"What are you talking about? Nini! Comrade police, just come to me if you have anything to do. My granddaughter really doesn't know anything!" Zhao Shouping thought that Ye Fan wanted to take Nini away, so he almost knelt down in fright.【】

"Master, I think you misunderstood. We just want to talk to Nini and ask her some basic conditions. We won't embarrass her." Ye Fan glanced at Murong Xue behind him and deliberately lowered his voice: "Besides,

, if you are taken away by the police, then your granddaughter will have no one to take care of her."

Ye Fan explained the stakes clearly in order to make Zhao Shouping relent.

Judging from the previous conversation, Zhao Nini has a mild mental retardation and only trusts Zhao Shouping. If she had ignored Zhao Shouping and gone to Zhao Nini, the little girl wouldn't have said anything.

After much consideration, Zhao Shouping finally agreed to Ye Fan's request. He also wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible and end these troublesome incidents.

The place where Zhao Shouping lives is less than two kilometers away from the Third Hutong. It is a resettlement house built ten years ago. It is dilapidated and crowded, and there are many poor people like Zhao Shouping living in it.

"Comrade police, this is it." Zhao Shouping pointed to the dilapidated hut in front of him with a confused look on his face. The house was too small, and Nini might not be able to adapt to so many people entering at once.

Ye Fan saw the worry in Zhao Shouping's heart and signaled Lu Yuan and Murong Xue to wait outside the house while he went in first.

Lu Yuan patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and said: "Boy, let's fight quickly. Remember to relax your expression and don't scare the little girl."

Zhao Shouping took out the key and opened the door. A sour smell rushed towards him, making Ye Fan frown slightly.

The layout of one bedroom and one living room covers an area of ​​less than 30 square meters. There are all kinds of empty bottles and waste paper shells piled up in the entrance and living room, making it almost difficult to get out. In such a small room, there is even a separate room for Ni.

Ni's bedroom, it can be seen that Zhao Shouping really loves his granddaughter.

The light was on in the bedroom, and a small shadow could be vaguely seen swaying with the light.

"Nini, grandpa is back." Zhao Shouping said, and the little figure quickly got up and ran towards the outside of the house.

"grandfather!"

After seeing Mark, Nini was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Ye Fan didn't say anything, he just took out the chocolate that he brought from the hotel and handed it to Nini. He forced a smile from his face. He was not very good at dealing with children, and he had always been like this.

Nini glanced at Zhao Shouping, and after receiving the latter's consent, she took the chocolate from Mark's hand, unwrapped it unfamiliarly, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious!" The little girl's eyes were dull, but she just grinned. The mixture of chocolate and saliva dripped down from the cracks in the corners of her mouth, and dripped on the black-stained floor.

The chocolate still worked, and Nini no longer acted as restrained as before, coquettishly dragging Zhao Shouping into the house to see her new toy.

"Nini, wait a minute. This brother is going to ask you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly, okay?" Zhao Shouping glanced outside the room uneasily, then pulled Nini and stood in front of Mark.

Compared to the two people outside the house, Ye Fan was obviously easier to talk to.

"Okay, Nini is a good child and never lies." The little girl turned to look at Mark, with a little expectation in her eyes.

The young Nini regarded this inquiry as a game.

Ye Fan squatted down and tried his best to appear amiable: "Nini, let me ask you, what did you do early this morning?"

"I'm waiting for grandpa to come back at the entrance of the alley." Nini looked at Zhao Shouping with an innocent look on her face: "Grandpa didn't come back by the time. I thought he wanted to play games with me, so I hid him!"

"Then what?"

"Then I kept waiting for grandpa to come find me."

"Can you tell me, brother, what's going on with the sister in the alley?"

"Sister?" Nini was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to remember something and exclaimed: "Sister is also playing games with me. After we left the alley, she was still following me and grandpa!"

The more innocent the little girl was, the more Ye Fan felt his scalp numb.

Although Nini has mild mental retardation, there is no problem with her vision. There is no need for the little girl to deliberately fabricate such lies. But Guo Xiaohui was already dead at the time. This is a fact. Could it be that there were other people passing by near the murder scene?

Ye Fan thought for a while and then asked Zhao Shouping if he had seen the woman Nini mentioned. After hearing this, Zhao Shouping quickly shook his head and repeatedly emphasized that he had never seen it. After finishing speaking, he vaguely stated that the Taoist priest in the village had once told him that in this world

Only innocent children can see ghosts in the world, and the sister Nini talks about is the dead Guo Xiaohui.

"interesting."

Ye Fan asked Nini a few more questions, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Nini in front of him pestered Zhao Shouping to see her new toy. The old man was so annoyed that he couldn't help it.

I had no choice but to follow Nini towards her room.

Outside the door, Lu Yuan and Murong Xue listened to the conversation. They stood opposite each other with solemn expressions.

What Nini said was consistent with the testimony left by Zhao Shouping before. It was too difficult for a child with mild mental retardation to perjury for herself. Murong Xue also tended that Zhao Shouping did not lie.

"The clue is broken again."

"Yes, Captain." Lu Yuan glanced at the figures in the room and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Compared to Zhao Shouping, that guy is more suspicious. He must be hiding something."

"You mean Mark?"

"right."

Murong Xue glanced at the situation in the room again, looking thoughtful, then took out five hundred yuan from her wallet and stuffed it into her shoes at the door of the room.

"We have sent people to check his background, but Uncle Kong is still unwilling to reveal a word."

"Uncle Kong is a little strange lately. He and Ye Fan seem to have known each other for a long time." Lu Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and bit it in his mouth: "I heard that Jialu has a new clue?"

"Yes, when the results of the footprint identification come out tomorrow, there will be a breakthrough in the case." Murong Xue thought for a while and swallowed back the word "hope" that just came to her lips.

The two of them lowered their heads in silence, waiting for Ye Fan to come out of the room. However, as time passed, Ye Fan never walked out of the room.

"Ye Fan, are you okay?" Lu Yuan called out impatiently, but received no response. Not only Ye Fan, but also Zhao Shouping didn't reply. The room behind him was filled with silence.

Lu Yuan realized something was wrong and quickly put out his cigarette butts and rushed into the room.

At the end of the room, Zhao Shouping was huddled in the corner with his young Nini in his arms, his face pale. Ye Fan stood motionless with his back to the door.

Murong Xue, who was behind her, quickly stepped forward, very dissatisfied with Ye Fan's disrespectful behavior.

"You guys, don't you know how to agree when someone calls your name? No matter what your relationship is with Uncle Kong, today I..."

Before she finished speaking, Murong Xue was also stunned.
