Chapter 134 I Want to Kill Him

"What about payment records? Credit card, bank card, Alipay, WeChat, etc.?"

After a moment's thought, Ah Xiang followed the line of thought about the spending records and came up with several clues.

"The police have already followed up, and they can retrieve the information as soon as the bank opens tomorrow. We haven't received authorization from our superiors to freeze his bank card yet," Officer Cao said to himself.

Ah Xiang strolled to the window. The Central Hospital, shrouded in night, appeared solemn and tranquil.

The place is packed with people during the day, and it's extremely difficult to get an appointment with many specialists when they are on duty. But it's a different story at night, when the number of patients is less than one-tenth of that during the day.

Apart from a few scattered figures, only the streetlights cast their glow into the darkness of the outpatient building of the Central Hospital.

Ah Xiang reached into his pocket, intending to light a cigarette, but his hand froze as soon as it touched the edge of his police uniform trousers.

He seemed to freeze in place, blinking and glancing again at a handsome figure in front of the hospital's outpatient building.

Ah Xiang already had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and now, because he was so focused, the light shooting out from his dark pupils seemed to have a spotlight effect, and he was able to detect the man downstairs without missing a beat.

He narrowed his eyes, like a cunning hunter watching his prey fall into a trap, a sly smile spreading across his face.

He whispered into the receiver, "Boss, let's call it a day! I've found Jia Nan!"

On the other end of the phone, Captain Cao was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood and said with delight, "Jia Nan also went to the Central Hospital, right? You and Xiao Wang alone probably won't be able to handle him. I'll send a few more people over to provide support."

After thinking for a moment, Captain Cao said thoughtfully, "Ah Xiang, make sure to protect Wenjie's safety!"

"Don't worry, boss. Xiao Wang will protect Wenjie. I can capture Jia Nan alive by myself."

"Ah Xiang, don't underestimate him. This Jia Nan is not easy to deal with. Didn't you see the taut muscles on Wen Jie's body? He should be quite skilled. He still fell victim to Jia Nan's ambush."

"Okay, I'll be careful!"

Ah Xiang hung up the phone, gave Xiao Wang a few instructions on the walkie-talkie, and then ran towards the elevator.

In the police academy, whether it's sprinting or grappling, if Jia Nan is second, no one dares to claim first.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Xiang, like a nimble leopard, silently appeared behind Jia Nan.

He narrowed his eyes and looked Jia Nan up and down.

Ah Xiang is over 180cm tall and weighs around 65kg. He has broad shoulders and long legs. With this kind of physique, his explosive power is average, and his endurance is not very good either...

Jia Nan hung up the phone hastily, looked up at the vast sky, and seemed lost in thought.

He is aloof and indifferent, seemingly possessing an aura that makes him out of place. To those who try to approach him, he will simply tell them to "Get lost."

Based on Ah Xiang's many years of experience as a police officer, Jia Nan is not the kind of vicious criminal.

Ah Xiang curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile.

He abandoned the idea of ​​launching a sneak attack.

Ah Xiang was about to step forward, show his police ID, and greet Jia Nan.

"Hello!" The voice seemed to drift from the horizon.

The greeting was bland and polite, lacking any sincerity.

Jia Nan had already turned around, a polite smile on her face.

Hello, Jia Nan!

"Good morning, officer!"

Jia Nan glanced briefly at A Xiang's well-fitting police uniform, her tone indifferent.

"Mr. Jia Nan, come with me to the police station. We need your cooperation in some investigations," A Xiang said, showing his police ID.

Jia Nan clasped her hands together, her fingers tracing the bracelet on her wrist, and clearly uttered a single word: "Good."

Ah Xiang spoke to Xiao Wang over the walkie-talkie and then led Jia Nan toward the police car.

"My friend is injured and is still in the emergency room." As she spoke, Jia Nan lowered her eyes, then looked up again, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Could you ask your colleague to take care of my friend too?"

"Don't worry, the police station will send officers over soon."

The implication is that your friend won't escape either.

After saying that, A-Xiang laughed heartily. Seeing A-Xiang's open and honest laughter, Jia Nan also laughed.

However, Jia Nan rarely laughs like this; her laugh is rather stiff and seems somewhat embarrassed.

Jia Nan's change in expression surprised A Xiang a little.

He led Jia Nan into the police car, locked the car, and started the engine while asking, "Jia Nan, do you know why we're asking you to come back to the police station?"

The bloody and bizarre images of tonight flooded Jia Xiang's mind. He closed his eyes slightly and said slowly:

"I know, um... because of Wenjie."

After Jia Nan finished speaking, she turned to Ah Xiang and asked, "Officer, is Wenjie also at the Central Hospital?"

Ah Xiang's sensitive nerves were suddenly touched. Did Jia Nan still intend to silence him?

“No.” Ah Xiang answered without hesitation.

“When I made the call, I saw him being brought over by an ambulance from the East District Hospital.”

After speaking, Jia Nan looked away and stared straight ahead.

Ah Xiang shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: This Jia Nan is quite sharp-tongued! She can make people feel embarrassed with just a few words.

"Then why did you poison Wenjie?"

Jia Nan remained calm, glancing at A Xiang out of the corner of her eye: "I want to kill him. He's quite skilled, and I might not be his match in a one-on-one fight, so I have no choice but to poison him."

"Hehe..." Ah Xiang chuckled awkwardly, glancing at Jia Nan again without realizing it.

Who would have thought that Jia Nan, who looks tall and slender, is actually a real man!

Police officers like this kind of person who dares to take responsibility.

"Then...why kill him?"

"Because he killed my brother."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang realized there was more to the case than met the eye, and his interest was piqued.

His eyes light up at the mere mention of a case, which he calls an occupational hazard, and Ah-Xiang doesn't mind.

"Your brother was murdered by Wenjie? Did you call the police?"

"That happened 12 years ago, and it was ruled an accidental death at the time..."

When Jia Nan spoke of these things, her voice became hoarse and her gaze became distant, as if she were looking through the windshield of the car and freezing that afternoon filled with the smell of the countryside and weeds.

"...Even if an investigation had been launched at the time, it would have been futile; the murderer would not have been found."

As Jia Nan continued her story, Ah Xiang fell into deep thought. After a long while, he realized what she meant and said, "Wait a minute! Why do you have so little faith in the police?"

Jia Nan stopped speaking, kept her mouth tightly shut, and stared blankly ahead.

The strange things he encountered were difficult to explain to the police in just a few words.

In fact, he hadn't told anyone... well, strictly speaking, he had told that old man.

He just told Jia Song on the phone that Jia Song thinks he's mentally unstable.

If you tell anyone about this strange thing, they'll think you're talking nonsense.

I might as well shut my mouth.

He wasn't the type of person with a gossipy nature; silence might suit him better.
