Chapter 379: The Trap Set for Her
To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao still hasn’t figured out what happened that day.
She chased him into an alley, drew her pistol, and told him to stop.
The man turned around and seemed to mutter, "You are such a trouble."
He pulled the hat off his head.
When she saw the face clearly, she felt terrible. It was Captain Zhai.
She and Qi Lei discussed this privately, and they both believed that Zhai's dismissal was intentional, and that he was most likely an undercover agent sent by the police.
"Why you?" she blurted out.
"Why can't it be me?" Captain Zhai actually smiled. "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Did you kill Lin Jie?"
"Guess, aren't you good at guessing?" The smile on Captain Zhai's face became more and more weird.
Captain Zhai's expression and what he said were beyond Su Xiaoxiao's expectations.
"Captain Zhai, I don't want to guess. I want you to tell me this in person." Su Xiaoxiao looked serious.
"Su Xiaoxiao, do you believe me?" Captain Zhai's expression became serious. "If I tell you that I didn't kill Lin Jie, would you believe it?"
"I believe it." Su Xiaoxiao lowered the gun.
"Don't trust others so easily next time." Captain Zhai looked at her with a complicated expression.
Then, she was shot.
The shot was not fired by Captain Zhai.
Captain Zhai was within her sight, and she would definitely be able to react immediately if there was any unusual movement, but the shot came from behind, and she had no time to react at all.
When she fell down, she heard Captain Zhai say something.
"Su Xiaoxiao, people who are too smart don't live long."
Then another person came over and looked down at her. She tried hard to see who that person was, but everything was blurry.
"Does it have to be this way?!"
This sentence was said by Captain Zhai, but the man did not answer.
After that, her consciousness began to blur and she knew nothing.
What Su Xiaoxiao didn't tell Qi Lei was that the last thing she did was to put the life-extending pill into her mouth.
By then she had understood why the system gave her the reward in advance without waiting for her to catch the murderer.
It turned out that it had foreseen that she would be in danger during the capture process.
Fortunately, the small pill melted in her mouth, otherwise she would not have been able to swallow it.
She knew that she was able to survive, of course, thanks to Dr. Li's superb medical skills, but the premise was that this pill gave her a glimmer of hope and allowed her to hold on until the operation.
After all, her fat guy saved her life, so she won't be angry with it anymore.
After listening to Su Xiaoxiao's narration, Qi Lei was silent for a long time. Now he was not sure whether his and Su Xiaoxiao's judgment was correct.
Although Captain Zhai did not personally take action against Su Xiaoxiao, it was obvious that Lin Jie's trap was set against Su Xiaoxiao.
So far in their investigation of Zeng Ni's case, they have arrested many people, including the Zhong father and son, Tian Jiajia, Hu Buwei, and the last one left is Lin Jie.
Someone must have guessed that they would find Lin Jie, and then set up this trap.
The murderer actually had a chance to escape, but he didn't. He just waited there.
The window was deliberately opened to tell them that the murderer escaped through the window.
When they looked down, he deliberately revealed himself so that they could see him.
The only one who could catch up with him in the first place was Su Xiaoxiao because she ran the fastest.
The team members didn't know that she was good at Qinggong, but they all knew that she was fast.
Therefore, the person who could make the plan could only be someone who understands Su Xiaoxiao.
And this person, it seems, is Captain Zhai.
That's why he took the initiative to show his face after Su Xiaoxiao caught up with him.
Then, he talked to Su Xiaoxiao to distract her, and then his accomplice fired a fatal shot at Su Xiaoxiao.
He couldn't be sure whether Captain Zhai had killed Lin Jie, because no one had seen him do it in person.
But the person who set up the killing plan for Su Xiaoxiao must be Captain Zhai, there is no doubt about that.
Regardless of whether their speculation that Captain Zhai was an undercover agent was correct or not, Qi Lei wanted to know why they wanted to attack Su Xiaoxiao? !
He now has a guess.
Lin Jie is the murderer of Zeng Ni, but he is much more than just a murderer.
Originally, the murder case of Zeng Ni would have been over when they tracked down Lin Jie.
At this time, someone killed Lin Jie, and the only possibility was that he was killed to silence him.
That means that Zeng Ni’s death may not be as simple as hiring a killer, or it may not be that Zeng Ni’s death is complicated, but that Lin Jie’s identity is complicated.
They caught Lin Jie, and with Su Xiaoxiao's intelligence, it is very likely that she could find out other things through Lin Jie.
Lin Jie and the others must be eliminated, but Su Xiaoxiao cannot be kept either, because she may soon find out the real reason why Lin Jie was killed.
By getting rid of the hidden danger of Su Xiaoxiao and preventing them from investigating further, we can also plug all the loopholes while they are busy these days.
Although this situation failed to actually kill Su Xiaoxiao, it did give the opponent time to clean up the mess.
Su Xiaoxiao had been in a coma for more than ten days, but they did not stop the investigation. Everyone was determined to find the murderer who hurt Su Xiaoxiao.
But no one would think of Captain Zhai.
More than ten days, enough time for him to run anywhere.
Qi Lei had a hunch that even if they issued a wanted order now, they might not be able to find Zhai Yongsheng.
Su Xiaoxiao also thought of what Qi Lei thought of.
Although she had not been awake for long, her mind had not stopped thinking.
In addition to what Qi Lei thought of, she also thought of a possibility, but she still needed to verify it.
But Qi Lei doesn't let her do anything now. She can only do one thing now, and that is to take good care of her body.
Not only that, Qi Lei also asked Xiao Yu to supervise her.
Xiao Yu is actually very busy at work. He is currently the head of the serious crime team of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team.
This position as team leader was not obtained through connections, but through real hard work.
After he was transferred to the imperial capital, he solved a murder case that had been dormant for many years, and then he solved several cases in succession.
It just so happened that the original team leader had been transferred, so the captain let him take over the position. He was the youngest team leader in the history of their imperial capital.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing as she listened to Xiao Yu telling her about things in the imperial capital with great excitement.
Xiao Yu is different now. He is more mature, stable and confident.
Perhaps only in front of her would he reveal his childish side.
The sun was shining brightly today, and Xiao Yu enthusiastically pushed her around in the yard. He had asked for leave from the team.
He told the captain that his senior sister was injured and hospitalized.
The captain had heard of his senior sister's name a long time ago, and if he had been able to leave, he would have wanted to come and see her.
He wanted to see what kind of senior sister could teach his junior fellow student so well, and he also wanted to learn from her.
There were a lot of people in the yard, including patients in hospital gowns, medical staff in white coats, and some family members of patients who came to visit.
It's the beginning of winter, and sunshine is extremely rare. What's even rarer is that there is no wind today.
The sunshine feels warm on our bodies and makes us happy.
There was also a man in front of them, pushing a wheelchair and walking slowly. A middle-aged woman was sitting in the wheelchair. They looked like a mother and son.
Hearing the laughter behind him, the man glanced sideways at them and then turned away.
In the imperial capital, she didn't know anyone except Xiaoyu and Xiangnan, but for some reason, this man made her feel familiar.
