Chapter 491 Rose-Confession (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Eight Confessions (Part 1)
Jiang Mo was woken up by Shao Jie's sticky chewing.

Perhaps it was because the scene of the iron-clad Officer Jiang collapsing weakly in his arms for the first time was too lingering in Shao Jie's mind. It seemed that he was always bothered by the scar on Jiang Mo's shoulder. Whenever he glanced at him, his eyes would dim and he would put on a tearful expression, and he would gnaw at him endlessly with an unpredictable mind.

Jiang Mo didn't open his eyes yet. He took out his phone from under the pillow with his head down. He opened his eyelids with difficulty and first glanced at the time which was just half past six in the morning. Then he moved his arms and legs slightly, turned around and pinched Shao Jie's face, who was trying to take advantage of him. He warned him in a hoarse voice with frowned eyebrows: "Be honest!"

However, Jiang Mo was obviously not awake at this moment, and the usually sharp and sharp shouting turned softly in the quilt. Shao Jie, this bastard, read her expression and took advantage of her. He couldn't struggle, so he licked the shallow scar on her palm like a puppy, which made Jiang Mo feel disgusted from the back to the tip of her hair. She threw her hand to avoid it and grabbed his chin: "Hiss - you want to be beaten so early in the morning?"

Shao Jie was unmoved by these empty threats, and his tail was wagging happily. Jiang Mo suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was too late to regret it. In the end, he had no choice but to kick his foot helplessly, propped himself up on the bed, and looked down at Shao Jie who rolled to the ground and sat cross-legged obediently, and he breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings.

Shao Jie was still grinning. He tilted his head and saw Jiang Mo frowning. He immediately crawled to the edge of the bed nervously: "Is there something I did wrong? Tell me, I'll change--"

Jiang Mo said directly, pointing to the mark on his shoulder: "Don't bite."

Shao Jie curled his lips, aggrieved and silent: "..."

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Jiang Mo didn't expect him to pat his chest and correct himself. He waved his hand and pretended to get up. He moved to the edge of the bed and kicked Shao Jie again, "I'm going to change my clothes. Get out."

Shao Jie smiled first, grabbed Jiang Mo's ankle and kissed it, then he "rolled" to the kitchen and swam into the aroma of rice porridge that had been lingering for a long time.

"...What time did you get up?" Jiang Mo was a little grumpy, but not too much. It was just past 6:30 when she got out of bed, brushed her teeth and washed up, and sat at the dining table. She held the bowl of porridge, her mind still not thinking much, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly frowned hesitantly: "You usually sleep late... If I'm in a hurry, I'll go to the team to eat. If I'm not in time, I'll just buy something. You don't have to get up early to cook--"

"I agree. I can't be in the base during busy seasons, so we have to have a meal together in the morning or evening. Besides... doesn't it say that to catch a person, you have to catch her stomach first? Although the interim goal of having police dependents obtain certificates has been achieved... I can't change my original intention~"

Shao Jie chuckled and shook his head, then sat down opposite Jiang Mo with steamed buns and eggs in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mo, who was yawning and rubbing his red eyes: "Didn't you sleep well? If you have enough time after eating, can you sleep for a while? I'll help you keep track of the time."

"It's impossible for me to sleep well." Jiang Mo raised his wrist and tapped the imaginary time: "Stop gloating over other people's misfortunes. Think about what time did you go to bed last night?"

Shao Jie's mouth never drooped, and his smile was a bit provocative, "How about asking for a leave?"

"What a joke! You just started investigating the origin of the blood-stained shirt, and now you're not going to investigate the case anymore?" Jiang Mo glared at him nonchalantly, picked up the egg and knocked it twice on the table before looking up: "You're not allergic to alcohol, are you?" Shao Jie raised his eyebrows, "In fact, after the severe allergy three or four years ago, I asked if I should get desensitization treatment - taking medicine in advance can control it. But... the fruit beer you drank yesterday was the non-alcoholic version that I picked out."

"That's good. I've seen people with severe alcohol allergies before and they may have needed emergency treatment. It's okay as long as you're okay..." Jiang Mo first responded vaguely and said he was relieved. He peeled the egg and handed it to Shao Jie, but suddenly withdrew it: "Wait a minute?! When did you say?"

Shao Jie probably had it planned in advance. He slowly put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and bowed his head straight towards Jiang Mo: "...near the old red building on Lixing Street. The little brat you saved in that allergy-induced alcohol allergy who had a swollen head like a pig and almost died in that allergy allergy was me."

Shao Jie actually felt a little guilty, secretly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Mo, who was silent and expressionless, and his two hands were awkwardly clasped together. Jiang Mo stared at his fingers for a few seconds with his eyes downcast, and put the egg into his porridge bowl first: "When the Red Mansion case happened, after I sent you to the hospital, you transferred to Shen Ning because of the competition and Jiang Weili?"

Shao Jie was startled, nodded, and leaned forward on the edge of the table, mumbling: "I... I was actually a little traumatized at that time, so... I couldn't recognize people's faces... I had no choice but to not report to the police to cooperate with the investigation, not because I was afraid--"

Jiang Mo raised his hand to stop him: "So after Officer Wei got into trouble, we received an anonymous call saying that the murderer of the Red Mansion case was someone else... Was it you who called?"

Shao Jie's heart sank, and he pounded the ground in a low voice: "I know the murderer is still at large, but I... I really can't provide any effective clues, but I can't watch innocent people being accused of something they don't want... I actually thought about looking for you... I have been looking for you, but I didn't know your name at the time, and the police uniform number that fell from your clothes was the number when you were in school. It's not that easy to check your identity as a police officer..."

"And I always thought that the person who saved me was a male policeman. After I finally confirmed your identity... I heard you in the hospital that you still couldn't let go of the fact that you didn't save the person who reported the case in the alley of the Red Mansion case... And by some strange coincidence, you watched your colleague die... So I didn't dare to admit it... I was afraid that you would finally accept me..."

Shao Jie's voice, which was already weak and unjustified, became increasingly quiet, so quiet that Jiang Mo leaned forward to listen. Then he interrupted his mosquito-like hum with a huff without being able to tell the emotion: "You didn't dare to say it before, so why do you dare to say it today? You think that now that the rice is cooked, I can't run away, right?"

Shao Jie suddenly raised his eyes, looking into Jiang Mo's eyes in fear. After two seconds, he drooped his eyes in grievance, wishing he could curl up like a quail: "No! I've been looking for an opportunity...but...no...don't be angry...if you...I can leave now..."

"I saw in the weather forecast that it's going to rain soon. Do you have an umbrella? Where are you going?"

Jiang Mo tilted his head to look at the clear and sunny sky outside the window, and said something calmly, then finally bent his eyes, raised his hand and flicked Shao Jie's forehead hard with his fingers.

"You only think half of the time... You only remember that I feel guilty for not being able to save my master's sister, but you forgot that I once said that I never regretted saving you."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
