Chapter 463: Accomplice - Turning Back (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
Ninety-seven Turns (Part 1)
At 00:33 in the morning, Shao Jie gently patted Zhou Nanyi, who was sleeping soundly and mumbling to himself, wrapped in the limited edition down jacket that Jiang Mo had specially asked someone to buy for him as a gift for him. He lowered his head and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, which said "Wait two more minutes" by Teacher Jiang, then put his arms across his chest and let out a long, suppressed sigh.

The weather forecast said that there was a confluence of cold and warm air, but the sudden rain did not come. The cool breeze that was almost coming to early summer was blowing bitterly. The brave Daju who had been strolling around the park late at night a few days ago had already strolled back to the DRG base, knowing whether it was hot or cold, and huddled together with Zhou Nan on the guest sofa in the lobby on the first floor.

The hot search term "live broadcast of murder" has jumped to the top of the local hot search list. The suspected deliberate speculation and prayers for the safety of the victims are scattered among the overwhelming abuse and accusations against Sheng'an police. Shao Jie looked through the list with his mobile phone and frowned. He exited the list and scrolled to the bottom of the hot search list. His thumb hesitated over the entry of "Sheng'an City Inspection" and finally tapped it lightly and slipped silently into the live broadcast room of the city's official media, which had the entry pinned to the top and muted.

Shao Jie didn't turn on the sound. He just stared at the blurry silhouettes of the police on duty and the checkpoints set up at some intersection on the live screen. He didn't stop until Jiang He dragged the drunk Zhou Huaiyu to the sofa and snapped his fingers in front of him. Then he raised his head and focused his eyes on Jiang He's face, which was neither laughing nor crying. He supported the back of Zhou Nanyi's head, which was resting on his legs, and stood up awkwardly. Before he could finish his nod and say hello, he quickly followed Jiang He's drooping line of sight and flipped over his phone, which hadn't been turned off in time: "... I... just took a look."

Jiang He first picked up Zhou Nan, who was sleeping soundly and seemed about to wake up, and patted him twice hastily before handing him to Zhou Huaiyu. He turned around and motioned to the slightly tipsy Mr. Zhou to fasten the little boy's hat and send him to the car to continue sleeping. He turned around and stroked the big orange boy's fat head twice, smiling slyly and lightly with his eyebrows curved.

"It's not like he did anything to let Jiang Mo down behind her back. Zhou Nanyi didn't need to accompany you to sleep at night, but who would have thought that he would pick on you and act like a spoiled child when he was with you... And I have to trouble you to accompany him until now. Didn't it delay his training?"

Shao Jie waved his hands in panic, scratched the stubble on his head with a bit of self-blame, picked up the attack on the event site that he had reported and reviewed in the message earlier, and sighed in regret: "Eden might have been scared by the injury of Officer Jiang during the day... This is really my fault. I didn't expect that someone would sneak into the school event and cause a mess. Officer Jiang was also injured--"

"You know Jiang Mo's temper well. Whenever he encounters any unexpected situation, his fists will come first before his brains. Besides, you said that she happened to see him while investigating a case. Zhou Nanyi is not as fragile as you think. If we really want to count, the culprits are still me and Zhou Huaiyu... If we were not busy with work, we would not have caused you so much trouble..."

Jiang He interrupted Shao Jie's "confession", raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath helplessly, and pointed his finger at the phone on the sofa, which was still on, and said, "I happened to be driving by the live broadcast inspection checkpoint, so the time originally agreed to hand over Zhou Nanyi was postponed again and again."

Shao Jie looked up upon hearing this, his eyes wide open as if they contained thousands of words of concern, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not dare to ask more. Jiang He laughed at his tangled expression, and patted his drooping shoulders, "Wang Jiahao, have you heard Jiang Mo mention her? Her classmate is in this spot for the inspection. When she saw me, she was probably afraid that I would get nervous, and it was not convenient to disclose anything about the mission, so she mentioned it to me, saying that Jiang Mo had just been arguing with her master in the public channel for the whole group, and told me to put my mind at ease."

Shao Jie was stunned at first, his brain slowly turned for two circles before he realized that Jiang He's words were meant to enlighten him. He frowned shyly and apologetically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang... I'm just a little worried, and I don't know... Officer Jiang was still injured when we separated in the afternoon, and she--" "She gave you a shot in advance, saying that if she dies gloriously one day, you should be prepared to 'remarry'?"

Putting aside the old saying that "no one knows a daughter better than her mother", ever since Jiang Mo joined the police force, this troublemaker in Jiang He's family has written no less than ten suicide notes to her. Jiang He basically understands Jiang Mo's obvious little calculations - on the surface, it seems like a risk-taking showdown, but deep down, he is actually testing her. Whenever the person he has his true love for wavers a little, Jiang Mo will step away without hesitation, and then start a long process of assessment and judgment again to see if this person is worthy of being his unscrupulous backup or supporter.

Shao Jie raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after a few seconds he lowered his head with a wry smile: "Did she mention this to her previous - friend? I thought she just didn't believe me..."

"As far as I know, you should be the first one. But Jiang Mo did say something similar to me. She said that she had to be nicer to Zhou Nanyi, so that the burden of supporting me in my old age would not have to be borne by that little guy alone."

"As for whether she believes what she told you or not, I can't be so mean as to interfere—" Jiang He raised her eyebrows and looked at the young girl in front of her, whom she actually didn't think very highly of at the beginning. She raised her hand and gently scratched her eyebrows, left a word of advice, turned around and walked out of the base door, stood at the edge of the stairs, and suddenly turned around.

"Your Uncle Zhou and I have almost finished tidying up the house. When she finishes this case, I'll go have a meal with Jiang Mo someday when I have time... Your Uncle Zhou has two private dishes that Jiang Mo particularly likes."

Shao Jie waved his hand in the direction Jiang He left in confusion, then walked to the door of the training room in a daze and uttered something belatedly. However, before his ears could blush with joy, he turned his head and heard Xu Muyang in the training room across the door shouting "Ah" and throwing his phone against the door. Wen Xi and Cheng Zi, who had just played a game in a duo row, were so scared that they jumped up from their gaming chairs, clattered to the door and picked up Manager Xu's phone that almost died heroically. They put their unwashed heads, which were scratched and messed up after being sprayed with hairspray, against each other, stared at the bloody scene on the screen, and threw the hot phone into Shao Jie's hand who pushed the door open.

"Oh shit... I thought the trending search was just for scare people - how can this be serious?!"
