Chapter 162 Thief-Watch

The fourth thief
Thirteen watches

The decorative ceiling lights in the restaurant were not turned on, and all the light came from the kitchen.

There was only a plate of fried rice and a pair of chopsticks on the table. A faint aroma wafted from the fried rice, swaying from side to side with the air currents.

Jiang Mo sat beside the dining table and was so hungry that stars appeared in his eyes.She stared at the plate of fried rice for a long time, then raised her head and peeked at Shao Jie who was focusing on the salty meaty soup. She walked into the kitchen with her slippers on, and tiptoed into the chopstick holder to take out a spoon. , quietly reached to the edge of the egg fried rice, adjusted his posture and took out a big mouthful, stuffed it into his mouth, hissed, chewed it for a long time, and then moved it to Shao Jie without any incident. Behind him, he rested his butt on the edge of the sink with his elbows in his arms: "Why don't you follow and take a few bites?"

The wok that had just been rinsed was still standing in the sink. Jiang Mo rubbed the foam of cold water on his pants, tilted his head and stretched his neck indifferently, and glanced at the fragrant soup pot: "What kind of meat? It smells pretty good.”

"Zhou Nanyi and I had a meal, and we were watching the game while eating snacks while waiting for you to get off work. I'm not hungry."

Shao Jie put down the soup plate, turned around and pushed aside Jiang Mo, who was a little in the way. He picked up a bunch of coriander and bent down to rub it in water: "Pig heart, added with lotus seeds, gordon, jujube and so on... to calm the nerves. I bought it." It’s a bit much. The owner of the market that sells pig hearts only sells them whole. Can you eat it? If not, there is lean meat for Eden. Oh, yes, there is also coriander. Can you put coriander in the soup? "

"Eat. Eat everything. Unlike that little one, I'm not picky about food."

Jiang Mo followed Shao Jie and wandered from the left side of the kitchen to the front of the refrigerator. After a few steps, he couldn't catch up with her. He said flatteringly that she would do the washing and cleaning up later, turned around and hid out of the kitchen. At the door, he dragged a dining chair and sat down cross-legged.

Shao Jie had no intention of arguing with her at all. He turned his back to Officer Jiang who was clearly looking regretful and smiled silently. He took the soup bowl and sat down at the corner of the dining table, almost half an arm's length away from Jiang Mo. Next, he pursed his lips and slowly took off his apron. He raised his eyelids and caught Jiang Mo's gaze. He smiled again and said before she could utter a few polite words of alienation: "I'm fine. I'm sorry." Yes. It’s just that Eden was really frightened by the noise of the car accident. He had a slight fever after going back to sleep, but it was fine after drinking some hot soup and sweating a little. He played wildly in the living room for two hours at night, You saw it just now and slept well."

Shao Jie scraped his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Mo's cheeks stuffed with fried rice and frowned, paused for half a second, and said softly: "We basically didn't see anything in the car, we just got out of the car. Then I smelled a bit of blood..."

Jiang Mo pinched the handle of the spoon and rubbed it twice with his thumb. He chewed the fried rice and smiled vaguely: "I'm sorry, it's really my fault. I didn't expect that Ma Xuhong would have a lot more things than expected... I would have known better." You should be allowed to go home directly, otherwise you wouldn’t encounter this bunch..."

Shao Jie heard Jiang Mo's regretful complaints coyly hidden in his throat. He blinked and didn't rush to talk.

He vaguely felt that a little bit of almost imperceptible frustration and softness had inadvertently flowed out of Officer Jiang's always business-like emotional state.Shao Jie crossed his arms and stared at Jiang Mo's hair hanging on his cheeks. His fingertips against the table hesitantly scratched twice, "The suspect suddenly died in a car accident...isn't that okay?" Troublesome?" "He died due to accidental escape while being escorted. Not giving him a warning is already a sign of mercy from the superiors. He will definitely not be able to escape after being put through a few checks." Jiang Mo was eating rice in a hurry, and almost rolled his eyes as he choked. Taking a sip from the soup bowl, he almost didn't notice Shao Jie's probing words. But in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly remembered the mess at the car accident scene, "In the afternoon, I was busy working on Ma Xuhong's lawsuit... There was no such thing. I was so concerned about you that I almost forgot, did you come to the police station to check on you?"

"The cordon at the scene was stretched far away. When I got out, I was stopped by that... that's the old police officer who was talking to you." Shao Jie thought about it for a moment: "Basically, that's it. When I asked what I saw at the scene, I didn’t say anything else.”

"Officer Zhang?" Jiang Mo's head hurt when he heard these three words, and his whole face twisted subtly for a moment, "What exactly did he ask?"

"First, he confirmed with me about assisting you in arresting the fugitives, and then what he saw before and after the car accident. Later, Eden felt a little uncomfortable, so Officer Zhang and another officer from the police station let us go. It's just that If you have any other questions, please contact me." Shao Jie looked at Jiang Mo's slightly solemn expression and thought for a moment: "But... there is something a little weird... that Officer Zhang has been trying to ask me to explain in detail. Recalling what I talked about with Ma Xuhong, I also said...it's best to tell him verbatim."

"Why is he asking this?" Jiang Mo didn't think too much at first and snorted: "What else can we do to delay the time and talk nonsense... I guess he is thinking about starting from you and finding trouble to excuse himself."

Shao Jie curled his lips and nodded, frowning aggrievedly: "I told him too, just to talk about some game matters. He insisted on me explaining in detail, but when I told him the truth, he didn't understand. Let me be honest and stop being naughty..."

Jiang Mo put down the soup bowl and picked up the fried rice. He raised his eyelids and caught a glimpse of Shao Jie's aggrieved expression. He moved a hand funnyly and rubbed the top of his hair, which was not very delicate and fluffy, twice. It was probably an inch of effort. He touched the injured area on his shoulder where the stitches had been removed, and moved his arm numbly, "Ma Xuhong died so suddenly, and I waited until he died to find out that this guy had left a lot of mess behind him, so he was afraid of missing clues. But Officer Zhang A little afraid of taking responsibility, eager for quick success and instant benefits, but failing to achieve success, I want to think first——"

Before Jiang Mo finished speaking, her heart suddenly trembled. She turned her head and stared so hard that Shao Jie touched the tip of his nose unconsciously. Her voice changed in confusion: "Did you lie to Zhang?"

"No...it doesn't count, right?" Shao Jie glanced at Jiang Mo's serious gaze from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously straightened his posture, straightening his body that had been bent for a long time, barely stumbling: "Most of it was truthfully explained, and When we were chatting... I... I didn't pay much attention. It was only when Officer Zhang asked me to explain the situation in detail that I felt something was wrong... But I saw that he seemed to have some differences with you - I just thought, If something really happens, I have to come back and ask you first..."

Jiang Mo caught a glimpse of Shao Jie's tense body movements. She was stunned for half a second before she realized what was happening. Most likely, it was because of her stinky habit of carrying a sullen face with her into the interrogation room. She cleared her throat. , thought about it for a while, and blinked as calmly as possible: "I don't eat people, so why am I always nervous... What does something that you feel is not right about?"

"When I was chatting with Ma Xuhong, I saw a watch in his hand."

Shao Jie nodded firmly, raised his fingers and tapped the table twice: "Although I only glanced at it a few times, judging from the style, it should be a tourbillon men's watch from Constantin. Even if it is not a top-notch luxury customization, its market value is about It’s around 100 million.”
