"I thought you were afraid of going home to avoid meeting your aunt and mother. You were afraid that the aunt in your previous impression was not that good, and that she really hated you as she said. Or were you afraid of another kind of you who was more afraid of you? Unacceptable possibility?”
Shen Mian raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile on his face, but his eyes were so sharp that Qiao Jiaying couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
"I……"
When Shen Mian saw her reaction, she knew that her guess was most likely correct.
For a child, there is nothing unacceptable about having a bad relationship with his family. After all, such a relationship has become a habit. But this is completely different from the fact that his family wants to harm him for some reason.
Shen Mian could see that this incident had a great impact on her.
After all, she sighed. Faced with the other party's state, it was hard to say that she felt that Wang might need to consider the worst possible direction.
So he just stood up, walked to Qiao Jiaying's side, reached out and touched the top of her hair soothingly.
He lowered his head and met Qiao Jiaying's eyes: "What you really care about is the testimony you gave before the police. Although you told the truth, it is very likely that your relatives will be sent to jail, right?"
Qiao Jiaying tried to make excuses for her two remaining relatives, but in the end it would only make herself more miserable. Yu Si fell into some kind of strange cycle.
"They... wouldn't do that." Qiao Jiaying defended in a low voice, looking up at Shen Mian with tears in her eyes.
Are they...?
Shen Mian felt that the girl in front of her knew everything, but she just chose to deceive herself.
"You just told what you know, and you didn't mean to harm anyone. You are not a policeman, so there is no need to guess all the possibilities before drawing a conclusion. No matter what the final result of the police investigation is, What you did was not wrong, you are the real victim and you just have to remember that."
Shen Mian softened her voice a lot.
Even though Qiao Jiaying didn't say much in the conversation just now, she already had a general idea.
Until he comforted the other person a few more words and waited for the other person to calm down. Shen Mian picked up the cell phone that had been in her hand and sent a message to Yin Jinchuan:
Can I talk to Qiao Jiaying's relatives tomorrow after the interview?
She didn't wait long, and after receiving a positive answer from the other party, she sat back at her desk again.
She opened the drawer and rearranged some of the clues she had sorted out on the table. Fingers tapped regularly on the edge of the table.
Previously, Yin Jinchuan's focus had always been on Ms. Qiao's twin sister. After all, the other party could have a motive for committing the crime. Shen Mian suggested that he put this person and Ms. Qiao together to investigate, which was also her idea.
Tomorrow is the time when the police officially ask Ms. Qiao and her sister to go to the police station to take notes on this kidnapping case.
For the first time, Shen Mian hoped that her guess was not so accurate.
…
Early the next morning, Shen Mian rarely got up very early.
For safety and some special reasons, she took Qiao Jiaying with her when she went to the police station, but she did not mention that Ms. Qiao and her sister would be there today.
After arriving, Shen Mian asked Wei Duo to temporarily find a rest room for Qiao Jiaying to wait, and she was led by You Nanxing to the room dedicated to taking notes and questioning. Across a layer of glass, Ms. Qiao's sister Qiao Anran was sitting in her seat, and opposite her was Yin Jinchuan with a serious face.
It was a one-way glass, and Shen Mian understood it as soon as he saw it.
She was a little surprised by this. She never thought that Yin Jinchuan would directly let her hear their conversation.
While thinking this way, she saw You Nanxing pointing at the earphones in front of her, so she naturally put the earphones on her head. At the same time, the conversation in the other room clearly appeared in her ears.
"Officer Yin, I think we have nothing to say about this case, right?" Qiao Anran snorted coldly.
He seemed very disgusted with the repeated questioning by the police.
"I'm not a criminal. It's not appropriate for you to bring me here for interrogation. My niece has been missing for such a long time, and the police have done nothing to find her. Instead, they are now torturing the victim's family to extract confessions. I think I have a reasonable reason to complain to your superiors! It also allows others to see how the police do things now!"
Qiao Anran said this without politeness.
Yin Jinchuan was obviously used to this kind of scene. He ignored the ugly expressions on the faces of his teammates next to him and stared at him coldly.
It wasn't until the other party finished speaking that he spoke slowly: "Madam, I think you have misunderstood something. We asked you to come here today, not to sit here as a family member of the victim."
"What else could it be?" Qiao Anran snorted coldly.
"suspects."
Three words came out lightly.
Qiao Anran's eyes widened, and a special emotion flashed across her eyes quickly. If Shen Mian hadn't been staring at her carefully, it would have been difficult to see the clues.
"Suspect?" She sneered: "Can the police nowadays just slander others with empty words?"
"In fact, we have just received an organized and premeditated collective kidnapping case, and rescued some people, including your niece. It just so happens that among the suspects' confessions, Someone specifically tipped them off that there was a girl who had been near Luna Mountain recently, and that she had no other relatives or friends around her, leading the other party to commit crimes..."
"Wait, why are you telling me this? What does this have to do with me?" Qiao Anran interrupted him impatiently.
"Based on the confessions of the relevant suspects and the portrait drawn by the portrait artist after comparison, that person looks exactly like you." Yin Jinchuan said calmly, handing over the book in his hand.
Qiao Anran, who was leaning on the chair, suddenly turned ugly after seeing the portrait in the book, but his expression was still full of anger:
"What can a picture mean? If the police can really solve the case so easily, if I have a grudge against someone, just don't create a person's information and appearance and say that this is what the other person did. If there is evidence, what else do you police need to do?”
In response to her doubts, Yin Jinchuan remained calm: "So what if it's not just the suspect, but also witnesses of other victims? Or... the surveillance video of that place."
He deliberately accentuated the last few words.
After listening to what he said, Shen Mian suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
In fact, these cases are all related to Gu Henzhi, but what the connection is may not be known until the end, haha.
This article is not very long as planned, and the foreshadowing has almost been buried. It’s time to start the official main plot. I can really delay it...
