Chapter 18 Doubt

"You think too much, this is just a coincidence." After a moment of silence, Han Chen said slowly: "A murderer who wants to fake an accident will continue to use this method after he has been discovered?"

Ji Ling was taken aback, she hadn't expected this.

Han Chen raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's getting late, take a good rest. I will find two informants to watch around you to ensure your safety."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Xing.

If Xu Xing stayed here, he had to stay too.But after all, they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. He followed closely, which would definitely arouse Ji Ling's suspicion.

Knowing what he meant, Xu Xing got up too, and tucked up Ji Ling's quilt: "I'll come see you tomorrow."

Ji Ling nodded, and moved down a little tiredly.

On the way back, the sky was still dark, with the coldness and twilight of the early morning faintly revealing.

It's four o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xing didn't feel sleepy at all.Apart from the gentle pure music flowing quietly in the carriage, there is no other sound.Leaning back on her seat, she glanced at the lights flashing by the side of the road, and suddenly said, "This is not a coincidence at all, is it?"

"Oh?" Han Chen casually pressed the steering wheel with his fingertips: "How do you know that?"

"Because you are not a person who believes in coincidences at all." She turned sideways and looked directly at him: "You can suspect my previous car accident without any basis. Why is it different this time? Do you want her Peace of mind, or...you have already made up your mind?"

"Let me remind you." Han Chen's tone was very flat: "You are not a police officer, and you are not the victim himself. Put away your curiosity and don't meddle in other people's business."

Xu Xing has never been a good-tempered person. Hearing this sentence was not so much a reminder as a warning, he immediately turned cold: "Ji Ling is likely to be implicated by me. I want to know if there is something wrong?"

Han Chen didn't make a sound, just looked ahead indifferently.

Xu Xing turned her face away angrily, the complicated thoughts in her heart made her chest tight.Just when she thought that Han Chen would not say a word, his deep and low voice sounded in the quiet car: "She is not troubled by you."

"Disguising a murder as an accident is not Gao Xuan's way of behavior. Without the iconic killing process, he can't satisfy the perverted desire in his heart. The person who followed you may be him, but your car accident may be just an accident. I'm used to being skeptical of all such incidents."

"Why... do you get used to doubting such events?"

Han Chen turned the steering wheel to the right, and the light from the street lamp cast a shadow on the side of his face, making the whole outline somewhat blurred.After a long time, he said in a cold voice, "Are you still at work today?"

Xu Xing: "...No."

After a pause, she couldn't hold back, turned her head and said, "Officer Han, with all due respect, you change the subject...have you always been so stiff?"

"Because no one dares to be so blank and keep asking me things I don't want to talk about." Han Chen replied lightly.

Xu Xing: "..."

That's really embarrassing, I really didn't wink, Xu Xing secretly rolled his eyes, but in the end he was determined, and changed to a comfortable position, leaning on the seat and squinting.

This night was really thrilling, and after this effort, she felt tired and sleepy all over her body.

When Han Chen parked the car in the underground garage and turned off the engine, he realized that Xu Xing had fallen asleep.

She turned her face sideways, her lips pursed unconsciously, with two strands of hair stuck to her lips.The body moved down slightly, being restrained by the seat belt, and the position was just a little subtle, making the arc very beautiful.

Han Chen turned his face away, opened the car window after a while, and lit a cigarette.

The "click" of the lighter sounded in the silent garage. The sound was not too small. He glanced at Xu Xing, who was sleeping soundly and breathing evenly.

Sounds and smells were all around her, and with her slightly nervous sensitivity, she didn't notice it, which seemed really frightening.

With a cigarette between his fingers, Han Chen lightly pushed it out of the window.As the soot gradually fell, he also vaguely remembered the accident in which the teacher "accidentally" died three years ago.
