Silver Snow Line [Criminal Investigation]

Xie Qingfei was stunned by his question, thinking that he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated the question.

Again.
The new round of tests came faster than he expected. It seemed that Xie Qingfei was still willing to give him a few more chances. He must answer well this time.

Wei Cheng looked at his feet hesitantly, organizing his words quickly.
He recalled the day he met Xie Qingfei in the hospital. In fact, he had seen her from a distance. Sometimes he even wondered if his eyes had some kind of GPS system that was only effective for her, otherwise how could he always spot her at the first sight? It was as if all the people and scenery around him were in black and white, except for her, who was gorgeous and eye-catching.
Then he put on the distant and indifferent attitude of an ex-boyfriend and walked to her side casually, hoping to have an unexpected encounter, but he didn't expect her to drop something on the ground. He helped her pick it up subconsciously, but who knew he would be caught off guard and see that line of words.

What should be the reaction? All the sweet words were useless at this moment. Wei Cheng raised his head, not daring to look into Xie Qingfei's eyes. He was a little shy: "Probably, probably I will be surprised, then happy, then worried, and then happy again..."
He also realized that his words were illogical, and hinted: "I'm not sure, I haven't experienced it yet."

Xie Qingfei said seriously, "So, I think Wang Shuang didn't want her to give birth to his child before he got the chance to take care of Zhang Yan by causing her miscarriage. The blood relationship allows Zhang Yan to get whatever she wants from her family. This child will certainly become a tool for the Zhang family to hold Wang Shuang hostage. Even if Zhang Yan dies, as long as the child is there, he can't get rid of this family... Did he consider these things from the beginning?"

Wei Cheng: “!!!”
Wei Cheng: “???”
Wei Cheng: “…”

He sat back down.

"Although his reaction in the video is not enough to be used as evidence, it can be used to test his attitude again when necessary." Xie Qingfei didn't know what kind of storm Wei Cheng went through in just a few seconds, and he showed him the video and asked as if to verify, "Do you think there is a problem?"
"Yes." Wei Cheng answered affirmatively.

At least compared to when he found out yesterday, Wang Shuang was so calm as if he had been a father countless times and nothing was new to him. He didn't have the feeling of being struck by lightning, or of wanting to run around the hospital 200 times after being shocked and announce to the world that he was going to be a father.

Seeing him like this, Xie Qingfei thought he was worried about the case, so he comforted him, "If you are really curious, you can come and listen to the interrogation. As for Wang Shuang, I really need your help in judging him."
What else could Wei Cheng say? He looked at his ex-girlfriend who only had work in her eyes and no love, and said resignedly, "Okay, thank you, Captain."
Xie Qingfei's phone rang again. Dai Lin sent all the information. The owner of that barrage was indeed related to Wang Shuang. They were college classmates.
"Let's go. Before we go to the welfare home, let's meet this classmate first."

The classmate's name is Liang Siying, and she is currently an accountant at a building materials company.
Liang Siying was very surprised that the police came to her house. She didn't know what she had done wrong and thought that there was a problem with the company's accounts and they were being investigated. She only felt relieved when Xie Qingfei stated his purpose and asked her if she knew Wang Shuang.

"Wang Shuang and I were in the same class, but we were in different majors. I got to know him because of my roommate," Liang Siying recalled. "They dated for half a semester, and then my roommate couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him. At that time, Wang Shuang ran downstairs to our dormitory building to win her back. He even climbed onto the rooftop and threatened to jump off the building. Half of the campus knew about it. In the end, he persuaded her to come down, but my roommate was so scared that she took a leave of absence."

Xie Qingfei asked: "Why did they break up?"
Liang Siying was a little embarrassed and said in an awkward tone: "Can you keep it a secret for me? Don't tell others that I told you."
Xie Qingfei: "Of course."
"My roommate actually just helped him out, and that's how they got to know each other. He's pretty handsome and gentle, and after he confessed, my roommate reluctantly agreed. In fact, she didn't date him because she liked him... but she didn't expect him to be so obsessed with her. He was very obedient to my roommate, often gave her gifts, and planned study tasks for her. He was a very good boyfriend, but my roommate didn't mean that after all. She felt guilty and broke up with him, but he couldn't accept it."

Xie Qingfei glanced to the side and Wei Cheng nodded slightly to her.

Liang Siying added: "In fact, I personally feel that Wang Shuang is too controlling. When they were dating, my roommate was as busy as working. His daily schedule was fully arranged by him. He had no time to go shopping and eating with us. It was because he was handsome. How do we use the current words - yes, a domineering president, he is quite domineering. If he was a little uglier, we would have persuaded him to break up... I saw his wife's vlog two years ago. Although I haven't seen him for more than ten years, I still recognized him at a glance. It seems that the couple gets along very sweetly. Maybe this type of man has his audience."

After that, Liang Siying asked cautiously: "What's wrong with Wang Shuang?"
Xie Qingfei smiled at her: "Nothing, thank you for today."
Liang Siying knew that this meant that it was inconvenient to disclose, so she waved her hand: "It's a small matter."

Back in the car, Wei Cheng didn't rush to start it: "What do you think?"
Xie Qingfei said: "Same as you."

When couples get along, it is important to have a good personality. Most people like freedom and do not like to be controlled by others. Once they find themselves being restricted in a relationship and this restriction is contrary to their usual living habits, conflicts will arise between partners, and they may compromise and endure, or be unwilling to accommodate and eventually break up, just like Liang Siying's roommate. Zhang Yan should have discovered that something was wrong with Wang Shuang during their relationship, but because she did not have a healthy growth environment, she was psychologically weak and overly dependent on Wang Shuang. She mistook these desires for control as Wang Shuang's care and love for her, which accidentally led to their union.

The two went to the orphanage where Wang Shuang grew up. The director had retired long ago, and not many people remembered him, but after asking around, they still got an important clue -
When Wang Shuang was 6 years old, he was adopted, but was later abandoned because he was not liked by his adoptive parents.

Because everything from adoption to dissolution was completed before he was 8 years old, there was no need to ask for his consent. An adult's "trial" is probably just like a 7-day unconditional return policy. It's hard to say whether they will remember it after it's over. But it's a seed planted in the child's heart, which will sprout and grow. If you're not careful, it will mutate and not die or wither.

"Tsk, being abandoned twice, I wouldn't be optimistic if it was me." Thinking of this, Xie Qingfei immediately understood why Wang Shuang only got together with Zhang Yan. "After Zhang Yuheng was born, Zhang Yan was also abandoned by her family. This is probably the emotional resonance between the two of them. Otherwise, for someone like Wang Shuang who didn't establish a relationship based on pure love, if he was blocked by the Zhang family during the relationship, he could just break up and find another partner. Why did he entangle with Zhang Yan for so many years? After all, Zhang Yan is still different to him."

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't consider love too much."

"Really? When analyzing the criminal psychology of a suspect, of course every possibility must be taken into account. I do think that when things have developed to this point, it is no longer the point to investigate whether it is love or not, but this objective fact cannot be ignored because of my personal opinion, otherwise there will be problems with my professional ability." Xie Qingfei looked at him for a few times, "You suspected that I have low empathy before, as if I am such a cold-blooded person. In your heart, do I really disrespect love?"
"People you've loved will definitely not have such thoughts. So far, I'm the only one who is qualified to prove this." Wei Cheng curled his lips, revealing a little complacency, but soon calmed down, as if recalling some lonely memories, "But I've been dumped, haven't I? It's ridiculous to talk about love with you again."

Xie Qingfei looked at him in silence. They were so close that they often could understand each other without direct words. But sometimes she felt that he was very far away from her. All his words and actions were targeted feedback after observing her behavior. Although the results always made her feel satisfied, when she thought about it carefully, his self had long been excluded. "Tacit understanding" became her unilateral illusion.
It was rare that he said a few words of blame, clearly saying "Your behavior makes me very unhappy", but Xie Qingfei felt relieved.

Seeing that she was not angry at his sarcasm, and even looked at him with a kind of compassionate care, Wei Cheng couldn't think of what to say for a moment.
Xie Qingfei then took the car keys from his hand and said very gently: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll drive on the way back."
Wei Cheng: “…”
He couldn't believe her gentleness just now, so he chased after her and asked, "You just want to drive my new car, right?"
Xie Qingfei: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Tianning Branch.

Xi Ming was sleeping soundly on the table. Xie Qingfei walked past him, covered him with the coat that was on the chair, and then went into his office.
Five minutes later, Xi Ming opened his eyes dazedly, stretched himself, turned his head and saw Wei Cheng's expressionless face, and was startled.
"Why don't you say anything?" he complained.
Wei Cheng pressed down the raised hair on his forehead and said softly, "You seem to be sleeping so soundly, I'm sorry to disturb you."

"You're being polite." Xi Ming shook off his goosebumps, and then he remembered something and asked, "Why are you here? Could it be that the thing my master mentioned this afternoon is with you?"
Wei Cheng: “Yes.”
"It's really you, fierce man."
Wei Cheng: “?”
"I saw my master answering the phone at noon. She looked like she was being criticized. I asked her who was so bold and she said it was you. I didn't believe it at first!" Xi Ming said in an exaggerated tone, "You must have scolded her."
Wei Cheng began to doubt himself: "No way? I didn't say anything."
"That's because you have such a bad temper that you don't even realize it," Xi Ming criticized without giving any explanation, "My master has worked very hard, you should be gentler to her. Even if you break up, you can still be good friends. After all, you have known each other for so many years. My master was worried about you when she heard that you were sick, why can't you think about her as well?"

Wei Cheng was slightly startled: "Worried about me?"
She obviously... didn't care about him that much.

Xi Ming continued, "Although she didn't say it, being transferred away from the front line still had a great impact on her. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was a setback. Don't you think about it? For a person like my master, being accused of a big pot without any basis and being investigated inside and out without any privacy, what's the difference between this and humiliation? When people are on a high position, they only hear good words. No matter whether they are sincere or compliant, they always have some concerns. But if one day there is a little bit of 'bad' in you, humility will become arrogance, and no matter how many achievements you have made, they can be distorted into a 'criminal record'. Even the strongest person will be emotional. Haven't you noticed that she has become different in the past few months? Her mood must be affected." Wei Cheng still didn't say anything.
Xie Qingfei is one of the very few people who implements the mentality of not being happy with things or sad with herself in all aspects of life. She has always acted uprightly, strived to be the first in everything, had a very high self-worth, and thought that she was the best person in the world, so she didn't care about other people's evaluation of her at all. No matter how unpleasant the words were, they were as painless as a dog's barking to her ears, so Wei Cheng didn't think that this incident would be a blow to her.
There is only one reason left that can make her become abnormal.

Xi Ming hadn't been beaten for three days. It was rare that his brother didn't say anything back even though he was bullying others. He couldn't help but ask, "So, as someone's ex-boyfriend, if you don't just stay as quiet as a dead person, you should at least stop causing trouble for others, right?"
Then he got a slap in the face, and Wei Cheng said, "You have no respect for your parents."

"Hiss - you're done. Don't expect me to say good things for you in the future!" Xi Ming accused, holding his head.
Wei Cheng looked at him again, raised his hand and pushed the clothes he was wearing to the ground.
Xi Ming was furious: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are sick! You are her ex-boyfriend, but I am her current disciple. Apologize to me quickly! Otherwise... you don't want my master to know that you have been secretly going to her house to peek at her every few days, right?"

Wei Cheng ignored him.

Xie Qingfei didn't draw the curtain, so from his angle he could clearly see the scene inside her office.
In just the blink of an eye, he watched Xie Qingfei unscrew an unopened bottle of mineral water, drink a few sips, then drop two bags of instant coffee powder into it, and then finish the whole process of refreshing himself with this cup of homemade American coffee.
A very novel operation.
Xi Ming also saw it and exclaimed, "Wow!" "What a good idea! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"
Then I rummaged through the drawers to find ingredients and put them into practice.
Wei Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and walked into her office with heavy and quick steps, closing the door and blinds at her confused look.

Xie Qingfei: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Wei Cheng didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a few seconds, he stood still and said, "If you don't change your lifestyle, it will be bad for the child."

There was a silence in the air.

Wei Cheng saw that she had no expression, and thought that she was temporarily frightened by her secret being exposed. Then he spoke more fluently: "Of course, I don't mean to worry about the child. I am worried about you. After all, it relies on your nutrition to grow, which is a kind of harm to you. When I think about you taking more health risks because of carrying it, I feel very uncomfortable. But since you have decided to keep it, I will respect your choice. I don't want to interfere with your life, but I think that even if it is for your own good, you should be more careful now than before."

Xie Qingfei was indeed shocked. Although Wei Cheng's Mandarin was very standard and his voice was pleasant, why did these commonly used words sound so unfamiliar when put together?
So she asked a soul-searching question: "Huh?"

Wei Cheng misunderstood and explained hurriedly, "I'm not saying that I don't care about this child. After all, it's my child. What I mean is that compared to you, I care about you more. It's just an embryo, at most one of your organs, and its importance cannot be compared with you. Pregnancy is not an easy thing. Even though medicine is so advanced now, I don't think there should be survivor bias and I don't think I should let you suffer with peace of mind. You must have your reasons for not telling me, but now that I know, I can't be irresponsible and pretend nothing happened and let you face these dangers alone."

Xie Qingfei was indeed a smart person. After listening to his long speech, he still had something he didn't understand. He immediately looked at him in disbelief: "Wei Cheng, are you..."
Wei Cheng: "Yes, I know you are pregnant."
Xie Qingfei: "..."

Without waiting for her to explain, he snatched her "coffee cup", pushed her to sit on the chair, and bent down to squat beside her knees.
His head was lowered very low, with the word "frustration" written on his forehead. He wanted to hold her hand, but he didn't dare to move because he no longer had the status and qualifications. He danced awkwardly in the air, and finally had to put it on his knees.

"The fetus will absorb nutrients from the mother and rely on the mother's care after birth. The father only plays a starting role in providing sperm. It was not even your intention to have a child. This role is no different from harm. Even if the accident is inevitable, it is my fault that you have to endure this." Wei Cheng felt so guilty that his voice lowered. "I didn't sleep all night last night. I looked up a lot of information, but there was no information that told me how to share all this for you. I have studied medicine for so many years, and this is the first time I feel useless. I'm sorry."

A long silence followed.

Xie Qingfei was really shocked by his words, thinking about all the abnormalities he had behaved like since last night - it turned out to be just because of this.
Looking at his uneasy expression, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't be sorry, I'm not pregnant at all."

Wei Cheng looked up in surprise and praised: "Your acting is really good."
Finally, he added, "Since I promised you that I would not interfere with your work, I will definitely meet all your needs within the maximum safety range, so you don't have to hide anything from me. This is the first time you have experienced this kind of thing. No matter how capable you are, you will definitely be at a loss sometimes. You really don't have to feel burdened. I won't use the child to threaten you to get back together with me. I just hope you know that you can tell me if you have any questions. This is what I should do. I am sorry for you and for causing you to suffer."

Xie Qingfei was burned by his burning gaze.
Then she couldn't help but reached out and touched his chin.
Although Wei Cheng was puzzled, he did not resist. He was as obedient as a canine and then naturally took her finger.

"You're so cute," Xie Qingfei was completely amused by his expression this time. He wanted to tease him, but suddenly he couldn't bear it anymore. "I'm really not pregnant! We broke up four months ago. How could I suddenly get pregnant now?"
This explanation was totally unreliable, so Wei Cheng immediately said, "Have you forgotten? Last month, it was Xi Ming's birthday, and I sent you home, and then we..."

That was the first time they met after their breakup.
The feeling at that time was unrecallable. Anyway, neither of them drank alcohol, and there was no other external factors that would make them lose their minds. But just like two flames approaching each other, the flames will inevitably intertwine and burn more and more vigorously. Some things will naturally get out of control when there is no need to suppress them. The remaining rationality made them tacitly not mention the matter afterwards, and no one would investigate who was the first to lose their breath.

Xie Qingfei was caught off guard by the dead memory attack, and suddenly felt embarrassed. He said in a very low voice, "But we also took safety measures that night."
Wei Cheng looked like a professional popularizer: "The maximum contraceptive efficiency of condoms is only 98%, and that's only when used gently and monotonously. But that night we not only..."
"..."
"return……"
Xie Qingfei suddenly raised his hands, covering his mouth with one hand and his own face with the other.
Wei Cheng was still struggling: "So it's very likely that I accidentally avoided it during the process... Ugh!"

Xie Qingfei exerted some strength to make sure he would not say anything more outrageous. She took a deep breath and said with a red face, "That's impossible! Why are you so sure that I'm pregnant?"
"You are pregnant." He grabbed her hand back.

"I've seen your ultrasound report, which says you're 6 weeks pregnant." Wei Cheng didn't know why she still refused to admit it, so he put the evidence in front of her face, "Your outpatient doctor is Zhang Yuheng, right? I saw you and your cousin coming out of his clinic, and later I specifically asked him if the person who just came was really pregnant. He said yes, otherwise she would have gone to the gynecology department, why did she come to the obstetrics department. And I've carefully read every physical examination report of yours, and there's no other problem, so you can only be pregnant."
Xie Qingfei: "Then guess why I went with my cousin. If I were going alone...I would need someone to accompany me to the hospital?"

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and from her expression he could tell that she was not lying.

"Wait a moment," he felt his mind was a little confused, and the fragmented memories were pieced together in his mind, forming the ultrasound report with half of the patient information column blocked, "What's your cousin's name?"
Xie Qingfei said meaningfully: "Xie Yinan. Che Shiyi, the south of north and south."
Wei Cheng: “…”

Thank you Qingfei.
Xie Yinan.
Thank you Qingfei.
thank.

Ah ha.
