Chapter 62： Mirror on both sides

The problem at the Qingxi Gorge construction site was perfectly resolved, Pei Qing was satisfied, and Tang Xi was also satisfied.

The money she had made before was used to get rid of the Tang family. She is now very poor. Although this payment counts the friendship price, it is enough for her to lead a superior life until after the college entrance examination.

Since it's all here, Tang Xi didn't bother to find another day, and directly took the drawing and talked with Pei Qing.

Attorney Chen drafted the contract and sent it over. It happened that Chu Li was also closing the case at the construction site. After signing the contract, he finished eating together.

Maybe it was because there were too many perverted murderers and ghosts during this period, and it was rare to calm down for a while, or as she said, it's almost the end of the year, and criminals have to give themselves an annual leave, right? In the entire city bureau, except for the Theft Section and the Fraud Section, which are more busy, other departments are free.

Tang Xi also finally studied quietly, and in the monthly exam at the end of November, she climbed up dozens of places.

What surprised everyone was Qi Sihui. Since the last time a calm aura made her perform to the level she should be, this girl seemed to have become acquainted. In one fell swoop, she passed her grade in the top fifty. It is conceivable that, As long as she can maintain this grade at the end of the semester, at least she can go to class two, and work harder next semester, class one is not impossible, one foot has already stepped into the gate of a key university.

At the beginning of December, Jiangnan City officially entered the winter, and the little girl who was afraid of the cold had put on a variety of light down outside the school uniform, adding a touch of bright color to the monotonous school.

Tang Xi was not afraid of cold, even if it was really cold, he put a flame talisman next to him and could manage the whole day. Or else Captain Chu could dangle in the serious crime team with a shirt and jacket of early autumn?

Just when she thought that the peaceful days could last, the Dean of Mediterranean Teaching pushed open the door of the classroom.

"Director? Classes are not over yet." Wu Hai, who was talking about Xingtou, was very dissatisfied.

"Don't bother you, Tang Xi, come out for a while." said the dean.

Tang Xi was taken aback, put the phone in his pocket and walked out.

"Okay, okay, what to see? Continue to class!" Wu Hai patted the podium, suppressing the noise in the classroom.

"Director, what's the matter?" Tang Xi followed behind, looking at the sweaty profile of the teaching director, she couldn't think of a reason to look for her.

"You'll know in a while." The director wiped her sweat and took her directly to his office.

Tang Xi narrowed his eyes as soon as he entered the door.

There are two police officers who look very strange, at least not from the city bureau.

"Student Tang Xi?" the older policeman asked.

"I am." Tang Xi nodded.

"Hello, we are the criminal police of the Xincheng Public Security Bureau. My name is Wu. There is a case that requires you to go to the bureau to explain the situation." The policeman said.

"From Xincheng?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.

Jiangnan City is divided into four major districts. In addition to the city bureau, people from the four sub-bureaus in the southeast, northwest and northwest have had some dealings with her. Only the Xincheng Public Security Bureau has never met her.

The new city is a new district developed after the expansion of Jiangnan City in recent years. It is almost half the size of Jiangnan City. The branch office established there is said to be directly sent by the above, and they don’t even buy the city bureau’s account. At least Tang Xi usually heard a few words about the Xincheng branch in Chu Li's mouth, but there was nothing good.

"Can I see the documents? Both." Tang Xi stretched out his hand.

"The little girl has a good sense of consciousness." The two policemen smiled, and each took out a police card and handed it to her.

Tang Xi checked carefully and confirmed that it was true, so he returned it, saying, "Thank you. But I am a minor, and I have the right to notify the guardian and lawyer to cooperate with the investigation of this kind of thing."

"Yes." The police stunned and gave her a self-conscious gesture.

Tang Xi didn't shy away, took out his mobile phone, first called Lawyer Chen, and got a reply from him immediately to the Xincheng branch, and then called Chu Li to explain the situation.

"Huh?" Chu Li was also stunned, before saying for a while, "Okay, you go with them first, I'll go over immediately."

"Okay." Tang Xi hung up the phone calmly and looked up and said, "Let's go."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Although the two police officers were so calm and calm at the unexpected age of high school students, compared to the crying or hysterical Miss Jiao who refused to cooperate, Tang Xi made their work a lot easier.

Tang Xi got in the police car, the older policeman was in charge of driving, and the younger one was sitting next to her, looking like an intern.

"Could you please tell me, what do I need to cooperate with?" she asked.

"Sorry, the duty is related to the inconvenience to disclose." The little policeman next to him declined, and then seemed to feel that this was a bit fierce to a girl, and explained, "Don't be afraid, you just need to tell the truth, the police will not wrong the good guys. ..."

"Xiao Zhang!" Old Wu stopped while driving.

Xiao Zhang was startled, and closed his mouth in a jealous manner.

However, because of a word he missed, Tang Xi's heart sank.

Sure enough, her instinct was correct, saying that she was "cooperating with the investigation," but the Xincheng Branch's affiliation was obviously to treat her as a suspect, not a witness. But recently she has been on the line between school and home at two o'clock every day, and she has never even been to the city bureau. At most, after school and Qi Sihui and Xia Shuang have a cup of milk tea and a cake, what kind of cases can be provoked?

Half an hour later, the police car left the city. The new road was wide and tidy, but the newly planted trees were small, not as lush as the urban area, and the buildings on both sides could not see the residential quarters, most of which were industrial parks and factories.

"Here." Xiao Zhang spit out a word dryly until he stopped at the door of the police station, holding back all the way.

Tang Xi opened the door and got out of the car. Before he could close the car door, the next moment, the familiar car hurriedly came, with a harsh brake sound, a beautiful drift, and stopped right in front of the police car.

"Hey, no parking here!" Xiao Zhang exclaimed dissatisfiedly.

"Xiao Zhang, remember this license plate, it's a city council car." Old Wu reminded.

The words behind Xiao Zhang were held back, his face flushed.

In fact, the people in this car looked menacing, and they seemed to be unkind.

As soon as the driver's door opened, Chu Li walked down and closed the door with a snap.

"Team Chu? This is really...what brought you here?" Old Wu smiled.

"Xie Feng!" Chu Li said with a cold face.

"Team Chu?" Old Wu was confused.

"Your Xincheng Branch took my girl as a suspect and brought it for interrogation, but didn't you let me listen?" Chu Li snorted coldly.

"Your... girl?" Old Wu looked back at Tang Xi, dumbfounded.

"You are speeding." Tang Xi pointed out.

The City Bureau came here theoretically farther, and the road was more blocked, but Chu Li arrived at the same time as her.

"The speed limit in the new area is 80 yards, not the 40 yards in the old area, step on the line, no speeding!" Chu Li had no good air.

"This... Team Chu, let's go in first." Old Wu wiped his sweat and felt unlucky. Why did he take on such an errand?

Chu Li didn't say a word, took his leg and walked in first.

After finally sitting down, the atmosphere in the interrogation room was weird.

According to the rules, both Chu Li and Tang Xi's mobile phones were temporarily handed over to the police for safekeeping, but... The Xincheng Criminal Police Detachment Chief Yan Shifei, who was temporarily brought in to be in charge of the interrogation, was one of the first two leaders.

The interrogation of minors requires the presence of a guardian, which is true, but when this guardian is the leader of the city bureau's serious crime team, the Chu team known as the killing god, no one can really feel the pressure.

"Try it." Chu Li leaned back in his chair, very relaxed.

Yan Shifei smiled bitterly and settled down before taking out a photo and putting it on the table: "Miss Tang, see if you know this person."

Tang Xi glanced at it. It was a man in his thirties. He was brand-named. He seemed to be in a good family situation and had an arrogance of superiority on her face. She directly said, "I don't know."

"So sure?" Yan Shifei said, "Don't you need to look carefully?"

"He seems to be very rich. My previous living environment couldn't reach people of this level." Tang Xi said calmly, "and I have only been in Jiangnan for a few months and I am still in school, so the number of people I have daily contact with is extremely limited. If you have ever seen it, you don’t need to think carefully about the memory."

Yan Shifei was choked by her, and she couldn't make a mistake, so she could only change the question: "Miss Tang, where were you at 11 o'clock last night?"

"I am a student preparing for the college entrance examination, this time, of course, at home, where else can I be." Tang Xi said strangely.

"Who can prove it?" Yan Shifei asked.

"He." Tang Xi pointed at Chu Li and said of course, "We live together, he knows best if I'm home or not."

Yan Shifei thought for a while, then looked at Chu Li, and said tactfully: "But, Miss Tang, even if Team Chu is your guardian, you live in a house, but at 11 o'clock in the evening, he can't be with you. In the room? In other words, he can't see you at home with his own eyes."

"Team Yan thinks that when I'm sober, I won't even be able to find such a big girl secretly going out and going home?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows and said with disdain, "Or you want to say, I'll give her Conspiracy with her by perjury."

Yan Shifei twitched his lips, but still insisted: "Team Chu, you also understand the rules. Given your relationship with Miss Tang, this kind of alibi cannot be used as a strong alibi, but we have. The evidence proves that Miss Tang appeared in another place that night—"

"Check the monitoring." Chu Li interrupted directly, "Fengya Jiangnan is one of the few high-end communities in Jiangnan City. The security equipment is complete. As long as there is only a picture of her entering the corridor but not going out last night, the alibi is valid."

"These people have been sent to adjust, but Pei's property, without official approval, refused to publish the monitoring, so it wasted time." Yan Shifei was a little unhappy.

As a colleague, senior, the means of interrogation, and the complete chain of evidence, Chu Li's wrists are only more skilled than him. This feeling of interrogating suspects being suppressed everywhere makes him very uncomfortable.

"I want to ask, what am I... do you think, what the **** did I commit?" Tang Xi asked.

"This person." Yan Shifei clicked the photo on the table, stared into her eyes, and slowly said, "He died at home last night, killed by a single blow."

"!!!" Tang Xi opened his eyes wide, but soon calmed down, and pointed at himself questioningly, "So, why do you think I did it? Am I like a murderer? Or just enter the room and kill indiscriminately? The kind of strangers."

"Because the surveillance video of the victim's home showed that Miss Tang appeared there at 11 o'clock last night." Yan Shifei replied, "The one-shot killing method is very professional. It cannot be done by ordinary people who steal. He's a practicing family. As for Miss Tang, do you have the ability to kill--I also watched that video. The hijacking case of Yongning Shopping Mall has already been explained, and you have."

"Wait." Tang Xi waved his hand and stopped, "Is there any way I can say otherwise, anyway, even if there is, it is not evidence of my murder. But... are you sure that the person seen in the surveillance is me?"

"Unless Miss Tang has twin sisters who look exactly the same." Yan Shifei said.

"Can I look at the photo of the deceased?" Chu Li said suddenly.

"Please." Yan Shifei was startled and waved at him.

Chu Li picked up the photo, glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"You know?" Tang Xi said strangely.

"Although you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it." Chu Li looked at her and said.

"Who?" Tang Xi was blank.

"Yang Qingrong." Chu Li spit out a name. Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, he added, "Yang Wenqiu's younger brother, Yang Qingrong who introduced Mr. Feng Shui to Wang Liguo in the case of Emperor Jin."

"He!" Tang Xi suddenly realized, and then he was taken aback, "Yang Qingrong...was killed?"

"The suspect is you." Chu Li sneered and threw the photo back on the table.

"Why?" Tang Xi protested, "I haven't even seen it, or the last time you told me that there is such a person."

At this moment, a policeman opened the door of the interrogation room and walked in, whispering a few words in Yan Shifei's ear.

"Really?" Yan Shifei's voice suddenly rang.

"Really." The policeman nodded affirmatively. "It has been confirmed by the technical investigator. There are no signs of editing and modification. It is true."

"Okay. I see." Yan Shifei waved his hand to let him go out, a headache.

"Why, has the monitoring been checked?" Chu Li said.

"Indeed, the monitoring showed that after Miss Tang entered the corridor at 6:31 pm, she did not go out again until 6:03 this morning." Yan Shifei said.

"Then my alibi can be established?" Tang Xi asked.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Yan Shifei shook his head. "Because the surveillance video at the victim's home has also been confirmed to be authentic and effective, we still have to investigate Fengya Jiangnan to confirm whether there is a blind spot that can avoid surveillance. "

Tang Xi couldn't help frowning.

Does the monitoring blind spot exist? For most people, it does not exist. But she knew that with her abilities, even if she didn’t use Xuanmen Taoism, she still had several ways to get in and out without leaving a trace. I believe that Chu Li could do it. Everyone did it. The insiders of the public security know each other well, and need not be too clear. In the case of simultaneous surveillance on both sides, it is actually very detrimental to her to rule out the possibility that someone looks exactly the same as her.

The monitoring of Fengya Jiangnan could not prove 100% that she had not left, but the monitoring of the deceased's house could 100% prove that she had appeared.

Especially, at the time of 11 o'clock in the evening, normal people have already entered the room even if they are not asleep, and it is difficult to find personal identification.

Su Huang and Yu Mingfan can prove that she is in the room, but can the ghost testify?

Hey, Aunt Zhang gave her a cup of hot milk at 11 o'clock. I knew that the deceased could photograph "self" at home. I should have said that Chu Li gave it to her, so the personal certificate chain would be complete. It's a pity. I missed the opportunity, and now I am suspected of colluding confessions, and it is not easy to be accepted.

"It's not impossible to prove that she has never left." Chu Li thought for a while and suddenly said.

"How do you say?" Yan Shifei refreshed.

He didn't believe that Tang Xi was a suspect, but the monitoring was evidence of iron strikes. If Chu Li could rule out Tang Xi’s suspicion, at any rate they would be able to trace Tang Xi’s relatives or make-up masters and other clues, without hanging. Died on a tree.

In terms of psychology and emotion, no one wants to believe that the little girl who ventured to rescue the hostages and save the police would be a murderer.

What's more, he really didn't want to offend the serious crime team leader.

"Can you bring my phone?" Chu Li asked.

Yan Shifei nodded.

Soon, Xiao Zhang sent over the cell phone he kept.

Chu Li picked it up to unlock it, found a video to play, and put it on the table.

Yan Shifei and the old Wu next to him both leaned over to look, even Tang Xi couldn't help but be curious, what could prove that she was in the room.

The video is a bit dark. It was shot on the terrace at night. It is condescending, with thousands of lights, and in the center of Jiangnan, it is really a rare sight, which makes people think that this is the top floor of a hotel club.

It's just that the scenes are all taken in the video, and there is no one.

"This?" Yan Shifei was at a loss.

"Can't sleep, just take a picture of the night scene." Chu Li reminded, "Look at the lights."

Yan Shifei was taken aback, and then noticed that the lights in the video were a bit dim. It shouldn't be the lights on the terrace, but from inside the house. Within six or seven seconds, the lights turned off and then turned on again.

Noticing this detail, he couldn't help but grab the phone, rewind the video and watch it again.

"The place where we live is to open up two houses with exactly the same layout on the top floor. My room and the terrace of her room are connected. Here I can photograph the lights reflected in her room." Chu Li said flatly, "Our house's There is no intelligent control of the lights. The small manual mechanism can turn off the lights at a long distance, but it is impossible to turn on the lights again, which is enough to prove that there was someone in the room at that time."

As for whether the person in the room is Tang Xi or not, according to the principle of no suspicion, the police cannot prove that there is another person, so it is assumed that there is no one.

The video display time is 22:35.

"From Fengya Jiangnan to Yang Qingrong's house, even if it takes more than an hour to drive, she can't be there at Yang's house at 11 o'clock." Chu Li said.

Yan Shifei:...

"Team Chu, you are too good!" Tang Xi stared at it.

Sure enough, this is an expert in solving crimes.

Yan Shifei rubbed his temples and whispered to his subordinates to copy the video.

"Team Yan." Another policeman walked in and glanced at Tang Xi and said, "The lawyer is here."

"I see, take him to go through the formalities." Yan Shifei said helplessly, "Miss Tang, you can go back first, but if you need to leave Jiangnan recently, please report to the police first."

"Can I take a look at the video of the Yang family?" Tang Xi said, "Maybe I can see something, isn't it just like me?"

When Yan Shifei finally heard it, he swallowed back what he had originally wanted to refuse, and nodded, "Yes."

Old Wu worked on the laptop for a while and turned the screen around to show her.

The video is a surveillance screen at the gate of Yang's house. At 23:03, a girl wearing a light blue down jacket and jeans rang the doorbell, but she lowered her head and didn't see her face.

When the girl Deng entered the door, Lao Wu pressed the fast-forward button until 23:27 on the screen. The door opened again. The girl walked out. She just walked a few steps and suddenly turned her head. Her face was so unexpectedly exposed to the surveillance.

Old Wu quickly pressed the pause button quickly.

Tang Xi couldn't help shaking her hand.

If she didn't know that she had never been to the Yang family, she could doubt whether she was sleepwalking?

Chu Li leaned over and looked for a while, then suddenly said, "Did she turn around and talk to the person who brought her out at the door of the room?"

"Uncertain." Yan Shifei shook his head. "There is no sound from the monitor, and the girl in the screen did not speak. This action can be understood as she is listening to the person in the door-Yang Qingrong, who lived alone, may not have died at the time. It is understandable. Take a look at his masterpiece before leaving for the murder."

Tang Xi calmed down, "Tsk Tsk" and sighed: "Team Chu, if you don't move over to live with me, you can't really tell this time. I doubt if I have been separated for seventeen years. Twin sisters?"

Although the woman in the picture is slightly distorted due to the pixel problem of the monitoring, no matter who reads it, she can't say without conscience that she is not Tang Xi.

It's really exactly the same.

"Miss Tang, are you sure you don't have any sisters?" Yan Shi couldn't help asking.

"I'm sure I don't have it now." Tang Xi blinked her eyes and looked innocent. "But if I lost a sister when I was born, I don't know. After all... my parents were less than three years old when I was born. God, died in the fire in the maternity hospital."

Yan Shifei narrowed his eyes, apparently understanding the subtext in her words, and nodded slightly: "Okay, the police will investigate. Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome, this is a civic duty." Tang Xi replied.

Yan Shifei personally sent the two outside and returned the mobile phone.

"Miss Tang, Team Chu, the procedures are completed and you can go." Lawyer Chen walked over.

"Troubled Lawyer Chen to make this trip specially." Tang Xi said.

"It should be." Lawyer Chen smiled reservedly.

This is a guest of two generations of grandparents and grandchildren. He has been instructed a long time ago. If something happens, he can put down his work at any time to help. Anyway, Pei pays him a high salary. There is nothing to complain about, not to mention Tang Xi. A difficult customer to serve.

Yan Shifei touched his chin behind, squinting his eyes thoughtfully.

A lawyer, the most rigorous profession, but when he greeted him, he put Tang Xi in front of Chu Li. Obviously, he came for Tang Xi's face, not Chu Li.

This little girl is kind of interesting.

"Team Yan, what should I do? If it's not her, all the clues will have to be collected again." Old Wu said bitterly.

"How to put it... it's not her, I should be fortunate." Yan Shifei said, "Go, investigate how many people died and how many children were lost in the hospital fire seventeen years ago."

"There was no paperless office seventeen years ago. After the fire, a lot of information was missing. It's not easy to check." Old Wu sighed, "I will try my best."

On the other side, out of the Xincheng branch, Chu Li once again thanked Lawyer Chen and pulled Tang Xi into his car.

"Hey, don't be stubborn, I'm not a disaster." Tang Xi smiled, "I'm going to eat Shengji's spicy crab, go unlucky!"

"You have eaten three times this month." Chu Li replied casually, but the car still drove to the place she said, and said after a while, "Do you think Yang Qingrong's death is related to the Tang family?"

"I don't know." Tang Xi shook her head, "I'm the one who was the most unexpected in this matter, okay? Anyway, direct the Yan team's gaze to the Tang family to see if it can make the Tang family move. It moved. There will be flaws."

"Aren't you getting rid of them? Why are you still paying attention to the Tang family." Chu Li was puzzled.

"I got rid of it legally, but my intuition is not over yet." Tang Xi said solemnly, "Let's not say that you saw Tang Zhenying's strange attitude at the gate of the court that day. The most troublesome thing was Tang Jing."

"Tang Jing? What's wrong with her?" Chu Li was even more strange. "She is a little girl who has been hugged by mistake. Although she is a bit selfish, she is a little bit selfish about what she really wants to do."

Tang Xi was amused by him with a "puff" smile, and then said: "Tang Jing has a problem with his soul."

Hearing the words, Chu Li rolled his eyes and was too lazy to care.

He couldn't control it anyway.

"I'm just wondering, where did the guy who is exactly like me come from?" Tang Xi pondered, "The surveillance can't capture the image of the ghost, and even Yun Qi can't leave the image in the surveillance, so she is sure It is something that actually exists. Can make-up be able to transform oneself into another person? Such as plastic surgery? Ancient disfigurement?"

"Read less novels and do more test papers!" Chu Li said in a bad mood, "Do you think plastic surgery is a face squeeze in the game? Experts can see where a knife has been moved on the face at a glance. Disguise is even more nonsense, and the police identify the suspicion. People don’t just look at their appearance, they use skull imaging technology to compare them. A smooth face is not good, and the bones under the skin are all the same. At present, apart from the very similar identical twins, there are no two similar in appearance. People have been confused."

"This is strange." Tang Xi sighed.

"Let’s wait for the results of the branch investigation." Chu Li paused, "Don’t place orders these days. Go out with your classmates in school and go to places where there is much monitoring. I will go home early. You will write the questions in the evening. Write with me in the living room, try to have witnesses except when you sleep, so as not to have moths again."

"I know." Tang Xi replied, staring at the fast-rewinding scene outside the window in a daze.

The feeling that the mountain rain is coming.
