Chapter 22
Just when there was only one cigarette left in Yan Junli's hand, there was a knock on the car window.Yan Junli pinched the cigarette butt, and slowly rolled down the car window, Yang Wenbin's delicate face wrinkled into a ball of displeasure.

"Smoking again." Yang Wenbin opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat. He glanced at the cigarette butts in the ashtray with disgust, "Do you know that smoking shortens your life?"

"Short life?" Yan Junli laughed and started the car, "What kind of short life do people in this industry fear? Whether they can die naturally is still unknown."

Yang Wenbin ignored his teasing, and directly talked about the case, "Could that corpse belong to Xie Mingqing?"

"You ask me, who am I to ask?" Yan Junli tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, "None of us will know until the DNA results come out."

"Then do you hope that the corpse belongs to Xie Mingqing?"

"It's hard to say." Yan Junli sighed, "If the corpse is Xie Mingqing, then at least we have a new direction of investigation. But at the same time, the case will become more complicated and confusing."

Yang Wenbin nodded, leaned back, and put his head on the cushion, "I think the thing that confuses me the most in this case is the interpersonal relationship. It's like a mess of wool, but I can't find the end of the thread."

"Yes," Yan Junli agreed, "First of all, the case of Xie Fengming is related to the case of the disfigured female corpse 20 years ago. Even if the murderer is not the same person, it must be for the same reason. Secondly, Xie Fengming's death has drawn at least two characters, One is Xia Baiyan, and the other is Xie Mingqing."

"If Xie Mingqing is really related to the old case 20 years ago, we will have a breakthrough to find the murderer's motive." Yang Wenbin frowned, "But everything else is still unclear. For example, Keiko is in this case. What role does it play in the movie, such as Xia Baiyan's identity, and the rice green liquid in Xie Fengming's body, is it left by the murderer, or are there other possibilities?"

"It's not just that." Yan Junli pondered for a while before saying, "I always feel that there should be another person in this case."

"Another person?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"Yes, if there is no such person, I always feel that something does not make sense." Yan Junli explained, "For example, who spread those legends? It is so close to the case. For example, why did Huizi and the owner of the fried dumpling shop So it was a coincidence that it disappeared on the day we went to investigate? Xia Baiyan fled deliberately, not so much for fear of crime, but as if he was protecting someone. Huizi, Xia Baiyan, Xie Fengming, these seemingly unrelated characters are connected together It's all related to this tragedy, don't you think there's someone in the dark who has drawn a thread for them and made them coincidentally become the key persons in the case?"

Yang Wenbin understood his meaning as soon as he heard it, and fell into deep thought, "Then you mean, that unknown person in the dark is the murderer we are looking for?"

"It's very likely that's the case."

Under the clear sky, the car carrying the two of them drove towards the C City Police Station.

However, what they never expected was that the police station welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Team Yan, Team Yan!" As soon as Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin entered the door, they were almost bumped into by Li Hong who was rushing over, and the latter slammed on the brakes and stopped.

"What's the matter, in a hurry?"

"Xia Baiyan!" Li Hong said, "Captain, you will never believe that Xia Baiyan came to the police station by himself."

Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin looked at each other and hurried in.Sure enough, Xia Baiyan's iconic disheveled blond hair was dangling on his head, his legs were crossed, and some dirty sneakers were just laid on the table, looking like an old man.

Yan Junli became angry when he saw it, and took three steps forward, "Xia Baiyan! Put your feet down, what do you want to do? Where did you go when we were looking for you before? Now you come here by yourself What are you doing?"

Xia Baiyan had a playful smile, and automatically ignored the words "put your feet down", "Oh, didn't I say that? I was too busy when you were looking for me before. I was busy looking for cats, and then cats After I found it, I thought about it and thought it was wrong. I am such a three-good... no, how can I be wanted by the police as an excellent citizen with five good and six good? So I made a glorious and great decision to surrender myself!"

Yan Junli sneered, "Okay, come on, Xiao Wu! Bring the handcuffs and handcuff this man to the detention center!"

Xia Baiyan softened immediately, "Oh, don't, don't, Officer Yan, I mean! In order to prove that I am an excellent citizen, I decided to come to the police station in person and provide clues to the police, so as to clear the suspicion of the handsome me. !"

Yan Junli smiled, "Okay, let's trust you once, let's go, this way please."

Originally thought that this dishonest Xia Baiyan would finally give in obediently once, but he didn't expect Xia Baiyan to put his legs up on the table as soon as he sat in the interrogation room.

"I want a Coke!"

"There is no Coke in the police station!" Yan Junli's face was gloomy.

"What? There's no Coke!" Xia Baiyan said with staring eyes, "The service attitude is too bad, how can the prisoner ask? Is there any Sprite?"

"No Sprite either!" Yan Junli suppressed his anger and said, "White water and coffee, you choose."

"Oh——" Xia Baiyan looked disappointed, "Then let's have coffee! Bring me my coffee!"

"Don't you think, you should at least use 'please'?" Yan Junli snapped.

"Oh!" Xia Baiyan said happily, "Bring me my coffee!"

Yan Junli really wanted to slap him.

The disposable paper cup was placed heavily in front of Xia Baiyan, with such force that the coffee inside spilled out.Yan Junli sat down opposite Xia Baiyan angrily, opened the notebook, and pressed the ballpoint pen refill hard.

"Okay, your coffee is also 'invited', it's time to speak." Yan Junli said, lowering his body threateningly, approaching Xia Baiyan, "I will warn you first, based on what you are doing now, if you can't get it If you have any strong evidence or clues to prove your innocence, once you enter the police station, you may not be able to get out."

Xia Baiyan was not afraid at all, instead he straightened his body, pulled the distance between the two of them closer, and smiled mysteriously, "I came in, so of course I didn't want to go out. Officer Yan, haven't you discovered the situation until now? It’s much safer inside than outside.”

Yan Junli suddenly opened the distance, with sharp eyes, "Let's start with the unknown corpse, how did you know there was a corpse there?"

"That's not some nameless corpse." Xia Baiyan smiled contemptuously, "It's Xie Mingqing's corpse."

"Don't evade the question, I asked how do you know."
