Chapter 127: An unusual sanatorium
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect to see Captain Qi here, and the person with Captain Qi was a girl.
The girl had long hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She was pretty but looked very young, probably around eighteen or nineteen years old.
At this moment, she was lowering her head, wiping her tears with her hands, and whispering something.
Qi Lei, who was sitting next to her, looked like he had drunk a lot of wine. His face was a little red and there seemed to be an indelible sadness in his eyes. He was patting the girl's shoulder, as if he was comforting her.
The girl's tears flowed more and more, and Qi Lei couldn't stop her from crying. The girl turned around and threw herself into his arms, hugged him and cried even harder, with her tears and snot all over him.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. What was going on?
She knew their captain was single, but this girl was too young. How could their captain have such a hobby?!
Qi Lei was wondering how to coax the girl in his arms when he suddenly felt there seemed to be someone outside the window. He raised his head and glanced, and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing stealthily in the yard.
"Su Xiaoxiao, come in."
Su Xiaoxiao was about to slip away, but unexpectedly she was called by the captain. She could only walk to the door slowly. She didn't want to go in. What if she saw something she shouldn't see?
"Captain, you called me."
"What are you doing hiding outside? If you want to see, come in and see."
Qi Lei's tone was not very good. Anyone who was seen in this situation would not look very good.
Oh my god, Captain Qi called her here, isn't he going to kill her to silence her?!
Su Xiaoxiao immediately stated, "Captain, I didn't see anything. Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
As Su Xiaoxiao said this, she made a gesture to cover her mouth, fearing that Qi Lei would not believe her.
Qi Lei was so angry that he laughed. What was going on?
Seeing someone coming, the girl sat up straight, but there were still traces of tears on her face.
"Come in and sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Xing Lei, my master's daughter, and this is Su Xiaoxiao, one of my teammates."
Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of the captain’s master. She said, their captain is so handsome and many people like him, so he shouldn’t be so hungry.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that the captain's mood had been a little off since he rescued Zhou Xiaomei and captured the two kidnappers.
The gun they seized was a police pistol. After investigation, it was found that the gun belonged to a police officer named Xing Jiang. This police officer was killed while chasing a robber eight years ago, and his pistol was missing.
The murderer of Xing Jiang has not been found yet, and his pistol also disappeared at that time. It is speculated that it was taken away by the person who killed him.
Later, Su Xiaoxiao learned that Xing Jiang was Captain Qi's master. Captain Qi had followed him since he graduated from the police academy and had a very deep relationship with his master. He had never given up looking for the murderer over the years.
Now that they have a clue, they will naturally not let it go. I heard that Qi Lei interrogated Lao Jin for several days in a row and almost made Lao Jin vomit, but he did not confess any valuable clues.
Qi Lei was very angry, and Xing Lei heard from somewhere that they had found new clues, so she came to ask him.
But firstly, he couldn't say it, and secondly, there were really no new clues. But Xing Lei didn't listen to his explanation at all, and scolded him for being ungrateful and saying that he had long forgotten that he still had a master, Xing Jiang.
Although Qi Lei was a little annoyed by her, he couldn't do anything about this little girl.
She is the master's only daughter. He has been taking care of her and her daughter all these years since the master passed away. It can be said that Xing Lei grew up under his care. She is like his own sister, and he cannot ignore her.
I had no choice but to bring her here to eat, hoping to distract her attention. But no matter how I tried to coax her, it didn't work. Instead, she stopped scolding me and started crying.
Qi Lei is most afraid of girls crying, it would be worse than scolding him.
In fact, he was not angry at all when Su Xiaoxiao saw him. Instead, he felt like he had seen a savior. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was trying to escape, how could he let her go? So he called her in directly.
Seeing Qi Lei winking at her repeatedly, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood.
"Captain, are there only two of you?"
Qi Lei nodded.
"Two people is boring. We have more people over there. Li Yan and Xiao Yu are here. Captain, come over and join us."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she couldn't handle this kind of girl, so she decided to leave it to Li Yan and the others. As she spoke, she pulled Xing Lei up from the chair without saying a word, and walked out with her arm in arm affectionately.
Qi Lei gave Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up, and Su Xiaoxiao responded with an OK gesture.
When they arrived at their room, although no one knew why Su Xiaoxiao went out for a walk and brought back two people, they all looked familiar. Even Xiang Nan and Chen Nansheng knew Captain Qi. Because of Zhao Wei's matter, they went to the Criminal Investigation Team to testify for Zhao Wei.
However, Qi Lei did not have a good impression of them. Xiang Nan looked extremely arrogant that time, and was exactly the type of person Qi Lei disliked the most. He did not expect that Su Xiaoxiao and the others would hang out with these prodigals, and looked very familiar.
Xiangnan didn't care whether Qi Lei had a good impression of them or not. After receiving Su Xiaoxiao's signal, the two of them got the hang of it. Together with Li Yan and Xiao Yu, they coaxed Xing Lei into laughing in no time.
Qi Lei then breathed a sigh of relief and found Xiang Nan much more pleasing to his eyes.
The next day, as soon as Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the office, Qi Lei called her over.
He handed a file to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao took it and saw that it was the case of Xing Jiang's murder eight years ago.
This is an unsolved case, and is also within the scope of the unsolved cases in previous years that they are investigating this time. Not only is it a murder, but the victim is a policeman. Therefore, this case has been designated as a key case by the Municipal Bureau, and they are required to catch the murderer without fail.
Qi Lei felt that he had read the case materials over and over again over the years, but had not found any new breakthroughs. Perhaps he had brought too many personal emotions into the case, or perhaps his thinking had become rigid.
So he thought it would be better to hand the case over to these young people, perhaps they could come up with a different idea.
"You guys take a look first. If you have any good ideas, we can communicate in time." Qi Lei looked at Su Xiaoxiao's frowning brows and was worried about putting too much pressure on her, so he added, "Don't put too much pressure on you. The murderer hasn't been found in eight years, so there's no need to rush. Do other things first and study this case when you have time."
"Okay, I'll listen to the captain." Su Xiaoxiao looked up at Qi Lei. She also had something she wanted to tell Qi Lei. She had been busy with Jiang Minmin's case these days and almost forgot about this matter.
Su Xiaoxiao discovered this by accident. They went to the sanatorium to find Zhou Xiaomei that day, but unexpectedly someone took Zhou Xiaomei away by taking advantage of a fire. She was looking for clues in the yard and found that this sanatorium was a little unusual.
"You mean there's something wrong with that nursing home?"
