Strange hobbies...

Xu Tian racked his brains for a moment, then shook his head.

The answer is no.

Xiao Jing continued unwillingly, "Then think about it again carefully, don't overlook any details..."

For Xu Tian, ​​forcing him to recall every detail of his time with Zhang Qian was undoubtedly painful.

Because he had never experienced what beautiful feelings were like with Zhang Qian; it was all one-sided giving on his part.

"I really don't know, and besides, what she has of what kind of fetishes is none of my business!"

Xu Tian was already getting a little annoyed.

"Of course it's your business. What was the reason you divorced her?"

The coldness in Xu Tian's eyes intensified, unaware that Xiao Jing had repeatedly tested his patience.

The reason for the divorce...

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh at himself. Did not letting him touch her for three years of marriage count? Did she cheat on him during their marriage?

"Tell me, why did you divorce her? Was it because she..."

"What I'm saying is none of your business! If you're so curious, just go ask him!"

Xu Tian interrupted her directly, his eyes filled with anger.

Every additional question Xiao Jing asked was like nailing him to the pillar of shame and torturing him further.

Xiao Jing was stunned, clearly not expecting that the man who had been talking so eloquently like a friendly older brother next door would suddenly become a completely different person.

The more Xu Tian reacted, the more she felt that there must be a secret between the two of them.

With a desire to get to the bottom of things, Xiao Jing looked at him.

"To tell you the truth, both cases in Jiangcheng may be related to your ex-wife, so you'd better tell me everything you know."

Xu Tian was no longer listening to these words and looked at her with a serious expression.

Xiao Jing's words were like sparks thrown into a pile of dry tinder, instantly igniting the anger in Xu Tian's heart.

He turned around abruptly, veins bulging on his forehead, his clenched fist trembling slightly, as if he were about to strike at any moment.

Xiao Jing was startled by his attitude, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes as she looked at him.

Xu Tian spoke slowly and deliberately,

"Everyone in Jiangcheng knows about me and her!"

"If you want to know, go ask her yourself!"

After saying that, he strode towards the car, slamming the door shut with a loud bang, leaving a lingering echo.

Xiao Jing stood there in astonishment, and by the time she came to her senses, the car had already sped away.

Xiao Jing felt wronged. She only wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, but she was unjustly subjected to Xu Tian's anger.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Looks like I'll have to walk home by myself today...

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao Jing hurriedly ran out of her house.

She had just been standing in the room on the second floor when she saw the struggle between Xiao Jing and Xu Tian.

That's why I specifically brought my car keys and followed them.

"You... how did you get out?" Xiao Jing smiled awkwardly.

Zhao Jing raised her car keys, "How are you going to get home if I don't get out?"

With that, Zhao Jing got into the car, and Xiao Jing sighed, opened the car door, and sat down.

"I've rarely seen Xu Tian this angry. What were you guys talking about just now?"

Zhao Jing asked curiously.

Xiao Jing briefly recounted what had happened.

No wonder!

Xiao Jing was puzzled. "I just wanted to know more about Zhang Qian's character."

"He's been married to Zhang Qian for so many years, he must know the situation best, but he inexplicably lost his temper!"

As she spoke, Xiao Jing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, since she hadn't offended Xu Tian.

Zhao Jing burst out laughing.

"You really don't understand Xu Tian, ​​and you understand Zhang Qian even less."

Xiao Jing glanced at her. "What do you mean?"

She believed that the stronger Xu Tian's reaction, the more it indicated that Zhang Qian had a problem.

The fact that Zhang Qian has issues means that she plays a significant role in advancing the case.

Zhao Jing smiled helplessly and briefly explained to Xiao Jing the situation of Xu Tian and Zhang Qian being together.

"This is too much! Even as a woman, I can't side with her, let alone a man like him!"

Xiao Jing said indignantly.

Zhao Jing nodded, "Yes, so your constant questioning about the details of Xu Tian and Zhang Qian's life naturally reminded him of his past pain..."

Now Xiao Jing completely understood. She used to feel wronged, but now she seemed like a big jerk who deliberately reopened old wounds!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

No wonder Xu Tian was so angry; anyone would have been justified in hitting her.

Zhao Jing smiled knowingly as she looked at Xiao Jing, who was lost in self-blame.

"Xu Tian's temper flares up quickly but also subsides just as fast. But I do have a question: how did the murder case in Jiangcheng get involved with Zhang Qian?"

"This……"

Xiao Jing hesitated, as she was a police officer and couldn't reveal too much about the case's development to outsiders.

Seeing her predicament, Zhao Jing smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, I understand. Zhang Qian and I have been friends for many years. If you have any questions, you can just ask me."

"Really?"

Xiao Jing never expected that she and Zhang Qian had this connection.

Seeing Zhao Jing's certainty, Xiao Jing told her to park the car on the side of the road and then took out her notebook that she always carried with her.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

Wow, you police officers are all so professional!

Xiao Jing pushed up her glasses and became visibly serious, so Zhao Jing had no choice but to go along with it.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jing's notebook had been filled with several pages of notes, and Zhao Jing was even getting a little sleepy from all the questions.

In the end, however, there was still no useful information, or rather, Zhang Qian did not exhibit any unusual behavior.

"Thank you for your hard work today, you even took me home."

Xiao Jing looked at Zhao Jing shyly.

Zhao Jing yawned and waved her hand, "It's okay, cooperating with the investigation is every citizen's responsibility and obligation."

The car started again, and Xiao Jing became less talkative along the way. It was clear that she hadn't gained anything today, which made her somewhat absent-minded.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't help you," Zhao Jing said while observing the road conditions.

Xiao Jing shook her head. "I should be the one feeling sorry. You've already helped me a lot today."

"Maybe I was going in the wrong direction from the start... Perhaps I'm not cut out to be a policeman..."

As she spoke, Xiao Jing lowered her head in silence, looking utterly dejected.

Just then, Zhao Jing slammed on the brakes. Luckily, they were wearing seatbelts, otherwise they would have been thrown out.

"What happened?" Xiao Jing asked, still shaken.

Zhao Jing tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, lost in memories.

"I just remembered something."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing asked helplessly.

A sudden stop almost made her throw up her dinner from the night before.

“Zhang Qian was kidnapped once when she was in high school.”

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up immediately, and she listened attentively.

"It seems they were kidnapped by some school thugs. I remember it was for a few days, but they were returned unharmed after a few days."

"And it's said that those thugs were all injured to varying degrees. Anyway, we haven't seen that group of people at the school gate since then."
