The Rest of My Life

I immediately straightened up and took a pose of listening.

However, Tao Zhizhou smiled and said, "Miss Su, you should go eat first. I'll have a chat with you later."

I thought for a while, he and Shen Zixian probably also want to go eat, so I agreed.

Then, I thought of something and called out to him. "Tao Dui, tell me to read it as well."

It's kind of awkward for me to keep calling her Miss Su.

Tao Zhizhou smiled and nodded.

On the other hand, Shen Zixian glared at me fiercely.

I don't know why.

He sneered, "You're already engaged."

With that, he dragged Tao Zhizhou away.

It took me a moment to understand what he meant. Did he think I was playing Tao Zhizhou?

But I just got Tao Zhizhou to change his name...

I was a little dazed. If I didn't know what kind of virtue he had, I would have given in to the impulse to break off all ties with him.

Originally, he was still a bit affected, but when I opened the thermos and saw the dishes inside, my anger completely evaporated.

The dishes inside were all things that I loved to eat. Moreover, one could tell that they were all the handiwork of Aunt Ning.

I was ecstatic, thinking of little Rui Rui. I quickly took a picture of the food and sent it to Zhou Xun. Pictures]

Zhou Xun replied quickly, "Yes." Pictures]

Just a single word, yet it really did have his style.

I couldn't help but smile. I clicked on the picture he sent me and saw that it was of little Rui Rui eating vegetables.

His mouth was full, his cheeks puffed up, and he looked lovely.

I laughed softly.

Rui was so cured, I suddenly started to miss him.

Of course, he also wanted to see the man who took his picture …

After dinner, I knocked on Tao Zhizhou's office door.

He was in the middle of a conversation with Shen Zixian, and when he saw me enter, the two of them tacitly stopped talking.

I said, "Captain Tao, I would like to ask about Wu Mei's case."

Tao Zhizhou said, "Take a seat."

Shen Zixian looked at me but had no intention of leaving.

Tao Zhizhou didn't let him out either.

Maybe it was because he was involved in the case, but I didn't care and waited for Tao to continue.

Tao Zhizhou handed me a folder and said, "It's all inside."

I took it from him and was stunned when I saw the words' Closing Report 'written on the bag.

Had the murderer been caught?

I didn't open it, but kept my eyes fixed on Tao Zhizhou.

Tao Zhizhou lightly tapped the table with his finger, "The murderer has indeed been put on the table. To be exact, the murderer has already died."

I frowned.

The previous case had been complicated and the task force had been investigating for a long time without any leads, but why did they suddenly find the culprit? And why was the culprit dead?

Tao Zhizhou did not keep her in suspense and continued, "She was killed by the mercenaries, but they were originally not targeting her. She was only killed when she ran into them." "When we went to arrest the mercenaries, it just so happened that those people were dealing in drugs and the local special forces were watching them. When we went to arrest them, most of them died, and the person who killed Wu Mei also died on the spot."

When I finished, I didn't say anything for a while.

So in the end, Wu Mei was implicated by the innocent?

But I don't think it's that simple.

Wu Mei was just a commoner. How could she have coincidentally run into a mercenary?

And I remember that after Wu Mei was fired by my grandfather, she never showed up for dozens of years. Coincidentally, she was killed when she entered the city?

This was too unreasonable.

I suddenly remembered that last night, Xun told me that he went to the mall because he was chasing after the mercenary leader's son.

Wouldn't that … Actually, Zhou Xun was the target of the mercenaries' pursuit, and Wu Mei had accidentally run into him?

No, that doesn't make sense.

Wu Mei was not killed in the shopping mall, so the first scene was in a suburb some distance away from the flower shop.

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

However, I couldn't tell Tao Zhizhou about these thoughts. After all, it involved Zhou Xun and the assassination of Uncle Zhou.

But... Closing the case in such a hurry...

I think Wu Mei is not willing to give up knowing it.

After hesitating for a moment, I asked tentatively, "Tao Dui, do you also approve of this report?"

Tao Zhizhou said, "It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. What matters is what the evidence says." He gave me a thoughtful look. "Do you have any other ideas?"

I thought for a while and told Wu Mei about the doubts she had about coming to the Flower Landing for the first time in decades. In the end, I said, "I don't believe that there's such a coincidence."

Tao Zhizhou and Shen Zixian looked at each other.

Shen Zixian said: "You mean, this case still needs to be investigated further? "Then tell me how and where to look."

Of course, I couldn't say it out loud. After holding it in for a long time, I said, "It's just my intuition …"

Shen Zixian laughed and interrupted me. "If all the staff members rely on their instincts, I'm sure that the world is full of cases of wrongdoing."

I fell silent.

Although he was extremely venomous, his words were not without reason.

How could he rely on intuition to handle a case? Of course, he had to trust the evidence.

Tao Zhizhou saw that my expression was awkward, so he smiled to ease the atmosphere and said: "Alright, reciting her is just a way to raise your own point of view, Zixu you don't have to be serious, we are also discussing this."

I smiled at him and thanked him for his help.

Shen Zisheng coldly snorted, and did not continue targeting me.

I got up and said goodbye.

As I walked to the door, I remembered something. I turned around and said, "Tao Dui, Wu Mei's case has nothing to do with my grandfather and mother, is it?"

Tao Zhizhou nodded and said, "All the evidence indicates that she was only accidentally killed. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

I thanked him and went out.

But I had a strange feeling.

Twice the task force came to my house to search for my mother's things, but they came to an irrelevant conclusion.

This was nothing to begin with. After all, there would always be a time when a case would be handled incorrectly.

But I had a feeling that Wu Mei's death might have something to do with my mother jumping off a building.

And it was because of Wu Mei that I knew my mother was adopted...

I've been thinking about it all afternoon.

Fortunately, Shen Zixian only arranged for me to look at the documents and didn't ask me to interfere with the forensic evaluation, so there wasn't anything wrong with it.

I was still thinking about the Wu Mei case when I got off work.

After leaving the city police station in such a muddleheaded manner, I thought Zhou An was waiting for me, but instead, I saw little Rui Rui leaning against the window, smiling and waving at me.

I immediately became spirited. I immediately stopped thinking and jogged all the way to the car. I exclaimed, "Rui Rui!"

Little Rui was also especially happy, calling me sweetly, "Little Aunt ~"

Smiling, I opened the car door and bumped into Zhou Xun's dark eyes.

He held Rui and just looked at me.

I had already guessed that he was in the car. After all, Rui Rui had gone to work with him.

Of course I was excited and sweet about him coming to pick me up. It's just that his eyes are so focused that they make me uncomfortable.

I bit my lips and whispered, "Uncle Zhou."

He grunted and looked away.

I was relieved.

Rui took the opportunity to throw himself into my arms.

I hugged him tightly and smiled as I touched his face. "Is it fun to work with uncle today?"

Little Rui sat on my lap obediently and shook her head. Fun... "There's a beautiful auntie who gave me cake cake to eat."

Pretty aunt?

I stole a glance at Zhou Xun.

He sat there as if he hadn't heard Rui Rui's words.

Me: "…"

The more suspicious it was, the more suspicious it became.

However, I didn't seem to be in a position to directly ask him who the beautiful auntie that little Rui Rui spoke of was.
