Lin Jianqiu Lu would not change his face when he met a murderer, but at this moment, he showed a bit of depression and helplessness.

The bearded man next to him opened his mouth with a blank expression, so dumb that he didn't respond.

It was almost late at night, and the financial situation of the two was very worrying, and they had nowhere to turn to. They had just encountered a murder during the day, and their home was blown up again at night, which can be said to be unlucky.

There may not even be a place to stay overnight.

Inappropriately, Officer Gao remembered the rumor in the gossip tabloids that Lin Jianqiu slept in the bridge hole.

How miserable.

But Officer Gao inexplicably felt that what Lin Jianqiu was sad at the moment must not just be the fact that he had no place to live.

He looked up at the old building that was emitting thick smoke.

Firefighters have begun to put out the fire, and there are also police officers nearby who feel that order is being maintained.

The cause of the fire and explosion they have roughly figured out.

Someone inadvertently threw a cigarette butt into the pile of waste paper boxes piled up in the corridor, causing a fire.

A family upstairs forgot to turn off the gas after cooking, causing another explosion.

Basically it comes down to accident.

The old house has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can almost be classified as a dangerous building. However, due to the remote location, the number of residents has decreased year by year, and gradually no one cares about it.

The accident was also due to the lack of basic security facilities.

Fortunately, most of the residents in the building leave early and return late, and many of them work night shifts. There were not many people in the building when the accident happened.

When the fire just started, someone shouted in a hurry, telling people to run away.

Only the two households reacted a little slower in their sleep, so they were affected by the explosion and were injured and rushed to the hospital. Their lives are not in danger for the time being.

It was luck that there was no death, and Officer Gao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, this day will be too bad.

But this is not a good thing for the residents in the building.

The only reason they are willing to live in dirty, cramped and insecure houses is because the rent is cheap.

Now this building can no longer be lived in, and the surrounding old buildings will also be included in the investigation list. It is hard to say whether it can be rented out again. If you encounter a messy landlord again, it will be a headache to ask them for damages. .

And their personal financial loss.

Officer Gao thought of something, followed Lin Jianqiu's gaze and looked up.

"Which room do you live in?" Officer Gao asked.

"The one that exploded is upstairs." Lin Jianqiu replied slowly.

The surrounding walls of the room where the explosion occurred were pitch black, and the upstairs was not too far behind. There was also a large amount of thick smoke coming out of the windows. It was obvious that it had been burned by the fire for a while.

"Is there anything valuable missing in the room?" Officer Gao then asked.

"Have."

"what?"

"money."

"cash?"

"Correct."

"..." The case was solved.

The bearded man next to him also murmured and added: "And my guitar..." and a series of stall equipment.

"If the money is gone, you can make it again." Officer Gao could only comfort them in this way, "It's good that people are fine."

Both of them nodded reluctantly, and they didn't seem to feel much comfort.

The most urgent task now is to find a place to live.

The bearded man was just frightened, Lin Jianqiu's face was as white as paper, and he didn't know if it was because he was too tired, or it was just a blow too much.

Residents who were evacuated from the surrounding areas left after registration. Some went to find friends, and some returned to work. Everyone has a job and needs a good rest.

Lin Jianqiu and Big Beard were left standing in the cold wind, a little pitiful.

"Do you have any other friends who can join us temporarily?" Officer Gao asked.

"No." The two shook their heads together.

Officer Gao thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't you go back to the police station with me for the night? It just so happens that I have something to ask you guys tomorrow."

The bearded man looked at Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu rubbed his face, and muttered in a low voice: "The police station shouldn't need to pay the rent, right?"

"...We are not a hotel."

"Then I will trouble you." Lin Jianqiu immediately answered.

"..."

Ye Huaishuang waited for the senior police officer in the car.

He has only met Officer Gao a few times, and he is not too familiar with Team Liang, who he has frequent contact with, but he is used to doing things from the beginning to the end, and since he promised to send people to their destination, he doesn't mind waiting. for a while.

It just so happened that he had just finished his work these two days, and it was rare for him to have some leisure, so he was not in a hurry.

A colleague in the laboratory called him and said that the test results of the samples sent in the afternoon have not yet been released, but they have roughly the direction.

Their research center has a dedicated testing center, and occasionally cooperates with the police to provide some technical support when the police are under too much pressure or the accuracy of equipment testing is limited.

Handling a case pays attention to efficiency and is a race against time. They are also used to the process, and they will be notified as soon as possible if there is any progress.

"You pass the report over first... well, I'll go back later... I still have something to do here."

Ye Huaishuang looked up and saw Police Officer Gao and two people coming out together. He hung up the phone and heard that they seemed to be talking about the explosion and the case.

"After the investigation here tomorrow, you can come back and see if there is anything that can be rescued."

"This is not your human error, and there should be no need to compensate the landlord."

"If it is really difficult, you can try to apply for emergency subsidies."

"The rent in the community behind West Street is relatively cheaper, and it is safer."

Ye Huaishuang got out of the car, and when she approached, she heard that they had finished talking about the renting issue and started to talk about the case.

"By the way, do you know Zhong Xinyue?" Officer Gao suddenly asked, "She plays a supporting role in the same crew as you."

The bearded man was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Sister Zhong, I know her. She is quite a nice person. Does she have anything to do with this case?"

But he obviously has limited understanding.

Officer Gao looked at Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu replied: "She has a six-year-old daughter who is often brought to the set, as if she is the only one to take care of it."

Officer Gao reacted quickly.

There is a six-year-old daughter, and she is still taking care of her. Unless there are some serious mental problems, it is almost impossible to take the initiative to kill.

The case of Song Qixiu and Tang Meiyu is obviously not impulsive murder.

Lin Jianqiu then said: "She finished filming in the afternoon. An hour before Tang Meiyu entered the dressing room, she took Nan Nan, her daughter, back home. I haven't seen her since then. You can't contact her either. fuck her?"

Officer Gao nodded: "Someone saw her quarreling with Tang Meiyu in the morning, and slipped out something to tell her to be careful. After someone provided this clue in the afternoon, we were unable to contact her."

That's why he had to make a special trip to look for it in person.

Lin Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked around: "Does Sister Zhong live around here?"

Officer Gao pointed in a certain direction: "There is a distance from here, and we have to go a little further to the southwest, about two kilometers. Is there any problem with this?"

Lin Jianqiu rubbed his chin: "She mentioned before that her place of residence is closer to the east of the city. On the day the serial murder case in the east of the city was published in the newspaper, she saw the newspaper in my hand. She was obviously afraid that something might happen to her daughter. Just call to confirm. It is very far away, but she said that she lives near the east of the city."

Now it seems more like a cover-up excuse.

The bearded man also remembered this incident, and nodded aside: "I also remember, there is such a thing."

Officer Gao's expression became a little more serious, he took out a pen and paper and began to record: "Is there anything else?"

"Sister Zhong kept Nan Nan with her for the next few days. I heard that she asked the aunt downstairs to take care of her."

"When I came to pick up Nannan this afternoon, I was also in a hurry. She said she had made an appointment to take her daughter to the amusement park at two o'clock in the afternoon, and she was already late."

"Nan Nan is very sensible and tolerant. She won't cry and make a fuss over such a trivial matter. If she doesn't feel guilty for being late... maybe she is afraid that something will happen to her."

The serial murder case in the east of the city has not been solved so far, and new victims appeared afterward, causing panic.

However, the new case still did not go out of the east of the city. Instead, it went further east, farther away from the west of the city.

If Zhong Xinyue really lives near the east of the city as she said, then there is nothing wrong with worrying too much.

But the fact is just the opposite.

Moreover, in the film crew, so many people watched, and a pass was required to enter and exit. Comparatively speaking, it was less likely to encounter a serial murderer than at home.

So what is there to be afraid of?

unless……

Officer Gao paused, and couldn't help muttering: "She knew something would happen."

"Besides, Sister Zhong is very good at being a person. Even when everyone is mocking a person, she will not make a sound and follow him, let alone offend a popular star."

Lin Jianqiu paused.

"If she really told Tang Meiyu to be careful, it might not be just angry words, but knowing that someone wants to kill her."

After the words were settled, Officer Gao and Lin Jianqiu looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy at the same time.

Only the bearded man looked bewildered, showing a bit out of place and at a loss.

In this moment of dead silence, only the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night was extraordinarily cold. The crowds on the street gradually receded, making it even more empty. Only the drunk man who had just left the restaurant staggered away against the flow of people.

Standing on the outside, Lin Jianqiu was bumped unexpectedly.

He was already very tired. If he hadn't been too excited, he might have fallen headlong at any time. Just being hit by someone would be enough, and he almost fell off the curb.

Ye Huaishuang had been standing quietly listening to their exchange, did not speak, and stood there as quietly as a piece of wood. Seeing this, she stretched out her hand to help Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu turned to see him, a little surprised, as if he just found him standing beside him.

Ye Huaishuang frowned slightly, looking very dissatisfied with his behavior of standing here.

Lin Jianqiu thought that he had to pay attention to his sleeping problem again—although he didn't know exactly where Ye Huaishuang's inexplicable parental mentality came from.

However, Ye Huaishuang just took out the car key and opened the door.

He glanced at Lin Jianqiu, without any doubt or hesitation, and spoke before they mentioned it.

"Get in the car. I'll take you there."
