The middle-aged man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. You could see with the naked eye that his masseter muscles were beating.
"You know nothing!"
Lao Du couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "I also have a daughter who is about the same age as Xia Jing. I don't understand what you think. When a child is hurt like this, the parents are the ones who feel the most pain! At this time, she is most distressed.
I need your care and companionship, not such accusations and beatings! She has done nothing wrong. Believe me, for Xia Jing, it is much better for Xia Jing to let the person who hurt him be punished by the law than to hide and escape!
"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, held it in for a while, and just growled, "She deserves to be hurt!"
The middle-aged woman was crying and shaking her head. She was still pulling Xia Jing and begging, "Jingjing, don't pursue it anymore. Just let the past go by, okay? You can't let this incident ruin your life."
Your parents will only have you for the rest of your life! Jingjing, just beg you as your mother, let’s go home, okay?”
Lao Du couldn't stand it anymore, so he ignored the middle-aged woman who was still crying and said directly, "Xia Jing, there are still some details in the case. You have to come with me again."
Xia Jing arranged her hair to cover her red and swollen face, and nodded, "Okay."
Li Li showed the search warrant, "Xia Jing, due to the special circumstances of the case, we need to search Room 1902 of Jincai Apartment where you live."
Xia Jing stopped closing the door and turned to look at the room, "I know, please do it."
After saying that, Xia Jing passed over Lao Du and Xia Jie and walked towards the elevator entrance.
"Jingjing!"
The middle-aged woman knelt on the ground with a plop, crying, "Mom, please, let's go home! Go home!"
Xia Jing's back stiffened, her steps stopped, but she didn't look back.
"Mom, don't worry, I will go home."
After Xia Jing finished speaking, she walked into the elevator without hesitation. Although her eyes were red, her eyes were full of determination.
The middle-aged man pulled the woman who was lying on the ground up and sighed, "Let's go, find a place to stay first."
Li Li frowned and looked in the direction of the elevator. He always felt that there was something strange about this couple, but he couldn't pinpoint what was strange about them.
Li Li was tapped on the shoulder, "Hey, brother, was someone quarreling just now? What was the quarrel about?"
Li Li turned his head, and behind him stood a young man with a head on his head, headphones hanging around his neck, and wearing a pair of wrinkled home clothes with sleepy eyes.
This must be the e-sports anchor who lives next door to Xia Jing.
Thinking that he couldn't provide any useful clues, Li Li was inexplicably a little irritated. Although he knew that this was wrong, he couldn't help but said, "It's none of your business, go to sleep!"
Young people have bad tempers. The young people pulled off their earphones and tried to reason with Li Li.
"Is there something wrong with you? Did you get bitten by a dog and didn't get vaccinated? I just want to ask you, why are you crazy?"
Just saying that wasn't enough. The young man rolled up his sleeves and exposed his thin little arms. Then he raised his legs and saw a police officer's ID card in front of him——
"Don't you want to know what people were arguing about just now? Come back with me and I'll tell you slowly?"
"no, I'm fine."
The young man immediately became discouraged and retreated home with a smile on his face. "Thank you, police officer. I'll go back and go to sleep."
Li Li rolled his eyes, thought for a while, took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Che's number. He should report the matter of Xia Jing's parents to his boss.
Li Li felt that Lin Che's voice was very low, but he didn't think much about it. After the report, he quickly went into the house and searched with his colleagues who were involved in the trace inspection.
Although the apartment is not big, it still takes a lot of time to search it carefully. The four people came here in the morning and were busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon.
No useful evidence clues were found.
"Thank you for your hard work, please go back first and have a drink together after the New Year!"
Li Li greeted his colleagues at the mark inspection and prepared to meet up with Yu Yu at Hao's house in Jinkai.
As soon as he walked out of the apartment building, Yu's phone call came.
"I found something here!"
Xiao Yu's tone on the other end of the phone was very excited, "We found ingredients of psychotropic drugs in a bottle of Wang Aiping's lotion, and we've already sent her to the laboratory!"
Hearing this, Li Li's energy also perked up, "Great, I'll come over now!"
Li Li held the phone and exchanged information about the two searches with Yu Xiao while striding out of the community. As soon as he walked out of the community, Li Li stopped in his tracks!
He turned back a few steps and stared at the row of trash cans next to the community wall.
An old man wearing a dirty apron, hunched over, wearing a ripped woolen hat, and carrying a woman's bag, was squatting next to the trash can sorting out empty bottles, with bundled paper shells piled next to him.
.
The Coach bag that Jin Kaihao bought for Xia Jing was a high-street style that was carried by many people, but an old man who collects garbage and paper shells would never carry such a bag!
Intuition told Li Li that this old man was carrying the bag that he couldn't find after searching the entire apartment!
"Li Li, when will you come over?"
Xiao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I can't come over. I also found new clues here."
Li Li hung up the phone and called Luochuan Road Police Station. Within ten minutes, Lao Huang hurried over on a shared bicycle.
The old man was very frightened. Fortunately, everyone in the area knew Lao Huang, so the old man followed the two men to the police station with confidence.

Sioux City.
Lin Che and Mu Yang went to the Sioux City Criminal Police Team first. Probably because they were afraid that others would recognize Mu Yang as her niece again, the first thing Lin Che said was to introduce Mu Yang's identity.
They were all detectives, and they all had the same temperament. They went straight to the topic without exchanging a few words.
Lin Che roughly explained the situation and asked them to help Jin Kai and find out about the old man selling maltose next to the Weiming Lake Scenic Area that Hao said. The Wang Bureau had already coordinated with Lin Che and the others before they came. Su City was very cooperative and had prepared it in advance.
Got some information.
Lin Che was so busy that Mu Yang didn't quite understand. She was watching the transcripts and videos of Xia Jing's previous interrogation and was not idle.
But the further down he looked, the more serious Mu Yang's face became.
It gets dark early in winter, and around dusk, news came from Su City——
There were indeed a few old men who often came to sell maltose at a stall next to the Weiming Lake Scenic Area. The one Lin Che and the others were looking for. At the end of last year, due to poor health, they moved to Hangzhou to live with their son. A month ago,
Because he died of lung cancer, according to the old man's son, the old man never mentioned similar people or things to them.
What Jin Kaihao said about staying at the old man's house for one night because of the heavy rain, either the old man didn't take it to heart and forgot about it, or Jin Kaihao was lying!
