Chapter 181 Thief - Forced to Stop

The fourth thief
23 forced stop

At 43:[-] in the morning, the north wind tearing through the night haze faintly stopped wailing, but the stagnant coldness crept into the gaps between the windows and doors, quietly climbing and entangling between the tables, chairs and equipment.

Shao Jie bent down and pinched his big toe, which was cramped by the cold air. He tilted his head and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen. He repeatedly confirmed that he had saved up ten hours of effective live broadcast time, and immediately thanked and said goodbye without any delay. Happy to broadcast a train, turned off the camera with super speed, yawned and stretched out in a long stretch on the gaming chair.

Shao Jie rubbed his dry eyes that were staring at the screen and couldn't open them. He declined the spicy sticks that Wen Xi brought to his mouth with a stool on his face. , and he raked the little AD's head that had exploded in ranking.

"Wealth-spreading boy, how many happy beans do you have left?"

"My merits will soon be immeasurable." Wen Xi raised her head and smacked her fingers: "Do you want to go back, Brother Jie? You just said that the next double queue will help me advance to the competition..."

"No, the water dispenser in the training room is not plugged in. I'll go to the restaurant to get some hot water. Wait for me in a few minutes."

The holiday was not yet over and the crowd was sparse. In the early morning, only the two dim light bulbs at the end were turned on in the corridor of the base.

Shao Jiezhu walked into the corner of the restaurant with his rabbit slippers. When he reached for the switch on the wall, he unconsciously glanced in the direction of the pitch-black dining table. He squinted and traced a black outline, and he felt like he was being tortured by the ghost at the table. The gloomy figure that suddenly flashed was startled.

"Whoa - who?... Manager Xu?" Shao Jie trembled with his long hands and feet, stepped back half a step and stepped on the ears of the rabbit slippers, and hurriedly climbed onto the door frame to stand before tying himself into a tight knot, looking at Looking at her depressed look, she felt bad: "Didn't you... go find Director Liang?"

"Huh? Ah... Shao Jie... haven't you rested yet?" Xu Muyang hunched over his upper body and drooped his head. He didn't want to move and gathered up his hair that was as loose as a female ghost. He clenched his fists energetically and twisted them around. He knocked hard on his numb legs: "I went to his company, and I roughly figured out the reason why he kept letting me go. But when I went there, there were a lot of policemen in their company, downstairs. I didn't see anyone in the cafe until quite late, and we didn't say a few words together - Oh, yes, I also met Officer Jiang. It seemed that Officer Jiang was responsible for the case where Liang Ji's brother lost his car... Probably I heard her say that..."

Jiang Mo's case, which he has been so busy with no one around these days, does seem to involve a missing sports car that caused the accident.

Shao Jie didn't say anything at first, silently watching Xu Muyang's feeling of despair. He was not sure what Xu Muyang meant by this sudden show of weakness under the premise that the two of them were not close, and he casually removed the dust and impurities from the mug. He poured cold water into the money tree flowerpot in the corner of the restaurant, and quietly said, not wanting to get involved, "It's quite late, Manager Xu, go to bed early -"

"Liang Ji told me that his brother's sports car was stolen and a major accident occurred...but I actually don't quite understand whether the investigation into a hit-and-run accident should be about the criminal who stole the car and harmed others at the time of the accident or the suspect. Something like that, right? Why did Officer Jiang and the others hold on to Liang Ji's brother after he was handed over to the criminal police for investigation and takeover? Is it... related to the fact that he didn't call the police when he lost his car? Or is it because of something else? "

Xu Muyang raised his eyes incomprehensibly, holding back Shao Jie's attempt to avoid questioning.She unlocked the phone and turned on the screen. She turned around and handed a news screenshot covered with blurry mosaics to Shao Jie. She pointed at the side face that passed by in the corner but was accidentally photographed. She was inexplicably persistent in wanting to get the picture from Shao Jie. Jie asked for something: "You were at the scene of the car accident, right Shao Jie?"

"..." Shao Jie frowned because of a stomachache, and avoided the sight of Xu Muyang who was trying to judge the right and wrong from his answer.He had no intention of sitting down to answer questions. He just stood there holding a warm mug and looked at Xu Muyang's face with dried tears in consideration. He vaguely felt that she seemed to be a bit incoherent and silent. After thinking for a long time, he spoke in an evasive manner, and said a few words vaguely: "It seems that the person who was killed was on the Internet escape list. The accident was quite serious at the time, and the police at the scene were very nervous. There was a commotion for a long time. , Officer Jiang was also there at that time... I didn’t ask anything else, after all, it was still under investigation. What’s wrong? "

"No...nothing. I wasn't discussing the formal engagement with Liang Ji before. Now that such a situation has arisen, I guess my family will definitely ask about it. After all, engagement and marriage are not a trivial matter. Just...please ask, aren't you talking to Officer Jiang? Very familiar."

Xu Muyang probably noticed Shao Jie's gaze on her face, dodged his eyes and rubbed the makeup on her face that was clearly visible from crying, "It's nothing. Maybe when I dealt with Officer Jiang before, I felt that the detective Those who got involved would be either dead or injured, and I always murmured in my heart - when I accompanied Liang Ji to see Officer Jiang off from the Shengcheng International Building today, I heard the two of them saying a few words and started thinking about it... It was also a coincidence that the accident happened. On the day of the accident, I was discussing with Liang Ji about meeting my parents today, but he answered the phone halfway and said that his brother drank too much and caused trouble and left. The meeting scheduled for today was also given up. Unexpectedly, it only took two days. I didn’t see him causing so much trouble. When Officer Jiang asked him if he knew his brother’s whereabouts at the time of the accident, I felt that this matter was not just a simple accident..."

Xu Muyang's mind was mixed together like a paste, and he was even confused for a while. Whether Officer Jiang's question at that time was to doubt Liang Ming, or to test for something else.

Why are the police so obsessed with Liang Ming, one of the "victims" of the car theft case who seems to have been excluded?Why did Liang Ji, who clearly argued that his brother might cause trouble and left, told Officer Jiang that he could not determine Liang Ming's exact whereabouts at the time of the accident?
If Liang Ji was lying to Xu Muyang, could his deliberate evasion be because she put the engagement on the agenda naturally and unintentionally pushed Liang Ji too hard?

If Liang Ji didn't lie to Xu Muyang, then his explanation to the police showed that he was hiding something unspeakable...

She raised her hand and wiped her sensitive, sore and stiff cheeks that were about to burst. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly: "...It's okay. It's just about Liang Ji's brother. I'll just ask a few questions. I want to make a supper order with Xiao Xi. If so, just send me a screenshot."

The road was too deserted in the middle of the night.The strong wind had thrown up debris all over the sky, and there was no time to clean it up. The messy fireworks, paper, plastic and broken bottles were slipping on the road, flying up in the air from time to time, and then spinning in circles and being rolled under illegally parked cars on the roadside.

Jiang Mo was annoyed to death by the car phone that had been ringing intermittently for more than 5 minutes. He held the steering wheel with one hand and despised himself for not replying such an irrelevant message. In the end, he slowed down the car and slid unbearably. Listen outside.

"Hey, what-"

Jiang Mo had just finished speaking lightly when Fu Xi's suppressed angry voice suddenly surrounded her and made her tremble.

"Are you willing to make your sister die?!"
