Police station.

"Clang!"

The iron door of the detention room was opened, and Zhao Shanhe appeared in front of Liu Jie again.

"Did you have a good rest last night? Everyone here is a good and law-abiding citizen, except of course the mosquitoes." Zhao Shanhe said half-jokingly, squinting his eyes.

Liu Jie didn't speak the whole night after he was imprisoned. He sat in the corner alone until dawn. He didn't want to sleep, and couldn't sleep, because as long as he closed his eyes, the appearance of the old lady would appear in front of him, just like...

It lingers like a nightmare.

That kind of psychological pressure was like a huge mountain, which pressed Liu Jie so much that he could hardly breathe.

"fine."

The corners of Liu Jie's mouth moved, revealing a bitter smile.

"Are you okay? I see you were struggling after sitting all night, right?"

"What's the struggle for?"

"You know better than me what we're struggling with. You were so afraid of Sanyu. Could it be that you killed him?" Zhao Shanhe's tone suddenly became serious.

"Why should I kill her?" Liu Jie asked.

"Because Wu Xiaomei, she attacked Wu Xiaomei, so in order to protect Wu Xiaomei, you pushed San Yu down, causing San Yu's head to hit the wall, and ultimately killed her."

Zhao Shanhe expressed his speculation in a calm tone. He was testing Liu Jie.

Liu Jie blinked his eyes and felt flustered in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhao Shanhe actually told the truth verbatim. The truth was just as Zhao Shanhe said. It was indeed to protect Wu Xiaomei that he accidentally killed Chang.

Jade.

"How could it be possible? The person was already dead when I went there." Liu Jie said calmly.

"Really? Then why did Wu Xiaomei prepare the rope and chain utility knife? Is that prepared for you?"

Liu Jie was stunned for a moment and raised his head, and some pictures flashed past Liu Jie's eyes.

He had seen both ropes and chains. At that time, he thought they were brought by the old lady, but he did not expect that Wu Xiaomei actually bought them.

Why did she buy these things?

Is this a crime?

"Prepared for me? Why are you prepared for me?" Liu Jie asked.

"Why else would a girl buy these things? Have you wanted to kill Sanyu for a long time?"

Zhao Shanhe looked directly into Liu Jie's eyes, eager to find what he wanted in Liu Jie's eyes.

That kind of thing is called fear, it's called fear, it's called avoidance.

"No, I have never had such an idea, not to mention that I will not help Wu Xiaomei kill anyone." Liu Jie denied it, even showing a self-deprecating smile.

Zhao Shanhe miscalculated and did not find what he wanted.

"That's strange. You should ask her carefully what she prepared those things for. One more thing is that Wu Xiaomei's flower shop was smashed by Xiaoma. We are currently looking for him. If you go to the hospital

If so, please convey it to us." Zhao Shanhe quickly changed the topic.

"okay, I get it."

"Okay, please, if anything happens, please contact us at any time. Come on, your friend is waiting for you outside."

friend?

What friend?

Could it be Jiang Xiaoyu?

When Liu Jie walked out of the police station with doubts, he found that the person who came was not Jiang Xiaoyu, but Zhao Bin.

He didn't expect that the person who came to pick him up when he was at his lowest was actually Zhao Bin, whom he loved to tease in the past.

It's really sad to think about it.

"Get in the car." Zhao Bin waved his hand and said.

Liu Jie hesitated and opened the car door and got in.

Zhao Bin turned the steering wheel and quickly left the police station.

"Have a cigarette, I've already taken care of your affairs for you." Xie Bin said and threw the cigarette over.

Liu Jie took the cigarette and lit one.

"Although I don't know what you did, I still want to thank you." Liu Jie said with a smile.

"Do you think just saying thank you is enough? Don't you want to work in our funeral home? I've already done it for you. I'm currently recruiting drivers. The monthly salary of 8,000 yuan does not include benefits, and you can also live broadcast while driving. Compared with

Wouldn't it be more of a gimmick to drive a hearse in your shabby neighborhood? I'm not afraid of your laughter. I even sold out my lust for this job, and it was not easy to get rid of our director."

After Zhao Bin finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Auntie has come to see me several times. She also hopes that you can have a legitimate job. After all, the live broadcast is not reliable, and there are so many things happening in your community, she is already scared.

Yes, she told me today that there is a ghost in your house. I think she is really worried about you, so I hope you will consider it carefully."

"My mother is here?"

"Yes, I am taking care of Wu Xiaomei in the hospital. Brother, I am not telling you. There is no grass anywhere in the world. Why would you hang yourself on a tree? What's more, she is still that kind of person."

"That kind of person? What kind of person?"

"Are you sure you want me to say it?"

Zhao Bin hesitated to speak, but Liu Jie knew what he wanted to say. It seemed that everyone in the world had a prejudice against Wu Xiaomei.

Some people said she was crazy, some said she was possessed by a ghost, and some said she had a brain problem.

Of course, the most unpleasant thing to hear is undoubtedly the mistress.

In short, there is not a good word.

"The relationship between me and her is not as complicated as you think. She is just my boss, nothing more." Liu Jie blew out a smoke ring and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, stop acting, we are brothers and I don't know you yet? Do you know what everyone says about her? Have you seen those photos?"

"How to say?"

Zhao Bin twitched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath and said: "Xiao San'er, cheated on her brother-in-law and ruined her sister's family. Do you know why she stayed in Jiangbei? Isn't it just to wait for her brother-in-law? To put it nicely, this is called affection.

To put it bluntly, this is shameless. She doesn’t have you in her heart at all. Why should you take the risk for her? I already know about Sanyu. Although she is dead, she still has a son and daughter. Are they?

I will let Wu Xiaomei go. Since you are not a couple, why do you need to be caught in the middle and be taken advantage of? Listen to my advice and quit your job."

Liu Jie did not answer but took a long puff of cigarette.

If it was before, he could indeed get away, but now he probably can't.

He killed someone, and his handle was in Wu Xiaomei's hand. They are now like grasshoppers on a rope, and neither one can live without the other.

"Look, if you still don't admit it, forget it. I've said what you need to say. It's up to you what you want to do. I've reserved a seat for you to welcome you at any time."

Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the hospital. Zhao Bin turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road: "Brother, I won't get in. I will say one last thing, stay away from her. Really, I won't hurt you."

"Thanks."

Zhao Bin stopped talking and shook his head in disappointment, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Watching Zhao Bin's retreating figure, Liu Jie remained silent. In the past, he might have cared about Wu Xiaomei's identity as her mistress. After all, he had fantasies about Wu Xiaomei.

But after what happened yesterday, their relationship has changed, and he no longer has any ideas. Now he only hopes that Wu Xiaomei can withstand the pressure and let him earn enough for his mother's pension before going in.

The rest is no longer important.

It doesn't matter that Wu Xiaomei is the mistress, he is still a murderer.

Liu Jie took a deep breath and strode into the hospital.

Soon Liu Jie arrived at the door of Wu Xiaomei's ward, and as soon as he opened the door a crack, he heard his mother's voice.

"Meimei, tell me the truth, are the things posted on the Internet true? Auntie knows that there are some things I shouldn't say, but I have to ask clearly, after all..."

"it is true."

Wu Xiaomei took the initiative to admit it without waiting for Liu's mother to finish.

"So the reason why you stayed in Jiangbei is to wait for your brother-in-law, right?"

"yes."

"You...you kid, how could you do this? I can understand that you have made mistakes before, but since you haven't gotten over your last relationship, why would you deceive Liu Jie? Aren't you playing with his feelings?"

Mother Liu was angry.

When Zhao Bin told her about Wu Xiaomei, she still didn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaomei actually admitted it herself.

Liu Jie stopped moving outside the door. Although he had known the truth for a long time, what he heard now made him feel as sick as if he had swallowed a fly alive.

But then he thought again and laughed again.

What right does he have to be angry?
