    Xie Huai suggested: "Let's go back to the police station first."

    "But we're leaving, what about Zhang Jian?" Bao Le hesitated.For no other reason, they finally rescued Zhang Jian. Since they knew that he was the target of the murderer, and since the murderer is very likely to have the ability to pause time, then if they don’t guard him, no matter how many guards there are, it’s useless.

    After a long time, Jun Zhi came over and stood calmly at the door of the ward: "I'll take care of it."

    Both Bao Le and Xie Huai were taken aback, so Jun Zhi explained again: "The ability of the Xie family is useless to me." He reached out and rubbed Baole's hair, watching the little girl holding her head sillyHe seemed to be in a good mood and said, "Go early and come back early."

    "Okay," the little girl nodded seriously, and then said to Xie Huai, "Let's go back to the police station."

    She is really full of energy, for the truth that is getting closer and closer, and for the sake of her sweetheart, "Go early and return early".Xie Huai followed Baole, and after walking for a while, the little girl turned around suddenly, which startled him, but Bao Le didn't turn to look at him.She was already a little slow, when someone confessed, she was thinking about the case, and now she was going to solve the case, she suddenly remembered whether her behavior just now was too embarrassing.

    The little girl of Jiang's family took three steps in parallel, passed by Xie Huai, and threw herself into the arms of the person behind him.

    Even though she made a big charge when she ran over, those who practiced martial arts all the year round were not swayed by her rushing action.Jun Zhi caught Bao Le firmly, he could support her slender waist with one hand, and lift her up in the air.

    Fortunately, there was no fourth person present besides Xie Huai.

    As for Xie Huai, who was ten meters away, it took him a long time to react.Later, someone pushed open the door outside the operating room, and a gust of cold wind blew in, mixed with crystal clear snowflakes.Xie Huai reached out to catch one piece, the temperature on his hand melted the snowflakes in his palm, he lowered his head and smiled.Thinking about it since he left every year, he hasn't smiled so sincerely for a long time.It is said that smiles are contagious, but that may not be true.

    To be honest, although he hasn't known Jiang Baole for a long time, but during the time of knowing her, if there is a moment when she resembles Nian Nian the most, he thinks it might be now.No one knows better than him the way she looks at the person she likes.

    But they are already so similar, why does he still know at a glance that she is not Nian Nian.

    In the past five years, he has been alone. He has been traveling for a day, carrying his exhausted body, and returning to his home with only one bed. He has no clue about the case and no bright future.He also felt fear, and wondered why he hadn't collapsed yet, even in his dreams, he didn't dare to have extra thoughts.But now it seems that everything is coming to an end, Xie Huai often asks himself these days, if he hadn't let go of her hand five years ago on that afternoon when the snow was about to fall...

    It would have been nice if he hadn't let go of her hand.

    ...

    Bao Le was sitting in the co-pilot, and she noticed that Xie Huai's fingers on the steering wheel had many fine and dense wounds.

    "Okay, I'll bring her here, see you in the conference room." Xie Huai hung up the Bluetooth phone, only to find that the other party was observing his fingers, "I don't know how the wound came from, there are some on my body besides my hands." SoDr. Xie rushed to answer before she asked.

    Bao Le was a little surprised by his answer.

    Xie Huai continued to explain: "It should be the sequelae of stopping time. I didn't find any wounds on Zhang Jian's hand. I don't know where so many scratches came from after the hospital. I asked Old HanCall up Nv Luoshan and look at the monitoring of the highway. I can probably suspend the time within a circle with a radius of about 1000 meters around me. The suspended time can last up to 20 minutes. I don’t know yet.If you continue to pause, how long will it take to maintain a normal state. But if you pause twice in a row, the time and distance will be halved, and some minor wounds will appear at the same time."

    Bao Le's eyes widened: "You even checked this?"

    "Didn't you say that the murderer might be our Xie family?" Xie Huai spun the steering wheel with one hand and patted her head with the other, "If the other party can pause time like me, then at leastWe must first figure out what the suspension mechanism and restrictions are, otherwise how can we catch the murderer?"

    The little girl was flattered, but felt a little guilty about Xie Huai's unconditional trust: "But this is just my guess."

    Xie Huai smiled: "Bao Le, it is our job to verify the rationality and possibility of every guess."

    "Besides, if the murderer is really related to Xie's family, I believe they will be found soon. I asked my grandfather to send over the family tree and compare the records of leaving Beijing and entering Ningxia at the end of November. Even if I search one by one, it should take less than two days..”

    After saying this, Xie Huai looked out the window—the old Beijing city that was still snowing in the morning, now the sun is shining brightly, the heavy snow has deposited dust, and it is still a clean and pure world.

    The truth of this tragedy that has lasted for more than ten years is finally coming to light.

    ...

    Bao Le returned to the conference room of the police station again, but this time the meeting was attended by her own people who knew her identity.Besides Old Han and the others, there was Director Zhao and an old man.Xie Huai prepared for a long time before entering the door, and then he opened the door and went in, calling out faintly: "Grandpa."

    This is not the first time that Bao Le has heard the word "grandfather" from Xie Huai. In fact, in their world, the gentle and elegant boss Xie once mentioned it.But at that time, Boss Xie mentioned his "grandpa" in a bad tone. It can be seen that no matter which world, the relationship between the Xie family is not harmonious.

    Mr. Xie nodded slightly, this was regarded as greeting Xie Huai.

    "Stop talking nonsense, we'll just wait for you two," Director Zhao said, "Let's start now."

    After receiving instructions from his boss, Han Ziyang took over the topic and said: "The case has progressed so far. First of all, we can confirm that Zhang Jian is not the murderer. When we checked his alibi, we found the store he mentioned, but there is no surveillance in the store.The surrounding alleys are also surveillance blind spots. However, after checking the intersection surveillance of the two surrounding streets, we have confirmed from the dash cams of 13 vehicles that what Zhang Jian said is true. When the Luo Xin case happened, he was in thisNear the area, there is no way to return to the Academy of Fine Arts to kill people.”

    Bureau Zhao nodded: "I heard that you have arrested another suspect?"

    "Li Yue, forty-seven years old, currently runs a private nursing home in the suburbs. He usually takes advantage of his position to have access to medical scalpels and some basic medical methods, so he meets the requirement that the murderer can cut his throat with one knife., "Han Ziyang sent the previously captured middle-aged man's information to the projection, "However, the latest clue, Li Yue is a pseudonym."

    Bao Le was shocked: "Pseudonym?"

    Team leader Han shrugged: "His face has undergone a knife operation, which is suspected to be plastic surgery, so it took a little time to find out his real identity. But even if he had plastic surgery, he still looks very different from the real Li Yue. We foundLi Yue's high school classmate, he even told us that Li Yue died in an accident more than ten years ago, because Li Yue had no father, no mother, and no relatives.Log off, so I was taken advantage of."

    Zhao Ju said: "Since he is not Li Yue, can you find out who it is?"

    "Of course," Han Ziyang cut a report, "Guan Shuping, fifty-seven years old, was the policeman who had been working with Zhu Yan in the car accident."

    "It turned out to be him!"

    Xie Huai and Bao Le looked at each other.

    Team leader Han said again: "But this man has nothing to say. Since he came in, he has not said a word except admitting that he is the murderer. Before we found out that he was Guan Shuping, he killed himself as Li Yue.In front of him, he didn't say anything except that he was Guan Shuping. Regardless of whether he was the murderer, we still lack evidence, and many details have not been sorted out. Xie Youan, you called earlier to say that there is a newThe suspect, what's going on?"

    As for the speculation about the murderer, Bao Le actually has her own ideas, but she doesn't know if she has the right to speak in front of the police chief and Grandpa Xie Huai.However, just when she was hesitating, Xie Huai saw her thoughts, patted her on the shoulder, and signaled her not to worry too much with his eyes.

    "Then let me tell."

    The little girl took a deep breath, and Xie Huai nodded.Comrade Old Han next door was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He always felt that it was their duty as a policeman to solve the case. Although he didn't reject Bao Le, he didn't expect much.

    Xie Huai seemed to believe her very much.

    Bao Le stood up and first bowed to the two elders: "Zhao Bureau, Grandpa Xie, my name is Jiang Baole. You must know who I am, and you must know where I come from, and what has it to do with the case."

    "Little girl," Mr. Xie's family tapped the ground with his crutches, "I don't need to talk about the scene, you stand up now, do you have something to say about the case?"

    Bao Le said very firmly: "I'm all guessing, I haven't verified it. In fact, there are some things that are difficult to prove unless I see it with my own eyes, but I still want to say it."

    Grandpa Xie glanced at Xie Huai, thoughtfully said: "Then you can tell."

    "First of all, it is the premise of all my conjectures. I think the murderer is a member of the Xie family, so he has the ability to pause time because he has the gift of the Xie family."

    As soon as this remark came out, except for the two members of the Xie family, the audience was in an uproar.However, what was surprising was that, with such bold and disrespectful words, the powerful grandfather of the Xie family was not angry. He waited quietly for the young girl's next words just like Xie Huai.

    "Actually, there are many indications that indirectly indicate that the murderer has the ability to pause time," Bao Le said, "In addition to the inexplicable ten minutes extra on my watch, there are also some unbelievable imaginations, such as why there are no dead ends in surveillance, but no trace of the murderer was photographed in the building of the Academy of Fine Arts, the hospital in Nan Jing, or the airport. Why did the trolley at the airport appear out of thin air? There were two guards guarding the ward in the hospital. How did the murderer bypass them?In the ward? If these are explained by time suspension, all unreasonable things can be solved."

    As expected of being a policeman for many years, Zhao Ju explained the problem she mentioned in one sentence: "Although you are just talking about your own guess, this guess is a bit too wild and still lacks some logic."

    It's just that Bao Le has also prepared the following.

    The little girl and Gao Xing whispered for a while, and the little apprentice, under the direction of the master, put a period of monitoring according to what she said.That was the surveillance on the second floor of the Academy of Fine Arts. From the beginning to the end, only one boy in a green sweater and holding painting utensils entered the second floor from the stairwell.

    I still remember Bao Le's testimony at that time. She said that she saw a black figure with her back facing her, standing motionless facing the door of the stairwell on the second floor.

    She thought he was a ghost at the time, but after the accident, she thought he was a murderer.In fact, she was wrong all along.

    "If you want to know whether the murderer will suspend time, I don't think anyone has more say than me, because I may have really been in the time that the murderer paused," Bao Le licked his lips, "Xie Huai and I triedYes, the suspension time of the Xie family is not valid for me. Not only for me, but also for my friend named Shen. "

    As soon as she said her surname was Shen, Mr. Xie knew who it was, and silently frowned.

    "It should be like this that day. The murderer dismembered the body in the studio on the first floor. He didn't expect that my friend and I also went to the studio to find Professor Luo. I wanted to go to the bathroom on the way, because the building structure only had a women's bathroom on the third floor, so II went to climb the stairs and collided with a student from the Academy of Fine Arts who came down from the second floor. He was holding paint in his hand and wearing a green sweater, and he was the one in the surveillance.”

    "Afterwards, I continued to go upstairs. At this time, the building lost power, and my friend also chose to enter the studio. The overly nervous murderer repeated his tricks, trying to stop time and escape."

    "But he didn't expect that the time suspension would not work for my friend, so he still found out. At the same time, I went to the toilet on the third floor and returned to the stairwell on the second floor, passing by a strange shadow.In fact, this black shadow is not someone else, but a student who has been suspended before entering the second floor. Although he was wearing a green sweater, the corridor was dim at that time.Associated with the shadow."

    After Bao Le finished his analysis, he contacted Xie Huai who said in the car before: "According to this inference, the scope of the murderer's ability to suspend time should be in the entire building, that is, with him as the center, with a radius of about 100 meters., the time maintenance is ten minutes. But this data may also be halved, so the range should be set at two hundred meters, and the time is twenty minutes."
