was taken aback and quickly called Sheng Yuan.

  The phone connected after three seconds, and on the other end was the voice of Yao Yuan from the evidence team: "Captain, I'm sorry."

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

  "Half of the emails were deleted within three seconds, and in the next second, the phone was snatched away by Shengyuan."

  "It's my fault," Shengyuan said, turning to Zou Muyuan: "It was encrypted and couldn't be cracked for the time being. As a result, Xiao Yao's computer was hacked."

  Zou Mianyuan was silent for a moment, then casually said a few words and hung up the phone.

  A moment later, he received a text message from Sheng Yuan.

  "I have a copy."

  "Yao Yuan might be a mole." cc2907201
