Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 318 Tian Min is by my side
"Who is Twenty-One? I don't know him at all." Tian Min looked at Zhao Yongliang: "I don't know what you're talking about."

After Tian Min finished speaking, she turned and left.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Yongliang called out to her again: "They already suspect you."

Tian Min continued walking back.

“I already know you can talk,” Zhao Yongliang said again. “I also know that Twenty-One knows you, and it’s not like you can just say you don’t know him and that you have no relationship with him.”

Tian Min took two steps forward, then stopped, and then came back and picked up a twig from the ground.

Before Zhao Yongliang could figure out what she was going to do, Tian Min was behind him, wrapped her arm around his neck, and pressed the tip of a tree branch against the side of his neck: "So what if you know? I can still make you die here."

When Zhao Yongliang finally realized what was happening, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He could clearly feel the branch pierce his neck with a single thrust: "You!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the house you bought on the street behind the Sheep God Temple has been discovered, hasn't it?" Tian Min snorted. "The things inside the house you bought are inextricably linked to you. You felt you couldn't explain it clearly, and you were guilty, so you chose to run away. The reason you let me go and took me with you was because you wanted to give them another target to arrest, thus diverting their police resources and increasing your chances of escaping."

They weren't even released from the police station together.

Tian Min originally wanted to go home, but she didn't expect to be pulled here halfway there.

Arguing on the street easily attracts attention, so she followed them to a secluded place.

As Tian Min spoke, her voice hardened: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't ruin my plans with your stupidity."

"Do you think they can't do anything to you just because you don't have any flaws?" Zhao Yongliang said. "People in their positions can frame someone or arrest someone with just a word. Do you think you can escape by going back and pretending nothing happened? If they want to arrest you, they don't care whether they have any evidence."

“Then you don’t need to worry about it.” After saying that, Tian Min looked around. They had walked along the pebbly hill without leaving any footprints. “Go that way.”

Zhao Yongliang followed her directions, heading towards areas with many pebbles to avoid leaving footprints.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng went up the mountain, and it started to rain not long after they got there.

Later, the people who came to help brought raincoats.

On rainy days, it gets dark earlier.

“They didn’t go into the cornfield,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “The cornfield is dirt, and footprints would be very obvious if you went in. They must have taken a gravel path.”

"And then it rained at this crucial moment." Su Miaoyi wiped the rain off her face. "The police station's drones are unusable. Since there's nothing for them to do, they can walk openly on the gravel road without having to hide in the cornfields, and they can run much faster."

Zhuang Yanzheng reached out and caught a raindrop: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. If it gets any heavier, the mountain road will become difficult to travel, and it's dark, so it's easy for something to happen."

Su Miaoyi looked at the corn around her.

The rain kept falling, and even footprints and traces were washed away.

Her phone rang; it was Duan Wenrui calling. She answered the phone.

Duan Wenrui said, "Advisor Su, Tian Min is with me."

“Tian Min is with you?!” Su Miaoyi looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng was surprised.

The hoods of their raincoats were a bit short, and the rain kept soaking their faces. Now that the rain was getting heavier, their eyelashes trembled from the raindrops, and their eyes blinked gently.

"Okay, we'll be right back." Su Miaoyi hung up the phone.

"Tian Min is with him?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked again, still surprised. "Where is Zhao Yongliang?"

“Zhao Yongliang isn’t here,” Su Miaoyi said. “Team Leader Duan said he’ll discuss it in detail when he gets back.”

“It’s getting dark, and if we haven’t found it by now, it will be difficult to find it again,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Okay." Su Miaoyi told the people at the branch office to notify their people to go back.

Tian Min was beside Duan Wenrui, and they were both in a hurry to walk back.

The descent was difficult, and Zhuang Yanzheng suddenly slipped, startling Su Miaoyi, who quickly grabbed his clothes. Su Miaoyi, standing behind him and taller than him, grabbed the back of his collar, pulling off his raincoat hood.

Zhuang Yanzheng felt someone lift him up from behind, preventing him from falling. He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the rain from his face.

Su Miaoyi said, "I will always remember this life-saving grace."

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Okay. I'll give Jinghai to you."

"Take this seriously." Su Miaoyi patted his shoulder, then shouted back, "The road down the mountain is slippery, help each other out, and be careful! Safety first!"

All that followed were responses.

They descended the mountain cautiously and in a hurry, rushing to the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, Lu Zhishen and Chu Xingrou were waiting for them at the entrance of the lobby.

Seeing them return, the two quickly opened their umbrellas to welcome them.

I entered the lobby and took off my raincoat.

Chu Xingrou took a tissue and wiped the rain off Su Miaoyi's face: "Your hair is all wet, and your clothes are wet too. Let's go back and change your clothes."

"No need, it's not very wet." Su Miaoyi dried her hair with a towel. "Is Tian Min still here?"

"Yes," Chu Xingrou said. "In the interrogation room, Captain Duan is over there."

"What happened?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Lu Ge, Duan Dui, and I were in the office looking at the black robes and masks we brought back when Tian Min suddenly came over."

“Go and ask her again in person.” Zhuang Yanzheng ran a towel through his hair a few times. “Listen to what she says twice to see if there are any discrepancies.”

"it is good."

Su Miaoyi rubbed her hair a couple of times with a towel, then casually combed it back with her fingers before heading straight to the interrogation room.

Chu Xingrou followed them into the interrogation room.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Lu Zhishen stood at the door listening without going inside.

The sign language interpreter was also sitting to one side.

Tian Min sat across the table, looking up at Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou.

Su Miaoyi sat down and first looked at her face, then at her clothes, and finally at her hands.

Her clothes were wet, and her hair was wet, but it had dried a little.

She had a fresh wound on her finger.

Minor scratches.

There were also some purple and blackish colors on the fingertips.

What happened to your hand?

Tian Min looked down at her hands and then began to gesture.

The sign language interpreter said, "After I left the police station, I went to the mountain north of the town to pick some flowers and took them to the Sheep God Temple. The injury was from being scratched by grass leaves while picking the flowers, and the color on my fingernails is from picking flowers. At first, they were white, but after a while they turned purplish-black, and the color faded on its own after a while."

"You went to the Temple of the Goat Horn?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Tian Min nodded.

The sign language interpreter said, “After picking flowers on the mountain to the north, I went to the Temple of the Goat Horn. I stayed there until it was almost dark. I wanted to wait for the rain to stop, but it got heavier and heavier, so I ran home in the rain. When I got home, I asked my mother where Tian Shi and Tian Xuan had gone. My mother said they had been detained and that the police station was looking for me, saying that I was missing and lost, so I came here as soon as possible.”
