But Jiang Qinglan could not calm down for a long time, and she did not eat lunch. He had been hungry all this time.

She kept reminding herself that she didn't kill her, it was just that the old man suddenly had a sickness of his own.

But every time she thought of her twitching face before she died and the hand reaching out to her, she felt as if she were back on the spot.

She was restless and had been wandering around the house all day.

That night, she didn't dare to sleep. After all, there was a corpse in the house across the way. At the thought of this, she lost all sleep.

For days.

Xiao He and Ning Ruonan have not followed up on this case since their return from Jiang Qing Lan's home that day.

They all agreed that this was the normal behavior of a widowed woman, and that it would be good for the child to stay with his grandma for a while.

Until one morning, Xiao He received another report. This time it was not about Jiang Qinglan and her daughter, but about Grandma Zhang.

Zhang Tao, a permanent professor at Princeton University, is nearly 50 years old this year. After this elementary school year, he decided to come back and see his mother.

Who would have thought that she would come back to face the image of her mother at home, her room stinging.

Many days of continuous lack of sleep finally crushed Jiang Qinglan.

However, the smell of the corpse had already permeated into the corridor.

Early in the morning, after smelling the scent, Jiang Qinglan woke up from her shallow sleep.

It had been five days since Grandma Zhang was killed.

Jiang Qinglan sat listlessly on the bed, using the blanket to cover her nose as her body shrunk into a ball.

Suddenly she seemed to hear something.

She quickly got off the bed. Through the peephole on the door, she saw Zhang Tao. He had returned. He was just opening the door.

With one glance, she turned her back to the door in shock. She didn't want to see this scene, but deep down, she didn't want to.

However, since the body had been found, it should be moved soon.

Thinking of this, the burden in Jiang Qinglan's heart was somewhat lightened. After all, this meant that she could finally sleep.

After Xiao He received the report, he immediately rushed over to the scene. Along the way, he and Ning Ruonan were both very complicated and didn't want to say anything.

There was no sign of anything unnatural at the scene,

Of course, there was no useful evidence.

The medical examiner's autopsy report came out a day later. It was a myocardial infarction. There was no risk of unnatural death.

However, Zhang Tao was not satisfied with this result. This time, he went straight to his office.

"I want to find Xiao He."

Little Mi looked at the person in front of her with unconcealable surprise. Heart: This is the first time someone has said they want to look for our team Xiao.

"No problem, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Xiaomi went to the forensics department to look for Xiao He. Xiao He was also in the midst of discussing the cause of death with Forensic Yuan.

"Captain Xiao, someone called Zhang Tao is looking for you outside."

"Alright, Forensic Physician Yuan. I'll be going over first then."

"Go."

When he arrived at the office, he found that Zhang Tao was already waiting there. His eyes were still red and swollen like when he had arrived at the scene that day. Clearly, he was not as calm as he had imagined.

"Hello, Captain Xiao." As he spoke, Zhang Tao extended his hand.

"I heard that you're in the middle of your homicide squad, so I wanted to come over today to consult with you."

Xiao He looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression. Smiling, he shook his hand and said, "I dare not say so. Do you still have any doubts about your mother's death?"

"That's right. I want you, including the professional Forensics examiner, to explain my mother's sudden illness." As he said that, he held his arms in a playful manner and said, "Does Forensic Yuan feel that the patient will suffer from an uncontrollable illness without any warning or stimulus?"

Xiao He frowned and did not say anything. This was also the topic that he and Forensic Yuan was currently discussing.

Then, Zhang Tao sternly said, "I don't know about the other patients, but I dare say that I understand my mother's situation very well. If there was no external stimulus, there would usually be a warning before her attack, a sign that she would be aware of herself, and she would take the drug in advance. This way, even if the attack occurs, the disease will still be in a controllable state, and not in a situation like this — sudden death. " When he spat out the last four words, it was exceptionally light and sorrowful.

Xiao He could not bear to see this.

"And look," Zhang Tao said as he took out a newly printed picture from his document bag.

It was a picture of Grandma's body, taken at an angle slightly parallel to the ground.

Zhang Tao pointed at the photo and said, "Look, my mother fell face first towards the door. Do you know what that means? Captain Xiao. "

Xiao He frowned. Why did he miss such an important detail? Therefore, he opened his mouth silently:

"That means there might have been someone else in the room. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right." Zhang Tao looked at Xiao He as if he were a student who could be taught.

"My apologies, Mr. Zhang. This was the negligence of our homicide squad. I apologize to you here. We'll go back to the scene and search again. We won't let you down this time. "

Only then did Zhang Tao leave in satisfaction. Before leaving, he left the photo with Xiao He.

For the entire day, Xiao He's eyebrows were knitted tightly.

Ning Ruonan walked forward:

"Do you think there's something fishy about our two incidents?"

Xiao He raised his head. Seeing that it was her, he nodded:

"That's right, that day we went to investigate Jiang Qinglan, and something happened to Grandma Zhang as well. I really don't know how to believe that there is no connection between the two matters, but before we find out and have no evidence, we can't tell this to Mr. Zhang." He was already on the verge of breaking down from his sadness, so he can't take this kind of blow. "

Ning Ruonan understood the meaning behind Xiao He's words.

That afternoon, the entire homicide squad once again set out on a carpet search of Grandma Zhang's residence.
