Hegel's Confession Volume 1 Chapter 33

"Then we have to act quickly, or he will run away," Xiao Teng said as he stood up. He quickly sorted out the doc.u.ments on the table.

It was already evening and the gloomy day was completely dark. The wind blew through the window, and the sky finally rained. The sultry air instantly became cool, and something suddenly came into my mind. "Xiao Teng, was the night Qiu Nan was killed also a rainy night?"

"Yes! There has been a lot of rain this month. What should we do? It was raining in the dark." Xiao Teng groaned and looked outside to hesitate.

"What can we do? It has been four days since Qiu Nan was killed. We must act quickly. The longer we wait, the worse it is for us." I licked my lips and found two umbrellas, and then signaled him to remember the address and got ready to set off.

Xiao Teng was still guessing when we went outside. Will Jiang Xiaoqiang be the murderer? However, he also thought that Jiang Xiaoqiang was not the murderer. If Jiang Xiaoqiang was really the murderer, what was his motivation for the crime?

"Thoughts are useless now. When we see him, we will figure it out. Whether he is a murderer or not, he is a suspect indeed and the transcript he gave us was a lie."

Hearing my words, Xiao Teng nodded hard. We had come to the yard by this time.

The rain outside was getting lighter and lighter, but it never stopped. As the car galloped on the road, I called Chu Haoran to ask him about the situation there. Normally it should not take so long. Was there a sudden situation?

Soon Chu Haoran related that Su Da came back shortly after he went outside. He had just come from the home of Su Dahai. Nevertheless, he did not get any useful clues. Su Dahai even did not know what Qiu Nan had in her drawer.

I told him about our discovery here, and then he said that he would also go to the residence of Jiang Xiaoqiang and that we could meet there.

Xiao Teng couldn't help but ask, "What? Is there any progress?"

I shook my head and said, "It seems that Su Hai is just playing with Qiu Nan. He is willing to spend money for her, but there is no love between them. Qiu Nan does not love him, either."

"Normally, that's it. But is there any problem?" Xiao Teng didn't quite understand what I meant.

"I can't say it with certainty, but I think we have overlooked something. Well, you should have a deeper discovery of the call records of Qiu Nan and Jiang Xiaoqiang just to see if they have contacted each other frequently."

Xiao Teng quickly looked at me and said with amazement, "Do you suspect that there is a special relationship between Qiu Nan and Jiang Xiaoqiang?"

"Look at the road. Why are you looking at me? I will rethink it. This is just my guess." I stared at him with anger. Obviously, he was stupid and surprised at this time.

The page in my hand was filled with my handwriting, but there was not much conclusion to be drawn. I thought that after we met Jiang Xiaoqiang, our thoughts would be cleared up, and maybe we could even find a breakthrough. But for some unknown reason, I subconsciously thought that he was not the murderer.

The car stopped at the destination, and it was still raining outside. The raindrops. .h.i.t the car, the ground, and as the water dropped on the ground and splashed again, it seemed almost like a pattern.

"Our leader has already arrived; it seems that he was closer than we were."

Xiao Teng's voice interrupted my thoughts, and I forgot what I just thinking. I looked helplessly the other way and found that Chu Haoran was coming toward us. He didn't have an umbrella and just let the raindrops fall on him. His hair had become wet, but he still walked stridently. If it were Xiao Teng, he would definitely run over to us quickly. . .

The three of us finally found the residence of Jiang Xiaoqiang, which was very close to their cargo station. It was the courier boss who had rented it for their residence. There were four men who lived in this residence, and Jiang Xiaoqiang was the youngest of them.

After the door was opened, we smelled a musty smell. The first floor seemed to be a bit wet. In addition, the room was not big, but four men had lived here, so it was expected to be dirty and messy.

"Who are you?" the man who opened the door asked impatiently.

Xiao Teng held his certificate up and said, "We are the police. Is Jiang Xiaoqiang here or not?”

After knowing our ident.i.ty, the man became very cooperative. He asked us to wait for a while and he would call Jiang Xiaoqiang to come here. I thought my previous intuition was correct. Jiang Xiaoqiang might not really be the murderer. If he was, why did he not run away?

Soon a big boy appeared in our field of vision, and the real person was much more handsome than the one in the photo. He was about 175 centimeters tall, and he looked very clean and elegant. However, he was a little bit nervous. He didn't dare to look at us and his eyes always evaded us.

"Are you Jiang Xiaoqiang?" Xiao Teng said in a low and cold voice.

"Yes, I am. What happened?" Jiang Xiaoqiang whispered, but he never dared to look directly at Xiao Teng.

It was not convenient to talk here and we could only take Jiang Xiaoqiang back to the bureau. Nevertheless, when he returned to the bureau, Chu Haoran was completely wet.

I found a towel and sneezed, and felt a little cold. I suddenly remembered that I still had a fever that morning! Now I felt uncomfortable again.

"You can take some medicine, in case you can't get up tomorrow." Chu Haoran said as he pushed the medicine on the table to me.

I handed the towel over to him. "Wipe your hair and don't wear your wet clothes. Don't make me infected by you. . ." I couldn't help but start sneezing. I cared about him because he had helped me with an umbrella on the way back, and so he was drenched.

Chu Haoran looked at me and immediately took the towel and went to the interrogation room. In the interrogation room, Jiang Xiaoqiang was waiting for us. I took a cup of hot water and followed Chu Haoran and walked into the interrogation room. At the same time, I asked Xiao Teng to export messages such as SMS and WeChat messages of Qiu Nan's mobile phone to find out the relationship between she and Jiang Xiaoqiang.

After entering the interrogation room, Jiang Xiaoqiang stared at us with vigilance. "There is no need for you to be nervous. We just want to ask you something."

Seeing that Chu Haoran and I were both sitting opposite him, Jiang Xiaoqiang frowned subconsciously and asked, "What?"

"Do you know Qiu Nan was killed?" Chu Haoran asked. His voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.

After hearing this inquiry, Jiang Xiaoqiang seemed to be angry. "I have already said that I don't know anything about it," he said testily. "You police can't find the real murderer? What you are doing now is just a waste of time. Do you think that I killed Qiu Nan?"

"Since you also want to find the murderer who killed Qiu Nan, then don't lie to us and waste our time. Let's talk about your relationship with Qiu Nan first," I said in a casual tone to let him think that I already knew everything, which I did not.

 Sure enough, Jiang Xiaoqiang did not dare look us in eyes again. "I've already said it before, that I just usually sent her a courier. We could be considered acquaintances!”
